Chapter 42 Shield
"Here is here." "It's starting." Shur and Suff stood up almost at the same time.
The two did not wait beside the target and wait for it to emit the jade light. That would be too dangerous. God knows what changes the environment will occur when the jade light is emitted, and there is no room for maneuvering on the side. Therefore, the two of them returned along the original tunnel and guarded the entrance and exit of the tunnel, so that they could respond in time if there was an unexpected situation.
No one turned on the lights, and the tunnel was pitch black. The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder against the wall. No one spoke, thinking about their own thoughts in the darkness.
It wasn't eight minutes before, but in the tunnel next to it, a bright green light suddenly appeared. The light was very weak, but it was particularly obvious in the absolute darkness.
"Bang." Slap the old place and Seul grabbed Suff who wanted to enter the tunnel, "You are a little impatient today."
Saff was indeed a little impatient. After all, this was related to the city where she grew up. Although there were many people she hated in the city, there were also many people she was familiar with and caring for. Thinking that these people were in crisis, the female swordsman was inevitably panicked.
"Sorry, I've lost my composure."
"Adjust the mentality as soon as possible, it is very dangerous." Article 11 of the Mercenary Code: Mercenaries who lose their calmness will sooner or later become dead mercenaries. There may be exceptions, but please rest assured that the exception will definitely not be you.
"Yeah, I get it."
"Go." Stabilize your emotions, and the two of them move forward cautiously with the green light. The green light looks weird, very much like the color of the soul fire, but in the energy perception, it is just ordinary light, and it is not even considered a jade light, because the jade light can penetrate all obstacles and penetrate directly into the sky, and this green light cannot even penetrate the rock wall of the cave.
When I returned to the cave, I saw a strange scene as soon as I walked out of the tunnel.
The huge metal block ignored the constraints of gravity and floated upwards at a distance of tens of centimeters from the ground. The metal shell was still dark, but the patterns nested on it began to shine, and the green light moved upwards from the uneven fractures along the lines on the metal surface. Soon, all the patterns were filled with faint green light, making the metal block floating in the air look like a strange work of art.
Unexpectedly, reasonably, these patterns were indeed not that simple. Neither Shuer nor Suff had the intention to speak, and kept silent tacitly.
When the green finally filled the cone and even the tip was covered with green light, the cone shook suddenly, and a thin green light shot upwards in a cone shape and sank into the rock above the head.
"Strange, so strange." When everything finally ended and the Emerald Light entered a two-hour continuous stage, the two looked at each other, and from their eyes, they could see the doubts in each other's heart.
Everything is normal, and the concentration of the surrounding destruction energy has not changed at all, just like the appearance of the Emerald Light and the Destruction Light have no connection.
"Impossible." Shuer frowned tightly, his heart full of confusion. "No practical weapon should have meaningless functions, so I originally speculated that the Emerald Light should be a guide to friendly forces, which probably means that the light covers the light is the strike range of the light, so as to prevent friendly forces from repeatedly attacking."
"If this is true, once the Emerald Light locks the target, it should be followed by the Light of Destruction, which means that the concentration of the destruction energy around it will definitely change, but why... is it because the weapon has failed?"
"It was the same before." Savu guessed, "Can it be that the two have no connection. Although it is emitted by the same thing, it is essentially two functions. The function represented by the Jade Light has not been activated yet?"
"It is possible, but it is also possible that it is because this is just a fragment. Some of the functions of the Light of Destruction were damaged, so it did not emit directionally with the Light of Emerald, but spread to the surroundings. Well, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. The Light of Destruction should also be a directional blow, and it should not spread indiscriminately like now. Otherwise, the creatures that manipulate these weapons will have no life enough."
"Wait, Shuer, something is wrong, there is a change." Savre suddenly exclaimed, grabbed Shuer's hand tightly, well, almost crushed his hand bones.
No wonder Suff was so surprised, because the light of the jade did change.
The previous jade light shot into the sky from beginning to end, and the light column extended into the void. But now it has changed. It is speculated that after the green light penetrated into the rock above the head for a distance, it suddenly spread around, turning into an arc-shaped light film and extending back in reverse, covering the area around the cone in the light film. As for whether there is any jade light shot out outside, the two of them must not see it in the cave, but since the light has formed a light film, it should be gone.
"Is this... a shield?" Sav felt that the number of surprises he was surprised today was more than in the past few years.
The green light film fell in front of the two, isolating the two from the metal vertebrae to both sides. The light film is very thin and cannot even block the line of sight. You can clearly see the scene on the opposite side through the light film. It is hard to imagine what effect such a thin light film can have, but...
"Shul." Suff's voice was timid, "Is there something wrong with my energy perception?"
"No problem, the energy of destruction has indeed subsided significantly."
Yes, since the light film appears and isolates both sides, the destruction energy has become extremely thin, as if it is being confined to the inside by the light film.
"Give me the scroll."
Without waiting for Suff to take action, Shuer directly pulled out a magic scroll of fireball from her belt, and she teared it open without thinking. With the smell of burning air, a fireball with a diameter of half a meter appeared out of thin air and smashed towards the light film. Shuer's position was very clever, and he would not affect the metal vertebrae, and could allow the fireball to be borne by the light film.
Boom, the fireball hit the light film, just like hitting a physical body, and a violent explosion occurred. The air waves hit the face, and the dust and gravel on the ground were blown away. The ground opposite the light film was not spared, and the gravel was also flying around, but with its dynamic strength, both of them discovered that the flames that should have spread with the explosion, but they only wanted the two to spread on the side and did not affect the opposite side at all.
"Energy Protection? Sassa, give me the weapon." Shuer approached the light film and slowly came over the big sword. As soon as he touched the light film, he felt a powerful force coming from the hilt of the sword. Fortunately, he prepared in advance and held the hilt of the sword with force, otherwise the big sword might have been bounced away.
"I remember the enchantment on your sword is penetrating and sharp. Well, that is, as long as it is energy, it will block it, including non-aggressive energy." As he said, Shuer put his mace close to the light film. This time, the mace passed through without any obstacles, as if the light film did not exist at all, "ineffective against divine energy."
"Where is the life energy?"
"Um..." Xiuer thought about it, took a deep breath, dissipated all the protective energy, and walked into the light film tentatively. Without being blocked, he easily penetrated to the other side. As soon as he passed, he felt the ubiquitous energy of destruction again. Fortunately, he didn't foolishly take off the protective suit, otherwise it would be troublesome.
"A very effective energy shield." Returning to the outside of the shield, Shuer said thoughtfully, "I seem to understand what's going on. It seems that we have guessed wrong before."
"Not a weapon of destruction?"
"It is not ruled out that they also have extinct weapons that use the light of destruction, but at least this is not in front of them." Shuerxu said according to the light film, "On the contrary, this is guardian. It did not take effect before, but it should be because of insufficient energy, so it was not activated. Now that it has absorbed sufficient energy, it can take effect normally."
“Is sufficient energy a light of destruction?”
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, this weapon should be charged with the energy of the Light of Destruction. It was the Light of Destruction that visited Pavatiga not long ago, which provided it with sufficient energy, so the timing was so coincidental. As for the destructive energy that affected the nearby destruction of the Lion City, haha." Shur pointed to the uneven broken tip, "It has become so broken that the internal energy cannot be protected from leaking, and the creatures around him are in trouble."
"The extremely purity energy we sensed before should be its energy storage part. It can store such a huge amount of energy in one go. The light of destruction in the void is really terrifying."
"But I think the creatures that make these things are even more powerful." Saf learned to pass through the sides of the light film several times. "Pavatiga is entirely protected by the gods to avoid the damage of the light of destruction, and they can actually use it as energy, and it feels like this is beyond the realm of mortals."
"Maybe." Shure frowned and thought, "I'm thinking that the light of destruction often only happens once every one or two thousand years. It's not entirely up to luck to recharge it."
"Maybe their world's light of destruction is very frequent?"
"That's so terrible, it's like a nightmare world." Shure curled his lips. If there was really the kind of world Savre said, living would probably become a luxury.
"Wait, it's not right." Suff suddenly thought, "Shul, didn't you say that Lord Luna has blocked the light of destruction several times in the past few thousand years? Why did it not charge in the previous few times, but this time it took effect?"
"Because this time it's the most dangerous."
"Um?"
"Today's Light of Destruction is the last one that my Lord discovered, and it is also the closest one to Pavattiga. The previous Light of Destruction was blocked when it was still far from Pavattiga Star beyond our understanding range, but this time, hehe, it's only a little short. If we find it a few minutes later, we probably won't know if we're afraid."
"God, thank you Lord Luna."
