Chapter 235 Time Stands Still Series

…

"who?"

Everyone in the Natural Disaster Religion looked at Hibbert sitting on the digger with wary expressions.

However, the latter seemed not to take these people seriously.

His expression looked quite confused, and he murmured words. Because the surroundings were very quiet, every word Hibbert said was clearly heard by everyone:

"What's going on? Why did the ground suddenly collapse? Is it because of the earthquake? Or is it because I've eaten too much and been too heavy recently?"

"What is this place? Why is it so dark? Are there so many vicious guys?"

"Hey, why is it dead?"

Come to the last sentence.

Hibbert looked at the digger beneath him with doubtful eyes. The latter indeed quickly lost its life after falling to the ground.

What's rather strange is that.

It seems that the digger did not fall to death——

In fact, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and its vitality is very tenacious. It is impossible for it to die like this.

Don't talk about Hibbert.

Marie Joa's eyes were full of doubts.

Matthew next to her was also nervous.

Hibbert suddenly appeared here, which Matthew didn't want to see.

The other party hasn't noticed him yet.

But what if he recognizes her and greets her?

Where should Matthew go?

He felt dizzy just thinking about these problems.

Even if Hibbert never noticed him, the abnormal events brought about by the digger would definitely arouse Mary Joa's suspicion.

If the other party suspects himself or Zangula because of this, it will be a bit of a mistake.

all in all.

Matthew smelled danger.

But his thoughts changed quickly——

At the very least, they have sneaked in and found the Scourge Cult's secret base near Watcher's Heights. This undercover operation can be considered a guaranteed harvest.

If it really doesn't work, it won't be a loss if we fall out.

At least this stronghold can be demolished.

Just think of this.

Matthew quickly made plans to fall out. He took the time to glance at Zangula, who still hid most of his face in the shadows and couldn't clearly see the other person's plans.

"Hey! I have a question for you! Who are you?"

A natural disaster tentacle took the initiative to step forward.

He raised a crossbow, pointed it at Hibbert, and asked sternly.

However, Hibbert still ignored him.

The former bent down and diligently checked the death status of the digger, but saw that he slightly disliked a scale on the head of the digger, and seemed to be saying to himself:

"This digger is very weird. It smells of magic and ashes. What do you use to feed it?"

He seemed to be asking everyone in the Calamity Cult.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone looked at Mary Joa.

Mary Joa snorted coldly:

"Where did this madman come from? He's talking nonsense."

"Get him!"

Hear this.

Hibbert looked a little anxious. He quickly stood up and said to Mary Joa and others:

"Don't catch me. I'm just passing by. I was sitting on the ground and suddenly the ground collapsed, and then I came here. I am also a victim."

However, the Scourge Cultists would not reason with him.

What happened was so unusual.

The digger who was the initiator of the incident has died suddenly, so Hibbert, who can still speak, must be the target that Mary Joa wants to control.

Matthew calmed down and prepared to secretly assist Hibbert.

At this moment.

The tentacles of a warrior profession passed over the crowd and boldly flew towards Hibbert.

As he ran, he drew an ax from his waist.

His posture is strong and his movements are fast and fierce, giving people the feeling of a beast rushing!

"do not come!"

Hibbert said anxiously:

"I don't want to hurt anyone, even if you look like a bunch of bad people."

"Shut up, pretty boy!"

The soldier jumped up high and pounced on Hibbert with a ferocious expression.

There were also two Scourge Cultists on both sides.

They quickly approached and attacked Hibbert from three angles.

Between the lightning and flint.

A soft sigh sounded.

Just when Matthew was about to throw out the spell, an extremely bright light lit up on Hibbert.

All of a sudden.

The entire dimly lit underground space was illuminated as brightly as daylight!

Hibbert's robes swayed gently as if in the breeze.

Immediately afterwards.

The swaying motion disappeared.

A huge sphere appeared with him as the center, and the space within the sphere seemed to have changed in some way.

Everyone was surprised to see——

The warrior who jumped high suddenly stopped in mid-air, his body stopped falling, and his expression stayed at that moment;

The Scourge Cultists who came from two other angles were also the same.

The three of them were completely stuck.

not only that.

All time inside the light ball seemed to have stopped.

Only Hibbert himself stood out.

…

"Tip: Your partner Hibbert used the "Time Stop Series" spell.

Time Standstill Series: One of the most difficult spell problems in the field of transformation, which can cause specific areas or targets to enter a state of time standstill through different media or forms.

within the state of time standing still.

You can perform non-injurious or slightly damaging actions such as stealing, moving, pushing, humiliating, etc. on the immobilized target.

Once the behavior you do to the target exceeds the judgment of minor damage, the target will recover from this state and will have the ability to be immune to the time-stopping series of spells for half an hour.

Knowledge (transformation field): The spell Hibbert cast is specifically "Hibbert's ball (self-created spell)". Within the range covered by the ball, time almost stops in a sense. In the center, time becomes more stationary, but it is by no means completely stationary. "

…

He is truly a genius.

Matthew secretly eliminated the spells he had prepared. No wonder the Silver Council was only worried about whether Hibbert could complete the mission, not whether Hibbert would encounter danger during the mission.

Just this hand.

That would be enough for Hibbert to roam around the continent of Irondor as he pleases!

The spells of the Time Stop series are very difficult to learn, and like the spells of the Prophecy series, they are very talent-intensive.

It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire league who can stop time in a small area like Hibbert.

Including the Seven Saints.

Matthew was relieved, and he was suddenly curious about how this would end.

For the Calamity Cult, a mage who had his own way of doing things suddenly came to their secret stronghold, and he also stopped time in a considerable part of the area. This was completely invading the territory in person!

If you can bear this.

The high-ranking officials of the Natural Disaster Religion may have their face completely ruined in front of the lower-level members.

as expected.

But Marie Joa shouted angrily:

"Clear this spell for me!"

This stronghold should be the strongest one in the Calamity Religion. Among the dozen or so backbone tentacles, there are actually two mages!

The two people walked out.

One of them said:

"It is useless to use spells to offset it now. This is a very rare time-stopping spell. Even the Seven Saints Alliance has few mages who can do this. I suspect there is something wrong with this person..."

Marie Joa said with a dark face:

"I don't want to know if there's something wrong with him, I just want to know if you can fix this damn ball!"

The two looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

Mary Joa looked at Matthew again.

The latter shrugged:

"I'm a necromancer, you don't think I can do anything about it, do you?"

Mariejoia turned away with a stern face.

after awhile.

The two people seemed to have reached a conclusion after discussing it. The older mage said:

"We can try to set up an anti-magic barrier to directly offset all the magic in this area, but this will affect the ash extraction in the square..."

Mary Joa waved her hands irritably:

"At any cost, remove this ball of light for me. I will capture this mage and torture him!"

The two men immediately went to prepare.

Speaking of which, these two mages should be considered top-notch talents. It only took them about 5 minutes to set up a circle of anti-magic barriers around them.

After a while.

One of the mages suddenly activated the barrier.

All of a sudden.

A force that Matthew felt suppressed bloomed in this space.

Immediately afterwards.

The ball of light dispersed with a bang, and all the brilliance fell into fragments and fell to the ground, forming patches of rather bright starlight.

"Success?"

Mary Joa beamed.

At this time, the two mages also turned around with smiles.

One of them said:

"The layout of the anti-magic field is complete, that mage can't escape!"

Another person said seriously:

"We can try to set up an anti-magic barrier..."

While talking.

A bright yellow light lit up behind the two of them.

Hibbert's ball returned to its original state, and everyone looked at Hibbert in surprise as he was busy working on the body of the Digger, and then at the warrior suspended in mid-air and the other two Scourge Cultists.

Time seemed to go back a few minutes.

After the older mage finished saying that, he hurriedly arranged it on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

Someone tried to hold them back.

But as soon as he approached the two mages, his body froze in place!

The two mages seemed to have no idea what was happening outside, and were still concentrating on preparing the materials for the anti-magic enchantment. Five minutes later, everything was ready, and one of the mages activated the anti-magic enchantment.

Hibbert's ball disappeared.

Then it reappeared.

The older mage smiled at Mary Joa and said:

"We can try..."

Watch this scene.

Everyone couldn't help but feel horrified.

"Back off!"

Marie Joa reacted:

"The abnormal time domain is spreading outward, damn, stay away from that mage!"

"The two of them have entered a time loop!"

The others are not fools either.

Although they lacked knowledge of the Time Stop series of spells, the strange scene in front of them was enough to dissuade most people.

So everyone retreated one after another, leaving a buffer zone of at least 50 meters.

Everyone silently watched Hibbert jumping up and down on the corpse of the digger, their eyes full of fear.

No one knows how to deal with this light ball, maybe they can only wait for it to disappear automatically.

Even more embarrassing.

Although this stronghold is quite spacious, half of it is now occupied by Hibbert and his light balls. The remaining people can only be said to be in the other half of the space, which suddenly seems a bit cramped.

"Such a terrible spell will not last long. You guys stay here and keep an eye on him. If there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately. I will ask for the will of our Lord!"

Marijoa ordered.

The Scourge believers responded one after another.

Matthew also stayed at the front line, responsible for observing Hibbert's every move.

What made him speechless was.

This guy was actually studying the body of the digging worm!

"Teacher, do you really have no way to solve this light ball?"

Before leaving.

Marijoa came to Matthew again, and she looked a little unwilling.

Matthew quickly realized that asking for God's will, even for a patriarch like Marijoa, might require a certain price.

He sighed and was about to explain.

But at this moment, a delicate and lovely voice came from his shoulder:

"The time domain is the most difficult domain to interpret. The wizard who masters the time spell is the most terrifying. Even if you can solve his magic, he has other similar means that are enough to drive you crazy."

"Even the gods respect and fear the authority of time. They respect his power and fear his difficulty."

"But among all the great beings, there is a kind dusk creature who holds the authority of time, and that is the Crazy Second Hand."

A little fairy jumped out of the crack of time and space.

While explaining, she greeted Matthew intimately.

Marijoa looked alert:

"What are you?"

"Why are you here?"

The little fairy bowed to her politely:

"My name is Xiaoxiliu. Excuse me, can I take up a little of your time?"

"I want to talk to you about the deeds of the Crazy Second Hand."

Hearing this,

Mary Geoise was a little crazy:

"You want to spread the gospel of Crazy Seconds with a patriarch of the Scourge Cult?"

Xiao Xiliu was embarrassed:

"Uh, can't I?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm a novice too, I don't really understand the rules here... Can't I do it at all?"

Mary Geoise looked at her with murderous eyes.

Matthew coughed lightly:

"Sorry, she came to see me."

Said.

He stepped forward and whispered to Mary Geoise:

"She is the servant of Crazy Seconds, Crazy Seconds has been trying to win me over recently, but I'm not interested in these crazy guys."

"Even so, there's no need for us to be enemies with Crazy Seconds for the time being, right?"

Mary Geoise frowned.

In the past, she would have killed this little goblin, this guy's behavior was simply blasphemy!

But now, too many accidents have happened in the base, and for Matthew's sake, she has to prioritize.

"Take care of your elf!"

Marijoa said sternly, and then said softly:

"You are right not to choose the Crazy Second Hand. The Scourge Cult is a better destination for you."

"But let me ask you one more question. Did you not join them because you think they are too crazy?"

She looked at Matthew curiously.

Matthew shrugged:

"Oh, no, I think they are not crazy enough."

"Under the name of Crazy, what they do is actually very ordinary."

Marijoa was slightly startled.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head and walked away.

"Get your elf out!"

Watching Marijoa's back disappear on the square, a sorcerer named Doros, who was responsible for guarding this place, scolded Matthew fiercely.

He is Marijoa's adjutant and the nominal second person in charge.

Doros originally disliked Matthew and Zangula very much. Now that Xiaoxiliu has joined, if Hibbert's light ball was not still next to him, he would probably settle accounts with Matthew at this time.

"Be a good dog of Mary Geoise, idiot!"

"Do I need to make it clearer? It's not me who failed the mission, but you. Wasn't it you who was in charge of guarding the digging worm? You still dare to bark after something like this. If I were Lord Mary Geoise, I would peel off your skin first and let everyone see the consequences of not doing things well!"

Matthew didn't show any tolerance.

He blasted Doros so hard that his eyes almost burst, and the two sides almost fought.

But under the persuasion of others.

The two pretended to separate.

Matthew took the opportunity to lead Xiaoxiliu to another place.

On the other side of Hibbert's light ball, in the dark of the square, there were few people.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiliu, but you can see the current situation. Now is not the time to talk about the deeds of Lord Crazy Second Hand."

Facing the eager Xiaoxiliu.

Matthew rejected her again without any psychological barriers.

"I'm in the base of the Scourge Cult now. Do you know what's behind the Scourge Cult?"

Matthew tried to reason with him again.

Little Stream nodded obediently:

"I know that the big evil demon Trier is behind the Scourge Cult. He is the incarnation of the God of Midnight. The God of Midnight is the best at supporting forces in the human world in the Tianlun Palace. Recently, the organization seems to have the God of Radiance and Knowledge joining it, and there are some gods with weak divine power surrounding them, making it very successful."

Matthew's expression changed slightly:

"Do you know the situation of the Tianlun Palace very well?"

Little Stream shook his head:

"I just often listen to Mr. Crazy Miaozhen talking to himself."

Matthew hurriedly said:

"Then do you know what the power of the Midnight God is?"

Xiao Xixi thought:

"It used to be a powerful god, but later, in order to avoid the disaster in Tianlun Palace, many gods gave up part of their power. The God of Midnight also, but his situation seems to be a bit special. Mr. Crazy Miaozhen said that the God of Midnight God's current state is between strong divine power and weak divine power, which may have something to do with his clone Trier."

"In short, all the gods in Tianlun Palace respect him. He is at least on the same level as the God of Radiance and Knowledge, the Lord of Storms and Oceans, and the God of War."

Matthew asked again:

"Did Master Crazy Miaozhen ever say what the God of Midnight wants to do recently?"

Xiaoxiu said blankly:

"No, Lord Crazy Miaozhen doesn't like the gods of Tianlun Palace. He always says that they are a bunch of pigs. Whatever the pigs want to do, just let them do it. Why do you care so much?"

Her tone was extremely arrogant and her imitation was perfect.

That moment.

Matthew seemed to see Crazy Second Hand standing in front of him and saying these words himself.

His heart tightened.

Realizing that this was a sign that he was about to be contaminated by the crazy second hand, he hurriedly said:

"Thank you for the information. I have something to do now. Please come back."

"Send my regards to Lord Loa."

Xiaoxiuxi said unwillingly:

"Then you must listen to me next time."

Matthew vowed:

"Definitely next time!"

The stream reluctantly left.

Seeing the light on her body gradually dissipate, Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief.

He does not object to communicating with Crazy Miaozhen now.

Because he recently learned that the Crazy Second Hand is a special existence formed by Loa, the god of luck, swallowing the creation of dusk.

There is definitely a difference between him and ordinary dusk creations.

Otherwise, with the penetration level of the crazy-second target of the Fairy Flower Pavilion, the fairies would have collectively gone crazy.

Now I can only say that I am sick, but it is not too serious.

It’s just that you have to be very careful when coming into contact with the crazy second hand.

Matthew has to find a way to prevent and block the other party's invisible contamination.

otherwise.

It’s better to always do it next time!

Send away the stream.

Matthew turned to leave.

But at this time.

A gust of breeze blew over his shoulder. Matthew looked back and found that the stream stopped on his shoulder again.

"Why are you back again?"

Matthew asked.

"Ahem, it's me."

Hibbert's voice came from the goblin's mouth.

Matthew's expression changed instantly.

"What's going on with you?"

he asked quickly.

"As you can see, this is the Fairy Transformation Technique. I am ashamed to say that I have very few spells. I only have some attainments in the field of transformation, so I can transform into various forms."

Hibbert explained:

"I thought the goblin just looked pretty good-looking, so I imitated it. What do you think?"

Matthew took a look:

"I really can't tell the difference."

Hibbert said proudly:

"My transformation skills can indeed be hidden from most people."

But soon there was a hint of confusion in his tone:

"But I don't know why, there are still some deviations when I become a goblin, and this time the deviations are even bigger..."

Matthew stared at him fiercely, but he couldn't see any difference from the original Xiaoxiu, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Where's the deviation?"

Hibbert sighed:

"Normal goblins don't have reproductive organs."

Matthew squinted his eyes and looked at a specific part:

"Um, you have it?"

Hibbert said:

"Not only one, but two."

"I don't understand what went wrong."

"The field of transformation is really vast. I feel that I have only scratched the surface. Many times, transformation will have deviations of one kind or another, which makes people confused. I tried my best to think about it but I can't find a standard answer. Alas, Ma Xiu, why don’t you help me take a look?”

Matthew quickly stopped:

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

Hibbert said dullly:

"I do not know!"

"I was sitting there, and then the ground fell, and then I was here."

Matthew glanced back.

But inside the light ball, Hibbert's figure was still studying the diggers tirelessly. The Scourge Cultists stared at him as if they were facing a formidable enemy, obviously not realizing that the real Hibbert had left the place where time stood still. .

"So what did you find on that digger?"

Matthew asked.

Hibbert said:

"There are obvious traces of transformation. The power of ashes has been artificially injected into it, but this is not the key. I found traces of alliance spells on the corpse."

"This earth-burrowing insect was driven wildly by a kind of magic in the natural realm during his lifetime, and then the power of ash in his body overflowed, which led to his instant death."

Magic in the natural realm?

Matthew was slightly startled.

Could it be that in this small secret stronghold, in addition to himself and Zangula, there are also undercover agents from the Druid Order?

"I also discovered a secret. There are many pools next to the square. The carriers of the power of ashes are deposited in the pools. I guess these Scourge Cultists plan to further transform the Diggers here."

"The life span of the burrowing worms transformed through this ritual will be very short, but they also have stronger explosive power. The heads of these burrowing worms combined with the power of ash are enough to destroy any protective barrier."

Hearing this.

A word suddenly emerged in Matthew's mind-

Underground Temple!

"They want to use these burrowing worms to break through the druid's oak wall and protective barrier!"

Matthew made a quick judgment.

Hibbert nodded in agreement:

"I think it should be the case."

Matthew said again:

"Now that their purpose has been figured out, you should retreat first."

Hibbert shook his head and said:

"No, I will keep an eye on them here and see what bad things they can do. As long as they can't break my spell, I will follow them wherever they go!"

With such an ancestor.

The members brought into the Scourge Cult by Matthew really felt overwhelmed.

However, he still reminded:

"The Scourge Cult also has capable people. Mary Joa has left now. Next, you may face the projection of the Midnight God, or similar existence. They may not be afraid of your magic."

Hibbert said calmly:

"Don't worry, I'm ready to escape. I just came to say hello to you now."

"I'm afraid you will mistakenly think I'm stupid and can't even find you. In fact, I'm quite smart!"

Matthew smiled when he heard it.

Hibbert is indeed not stupid, he is just a little different from ordinary people.

He has known this for a long time.

But the opponent's magic strength still shocked Matthew.

"Can your time stop spell last forever?"

He asked.

Hibbert nodded and said:

"As long as the damage you suffer does not reach a limit, it can last forever."

"And my light ball can be moved after it is turned on. Is there anything else in this base that is very suspicious?"

"I'll go over and take a look later."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude.

Matthew quickly told him about the abnormality of the oak cage.

After that, the two of them made several secret agreements.

Not long after.

Matthew returned to the position where the Scourge Cultists were.

Zangula cast a meaningful look at him.

After a while.

Mary Joa came out of a small dark room with a red face. She tidied up her messy hair and announced loudly:

"This wizard will not be rampant for long. My Lord will send angels to destroy him!"

Everyone cheered when they heard it.

But at this moment.

The light ball that originally covered the digging worm suddenly disappeared, and Hibbert himself disappeared.

Everyone looked around nervously.

After a while.

The bright light ball appeared again.

All living things in the range covered by the light ball were bounced away.

"Stay away from that box!"

Mary Joa's expression was a little wrong.

However, no one could stop Hibbert who was using the time-stopping light ball.

He came to the box in full view of everyone.

Hibbert did not make any moves.

The oak boards outside the box broke collectively, and large pieces of wood chips fell down.

Everyone looked closely.

But what was inside was actually a huge crystal ball.

There were countless bubbles of various sizes suspended in the crystal ball.

The larger bubbles contained a stag, a girl, a vampire, a giant jellyfish and a goshawk!

Different from the normal animal form.

The bodies of these creatures all showed a subtle illusory state.

As if they were all spirits.

"You are in trouble! Mage!"

Mary Joa roared angrily.

The next second.

A dark light hit from the dome and poured into the crystal ball.

In an instant.

The fallen vampire suddenly opened his scarlet eyes.

He stared coldly at everyone present.

He exuded a majesty that ignored everything.

...

"Warning: You have noticed that an angel has taken over the position of the natural soul "Vampire Mosong" through a reincarnation ritual!

You realize that these unconscious natural souls in front of you have become the medium for the reincarnation of the gods of Tianlun Palace!"

...
