"Bang!" An ax hit the shield. Roy took two steps back, turned around, and at the critical moment, he got out of the way of a long sword sweeping behind him.
Before he could stand firm, an arrow flew past his cheek and was nailed to the wall.
"Damn it!"
Roy was a little depressed.
I don’t know what kind of metal these skeleton guard statues are made of. They are not only extremely hard, but also very flexible. What’s even more frightening is that the thirty-six statues seem to be commanded by the same brain. They advance, retreat, avoid and attack in perfect coordination.
.
In terms of combat effectiveness, they are more than a hundred times stronger than the thirty-six real skeleton guards!
Relying on the elf's footwork, Roy was still able to move around in the siege. Soon, he had reached the stairs on the right side of the rotunda.
Roy made up his mind to try and see if he could rush up to the second floor and get rid of these statues. Even if that didn't work, he could at least use the narrow terrain of the stairs to contain the siege of the statues so that he would not be attacked from both sides. But soon, this fantasy came to an end.
Broken.
A magic light curtain shrouded the staircase and bounced Roy back. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been chopped into pieces by the three statues.
"Do you want anyone left alive?" Roy was helpless and embarrassed under the siege of the statue.
During this period of time, he could only fix Judgment in the form of a shield to resist the attacks that were so intensive that there was almost no interval. He was completely unable to use his hands to counterattack.
"Is this kid a magician or a knight..." Long Ba asked with a strange look on his face where Roy couldn't see him.
"Who knows," Long Qi shrugged his shoulders and clicked his tongue while watching the battle with concentration, "But for a rookie with eight battle levels, his strength is pretty good. By the way, human beings
What's the name? It seems to be the Knight of Glory, right?"
"It's called the Glory Knight," Long Jiu nodded and said, "Although these magic pattern war puppets placed on the first floor by your Majesty have the lowest combat effectiveness. However, thirty-six of them are activated at the same time, let alone the Glory Knight.
Even the Great Knight of Light will be killed."
It looked at Roy curiously and said, "But this kid actually persisted for such a long time."
"I hope he can continue to persevere and let us watch the show for a while," Long Ba said. "But what's the use? Do you really expect this rookie to save those people? I bet that these humans are dead.
This guy can't even get to the second floor."
"Yes," Qi Gu continued, "Even if you go to the second floor, can you still go to the third floor? If you go to the third floor, can you go to the fourth floor? If you go to the fourth floor, can you go to the fifth floor...
"
It chatters.
Bang! Roy resisted the bombardment of three statues and retreated violently. He hit the wall hard.
It's been five full minutes.
In these five minutes, Roy faced a storm of attacks from the skeleton statues and could only defend passively without any ability to fight back.
At this moment, he was already forced into a corner.
However, the pain in his back did not make Roy panic at all. On the contrary, he took a breath, his face became relaxed, and there was even a smile on his lips.
In these five minutes, Roy didn't just get beaten and gain nothing.
In fact, the harvest was huge this time!
You must know that these skeleton statues in front of you are actually a kind of magic pattern war puppet. However, unlike Titanic, which can fight freely, they rely on fixed magic pattern arrays to exist. Therefore, people
Call it a guardian golem.
However, this does not mean that the guardian golem is inferior to the war golem.
In fact, in places such as castles and magic towers, these defensive golems play a greater role than freely moving war golems. From the moment they are created, they are the most powerful elements of the magic pattern array.
In addition, it is also the most feared weapon.
After the decline of magical civilization, the manufacturing process of guardian golems and the magic pattern system were also lost. The guardian golems that Roy had seen in the dwarf city when he was a child were simply crude compared to the skeleton guards in front of him.
Like a scarecrow in the field!
Therefore, when he was attacked by the skull statue, Roy was half nervous and half excited.
After seeing the nine bone dragon sculptures outside the gate and looking at the murals in the corridor, Roy was completely sure that this relic was the relic left by the Beast King Noiotans.
Judging from the layout and furnishings of the rotunda in front of us, this should be the magic tower of the legendary giant necromancer!
Neuotans lived more than 6,000 years ago. At that time, it was when human magic civilization gradually flourished and developed rapidly. This means that these skull statues are the works of that period. They are part of the magic civilization.
A living fossil left over from the heyday!
This realization made Roy as happy as a bear falling into a pool of honey. His eyes were full of stars when he looked at these skeleton statues. He even felt that he had just struck an ax on the skeleton that attacked him.
It is an unforgivable crime!
This is the treasure that countless magicians dream of!
If nothing else, if teachers like Austin, Gustas, and Williams found out, they might tear themselves apart first.
Therefore, Roy almost immediately gave up the idea of violent destruction.
In addition to not being willing to destroy these treasures, he also knew that with the hardness of the statue, even if he could win, he would probably have to use up all his fighting energy.
And in this strange and dangerous place, this is simply courting death.
The best way is to find the weaknesses of these guardian demons and crack them like a magic pattern master!
Roy was beaten for five minutes and observed for five minutes.
The more he watched, the more excited Roy became.
It must be said that the design of these skull statues is extremely exquisite.
They are all made of an unknown metal and have extremely strong defense. Any skeleton can easily withstand a full blow from a three-star knight of great light.
Moreover, Neuotans cleverly integrated them into this rotunda. The thirty-six statues, using different weapons, cooperated at a distance and protected each other, and they were simply one body. It can be said that they constitute a killing machine.
The formation is far more than two or three times higher than the combined combat power of them fighting alone!
Looking at their walking routes, the coordination of attacks, and the timing of covering each other, Roy was simply fascinated. For the first time, he discovered that the guardian golems could be used in this way.
This kind of coordination system, with a slight modification, is an excellent battle formation for knights to cooperate in a small area.
What fascinates Roy even more is the magic patterns on these skeletons.
The magic pattern not only exists on the bodies of these skeleton guards, but also exists in this large circular hall. It is like a machine. The hall is the main body, and these skeletons are the parts of this machine. On the surface, they have nothing to do with each other.
, but in fact the two are integrated into each other.
The magic patterns on the skull statue are hidden in the armpits, inside the bones, etc. Some of the magic patterns are also covered with armor.
The function of these magic patterns is only to drive them to move and attack. However, it is generally believed that the most critical and indispensable magic pattern systems such as magic core and element gathering cannot be found on them at all.
If someone does not believe in evil and insists on using this as a breakthrough to destroy them, then the wasted time will be enough to make them die countless times.
Their magic supply comes from the floors and walls of the hall.
The hidden invisible magic lines are the foundation of this magic pattern array.
This is terrible.
You know, the reason why Roy was able to discover these, in addition to his extraordinary knowledge of magic patterns, the most important thing is because he has the Eye of Elements.
Another person would not have such good luck.
If a knight comes, then, in his eyes, these are pitch-black metal sculptures. They have no other choice but to attack their joints, hands, feet and other parts.
Not to mention that they can't find the key location of the magic pattern. Even if the magic pattern is placed in front of them, they can only stare blankly as they cannot sense the elements and have no magic power.
And if a magician comes, he may be able to destroy the magic pattern.
However, just asking them to figure out the magic pattern system on the skull statue based on their perception is no different from asking a blind person to sort out the skeins of thread wrapped in a warehouse. Moreover, their weak bodies and poor close combat capabilities are not at all possible.
There may be such time and opportunity.
The process of observation is also a process of learning.
During this battle, Roy discovered several exquisite magic pattern structures, which not only corroborated the magic pattern knowledge taught by Austin and Williams, but also solved many confusing areas. He was fascinated by what he saw.
Drunk. If he wasn't pressed for time, he would have liked to keep reading like this!
Seven or eight skull sculptures rushed over at the same time.
Roy sighed and reluctantly dodged their attacks. The next step, he appeared a few meters away like a breeze.
Poof. Roy pierced the wall with his sword. At the same time, he flicked his left hand, and a fireball shot out, hitting the joints of several floor tiles not far from the stairs.
"Huh?" the three bone dragons said in surprise.
Roy naturally couldn't hear this sound. He kept moving, avoiding the attack of the skull statue, and walked along the wall of the rotunda at high speed. The long sword in his hand pierced the wall from time to time, and at the same time,
Fireballs also continued to bombard the ground.
At first, Roy's actions seemed inexplicable and ineffective.
If anyone else were here, they would probably think he was crazy.
But as he walked, the frequency and speed of the movements of the skeleton statues in the hall began to slow down. It seemed that every sword that Roy thrust into the wall and every fireball that hit the floor was wrapped around their bodies.
Caught on a spider's thread.
Each spider thread may only slow down the speed a little. But as more and more spider threads become available, the slowdown becomes very obvious.
Later, the movements of the skeleton statues were like a group of old people, several times slower than before.
By this time, although the thirty-six skeleton statues were still chasing Roy persistently, they could no longer cause any harm to him.
"Didn't you enjoy the fight?"
After walking around the hall and returning to the original place, Roy curled his lips. In the attack just now, he had used the long sword infused with magic power to disrupt the elemental operation of the key nodes of the magic pattern array, which directly led to
The instability of magic power transmission. This is why the speed of these skeleton statues is getting slower and slower.
And now, what he has to do is to complete the final blow.
With a flash of his body, he had cut into the gap between the two approaching skeleton statues. Swipe... Two sword lights hit the body of the skeleton statue.
Compared to the ax that Roy had struck before, these two swords were as light as child's play.
However, the statues hit by these two swords stopped at the same time as if a switch had been turned off. Even the flames in their eyes were extinguished.
Roy's feet changed, and his figure was like the wind, walking through the skull statues. As his long sword thrust out again and again, the skull statues stopped one after another.
After a few seconds, the flame in the eyes of the last skull statue went out. Almost at the same time, the huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall lit up. A line of fire traveled from a wall lamp on the wall and circled around.
Light all the dozens of wall lamps.
The entire hall was as bright as day.
In another place, three bone dragons have exploded.
"Perfectly passed the test?" The look on Long Ba's face was as if someone had hit his nose hard with a big hammer, and it was completely deformed, "This is impossible!"
Long Qi and Long Jiu were also speechless.
In the rotunda, the magic light curtain that originally shrouded the entrance of the corridor showed a blue figure, and then turned into starlight and dissipated like a lit gauze curtain.
The door to the second floor opens.
Passed?
Roy breathed a sigh of relief, took steps towards the entrance of the second floor stairs.
