War Paradise

Chapter 974 Fear Messenger

The translucent long knife raised in the flames swung down at Lin Chi mercilessly.

boom!

The weapon summoned by the Shadow Mage was blocked by the small buckler in Lin Chi’s left hand. His knuckles suddenly crackled, and the shock-like numbness crawled from his left hand to his shoulder, and his left arm directly lost consciousness.

The long knife has a very strong attack power, but it is a summoned weapon after all. Its attack method is not as smart as the weapon held by someone. After the first knife was blocked, the blade was raised high again and aimed at it. Lin Chi’s body was lost.

“Sius-gus…”

An unknown spell floated under the black mage’s hood, like the hissing of a poisonous snake. This mage’s fighting method is to control the enemy within a close range, and then summon a weapon to beheaded.

Although he had already figured out the opponent’s fighting method, Lin Chi, who had no long-range weapons on hand, could not solve the enemy from a long distance. Only when he was close could he have a chance. What’s more troublesome now is that his right hand has been fixed.

“Your life will be a sacrifice…”

The black magician let out an old laugh, and the long knife that was summoned swung a sharp and clean slash, slashing towards Lin Chi’s head!

Click!

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the bone-thinning pain spread. At the last moment before being hit, Lin Chi’s body turned around, and at the cost of a fractured right hand, he escaped a fatal blow.

“…”

As if he did not expect the enemy to be so reckless, the Black Mage was also a little surprised for a while, but at this time, Lin Chi had already regained his strength in his almost unconscious left arm with the help of the intense stimulation brought by the severe pain. Waved, the round shield also let go.

With a crisp sound, the black mage’s head was smashed by the shield, and a puff of old blood spurted from under the hood, and the dark bondage that controlled Lin Chi’s right hand disappeared.

At this time, Lin Chi’s right hand had already become a “gummy” tossing around, and blood was still bleeding between his fingers, but even so, it couldn’t be easier to deal with the unconscious black mage.

Avoiding the long knife he swung for the third time, Lin Chi rushed to the black magician who fell to the ground and kicked the opponent’s head with a big foot. He only heard a click, and the guy’s head fell back. After ninety degrees, the summoning weapon disappeared with the flame.

“Emissary, you have completed the trial of tactics.”

At the same time as the Black Mage Death, the voice of the ancient god resounded through the arena again: “Next, what you have to face is pure power, defeat him, and complete the final trial.”

“Is it finally over…”

Looking at his right hand with a comminuted fracture, Lin Chi bent down and picked up the dagger that had fallen on the ground with his left hand.

What appeared in the arena this time was a black-skinned rhino, covered with spiked armor on its back.

Looking at the appearance, this rhino is a more difficult opponent than the two people just now, but when he saw the sharp horns on the top of the rhino’s head and the two small eyes, Lin Chi smiled instead.

——Even if the brute force is strong, the enemy is no more than a violent beast. After experiencing a series of bloody battles, Lin Chi, who saw this “weak” enemy, felt a little relieved.

He retreated to the edge of the arena, watched the rhino rush towards him, and when he was about to be hit, he ran to the right.boom!

The rhino’s body slammed into the wooden wall of the arena, creating a spider-web-shaped crack on the wooden plank. As it hit the wooden plank, the short sword in Lin Chi’s hand had already pierced the rhino’s flanks that were not covered by armor.

The rhino’s skin is indeed very hard, but the skin at the folds is very soft, which can be said to be the best target for attack. Lin Chi drew out his dagger, bringing out a long blood line, avoiding the rhino’s constantly twisting body.

As long as you figure out how to play, the next thing to do is to repeat this process continuously. The rhinoceros who was tortured by the kite-flying tactics soon got a few more wounds on his body, and the sandy ground where it passed was full of viscous plasma, and its moving speed became more and more slow.

Finally, when he was hit by a short sword for the fifth time, the rhino finally struggled a few times, lying on the ground and unable to stand up anymore, his small eyes kept turning, as if two tears flowed out.

“I’m sorry, I must live.” Lin Chi said as he threw away the short sword in his hand, stood in the middle of the arena, raised his head and asked loudly: “Alright?”

“Very well, messenger, you have my approval.”

With the voice of the ancient gods, the illusion of the arena began to disappear, and Lin Chi’s body also changed back to the appearance of a walking corpse. He returned to the center of the old city of Sodom and appeared beside the high platform destroyed by the sky fire.

Lin Chi was looking around with a dazed expression, only to see that the black energy that enveloped the center of the city began to dissipate, and the questioning voice of the ancient god began to weaken:

“Tell me, messenger, what is your wish?”

For Lin Chi, answering this question is more troublesome than letting him fight the boss. He slowly said: “I have no desires, I just want to fight with you.”

“Don’t lie.” The ancient god’s voice turned into a deep whisper: “Tell me what you really think.”

——If you say to this guy that you are interested in AI, the ancient gods probably cannot understand. If you simply want to accept followers, you might be killed by the ancient gods. Then the next answer should be…

“I want to explore this world.” Lin Chi said solemnly: “I like this cruel, barbaric, and war-filled world. I want to keep going and watch all the wars in the world.”

“Are you a fighting freak?” The ancient god’s voice was filled with sullen anger.

“No, I just like taking risks.” Lin Chi shook his head: “My strength is still very weak, please help me. In exchange, I will continue to give you strength.”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, the ancient gods temporarily entered a state of silence.

Because he didn’t know the preferences of the ancient god very much, his answer was actually a risk. Lin Chi knew that he might lose the favor of this god at any time, or even be killed by the ancient god. But what he just said is indeed the true idea of ​​own:

Compared with the boring reality, the virtual world has more appetite for him. Traveling in the virtual world is exactly what Lin Chi’s hobby lies.

“…”

The icy silence continued, and the ancient god image disappeared completely without making any sound.

The old city of Sodom in front of Lin Chi began to slowly lose its color, just like when he first arrived, it once again turned into a dark world composed of black, white and gray.

The city in front of him began to disappear, and Lin Chi’s body began to become transparent. A gust of wind blew by. He seemed to be punched hard, and his eyes became dark. When his vision was frozen again, he found himself appearing in another “so Outside the city of Doma.

The full moon hung high above the head casts bright moonlight. Looking at the bushes around him and the winding forest paths, Lin Chi immediately realized that he had been thrown back into the “remnants of the abyss” and returned to the road near the execution ground when he entered the game. .

But this time, I am not alone.

“Woo…”

A familiar female voice sounded behind him, and Lin Chi turned his head, stumbled over the forest path with a touch of white, and hit him.

“Ah…Where am I?”

Moriya stretched out her hand to hold Lin Chi’s chest, raised her head and saw the face of “Lord Messenger”. On the pale face of Holy Maiden, a delighted smile immediately appeared:

“Are you… still alive?”

“If the walking corpse is still alive, I will probably be alive for a long time.” Lin Chi looked down at the walking corpse body that had returned to an intact state, checked his backpack and skill bar, and the equipment and skills he had previously. All appeared in it intact.

It seems that before sending himself out of the space in the old city of Sodom, the ancient god also repaired own body by the way. Also sent out at the same time was Moria who entered that world with herself.

So, that BOSS battle should be over, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned and walked along the path to the execution ground, and Mooliya followed.

The statue of Mephistopheles originally standing on the execution ground seemed to have been weathered, turning into unrecognizable stones.

Although the outline disappeared, Moria recognized at a glance what the “stone” was originally. She blinked vigorously, stretched out her hand to stroke the broken stone, and whispered to the gods who had disappeared in this world. :

“Good luck, Lord Mephistopheles…”

“Don’t be sad, he just awakened.” Lin Chi patted Mooliya on the shoulder.

“I know…” Mo Liya murmured.

She used to be Holy Maiden of Mephistopheles, knowing that she might never see Mephistopheles again. But even if the god had disappeared, Moria would never forget the other party’s life-saving grace.

“I also chose… my own path.” Molliya clenched her fists.

Like Mephistopheles, she also chose the option of freedom. The difference is that she did not intend to embark on the journey alone, but found a new companion.

Mooliya turned to her side and looked at the slack look of the walking corpse next to her with her arms folded. She reached out and grabbed Lin Chi’s sleeves, and lowered her head to ask:

“My Courier, I know that I have deceived you. If you can, please forgive me. I also want to join you… to see more scenery.”

After saying these words, Mo Liya lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lin Chi’s eyes, playing with her own fingers nervously, her heart was also unusually disturbed.

She thought Lin Chi would think about it, but the other party’s reply came very quickly. Lin Chi nodded almost without hesitation, smiled at Molia, and said:

“Come on, I’m worried about not having travel companions.”

—— Lin Chi’s opportunity to recruit hero-level NPCs is naturally impossible to miss. Even if she lost the power bestowed by Mephistopheles, Moria, a vampire, could still come in handy.

Although there are many weaknesses, the advantage of the blood race in the battle is also very obvious: in other maps, most people probably won’t be wary of vampires. In the face of enemies without Sacred weapons, the kinship can almost be regarded as invincible.”Thank you……”

Mooriya stretched out her right hand wearing the skull ring, and took Lin Chi’s hand and waved it vigorously, as if she was reaching some kind of “blood contract.”

After completing the recruitment of this NPC, Lin Chi took out the observer’s contract, and saw that the text above was unusually concise, with only four words: “touch the altar”.

Lin Chi stood in front of the weathered altar at Mephistopheles, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone, and the ancient whispers seemed to sound from his body, shaking his internal organs:

“The contract is established, build an altar for me, and I will curse your enemies.”

Before Lin Chi could answer, his left hand suddenly sank, and a black round heraldry appeared on the palm of his hand.

The shell of the coat of arms is painted with curved lines, like the tentacles of an octopus. When the equipment is obtained, the item introduction also pops up:

The coat of arms of the ancient gods:

Special props, summoning props.

Item level: unknown.

In the available maps, use this coat of arms to call the ancient gods, follow the instructions of the ancient gods to build an altar, and your enemies will be cursed.

“Don’t anger the ancient existence, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. People who try to touch forbidden knowledge will rot on the bloody road.”

——So, this is the “leader-level entourage” recruited this time?

Realizing that he had completed the task on the contract, Lin Chi weighed the coat of arms in his hand and stuffed the thing into his backpack before Mooriya could ask any questions.

He thought that this time the leader-level entourage would follow him in a human form, just like Jane. Now it seems that the situation is obviously a bit special. I did not recruit the ancient gods, but obtained a “communication device” of the ancient gods.

As long as you build an altar for the ancient god, you can use the power of that god to cast a fatal curse on the enemy. Judging from the extent to which the demon kings of Sodom City have been weakened, the curse of the ancient gods is absolutely outstanding.

However, Lin Chi still has a lot of questions about this “follower”:

What is the real name of this ancient god? The enemy that can be cursed, is it a player or an NPC in the game? What is the “Crimson Book” that I got?

This map about the afterimage of the abyss. There are still many mysteries that have not been solved. But just like the “dark sword” that liberated power in other maps, the secrets of the ancient gods might also be unlocked in the course of the game later.

So, what I have to do next is to leave here and complete the final battle of this game:

At this time, the remaining players in the game, including Lin Chi, were left with only three. He opened the map and looked at it. The locations of the three players, including himself, were all displayed in the form of red dots. On the map.

Now that the recruitment has been completed, there is no need to continue to consume it here.

He was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a few lines of text prompt popped up in front of him:

The BOSS battle “Old Sodom” has ended. It took one hour, three minutes and twenty seconds.

Congratulations to the player “Reverse” for completing the first kill of the BOSS and refreshing the record of the fastest kill of the BOSS! You get the achievement “Fear Messenger!”
