Chapter 499: Attack on Roger (2-in-1)
There were a few more figures on the pitch-black mountaintop.
"Is the treasure you said right here?"
The fire demon stared greedily at the castle floating in the black mist.
Along the way, they harvested a lot of precious materials under Gawain's guidance, but these things were just icing on the cake for the strongest people.
What they really needed was Pale Blood that would help them advance to Rank 4.
"What are you waiting for, let's get in quickly!"
Someone said eagerly.
"We're not going down this path."
The closer he got to the Black Keep, the paler Gawain's face became, and there was a red-black glow in his eyes.
"And the secret passage?"
Even the black soul, who has always been calm, could not hide the excitement in his heart.
They may not fully trust Gawain, but the harvest of this trip is too rich, so even if they know that there may be danger ahead, everyone can't curb the greed in their hearts.
"Follow me."
Gawain gave the Black Soul a look, and the latter nodded, and black smoke came out of his body and merged with the surrounding fog.
In the blink of an eye, the top of the mountain lost the voices of the people.
"You have to be quick, I can't hold on for too long with so many people at once."
In fact, the black soul really wanted to abandon those ordinary transcendents who were not strong, but at this time, Gawain did not speak, so he naturally couldn't take the initiative to provoke this topic.
The group walked forward, and soon came to the steps that Green had walked, and from here it would not be long before they reached the gates of the castle.
"Get close to me, follow my pace for a while, I'll say only once, if anyone is unlucky and dies on the road......"
Gawain was silent.
He slit his wrists and spread his hands to the ground, his head touching the ground, the blood flowing from the wound leaving a mark on the cold ground.
"Lilith, the Queen of the Night, is a powerful fourth-order transcendent, and we can't compete with him with our strength, so after finding the treasure, we must leave immediately!"
"Lilith has a mirror in her hand, and her most precious treasures are hidden in the mirror world."
As they were talking, the people who were wrapped in the black fog noticed that the scene in front of them had changed greatly, and their bodies were sinking.
The black, solid rock of metal melted beneath their feet, engulfing everyone's bodies like the surface of the water.
Someone tried to struggle for a while, and quickly broke away from the sinking state, but the next second, the person who broke away from the devouring was bounced away at a very fast speed, and then, there seemed to be countless invisible things swarming in the darkness.
In an instant, the transcendent was torn to shreds.
"What's going on?"
The black soul pressed the emotion in his heart and asked urgently.
"I said, don't move."
Gawain's voice was cold, and it was strange that he still didn't stop chanting while answering everyone's questions.
It was as if two Gawains were speaking at the same time.
"We're going in."
Everyone was still sinking, and that strong sense of wrapping made many people feel uncomfortable, but the image that Gawain had established along the way successfully suppressed the panic in everyone's hearts.
When the liquid-like rock was overhead, the vision went dark, followed by a blurred light in the darkness.
Plop plop!
Several figures fell from mid-air, and someone stood up, and it was cold and gloomy, and they looked around as if they were still standing on the top of the mountain just now
"Failed?"
"No!" The black soul said in a deep voice.
He looked up, and not far in front of him was the towering dark castle. The style and size of the castle was almost exactly the same as when they had seen it from a distance.
The only thing that seems to be close is the distance to the castle.
The black soul dispelled the black mist that shrouded everyone, "Look carefully, look at our feet." ”
The crowd followed the sound.
The blackstone-paved pavement was almost transparent, and through the jade-like ground, they could see the fog shrouded in winding mountains and the shadowy Black Castle!
It's just that compared to just now, the Black Castle they saw in their sight at this time was completely turned upside down, like a reflection.
"What's going on?"
"We're standing in the mirror?"
Gawain didn't answer, just looked at the Black Castle in front of him, and he turned his head with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to Lilith's Secret Garden."
"His treasures, his secrets, are hidden here."
"You mentioned the magic mirror just now, is it that we are in a mirror world now?"
"Sort of." Gawain was clearly reluctant to answer the question.
"More important than that is the treasure in the castle."
With that, he took the lead and walked briskly towards the castle not far away.
It's a peculiar feeling, you can see a completely upside-down world through the pavement beneath your feet, and walking on it is like standing on a mirror.
Faintly, a vague figure could be seen on the opposite side.
"Is there our body on the other side?"
Someone asked curiously.
"How is that possible?"
"What you're seeing is probably an illusion formed by the black fog at the top of the mountain."
Squeak!
Gawain pushed open the heavy door, and the hall was filled with a wide variety of spell-casting materials and supernatural items, and on either side of the center of the hall, several statues stood on either side.
"What is this?"
The statues were lifelike, with pain on their faces and despair in their eyes, their bodies wrapped in a red net that enveloped their bodies and connected to the castle floor.
"Don't move."
Gawain said coldly, his gaze following the stairs upward, somewhere in the darkness.
Often, the most precious treasures are hidden in the deepest part of the castle, or at the highest point.
Although there were many kinds of things in the hall, from the eyes of Black Soul and the others, they were not so important, and they also noticed Gao Wen's movements and walked to Gao Wen's side one after another.
"Where's that thing?"
The Fire Demon grinned, "To be honest, I'm really curious about where you came from, are you the mistress of the Queen of the Night?" ”
"Or an illegitimate child?"
He giggled.
The black soul on the side interrupted him.
"If you can really help us find the Pale Blood, I will promise to do three things for you when I enter the 4th Order."
"Three things that don't involve life!"
The Black Soul seemed to have made some kind of vow, and to be honest, his promise was extremely heavy.
"Me too."
The Flame Demon Compound.
"Haha, when we go back, we must take a good look at the faces of those idiots who didn't come to participate in this operation."
"To be honest, I was still a little worried when I heard that Mr. Mist didn't participate at first."
Gawain smiled.
"He's coming, what else can we get?"
"Let's go up."
Someone picked up a few things, and then followed Gawain to the top floor of the castle.
From here, the view was darkened, but the thrill of looking down on the people from a high altitude made everyone excited.
What matters is not the height of the castle, but the benefits that everyone is about to reap.
As they got closer and closer to the tower at the top, slowly everyone also felt the strange energy pressure.
The room at the top of the tower was completely shrouded in black fog, but this black fog did not affect everyone's vision, and the black soul only then noticed that the fog actually came from somewhere in the upper part of the tower.
He looked up.
There seemed to be a crack in the roof, and a steady stream of black mist was pouring out of it.
No, it's not the roof that's cracked.
It's the space that's cracking!
Gawain took a deep breath, and the black mist around him seemed to be pulled and poured into his body along his nose.
"Ah......h
He let out a hearty sigh.
"Come on, let's go find the real treasure."
After speaking, he jumped and his body sank into the gap.
"Absorb this black mist, this is our pass through the last barrier."
At this point, even if some people would doubt Gawain's motives and the truth of his words, no one would be willing to retreat anymore.
Everyone eagerly followed Gawain into the gap at the top of the tower, as if they were afraid that if they were too late, the treasure would be taken by others.
The body appeared in the void, and Gao Wen pressed the joy in his eyes, "Come on, just be careful......"
Behind him, others appeared one after another, and their bodies fell downward, and soon broke through a thin barrier, and a small hill appeared under his feet.
"This is it!"
Before he had time to rejoice, the surrounding black fog vibrate, and the arrival of everyone seemed to open some kind of restriction, and in an instant, the black magic circle enveloped everyone.
Immediately after that, a big hand that covered the sky and the sun fell from the sky.
"Shameless thing, you dare to come in?!"
An angry female voice came.
Gawain's face changed slightly, "How did she find me?" ”
"Why is there a defensive barrier here?"
Gawain probably wouldn't know if he wanted to break his head, and at this time he completely took the blame for Roger.
Everyone was confined in mid-air, looking at the huge palm made of black smoke, Gawain suddenly roared, "Something is down there!" ”
"It's time to fight hard!"
He immediately burst out with the energy in his body.
Hearing his words, the fire demon and the black soul also began to fight desperately at the same time.
But at the moment when the two of them burst out of energy, the power that shrouded Gao Wen's body was suddenly retracted, and he instantly broke free from the restrictions of the magic circle, and his body fell down quickly.
"What are you doing?"
The faces of the two black souls changed, but at this moment, the palm that fell from the sky slapped straight in the direction where the two were.
The black soul seemed to understand something, and the burst of energy enveloped him, and sure enough, the palm made of energy attacked the fire demon with the highest energy intensity.
The strength of the Fire Demon was indeed remarkable in the third order, but in the face of Lilith, even if it was just a casual blow, he didn't have any chance of backhanding.
And what the fire demon didn't know was that Lilith's attack state at this time was completely a reference to Roger's last outburst.
So he didn't have any ability to resist before he was wrapped in black energy, and then ripped out of the void!!
The energy hand came suddenly, and after taking away the fire demon, the surrounding confinement also disappeared without a trace, and everyone's bodies fell from mid-air.
Black Soul didn't hesitate and followed Gawain as soon as possible.
At the same time, somewhere no one noticed, there was a pool of black water in a pothole somewhere on the top of the mountain.
Immediately after, a figure silently appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Roger suppressed his energy to the limit.
In fact, he originally had the idea of fishing in troubled waters at first, but Roger had to change his mind due to repeated changes.
Uma hides in Galahad's shadow and gains key information in the Black Castle, and Roger originally intended to re-enter Lilith's shadow world through the shadow door at the end of the Shadow Hut when Lilith and Green begin their battle.
However, a little change happened in the middle, which made him restrain the impulse in his heart a little, until Green took out the sword of fate that had been cultivated with his own flesh and blood for decades.
Lilith then pulled the fire demon out of the mirror.
The appearance of the fire demon reminded Roger of Gawain, and he thought of the vague connection between Gawain and the Shadow Elder, which made Roger no longer hesitate and immediately open the door of the shadows.
He was extremely glad that he had obtained real-time information in the Black Castle through Uma, and more importantly, a moment of hesitation allowed Gawain to take the lead and trigger Lilith's imprisonment in the shadow world.
Even a little faster, then Roger could be the first prey to hit the trap and be ripped out by Lilith.
Leaving the Shadow Hut, Roger had lost the ability to obtain information from Uma about the Black Castle, and he didn't know what was going on over there, but at this point Roger couldn't care much more.
He had to speed up and get the Pale Blood before Gawain did!
Umma's message made Roger extremely glad that he hadn't entered the Black Castle where Lilith was as planned.
His own strength coupled with the full explosion of the cursed sword was already terrifying, and he also had the power to fight against a fourth order like Tamara, and there was even a great possibility that he could win.
But Lilith and Green are far more powerful than Roger could have imagined.
With his current strength, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
The time difference in front of him was his only chance.
At the same time, in the Black Castle, Lilith also saw the fire demon she had pulled out, and she was stunned at first, but soon realized something.
"What are you?"
After saying that, the fire demon used his palm to exert force, and before he could even let out a scream, the essence blood of his whole body was absorbed by Lilith.
In the face of Lilith, a third-order peak like the Fire Demon didn't even have the ability to resist.
With a slight stroke of her palm, the surface of the magic mirror changed, and then Lilith's body was slightly vertical, and she was about to drill into the magic mirror.
"You can't go anywhere?"
It wasn't clear what was going on, but it was clear that Lilith's situation at this point was of great benefit to Green.
He raised the weapon in his hand.
The sword of fate drew a strange trace.
There were no powerful energy fluctuations, and the speed of the attack was not fast, but it was this fluttering blow that interrupted all of Lilith's movements.
"Ahh
The sword slash didn't seem to hit Lilith's body, and she let out a scream, followed by a crack like a broken porcelain on the surface of her body.
Lilith's face changed dramatically.
The next moment, just as she was about to be slashed by Green's seemingly ordinary attack, the cracks on the surface of her body suddenly disappeared.
The attack was then shifted to the magic mirror behind her.
"No, she's going to reflex Green's attack."
Alessandro shouted.
The imaginary picture did not appear.
Click!
A crack appeared in the smooth mirror, and Lilith looked at Green with a gloomy expression.
"What kind of weapon is this?!"
