Lord of War

Sean looked enviously at the night pearls on the corridor.

Only the mermaid clan can get such a big night pearl, and they arrange it randomly like Chinese cabbage. Although there has never been an auction of this kind of luxury goods in the game, in this real world, Sean can still roughly know the value of these luminous pearls. He thought that if he could dig up all these luminous pearls and sell them, he would definitely That's another big income.

It's just that, even if you really want to do this kind of thing, you have to wait until you have explored the entire mermaid city.

There was an eerie silence in the corridor.

This kind of atmosphere is different from that of the Sea Sand Corridor.

In the Sea Sand Corridor, Xiao En and others will be nervous, just because there are pits there, if one is not careful, one will die, so it needs to be avoided as much as possible. But it was different in this corridor. Sean could even feel the slight tingling sensation on his skin, which was a very strong danger signal.

He glanced at Nolo and Harding, and saw that the two also looked cautious, which at least proved that Sean was not alone.

At this time, Sean felt a little nostalgic for the situation in the previous game.

The map function that comes with the player system can well reflect the name of the current map, which allows the player to easily judge the importance of the current location. Naturally, it can save players a lot of unnecessary exploration troubles, and they can often find the destination of the trip quickly-of course, the map of the wild area scene is an exception, but maps like the Mermaid City are very useful up.

Everyone moved forward cautiously.

The corridor looks very long, and it is still a straight passage. But everyone still found something different about this corridor.

After traveling for a certain distance, the luster of the night pearl will be slightly dimmed. Although at first. Everyone focused on preventing a possible surprise attack, so they didn't notice this light change. However, after walking a certain distance, no matter how weak the change in light is, it is still very different from when they first stepped into this corridor. If Xiao En and the others have not noticed anything strange at this time place, then they really don't need to continue exploring.

Sean slowly raised his left hand.

Everyone stopped.

"I probably know what kind of mechanism puppets we will encounter." Sean looked at a long corridor with almost no light at all,

Shen Sheng said.

The reason why it is said to be almost is because the light of the night pearls hanging on the top of the corridor has become extremely dim, leaving only a very weak bit of fluorescence. If it wasn't for the fact that these luminous pearls were no different from all the luminous pearls seen along the way. Sean and the others thought those night pearls were just bigger fluorescent stones.

Orianna and Nolo didn't react at all, but when Harding and Lancet heard the words "organ puppet", their faces looked very ugly.

"What type of organ puppet?" Harding asked.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be the Strike series." Sean's face looked a little uncertain, "Darkness Blade."

There are many types of organs made by the mermaid clan, but although the details and fighting methods are different, they can actually be classified according to six different types. In addition to the knight series that Xiao En and others have come into contact with, which have special enhancements in combat skills, there is also a legion series specially used in warfare; it has strengthened defense capabilities and sturdiness, and is specially used for important facilities and area protection The guardian series of work; the mage series that has strengthened the magic power system and can exert magic attacks similar to the division level; the Strike series that strengthens the combat function by sacrificing defense capabilities and is specially used for hard-line combat and raids; and the last one Species: A special series that is manufactured according to special environments and needs, strengthens multiple abilities, and is comparable to a hero-level existence.

Dark Blade. It is the second mass-produced product born in the Strike series. At that time, it was an assassin model specially developed to cooperate with the Legion series of mechanism puppets to carry out a war. Therefore, they are designed after the assassins and assassins in the elves. Although the selection of materials is not as strong as that of the Guardian series and the Knight series for light action, it is still in terms of lethality and combat performance. The Strike series is second only to the special series.

And the dark blade, among the puppets of the Strike series, can be ranked in the top five products.

Others don't know what kind of existence the Dark Blade is. But as Lanster, who is very familiar with the mermaid clan and its related history and technology, his face suddenly became very ugly when he heard it.

"We. Do you want to change the way?" Lanster said, "Under the infinite supply of magic power with the magic power central system. The dark blade has very special abilities, which will make them even more difficult to deal with."

Just like when we were at the outpost, before Sean and the others closed the power energy room, those Bronze Knights and Silver Knights had very powerful combat capabilities and special force field protection. With the sufficient supply of magic power, the Dark Blade They also have a special combat ability: dark concealment. This is also the reason why Xiao En and the others looked at the slightly dark passage ahead and did not find any traces of mechanism puppets.

"What if the front is the power energy room?" Sean didn't make any decision. After a moment of silence, he asked back.

This time, it was Lanster's turn to fall silent.

"With the support of magic power, the dark blades can indeed blend into the darkness like shadow assassins, but this type of puppets poses the lowest threat to us." Sean patted Lanster's shoulder, and then smiled, his smile was full of a confident appeal, "After all, mechanism puppets are not living things, they are just mechanical creations, they just act according to the set program, they don't know how to think, so they Much easier to deal with than real shadow assassins."

While saying this, Sean also took out the Black King, and threw it to Nolo: "Come and open the way."

Nolo shrugged. After passing the Black Sovereign, he walked towards this even darker corridor without looking back.

Sean came to Mermaid Capital this time. The purpose was very clear, so he deliberately emptied all the gold, silver and jewelry in the storage space. Only the food and drinking water necessary for daily life were left, and in addition, some long swords were brought—for Nolo, such weapons were consumables, and it was impossible to support his fighting spirit infusion, so Sean naturally If you don't bring a particularly good one, you just bring an ordinary white board long sword, and throw it away after you use it up anyway.

Of course, in the current situation, Nolo alone can handle it. Xiao En naturally gave his Black King to Nolo, so that he could save a lot of money. In addition, he brought a few more wooden swords himself, which he brought specially to teach Orianna before—Sean was afraid that if he used real weapons, he would kill Orianna if he was careful. All the claws were chopped off.

When Nolo walked into the dark corridor, his eyes could not help but become cold.

His spiritual tentacles began to spread out, extending in all directions around him at a very rapid speed. Within the range covered by Nolo's spiritual tentacles is his domain.

Noro's domain is called [Earth Desperation].

This name can be seen at a glance, and its domain rules must be related to the earth element. In fact. For a powerhouse like Nolo who is proficient in sword skills, the general domain ability will be mainly to strengthen himself and support effects, and the domain will also try to increase the lethality as much as possible, pursuing the one-hit-kill combat effectiveness.

But Nolo is different.

Although his field is mainly based on support effects and strengthening himself. However, he did not pursue the combat power of killing with one blow, and his field strengthening effect was mainly to increase his own defense ability. This is of course related to the characteristics of the "Earth Element", but it's just that generally even the strong in the sanctuary are not satisfied with their own domain abilities. At the upper sanctuary stage, when you have the ability to modify the domain once, you will try your best to form a domain that is more in line with your own fighting habits and style, and at worst, you will also improve your own domain defects.

But Nolo didn't.

When he reached the upper sanctuary. He didn't add attack means to his domain, but still strengthened the support effect of the domain again. Only at this time. The rules that Nolo came into contact with and analyzed have also touched the "gravity" from the "earth element", and the ability he re-improved and increased when he was in the upper sanctuary is naturally related to "gravity".

In Nolo's field, he can adjust the gravity within the field according to his own wishes, and the adjustment range is ten times up and down.

This is a very useful and terrifying ability.

It is precisely because of this ability that Nolo has the power to fight even when facing the legendary strong in the past record. It's just that now his strength is limited to the middle sanctuary, and the ability of the domain can't be fully utilized. Generally speaking, the adjustment of gravity can only be adjusted by five times, but this is enough to consume under normal circumstances. and used up.

After Nolo listened to Sean's description of these dark blades, he knew why Sean let him take the lead.

In fact, only he can easily deal with these dark blades.

Nolo didn't expand the domain too much. With his current strength, the limit of the domain's full expansion is about 200 meters in radius, but at the edge of the domain, his control will be weakened and reduced accordingly. Perfect The maneuvering limit is within a radius of one hundred meters. At this time, the area covered by Nolo's mental tentacles is a radius of 50 meters. In this area, he has almost absolute control, even if his enemies also use "earth element" and "gravity" as the law of force Yes, Nolo can also have absolute confidence to suppress the opponent.

As Nolo walked forward for a distance of about thirty or forty meters, he felt something suddenly enter his domain.

Within Nolo's line of sight, he didn't "see" anything, but his domain clearly told him that that thing was approaching. No need to guess, Nolo also knew that what was approaching him must be the so-called dark blade.

Without any movement, Nolo just stood there, quietly waiting for the opponent to approach.

However, what Nolo didn't expect was that when the dark blade, which could not be seen at all, approached a distance of about ten meters, the opponent would no longer approach.

This made Nolo frowned slightly.

But he still didn't take any action, and waited at the spot for about four or five minutes. After confirming that the opponent would not make any moves, Nolo stepped forward again. On the surface, he didn't seem to notice the dark blade. But in fact, the mental tentacles are already wrapped around the opponent's body, as long as the opponent moves. Then he can change the opponent's space gravity in the first place.

As the distance between the two parties got closer, Nolo's demeanor became more and more relaxed.

It's just that this kind of relaxation is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Nolo has already tightened his grip on the Black King.

After all, it was the first time Nolo had seen or heard of a creation like a mechanism puppet, and there was no such thing in his plane. But facing all the things that have never been touched, no matter what kind of existence it is, it will inevitably feel a little nervous. This has nothing to do with the level of strength, it is purely an instinct. Only after the first fight. After establishing a corresponding intelligence database in one's own personal consciousness, this instinctive conscious reaction will be alleviated.

But even so, Nolo has perfectly controlled his own abilities.

His heartbeat didn't fluctuate at all.

Even when he had completely brushed past the dark blade, his heartbeat was still as calm as a normal person, as if he hadn't found any enemies or crises at all. But Nolo knew very well that when he actually passed by the dark blade, his skin exposed to the air produced an extremely strong tingling sensation, and he could feel the killing intent like a needle prick. towards their own feelings.

But no matter how close the distance between him and the dark blade was, Nolo didn't notice the existence of the dark blade at all from the point of view of perception.

If it weren't for his domain, it would always remind him of the distance between him and the dark blade. Nolo really couldn't believe that there was actually something in this world that could hide from his perception—the target of killing intent might also be a flaw that would be discovered, but in such a dark environment. The killing intent coming from all directions made it impossible for people to judge the enemy's position clearly.

It was just a passing moment, in fact, Nolo had already completed a psychological charge contest with this mechanism puppet.

only. What competed with Nolo was not the consciousness of this organ puppet. It came from the mermaids who designed the dark blade central program during the First Mermaid Empire.

This is a contest between several eras, and even two planes.

When Nolo and this dark puppet completely passed by. Nolo still pretended not to notice the puppet, but continued to move forward. And almost when Nolo walked out a distance of three or four meters again, the dark blade behind Nolo also moved - keeping a distance of about three meters from Nolo, just like this. Behind Nolo, it is neither far away nor close, and only when Nolo stops, it will stop.

This made Nolo frowned again.

But soon, his frown relaxed again, because he already understood the plan of this organ puppet.

Within Nolo's domain, several waves of fluctuations spread.

Every wave of fluctuating sensing represents a new existence entering Nolo's domain, which is the benefit of Nolo's domain.

Counting silently in my heart, there are a total of five new existences, which means that five more dark blades have entered Nolo's domain space. Judging from the information fed back from the domain, these organ puppets are slowly approaching in an outflanking situation, and together with the dark blade behind Nolo, they can just form a circular encirclement.

This is a very typical siege tactic, which belongs to the ambush strategy.

It is usually an ambush strategy used by assassins or killers when they encounter extremely powerful enemies—by luring the target into the ambush circle, and then suddenly bursting out, using the momentary stunned and slow reaction to attack To achieve the purpose of assassination. Of course, this tactic is occasionally used to ensure the safety of the assassination, just like when William was assassinated by five shadow assassins.

As Nolo, who is also proficient in assassination techniques and assassination books, he naturally understood the intentions of these puppets in an instant.

But at this time, he still has some doubts. That is the fighting style of these puppets. What is the basis for their judgment? How did they judge that their own strength is stronger than theirs, and they cannot solve themselves with their personal combat power?

Nolo is really puzzling.

But no matter how puzzling it is. At this time, Nolo did not wait quietly for their encirclement to close.

Within the range covered by its domain, the gravity of the entire space suddenly changed.

At this moment. Nolo, who had dark vision, instantly saw the true colors of these dark blades—they were special metal puppets coated with matte materials. They don't have palms, and at the front of their arms is a pointed cone structure similar to a thorn sword. Other than that, everything else is no different from the structure of the human body. Of course, the only difference is that its head cannot be like a human or an elf, but a flat metal helmet shape.

It seems that due to the distortion and change of gravity, the special abilities of these dark blades are shielded, and their bodies are all twisted, deformed and broken to varying degrees. And almost at this moment, two red glows lit up on the helmets of these dark blades - Nolo guessed that this was probably the visual field information collection function for observation. —— Immediately afterwards, these dark blades immediately launched a fierce attack on Nolo without hesitation.

A look of surprise flashed in Nolo's eyes.

With five times the force of gravity, even the middle sanctuary strongman of the Gray Crow Tribe was so crushed by Nolo that he vomited blood. However, these mechanism puppets, under the pressure of such a strong gravity, did not turn into scrap iron one after another, but still possessed the ability to fight. This discovery naturally made Nolo feel novel.

So he turned around and stabbed backhand at the nearest dark blade.

In addition to the assassination technique that Nolo is best at, his swordsmanship also has the demeanor of a master.

Only one sword. Just like Sean broke through Orianna's defense line before, Nolo easily shook off the two pointed arms of the dark blade behind him, and then the sword directly penetrated into the puppet's body without changing its momentum. About three inches below the helmet.

When the long sword touched, Nolo's pupils shrank slightly again.

The hardness of the armor on this mechanism puppet. It was higher than Nolo's imagination, so it made it impossible for him to pierce the puppet's armor in one go with his attack, which he hadn't tried his best. Fortunately, Nolo is not an ordinary strong man, but a strong man in the sanctuary realm. So at the moment when there was an anti-shock force from the tip of the sword, Nolo used the ability of the domain again. Concentrating the gravity on the point of the sword and the armor of the puppet, a faint black circle of light flashed away. In the next second, the Black King in Nolo's hand pierced in without hindrance, and then directly smashed the power core of the mechanism puppet.

Immediately afterwards, Nolo drew his sword backhand, turned around and stepped back, using his body to knock the "dead" mechanism puppet into the air, while sweeping across with his long sword.

There was only a muffled sound of gold and iron joining in the air, and the attacks of the five mechanism puppets that struck at the same time were easily blocked by Nolo, and even under the guidance of Nolo, two of the mechanism puppets were pulled away instead. shape, and distanced a little distance from the other three mechanism puppet companions. And Nolo's attack obviously didn't stop there. After affecting the figures of the two mechanism puppets, Nolo immediately stabbed out with two swords backhanded.

Because of the experience of fighting for the first time before, so this time Nolo's attack naturally knows how much force to put in.

With the sharpness of the Black Sovereign, naturally it would not be blocked by these armors that were already made of lighter materials. Therefore, the two mechanism puppets were naturally solved by Nolo in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Nolo took advantage of the fact that the other three puppets had not recovered, and the Black King in his hand turned into a gust of wind, and the three sword shadows pierced into the weak cores of these puppets again at the same time, completely destroying them.

After solving six organ puppets in a row, Nolo also had a clearer measure of the strength of these organ puppets in his mind.

The combat power of the dark blades is roughly equivalent to that of the shadow assassins of the upper silver peak, but under the protection of the ability to hide in darkness, and almost completely unable to perceive the characteristics, the actual combat ability of these dark blades is already equivalent to that of the lower gold level strong. If you want to add that because they are mechanism puppets, there is no pain response, etc., the actual combat effectiveness of these dark blades will rise to a rather terrifying level.

Compared to the Bronze Knight and the Silver Knight, the Darkblade is more difficult to deal with.

Only a guy like Nolo, who can completely restrain these dark blades, can solve it so easily. Otherwise, even if it was Harding or Sean, it would inevitably take a lot of fuss to solve it, and there might even be a serious injury because of it. Of course, for a team with a Saintess of the Church of Life like Heatley, as long as they don't die on the spot, there will be basically no trouble, but there is naturally no need to take risks if they can avoid risks .

After Nolo understood the strength and combat situation of these dark blades, he no longer proceeded so cautiously.

The range of the field was instantly expanded to 100 meters.

For a moment, Nolo immediately sensed at least ten dark blades.

Without the slightest hesitation, the gravity effect was activated immediately.

The ten organ puppets were immediately damaged to varying degrees, but Nolo was still outside their perception range, which immediately made these organ puppets feel like headless chickens. After discovering this situation, Nolo fell into contemplation again, but his footsteps did not stop, but continued to move forward, and soon the ten mechanism puppets found Nolo Luo's existence immediately charged towards Nolo.

This time, they didn't try to hide their figures again, so Nolo could easily see the air traces of the ten mechanism puppets moving in the dark.

At this moment, Nolo knew how these dark blades were completely invisible.

The matte material painted on the dark blade is actually a kind of magic pattern material. With a large supply of magic power from the magic circle, this kind of magic pattern material can make them blend well with the dark environment. And this kind of fusion is a bit similar to the effect of glorious camouflage. It is the ability to completely refract light, so it is impossible to capture these dark blades hidden in the darkness with the naked eye alone. There are things under the blade's feet that absorb sound transmission, and they belong to the category of dead objects, so not only are their movements silent, but even the heartbeat and breathing sounds that ordinary shadow assassins can't solve can be perfectly avoid.

All of this is the secret that the dark blade can be completely invisible.

It's just that with Nolo's gravitational pressure, the body surface structure of these mechanism puppets is destroyed, causing damage and cracks in their armor, so the magic pattern effect can't work, or the effect will produce some distortion, so they are moving When the air will be the corresponding airflow traces appear.

Although for Nolo, it doesn't make any difference whether he can see these mechanism puppets, but being able to see these mechanism puppets at this time will naturally make the battle easier for him. Before these dark blades approached, Nolo had already used the burst of sword energy to eliminate all these mechanism puppets.

Next, Nolo began to make some new attempts.

He no longer completely destroyed the five times the pressure in one breath, but began to gradually stack up one time, two times, and three times.

This superimposition method made Nolo quickly discover that he didn't even need to fight these dark blades anymore. He only needed to superimpose the gravity little by little, and he could achieve a better effect of directly suppressing with five times the gravity in one breath. Under the gradual superimposition and suppression of these gravitational forces, the body of the dark blade will be destroyed more thoroughly, so that there is a distance of hundreds of meters. When Nolo approaches, these mechanism puppets have completely become a mess iron. (To be continued..)
