Chapter 408 [Nightmare Ratama] (6k, please give me a monthly ticket~)
【Thomas Train #Dead】
【Your deaths this week are - 6 times】
【Countdown to Resurrection: 29 minutes and 47 seconds】
【…】
It was in front of Thomas that the cry for death and resurrection appeared.
His consciousness had left his body, and he watched the body belonging to the "Thomas Train" continue to fall into the bottomless depths in mid-air.
“…Ah?”
His "consciousness" cried silently, "Are you really dead?"
He was locked in the air by several monsters climbing the cliff wall and growing with a bunch of scarlet eyes.
The monsters roared, and then terrifying and scorching scarlet fireworks burst out from their bodies, and dozens of fine, scarlet lights burst out towards Thomas, directly bombarding his body-
"Gaia!!!"
"My equipment!!!"
Thomas roared silently and indignantly, knowing that if he died in this state, it would be almost impossible for his weapons and equipment to be recycled.
During the fall in mid-air, the white seal of the "Sheng Abyss King Court" could not be activated, because the complete teleportation array could not be unfolded, so I could not teleport myself back to "Sheng Abyss" to take refuge.
He regretted it a little. He had known that he would have stuffed both the [Silver Scythe] and the [Saint Hammer] into his crotch when it was falling.
After being resurrected, I have to go back to the "Shengyuan" to smash the piggy bank in the room, and use more than 600 gold coins I saved up with frugality to exchange for a new set of weapons and equipment...
“…straight.”
Thomas thought about these things with some sadness, and subconsciously said that the national treasures were rumored.
He also stared at his "body" and then fell into the bottomless darkness until the broken body was finally swallowed by the deep darkness, and then he stopped staring.
He then focused on the panel and brushed up the attack when he was "alive".
His panel records the attacks at that time, [Red·Black Eye Demon (lv.29)], [Black·Black Eye Demon (lv.38)], and [Gray·Black Eye Demon (lv.26)], etc. Wait...
It was during the panel detection of his own state that Thomas had been maintaining, that he was attacked by these monsters.
That is a monster with a threat level "distorted" or even a "crazy disaster"!
Just like Thomas's current extraordinary level of the third level of fate, his combat power is actually similar to that of monsters below "crazy attack" and above "distortion".
But when he faced a dozen such monsters attacked him together, he could not resist, and he could only be killed instantly on the spot—
This is the second time Thomas died suddenly since he met "Biography of the Ring Flame" Drummond.
"What exactly are those things!"
He murmured in confusion, but the resurrection state still couldn't make a sound, and his instant resurrection scroll had been used up, so he could only wait for the resurrection to cool down first.
It's only half an hour of resurrection cooling time, and it's nothing for Thomas-
While pushing [Player Forum] and [Chat Channel], he opened the external network connected to the somatosensory cabin through the panel, and could also browse Pili's short videos.
But his current mood was so itchy - he was obviously about to successfully occupy the "Acropolis" of Ratama City, but what happened now happened again!
But...
Anyway, it doesn't matter if he dies now, because before he "gliding" into the Acropolis, he had almost finished several tasks he received.
Then wait for other players to occupy the Acropolis again, and there should be no trouble.
Uh...should it?
He didn't know what was going on in his heart. Just as he told his teammates before his death, the ominous premonition that was throbbing deep in his heart was changing now. It became stronger and stronger.
And he finally remembered that before he embarked on the "Sacred Expedition", his "bishop" Rothus Carlos, who held a "Divine Light Demonstration" ceremony.
The first echelon players of the church went to watch the ceremony, and the bishop said, "The City of Latama is nurturing disasters" - that is, they will take "The City of Latama" as the must-be conquered one of the reasons for the goal.
"So those... were 'disasters'?!"
Thomas thought, he felt that he had grasped some key information,
So he opened his status panel again, and his soul-state eyes began to repeatedly observe the entries of those "monsters".
Through the panel in the attack state, you can directly jump to the "hostile target" panel that attacked him at that time.
That is not a real-time update panel, and the content you can see is definitely less than direct "detection".
From the players' perspective, it is more used for post-war reviews, so that subsequent battles can gain wisdom, rather than learning from one mistake.
Thomas directly opened the panel of [Black Eye Demon (lv.38)]—
【Black Eye Demon (lv.38)】
【Race: Monster/Abyss Beast】
【Threat degree: Crazy Disaster】
【Happiness: 1883/2640, Mana: 113/540】
【Physical Attack:? , Spell Attack: 111, Defense Reduction: 24】
[Attribute: Strength? , constitution 183, agility 26, wisdom 37, divinity 54, perception 89, resistance 12, luck 25】
【…】
Grass, such a terrifying attribute...
After Thomas looked at the panel of this "Crazy Evil" Abyss Beast, his attributes were much higher than himself who is now the "Three Destiny Path".
The "health value" alone is more than three times that of myself, and its "power" attribute is still invisible. No wonder a few "scarred eye demons" can instantly kill themselves.
This kind of attack from the scalper demon seems to be mainly a numerical judgment of "physical attack".
The combat power of their "crazy evil" level may correspond to the strength of the "Fourth Level Destiny".
Thinking of these things, Thomas's attention did not delay these values for too long, but instead noticed another, which should be the key information-
In the panel of [Black Eye Demon] and in the column of [Race], it is a noun that has no impression.
——【Abyss Beast】!
It seems that it is not an ordinary monster, but a special species of some kind.
Thomas always felt familiar, and he thought, while opening the other monster panels that attacked him,
For example, [Blue·Burning Eye Demon], [Gray·Burning Eye Demon], [Red·Burning Eye Demon], etc., half of their ranks are "distorted" and half are "crazy", but their [race] are all Same.
——They are all [Abyss Beasts]!
Just like he discovered some real secret, if Thomas was not a "spirit" state waiting to be resurrected, his face would definitely have a surprise and excited expression.
He immediately opened the [Chat Channel] and opened the group chat interface belonging to the "Mirror of Glow",
He saw that the new news in the group chat had burst 99+ in an instant, and was discussing the drastic changes that had just happened-
【2.5参】: My god, the earth is chanting.jpg
[The loser eats soil]: What are the monsters that suddenly emerge from the ground?
[Big stewed with iron pot]: I don't know, but the number is really TMD
[The Big Cookie Stewed in Iron Pot]: I am about to beat him to death. On the edge of the tower where the coordinates have just collapsed, are there any good brothers next to me? Save it?
【Rabbit is so cute】: Don’t say it, it’s quite cute qwq
[Big stewed with iron pot]:?
【Sweaty Beans】: Damn, the earthquake suddenly happened just now, and the train suddenly fell.
[Sweaty soybeans]: There is no news about this b so far, it won't be dead.
【Alishiya】: It's a damn sister
【Thomas Train】:?
【Alishiya】: Damn it, zombie
【Sweaty soybean】: Damn, zombie
【Big stewed with iron pot】: Damn, zombie
【Thomas Train】:? ? ?
【…】:……
The members of the guild of "Mirror of Glow" were chatting in the chat group, and it seemed that they were the only ones who were swallowed by the huge cracks of the earthquake—
Big Crowd, Alicia and Huang Tao are still alive.
And those "abyss beasts" have rushed out of the ground and raging in the acropolis.
The big crocodile and the others were resisting the monsters. It seemed that the situation was quite serious, but Thomas couldn't see the scene with his own eyes.
He then sent a message in the guild chat group of "Mirror of Glow"—
[Thomas Train]: Damn, can't you send a message if you die? stabbing.jpg
[Thomas Train]: Are those monsters also appearing on it? This one I fell off, uh, in the crack? All are monsters!
[Thomas Train]: That should be the case before, Bishop Luo Xiu held a "Divine Light Demonstration" ceremony, which mentioned the "disaster in Ratama City"
[Thomas Train]: You can detect those monsters by throwing them out and detecting them. They are all "Abyss Beasts" in their [race] column
[Thomas Train]: So what exactly is the "Abyss Beast"? I always feel like I've read this word somewhere
[Big stewed with iron pot]: Indeed, my panel detection also showed "Abyss Beast", but I don't seem to have any impression of it
[Alixiya]: I remember...it seems like a friend I know from the 'Fangbeiyuan' has sent me some related messages?
[Alixiya]: The two deans over there seemed to have studied a monster called the "Blood Corpse Hyena", and that seemed to be an abyss beast.
[Thomas Train]: Grass, there is such a thing, I'll ask you too
【Thomas Train】: I'm back, it's true
【Big stewed with iron pot】: Damn stop talking, help me
[The Big Cookie Stewed in Iron Pot]: Encountering the "crazy" monster, [Bloody Devourer], what is NMD like?
[Big stewed with iron pot]: Why can you eat this thing yourself and recover your blood? Ahhhhhhhhh!
【Big stewed with iron pot】: Rescue
【Big stewed with iron pot】: OK, no need to save it
【Big stewed with iron pot】: I am dead too (sad)
【Big stewed with iron pot】: Crazy/crazy/
[Sweat soybeans]: Hahahahahaha, dish!
【Sweaty soybeans】: Your father is here
[Sweaty soybeans]: Let me taste the salty and light!
【…】:……
Thomas felt relieved when he saw that his teammates' mental state was still as stable as ever.
He chatted with his teammates, and the resurrection cooling time was over half, with only a few minutes left. But as he talked, after Alicia mentioned that there had been research on the "Abyss Beast" on the "Fangbeiyuan", Thomas seemed to remember something again, but he could not condense it.
Suddenly, some pictures flashed through his mind—
It was the ever-depleted fountain in the square of "Sacred Abyss".
"Spring of the Holy Abyss", the one guarding it is a terrifying giant wolf with deep purple flames all over it. [Earth Wolf King], which seems to be a "crazy evil" level monster. .
Before being promoted to the "Three Destiny Path", Thomas could only see his name.
However, after being promoted to the "Three-Level Fate Path", his "perception" attribute has been increased to more than 40 points. In his panel detection of the [Earth Wolf King], his race seemed to have also appeared. >
——It seems to be [Abyss Beast] too!
It is just a "contracted abyss beast", and the spiritual aura released from it is much deeper and richer than the "crazy" abyss beasts I just discovered.
And it is the beast of the "Lord of the Holy Abyss".
“…”
Grass, it doesn't mean the so-called "Ratama's disaster", refers to the Holy Abyss...
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Is this a wave of news caused by our "Sacred Abyss"?
Shengyuan is so awesome! .jpg
No, it seems that I didn’t see the ‘Apostle of the Holy Abyss’ here?
Just now, I returned to the Shengyuan King's Court to store equipment in the middle of the battle in the Acropolis. The movement inside seemed quite normal...
“…”
Thomas thought divergently about these.
He felt as if he had discovered a corner of the true face of the "Sacred Abyss", and he, who joined the "Church" and "Sacred Abyss", was only more and more excited.
If I remember correctly, since the giant wolf guarding the "Holy Abyss" is a "Contract Abyss Beast", then these monsters gushing out from the underground of the Acropolis should also be able to "Contract"?
Thomas thought.
The idea of catching those "absolute beasts" suddenly emerged in his heart, like catching Pokémon -
Because those monsters seem to be really strong, Thomas of the Iron Blood Strength Party can no longer help but have such thoughts.
But what kind of fate is that?
Uh, [Glory] is definitely not, is it [Red Lotus]?
Or [lost]? Not right...
“…”
Thomas thought about the eight known fate paths, and except for [balance], there seems to be no suitable one among the seven fate paths that players can choose.
I always feel that there is still some key information. I should go back to the "Sacred Abyss" to explore after being resurrected...
Anyway, every time I return to the "Holy Abyss", the [Earing Wolf King] is entrenched on the edge of the "Holy Abyss Spring". It should be seen at any time. Then I will throw it to it again to detect it.
At that time, you might be able to know more useful information...
Thomas thought to himself, and the countdown to his resurrection cooling was finally over.
When the panel pops up and asks [Whether to resurrect], Thomas chose "Yes" and chose the resurrection point on the "Wild White Hills" outside the Acropolis.
In fact, you can also choose the "nearby safety zone", but Thomas always feels that if he chooses this, he will probably be resurrected in the cracks in the ground where no monsters are blasted, and then he will never reach the ground.
After giving the panel the command to "resurrection", his consciousness floated up quickly at a vague speed, and white also floated in the dark hole where he finally fell. A silk thread woven with gray spirituality.
They dissolve in the air and fly quickly towards the "Wild White Hills".
Until Thomas opened his eyes again.
He finally felt like he had gained his flesh and blood body again. Looking at the scene around the "sleeping bag" he was lying on, he inexplicably felt like he was "scamdling a zombie" from the body bag.
But he can't control so much now.
He first opened the group chat panel of "Mirror of Glow", and then said, "Brother, I'm alive again!", and then closed the panel during the re-reading of a group of teammates "Welcome the Dragon King back to the throne".
Then, Thomas crawled out of the "sleeping bag" covered with soil, patted the soil on his body, and activated the mark of the Isol's Court heading to the "Holy Abyss".
...
The holy abyss is left behind in the royal court.
When Thomas returned here, the first thing he did was to rush to the "Arrival Manor"-
Because his spare weapons and equipment were stored there, and there was another "rune wing" there. Only after getting these could he return to the Acropolis to fight.
He ran to the manor, and when he passed by the "Spring of the Holy Abyss", Thomas looked over there.
The giant wolf, [Earth Wolf King], was still there, and Thomas detected it—
【Jind Wolf King (lv.5?)】
【Race: Monster/? /? 】
【Threat degree:? 】
【Health Point:? , Mana:? 】
【Physical Attack:? , Spell Attack:? , Defense Reduction:? 】
[Attribute: Strength? ,constitution? ,agile? ,wisdom? , divine? , Perception 142, Resistance 153, Lucky 101】
【…】
“…?”
No, buddy?
Thomas was stunned, and he suddenly realized - why did the results of the detection of [Jinde Wolf King] this time were all question marks!
Oh, not all -
Its level is 50+ - in Thomas' impression, it seems that the level shown in the last detection of [Earth Wolf King] was only about forty.
In just a few days, it has been more than ten levels?
What exactly is the race of the [Wolf King of Earing] that Thomas wants to see the most has become a question mark.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Thomas gritted his teeth.
However, in this comparison, if [Jind Wolf King] is really a "Abyss Beast", then it is really much stronger than the Abyss Beasts that attacked him before!
The attributes of the [Jinde Wolf King] that you can see are at least three digits, and the attributes you can't see are probably even more terrifying!
Damn it, it's so handsome... a handsome and strong wolf. If only I could be the "Lord of the Holy Abyss"...
By the way, has anyone developed a "console" in this game that can wear leather NPC vests?
Thomas thought to himself, before he could even notice that the corners of his mouth had already subconsciously drooled—
But it's just thinking about it.
He soon ran out of the square, ran to the "Arrival Manor", found the building belonging to their "church" guardians, and walked in.
When he returned to his room, Thomas quickly changed his spare weapons and equipment, then took the new "Runish Xiangyi", and activated the "Isol's Court Seal" again and teleported himself back to Go to the real world.
And when his vision returned to dimness and returned to the clear light,
He saw it in his eyes, and on the plain on the side of the Acropolis, there were lights of gold flowing overflowing-
Those are the "priests" of the church!
It was not only the comrades of the church, the general of the "Border Court", and the "Thunder General" Albert, also arrived, and behind him were thousands of elite cavalry.
The "bishop" Ross Carlos, who was riding on the back of the "golden horse" Pergasus, had risen to the height of the acropolis.
He looked down, staring at the "absolute beasts" that kept gushing out from the acropolis-
"That is the 'disaster' in the oracle!"
He declared in a loud voice, and his voice was so clear that even though the white hills where Thomas was located were far from him, he could tell every word he said.
"It appears to me like a sun in a moment, and now - this purgatory scene is also revealed to you!"
"My 'Saints' Guardians'! You have stripped of the disguise of disasters, and the rest can be handed over to us."
"Now, your only task is to protect yourself and guard the entrances and exits of various streets in the Acropolis of Latama, and do not let even a disaster escape the Acropolis!"
“…”
The bishop declared like this, and the players inside and outside the Acropolis were looking up at him.
Thomas was also a member of the "bishop".
And when the bishop's voice finally fell, new content appeared in front of Thomas and his panel at the same time-
[Trigger commissioned mission: Nightmare Ratama (Nightmare difficulty)]
[Recommended level: lv.20+, second-generation journey and above]
【Task Type: Delegated Task】
[Now, the "disaster" in Ratama City has truly declined. 】
[Your camp, the "bishop" of the Red Maple City Church, will give you a new instruction. As the "Sage Guardian", he hopes that you can guard all the streets in the Acropolis and do not allow even a "disaster" beast to escape from the Acropolis. This is the mission of the "Sage Guardian". 】
[Task Goal 1: Stationed on the streets of the city to prevent the "disaster" beasts from escaping from escaping from the city, and stick to the end of the first wave of disaster beasts (the escaped disaster beasts are less than 40% of the total number, which is considered to be completing the mission goal. Current escape: 0%)】
[Task Target 2: Kill the "disaster" beast that surges out from the earth crack as much as possible, and receive additional rewards depending on the killing completion]
[When the task goal is completed, the task can be settled]
