"Master, is this really no problem? Can they really eliminate the remaining nobles in the Golden City?"

Looking at the town shrouded in thick fog outside, Elise blinked curiously and asked.

No wonder she had such doubts. In Elise's opinion, the thirteen people brought by Zhan En had no fighting power at all. She did not feel any fluctuations in power from those thirteen people. If Zhan En had not introduced them,

If so, I'm afraid Elise would still think that Zhan was an ordinary person. The strangest thing about these guys is that they formed a circle in the square after arriving here.

Then they muttered something in a low voice, and then the whole person disappeared without a trace. Only the robes that had previously wrapped their bodies lost their support and fell to the ground. It looked like they had completely "melted"

.

Then the fog began to gradually spread throughout the Golden City. Until now, the fog has been spreading unswervingly for several hours, surrounding the entire Golden City. But Elise still didn't see this.

There is something strange about the fog. They are just fog. The "snow" falling behind is quite noticeable, but it is not poisonous or cursed. This made Elise think that those few people were the only ones out there.

I'm afraid its role was just to create a heavy fog. Not only that, but what puzzled Elise was that Zhan not only withdrew the aliens, but even asked Enoa to withdraw the undead creatures into the mine, and the entire Golden Land was completely destroyed.

Chengdu gave way. This made her even more confused.

"Don't worry, Elise. Believe me, there is absolutely no problem. Besides, those are not him or her. They are it. Or rather, it doesn't matter. It is not a mortal thing. You will understand soon.

That’s what I meant.”

Hearing Elise's uneasy inquiry, Zhan smiled and shook his head. Indeed, from the perspective of others, the fog covering the entire city is just a little annoying at best, but Zhan knows very well that what he has done is

How powerful is this card?

【Christian】.

Even looking at the entire dungeon system, [Cultist] ranks among the top three in terms of cost performance among all units. It is not as intuitively powerful as Diablo, but no one dares to underestimate this.

Combat units. In fact, [Cultists] are not even people. As long as you pay attention, you will find that there are no units behind their numbers, only a simple number [13], which marks the thirteenth of [Cultists].

nodes, and when these thirteen nodes are fully expanded, the [Cultist] will reveal its ferocious face hidden within.

【Double World】.

To put it bluntly. In fact, [Cultist] is an enchantment unit. After the player expands [Cultist], it is equivalent to releasing a fixed enchantment unit for area defense. And the enchantment itself is [Dual World]. All who enter this

People in the barrier will be mentally suppressed, and there is a certain chance of being attached to the "fear" effect. Not only that, the monsters in the [Dual World] do not need to be configured by the player. Instead, the [Double World] itself enters from

It is the product of finding their greatest spiritual weaknesses and fears in the minds of the readers and then materializing them.

Not only that. The most insidious thing about this barrier is that every time a person dies, its power will increase. And the monsters that materialize will become more powerful. And its characteristic is [cannot be lifted]

, this means that neither divine magic nor magic can lift this barrier. And no matter how powerful you are, if you cannot face the deepest evil and fear in your heart, you will eventually die. Not only that, when

After a group of units are completely dead in the barrier, the power of [Dual World] will increase to a whole level. When a group of people come in next time, they will face even more powerful monsters than before. This is simply an unbreakable monster.

A vicious cycle, and in fact in the game, the player who first obtained the [Cultist] unit continuously killed groups of adventurers trying to invade the dungeon, and even the legendary adventurer team with a four-star rating was

They all have a history of being trapped in [Dual World] and being instantly killed. This shows how powerful and terrifying this unit is.

But everything has weaknesses, and [Cultists] are no exception. Although it cannot be destroyed, its characteristics as a regular barrier still exist. [Double World] is a maze of the soul, and the maze naturally has entrances and exits. This is

The player cannot change it. Just like in every knight novel, the protagonist can always break out from the devil's army. As long as a person with a strong enough spiritual will finally overcomes his inner weakness, he may be able to leave the maze.

This is the "setting" of the maze, and players can only recognize it by pinching their noses.

But this is actually not a fatal weakness, because players can completely deploy an army outside the barrier and completely kill those "protagonists" who have the ability to walk out of the barrier. This is not a game. After beating the final boss, you can hug the beauty.

It is so simple to go home and live a happy life. Players are the most shameless group in the world. Of course, they will not look at someone differently just because they can break through the [dual world]. On the contrary, the possibility of directly eradicating them is higher. After all,

The one who can break through the [Dual World] is the protagonist. If you let him go this time, what if he brings a group of more powerful ones next time?

In addition, the second weakness is that although the [Cultist] unit can absorb the soul power of the dead in battle to continuously strengthen itself and create more powerful spiritual monsters, it is still attached to the dungeon after all.

As a combat unit, Zhan spends 500 resources each month - which adds up to a total of 2,000 resources to maintain its existence. If the resources are not enough, or the heart of the dungeon is breached, then the [Cultist] will naturally

It's over.

And beyond that, it's nearly invincible.

So Zhan En is not worried at all. [Double World] is a projection of the spirit, reflecting the darkness of reality. Even the legendary strong man cannot escape the past that he fears in his heart. In fact, the lack of movement in the thick fog is just

Searching for the spiritual gaps deep in everyone's hearts. Once they capture the darkness and fear hidden in the deepest parts, the [Dual World] will be activated immediately.

"Dang...Dang...Dang..."

But at this time, a heavy bell rang. When he heard the bell, Zhan En raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared in his eyes.

It seems that the [Cultist] has found its prey.

"This is……………"

Elise and Enoa turned to look at Zhan at the same time, and what they saw in their eyes was Zhan still sitting on the chair, raising a finger and looking at them with a mysterious smile. Soon

, along with the sound of the bell, the surrounding light suddenly began to dim. Then, darkness enveloped everything.

What on earth is going on?

The moment they were shrouded in darkness, Archmage Sharon immediately released a magic ball of light, illuminating the darkness in front of them. Then they discovered to their horror that as the darkness deepened, everything seemed to begin to change. Whether it was the walls

Cracks began to appear on the ground, and then their skins were torn off by invisible forces like bloody human skins, spinning and flying into the air. And behind those walls, a completely different scenery was revealed. It's just that

In the blink of an eye, even before Sharon finished chanting his protective magic, the whole world had changed in an instant.

The bright red, gloomy faint light reappeared. The world reflected was dim. But what was displayed in front of everyone at this moment was no longer the aristocratic manor area they were familiar with before, but a strange place full of blood and death. It was originally clean.

The neat walls turned into a mixture of rusty iron and stone, with tattered traces and dark red blood stains everywhere. Even the ground was covered in large swaths of sticky blood, which made the whole place look...

It's more like a bloody slaughterhouse than a residential area for the upper class.

As for the slaughterhouse...needless to say.

"This is……………"

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed, including Cobos and Sharon. Although they still didn't know what exactly happened, they were certain that this was definitely not a good thing.

"This is the barrier!!"

As a legendary mage, Sharon was worthy of his reputation, and he could see the truth of the strange scene in front of him at a glance.

"Boundary?"

Hearing this, Cobos turned his head and glanced at Sharon.

"Is there a way to crack it?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"It's hard to say, I don't even know how this enchantment works... Any enchantment has nodes, but I'm not a mage of the prophecy system, so I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

"Stop talking nonsense, can it be cracked or not?"

Cobos interrupted Sharon's somewhat cumbersome self-defense angrily. To be honest, he was starting to get a little tired of this guy now. Faced with Cobos's question, Sharon was stunned for a moment, and finally insisted.

Scalp shook his head.

"cannot……………"

"idiot!!"

Seeing Sharon's shameless look, Covos also secretly yelled, "How can other archmages be so shameless? They are also legendary mage after all. For your own sake, can you say something useful?"

?

"So what do we do?"

"The power of the barrier is not unlimited. I think we just need to concentrate on defense and persist until the power of the barrier ends. I didn't feel the elemental fluctuations before. This should be a temporary barrier. I don't think it will

Hold on too long.”

"I hope so..."

Cobos sighed. He always felt that things were not that simple, but now, he seemed to be unable to think of a good solution.

And at this moment, the darkness began to fluctuate.

"careful!!"

The ground began to roll like boiling water, and then everyone was horrified to see countless black bugs rolling out from the corners of the wall. They kept rising up like fountains, and then quickly crawled away along the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the insects spread their wings and rushed towards everyone like an overwhelming black torrent.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa overwhelmed by those black bugs,the leading soldiers were caught off guard and were pounced on by those bugs. They screamed in agony. They waved their hands desperately and swatted away those black bugs. But they didn't expect these bugs to be so powerful.

In their eyes, the hard armor made of steel was as fragile as paper. The insects, which were about half the size of a hand, used their forelimbs to tear open the armor, and then got into it. Then they saw the soldiers.

They began to scream wildly, and they hurriedly took off their armor, only to see creepy protrusions swimming under their skin, becoming more and more, and gradually gathering upwards. And those soldiers

They could only scream and watch the scene in front of them in despair, until the bugs finally gathered in their brains.

"Pfft!"

Blood spattered, and the next moment the soldiers' brains exploded, with fragments of brains and bones scattered in all directions. The bugs flew out of the blood foam and rushed forward again.

"The strong wind turns into a shield!!"

At this moment, Archmage Sharon finally showed the style of a legendary mage. Facing the overwhelming insects, he raised the black gemstone staff in his hand and shouted angrily. Then he saw that the air began to flow under the attraction of magic power.

Flowing, in the blink of an eye, a huge tornado took shape around the remaining people, blocking the attack of those dark bugs. The furious wind tore the bodies of those bugs and crushed them to pieces.

But this is not the end.

The torn insects turned into a little bit of darkness, and quickly retreated like water droplets. Then they merged together again, and soon formed a brand new monster.

Seeing this scene, Cobos and others were also secretly shocked.

What on earth is this?! (To be continued...)
