Chapter 320 Breaking through the ruins
This feeling is a bit strange, a bit like a person who was originally naked suddenly put on clothes.
However, in his mental detection, his own existence suddenly disappeared. Whether it was the shape, temperature, or the faint mental ripples, they were all completely integrated with the air in the environment.
But if he observed with the naked eye, he could still see his own existence, which gave him a strange sense of disharmony.
Apart from the two items mentioned above, there are nothing special else. They are just some ordinary but valuable ancient gold coins, rare magic metals, gems, etc.
After sorting all the resources into different categories, Avis finally instructed Thor to clean the laboratory and remove any traces of the ritual array left on the ground.
Overall, the entire soul-splitting ceremony was completed much faster than he expected.
When he walked out of the laboratory, it was just afternoon outside.
Since there is no interference from the consciousness of the summoned creature itself, unlike the original companion summoning ritual, the soul splitting ritual theoretically has no strict requirements on the rank of the caster.
But in actual application, there is an implicit standard of soul strength.
If the difference in soul strength between the two parties is too great, the caster's soul will be unable to control the overly high-level soul of the summoned creature, causing the separated soul to collapse directly and become injured.
Normally, an ordinary third-level spellcaster can at most choose a summoned creature that is three levels higher than himself as a clone. If there are more, the probability of the soul seed collapsing will become very high.
However, the 'gifted' Anvis is naturally not among them.
Because of the contract with the Power Dragon, Avis relaxed some of his apparent strength, reaching the middle of the third stage.
This simulates the situation where the summoner's strength suddenly increases after contracting a summoned creature of a higher rank than his own.
"Brother! You finally came out! Have you heard? There are so many~so many~ scary dark creatures outside now!"
When he left the laboratory, Fiona, who had been waiting outside, hurried to find him.
As she spoke, the girl seemed to feel that she was not convincing enough, so she let go of Kate in her arms and tried to gesture with her little hands.
Since Fiona was in the safety of Pamir College, she was not well-informed until she learned about this from some students who had returned from outside the college.
The girl was shocked when she saw the scale of the beast tide outside through the projection crystal ball. She had never seen such a horrific beast tide before and couldn't help but worry about the situation of her family.
"Don't worry too much, Fei, we won't encounter any danger in Pamir College.
Besides, my father has told me before that our family is strong enough to protect the province of Carlas. We just need to stay in the academy and wait for the beast tide to pass."
With a warm smile on his face, Avis looked into the girl's slightly nervous lake blue eyes and soothed her in a gentle tone.
“Unlike the beasts on the surface, the dark creatures are not very adaptable to sunlight and are destined to not be able to live on the surface for a long time.
Therefore, the duration of this disaster will not exceed half a month at most—"
"Really? Then I feel relieved~"
After listening to Avis' analysis, Fiona's originally nervous mood relaxed again.
"Of course, dear Fei, so we just have to wait patiently."
Avis smiled and nodded, his tone calm, as if he didn't care at all about the terrifying dark beast tide outside.
However, after comforting Fiona, the hidden worry in his eyes was not noticed by the girl.
Just as he said, the characteristics of the dark creatures themselves determine that they are destined not to survive on the surface for too long.
That is why, when they are obstructed, their attacks often become particularly frenzied.
In addition, their minds have long been eroded by dark forces and have become violent and confused, so they attack with astonishing bloodthirstiness and fearlessness.
To survive this half month is probably not as easy as the Duke said.
The subsequent development of the situation was indeed just as Avis had expected.
In the next few days, millions of dark creatures were killed by high-level professionals and the super-giant defense array guarding the main city.
Due to the long-term failure to capture the meteorite ruins, the large group of dark creatures went completely crazy.
The surviving dark creatures began to devour each other, quickly improving their ranks, and then followed the ninth-order and ninth-ultimate dark creature leaders to launch a frantic general attack in the direction of the ruins.
These completely insane ninth-order extreme dark creatures have adopted an attack method that is completely life-for-life.
Perhaps the number of high-level professionals near the ruins was much greater than the number of dark creature leaders, but the defense line was still gradually showing signs of failure.
High-level professionals are the most life-conscious, and no one is really willing to fight with dark creatures of the same level just to protect the ruins.
Thus, after dragging on until the ninth day of the beast tide, the defense line of the ruins was finally completely breached.
A large number of dark creatures madly rushed into the ruins area, and were then killed instantly by various deadly traps.
Although we were ultimately unable to stop the beast tide from entering the ruins, there are pros and cons.
As the beast tide rushes into the ruins, many ancient buildings and magical structures will be destroyed, and much important knowledge will be destroyed.
But with the beast tide stepping on mines and providing cover in front, many ninth-level beasts were able to follow closely and enter the ruins to explore.
Soon, the entire ruins were thoroughly explored.
I don’t know whether I should be thankful or what, but there is no Eternal Core in this half of the ruins.
The ninth-order extreme dark creatures that first rushed into the depths of the ruins were nowhere to be found. In a terrifying hall where their traces had completely disappeared, some disturbing and huge suspicious traces could be found.
After sealing off the dark hall immediately, many ninth-level warriors began to digest their gains in the ruins.
In fact, although the Empire was the hardest hit by the invasion of the dark beast tide, the actual losses were far smaller than expected.
Due to the influx of a large number of foreign professionals, the empire was in turmoil. The royal family had to dispatch the Knights of Glory to various parts of the empire to maintain stability, and they came in handy at this time.
Many of the foreign professionals who poured into the empire were moved by the high rewards offered by the empire and joined in the action to resist the dark beast tide.
Among them, the players' performance was particularly outstanding.
A large number of low-level players who valued money more than their lives rushed to carry out suicide missions, which greatly reduced the casualties of the indigenous people.
Players can also get the most generous bounty, including their own pension, and everyone is happy.
Second update, cuckoo
