Chapter 149 The legendary spell of broken magic crystal
At the top of the giant cone of Kane, Ertu flew quickly towards the human city. He wanted to detect the movements of humans.
Imric felt that an extremely evil force was rapidly approaching, activated the [Advanced Invisibility Technique], and the figure disappeared into the invisible.
A huge flaming beast passed over the peak of Cairn. Imric saw that the monster's body was covered in flames, with a pair of abominable bat-like wings, and a weapon composed of fire and thunder hanging from its waist.
Great sword.
"Barlow Fire Demon?" the mage muttered to himself. Although this monster is larger and bloated, its appearance is extremely consistent with the description of the Barlow Fire Demon in "The Knowledge of the Abyss Plane".
There are the highest beings in the [Abyss], and every Balor Balrog is a close associate of the Demon Lord, or they themselves are the Demon Lord.
The challenge level of the Balor Balor is as high as level 20, which is equivalent to a level 20 warlock, and each Balor Balor holds an extremely terrifying beheading sword. They are very terrifying warriors, even the strongest among the true dragons.
The existence of the golden dragon must reach the stage of the ancient golden dragon before it can be confident of defeating the opponent.
What's even more terrifying is that each Balor Balor can summon another Balor Balor of its own kind to help fight, although most of the time the summoned Balor Balor will be extremely angry and attack the summoner first.
Imric stood in the cold wind, silently watching the back of Balor's rapid flight, thinking about how to kill this abyssal beast. Obviously, this important task could only be left to himself and Drizzt.
, everyone else is not the enemy of this terrible demon.
At this moment, Imrik is extremely lucky that he has learned the fourth-ring magic [Death-proof Barrier]. Otherwise, facing the Balor Balrog's spell-like ability that is comparable to the nine-ring instant death spell - [Implosion], I am afraid that he would not be able to do it at all.
There is no chance to face each other.
Imrik activated [Teleportation] and left the Great Cone of Cairn, and he needed to remind the troops in Bryn Sander to prepare.
——
When Drizzt arrived at Bryn Shander at dawn, the sight before him was not pleasant. There were crazy shouts from the distant town of Tamaran. Drizzt knew the towns on the shores of Lake Dulden.
They have all fallen into enemy hands.
The armies of the Ten Towns gathered in Bryn Sande, and the rest of the army was naturally temporarily abandoned.
The sky before dawn showed a slight blue color, and what appeared in front of Drizzt was an army of goblins and orcs as large as the sand sea, as well as a large number of giants interspersed among them, but this was not the most distressing thing for Drizzt.
Yes, when he saw the barbarian king also leading the barbarian army into the monsters, although he was once an enemy, he still thought it was an insult to that brave warrior.
"How many goblin tribes have you gathered, Akar Kessell?" he sighed. "How many giants have called you their master?"
The city walls of Bryn Shander were already covered with people. They looked at the monster army outside the city in horror, waiting for the opponent's attack with anxiety.
Imric was mixed in the crowd at this time, and he felt the evil magic hidden in the army, and the Balor Balrog was walking towards the head of the army.
Countless goblins divided the two sides, leaving a blank road. The people on the city wall saw that just like Moses dividing the Red Sea, the abominable demon walked out of the army, and a powerful supernatural magic gathered in his hands.
It was like some unknown life form was beating alive in the devil's claws.
"What's that?" asked Regis, joining the crowd of spectators on Bryn Shander's Wall.
"A demon," Imrik replied. "A very powerful demon."
The demon bent deeply and concentrated on the ritual of eliciting the power of the crystal. It stood the crystal on the grass, took a step back, and shouted out vague ancient spells. The chanting became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the sky was rising due to the sun.
And started to shine.
"Is that a glass dagger?" Regis asked, confused by the rhythmic pulsing of the object.
Then, the first rays of dawn break across the horizon. The crystal begins to glow and attract light, bending its path and absorbing its energy.
The broken magic crystal shines again. As more and more parts of the sun appear in the eastern sky, its pulse becomes stronger and stronger, and this is just a copy of the hungry Clinshinibon.
The spectators on the city wall stared blankly in fear, wondering whether Akar Kessell had power over the sun itself. Only Imric associated the power of the Shattered Crystal with the light of the sun.
"Is it absorbing the energy of light? It's interesting, an evil artifact, but it uses the most dazzling light as food."
Under Imrik's watch, the magic crystal began to grow.
Each time its pulse reaches its peak, it expands, then shrinks a little as it prepares to begin its next beat. Everything nearby is cast in shadow as it greedily uses up all the sunlight.
Slowly, its size became larger and larger, and its top began to stand high in the sky. Neither the people on the city wall nor the monsters in the wilderness could look at the radiant power emitted by the magic crystal tower. Only the dark elves and the monsters standing in the distance could
Only demons who were not afraid of strong light saw the sight caused by Clinshinibon.
The third magic crystal tower appeared. When the ceremony was completed, the tower also released its control of the sun, and instantly all places were bathed in the morning sunshine.
The demon roared because the spell was successfully cast, and then proudly strode into the magic crystal tower.
The surrounded residents of Bryn Shander looked at this incredible building with a mixture of awe, admiration and fear. They could not resist the unworldly beauty of the Magic Crystal Tower, but they knew the consequences of the tower's appearance.
:Akar Kessell, master of the goblin and giant armies, has arrived.
At first, there was a flash of red light inside the transparent wall at the bottom of the magic crystal tower, which began to rotate upward. Then the top of the tower also began to flash blue light, turning in the opposite direction and moving downward. They slowly rotated.
Moving, blending into a green mass when they met, and then separated and went their separate ways. Everyone who saw this anxious performance began to feel uneasy. It was not clear what would happen next, but this scene was certain.
It must mean that some huge power is coming.
The rotating light is getting faster and faster, and the intensity is getting stronger and stronger as it accelerates. Soon the entire base of the tower is surrounded by a ball of green light, so bright that people can't look directly. A slender figure with black fingers.
Nail polish, a man in a sleek red robe stepped out of the light.
The goblins immediately knelt down again and buried their heads on the ground. Akar Kessell came.
He looked up at the direction of Cassios on the wall, and his thin lips showed an arrogant smile. "It's so nice to see the spokesperson of Bryn Shander!" he said with a smile. "Welcome to the
My beautiful city!" he laughed sarcastically.
Cassios, the leader of Bryn Shander, did not doubt that the wizard had singled him out, but he did not remember seeing this man, and did not understand how he could be recognized. He looked at Regis and Im
Rick, asked for an explanation, but both men shrugged.
"You know me," Cassios said to the weirdo. "But I don't know you. It seems you are taking an unfair advantage."
Kessell sneered and said: "Is this important? From now on, I will replace you and become the master of Bryn Sander and even the ten towns!"
Cassios frowned and said: "Leading the Ten Towns requires outstanding talents and excellent character. You are not worthy."
Kessell was furious. He stamped his feet impatiently, his smile turned into a displeased frown. He stretched out his hands and made a self-righteous declaration: "Look at Akar Kessell, the tyrant of Icewind Dale,"
He shouted. "People of Ten Towns, your master has come,"
"Don't speak too soon..." Cassios began, but Kessell interrupted him with a furious scream.
"Don't interrupt," the wizard yelled. The blood in his neck was surging and his face was as red as blood.
Then Kessell seemed to regain some of his composure as Cassios said nothing in disbelief at the wizard's lunatic antics. "You should learn a lesson more, Cassios," he threatened, "learn a lesson more!
"
He turned to the magic crystal tower and read a simple command. The tower turned dark for a moment, as if it refused to emit reflected sunlight. Then it began to glow. The light seemed to come from deep, and most of the light it emitted did not look like
It was a reflection of daylight, but seemed to be emitted by itself. As time passed by, the tone of the tower began to change, and the light began to rotate and rise along the strange wall.
"Look at Akar Kesso!" the wizard looked proudly at the people on the distant wall.
"Behold the splendor of Clinshinibon, and give up all hope!"
More light shone in the walls of the tower, shaking rapidly, condensing, spinning and dancing wildly inside the tower, crying out to be released. Gradually, these lights gathered at the top of the tower, and suddenly it seemed like it was on fire.
Emitting firelight, the colors change one by one according to the spectrum, until the white flame is as bright as the sun.
Kessell shouted like a god.
Fire, was released.
It turned into a thin line and shot towards the unfortunate town of Targos in the north. Many people watched from the walls of Targos, although the tower was much further away from them than from Bryn Shander, and it looked like nothing more than a plain.
It was just a bright spot. They didn't know what happened in the main city, but they saw a ray of fire coming towards them.
It's too late.
Akar Kessell's anger shot into this proud city, leaving a trail of destruction. Fire burned from this fatal line. People on this route were vaporized directly before they had time to shout.
. But those who escaped this initial attack had faced a
People who had died more than a thousand times, including women, children, and men who had been tempered by the tundra, all screamed. Their cries spread to Lonewood Town and Breemen on the other side of the lake, and to the joyful goblins of Tamaran.
In his ears, it spread across the plains to the horrified witnesses of Bryn Sander.
Kessell waved his hand and slightly changed the angle of the energy release, causing the destructive energy to sweep across the entire Targos. Every major building in the city was burned, and a large number of people were burned alive or directly killed.
The energy ray cut off the head, and the few survivors rolled helplessly on the ground trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, or desperately trying to find air to breathe in the thick smoke.
The entire city was cut into two halves by this spell.
Kessell was very satisfied at this moment.
But he suddenly felt an unknown tremor rising in his spine, and the tower seemed to begin to shake. The wizard held the broken magic crystal tightly, and he realized that he had overused the power of Clinshinibon.
In order to satisfy his arrogant and show-off personality, Clinshinibon gathered a large amount of energy, enough to release nine-ring spells 10 times. The energy was gathered at once, releasing this energy ray that destroyed a city.
On the Spine of the World, the first tower built by Kessell was reduced to a pile of rubble. In the distant tundra, the same was true of the second tower. The Magic Crystal Tower had withdrawn to other areas it affected, destroying
The image of the tower absorbing its power.
Kessell also became very weak due to this entire influence, and the remaining light on the Magic Crystal Tower gradually weakened. The light emitted flickered on and off, and finally disappeared completely.
Imrik looked at the tragic situation of Targos in shock. Is this the power of that artifact? This power has surpassed the existence of mortals. Even the nine-ring spell cannot do it. It destroyed a city with a snap of a finger.
And there was no preparation of casting time or casting materials, which gave Imric a feeling of déjà vu.
"Beyond the Nine Rings. Is it a legendary level of power?" Imrik looked into the distance silently. This kind of power will not be released at no cost. Even if it is an artifact, I am afraid that this level of power can only be used once a day.
This mage is really stupid, just using his power to massacre a group of civilians.
When the invasion first began, Kemp and the other egotistical leaders of Targos made a pact with the people to fight until the last man fell, but now even the most stubborn spokesmen understood that they had no choice but to flee.
The choice was made.
"Pay attention to what you see here, people of Bryn Sander!" Kessell said with a contemptuous smile. "Bow down to your master, otherwise, the same fate will befall you, and there will be no one behind you.
Lake! You have nowhere to escape!"
Under Kessell's order, the monster army was dispatched.
Imric looked at the surging monster army in the distance. His figure flashed and appeared next to Drizzt outside the city wall. He had already seen the figure of this dark elf.
"Drizzt." Imric said seriously.
"You must find a way to find the power to destroy that magic crystal tower. I will resist the monster army here. Can I trust you?"
Imric knew that this agile dark elf knew how to sneak in and obtain the situation better than he did. What's more, even the strongest mage would have his own weaknesses. He believed that this stupid mage must have a greater weakness.
It’s just that they don’t know it yet.
If Drizzt fails, Imrik will immediately abandon the Ten Towns and activate [Plane Travel] to return to the demiplane. He will not be able to rely on his own strength to deal with an existence that can release legendary spells.
Drizzt nodded slightly, turned around and walked away. The dark elf didn't say a word, but his resolute back was enough to tell everyone that he was determined to die.
