Brian walked along the path through a weedy forest in Shadow Valley, and what caught his eye was a gurgling river.
On both sides of the river are pebbled mudflats. The water in the river is cold and sweet. From time to time, wild deer and rabbit can be seen climbing out of the woods and running to the river to drink water.
It was dusk at this moment, and the orange sunlight shone on the ground, making the fields appear intoxicating and warm.
It was the second day since Brian rescued the Ranger Azara last night. As he expected, after Azara showed off the real Azaba fall as the son of the voter, the residents of the valley responded to his call and joined the battle to recover the Shadow Valley.
At the same time, the armed forces hidden in the dark, the harpist scouts and the elves reinforcements from Comanso joined one after another. The battle lasted from early morning to noon the next day, and finally cleaned up all the occupying forces of Shadow Valley and the mercenaries and mercenaries recruited by the Dark Trade Network.
With the recovery of Shadow Valley, after the Dark Guard Sailuer learned the news, he immediately led his Black Hope Legion to join forces with the Shar Church and the Drow family hiding in Shadow Valley, and cooperated inside and outside to retake it back.
So, a battle to defend Shadow Valley began again.
Brian was not involved in the upcoming battle because he had more important tasks to do.
His plan is naturally to take this opportunity to sneak into the lair of the Lich Arokar and destroy the dark ritual of the Lich and the Priestess Aesville to tear the magic net.
Soon, Brian arrived at a ruin located on a hill in the north of Shadow Valley.
Facing the cold breeze, he could see from a high place, and in the fields far away from the Shadow Valley, a few children were playing and playing among the haystacks. The scarecrows in the fields became no longer terrifying in the warm sunshine, but they added a little cuteness.
Thinking of his next dangerous task, Brian retracted his gaze, took a deep breath of cold air to refresh himself, and walked towards the ruins without hesitation.
This was once a ruined ruin called the "City of Severe".
In the Valley Calendar 834DR, in the year of the Lion Leap, an army called itself "Shining United" braved the difficulties and obstacles to build a castle here.
They hope to use this place as a base to expel the Drow rulers under this land.
From then on, the battles continued to develop on the surface and underground here, and this castle was therefore called the harsh city.
In this way, about thirty years passed, and in the end, in the year of 864DR, Shining Union failed.
Most of the castle was destroyed by huge explosions in the final battle, and the remains of ruins and tiles left behind were mostly decaying as time passed.
Today, few people will come to this long-destroyed ruin, although Santalin occupying forces occasionally come to patrol here.
In fact, the basement of the castle had long been secretly occupied by the wizard Arokar, and a lich nest full of dangers was quietly established.
Brian carefully stepped into the ruins, and he activated the detection magic to find the way to the lich's nest based on the richness of the negative energy floating in the air.
However, he had not yet conducted a carpet search, and something that surprised and shocked him happened.
It seemed that he could feel the strangeness around him. As Brian instinctively raised his head, he immediately saw a large cloud that was darker than a dark cloud. In an instant, he condensed into shape and covered his head, covering all the dim light in the sky, turning the surroundings into darkness.
Feeling the rapidly declining temperature, Brian's expression suddenly became highly vigilant.
Although the space he is in has been completely obscured by similar "Deep Dark Technique", he, with the real vision of legendary grace, can even creatures hidden in the ether plane, let alone this darkness formed by magic.
Obviously, at this moment he was ambushed by the enemy. Someone had expected in advance that he would search for the lich Arokar's nest, set up a trap here in advance, and waited for her to jump in.
After figuring out the reason for the problem, Brian, who was originally a little nervous, calmed down. After all, he had already expected this situation before setting off.
What he was most worried about was that all the enemies were hiding in the lich's underground palace, and using the hiddenness of the nest and the complex terrain of the underground palace to stop him.
In this case, it would undoubtedly be a huge challenge for him. After all, the nest carefully arranged by the lich is absolutely comparable to that of the caster wizard tower.
But the enemy foolishly chose to ambush himself outside the nest. If it weren't for their inflated self-confidence, then Brian would have doubted whether their heads accidentally hit the wall of the lich's nest.
"Hehehehe..."
As the shadows enveloped, the dense ghost creatures made various sounds: deep or sharp, whine or howl, and various screams of pain or ecstasy. Like a surging tide, Brian emerged all over his mind.
Faced with this kind of human wave tactic, Brian, as the legendary spell caster, was not afraid at all. With a moment of thought, his heart was electrocuted, and in a flash, the blue and white light flames transformed from the energy of the curse fire surrounded him. All ghosts within 1 meter of him made sharp and painful wails, turning into light smoke and dissipating in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Brian seemed to sense something, and reached out and pointed, a blue and white fireball the size of a washbasin condensed from the energy of a curse was like a cannonball, heading towards a large group of shadows that were approaching him with the help of shadow energy.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, the fireball shining with blue and white light suddenly burned a raging fire in the shadow energy cloud, and dispelled the surrounding darkness at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But soon a huge dark energy that made Brian feel suppressed, like a galloping horse, rolling in, extinguishing all the burning flames around him and turning them back into a deep, cold dark space.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Accompanied by the slight wriggling of a ball of shadow energy, a figure wearing a black robe, holding a staff, and a faint red light flashing in his eyes appeared in Brian's sight. "I didn't expect you to have mastered the control skills of curse fire so quickly, which is really surprising."
The sign embroidered on the black robe that saw the figure clearly: in the black vortex on the dark orange bottom, there was a monocle glasses, and Brian immediately recognized that the enemy who attacked him was Egerra, the tenth prince of the Ghost City.
In the game world, he has never even seen the scene where the other party really takes action. Even the players who joined the power of the ghost city have seen him in public.
Now the identity of the sneak attacker has appeared in front of him.
Based on some information he has mastered, he probably knew that Egerala was also a spellcaster of the dualist divine Gods. However, unlike Brenas, he was not a file scholar, but a part-time job as Reverend Shar.
"So it's you." Brian, surrounded by blue and white light, looked around vigilantly at the dangers that might appear at any time. When speaking, calm down his tone as much as possible.
At this moment, he had already realized that the space here had been blocked, and it was obviously impossible to teleport and escape through normal means.
But this is not a threat to him. After all, he has another profession: a psychic warlock, which is his fearless reliance when facing Egerra.
"It seems that you know me, and I must have done a lot of investigations in advance. After all, legendary strong men like me are always afraid of the enemy at any time." Egerra looked at Brian calmly and said in a slightly proud voice:
"But the only thing that surprised me was that you were so calm when you saw me. Even if you showed a slightly surprised expression, you could satisfy my vanity. Why? The young mage lord, tell me why?"
"Can you show a surprised expression help me increase my success rate of escape?" Brian knew that the reason why the other party was so stinky was simply that he was deliberately delaying time and brewing some methods to deal with him.
He secretly prepared the spell and said in a relaxed tone, "If this is the case, the next time I see you, I will definitely be shocked by my chin. What do you think?"
"Not really." Egerella snorted lightly, then raised a sneer, "Because you don't have the next chance."
After the ghost prince finished speaking, his phantom suddenly disintegrated and disappeared without a trace.
His true body, which was shrouded in shadow, had taken out the magical staff inlaid with the illusion crystal, and prepared his spell calmly.
Seeing the disappearing Egerra, Brian instinctively felt that the shadow space shrouded in darkness became more and more depressing. Obviously, the other party was likely to be preparing for some powerful spells.
Moreover, as the shadowed space became darker and more depressing, even making people feel a little breathless. Brian also noticed that the purple dragon seal ring he was wearing was also heating up as the space changes.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly noticed that the shadow energy behind him suddenly became richer, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air and powerful power were wrapped in a rolling black cloud.
Obviously, there were more than Egerra who was ambushing here and attacking him.
——"Arcane Sequence!"
Brian did not turn around, but just looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and the staff suddenly paused towards the ground. All the enhanced versions of the stone wall technique he set in advance in the arcane sequence were activated.
Behind him, solid walls emerged out of thin air, blocking him tightly to protect him without leaving any gap.
The rolling shadow energy turned into a strong warrior in black armor. He rushed towards the stone wall that was rising from the ground with a dazzling speed, like an arrow.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…"
With dozens of rock shattering sounds, the fireball technique attached to the shattered stone wall exploded, drowning the attackers behind him in a sea of ​​fire.
At this moment, Brian didn't have time to check who the attacker behind him was, and immediately met another strong shadow energy on his left hand.
As soon as he raised his staff, he was shocked to see in the rolling shadow energy, a shocking rainbow sword energy condensed from dark energy soared into the sky, slashing towards him with a sharp aura.
A terrifying energy roared, and Brian passed a will exemption identification on the spot. If he had not had his will attributes, he would have been shocked by this sword energy and allowed the other party to slash him on his body.
This made him instantly recognize that the enemy who attacked him was definitely the prince of Oripa, the ghost city.
If a ghost who is a sword saint is really slashed on the defensive field by the opponent, he will definitely die on the spot.
——"Divine Duncan cleavage technique!"
Brian didn't dare to be careless and held his breath to concentrate. When the whistling sword energy was approaching, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, and a faint golden light appeared in the dark space, instantly locking the sword energy that came out of thin air.
Along with the surrounding space, a burst of subtle, shattered sounds sounded, and this terrifying sword energy turned into shatter with a "bang" sound, dissipated in the air, revealing an ancient Netherworld sword full of dark runes.
"How is it possible, why can his cleavage technique resolve my attack?"
The seventh prince Oripa, who showed a thin figure, looked in shock as a subtle crack appeared on his "goddess" and his dark face was full of heartache.
However, just when he was lost, the shadow sword saint, known as the strongest glass man, had already been caught by Brian to counterattack, and the "Meteor Blast" in the legendary staff was instantly activated by him.
Four meteorites burning with raging flames dragged the smoke-rolling tail and smashed the ghost prince upwards.
"Do not to escape!" Behind Brian, the second prince Yada, who happened to break free from the flames, quickly shouted at Oripa.
The Seventh Prince, who came to his senses, was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He activated the shadow shuttle characteristics of the ghost in time, turning into a rolling black fog and disappearing.
"Boom!"
Four meteorites fell on the ground like meteors, making earth-shaking sounds. The terrifying explosion completely turned the ruins into ashes.
Seeing the ghost prince who was avoiding it, Brian said intimidly.
If your spell hits the opponent, he will definitely be able to kill him instantly.
The reason why his cleavage technique can resolve the opponent's attack and even leave traces on his natal weapon is thanks to the gift from Azus, the god of the mage.
The hidden attributes of these two legendary spells allow his rupture, dissociation, and magic-dispelling spells, all with a faint divine power, which can create unexpected effects.
As the Seventh Prince avoided Brian's spell attack in time, in another dark corner, three sharp arrows lingering with countless roaring souls broke out into the air, wrapped in the wail of the souls, and shot towards Brian.
The miserable wail of the dead soul pierced Brian's mind like a sharp arrow, and was bounced back by the spiritual barrier he had blessed in advance.
——"High-level protective arrows!"
Facing the three sharp arrows that broke through the air, Brian's thought moved, and a polyhedral diamond barrier shining with a cold and cold light enveloped him.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!..."
Accompanied by three crisp sounds, all the sharp arrows were deflected and shot into the distance.
But what surprised Bryant was that the countless souls on the sharp arrow were all attached to his defensive barrier and emitted a continuous stream of spiritual attacks.
In the blink of an eye, he felt his spiritual barrier obviously begin to dim.
He activated his teleportation trigger without hesitation, trying to forcibly escape from this space blocked by the ghost princes.
A magic array light flashing with the brilliance of spiritual energy appeared.
Immediately afterwards, dense black mist suddenly emerged in the space covered by shadow energy, turning into a dark web, completely covering Brian.
At the same time, the attacks of the second prince Yada and the seventh prince Oripa came, carrying powerful forces, and slashed on Brian's body almost at the same time.
"Click..."
As the protective barrier shattered layer by layer, Brian's body turned into light fog and disappeared as soon as it touched the blade, leaving only a yellow oak leaf, which slowly fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Egerra, who had just curled up his smile on his lips, frowned immediately. He forced himself to stop the legendary spell he was about to prepare for, reached out and the yellow oak leaf that fell on the ground flew to his palm.
"I was careless, he actually had a flash. No wonder he dared to look for Arokar's nest alone with fearlessness."
Agerala stared at the Oak Leaf and murmured to herself, "I thought that by blocking the teleportation space of arcane and psychic energy, I could completely kill it with legendary spells."
As a spellcaster, he naturally knew how difficult it is to kill a wizard with a strong enough power to reach the legendary realm.
What's more, the other party is a legendary psychic sorcerer, so in order to prevent Brian from escaping his soul after being killed, he reborn through cloning or spiritual astral world, he carefully prepared a magic circle for the other party to grab the soul.
If he was allowed to release his legendary spell successfully in the battle just now, he could not only completely kill the other party, but also gain the arcane knowledge stored in his mind and the mystery about curse fire.
Obviously, he failed.
"What is this leaf?" the second prince Yada came over and asked.
"It looks like... the method of the goddess of the forest." Aegrera glanced at the veins that looked like trees, threw them away, and said in a plain tone: "It's obvious that this kid also brought helpers."
"Then what should we do next?" Yada solicited his opinion.
"Don't worry, he can't escape from my palm."
Agerala calmly took out a dark orange lens, put it on her right eye, stared at the disappearing space coordinates of Brian thoughtfully, and said with a murderous intent: "Since he wants to play the same game as us, I'll play with him."
"Notify Ramolak." He gave Yada the order, "Let him open the Eye of the Ancient City in the Floating City, build astral ward management leading to the Shadow Valley, and make every effort to prepare for long-range support."
