304. Guardian of the Heroic Soul [Fifth Update]
Where can I find the Guardian Spirit?
Others may have to visit the entire mermaid capital, but for Sean, there is absolutely no such trouble.
The central courtyard is home to a demon lord, and the path to the right is the teleportation magic circle leaving the mermaid capital, which Sean understands as an emergency passage. According to this layout, the position of the guardian spirit is naturally the passage behind the central courtyard.
At this time, Nolo followed Sean back to the position of the central courtyard, and the sulfur breath from the abyss became more obvious, and even had a somewhat choking burning sensation. After all, Nolo is a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, and at this time, the smell of sulfur is not so severe, and he can still resist it, while Sean is a player, basically even if he will be affected, there will be no sequelae and other problems.
However, when the two of them looked towards the central courtyard, they could still see that the huge stone pillar was on the verge of completely shattering.
Sean glanced at the time, there were less than two minutes left.
As for the central lake, magma has already begun to appear at this moment.
It seems that the magma is seeping out of the ground little by little, as if the core of the earth's crust is under the bottom of the lake. But in fact, the magma is projected from the abyssal plane little by little, and the closer the two different planes get together, the faster the magma will diffuse when the projection of the abyssal plane and the current world completely overlap.
In the same way, the environmental transformation of the whole world will become faster.
At that time, with this central courtyard as the core, the entire Mermaid Capital will begin to slowly assimilate into the Abyss Plane.
Sean didn't go any further. Instead, he accelerated and ran towards the rear.
No matter what the cost, he must activate the guardian spirit. This is the only way to buy them time to get out of here. And Sean would have this kind of thought, very simple - he was a gamer after all. It's not like the aborigines who hear strange creatures like demons and devils, and they are so frightened that they don't know what to do.
With the system's prompt function, Sean knows that many things have a turnaround.
It's a pity that Sean's comprehension is still a little late.
After all, this world still has the influence and assimilation of Sean.
At least if in the game, Sean would have noticed the countdown as soon as he heard the system prompt him that the mission had failed, and the task punishment was to release the Lord of Arrogance. Because in general. Task penalties are immediate, and there is rarely such a delay, and if a task has this delay, it means that the task is not actually considered a failure, and there are still many turnarounds.
Of course, in the game, it is nothing if the player fails the mission, even if the player dies, at most it is just a level of chagrin.
The task gives seven minutes. It was clearly to give Sean a time to prepare and buffer, allowing him to react to the complete advent of the Lord of Arrogance. As for what to do during this reaction time, although the system does not explicitly remind it, it also hints at Sean: release the guardian spirit. Then find a way to leave the Mermaid Capital.
It's a pity that Sean didn't find out at first.
Thankfully, it's not too late to find out.
Sean has already turned over all the hole cards that can increase speed. At this point, even Nolo couldn't be much faster than Sean.
Soon. The two men went through the corridor to the back of the central courtyard.
It's also a huge space.
It's just this space. Compared to the central courtyard, it is easier to be shocked.
But for Sean and Nolo at this time, under this shock, it was more of an excitement.
Because at this time, what was presented in front of Sean and the others was a huge training ground.
This is a training ground unique to the Mermaid Empire.
On this training ground, Sean saw four legion-type puppets with different banners.
The Lion Scorpion Legion, the Aeolus Legion, the Ice Crystal Legion, the Predator Legion.
These are the four legions that were known as the most powerful during the First Mermaid Empire.
Back then, if the Second Mermaid Empire had these four legions that were known as the strongest combat power of the Mermaid Empire, then it would not have been destroyed by the human race later.
At this time, although the number of puppets of these four legions in this training ground is not very large, if the four legions are combined, there are at least two thousand in size. Based on Sean's information on the Mermaid Empire, the combat power level of these four legions may not be weaker than that of the eighth or ninth level army - although each legion retains only one strong combat unit at this time, it is no longer a problem for a simple legion to deal with an ordinary legendary powerhouse.
Of course, if these four legions are allowed to fight Elken, then it will definitely not be enough.
But even Elken, if he wants to deal with all the puppets of these four legions, he can't think of ending the battle in ten minutes.
However, as a means of suppressing the Lord of Arrogance, and providing time for the survivors of the Mermaid Capital, it is clear that these four legions are not the only ones on this training ground.
Behind the phalanx of the four legions is a three-tiered platform resembling an altar.
However, the area of this high platform is not small, and of course, the height is not as simple as only three floors.
Even with Sean's eyesight, he could see that this high platform must be at least thirty meters high.
On the second floor of the platform are four strangely shaped puppets. However, the appearance of these four puppets is not ordinary at all, but has a lot in common with the Sacred Wall of Silver Radiance. There is no doubt that these four puppets must be special type of puppets, but even Sean can't fully remember the numbers of all the special types of puppets, he only recognized one of them as number twenty-seven.
On the third level of the platform, there is only one puppet sitting on a throne.
This puppet is very different from a normal puppet.
It wore a suit of armor that radiated a brilliant golden light, and on its left waist, it had two arc knives tied to it, and its long golden hair hung down behind it. The whole form seemed to be filled with a kind of divine and awe-inspiring majesty, even if he just stood at a relatively far distance and looked at it, Sean also felt a slight tingling sensation in his eyes, which made him subconsciously want to bow his head and avoid it, not daring to continue watching.
This puppet, alone in power, is no weaker than the average legendary powerhouse, Sean's heart, at this time, there is a turbulent wave.
Of course, what is even more shocking is that Sean has seen the position of the mermaid's holy crown.
It's on the head of this puppet.
Obviously, this puppet is probably the so-called guardian heroic spirit.
And in the third mission goal, it is ridiculous for Sean to take away the mermaid holy crown from his head without alarming this puppet! Sean would feel a tingling in his eyes even when he looked at the other party, and it was simply an impossible task not to alarm the other party to take the mermaid holy crown.
Of course, at this moment, Sean is still a little weird in his heart.
The mermaid clan has never given birth to even a legendary powerhouse.
However, these puppets created have the combat power of the Holy Domain and even the legend, which has to be said to be a great irony.
However, what is even more ironic is that with the collapse of the First Mermaid Empire, after the Second Mermaid Empire lost the manufacturing technology inheritance of the mechanism golems, the highest achievement of those mechanism puppets remanufactured is only equivalent to the special type of mechanism puppets in the middle of the sacred domain, and even those legion-type mechanism puppets made later are not as good as half of the strength of the First Mermaid Empire.
But this is not the time to make Sean feel emotional.
Without hesitation, he immediately took a step forward.
But with this step, a sense of fear of death instantly enveloped Sean's whole body, and almost instantly, Sean's face suddenly turned white, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. And Nolo, as if he was facing a great enemy, looked at the puppet that was still sitting on the throne hundreds of meters away with a frightened expression.
"Human, this is not the place you should be treading in."
A majestic and rich voice echoed in the training ground.
With the sound of this voice, the four puppets on the second floor also raised their heads and looked directly at Sean and Nolo, and the awe-inspiring killing intent instantly became more intense. But this is not over, a strange sound of organs sounded one after another, and the puppets of the four major legions that were originally dormant also moved slowly, and a tragic aura actually emanated from the puppets of the four major legions.
Such a strong momentum seemed to be condensed into one, and it was not felt at all that it was emitted by many puppets.
But what really stunned Sean was not that these puppets could exude such a strong momentum, but that the puppet sitting on the throne was actually able to speak!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, and holding back the pressure that almost made Sean's spirit collapse, Sean said in a deep voice: "It's not that I want to set foot here, but I have to set foot here!" β¦β¦ I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but ...... I have come here at this time to bring orders from you mermaid orphans, and I am entrusted by men! β
Nolo's heart was a little shocked, but more importantly, he finally knew why he was being commanded by this master.
In terms of the shameless Cheng DΓΉ, as well as the ability to speak up, Sean is definitely at the level of a super strongman.
Sure enough, after hearing Sean's words, the murderous aura that shrouded Sean and Nolo weakened slightly: "How can I trust you?" β
"The seal of the Lord of Pride has been broken!" (To be continued......)
PS: There was a mistake in the previous chapter, the King of Laziness is ranked third, and the second is the Lord of Arrogance. β¦β¦ I've revised it before, but some people may not have seen the revised version, so I'll make a special note here.
