Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 32 Suicide Sacrifice
But the heart shrank a lot at this time, and the tree had disappeared, and the water pool turned a poisonous purple color and was still bubbling.
"Well... there was a tree here before, but it disappeared. The water also became..." If his heart hadn't been there, Alexander would have thought he had entered the wrong room.
"Why is this heart so small? Is it possible that we beat that man to death?" Fageni wondered.
Hawkins threw an ice-blue potion to freeze the poisonous pool. "It's like the energy supply device was drained of most of its energy at once."
"Um...so we should kill those vines?" Alexander looked over.
"My spells will most likely burn my heart. It's better for you to help me with this kind of thing." Hitz shook his head.
"That one is called the Parasitic Demonic Vine. It has a strong regeneration ability, so just leave it alone." Hofis explained.
"Then don't care? Let's go down?" Alexander decided not to care.
"The person you see on the next floor now should be Charlotte?" Fageni guessed.
"It should be." How did Alexander know?
"That...Miss Hoffis?" Heath hesitated and stepped forward to speak.
"Huh?" Hawkins retracted his gaze and looked at his heart.
"Is Chester okay?" Heath asked.
"You can tell such a trivial matter just by looking at it yourself." Hofis looked at the elf.
"Then let's go down?" Alexander urged, not wanting to be delayed.
"Let's go, let's go down early and fight early." Fageni went to the lower level, Kanas following behind.
"Mainly, I'm a little worried after he suddenly collapsed after fighting with us for so long. After all, he's still just a novice." Heath lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Oh, Miss Hawkins, don't mind too much. That's all she is. Let's go, if there's nothing else." Alexander stopped and continued walking.
"Hasn't your companion already judged the situation, or do you not trust the judgment of your companion?" Hawkins asked curiously. Everyone else left the room and moved forward, leaving Heath and Hawkins alone.
"Your team is very strange. In some places it seems like they have a tacit understanding of being together for more than ten years, but in other places they are just like a makeshift team." Hofis commented as he walked.
Several people stepped on the mechanism that was exposed after the ice melted. After the downward passage was opened, strong blood spurted out with a foul smell.
There was no moss on the stone slabs on the fourth floor, nor was there any damage. However, the entire room was illuminated by blood-red light, but there was no light source.
Before Alexander could think of how to reply to Hofis's comment, he frowned because of the fishy smell. "A lot of people must have died down here."
"Why can't this battle be fought at least cleanly?" Fageni waved his hand and tried to slap away the blood, but it was in vain.
"I have tasted the familiar smell of blood and stench at the sacrifice sites in the aphotic zone too many times." After all, Kanas is in the sea.
"In the sea?" Alexander asked casually.
"Of course, the smell in water travels farther than in the air." Kanas shook his head.
"As expected. This thing called Charlotte below has eaten countless people." Alexander walked away. "Keep the formation and move forward."
"This smell is so strong..." The elf took two steps and covered his nose in disgust.
"Where to go..." Fageni stood at the front of the team and looked around. There were only doors on the north and west sides. According to the structure, there were only four rooms here.
"Shall we go to the west first?" Alexander turned around and asked.
"Okay." There is no difference between the west and the north to Hitz, and he doesn't know what's inside anyway.
"What about you, Hophis? Do you know where you are going?" Fageni turned to look at her and asked.
When Hophis heard what Alexander said, he had already walked to the north door, and then threw a bottle of magic potion that released six colors of brilliance at Fageni. "You go to another room, between these two rooms."
One must be an energy supply node, or both. Break this bottle of magic potion at the critical moment, and the powerful elves sealed in the potion will help you."
At this time, Hophis opened the door, and there was a large flesh golem in the room... This thing was weaker than the earth golem, and no serious spellcaster would choose this.
Fageni caught the potion and hung it on his belt.
"Okay, I understand." Alexander walked towards the west door. "Let's go."
Fageni opened the west door before Kanas. Inside the door was a "man" wearing a black and purple wide-sleeved robe. He was eight feet tall, holding a huge wooden stick in his right hand, and a huge wooden stick in his left hand.
It's a string of big brown wooden beads.
Beside "it" are four magic circles drawn with the blood of several female corpses, with smelly candles that may have been boiled in corpse oil burning in the middle.
"Should we first ask who it is out of politeness?" Alexander drew his arrow and prepared to shoot.
"Charlotte?" Fageni asked, and then ran forward immediately.
"The first lesson for deep-sea warriors, anything you see at the devil's sacrificial site cannot be trusted, even if it was once your teammate." Kanas' six blades were unsheathed and he charged forward.
[He doesn't look like a good person...] In order not to delay casting the spell, Hitz could only complain in his mind.
Alexander shot an arrow but was deflected by something. "Well... it's really difficult to do it when the magic power is empty."
"The new nutrients are enough to complete the ritual." The tall "man" dressed like a high priest spoke with a sonorous voice. The "man" waved his ruler, and six spell formations were formed on the ceiling, which smashed down many ice spikes.
Fageni tilted his head, and his armor was enough to completely block the ice spikes. Kanas's six blades swung, shattering all the ice spikes.
One of the two women barely managed to dodge most of it, and the other used a shield to resist but could not completely resist. At this time, three of the five candles in the first ritual circle were extinguished.
Fageni crushed the ice pick that fell on the ground and rushed forward. He unsheathed his long sword with both hands, and then turned the hilt of the sword to release a sword energy. He was a bit too much, and he was blocked all over the world with one move, but he was blocked a few times.
Quite a few.
Naga's figure rushed like the wind, and the adamantine scimitar slashed through the tall man's chest lightly. The "man" was covered in fat, and the huge wound only cut out a large layer of dark yellow grease.
The fourth candle went out, leaving sixteen candles.
The flames that burst upwards after Shiz cast a spell only burned away the hem of his robe, while an invisible barrier blocked most of the flames.
Alexander sighed and continued shooting, but was still blocked.
"Glory to the earth, my saint is coming." The string of big beads scattered regularly and hit the base of the wall. The entire room was illuminated by a huge light, and even briefly dispersed the blood light.
"Be careful, this is probably not a good thing, don't be fooled." Alexander warned loudly.
"You're right, it's better to be vigilant." As soon as Hitz finished speaking, a large light screen array was formed based on the big bead and began to break. Countless fragments shot out randomly. All four people were seriously injured.
.
Fageni rushed forward, slashed him four times with swords in both hands, and then retreated to one side. But the barrier was too strong.
Hitz chanted the incantation again, and a large amount of fire elements penetrated into the surface, but the result was the same. Alexander's third arrow still failed.
"Magnificent light, shadow in the corner of the alley!" The extinguished candles in the four magic circles burned fiercely, and an extremely thick fog of darkness enveloped the high priest, forcing Kanas and Fageni back into the corner.
Four "men" with elements of fire, ice, earth, and wind who are casting spells are generated on the four magic circles. Because these clones are continuing the ritual dance, they will still leak out of their entities for several moments.
The moment Fageni hit the wall, he rushed forward again and launched a sword ring attack, but the sword energy was completely swallowed by the black mist.
"Evil heretic, lead to death!" Kanas saw the right moment and destroyed a clone. Then Shiz's spell also destroyed a clone. These clones had no barrier protection.
Alexander also hit the clone with an arrow. Several people felt that the black mist was growing vigorously as if it were alive, but currently only one clone was left undamaged.
"Be careful, there's something wrong with this black mist." As soon as Kanas finished shouting, the skyrocketing black mist engulfed everyone and corroded their skin.
Fageni gritted his teeth, spit out bloody foam, and ran towards the last clone. The moment he destroyed it, the black mist finally dissipated.
Kanas drank a bottle of medicine and rushed towards the "man" in the center of the room.
But Shiz's flame blast still had no effect, and Alexander's arrow took the opportunity to penetrate the weakened barrier and add a second wound to "The Man".
"It finally worked." Alexander was about to cry.
"The ritual has been completed." The guy fell forward, and the blood and golden light dissipated together.
"I have a bad feeling." Alexander needed to take a breath.
"How...how did he die?" Fageni was a little unbelievable.
"Obviously it's some kind of sacrifice, it's definitely not a good thing." Alexander wiped his sweat.
"Why didn't he try that thing again and beat a few of us to death before committing suicide?" Fageni gasped for air. "Forget it, we can't bring him in with a normal person's mind."
After falling to the ground, the corpse began to slowly melt away, but the black mist overflowing from the corpse was dispersed by eight large luminous beads in the corners that were not completely broken. Soon there was only a loose robe left on the ground. Kanas was not
Plan to wear it.
And Shiz felt the sacred power contained in the big bead, which felt warm and comfortable. She picked it up and distributed the eight beads equally to her teammates. "They are trophies."
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this thing?" Kanas wiped the blood from his body.
"It should be no problem, these things even dispelled the black fog." Heath said.
"That's what I said." Before Kanas finished speaking, Fageni, who was sitting on the ground recovering from his wounds, interrupted him. "Charlotte should be in the next room."
As a battle-experienced adventurer and mercenary, Alexander could determine that this sacred power came from all of Brandon's solar realms.
