The girl gritted her teeth and cursed, but then she discovered the meaning of the other person's words... She suddenly concentrated, and a layer of faint holy light suddenly sealed the space around her like flowing water.
He actually stole some of his superficial thoughts...
Ariel knows very well that with the blessing of that evil artifact, her power has actually lost its advantage in front of that human being, especially the mental barrier. If she is not careful, she will be taken advantage of by the other party.
, even if that simple mind touch can only read superficial thoughts, it still makes the blazing god servant feel particularly humiliated!
Time moves slowly but quickly, and when the sun in the sky tilts a little toward the west, this ridiculous massacre finally comes to an end, when the last prisoner has turned into the material of the soul.
, the massacre side began to withdraw.
Collecting every specially crafted spiral arrow on the battlefield, rinsed it in a simple puddle and put it back into the box. After doing all this, the captain of the knight rode his horse and approached the carriage, "Master Mage, let's pick up
Where are you going?" He dismounted respectfully, saluted, and then asked.
Edward raised his gaze and noticed the strange magic fluctuations in that man's soul.
Not just this one, in fact, the souls of more than a hundred knights a little further away are shining with this color. Obviously they are also victims of some kind of control spell - it seems that the mage doesn't care at all.
What is the division between his subordinates? Maybe the reason why most of the Tuminis nobles gathered together for this war instead of relying solely on the Demon Wolf Legion was to facilitate him to select stronger forces from the elites from various places.
His strength seems to have increased a lot, or is it originally beyond his expectations?
Magic's control over human beings is not as powerful as those common rumors say, or the power given to humans by the Magic Network itself has its limits. Even a great mage can only control hundreds of humans at the same time, and
As the mental strength of the controlled person increases, this number will decrease exponentially. So how many advanced magic did the Archmage use to directly control this group of soldiers?
Being able to do this means that his power has exceeded the realm of ordinary archmages - or there is some way that allows him to cast powerful spells such as 'Group Charm' at will, or he has a team dedicated to doing this.
subordinates, but those people’s power must be exposed to at least seven or eight levels of spells?
Or is it a powerful artifact?
The power of Mentor Thomas has accumulated to such an astonishing level? Then why does he want to make such a lot of tricks? If he wants souls and directly controls several powerful lords of the empire, wouldn't it be better to launch a territorial war?
?Or perhaps, this kind of power was only formed recently with the accumulation of time?
But would demons give such a thing to a human being? Or, in other words, the previous judgment of the subordinate relationship between the archmage and the demons was actually completely opposite?
"Well done. It's great that such a large number of souls have been gathered in such a short period of time."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, interrupting his thinking.
The voice came from the crystal ball in his hand. The gray clouds were billowing and seemed to converge into one person's face: "Form up your team with your subordinates immediately and prepare to come back to accept the next mission."
Edward frowned.
The surrounding space is constantly vibrating and reshaping. Finally, it gathered and took shape not far from the carriage. A huge light door large enough for two carriages to pass was erected almost in an instant, with ripples like water.
, reflecting the distorted scene around it, even under the sun. It has a certain cold meaning, making people flinch at the sight of it.
Then the psychic was stunned again.
He originally thought that the Archmage would transfer the soul directly and just send the sphere into his demiplane, but he didn't expect to see such a large formation - in this environment.
, even with the help of an independent magic tower, if you want to be in this world
It would not be an easy task to open a portal of this size somewhere in a certain location. Edward could do it easily because he had the Divine Code and deprived a complete dimensional rift of its existence. But if you want to build such a portal from scratch,
A teleportation array requires resources that are probably unimaginable.
However, as the psychic warlock stared at the portal, his eyes only became brighter and brighter. A silvery luster passed over his body, and the black robe immediately turned into a simple dark red. "Yes, Your Excellency.
"He responded to the crystal ball with a low, hoarse voice, and then turned to the soldiers: "Let's go!"
The carriage tremblingly passed through the silver light door, and the scene after that made the two strong men in the carriage hold their breaths for a moment.
Behind the portal is the interior of a huge building, which can almost be called 'incomparably magnanimous'! Dozens of huge marble columns support the foundation of this hall, and the intricately carved textures make the entire structure feel luxurious and elegant.
Without losing its solemnity, the vast space and the twenty-foot-high temple roof seemed to have been hidden in a hazy mist. In the quiet space, only the breathing and suppressed screams of more than a hundred people scattered into an empty atmosphere.
Buzz.
This commotion did not last long.
A knight's eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to roar, but his body was already frozen in that movement, and a layer of blood suddenly spurted out from his skin into mist, disappearing without a trace in an instant. Then it was as if he was being beaten.
As if the blood was taken away, the color of his whole body receded. With a soft pop, the standing figure turned into dust vibrating in the air, and disappeared without a trace along with the horses under him...
Before only the gray powder fell lightly on the ground, a greenish phantom loomed in place.
Everyone's astonished eyes fell on that figure, but then, the soft popping sounds started to sound one after another. Almost in an instant, the hundreds of people who were standing still were completely flying around.
In the dust mist, the invisible disappears.
Edward's expression changed.
It was not because of those who died, but as the death spread, something familiar seemed to be spreading in the air. That wonderful feeling aroused the part of his spirit and made his heart beat faster. The whole person
Everyone started to get excited.
"This feeling is so weird."
Just when his brows were slightly furrowed, the figure of the Divine Attendant disappeared in the light of the transformation... Only the sound was still in his ears. Edward suddenly felt a cold on his wrist, and when he raised his hand to look, he noticed that there had been a climb up there.
A small silver snake appeared.
A beautiful little thing.
Her small body is only about a foot long, about the thickness of a little finger. Her tiny body is crystal clear. If you look closely, you can notice that the silver scales seem to be translucent... but with a seven-color luster. The scales
A cool feeling traveled on his wrist, which was a little comfortable and a little itchy, making Edward snort.
Coiled around his wrist, the snake slowly raised its head. It did not swallow snake messages like ordinary snakes, but stared at Edward with a pair of golden eyes: "It has a very strong smell of devil,
But there is also something...very weird. I don't know what it is, but it feels very strange and a bit familiar...probably not a good thing." When the snake-shaped body was raised, it revealed a few pieces on the side of the neck.
The scales were wider and longer, but equally soft. The corners of Edward's mouth curled up in a bitter arc.
"This is a feathered serpent? How can any mage get such a pet?"
If it was an ordinary snake, Edward might not be able to tell the difference. After all, he, a half-hearted magic apprentice, had not received much training in related knowledge, but the feathered snake happened to be not one of them - thanks to his original knowledge of those monster illustrations.
His study was done backwards, and his understanding of some well-known big monsters was much better than that of some small magical beasts.
"I'm not your pet! And, do you really think they will pay attention to these things?" The Seraph of the Seraph, no, now a feathered serpent, she shouted angrily in the spirit of the psion. But that damn thing
The man unexpectedly reached out
He rubbed his hand on her slender neck: "It's so beautiful," he admired, but in exchange for that little thing's lightning-like pounce! The small but sharp teeth were about to be nailed in.
Edward's fingers made him chuckle a few times unscrupulously.
"Number 9527, bring the soul over here immediately. Number 9527, what are you doing! Come out quickly!" A voice came from far away from the hazy wall, faintly in the empty hall.
The echo caused the psychic to be startled, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
With a wave of his hand, a ray of green light passed by, and the body of the red-robed mage at his feet shriveled up suddenly, throwing out a piece of dust. Edward casually rolled up the remaining robes and some fragments and stuffed them into the space bag, and at the same time
He didn't forget to press the wall of the carriage, so the four crossbow carriages in the next carriage made a subtle clicking sound and melted into four steel ingots.
The continuous-fire crossbow is definitely a major reform that can change the way of fighting on the battlefields of this world. Although it is far from being able to compete with machine guns in terms of efficiency, it is enough to cause a military leap forward, so Edward will never
Leave it to these mysterious guys. Although the other party has probably obtained a sample of this weapon through other channels, he still doesn't want to take the risk.
After doing all this, he slowly opened the car door and walked out holding the crystal ball.
The sound of rustling passed through the empty hall, making the surroundings fall into a kind of quiet peace, and as he slowly moved forward, countless colorful lights took shape in his eyes.
Not a demiplane.
After taking the first step, he confirmed his guess - although the portal just now was vast, the level of power used was not very high, so he was still in the main material plane, and from the surrounding
Based on the analysis of the scene, this should be the interior of a certain ruins.
It must have been at least a thousand years ago. It is almost a miracle that some remnants of the ancient magical kingdom can be preserved so well.
Is the familiarity I feel related to this thing?
At this time, he had arrived at the door of the hall where the curse had just come from. The door was already open there, waiting for his arrival.
This is an extremely neat and spacious walkway. The flat and smooth ground is spotless. It has a reflective luster like a mirror, with beautiful and fine lines here and there. However, compared with the ground, the surrounding walls are much rougher, with rugged rock formations carved into them.
The traces are as if they were directly cut by some huge force. Only the exquisite magic lamps embedded in the rock walls at intervals prove with their quiet brilliance that the formation here is not due to natural power.
"Really, what are you waiting for?" Standing next to the door was a mage wearing a high-level robe. When he saw Edward approaching, he immediately came out angrily and snatched the crystal ball from the opponent's hand, and then gave a brief order: "
The master is very busy now, go and help the third group of people perform the ritual."
Edward raised his eyebrows. The unlucky guy just now hadn't gotten enough information from the opponent's body. He didn't even know what the situation was here... What's even more troublesome is that the guy responsible for receiving him seemed to be quite capable.
Yes, the tentacles of thinking were unable to touch the surface of his thinking... In other words, there was a dark red energy like a flame that completely blocked his head, preventing the tentacles of thinking from penetrating.
The tentacles retracted at the first touch, but this guy suddenly trembled. He turned his head, staring at the psychic with a pair of yellow-green eyes under the hood, and shouted sharply. "What are you doing?"
Does it also come with an anti-detection function?
However, just when Edward was about to use mind blast to shut up this guy, the other person's expression suddenly changed. Then he casually pulled out a piece of jadeite from his sleeve, carefully put it on his face and stayed there for a while. He left it
Edward gave a vicious look, turned around and ran towards the other side of the passage.
What is this?
The psychic waited hesitantly for a moment, but the imaginary alarm sound did not seem to sound, so he walked leisurely along the corridor. The luster of divine power flashed in his eyes, and he roughly pointed out the surrounding areas.
The terrain... And there is a passage connecting here in the direction with the largest population, so there must be no problem.
"Did you hear anything?" The small snake swam slightly on his wrist, making Edward tilt his head.
It seems that there is indeed some kind of sound echoing around - extremely subtle, a bit like a human voice, but if you pay close attention, you will notice that it is different from ordinary human voices, closer to... a howl.
It was like hundreds of thousands of people screaming, screaming, and screaming at the same time without any pattern...the kind of howl mixed together.
"Isn't it strange? Don't they just like this kind of thing?"
The Psion was unmoved.
That kind of shouting is the wail of the soul - since Thomas has been determined to be a collaborator of the devil, those evil things will naturally bring about such by-products. The most common pastime of the devils is to torture the human soul.
Gaining pleasure from the pain of mortals, reading their thoughts, and all kinds of weird 'experiences' to gain joy. And when such a large number of souls are collected here, it is actually normal for such a sound to appear
.
"No, that's not right..."
Ariel does not have divine power or spiritual perception, but as a celestial creature, the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant obviously has a deeper understanding of the soul. "Some are different, especially on the left, about five hundred yards away.
"
Edward frowned.
The wailing of the surrounding souls made no difference to his hearing, and he was not interested in caring about what those demons were doing here - as long as he could find some clues about Thomas' demiplane and get rid of this trouble, those demons
What he was going to do was not his concern at all.
Unfortunately, there was something firm in Chitian Divine Attendant's words, which made him hesitate for a moment, and finally he took that fork in the road.
The fork in the road is a long path, with rooms lined up on both sides. Along the way, most of the doors are tightly closed, and the complicated magic defense luster shines on it, making Edward's vision narrowed for a while.
There were a lot of mistakes, but fortunately, there are always oversights where there are people - a few mages walked out of a door at the end, and Edward was able to observe the scene inside the house.
This is a small room, but it is obviously different from the corridor. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all smooth stone planes, with fine patterns etched on them, shining with a faint luster.
There are huge crystals standing in it. A hazy cloud is floating on each crystal at the moment, and the scenes of passages are transformed into it. In front of each crystal, there is a figure wearing a robe.
In those crystals, countless lights and shadows are flashing, forming human faces, but each one has a strange calmness.
Yes, calm, they are serious and funny.
But probably no one who faces this guy will smile at this funny appearance - there are countless human faces faintly revealed, as if they want to break free from it, and their constant struggle makes them change.
It was extremely twisted and ferocious, and just looking at it was enough to make people feel an inexplicable chill from the bottom of their hearts.
