Chapter 10: The Devil's Sword
As soon as the Destruction Guard saw the living man, his eyes immediately glowed with a blood-like red glow, and with a beastly roar in the sky, he leaped up with his sharp fangs, brandishing a flaming greatsword and slamming it at the crowd.
The blazing flame of the giant sword brought a whirlwind just by swinging, and one of the soldiers in the rush of dodging did not have time to completely dodge, and was grazed to the side by the giant sword, but the sound of scalp-numbing bone cracking sounded, and the soldier was thrown up like a broken sack, blood spurted wildly, and he was not alive.
There was another terrifying roar, and the Destruction Guardian Greatsword swung wildly, leaving a huge scorched black sword mark on the ground every time it fell. The giant tail swept again and again, basically dying when touched, and dying when touched.
Dick was in a hurry, this destruction guard was already equivalent to the strength of a human mage and a warrior, if it was not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the group would all have to explain here, thinking of this, the speed of reciting the spell in his mouth couldn't help but be a little faster.
In order to be able to perform the first magic themselves, the four valiant soldiers never got back to their feet.
"Dark Curse: Sluggish!"
The Destruction Guard's movements slowed down almost immediately, and he stared at a pair of blood-red eyes. Searching around the crowd, his gaze was fixed on Dick, and a brown light suddenly shot out of the giant eyes of the Destruction Guard, aiming at Dick! The halo came so quickly that Dick couldn't dodge or block at all.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed in front of Dick's eyes, and Dimihera came to Dick's side with incredible speed and blocked the blow for him.
"Dimichra......
"The high-level Abyss Demon is naturally proficient in all kinds of curse techniques, and the blow it just delivered to you is the Cripple Curse. ”
"Anyway, Xiexie, you're here!" Dick never thought the demon would come out to save himself.
"You...... Hmph, be careful, in addition to being crippled and cursed, the Destruction Guardian is also proficient in several types of magic!"
As if to annotate Dimihera's words, the Destruction Guard was slow for a moment, and immediately stabbed several swords by several brave soldiers, and suddenly there was another roar, and at the same time, with a wave of the Flame Giant Sword, dozens of red fireballs the size of human heads appeared in the air out of thin air, whistling and smashing down on the top of everyone's heads. What's even more terrifying is that this fireball has just fallen in a wave, and it is a new wave of dozens of pieces that condensed in the original air, and then then fell, and then condensed. It's like it's endless.
"This 'rain of fire' magic is regionally restricted, you can tell your soldiers to run away. Dimichra said lightly.
Dick didn't dare to slack off, and quickly yelled for the soldiers to evacuate, but despite this, two soldiers still fell before they could escape from the rain of flames. In his panic, Sna was also hit by the rain of flames, but fortunately, he was so strong that he used his long sword to smash the incoming fireball.
Dick's lips moved again, and he was muttering a spell that he hadn't used in the academy competition.
Several soldiers escaped from the range of the Rain of Flames with injuries, but they were all worthy of the word "elite", and as soon as they were out of danger, they immediately did their duty again and went with all their strength to kill the destruction guard. The Guardian of Destruction also seemed to be a little tired from casting two spells in a row, and did not release any new spells for a while. Until Dick completes his spell.
"Dark Curse: Aging!"
The terrifying sight happened, the muscular and majestic body of the Destruction Guard quickly dried up, and some of the exposed hair on the body also quickly turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, the Destruction Guard, who was still majestic a moment ago, was only left with skin and bones, Zuihou let out an unwilling roar, and the Destruction Guard fell, and the too shriveled and thin body was even thrown out of a heavy armor when it fell.
This terrible curse is the aging curse of dark magic supplemented by the time acceleration of the time system, and the power is even more powerful than the curse of sluggishness, after all, no one can compete with time except gods, and no one can compete with aging!
However, Dick did not use this magic when he was in the academy because it was too vicious and there was no way to control the intensity of the curse.
After defeating the Doom Guards, Sna began to gather the crowd, and now only seven of the original fifteen elite soldiers remained, and almost all of them were wounded. The soldiers who had been knocked away by the Doom Guards were also examined, and all of them were dead, and none of them were alive.
After disposing of the deceased's body slightly, the nine, including Dick, looked at the giant cyan gate guarded by the Destruction Guard. The gate is eight meters high and twelve meters wide. It is covered with patterns of the sun, moon and stars. In the very center of the gate, a huge demon relief is carved.
After making sure that there was no keyhole or mechanism on the door, Dick had no choice but to force it.
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
......
With a thunderous roar, everyone's attacks continued to fall on the cyan demon gate, even if this gate was strong, it couldn't resist everyone's joint attack and a Dao crack appeared.
As Dick used the "Hades Demon Scythe" again, the gate that had been struggling to support finally collapsed with a "bang". The scene behind the gate is also completely presented in front of everyone's eyes.
It's an incredibly large temple. It is more than 10 meters high, and its length and width are more than 100 meters. High above the altar is a figure wrapped in a pitch-black cloak, presumably the Lord of Darkness. The unreachable ceiling of the room is inlaid with hundreds of night pearls, large and small, like stars in the sky, illuminating the entire temple as if it were day. On the ground in the center of the temple, a huge magic circle of extreme complexity is carved, and the magic runes in the magic circle are all poured from pure gold or mythril, and at the same time, it is inlaid with countless precious gems. In the very center of the magic circle, there is a short black stick.
Dick breathed a sigh of relief, since this is a temple dedicated to the Lord of Darkness, then everything is well explained, the Abyss Demons like the dark element and fire element dense areas the most, they usually like to hide in the dark underground magma, and they are also a race that believes in the power of darkness, so the temple dedicated to the Lord of Darkness was built under the vein of the dark iron ore full of dark elements and fire elements - the dark iron ore provides the dark element, and the magma river in the cave provides the fire element. Until three hundred years ago, Edward I's war against the Demon Clan broke out, and the Demon Clan suffered heavy losses in the battle under surprise, and had no choice but to withdraw from the scope of the Twelve Provinces in the Southwest. However, the temple dedicated to the Lord of Darkness was sealed and hidden, and several of the higher demons were assigned to stay behind to prevent their gods from being desecrated by the invading Terran forces.
Dick walked slowly until he reached the great magic circle, and everyone followed him.
"Dimichra, do you know what this magic circle is for?" Dick asked in his mind.
"Don't you feel that the dark element here is more than ten times richer than before?" Dimihera asked rhetorically, "That's what this magic circle does. ”
"Boy, now you have two choices, if you are willing to give up space-time magic and specialize in dark magic, with the help of this magic array, your cultivation will be a thousand miles in a day, and the effect of this magic array is not comparable to the defective product in your room. ”
Dick thought for a moment, then said, "Tell me another option." ”
"Don't you think about it?" said Dimichra in a seductive tone.
To be honest, Dick was indeed a little moved, the dark element in the cave was already far richer than normal, and after the increase of this magic array more than ten times, Dimihera's "cultivation is a thousand miles a day" is not an exaggeration at all. However, this ability to manipulate the dark element was obtained through a contract after all, and what if the contract was terminated in the future? And the liliang of time and space is his innate ability, and he can use it without scruples and cultivate without scruples. In addition, the power of space-time magic is far superior to that of the elemental system, although that may not be until he reaches the Grand Magus or even the Holy Magister.
Thinking of this, Dick repeated again, "Tell me another option." ”
"It's boring, I want to see how you hesitate...... The second option is to destroy this magic array, see those gems and metals on it, they are all valuable goods, and the magic array that you put in will definitely be able to greatly enhance the power, of course, the most precious thing is the treasure located in the eye of the array, usually this kind of big magic array has to have one or two treasures or even artifacts as the eye of the array. Dimichra said slowly.
"Is this what you mean?" Dick slowly walked to the pitch-black shortstick in the center of the magic circle. Hold it with one hand and lift it vigorously, but it doesn't move.
Dick crouched down, grabbed the stick with both hands, and pulled it out again, cracking the ground around him, but the stick still didn't move.
"I don't believe it, I can't pull out a stick!" Dick said fiercely, and with all his fighting energy, he pulled out again with all his strength, and the ground cracked even more, as if there was a thicker part of the lower end of the short stick buried in the ground. The short stick was finally lifted inch by inch, revealing the skull carving below, and with a few more inches pulled out, suddenly, the resistance was all gone, and the whole "short stick" was suddenly pulled out by him, but fortunately Dick retracted in time, so as to avoid falling to the ground and making a fool of himself.
Dick looked in amazement at what he had pulled out—a pitch-black sword, the short stick that had just been cut was the hilt of the sword, and the gauntlet was in the shape of a demon's skull, and two bones were decorated on either side. The blade of the sword spat out from the gaping mouth of the demon's skull.
"What does that mean, Dimihera?" Dick found a string of patterned symbols on the hilt of his sword.
"This is the text of the Abyss Demon, which translates to the Terran language as the underworld, the meaning of the netherworld, which should refer to the name of this sword. ”
"Nether ......," Dick muttered.
Dick held the magic sword Netherworld, and danced a few sword flowers in his hand, "Anyway, I just lack a suitable weapon, and this 'Netherworld' is just what I want." ”
"Sna, you can take someone to inspect this temple again, and if nothing out of the ordinary is there, let's go back the way we came. Dick said to Sna.
At the same time, while Sna was leading the search, Dick did not forget to scavenge the rare metals and precious gems poured into the huge magic array.
As Dick expected, there were no hidden passages or chambers in the temple, nor were there any other demons hidden.
Everyone finally set out on their way home.
