Chapter 285 Taboo
When the bearded old man with glasses appeared on the battlefield, the people of Glory City were delighted and their morale was boosted.
"Master Kavo!"
Everyone cheered.
After all, he is the leader of the "Ten Legends". This old man who once founded the Glorious City has a very high prestige among the native residents of the Glorious City.
As soon as he appeared, the soldiers saw hope and thought that this legendary figure came to help them fight the enemy.
Unfortunately, the Kavo in front of him was covered in a halo, and was obviously not a physical entity. This was the secret technique [Phantom Light Projection] that only a fifth-level magician could master.
This projection has no combat power, but it can project a ring of light and shadow within a certain distance.
Kipling looked at the old man with a complicated expression.
Only the projection came, and the real person was unwilling to show up, so he naturally guessed the purpose of this person's appearance immediately.
He asked directly: "Master, do you want to stop me?"
Kavo shook his head and said, "Kipling, I told you that once Glory City is established, everything will have nothing to do with me. I have already heard the ins and outs of this war from friend Ryan. What you do is your choice, and I will not interfere. However, I don't want to see you use this mirror. The hundreds of thousands of wasteland hunters in the city are innocent, and they have nothing to do with this war."
Kiplin's eyes remained unwavering as he said, "If we don't kill these guys, they will surely be a great threat to our Glory City in the future. Today, even if I have to bear a heinous crime, I will not let these people leave alive!"
Kavo shook his head: "No, even if you use this, you can't save the defeat."
"Master, I have made up my mind."
When Kipling heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Even after hearing what Kavo said, his determination to use the [Lavinia's Dead Mirror] was not shaken at all.
He knew very well that in the current situation, unless Cavo's real body sealed in the library came out, there might be some chance of a turnaround, otherwise, they would definitely be defeated today.
It was just a projection, but it clearly showed his stance: he had no intention of taking action.
Kipling understood that this Master Kavo was no longer on the side of their Glorious Kingdom.
In this case, there is no need to reminisce about the past.
Kipling didn't say much, as the magic power surged, and the mirror in his hand was already lit up with black clouds.
The next moment, terror struck.
The palm-sized silver skull mirror suddenly grew larger, like a searchlight, and suddenly emitted beams of grayish white light.
It was this white light that illuminated the Duke's Mansion for a moment, as if adding a hellish filter to the entire space. Everyone felt that everything before their eyes was shrouded in a gloomy, terrifying and desolate atmosphere.
At this moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared.
Because of the battle, the entire Duke's Mansion was already littered with corpses. But when the dim light shone, white "ghosts" suddenly floated out from the corpses!
…
Not far away, Ryan saw this scene and was also shocked: "Huh... the soul actually looks like this!"
The facial features are blurred and translucent, like a thin floating sheet...
Although everyone knows that the soul exists, they were still amazed when they saw the bluish-white shadow floating in the air.
This was the first time everyone saw the existence of the soul.
However, the next second, surprise turned into horror.
In a blink of an eye, those seemingly harmless white "ghosts" floating above the corpses were illuminated by the cold light, and their blurry and dazed facial features suddenly became hideous.
One by one, the white "ghosts" suddenly turned into bloody "evil spirits"!
These evil spirits were like awakened beasts, running around wildly under the cold light of the skull silver mirror.
This is the moment when the "evil spirit" awakens.
Ryan only felt a dense and sharp scream coming from his ears, which hurt his eardrums.
But the strange thing was that the system showed that his eardrum did not receive any sound produced by vibration, but he heard the sharp scream in his perception.
He understood that this was the legendary "evil spirit's scream", a kind of mental attack.
The system also sent a danger warning: [Warning! Being corroded by mental power...]
At this moment, thousands of evil spirits swarmed around and rushed towards the living people present at an extremely fast speed!
The "bloody evil spirit" ignored obstacles and went straight through the floor, searching for living people.
Coincidentally, several evil spirits came towards Ryan and his companions.
Even if they reacted in time, both the lightning damage and physical attacks were completely ineffective.
The evil spirit passed through instantly, and then... ran away screaming?
Ryan just felt a little dizzy, and nothing else was unusual.
Looking again, the system prompts: [Ding! Please note, you have been attacked by unknown energy, and your mental strength has weakened by 0.07%...]
Is this a soul-scraping attack?
Obviously, the capabilities of this "evil spirit" are far more than that.
The evil spirits did not cause any harm to high-level transcendents like Ryan. But the evil spirits that attacked the first-level transcendents and the seriously injured killed them directly. Moreover, the evil spirits that killed people passed through their bodies, as if they were full, and their bodies became visibly fatter.
Ryan also understood: "The evil spirit can only attack the first-level extraordinary for the time being?"
Almost all the Coleman warriors present were not affected because their extraordinary ranks were high enough.
However, there were a large number of low-level transcendents in the army of Glory City. Thousands of them fell in this round of attack.
There were no wounds on the body, and the soul had been devoured by the evil spirit.
This method is deadly and even more terrifying.
Evil spirits have always been the protagonists in horror stories. Now that they appeared in front of living people, the morale of the Knights of Glory City collapsed instantly.
Shields are useless, armor is useless, mechas are useless...
The knights of Glory City, whose mentality had already been broken by the Black Dragon City's Vine Armor Army, were broken by the appearance of the evil spirits, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After helplessly watching thousands of people die, the knights could no longer stay assembled and scattered, fleeing madly towards the lower level of the mechanical city.
“Ah… help!”
“I don’t want to die…”
“…”
Everyone could see that King Kipling had used this indiscriminate attack, probably to perish together. The king had already treated them as abandoned pawns, and anyone who continued to work for him would be a fool.
Naturally, the evil spirit transformed by this mirror cannot only harm first-level extraordinary people.
The thousands of evil spirits that had killed people became larger and bloodier. Not only did they continue to hurt people, they also devoured each other. In just one or two breaths, several large evil spirits evolved and were able to kill a second-level extraordinary person.
Evil spirits can devour and advance.
Ryan looked at the tragic scene in front of him with a serious expression: "This mirror is really evil... If you really can't escape, it will eventually evolve into an evil spirit that can kill the fifth level or even the legendary extraordinary."
The barrier blocks the road, and [Lavinia's Undead Mirror] creates evil spirits to kill people. This is the last resort of King Kipling.
Kipling used this evil magic weapon. I don’t know if he can escape, but hundreds of thousands of people in the city are probably dead.
After all, it was the choice of their own king. Although the high-ranking warriors of Glory City were sad, they did not say anything. If they could kill these people from "Black Dragon City" here, it would be considered a contribution to their family descendants.
However, those "foreign players" were not so happy.
"Kipling, are you crazy?"
"Damn it, you even plotted against us!"
“…”
Even the [Black Witch] Dia Vanilla, who was hiding in the vines, roared angrily.
This is totally different from the plan mentioned before.
The evil spirits killed people in an instant. They penetrated the steel partitions without any hindrance, rushed into the bottom floor of the mechanical city, and began to kill crazily.
“Help…”
"Open the city gate quickly and let us out..."
“…”
However, the mechanical city has been sealed off by a barrier, and no one can get out.
For a moment, there were howls of fear everywhere.
Panic quickly spread throughout the city.
If it were any other force, they would probably be trapped here to death tonight.
However, not to mention that this magic barrier cannot trap the people from Black Dragon City, there is also a Master Kavo here.
…
Kavo watched Kipling make the most disappointing decision and sighed, "Kipling, I have watched you grow up. I know that my persuasion will not change your mind. But no matter what, you should not implicate hundreds of thousands of innocent people. You did this not to protect the City of Glory, but only to protect your right to rule..."
Kipling was completely unmoved.
For him, there is nothing wrong with this.
If it weren't for his Winster family ruling the Glorious Kingdom, what would the great Glorious City have to do with him?
Cavo added: "This is the last thing I will do for Glory City. From now on, I, Cavo Ramirez, will have nothing to do with Glory City... with you all!"
Hearing this, Kipling's face suddenly changed as he thought of something.
Because at this time, he looked up and found that the light blue sealing barrier was disappearing.
"Old man...you!"
He staggered and almost lost his balance.
He understood instantly that Kavo had actually broken the barrier that he had spent so much effort to set up.
There is no barrier to seal the city, which means that the people in the city can escape, and before the evil spirits become stronger, the enemies of the Black Dragon City can also escape!
No, not running away, they will definitely kill me!
In this moment of distraction, the eight magic towers in the mechanical city instantly shut down, and the light blue curtain suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, the residents of the city also discovered this.
"Look, the barrier is broken!"
"Run! The evil spirit is chasing us!"
“…”
The rampaging evil spirits have frightened the city defense forces silly. At this moment, no one dares to stop the tens of thousands of scavengers and residents from attacking the city gates.
The city gate opened and everyone in the mechanical city rushed out frantically.
While the evil spirits were traveling through the mechanical city , in a small room in an inn, a black cat was pacing anxiously in the room, waiting.
This black cat is naturally Naretta.
When Guy went out, he told her not to run around and that she should wait here.
But as she heard the noise outside getting louder and louder, she became worried.
Suddenly, she sniffed and seemed to smell something very pleasant, and a look of doubt appeared on the cat's face.
At this moment, a red evil spirit came through the wall.
The cat, the evil spirit, hits the mark.
Both sides were a little scared.
The evil spirit seemed to have sensed the danger and instinctively wanted to escape, turning into the wall.
But at this moment, a black shadow came over like lightning and pressed it down.
Naretta didn't know why she tried to catch this thing, but when she saw it running, she pounced on it like a conditioned reflex.
This time, he actually stepped on it and it stuck.
The beautiful amber cat eyes looked at the evil spirit under her feet. Her mind told her that this red thing was not food, but some instinct in her blood made her drool...
Then think about it and try taking a bite.
Hmm…
Unexpectedly delicious!
Soft , like marshmallow.
One bite and I felt refreshed.
She took another bite, and the evil spirit was chewed up whole.
Wow...it’s so delicious.
Natasha felt like she had eaten her favorite food of her life.
She turned into a black cat's nose and sniffed , seeming to smell more "delicious" smells.
Hearing that there seemed to be no sound of living people in the city, she thought about it and jumped out of the window carefully.
…
As soon as the barrier was broken, thousands of flying dragons in the sky rushed into the attack range again.
Once the flying dragon army joined, the war was no longer a suspense.
The Glorious City has been defeated.
Seeing the barrier open, not only did all the free hunters flee, but the army also began to flee, as well as various foreign aids...
[Black Witch] Dia Vanilla broke away from the vines and wanted to escape quietly, but she couldn't escape Elder Coleman's lock on her breath and was tracked all the way.
Grandmaster Rocky Refar also ran away quickly, and Bazel and several high-level Coleman warriors chased after him...
escape?
These powerful individuals who were the focus of attention had already been tracked down by the Flying Dragon Legion and the Blue-tailed Eagles in the sky and had nowhere to escape.
The distraught Kipling stood blankly in the ruined Duke's Palace, while behind him, there were several loyal old wizards and guards who were still holding on.
"Your Majesty, go ahead, we will cover you!"
When Kipling heard this, he shook his head and did not choose to leave.
The plan, which was originally well-connected, turned out to be such a complete failure from beginning to end.
In order to deal with the few "fish that slipped through the net", he felt that he had made enough preparations.
But unexpectedly, the enemy's strength was far beyond expectations.
The flying dragons and the rattan armor army were so terrifying that they seemed to not belong to this era at all. If he didn't kill them now, he would not be able to think of any way to deal with this invincible army in the future.
At this moment, all kinds of doubts suddenly came to my mind.
How did so many barbarians survive in the Black Tide?
Where did they find these flying dragons?
How are they involved with the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" and Princess Omar?
Where exactly is this “Black Dragon City”?
Although he couldn't figure it out, reality didn't give him any extra time to think about it.
On the opposite side, the ridiculously powerful barbarian witch priest was approaching.
Today, he is dead.
It's all over.
The original purpose of using the magic weapon [Lavinia's Undead Mirror] was to serve as a backup plan, and it must succeed!
But I never expected that all my efforts would end in failure.
This also left a huge hidden danger for the unstable "Glorious Kingdom"...
At this moment, an arrow pierced through Kipling's body and pierced into his chest.
At this moment, he clearly felt the rapid passage of life.
Are you going to die?
Kipling still missed his power and thought of the king of his glorious kingdom.
I just can't accept it.
The Glorious City now has everything and can clearly become the Third Reich.
When he was dying, he seemed to hear the voice that had echoed in his ears for countless nights: "Dedicate your faith, you will gain the power of the great 'Jaliyad God', and you will gain everything."
Kipling once knew that this was a taboo and dared not touch it.
But now... nothing is more important than life.
He had no choice but to take out a white jade statue, kneel down devoutly, and murmur: "Great 'Jaliyad God', please give me strength, I am willing to dedicate my faith..."
This statue looks like a human, but it is not one of the "72 Gods". It also has a vertical eye on its forehead.
In the distance, Ryan kept an eye on this desperate guy.
Such a strong man cannot be careless even at the last moment of his life.
I thought he would resort to some means of "self-destruction", but unexpectedly, he took out a statue and knelt down.
"Three-eyed tribe?"
He recognized it at a glance. This was the race recorded in the temple murals that once defeated the Black Emperor Moises!
What kind of operation is this, to temporarily worship the statue of God?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Ryan didn't understand the meaning of Kipling's move, but Kavo's face changed drastically not far away, and he blurted out: "Forbidden method... evil god belief!"
