Chapter 407 Volcanic Eruption
Brian did not let the clone of the evil god Seth wait too long. After weighing the pros and cons, he gave the answer as quickly as possible.
"As you wish, Lord Seth." He said with a rather regretful expression, "I leave you to deal with the incarnation of the snake god Masak."
After speaking, Brian undoes the seal of the snake girl wrapped around his arm without hesitation.
With a flash of magical light, the seductive and graceful snake body of the snake girl Bertha appeared in Brian's sight.
"What just happened?" A trace of confusion flashed through the snake-man girl's cold snake eyes. When she saw the fierce battle scene not far away, her expression suddenly changed and she murmured to herself: "It turned out to be the God of Snake-man Incarnations of Marshak, what have you done to attract him here?"
Brian did not answer her question, but kept urging Sai in the holy symbol through his thoughts. Si's clone.
At this moment, as the battle intensified, the originally human snake eyes of the Snake Man High Priest had been completely replaced by the divine radiance. The golden light representing the divine power all over his body was so dazzling that people could not look directly at it. situation.
He just glanced at it, and he felt like he was being crushed by the supreme majesty, and couldn't help but have the urge to worship head on. This shows how much pressure the storm and the ancient brass dragon are under.
This also allowed Brian to truly appreciate how powerful and terrifying this power that transcends mortals is.
With his current mid-level legendary strength, he couldn't even withstand the spiritual light emitted by an incarnation, let alone fight against the gods, which was simply ridiculous.
"A wise choice." Seeing Brian lower his head, Seth's clone showed a satisfied smile:
"I have told you long ago that my purpose is only to restore the order of the Snake. The power of the two women is not interested in the fight between Shar and Mystra. For me, the more intense the fight between these two women is, attracting the attention of the gods of the Pantheon as much as possible, the more I can get Enough time to gradually regain your strength
So, you can rest assured that although your previous unauthorized actions made me very angry, I will not care about you and will still fulfill our previous obligations generously. The agreement."
Facing such sincere words from Seth's clone, Brian just nodded and did not reply.
If he truly believed in the words spoken by an ancient evil god that dates back to the beginning of the creation of the world, he would not be alive today.
Fortunately, I am slightly relieved that the help the golden dragon Paralandax sought to help me exceeded his expectations.
If it had not been for the appearance of the ancient brass dragon, then the entire snake city would not have been so severely destroyed.
The most important thing is that as the ancient brass dragon carried out large-scale destruction of the snake-man city, he unexpectedly discovered that this ancient city that once belonged to Saluk Wuhu was actually located in a place that had not yet erupted. above the underground volcano.
This unexpected discovery made him think of ways to target the snake people and even destroy the city without thinking.
After all, wiping out as many snake people here as possible means that when Seth's clone regains control of the city, it will gain more faith.
At that time, it will be slower for Him to regain strength.
Only in this way can Brian feel at ease.
Because although the clone of Seth who is trying to control the ancient creator race Saluk Wuhu does not seem to pose any threat to him, he deeply understands that once this group of ancient races returns, their primary target It's the Eno Oak Desert.
Although it is unknown how long it will take to wait for the evil god Seth to regain his strength, Brian still has to be careful about this enemy who may become a potential threat to him.
He didn't want to spend a huge amount of money to restore the Eno Oak Desert to a natural atmosphere, only to end up using it as the wedding dress of the Saluk Witch.
In response to Brian's urging, Seth's clone mind hidden in the Holy Emblem seemed unhurried.
As a pale golden light emerged from the holy symbol in Brian's palm, the snake girl, who had not yet figured out the situation, suddenly exclaimed as an invisible force suddenly captured Brian's approach.
As if feeling some terrible power, the snake girl Bertha was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she collapsed and curled up on the ground while trembling.
At this moment, a ball of light the size of a palm appeared.
Brian felt a lingering fear in his heart as an ancient power rushed towards him. If he hadn't been more determined, he might have followed in the footsteps of the snake girl.
He was not the only one who felt this power, there was also a fierce battle between the storm and the ancient brass dragon.
The one who had the biggest reaction was the Snakeman High Priest.
The moment the high priest, who was surrounded by divine radiance, saw the ball of light, a flash of fear instinctively appeared in his majestic golden snake eyes.
This kind of fear is like the blood suppression of a mouse when it sees a cat.
"Seth?" The snake-man high priest said in a trembling voice with an unbelievable look:
"Impossible, how could you appear here? Your divine power has not been taken away by Seth a long time ago, and even your body How could a new demon lord who was also corrupted by the will of the abyss appear here!"
"This must be an illusion!" A look of determination suddenly appeared in the majestic golden snake eyes of the snake man. With a look of anger, he said coldly, "It's just a lingering thought. Stop pretending in front of me. Now let me see your reality!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian suddenly felt a sudden sensation. A terrifying mental pressure surged toward him mercilessly with overwhelming force.
His defensive barrier and spiritual barrier of psychic powers were like fragile thin ice, crushed instantly in the face of this coercion.
In an instant, Brian felt as if he was carrying an entire mountain on his back, lying on the ground, and then a spiritual attack flashed through his mind like a sharp sword.
The sharp sting almost caused him to faint on the spot.
——"Psychic mind barrier!"
——"True self-shaping!"
——"Distorted reality!"
Without thinking, Brian used various abilities to resist psychic damage one after another, which was able to offset the terrible damage. Then, under the influence of "True Self-Shaping", he restored his vitality visibly to the naked eye.
Just as he was secretly congratulating himself on escaping the angry blow from the incarnation of Marshak, the snake-man high priest holding a trident appeared in front of Brian like a sharp arrow from a string.
"Accept the sanction, Seth, I, the god of snakes, Marshak, am the real snake of the universe!"
The trident, which emits bright light and represents divine power, surges. With violent evil energy, he just smashed it towards Brian's head simply and unpretentiously.
Seeing this, Brian couldn't help but curse in his heart. Obviously, this incarnation of the snake god actually regarded himself as the carrier of Seth's clone.
For a moment, he even planned to throw the Holy Emblem in his hand directly to the incarnation of Marshak.
Of course, he would not do that.
Feeling this unmatched power, it shocked him to the spot and made it difficult to move at all. Brian, who finally gained control of his body from the pressure just now, was no longer as panicked as before.
After calming down in an instant, he knew that with his current strength, he had no ability to deal with the angry blow from the incarnation of the god.
But as a legendary spellcaster and psychic, it was not impossible for Brian to survive such an attack.
For example, using abilities similar to cloning and astral transformation to obtain rebirth can be done, but the price paid is too heavy.
In a flash of thought, Brian was about to forcibly activate the space transfer and mirror double technique, trying to avoid this fatal blow with luck, when he suddenly felt another powerful force, also moving towards him. Get closer yourself.
He looked happy, and immediately gave up his plan to fight desperately, and began to secretly accumulate strength, preparing for a thunderous counterattack.
Just as Brian expected, at this critical moment, the storm stood in front of him instantly.
The leader of the Harpers raised his arm and stretched out his slender fingers solemnly. The graceful path traced by his palm seemed to unfold a shield of life, and a blazing fire that was pure enough to rival mithril emerged out of thin air. Standing in front of this deadly trident.
The deadly trident collided with the fire shield transformed from silver fire in the air, causing it to roll and surge violently like molten silver water.
This is Silver Fire!
Extraordinary abilities that can only be possessed by the chosen ones of Mystra, the goddess of magic.
It does not belong to mortals, but the power of gods. It is the embodiment of the divine essence and will of the goddess of magic. It can resist the attack of the incarnation of the gods, so there is no problem.
"Chosen of Mystra!" Seeing that his strongest attack was actually blocked by the shield transformed into silver fire, the snake-man high priest was so angry that Snake Xin hissed, and immediately revealed a sneer:
"What a troublesome guy. Even if you are a chosen one, you are only a mortal after all. I want to see how you can block my next attack!"
In an instant, the divinity surrounded by the trident was standing still. The light became brighter, shining like a corona in this dark underground cave.
The majestic force wrapped in this terrifying power broke through the defense of the silver fire almost effortlessly, and landed firmly on the transformed shield.
“Mystra, my mother!”
When the trident exuding divine brilliance collided with the silver fire, Storm, knowing that he was outmatched, immediately called out the name of the goddess of magic with a loud voice and a pious look on his face.
Then, he chanted a powerful mantra with all his concentration.
In an instant, two divine radiances representing the Goddess of Magic and the Snake God were intertwined, covering the entire treasure house, turning into powerful air waves and exploding.
"Rumble!"
This earth-shattering roar shook from bottom to top, centered on the treasure house, and spread unstoppably to the entire ancient ruins.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of houses in Salukdan instantly collapsed and destroyed. Countless cracks bloomed on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and scorching waves of fire spread and grew from all directions.
The Snake Man and the Ethiopian Lizard Man, who were entangled in the ruins, saw this terrible scene and were forced to stop fighting at the same time, each screaming in terror and running for their lives.
Because at this moment, a large amount of hot lava is like an angry dragon, rolling out from countless cracks, swallowing everything in its path with an unstoppable surge.
Until now, most people who don’t know the truth understand that the reason why this ancient underground city is so warm is that the entire Salukda has been built on an underground volcano for tens of thousands of years.
If the volcano that has been silent for hundreds of centuries starts to move again, it will inevitably turn this ancient ruin into a forbidden land of death that can no longer accommodate any flesh and blood.
The situation was critical, and the flying ancient brass dragon roared, trying to call Brian and Storm to evacuate the danger as soon as possible.
However, what the Brass Dragon did not expect was that his loud and high-pitched dragon roar would actually be the last straw for the already crumbling grand temple at the center of the earthquake to exceed its ultimate endurance.
In an instant, the most solemn and sacred building in the snake-man community collapsed.
Witnessing the destruction of the Holy Land, all the surviving snake soldiers felt as if they were struck by lightning, leaving only a blank space in their minds.
They were silent for less than half a second, and suddenly they started shouting wildly as if they were collectively crazy, waving their weapons unconsciously, giving up the attack on the Ethiopian lizards, and desperately attacking the collapsed body. Ruins swarmed away.
However, what made them despair was that before they had even taken a few steps, there were several gloomy roars like muffled thunder coming from under the temple.
Immediately afterwards, tens of millions of bright and scorching lava shot up into the sky under the eruption of the volcano, illuminating the entire Snake City in red.
Fire rain pours down from the sky. While the landscape is magnificent, it also contains endless murderous intent.
Needless to say, in this sudden disaster, no one can be spared. The fiery red dots of death are reflected in the eyes of the snake soldiers, getting bigger and bigger. , until it occupies their entire field of vision.
They are lucky, it is destined that the snake soldiers will not be swallowed by the lava.
But they were very unfortunate. Salukda, which had just become as hot as a steel-making furnace due to volcanic activity, miraculously returned to normal temperature in an instant, and even evolved to the opposite extreme.
The biting cold wind roared across the city, causing the blood and brains of the snake people to boil like boiling oil, quickly cooling, freezing, and becoming rigid.
Despite the current crisis, the racial restrictions have made them all lazy, and their strength and reactions have been greatly reduced.
The rain of fire in the sky turned into bright black hail inexplicably, and it fell on the snake people's heads indiscriminately, smashing through their heads, breaking their bones and limbs, and killing these cold-blooded crawlers. Human life is ruthlessly deprived.
At this moment, several black shadows with extremely different sizes broke out of the ice-cold lava condensed into a lotus shape, leaped into the sky quickly, and separated and merged like meteors.
A series of heart-shaking explosions resounded in all directions, shaking the ceiling of the large underground cave as if it might collapse at any time.
