Chapter 447 Battle in the courtyard (six thousand words month)
Sherlock was hovering directly over the central courtyard of the Academy of the Dead, with a parrot standing on his shoulder.
Below are the undead lichs that occupy the entire courtyard space. Their eyes are flashing with gray light, and their magic power is being charged to the huge ugly box along with the flashes of magic arrays.
"kill him!"
Professor Baicai pointed at Sherlock above and ordered. The undead lichs who were standing there raised their heads one after another. Magic power soon began to gather in their hands, even on top of Sherlock's head.
Dark clouds with bursts of lightning and thunder began to gather.
"Hold on tight."
Sherlock shouted, then flapped his wings violently, began to climb quickly, and disappeared into the dark clouds.
Then, countless magic beams shot out from the courtyard towards the dark clouds. Those magic beams collided in the dark clouds, and different colors exploded in the dark clouds, looking like colorful cotton balls.
This barrage attack lasted for about a few minutes, and then the fire gradually ceased under the order of Professor Baicai.
Professor Baicai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the dark cloud in front of him. After all the magic stopped, the dark cloud was still there. It was obvious that this dark cloud was created by Sherlock himself using magic.
When the magic attack stopped, the dark cloud still showed no sign of dispersing. Professor Baicai watched the dark cloud carefully, and a color like fire continued to spread in the dark cloud.
With a high and clear cry, the flames suddenly burned the dark clouds, and a phoenix with spread wings rushed out of the dark clouds.
The huge wings were spread out to be dozens of meters wide. Under the wingspan, a large sheet of flames tilted down towards the lichs on the ground, and almost instantly and mercilessly submerged the lich students in the flames.
middle.
There was a sharp and ear-piercing cry wherever it passed, and the flames of the phoenix burned the controlled Lich students. Large swaths of flames flew past with the wings of the phoenix, and sprinkled on the center of the courtyard.
But compared to the huge number of Lich students, these flames can only harm a small number.
However, Phoenix's flames did not spread very widely. Not long after the flames burned, a large gray mist enveloped him, tightly wrapping Phoenix. Phoenix's flames were wrapped in the gray mist and could not break through. Look,
When you go up, it's like a ball of ash burning inside, flying randomly in the sky.
Sherlock looked toward the lich below, trying to locate the lich that had released the gray mist magic. It didn't take him much effort to find the lich.
Not Professor Baicai, but—a top student!
The top student was already in the same state as the other Lich students, with a gray light in his eyes. He raised his hands high and manipulated gray weapons to block Phoenix Phoenix's attack.
Sherlock suddenly raised his position a little higher, then flapped his wings violently and dived towards the Lich Academic Master below.
However, from the teaching building of the Academy of the Dead, a field of white gargoyles flew towards Sherlock. The gargoyles stretched out their sharp claws, bared their teeth, and grabbed Sherlock fiercely.
.
But none of those gargoyles could hurt Sherlock, and they were all smashed to pieces by Sherlock's punches.
But this also prevented Sherlock from diving towards the top student. And the crushed gargoyles were not simply destroyed. They began to be gradually reassembled in the process of being scattered, and soon they were reassembled.
, those casually turned into a tall humanoid creature with a pair of wings behind it.
It looks like a winged statue made of stone.
And there are still broken gargoyles added to the body of the giant statue of Nago.
The huge statue slammed its fist at Sherlock. Sherlock didn't dodge at all. He also raised his fist and smashed it towards the fist that was much bigger than himself. The two fists collided together and let out a cry.
There was a huge sound, and then dense cracks like spider webs appeared on the statue's fist. Each one was so big that the cracks began to spread along the entire arm of the statue. In almost three seconds, that crack
After exchanging fists with Sherlock, the various units began to fall apart. Large rocks fell towards the motionless Lich students below, smashing several skeletons into dust in an instant.
However, the statue did not stop moving because of this, but continued to wave another fist towards Sherlock, and that fist was also wrapped in gray magic power.
Sherlock took a deep breath, and then punched the stone fist that was coming towards him. Almost as soon as the two fists came into contact, the arm of the statue was smashed to pieces by the force from the fist.
The statue that had lost its two arms retreated two steps, and leaned against a building behind it with a "boom" sound. Debris from the smashed building fell sparsely, hitting the Lich student below.
On their heads, the smaller ones didn't matter, but the larger ones just smashed a few Lich students to the ground.
And the magic circle on the ground began to spread to the statue, and the magic power continued to flicker on the statue.
"Lord Sherlock, this statue looks different from an ordinary familiar puppet. It's better to find the person who controls it secretly."
Blue said in Sherlock's mind.
Just as Blue finished speaking, Sherlock was already searching among the Lich students for the person who might be able to manipulate the statue.
He soon found out that the person manipulating the statue was Professor Bacon.
Professor Bacon, like other lichs, had a gray light flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that Professor Bacon was also controlled by Professor Cabbage.
As for the method of controlling them, Sherlock guessed that it might be the huge magic circle under the Academy of the Undead.
"Lord Sherlock, what should we do now? Should we kill the top student and Professor Bacon together? If you think about it this way, for the sake of peace in the underground world, we must do this."
Blue said in Sherlock's mind again.
"Although your suggestion is quite good, I can't just kill the free labor force I finally found."
Sherlock rejected Blue's proposal without even thinking about it.
He looked in the direction of the gate of the Academy of the Dead, and there were some unusual noises there.
Professor Baicai obviously noticed these noises. She turned her head and looked at the crystal ball in her hand. The picture in the crystal ball made Professor Baicai simply unimaginable.
The undead army that was originally used to block the players has now been swept away by a huge Gundam.
Those players just followed the Gundam and cleaned up the remaining skeleton soldiers.
Players' Gundams were first dismantled by Yoda and then assembled on-site in the stronghold, because the Gundam parts were designed by the boss of Hemp Rope Science and Technology, and the convenience of disassembly and assembly was also taken into consideration.
The people who assembled the Gundam were all very skilled players, so they didn't spend too much time.
Have those Liches ever seen such a weapon? Players who could be resurrected infinitely have already made it impossible for them to break through the defense line. Now there is a tall Gundam that cannot break through the defense line. Let alone the defense line, they even defend the front.
Can't live.
Arthur is sitting in the cockpit of the Gundam. In front of him is a simple observation port. His mission is to use the Gundam to break through the defense of the main entrance so that players can enter the Academy of the Dead from the main entrance.
"What is this?"
Professor Baicai asked in disbelief, muttering to himself.
But no one came to answer her question. Sherlock flapped his wings, his hands gathered together, and the white magic began to gather. Sherlock looked at the statue in front of him, which was covered with magic runes.
.
When the white magic power gathered into a light ball, Sherlock threw the light ball in his hand towards the statue in front of him. The light ball traced a bright trajectory and hit the statue. A sudden burst of light,
There was also a deafening sound that made the entire Academy of the Dead tremble.
The white light ball hit the statue, and the huge impact was like a meteorite hitting the ground. The heat wave that exploded and the impact force pressed the statue against the building.
But it only took a few seconds. Soon the statue was melted by the huge ball of light, and the buildings behind it were also evaporated.
The explosion centered on the ball of light and spread to the surroundings. The rising fireball appeared in the central courtyard, and the huge magic power swept away the surrounding Lich students.
Professor Baicai couldn't believe what she saw. Because she was a certain distance away from the center of the explosion, she didn't suffer much damage.
But Professor Baicai has never seen a high-level demon with such magical power.
Of course, Sherlock was not relaxed. After he solved the statue with one shot, he also showed a tired look on his face. In addition, the players kept resurrecting and using magic energy shells. Sherlock fanned his wings and stopped at
From the building nearby, it looked like he didn't intend to continue fighting.
But Professor Baicai did not intend to let Sherlock rest comfortably. She ordered the top student and Professor Bacon:
"Continue to attack while the superior demon has not yet taken a breath!"
She ordered.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a big hole was smashed into the building next to the courtyard with a loud noise and dust all over the sky.
A Gundam that had been painted in colorful colors was holding a long sword that was twenty or thirty meters long. The Gundam destroyed the building of the Academy of the Dead in just one attack. Behind the collapsed building
, there are groups of players looking at the lich in the courtyard with fanatical eyes.
There are still some skeleton soldiers around who want to stop them, but after the skeleton army was swept away by Gundam and magic energy cannons, these scattered skeletons are no longer a threat.
"Damn, this is too awesome. I want to be a Gundam too."
"Brother Hemp Rope, don't say anything. After this battle, I will go back and get married with you. Please make me a Gundam, please."
"Go ahead and pick your feet. I am a cute girl and a hemp rope boss. I promise to provide you with a full set of services. Please help me make a Gundam."
Some players have already gathered around the Gundam's feet, begging the hemp rope engineer in the cockpit with Arthur.
But the boss of Maso Science and Technology couldn't hear what the players below were saying. The height of the Gundam reached tens of meters, and those players were no different from ordinary ants in front of the Gundam.
Coupled with the special materials used in the Gundam, sounds from outside are rarely audible inside.
Arthur sat in the cockpit and looked at the situation outside the observation port. Groups of lichs were standing in the courtyard. An ugly and huge box made of bones and minced meat was placed in the center of the courtyard.
A huge magic circle was flashing at their feet. It looked like an evil ritual, and their lord, Lord Sherlock, was sitting on the building opposite, in front of Sherlock.
, is a huge crater caused by the explosion. It was obvious that a fierce battle had just occurred here. As for the Phoenix, I don’t know where it flew to Phoenix.
"Arthur, attack that big box. Although I don't know what it is, it looks awesome. If you smash it to pieces, there will definitely be no big problem."
In fact, Arthur had already controlled the Gundam and walked towards the huge box in front without the hemp rope engineer's command.
As for the lichs, the gray light shone more and more in their eyes, and all kinds of magic began to gather in their hands. The beams of magic flew towards the gun controlled by Arthur like rain.
, but those magic beams had no effect at all when they hit Gundam's body.
"Sir Sherlock, what materials did you use to make the Gundam? Why does magic have no effect on him?"
Blue asked in surprise.
"Nothing, I just spent nearly ten million magic stones to buy a rare ore that is almost insulating against magic power and covered it with a layer of it. I felt it was quite painful before, but now the effect seems to be better than I imagined.
It’s so much, I didn’t expect to use it so quickly.”
Sherlock stood on the railing of the building, watching Gundam pass by the Lich students who were madly casting magic on him, and said with a smile.
"You are really far-sighted, Lord Sherlock."
Blue flattered him very appropriately.
"Although it is insulated from magic power, it has a big shortcoming in terms of defense. It is at least much weaker than Unit 1, but it is enough to deal with these skeletons. They don't have any heavy weapons."
Sherlock said with a smile.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw the manipulated academic master tear open a scroll. From the torn scroll, gray magic power spurted out and gathered on the academic master's body. Soon, those gray magical powers
, split into small balls one by one, and wrapped the fragments of the huge building on the ground. The magic power wrapped the fragments and flew towards the Gundam in front of them.
"Arthur! Be careful!"
The boss of Ma Sheng Polytechnic shouted, and those little gray balls flew over.
No need to be reminded by the hemp rope engineering boss, Arthur had already seen the ball of light flying in front of him. He quickly made a sideways dodge in the control room. The huge Gundam, following Arthur's movements, also
He rushed to one side. Many players on the side didn't even react yet because they were suppressed by the Gundam controlled by Arthur. The players who saw all this didn't think much.
It's not that they are dead, but they are thinking about whether something will happen to their equipment. After all, if such a big thing hits it, no matter how hard the equipment is, it may turn into a discus. Can equipment like this be repaired?
Many players think this way.
Those small gray light balls did not hit the Gundam, but fell on the heads of the players behind the Gundam. In addition to the physical damage caused by the fragments to the players, there was also the wrapped gray magic power that hit them.
Magic explosions occurred on the ground or on the players, and soon a series of explosions sounded among the players.
"Fuck, find cover quickly!"
"Is it the top student attacking us?"
"Isn't it stipulated in the plot that we will rescue the top student?"
"Half of my guild's equipment is gone!"
After the explosion, some players complained and shouted, but they still consciously looked for shelters because they were worried about the second wave of attacks from the top students.
As for Arthur, after a very embarrassing side roll and dodge, he put one hand on the ground, then straightened up, the huge Gundam made the same movements as Arthur, and then rushed towards the ugly box in front of him.
passed.
Although Arthur wanted to kill the academic master who launched the attack first, the distance between the academic master and him was too far, and there were so many Lich students blocking the way. It was really difficult to get past.
Too likely.
Because Arthur knew very well that the defense of his Gundam was not very good, but the magic resistance was quite high.
He took a step forward and rushed towards the ugly box. Along the way, he slashed the Lich students in the attack range with his huge long sword. Every time the sword went down, it would sweep away a group of Lich students, those witches.
Although the demons have made great achievements in undead magic, their defense and offense in close quarters are not even as good as that of an ordinary beastman. How can they stop the attack of Gundam?
But Professor Baicai didn't feel distressed by this, because there were still many lichs in the courtyard, and her ritual had reached the final stage, and what she had to do now was to stop this giant iron monster from advancing.
Professor Baicai raised his hands, and the bones of the scattered Lich students quickly formed a huge bone wall under the control of Professor Baicai's magic power, blocking Gundam's path.
"I won't let you stop me. This is the final stage of resurrecting Lord Plumeria. The whole world will tremble under Lord Plumeria's feet, and you are no exception. All sacrifices are worth it!"
Professor Baicai said this. She turned around and walked towards the huge ugly box in front of her without hesitation. Flesh-colored tentacles stretched out from the box and began to wrap around Professor Baicai. The magic power on the Lich students began to increase.
The faster it is absorbed by the magic circle, but that's all it can do. Obviously, the magic circle has its limits.
Professor Baicai’s skull face had a fanatical expression:
"Lord Plumeria! Let us become one! Let me be the last brick in your resurrection!"
The tentacles wrapped around the skeletal Professor Baicai, and the magic power from Professor Baicai was quickly absorbed. Before long, she was sucked into a pile of powder and thrown into the air.
The players looked at the scene in front of them, and some of them thought it was over. Is the mission going to fail?
But after waiting for a long time, there was no change in the huge box. The magic circle was still desperately absorbing the power of the Lich students. The huge box was shaking. Although they didn't know why, the players seemed to be able to feel it.
I can see the anxious and anxious mood expressed by that box.
That feeling is like saying:
"Why the hell am I not full yet?!"
Arthur controlled the Gundam and had already broken through the defense of the bone wall. He wanted to rush over and destroy the ugly box, but he had just approached and before the giant sword in his hand could slash down, his whole body had already entered the plot mode.
middle.
Sherlock flapped his wings and slowly hovered between Arthur's Gundam and the huge box. He folded his arms and observed carefully for a while:
"Professor Baicai's math doesn't seem to be very good. She sacrificed herself even before the charge was fully charged. If this is normal, wouldn't the resurrection of Plumeria fail?"
Sherlock said looking a little dissatisfied.
"Lord Sherlock, this is a very good opportunity. Let's quickly destroy this resurrection ceremony. The Demon Committee and the Merchant Alliance will definitely give us a large amount of funds as a reward. We can purchase a new dungeon core and a large amount of materials.
and war equipment, I can already see the picture of conquering the underground world in the future. The first step to conquering the world starts with conquering Winterfell!"
Blue said excitedly.
But Sherlock didn't answer him. Instead, he flapped his wings and kept getting closer to the huge box in front of him.
The flesh-colored tentacles seemed to sense the approach of the source of magic power, and stretched out tentatively towards Sherlock.
Sherlock did not dodge, but raised his arm, letting the flesh-colored tentacles wrap around his arm, and the magic power began to be absorbed continuously.
"Lord Sherlock?"
Blue asked somewhat incomprehensibly.
"It's nothing, I just think that this Plumeria, judging from the appearance, is quite high-quality, and should be very suitable to work in our eternal kingdom dungeon. I will give him a promising salary that will satisfy him, of course.
The premise is that he must be resurrected first, are you right?"
Sherlock looked at the box that was constantly flashing in front of him and said,
As for the box in front of him, after absorbing enough magic power, all its flesh-colored tentacles retracted and soon let out a deafening roar.
