Diablo Destruction

*************************************************** *************************************************

"It's fine, it's okay. This test is too torturous." Seeing that Artoria was just a little tired and not seriously ill, I breathed a sigh of relief and started to complain.

"It is indeed a test of physical strength and patience, but I feel that this is a test specially set up for me. There is no other test that is more suitable for me than this one." The tired king showed a sense of accomplishment and joy on his face smile.

In order to take care of her kingdom and let her people live and work in peace and contentment, she spent most of her time on family affairs, resulting in a serious lack of experience in combat compared to other adventurers, and for more than a year The test, the endless army of stone men, just gave her a very pure space, allowing her to make up for her lack of experience, so Artoria said that this was the test that was most suitable for her, and it made sense.

But, even so, I still can't let go of Little King. That little guy, under the cute figure appearance, actually hides the image of a devilish senior instructor.

"Then have a good rest, Caroline. Let's cook and make something delicious for Artoria." I sighed and ordered the little maid next to me.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Carole, who had already meant this, immediately took out the pot and spoon neatly. I quickly started a bonfire, while Arturia was resting and sitting aside, staring at the scene quietly, with a smile of satisfaction on her lips, and it seemed that even the fatigue on her body had been relieved a lot.

In order to give my king a sufficient rest, after filling her stomach, Carolie and I couldn't wait to set up the tent and urged her to sleep quickly. There is no better way to replenish physical strength than sleeping.

Carolie was still a bit upright and insisted on guarding us outside the tent. As a result, I used the same trick to persuade him to come in again. The three of them slept together... ahem, of course it was impossible. I held Artoria in my arms and gave her the most comfortable embrace. The little maid lay down in a corner of the tent like last time. In order not to disturb the space between me and my king. Trying his best to hide his aura and presence.

It felt like she was working harder like this. My original intention was to let her rest more comfortably in the tent, but I didn't expect to put the cart before the horse. Seeing this, I could only shake my head and smile bitterly. I can't let her go out to rest outside the tent now, can I?

With my king in my arms, I slept very peacefully. When I woke up, my arms were filled with fragrance again, and then a familiar and gentle greeting came to my ears.

"Fan, are you up?"

A carp rolled out of bed and greeted Arturia and Kaluge energetically. The industrious and cute little maid had prepared breakfast and was waiting for me to get up.

After breakfast, the atmosphere gradually became serious. Arturia took deep breaths over and over again, making her heart become as calm as a sculpture.

Kaluge and I packed up our things, quietly left behind her, and flew into the air again to enter the onlooker mode.

"If I'm not mistaken, just like what happened to Lord Lan Larohe back then, your majesty will have to face difficulties next." Looking at her master from a distance, Kalue said in a solemn voice.

"What kind of difficulties?" I didn't know anything about Lan Laluohe's deeds back then. When she said this, I couldn't help but be curious.

"The stunt that the Stoneman clan is famous for - Rain of Chaos."

"Rain of Chaos? What kind of terrifying stunt is it?" I asked, holding up the no-war card in my mind. It was all glass shards anyway, so it shouldn't be considered an infringement. It shouldn't be considered an infringement, you bastard! You guy who eats lunch in the Space-Time Management Bureau should answer me! ! !

"It relies on the power of the Stone Man King to lift countless stone men into the sky, and then let them fall like meteorites. The resulting meteor shower is dozens of times more powerful than the wizard's meteorites, and the scope and quantity are even more incomparable. For that matter." Carolie shook her head, looking at her master with a worried look in her eyes.

Is it that powerful?

I thought about it in my mind. Meteor is a fifth-level skill for wizards, and it is also the most powerful magic. If thousands of wizards cast meteors at the same time, covering an area, the power would be dozens of times greater than ordinary meteorites. …

I was stunned when I imagined that scene. Is that still a place where people stay? Even hell isn't that scary.

Now, Arturia is going to break into this kind of place. If I didn't know her character and it's useless to try to dissuade her, I would have done anything to pull her back, take her home, and be my beloved wife in peace and stability. She took the risk.

As soon as Caroline finished explaining to me, Arturia over there started to take action, as if she had calculated the time. When she just stood up, the fog on the road behind her began to slowly dissipate, revealing A behemoth.

My dull eyes scanned this behemoth from bottom to top.

The behemoth that appeared in front of Artoria turned out to be a majestic mountain like Harrogath Mountain. In the flat wasteland, it rose from the ground like a giant standing on the ground, which was exactly what it meant. The tall and mighty image of the stone man.

Why is such a huge stone mountain thousands of meters high in the wilderness and plains? Why does the image of the huge mountain remind people of stone men? I even wonder whether this stone mountain was built piece by stone by stone men themselves. , or even made of their bodies. If that were the case, then how terrifying the Stonemen would be.

How terrifying was Lan Larohe who single-handedly destroyed the Stoneman clan? It is simply unimaginable. If the powerful feeling given to me by the Married Woman Knight is bottomless, then Lan Larohe, she used only one battle in which her clan was wiped out to establish an invincible image in my mind, just like Guan Yu, the god of war, holds a Yanyue sword and sits on a red rabbit horse. After passing three levels and killing six generals, he was invincible and no one could stop him.

If I were not afraid of disturbing Artoria's test, I would also like to stand on this huge stone mountain and feel it in person, whether it is built up of the bodies of countless stone people. If so, then just this stone mountain, It can bring huge pressure to people, and even a strong person with the world's power level may not be able to exert half of his strength.

Here again I have to praise Artoria’s artifact set. In addition to not being afraid of the oppression of the world barrier. The effect of "potential" on her is close to nothing, that is to say, as long as her combat effectiveness reaches the level of world power. Then you can fight against the world's powerful ones. without any suppression.

Let me give you another vivid analogy. Comparing a strong person in the field to a ball of cotton, and comparing a strong person in world power to a stone, then Artoria is a cotton. As long as the weight is equal to that of a stone, you can go head-to-head with the stone. Such an incredible thing becomes stress-free with the power of the artifact suit.

Because of this, Arturia was able to face the huge rock mountain in front of her without fear. If it were other adventurers of the same strength, they would have been forced to their knees by the huge pressure.

Taking a closer look at this boulder mountain, I found that its shape is quite interesting. It is not like an ordinary mountain, which is in the shape of a slope or cliff. It is more like it is composed of trapezoids, like... yes, like a rough and uneven shape. Like a pyramid, there is first a vertical cliff with a height of 1,000 meters, then there is a flat land, and then there is another vertical cliff with a height of 1,000 meters... There are five levels in total, that is to say, this tower rises from the ground. Boulder Mountain is at least five thousand meters high.

Of course, compared to the demon king's flesh and blood resurrection, this height is nothing to mention, and it can no longer shock me. What is really alarming is the flat land above the highest level, which vaguely reveals the outline of a giant city.

Presumably, that is the Stoneman King's City. The Stoneman Giant General mentioned by Little King, as well as the Stoneman King who originally had the power to devour the world, are all there.

Shaking my head and coming back to my senses, I focused my attention on the protagonist this time, Artoria. She had arrived at the foot of the boulder mountain. Facing the thousand-meter-high stone wall, she raised her head and stepped out for the first time. step.

It was this step that landed, as if a certain mechanism was triggered. The wind and clouds surged. Several thunders suddenly sounded in the originally dark and gray sky. Then, dark clouds came from nowhere and covered them in the blink of an eye at a strange speed. The sky over the entire Boulder Mountain.

In the dark clouds, whirlpools rolled up one after another. The scene was like thousands of space battleships traveling through time and space, emerging from the bizarre wormholes that distorted space. It was horrifying and shocking.

However, what emerged from these twisted space whirlpools were not space battleships, but huge stone men. Yes, they were the stone men with attributes that they had encountered before when they went deep into the hinterland.

Some of these stone men had flames on their bodies, some had frost on their bodies, some had poison in their bodies, and some had lightning in their bodies. The moment they emerged from the twisted vortex, they curled up their stone bodies into a A huge meteorite with a diameter of four to five meters fell to the ground with a powerful impact - aiming at Artoria's position!

The most spectacular meteor shower appeared. In the first wave of chaotic rain, there were thousands of stone men, dragging long tails of meteors, falling one after another. Not only did it bring a powerful momentum, but also the space. After being violently shaken, it could be clearly seen that Artoria's body below suddenly shook violently, as if another tens of tons of weight were pressing on her shoulders.

This kind of pressure is not an invisible and qualityless momentum, nor is it an esoteric realm of enchantment, but a physical existence. It is the distortion of the air caused by thousands of stone people turning into meteorites and falling, just like gravity. It suddenly increased tenfold and a hundredfold, and even the artifact suit was not immune to it.

Artoria's speed was obviously much slower, although she was already racing against time the moment the sudden change occurred. She kicked her feet non-stop, like a shooting star shooting upward, towards the sky above her head. Countless meteorites.

Some of these meteorites carry flames, some carry lightning, some are full of frost, and some are like a ball of ink liquid. They fall with the force of thousands of hectares, and they seem to have eyes, tracking the direction in which Artoria flies. , constantly adjusting the angle, hitting her head-on with a slight arc, just like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate.

Artoria's figure continued to adjust in mid-air. She dodged left and right, but her speed was limited, and the number of meteorites falling above her head was not just dozens or hundreds, but hundreds or thousands. The coverage area of ​​each meteorite was not small. The total number of these thousands of meteorites , like a big airtight net, even if Arturia turns into a mosquito, it is impossible to escape.

For a while. The sky is covered with colorful lights. Under the background of dark clouds, there are red flames, white lightning, and blue frost. Green is highly toxic. Extremely dazzling. It completely engulfed Artoria's little pure white knight figure, as if a small boat had accidentally been caught in a tsunami wave hundreds of meters high.

This is simply...

I raised my head and stared at this great scene. Think about it in your mind, if it were you, what would you do?

There is only one way, and that is to use your fists to force open an opening. The problem is that each of these meteorites is a powerful stone man, and these stone men were transformed into chaos through the terrifying power of the Stone Man King. Yu, how can such a combination be easily broken through?

To compare secretly, with the current level of the Stone Man King's world power at its peak, it would not be difficult for the cosplay bear to break through the Rain of Chaos. However, if it were the Stone Man King at its full strength and powerful enough to devour the world, then the cosplay bear would be able to break through the rain of chaos. There was no other way. Even if he could barely break through the first wave of meteorites, the second wave that followed would not be able to continue. He could only watch himself being submerged in the rain of chaos.

Arturia now is just like me facing the world-devouring Stoneman King. With her strength, even if she can break through the first wave of Chaos Rain, the second wave will follow closely. She has to withstand the rain of chaos at least five times. If the speed is not enough, then seven, eight, or more than ten waves are possible. How can anyone survive?

I fixed my eyes on Artoria's figure. Covered by the four-color light in the sky above her, she looked extremely small. However, she did not disappear. She was just like a small piece of grass. No matter how strong the wind was or the heavy rain. No matter how strong it is, it is still small and still exists.

At this moment, she suddenly accelerated and rushed into the network formed by the meteorite. In less than a tenth of a second, she found the weakest point of the meteorite network, and then used the artifact suit to deal with the magic. The immunity to damage and the breakthrough power of the Victory Sword allowed him to successfully pass through this wave of meteorites at a small cost of injury.

Well done, both Carolie and I couldn't help but clench our fists and cheer secretly. If it were us, we might not be able to find a breakthrough in such a short period of time.

After passing through the meteorite net, before the next wave came, Artoria quickly accelerated again, jumped up to the stone wall thousands of meters high, and landed on the first platform, but before she could take a step Rushing towards the second level, meteorites covered the sky and fell again.

This time, Artoria is on the ground. It seems that she can dodge more flexibly, but in fact it is more dangerous, because the meteorite net cannot be avoided no matter how hard she dodges, and she can only find the weakest breakthrough.

On the ground, meteorites fall, the powerful impact, coupled with fire splashing, lightning spreading, frost paving the road, poison flying, all the energy scattered, will make the ground worse than the eighteen levels of hell. Horrible, dangerous. become more dense.

Artoria's petite figure struggled through the ocean of elemental explosions under the impact of the powerful meteorite. When she passed the second wave of meteorites and came to the second-level stone wall, her pure white The knight's armor and lining are already covered with traces of elemental baptism.

The so-called immunity is only relative, not absolute. Under the rapid impact of stone men using their bodies as weapons and gravity as assistance, the elemental damage they exerted also increased geometrically, even if it could only give Artoli Ya caused a little bit of elemental damage, and the thousands of little bits of damage added up to a very impressive number.

On the second level of the stone wall, Artoria jumped high again without hesitation, and the third wave of Chaos Rain followed closely. There were more of them, and because the height increased by one thousand meters, the disguised speed was equal to the landing speed of these meteorites. The faster, the less time Artoria has left to judge.

It is conceivable that as she continues to climb, the height continues to increase, and the area of ​​​​the platform continues to shrink, the rain of chaos that the third, fourth, and fifth levels will face will become more and more difficult to cope with. Alto Liya's situation will become more and more dangerous.

This is truly the fifth level of purgatory!

I sighed in my heart, and at the same time I hated Little King even more and my teeth were itching. Do you think you can't do some simple tests? If you have to torment Arturia like this, why does such an outstanding person need to be tested? You only need to observe her and give her the four fragments of the artifact. Wouldn't it be much easier?

Of course, I actually think it is very possible. With Little King's current situation, it is no longer possible to collect the four artifact fragments that she scattered in the four trials, leaving Arturia to wipe her butt. It's really of! Really! The king of little figures that makes people worry.

After coming back to her senses, in the blink of an eye, Artoria had broken through the third wave of Chaos Rain, arrived at the second platform of the Boulder Mountain, and was about to face the fourth wave of Chaos Rain.

Just as Carolie and I were sweating, watching her time and time again, weathering the rain of chaos in extremely thrilling situations, and finally reaching the fourth step of the Boulder Mountain, suddenly, we just climbed up. Artoria, who was on the fourth platform, jumped back and jumped down from the boulder mountain...
