War Paradise

Chapter 973 God’s Trial

Power is like a deadly poison, it will make any creature lose itself, indulge in “formidable power”, and become a weak puppet.

The stronger the existence, the less willing to give up their own power. Even if they vaguely perceive the falsehood of the world, they are unwilling to admit that their own achievements and efforts are all in vain.

If the strength is strong self-esteem, the existence of extremely proud, the situation will be worse. Even if the truth has been discovered, they will even choose to ignore this fact. For example–

“Go tell the king that Leviathan has destroyed Mephistopheles and all of its territory.”

There was a low roar from the clouds, and the monstrous waves began to retreat, leaving an incomplete ruin. The territory of Mephistopheles, like the “undead zone” once ruled by the blood god, was completely destroyed by unstoppable forces. .

The sea monster that ruled a part of Sodom city roamed in the clouds, and Mephistopheles’ words had been thrown aside by it, and they were completely forgotten as a lie.

“The King of God has received your report.” A white shadow floating in the air sent a message to Leviathan: “Do you have anything else you want to say?”

“Tell him that one day I will overthrow his rule and become the true ruler of Sodom.” Leviathan roared.

The pale white shadow in the sky nodded slightly and disappeared into the filthy sky of Sodom City, destroying Leviathan in Mephistopheles territory and returning to its own territory.

——The war in Sodom is over, at least on the surface.

The remaining Devils returned to “The Underworld” through the unfathomable circular pit in the center of the city, and in the deepest part of “The Underworld”, in the golden palace. Sitting there is an archangel wearing a golden armor.

The angel who was crowned by the other demon gods of Sodom City as the King of Gods, shook the golden cup in his hand, and the three pairs of bright wings behind him, reflecting the surrounding space by Sacred’s light.

Although it looks like a standard angel, the angel’s face wears a Devil-like white bone mask, and the position of the eye sockets projected a blue cold light, leaning lazily on the translucent throne, with a crimson beside him. Cross-shaped weapon.

At this time, the angel was watching the scene in Mephistopheles territory through the “projection” in the palace. He not only saw what happened just now, but also heard the dialogue between Mephistopheles and Leviathan.

“Mephistopheles… have you found it.”

The pair of eyes exposed on the skull mask were slightly bent, and the angel stood up suddenly. The golden armor and light wings on his body instantly turned into red and black Devil armor and withered bone wings.

“Continue to paralyze them, don’t let the other demon kings wake up.”

In the magnificent palace, a holy oracle sounded: “Complete your mission, Michael!”

Once serving as an archangel in heaven and known as the incarnation of “absolute justice”, Michael, who can only lead the false Devil now, did not respond to the call of heaven. He just picked up the cross and turned away, humming in Devil. Songs learned from The Underworld.

He didn’t know if he was being corroded by Devil and gradually assimilated into a demon god, and he didn’t care what his own state was.

After all, as long as you can complete the tasks assigned by heaven, you don’t have to think about anything else.

…”Mephistopheles has awakened and is out of the control of heaven. Shadow Fiend and Baphomet are dead, but their cognition is still trapped in the illusion created by heaven.”

The ancient god spoke of the current situation in an icy tone: “Samael and Mammon are currently very weak. After losing their strength, they may also discover the truth of that world like Mephistopheles.”

“Ha, maybe.” Lin Chi, who was still in the illusion, continued to overlook the old city of Sodom below.

“Messenger, you have completed the task I gave me and presented me with fragments of the altar.” The ancient god conveyed his own will to Lin Chi: “Thank you for your efforts.”

“Is the ancient god south of Sodom city really you.” At this point, Lin Chi was not too surprised. After understanding the “hidden plot”, he naturally knew why the ancient god wanted to weaken and be trapped in The devil in illusion.

——Only when they are not blinded by power, those demon kings can face the hypocritical world and discover the flaws in the illusion.

Through the instructions of the observer contract, Lin Chi, who completed the special task, also triggered the special plot of this BOSS battle. Obviously, if you are not an “ancient god messenger”, you will probably be dragged into the battle here, and you will not have the opportunity to communicate with the ancient god hidden underground.

However, even if the opportunity for dialogue is given, the battle should be unavoidable. Because… the BOSS battle has not been judged to be over.

“What should I do next?” Lin Chi asked casually, preparing to trigger the following plot.

“Messenger, I have witnessed your strength, but to get my approval, you need to show your true ability in front of me. I will summon ancient warriors to fight with you and destroy them without mercy.”

——So what will happen next is the final trial bestowed by the ancient gods.

The illusion of the old city of Sodom began to dissipate, and then what appeared in the line of sight was not a city destroyed by sky fire, but a bloody arena:

Surrounded by huge wooden boards, he looked like he was standing in a terrifying beast cage. The wooden boards were covered with mottled blood, and the smell of blood could be vaguely smelled.

Different from ordinary arenas, the arena made by the ancient gods does not have any spectators, and there are no overly enthusiastic hosts. In an exhilarating tone, they introduce the challenger War Practitioner. There was only Lin Chi in the arena, standing alone in the deserted sand.

Lin Chi, who once played the role of a gladiator in the “Colosseum” map, has long been accustomed to this situation. He looked down at own body and found that the originally mutilated body had returned to normal, but the powerful force in his body had also disappeared.

Now he is using the body of an ordinary gladiator, and both the skills and equipment have disappeared, and the original walking corpse has also become the flesh and blood of a living person.

The gray light armor covering the upper body is full of small scars. In his rough hands, he holds a small round shield and a short sword. Although he is muscular, he can only be described as “weak” compared with the previous body. The gladiator stood on the empty battlefield, waiting for the moment when the trial began.

Five seconds later, the voice of the ancient god broke the silence in the arena:

“A fighter who is dexterous enough can survive the war. The first opponent you have to face is from the icy Savia Valley. He used to be a Shadow Guardian and the most powerful archer among Shadow Guardians. ”

Following the introduction of the ancient god, a man carrying a silver longbow appeared on the other side of the arena.

The archer was wearing light blue light armor, with strange arrows stuck in the quiver behind his back, which looked at least twice as thick as ordinary arrows.

The man with short brown hair nodded slightly to Lin Chi, his brown eyes cast a sharp gaze, and the expression on his young but wrinkled face was like a poisonous snake preparing to hunt.

As the archer appeared on the stage, a line of scarlet letters appeared in Lin Chi’s sight:

“Lightning Archer”, a heroic NPC, cannot be recruited.

“…”

There was deathly silence in the arena, and the heavy breathing of the two could be heard. Lin Chi tried to move his body that was only a gladiator level, and began to adapt to the body in this illusion, only to see that the archer was putting the arrow on the bowstring, and his movements were unusually gentle, as if he was comforting the longbow in his hand.

Although the opponent had a short knife hanging around his waist, Lin Chi knew very well that for such a pure archer, close combat is likely to be a weakness. As long as you can get close, you basically win.

Lin Chi started suddenly and rushed towards the archer.

Even during the charge, it is necessary to beware of the opponent’s arrows. Lin Chi has already noticed that the top of the arrow in the opponent’s hand is not a sharp metal, but a small green ball.

The archer shot an arrow suddenly. The speed of the arrow was pitifully slow because it was too heavy. Lin Chi easily flashed over, but it was obviously not that simple:

“puff!”

The small green ball at the top of the arrow exploded, and the green smoke quickly emitted, enclosing Lin Chi’s body, and the pungent sour smell made him cough. He hurriedly speeded up and rushed out of the smoke, only to find that he had returned to the place where he stood before the battle began.

It seems that this kind of green smoke can make the recruits lose their way in a short period of time.

Seeing that the other party was already on the string, Lin Chi was about to dodge, only a dazzling silver light flashed from that guy’s hand.

The opponent attacked!

Relying on the reaction speed exercised by the “field-ready battlefield”, Lin Chi’s body leaned back abruptly, and a silver arrow flew over his shoulders and slapped it to the wooden board two meters behind him.

Facing an archer with strong arms, rushing forward is definitely a dead end, and approaching in a circle is the right choice. After confirming the next tactics, Lin Chi began to run wildly to the right, an arrow flew in front of him, and it was also nailed to the wooden board behind.

——Is it crooked?

Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped. He noticed that behind the arrow nailed to the wall, there was still a very thin metal wire that was stretched straight, shining red lightly, as if it was still carrying some poor people’s blood.

It is said that some extremely thin metal wires are extremely sharp and can even tear human bodies. However, people who use this weapon in battle seem to be unusual.

There seems to be no such thing on the arrow just now…

Looking back at the previous arrow, Lin Chi immediately realized that the other party was yin himself: ordinary people would not pay attention to the arrows that came afterwards when they saw that there was no Hidden Weapons on the first arrow. Then he would be cut in half by the metal thread on the arrow afterwards, and he didn’t understand how he died.

However, this kind of trap alone cannot escape Lin Chi’s eyes…

Happiness!

The archer shot three arrows in a row and swept towards Lin Chi’s body. One of the arrows was blocked by a buckler. The force was so strong that Lin Chi staggered towards the retreated step, and the other two arrows with thin lines. Arrow was also nailed to the wooden board, creating an extremely sharp cage, trying to trap Lin Chi in it.

“Is this the’test of dexterity’…” Lin Chi curled his lips.Needless to say, as long as you are trapped by the metal wire, you are bound to die.

In this way, the key to this battle is to see who is faster.

Lin Chi ran two steps forward, and suddenly a sliding shovel rushed forward, his hair brushed with the wire, and at the same time a piece of scalp was shaved off.

While the opponent was still pulling the strings, Lin Chi, who was transformed into a gladiator, kicked the ground with both feet and dashed towards the archer in a sprint like an antelope!

Snapped!

Another arrow came, Lin Chi’s center of gravity sank, and his body immediately moved down, creating a “grazing” effect. As the arrow bounced off the light armor on his shoulders, he had already rushed to the archer. In front of it.

Seeing the enemy approaching, the archer threw down the longbow and drew out the short-handled double knives, trying to start a hand-to-hand battle with Lin Chi.

Fortunately, this guy is not a “melee archer”, but just an ordinary archer. After less than two rounds, he was beheaded by a barbaric “gladiator”, the corpse lost his head, and fell on the sand in the arena. In the ground.

“Well done, messenger.”

The ancient god’s tone was approving: “You passed the dexterity trial. But what a soldier needs more is tactics.”

“Your next opponent comes from the old city of Sodom. He is a dark magician hidden in the city. Kill him and show me your power.”

The archer’s corpse turned into smoke and dissipated. This time, a hunchback man in a black robe appeared in the arena. When this guy appeared, the text introduction also appeared again:

“Shadow Mage”, a heroic NPC, cannot be recruited.

The black robe not only covers this guy’s body, but also covers his face. Only a black figure can be seen at such a distance, and it is impossible to recognize whether this guy is a male or a female.

——Like the archer just now, close combat is also the most reliable option to fight against this kind of mage.

Lin Chi was about to rush towards the mage when he found that the black figure had rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

“What’s the situation, melee mage?”

Before he finished his words, the black figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, bringing a bloody wind.

Lin Chi slammed a punch at the shadow in front of him, the force of this punch was enough to smash anyone’s head. But just as the fist was about to touch the mage, a frightening dark aura burst out of the opponent.

The pervasive black air blocked Lin Chi’s heavy fist. He tried to withdraw his own hand, but found that his hand had been entangled in the black air and could not move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi kicked at the mage, and at the same time tried to withdraw his right hand, but because his body was kept in place, his attack range was really limited. The other party just stepped back and easily avoided this foot.

The pitch-black mage stood in a position out of reach of Lin Chi, who had only melee weapons, and a low and hoarse voice sounded from under the hood covering his head:

“Lokas, Belllock. I summon a horror weapon in the name of the evil god.”

With the black mage’s voice, black flames emerged from his hands, and the outline of the blade’s blade faintly appeared in the air.
