Chapter 337 Unexpected Discovery
“Stupid spell caster, do you really think these broken tentacles can trap me?”
While Brian was preparing the legendary spell, the struggling orc A cold light suddenly appeared in Manlason's blood-red pupils, and then a strong dark energy spurted out from his body. The impact was so powerful that even the ground was cracked by the terrifying power.
With a roar, the half-orc's already majestic body began to swell, and terrifying muscles and ferocious veins emerged. Amidst bursts of crackling and exploding sounds, his body grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. cut.
Countless tentacles tightly wrapped around him. In the surging terrifying energy, it was as if they saw something terrifying. They all moved away from the orc's body like an electric shock, collapsed in the void, and disappeared.
Bits and pieces of divine radiance emerged.
The half-orc's burly and majestic body is wrapped in an almost invisible pale golden divine barrier. Just a glance gives people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
If you look closely, you can even find that as his body suddenly rises, the wound just left by Brian has long been sealed by tough muscles. It has clearly been pierced through the heart, but it seems insignificant at the moment. of scars.
“Go to hell!!!”
Looking at Brian, who was still standing calmly casting spells, the half-orc was angry for no reason, and his clear eyes once again He was replaced by Chi Hong, who raised his heavy battle ax and struck hard at the hard ground.
"Boom!"
Following Brian's direction, a heavy tomahawk the size of a door panel hit the ground. The floor of the hall rippled like calm water being broken, and a deep crack appeared. Immediately, the buildings around Brian collapsed, and dust with countless debris fell from the ceiling, filling the air with the terrifying smell of broken rocks.
Looking at the results of the battle he had caused, the half-orc's blood-red eyes immediately penetrated the dust and locked on Brian's figure.
In his opinion, his attack was enough to interrupt the spell prepared by the opponent.
However, when he saw the opponent's unharmed figure, he suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression. Not only did his attack not interrupt the spell casting, but the spell being released by the opponent was about to be prepared, so that even the air seemed to be filled with Arousing a heart-stopping energy.
After realizing this situation, the half-orc's face changed slightly. Although he looked lively and vigorous at the moment, he was just using the divine power given by the Dark Lord to provide final support. If the time limit expired, he would immediately fall into an extremely weak state. , by that time, even a civilian with a pitchfork can kill him.
He picked up the heavy battle ax without hesitation and rushed towards Brian.
At this moment, a large pale blue light suddenly appeared in front of the Orc, blocking his way. Just when he was confused by it, a whistling sound broke through the air, and a The dark blue tail, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, was like a powerful whip, striking hard at the orc's divine barrier that was caught off guard.
Although he was unscathed in the face of this attack, the powerful impact involved his injuries, causing him to open his mouth and spit out blood. The intense pain rushed straight to his brain, making him almost faint. He was tall and tall. His body also flew backwards.
With the help of strong inertia, the Orc lifted the heavy battle axe. When his body was about to hit the wall, he instantly took over control of his body and stepped hard on the wall with his legs, leaving two cracks. After making a dent, he jumped up again, raised his battle ax high, and struck down at a dragon-skeleton golem that had just attacked him.
"Bang!"
With a loud and ear-piercing sound like heavy metal smashing glass, it appeared in the spacious underground hall, flapping its wings and rising into the air. The dragon skeleton golem that tried to block the way was unable to stop it. The wings were directly hit by the battle axe, and the majestic force exploded, slamming its huge dragon body to the ground like a cannonball.
The moment the dragon body of the Dragon Skeleton Golem, shining with crystal luster, was hit on the ground, dense cracks appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The left wing, as the center point of stress, was hit hard. It was chopped down to only the bones inside, as if it would break at any time.
The Orc didn't care to appreciate his success, and once again locked onto Brian, who was not far away from him. The distance between the two was obviously only a hundred meters, and they could reach it in an instant.
But at this moment, it seemed out of reach for him.
Just as he was about to move, a fierce psychic energy hit his mind again like a heavy hammer, causing his body to freeze suddenly and freeze in place again.
Then he saw a fist-sized spiritual crystal servant with a cat's head, standing on a suspended sharp sword, with black onyx eyes full of mockery, and a touch of psychic energy floating through it. In the moment of light and mist, countless sharp swords appeared out of thin air, like a sudden storm, overwhelmingly flooding the orcs.
——"Advanced Roaring Technique!"
Feeling the provocative eyes of the Spirit Crystal Servant, the Orc roared angrily, a wild roar sounded, and the terrifying sound waves shook the air. Circles of ripples were created that could shatter hard rocks. The sword rain in the sky was shattered without any surprise, turning into little rays of light and dissipating in the air.
Even Brian was slightly affected by the orc's sonic attack, and instantly automatically activated a protective sound wave triggering technique he had set up in advance, resisting it without any danger.
At the same time, with the delay of the Dragon Skeleton Golem and the Spirit Crystal Servant, the legendary spell prepared by Brian was finally charged.
As the last incomprehensible but powerful spell came out, the moment he pointed the staff at the orc, a seemingly invisible breath bursting out, but containing majestic energy. In an instant, the space around the orc seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, frozen in place.
——"Legendary Spell: Luxurious Dispel Magic!"
A pale golden light emerged, like a warm breeze, blowing over the orc's body, and the god suddenly enveloped him. The sexual shield melted like ice and snow at a rapid speed.
The half-orc's body, swollen by the violence, was like a deflated rubber ball, shrinking visibly to the naked eye. Even the flashing magic aura on the heavy battle ax in his hand was extinguished in an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, the half-orc Manrazon turned into an extremely weak, shaky and seriously injured person. The blood hole in his chest was like a faucet, spewing out shocking red and black blood.
Seeing the effects of the legendary spell, Brian nodded with satisfaction.
As he expected, this spell is by no means an ordinary dispersion magic, and even compared with the same type of legendary spells, it is not inferior at all.
Because it was given directly to him by Azuth, the God of Spells, he could easily learn it without spending time, energy, or resources.
The reason for this is naturally inseparable from the powerful power of the True God. After he mastered the legendary spell, he had already noticed that this spell unexpectedly contained a trace of the God of Mage. of divine power.
In this case, facing the orcs, the barrier given to him by the Dark Lord Bane is definitely the most effective.
After all, only divine power can effectively target divine power.
On the other side, the Orc, who was instantly knocked back to his original shape, immediately felt severe pain surging like a tide, and his consciousness was constantly slipping away. His eyelids were as hard to lift as if they were hanging from a heavy weight. , the dark judge from the dark trade network broke into a cold sweat and quickly bit the tip of his tongue, letting the pain stimulate his senses and restore his calmness.
Then, he quickly activated the password for a magical equipment hidden in his chest. This was a one-time life-saving item given to him by Bozor, the elector of the Dark Lord, before he set off from Zhentil Castle. It could help He broke any space blockade and appeared in the place he had set in advance.
As the prop was activated, the orc, who was weak and about to fall on his back, was suddenly enveloped in a strange and solid black mist. After dodging Brian's deadly spell, he disappeared. In the spacious hall.
Seeing the half-orc Manrazon disappearing through a life-saving teleportation spell, Brian's calm and calm expression did not reveal too many surprises, as if he didn't care at all that the other party would escape. But that doesn't mean he'll let the cooked duck fly away.
Brian stood there, meditating slightly, tracking through psychic teleportation, and his mind instantly locked onto the position of the orc, and immediately disappeared on the spot through teleportation spells.
Under the pale moonlight, what appeared in front of the half-orc Manlason was a desolate and dilapidated ruins in the Valley of Shadows.
This is where the Sage Elminster of Shadow Valley once lived. After he was attacked by the assassins of Shade City, his tower was destroyed by the explosion and turned into ruins, leaving only scorched remains. The base of the tower, as well as some broken and blackened stones.
The extremely weak orc was panting violently, and the blood on his chest was still gurgling uncontrollably, but he didn't care. He just held the battle ax with difficulty, stood up, straightened his back, and looked around vigilantly. For a brief moment, the dim space around him was slightly distorted, and then a light blue teleportation light suddenly appeared.
Seeing this situation, the Dark Judge of the Dark Intelligence Network immediately guessed with his rich combat experience that this was definitely the spell caster who tracked it here through some kind of spell.
After confirming that it was correct, not only did the orc not panic, but there was a hint of joy in his fierce eyes.
He chose this place as the location for his life-saving props. It was not a random choice, but a carefully considered choice.
After all, a terrible battle once took place here.
When the Sage of Shadow Valley used Silver Fire to attack the High King of Shadow City, Telamante, it was because Telamante was a ghost creature transformed by the Lost Lady through the energy of the Shadow Weave, and the Silver Fire represented the essence of the Weave. of energy.
The big explosion caused by the encounter of these two substances directly opened a gap in the Nine Hells of Baator. Although the space here has been forcibly closed from the interior of Baator Hell by Elminster, it caused As a result, the outside has not been completely repaired, causing any teleportation spell here to be delayed for varying amounts of time.
Seeing the twisted teleportation circle gradually appearing in his sight, the half-orc's mouth unconsciously evoked a sneer. He forcibly raised his spirits and tightened his grip on the battle ax in his hand.
The moment Brian's figure emerged at an abnormal speed, the orcs glared, roared at the top of their lungs, raised their giant axes, and faced him without hesitation.
In the underground hall of Kragg Castle, the moment he learned that he could not defeat the spell caster, he thought of this method, so after being hit by the legendary spell, he deliberately showed a look of weakness on the verge of death. state.
In fact, as a devout believer of the Dark Lord, in addition to being able to release the divine barrier to protect himself, he also hides another divine power, and this power brings powerful attack power.
With the sound of whistling piercing the air, the orc's heavy battle ax suddenly burst out with a golden light representing divine power, which seemed to be mixed with a power that destroyed the world and spread towards the surroundings. Come on.
The heavy battle ax shrouded in pale golden light roared out, carrying a powerful force, and struck down on Brian's body, which had just escaped from the twisted space and emerged from the teleportation circle.
As the attack hit, he saw that the enemy's temporary defensive barriers were shattered layer by layer under his powerful attack. As soon as a smile appeared on the corner of the orc's mouth, his face froze again.
At this moment, his mood was as if he had fallen straight from heaven to hell without any hindrance.
"It turned out to be a simulacra technique!!!"
Looking at the enemy's body twisting and dissipating like solid energy, and exuding hot and violent energy, the dark judge of the dark intelligence network was filled with the glory of victory. His eyes were instantly replaced by fear and despair, and he couldn't help but curse out, "Fuck me..."
However, before he could finish his words, he triggered the attack of simulacra. The spell was engulfed by the roaring flames, and the bright firelight made it seem like a large fire cloud was burning around the ruined tower.
On the other side, seeing the reminder of gaining experience, a smile appeared on Brian's lips unconsciously. Tricks like those of the half-orcs were already outdated for him.
In the past, he not only experienced many unlucky experiences in the game, he was even very good at this method.
Therefore, when the orc escaped, he almost thought out of conditioned reflex that there was definitely a trick here, so he did not rush to catch up. Instead, he used simulacra to create a clone of himself and added attack spells. Then, let it be sent over.
Obviously, this dark judge of the Dark Trade Network really had a hand in his game. If he was really careless because of this, he might be overturned on the spot.
After the battle, Brian waved his hand and put away the Psychic Crystal Servant that was still there chattering endlessly and the Dragon Skeleton Golem that looked like it was about to be scrapped.
With his current ability, the strength of the Dragon Skeleton Golem can no longer keep up with him. When there is enough time, he must find a way to modify it properly.
With the death of the Dark Judge, Brian's mission to explore the underground of the castle became much smoother. Within ten minutes, he found the secret room where Manrazon lived.
Two oil lamps and two braziers kept this luxurious room warm. In the lower left corner of the room was a four-legged bed. There was a brazier at the foot of the bed, and an oil lamp and a stove were placed on the bedside table. This book - "How to Develop the Cause of Faith Under the Guidance of the Great, Glorious and Right Benn", in the upper left corner is a very luxurious wardrobe made of Zalanta wood.
In the center of the right side of the room is a writing desk with another oil lamp placed on it.
Quill pens, inkwells, seals, and countless books and parchments are scattered on the table, which record the supply status of Shadow Valley, letters from high priests, equipment requirements, reinforcement plans, etc. ...
On the left side of the desk is an exquisite bookshelf with a glass door. All the books here should have been snatched from the Valley of Shadows. After Brian carefully organized them, he suddenly found them in a very thin book. An unexpected piece of information was discovered in the book.
The information recorded above interested him very much: 1358DR in the Valley Calendar, a year of turmoil, also known as the year of the famous Saint Catastrophe.
In another main material plane world called 'Earth'.
An adventurer codenamed ‘N’ collected various knowledge and deeds in Faerûn from the sage Elminster in the Valley of Shadows, and eventually disappeared.
Seeing this news, Brian was so shocked that he almost dropped the book to the ground.
If his memory is correct, the code name of the creator of the high-tech game that he played in the real world, which is said to transcend the era, also seems to be 'N'.
This is obviously no coincidence.
"It seems that only Elminster himself knows about this matter." Brian whispered to himself, and then collected all the books and precious items in the room.
He didn't waste any more time, kept the matter in mind, and began to look for the dungeon where Azala was held.
