Menus A voice came from one side, and Fors turned to look.
A handsome man with black hair, red eyes, and hair combed back at an angle, who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, walked over in a black suit. He looked serious yet casual.
Interestingly, although this gentleman was wearing a black suit, the lining of his clothes was red.
"Mr. Moon?" Fores tilted his head to look at him. "It's me."
"I didn't expect that we would be the first two to arrive," Emlyn laughed. "Seeing how eager Mr. The Hanged Man was at the meeting, I thought he would be the first to arrive."
"Are the vampires still monitoring you?" Fors looked around nervously, "Are there any secret sentinels?"
"They don't have the time right now," Emlyn said slowly, "They are still racking their brains to interrogate the Rose School demigod named Zavent, so they don't have time to care about me."
"From what they said, the guys from the Rose School are special. They can't communicate with spirits, so they can only use less extraordinary methods, such as torture, to extract information from them."
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Emlyn moved his nose and seemed to smell something. "Is this... the smell of Goyalena perfume?"
"Those who can afford this kind of perfume are usually nobles..." Emlyn looked around, "Miss Justice?"
"It's me...." As he spoke, a figure jogged out from the darkness, "Sorry... Mr. [Moon], Fowles... I attended an unexpected dance tonight... I could only spray some perfume.....
"How do you know my name...." Before Fores finished speaking, his eyes widened, "God of Steam... Miss Hall?!"
"Hi," Audrey touched her head awkwardly, "Big surprise..."
"Where's Mr. Hanged Man?" Audrey looked around. "Shouldn't he be the first to arrive?"
"I'm here."
A voice came from above, and everyone looked up, and then Alger fell from the sky.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late." Alger said as he stood firm. "There's an emergency at the Church of Storms, so we have to spend some time to deal with it."
"It's related to Gehrman Sparrow," Alger did not hesitate to pass the blame to the [World] in order to ease the embarrassment of being late. "That guy has caused trouble again."
"He and a man called the Archon of Death boarded the Black Tulip and turned Admiral Hell into a secret puppet." He looked at everyone and said, "Not long after they left, an unprecedented change occurred in the Raging Sea."
"The church called this anomaly "The Wail of Death". Without a doubt, this is a major event with far-reaching impact."2
The artificial death god has indeed entered the
"The howling of the god of death....Emlyn's eyelids twitched, "Is this a metaphor? Or... is it the real god of death?"
"I don't know..." Alger shook his head. "The Tarot Club will be held in a few days. I can ask then."
"Not only that, there's also a big problem with the Hermit," Alger continued, "According to reliable intelligence, she was attacked by Vice Admiral Iceberg and was severely injured, and the officers under her command also suffered heavy losses."
"But she herself is still alive."
"Even Miss Hermit... Audrey was a little unbelievable. "I have always felt that, apart from the World, she is the strongest person in the Tarot Club.
"The sea is different from the land, there are many variables," Alger shook his head. "Okay, let's not talk too much, let's get started with tonight's big project."Chapter 192: A Newcomer with Some Talent
"What kind of big production is it?" Fowles asked, "that requires me to prepare so thoroughly?"
"Remember, Miss Justice?" Alger looked at Audrey. "I said that I have the coordinates of the unknown original island."
"The purpose of our trip is that island." After a pause, he continued, "The island is filled with a large number of extraordinary creatures, and even demigod-level creatures wandering around. It is extremely dangerous, but also extremely precious."
"That includes the psychedelic wind chime tree."
"Then what are we waiting for?!" Audrey's mood suddenly became excited, "Let's go now!!"
"Okay," Alger took Lemanno's travel notes, "I'll make it clear that when we get there, you'll follow my instructions."
As the pages of the book turned and the [teleportation] took place, the four of them suddenly disappeared into the night.
"arrive."
When the surrounding scene returned to normal, they had arrived at the edge of a giant island. Mist accumulated in the air, and the crimson moonlight could only penetrate a little. This not only failed to dispel the darkness of the forests and mountains, but instead cast a somewhat eerie and bloody aura on them.
Audrey looked around, and her excellent observation of the audience immediately allowed her to discover something unusual.
It is very quiet here. There are no birds singing, wolves howling, or even insects chirping. It gives people a feeling of deathly silence, as if the entire island is a huge tomb.
As if he had guessed her feelings, Alger raised the lantern to illuminate the natural path ahead that was overgrown with weeds and had many animal footprints.
"If you come here during the day, it's quite lively here, and you can even see some bird creatures that only exist in myths and legends flying in the sky above the forest.
"At night, the power that dominates this place seems to change, and many extraordinary species hide away, waiting for dawn."
"Impressive." Emlyn looked ahead carefully. "So, what is our destination?"
"An ancient relic," Alger began to walk forward, "Its age is unknown, and its details are unknown. I only know that there are very good things inside..."
"I once went deep into the ruins with [Vice Admiral Hurricane] Qi Lingos, but due to my weakness, I was unable to go deeper and could only watch Qi Lingos go in."
"When he came out, he claimed that there was an item hidden inside that was as valuable as the Blasphemous Card."
"The Blasphemy Card…" Fores could not help but think of the card on Mr. Fool's desk. "Mr. Hanged Man, you seem to be very familiar with that pirate general."
Passing by ancient trees whose ages were unknown, Alger went deeper into the island while repeating his self-introduction that was almost the same as in the original world line.
And Fowles finally learned the cause of death of the ferocious pirate general.
It was Tarot's fault. It turned out that her fate had intersected with the [patient] much earlier than she thought.
They soon entered the dark forest where almost no moonlight could penetrate. The trees here were all thick and tall, with dense branches and leaves. Even the smallest ones were too big for one person to hug.
Their common feature is that the bark is obviously scaly, densely connected piece by piece, and seems to come alive and wriggle on the surface at any time.
"Perhaps these barks can be used to make a good potion," Emlyn muttered, climbing over a fallen tree that was blocking the road.
"You can come back later to get it." Alger raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. "The time now belongs to Miss Justice."
Hearing this, Audrey walked around Alger and headed forward, looking towards the open space in front of her and the big tree in the open space.
On the brown-green trunk of the big tree, there is
There were long and narrow cracks one after another, and each crack was dark and deep, as if containing different eyes.
On the outstretched branches hung iron-gray things like wind chimes, which swayed by themselves and made pleasant sounds.
The one closest to the torso and at the topthree-menu menus. In the center of the root branch, there is a fist-sized, colorless, translucent fruit.
"Psychedelic wind chime tree...her voice was tinged with excitement, "It's exactly the same as in the book!!"
As she spoke, she walked forward involuntarily, walked into the depths of the sound of the wind chimes, and walked into the wind chimes.
She stretched out her hands, grabbed her own neck, and began to squeeze and exert force, as if she wanted to strangle herself to death. However, since she was a weak audience member, this obviously took a long time.
Ah..." A faint sound came out of Audrey's throat, and it was obvious that she was really going to strangle herself to death.
Alger covered his face with his hands, unable to bear to watch Audrey's first attempt.
After all, she is the eldest daughter of a noble family, so it is normal for her to lack combat experience.
However, things did not go exactly as Alger expected. Just as he was about to rescue her, Audrey's eyes suddenly became clear.
Her eyes turned golden, and invisible waves rippled out from her like water.
As the waves swept past, a giant dragon seemed to appear in front of Emlyn and Fors. Under the gaze of the dragon's golden pupils, they involuntarily took a few steps back and their bodies began to tremble.
Alger simply gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, seemingly without any change. There was no doubt that as a veteran of many battles, he had a strong resistance to the dragon's might [Deterrence].
But the psychedelic wind chime tree is different.
The sound of the wind chimes immediately faded, and the soft branches immediately tightened, as if they were afraid of a strong enemy. As the sound of the wind chimes weakened, Audrey's whole body trembled.
She immediately shook off the left hand that was pinching her throat, took two deep breaths of air, and suddenly stretched out her right hand, aiming at the wind chime. The golden vertical pupils in her eyes became brighter.
"Frenzy!!"
The soft branches of the psychedelic wind chime tree immediately curled up into a ball and tied into a knot. In the [frenzy], it completely lost its composure and only knew how to lose itself in the chaos.
Without a doubt, mental and physical magic is the biggest weakness of this tree.
"Page 13!!"
"Lemanno's Travel Notes" opened by itself, and countless black bats flew out of the book in an instant, rushing towards the psychedelic wind chime tree and quickly submerged it.
When the bats dispersed, the tree, which was full of holes from biting, drooped its branches weakly, revealing the fruit on it.
Then several wind blades attacked and cut the fruit directly. In the ensuing strong wind, the fist-sized, colorless, translucent fruit fell straight down and landed in Alger's palm.
"You fought OK," Alger commented. "You were pretty immature and almost got killed, but overall, congratulations on your success."
"Thank you..." Audrey took the fruit, her neck still felt a little uncomfortable, "There must be a mark on my neck... I have to think of a way to deal with it tomorrow.
"Keep going," Alger said, "there are many dangerous things ahead."
No one would doubt his words, so everyone
They all walked forward in silence.menus Chapter 193: Assault
One by one, they walked along the path in the woods, and the four people cautiously walked towards the depths of the island.
Emlyn's eyes drifted upwards, and he saw an unknown bird standing on the treetop, looking at them with ill intentions.
He blinked, and with this blink, the bird on the tree disappeared, leaving only a huge lump of tree that looked like a bird in its place.
"I feel like something is following us," Emlyn announced, "something with bad intentions."
"That's normal," Fowles ventured. "I remember there were black characters in my previous works.
"In the deep forest, on the treetops, crows and owls would occasionally land and look at the strangers walking on the path under the trees."
"As if they were symbols of malice, as if they were representatives of hostility, the owl and the crow stared at the traveler from a foreign land, watching him walk to the end of the forest path, to the end, to the castle filled with madness."
"Seeing the traveler's folly, the crows and owls could not help but flap their wings and make noises, laughing wantonly..."
"That's enough!" Alger said sternly, "Stop talking!"
"No matter how good your writing is, there's no need to show off here! We are really walking into an ancient ruins!!"
"I'm sorry," said Fowles somewhat embarrassedly, "It's an occupational disease, I'm used to it...
A voice came from behind, and Fores immediately turned around, but she saw nothing.
"What's that sound?" Audrey grabbed Lemano's travel notes and looked around. "Hallucination?"
"It's not an illusion," Alger subconsciously touched the sulfur-smelling ribbon tied around his body, "There's something nearby, with [malicious intent], but it's not directed at me."
Fowles swallowed his saliva, put on the mask of the Eggers family, put on Callumgard, of course, this mask was not going to speak at the moment.
Without any warning, Audrey suddenly started coughing violently, with no sign of stopping.
Fowles also began to sneeze and tears
Well, snot and runny nose all started to flow out continuously.
"It's a witch." Alger immediately understood.
The attacker said, "Moon, give them the medicine quickly. I will hold off the witch first."
"Okay," Emlyn said, and took out two bottles of medicine, "You go first, Miss Justice...
Alger's eyes scanned the surroundings, his right hand resting on his sword. The [Devil's Ribbon] continued to detect more and more intense malice, but the opponent's target was not him at all, and he was unable to use [Malice Perception] to defeat the enemy.
"2 o'clock..." Foles' voice suddenly came over, "2 o'clock in front of you."
Hearing this, Alger immediately drew his sword and swept it towards that place. The sharp wind blade mixed with the sun's light swept away, and in an instant, several trees fell down.
As the trees fell, a huge black shadow suddenly rose up, rushed into the night sky, spread its wings, and let out a terrible roar.
It was a giant bat, the main ingredient for the [Witch of Pain] potion.
With the breath of wind, Alger leaped forward, swung his sword fiercely, and slashed.
The flower-faced bat flashed suddenly, dodging the edge of Alger's sword. A gust of wind blew past, and the sword slashed again.
Ice covered the bat's claws, scratches and sword light flashed in the air, and the two fought in the night sky like lightning, leaving streaks of light.
The sword and claw collided again, and the huge force shook both sides apart. Alger stepped back and slashed at high speed, and the wind blade attacked the bat like a knife.
The sharp claw swung down suddenly, sweeping away a series of wind blades. The sharp claw swept a wind blade into the forest. The sharp wind blade swept across a big tree and instantly cut it diagonally.
But seeing a bright flame gathering in the bat's mouth, Alger suddenly shot out a
gushed out, illuminating the dark night.
Alger avoided the stream of fire, but more flames gushed out and rushed towards Alger.
"What the hell?" Alger easily avoided all the fire. "Isn't this bat related to the Witch? Why is it suddenly spewing fire..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his sword and blocked the bat's lightning-fast attack. The huge impact force knocked him into the sky behind him, and he couldn't stop his retreat.
Alger gritted his teeth, and the muscles in his arms instantly swelled with anger.
The sword suddenly gained force and flung the bat away with one blow.
"die!!!"
Filthy demonic language rushed out of Alger's mouth, and a large amount of sulfur smoke instantly emanated from the bat's body, and its heart was directly pierced by the words that seemed to have materialized.
"Crackle, crackle—"
The bat turned into a broken mirror and fell from the sky, and its true form emerged on the other side, unharmed.
Pitch-black flames suddenly surged out of its mouth, condensing into a ball and about to burst out.
Suddenly, a long black chain attacked from behind. Caught off guard, it had no time to dodge and was tied up by the black chain around its neck.
And its body suddenly flew backwards unconsciously.
At the bottom of the long chain, Emlyn grabbed it, took a big step forward, and swung the chain violently. The huge bat also slammed down from the air and hit the ground, creating a cloud of dust.
"What?" Emlyn raised his head and looked at the smoke. "It feels wrong. It feels like it's twisted."
"Roar, roar, roar————"
Suddenly, on a big tree next to the smoke and dust, a baboon with naturally curly hair and black crystals growing on its head that formed a strange crown jumped out from the tree.
It was beating its chest in ecstasy just like an ordinary baboon, and next to it, the smoke and dust cleared, and the bat looked completely uninjured.
"A curly-haired baboon?" Audrey blurted out, "A real... curly-haired baboon..."
"Don't worry about whether it's true or not, just run!" Alger shouted in mid-air, "Keep running along this road and run into the ruins. They will never dare to follow us in!!"
"Ho ho ho!!!"
The baboons shouted in high pitch, roaring out invisible
The gust of air swept over everyone on the ground.
The curly-haired baboon leaped up, raised his huge fist above his head, and suddenly dropped it, smashing straight into the crowd.
people.
"Bang!!"
There was a dull sound of flesh colliding, and Alger blocked the baboon's fists with one foot, blocking its heavy blow.
His muscles swelled again, and the wind force suddenly increased. Alger kicked the curly-haired baboon away. The baboon flew backwards, and large distorted ripples appeared behind it, stopping its backward flight.
Stopping its retreat, it attacked again. The curly-haired baboon stepped on the air and punched. Alger blocked it with his left hand and swung his sword backhandedly, but the baboon blocked it and could not cut into it at all.
Fist shadows and sword lights flashed in the air, and flesh and sword blades collided continuously in the air until a stream of light rushed up and separated the two sides.
The bat swung its sharp claws and slashed straight at Alger. Alger almost failed to block it, and the icy claws pierced his face with blood.
The curly-haired baboon fell to the ground, and rushed over on all fours like an orangutan. It jumped up, grabbed one branch after another, and swung to shorten the distance until it finally swung above the three fleeing people.
It rushed down by inertia, punching hard with both fists.
Emlyn turned around, stretched out his hands and pressed hard, taking the two punches that were coming at him. With a dull sound of flesh colliding, the huge force pushed Emlyn backwards, rushing past the two ladies, leaving a trail of dirt more than ten meters long.
"Aa ...
Emlyn exerted force suddenly and threw the curly-haired baboonWhen it reached the side, the baboon fell and immediately turned its body to face him.
Countless black bats rushed forward, but the moment they approached the baboon, they flew out in all directions in chaos. The baboon waved its big hands, smashed the messy bats, and rushed forward.
The huge fist suddenly smashed down and hit Emlyn's arm that was blocking it. Just as Emlyn swung away the big hand, more punches came down.
The dull sound of flesh colliding continued. Emlyn relied on the physical skills he learned from sparring with Ultravsky to continuously block the chaotic punches and deflect the brutal force.
The baboon swept the ground with one punch, creating a cloud of dust and forcing Emlyn back. Then he punched Emlyn again. Although he missed, the huge force still hit the ground, breaking the earth apart.
The huge fist came at him, but Emlyn saw the right angle and used his skills to block it with one hand. With his other hand, he grabbed the wrist of the puncher and threw the curly-haired baboon away with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The baboon fell, quickly turned his body, and suddenly stood up again, rushing forward, punching Emlyn with his huge fist.
Seeing this, Emlyn also clenched his left fist. In Emlyn's imagination, this punch would deflect the incoming fist and go straight to the wrist, blocking the attack with skill.
But in reality, Emlyn's fist collided directly with the giant fist. Caught off guard, the giant fist directly broke through the left fist's resistance and hit him directly in the face.
It was as if his judgment was confused.
Emlyn was knocked flying by the punch and fell to the ground, his face bruised and swollen, his nose bleeding, and his appearance disfigured.
"How could this happen?" He got up, "I saw clearly..."
Before Emlyn could react, the curly-haired baboon rushed over again and punched him again.
"Life and death separate us."Chapter 194: Escape
"Life and death separate us."
A voice came from behind Emlyn, and the giant fist seemed to hit an invisible wall, unable to penetrate.
Emlyn turned her head and saw [Words of the Dead] coming out of Fors' mouth. She stretched out her hand towards the curly-haired baboon.
"Bound flesh, liberated soul."
"Frenzy!!" Audrey followed closely and stretched out her hand to press.
The two magic spells caused an illusory spirit to begin to emerge from the body of the curly-haired baboon. The spirit struggled frantically, and it seemed that it was trying to rush out of the body and leave the flesh.
"roar!!!"
The curly-haired baboon kept retreating in the sudden change, then stood up and roared madly, with large areas of distortion and distortion appearing on its body.
"Oh."
Emlyn grinned, stood up with a somersault, and [Claws of Corrosion] grew directly from his hands.
The sharp claws tore directly, leaving scratches and arcs of light along with splattering blood.
He jumped up and spun around, then Emlyn kicked out, and the baboon flew out in response.
"bump!!!"
Amid the dull sound of flesh colliding, the baboon flew backwards, and a large area of distorted ripples appeared behind it, stopping its retreat.
A large group of bats chased and rushed forward. The baboon roared again, and the bat colony was suddenly in chaos.
The giant fist tore apart the bat colony again, but
Before it could swing a few times, two pitch-black chains grew out from the ground beside it and wrapped around its two arms one after another, restraining it directly.
It raised its head and looked forward, only to see sulfur-like smoke coming out of the mouth of the Magician Fors behind Emlyn.
"die!!!"
Fors pressed down with one hand, and filthy demonic words flew out, like a noose, tightening the curly-haired baboon's heart.
The baboon's body twitched violently, and an illusory shadow appeared behind it. The shadow gradually changed into the appearance of Fors, and then the shadow began to twist violently and began to twitch.
Fors spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, he covered his chest, and took two steps back, as if half of the spell had fallen on him.
"Thirty-three pages!!"
Seeing Falls back away, Audrey immediately
Picking up "Lemanno's Travel Notes", the book turned to that page without wind, flashing a bright light.
A bright lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the baboon directly on the head. It had just twisted its head to utter obscene words and was unable to do so again. It could only scream miserably in the lightning.
The light faded, and the baboon fell to his knees.
The ground was covered with scorched yellow matter, but even so, it was still alive, gasping for breath.
"So tenacious."
Emlyn stretched out his hand, and his corrosive claws were almost dripping with water.
"I'll let you free...
When Alger was dragging the strange bat
After the bat came down, the battle below was completely over.
In fact, the characteristics of this mutant curly-haired baboon began to emerge.
"Well done," Alger smiled.
"That's pretty good considering your lack of combat experience."
"Experience can be accumulated," Emlyn said.
He lay on the baboon's corpse and rubbed ointment on his face, "The wound has healed, but my face...can't be seen by anyone for a week...
"What about you, Miss Magician?" Emlyn looked at Fors, "How are you doing?"
"No... no matter what... ...Fowles had already taken off his mask, his face was very pale.
Bai, "I feel that I am still very ill...
Due to the side effects of this mask, as long as you wear
If she was treated with the drug, Fors's physical condition would only deteriorate, not improve, so the healing potion she had drunk previously had no effect.This effect was set the moment the mask was cast, and even Callumgard himself, the mask itself, could not stop this effect.
If Azik had sealed the mask, this side effect could have been alleviated, but the essence of Azik's seal was to use the [Underworld] to suppress the activity of items. In other words, this seal would make the Kalemgard inside the mask as powerless as a wilted cabbage. Obviously, Azik did not intend to do this.
"I... will take another dose in an hour..." "Fowles stood up and said, "I
"Okay," Alger looked at his spoils, "Let's go quickly, lest more dangerous extraordinary beasts be attracted later."
Everyone nodded, and it was obvious that they didn't want to go through the previous encounter again.
They all stood up and walked towards the ruins, while Audrey picked up the extraordinary characteristics of the curly-haired baboon and walked over with big strides.
"Why... Just as Fors dragged his sick body to follow, Callumgard's voice rang in her heart, 'This time... you want to cause... death?'
"Is it also because of... kindness...?"
"No," Fowles gave a negative answer in his mind, "It has nothing to do with good or evil. It's just a normal hunting trip."
"If I tell you that this ape is a human who has been out of control for a long time, will you regret it?
"Human?!" Fores blurted out, looking at the mask in his hand under everyone's gaze, "You said that curly-haired baboon is... cough cough cough cough... an out-of-control human?!"
"Appearance is determined by the mind..." Callemgard's voice continued to be steady, "The appearance of the out-of-control people... is mostly... based on the uniqueness... of the mythical creatures defined...
'Sometimes... the thoughts of the embodied mind... completely transform into the wild beasts that gather the thoughts...
"Do you regret..... killing your fellow
"I...cough cough cough...I..." Fors coughed and avoided eyes, not knowing what to say.
"Don't listen to the lies of this mask," Alger walked over, "The seal will continue to seduce you until it completely controls you."
"Shut your mouth...boy..." Callumgard's tone changed, "I'm talking to her
"Don't give me that." Alger's face darkened. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to.
The mask began to vibrate, and suddenly a loud noise was heard in the distance. Along with this loud noise, countless birds were startled and flew out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
I saw the trees in that direction begin to wither,
The weeds began to wither, the soil began to turn white, and in the darkness of the distant forest, dark green eyes opened.
Fowles could not see what those eyes were, but the other three people, who either had excellent observation skills or had good vision in the dark, could see them clearly.
They were crawling out of the soil.
The eyes of the corpse!! Not only that, there is also a large group of blurry shadows gathering around and constantly emerging.
Soon, the sound coming from that direction became louder and louder, as if it was coming straight towards the few people.
"Run!!!!"
Without waiting for Alger to say anything, several people started running towards the ruins without looking back. No matter if it was Audrey and Fors, who were weak, or Alger and Emlyn, who were strong, they all ran for their lives.
Alger looked back and his pupils shrank instantly.
A huge feathered serpent that is too big for a single person to hug is swimming towards them at a very fast speed. This feathered serpent has huge dark green and black scales and exaggerated eyes that are burning like flames.
In the gaps between the scales, white feathers covered with pale yellow oil grew out, and these feathers even formed a pair of thick wings on its back that could be unfolded.
More importantly, the pressure from the feathered snake made the blood vessels in Alger's forehead tremble.
Jump straight.Demigod-level Quetzalcoatl!!!"
A surge of madness suddenly surged through Alger's body.
The wind swept everyone and accelerated suddenly.
"Run!!!!!"
