The corridor is very long, but attracted by the singing, it gradually comes to the end.
In the darkness ahead, a dark red halo lit up, and Matthew lit a magic fire, illuminating the outline of that corner.
He saw a large door, almost as wide as the entrance.
It's just that the door itself has been completely removed by some kind of force, and the top of the door frame is fused with a rock-like material. There is a hall symmetrical to the front door next to the door, and there is nothing in the hall.
The red light and singing came from outside the gate.
The two of them slowly approached the door and looked outside——
It was an extremely open and vast underground space.
Dark red light shoots upward from below, illuminating layers of halos on the rocks about twenty or thirty meters away from the horizontal line.
Not far from the door is a cliff.
Seven or eight meters below the cliff is boiling lava.
There is a ten-meter-long suspension bridge above the magma, and at the end of the suspension bridge is a platform that stands on the magma and is raised high.
The view behind the platform is blocked by the terrain, making it difficult to see clearly.
But Matthew was certain that the song that could confuse people's hearts came from there.
Matthew gestured to Clegg not to be impulsive, and the two stretched their necks along the door line to look at the situation near the magma pool.
quickly.
Matthew vaguely saw the remains of some buildings in the eastern part of the magma pool.
He turned into a raven, stuck to the ceiling and looked as hard as he could, but in the end he only saw two rooms on the ruins.
According to the distribution of the buildings, more rooms should be submerged in the magma.
…
"Hint: You discovered the psychic laboratory of the Antu Empire!"
…
Matthew realized that the ruins of the building were the real laboratory.
But what is going on with this magma pool in front of us?
This is the Moonglade. Even if it was hit by a starship from the Antu Empire, this kind of terrain would not be formed.
Strong uneasiness surged into his heart.
However, at this time, Clegg appeared a little impatient:
"I'll find the source of the singing, kill Queen Kuangse, and everything will be over."
"The highest level of the Queen of Kuangse can only be Level 5, because once she is promoted to Legend, she will transform into the ultimate weapon of the Kuangser Zerg - the Brood. The Brood is one of the most terrifying units in the astral space, but with the bugs here
The quantity is absolutely impossible to cover the consumption of a brood nest, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
"I'm very experienced in killing insects!"
However, Matthew still stopped her:
"Wait for me, okay?"
Craig glared at him with her thick nostrils. She seemed to want to rescue Samantha from being charmed as soon as possible, but in the face of Matthew's sincere request, she still nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Matthew took half a step back, knelt on one knee, and gently touched the ground with his hands.
"Balanced Perception"!
Matthew's eyes suddenly changed.
He saw that the energy field in front of him was like a piece of newspaper that had been torn into pieces and then pasted together with great efforts. The outline was complete, but the inside was already in pieces!
"I see."
"Within the gate, there is still the scope of the Moonglade. Outside the gate, there is the derivative space formed by the collision between the material world and outer space."
"There are many fragments of the outer plane that were attracted here by the gravitational force caused by the impact. This is how the magma pool came about. It is probably the fragments of a nearby plane connected to Purgatory that were attracted here."
Two seconds later.
Matthew opened his eyes, with a slightly tired look on his face.
Moonglade is a projection of the kingdom of Assia, a demiplane attached to the Prime Material Plane.
Fighting in the woods, no matter how bad the situation is, there is home field advantage.
But once you go outside, you can’t tell for sure!
at the same time.
He also noticed an extremely abnormal energy field in the vaguely visible laboratory.
Although the space outside the gate is fractured everywhere, its material form is still relatively stable. Only there is a huge gap in the laboratory - this is true for both the element layer and the material layer.
This made Matthew curious.
He jumped up and took a few glances down. Through a blurry glass wall in the laboratory, Matthew vaguely saw the outline of a rectangular parallelepiped.
That's a huge cement box.
The reason why it is described as huge is because it occupies nearly 2/3 of the space in the center of the laboratory.
There are some operation tables scattered around the cement box.
"Cement sealing?!"
Memories from past lives flowed out.
Matthew's heartbeat started to beat faster.
As far as he knew, when the Antu Empire dealt with failed experimental organisms, the first step was to pour a large amount of black technology cement into the laboratory.
The effect of this cement is almost as good as that of magic, and most creatures cannot escape this disaster.
Of course, once this mechanism, which is ostensibly used to prevent the spread of disaster, is actually designed to prevent technological leakage, is activated, most people in the laboratory will not be able to escape.
What is sealed in this cement box?
Are you mad at the Zerg?
Could it be that the Zerg invaded the starship named Dawn by accident? In fact, the people in the Imperial Laboratory committed suicide and released the bugs. In the end, even the blocking mechanism failed, and the entire starship eventually became a bug hive.
, leading to the tragedy of shipwreck and loss of lives?
Matthew didn't know.
He stared at the platform in front of him, and the song became more sad and sad, like a girl asking for help.
Clegg's patience was reaching its limit.
Matthew suddenly said:
"Let me go over and take a look first."
A few minutes later.
Matthew and A Bing walked out of the door and looked around on the edge of the cliff. From this angle, they could see the true situation of this underground space more clearly.
There are more than a dozen laboratory rooms standing next to the magma pool. Half of them were engulfed by the magma, and most of the remaining ones were filled with a large amount of cement. Only in the first few rooms can you find some items besides the cement box.
On the platform at the end of the suspension bridge, an oval-shaped rock protruded high, and the singing came from behind the rock.
Matthew kept walking on the edge of the cliff, but there was always a blind spot in his vision.
On the other side of the platform was a smooth ground, and Matthew saw wisps of golden sand, like an open-pit gold mine.
He stepped forward, crossed the suspension bridge with A Bing, and came to the platform.
Follow the direction of the song.
They walked around to the back of the rock.
The next second.
A dark shadow suddenly rushed over!
But before he could get close, A Bing killed him with two swish of knives!
The body covered in larvae choked and fell to the ground.
That was a Crazy Se infected body.
Matthew took a closer look.
The source of the singing was a crystal ball placed on the ground, probably from the infected body just now.
The next second.
The ground beneath his feet began to shake violently!
"Hiss!"
A sharp sound came from below the magma pool.
The suspension bridge that originally connected the two opposite banks suddenly shrank, and they turned into two thick tentacles. At the same time, the platform collapsed violently, and the stones disappeared layer by layer. What appeared next was a table with sharp teeth on the edges.
And barbed round mouthparts!
At the critical moment, A Bing jumped to the side and disappeared.
Only "Matthew" was left alone and quickly fell into the round mouthparts.
Along with this process.
The terrifying monster disguised as a platform finally slowly emerged from the magma.
Above the mouthparts, the body of a woman with an exquisite face rolled forward, and behind her were countless tentacles and spider-like joints.
One after another, pitch black and red, extremely slender jointed limbs rose up from the magma, making the monster's body extremely bloated.
She was like a deformed creature with ridiculously long legs and an upper body that was all mixed together.
Two tentacles more than ten meters long looked out of place among a bunch of insect-type organs.
…
"Tip: Your "mirror" has been destroyed!
You encountered the highly deformed Mad Queen (LV17/mutant template)!
Queen Kuangse is very angry because of your teasing!"
…
"'Mirror Image' is indeed one of the most useful spells. I spent more than ten days studying it in vain."
This spell was also the only spell that Matthew practiced diligently in early May.
I didn't expect this to come in handy.
Near the gate.
Matthew and Craig came out from both sides.
The latter looked at the fat monster with long legs in surprise:
"I have never seen such a crazy queen!"
"She smells of madness!"
Matthew just glanced at it briefly and then made a decisive decision:
"withdraw!"
Clegg did not question, she took a few steps back and held the two knives tightly:
"You go inform them and take Samantha away, I will follow you!"
Matthew didn't show any pretense, he just turned into a raven and flew away.
"Zizzizi!"
Queen Kuangse suddenly opened her mouth, and dozens of tongues with sharp edges like the tips of knives shot towards Craig!
Clegg remained calm in the face of danger, fought and retreated, and the two knives in his hands formed a chaotic dance.
Whoosh whoosh!
As the white light flashed, sections of blurry flesh and blood fell to the ground.
Queen Kuangse hurriedly retracted the remaining tongue in pain.
Craig succeeded with one blow, but he did not hesitate to fight. He turned around and chased Matthew in the direction he left.
She fought and retreated at the same time, taking full advantage of the Sword Master's high mobility.
Soon, she caught up with Matthew and his group.
Everyone quickly retreated towards the gate. Laila was the first one carrying Samantha on her back, Matthew followed closely behind, and Craig and A Bing covered each other.
Not long after.
They arrived at 1/3 of the corridor.
It's not far from the gate.
However, at this moment, a very strange sound suddenly came from deep in the corridor:
"Grunt! Grunt!"
A severe sense of crisis came from behind.
"Matthew!"
Craig suddenly raised his voice.
In an instant.
A fiery red light flashed from the depths of the corridor, and a stream of hot magma that covered 1/3 of the corridor area was ejected from the body of Queen Kuangse.
This magma was obviously not something that Clegg could withstand.
crucial moment.
Matthew pushed Craig away, flicked his right hand, and instantly grabbed the handle of the enlarged magic umbrella!
"Hide from me..."
The last word has not been shouted yet.
The hot magma flow severely washed away the protective shield of the magic umbrella.
Matthew felt a huge force hit his shoulder.
He was forced to fall backwards, but a solid and powerful shoulder held up his back. He looked back and saw that the person holding him up was none other than Craig!
There was no time to say thank you, so Matthew grabbed the end of the umbrella handle with great concentration.
Above the magic umbrella, there is a small umbrella-shaped pattern.
With the continuous erosion of magma.
The pattern gradually glowed, first translucent gray, then pale yellow, and finally orange-red!
It's now!
A very magnetic syllable suddenly burst out from Xiu Xiu's throat——
…
"Rodrick's Magic Umbrella (high imitation): After being hit and charging, do you want to activate "spell recoil?"
Spell Recoil: When the magic umbrella sustains energy impact or physical damage to a certain extent, the user can repay the damage (below legendary) in full!
Remaining times: 4/5;
Note: After the "Spell Recoil" times are consumed, secondary enchantment can be performed at any of Rodrick's spell workshops at a reasonable price (1,000 gold coins/5 times)!"
…
The tip of the magic umbrella suddenly rotated at high speed.
Immediately afterwards.
The flow of magma was suddenly reversed 180 degrees.
Just as the force of the attack on the magic umbrella was so strong at the beginning, the energy of the return is just as strong this time!
Hoo ho ho!
The magma that was returned in full force made the Queen of Madness retreat step by step.
Take this opportunity.
Everyone tried their best to escape.
Finally, I got out of the gate before Queen Kuangse caught up with me!
"Come on, take Samantha to the shrine!"
Matthew directed Laila and said.
Without saying a word, Laila carried the man and ran away.
"What about us?"
Before he knew it, Craig had taken the initiative to consult Matthew.
"We will send her to the West."
Matthew stared at the Mad Queen squirming out of the door with evil eyes.
You don't choose to retreat because you can't defeat it.
But Matthew felt that the edge of the demiplane was too unstable. If the edge of the plane penetrated, he might have to associate with the big evil spirits in the outer layer in advance.
"Back here, it's almost stable enough."
"You like chasing, don't you?"
Matthew raised his staff and pointed it at the Queen of Madness who was about to rush out of the door!
"Summoning the Undead: Bone Dragon"!
The negative energy array flashed clearly.
I don't know if it's because they are close to the outer plane, but the Bone Dragon trio came faster than before.
Almost as soon as Matthew raised his hand, the three of them smashed it down.
"Ability: Fixed point falling"!
In an instant.
Xiao Fei and two of his men pressed down on Queen Kuangse.
The weight of the three-headed dragon is no joke.
When the latter screamed, her bloated body also collapsed visibly to the naked eye. A large number of cysts were squeezed, and juice burst out all over the floor in an instant!
"Hold her down!"
Matthew put away his staff and threw a dissociation spell at her.
The gray light hit her upper body and immediately melted most of the "natural armor" of Queen Kuangse.
Matthew immediately put away his staff, his concentration was unprecedentedly concentrated, and then he grabbed the void with his left hand——
Claws of Astra!
Then he threw off the sheepskin glove on his right hand and made the same empty move——
Pale hands!
next moment.
Matthew drew his bow left and right.
The pale hand turned into a white iron fist and hit the Queen of Madness on the head hard;
Astra's Claw is more like a dexterous giant hand. It grabs the tentacles or arthropods on the queen's body and yanks them out!
He was held down tightly by the three-headed bone dragon.
Queen Kuangse could not move at all.
Matthew controlled two virtual hands at the same time with extremely dexterous hands, and a brand-new combat experience impacted his nerves.
He was obviously fighting from a distance, but he seemed to be experiencing the pleasure of punching to the flesh.
After a while, all the joints and limbs on Queen Kuangse's body were pulled out by him, and she herself seemed to be dying.
But Matthew was not careless.
He used the Claw of Esdrael to twist off the head of the Queen of Madness.
The pale hands then hammered the remaining body crazily like a whack-a-mole.
This scene lasted for a full minute and a half.
Until there was only a puddle of mud left near the gate.
Only then did Matthew agree to stop.
"You're right, Queen Kuangse is indeed not very good."
Matthew said to Craig beside him.
The latter didn't say anything, but looked at Matthew with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"The scene just now was too bloody and violent. I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a while."
"And I'm a necromancer, you know."
Matthew tentatively explained.
Craig's face immediately became serious:
"Are all the necromancers of Irondor like you?"
Matthew just wanted to restore the reputation of the Necromancer.
Just then.
His brain suddenly felt dizzy.
Immediately afterwards.
The world in front of him seemed to begin to distort, and a strong feeling of nausea surged into his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, Matthew saw that Craig was in the same situation as him.
He barely managed to calm down, and an unprecedented sense of oppression came from deep in the corridor behind the door.
Matthew saw a piece of rotten meat suddenly emerge from the puddle of mud. The piece of rotten meat jumped up and made a "hee hee hee" sound.
His brain seemed to explode with a bang - but only half of it exploded. Under the influence of a powerful force, the violent force was forced back!
A little nosebleed came from Matthew's nostrils.
In an instant.
He saw a silhouette in the darkness.
It was a messy mass of flesh and blood!
Just get close.
Countless murmurs poured into Matthew's mind, and twisted forces tried to tamper with his thoughts.
Matthew made a prompt decision, took out the godhead and put it under his tongue.
For a time, he sobered up a lot.
at this moment.
He finally understood what kind of monster he had encountered.
If he guessed correctly.
The slowly crawling monster in the darkness is the divine creation mentioned in the diary of the deputy director of the laboratory!
No.
That is not something created by God at all.
That's a...
God's evil!
…
"Warning: You have encountered a divine creature!
You were able to partially complete your saving throw with the aid of your demigod persona."
…
God's evil.
A terrifying creature that exists in the astral realm.
He represents the distortion and pain of the gods. Gods are usually born in the following two ways -
When a god is born, a trace of pain or distortion separated from his body and mind will often give birth to an incorporeal god if it cannot be resolved;
After the death of a god, a ray of resentment born from his corpse merges with the remains of the god and other creatures, and then a messy but divine flesh and blood is born.
It was the beast that Matthew saw before his eyes.
The level of the divine evil is very high, but the most terrifying thing is its ability to interfere with the will and soul. That kind of powerful power originates from divinity. Only the strong ones above the legend or the beings above the demigod can be exempted!
Matthew and Clegg join forces and are confident of killing all monsters below legend.
But not legendary or above.
Legend is a huge gap that separates mortals from saints.
Anyone who tries to challenge this divide ends up in a dismal end.
So the first time consciousness returns.
Matthew was ready to escape.
But before running away.
He suddenly noticed that the originally cool magical badge had become hot.
Matthew's heart moved and he tapped the badge.
Moonlight Technique!
A large swath of pure white moonlight shone near the gate.
The moment the moonlight fell, time seemed to freeze, and even the movements of the god of evil became extremely slow.
Matthew saw streams of moonlight flowing slowly like waterfalls, washing down from top to bottom, and finally shaping a human figure on the wall.
The goddess of moonlight, the projection of Asiya, suddenly arrived!
The projection's right hand waved gently, and infinite moonlight spread out.
Part of the moonlight shone on Matthew and Craig, and all the discomfort on their bodies disappeared, replaced by abundant strength and high emotions.
"You have done a good job, I will give you enough rewards."
There was as much joy as finding prey in Asiya's voice.
With that said, the projection walked towards the door without looking back.
Matthew saw the divine creature trying to shrink back into the laboratory, but its already extremely slow movements became even more sluggish under the influence of the Moon Goddess's domain.
Asiya grabbed the empty space.
The rotten meat was ingested near the gate.
The next second.
Asia opened her mouth with joy, and a bright white light extended from the body of the god of evil and slowly poured into the mouth of the Moon Goddess.
The latter was twitching constantly. He was originally just a pile of rotten flesh. With the constant trembling, pieces of meat fell from the edge.
And that bright white light is always connected between Asiya's mouth and the abomination.
His eyes narrowed.
It's like sipping on a bottle of delicious dessert drink.
The Moonlight Goddess at this time.
His whole body was shrouded in holy white light.
That ugly and evil god seemed to be the source of all original sin and ugliness in the universe.
Just this scene.
But it made Matthew feel extremely absurd and evil.
Asiya sucked it for more than ten minutes.
Until all the rotten flesh of the god's body was scattered on the ground.
Only then did he finish the action with satisfaction.
The Moonlight Goddess turned her head with a smile on her face and subconsciously licked her lips. Her movements were full of temptation and looked charming and cute.
Matthew smiled reluctantly.
The hair on my back stood up.
"Why are you so nervous? You don't have divinity or power, and I won't come to suck you."
"Or do you want me to suck you off?"
Asiya seemed to be in a good mood and even took the initiative to joke with Matthew.
Matthew's eyes were a little dissatisfied:
"So you have a way to come early, right?"
"You should have known there was an evil creature inside..."
His words were interrupted bluntly by Asiya:
"Don't think that I am so bad, Necromancer! I don't know anything about what is behind the door, and my power is not enough to maintain the long-term existence of the projection, so I can only watch you all the time - for me
I won't let those who do things die easily. Even if you don't shed that piece of moonlight in the end, I have other ways to get here."
As she spoke, she gently pointed at Matthew's shoulder.
Matthew looked back and saw that Ella had fallen asleep.
"Can you possess Ella and come to her?"
Matthew asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, although doing this will make the soul of nature fall into a deep sleep for a long time, I can't just ignore it."
Moonlight Goddess finished this sentence in a relaxed tone.
Then he winked at Matthew:
"The next step is reward time."
A flash of white light entered Matthew's mouth and quickly merged into the demigod persona.
…
"Tip: You have completed the side mission "Kill all the Crazy Seers!"
You have received the reward "Ability: Combat Casting"!
You have received the reward "Launa's Bounty"!
The bounty of the Moonlight Goddess——
1. Your demigod personality is injected with the "Moonlight Domain" and a large amount of moonlight elements!
2. The demigod has gained the ability granted by the Moonlight Goddess: the Demonic Seal!
Demon Seal: You can use this ability to try to seal some demons from the outer planes.
Every time you successfully seal an evil demon, you have a chance to get a random attribute point.
In the process of the demon being sealed, you will gain a small but steady stream of XP!"
