Chapter 68: Self-destruction

When Gao Fei was hesitating, a dull roar suddenly came from inside the royal tomb, as if something was exploding violently.

Immediately afterwards, the huge and towering pyramid began to collapse!

This ancient building, which had stood on the island for hundreds of years, fell apart before the eyes of Gao Fei and others, collapsing into ruins with billowing dust flying into the sky, leaving people with only regret and shock.

The game screen switched again, and the camera turned back to the Holy Ax Hall deep in the royal tomb.

Joseph Cooper drove the war figurine alone, blocked the narrow tomb passage, and successively released "Spider Web" on the ground to seal this only way and delay the pursuit of the frost giants as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the web trap is useless against a more powerful caster.

Gelmir stood at the door of the Holy Ax Church and waved his hand to create an ice-shaped bridge laid flat on the spider web.

General Schroeder led two frost giant warriors onto the ice bridge and approached with murderous intent.

"Damn you big guy! Try this again!"

Seeing that the "Spider Web Spell" was ineffective, the dwarf weapon master released the "Fuel Spell" on the ice bridge.

The ice surface was already very slippery, but the frost giant warrior who was rushing ahead accidentally stepped on the greasy grease and fell to his feet.

The dwarf laughed loudly, controlled the mechanical arm to raise the flamethrower, and sprayed a stream of flames on the ice, igniting the grease and forming a blazing wall of fire, temporarily blocking the pursuers.

Immediately afterwards, Joseph Cooper did not hesitate to activate the reserved electric energy, and manipulated the war figurines to raise their fingers to point at the tomb corridor filled with ice and fire, and continuously blasted out "lightning beams".

The bright electric light traveled across the tomb passage, first hitting the leading frost giant and passing through the chest, and then bombarded General Schroeder and another frost giant warrior behind him, as if they were skewering candied haws.

The "Lightning Beam" finally shot towards Gelmir, but was counterattacked by the gloomy-faced Ice Tower Warlock.

The dwarf artificer had no hope of killing Gelmir, so he continuously stimulated lightning and sprayed flames. After a short time, the fuel of the flamethrower was exhausted, and the electric energy stored in the war forged was also used up.

The dwarves fought hard until they ran out of ammunition and food. Without any thought of retreating, they rushed into the tomb passage with their war figurines and swung their war hammers at the frost giants.

"Stupid dwarf! You've caused us enough trouble!"

With an angry look on his face, Gelmir slowly raised his right hand and used the strongest professional ability of "Frost Warlock" to blast a highly compressed magic power out of his palm, which exploded violently on the chest of the war figurine!

The extremely cold energy released instantly turned into countless criss-crossing ice edges, which actually pierced the steel armor of the war warriors and penetrated deeply into the cabin.

On the driver's seat, Joseph Cooper's body was pierced by several ice edges, and blood poured out along the ice edges. His trembling fingers slowly reached for a red button.

A roar came from outside the cabin.

General Schroeder rushed over with his "Frost Inscription" held high, holding the sword in both hands and stabbing hard!

puff!

The giant sword penetrated the porthole of the war warrior and penetrated deeply into the dwarf's chest.

At the last second when he was about to lose consciousness, Joseph Cooper finally pressed the red button, and the war figurine exploded and turned into a huge fireball, with molten steel fragments sputtering wildly!

The extremely violent explosion not only destroyed the tomb passage, but also damaged the foundation of the royal tomb, causing the entire building to collapse.

It's a pity that the dwarf artificer risked his life to explode the war figurines, killing only two frost giant warriors, but failed to bring General Schroeder and Gelmir to death together.

The moment the self-destruction occurred, the Ice Tower Warlock was aware of it, and without thinking, he instantly cast the 3rd level "Ice Wall Technique" to create a five-foot-thick hemispherical ice cover to protect himself.

The shock wave caused by the explosion destroyed the ice cover, but Gelmir himself was unscathed.

General Schroeder was injured all over his body, but he managed to survive with his strong body.

The game screen once again cut back to the outside of the royal tomb. After witnessing the death of the dwarf uncle, Gao Fei felt unspeakably heavy and even regretful.

If I had listened to Uncle Joseph's advice and waited for him one more day, maybe he wouldn't have died here.

Of course, Gao Fei knew that this was just a game, and the sacrifices of NPCs were also pre-designed plots. However, thinking from another perspective, life cannot be repeated, and there is no use regretting things missed. Games are different.

After all, we can still load the file and start over, right?

For a moment, a strong impulse surged in his mind. He really wanted to read the file to two days ago and tell Uncle Joseph personally that he was willing to wait for him to go with him. The next plot development might be very different...

However, looking at the surviving companions beside him and looking at their tired faces, Gao Fei finally suppressed this irrational thought.

"let's go."

Gao Fei got on his horse, shook the reins, and galloped towards the dock.

At the same time, he received a system prompt that the long and difficult adventure on Rest Island finally came to an end.

"You have reached the plot milestone of this chapter, Astrology Energy 1!"

The high-flying berserker reaches level 9, has hp 11, proficiency modifier 1, and acquires the professional ability "Whirlwind".



Whirlwind: Spend an attack action to attack all hostile targets within the reach of the weapon at the same time.



Since "Earth Shock" and "Bloody War Cry" will not directly cause damage, "Whirlwind" is the Berserker's first lethal AOE skill.

When activated, swing the weapon in a circle, and perform attack rolls and damage rolls on all enemies within reach.

Considering the mechanism of "Whirlwind", this skill is very suitable to be paired with long-handled weapons to expand the killing radius.

For medium-sized characters, such as humans, the attack radius of most weapons is only 5 feet. A few two-handed weapons can attack enemies within 10 feet, such as spears, long whips, spiked chains, great swords, giant scythes, and giant swords.

ax.

That's right, the weapon model of Olaf's Holy Ax is a long-handled axe, which is suitable for launching "Whirlwind".

Larger characters, such as the Frost Giant and the young red dragon transformed by Goofy with the help of the "Dragon Warrior Heart", can use larger weapons with a larger attack radius.

The red dragon's natural weapons include dragon claws, dragon fangs and dragon wings. The attack radius is only 5 feet, but the dragon tail can hit targets within 10 feet. It can hit a row when it is thrown. If combined with "Whirlwind Slash", it can stick out its butt.

By turning in a circle, you can sweep enemies within 10 feet around you in 360 degrees without blind spots.

There is another way to play, which is to use a giant ax after turning into a red dragon. This can be discussed in two situations.

First of all, usually, human characters can only use two-handed axes, but large red dragons can use one-handed axes.

In this case, the size of the great ax remains unchanged, the base damage die remains 1d12, and the attack radius remains 10 feet.

The advantage of a red dragon holding an ax in one hand is that it can free up one claw to attack, make spell-casting gestures, or use magical devices such as the "Efreet Gauntlets".
