Chapter 176: The Sinner's Prison

"Master, is this really okay? Will they really be able to wipe out the remaining nobles in the Golden City? ”

Looking at the fog-shrouded town outside, Elise blinked curiously and asked.

It's no wonder she has such a question, the thirteen people brought by Jen have no combat power at all in Elise's opinion, she didn't feel any fluctuations in power from those thirteen people, if it wasn't for Jenn's introduction, I'm afraid Elise would still think that Jenn was an ordinary person from somewhere. The strangest thing about these guys is that they formed a circle in the square after they came here, and then muttered something to themselves, and then the whole thing disappeared, only the robes that had wrapped their bodies before lost their support and fell to the ground, as if they had completely "melted".

Then the fog began to spread gradually throughout the Golden City, and until now, the fog had been spreading steadily in all directions for several hours, enveloping the entire Golden City in it. But Elise still didn't see anything strange about the mist, they were just mist, and the "snow" behind it was quite noticeable, but it wasn't something poisonous or cursed. This made Elise think that the only thing the people could do when they came out was probably to make a fog. Not only that, but what puzzled Elise was that Jenn not only withdrew the aliens, but even asked Enoa to withdraw the undead creatures from the mines, giving up the entire Golden City. This made her even more confused.

"Don't worry, Elise. Trust me, absolutely no problem. Other than that. Those weren't him, and they weren't her. It's it. Or rather, it doesn't matter, it's not a mortal thing, you'll soon see what I mean. ”

Hearing Elise's uneasy inquiry, Jenn smiled and shook his head. It is true that the fog that envelops the city at the moment is only a little annoying at best, but Jenn knows very well how powerful the card is in his hand.

[Cultists].

Even if you look at the entire dungeon system. The Cultist is also in the top three in terms of value for money among all units, and it is not as powerful as Diablo, but no one would dare to underestimate this combat unit. In fact, the Cultists are not even human, and if you look closely, you will find that there is no unit behind their number of individuals, only a simple number [13], which marks the thirteen nodes of the Cultists, and when these thirteen nodes are fully unfolded, the Cultists will reveal their hideous faces.

[Double World].

Plainly. In fact, [Cultist] is an enchantment unit, and after the player unfolds [Cultist], it is equivalent to releasing a fixed enchantment unit for area defense. And the barrier itself is the [Double World], and all those who enter this barrier. will be mentally suppressed, and there is a certain chance of attaching to the "fear" effect. Not only that, but the monsters in the [Double World] do not need to be configured by the player. Rather, it is the product of the Double World itself to find out the greatest spiritual weaknesses and fears in the minds of those who enter, and then manifest them.

And that's not all. The most insidious thing about this barrier is that with every death of a person, its power increases. And those embodied monsters will become more powerful. Moreover, its characteristic is [cannot be lifted], which means that neither magic nor magic can disarm this enchantment. And no matter how powerful you are, if you can't face the deepest evil and fear in your heart, you will end up dead. Not only that, but when a group of units completely dies in the enchantment, the power of the [Double World] will increase by a notch overall. The next time a group of people comes in, they will face monsters that are even more powerful than before. This is simply a vicious circle that cannot be broken, and in fact, in the game, the player who first got the [Cultist] unit has continuously killed groups of adventurers who tried to invade the dungeon, and even the legendary adventurer squad with a four-star rating has a history of falling into the [Double World] and being killed directly. This shows how powerful and terrible this unit is.

But all things have weaknesses, and the Cultist is no exception, and although it cannot be destroyed, its characteristics as a rule enchantment still exist. [Double World] is a labyrinth of the mind, and the labyrinth naturally has entrances and exits, which the player cannot change. Just as in every knight novel, the protagonist can always break through from the demon king's heavy army, as long as the spiritual will is strong enough, once he overcomes his inner weakness, then he may escape the labyrinth. This is the "setting" of the maze, and the player can only pinch his nose to recognize it.

However, this is not really a fatal weakness, because the player can completely deploy an army outside the enchantment and completely kill the "protagonists" who have the ability to get out of the enchantment. This is not a game.,After fighting the final boss, you can go home with a beautiful woman and live a happy life.,Players are the most shameless group in the world.,Of course, they won't look at each other differently because someone can break through the [double world], on the contrary, the possibility of direct erasure is higher. After all, it is the protagonist's life that can break through the [Double World], what if he lets go this time and brings a group of more powerful ones next time?

In addition, the second weakness is that although the [Cultist] unit can absorb the soul power of the war dead to continuously snowball to enhance itself and create more powerful spiritual monsters. But after all, it was still a combat unit attached to the dungeon, and Jenn had to spend 500 resources each month -- a total of 2,000 resources to maintain its existence. If the resources are insufficient, or if the heart of the dungeon is breached, then the [cultists] will naturally be finished.

And other than that, it's almost invincible.

So Jenn is not worried at all, [Double World] is a projection of the spirit, reflecting the darkness of reality. Even the legendary powerhouses can't escape the fear of the past in their hearts, in fact, the fog now has no action but is searching for the spiritual gap deep in everyone's hearts. Once they catch the darkness and fear that lies deep in their depths, the Twin Worlds will activate immediately.

"Bell......... Clang......... Bell ..............."

And at this very time. The heavy bell rang, and the bell was heard. Jenn raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes.

It seems that the Cultists have found its prey.

"It's ..............."

Elise and Enoa turned to look at Jenn at the same time, and all they could see was Jenn still sitting in his chair, holding up a finger and looking at them with a mysterious smile. Soon, with the sound of the bell, the surrounding light suddenly began to dim. Immediately afterward, the darkness that could not be seen was enveloped for a while.

What's going on here?

The moment he was shrouded in darkness, Archmage Sharon immediately released a magical ball of light, illuminating the darkness in front of him. Then they were horrified to find that as the darkness deepened, everything seemed to begin to change. Cracks began to appear in both the walls and the floor, and then their skins were torn off by an invisible force like bloody human skin, spinning and flying into the air. Behind those walls, a completely different landscape emerges. It's just a blink of an eye. Before Sharon could finish singing about his guardian magic, the whole world was already changing in an instant.

A bright red, gloomy faint light re-emerged. The world is dark. But what was unfolding in front of everyone at this moment was no longer the aristocratic manor area they were familiar with before, but a weird. A place full of blood and death. The walls had been a mixture of rusty iron and stone, littered with tattered marks and dark red blood. Even the ground is covered with large patches of sticky blood, which makes the whole place look more like a bloody slaughterhouse. and not a residential area for the upper classes.

As for what is the slaughterhouse......... Needless to say.

"It's ..............."

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Ecovacs and Sharon, changed their faces, although they didn't know what was happening at the moment, but it was certain that this was definitely not a good thing.

"It's an enchantment!!"

As a legendary mage, Sharon is worthy of his name, and he can see the truth of this strange scene in front of him at a glance.

"Enchantment?"

Hearing this, Ecovacs turned his head and glanced at Sharon.

"Is there a way to crack it?"

"It's hard to say, I don't even know how this barrier works......... Any enchantment has nodes, but I'm not a mage of prophecy, so I'm afraid it's hard to ................"

"Less nonsense, can it be cracked or not?"

Ecovacs interrupted Sharon's somewhat cumbersome self-justification, and to be honest, he was starting to get a little tired of the guy by now. In the face of Ecovacs's inquiry, Sharon was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Can't ..............."

"Idiot!!"

Looking at Sharon's shameless appearance, Ecovacs also secretly scolded himself, how can other archmages be so shameless, they are also legendary mages, can you say something useful for your own face?

"So what are we going to do?"

"The power of the enchantment is not infinite, I think we just need to concentrate on defense and hold on until the power of the enchantment is over. I didn't feel the elemental fluctuations before, it was supposed to be a temporary enchantment, and I don't think it would last long. ”

"I hope so............"

Ecovacs sighed, he had always felt that things were not that simple, but now, he didn't seem to be able to think of a good way.

And at this moment, the darkness began to fluctuate.

"Be careful!!"

The ground began to tumble like boiling water, and then everyone was horrified to see countless black insects tumbling out of the corners of the walls, rising upwards like fountains, and then crawling down the ground as quickly as possible. Then I saw those insects spread their wings and pounce on everyone like an overwhelming black torrent.

"Whoaaa The soldiers at the head were caught off guard and pounced on by those insects, and immediately screamed. They waved their hands desperately and slapped the black bugs. But they didn't expect these insects to be so powerful, the hard armor made of steel was as fragile as paper skin in their eyes, and they saw those insects almost half the size of a palm waving their forelimbs to tear open the armor, and then burrow into it like this. Then I saw the soldiers start to scream frantically, they hurriedly took off their armor, only to see a series of creepy protrusions under their skin kept wandering, more and more, gradually converging upwards. The soldiers could only scream and watch in despair until the bugs finally converged on their brains.

"Poof!"

Blood splattered, and the next moment the soldiers' brains exploded, scattering in all directions with fragments of brains and bones. The bugs flew out of the blood and pounced forward again.

"Tempest, turn into a shield!!"

At this moment, Archmage Sharon finally showed the demeanor of a legendary mage, and in the face of the overwhelming insects, he raised the staff of the black gem in his hand and shouted loudly. Immediately afterwards, I saw that under the attraction of magic power, the air began to flow, and in the blink of an eye, a huge tornado formed around the remaining people, blocking the attack of those pitch-black bugs. The furious wind tore through the bodies of the bugs, crushing them to pieces.

But that's not the end.

The shredded insects turned into a little bit of pitch black, and quickly retreated like water droplets, and then they fused together again, and soon formed a new monster.

Seeing this scene, Ecovacs and others were also secretly shocked.

What the hell is this?! (To be continued......)
