Chapter 369: The Prison of Darkness (IX)
In the dim and narrow tunnels, a group of people were stumbling forward.
They were sweating profusely, their original demeanor was long gone, and the aristocratic clothes they wore had long since become dirty and full of dust. But now no one cares about that, they just desperately move forward, forward, and forward. Behind them, several paladins followed.
"Hurry up, don't stop!! Lord Bishop has bought us precious time, we must reach the teleportation circle before those terrible monsters can catch up with us, and get out of here!! ”
At the head was a tall man in black armor, who turned his head and shouted loudly as he galloped forward, motioning for the others to follow. Behind him, the nobles were already panting, and even some of them were pale, walking crookedly, and they could barely walk.
"I can't do it............!!"
Suddenly, at this very moment, a nobleman fell to his knees crying and crying.
"I can't do it, a lot of people are talking, talking in my head, they're crying, laughing, hahaha, it's so noisy, I can't stand it, I ............can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it!!"
As he shouted, the nobleman slammed his head against the wall in front of him with a bang. Seeing this scene, the others immediately let out a scream of surprise, and soon, the two people closest to him hurriedly rushed up and tried to pull him away.
"Hold on, sir, ............!"
"Roar!!"
But the other party did not respond to their cries. Instead, the nobleman, who had already smashed himself on the head and was bleeding, suddenly let out a beastly roar. Then he turned abruptly, raised his two hands, and threw himself at his attendant. And see this scene. The two attendants also screamed in fright and hurriedly pushed back.
"Get out of the way!!"
Seeing that the nobleman was about to pounce on one of his entourage, suddenly, with a roar, I saw the middle-aged man in black armor striding forward, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the next moment a pitch-black long sword pierced through the nobleman's heart and nailed him to the wall. I saw that the dirty body trembled a few times, and then it completely lost its vitality. Until this time. The warrior walked up to the corpse and stared at the bloody and fierce face. Then he sighed imperceptibly, and reached out to close his eyes. Then, the middle-aged swordsman turned to look at the others.
"Hurry up, we have to get out of here!!"
No one said much, not even the paladins said anything about what was happening at the moment, they knew their mission was very important. There's really no time to waste here. So everyone took one look at the nobleman's body and moved on. But even so, many of them showed a bit of sadness. After all, something like this happens. No one wants to see it.
"Why do we have to suffer like this?"
The young man in the middle of the crowd muttered to himself, and he lowered his head to see a black iron box in his hand. Could it be that it has caused all these disasters? He had thought that his family's suffering should have ended here. But why is this happening? Could it be that everything in the Black Prophecy is inevitable? That's the case. So what's the point of what they're doing?
At this time, everyone had already come to the end of the tunnel. The man at the head pushed open the dusty wooden door, and then rushed forward with an arrow, he raised his sword and watched warily. Several other private soldiers, including the paladins, also swarmed up, forming a defensive formation to block the outside, followed by the nobles and their retinue. They came out of the tunnel, trembling, and turned their heads to look around.
The whole room was dim, and it was vaguely clear that this should be a secret room, and there was a quiet area around it, and nothing could be heard except for the breathing of everyone. A few of the attendants raised their torches and looked out. Under the light of the torches, you can see that the corridor is full of chaos. The artworks that had been placed in the hallway were now lying on the ground, and most of them had broken into pieces. Blood smeared on the walls, and a dark red, pitch-black color emerged in the light of the fire. Like a demon's smile, it makes people feel frightened.
"Walk through this hallway, then turn the hall and you'll get to where the teleportation circle is."
The paladin standing beside the middle-aged man was obviously quite familiar with this place, he just raised his long sword, gestured left and right, and quickly explained their destination to everyone.
"That teleportation circle was set up by the city lord himself, and it can be activated by entering magic power. Then it will teleport you to Pister -- and now we can only hope that there is no other place to be, and there is nothing else we can do. ”
Saying this, the paladin shook his head helplessly. After all, he was born and raised in this city, and now, watching the city fall into the abyss of death without warning makes him quite heartbroken. In fact, no one knows why this is happening, who is attacking them, and why the world is like this, but now, they have no choice.
The castle lord's mansion was empty, and the sound of people's running footsteps echoed in the empty halls and corridors. If it were a normal day, they would still worry about whether it would attract those terrible monsters. But now that they don't care about that, the Windy City has fallen, and there's no point in hiding their whereabouts. The only thing they can do now is to move forward in a race against time, as long as they can get to the location of the teleportation circle and get out of here, then there is still hope.
Although this hope is so slim, at least it is better than nothing.
"Right ahead!!"
The group turned the corner again, and a half-hidden gate appeared in front of them. This is the teleportation between teleportations where the teleportation circle is located. And when they saw the gate in front of them, everyone's eyes showed a sparkle of hope. Just enter the teleportation room and activate the teleportation circle. They'll be able to get out of here!
"Boom!!"
The two paladins at the head almost smashed headlong through the half-hidden door, and then they quickly came to the teleportation circle. Several other paladins and black swordsmen quickly raised their swords. Point out the door. Prepare for a possible attack by those monsters. Immediately after that, the nobles hurried to the teleportation circle under their escort. Looking at the teleportation circle that was intact under the light of the fire, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Locke, please."
It was only at this time that the young nobleman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the old man beside him with a respectful expression. Hearing what he said, the old man also nodded. Then he took out a staff from his robe, and whispered a chant aimed at the teleportation circle in front of him, and soon, the brilliance of magic appeared on the edge of the teleportation circle one by one. It didn't take long for it to connect into a piece of pure light. At this moment, almost everyone turned their heads to look at the teleportation circle in front of them. It was the only light in the darkness and their only hope.
And under their gaze, the brilliance of the circle became more and more dazzling and bright. But at this moment, suddenly the old mage's expression changed.
"How can this be, this is not right, this ............ Be careful!! Get out of the way!! ”
The old mage's voice did not fall, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the next moment. The surging magic power exploded in this way, and the people who couldn't dodge it were suddenly overturned by the explosion of qi. The glowing magical light wandered in all directions, illuminating the entire teleportation room incomparably brightly, but at this moment, everyone's faces turned pale. They lay on the ground, looking at the broken teleportation circle in front of them, and their hearts were like ashes for a while. They finally got here. Could this be the end?
And at this very time. Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside without warning.
"How? Everybody. Are you satisfied with the end of the drama I have prepared? ”
With this voice, Jenn smiled and walked slowly into the teleportation room. He narrowed his eyes, and a cold, cruel cold light flashed through them.
Behind Jenn, countless Chaos Monsters were gradually emerging from the darkness.
"You...... You ..............."
Seeing Jenn's appearance, everyone's faces changed drastically. The power of this black-robed mage was so powerful that they had seen it with their own eyes. But what they didn't expect was that the other party was able to see through their disguise, so they came here to block their last way. Now that the teleportation circle is completely finished, the only thing they can do seems to be to tie their hands down.
However, no one will stop here. Soon, the warriors, led by the Black Swordsman, raised their weapons and stood in front of the others. They raised their swords straight and pointed them at Jenn in front of them.
That's a lot of fun.
Seeing this, Jenn raised an eyebrow. The other party's reaction only deepened his suspicions, which is why Jenn wanted to play this play. If the other party is just trying to escape for their lives, then they will definitely collapse completely after seeing their last hope destroyed in front of them. But these people did not collapse, whether it was the warriors in front of them, or the nobles and retinues in the back, on the contrary, they looked resolute, as if they had a clear goal and faith, and were willing to die for it.
Thinking of this, Jenn snorted softly, and then set his eyes on the huge iron box that the young nobleman was holding in his arms. From the outside, it's more like a big, thick book. But Jenn knew that this thing was not simple, otherwise, they would not have died and held on. However, Jenn didn't know what it was, and he tried to use the Evil Eye to investigate, but he couldn't sense anything. This means that it has a strong seal on it, obscuring all peeps.
What's that?
But it's useless to think about it now, just kill these guys, and then everything here will be his.
Thinking of this, Jenn sneered, and then snapped his fingers.
Immediately after, the Chaos Monsters let out a frantic roar and swarmed in. (To be continued......)
