Chapter 863 Extreme joy brings sorrow
After making sure that he was absolutely safe in a short period of time, Gavin shouted to the Tu Ling Witch who was fighting fiercely with Dushan Witch: "Lord Tu Ling, killing Dushan Witch is not The key point is to fight for control of this dream.
This black-hearted witch imprisoned everyone in the dream. Measuring the souls of the innocent citizens of Moshantir City, you strive to seize part of the control of the dream and release the survivors. This is the most convenient way to weaken this dream."
See you. After experiencing the cruelty of war in his nightmare, Gavin decisively adjusted his strategy and was not prepared to involve those ordinary Leathermen again.
Whether they are in front of the army of horror demons, the army of shadows, or the army of nightmare monsters, they are not only cannon fodder, but if they are not careful, they will become food for the enemy to become more powerful.
Rather than staying here, it would be more helpful to release them from their nightmares.
The earth spirit witch sensed it a little bit, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Dushan, you bastard, you should go to hell, you should be cut into pieces with a thousand knives, they are also your tribe, how can you Can you do it?”
“Clansmen? Sister Tu Ling, have you become stupid in practicing earth magic and turned your brain into a rock?”
Dushan Witch Zhen He responded plausibly, "We are the descendants of the noble Lomansa Empire, we are the inheritance and guardians of the knowledge of Imasca, and they are just a group of Rus barbarians, our guardians and the ones who rebuild the empire." Tools.
You are the real betrayers. You betrayed your own race and your responsibilities, and regarded a group of lowly slaves as your own people.”
The dark witch's argument has already implicated the history of Leatherman Kingdom.
This history can be traced back tens of thousands of years to the same era as the dwarf kingdom Shanata.
Not only the Eastern Territory of Desperation, but the entire eastern part of Faerûn was once ruled by an empire called Imaskar. The ruling class of this country was called the Artificer, their supreme ruler. Known as the King of Artifact Masters.
They are not only good at the use of teleportation magic, but also good at making various powerful magic instruments. Many of the magic creations called strange techniques are excavated from the ruins of this empire.
The magical civilization they created is thousands of years older than the Netherese Empire, and is even more brilliant.
The most famous thing they did was to use interdimensional portals to kidnap countless slaves from a world without magic, which also laid the foundation for the destruction of the empire.
Because the world where those slaves live has no magic, but there are gods.
These slaves, who were later called the Mulans, became the best springboard for their gods to invade Faerun. They sent their most powerful saints (divine incarnations) to Faerun. ), leading his people to fight against the Artifact Master.
With the help of these divine beings, the Imasca Empire completely collapsed, and the Artifact Master King died in battle.
Those divine incarnations established the kingdom of Mulhorand in eastern Faerûn, which combines royal power with divine power, and continues to this day.
Most of the prosperous areas of Imasca were occupied by the Kingdom of Morholland. The only remaining Imasca people were forced to the extremely cold land in the north, which is now the desperate eastern region. They established here The Lomansa Empire.
But there is a powerful barbarian empire called Nafir here. The two sides fought for land ownership until they both died.
The Leatherman Witches are a secret women's association formed on the eve of the collapse of the Lomansa Empire. The purpose is to protect the inheritance and magical knowledge of the Lomansa Kingdom and wait for the opportunity to revive the Lomansa Empire.
As for the Rus barbarians, they migrated from the northwest of Faerun continent, where Luskan City is now located, through the ancient portal left by the Imaskars. They and Lomantha The witches formed an alliance and began to intermarry with the Lomantha people on a large scale, changing their name to Leatherman.
Strictly speaking, the Leathermen and the Uthgard barbarians have a common ancestor.
The root of the schism among the Leatherman witches was laid from the very beginning of the founding of the country. At that time, there were completely different differences within them regarding the treatment of the Ruth barbarians.
The mainstream is naturally that the two parties cooperate sincerely, intermarry with each other, and form a brand new kingdom, which is the path that Witch Leatherman insists on now.
The other faction is the theory of noble blood. They should maintain pure Lomantha blood, especially witches, because pure blood is the source of their strength, and those Rus barbarians will pollute their blood. , greatly reducing their spell casting limit.
The Leatherman witches are getting worse with each generation. Most of the most powerful witches come from pure-blood Lomansa, which also proves this theory in disguise.
The Dushan Witches have always been the leader of this argument. After they completely broke with the Leatherman Witches, they still maintained a high level of activity in secret. This is because this theory of noble blood is still popular among the pure-blood Lomansa Witches. There is a huge market in China.
This is also the reason why the dark witches sacrificed a large number of Leathermen without mercy, because they never regarded them as tribesmen, just a group of slaves.
“Standing still is unreasonable. The world is constantly developing. Lomansa is just our history, and Leatherman is our present. Only by looking forward can we develop better, and Don't dwell on the past "
The earth spirit witch seemed too lazy to waste any more time with Witch Dushan. The terrifying earth elemental power surged under her feet, and her dull shout resounded throughout the dark city of Moshantir, "Wake up! .”
Boom! boom! boom!
The crumbling houses in the dark city of Moshantir began to collapse one after another.
It looks like the earth elemental power triggered by the earth spirit witch collapsed it. In fact, she used her power to send these souls back to reality. Without their support, these houses will naturally collapse into ruins.
“No!” Witch Dushan screamed in despair.
The souls of these Leathermen are the key to the Shadow Nightmare Tree being anchored in the city of Mosantir.
When these anchor points are removed one after another, the distance between the two sides will become farther and farther.
In the end, let alone the souls of the Leathermen, even the souls of those who died in the battle will not be able to collect them inside, and they will go where they should go.
But as the white flames on the Shadow Nightmare Tree burned crazily, my ability to control it became weaker and weaker.
"Hey!" Witch Dushan suddenly realized something was wrong. The burning speed of the Shadow Nightmare Tree seemed not to be more intense than at the beginning, but to be declining.
The state of the instigator was not quite right either. His spirit became obviously much weaker. This was the result of a large consumption of mental energy in a short period of time.
Although the opponent's ability is evil, it is not completely without consumption.
He is just an extraordinary spellcaster who has not even reached legend, and his own power is limited.
I was fooled by him and chose the wrong direction of attack.
You should not send the shadow army to attack him directly, but fight him directly at the shadow nightmare tree and tire him out alive.
It’s not too late.
Witch Dushan immediately adjusted her battle plan.
The shadow army gathered together again, facing the blazing white flames coming from the shadow nightmare tree, and rushed towards it one after another, even if they had no chance to get close, they were burned to death No matter what the ashes are.
Soon there was a rain of dust from the sky - soul dust.
Gavin's spirit was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he kept urging: "Lord Earth Spirit, first move your totem land away from here. I can't support it anymore. , beware of being tainted with blasphemy by them again.”
"Where are the other sisters? Why haven't they arrived yet? We can't give up the earth totem tree so easily. This will leave disasters. Dushan will be able to use it to make a comeback at any time." The earth spirit witch did not Be willing to give up the earth totem tree easily.
It has already been lost once, and I don’t want to lose it a second time.
Gavin was secretly anxious, but he couldn't express some words to the Tuling Witch. He could only explain: "Lord Tuling, you have been sleeping for many days and don't know the situation outside. We and the Tukan people The war breaks out.
The other masters were all on the lake, locked in a stalemate with the Tukan people. For a while, there was no way to withdraw in large numbers from the battlefield. Witch Dushan also took this opportunity to help the Tukan people cause chaos in Mosantir City and distract our energy.
My mission for this trip is to rescue Lord Earth Spirit and to resolve the siege of Moshantir City. The matter of the Earth Totem Tree will be resolved later. ”
The answer he gave was impeccable, in order to further confuse Witch Dushan.
Gavin didn’t know whether the dark witch leader believed it, but the earth spirit witch believed it. Because her totem land is integrated with the Shadow Nightmare Tree, she has memories of what happened in Moshantir City and knows the situation here clearly
While the two were asking and answering questions, Witch Dushan regained the initiative on the Shadow Nightmare Tree and began to infiltrate the earth totem tree from top to bottom again.
The evil that Gavin manipulated to destroy is giving way little by little.
For Witch Dushan's shadow army, this process is very cruel, and every point scored has to be paid by a large number of shadow ghosts.
Witch Dusan, who once tasted the unique nightmare of shadows, went a little crazy. She would rather abandon the entire army of shadows than take them back, because the future it represents is not an army of shadows at all. Nothing can be compared.
Boom!
Violent tremors spread from the Shadow Nightmare Tree throughout the entire dark city of Moshantil, and then to the real Moshantil.
This is a sign that the earth spirit witch has transferred the totem land, and she has directly transferred it to the city of Mosantir.
As her power was withdrawn, the shadow army retaken the shadow nightmare tree from Gavin's hands faster.
“Withdraw!” The earth spirit witch stretched out her big hand, grabbed the miniature mystery lock covering Gavin, and formed an earth element layer on the outside.
When the earth element layer collapsed, the scene in front of them had completely changed. Both the shadow nightmare tree and the shadow army led by Witch Dushan had disappeared, and they had returned to reality.
"Haha... It's mine. This tree is finally mine. I didn't expect that the totem land of the earth spirit would be the biggest obstacle for me to master this tree. If I had known, I would have completely crushed her. It has become the nourishment of this dream.”
Witch Dushan, who has regained the Shadow Nightmare Tree, cannot hide her excitement in her words.
It is certainly a huge loss for her to have someone rescue the Earth Spirit Witch. To be able to desecrate the totem land of a top Haslan Witch is unprecedented even for her. matter.
But the gains from it are enough to make up for this loss. Her ability to control the Shadow Nightmare Tree has reached a level that was unprecedented before.
Now she only needs to be in the tree to know the entire dream, and she can change many laws here in an instant.
If she had such strong control before, how could she be attacked by someone and played with her metacarpal bones?
Witch Dushan directly set her sights on those terrifying monsters. Their compatibility is so consistent with the nightmare and dream, and they are sent to the door by themselves, so become a member of this dream and become A new weapon in your own hands!
With just a thought, the entire nightmare dream began to shrink sharply, forcing the beings inside to fly in the direction of the shadow nightmare tree involuntarily.
After most of the horror demons were driven under the Shadow Nightmare Tree, Witch Dushan suddenly attacked.
Countless shadow tentacles hung down from the boulder canopy, binding the horror demons tightly. No matter how they screamed or struggled, they could not escape the entanglement of the shadow tentacles. Instead, they became entangled. The number of shadow tentacles is increasing, dragging them towards the shadow nightmare tree.
Soon they were swallowed up by the Shadow Nightmare Tree, but within a few minutes, they were spit out one by one.
Between entering and exiting, they have been labeled as nightmares and dreams. They are no longer aggressive towards everything here, but have become the guardians of this place.
Seeing that the most powerful Horror Demon Lord was forcibly swallowed by the Shadow Nightmare Tree, Filancini's figure emerged silently again, and she couldn't help but taunted: "See you I've been stupid before, I've never seen anyone so stupid, don't talk nonsense, rice You can't eat them randomly, especially these monsters of unknown origin, because you are afraid that they will be indigestible and poison you to death."
"Who are you? I have no enmity with you. Why? Do you want to oppose me at all times?" Witch Dushan asked angrily.
"Don't you think this question is very childish and ridiculous? At our level, do you think it is our own emotions that affect our words and deeds?" Filancini said calmly.
The other party's answer immediately caused Witch Dushan to fall into a brief silence. The anger that kept surging in her heart calmed down a lot in an instant, "Yes, everything is for profit. I didn't expect you to see it more clearly than me. Much more, then you can stay with me.”
The Horror Demon Lord also emerged from the Shadow Nightmare Tree, leading his army of Horror Demons towards Filancy. Ni came to kill.
The entire nightmare was compressed again, and countless shadow tentacles stretched out from all directions, trying to trap Filancini inside.
"If you want to take action with me, you must first understand your own situation." The second before the opponent formed an encirclement, Filancini stepped back into her magic cabin.
This is her safe house. No matter how tight the nightmare is surrounded by Witch Dushan, there will always be a door open for her.
After returning to her magic cabin, Filancini immediately cut off all connections between it and the nightmare dream, and began to separate the two parties.
“It’s not that easy to leave.” The ferocious face of Witch Dushan appeared directly on the surface of the nightmare.
The nightmare and dream at this moment has been distorted to the extreme.
The face belongs to Witch Dushan, but she is not the only one. There are other faces, large and small, floating around her body. At the same time, there are countless shadow tentacles gathering and forming around her, two of which are The thickest one was stretching towards Filancini's magic cabin.
At first glance, the Nightmare Dream and the Horror Demon are 40-50% similar, except that they are larger in size, far beyond the limits of normal biological applications.
Filancini sighed helplessly and reminded again: "Before attacking others, first understand your own situation. Look behind you."
This was the first time she had seen such a stubborn person. Someone who is so hateful and aggressive.
I have reminded him again and again, but he only insists on biting me.
"No matter what happens behind me, you must face it with me." Seeing her two shadow tentacles tied to Filancini's magic cabin, Witch Dushan said with a proud smile. .
Due to the layers of shadow tentacles wrapped around her, Filancini's speed away from the magic house became obviously much slower.
Only then did Witch Dushan spare her energy and observe the surrounding situation.
No need to ask, they must be in the etheric fog now. Under normal circumstances, their line of sight will not exceed one hundred or ten meters.
But they are obviously in an abnormal state, especially Witch Dushan. Not only has her control over nightmares reached an unprecedented level, her power is also not the same as before. Although nearly half of Leather The Man souls were freed by the Earthen Witch, but she completely swallowed up the invaders' army of Horrors and Dark Callers.
Both their quality and the degree of compatibility with nightmares and dreams are not comparable to those of ordinary Leathermen, which further enhances her understanding and mastery of nightmares and dreams.
Manipulating the nightmare and dreaming like this now, using it as a complete whole to attack Filancini's magic house, is the new ability she has just acquired. She can even control the entire nightmare and dreaming. Mobile, this is simply an out-and-out etheric battleship. From now on, she can travel freely in the etheric plane.
Not only can she freely enter and exit the major material planes, but even the inner planes (elemental planes) will become her hunting ground. She can appropriately take a longer view and accumulate enough energy in other places. After gaining great strength, come back and fight with those sisters.
"What is that?" Witch Dushan's beautiful mood was interrupted by the situation behind her nightmare. A cold fear gripped her soul, and in an instant, it seemed to completely destroy her. Freeze, temporarily losing the ability to think, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
Behind the nightmare dream, dragging countless tentacles made of white mist, the image is very similar to the magic hut he used to tie the other party, but neither the length nor the thickness are the same. language.
Even the thinnest one is comparable to Filancini's magic cabin, and they are clearly distinguishable even in the etheric plane, which is also covered in fog.
