Chapter 720: The Vortex (VIII)
"Help? Am I not helping? β
Once again, a round of artillery fire poured down, and as she watched with satisfaction the mutant birds in front of her turn to ashes, Patilina replied without looking back. I saw the little guy's left hand take the time to pull the side of the silver spear, and the next moment I saw a smoking round iron bucket jump out of the smooth and neat back of the spear, and then the part that had been pulled apart was closed again, making a dull metal collision sound. And with Patilina's movements, another ball of flame erupted, exploding in the flock of strange birds.
On the face of it, Patilina is indeed dutiful. But Ellie knew very well that the little one was simply lazy. Unbeknownst to the others, she had seen Patilina's power firsthand in the Black Sword Fortress, and that powerful and terrifying force would not be a problem to knock down a heavily armed fortress. Dealing with these mutant crows in front of her is not even more difficult for Patilina.
However, Ellie also understands that it will not be easy to convince Patilina to make a move. In her interactions with the little one, she has noticed that Patilina is a very casual and uninhibited person. To put it bluntly, she does things completely according to her own mood, and she will use her strength when she is in a good mood or a bad mood. In addition, Patilina is basically messing around, and those big truths are useless to Patilina. If you want to convince her, you can't just follow the normal process.
Fortunately, these days, Ellie and Patilina have not been together for nothing.
"We can't defeat these monsters with our strength alone, we need your help. Miss Patilina! β
Sighing helplessly, Ellie replied again. Although the name of the Son of the Nine Saints sounds loud. But in fact, there are only three people who have really reached the legendary realm, including Ellie, and the other few people are also quite strong. But at the moment, there is some power. In fact, according to the normal RPG strategy process, the brave should first kill the wild dogs and then cut the zombies, and then find a group of bandits to practice and upgrade, and then go to tinker with the cultists, and only after accumulating experience can they be qualified to fight against the high-level evil forces behind the cultists. Wait until you have defeated these demon kings' dog legs with great difficulty, and then you can gather a wave of equipment and props before you can be ready to fight the demon king head-on.
And now among the sons of the Nine Sages, most of them are still at the level of making up cultists, and even those demon king's subordinates behind the cultists may not have done it. This is also the reason why the Templar Order will protect the children of the Nine Saints with great fanfare, after all, these people have extraordinary status, as long as they are given enough experience. Coupled with the bonus of the bloodline in the body, it should be able to increase the experience in a short period of time to reach the level required for the Raiders Legendary Dungeon.
But it's a pity that no matter how strong the bloodline is, it takes time to level up after all, and you just have a buff that doubles the experience value, so you have to obediently go to the dungeon to farm monsters, instead of running directly to fight the demon king.
And if you die on the way to brush up on the copy, it's really wronged.
Therefore, at this moment, Ellie's eyes looking at Patilina were like the sprouts of a new person begging for a thigh brush at the door of the blood-colored monastery, full of sincere and warm emotions. She knows very well that it doesn't matter what she is. Neither Viconia nor the Naga Priest are suitable for a large-scale AOE, and of course, if these mutated ravens are undead, then now is the time for Ellie to show her might. But alas. These mutated ravens may look as disgusting as the undead, but they are indeed alive. Because of this, those paladins can't exert their power 100%. You can only hold a crossbow and fight the monsters hovering in the sky in agony.
The elf princess was obviously not satisfied with Ellie's approach. But she only frowned and didn't say much. In terms of the elves' peaceful temperament. I don't like the existence of Patilina's personality by nature. Not to mention that she also set fire to the forest and lacked respect for other people. Basically, calling others "this idiot" and "that idiot" is obviously not an appropriate title for the elf princess. Not to mention that she had been unabashedly ridiculed by Patilina on the issue of separation zone and disposing of corpses, so Viconia had a very poor sense of Patilina. But even so, she didn't stop Ellie from asking Patilina for helpβββ as Ellie said, it was too much for them to do it alone.
"What a waste, so you can't do it?"
Sure enough, hearing Ellie's words, Pattilina pursed her lips and then she looked at Irinster not far away.
"Can you still hold on? Erinster? β
"I, I can continue to work hard!! Miss Patilina!! β
Hearing Patilina's inquiry, Elester, who was sweating profusely and pale, also gritted her teeth, and then replied. And not far from her, at this moment, Lindy was also waving the long side of her hand quickly, whipping at the monsters who were trying to break through the barrier not far away. However, unlike the other people who were panting next to him, this little guy became more energetic the more he fought, and he looked quite weird.
And after receiving Elinster's answer, Pattilina didn't say anything more, just shrugged her shoulders.
"Look at you, Irinster can still hold on, what are you anxious about? Are you not as good as Irnest? β
"But we're in a bad situation right now!!"
Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but laugh, and she finally understood that the reason why Patilina kept not doing it was because she gave Irest a chance to exercise. It's just that this opportunity is too exaggerated, do you want to bring so many of us in? Of course, then again, if everyone can really settle down, then it is not impossible to completely destroy these monsters. But the problem is that these monsters are not the bottom bosses, and they are only gatekeepers at best. If there is too much to lose here, then how can they meet the final boss in full condition?
Open the door to persuade this kind of thing, whether it is in the game or in the real world, it is to be avoided as much as possible. To say that Ellie or Viconia don't have some hole cards is absolutely impossible. But just for the sake of such a group of mutant crows, they have to burn life and explode the small universe? That's a bit of a loss, isn't it...............
"And our goal is to completely eradicate the revitalized forest, in case it runs away........."
"Hmm......... That's a problem. β
This time, Patilina listened to Ellie's words, and the little one squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then clapped his hands suddenly.
"Okay, leave it to me!!"
As Patilina spoke, the atmosphere around her changed instantly. I saw that behind the little guy, the cannon barrel that was originally suspended in the void suddenly retracted, and then, a pitch-black gap slowly cracked, as if a picture scroll had been torn apart, revealing the pitch-black canvas behind it. The wind began to howl, and the invisible pressure instantly exploded, sweeping the audience.
"Quack............ Quack............!! β
At this moment, the mutant crows also seemed to sense the danger, and for the first time, they chose to retreat, trying to leave the chaotic battlefield. But Patilina didn't give the fellows a chance to reflect, instead, she just sneered and stared ahead, then stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.
The next moment, I saw that in the black gap, dozens of dazzling flashes suddenly appeared. Seeing these lights, Ellie felt a little familiar inexplicably, as if she had seen them somewhere...............
And the next moment, a torrent of light burst out of the crack, roaring and rushing forward.
Huge beams of light, tens of meters thick, converged into a river of light, and they rushed out of the darkness mercilessly mixed with the wind, gravel, dust, and fragments of corpses, and looked from afar, as if even the heavens and the earth were obscured by it.
The light flows forward, and then forward.
The flock of mutant birds that had plagued everyone before was like a stain, completely annihilated under the violent beam bombardment. The powerful and rushing energy aggregate completely disintegrated the target in front of him in an instant. Whether dead or alive, organic or inorganic, they all have only one fate, that is, they are completely wiped out, leaving no trace.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. The flock of mutant birds that had surrounded everyone before had died in an instant under the bombardment of the beam, and the remaining flock of mutant birds seemed to have finally tasted the taste of fear, or the manipulator behind them had a new idea, only to see that these flocks of mutant birds quickly withdrew almost without hesitation and flew into the distance.
But the next moment, the situation changed.
βββββββοΌοΌβ
Suddenly, not far in front of everyone, a dark and strange pitch-black barrier suddenly appeared, stubbornly resisting the further attack of the beam shelling. I saw that the beams of light burst out uninterrupted ripples on the pitch-black barrier, but in the end, they disappeared into the darkness without a trace, and there was no longer the slightest reaction.
"It's ......... Dark Canopy!! β
Seeing this scene, Ellie was shocked in her heart, the dark canopy is one of the most powerful protective spells of the undead, she didn't expect to see the appearance of the dark canopy in this place. Although everyone had suspected that the mastermind behind the spread of the plague might be undead, it seems that it is ......... Their guess seems to be correct?
And soon, Ellie's question was answered.
As the dust cleared, the dark canopy flickered a few times before quietly disappearing. And knowing this time, everyone found that on the hillside in front of them, I don't know when a team of heavily armed men and horses appeared. At the head was a knight in pitch-black armor, and not far from his side, thousands of necromantic warriors lined up, just staring at them coldly.
"Death Knight ..............."
Muttering to herself, Ellie clenched the scepter in her hand.
It seems that his guess was correct.
All this, sure enough, there are undead behind the funny!! (To be continued.) )
