Chapter 474: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
In the Endless Sea, in the city of R'lyeh, the nearby sea area was pitch black and silent, and somewhat inexplicably eerie.
Cthulhu woke up from his sleep and felt that Fitz's soul lamp had gone out.
Fitz was the most powerful assassin under his command, and he had never failed in assassinating sixth-level supernatural beings. But now, the opponent died while knowing that Dagon, Hydra and others were all dead. The enemy was much stronger than he expected.
"An enemy of the Holy Spirit level? Interesting! He has not appeared for an era, and ignorant humans have forgotten the horror of being shrouded by the shadow of death."
The tentacles on Cthulhu's face twisted wildly like poisonous snakes, and its eyes emitted a scarlet light. The murals in the temple were distorted by an unknown force, as if they had come alive.
Stifling its anger, it summoned two servants into the temple.
Ten sturdy deep divers strode into the temple and prostrated themselves respectfully before it.
"Great Cthulhu, you are the death knell of all things, the withering world."
"That's enough," Cthulhu interrupted his subordinates' praises impatiently and said sternly:
"I grant you an opportunity to achieve the status of a Holy Spirit. Open your body and mind and welcome a new life!"
Fitz's death completely ignited its anger. It had always been the one that brought death to other creatures, and had never been provoked like this! Therefore, it decided to use its own blood essence and secret method to create a Saint-level warrior to go to the place where Fitz fell and kill all the creatures on its behalf.
The Holy Spirit rank involves the comprehension of the power of laws and the ignition of one's own divine fire. The secret method of creating the Holy Spirit rank is just a trick, which is equivalent to carrying its own power on these subordinates, allowing them to briefly possess the combat power of the god level by overdrawing their vitality.
The secret technique also has a certain impact on itself, causing weakness for a certain period of time, and the success rate is very low. Even if it succeeds, these "Holy Spirit Level" will not survive for more than a month, and their lives will bloom within this month.
The spiritual concentration of the world is not high enough now to support evil gods like Cthulhu to operate outside for a long time. It can only sleep most of the time and only wake up completely on the night of the red moon.
The successive deaths of its subordinates violated its dignity, so it decided to use the secret method of self-harm to create several followers at the Holy Spirit level to take revenge.
In addition, even if revenge cannot be accomplished, the clan can still pass information back, allowing it to understand the enemy.
Cthulhu chanted a difficult spell in a strange accent, and a ball of black liquid spurted out from the end of one of its tentacles. This was its holy blood.
The light in the temple suddenly dimmed, and the blood of the Holy Spirit was evenly divided into ten parts, floating in front of the divers and then sinking into their brows.
Roars were heard, and the bodies of these deep divers twisted. Many bulges in their muscles kept flashing, and the scene was like there were many rats under the sheets.
The voice was shrill, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.
One of the divers expanded like a balloon that had been blown up. Its size grew larger and larger, and finally with a "bang", it shattered into pieces on the ground.
The shattered flesh and blood did not lose its activity immediately, but gathered towards the center, as if it had gained consciousness.
As if receiving some kind of signal, deep divers continued to expand and explode, and the "bang, bang" sounds echoed in the empty temple.
Ten minutes later, Cthulhu looked gloomily at the bloody and fleshy debris on the ground and stomped his foot heavily.
None of the ten high-level divers succeeded and all died.
The reason why the flesh and blood underground is still active is all thanks to the blood of the Holy Spirit.
It stretched out its hand, and black blood gathered in its palm, and in terms of volume, it was only a quarter of the original amount.
As the Holy Spirit's blood separated, the flesh and bones that were originally twisting completely lost their activity, and the water in them was lost rapidly.
In just a few breaths, the flesh and blood on the ground turned into stone that had been eroded by wind and rain for many years.
Cthulhu summoned ten more Deep Divers and cast the same secret spell. Three days later, two deformed Deep Divers with black tentacles all over their bodies stood in front of Cthulhu. They felt the surging power in their bodies, their eyes full of fanaticism.
Dagon, Hydra, and so many other extraordinary creatures that surpassed them did not receive the favor of the gods, but they became the biggest winners. The wonderful feeling is indescribable.
Compared to their joy, Cthulhu was in a somewhat depressed mood.
A large amount of Holy Spirit blood was spent, and nearly two thousand high-level Deep Divers and Hydras participated in it, but it only succeeded twice, which made it very dissatisfied.
The Holy Spirit's blood was consumed too much, and Cthulhu felt a strong sense of fatigue rising. Knowing that he could fall asleep at any time, he began to assign tasks to the two Holy Spirits he had created: "Follow the river that flows into the sea in the Kingdom of Sintland, find the breath left by Fitz, and then follow this breath into the continent.
Find the place where Fitz and the others fell, and kill everything there!"
The sinister voice echoed in the temple, and the two deformed Deep Ones bowed together: "We are the sharp blades in the hands of our Lord, and your will is our mission."
The rose-gold wings sparkled in the gray fog, like a golden arrow, piercing the dead silence.
Not long after, the red sun jumped out of the horizon and the gray fog slowly dissipated.
When the gray fog cleared, Crown slowly reduced his flying speed, released his extraordinary vision and looked into the distance. He saw several rough buildings rising from the charred ruins dozens of kilometers away.
The continuous autumn rain stopped, and groups of fire zombies and evil orcs moved through it.
There, are the ruins of the city of Bly.
He began to fly at a low altitude, making a large circle around the ruins and observing everything inside.
Perhaps because of the long distance, he did not find the target.
Instead of moving closer, Crown moved away from the ruins, with the wings behind him flapping rapidly.
The flying magic is not far from being advanced, and he can reach the next level by working hard for a few more days.
With more advanced flying magic, his speed will be increased to a higher level, and he will be able to attack or defend.
Two days later, Crown, who was sprinting through the sky at lightning speed, felt a faint sense of joy rising in his heart, so he landed in a scorched woodland.
He summoned a golden wall, his eyes flashing with golden and purple light.
[Flying Magic: Extreme] (Special Effect 1: Wind Speed; consumes spirit power, and the flying speed increases by 100%.
Special Effect 2: Wings of Wind (Passive); Base speed increased by 50%, stacked with other speed-increasing skills.
Special Effect 3: Wind Dance (Passive); The object you control gains a 50% speed bonus.) [Golden Light Curse: 872346/1000000; Level 6]
Crown's eyebrows slightly raised, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.
The increase in flying speed was expected, but the ability to stack other abilities with the Wind Wings was a pleasant surprise.
The basic speed increased by 50%. Considering his current physical condition, this is a huge improvement in combat effectiveness.
Speed is not just the speed of movement, it also includes the speed of nerve reaction, so that you can respond to enemy attacks more quickly.
The third special effect of the flying magic reminded him of an ability he had hardly used before - the metal manipulation ability of the Fire Cube.
Now that the Fire Cube has reached the sixth level, the metal it has swallowed contains more magic-breaking power.
Another very important point is that the consumption of the Fire Cube belongs to the Spirit Master, which is equivalent to his extra combat power.
As Crown's mind turned, half-moon-shaped metal sheets flew out of his body and quickly covered his body within a radius of 100 meters.
The metal sheets are alloys composed of metal essences. They look thin, but in fact their toughness and sharpness have reached a peak that is difficult to reach with current smelting technology.
The metal pieces in the sky were spinning rapidly, the whistling sound of the wind rushed straight into the sky, and the sharp murderous intent spread in this space.
"Good, it's just right for testing the strength of skills in actual combat."
He laughed loudly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra to adjust his state.
At noon, Crown opened his eyes and flew towards the ruins of Bly City in the bright sun.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
His condition has reached its peak. The spiritual power of the time hourglass and the fire cube is full, and a large amount of sun and moon essence is on standby to replenish the consumption.
His strategic goal is not only to fight the evil god whose face resembles the God of Fire, but also to destroy the stronghold of this evil force. Killing as many low-level evil creatures as possible can also reduce the threats faced by other parishes.
In the sky as pure as sapphire, a golden afterimage was moving across the sky. It was not until he flew far away that the vibration of sound was heard.
During the flight, he began to stack defensive skills on himself, including Golden Light Body Protection, Heart Purification Mantra, Alloy Armor, and Source Armor (the Taiyin attribute 'armor' of the Silver Dragon Breathing Method). In the ruins of Bligh City, Hasut suddenly opened his eyes, and he felt a powerful threat approaching rapidly.
He immediately stood up, and his bloated body flashed outside in a few flashes. His blood-red eyes, which covered his body, suddenly shrank.
I saw golden spears of law cutting through the sky with the force of thunder, and were about to fall on several furnaces of flesh and blood.
Just as he was about to use his skills to rescue, he saw his vision filled with blazing gold, and stones and limbs flying all over the sky.
The stones were burned red, just like the color of flowing magma. The remaining limbs became charred during the flight and finally turned into black powder and fell to the ground.
There was ecstasy in Crown's eyes. He hadn't expected that Spear of the Sun would also benefit from Wind Dance.
In this way, it is also difficult for enemies at the god level to dodge his attacks. He can stand at a distance and directly use the Spear of the Sun to accurately strike the enemy.
He lowered his flying altitude, and the Fire Cube released metal blades. He was like a tornado, mercilessly wreaking havoc among the Fire Zombies and Evil Beastmen.
Suddenly, there was blood and rain.
The evil orc didn't even have time to self-destruct before he was cut into pieces. Threads of warm current flowed into his body from the void, and Klauen became even more motivated! Hasut roared, and he hurriedly released an attack to delay the enemy's attack, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and there was no fixed route at all. The explosive fireball exploded in vain behind the opponent, raising dust.
Seeing that the enemy's attack could not hit him, Clown laughed wildly:
“That’s it?!”
He had not come here for a long time because he was afraid that the enemy was too strong and he would not be able to deal with it, which would likely bring disaster to the city of Shattrath. But now, his worries were gone.
It would be difficult for the enemy to attack him, at least that's what it seems for now.
Hasut was extremely angry that his hard work had been trampled upon, and he was even more furious that he failed to hit the enemy despite launching attacks many times. At this moment, he did not care about accidentally hurting his subordinates and directly launched a large-scale attack.
Above the ruins of Bligh City, dark red clouds of fire suddenly appeared in the azure blue sky, and then, dark red fireballs covering the sky, with long flames, fell like dense raindrops.
Crown retracted the thin metal blades hovering around his body into the Fire Cube and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, he was at the center of the attack, which covered a radius of more than ten kilometers and could not be avoided normally.
Fortunately, he was abnormal enough to release a void rift when the attack was about to hit him and jump into the time wormhole.
After entering the wormhole, he immediately discovered something unusual. He saw sporadic black and red fireballs falling in the wormhole, which had always been dark and without light.
Crown immediately felt the evil law of pollution begin to spread. Judging from the intensity of the explosion, the enemy's understanding of the power of the laws under his control was superior to his.
The laws controlled by the enemy are so powerful that they can interfere with the operation of time.
Klauen put away the contempt that had just risen in his heart. The moment he came out of the void rift, he released the time spring, reducing the falling speed of the enemy's attack. Then he adjusted the acceleration function of the bullet time to the maximum, and in the saturation attack, he was like a flying butterfly teasing among the flowers.
The fireball fell to the ground, leaving behind deep pits emitting fel flames.
Seeing that the enemy was calmly dodging his attacks, while his subordinates were being killed in large numbers, Hasut became even more furious and attacked even more fiercely.
This time, he changed his strategy and no longer released flashy large-scale attack skills. Instead, he approached the opponent and prepared to release a more powerful single attack at close range.
Seeing the enemy approaching, Crown laughed even more wildly, and then flew into the sky.
What the enemy didn't notice was that an inconspicuous black ball fell from his body and rolled to a place where there was no evil flame.
When Hasut saw the enemy fleeing after causing great destruction, his rage became even more uncontrollable. He immediately released the power of the law and began to pursue them relentlessly.
I saw several things similar to rocket thrusters growing out of the soles of his feet, which quickly closed the distance between him and his opponent. Then he continued to release spears of fire, trying to slow down the enemy's flying speed.
Clown understood the enemy's plan, and he immediately released Wind Walk, instantly doubling his speed and increasing the distance between him and the enemy again.
Two god-level creatures, one chasing and one fleeing, soon disappeared into the sky.
The black ball that Klauen threw down began to change, and finally turned into a large metal golem. Countless metal blades began to rotate around the golem.
The Fire Cube was secretly left behind, with the purpose of killing as many low-level fire zombies and evil orcs as possible.
Without the bonus of Klauen's Wind Dance special effect, the flying speed of the metal blade was much slower, but the remaining enemies were also weak and could not be contended with by him at all.
Half an hour later, Hasut returned to the city of Bligh in disappointment. The enemy was too fast and he could not catch up.
When he saw the devastation, he roared again. (End of this chapter)
