Chapter 149 Goodbye Invisible Bridge
[Looking at the trembling survivors, you decide.]
[Option 1: Give them rest in peace]
[Option 2: Leave behind items that are sufficient to protect them]
[Option 3: Leave directly]
Without giving it much thought, Dahl chose option 2 based on his sense of morality, leaving behind enough items to protect the survivors.
[You chose to leave behind the silver necklace. This artifact bestowed by King Gwyn can repel all the erosion of the abyss, making the darkness of the abyss retreat. It will definitely protect the surviving people.]
Wait, Gwyn!?
When he saw this important name, Dahl suddenly realized how valuable the silver necklace he left behind was.
Who is this knight and how could he obtain the divine weapon bestowed by the King of Sunshine?
From a God's perspective, people can guess the identity of this knight, but from Dahl's own perspective, the lack of a lot of key information makes it impossible for him to associate it with the wolf knight.
He didn't even know that Wandering in the Abyss was an ability that only someone could gain after signing a pact with an abyss monster.
A trace of regret suddenly appeared in Dal's heart. Just by looking at the description of the silver necklace, he knew that it was a weapon to fight against the abyss. Without it, the next process of fighting against the abyss would become extremely dangerous.
He is the type of person who can immerse himself completely in a story just by reading the text description, and is already thinking about what to do next.
[You made the best choice you thought in your heart, no matter what consequences it brings, you will not regret it]
[You and your companions go deep into this country eroded by the abyss, kill countless monsters, and resolutely move towards the darkness where the Lord of the Abyss is.]
[But without the protection of the silver necklace, the attacks of the abyss monsters made you tainted with darkness and gradually corroded]
[Receive Blessing: Abyss Infection]
[The darkness of the abyss corrodes you. Although the dose is small, it will still take your life and affect your mental state. Every time you jump through time and space, the infection will deepen.]
[Receive Blessing: Tribute from Survivors]
[The rescued survivors will always remember your heroic deeds and pray for you. These well-intentioned blessings may have unexpected effects.]
Before the event ended, he saw "himself" fighting alien monsters in the darkness. The spells used by the monsters hit his body, deepening the infection of the abyss bit by bit, but "himself" never stopped because of the injury, and he waved his sword to cut down all aliens.
The scene changed, and the survivors sat around the silver necklace. In the light brought by the necklace, they clasped their hands together, bowed their heads and prayed for the knight.
Beyond the light, the surging abyss stares intently, as if foreshadowing the final outcome of the survivors.
After coming out of the incident, Dahl still felt a little dazed.
What does the ending mean? Are the survivors ultimately unable to avoid being swallowed by the abyss?
His mood dropped a little.
I always feel that the stories I witnessed in the Senn dungeon are all sad.
Be it the Firebringer, the Fran Undead Squad, or the current knights and survivors, there seems to be no hope for the future for everyone.
The flame continues to be passed on by those who sacrificed their lives, but what if no one is willing to pass on the flame in the future? Until now, people who study Sion still don't know what the flame of the world is like now.
The Fran Undead Squad was also eroded in the battle with the Abyss. Members went crazy one by one, and eventually the Undead Squad fell into endless internal friction, with only one person left waiting for the end alone.
The survivors can certainly rely on the silver necklaces to stay safe for a while, but they do not have the strength to walk out of the country eroded by the abyss. They can only linger here, and their end is despair.
Hell, couldn’t Theon Dungeon have a story full of love and light?
The more Dahl thought about these stories, the more he felt that ancient times were gloomy, and he became depressed.
"There is still hope. The knight has gone to challenge the Lord of the Abyss. If he can defeat the enemy, then all the survivors can be saved."
Leon said this after listening to Dahl's account of the incident.
Dar looked up at the other person's expression, thinking it was to comfort him.
But Leon's expression was full of greatness and justice. What a great face, full of trust in the knight and the vision that justice will surely triumph over evil. In other words, he really believed that the knight could win.
Dal's mouth moved, but in the end, he said nothing. He complained in his heart: His personality is so bright, why is his fighting style so vulgar... uh, steady?
He always felt that Leon was full of contrasts. His thoughts were very righteous but his fighting was very evil. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not disgusting.
On the contrary, I found it quite interesting and felt that the other person was a good person with whom I could have a deeper relationship.
They could interact, but he didn't want to learn that kind of fighting style!
Absolutely not!
Compared with Dal, the event Leon encountered this time was much simpler. He met a magician who asked him if he wanted to spend his soul to learn magic.
The souls gained from entering the Rogue level are calculated separately from the souls gained from other places in the Senn dungeon. The former can be used as currency in some places.
Leon took a look and found that there were only three magics he could learn:
Pyroxene magic gravel, pyroxene swift magic gravel, pyroxene curved arc.
The price was not the problem, but the real problem was that he didn't have a magic wand, so it was useless to learn it, so he didn't learn anything.
If Gapar were here, he would be happy, as he has always wanted to learn magic.
These "pyroxenes" feel so familiar, as if the professors of the Magic Association have mentioned similar things. Perhaps they will be interested in this place.
Leon thought about it. He had little contact with the people in the Magic Association, and he heard that they had a bad temper. So he decided to tell Drew about this and let him decide whether to contact the magic professors.
Although it is very likely that he would not do so, he had seen Drew scolding the professors for an entire night, and all the swear words he used were different.
In the levels after defeating the elite monsters, the monsters' strength has been improved. Correspondingly, the adventurers can keep up with the pace of strengthening because of the blessing. As long as the effect of the blessing is not too bad, they can still keep up with the pace.
Leon uses the Gift: Great Sword Dance of the Tomb King to clear out the remaining monsters, then enters the next level to continue fighting.
The intensity of combat in the meat pigeons is much higher than that in the outside world. After all, as long as you survive, you can continue to pass the levels. Even in the Fran Fortress, there are some rest areas where monsters will occasionally not come to disturb you, and the density of monsters is not that high.
Long periods of fighting are a pressure for adventurers, but also an opportunity. The so-called combat experience and intuition are acquired through a large number of battles. There are not so many natural geniuses.
Although the strength improvement brought by the blessing will disappear after leaving the meat pigeon, the feeling of reaching a higher level after being strengthened remains in people's hearts. These feelings may be called insights.
Experiencing the combat insights of a higher level in advance is a rare opportunity for those who want to improve their martial arts.
The one who made the fastest progress was Dal. The two blessings, [Abyss Infection] and [Abyss Watcher], just formed a cycle. Every time and space jump deepened his infection level while also improving his strength.
When the infection level reached half, he felt that he could even compete with the Sword Master!
This was his illusion. The infection from the abyss made his mental state become a little arrogant.
The two worked together to defeat the second elite monster, but this time it still did not drop any painting fragments. Perhaps the drop rate of this thing was originally low, and Leon just happened to be lucky that time.
"Are you okay?" Leon couldn't help but ask Dal with concern as he looked at his body covered in black mud.
"It's okay, I'm very energetic now!" Dal has never felt so good as he does now. He seems to have endless energy all over his body. The degree of infection in the abyss has exceeded half.
Leon didn't know what to say, so he could only open the teleportation chest and enter the next room.
Will the next level be a battle or an event? I hope it will be an event, I prefer to read the story.
He thought so, but the scene before him made his knees tremble.
This is not a collection of identical rooms, but a large rift valley with strong winds.
They were standing on the edge of a cliff. There seemed to be something on the opposite side, but the distance between the two was almost one kilometer!
There is nothing in between, how do I get through?
Leon missed Drew. It would be great if he could use the skill of flying.
[The magicians of Rhea Lukalia have developed a technology called the Invisible Bridge, and invite you to be testers]
[The further you advance on the invisible bridge, the greater the reward from the magician]
[But please note that the traps on the bridge are also invisible]
"Invisible bridge?"
He remembered seeing the invisible bridge in the reports of the Adventurer's Guild. Many people had encountered this kind of trap in the lower mine area of the Sen Dungeon, but he had not experienced it personally.
“Hoohoo~”
Strong winds swept up the dark clouds, and just standing there made people feel like they were going to be blown down. Leon looked down and saw that the rift was so deep that it was bottomless. If you fell in, you would be covered in bruises.
So the question is, where should he find the beginning of the invisible bridge?
It seemed that there was no need to look for it, because there was a glowing stone lying in mid-air, as if giving them a hint.
"There's something here," Dahl said, finding a pocket full of rainbow stones on the ground. These glowing stones can be used to mark paths.
"Then, let's go?" Leon's lips were a little dry. To be honest, he suddenly felt a little afraid of heights.
Maybe it was infected by Malu.
The two threw a rainbow stone forward as a test, and the stone stopped steadily in mid-air.
Leon knelt on the ground again without caring about his image and groped in the air. He wanted to see how wide this invisible bridge was. Finally, he determined that the width was two meters.
It’s not bad, much looser than I thought, and I can dance on it.
If you move forward while throwing rainbow stones to test the way, as long as you are careful, you won't make any mistakes. It's only a matter of time before you pass the invisible bridge and get the full reward.
Leon moved step by step, looking extremely cautious, and it was definitely not because he was timid.
After walking for a while, he suddenly thought of a question:
Where is the trap? Where is the legendary trap?
If it were any other dungeon he wouldn't worry about the traps, but this was the Thane dungeon, not a place where one could relax.
"I think I see a trap,"
Dahl suddenly pointed forward. Leon looked in the direction of his finger and was completely speechless.
Less than fifty meters away from them, there were several thin monsters with pointed hoods hanging in mid-air, looking like the kind that were lurking by the bridge and attacking passers-by.
This is too abrupt.
"Why can't the monsters become invisible?" Leon complained, "How stupid."
"One on each side,"
Dal had already walked over with his sword in hand, and the monsters seemed not to notice him. It was not until he stood in front of them that the monsters slowly climbed up with their thin arms.
Dahl kicked one down and seemed to enjoy the feeling.
Leon sighed, feeling that this trap was substandard and uninteresting.
I've run out of ideas for the Thane dungeon.
He also joined the team that kicked the monsters. It was really fun to kick them.
The monsters fell off the cliff one by one and were kicked away in the blink of an eye, but the two men still felt a little unsatisfied.
This is purely a reward level.
Leon wiped his hands and was about to move forward, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
"Gurgle"
It seemed as if something heavy was rolling over quickly.
That thing is very large and round, otherwise it would not have rolled out to create this oppressive feeling.
Could it be that——
Big iron ball!?
Leon's expression suddenly became horrified, as if he had heard something wrong just now, but they were so engrossed in kicking the monster that they didn't pay attention.
Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I realized one thing.
Those monsters are bait!
