Chapter 179: Assault and Mutation
The circle of light of order flashed, and on the huge tower, beams of light like a storm roared down, building an impregnable copper wall with thunder and flames, and no one could break through itβββ but the attacker in front of him was not human.
The vast grasslands around the tower were now completely covered by chaotic monsters, and their proliferation rate was gradually outpacing the destruction of order. The Order Aperture still radiates from the center of the Tinder Source every half hour, destroying all surrounding chaotic creatures into nothing. But almost as soon as the glory passed, chaos re-covered the land like a shadow, and they writhed their bodies and frantically forward, as if the pitch-black earth in front of them had come to life completely. The vines that had climbed the tower were still shaking wildly, and when they were smashed, they could see the pitch-black earth outside rippling in circles like pools, and tens of thousands of Chaos monsters died under the blow, but soon the same monsters were replenished.
It's not just the small insects that fly in the sky, the winged monsters that are about the size of a man scream and pounce on the tower, although they all end up in failure. But thanks to their persistent efforts, cracks appeared in the already dilapidated tower, although only some of the shallowest facades were knocked down by the reaction force. But no one knows what will happen next.
When Christie came to the platform in front of the tower, all he saw was the boundless chaos, the black lightning was almost close in front of him, the pitch-black thunder slashed down one by one, hitting the huge vines waving in all directions, and then only a few soft sounds of "click" were heard, and the vines that were full of people hugging each other were broken in two by the thunder. The broken vine rhizome shook for a moment, and then a new branch was drilled at the wound. But in the blink of an eye, the chaos below advanced a little further.
Although it is only a little, it has already changed enough for the current battle situation.
The situation has become extremely urgent.
When Christie appears on the platform, there is no need to even ask. You can also see how critical the situation is at the moment. Chaotic things are not like humans, they do not need rest, they do not fear death, and they do not even have the consciousness of fatigue. For them, even death is dispensable. The chaos in the vortex of chaos is infinite, but humans are not infinite, they will be tired, they will collapse, they will be afraid. No matter how firm the will in the heart is, once the body can't keep up. Then no matter how strong it is, it is pointless. At this moment, under the fierce attack of the Chaos Monsters, the Guardians who were originally responsible for taking turns to rest have given up the time to rest, after all, now there is a shortage of manpower, just the defense has begun to become a little difficult, if you take turns to rest, I am afraid that the advance of Chaos will be faster and faster.
But it won't work like this.
The icy wind blew in the dark night sky, changeable and cruel. Scraping on the skin is like a sword stabbing and bringing a faint pain. The murmuring of the wind seemed to never stop, echoing around like the wails of desperate spirits. Everything in front of me is so frenzied. Fighting, fighting, fighting and dying everywhere. Whether it's the Archers, the Mercenaries and the Guardians, they're almost all in a state of numbness and frantic fighting. They are completely instinctively aiming ahead, shooting arrows or brandishing their weapons, and even the consciousness of distinguishing between friend and foe is already somewhat blurred. As long as it is something that moves in front of you, then as long as you kill it, there is no problem at all.
Although the brilliance of the source of fire still shrouded the surroundings of the tower, with the help of the infinite number of chaos, the layers of chaos formed a defense like armor. Roll forward like a wave. Although the light of order can destroy them, before that, the Chaos monsters behind have filled the void in the front, forming a perfect cycle. Once they attack under the tower, then everything will be over.
"Chaos......... After all, it's just chaos, and that's why they're so pathetic. β
Christie sighed softly, and then Christie quietly raised her right hand.
Beneath the tower, the battle continues.
"Ahhhh It's not over yet! β
The petite, snow-white girl roared and looked at the overwhelming chaos in front of her, stretched out her left hand, and three dark yellow cards flashed in her hand. Soon, the earth cracked, and countless clay figurines emerged from it, rushing towards the front. The heavy, three-meter-tall boulder roared to its feet, swinging its fists and slamming away the enemies who tried to go any further. And at this moment, the girl put her hands together, and with her movements, a series of explosions came and went, and the shining fire covered everything as far as the eye could see like stars on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the dim chaos was torn apart, tearing countless holes like rags. Then, under the light of the fire, it disappeared like melted pure snow, and the original land was re-revealed to everyone.
"Good!"
Seeing this scene in front of her, her heart slapped her palm hard, but soon the girl raised her long sword, and with her movements, the earth began to roar, and a huge bottomless crack appeared on the ground, and soon, the chaos monsters that followed rushed forward, and then fell into the abyss, the flames rose into the sky, and the huge high temperature of burning once again blocked the pace of chaos invasion.
"The man's advice was quite useful, but ..............."
Seeing that the chaos could not move forward for the time being, Xin just sat on the ground and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. In the beginning, they were just responsible for cleaning up a few sporadic fish that slipped through the net. But now, with the passage of time, the three of them have gradually felt powerless. The heart of manipulating the earth card is good to say, and the little guy has also learned a lot of skills in Rod's special training, and he can barely make himself easier when he releases it continuously at this moment. But Arashi, who manipulates the necromantic card, and the love who uses the Ice deck don't have as much luck as her.
If you continue like this, you won't be able to last long.
Although she was also worried about her sister and Lan in her heart, she now knew that she no longer had the leisure to worry about others, and she did not have the anti-heaven skills like Rhodes who could rely on the fantasy magic stone to continuously replenish the power of the soul. Whether it's using the Earth deck to attack and defend, or activating the power of your own natural rules to cause a blast. All that is consumed is the strength of the heart itself. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a child after all. A short rest time of less than ten minutes could not make up for the amount of soul power consumed by the mind. And as the Chaos Monster became stronger and stronger, so did the amount of power she consumed.
"Really, what the hell is that lord doing? Why don't you light the fire yet.................. Well? β
Xin subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky in front of him, but in the next moment. The words she had complained about were stuck in her throat like this. I saw that at this moment in the black sky, dazzling, bright golden runes kept flowing, forming a river of golden runes, and in the golden rune wrap was a girl with long black hair and a body size similar to herself.
"She's ..............."
Seeing this scene in front of him, he couldn't help frowning. As a guardian of the pseudo-human, of course she knew that the girl was brought by the nasty outsider lord. Judging from the appearance, it should be his sister. But even the heart can see that the girl is weak and has no combat power at all. But why is she here?
Christie raised her right hand.
The ring on his finger burst into a dazzling and bright light in an instant, and the ancient, mysterious golden runes flashed one after another, and the bright and brilliant light even overshadowed the light of the fire source, dazzling like a morning star in the night sky. This light doesn't just attract the Guardians who are fighting. Even the Chaos Vortex, which was originally attacking the tower, stopped in an instant, and in the next moment. They seem to have changed their goals immediately.
"Ga ββββ!!"
Under the piercing and screaming sound, among the dense black clouds in the sky, countless chaos monsters flapped their wings and frantically pounced on the girl in front of them, they opened their mouths, revealing their sharp claws. Just stretching out your hand is enough to tear the weak girl in front of you to pieces. However, in the face of the overwhelming chaos monsters, Christie did not look panicked at all, on the contrary, the girl quietly looked at the prey in front of her. In that purple eye. For the first time, there was a cruel, indifferent, and murderous excitement.
"That's it, just chaos."
Christie whispered, and then her right hand flicked to the side.
βββββοΌοΌβ
With Christie's movements, the scroll of golden runes suddenly unfolded in the void, and the white and flawless scroll was empty. Christie, on the other hand, raised her right hand high, and soon, countless bright silver rays of light emerged from the void, twisting and changing to form a snow-white quill. Then the girl lowered her hand and began to wave slowly on the scroll in front of her.
The roar of the Chaos Monster became more and more crazy, but it was more like the fear of being cornered, and the Chaos Monster that flew over did not completely tear apart the prey in front of them as they thought, but slammed into an invisible transparent barrier, and the light of the source of fire flashed, and soon all the monsters that tried to enter the realm of order were completely wiped out.
"Beyond chaos, order lives on."
Christie lowered her eyes, the movements in her hands were slow but firm, and under her drawing, she soon saw the appearance of the source of fire appearing on the snow-white scroll that was originally empty, but unlike the dilapidated tower in front of her, there was not a single gap in the majestic, tall tower. With it as the center, a white and flawless light of order enveloped the entire sky. Countless magical runes formed a barrier one after another, one after another, connected to the end of the earth. The chaotic monster was completely gone, and not a trace of residue remained.
"This is your first and final destination."
Whispering silently, the quill in Christie's hand rested leisurely at the bottom of the scroll, outlining the last stroke of the picture in front of him.
White light enveloped the entire sky in an instant.
White and flawless, brilliant and dazzling bright light turned the originally chaotic and dark sky into a white and milk-like color, and the sky and the earth were lost for a while. The black cloud of chaos vanished, and the remaining chaos monsters began to melt and disappear rapidly. Not only that, but the tower, which had already begun to break during the previous attack, gradually changed its appearance. The falling stone flew back to the breached like a movie rewind, and the broken vines rewound around the tall tower. After a few moments, the dilapidated tower was already renewed, as if it had just been built.
"It's .................."
Everyone stared at what was happening in front of them, but their minds were at a loss, including their hearts. No one could have imagined that that petite and fragile looking girl could have such great power. Not only did she expel the Chaos monsters, but she even forcibly sealed the passage for the Chaos invasion?
"Hoo .................."
It was only then that Christie sighed, and then she turned and landed again on the high platform. At this time, I saw that Rasti and the archers who were in charge of guarding the high platform also hurried over.
"Your Highness!"
"I'm fine."
Hearing Rasti's anxious inquiry, Christie waved her hand gently. Then she glanced at the white-robed girl in front of her and spoke softly.
"My ability to close them off for up to a day allows others to take advantage of this time to go and rest. Replenish your stamina. This will buy us a little more time. And that's all I can do, and the next ...............," Christie said, looking down, the purple glow in her eyes. ββ¦β¦β¦ The rest is left to my master, and I am sure that he will be fine. β
"Boom Boom Boom Boom !!"
A dull explosion sounded, then vanished. The gorgeous metal hall in front of me has completely turned into a mess. Metal pipes that had been buried along the walls were scattered to the ground. White steam erupted from the cracks, and the most striking thing was that. It was the metal spider in the center of the metal hall that was more than six meters tall. At this moment, it had been dismantled into a pile of pieces, and it collapsed to the ground without a sound. It is the final boss guarding the second passage, and it is also Rhodes' current goal. However, unlike the first act, this boss does not transform, nor does it transform into any strange giant, although it is also more powerful than the original guardian structure. But compared to the perverted existence of the guardian soldiers, it is still far behind. In this case, it is natural that Rhodes will not waste too much time dealing with it. Even because he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy and he would conjure up a guardian soldier again, Rhodes directly launched Xiluosi's "Six Blades of Blood" and turned the boss in front of him into a pile of scrap metal.
But even so, standing in front of the wreckage of the boss at this moment, Rhodes still looked like he wanted to kill someone.
The reason is simple. He still didn't get anything.
There is no equipment, no skills, no runes, and even the soul core is actually broken. This made Rod's anger at the moment have broken through the sky. He had never felt such a strong sense of malice as he did now. Even now Rhodes has the idea that he would rather live in the game world, so that in the future, maybe he will have the opportunity to strangle the person who designed this copy to death!! No, just strangling to death is really not enough to make people angry, at least ten tortures must start!
"Damn ..............."
Rod spat dissatisfiedly, then shook his head, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. Now is not the time to care about equipment, although I don't know how the difficulty of this damn dungeon maze in front of Lu Dao has been adjusted, but the most important thing at the moment is to light the fire. As long as the fire is lit, then this territory is your own, huh......... It doesn't get any better than that. Compared to this large territory, what is a little equipment......... Well, that's right, that's it, it has to be so, it has to be so!
"Boom!"
Gritting his teeth, Rhodes slammed his fist against the wall, which could be regarded as temporarily borrowing the resentment in his heart, and then he took a deep breath and looked at the three people beside him.
"Let's take a break and move on."
"No problem, Captain."
"Good, Mr. Rhodes."
Hearing Rod's order, Anne and Lijie nodded. But Marlene uncharacteristically did not answer, on the contrary, since she had just reported to Rhodes that she had failed to "touch the corpse" again, Marlene had been standing next to this piece of garbage, silent and not saying anything.
"Marlene?"
Sensing Marlene's abnormality, Rod couldn't help frowning, Marlene had been unusually silent since just now, but Rod didn't think much about it at the time. After all, Marlene herself actually doesn't like the job of "touching corpses", and Rod also knows it, but now it seems that Marlene's situation is not quite right. Looking closely, you can see that a few blush appeared on the girl's originally fair cheeks, even her eyes became blurry and confused, and even a few beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead.
"Luo ......... Morality............? β
Hearing Rod's call, Marlene's originally confused eyes finally regained a trace of clarity. She looked up and reluctantly looked at the man who was walking towards her. In fact, from the moment she defeated the Patronus, Marlene felt that something was not right in her body. The flames that had been dancing in his body gradually began to burn, and with each time Rhodes defeated an enemy, Marlene felt the scorching flames in his body get hotter and hotter. Until now, her body seemed to be flowing with lava everywhere, and the intense heat almost robbed Marlene of her mind and melted her body completely.
"I......... How am I............ Hot ..............."
Wrapping her body around, Marlene reluctantly finished the last sentence, and in the next moment, her consciousness sank into an infinite dark abyss. (To be continued......)
