After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 565: Response
The sudden change made everyone feel depressed.
They could all feel the terrifying power of Avis's annihilation particle, but under this level of attack, the altar was able to remain intact.
Wherever the particle passed, space was distorted and annihilated, leaving behind a straight distorted mark that was solidified like an oil painting.
In other words, the altar did not dodge the attack by creating a spatial layer, but rather resolved it in an incomprehensible way.
Facing the green flame column, and the gaze that seemed to carry a huge sense of oppression that transcended the levels of life, everyone instinctively activated their strongest defense state.
This has nothing to do with rank, but is an instinctive sense of crisis when a life encounters a natural enemy.
The priest on the high platform did not care about the crowd's reaction, but knelt down in front of the flames with a fanatical look. And the dark green flame column did not make any move towards the crowd for the time being, and the situation in the venue was strangely calm for a while.
"What is that?"
In the turbulent crowd, two players, The Last Dragonborn and Summer Night Firefly, keenly noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
"I'm not sure, but as a professional player, I can tell that if the fire pillar could cause such a reaction among the natives present, there must be some extremely terrifying danger hidden in it."
While everyone on the scene was alert and nervous, many players in the live broadcast room were watching with great interest.
"The boss is coming out!"
“It’s out! It’s out!”
"Wow, it's so green. Even the host's helmet is green."
"Love is like a ray of light, so green that it makes you panic."
It is a very precious sight to be able to see the mission experience of truly high-end players.
"The detection skill is full of question marks, but don't panic, everyone. Let me use my secret skills to detect the information of that thing."
After waiting for a while, the last dragonborn realized that there seemed to be no danger for the time being, and the suicidal mentality that is unique to players prevailed again.
There is no doubt that the system's built-in detection skills have no effect on the fire pillar. But he also has a powerful special ability that he has obtained in his adventure, the Origin Demon Eye.
But just as he tentatively activated the skill, he suddenly trembled and instantly covered his left eye.
At the same time, a strange pendant hanging on his chest, which looked like a mini doll but had facial features somewhat similar to his own, instantly turned into ashes, as if it had been completely burned to ashes by some invisible flame.
The last dragonborn only felt that an extremely dazzling green flame seemed to light up in front of his eyes, and then the vision of his left eye disappeared instantly in a burst of pain, as if he had completely lost this eye.
But he did not care about his injuries, and immediately used the system panel to check his condition.
The power of the Mystical Eye of Origin was still there, and it had not disappeared. However, the substitute doll that he had obtained during a high-risk hidden mission was now completely destroyed.
"Damn, what level of stuff is this?!"
The last dragonborn felt heartbroken, for that thing was a mysterious item given to him by an old witch, which could withstand a fatal injury on his behalf before he reached level 70.
In order to make this thing, the old witch paid the price of her own life, which is the principle of equivalent exchange in mysticism.
Now, it was suddenly damaged, which meant that his previous action should have brought about a fatal crisis.
"Survived? Interesting mysterious item. But it seems that the green flame pillar is not a real god, not even the will of a god."
Avis also saw this scene. As a high-level magician, he immediately deduced some important information from the changes in the elves.
The green pillar of fire in the center of the altar should not be a part of the true body of the "God", nor even the incarnation of God's will, but a medium connecting this world with the "God's" consciousness.
Specifically, the nature of that pillar of fire was similar to a video chat window, which allowed one to see the scene on the other side but was unable to touch it.
This was the result of Anvis snatching away many captives in advance and preventing the ceremony. Otherwise, it would not be a "video chat window" now, but a real window to the world.
Otherwise, the elf would not be able to survive even with that thing protecting it, because the substitute doll was not mysterious enough.
"Everyone, we can't hesitate any longer. We must now do our best to eliminate the unknown entity on the altar. That thing has not left the altar yet, so it must be under some kind of restriction. Now is the best time to eliminate the enemy.
If we continue to wait, if its restrictions disappear, we will be in danger!"
At this time, Princess Starlight had already figured out the situation everyone was facing. She mustered up her courage and began to persuade everyone to temporarily give up preserving their strength and go all out to eliminate the altar and the sacrifice.
She wasn't sure what the pillar of fire was, but she was sure of one thing: if everyone did nothing, the situation would only continue to deteriorate.
"The entire Glorious Secret Realm has now shrunk to the size of this city. We are not sure whether the sky outside will continue to shrink. We cannot escape at all. We must eliminate the enemy here."
Listening to Princess Starlight's words, many people couldn't help but frown, but they had to admit that she was right.
Indeed, if the secret sky continued to shrink, where could they escape to?
Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to fight to the death and destroy the sacrifice and the monster on the altar can the survival rate of everyone be guaranteed.
"I agree with your Highness the Princess."
At this time, Avis, who remained in the crowd and acted as his clone, suddenly spoke. At the same time, in order to show his support, a magic scroll with a clear ninth-level aura appeared in his hand.
"I agree."
"I agree."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everyone looked at Anvis with some surprise at his proactive statement. While they were secretly wondering whether this was some kind of signal, they also expressed their agreement with the princess's opinion.
Many people still have trump cards, but they just didn't want to show them before.
"Okay, let's continue attacking. Even if it can still dodge in the same strange way it did just now, it's impossible for it to not suffer any damage."
With everyone's support, Princess Starlight smiled at Anvis in gratitude, and then immediately gave the order to attack.
According to the arrangement of the third princess, many powerful ninth-level attacks instantly rushed towards the altar.
Since they were indoors, everyone used single-target attacks, but their power was quite amazing.
Faced with this wave of terrorist attacks, the priest showed no reaction as if he hadn't noticed it.
But at the core of the altar, the surface of the dark green flame column suddenly surged automatically.
It was the same indifferent gaze as before, and the column of flames suddenly began to expand like a balloon, instantly forming an expanding sea of fire.
And this time, the dark green sea of fire did not dodge the attack, but completely submerged all the incoming attacks. Strangely, those powerful attacks with the power of rules disappeared without even a splash after entering the sea of fire.
Faced with the terrifying sea of fire, everyone's faces changed drastically. The power of the fire could silently destroy even the ninth-level attack. They dared not let that thing touch them.
But the space of the entire seven-story tower is so small that there is no place to hide.
When the two descendants of the nobility could not help but want to retreat back to the sixth floor, they were horrified to find that the passage leading to the sixth floor behind them had completely disappeared at some point.
"Where's the passage?!"
Princess Xingguang also noticed this anomaly, and her expression turned cold. She remembered clearly that there were special people guarding the passage before. Even though there was no change just now. And now, in just a moment, the passage has been blocked.
But it was too late to find a passage now. The fire was spreading at an alarming speed and was already approaching everyone.
In mid-air, Avis wanted to take Alanis away immediately, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
These flames had absolutely no temperature or killing power, let alone the ability to annihilate so many previous attacks.
Hallucination? "Blasphemer, the Lord wants to see you."
At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly exploded in Avis' ears.
Sorry, the pigeons have been a bit stressed out lately.
There is already a unit in the same building in the community where all residents have been taken away for quarantine. Who knows, it might be Pigeon's turn someday.
