Chapter 406 Showdown
The Snakeman High Priest, who was forced to retreat into a corner, was not as embarrassed as Brian imagined, even though his scales were as hard as steel and covered with various deep visible bones. There were scratches and burn marks from the magic flames, but it didn't show any signs of depression, and it still looked full of energy.
What surprised Brian the most was that the phantom of the giant snake behind the Snakeman High Priest became increasingly clear as the battle intensified, and even faintly exuded a faint divine radiance.
This made him realize that in this world where the gods have great power, any chosen person in the material world cannot be underestimated.
It would be very scary if he was pushed into a hurry and directly called out the incarnation of the gods. After all, the chosen people are the best carriers of the incarnations of the gods.
Although the price paid for coming is too heavy for the gods, it does not mean that others cannot do it.
So, in order not to drive him into a panic, Brian immediately suppressed his eagerness to launch an attack. Instead, he calmed down and silently observed the snake-man high priest.
Then, he began to secretly accumulate magic, and as soon as the opponent showed a flaw, he would immediately give him a thunder blow.
The Snakeman High Priest, who was beaten back by the storm, his expression suddenly sank when he saw that the Abyss Snakeman he summoned was also beaten by the sudden appearance of the ancient brass dragon and was unable to fight back.
He originally thought that he could use the power of the snake god Marshak to pull the human mage into the abyss of the snake cave in the realm of law in an instant, and then take the lead in getting rid of him as quickly as possible. .
In this way, when facing the Magic Goddess Chosen alone, even if you are not the opponent's opponent, you can advance and retreat with ease.
After all, the opponent is not a real spell caster and cannot easily restrict his actions.
However, what made him unbelievable was that this human mage was actually able to become immune to his Snake Cave Abyss and avoid his long-planned fatal blow.
Then an ancient brass dragon appeared and completely disrupted his plan.
The Snakeman High Priest, who was well aware of his situation, glanced around him coldly, and found that the human mage who had already freed his hands, not only did not rush to take action, but stood there, staring at him eagerly.
Seeing this, he, who had lived for thousands of years, instantly understood what the other person was thinking at this moment.
Then, a look of determination suddenly flashed in his cold snake eyes.
Knowing that he was outmatched, the snake-man high priest Abun not only did not retreat, but a touch of madness emerged in his cold and ruthless snake eyes.
“If you dare to violate my Lord’s holy land, then accept the punishment of the snake god Masak!”
In an instant, with an angry roar, the snake man high priest was lifted up by him The long-handled trident seemed to be injected with endless evil energy, becoming sharp and indestructible.
Immediately afterwards, the giant snake silhouette suspended behind him suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light. In a short moment, everyone around him subconsciously closed their eyes, not daring to meet its sharp edge.
The moment the golden light dissipated, the phantom of the giant snake disappeared, completely merging with the scarred Snakeman High Priest.
Although his huge snake body is getting bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, his quick and agile skills have not diminished at all.
The trident, which exuded divine brilliance and contained terrifying evil energy, rushed in front of Brian and Storm in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the surprise attack by the Snake High Priest, the defensive force field that Brian was so proud of only lasted for less than half a second before it shattered, and then his clone was left in place through the Real Mirror Technique. Crush directly.
Although Brian had predicted and used the Mirror Image Technique in advance to avoid this fatal attack, he still broke out in a cold sweat afterwards. He did not expect that this snake-man elect could burst out with such terrifying power.
On the other side, although Storm successfully resisted the attack of the Snakeman High Priest with his long sword, the crisp and exciting sound of metal clashing with each other was followed by a deafening explosion and an out-of-control magical energy. He threw them both away at the same time.
The terrible impact directly caused most of the underground passage to collapse. The leader of the Harpers who was caught off guard was unable to dodge in time and was buried in the dust of the collapse.
However, the snake-man high priest was safe and sound under the blessing of divine power. After he was forced back for more than ten meters, his huge snake body suddenly straightened up and he took control of his body again.
Seemingly understanding that Brian, as a spell caster, is the weakest and most feared enemy among Brian's group, the snake-man high priest roared, and his agile snake body quickly glided towards Brian like a shadow. In front of him, he then raised his trident and unleashed an angry thorn with a twisting force, like a fierce arrow leaving the string.
Although this attack was not as powerful as the previous explosion, Brian still did not dare to be careless and continued to use the defensive force field to resolve the attack while using the flash technique to dodge.
I saw the crazy-looking snake-man high priest waving the trident that exuded evil aura, turning into bursts of swords and sword shadows, colliding like raindrops on the barrier that shone with magic around Brian.
Such a violent attack with such thunder and lightning, if it is an ordinary legendary spell caster,
let alone casting spells to resist, even the thought of escaping will not come up, and his life will be in danger. .
Brian is naturally an exception. Even though he cannot release counterattack magic, the golden dragon shadow hidden in the arcane fire is not a decoration.
When Brian used the flashing technique to avoid the fatal blow of the trident and briefly distanced himself from the snake-man high priest, the golden dragon Paralandax finally caught the opportunity and suddenly turned into a huge golden dragon shadow. He opened his mouth and said A legendary spell "Nonar Fireball".
The violent fireball spurted out like a substance, wrapped in violent energy, like a roaring dragon, and crashed directly into the Snakeman High Priest who was pursuing him at a fast speed.
The Snakeman High Priest, who was unable to dodge, obviously also noticed the destructive power contained in this violent fireball. His ferocious expression suddenly changed at first, then stopped where he was, holding up the trident in his hand, and roared piously and crazily. : "My Lord Marshak!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling bright light suddenly appeared, invisible and qualitative, chaotic and violent enough to rival the scorching flames of the will of the bottomless abyss, emerging out of thin air, blocking the way. On the fireball that was essentially like a meteorite.
When the two energies collided, everyone was surprised that there was no horrific explosion as imagined. Brian's fireball seemed to fall into the deep and boundless waves. It was swallowed up instantly, and there was no splash at all.
Just when this fleeting first wave of confrontation was temporarily over, the Snakeman High Priest, whose whole body shone with a faint divine light, launched another attack without mercy.
With the sound of gold and iron clashing, the snake-man high priest who was about to charge towards Brian was suddenly blocked by the ancient brass dragon falling from the sky in time.
The trident of the Snakeman High Priest stabbed the brass dragon in the chest, but not only failed to penetrate the flesh, but was blocked by an invisible protective barrier that could be propped up, protecting the giant dragon impregnably. . At the same time, the storm surrounded by silver-white flames stood on the back of the brass dragon at some point.
The silver fire surrounding the body is maintaining the impregnable barrier of the brass dragon.
A high-pitched dragon roar sounded. The Brass Dragon seized the opportunity and swept away the Snakeman High Priest with a sweep of its tail. Then it opened its bloody mouth to the limit, and the bright dragon's breath suddenly condensed and formed in its throat, rolling endlessly. .
Immediately afterwards, a dragon's breath that was hot enough to evaporate everything around him spurted out from the brass dragon's mouth like a flamethrower, directly submerging the Snakeman High Priest in the dragon's breath flames.
Seeing that the storm and the brass dragon had withstood the attack of the snake man high priest, Brian was secretly relieved.
Obviously, the feeling of being madly attacked by the snake voters just now is not pleasant.
"You can't kill him." Just when Brian was about to prepare the spell, the old voice of Seth's clone suddenly passed through the Holy Emblem to Brian's mind:
"This snake priest has contacted the poisonous snake Marshak through his identity as a chosen one. In a few moments, the incarnation of the poisonous snake Marshak will come, and then you will be in danger."
After listening to Seth's clone's words, Brian subconsciously glanced towards the battlefield.
He discovered that although the Snakeman High Priest was beaten to a pulp and retreated continuously under the joint attack of the Brass Dragon and the Storm, the pale golden light shining around him disappeared as the attack became more and more intense. Gradually becomes richer.
There is no doubt that this pale golden light symbolizes divine power, a power that mortals cannot match.
Even if the snake god Marshak is just an evil god with weak divine power, once his incarnation comes, it is not an existence that Brian and others can touch casually.
If he is not careful, as the weakest among the three, he is very likely to overturn here.
"What do you mean?" Glancing at the snake-man high priest whose golden light was getting thicker, Brian did not dare to waste time and quickly communicated with Seth's clone.
“I have a method for this poisonous snake.” Seth’s clone said bluntly, “As long as you release the snake girl Bertha, I can help you eliminate Marshak’s clone.”
As Brian expected, Seth's clone was still thinking about the snake girl sealed by him.
“I believe what you say.” Brian was unmoved and said to Seth’s clone with an extremely calm expression, “But you seem to have made a mistake.”
"Even if we don't fight to the death with the Snake High Priest, we can still escape unscathed." He said, "Why should I do it multiple times?"
Although the two seemed to be communicating normally, Brian had already Realizing that he was at odds with Seth's clone, the evil god, he was just about to say a curse word.
The main reason why he wanted to go to great lengths to kill the chosen people of the evil god Marshak was to prevent Seth's clone from recovering more power through the temple of Marshak.
In the final analysis, it is to weaken His power as much as possible.
But he still miscalculated. Recalling Seth's meaningful words before his clone, Brian realized that with the abilities of the three of them alone, even Storm, as the chosen one of the goddess of magic, still could not completely defeat him. Destroy the chosen people of Marshak.
Because he has long seen that this underground city of snake people is the most prosperous settlement of the snake people kingdom in the entire material world. The belief and accumulated divine power in it are by no means comparable to that of the small snake people tribe in the Chultan Peninsula. compared to that.
The poisonous snake Masak will naturally not give up here willingly.
As long as the other party drives away the three of them through the incarnation of God, it will only be a matter of time before the city recovers.
Otherwise, Marshak would not rather sacrifice his chosen people and let the incarnation come to the material world than give up the people in this city
“Don’t think I don’t know What are you paying attention to?" Brian said coldly:
"As a clone of the Snake of the Universe, if I predict correctly, you have a blood-like suppressive power over the snake god Marshak. Even if you only have one clone left, Marshak cannot do it in the material world. The existence of countermeasures. "
"But unfortunately, your avatar is left in the Witch Spire in Chult Jungle. Although this holy emblem retains a trace of your thoughts, it cannot mobilize the powerful power at all. Divine power." He said meaningfully:
"In this case, the best way is to instill your own divine power through your own elects. This is why you deliberately awaken the snake girl Bai in this city. "Am I right in my analysis of the root cause of Shah's memory of the Saluk witch hidden deep in her soul?"
After a brief silence, Seth's clone said truthfully:
"You said?" That's right, mortal mage, letting my chosen ones draw his divine power from the temple of Marshak is indeed a plan that I have started to deploy since I noticed that the sleeping Saluk witch has not yet completely died. And you and Bertha are the most important links in the plan. Without you bringing this Holy Emblem here, I wouldn't be able to find Bertha. If Bertha couldn't become my chosen one, I wouldn't be able to draw it at the Wuhu Spire. The magical power of the poisonous snake Marshak.”
"But!" His old voice suddenly turned cold, "There is one thing you ignored."
"I have known your purpose of finding the 'Earth Prophet' Asindo." Seth's clone said. :
"Then let me tell you the truth. Without my guidance, even if you find the specific location of the ancient city of Orem where the Earth Prophet lives in seclusion with the help of the Ethiopian lizards, you will not be able to solve the problem. Open the seal to this lost city. As the twin snakes of order in ancient times, the power I wield is not comparable to that of the new gods in the Pantheon."
< br> "Without the help of the Earth Prophet, you will not be able to obtain the Holy Grail of the former Sun God Amaunata. By then, the dark ritual performed by another complete golden scroll as a medium will not be able to completely replace the Shadow Demon Network. The Magic Network is also a heavy blow to Mystra."
"Don't forget that the material for making the golden scroll is the skin of the World Snake. I'm afraid no one knows this set of scrolls better than me. The secret.”
"It's up to you to decide how to choose." Sensing that Brian had remained silent throughout, Seth's avatar smiled and made the final addition.
