Chapter 0713: Dark Invasion

As Thom stared in horror at the gap in the iron fence, a twisted and eerie figure appeared behind him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he heard the movement, he had just turned his body around when his eyes met a pair of scarlet and fanatical evil eyes.

What an ugly and wicked terrible monster!

It resembles a skinned monster stinging snake. The slender and narrow triangular pyramidal head, the withered and sturdy snake-like body, the snake's tail dragged behind it was short and stout, the body was full of terrible lumps in the shape of tree nodules, and the body surface was covered with mucus. In the original position of the arm, two huge sharp arthropods similar to insect creatures appeared.

In an instant, Thom's body was paralyzed, and the great horror made it impossible for him to move even a little finger, and he stared at the other party with his mouth wide open and full of fear.

A sticky, slippery, wriggling cocoon was shoved into Thom's mouth, and before he could struggle to refuse, the cocoon

The greater fear caused Tom to break free from his paralyzing gaze, and he fell to his knees, digging at his throat frantically trying to vomit the horrible thing out. It's a pity that nothing was spit out except for a few mouthfuls of foul-smelling putrid fluid.

And at this time, strange guys in black robes also appeared in the field, and each black-robed man was followed by three or four terrible servant corpses. Just from the strong, tough skin and swift and agile movements of these servants, it can be seen that they are all elite-level plague servants.

The black-robed people gathered in front of the poisonous stinger snake, and after a strange exchange of frog chirps, they walked into the winding but accessible tunnels of the sewer one after another.

These plague messengers will serve as the advance party of the plague army, and will be responsible for spreading the terrible plague germs to every inch of Iron Grove City, and building a terrible plague army for the great plague woman.

And the most powerful poisonous stinger snake under the Plague Maiden's seat raided the wizard tower with a group of plague elites, paving the way for the plague army to enter Iron Grove City. As for the one who led the way, it was the native Thom who knelt down in front of Lord Stinging Snake and bowed his head.

After being burrowed into the body by the "Rotten Heart Corpse Worm", the lonely scavenging boy Thom no longer exists. In his place is the new carrion host, Torris.

As a new type of plague creature recently cultivated by the plague girl, it can perfectly parasitize the flesh and blood creatures, controlling everything in the opponent's body. This makes them ideal candidates for sleeper spies.

Of course, their best flesh and blood hosts should undoubtedly be wizards with all sorts of supernatural powers. But today, in order to get acquainted with this extensive underground passage as soon as possible, the stinging snake had to use a rotting sac host on the body of an ordinary teenager.

After all, Tielin City is a core city that has been operated by the Wizards Association of Tallinn in the East for thousands of years, and there are many powerful wizards hidden in it, and all kinds of witch array facilities are readily available. Although the plague creatures can penetrate into the city through a gap corroded by the poisonous stinging snake, they are limited by the site and cannot continue to transport troops on a large scale.

And from the moment the stinging snake opened the gap, the wizard Tataring, who was in charge of monitoring the whole city, had already raised the highest level of alarm, and the cleaning team led by the wizard would soon close the entrance. Therefore, under the remote control and command of the plague girl, the first batch of people to enter the sewers was not a selection of powerful plague creatures, but more than a dozen plague messengers who spread death.

Due to their refusal to pay their last allegiance to the Witch God, loose organizations such as the Eastern Tallinn Wizards Association do not have a "Legendary Wizard" who has been transformed into a "Legendary Wizard", so their highest combat power is the Grand Wizard at the peak of the Holy Order. This is also a kind of helplessness.

As long as the overall world source power of the wizarding world is not improved, wizards will not be able to enter the legendary realm through normal perception and meditation, and the peak of the Holy Rank is the highest threshold for their life development. Only those saint-level wizards who have given up the glory of wizards, abandoned the tradition of wizards to pursue freedom, and knelt at the feet of the witch god, can be promoted to "legendary wizards" by the witch god in some special way.

According to preliminary estimates, in the Northland Witches and Silver Alliance, which have legendary wizards, there are no more than ten hidden legendary wizards, and all of them are the core combat power of the other party.

However, the "Legend Rank" obtained through the dedication of souls in this way also has huge flaws.

The first is the limitation of lifespan.

Dedicating one's soul and forcibly promoting, these are not the orthodox paths of wizards after all, so the transformed "Legendary Wizards" have legendary attack methods, but they do not have the realm and sublimation of legendary wizards. Therefore, many life extension rituals and bloodline and spell transformations that only orthodox legends can withstand cannot be applied to these legendary wizards.

Since the soul has never crossed the threshold of the separation between gods and mortals, the essence of these legendary wizards is still the pinnacle of mortals, and it is remarkable to reach the point of transcendent sanctification, but they cannot reach the transformation of the origin of the gods that live with heaven and earth.

In the wizarding world, a 9th-order great wizard can survive if he doesn't care about the difference in the life of the main body. And a great wizard at the peak of the Holy Rank, even if he exhausted all the rarest and best quality health resources, he would not be able to exceed the limit of 1,500 years. (The exception is, of course, the Undead Transformation and the Elemental Transformation.) )

And a true legend who has crossed the threshold of legends is often a terrifying old monster with a lifespan of two or three thousand years. This huge accumulation of lives over thousands of years has long been a huge difference between legendary powerhouses. An old Legendary powerhouse is enough to crush multiple newcomers who have just entered the Legendary Rank.

The entire multiverse, the reason why the legendary lich is so terrifying, is that this huge difference in strength formed by the accumulation of time and life.

The second is the lack of magic means.

Due to the closed self-defense of the wizarding world, coupled with the lack of legendary species, this has led to the almost blank of legendary means after level 20.

Without the accumulation of a large number of legendary predecessors for tens of millions of years, this transcendent magical method would not have appeared in their souls out of nothing. Most of the legendary wizards in the wizarding world now have only elevated one of their best 9th order witchcraft to the legendary level, and they do not really possess legendary witchcraft.

According to the common spell levels of the major planes, the level 19 great wizard can only use the 9th order of witchcraft, and the level 20 saint-level wizard can use the holy level of witchcraft, that is, the 10th-order witchcraft. And the real legendary spell should be the eleventh order.

However, the legendary wizards in the wizarding world use legendary sorcery that is only between the tenth and eleventh levels.

It was precisely because of the lack of the legendary wizard in Tallinn in the east that made the plague girl fear, so when it was fruitless to ask for Karthas, she brazenly launched a strong attack on Iron Grove City.

Although the plague army has a huge number of creatures, it does not have a strict and elaborate army structure, and its appearance is more similar to that of some zergs with amazing fecundity. Everything about strategy and tactics can be ignored, and they just blindly attack the enemy with their own special means.

The advantage and special means of the plague army are the overwhelming but invisible plague spores and virulent bacteria. Just as the demons of the abyss love the world of blood and fire, the plague creatures only like to fight in an environment full of plague spores and virulogenic bacteria.

…………

A piercing witchcraft alarm rang out.

The old wizard who was in charge of the dispatch of troops in the wizard tower was already pale.

These damn plague creatures are scurrying around the sewers like filthy rats. In less than three quarters of an hour, the probing circles scattered all over the sewers successively sent back the alarm of the discovery of xenomorph life.

The thought of the all-encompassing nature of the sewers made the old wizard dizzy for a while.

As a last resort, the wizard tower could only forcibly close the key nodes in the sewer with strong means, and cut off the internal communication with a heavy mechanism secret door, and then began to organize the wizards of the major families to go in and eliminate the plague creatures that were wandering.

However, the early encirclement and suppression did not go smoothly, and the progress of the extermination fed back from various places was slowed down again and again, and even in some areas, there was a bad situation where the wizard team was killed by the other party.

Those lowly poor ghosts and homeless people who usually beg for a living underground have now become the targets of plague transformation, which makes the other party add hundreds of cannon fodder out of thin air. In such a narrow and filthy environment as underground, powerful witchcraft cannot be cast, otherwise more than a dozen tons of rubble and rubble will fall on the head, and the first person to be killed is probably the wizard himself.

After several unsuccessful attempts, a large number of wizards escaped the sewers, instead sending a large number of flesh polluters, witchcraft golems, and other magical creations into the sewers to eliminate the plague creatures that roamed everywhere.

In the dark and filthy sewers of Iron Forest City, countless plague creatures and wizards' spell creations fought and chased everywhere, turning the entire tunnel world into a bloody killing battlefield.

Although the wizards' various containment measures and coping strategies are very correct, they still can't resist the pervasiveness of plague creatures.

Soon, on the surface of Iron Grove City, in a slum where the fleeing people gathered, symptoms of plague infiltration also appeared.

A dozen plaguebringers who had been lurking among the refugees had entered the city long before the wizards blocked the sewers, evading the wizards' hunt and spreading plague spores in the slums.

Countless human beings contaminated with plague spores and undergoing the transformation of the plague rolled and roared in pain on the ground, and kept hitting their bodies and heads against the surroundings to vent the unspeakable severe pain. Their bodies and limbs have been twisted into various inhuman forms, and large ulcers and abscesses appear on their bodies from time to time, and the whole scene is shocking.

A very small number of people with good physical fitness completed the body transformation in the shortest time, turned over and prostrate on the ground, and threw the relatively intact ones to the ground with a beast-like predatory action, and gnawed on them vigorously.

Countless irresistible miserable human beings are running in a daze, looking for all the places where they can hide.

Soon, there were jaw-dropping scenes of panic, despair, and wailing that enveloped the entire neighborhood.
