"I saw it without you reminding me! Damn it! Why are there so many monsters here, and each one is more difficult to deal with than the other."
"Especially the golems. Each one is so tough. If I hadn't been able to cast a spell to push them off the treetop platform, they would have been exhausted to death by now."
"Be content. At least we haven't seen any dragons so far."
"Shut up now. Ever since you entered Sodanisla, everything you say has happened. First there were demons, then there were beast demons, and then there were golems and yugoloths."
…
With the habitual quarrels, fights and complaints, Sancho and his companions quickly dealt with the dozen or so demons that pounced on them, as well as more than a hundred undead creatures that they had pulled up using their spell-like abilities.
Due to the sharp decline in the number of Sons of Bhaal throughout the continent of Faerun, almost every one of the remaining ones has gained power close to or even beyond the legendary level.
People like the Five Races are on the vague line between mortals and gods, and they may cross over to become demigods at any time.
So Sancho, Aberdare, and Imoen have all become extremely terrible.
Especially after transforming into the killer form, not only can he maintain his consciousness, but he can also easily tear into pieces alien monsters such as the Berserker and the Charmed Demon, which are almost invincible to most adventurers.
Even the evil beast ghosts, which are considered very difficult to deal with by many spellcasters and have amazing magic immunity and resistance, will be beheaded after only a few rounds in front of them.
After all, the killer himself is equivalent to the incarnation of God.
Although the killer form of the Son of Bhaal is certainly not as good as the God of Murder himself, he is still a legendary and divine creature, and is definitely not comparable to ordinary demons or other creatures.
Among them, Aberdare, who was given special care, is now like a little Baal, surrounded by the aura of evil, blood, violence and death.
It goes without saying that Baal had injected a large amount of divine power and divinity into his body before, so that this offspring who was most easily controlled by him could kill Erinikas, and then snatch the life energy extracted from the Tree of Life of the Elves, in preparation for his future resurrection.
Poor Erinikas had no idea that his success in seizing the power and divinity within Aberdair was actually part of the dead god of murder's plan.
Only in this way can Aberdare, controlled by Bal, legitimately invade Sodanisla.
In fact, if you think carefully about Aberdare's adventures along the way in the original plot, it is easy to see that there is more than one god behind it trying to interfere and guide it secretly.
Elminster, who appeared several times, represents the magic goddess Midnight;
The Shadow Thieves Guild is represented by Musk, the God of Thieves;
The cooperation between the Dark Elf City and Erinikas, as well as the subsequent series of conspiracies and betrayals, are likely influenced by the spider goddess Rose; the adoptive father Gorion may have been arranged by the god of knowledge Oghma;
The near destruction of Thordanisla may have been the result of a game between the elven gods and Baal;
There is also a strange prophecy about the Son of Baal given by the father of the shark-like fishmen in the underwater city.
Finally, when it came to the Battle of the Gods, Io, the God above all gods, couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent a Seraph to take charge of the matter, which was also a warning to the gods who tried to interfere.
This is probably why a crazy guy like Prince of Lies Cyric, after getting rid of the influence of the "Cyric Book" and regaining his sanity, did not make any big moves when he found someone tearing his throne apart. He just showed up, made some sarcastic remarks, and then left.
It can be said that the entire adventure journey of the Son of Bhaal in the original plot seems to be full of thrills and excitement, but in fact, behind the scenes, it may all be the result of the gods testing, fighting, and compromising with each other.
In other words, it is the game of gods.
Aberdare and his companions were like puppets in a stage play, poor creatures whose fate had already been determined.
But now, with Zuo Si's intervention and Sancho, the fish that has the ability to jump out of the water, everyone's fate has begun to gradually deviate from the original trajectory and develop in a completely unknown direction.
Just as the team members were advancing rapidly along the intricate roads of Sodanisla, a huge shadow suddenly passed across the sky.
The next second...
Viconia, who was most sensitive to changes in light, quickly raised her head and saw a scene that stunned her.
I saw a giant black dragon covered with ink-colored scales, nearly 35 meters in size, and with its wings spread out enough to almost cover the entire platform, flying over my head.
Ancient black dragon? Ancient black dragon?
The drow priest only felt that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were shaking uncontrollably, and the might of the dragon coming towards him made him want to turn around and run away immediately.
"Oh - damn it! Aberdare's bad mouth came true again! Erinikas actually found a powerful dragon to fight him."
Imoen nervously licked her lips with her tongue, and a row of dense beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
Although she has gained the ability to transform into a killer, she still feels fear when facing such a behemoth.
What’s even more terrible is that the black dragon seemed to have discovered this sudden intrusion team. After circling in the sky, it quickly turned around and began to dive downwards.
"Disperse! Disperse quickly!"
Sancho pushed Minsk, the idiot who was standing in the middle with his sword raised, wanting to complete the feat of slaying the dragon, and then quickly gave himself protection against energy damage (strong acid).
In comparison, the yellow-skinned mouse Bubu was much smarter. He jumped off Minsk's shoulder and hid in a cave in the treetop next to him.
To be precise, this hamster of unknown origin seems to have a really high intelligence. It can escape from the enemy's large-scale attacks in advance in almost every battle, which is really confusing and puzzling.
If possible, Sancho wanted to catch Bubu more than once for examination, at least to confirm his true race.
After all, he had heard his mentor tell a story about a despicable wizard who was proficient in the magic of transformation and turned into a pet mouse to hide in someone else's home for more than ten years to avoid being hunted down by his enemies.
From then on, the boy developed a strong wariness of all small animals that appeared to be too smart.
Unfortunately, Minsk doesn't allow anyone to touch Bubu.
For a while, Sancho even suspected that Minsk was being mind-controlled by the yellow rat using some kind of magic.
But at the moment, he obviously had no time to care about the hidden Bubu, but was concentrating on staring at the black dragon that was swooping down at a very fast speed.
When the opponent's height was reduced to a certain level, it suddenly opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and spit out a large amount of dark green strong acid solution that was twenty to thirty meters long.
Strong acid breath!
Black Dragon's signature skill.
It is also the third most powerful evil dragon, second only to the red dragon and the blue dragon, and slightly higher than the green dragon and the white dragon, but its breath is equally hard to guard against.
Because this strong acid is not like the red dragon's flame, the white dragon's frost, and the blue dragon's lightning. After being sprayed, it will completely disappear. Instead, it will remain in place in the form of a pool of liquid strong acid.
What’s even more terrible is that even if a little bit of it splashes and falls on human skin, it will immediately cause a very strong corrosive effect.
If it splashes on the face, it can basically be considered disfigured.
Unless some special magic is used for treatment, the person will have a hideous face that can scare children to tears.
However, Sancho did not choose to dodge. Instead, he relied on the protection from energy damage (strong acid) to withstand the acid falling from above his head. When the opponent flew to the lowest point, he transformed into a killer and flew directly into the air with a ring of transformation magic [Jumping].
Before Black Dragon could react to what was happening, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Looking down, he found that the boy had used the killer's claws, which were as sharp as magic weapons, to dig a hole in his relatively vulnerable abdomen, and the precious dragon blood was splattering everywhere like it was free.
"Asshole! How dare you harm the great Nezdramaniat!"
The black dragon instantly became furious and waved its front paws to try to get the troublesome little insect off its body, causing it to fall from a height of hundreds of meters and be smashed into a pulp.
Unfortunately, Sancho had obviously anticipated this, and leaped again from his blood-spattered belly to higher wings, completing the nine-ring magic [Time Stop] at an extremely fast speed.
moment!
Everything around me turned into still black and white.
"Now, let me first destroy your troublesome flying ability."
桑乔深吸了一口气,开始吟唱咒语释放自己目前为止掌握的最强大范围伤害性法术。
当这个魔法完成的刹那,整个天空中突然出现了一个巨大无比的壮观魔法阵。
紧跟着他便迅速加持飞行术开始迅速后撤。
等飞出去有几十米左右,黑白的静止状态便戛然而止,世界一下子又恢复到了色彩缤纷的原本模样。
而位于黑龙头顶那个巨大的魔法阵则直接化作由坚冰构成的巨大瀑布砸了下来。
末端一根根尖锐的冰锥就如同锋利的锥子,在清晨阳光的照射下折射出彩虹般五颜六色的光。
由于一切发生的太过突然,自称尼兹卓曼尼亚特的黑龙根本来不及做出任何反应,其中一边翅膀当场遭到重创,不仅骨头断了好几根,翼膜也被撕开一个恐怖的口子,身体跟着不受控制摔向下方的树冠平台。
轰!!!!!!
伴随着地动山摇的震颤和轰鸣声,他顿时发出了痛苦且愤怒的咆哮。
“啊啊啊啊!我要杀光你们!撕碎你们!把你们的尸体埋在沼泽里慢慢腐烂!”
“抱歉,你恐怕已经做不到这一点了。”
桑乔发出一阵冷笑,缓缓举起右手趁着对方刚才跌落时完成的九环【力场之鞭】,将其转化成为杀伤力最大的线形,对准黑龙另外一边的翅膀狠狠抽了一下去。
轰!!!!!!
只见一道无形的力场线从空气中划过,紧跟着尼兹卓曼尼亚特的另外一个翅膀也应声被切成两节。
不光是翅膀,就连下方的树冠平台连带支撑的生命之树树枝也当场断裂,就好像被一柄看不见的四十米大刀砍过一样骇人。
毫无疑问,这就是力场类法术最恐怖的地方。
不管是作为攻击还是防御,他们都能产生难以想象的巨大威力。
同时失去两个翅膀,黑龙自然是无法再飞行了,只能靠着四肢死死抓住断裂的树枝才没有跟树冠平台上那些房屋和建筑一起掉落下去。
可就在他刚刚爬到另外一个平台上的时候,突然看到眼前闪过一道红色的幽光。
杀戮者形态的阿伯戴尔直接纵身一跃跳上尼兹卓曼尼亚特的头顶,一只手紧紧抓着犄角、另外一只手抡起宛如锤子一样的拳头狠狠砸了下去。
嘭!嘭!嘭! 那恐怖的巨力冲击即便是黑龙也扛不住,立刻被打得头晕目眩失去平衡,整个脑袋重重砸向地面并出现了一个小坑。
不过这还不算完。
在阿伯戴尔进行压制的时候,爱蒙迅速化作一道残影,两只手迅速变化成为散发着刺骨寒意的利爪,直接插进桑乔刚才在胸口撕开的血洞,猛然间释放出堪比白龙和银龙吐息的冻气。
那刺骨的寒意与超低温顿时冻结了血管乃至隐藏在深处的心脏。
通过肉眼可以清晰的观察到,尼兹卓曼尼亚特在这一刻不管是动作还是反应都出现了短暂的停滞。
“为了战士的荣耀!!!!!”
开启狂暴的明斯克迈着一往无前的步伐冲了过来,举起手中那柄在幽暗地域获得的+5精金双手剑,对准黑龙的脖子便用尽全身力气砍了下去。
噗! 没有任何意外。
巨剑轻而易举便撕裂了鳞片,并在巨龙的后颈上留下一道足有十几公分深的口子。
喷涌而出的鲜血更是把明斯克直接染了个通红。
要知道这柄+5精金武器可是黑暗精灵最顶级的铁匠打造而成,里边蕴含了强大而又邪恶的魔法力量。
这也是为什么不管恶魔、夺心魔、眼魔、巨龙,还是幽暗地域的其他种族,都对卓尔有相当程度的畏惧。
他们的武器是真的能够伤害乃至杀死这些强大的怪物。
唯一的缺点就是,这类武器在阳光照射下会迅速衰弱,直至最终彻底变成一堆微小的金属颗粒。
不过明斯克手里的武器才离开幽暗地域不久,因此暂时还没有出现问题,用来杀龙这样拥有强大防御力的魔法生物简直是再好用不过了。
所以他在完成一击破防之后根本没有停下的意思,直接开启乱砍模式,像个变态杀人狂魔一样高速挥舞手中的巨剑,愣是凭借强化魔法和神术的加持,在短时间内砍断了尼兹卓曼尼亚特脖子上的一根大动脉。
“给我滚下去!”
黑龙终于意识到这个样子下去自己很可能会死,立刻翻滚想要把这些威胁到生命安全的敌人压死。
可遗憾的是,他显然忽略了队伍中另外一个阴险狡诈的神术施法者。
早已隐藏多时的维康尼亚毫不犹豫释放了九环神术【内爆术】。
轰! 遭到重创的尼兹卓曼尼亚特只感觉体内仿佛有什么东西突然炸裂开,紧跟着全身上下所有的伤口开始止不住的喷血,随后视线开始变得越来越模糊,最终砰的一声摔倒在地彻底失去反抗能力,任由明斯克以极其残暴的姿态把自己的头颅砍下来。
从现身到死亡短短几分钟,一条起码达到古龙年龄层的黑龙就这样被轻松斩杀。
这无疑体现了巴尔之子们在经历过一系列的杀戮和成长之后变得有多么强大。
作为从最开始一路跟随队伍走过来,亲眼目睹了三个年轻人不断成长的贾希拉,此刻内心之中可以说是相当的复杂。
一方面她惊讶于三个神之子居然已经不知不觉变得如此厉害,就连巨龙这种站在费伦大陆食物链顶点的生物都能轻松搞定;
另外一方面她又不由自主的担忧,总觉得这种远超常理的成长背后肯定隐藏了不为人知的巨大隐患。
“哈哈哈哈!快看!我们成功了!从今以后我们就可以称呼自己为光荣的屠龙者!”
明斯克站在被砍下来的硕大龙头上高举双手兴奋不已的欢呼。
头脑简单的他从来都是把喜怒哀乐都表现在脸上,根本不会隐藏心思,更不会去思考未来的事情。
所以如果说队伍中有谁每天过得最快乐、最享受这趟冒险,那一定非明斯克莫属。
“真是难以置信!我们竟然没费什么力气就杀掉了这么大的一条黑龙!”
爱蒙低下头看着自己被龙血染红的双手。
毕竟刚才看到尼兹卓曼尼亚特的时候,她还以为这会跟以前一样是场苦战呢。
可谁能想到一切居然结束的那么快。
“很简单,因为我们变强了。
另外对自己有点信心,不要忘记你可是觉醒了潜力的神之子。
更何况我们在幽暗地域杀死的夺心魔主脑、长老之眼,还有在黑暗精灵城市与数以千计的敌人血战,哪一个会比眼前的黑龙差。”
桑乔从天而降,语气中透露出一丝不以为意。
毕竟他刚才施展的两个伤害性法术,实际上都注入了神力,所以才能轻松穿透黑龙与生俱来的魔法抗性。
不然的话光是每次施法都要先过对方身上的法术抗力与伤害减免,根本不可能起到这种强力压制的效果。
同样的,爱蒙所释放的寒霜冻气也蕴含了微弱的神力,所以能够让尼兹卓曼尼亚特暂时失去行动能力。
反正这场战斗从一开始就是不公平的,相当于站在更高维度的神之子去碾压还是凡物的黑龙。
虽然纸面上的战斗力双方各有优劣,但真打起来就是另外一回事了。
这种情况在费伦很多战斗中都表现的格外明显。
爱蒙若有所思的点了点头:“好吧,你说的有道理。与艾瑞尼卡斯那种强大的法师相比,区区一条黑龙似乎也没什么大不了的。”
“我有预感!咱们未来的冒险旅途中,肯定还会遇到更多像巨龙这样的生物。”
阿伯戴尔不知何时已经变回人类形态,盯着眼前宛如小山一样硕大的尸体微微感慨道。
“不,你错了。
我们接下来将要面对的敌人还要比这强大的多,甚至有可能是真正的半神。
如果你不能理解这一点,待会儿见到艾瑞尼卡斯就会明白了。
与此类的敌人战斗,很多常识性的东西会被颠覆。
到时候咱们三个包括我在内,唯一可以相信的就只有自己。
走吧,是时候去打断艾瑞尼卡斯汲取生命之树的能量了。
不然的话要是被他吸收了太多真的成了神,你再想要夺回属于自己的命运就来不及了。”
说罢,桑乔带头穿过一片盛开着鲜艳花朵的藤蔓吊桥,径直朝着远处最显眼的宫殿走去。
毕竟此时此刻的索丹尼斯拉已经基本没什么活人了,更没有需要帮助和解救的民众。
就连之前艾瑞尼卡斯设下的用来拖延时间的魔法迷锁,也被左思路过的时候统统拆除。
这也就意味着通往宫殿入口的道路已经打通,根本不需要去其他地方浪费时间。
At the same time, the magic ritual at the core of the Tree of Life has now entered its most critical moment.
Relying on the huge life energy from inside the tree trunk, Erinikas has successfully ignited the spark of divinity and become a quasi-god, exuding the majesty unique to gods from head to toe.
This is a force that is more shocking than any dragon's might or magical gaze.
Mortals usually can't even last a second in front of it before they kneel on the ground and worship it.
Of course, this does not apply to those very few people who have strong will and devout faith.
Normally, the deification ceremony can be stopped at this stage.
The next thing to do is to maintain this semi-material, semi-spiritual form, to inspire believers outside to establish a church, and to lay a solid foundation for his gradual transition to a demigod.
But unfortunately, Erinikas was now like a possessed man and refused to stop moving forward, wanting to reach the sky in one step.
Moreover, in the intervals of absorbing energy, he loudly questioned the elven gods living in Avandor like a lunatic.
There is no doubt that this guy has gone completely crazy due to long-term inner repression and distortion, even though he has already stepped half a foot into the realm of God.
“Why should I be stripped of my elven bloodline and identity?
Why did you exile me?
Is it because I researched some forbidden magical powers?
How narrow-minded and ridiculous this is!
It is because of your restrictions that the Elf Kingdom in the Wildas Forest has continued to decline for thousands of years.
Just wait and see!
Draining the energy of the Tree of Life is just the beginning! I want to prove to the entire Arvandor that all your doctrines are wrong, and my choice is the right one..."
Erinikas looked up at the sky, with green light symbolizing life shining in his eyes. He seemed to have passed through the numerous obstacles of planes and crystal walls and saw the final destination of all elven souls - Avandor, and the elven gods living there.
It was not difficult to tell from his tone and the expression on his face that he was so angry now that he completely ignored everything around him.
The Tree of Life also became withered and dead under the long-term extraction, and a large number of leaves continued to fall from the top like snowflakes, forming an extremely spectacular and beautiful scene.
But unfortunately, the Elf Queen no longer had the opportunity to fully appreciate this scene.
Because her body had fallen into deep paralysis and coma as the Tree of Life withered, only her soul and consciousness had left the body and remained conscious, and her eyes could only see black and white.
Watching Erinikas's reckless provocation of the elven gods, Ailixing, who maintained her silver translucent soul state, couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Alas - Jonarres has been completely swallowed by the darkness in his heart.
His fate is sealed and no one can change it.
I can't believe that I was once such a smart, wise, gentle and considerate person.
In the end, it turned out to be like this.
He is challenging a group of powerful beings that he cannot possibly defeat."
“I once heard a saying.
It only takes one bad day to turn even the most rational person into a lunatic.
Erinikas is probably the most authentic portrayal of this situation.
After all, no matter how strong a person is inside, his or her mental ability to withstand blows is limited.
Especially the attacks on vulnerable areas.
As his former lover, I think you should know best how much Erinikas subconsciously identifies with and values his elven ancestry and is proud of it.
It was this pride and honor in his race that caused him to slowly fall into madness after the most important thing was taken away from him.
Perhaps it was a mistake that you chose to punish with deprivation and exile.
What you really should do is kill him.
Because even in the face of death, Erinikas might not have such a huge and twisted hatred. "
Zuo Si bluntly pointed out that the tragedy before his eyes was caused by the Elf Queen herself.
Perhaps Alistar's original intention was good. She wanted to save her lover's life by depriving him of his race and exiling him, and then hoped that he could obtain the forgiveness of the elven gods through "atonement", and finally return to Sodanisla to resume their previous relationship.
But the problem is that she ignored whether the proud Erinikas was willing to accept such a shameful life.
Especially after the essence of the elves was taken away, Erinikas became completely insane. Like a madman, he wanted revenge and wanted to take back what he had lost, no matter how great the price.
"You mean... my original decision was wrong?!"
The soul of Elise stared with wide eyes, her face full of shock and disbelief.
Because before this, neither she nor the other elves of Sodanisla had thought about it in this regard.
Or even if someone thought of it, they would not dare to say it in front of her as the queen.
Zuo Si nodded decisively: "That's right. It was your wrong decision that led to all this.
It was you who made Erinikas what it is today.
His madness, his distortion, his obsession, without exception, all come from you.
Likewise, you also have an unshirkable responsibility for the destruction of Sodanisla and the tragic deaths of the elves at the hands of Erinikas."
As these words came out of her mouth, Alixing's beautiful face became filled with pain, despair and self-blame at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She covered her face tightly with her hands, and stared through her fingers at the crazy figure of Erinikas in the distance. Her entire soul began to become dimmer and dimmer, and finally completely dissipated into the air.
Obviously, under strong mental stimulation, the soul of the elf queen returned to her body and completely isolated herself from the outside world.
If nothing unexpected happens, her personality is now crying in the deepest corner of her heart.
And this is exactly what leftist thinking wants to achieve.
Because Alistar is a symbol, a symbol.
As long as she lives, the forest elves will always remember that they once had a kingdom of their own.
Only when she died or her reputation was ruined could the West Coast Empire completely swallow up those refugees and turn them into human resources that truly belonged to it.
Admiring the elf queen lying on the wooden pier, who looked like she was running out of energy, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible depth and evil, and he whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Dear Erinikas, in order to prevent you from being too lonely on the road, I will send your most beloved woman away with you. Although your souls may not go to the same place after death, we should still be able to see each other again."
"Hehehe...what is this? Sympathy?"
Accompanied by a teasing laugh, an elf woman with dark skin all over her body appeared out of thin air. She was the incarnation of the spider goddess Rose.
Zuo Si was very surprised by her appearance. He raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "How dare you come to Sodannisla! Aren't you afraid of being beaten by the elves of Afandor?"
"snort!
Those guys in Faerun only care about Evermeet, their base camp, and would not go to war for a mere declining elven kingdom.
What's more, why do you think Erinikas was able to suddenly acquire so much forbidden knowledge and create a divine creature that could draw power from the Tree of Life?
And why was it so easy to gain the support of the dark elves of Uster Nasa?"
Rose pursed her lips and a very sinister and vicious smile appeared.
"So you are also one of the driving forces behind this!"
Zuo Si instantly understood what the other party wanted to express.
After all, the Spider Goddess would not hesitate to do anything that could cause trouble for her "ex-husband", the elven god Corellon.
Rose nodded meaningfully: “Yes, that’s me.
In fact, I have contributed a lot to Erinikas becoming what it is now.
Including the ancient magic book he obtained by chance, and a series of so-called coincidences that followed.
You may not believe it when I tell you.
I knew Erinikas much earlier than you came into contact with him.
But Erinikas didn't know this.
Now that the fruit is finally ripe, of course I have to come and see the fun.
Although he can't really pose any threat to Afanduo, it's good to disgust those hypocritical guys."
Hearing this, Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly, and he murmured, "So the reason why Erinikas went crazy can be traced back to you? Are you the real mastermind behind all this?"
"You're surprised, aren't you?"
Rose smiled triumphantly.
She obviously enjoyed hiding in the dark and weaving lies, traps and betrayals, and then watching those geniuses who were once valued by the elven gods gradually fall into depravity and eventually become their mortal enemies.
“It’s a bit unexpected indeed.
I originally thought that this was a game between the late god of murder, Baal, and the elven gods.
I didn't expect you to get involved.
But unfortunately, this farce ended here.
Because the real protagonist is about to appear. "
As he spoke, Zuo Si turned his gaze towards the stairs leading to the upper palace not far away.
After about ten seconds, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar.
After a while, Aberdare, Sancho and others rushed out.
When everyone saw the leaves inside the Tree of Life falling like snowflakes, they were deeply shocked.
Upon seeing this, Rose immediately cast an invisibility spell to cover the surroundings, then frowned and asked, "How could they be so fast? Damn it! You must have given them a lot of extra help, right?"
"As a mentor, isn't it natural for me to give my apprentice a little insignificant help? You don't really think that the elven gods would personally take action for a guy like Erinikas?" Zuo Si retorted with a sneer.
"Asshole! You've messed up my plans again!"
Rose's face turned hostile in an instant, and she stared at the guy next to her who had been her enemy time and again with eyes full of malice and ferocity.
Zuo Si spread his hands innocently. "Please, I just found out a few seconds ago that you were the mastermind. Even if you want to find a scapegoat, you can't blame me. After all, you didn't inform me in advance."
While the two were talking, Sancho finally spotted Erinikas, who was covered in a layer of divine shield not far away.
But the latter also discovered them.
But Erinikas, who was already a quasi-god at this moment, ignored these defeated opponents. He just glanced at a few of them with contempt, and then continued to maintain his concentration in casting spells, speeding up the extraction of the little remaining energy from the Tree of Life.
As long as he drains the Tree of Life, he will surely be able to transcend the demigod level and become a weaker divine power.
When the time comes, we can deal with these sons of Baal however we want.
"Erinicas!!!!"
When Aberdare met his enemy again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pounced on him without saying a word and wanted to attack.
Unfortunately, when he got closer, he found that even if he transformed into a killer, he could not tear open the layer of divine shield with automatic repair function.
"Idiot! Don't waste your energy! I am a god now, and I am not comparable to you mortals." Erinikas sneered disdainfully.
"Sancho, what shall we do?"
Imoen tried to cast two spells and found that they didn't work, so he was obviously a little panicked.
"It's a bit strange. Because as far as I know, even the divine shield released by the demigod cannot completely resist the killer's attack. There must be some secrets hidden in it."
Sancho stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Just as he was looking around with the corner of his eye, he suddenly discovered a huge beetle-like creature hidden behind a thick branch.
Moreover, the insect's abdomen is bulging high, emitting a green light that symbolizes life.
moment!
The boy raised his head and looked up and down at the spherical divine shield, and immediately realized that the reason why Erinikas could maintain this thing must be that he drew power from the Tree of Life under his feet.
Without any hesitation.
He directly said to the other team members: "Follow me!"
The group quickly passed through the intricate branches and reached the insect.
Out of caution, Sancho first approached and repeatedly detected the state of the insect, but was immediately shocked by the amazing energy contained in it.
"Oh my god! So this is Erinikas's plan to become a god! This is really crazy!"
"What should we do now? Should we kill this giant bug?"
Aberdare asked in a not very sure tone.
"Of course!" Sancho answered without hesitation. "But how to break it is a problem. You have to understand that the energy inside is too strong. Once it is broken, it may cause a violent impact or even an explosion."
"No problem! Leave it to me! After I transform into a killer, I'll be so tough that I won't die."
Aberdare took on this dangerous task without hesitation.
After everyone retreated to a safe distance, he rushed forward and smashed hard into the insect's abdomen, which had accumulated huge energy.
BANG! BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The moment the killer's huge fist touched the insect's abdominal shell, a stream of liquid energy visible to the naked eye gushed out on the spot, directly engulfing the Son of Baal.
This crack made it impossible for the energy inside the insect to maintain a balance and function, and it exploded on the spot.
The astonishing power and shock wave almost blew everyone off.
Aberdare in killer form was like a tattered rag doll, flying sideways for more than a hundred meters, breaking all the branches along the way.
Fortunately, the life energy flowing into his body is constantly repairing his injuries.
So when his speed slowed down, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity in mid-air, and finally returned safely by jumping and hopping on the tree trunk.
After finding a way to break the divine shield, the team members immediately dispersed and searched for the insects among the huge trunk and branches of the Tree of Life.
Aberdare would personally deal with each one he found.
He had no idea that the energy that permeated the surrounding environment did not return to the Tree of Life, but was absorbed by him without a drop left.
Far away on a huge floating island in the star realm, the remaining soul of Baal was standing on his own remains, closing his eyes and continuously receiving the energy from the Tree of Life.
The originally pale and blurry figure began to become clearer and clearer.
When the last bit was consumed, he opened his eyes and sighed, "It really is the tree of life of the forest elves. It actually allowed me to regain a little bit of strength.
But this is far from enough!
Only by taking what's inside Erinikas can I gain the strength to carry out my next plan.
Especially that guy named Soth, he will definitely do everything he can to prevent my return.
Aberdare must not fall into his hands."
After that, the remaining soul of the God of Slaughter began to try to completely release the Blood Throne, intending to make the final battle of the Son of Baal even more bloody, violent, and cruel...
