"Stand behind me. ↖," Landreaux shouted at a broken low wall. He pulled his long sword horizontally and cut a seventh-level demon that rushed forward into two pieces.
Afu and Lacios stood behind his tall body, constantly releasing spells.
Around them, dozens of mercenaries formed a defensive circle with a half-collapsed tower as the center, fighting hundreds of demons.
The sounds of swords and axes being swung, gasping, roaring, screaming and the cry of the abyss demon "Hooka" were intertwined, making it chaotic and tragic.
After releasing several ice blades and cutting a level 6 demon on the right into several pieces, Afu felt a little weak, and her forehead and temples felt like needle pricks.
The continuous fighting has exhausted her physical strength and her mental strength is also facing exhaustion.
As for the magic power, she could only fight with level 4 magic more than ten minutes ago. If it were not for the supplement of a few spiritual power pills, she would not be able to release even a water arrow now.
Afu looked around.
Not far away, several shriveled corpses lay. And further away, that weird demon with sharp mouthparts was sucking the blood of a dead mercenary.
This wave of fighting has lasted for more than an hour. If it weren't for this broken tower that looked like a small hill, with staggered heights inside and outside, it would have been impossible to persist until now.
"Ouch!" A shrill scream sounded.
Afu turned around and saw that under the siege of Olivia, Wood and Lake, a level nine demon had one of its arms cut off.
It retreated.
As it retreated, hundreds of demons receded like the tide.
In just ten or twenty seconds, they had disappeared into the dark woods and ruined buildings, leaving only demon corpses turning into black mud and messy footprints all over the ground.
"Clang!"
An exhausted mercenary couldn't hold on any longer. His hand loosened and his weapon fell to the ground. He also fell down.
"Hurry! Who still has medicine on them? Spiritual power pills, healing medicines, anything with a few stars will do. Body tempering pills, Dingshen pills will also do."
"Come and help, help people up."
"Be careful outside and take turns to rest. The mage should meditate quickly to restore his magic power."
Amid the commotion, the mercenaries were in a mess. Everyone was helping to support their injured comrades, or they were clearing the battlefield, setting up security, and preparing for the next battle.
Landreaux waded through the muddy water and walked to Olivia and Wood.
"What should we do now?" Wood placed the shield covered with claw marks on the ground, supporting his tired body, and looked at Landreaux with a wry smile, "Continue to trap this place?"
"I don't have any objection." Olivia's body was covered with mud spots. Strands of hair wet with sweat hung down and stuck to her ears. Her lips looked a little white due to excessive use of mental power.
She looked at Landreaux, her eyes were calm, but there was a hint of despair, "This is the best place we can find."
Landro gritted his teeth and turned around to look. What appeared in his eyes were unfamiliar tired faces.
The composition of the team now is very complex.
The original joint mercenary team had been completely disbanded. There were more than a hundred people. Now there are only more than forty left. In his team, only Reik Afu, Tusu and Laxios are with him. And
Olivia and Wood's team only had less than half of them left.
As for Jacob, Alves, Xiazo and Sanchez, they are all missing. Their lives and deaths are uncertain.
Some people from other mercenary groups joined this team on the way.
Landreaux didn't know most of these people. It was only because they faced the demon's attack together that they all gathered together temporarily. The combat effectiveness of such a team can be imagined.
Landero knew that with this team and this broken tower, he couldn't hold on for long.
"Clean up, let's go." In the eyes of everyone, Landreaux quickly made a decision.
He looked up at several level six silver-winged winged demons flying high in the sky.
Although the terrain of this broken tower is conducive to defense, the threat from these flying demons is great. Only a closed and narrow space can truly curb the demons' numerical advantage.
As for this place, he had already observed it. There was a similar tall tower five hundred meters away. However, the one in front of him collapsed, but the other one remained intact.
Landreault had long discovered the strangeness of this garden.
Not only are all the buildings here far taller than those in the ordinary world, but they are also extremely solid. With their own strength, even a single blow with all their strength cannot destroy an ordinary wall brick. It is precisely because of this that they can rely on the scattered internal and external debris of the broken tower.
Wall to resist the attacks of demons.
Landreaux was curious.
He couldn't imagine what kind of strong man built this place. He couldn't imagine what kind of disaster or battle had broken out here before, causing most of the buildings to turn into ruins.
But he knew that if he couldn't destroy these buildings, then neither could these demons.
As long as you can reach the complete tower, you can occupy a favorable terrain. When facing the devil's attack, you can save a lot of energy.
Landreaux told everyone his plans and destination.
The mercenaries all took action.
However, Olivia did not move. She looked at Landreaux a little tiredly, "Let's go? Is there any point?"
She turned her head and looked around, and after making sure that the other mercenaries were keeping a sufficient distance from here, she lowered her voice and said, "You know what happened, we all know it!"
Landreaux and Wood were silent.
Among the people present, they were the only ones who knew the news that the abyss was closed. And after coming to this garden, they discovered many anomalies.
First of all, those demons with low intelligence and who like to kill each other actually launched attacks on humans in an organized and planned way like an army. Secondly, not only were all the sixth-level demons who disappeared outside concentrated here, but even the abyss appeared
A high-level demon that shouldn't appear on the third floor.
And the most important thing is the appearance of that damn ball devil.
The originally bloodthirsty demons, after killing humans, instead of fighting for flesh and blood, waited for these demons to collect blood.
This kind of violation of demonic instinct makes people shudder.
Combining these anomalies with the background of the closed abyss, even an idiot can deduce a terrifying fact.
Devil's trap!
This name sounds like a story told by a bard, but only a veteran who has been in the abyss for a long time knows that this is a real tragedy that happened more than 10,000 years ago.
No one believed that this would happen to them. However, all the facts told them clearly that this was not a nightmare.
In this dilapidated garden, these more than 600 mercenaries have become the prey of demons. They will use the blood of these people to open a passage to the continent of Avalon.
After a long time, Landreaux said seriously: "I know...but, because of this, we can't give up."
"If you don't give up?" Olivia said, "What's the point of not giving up? The one who could set this trap would not be a ninth-level demon. Nor would it be a tenth-level demon... Do you think we can still get out alive?
Hope? Besides, we can’t even find a way out!”
"Perhaps we won't survive, but..." Landreau shook his head and said, "At least we can't just watch them use our blood as a inducement to bring more horrific killings to the entire world."
Landreaux's words made Olivia and Wood startled. They didn't expect that this was what Landreaux was thinking about at the moment.
"You mean..." Olivia hesitated.
"I've already told Afu, and I need your help too," Landreaux looked into Olivia's eyes. "You have very little magic power left. When you get there, you don't need to fight.
Already."
"That tower," Landro said slowly as he turned to look at the spire of the tall tower in the distance, "is our last position and our mausoleum. If we die in battle..."
His voice was cold and determined.
"Then, burn our bodies in the tower and evaporate our blood. Don't leave even a drop to them!"
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Afu.
The young female mage was looking into the distance in trance. She didn't know what she was thinking. In her eyes was a silent world of ice and snow.
……………
The white light cocoon lay quietly on the floor of the second-floor hall. The soft and smooth shell undulated slightly with the breathing of the figure inside the cocoon. I don’t know how long it took, a crisp cracking sound sounded. Immediately, one after another
The cracks spread. The entire light cocoon collapsed piece by piece like a broken eggshell.
The fragments turned into thousands of raindrops and fell on Roy. His body gradually began to glow, getting brighter and brighter. Finally, as the last drop of light rain merged, a white light burst out. It lasted for about a minute.
Gradually dimmed.
"call!"
Roy woke up from his deep sleep, sat up suddenly, and gasped for air.
He had a terrible nightmare.
In the dream, everyone was dead. Landreau, Av, Lacios...faces that I knew and didn't recognize were floating palely in the black void. There were more than six hundred of them.
Mercenaries, the corpses are spread out in a huge area.
And at the end of the void, there is a burning picture.
Countless demons flooded the city, and countless humans were killed. The town was burning, the streets and the wilderness were full of corpses, and blood flowed into rivers.
In addition to the abyss demons, there are also demons.
They brandished butcher knives, rode on horses covered in bone armor, and killed everyone they saw. They rushed into the palace and set it on fire. Traces of human civilization, inheritance, and even survival all fell with them.
Sculptures, collapsed buildings, burned books and rotting corpses were completely erased.
After the catastrophe, the sun no longer rises.
The entire continent of Avalon has turned into a huge and silent black tomb.
After gasping for breath, everything before coma came back to his mind. Roy looked around and realized that he had somehow returned to the second floor of the magic tower.
It seems that I got through by luck.
Roy let out a breath. Thinking back to that hellish magic circle, he still has lingering fears. He doesn't know how he survived in the end. But what he can be sure of is that after this training, he has improved in magic control skills and
I have gained a lot in terms of knowledge of elemental structure.
Standing up, Roy subconsciously raised his hand.
Whoosh whoosh! Dozens of wind blades took shape instantly, flew out like enraged wasps, and hit the wall.
A strange golden light flashed.
Immediately, Roy heard a series of dense roaring sounds. Stone chips flew. The extremely hard stone wall was instantly cut by dozens of wind blades, creating a large hole fifty centimeters in diameter and eighty centimeters deep!
This scene shocked the unprepared Roy. He stared blankly at the big hole, his mouth opened, and his eyes were so wide that they almost fell off.
"What's going on..." ..I heard someone said that I will have sex today. I must be satisfied...(To be continued.)
