Sword of Daybreaker

Smoke and dust obscured the line of sight, and the sound of metal and rock breaking from time to time came from some nearby buildings or from the depths of artificial ground. Accompanied by these breaking sounds, there was a constant vibration from the depths of the feet. Although the amazing fortress has crashed on the ground, it is like the death of a giant beast. Its too large and bloated body still needs a long time to collapse to reach a certain stable state, and before that, this behemoth body The "aftermath of death" may last for several days or even months.

Belcetia and Elaine left the central palace that had completely collapsed. They trudged across the sloping and fractured ground, past the ruins of buildings and magic weapons with billowing smoke, and wandering aberrations occurred several times in the middle. Fight against each other, but never encountered the kind of disciplined and cooperative enemy. The situation may be just as Belsetia expected: the huge energy impact released when the Temple of the Stars crashed destroyed the deformed body in this area. The "spiritual connection" between the legions has turned these enemies who know how to fight in groups into ignorant monsters again. This is undoubtedly good news.

Of course, Bersetia did not have thought of another better possibility. Perhaps the highest enemy commander in this area was unlucky enough to be located in the crash area of ​​the temple, and now it has become the deepest part of the ruins. A touch of dirt...

But she also knows that this is mostly just a beautiful idea of ​​her own. The commanders behind these monsters are obviously very cunning and desperate. They have the ability to command the frontline army across a very wide battlefield, so there is no need to charge with these cannon fodder. Before, and in the previous battles, the soldiers in front of the enemy had never seen any "officer" level personnel in the surge of monsters, so most of the controllers of these monsters were still hiding in the wasteland. Deep down, the next offensive plan is being planned.

I really want to know what their expressions look like when they see the Temple of Stars descending from the sky.

Bersetia shook her head and put these irrelevant associations aside for the time being. She heard a strange roar from deep under her feet, and then a facility not far in front suddenly collapsed, and the ground nearby. A gap was opened in the creaking noise, and a series of flashes and explosion smoke rose from the gap.

She knew that this was the "twitch" that the "behemoth" under her feet continued after its death, just like the tremor of the muscles after the death of a flesh and blood body, although the main system of the temple has been completely shut down, its deepest part There are still many structures in those ancient and complex cabins undergoing final operation, but I don't know how long this process will eventually last.

A low and chaotic roar and murmur came from the depths of a thick cloud of smoke in the distance, interrupting the slight sadness in Bersetia's heart, and also slowing down her and Elaine's footsteps at the same time.

They quickly concealed themselves behind a huge boulder nearby, and watched vigilantly at the billowing smoke coming out of a certain ventilation duct. Several heavy footsteps sounded from the smoke, that kind of constant lowness. The roar and the chaotic whisper are getting closer.

Belsetia carefully counted her heartbeat. At the same time as the twelfth heartbeat sounded, she saw the tall and distorted figures, the monsters with mud and flesh swaying out of the thick smoke, staggering. Moving forward, they swayed their ugly, purposeless heads from side to side, as if sniffing prey, looking for the vitality that just appeared here.

Bersetia quickly exchanged glances with his personal maid, and the battle plan was set without any words. The next second, a figure holding two swords rushed out from behind the hiding place, and lightning flashed in mid-air. Dao Feng's sharp arc suddenly flashed across the trajectory of Elaine's charge, and a deformed body that was walking in the forefront almost didn't respond, and was instantly cut into three segments with a sword cut off its head, and a sword cut off the waist.

The two swords in the hands of the blond elf bloomed like flowers, slashing towards the second enemy at almost the speed of sound. Elaine's figure rotated in the center of the steel flower, and the deformed body that reacted gave out a chaotic roar, and rushed towards them one after another. Perceiving the aura of life that suddenly brightened, but in the next second, a torrential rain-like cone of ice appeared out of thin air in the air, crashing on these deformed freaks who had no time to dodge.

The filthy and flowing flesh and blood was firmly nailed to the ground by the ice cone, and the ensuing extreme cold breath made the monsters' huge bodies brittle and slow. Elaine danced through the gap between the ice blade and the cold wind. The sword can reap the dying monsters one by one.

A deformed body on the edge of the battlefield broke free from the shackles of the ice cone at the last moment. The monster raised its arms high, and a dark red energy beam quickly formed in its hands, aiming at the key behind Elaine, but a long sword broke. Flying from the sky, the long sword was held by an invisible hand of magic, and instantly cut off the monster’s arm, and cut off its remaining limbs before the opponent recovered. Finally, the long sword flew high, stabling swiftly from the air. Down, accompanied by a blast, nailed the monster directly to the ground with blood flowing from the head to the chest.

At this time, Elaine's last sword also happened to complete the final harvest. In just a few tens of seconds, the chaotic roars of several deformed bodies completely quieted in the ruins.

Bersetia walked to Elaine, and at the same time gently waved to the side. The long sword that nailed the monster was pulled out by the invisible magic hand and threw the blood stains in the air, and then flew back into the hands of the Silver Queen. The latter watched Elaine use the tip of the sword to pick up the corpse of a deformed body, frowning slightly: "This is the first wave of monsters we have encountered?"

"The seventh wave is not the ones that we carefully bypassed," Elaine raised her head and replied, "Thanks to some stragglers, if these monsters come in groups, we might not be opponents. What did you think of?"

"How did they survive the previous shock?" Belsetia looked solemn. "Occasionally there are some surviving monsters that can be understood. After all, they are huge in number and have tenacious vitality. There are always those who escape the impact by hiding in the right place. Lucky people exist, but now we have encountered so many surviving monsters, and...this is the upper part of the temple."

Elaine's expression finally changed slightly: "You mean..."

"The upper zone, and it's still in the upper zone after the main body of the temple has been broken, and the connecting passages have been sealed. These monsters that originally wandered the plains are not easy to climb here. It is no less than climbing a building. The steep mountains, even if they are tireless or painful, it will take a while to climb up from the ground below, right?"

Bersetia said in a deep voice, watching the filthy remains that fell on the ground, and the bodies of the deformed monsters have begun to decompose at this moment. In the rising black smoke, their flesh and blood are quickly dissipating with the smoke, only The remaining twisted skeleton after severe corrosion made her slowly think of some "features" about the distortion.

"Perhaps... they were just'generated' in the upper part of the temple not long ago," she said slowly, "Elaine, do you remember that distortions have a very mysterious property? They can be found in the mana of the wasteland. "Appear out of thin air" in the environment..."

Elaine slowly widened her eyes, and after a while she nodded her head with an ugly expression, "Yes, I remember... this was Uncle Gao Wen seven hundred years ago.

The first characteristic discovered by the team... Once those monsters gather to a certain extent, they will create a magical environment similar to the Gondor Wasteland around them, and once this magical environment is rich enough to a certain degree, more distortions The body will condense out of thin air in the magic field, multiply and expand like a snowball, spreading pollution rapidly... This is also their most terrifying point. We had to build a'majestic wall' to block the entire ancient Gondor kingdom, and the main reason was this. "

While speaking, the elven maid slowly looked around the upper area of ​​the smoky and dusty temple, her tone became hesitant and nervous: "Could it be that this is already..."

"After the magnificent wall is broken, the waste soil will inevitably leak out, which means that the'wasteland' itself has expanded, and we are now crashing near the original sentry tower, stuck in the middle of this breach," Belser Tia said solemnly, "In a sense, we are already standing inside the wasteland, but the huge structure of the temple itself forms a barrier, blocking most of the wasteland to the north, so it is generated here. The number of monsters is also very limited, but... they are indeed spawning."

Elaine opened her eyes wide, she clenched the long sword in her hand a little bit, and a kind of chill continued to spread from the bottom of her heart until the silver queen's voice sounded again, and she interrupted the chill in her heart: "Fortunately we have It's blocked."

She looked at the Silver Queen, and the other party smiled at her, and repeated the words just now: "Fortunately, we blocked it. Even if there are a few monsters that can climb over from the top of the temple, they will be caught on the south side. The defenders are quickly wiped out, and the breath of the wasteland will be blocked by the falling mountains of the Temple of Stars. Elaine, we did not make the Gaoling Kingdom the second Gondor wasteland, which is a good thing."

Elaine looked at the empress who grew up with her in front of her. She was stunned for several seconds before she finally lifted a smile from the corner of her mouth: "You are right, this is indeed a good thing..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a low noise that seemed to be a mixture of roars and whispers suddenly emerged from the nearby smoke and dust!

The voice grumbled, at first it seemed to be just a touch of auditory hallucinations in smoke, but then there were hazy limbs appearing in the air. The first thing that appeared was a pair of twisted bones, and then there was blood flowing like mud. Converging and forming on the surface of the bones, terrible distortion monsters were born from nothing under the eyelids of Elaine and Bersetia, like a nightmare emerging out of thin air!

"Huh clang!"

The sound of breaking through the air and cutting metal instantly cut through the air. As soon as the monster had condensed in half, it was directly blocked by two crossed swords, and Elaine's figure instantly attacked and returned to Belcetia's side. Unlike the dark wizards and evil dragons told in the bard's story, she would not wait for the disgusting monster to be fully born like waiting for the brave to give a speech.

"You are right about another thing," Elaine glanced at the blood stains on the long sword that had been smashed and turned to look at Bersetia with a wry smile. "These monsters are really just born..."

Bersetia did not answer, but slowly raised the battle staff and enchanted sword in her hand, and in the surrounding air, disturbing breaths were quickly converging, and countless low whispers and roars seemed to be empty. One after another in the air, filled with her senses like a nightmare waiting in the dark.

Perhaps it was the sense of the strong breath of life here, or the fact that the battle just now caused too much movement, and the malice entrenched in this wasteland finally noticed the two active "uninvited guests" here, the power of corruption. Its minions were condensed here, one after another, the shadowy and deformed tall figures quickly condensed in the surrounding air, flooding the eyes of the master and servant.

This time, it seemed that there was no corner to hide, and no route to avoid.

Bersetia glanced at the close maid beside her: "Elaine, are you afraid?"

"It's nothing terrible, it just feels a bit disgusting for these things," Elaine said blankly, "Killing so many disgusting things in one day, I'll have nightmares when I go back."

Bersetia smiled, the end of the battle staff in her hand began to float with magical illusion, but she couldn't help but think of something that seemed irrelevant to the situation in front of her.

"Uncle Gao Wen seven hundred years ago...did he also faced this situation and finally died of exhaustion?"

"Perhaps... the record of that battle is not detailed, but I think the situation before us should be almost as bad as that."

Bersetia smiled, she gently waved her staff, a chain of thunder curtain ignited the surrounding air, like a torrential rain, slaughtered those monsters that had not yet been fully condensed, and more twisted figures. But it condensed in the smoke after the monsters fell, and the low whispers and roars around became clearer and full of maliciousness.

"You said, if we fall today, we will be like Uncle Gao Wen in a few hundred years... What did he say... ‘open the coffin and rise’?"

"You won't fall down today," Elaine raised the swords in her hands, and said unreasonably but confidently, "As I said, this filthy land is not worthy of swallowing your life."

Bersetia couldn't help laughing, and shook her head slightly: "You are really happy..."

"boom!"

A terrible loud noise suddenly exploded at this moment, interrupting the Silver Queen's next words, and also shocked the entire world.

It sounded like a heavy behemoth hit the ground at the speed of sound, like another hill crashing next to the Temple of the Stars. This terrible impact even shook the entire land, causing Belcetia and Elaine at the same time. Feeling dizzy and dizzy, they heard another series of roars from a distance, and they rushed towards this side crushed all the way.

Like an angry behemoth, it is rampant and flat on the mountains.

Even Elaine, who has always maintained her composure, couldn't help being shocked at this moment: "Your Majesty...what is this?!"

Bersetia was equally stunned. She saw a huge cloud of smoke rising into the air in the distance, and there seemed to be something huge in the smoke rushing towards this side.

"I do not know…"

She murmured subconsciously, but before she finished speaking, another thunderous voice overwhelmed her murmur.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming"
