Chapter 478: Under the Mist (V)
This is a chaotic world.
Originally, chaos ruled everything, but in the midst of this, order emerged, like a light shining into the endless darkness, barely opening up a new world in the eternal chaos. Five dragons were born from it, they were born from order, guarded order, and used their strength to forcibly open up a new continent in this infinite chaos, life was born, order existed forever, and the five dragons of creation used their lives and souls to guard this fragile world, until it gradually grows, strong enough to compete with chaos, and eventually, order will overwhelm chaos and bring a new century.
This is the first chapter of the creation poem, and almost all the people of the Dragon Soul Continent are very familiar with it, even those village wild men who walk and walk in the fields know that chaos is powerful. The power of order is still very weak in front of it, if it were not for the dragon souls of the Creation Five Dragons guarding this world, then they would eventually be devoured by chaos and turned into nothing.
No one doubts the accuracy of this legend, after all, until now, there are many places on this continent that have lost the protection of dragon souls and become chaotic places of death. Anyone who has ever seen that scene will not have the slightest doubt about it.
It is rumored that when the Creation Five Dragons created the World Realm, they used their bodies to turn into the ground, their souls into the sky, and the Seven Illusions Realm with the four elements as the base as the pillars, supporting the entire World Realm from the erosion of the chaotic power of the outside world, and outside the protection of this dragon soul, there are infinitely burning black flames——— and the demons living in it.
There are very few people who have seen demons in this world, and it can even be said that there are almost none, so even with legendary powerhouses like Corinna and Di, it is not surprising that their knowledge of Chaos Flame and demons is still on the surface. Because the dragon soul protection in this era is still relatively complete, and most of the demons are in the bottomless abyss, they are more keen to kill the devil to the death than to run to the surface to deal with humans. Therefore, on this continent, except for the occasional few lost or unlucky demons descending through the cracks in the plane in the Chaos Lands, most people basically have no chance to meet demons. Not to mention that the Chaos Flame is a symbol of the bottomless abyss, although it is also documented in the literature. But if you don't actually see it with your own eyes, you won't know the truth. Rhodes is also so familiar with these things because he entered the battlefield between the seven layers of hell and the bottomless abyss later in the game.
And what gave him even more headache was the effect of the Chaos Flame.
"Humph!!"
Right now, the black flames are burning more and more, and the others are a little at a loss at the moment, they have more or less heard of the power of the Chaos Demon Flame, but they don't know how to face it. However, the old mage just now gave everyone a rather bad start - although he had been rescued from the black flames by Rhodes, almost everyone present could clearly feel that his strength had been greatly weakened, and he had even fallen directly from the legendary realm to the mortal realm.
According to the game, it was burned by this flame once. The old mage's level immediately dropped by more than ten levels.
Many people have heard of the power of the Chaos Demon Flame in rumors, and at this moment, seeing this strange and terrifying power with their own eyes, even if they are as strong as they are at a loss for a while——— the powerhouses in the legendary realm can manipulate and change the rules to a certain extent, but the Chaos Demon Flame is based on order, and the rules that are as strong as Lydia or the Creation Dragon Soul level cannot be devoured, but just at the moment, the power of order of this level is undoubtedly the best wood for the Chaos Demon Flame. It's effortless to burn up.
"It's a nuisance."
Looking at the appearance of the people in front of him, Rod shook his head secretly. He was not surprised at all that these powerhouses would react like this, in fact, after they entered the bottomless abyss for the first time and were burned by the black flames for more than ten levels, many high-level players even stopped in fright, and once wanted to leave the guild to return to the surface world. In the end, it was Rhodes who forcibly suppressed their thoughts, and was not afraid of hardship or tiredness and led these people back and forth between hell and the abyss, spending a lot of time with them to brush back the ranks, and at the same time robbing the devil and demons of a lot of loot. This was the final elimination of the dispute. Many people only know that the strength of the Lu Dao Starlight Guild has skyrocketed since it came out of the underground, but they don't know that if it wasn't for Rhodes' strength at that time, I'm afraid that a guild that is invincible across the continent will split itself from within.
Thinking of this, Rhodes no longer hesitated, he suddenly waved his right hand, and soon bright red flames rose to the ground, and then the roaring hellhound galloped out of it, roaring towards the empty center of the hall. And at this moment, those black flames seemed to be aware of the existence of this hellhound, and rolled and condensed and pounced on it. Soon. Black flames scorched the body of the Hellhound. This caused the hellhound to let out a miserable scream, but unexpectedly. The red flames on its body also surged up at this time, and for a while, it was able to block the erosion of the black flames.
And so it was.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Rhodes let out a sigh, the flames of hell are the flames of order, and they happen to restrain each other with the flames of chaos in the bottomless abyss. Rhodes still remembered the magnificent scene he saw on the infinite bloody battlefield where black and red flames roared and intertwined, colliding and dissipating with each other. Right now, the hellhound under his command is from the seventh layer of hell, and it is the best way to deal with the Chaos Flames.
However, the power is not enough, although it can resist for a while, but there is no way to match the Demon Duke's Chaos Demon Flame, if he has the cards of the Grand Duke of Hell then there is still this certainty, but ......... It's not a good choice.
There is only one way to do it.
"Miss Corinna, shoot it!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Rod's shout, the Moon Elf couldn't help but open her eyes in curiosity and surprise, she didn't see that this strange black hound was summoned by the other party, but because of this, this order sounds simply unbelievable to the Moon Elf——— this kind of request to order others to kill their summoned elves throughout the ages is unheard of even for the long-lived elven race.
But doubts are doubts, Corinna did not have the slightest hesitation on her face, Rod's speech had not even completely fallen on the last note, only to see that the moon elf girl had already had a silver longbow in her empty hand, and at the same time as Rod's voice disappeared, a little golden light had already shot out from between Corinna's fingers, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated the right eye of the hellhound.
Corinna was so fast that the Hellhound had already taken a few steps forward after being shot through the head. Then he fell to the ground with a bang, and at the same time, everyone only felt a dazzling light flash in front of their eyes, followed by an incomparable roar and scorching breath.
The explosion formed by the hellhound rose from the ground and blasted straight into the sky, the aftermath of the explosion mixed with flames spread around, if ordinary people were involved in an explosion of this magnitude, then there was only one option, but fortunately, the people who remained in the Mithril Hall at the moment were not ordinary people. So after this round of explosions, they couldn't even see a speck of black smoke and dust on their bodies. However, when everyone looked around again, they were surprised to find that the black flames that had been raging were now as weak and tiny as wilted grass, and they were now above the center of the Mithril Temple. Instead, a huge cavity appeared——— cracks spread out in all directions, and stones lost their support and fell downward.
"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
Rhodes shook his hand again, and soon, the soul bird quickly possessed his body, and then he picked up the old mage beside him, spread his spirit wings and flew towards the hollow. At this moment, the others also reacted quickly, and Corinna's figure jumped. Soaring like a light bird, her slender figure rose and fell on the gravel before she caught up with Rhodes. As a vampire, Di didn't need to say much, he looked at Rod's back with a strange gaze, then smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly the wind blew, and then a large group of black bats let out a piercing scream, like a black cloud towards the mouth of the cave. On the ground, however, the vampire species and the death knight are still missing.
Until this time. The entire hall could no longer withstand the impact of the explosion. Collapsed with a bang.
"Hoo ............"
Rhodes flew out of the hollow almost in embarrassment, and landed crookedly on the ground. He put down the old mage in his hand and couldn't help wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. Turning his head to look, he saw that a lot of light and shadow had already flown out of it, and there were more than a dozen people in the total of the forces of the parties conducting this hearing, and at this moment in Rod's eyes, it could be seen that most of them had quickly moved away from here, and it was obvious that before they figured out what was happening, these forces chose to wait and see.
Although there is nothing wrong with this either.
Rhodes sighed and stood up, the trembling of the ground continued, at this moment he was standing on top of a heavy mountain wall, looking down from the mountain, he could see that the entire earthquake was spreading around the ruins of the Mithril Hall, and everywhere he could see was people crying and running, they fled from the ruins of the house that was about to collapse, and ran into the distance, some of them were slow and had no time to dodge before they were swallowed by the black flames, There are even some people who fall directly into the bottomless crevices and disappear without a trace.
It's a disaster movie.
Rhodes shook his head, he was really glad that he had let Marlene and the others leave early, and the demon duke had been resurrected, and such a big disaster could be said to be unprecedented. Fortunately, Rhodes himself still has experience in facing demons, but the others are not advanced enough, if Marlene and the others did not leave at this time but still stayed here, then Rhodes really doubted that he could save them all by his own strength.
But what now?
Looking at the black flames flickering between the cracks in the ground, Rhodes' scalp couldn't help but tingle. To be honest, mortals still have the confidence to fight, but the Demon Duke has completely surpassed the reaction that Rhodes was able to fight. Dealing with the Demon Duke in the middle of the game will either weaken his chaotic powers or lead him to the territory of order. Even Rhodes and the others, when they went underground to find trouble with the devil and the devil, they only killed the demon Grand Duke after wearing fire kang equipment and luring the demon Grand Duke into the flames of the devil's order.
But what about now?
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but glance up at the sky, but at this moment, the black and white sky was becoming more and more chaotic, lightning roared, black thunder and lightning fell from the sky, hitting the ground heavily, the wind was howling all around, and even the space seemed to be overwhelmed and began to wail. What's even worse is that this is not a place of order, but a natural chaos formed in the cracks of the dragon soul. This can't be eliminated, and once the Demon Duke appears here, then the rest is big trouble.
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but have a headache, as an experienced of the Third Creation War, of course he knew what kind of disasters would be brought about once the demons invaded this world, compared to it, even if the ten Night Dragon Kingdoms launched a war of aggression against the Kingdom of Light, it could only be regarded as a child's play. Could it be that Her Highness Lydia sent herself here to settle this matter for herself? That's right. She had seen her own strength with her own eyes, did she really think that she could handle the Demon Duke? With his current strength, I'm afraid that if he is touched by the demon duke, he will be wiped out, and there will be no scum left, so what else is there to do?
And just when Rod was distressed, suddenly he felt a fragrance pass by him, and then a beautiful voice sounded from Rode's side.
"What should I do next, gentleman?"
“?”
Rod looked up in confusion. Then he saw Corinna standing not far from his side, with an anxious face——— Moon Elf staring solemnly at the tragic situation below that seemed to be a magnitude ten earthquake, she bit her lower lip slightly, and her face was slightly pale.
"So many people are in misery......... Is there anything we can do to stop the spread of the disaster? ”
“………… Miss Corinna, why haven't you left yet? ”
Rhodes stared at the moon elf in front of him, and after a moment, he spat out a sentence with difficulty, and when he heard him speak, Corinna looked at him curiously and suspiciously, as if Rod was asking about a very strange thing.
"Such a heavy aura of evil. Mixed with the power of chaos, how can I leave? Not to mention that there are so many people who haven't had time to escape, even if it's just a little bit, and I hope to be able to do my part to eradicate evil and chaos again. ”
“…………………”
Rhodes stared blankly at the moon elf in front of him, the eyes were so strange that even Corinna felt a little hairy, she frowned dissatisfiedly, although she said that she was a good-natured moon elf, but she was still very dissatisfied with Rod's gaze, not to mention that this was not the simple kind of admiration and liking of human beings. It's even more like taking himself for an idiot.
"What? This gentleman. Am I not right? You have time to see me here, so let me hear what advice you have for facing the dilemma at hand. ”
“……………”
Until this time. Rod lowered his head and sighed imperceptibly. At this time, he was almost full of grief and indignation——— this is not right, in his memory, Corinna, who served as the Moon Elf Guardian Knight, was a calm, intelligent, decisive and brave Elven Knight. Why is it that this Miss Corinna is so natural at the moment that she is almost as good as Anne, could it be that the other party has always been like this before the war began? It's only changed after the baptism of war?
But how can one become so much? It's not scientific.
At this moment, Rod has no time to think about what kind of battle this natural moon elf lady has encountered before she faded away from her natural stupid nature and become so shrewd and capable, at this moment Rod only knows one thing, that is, since Corinna is here, it means that his only life-saving straw is completely out of play.
"I have the same thoughts as Miss Corinna."
A soft, graceful voice rang out, followed by countless black bats whistling and flying in the air, then gradually merging into two human figures, standing opposite Rhodes and Corinna. Di smiled as gracefully as ever, bowed slightly to the Moon Elf, and then looked at Rod.
"As the emissary of the Duchy of Moon, I think this gentleman should have a perfect solution."
“…………………”
Rhodes didn't speak, his natural temperament allowed him to remain calm after hearing Dee's words, and he didn't even beat his heart half a minute more. At the same time, Rod couldn't help but secretly praise that he really deserved to be the "half military advisor" behind the scenes of the Night Dragon Country, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, if he doesn't move, he will die.
Rod didn't know what the other party recognized him on. But now in the face of Di's inquiry, he really only has a helpless wry smile——— he is really smart but is clever and mistaken, Di this kid has always been step-by-step, everything is foresighted, but the so-called often walk by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet, he thought that he would have a way to solve the situation in front of him, the problem is that now he does not have this ability at all. Don't talk about yourself, even if you unite the envoys of all the powerful forces. It's also a fantasy to defeat the Devil's Grand Duke, don't even dream about it.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Di, I don't have anything to do."
Rhodes looked at the other party, not afraid of the blood-red pupils at all——— which is also necessary when negotiating with the vampires, after all, each vampire has the power to manipulate the other party's spirit through their eyes, and once they get into the way, they will completely become the slaves of the other party, and because of this. Most mortals are afraid to look up at each other when faced with vampires, but this will make vampires look down on these mortals, they are cowardly, cowardly, and have no value to survive, if not become slaves. So what's the use of coming?
Seeing the resolute gaze transmitted through the pitch-black mask, Di couldn't help but let out a soft "huh", he didn't expect that the other party, as a mortal, actually had the momentum and courage to look at him, but even so, this vampire didn't say much, he just smiled, and then tidied up his clothes.
"Really?"
“………………”
Rod shook his head, then glanced at Corinna beside him. The Demon Duke is an eighty-level elite monster that has broken through the legendary boundary, in this case, even the Seven Loves can't fight with it, if it's in the Fire Element Plane, maybe the Seven Loves still have a few chances of winning, but here, the Seven Loves are not at all.
After all, even the legendary level is divided. Among the legendary levels, there are also three levels: "Harmony Realm", "Land of Order", and "Triple Realm". The current Di and Corinna are nothing more than the existence of the "Harmony Realm". No more than level 65. They are able to touch the rules, take advantage of the rules. But they can't grasp the rules. And when they can master the rules, they can create their own spiritual enchantment "Land of Order", and within a certain range, they can say that those who are inferior to themselves are included in this Land of Order, where everything is in their hands. The Triple Realm is the pinnacle of the Legendary Realm, and it is only one step away from the invitation of the gods, at this stage, they can create their own rules, and refine them, so that they can completely become a member of the fate and rule system that weaves the entire Dragon Soul Continent. And above eighty, it is divided into three types: "Elemental Heart", "On the Side of God" and "Quasi-God", which basically has nothing to do with the player, and those who have elemental hearts must be lords of the elemental plane, but they are only up to level eighty-five. And Lydia, as the servant of the Creation Dragon Soul of the Creation Realm, is relatively higher, only ninety to ninety-five, only the Creation Five Dragon Souls are the real hundred-level capped——— under the protection of their dragon souls, they are omnipotent.
However, the "Triple Realm" of the Demon Duke does not exist, no matter how high or low the demon level is, their nature is still chaotic, and any rules that represent order are meaningless in front of them, only the value of being destroyed. In the face of such a force, the general order is useless. Only an existence like Lydia who is "on the side of the gods" and can borrow the soul power of the Creation Dragon can completely defeat the demon duke in front of her.
But now...............
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but grit his teeth. Archduke Lydia didn't know about this? He thought it was unlikely, but if she knew, why would she send herself over? Are you still worried about the adverse political repercussions of coming here as her Grand Duke? What a big joke, the first thing to say was that Rod didn't believe that the archangel who did his own thing would give up his curiosity because of such a trivial matter.
Originally, Rod was not worried about such a trivial matter, because if Corinna could escape from here as soon as possible and return to the country of law to report the matter, then the twin dragons of the trial and judgment would definitely come out in person, and if this was the case, then it would be the best for Rhodes. But now, this natural elf lady actually didn't leave, and the chaotic power had completely closed and distorted the surrounding space, not to mention teleporting out, it was impossible to even communicate with the outside world......... What can I do?
“………………!!”
Just as Rhodes was thinking hard, suddenly, the originally violent earthquake suddenly stopped, and there was silence all around. But at this moment, no one is naïve enough to think that the suffering is over.
Because in the next instant, countless black lightning bolts fell from the sky, forming a huge cage that enveloped the entire earth in it.
And as if in response to its call, the already shattered earth finally collapsed, fell, collapsed.
A pitch-black figure with flames burning all over his body appeared in front of everyone.
