Chapter 13 The End (Part 1)
After recovering his magic power, only more than twenty mages were left behind, and the black magic tutor led other dark mages into the temple.
Although there are thousands of history, the entire temple interior is well preserved. The white fluorescera used for lighting is still embedded on the walls, illuminating the dark passages.
The only thing that makes people worried are the statues erected on both sides of the passage like guards. Although the fully armed night elves knights can be seen from the monumental material that they do not have life, they still make the dark mages who have just entered the temple frightened.
The distance is so close that if an attack is launched suddenly, the mages who are most taboo to be approached will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Renner, don't you think... the building material of this temple is a bit strange?" From the moment Kahler entered the temple, he felt something strange, but he couldn't say that he was strange.
"Indeed... these statues are too strange. Not only are they numerous, but they are carved too carefully, making people wonder whether they are petrified living organisms." Renner leaned into the stone statue of the night elf that he had entered the most. After careful observation, he found that the statues were too realistic. Perhaps it was some mechanism in the temple, just like the two miracles at the gate. If the Night Priestess had not used props in advance, he might have to fight with them now before entering the temple.
"I'm not talking about this. You see, it's not strange that they use their own glowing fluorite as lighting materials. The dark night temple usually uses moon fluorite containing dark elements. Luxury is the habit of dark elves. But they use the cheapest white fluorite as lighting, which makes me wonder. The night elves two thousand years ago were in the Age of Divine Power. How could they have placed white fluorite lighting in the temple of their main gods?" Kale was puzzled by the way. Why did the night elves place such lighting stones that even ordinary human civilians had in their own temple?
The situation is a bit bad...
After hearing Kahler's words, Laxis, who had not paid attention to it at first, realized that he was most likely to have made a fatal mistake.
The material of the entire building is actually the Chaos Stone that the mage hates the most.
Elements cannot move in this closed building, so they naturally cannot cast spells. Even if they can barely release them, they will still have ordinary primary spells.
If you cannot cast spells, won’t these mages become ordinary people who are powerless and can be slaughtered?
"No, quit quickly!!"
Just as he shouted that everyone would retreat, the two stone statues outside the heavy stone gate moved away from their original positions and closed the thick gate. Immediately afterwards, the fireball and ice cone spells hit the stone gate one after another, but they could not shake the stone gate that was not as thick as three karst.
"Teacher!! We can't get out, this door was blocked from outside!!" Several intermediate mages quickly returned to the gate and tried to use the door opening spell to open the closed stone door.
But the thick stone slab was only slightly shaken and there was no movement. I guess it was blocked by the two stone statues. If there were no strong men like giants, I would not have wanted the stone gate to restart.
The thick stone gate blocked all information from the outside world, and it was not known whether the more than 20 left-behind mages defeated the two stone statues.
what to do?
Reiner pointed his inquiring eyes at the Black Magician, hoping that he could come up with a solution.
"Only the current plan, we can only continue to move forward." Even the scheming Laxis did not expect it.
Judging from the situation, most of the left-behind mages are dead.
Lakoss did not see the corpses of the two monsters in the forest. Even Saro Killing such a monster known for its agility could not fight against the two heavy stone statues. Of course, he would not expect the more than 20 intermediate-level mages to escape unstoppably.
I was too careless. After seeing the priestess using props to fix the two stone statues, I didn't expect them to act on their own.
Laxis was frustrated to find that he had made an unforgivable mistake.
In this temple, he could not use advanced spells at all.
Without elemental elves, even summoning spells cannot be completed.
In addition to the group of dwarves with certain dark spell immunity and anti-magic powers, there is also a former paladin in this temple.
Oh...it's really damn.
The most troublesome thing about the Church of Light is their Paladins. The power of faith is firm among all the Templar Knights. In addition, it has half of the night elf blood, charm and spiritual spells are completely ineffective against him.
In such a narrow building... thinking of being sneak attacked, Laxis secretly imposed a mirror technique on himself, and he himself retreated to the end of the mage team.
This is an advanced spiritual spell that can create phantoms, and even Renner and Kahler, who were accompanying him, did not notice it. Although they felt that there was magic fluctuation around the Black Magician, they absolutely did not expect that Laxis used them as bait and hid in the safest place.
“There is a light ahead!!”
The wizard who explored the path found that there was a milky white light not far away, which was completely different from the faint light of fluorite in the temple.
"Maybe... should we use the invisibility technique?" Renner suggested that no matter whether the previous group of dwarves or other temple guards were waiting there, although it is possible that they will be seen through, this will minimize the losses of personnel.
"I don't agree. Although stealth is a primary spell, it consumes magic power very much. We should keep only a small amount of magic power left to find ways to leave this temple or... to welcome us to encounter enemies soon." Kahler did not agree with Reina's suggestion.
In his opinion, instead of wasting magic power to cast invisible spells that could be seen through at any time, it would be better to turn them into magic attacks that could kill the enemy.
With one less enemy, they have more chances of survival.
The mage who reported the news just now found that the milky white light in front of him had disappeared and was about to explain the situation. Suddenly, someone covered his mouth from behind. He was trying to use his hands to pull away and clamp him with his hands. After a cold throat, the poor Pathfinder slid softly to the ground.
He could no longer express a word, nor could he tell his companions behind him what he saw in his eyes.
The same killing happened to another mage shortly after the poor unlucky mage fell to the ground.
"But... Well, do you feel anything?" Reina was about to defend herself, but the sudden solemn atmosphere in the air made him stop speaking.
The number of people is wrong!!
The first thing he reacted was Kahler. He obviously realized that the number of dark mages was decreasing.
One hundred and twenty dark mages set out from Kasin City, and before entering the temple, they eliminated themselves and the Black Magician. There were exactly one hundred people. But looking around, there were still one hundred people there. It would be good if you could count seventy.
"Be careful, everyone!"
In desperation, Kahler threw out a flash ball he created himself. The strong light immediately made the dim temple look like daytime.
"It's the night elves..." A dark mage who had just found a stranger standing beside him was cut off his throat with just shouting this sentence.
"Sistar-Winn!!" Seeing the cold and bloodthirsty hunting gaze like a poisonous snake shot from the eyes of the silver-haired elf slowly coming out of the darkness, Reina felt a chill on her back.
"Master Reina has not learned his lesson yet. You are against the night elves. This is your second time. Should I consider asking the sword dancer to go to your headquarters to see how many heads the legendary leader has and dares to be enemies with the night elves again and again?" A clear and cold sarcasm came from the darkness, and the familiar tone surprised everyone.
Priestess of the Dark Night? She is not dead yet!!
"Are you surprised? Seeing the shocked expressions on your faces, you must have thought I was dead, so you entered the dusk tower built by the night elves." Moya led the fury dwarf group out from the other end of the dark passage, completely blocking the way forward. On the side of the gate leading to the exit, the night elves holding the magic scimitar emitting red and blue light had already made an attacking gesture.
Although the night elves have a far better combat power than the Pu Ren, in comparison, it is relatively easy for him to break through.
"Retreat!!" Laxis, who was hiding in the crowd, gave the order. Now he had to retreat.
"Can you run?" He raised the rose ring in his hand, and Moya placed it in a groove next to the passage. The slightly sound of gears made the black magician numb his scalp.
"Knights of the Night, destroy these humans who trample on the sacred place of our tribe!" Under Moya's command, the night elves stone statues standing quietly on both sides of the passage like sculptures began to move as if they had been lifted from the petrification curse. They pulled out their weapons and walked towards the dark mage.
Fireballs, ice cones and lightning attack one by one at a time when they are able to move.
Ordinary spells rarely work on high-hard petrified skins. Even if you concentrate your firepower to kill one, another will be added immediately.
The sound of the dark mages chanting the mantras was gradually replaced by the wail of despair.
"We have won, there is no need to kill them all, right?" Eric saw the night elf stone statue with his weapon holding his hand and used up his magic power. He could not help but plead for them.
For the Dark Mage who had lost the ability to resist, this was a unilateral massacre. Although they were indeed bad, the bard, who was not strong enough, still hoped that the priestess could let go of the Dark Mage who had already started begging for mercy.
"Drive all the sacred? Bards, they entered the temple to kill you all the sacred, but... the characters have been changed now. If I die, if this temple is not made of Chaos Stone, and now being killed, you will beg for mercy. Be kind to the enemy, it is cruel to yourself. Moreover, they are dark mages, and each of them has carried at least one life, so you don't need to plead for them." Seeing the temple stone guardians massacred the dark mages who have no ability to resist, Moya coldly rejected Eric's request.
If it were before, she would never do such a thing. But in order to clear the dark followers and to force herself to adapt to the laws of darkness, she must let these go, and the guy who will definitely make a comeback next time will be solved at one time.
Laxes hid in the corner, not surprised at the purging action of the Dark Night Priestess. In his opinion, this is the cold-blooded scripture that the Dark Clan should have.
The Black Magic Master now only wants to leave this temple, and ignores the murder of the dark mage who was under his command just now. The person he vowed was still outside the temple. Although he was not injured, he had no choice but to use the two stone gates.
If the Dark Mage did not slip out before the death of the dark mage, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the priestess.
"Huh?" Noting that the substitute that Laxis changed was easily killed, Moya took the Rose Ring out of the groove and let the statue stop moving.
This old ghost... actually used a substitute. Didn't he enter the temple together?
Only Kahler, Reina and other mages were still alive, and the rest were cut into pieces of meat by the weapons guarded by the temple stone statues.
"Has the Dark Magician escaped?" Sistaer returned to Moya's side, glanced around alertly, and found nothing unusual.
"At least it was the substitute spell used before we appeared. Does this old ghost think I can't deal with him? From the perspective of the mage alone, he is indeed several ranks higher than me, but... this is the temple of the night elves, the temple of the night god Haas. As the current highest priest, I enjoy absolute dominance here. Although it is very easy to be a superior mage who cannot cast high-level spells, in order to repay this mentor who once forced me to the brink of death, and the only 18th level dark mage in the past thousand years, I will not kill him."
The best way to pay Laxis, Moya whispered to the dwarf commander behind him, Eric and Maitaro, Eric and Maitaro, who were behind him; "Let's leave the temple now, please tie up all those who are not dead, they are useful. Let them live for a while. As for the Black Magician, I have my own way to deal with him. No matter what happens, you just run forward and don't stop. Otherwise... you will bear the consequences." After briefly explaining what you are about to do, Moya lets the dwarf team, Eric and Maitaro, walk in the front, while she and Sistale are at the end of the team.
Laxis, who followed him, saw Moya use the rose ring to open the stone door and was about to go out, but he heard the priestess shout.
"Run!!"
Feeling something was wrong, Laxis tried his best to rush out, but felt his body be pulled by a strong force. His invisible body gradually appeared.
"I knew you would follow behind, Laxis." Moya stood outside the temple gate, staring at the struggled black magic master. He was unable to display one-tenth of magic power and was firmly bound by the teleportation array.
As early as the moment the temple was opened, she noticed the teleportation array behind the door. It was the only safe path for each dark temple to lead to another world - the Abyss Demon Realm.
"You...even if you are in the Abyss Demon Realm, so what? Am I a superior mage still afraid of those ordinary monsters? Jokes!! Don't forget that the Earth Demon, one of the Abyss Lords, is also my slave!!" Laxis struggled to resist the suction of the expanding teleportation channel on himself. As a dark mage, how could he not know where the already opened teleportation array under his feet lead to?
"Is that so? It seems that you are very proud of conquering the Earth Demon. Since that's the case, then okay, I'll send you to see another lord of the Abyss Demon Realm. Compared to the Fire Demon and the Earth Demon, this one... will definitely be very happy about your arrival."
Seeing the priestess taking out the fluorescent white banshee's howl from the space bag, Laxis's face changed; "What is that?"
"This... Although I don't know how you recovered the Earth Demon named Faris, I think Spider Mother Sfinser must be very happy to see you. She always complains that I didn't bring her some delicious food. You should know that Kakayi is very picky about food. Human males like you, who are full of magic, can definitely satisfy her appetite."
"No!!!!" Hearing the name of Banshee Sfinsl, Laxis finally burst into a scream of fear.
"I hope we can see you again, the Black Magician who has just gained freedom." Moya threw the horn in his hand like a teleportation array. After a while, a pair of huge claws like a sickle dragged Laxis, who had a expression of fear and anger, into the dark twisted space.
"Do you use the Banshee's Howl as a summoning technique?" Seeing those huge claws, Sistaer certainly knew what it was.
Banshee Spencer, who had seen him when he accompanied Moya into the Abyss Demon Realm.
"Hmph...Sphancer, she is definitely the oldest in all the priest's trials, and she is also super strong among the Abyss Lords. No matter how powerful he is, Laxis is still a human. Compared with those ancient demons, his 18th-level mage's ability is nothing. It is precisely because of this that you know this, so looking at his last expression is really awesome. This old guy always looks like a wise elder, and he hates it when he sees it." Using the rose ring to close the stone gate, Moya turned around and looked at the dwarf who also stared at her with wide eyes.
"This is the other half of the reward." He handed over the remaining ten yellow diamonds to Ago, and Moya attracted the magic dragon Luci.
