Chapter 560 Bait! (Two in One!)
"Adela-san, Lachi-san, wait a minute!"
At this time, those impatient adventurers also disappeared at the end of the passages in the palace, and only a few people remained where they were.
This includes people like Lolita and Daville.
Although Gervis and the others didn't understand what was going on, they stayed where they were.
At this time, Davill finally had time to talk to them, and reminded them with a smile.
"OK!"
They didn't ask why. Seeing that these top families were not in a hurry to grab the treasures, Gervis and the others realized that the situation was a little strange.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Sure enough, not long after, a lot of shrill screams were heard from the several passages of the palace ahead. It was obvious that the adventurers were in some danger.
As the screams became more and more frequent and came from far away, Gervis and the others finally saw what was going on.
All the adventurers who were rushing into the various passages retreated in panic.
Behind them, there were actually a large number of skeleton soldiers chasing them. The number of skeleton soldiers was so large that they were like a tide.
Although most of them are gray, the lowest level skeleton soldiers, there are also green and red, higher-level skeleton soldiers.
The equipment of these skeleton soldiers is much better than those that Bigvis and his men encountered last time. Their armors are shining, and the swords in their hands are also shining coldly.
Davill and the others had obviously anticipated this, and they all smiled at each other when they saw this scene.
As for Lachi and others who were not aware of the situation in advance, they were still frightened. Fortunately, Xin did not rush in, otherwise he would have become the bait of Daville and the others.
But this is no one's fault. Everyone is fighting for the treasures in the palace. If there is profit, there must be risk. No one will be responsible for anyone else's life.
"Okay, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities later. Miss Lolita, Adela, and Lachi, I wish you good luck!"
At this time, the astonishing number of skeleton soldiers had chased the adventurers to the square in front of the palace. Davil said something to everyone and started rushing forward with his men.
Gervis and others looked at each other and immediately started to move.
It was obvious that the skeleton soldiers in the passage had been lured out. As long as they broke through the skeleton soldiers in the square, they could directly enter the passage and go to various places in the palace.
"Everyone, try not to separate for a while!"
Adela raised her staff and shouted to someone, saying that her light magic was most effective against dark creatures.
Soon, they rushed to the center of the square, found an empty passage and started their advance!
"Purify the Holy Light!"
"Fireball!"
Led by Laci, the guards in front kept clearing the way with shields and swords.
Meanwhile, Gervis and his companions in the back kept casting spells to open up breakthroughs, especially Adela's Holy Light, which could kill several skeleton soldiers every time.
With the tacit cooperation of several people, they quickly advanced to the normal distance.
There were more than two hundred adventurers in the hall at this time, and these skeleton soldiers had no rules at all. They would rush forward and attack if they found a living person nearby.
So the skeleton soldiers that everyone faced were almost the same.
As Gervis and his men exerted their strength, especially with the powerful weapon Adela, their progress was the fastest, half a minute faster than Davil and his men, and the gap on their side was slowly getting bigger, and they were about to open up a passage to the rear.
It was at this moment that Deville, who was not far away from Gervis and his companions, had a flickering look in his eyes. Seeing that Gervis and his companions were about to rush in first because of Adela's presence, he felt endless jealousy in his heart.
Originally, Laci and others needed to follow them and drink the soup. Of course, it is possible that they would not even get to drink the soup.
But now, not only have they become the first group to enter the palace, but they are also very likely to enter the interior of the palace. How can Deweir feel at ease?
So Deweir took the opportunity to kill the skeleton soldier in front of him, then quickly pulled over one of his guards and whispered a few instructions in his ear.
After hearing what Deville said, the guard immediately turned his head to look in the direction of Gervis and nodded at Deville.
Then the guard began to fight and retreat, luring dozens of skeleton soldiers in front of him to attack Gervis and the others.
"Don't come over here, if you dare to lead me here I will kill you immediately!"
When the guard came to about ten meters behind Gervis and the others, Gervis, who had extremely sharp five senses, immediately noticed the guard's unusual behavior.
Random Gervis yelled at the guard, not realizing that the guard did it on purpose.
But after hearing Gervis' warning, the guard not only did not change direction, but instead quickened his pace and ran past Gervis.
"Grass!"
Gervis cursed softly and instantly knew that the person who came was not a good person and was doing it on purpose.
"Fireball!"
Gervis never hesitated to deal with those who dared to betray him. He fired three large fireballs at the guard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"ah!"
Although the guard had been on guard against Gervis' attack on him, he unfortunately underestimated Gervis's casting speed.
After he dodged the first fireball from GervisGervis, the second and third fireballs came in an instant and hit him hard in the face. The guard with the cultivation of a golden knight screamed instantly and fell to the ground, wrapped in fireballs.
However, although the guard was killed by Gervis, the dozens of skeletons rushed directly towards Gervis and others after losing their target.
"Laki, speed up, there are skeletons surrounding us from behind!"
Gervis immediately took a few steps forward, drank the magic recovery potion that Adela had given him in the morning, and then began to release fireballs at the skeleton soldiers.
He released fireballs at a low frequency and only attacked the skeleton soldiers at the front, because what he needed to do now was to delay time and give Laci and others time to break through the skeleton soldiers.
"Guardian of Light!"
At this time, Adela took the time to look back and saw the situation at the rear. Seeing that Gervis was facing dozens of skeleton soldiers alone, she was a little worried about him, so she cast a protective magic on Gervis.
Although this light protection is not a protective shield, it can slow down the attack speed of the skeleton soldiers two meters in front of Gervis, allowing Gervis to have enough reaction time when encountering danger.
Gervis gave Adela a look of gratitude, and then began to deal with the skeleton soldiers behind him.
Time passed minute by minute, and as everyone fought hard, they gradually broke through forward and finally made a breakthrough in the torrent of skeletons.
"Quick! The passage is open, you go in!"
The moment the breakthrough was opened, Lachi and his men in front quickly suppressed the skeleton soldiers on both sides, waiting for magicians such as Adela and Gervis to pass through.
"Master Harry, the passage is open, come quickly!"
Adela and her companions quickly entered the passage, and then shouted at Gervis who was still blocking the skeleton soldiers at the last moment.
When Gervis heard the shout, he turned around and saw that Adela and the others had entered the passage, so he immediately turned around and headed towards the passage. Lachi and his men were too few in number and would definitely not be able to suppress the skeleton soldiers on both sides for too long.
"careful!"
But not long after Gervis turned around, he suddenly heard a whistling sound in his ear. When Gervis turned his head, he saw a red fireball the size of a fist shooting towards him.
boom!
"ah!"
The target of this fireball was not Gervis, but a guard in front of him who was suppressing the skeleton soldiers.
The guard was caught off guard and hit directly on the back by the fireball. He let out a scream and fell to the ground.
As he fell to the ground, the suppression of the skeleton soldiers on both sides by Lachi and his men completely collapsed. The skeleton soldiers surrounded him in an instant and blocked the gap from closing.
At this time, Gervis had no way to go forward and was surrounded by pursuers behind him.
"Harry!"
"Master Harry!"
Laci, Adela and others' faces changed instantly, but dense swarms of skeleton soldiers had blocked their way, and they couldn't see Gervis' situation clearly, let alone rescue Gervis.
"Master, there are still a few skeletons in the passage. We must leave immediately!"
Lachi, Adela and the others wanted to repel the skeleton soldiers and open a gap, but at this time there were still many skeleton soldiers rushing in. If they took too long, they would also be trapped in the narrow passage.
Several guards were struggling to fight off the skeletons in front and behind, while reminding Laqi.
"Let's go!"
Lach saw that Gervis had been completely submerged in the pile of skeletons, and that a lot of dark creatures had indeed poured into the passage. He could only roar and rush into the passage with the remaining few people.
Adela also took a deep look at the direction where Gervis was submerged, gritted her teeth, and finally caught up with Laci and others.
…
"Damn it, Deville, you bastard, you better not let me run into you later!"
Just looking in the direction where the fireball came from, Gervis vaguely saw a familiar apprentice magician, who was the three magicians under Deville.
Gervis was almost certain that it was that bastard Deville who sent people to plot against him and his group, which made him extremely angry.
At this time, there were hundreds of skeleton soldiers surrounding Gervis, all of whom were charging towards him fearlessly.
If Adela hadn't released a Holy Light Guardian for her, slowing down the attack speed of the nearby skeleton soldiers, he would have been in danger.
At this moment, Gervis didn't care about much else. He immediately pulled out the Crimson Moon from his robe and started chopping hard in the pile of skeletons.
He swept the sword across the area, quickly killing several skeleton soldiers that were close to him. Then, he leaped directly onto the top of the skeleton soldiers' heads and observed the surrounding situation.
When he took in the surrounding situation, Gervis was shocked for a moment, and began to think of countermeasures quickly in his mind.
At this time, several teams in the hall had already broken into the passage, and the few remaining people were almost surrounded by the skeleton army, and the situation was precarious.
Because as most people quickly entered the passage, many of the skeleton soldiers in the square lost their original targets, and finally these skeletons surrounded the few remaining people.
If they delay any longer, they will face more and more skeleton soldiers, and they will not be able to kill them all even if they kill them to exhaustion.
At this time, the closest passage to Rigvis was the one that Lachi and his men entered, but it was blocked by a large number of skeletons. If one person rushed through, he would only die.
"You can only go to the right!"
Gervis gritted his teeth and made a decision. When he was observing just now, he found that there was a small passage a little further to the right. Although he didn't know where it led to, the number of skeleton soldiers there was the least.
Now that he had a target, Gervis simply let go, instantly releasing all his fighting spirit, and began to fight hard.
If he doesn't use his fighting spirit at this moment, he will be in danger when the effect of the Holy Light Protection disappears.
At this moment, no one in the square had the extra energy to pay attention to him. Those who could leave had left. Those who stayed here to fight the skeleton soldiers were all surrounded and abandoned by their teammates, unable to break out. If they did not have incredible luck, there was a greater possibility that they would end up being drowned in the pile of skeletons.
"kill!"
Crash!
Crash!
As Gervis's fighting spirit was activated, he fiercely slashed out with the Crimson Moon in his hand, and instantly the sound of skeletons falling apart was heard in the field.
"Hey! The Crimson Moon actually has an extraordinary killing effect on these skeleton soldiers!"
After he had used all his strength to fight, Gervis couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Because every time his Crimson Moon was slashed out, any skeleton soldier that was slashed, regardless of whether it was hit on the head by Gervis, would be turned into broken bones in the first place and spread out.
The soul fire in their minds was extinguished instantly.
Gervis remembered that when Lach and his men killed the skeleton soldiers, they had to smash their heads in order to completely destroy them.
Otherwise, even if the lower body of the skeleton soldiers has been broken up, their heads can still move and their mouths can still bite people.
But now, even if Gervis only cut off the fingers of the skeleton soldiers, he could destroy them immediately and directly extinguish the soul fire in their heads, which made Gervis very surprised.
Gervis didn't know that this Crimson Moon was prepared by Nahum for his Death Knight.
The Death Knight's enemies include not only humans but also other dark creatures.
Therefore, the Crimson Moon naturally takes into account the restraint of dark creatures.
Moreover, this Crimson Moon was forged using the fangs of a giant dragon and nurtured with the blood of a giant dragon for hundreds of years, which gave it an extraordinary restraining effect on dark creatures.
Not to mention these low-level skeleton soldiers, even higher-level dark creatures can be restrained by the Crimson Moon.
As for the actual effect, of course it depends on the user's own strength.
For example, when Gervis didn't use his fighting spirit just now, the effect of the Crimson Moon was not so strong, but when Gervis added his fighting spirit, it became the scythe of the god of death to the skeleton soldiers, a ruthless harvesting weapon.
