Chapter 372 Twin Nicole
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes.
Even if he beat Peter to death, he couldn't believe that Winnex, the old butler in the castle who had served the Countess for many years, could actually be a "phantom".
"Isn't this right?"
After the battle was over, Gale, who was panting heavily with his hands on his hips, was also stunned.
"Don't you mean that the magic of illusion can only "tamper with cognition", that it is all fake and will not actually appear in reality?"
"What's going on with Winnex?"
The doubts of the two people also represented the reactions of most believers present.
Don't mention anything else.
The believers who had died and returned to the altar of creation lying on the ground were very dissatisfied.
Can your illusion kill people?
Tampering with cognition can at best create the illusion that a person has been killed, while the real person in reality will still be alive and well.
But this is obviously not the case now.
Those who died in the battle were truly dead, the destiny points used for resurrection were also deducted, and everyone was wearing clothes at the altar of creation.
The illusion has real lethality, even an illusion whose strength reaches the level of a level 4 stalker!
If the so-called magic of illusion is so powerful, then everyone doesn't need to believe in any other gods. They might as well convert to the goddess of illusion together.
…
When Winnex's fallen "corpse" disappeared, something was left behind.
A brass key with a simple shape and a strange atmosphere.
Brandon stepped forward, bent down and picked up the key.
"Is this the key to the dungeon that the young master named Pet Twain mentioned?"
"You'll know after you try it."
The entrance to the dungeon had already been discovered by the stalkers who had sneaked into the castle to explore.
It was also at that place that they encountered the attack of Winnekes for the first time.
This time I went to the room on the west side of the castle again. When I arrived at the partition door, there was no new attack, and no new old butler appeared.
This gave Pete a huge sigh of relief.
One dangerous opponent like Winnex is enough.
There are more than 100 knowledge-seeking believers who consider themselves to be quite capable and participated in the attack on the countess' castle.
This group of people is undoubtedly the best among the current believers, at least they are quite rich in combat experience.
Those who were not very good at fighting and felt that they were not strong enough and could not make any difference if they went there basically stayed in Chimu Town, helping ordinary people in Ceylon, or cleaning up the wilderness in the surrounding areas. A wandering lone monster.
result.
Of these more than 100 believers, after the battle of Winnekes, only 22 people survived to the end.
This is the data that Peter has specially counted.
The old butler Winnex was like a ruthless screening mechanism.
Those who are not strong enough and lack self-protection, even if they can escape the test of a group [Sleeve Arrow Storm], they will not be able to cope with the second and third rounds that follow.
Those who can stay here at this moment are undoubtedly the best among the best in the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
The most powerful group of people who pioneered the strategy team.
Only they can kill a dangerous opponent like Winnex.
Of course, it is still extremely difficult to fight against.
If they were allowed to fight again immediately, even if they could win, Peter estimated that they would probably have to reduce their numbers by 5 or 6 more people to win.
It is impossible to solve it perfectly and without damage.
Fortunately, according to the intelligence provided by Pet Twain, they should not be far from completing the goal of this operation!
The next thing to do should be to use the key to open the dungeon, rescue Nicole Ceylon who is locked inside, and then stop the Countess with her help!
Peter held up the ancient brass key and approached the partition door reinforced by the secret rune lock. Sure enough, the strange smell on the key began to resonate wonderfully with the magic lock on the door.
"Click" sound.
Several rune patterns wrapped around the partition door like chains slowly disappeared.
The blockade was lifted.
As if being pulled by something, the partition door creaked open in front of everyone. Behind the door appeared a dark stone staircase leading underground.
"Lumos!"
Peter raised his hand and chanted a light ball of [Illumination Technique], and gently threw it downwards.
The bright light emitted by the light ball seemed to be swallowed by darkness. Although it could illuminate the environment, it could only illuminate a small part of its surroundings.
There was still darkness beyond.
"Let's go! Go down and rescue that Miss Nicole."
The will of the God of Knowledge is for them to stop the Countess of Ceylon in order to save the Goddess of Illusions.
Rescuing Nicole Ceylan is an indispensable step.
The one who walked at the front without hesitation became the figure of Shield Fighter again.
Followed closely by Brandon and two other warriors.
Together they form the front line of the team, ready to deal with any danger that may arise in the dark dungeon.
Mages such as Peter and Gale were located in the middle of the team to provide support.
The last ones left behind were the priests headed by Miranda, as well as the rangers who provided protection.
The stone steps extending downward are not very spacious, only enough for three people to pass side by side.
The mages chanted the light balls of [Illumination Technique] one after another to provide lighting for the team.
The steps are not long.
In less than a minute, the leaders of the soldiers suddenly became enlightened.
They had entered a spacious underground stone chamber.
There are no cell compartments or torture devices that are common in dungeons, so it looks very empty.
Deep in the stone chamber, one could vaguely see a girl kneeling on the ground, her arms held high by chains hanging from both sides, her head lowered, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.
Brandon was delighted to see this.
Although he has never met Nicole Ceylon.
But it didn't look like there was anyone else in the dungeon.
Then isn't this what they are looking for?
"Miss Nicole, is that you?"
Brandon called tentatively.
The girl with her head hanging down swayed slightly and seemed to react to the voice.
"Don't worry, we're here to get you out!"
Brandon added, and wanted to step forward to see how to untie the chain that bound the girl.
The moment he got close to the girl.
The other person's lowered head suddenly raised.
"Fake! What's going on!"
The expression on the girl's face scared Brandon to the point where he stopped on the spot and made a sound of horror.
Nicole Ceylan's face seemed to be divided in two in the middle at this moment, with completely different expressions on both sides.
There was an evil smile on the left cheek, and an anxious look on the right cheek.
It's obviously the same person, the same face.
But there are two completely opposite looks on it.
It's like there are two different souls existing in the same body at the same time.
The girl's red lips parted slightly.
In the same voice, two words with completely opposite meanings sounded at the same time.
"No one can interfere with Mother. Death here will be your inevitable outcome!"
"Heroes! Please, please help me!"
