Chapter 177 Nowhere to run
Large tracts of red dots are disappearing.
"This is the prison of sinners, this is the trial house of purgatory. It seems that those nobles are not much better."
Looking at the system map in front of him, Zhan En showed a strange smile. On it, the red color representing the enemy in the noble district that was completely swallowed up by the barrier was rapidly decreasing. He could feel that with the death of those people, [Cultist
】The power is growing like a snowball. If all those three legendary level guys can be eliminated here, then Zhan can be sure that no one will be able to break through this line of defense for a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhan reached out his hand, picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and then moved forward.
Next, it's almost time to close the encirclement.
At the same time, in the aristocratic district, it was a different scene.
The brilliance of the sword moved forward, flashing through the darkness. The next moment, as the light passed away, the violent sword energy that followed was like a roaring large steamroller, crushing the eyes mercilessly.
The enemies tore all the weird monsters to pieces. But Covos didn't show much joy on his face, because he saw that the fragments of the monsters were re-condensing together like black water, shaking and condensing.
Transformed into a completely new form.
“Hurry up, let’s move on!!”
Seeing this, the old general frowned, and then shouted to the back. When he heard his shout, the soldiers following Cobos immediately started running quickly, and there were some who were panting among them.
Archmage Sharon. At this moment, he has summoned his own life-saving construct. This is also the biggest trump card of all transformation mages. The terrifying construct blessed by magic is enough to tear apart any enemy who dares to attack. But even so
Sharon, who was hiding under the protection of the construct, still did not feel at all at ease. On the contrary, he was panting heavily, his face was pale, and he looked around from time to time with a look of fear. Not only him, but also those from the Golden Legion.
The soldiers weren't much better.
There are more and more of those terrifying monsters, and they kill dozens, hundreds or even more. But this is meaningless. If they are not killed once, they will become stronger and transform into more terrifying existences.
Sharon once suspected that these guys were just some kind of hallucination, but he immediately dismissed this absurd idea after he was almost bitten off his arm by a dog-headed monster with a horse body. The soldiers of the Golden Legion were already dead and wounded.
Most of them, less than 300 people were left. As for the nobles, they could still hear their screams and calls for help before, but now the surroundings were silent, and nothing could be heard except the roars of the monsters.
From this it can be seen that they are probably in danger as well.
"General Cobos, what should we do next?"
Sharon was shouting out of breath while staring around nervously. They had gone to the Consul's Mansion before to look for the Lord of Hughes. But there was no trace of him. According to the survivors of the mansion, there was no sign of him.
According to the description, they were also attacked at the beginning, but were repulsed by City Lord Hughes. But after that, City Lord Hughes suddenly changed his expression when he saw the strange change in the city in front of him, and then he rushed out.
As for where he went, no one knows.
As for Hughes' safety, Cobos is not worried. As the city lord, Hughes is not only the most reputable person in the entire Golden City, but also the most powerful person in the entire Golden City. His strength has reached the level of mid-level legend.
, if he is not too old and has too many chores to deal with, it is not impossible to reach the peak of legend. But even so, the strength of this old city lord cannot be underestimated. Even if he is alone, I am afraid
It's not dangerous either.
But these monsters right now are too weird. Covos has killed them more than once, but they have also been resurrected more than once. Not only that, Covos can feel that these monsters will become stronger every time they are resurrected.
.In the beginning, they were just like ordinary animals, but now the strength of these monsters has almost reached the level of the elite peak, which makes Cobos unable to help but tremble with fear. There are hundreds of thousands of elite peaks.
Level monsters surrounded him, and he was already a bit overwhelmed. Not to mention that these guys couldn't be killed, and they would even resurrect and become stronger every time they were killed. He didn't know that these monsters became stronger because of the knot.
Since most of the people in the world are already dead, I thought they would become stronger every time I killed them. Therefore, I was tied up in dealing with these monsters and did not dare to use my full strength. I was afraid that if one of them was not good enough, I would be able to kill them again.
If these monsters are directly upgraded to the master level or even break through the mortal realm and directly enter the legendary realm, then they will not be able to survive at all.
Although as a well-informed swordsman, Covos vaguely felt that this was unreasonable. Even Archmage Sharon swore that he had never heard of anything similar, and it was too strange. However,
Now they have no better way to solve this problem.
"We must leave immediately."
Thinking of this, General Cobos quickly answered. Now the noble area is no longer safe. They must leave here and leave the Golden City. If they had hope before and waited for rescue, but now in this situation
, the possibility of rescue being able to arrive is basically zero. Even if they send people over again, I'm afraid there won't be many people left on their side by then.
"leave?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they couldn't help but cast their eyes downwards - with the arrival of the other world, the fog dissipated, and they could once again clearly see the civilian areas and commercial areas below. It was just the same as before.
It’s different. The commercial area and the civilian area below are now brightly lit, and you can even hear the sound of music faintly. This is very abnormal no matter how you look at it. Who knew there would be something waiting for them below? And the civilian area and the commercial area are comparable.
The Noble District is much larger, so it might not be that easy to leave.
"Yes, we must...!"
However, Cobos hadn't finished speaking yet. The scene in front of him changed again.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the skin that had been torn and flown away before was restored as if the image had gone backwards, covering the ground and walls again. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to its original state again.
"This is……………"
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.
Looking around, the previous purgatory-like scene no longer existed, replaced by thick white fog and the familiar buildings. Even the monsters that were chasing them before seemed to have completely disappeared into the fog at this moment.
There was no trace among them.
"I see!!"
Seeing this scene, Archmage Sharon seemed to finally have an idea and couldn't help shouting.
"This barrier has rules, and it also has its own weaknesses!!"
"weakness?"
"Yes, you see, those monsters have disappeared and we have returned to our original place. This shows that there is a certain time limit for the activation of this barrier. It consumed a lot of power to deal with us before, but now it is probably
It’s because we can no longer support that much consumption, so we’re restoring it again.”
Having said this, even Sharon himself thinks that he should have found the truth. It is a bit cruel to say. Although he is a legendary mage, he has only just reached this realm, and is not as stable as Cobos and Hughes.
He himself doesn't seem to care much about this. Sharon prefers to spend his energy on money and women instead of studying magic. But now it seems that he still has the knowledge that a great mage should have.
.
"But aren't there monsters in the mist?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
Hearing this, a knight hesitantly asked a question, while Sharon shrugged.
"But there are so few monsters in the mist that you can barely see them. Haven't you noticed? I think this is our chance. Now that the barrier has consumed a lot of power by attacking us, it temporarily has no power to attack us again.
Pull into that world! This is the best opportunity for us!"
"Okay. Keep going, let's get out of here."
Hearing Sharon's words, Cobos nodded. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in the words of the archmage, but no matter what, the mage was better at talking about those mysterious things. Now he takes
This strange mist had no other choice but to nod and issue the order.
"Is this the end?"
Seeing the scene of the old swordsman leading the remaining soldiers turning away projected on the crystal ball, Elise couldn't help but tilted her head curiously. Enoa also blinked and glanced with a half-smiling expression.
Zhan, but he didn’t say much.
"Of course not, it's just halftime."
Faced with Elise's inquiry, Zhan En shook his head. As a unit, the [Cultist] naturally needs to eat, but at the same time it also needs to digest. Don't look at it. The [Outside World] is much safer than the inner world, and there are fewer monsters.
It's pitiful. In fact, that is the time when the [believers] are absorbing and digesting the soul power obtained from the [other world]. Just like people always have to take a break to digest after eating. When these powers are digested, [the believers]
】The overall strength will increase by one stage. When the second [next world] arrives, those invaders will be horrified to find that they will encounter monsters that are more terrifying and powerful than before.
So instead of escaping, these guys have already reached the gallows, and the rope has been wrapped around their necks. They are just waiting for an order to go to meet their God.
Oh, no, the souls of these guys will be completely devoured by the [believers], and not even the residue will be left, so no matter what they believed in during their lifetime, it will be useless. In any case, when they die, they will just be the food of the [believers]
.
Thinking of this, Zhan En couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that he could summon something like a cultist, he should have just thrown it out to cover the entire Golden City. As long as the [cultist] could devour and digest these more than 8,000 lives,
With the power of the soul, these three legendary powerhouses would probably have been killed instantly, and they would not have to wait until now.
But it doesn't matter now.
Zhan shook his head and focused his eyes on the crystal ball projection in front of him again. In his eyes, he could clearly see another characteristic.
The horror of [Dual World] is not just about monsters.
The journey was very smooth.
Covos led the soldiers out of the noble area, passed through the commercial district, and headed towards the city gate. There were almost no obstacles on the way. Although a few monsters could be found occasionally, they seemed to be well aware of Covos' power, and they also
He stayed away without meeting him. This also made Cobos relieved. Now he just hopes to leave here safely. As for the next thing - let's think about it later!
But what gave him a headache was that Sharon kept complaining along the way, which made Cobos feel a little upset.
But now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters. The city gate is already in front of you. As long as you leave here...
Cobos stopped and stared ahead in stunned silence.
The city gate was wide open - Kafka's sword when he escaped had completely shattered the city gate, but this was not important. What was important was that what appeared in front of everyone was not the plain they remembered.
with roads.
Instead, it is a dark, endless abyss. (To be continued...)
