Chapter 139: The Eroder (Part II)
Bright red flames roared forward, reducing the remnants of those who tried to get close to ashes. Thor shouted angrily and waved the bright red sword in his hand, slashing the remnants of the people who crawled from the wall of fire with both hands and feet, Rao was like this, or made the half-demon captain feel a cold sweat behind his back, because he found that the guy who was slashed diagonally from his shoulder to chest actually turned his neck at a ninety degree angle, shook his head from side to side like some kind of bug, and climbed upside down!
This guy is human, right? This guy is human, right?
The moment he saw this scene, Thor felt that his hair was upside down, even if he had the blood of an ordinary devil, although he had seen a lot of weird and cruel things, but the situation in front of him could no longer be explained by weirdness and cruelty, this was clearly an anomaly!
The existence of violating common sense, violating rules and order, is disgusting and hateful.
"Boom!!"
But before the remnant could get up and do something to Thor again, a fireball flew from the side and exploded on the enemy's body, and then a strong storm tore through the remnant in front of him, engulfing him completely. Bi Lanxin, who had been standing silently beside him, reached out and stroked the big book beside him, and his two half-open eyes stared straight at the countless small fireballs suspended on the ceiling above his head as if he were in a trance......... In the next moment, Bi Lanxin stretched out his right index finger, gently swiped on it, and then slammed it, and with the girl's movements, several high-temperature burning flame balls suddenly appeared in the air, and then smashed forward. Knock away the remnants of the people who climbed up from the other side.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
A dull explosion sounded, and the ground began to tremble slightly, and the dust in the cold, slippery room continued to fall down, and even slight cracks appeared in the walls. But the old man sitting in the room did not change in the slightest, he just squinted his eyes and leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile. It's as if you're enjoying some beautiful music. The old man let out a long breath, then closed his eyes as if he were about to enter a beautiful dream.
"If it's really as you say, then let me, an old man, be embarrassed to use your strength."
That old bastard!!
Rhodes dodged sideways, and then a fist made entirely of crystals smashed his body to the ground. Although he completely dodged, Rhodes was not at all at ease, because the moment the fist hit the ground, the crystals that originally formed his body suddenly began to shoot out in all directions. Dozens of sharp crystal shards passed through Rhodes' body, but they were not able to tear through the flesh or kill the target in front of him. On the contrary, Rod's figure suddenly trembled at this time, and then disappeared completely.
It's just terrible.
Rod's form quietly emerged from the shadows behind the stone pillar, and at this moment he had withdrawn all the summons he had brought before, even Celia and Celestina had regained their card form. Because the monster in front of him is not something that Rhodes can deal with with the Phantom Sword. Now that Greysil and Madaras are outside, there are only two Holy Sword cards in his hands that can be used and can attack this monster.
Anne, on the other hand, had already taken the doorstone back to the entrance of the passage. But the girl did not leave immediately, but once again cast the Order Guardian Barrier to seal the exit of the passage according to Rod's order. This is to avoid the monster attacking Rhodes and not going out of trouble to find others, anyway, in this case, Rod and this monster still have the power to fight, but if you go outside............... Damn it. The situation out there is not much better!
Thinking of the previous report of the Seven Loves, Rod couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, sure enough, the ginger was still old and spicy, and the elder was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. To be honest, after seeing this monster in front of me. Rod didn't even have the strength to sigh.
Chaos Crystal.
In the Land of Chaos, everyone will encounter a variety of Chaos monsters, ranging from the existence of completely reassembled by the rules of broken creatures, to the monsters and bosses that are generated after the rules are tainted by Chaos. The Door Stone Boss belongs to the latter, but if you want to say that the most annoying monster in the Vault Dungeon, it is definitely not the Door Stone Boss, but the Chaos Crystal Monster.
Because it is formed by the chaos that pollutes the central nervous system.
A shelter like this, which can resist the erosion of chaos, is also a kind of magical architecture in a way. And the magic building naturally has a core, if the doorstone is the antivirus software of the operating system, then the central crystal is the operating system itself. It is tasked with resisting chaos and maintaining order within the vault. In other words, the water, fire, air, gravity, and food, all of which can be maintained in this shelter, are completely dependent on the central crystal.
However, as the core of the Vault, it is polluted by Chaos.
Rhodes didn't understand why it was supposed to be closed in the depths of the shelter and should have been guarded by a special person, and the central crystal that should have been guarded by a special person would be placed here together with the door stone, but as long as you look at the central crystal that has been completely assimilated, you can know that this thing has been eroded by chaos for more than a day or two, so those remnants outside naturally immediately entered Rhodes's consideration——— the central crystals that have been eroded by chaos, and the remnants who have lived in the Dao for many years under the influence of the central crystals that have been eroded by chaos.
They are no longer human, and in Rhodes' experience, I am afraid that they have become slaves ——— eroders of chaos from beginning to end. And then the response from the Seven Loves also completely verified Rod's point of view, although he did feel a faint sense of discomfort after entering the shelter, but he didn't expect this feeling of discomfort to be so deep-rooted, I'm afraid it has completely reached the point of merging with the soul. As Seven Love said, after confirming that the inhabitants of the Vault were nothing more than a group of Eroders, their names instantly turned from green to red in Rhodes' eyes, and the so-called red names were all strange and meaningless existences other than to accumulate experience points and prestige. So Rod did not hesitate to give the order to exterminate.
It's just that I didn't expect that the girl sent by the other party would actually help me......... It seems that the old guy really had a guard against this. Even if ordinary people have no way to resist the erosion of chaos, it is impossible for a strong person who has awakened the legendary realm to have no power to resist at all. Is that one of the reasons why they had to unleash their legendary aura in the room before?
Never mind. Let's get this thing done first.
Rod retracted his thoughts and hid behind the broken stone pillar, only to see that the Chaos Crystal Monster that missed a blow had slowly raised his head and looked around, like most Chaos creatures, the particularity of the Chaos Boss would be suppressed under the suppression of order. Therefore, it is more dependent on its own strength to cause damage. It's the same with the current Chaos Crystal Monsters. Its defense level is the same as that of a level 70 boss, and its attack power is also at the level of a level 65 boss. The overall level is about 68 to 70. And he can shoot scattered bombs everywhere in every 180 degrees without dead angles, and what's worse is that those rubble that looks like scattered bullets contain the power of chaos, in case he is accidentally hit——— Rhodes can only pray that Celia's purification level is as high as that of Little Bubblegum.
Of course, Anne doesn't need to think about this problem, the King's Guardian is immune to all chaotic attacks, plus the protection of the Adamantite Heavy Shield, she just needs to seal the exit of the passage.
"Roaring ....................."
After confirming that Rod had not been found, the Chaos Crystal Monster immediately raised its legs and walked in Annie's direction. In the face of the arrival of the Chaos Crystal Monster, Anne still held the pure gold heavy shield in her hand tightly, the body that was three or four meters tall and almost level with the ceiling, but there was no tension and fear in her eyes, on the contrary, her eyes were full of excitement and unprecedented calmness. Because Rhodes had already told her that her next task was to ..................
"As an MT. It's a duty to pull the boss well. ”
"Woooooo
Seeing Anne standing in front of him, the Chaos Crystal let out an angry roar. Then it raised its fist high, and then slammed it into the heavy gold shield in front of Anne.
"Knock !!"
Although the chaotic force was shielded from the outside, the powerful impact force did not diminish in the slightest, and in the face of this incomparably powerful force, even Anne had to take two steps back, and the barriers of order around her were pressed down towards the walls on both sides of the passage. Soon, I saw that many cracks appeared in the already dilapidated walls. And Anne's body also formed a solid stone armor at this time, and it covered the girl's body in this way. Soon, however, under the action of the strong shock wave, the hard outer stone protection also began to shatter, and then fell to the ground.
"That's amazing."
Anne, who had been hit by the blow, shook. Then he pouted. The strength of the other party is really stronger than he thought, and even the two hands have vaguely felt a little paralyzed, but this makes the girl more and more excited, it has been a long time since she has encountered such an enemy! Thinking of this, Anne hurriedly stretched out her left hand, and even ignored the still numb touch on it, she tightly grasped a handle inside the Adamantite Heavy Shield, and then twisted it hard to the side!
"Click!!"
With the sound of the machine, I saw that the front of the pure gold heavy shield suddenly turned, revealing several gaps, and then chains flew out of it, and tied to the body of the Chaos Crystal Monster in front of him. Immediately afterward, Anne grabbed the heavy shield of adamantite gold and held it high.
"Drink————!!"
"Boom !!"
With Annie's movements, the Chaos Crystal Monster, whose limbs were bound by chains, was actually pulled and hit the wall directly, although Annie's strength was not enough to cause enough damage to the Chaos Crystal Monster, but just this moment was enough to make the Chaos Crystal Monster dizzy. Seeing this scene, Anne suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Captain, Anne did it! Annie has pulled the boss! ”
I'm not telling you to pull like that............ Forget it, it doesn't matter as long as the result is the same!
Although deep down he spit out a small spurt about Annie's understanding deviation, Rod had to admit that Annie was really born MT, and she was able to pull so steadily even after more than ten levels of difference! This is really not something that ordinary aborigines can do, but for Rod, now is the best opportunity!
The black shadow flashed, and Rhodes held the star mark in his hand tightly with both hands. The bright and dazzling silver-white light flashed instantly, and he quietly stared at the Chaos Crystal Monster in front of him, and at this time, the Chaos Crystal Monster also seemed to sense Rod's attack, it turned around, looked at Rod, and let out a muffled roar. Immediately after, the body that had been condensed by crystals began to shimmer with different brilliance.
It was a sign of danger, but Rhodes didn't care, he just quietly stared at the monster in front of him and a system prompt that appeared in front of him.
[Talent Trait: Self-Affirmation (LV1) Activation]
【Please specify the level of enhanced attributes】
Penetrating ———— change 800!
[Attribute enhancement completed, attack penetration changed to 1250]
A sword swing is improper.
In this way, the silvery-white, soft light and shadow completely pierced the sturdy body that was so hard that even magic could not penetrate it, and it was like cream cut by a dinner knife. But that was just the beginning, as the sword in Rhodes' hand was raised high again after a gentle slash, and then swung diagonally to the side.
"Whoa————!!
[Gain experience 450,000, level up, (LV62)]
[Gain 2 skill points, 4 available skill points]
Strengthened to a maximum of 85 levels of penetration, unless the opponent has strong defense, even if there is not enough power, it is enough to inflict a one-hit kill on it. This is really a bug skill............... Fortunately, I didn't use it when dealing with the door stone boss before. Otherwise, it's a real problem. In an instant, the cap was raised to level eighty-five, and it was the penetration of the amount of attribute power of all the top equipment at that time. It really doesn't take much effort to deal with a boss who is only less than level 70.
Standing up, Rhodes looked at the monster in front of him that had fallen to the ground in pieces with complicated eyes, and then shook his head. Then he walked over to the monster, stretched out his hand, and took out a gem of shimmering color from it, and held it in his hand. And by this time, Anne had already disarmed her defenses. Carrying a heavy shield of pure gold, he came to Rod's side.
"Got it? Head? ”
"That's it, let's go."
Rod said, glancing at the trembling shelter in front of him, and could faintly hear the dull sound of explosions from time to time at the end of the passage, but Rod knew it. It wasn't caused by an explosion, or rather, it wasn't just an explosion.
"It's ....................."
Joey put down the blood-stained dagger in surprise, and stared blankly at the unimaginable scene in front of him, but for a moment, the remnants who had been frantically attacking them just now just held their heads and began to scream, as if they had lost something, and the remnants who had rushed to everyone's side crashed into the burning wall like moths to the flames, and then screamed and died. The remnants who weren't scorched by the flames either jumped off the platform screaming, or simply fell to the ground and never came to a sound again.
"It's ............ What's going on? ”
Seeing that the enemies were destroying themselves, and the others also stopped their movements, Marlene and Lijie looked at all this in front of them with complicated expressions, and Seven Love stood by with a smug smile, and Bilan's heart returned to its original lethargic state after the battle. The others, including Thor and Soth, were now treating their injuries, and although the strength of the remnants was not worth mentioning, the numerical advantage was still annoying at times.
"Da............ Da ............"
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the passage behind them, and when they heard the footsteps, everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked behind. Soon, I saw Anne, triumphantly carrying a shield, and Rhodes, with a gloomy face, walking out of it. Anne was obviously startled by the scene in front of her, but she was not as excited as Marlene and Lijie, she just blinked her emerald green eyes, and then stood next to her and stopped talking. At this time, Marlene and Lijie hurriedly stepped forward, they had already learned from Qilian that the order to attack the shelter was given by Rhodes, although those remnants looked abnormal, but before that, they were the ones who attacked first, didn't they?
"Rod, what the hell is going on?"
"Mr. Rhodes, what's going on?"
Although the two of them asked very tactfully, Rhodes certainly understood what they were thinking. Because he had already noticed that the others were also looking at Rhodes suspiciously at the moment, including Thor and other half-demon descendants, but this question ...............
"Rather than having me answer, why don't you let the guy who used us as gunmen explain it himself? Elder? ”
Rod snorted coldly and stared ahead. And with him spoke. Seven Love waved his hand slightly, and soon, the bright red flames that were originally burning everywhere disappeared in an instant, and returned to the body of the Fire Elemental Lord. And at this moment, an old figure appeared there.
"Hehehe, I really didn't expect that, young man, you really did it. To be honest, I thought you were just bluffing. ”
"Because you can't do it. So it's up to me, okay, I have to admit that I misjudged this time. ”
Looking at the old man in front of him, Rod raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly. It's just that compared to just now, the resentment in his mouth is not so big now.
"What the hell is this ..............."
"Hehehe, as you can see, this young lady."
Facing Lijie's doubts. The old man laughed.
"To tell you the truth, I wanted to kill them all a long time ago. And completely destroy this place, but unfortunately, just me and her, I can't do it..............." Saying this, the old man looked at the girl who was standing silently next to the platform with a soft gaze, and had not spoken. At this moment, the white rag on her body was already red with blood. You can't see the original color at all.
"For what? What the hell are you ..............., sir?"
Hearing the old man's answer, Lijie's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't believe that she would hear such an answer.
"Because............ They have lost the meaning of existence, this young lady. ”
And this time. The old man's face suddenly became serious, and he even saluted respectfully to the people in front of him.
"I'm so grateful to all of you, if it weren't for you, they would still be hovering in chaos, and I, with all that I can do, sad and helpless, can only watch this come to an infinite end. But now, that terrible future has been destroyed by you, and they have escaped the grip of chaos and returned to the embrace of the Light of Order............... Ahem..............."
"I still don't understand........."
"Leave it to me, it seems that this old man is really about to say more nonsense."
Rhodes interrupted Lizzie's question, and he quickly recounted to the crowd what he had encountered inside and the relationship between the Doorstone, the Nexus Crystal, and the Vault. After listening to Rod's story, everyone understood why this shelter seemed abnormal.
"I'm right, Elder."
"Yes, that's it."
The old man did not refute Rod's statement, but nodded. However, it is clear that not everyone is able to accept this statement.
"But, but............... Didn't you trade with us several times? Didn't you buy a lot of water and food from us, isn't it for the sake of these people of the Vault? If you really want to kill them, why ............... for anything?"
"It's simple, young lady."
The old man glanced at Lijie, who was pale.
"They have been corrupted by chaos, and if there is not enough food, they will go completely insane, and by that time, this place will become a man-eating hell. Yes, I want them to die, but I would rather kill them with my own hands than let them fall into the abyss of madness, from which eternal suffering will not save them. Anyway............ They are also my people, and if they are not given food, then ............... I won't live until now, I'm afraid I'll be eaten by them. ”
“……………………………”
Ignoring the pale-faced Lijie, the old man turned to Rod.
"Hehehe, I can see you have a big opinion of me, young man, but you can't blame me, who told me that you could destroy this shelter yourself. If you can do it, then it's a relief for me, isn't it? Now it seems that I did not believe the wrong person, and you did walk the talk. ”
"So, now that I've completed the commission..............."
Hearing the old man's answer, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and then began to confirm another thing with the old man like a mercenary.
"Well, I guess I should get paid."
"Of course, since you have completed my commission, then I will naturally pay you."
As he spoke, the old man turned to the girl, then made a gesture and shouted in a low voice.
“Soctire!”
“————!!”
With the call of the old man, I saw the girl suddenly raise her head, and then, on her petite, white cloth-wrapped body, a soft light appeared, and these white lights finally turned into illusory lines, wrapped around the girl's side. Seeing this scene, Rod's eyes changed slightly.
The people in this shelter have holes in their brains, right?
"You sealed the Order Passage in this child's body?"
"Hehehe, it seems that you really know this."
Hearing Rod's rhetorical question in disbelief, the old man smiled and narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"That's right, I had to do it in order to preserve what was left of order............... Now, she belongs to you, just follow her, then I think, you will be able to reach your desired destination. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Rod did not answer, but looked at the silent girl, and noticed Rode's gaze, the girl raised her head and looked at him quietly. Although the girl didn't say anything, Rhodes already understood.
Her ——— is the coordinates of the tinder. (To be continued......)
