Chapter 1458 Shadow Fortress

When passing through the layer of water condensed by moonlight, Hao Ren felt a bone-chilling chill spreading from his limbs.

It was not the cold that the nerves really felt, but a cold that was more related to the soul and seemed to spread outward from the depths of his consciousness. When this cold hit, Hao Ren realized that he had entered A world ruled by the power of shadow.

The up-and-down gravity disorder disappeared in an instant. Hao Ren felt as if he had turned somersaults in the air. One second he was spinning, but the next second he felt down to earth again. The scene in front of him quickly stabilized, and he found that he was still Standing in the courtyard of the castle, the entire castle and the sky above have completely changed.

Everything in sight has faded from color, and different levels of black and white tones outline everything in sight. The whole world seems to have turned into a black and white photo, monotonous, cold and gloomy, and more than half of the "outside world" has collapsed. The castle was actually intact here. Not only was it intact, its scale was countless times larger than what Hao Ren remembered - the courtyard of the castle turned into an astonishingly large square, and stasis could be seen everywhere in the square. There are fountains and strange sculptures, and those things have never existed in the "outside world" before; the four towers of the square have become four towering towers reaching into the sky, standing in the distance like four pillars supporting the heaven and earth. At the end of the line of sight, the top of the tower supports the sky covered with dark clouds. Where the top of the tower touches the sky, you can also see a huge and terrifying whirlpool slowly flowing; part of the castle wall extends from the east side of the courtyard to the west. On the side, the wall also expanded countless times, becoming like a giant dam. Hundreds of Gothic slender carved windows were arranged on the wall. Each window revealed a pale light, like an endless scene. An endless banquet is being held in the castle.

High in the sky, black and white clouds seemed to be frozen, covering the entire world.

Hao Ren looked around in surprise at the huge and complex buildings around him. He realized that the huge structures he could see were only a small part of this castle. This "Haroun Castle" collapsed and dilapidated in the real world. "This shadow world presents a strange and bizarre state. Perhaps it is some kind of asymmetrical projection that causes it to look like this here.

The witches also emerged from the pool one by one. The last one jumped out was Lily, who was screaming with her eyes closed. But the sight of the shadow world made the husky girl quiet instantly. She looked around with wide eyes, and then looked back. The pool where I came from: the pool that was originally less than ten meters in diameter has expanded several times, and there are a lot of dark and twisted sculptures and patterns around the pool. Lily blinked and sighed: "Wow - is this what the Shadow World is like?"

“The shadow world can take on any appearance, depending on the control of the leader and the distorted projection of the real world,” Hesiana said. “Shadow is always abstract, so the appearance it can take is often beyond your imagination. "

Lady Mary opened her hands and looked at a small ball of black flames beating in her palms: "The concentration of magic in this world is simply unimaginable... I have never captured the free magic power in the air so easily... This place is simply... A paradise for black magic!”

"Control your desires, witch," Hesiana warned in a cold tone, "The magical power of this world belongs to Lady Vivian, and even the entire world is an extension of her. You can indulge in it, I I won’t stop you, anyway, if you continue like this, you will soon become a part of the shadow and be digested and absorbed by Lady Vivian’s dream.”

Lily blinked, but seemed to be thinking of something else: "So this is Vivian's dream?"

"That's right," Hesiana replied casually, "Ms. Vivian will transform the 'field' she is in during her sleep. This field is separated from the real world and forms a highly protective shell. ’, within this ‘shell’, Lady Vivian’s subconscious dominates and creates everything.”

Lily scratched her hair: "It seems like she has always dreamed of having such a big house to live in..."

Hesiana: "..."

Hao Ren: "..."

Damn, this dog really hit the nail on the head when he opened his mouth! Does the true meaning of this shadow world mean that Vivian can only dream if she wants to live a rich life?

The husky girl's unintentional words caused embarrassment for a long time. After a while, Hao Ren coughed twice and came to his senses: "Ahem, we can study these things slowly after the incident subsides. Hesana, what's next? Where to go?"

"Wait a minute, I need to observe too," Hesiana said as she opened her hands. A pair of huge bat wings appeared in the air behind her, and countless shadowy, phantom-like little bats emerged from under her bat wings. flew out of the shadow and scattered in all directions, "This is also my first time entering this place. Lady Vivian usually... doesn't like me to disturb you. Most of what I know about this place is from my own long-term investigation."

Lily curled her lips: "That's just a theoretical person."

"But I know a lot of things as a theoretical person," Hesiana glared at Lily, "Although Lady Vivian doesn't like to be disturbed, she once told me about this shadow world in a dream. At least , I know where the control center of the Soulless Guard is!"

As she spoke, the little bat spirit's face suddenly changed slightly, and her eyes turned in a certain direction.

Hao Ren asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"I saw that a shadow node had been disturbed. The wizard...the wizard named Barn has indeed come in."

The witches suddenly became slightly commotion: the wizard Barn was the "ghost" they had recruited, so any information about the other party made them quite nervous. Hao Ren immediately asked: "Can you track him?"

"It's difficult," Hesiana frowned and shook her head, "The wizard's strength is a bit unexpected. He is very good at shadow magic, and he still has the key in his hand... He erased most of his traces , and at the same time hide yourself with the help of the environment of this world.”

"He will always go to the depths of the seal anyway," Hao Ren looked up at the sky composed of black and white blocks. Some vague black shadows appeared behind the solidified clouds at some point, "What are those?"

"It's the soulless guards." Hesiana raised her head and glanced, her expression immediately becoming serious. "The Shadow World has sensed our 'trespassing' this time, and the soulless ones are gradually waking up. Follow me, and we'll go there immediately. Beita must first gain control of a part of this world!"

"Um..." Lily looked around, "I think those soulless ones you mentioned have already arrived..."

Almost at the same time as the Husky girl finished speaking, bursts of "Kerala" sounds of breaking stones suddenly came from all over the square.

In this square, which is several times larger than the real world, there are black stone sculptures with hideous and weird shapes erected everywhere. Most of them have human bodies and beast limbs, and have bat-like wings covered with bone spurs on their backs. With long tails, these weird stone sculptures are now being broken one by one. After the stones collapse, what is exposed is the body that looks like amorphous smoke inside. The broken stone chips are rolling between the smoke, forming these The monster has an extremely weird shape.

"Damn it... the soulless man actually captured the gargoyle statue..." Hesiana cursed in a low voice, and at the same time waved her hand, and a blood-red whip appeared in her hand, "Everyone, head to the North Tower. Retreat in the direction! Don’t be too eager to fight, we can’t kill all the soulless ones!”

While he was talking, a living "gargoyle" let out a shrill scream and rushed over like a cloud of smoke!

A flash of light flashed, and the high-temperature flames of the plasma gun blade cut the monster composed of shadow power and stones into two halves. Hao Ren held the spear in his hand to block the front of the team, and had already pressed the gravity in his other hand. The three locking buttons of the sub-grenade: "Lily, just bring the Hasselblad!"

The graviton grenade exploded after being thrown, instantly forming a gravity collapse with a radius of five meters. Several gargoyles that rushed towards were instantly captured by this force field, which was no less than a small black hole. They screamed miserably while being sucked into the grenade. Enter the dark, lightless dot in the heart of the explosion. This strange power instantly startled the witches and stunned Hesiana, who looked at Hao Ren in disbelief: "What kind of power do you have? This is not witchcraft!"

"I have quite a connection with those guys from Northern Europe." Hao Ren said casually.

Lily carried Hasselblad, raised her leg and kicked a gargoyle away. She shouted angrily: "It's so troublesome to carry this uncle! I don't want to carry him, I want to fight! Landlord, please throw him into your personal space first." What!"

"My perception of the space I carry around here is not that sensitive. If something happens to him inside, I won't even know!" Hao Ren said as he threw an extremely heavy alloy two-handed sword to Lily, "Here you go, Just keep you two safe!"

Lily threw Hasselblad onto her other shoulder, caught the sword with her free right hand, and swung the huge two-handed sword that looked like a movie prop with one hand several times: "Okay, it's more or less a stick. !”

After saying that, she slapped a gargoyle with a stick, turning the latter into smoke and dust.

Hesiana and the witches also took action one after another. All kinds of magic and summons were flying across the battlefield, and the battle was about to begin!

However, Hao Ren soon saw that the gargoyles that had been scattered or even vaporized would reappear in the air soon. Some monsters even split and multiplied after being scattered. The enemies in the square actually more and more!

He finally realized what Hesiana meant by "the soulless ones can't be killed" - the origins of these monsters came from Vivian's dreams. As long as Vivian didn't wake up, these nightmare monsters would always be there. It won’t really reduce!

On the contrary, with external stimulation, this nightmare will escalate more and more, and the number of monsters will also increase!

Everyone realized this, so under the leadership of Hesiana, everyone fought and retreated, and began to move towards the north tower of the castle.
