Chapter 337: Died in the line of duty
"Ms. Theresa was injured and escaped from the nightmare..."
Mavey said in a daze.
“What on earth happened to the outside world?!”
Jilan glanced around and took in the expressions of everyone present, but did not notice anything strange.
He was very calm at this time and did not lose his position due to the accident. As the only Level 4 Kusei present besides Ms. Teresa, he decisively took over the command and said solemnly:
"Don't be distracted, clear out the Nightmare Guard first!"
< br>Hearing this, everyone quickly returned their attention to the front.
I saw that the steel chariot was hit by Ms. Teresa, and its original momentum was blocked. The metal on the surface turned red and hot, which was obviously the damage caused by the golden light shock wave.
However, it quickly recovered, turned its wheel hub again, and charged towards everyone.
Boom!
"I'll stand up to it!"
A childish voice shouted.
Mugur stepped forward again and stopped in front of everyone. He took out a black box in each hand, put it together with a clang, and then pulled it——
Click Click.
A thick tower shield suddenly unfolded in front of him!
But in the next second.
“Ugh!!” Muguer screamed in pain.
After Ms. Teresa, he also had blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and disappeared immediately.
"Murgul's body in the outside world was also attacked!" Maiev shouted anxiously. "Why didn't Renault turn on the clear light to wake us up?!"
No one answered because there was only one reason.
That was Renault himself...may have had a more serious accident.
Everyone’s heart sank.
At this time, the steel chariot had arrived and was about to crush everyone.
At a critical moment.
Uh-huh!
Jilan made a prompt decision, picked up the tower shield that Mgul had dropped on the ground, and pushed it forward.
Cang! ! !
Everyone felt that the whole environment was shaken.
The terrifying impact sound accompanied by the impact of the air waves made them feel awe-inspiring and they took several steps back.
Squeak! !
Amidst the harsh sound of metal friction, a tall figure with long scarlet hair and gnarled muscles was resisting the charge of the chariot with a dented and deformed tower shield!
Everyone’s pupils shrank.
"This is...Mr. Gillan's true strength?!"
Seeing that strong man with a crazy expression and flying red hair, he stopped the steel by himself Chariot, everyone present could not help but hold their breath.
Red-haired Jilan breathed out white air from her mouth, and veins were exposed on her forehead.
His scarlet eyes turned, swept across everyone, and hissed in an indifferent tone:
"Do it - attack the guard body with all your strength!"
"Yes! ”
The remaining five, Maiev, Kaya, Garnaud, Haldane and Celine, used their own methods to attack the half-length old man on the chariot.
Although everyone also suffered from the soul's repercussions, the repercussions were reduced by more than half due to taking the "Print Seal Potion", which was still within a tolerable range.
In an instant, fire exploded in the dark sewer, gunfire continued, and the dull loud noise was loud and powerful.
…
…
The outside world.
In the forest clearing on the top of the mountain, the smell of blood filled the nostrils.
Reynold, Mugur, Buweig, and Haridan all fell in a pool of blood. Among them, the body of the dwarf Renault was separated. The lamp in his hand had already fallen aside, and the light inside was extinguished.
The remaining three people all had holes in their left chests and their hearts were missing.
Gilan and others were unaware of this and still stood in front of the Nightmare Monument, with their eyes closed tightly, in a nightmare.
The gray-haired Ms. Teresa stood in front of everyone with her back bent and her face covered in blood.
She was in a very bad state at this time, gasping for air and covered in cold sweat. He was covering his left chest with one hand, his fingers were covered with blood, and he also suffered a fatal injury that destroyed his heart.
However, as a level 4 "Sunflower", her palms constantly emit strong light to heal wounds.
This does not prevent her death, but it can delay the time of death and allow her to survive for a while...
In fact, if an artificial heart can be replenished through alchemy in time, Teresa is not going to die.
But the current situation obviously does not allow it.
Theresa was staring coldly at the man in front of her.
Tall and upright, with a familiar face, and a meerkat standing on his shoulder.
It is Garnaud, a member of his own group.
"I don't understand. You just followed us into the nightmare in the monument, so how did you do it?"
Ms. Teresa asked in a deep voice.
Garnold shrugged and explained nonchalantly:
"I said something when I was near the Nightmare Monument, but none of you paid attention at the time..."
Ms. Teresa was startled. .
She suddenly remembered.
It was indeed as the other party said. Before everyone took action, Garnold took the first step after drinking the "Seal Potion" and said, "Let's kill the Nightmare Guard together."
It was these words that invisibly affected everyone present, making everyone mistakenly believe that Garnold had entered a nightmare together.
“You are the Crucible Pentacle Spiral, the fourth-level ‘Whisper’ of October’s ‘White Dove Poet’ path!”
Teresa’s pupils shrank.
She asked in a hoarse voice:
“Who are you?”
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that everyone in the Empire's Special Operations Group 2 will die here."
Garnold smiled slightly.
His gaze crossed the old woman in front of him and landed on the back of the blond young man in the front.
A voice of admiration came from his mouth:
“He is indeed a young man with extraordinary talents who can kill the ‘Ninth Pigeon’ Dedel... He has already climbed to the top of the mountain at the age of twenty. Level 4 is really beyond my expectation.”
"Such a dangerous enemy cannot be allowed to grow, lest it becomes a nuisance."
"So let's end it here tonight."
Hearing this, Teresa's face became darker. Look ugly.
Although the other party did not say it clearly, it has already disclosed very critical information.
“White Dove Tower ‘Sonnet’!”
Teresa said coldly.
His teeth were clenched and blood was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, which showed that the hatred in his heart was beyond words.
"Those who hide their heads and show their tails will die!"
She raised her hand and waved.
I saw a flash of golden light, like dewdrops or star points, splashing from his fingers, and then gathered in mid-air, turning into a half-moon arc-shaped high-temperature shock wave, flying straight towards Garnaud.
However, the shock wave ran over Garnold's body without any hindrance and hit a huge rock behind, causing a violent explosion.
The boulder as tall as a person suddenly shattered into fine slag and scattered everywhere.
Garnold appeared on the other side without warning, his posture unchanged, still standing with his hands in his pockets, watching this scene quietly.
It seems that he has been standing here from beginning to end.
The figure just now was just a deliberate cover-up.
Ms. Teresa seemed to have expected it. She missed the hit, but she was not disappointed at all. Instead, she rushed out quickly and reached Renault's body, reaching out to pick up the lantern that had fallen to the ground.
But the next second, her expression changed. Because the outstretched hand, like fishing for the moon in the water, directly penetrated the clear lamp and caught nothing.
"Sorry, I have seen through your plan a long time ago."
Garnold shook his head regretfully and raised his hand to signal.
He was holding a real clear lamp in his palm, which was still stained with blood from when he beheaded the dwarf.
"Ms. Teresa, how much longer can you hold on? One minute, or two minutes? Stop struggling, it's just pain..."
"Pfft——"
Ms. Teresa opened her mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Due to the violent movements and the use of the original energy to attack, her fatal injuries could not be contained, and blood could not stop gushing from the hole in her left chest.
She didn't get fooled into speaking out, because that would only worsen her already bad state.
Bang!
Teresa stepped on her foot and rushed towards Garnold with her shaky body. His hair was messy, but his eyes were extremely determined.
"We must get back the clear lamp and wake up the team members."
She thought to herself.
If not, as the other party said, everyone present who is trapped in a nightmare will be like fish on the chopping board, let them be slaughtered, and the entire army will be annihilated!
“Dawn.” Teresa whispered in Guhiru language.
Her eyes suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Like the golden light of day flashing, Garnold had no choice but to close his eyelids to avoid being burned by the "sunflower" essence.
But when he opened his eyes again, Theresa was already in front of him, reaching out and grabbing the clear lamp she was holding.
"I can see that you really want to save them."
Garnold said with a faint smile.
He stopped his hand, took the clear lamp and hid behind. Teresa saw that she was almost able to take back Qingdeng, but missed it by a hair's breadth, and her heart fell to the bottom.
She knew very well that she only had this chance!
Once lost, her body will no longer be able to sustain itself.
Phew——
Garnold raised his leg without warning and kicked Ms. Teresa in the abdomen.
Bang! !
Teresa's internal organs were shattered, and she vomited blood again. She urged her last bit of strength and said hoarsely:
"Dawn!!"
Buzz——
I saw golden light blooming all over its body, like a high-temperature light ball, burning Garnaud at close range.
At the same time, he released his hand covering the wound on his left chest and stretched out both arms to take back Qing Deng.
The moment she let go, it already meant that Teresa gave up her own life in exchange for a chance of survival for her companions.
Garnold narrowed his eyes and shed sour tears unconsciously. His face, neck and chest were the first to be burned.
"If you want to die, I will grant you my wish."
I saw him raising his hand and flicking it, and a shiny white dagger appeared out of nowhere and slashed straight across the old woman in front of him.
A snort.
Ms. Teresa’s right elbow was cut off at the root, and all four fingers on her left hand, except the thumb, fell off.
But even so, she still threw herself at the risk——
The blazing golden light shrank first and then bloomed.
Boom! !
Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the temperature rose rapidly.
In the distorted and fluctuating heat wave, a tall figure dodged several times to distance itself, and then quickly slapped itself to extinguish the flames.
Garnold, no, a strange man appeared.
He has a handsome appearance, with silver eyes and shoulder-length hair. But now, he looked a little embarrassed, just because of the old woman's life-threatening attack.
Tens of meters away, Ms. Teresa fell to the ground, missing her right arm, her body covered with wounds and smoke rising.
"There is no point in doing this, old lady."
The silver-eyed man spoke lightly.
Unexpectedly, he heard a subtle ridicule.
"Ha..." Teresa turned over with difficulty. Due to excessive consumption of life and strength, she now had white hair and wrinkles on her face. She was too old to be human, but she grinned and said:
"Can Letting them wake up is... the greatest meaning."
In her arms, she carefully held a lamp.
The silver-eyed man raised his brows, and then realized that the clear lamp in his hand had been taken back by the other party in the explosion just now.
"That's ridiculous." He shook his head. "Even if you wake them up, it won't change anything... In fact, from the moment you land on the island, everything is doomed, but it's just a matter of time."
Teresa didn't waste any more words. She directly raised her hand and hit the lamp casing heavily with the heel of her palm.
Dang! !
The dull sound like a bell and a bell suddenly penetrated the nightmare energy and hit everyone's minds.
In an instant, the group of people who were in the nightmare in the monument woke up one after another.
When they saw clearly what happened at the scene, their expressions changed drastically.
"Ms. Teresa!"
Kaya exclaimed.
When she saw the lady's miserable appearance and Qing Deng in the other's arms, she still didn't understand that the other party had paid a heavy price in exchange for the chance for everyone to wake up.
The remaining four corpses lying on the ground, as well as the strange man standing on the other side, directly made everyone glare.
"Mr. Garnold...has he died in the line of duty long ago?"
Maiev took a deep breath and understood all this.
“This guy has replaced him and has been hiding in our team, just to attack and assassinate at this moment!”
Ms. Teresa saw everyone waking up, her cloudy eyes revealed Smile, and at the same time in that hoarse voice, he said intermittently:
"He is... the 'Sonnet' of the White Dove Tower, be careful of the power of 'whispering'..."
Words Before she could finish speaking, the lady lost her breath.
Everyone just felt their hands and feet were cold.
Ms. Teresa, a fourth-level Kusei, died on the spot in order to save them!
Kaya has stayed in the second group the longest and has the deepest feelings for her companions. But now, Ms. Teresa, Mr. Garnold, Muguer and Renault were killed one after another.
Among the old people, she is the only one left.
His eyes were flashing with tears, and the sadness in his heart was uncontrollable. But soon, this sadness turned into hatred for the strange man.
"This guy is a Kusei. Even if a few of us join forces, I'm afraid we won't be his opponent..."
Haldane said in a deep voice.
Although he and Celine are outsiders, the difficulties they are facing will not change because of their identities.
If they cannot defeat each other, they will also die.
"Mr. Gillan hasn't woken up yet!"
At this time, Celine looked back, her pretty face turned pale.
The blond young man still had his eyes closed tightly, showing no signs of waking up.
The other three people heard the sound and looked around, their expressions also changed. Without Jilan, the long-time master, the four of them at level 3 would have very little chance of winning.
Even the silver-eyed man "Fifth Pigeon" who had been watching couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.
He raised his head and glanced. Under his spiritual vision, scarlet nightmare energy surged like waves, bursting out from the nightmare tablet and sweeping in all directions.
"Tsk, tsk... It's such a pity that you completely triggered that nightmare monument, causing Gilan Yiros to be trapped in it."
The fifth pigeon said lightly.
"Who will save you next?"
