127. Change for me! (Thanks to the leader of the silver frost dye)
The brave and fearless Artanis led several elite subordinates and marched towards the depths of the Phantom City.
At first, he didn't notice anything or find any danger, but the instinctive vigilance in his heart kept reminding him that he should leave as soon as possible.
Artanis's sense of vigilance has always been very accurate. He was able to sit in the position of archbishop thanks to this keen intuition. If he hadn't taken into account his identity and responsibility, as well as the missing team, he would have followed his instinct and turned around and ran away.
.
As they continued to go deeper, Artanis felt that the vigilance in his heart was gradually fading. It seemed that this strange city was becoming safer and more comfortable, and he was slowly integrating into it.
But at this moment, his heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly woke up. He quickly cast two healing spells to help himself stabilize his mind.
The elite subordinates who were following him no longer had the usual toughness and ability in their bodies. Their eyes were blurred and they continued to walk forward distractedly...
And the armor and decorations on their bodies began to become lighter and lighter, becoming more and more like the clothes of those phantoms.
Artanis understood something instantly, and quickly took out the scepter in his hand and sang loudly:
"My Lord, may you bestow light and blessings..."
As he chanted, a gentle light began to emit from his body, and the subordinates surrounding him also came back to their senses. They worked hard to get rid of the bubble-like illusion on their bodies, and transformed again.
Back to normal.
Not only them, many people who were close to Artanis also woke up and began to subconsciously rush toward the shining Artanis in an attempt to seek shelter.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! Stay sensible and awake!"
Artanis warned loudly, and at the same time grabbed one of his subordinates, first blessed him with a magic to maintain his sanity, and then ordered:
"Go out immediately, find Yeke, and ask him to ask for help from the Holy City and send people from the Holy Church..."
The subordinate nodded repeatedly and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Artanis again:
"Remember, go and notify the Miya Sect and tell them that this is a huge barrier and it is very dangerous! It will assimilate all intruders!"
The subordinates couldn't help but be stunned. When encountering such a big thing, why didn't they go to the big shots from the other two sects instead of going to this Miya sect?
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Instead, other companions next to him asked:
"What about you, Archbishop?"
"Try to stop this..."
Artanis said in a deep voice, pushed the subordinate hard, and asked him to leave quickly. Then he called the remaining people, gathered the surrounding adventurers, and tried to unite them.
But at this moment, the surrounding phantom residents who were still heading towards the city center suddenly stopped, adjusted their directions, and rushed toward him...
"Oops...this is not good...I am not a martial artist..."
Artanis muttered in a low voice and frowned slightly.
At this time, Gallo, who was far outside the city, suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed:
"No! Something powerful is coming out of this city. Let the people inside come out!"
The old bishop and young bishop Mitherland were immediately startled. Before they could speak, their eyes were caught by the changes in the city.
The phantoms of various buildings in the city began to disappear quickly, allowing the field of vision to broaden instantly, revealing the city center that was originally wrapped in layers of buildings——
There is a huge square, and countless phantom residents have gathered. They are kneeling in the square in dense numbers, worshiping towards the center of the square.
A pitch-black shadow stood there, and the surroundings were obviously very bright, but this shadow seemed to be able to swallow the light, and still maintained the abyss-like blackness.
The original extremely complex roads in the city, which were like mazes and blood vessels, were preserved. With the square as the center, they spread crazily around. Without the cover of those buildings, these roads looked like
The lines of a huge painting together outline a strange and indescribable pattern.
The old bishop and the young bishop just glanced at the pattern, and then they felt their scalps numb, and waves of low murmurs sounded in their ears, which began to lure their consciousness gradually towards the dark bottomless abyss...
But just when the two of them were about to fall into coma, they suddenly felt a gentle warmth descending from their heads, allowing them to recover instantly.
"Are you okay?"
Gallo asked nervously:
"I think you guys are about to fall asleep, so I'll give you a quick reminder. How about it? Are you feeling awake? Now is not the time to sleep!"
Can the magic of fanaticism still be used like this?
An idea came to the old bishop's mind, but he didn't delve into it. He quickly turned around and asked:
"You look directly at that pattern and you're fine?"
"What exactly is that?"
"It's a god. He has fallen, but he is not completely dead!"
"And right now, He is trying to revive..."
Gallo said with an extremely solemn expression.
At this time, Lilianluo, who was still sleeping, suddenly sat upright and woke up. She ignored her messy clothes and crawled out of the tent, diving into Gallo's arms.
Her hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, her body trembled slightly, and pitiful whines came from her throat...
"Woo... I'm so scared..."
As if she had been frightened awake by a nightmare, she kept rubbing against Gallo's body, even the invisible armor on her body was so frightened that it fell off.
So Miseran also saw this cute little Luoli with blond hair and white stockings, and her expression was a little confused for a moment...
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what's wrong?"
Gallo quickly comforted her, rubbing Lilianluo's head with one hand and squeezing her feet with the other. Her hands were cold. It seemed that she was really frightened, and her hands and feet were cold.
"Wow, there is a terrible evil god sleeping there. We, the dragon clan, spent a lot of effort to defeat him back then, and even sacrificed an ancestor to seal him..."
"But now the seal is loose, the evil god is about to come, woo woo woo, I'm going to be eaten by him..."
Lilian Luo said with a tearful voice, and then added:
"As soon as I got close to here, I resonated with the ancestor's consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. These things were all told to me in his dream..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the deep darkness in the middle of the square in the distance finally revealed its true appearance bit by bit...
It looked like a black egg or a huge stone tablet, with densely packed spells and runes engraved on it. It was slowly squirming, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.
If we calculate the time, it is already very close to the time when the god lowered the beam of light and notified 'three days later'...
And outside the egg, it was tightly surrounded by a huge skeleton.
The skeleton was huge, with two wings on its back, and was completely black. Only the skull was still dazzlingly golden. The posture it maintained looked like it was embracing this dark egg, or imprisoning this huge stone monument.
The old bishop just glanced at the stone tablet and felt a sharp pain in his head, and bloody tears welled up in his eyes...
The many religious figures and adventurers who originally gathered nearby, numbering about two to three thousand, had either entered the city and been assimilated into one of them, and were worshiping the stone tablet;
I fell into a coma because I looked at something I shouldn't have looked at...
There are probably only a few dozen people left who are still active, and they are surrounding a few strong men, struggling to resist the phantoms who want to assimilate them.
And the evil god hasn't even arrived yet, but just by revealing the true appearance of this ritual, the human side was completely defeated...
At this time, Bishop Yeke also rushed to the Miya sect's camp with several embarrassed Crusaders and Paladins. As soon as he saw the old bishop, he quickly said:
"Lord Artanis asked me to come to you!"
"Where are the others?"
The old bishop asked quickly.
"We are fighting inside, trying to interrupt this ceremony."
"Why is he so reckless? Have you contacted the Holy City?"
"The homing pigeons have been released..."
"What's the use of flying doves at this time?! Pray to your God quickly!"
The old bishop said somewhat eagerly.
"I have prayed, but my Lord has not answered me!"
Bishop Yeck said and quickly asked:
"What should we do now? Go and support Lord Artanis?"
The old bishop did not speak, but turned to look at Gallo.
"Don't panic, stay calm, the situation is not that bad yet!"
Gallo said calmly, and then explained:
"I have carefully examined this barrier before, and it is missing several key nodes. It should require a lot of troublesome materials to complete, and it should be due to concealment considerations before. These nodes have not been completed yet.
.”
"So this barrier has not been fully activated yet, we still have a chance to..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a low roar in the distance - the sound of the barrier activating.
Gallo quickly looked up and saw a few aerostats in the sky emitting rich green light...
In the previous chaos, no one could notice that these unassimilated airships were slowly floating towards several areas of the city. They could only be spotted from the perspective of looking down from the sky.
The hovering area happens to be the 'missing nodes' several times.
"this..."
Gallo also seemed a little nervous for a moment, and quickly pointed to the huge keel and said:
"The dragon's seal still remains. That is the core and strongest area of the seal. Let's kill it quickly. We still have a chance to make up for it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the remaining golden skull was dyed black in an instant...
And the black stone tablet surrounded by dragon bones, the spells and runes on it were also dissipating rapidly, and soon disappeared completely, leaving only the deep darkness...
This deep darkness began to squirm and twist, like a drop of ink splashed on paper, spreading around, wrapping the surrounding dragon bones in it.
Then, I saw that the entire keel was moving, and the bones were covered with a layer of black mucus, which looked like a thin film, as if someone had poured a bucket of sticky paint on the entire skeleton.
The entire keel stood upright with two legs like a human being, and the wing bones on its back were greatly expanded. Black mucus quickly covered it, stretching into a pair of dark membrane wings, which floated in the air, looking like a bird spreading plague and death.
of bats.
A strong pressure that seemed to be substantial spread to the surroundings. The old bishop and others were so suppressed that they almost worshiped, and they did not dare to raise their heads and look directly...
The little kittens were also frightened and ran around on the ground. In the end, Amiya caught them one by one and stuffed them into her apron.
"Fuck you, why?"
Gallo couldn't help but uttered a curse word, then quickly grabbed Lilian Luo's twin tails and asked:
"Did your ancestor tell you what we should do now?"
"Woooo...run...run..."
Lilianluo said in a squeaky voice, staying in Gallo's arms and refusing to come out, as if she had forgotten that she was a dragon, could fly, and could run away much faster than Gallo.
"No, we can't run... we must destroy this ritual barrier!"
Gallo quickly explained using his newly gained knowledge:
"The barrier here was originally to seal Him, but I don't know who eroded and destroyed it. Instead, it became the foundation to maintain His existence. As long as this place is destroyed before He finds a new foundation..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the huge bat-like monster flying high into the sky and drifting towards the Innocence City, seemingly ignoring the humans below.
And from the aerospace craft in the sky, people with green flames burning on their bodies emerged one after another. They landed on the ground with the help of ropes, joined the phantoms, and rushed towards the people who were still resisting.
One of the group of people discovered the presence of Gallo and the others, and rushed towards them aggressively.
"So I'm really not suitable for technical analysis and narration..."
Gallo said very unhappy, took out two grips from his sleeves and put them together.
But the old bishop grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Leave this place to us, you can return to the City of Innocence..."
"If no one stops Him, it's all over..."
Gallo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. The evil god had just recovered and rushed towards the Innocence City without hesitation. Obviously, there was more importance there than here.
"But...can I resist Him? He is an ancient evil god...Although he has just recovered, I just glanced at Him and felt goosebumps all over my body..."
"Can I really stop Him?"
"Believe in me, believe in yourself, and believe in our goddess!"
"And your blood, courage, friendship, love, hope and possibility!"
The old bishop said extremely seriously.
"But, I can't fly..."
Gallo said, looking down at Lilian Luo who was still in his arms...
"Change it!"
