Chapter 324 Ancient Black Dragon
The wriggling black tentacles and sharp teeth of the abyss parasitic beast were displayed in front of Brian and Caradna like countless blooming flowers, covering their field of vision.
"Boom, boom!..."
The whole tower began to shake.
On the ground around the altar surrounded by rich dark energy, ridges suddenly appeared. Then, countless tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around a priest wearing dark purple robes. Priestess Shar, with long black hair, pulled her down to the ground.
"Ah!..."
Priestess Shar screamed in horror, but it was useless. Dozens of tentacles composed of pure shadow energy still killed the terrified priestess. Deadly entangled, suspended in mid-air, hanging upside down from the tentacles.
"Tina, save me, save me, save me!!!..."
The priestess struggled crazily, trying to use all her strength to break away from these tentacles, but she couldn't It didn't succeed. On the contrary, those tentacles became more intense because of her resistance.
As for the other priests who heard the priestess calling for help, except for a few priestesses who were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their delicate bodies kept shaking, the others all looked on with cold eyes and looked at the bloody altar with pious expressions. .
Obviously, they had expected this to happen, or in other words, it could be seen from their pious eyes that they were waiting for this moment to come.
"Roar!"
As the abyss parasitic beast let out a slimy roar, a black pit next to the altar exuded a rancid smell, filled with thick black water, In an instant, it was like boiling water, boiling violently, and a strong dark aura rose up.
Only a few soft sounds were heard, and the clothes on the priestess Shar's body were torn as she screamed in despair.
"Everything is for the glory of the Lost Lady, your sacrifices are all worth it..."
The hoarse voice was only slightly higher than a whisper, but it seemed extremely loud in this chaotic atmosphere.
Seeing such a horrific scene and the screams of fear and despair, the sorceress Caradna, who was hiding in the shadows with Brian, turned her head palely.
Although she grew up in the Mage Tower in Susar, she has experienced many things since she went out on adventures, and even joined many adventure groups.
She is quite familiar with such things, and has seen some adventurers carrying drunken dancers upstairs in the tavern.
At the beginning, Caradna didn’t understand it very well, but as time went by, she gradually understood what it meant.
However, this was the first time she had seen such an explosive scene replaced by tentacles, and it really shattered her outlook on life.
"What is going on?" Caradna touched Brian's arm with her elbow and couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?"
She glanced at Brian and found that this guy was staring intently at the heavy flavor ceremony at the altar, and he was watching it with relish, which made her secretly complain: Men are really not good things.
Brian retracted his gaze, glanced at the sorceress beside him, and said to her, "This is a sacrificial ceremony for Shar Church to tear apart the magic web. Now one of the magic webs has been torn apart. Xiaokou, if you want to further expand the wound, you must convert the energy of the Shadow Demon Network into dirty shadow energy to gradually corrode it, and finally meet the tearing requirements."
"To put it simply, that's it. It's no different than rubbing salt into a wound." As he spoke, Brian noticed that the consciousness of the first priestess had begun to become blurry.
Her body arched upwards, stretched straight, her eyes rolled white, her mouth opened wide, but she could only make a swallowing sound.
As these tentacles condensed from the dark shadow energy quickly retreated, the priestess let out one last scream as if she was reflecting back on the light, and then she was thrown away like a puppet that had been played out in a storm. In the thick, rolling, violently boiling black water.
Then, came the second, the third, the fourth... until the two priestesses whose strength clearly reached the legendary realm.
Compared with other female priests, these two legendary priests looked very calm, and there was even a trace of expectation in their cold eyes. Their elegant steps when they took the initiative to walk towards the abyssal parasitic beast were as if they were participating in a game. A delightful banquet.
"Why don't they hide?" Caradna, who was gradually becoming numb to the scene in front of her, couldn't help but curiously asked.
Although she knew that what she asked seemed like nonsense, she couldn't help but ask.
"Because they are the most devout believers of the Lost Lady." Brian answered patiently, "Even if they die, their souls will enter the Kingdom of the Lost Lady. If the Shadow Demon Web really replaces the Demon Web , the souls of these priestesses who take the initiative to sacrifice will become part of the Shadow Demon Network, which is undoubtedly the best destination for fanatic believers like them."
At this moment, In the rolling and boiling puddle, traces of rich dark energy rose up, eventually transforming into a constantly rotating black vortex.
On the altar covered with thick red, like dried blood, the etched silver symbols and dark purple magic runes suddenly erupted with terrifying dark energy.
As the viscous black water in the pit rolled, surged and boiled crazily... streams of strong dark aura, like a whale sucking a cow's drink, quickly surged towards the vortex rising in the air. .
"Did you see it?" Brian pointed at the black vortex that was constantly shrinking, expanding, and rotating in the air, and said to Caradna:
"The place where this black vortex is connected is where the magic network was torn apart. The wound, and the thick black water in the deep pit is the dirty stuff mixed with the obscene breath and the energy of the Shadow Demon Network. As long as all the energy in the pool is sent into the wound of the Demon Network, then the black dragon on the other side will With the help of this energy, the entire Guangze Demonic Network will be completely torn apart, becoming the first area in the material plane to be replaced by the Shadow Demonic Network."
"Since you know so clearly, why. Still hiding here so patiently." Caradna nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the calm Brian with a puzzled face, "At this time, shouldn't we rush out and stop them? ?”
“You are stupid.” Brian glanced at her and then at the last haunted legendary priestess.
Her eyes rolled white, and her slender body was trembling violently, like a piece of rag hanging on a tree branch in a storm and swaying wildly, "With the strength of the two of us, we are brainless at this time. To rush out is no different than to die.”
"Wait a moment." He glanced at the Abyss Parasitic Beast and said calmly, "When the last female priest is completely killed, we will rush out. In this case, there will only be one Abyss Parasite enemy we face. Beast."
In fact, it was a bit tricky for the two of them to face an abyssal parasitic beast, let alone face a priestess whose strength reached the legendary realm.
In this case, it was natural to wait for the obscene sacrifice ceremony to end and take advantage of the moment when the black vortex was frantically absorbing energy. Then the two of them suddenly appeared and killed the abyss parasitic beast stationed here.
While waiting patiently, in just a moment, in this tall tower like a cave tunnel, the strong smell of blood and fishy smell spread from the thick black puddles and filled every corner. .
Even the ground beneath Brian and Caradna's feet no longer existed, turning into a carpet of rotten flesh, and it was still trembling slightly as if it was alive.
What is even more eye-catching is the front.
The size of the abyss parasitic beast has become as tall as the entire large hollow, like a huge piece of meat, standing contentedly within the reach of their sight.
With the help of the deep purple light erupting from the altar, Brian could easily see clearly the crawling crimson skin and putrid flesh of the abyssal parasitic beast, with countless tentacles on it. Passed quickly.
But the most surprising thing is the streak of white embedded in the middle of the huge piece of meat.
“Oh my god, it’s so unbearable to watch.”
Caradna grabbed Brian's arm tightly with both hands and stared there with wide eyes.
What caused the sorcerer lady to react so violently was the body fused into the red flesh.
The last priestess, whose strength has reached the legendary realm, is naked at the moment, and her limbs have been completely swallowed up in pieces of flesh.
Her eyes were wide open, but there was only a blank inside, without any emotion or soul.
“It’s really evil, terrible and unforgivable.”
Caradna's delicate body trembled. On the surface, she seemed to have recovered without any fluctuations, but the white knuckles of the hands holding Brian's arms showed the indignation of the warlock lady very well. mood.
“Get ready to fight!” Brian’s voice brought Caradna back to consciousness after she had fallen into a brief trance. At this moment, the two of them heard a squeaking sound that was not unfamiliar at the same time. .
"We have been exposed!" Karadna immediately realized the problem.
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of demon beetles as big as cats and with bat-like wings appeared from the darkness in all directions and ran towards the two of them.
Brian is no stranger to this group of bugs. They have fast speeds and sharp claws. The only flaw is that their bodies are very fragile.
——"Alien Oath·Tianjie Mountain!"
A dazzling golden light intertwined into a summoning circle, and several Archon gods exuding sacred light were summoned here from Tianjie Mountain by Brian.
"The favored person of Tianjie Mountain, the Holy Sword God Reginaus...huh?"
A majestic voice sounded, and before the greeting was finished, this person exuded a rough The crazy and beautiful male angel noticed what was going on here.
“It turned out to be an abyss parasitic beast?” Angry holy flames suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Holy Sword Divine Envoy, revealing the purest disgust for evil creatures.
"Dirty devil, accept purification! The soul of any fallen person will be imprisoned in the prison of the seventh heaven forever!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Sword Divine Envoy and the five people standing behind him The bodies of the garrison envoy and the three Night Owl envoys suddenly erupted with scorching sacred flames.
Walls of light filled with sacred aura emerged, and the scorching air waves were a hundred times more intense than the midday sun, spreading in the surrounding space.
Even Brian could faintly feel his face being burned, but compared to his own feelings, the reaction of the bugs was more violent. They were unable to stop themselves, like moths. He threw himself towards the bright flame and was instantly purified and evaporated.
The battle is about to begin.
Karadna, the Night Raid Archangel and the Guard Archangel, under Brian's orders, engaged in the battle to clean up the demon beetles.
And Brian motioned to the Holy Sword God to attack the abyssal parasitic beast with him.
"Roar...!!"
Faced with the two men's attack, the abyss parasitic beast opened its mouth and roared. No one could tell whether it was because of pain, anger, or something else. What reason.
However, these are no longer important to Brian.
On the contrary, just as the abyss parasitic beast roared, he had already moved, activated the flash technique, and appeared in front of it without any warning.
Not far behind him, the arms of the Holy Sword God were instantly transformed into two lightsabers with sacred and flaming attributes. The whole person burst into blazing flames and turned into a Meteor follows closely behind.
The abyss parasitic beast raised countless tentacles and drew them towards Brian and the Holy Sword God.
Especially the latter, as an abyss demon of the evil camp, it is logically impossible for it to tolerate the existence of such dazzling divine brilliance.
Facing the tentacles whistling with the sound of wind, Brian turned sideways and swung his long sword upwards. The blue and white flames flashed, accompanied by the screams of the abyss parasitic beasts, and all those who tried to approach him The tentacles were cut off one after another, fell to the ground, squirmed wildly, and were eventually burned to ashes.
The Holy Sword Divine Envoy is also fully prepared. After all, good and evil always restrain each other. To deal with the attack of the abyss parasitic beast, he only needs a protective evil full of divine energy to instantly bounce all the tentacles away. They rushed towards Brian, as if venting their anger at the failed attack. Seeing this scene, Brian cursed secretly, danced with a sword light, cut off the tentacles close to his body, then distanced himself, and quickly recited a spell.
——"Nine-ring spell: Ice Explosion!"
With the surge of arcane energy, the air around him immediately dropped to freezing point.
Subsequently, sharp swords formed from ice emerged from Brian's side, whizzing forward as he moved.
In an instant, dozens of ice swords pierced into the body of the abyssal parasitic beast. Not only that, the icy cold air quickly extended from the sword, covering its body with a thick layer of white frost. , making it look like it was made of water, its movements quickly became stiff and solidified, and even the tentacles that were originally waving hit the ground heavily.
At the same time, the two arm blades of the Holy Sword God condensed amazing sacred flames and swung them down with force.
Suddenly, the light condensed on the sword was released immediately, turning into an unparalleled giant hammer, hitting the body of the abyss parasitic beast heavily, and the burst of sacred flames made it let out a shrill wail. , even the priestess embedded in the flesh screamed in pain.
“——!!”
Suffering the huge pain caused by the double blow of ice and fire, the abyss parasitic beast howled angrily. It opened its bloody mouth and softly Tentacles shot out from the inside, spraying poisonous green juice.
Brian's body suddenly became blurred and disappeared, then suddenly appeared behind the abyss parasitic beast, waving the long sword in his hand.
The sword erupted with blue and white flames, easily piercing the body of the abyssal parasitic beast, and the energy condensed on it also exploded at this moment.
The violent shock wave tore apart the huge body of the parasitic beast, opening a large hole more than one meter wide in it. From the wound, demon beetles the size of a palm were ejected, and they twisted He moved and tried to open his mouth with small sharp teeth, trying in vain to bite anything he came into contact with to extend his life.
But they soon screamed and burned in the holy light of the Holy Sword God, turning into little flames and falling to the ground, which actually added a bit of normal beauty to this dark and evil space.
At the same time, Karadna, who cleared some demon beetles, also joined the battle.
Along with the wild magical energy, the sorceress's long hair was raised, and the chaos spheres condensed and formed, hitting the body of the abyss parasitic beast like a storm, spreading wounds corroded by the deep purple energy.
——"The radiance explodes!"
A stream of radiance carrying celestial energy was released by the Guard God and the Night Owl God at almost the same time.
The dazzling rays of light converged together, covering the huge body of the abyss parasitic beast condescendingly, like a waterfall of noise, and in the roar, the parasitic beast was enveloped in sacred flames.
“Remember your mission, Reginaus.”
Brian whispered, and the Holy Sword Divine Envoy beside him nodded, and then crossed his two arm blades on his chest, observing the surrounding situation carefully.
Although the abyss parasitic beast in front of him seemed to be beaten by them and had no power to fight back, the reality was not as beautiful as imagined. Brian knew very well that if he wanted to completely kill the parasitic beast, he could only Destruction from within.
After whispering the order to the Holy Sword God, Brian immediately flew up with him, left the ground, and rushed towards the abyss parasitic beast.
Caradna and the garrison gods frantically poured out their attack spells to suppress the attacks of the abyssal parasitic beasts and buy time for the two of them.
“——!!”
Feeling the pain of the overwhelming magic hitting his body, the demon let out a roar that was enough to frighten the middle and low-level professionals to death. Then all the tentacles around him lifted up, like flexible poisonous snakes. He threw himself at the two people flying over.
Brian was wrapped in the teleportation energy surged by the flash technique and disappeared in an instant.
The moment he flashed several times in succession and appeared in front of the abyss parasitic beast from the gaps between countless tentacles, he immediately swung his sword forward without mercy.
One after another, energy mixed with chaos and cursed fire emerged from the sword body, turning into torrents and shooting downwards.
Teared apart by dozens of terrifying energy, the originally tough outer skin of the abyss parasitic beast was soon blasted with a huge wound, and the bright red tender flesh trembled and cracked inside, revealing the deeper darkness inside. .
The final blow!
Brian's eyes narrowed slightly. The mixed energy on the sword had been condensed and compressed to the limit by him. Then, under his deliberate guidance, it trembled like a beast about to be released from the cage. He couldn't wait to release this unparalleled power. Destructive force.
At this moment, a snow-white figure suddenly stood in front of Brian.
I saw the Shar priestess, whose strength had reached the legendary realm, who was originally embedded in the piece of flesh, looking at him with dull eyes, desperately reaching out to try to get his help.
“Please...save me...I don’t want to die...”
While the priestess was pleading, a tentacle suddenly appeared from her mouth, opened its sharp teeth, and viciously pounced on Brian.
At this time, Brian, who was not affected in any way, did not hesitate to throw the star sword in his hand, which was condensed from arcane energy and blessed with chaos and cursed fire energy.
The long sword shining with blue and white flames seemed to fall from the sky at this moment. A fleeting meteor burst out and penetrated the head of the priestess, piercing the torn wound of the abyssal parasitic beast with force. .
For a moment, an obvious light appeared on the originally filthy dark red meat, like a beacon that ignited explosives.
“Now!”
Brian quickly issued an order, and then with a stroke of his right hand, three bottles filled with holy water that resembled gelatin were thrown into the torn wound of the abyssal parasitic beast through his telekinesis ability.
The Holy Sword God envoy suddenly vibrated his red glowing wings, and the shining divine light surged around his body, making him like an arrow of light from the string, aiming at the dark and deep wound of the abyss parasitic beast, and penetrated deep into it.
At that moment, the devil fell into silence.
But then, the screams suddenly started.
The twisted, high-pitched screams sound enough to make people dizzy, as if thousands of souls are suffering in the flames of the bottomless abyss.
The fat piece of meat began to tremble irregularly and explode, accompanied by filthy blood spurting out, and rays of holy and dazzling light shone from the inside of the demon.
"Quickly retreat!"
Seeing that the Holy Sword Divine Envoy had ignited the holy water and rushed out of the abyss parasitic beast in time, Brian immediately opened the portal and led everyone Get away from this place together.
“——!!”
At this moment, the most terrifying explosion occurred.
A bright and hot pillar of fire rose from the ground, erupted from the demon's mouth and shot straight into the sky. The earth began to tremble uncontrollably, gravel fell downwards, and huge stalactites exploded under the action of the shock wave and fell to the ground.
For a time, dust was flying everywhere, and the diffuse dust enveloped the entire Yinhun Tower.
At the same time, inside a fortress on a cliff.
The dark study room is illuminated by the diffuse green cold light, and two black and white tapestries are decorated on the wall.
The first picture uses simple lines to describe all the races in the world: humans, elves, dwarves... demons, golems... all creatures are prostrate on the ground, facing a huge black wheel in the sky Tribute to the disc.
The second picture shows a steep and rugged cliff under a starry night sky, with strange-shaped buildings and trees growing intertwined. The edges of the tapestry are embroidered with scenes of the full moon and lunar eclipse on both sides.
The ancient black dragon Despiel - his skin flashed with purple runes, and a thumb-sized... fragment was tied around his neck with a copper chain.
He was crawling in a dark purple circle in the center of the room, and in the air above was a black vortex that was constantly rotating...
A row of cages hung on the wall beside him , each cage contains a ragged humanoid.
The cage is so small that it can barely hold a normal human being, so the people in the cage huddle up helplessly.
The vortex above the black dragon's head constantly extracts wisps of blue-white energy from their bodies, injecting it into the black vortex and disappearing...
This is Despier's lifelong career.
From the day he was born, what he instinctively wanted to do... was this ritual.
He will not back down, nor give up, until he fights to the death.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, the entire fortress felt a faint shaking feeling. On the coffee table next to the seat, there were obvious ripples in a cup of tea exuding waves of mist.
The black dragon Despier, who was crawling on the ground, raised his head, stared at the constantly rotating black vortex, and murmured to himself, "It seems that the ceremony below has been interrupted."
" Okay, I admit that I underestimated you, but you are actually capable of killing parasitic beasts."
His face was as ferocious as a skeleton, with no emotion at all. He just stretched out his paws and stroked them around his neck. The pendant, while muttering to himself: "But that's it."
"Sarabak." The black dragon shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying creature flew to the center of the room.
There are six tentacles growing from his mouth. His head looks like an octopus, but his body looks like a humanoid creature. He is wearing a somewhat shabby black robe.
This creature looks like some kind of evil alien.
"The ceremony will be completed soon." The black dragon stared at the black whirlpool and ordered him:
"You and your people will be responsible for stopping these two intruders. A hole big enough to cover the entire swamp would be opened in the net, and all the magic they have would be useless.”
"As you command, my master." The shadow bowed humbly and disappeared in an instant.
