On the fifteenth level of the Spiral of Silence, as thunder, rain, wind and fire swept through, a small sanctuary was pushed against the wall, like a shaky shelter.
Igula stood in front of Gwen, trying to reduce the size of the sanctuary as much as possible. The larger the sanctuary, the larger the impact area, and the more mana consumed. Now Igula had to save every bit of mana, and it would be best if the sanctuary was reduced to fit closely to the body surface, but he had to protect Gwen, so there had to be space for two people in the sanctuary.
But the situation continued to deteriorate. His magic power had dropped to one third, and after the "psychological shadow explosion", the Black Feather Magician entered a completely autistic state. Igula failed to lure anyone out to be slaughtered.
Even though the Black Crow scribbled on their sanctuary barrier, no Black Feather Magician looked at him, as if they regarded him as a noisy crow.
"Surrender, Lord Igula." Mercury Trojan Horse regained his confidence and said, "You have reached a dead end. My Black Feather Guard will not be deceived by you again."
"I never lie to people," Iguerra said. "I just tell them a story they want to believe."
Igula had to admire Mercury Trojan - he specifically pointed out that the Black Feather Magician was jealous and afraid of Black Crow, thinking that he could put a thorn in the Black Feather Magician's heart, but Mercury Trojan pulled out the thorn and healed the wound with saliva. The scar left by the wound healing did not become the source of the Black Feather Magician's inferiority, but instead became a symbol of their pride.
Although there are only three Sanctuary Magicians left, the Black Feather Guard's combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreased.
In terms of the ability to manipulate people's hearts, among the people Igula knows, Mercury Trojan can be ranked second.
But the Mercury Trojan Horse is now determined to slowly exhaust Igula's magical power. Faced with this kind of kingly offensive of outnumbered troops, Igula, who is good at evil tricks, is really helpless.
Once the magic power is exhausted, Igula is no different from Lalafei who can be slaughtered at will!
At this moment, the ground beneath them suddenly collapsed, and Igula and Gwen immediately spread their wings and flew up, but the Black Feather Magician, who had been prepared, had already cast a rain of lightning and water arrows to hunt them down. Wherever Igula looked, all the raindrops fell towards him and would eventually fall into his eyes.
Swish! They were flying in the rainstorm, and the rain of lightning and water arrows turned accordingly, dripping and hitting the sanctuary. Just as Igula turned rapidly in front of the wall, wanting to consume the rain of lightning and water arrows on the wall, he suddenly noticed something strange.
Snap!
He suddenly pulled Gwen into his arms. At this time, Gwen's arm had been pierced by a thunder and water arrow. The wound was charred and the bone was visible.
Igula glanced at her and said nothing. He thought it was just an accident, but during the next firestorm attack, he noticed that Gwen was almost out of the sanctuary, and he grabbed her wrist tightly, causing Gwen to groan in pain.
"Is it my illusion," Igula whispered, "or are you really looking for death?"
Gwen remained silent.
"Are all of you Senluo people like this? You're all rushing to die, thinking that you can leave something behind by dying. Crow is like this, and so are you. Looking at it this way, Mercury Trojan and Chikara are a little better, at least they know how to cherish life... If your mouth can't speak, just sew it up."
Gwen still didn't speak.
After spending many days together, Igula had already figured out the character of this astrologer's assistant. No response meant that she had not changed her mind. Igula knew what she was thinking with her hair. She thought that everyone would die next, but without her as a burden, Igula's sanctuary could hold out for a little longer, and he could escape faster later...
So Igula really hates the Senluo people. They love them in a messy way and hate them in a messy way. It is really a messed up country. Everyone is stubborn and crazy for something...
Crazy...
The fraudster suddenly had a wonderful idea.
"Since you want to die..." Igula said coldly: "Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Gwen looked up at him and nodded slowly.
When the Black Feather Magician switched to the Thunder and Water Arrow Rain attack, Igula and Gwen suddenly ran towards the fog gates on the upper and lower levels respectively.
Mercury Trojan was startled, but immediately gave the order: "Lock on Igula!"
The rain of lightning and water arrows attacked Igula, who suddenly let out a super-large-scale mental scream, affecting the Black Feather Magician, and naturally destroyed most of the lightning and water arrows. But among the remaining lightning and water arrows, several of them pierced Igula!
However--
"Mercury Trojan, do you really want to fight me to the death?"
The mercury horse blinked and found that Igula appeared near the lower door unharmed. The one pierced by the rain of lightning and water arrows was Gwen!
Her pupils suddenly shrank. Could this be——
"Spirit of the Replacement Technique." Igula said coldly, "This is my trump card... If you hadn't insisted on stopping me, I wouldn't have been willing to expose this power."
Gwen leaned against the earth wall in front of the upper fog gate, trembling with pain.
"I'll ask you again, Mercury Trojan, will you let me go?"
Mercury Trojan Horse's heart moved: "If you are willing to hand over the Transposition Spirit, I will let you go."
The art of replacement!
No matter who it is, one can see at a glance the huge potential of this magic spirit!
Think about it, when two sides are confronting each other, what will happen if you suddenly move the other side's core figure to your own camp? In an ambush, what will happen if you suddenly move the target to a trap? In a pursuit...
The tactical value of this magic spirit is immeasurable. Although Mercury Trojan has never heard of this magic spirit, everything is possible in the virtual world. What's more, Igula comes from another country. Maybe this is the result of magic from other countries.
If one could obtain this magic spirit, it would be no less than obtaining a holy realm fighter!
However, Igulla sneered: "Don't make such a promise that is more fragile than toilet paper."
"Then hand over all your other magic spirits." Mercury Trojan said immediately: "If there is something I want, I might be willing to let you go if I am happy."
"Not all of it. I can only give you part of it at most."
"Then tell me what kind of magic you have..."
Black Crow on the side watched their negotiation quietly. Fortunately, the crow mask blocked his view, so no one could see his astonishment.
In his sight, the injured one sitting on the ground was Igula, and the one standing was Gwen!
Igula and Gwen didn't exchange positions at all!
The trickster probably cast an illusion miracle on himself and Gwen, so in the eyes of others, he and Gwen swapped positions in an instant. However, Black Crow was not directly affected by any magic spirit, and he was almost completely immune to this kind of mental influence miracle!
Black Crow was still wondering why Igula did this, but he found that the latter was secretly digging a hole in the earth wall. Behind the earth wall was the fog door leading to the upper level - Igula wanted to run away!
Yes, now there is no hope of defeating the Mercury Trojan Horse, why not leave? From the beginning, Black Crow also hoped that only he would die here. Igula and Gwen were both implicated by him, so it is natural for them to leave now.
but……
Black Crow looked at Gwen who was gradually approaching the Mercury Horse. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
He didn't expect that in order to buy time to dig the hole, Igula actually turned Gwen into bait to attract the attention of the Mercury Trojan Horse.
But thinking about it carefully, Black Crow couldn't blame Igula. Gwen was their prisoner of war, and Gwen was the evil vessel of the mercury horse. She should have died in the dead city a long time ago. It was Igula who saved her life.
Now Igula is using her as bait to give himself a chance to survive, which is what Gwen should do.
However, Black Crow was confused, wanting to kill both Tanomu and Igula - why was Gwen willing to be your bait, Igula, don't you know! ?
She usually doesn't say anything, but follows you silently, doing anything you don't want to do for you, and preparing everything you are too lazy to prepare for you. She is like an inconspicuous grass, just wanting to be with you, and she doesn't even need you to look at her more, she only needs the sunshine you let out to shine.
But he could do nothing, say nothing, and could only watch the development of the situation quietly, because this was what Igula wanted and what Gwen was willing to do.
"...Three three-winged magic spirits, this is my limit."
"Okay, deal." Mercury Trojan said happily, "Hand over the magic spirit."
Gwen looked at the black feather magicians in front of her, and her body began to tremble with fear. She suddenly pressed her injured arm, took a deep breath, spread her virtual wings and flew up.
She should have died long ago, when the Four Pillars of God invaded the sect, when she was in the City of Death. She lived her whole life in a daze, only knowing to obey the orders of the sect and the orders of the Mercury Trojan Horse. She didn't know why she lived, and didn't know why she died. She lived like an animal.
But at least this time, she chose to live and die like this.
As an animal, she lived too long; but as a star, she shined and twinkled just enough.
She spread her virtual wings and flew up, following Igula's last order, shouting: "Black Crow, get ready--"
"attack!"
At the command of Mercury Trojan, Black Feather Magician launched a rain of thunder and water arrows again! However, their target was not Igula flying in the air, but Gwen who was digging a hole in the distance!
After all, even Black Crow noticed that Gwen was digging a hole, so how could Mercury not see it? But her idea was completely different from Black Crow's - she thought that after Gwen dug the hole, Igula would exchange places with Gwen and take the opportunity to escape back to the upper floor!
The reason why 'Igula' negotiated with him was just to buy time for 'Gwen' to dig a hole!
Therefore, except for a small part of the rain of arrows that was shot at Igula, the vast majority of the rain of arrows was directed at Gwen! In this way, after Igula and Gwen exchanged positions, they would also be bombarded by the rain of thunder and water arrows!
At this moment.
Gwen thought she was bait.
Black Crow thought Gwen was bait.
Mercury Trojan also thought 'Gwen' was bait!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! —
Although the psychic screams continued to echo in the hall, many lightning and water arrows still pierced through the figures beside the earth wall!
"Who are you attacking?"
As Igula's teasing voice echoed in the hall, the Black Feather Magician was horrified to find that the pitiful figure who was pierced through the wall by the rain of lightning arrows, bleeding all over and coughing up a large mouthful of dirty blood, was...
Mercury Trojan!
The trickster actually swapped Gwen and the throne?
They, murdered the throne?
In an instant, the Black Feather Magician let go of the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground. The light in the hall seemed to dim, and overwhelming darkness swept across their world.
In the hearts of all black-feathered magicians, there appeared a blood crow that pecked at their conscience.
Gwen stared at the scene in a daze. She was not hurt at all because the sanctuary was protecting her.
It is the holy land of Igula.
He used the sanctuary to protect Gwen, and he himself endured the piercing of the rain of lightning and water arrows. This was an inevitable price. Only in this way would the Black Feather Magician completely believe the ending of his story.
The story begins when he and Gwen exchange identities.
The exchange of magic spirits is the core of the story. He had to make the Black Feather Magician believe that he really had a magic spirit that could exchange their positions, so he had to create an opportunity for him and Gwen to exchange positions, for example, he exchanged positions with Gwen just before he was injured.
Then, he only needs to disguise himself as the Mercury Horse the next time he is injured, and the Black Feather Magician will believe that Igula and the Mercury Horse have exchanged positions and they have hurt their master.
In other places, this trick is meaningless. But only in the Crow Killing Trial, Igula's conspiracy can become a deadly sharp knife!
The guilt of killing Mercury Trojan will overwhelm the Black Feather Magicians and make them completely lose their fighting power! The three Sanctuary Magicians can't even maintain their Sanctuary!
so--
Igula almost coughed up blood and shouted, "Tamasi!"
Snap!
Before he could say anything, the killing dance of the black crows had already begun. Countless heads flew up, countless corpses fell down, and countless blood splashed. Wherever the black crows passed, all living beings were harvested like straw!
Three sanctuary magicians.
Thirteen two-winged magicians.
Twenty one-winged magicians.
Three seconds.
It only took three seconds for Black Crow to completely destroy the last capital of Mercury Trojan. During the whole process, Mercury Trojan had been staring at it blankly, as if he had not yet reacted, or perhaps he knew that he was powerless.
She looked up and saw the shadow of the Death Crow looming over her figure.
