Chapter 553: Red Robe Archmage
After a few days.
It was drizzling in the sky.
The sea area map of the Dragon Kingdom is marked as the "troll sea" with the danger level of three skulls.
Thirty years ago, when the Black Sam Pirates passed through this sea area, they encountered some huge titan-blooded trolls. The power of this monster is terrifying, and it can easily lift a three-masted ship with bare hands.
There are now too.
However, it has turned into even more terrifying deformed corpses, and there are still a lot of them.
The dawn group sailed to this sea area, as if they entered some monster's lair.
Without warning, the monster threw stones from the island, and the battle also attracted a large number of monsters around.
The sound of gunfire on the sea roared, resounding for dozens of sea miles.
"Artillery support! Two rounds of continuous fire!"
"Quick, there are also monsters passing by in the sea. The whaling team will go into the water to kill them, and don't let the monsters damage the ship!"
"Servants, pay attention to attracting the newly attracted monsters away from the periphery, and focus on killing this ugly big guy first!"
"."
On the Eternal Night, the crew members were fighting fiercely.
Suddenly, the observer on the observation deck issued an urgent warning: "Be careful, the flying stones are coming again!"
Just before the words fell, dozens of stones with a diameter of several meters rushed over from the island not far away like a rainstorm.
The sound of breaking wind whistled into my ears, as terrifying as a shooting star.
Seeing that the stone rain was about to hit the Eternal Night, Lolota and the group of swordsmen jumped up from the deck. Everyone unleashed their knives together, swishing a few knives, spreading a net bag of sword energy in the sky.
In an instant, the boulder flying over was cut into countless small pieces.
Although most of the stones fell into the sea, some watermelon-sized stones hit the hull densely, like shells.
It is impossible for human beings to smash dozens of tons of stone balls together like cannonballs.
But for the eighth-level lord [Titan Corpse Demon], which is more than 300 meters away, it is just a handful of "pebbles" in his palm.
Yes, it is three hundred meters high.
That monster is even bigger than the hull of the Eternal Night!
On the island in the distance, Su Lun, Qiantiao, Barrett, No. 19 and other high-ranking fighters are besieging and killing this lord-level deformed corpse.
This is an enlarged version of the troll, with four limbs and humanoid shape, but the head has been distorted into a fox face full of tentacles and pustules. On the monster's stomach, there was a large blood basin full of densely packed sharp teeth. In addition to opening its mouth to spit out concentrated acid that can easily melt steel, its stomach is also like a bottomless pit, releasing countless scarlet tentacles to devour everything around it. And like cannonballs, sword qi, and all kinds of alchemy can still be swallowed.
The battle is raging.
For most monsters, size is directly equivalent to combat power.
The huge body brings them terrifying strength and armor-like flesh.
And this [Titan Corpse Demon] is like this, with a body more than 300 meters high, possessing a strength that humans can't compete with and an almost incomprehensible defense.
Because the body is too large, even if Su Lun's black sickle and thousand sword qi slash on the carrion layer, it will not hurt or itch.
In terms of "blood volume", it is not even much inferior to the eighth-rank silver dragon hunted by the dawn group before.
Fortunately, although the monster rank is high, its reaction is clumsy, and it also relies on its legs to walk. Compared with the flying dragons before, it is much easier to deal with.
As long as you carefully avoid its attacks, it's not a big problem.
Su Lun and the others fought fiercely and consumed more than half an hour of blood before beheading the monster.
Once the lord monster died, the undead monsters in the nearby sea area would soon disperse.
There is a special disposal team for cleaning up the battlefield. Su Lun and the others returned to the ship after the battle.
Walking to the deck, Bartolo looked at the corpse in the distance, still frowning.
Not only the melancholy of revisiting the old place, but also a trace of solemnity.
Su Lun walked over and asked, "Senior, did you see anything?"
Bartolo didn't participate in the battle just now. First, it was unnecessary. Second, the talent of No. 19's [Angel of Justice] had a bad feeling. Along the way, she always felt as if something was coveting them.
Be careful, so Bartolo, the top fighter, was not allowed to intervene. In case something happens, there is also a backup.
Bartolo listened to his eyes and thought deeply, and said: "Usually, necromancers are rarely very intelligent. So many monsters gathered around here and attacked us, it seems a bit unusual."
"Um."
Su Lun naturally noticed this too.
There is an upper limit to the density of area-type creatures, and these monsters will not gather together without a special reason.
He asked: "Senior, do you think someone did it deliberately?"
Bartolo said: "It may not be human beings, it may be some special existence. The kingdom of ancient dragons is said to be the battlefield of ancient gods, and too many ancient secrets are buried here. What's more, the eruption of hell volcano will bring many alien planes It is quite normal for undead creatures to have things beyond human cognition."
"."
Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this, and didn't say anything else.
Since they killed the aberration monster in the Golden Sea a few days ago, it has not stopped, and there are more and more monsters.
But if it's just a monster, it's okay to say, fight if you can, and run away if you can't.
I am afraid that I will encounter some "supernatural" existence beyond understanding.
Just like the group of monsters I encountered today, it always makes people feel that something is wrong.
Su Lun looked at Uncle Crow on his shoulder again. This one didn't call out, which means it's not fatal yet.
You have already taken risks before you come, and there is nothing to back down.
Not long after, everyone disposed of the corpses of those monsters, and the Eternal Night continued sailing.
In order to prevent some special situations, double sentry posts were arranged on the deck, and some sophisticated energy fluctuation detectors were also arranged, such as "infrasonic wave detector", "psychologically sensitive instrument", "thermal energy fluctuation detector". Marfa, etc. The research results in this area in 2009 are extraordinary, and its performance is already sufficient to replace most of the perception methods.
And of course Taney and his mother, Friedel.
Multiple insurances have almost eliminated all possibilities of inexplicably falling into dangerous situations.
The boatmen also smeared the dung of the giant dragon on the hull, so that some low-level monsters would not come to disturb them from time to time.
And so sailed into the night.
After entering the ruins of the Kingdom of Ancient Dragons, in order to prevent the light from attracting monsters, the Eternal Night no longer lights up at night.
Tonight's night is not too bright, this black sailboat is okay on the dark sea, blending with the night like a ghost.
There is already a faint gray gas in the air, which is the gas of hell.
It is similar to the dark spiritual power of Old Lingdun, a kind of death-type spiritual energy. Risk of distortion by prolonged inhalation.
But for Su Lun, instead of having any negative effects on him, this kind of spiritual energy was very pleasant to breathe. He can easily digest the dead impurities in the aura now, which is very beneficial.
So he didn't practice in the cabin these days, but often came to wander around the deck at night.
On the deck, the sentries all wore gas masks.
Seeing him coming, everyone said hello.
"Mr. Sullen!"
"Um."
Because of the battle during the day, Su Lun always felt that something was a little strange, so after wandering around, he didn't go back to the cabin, but went under the mainmast and jumped up.
On the thick mast, Chijo is meditating.
The sword intent she comprehended was "Thundering Hell", which was comprehended from the kingdom of the underworld. Now that she encounters the real hell, she also feels that it is difficult to comprehend it strictly. And the closer to the core of the ancient dragon country ruins, the laws of heaven and earth are obviously perfected too much. This is a rare practice environment for the two of them who can digest the atmosphere of hell.
The two did not speak, as usual, they meditated not far apart.
Time flies, and I don't realize it's midnight.
The moon in the sky has been completely covered by dark clouds, and the Eternal Night without lights seems to be in a black paint that can't be seen, and it is impossible to tell where is water and where is night.
With a top navigator like Tani, he was not worried about hitting the rocks, and the Eternal Night was still sneaking steadily in the intended direction.
Su Lun put the rune black umbrella on his lap, and his perception covered the entire ship.
There was only the sound of splashing water beside my ears.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly!
"somebody is coming?"
Su Lun was also surprised.
Just now, a strange soul wave suddenly appeared on the deck.
Even without eyes, Su Lun is now familiar with distinguishing the souls of each of the tens of thousands of members in the regiment.
That's why I noticed this unexpected guest all at once.
Finding something unusual, Su Lun opened his eyes and looked at Qiantiao.
Just a reminder, Chijo immediately opened his eyes vigilantly.
The two looked at each other, and she immediately complied, her hand was quietly on the hilt of the sword.
The reason for this reaction is that Su Lun perceives that the soul fluctuations of the coming people are very strong!
It was so strong that she thought it might be some kind of "spirit monster", not a human being.
Because even Master Pierre, who had met the ninth level in Lingdun, he had never had such a powerful soul wave.
A "person" suddenly appeared in this sea where there is no possibility of living people, no matter what the situation is, it makes people feel a chill in the back.
Where did "he" come from?
What does "he" want to do?
It's weird that this guy is so strong, but he still sneaked into the boat.
"Hey, did you come here directly?"
However, not long after, Su Lun was even more surprised to find that the guy was actually coming towards the mainmast.
He immediately realized that this guy seemed to be targeting him?
Being able to capture his position so accurately in the dark night, for a moment, Su Lun also thought of a possibility, that is, the other party can also discern the strength of the soul!
In the entire dawn group, the strongest soul is Su Lun himself.
Bartolo had joked before, saying that his soul was as strong as a monster.
Thinking of this, Su Lun suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be a fellow who cultivates the soul?"
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the soul wave walked under the main mast without any movement, and then "floated" up again.
Yes, it is floating!
Without arousing the vigilance of any sentry, without touching any sensory equipment on the ship, he floated up like a ghost.
Although Su Lun himself didn't see the floating guy with his naked eyes, Uncle Crow on the top of the mast could see it clearly.
Uncle Crow is a bird of death, it can see any form of spirit
Su Lun frowned, but he still planned to act first.
When this guy jumped up, he suddenly pulled out the rune black umbrella and swung it behind him.
At the same time, there was the sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath next to his ear, Qiantiao opened his eyes suddenly, drew his knife and chopped it down.
The rune black umbrella has a special effect, that is, it can hit the soul.
And Qianjo's slash can deal deadly physical cutting damage.
Now the combat power of the two can be regarded as top professionals in the alchemy plane, and they have a tacit understanding for a long time. With perfect cooperation, there is no possibility for that person to dodge at all.
If not, this surprise attack had a miraculous effect!
The sneaky guy wanted to get closer, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came up, he greeted him with a knife and a stick, and there was no time to respond.
Su Lun didn't know why the other party used any means to maintain this "invisible" state without a trace, and even the spatial perception could detect that he didn't exist. But he came over without being aroused, that is to say, "he" is not a physical entity.
Probably some kind of special magic device was used.
At such a close distance, Su Lun has already determined that this is definitely a living person.
Enemies who come with malice!
As long as it is human, it can be killed.
But at the moment when it suddenly exploded, Qianjo's sword was one step faster than Su Lun's.
That person probably also felt that his ability could ignore slashing, so even if he was attacked by surprise, he didn't panic much.
Qiantiao's knife cut through the void, as if cutting through the air, without cutting anything at all.
However, this knife is not intended to hurt the enemy, but to keep the enemy in this ghost-like state!
The moment the sword energy passed by this one-thousandth of an instant, Su Lun's rune black umbrella followed one after another.
A miraculous scene was staged, on the empty mast, as if something was hit by the rune black umbrella, a translucent figure was immediately revealed.
Su Lun looked at it and sneered in his heart.
It was as if he himself was stunned by the stick when he met the "curator" for the first time. The guy in front of him obviously didn't expect that there was a weapon that could directly draw people's souls.
As soon as the translucent figure appeared, one could immediately see with the naked eye that his expression was in a state of "shock and awe" stiffness.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Tiao's freshly slashed sharp sword returned with more than a dozen "shua shua" blades, and a domineering sword flower slashed out, immediately cutting the person into more than a dozen sections.
"Killed?"
Su Lun was still waving his hand in the air, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
Because he clearly felt that the soul of the other party had collapsed, which was a sign of death.
But it shouldn't be this easy.
The thought in Su Lun's mind was that it would be safe to harvest the enemy's soul, but a bizarre scene happened right before his eyes.
He watched that broken soul was suddenly reunited by an incomprehensible force, and then appeared on the sea several hundred meters away.
Seeing this, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly: "Resurrection."
He wasn't surprised that he couldn't kill such a strong enemy for the first time. It would be nice to be able to sneak attack and make people suffer a bit.
But to his surprise, this guy actually mastered such a godly technique.
Su Lun himself had been resurrected before, so he didn't know that this guy really died just now, and then he was resurrected again!
But looking at the other person's clothes, he was not surprised immediately, and murmured in his heart: "The archbishop of the crusader in the plane of the gods, the eighth-level great magister, no wonder he can borrow the power of the gods."
However, the ranks of magicians on the plane of gods are strict, and rank is status, and their robes have obvious marks.
The eighth-level great magister may not wear this kind of red robe, but the one who wears this kind of robe must be the great magister.
Moreover, a person with a red robe with gold patterns like this still has a high position in the Holy See.
At least this guy in front of him is the highest-ranked person Su Lun has ever seen in the plane of the gods!
But what Su Lun couldn't figure out was, why did this guy appear in the waters of the ancient dragon kingdom?
Also, did he come alone, or was there someone else?
Su Lun squinted into the depths of the night.
In any case, it seems that the situation is not quite right tonight if someone came to your door.
Those guys on the plane of the gods have been severely injured so many times, so they must be somewhat sure of killing them this time.
The last time a group of 30,000 people was killed, could it be that ten or eight came here this time?
However, what Su Lun didn't expect was that after watching for a long time, it seemed that only this guy came?
