Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 171: Ending Song
The man was in the air, holding the ancient rock machete high up, with incandescent holy flames emitting from the blade, like a small sun emitting dazzling light, illuminating the dark tomb hall.
When the machete chopped down, the holy flame erupted even more violently, issuing a judgment with the power of judgment, covering Portlem under the scorching force of the knife.
But Portram sat on the throne motionless in the face of the knife. He looked at the clear sky with a contemptuous smile on his face. Since this is the royal court of the tomb, as the king here, how could he be forced to dodge such an attack?
The crown on Portlem's head rippled, and the sword slashed down from the clear sky hit a layer of light screen heavily. A loud crash was heard, and the Holy Flame exploded with all its might towards the light screen, but the light screen did not move at all.
"Surrender... You actually know 'The Dark Knight's Finale'. You have successfully aroused my curiosity about you." Through the light screen, Portlem stared at the clear sky: "Tell me all your secrets, and I can forgive your offense to me."
The afterglow of the Holy Flame faded on the light screen, and the clear sky stared at Portlem with its icy eyes: "Unfortunately, I will not forgive your offense against me. Don't think that I can do nothing to you just because you hide in this turtle shell. Since I know how to release the 'Dark Knight's Finale', I naturally know how to release the 'Tomb Chamber'.
Do you think you're really safe hiding in there?"
Clear Sky's words made Portlem's expression stiffen.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how an elf he had never seen before could see the secret technique "The Tomb Court" at a glance and accurately modify "The Dark Knight's Finale".
These two were the ultimate moves that he had perfected after decades of studying the secret arts. There was no one else in this world who could do this except him. Even the other Abyss Apostles only knew the names and did not know the details of the secret language.
How did she do it!
"My secret technique is impeccable! Since you refuse to surrender, I will capture you... I have countless tortures to extract everything I want to know from you."
"Impeccable? You still dare to say such big words at this time. How shameless."
Under the platform, two groups of dark knights were already fighting. Although the number of dark knights transformed by Qingkong was small, the undead were fearless and it would take a lot of effort to destroy them.
"The Dark Knight's End" has been cracked and loopholes have been found. Does "The Tomb Court" really have no weaknesses?
Portlem instantly lost confidence. He looked at the clear sky so close to him. The other person's eyes were like looking at an animal locked in a cage waiting to be slaughtered.
"I'm going to kill you!"
With his confidence shaken, Portlem roared to encourage himself, slamming his hands heavily on the armrests. Three mummies wearing bird-beak masks appeared around the throne.
The mummy was wrapped in a shroud stained with dark red blood, and held a long-handled magic wand in its hand. They chanted difficult spells, and countless crows flew down from the dome of the tomb. The crows' beaks and claws were metallic and extremely sharp.
The crows cawed and gathered into a dark cloud, which then swept towards the clear sky like a gust of black wind.
At this time, drizzle began to fall in this closed tomb. As large patches of ice mist flowers bloomed, the extremely cold air spread, and the drizzle turned into wind and snow. Two Stardust Chenzhan scimitars popped out from the scabbards on Qingkong's back waist. They flew around Qingkong, and the knives turned into two large ice wheels, strangling the crows that rushed down.
The crow's feathers were wet by the rain and then frozen into ice, so it couldn't fly steadily, let alone avoid the ice wheels. The two ice wheels stirred, and the cut crow's limbs mixed with ice and snow fell to the dark knights fighting below.
Qingkong did not pay too much attention to the crows. If he wanted to break the secret technique, he needed to get Portlem off the throne.
He is invincible when he sits on the throne.
According to the normal dungeon process, the player first kills all the summoned dark knights, and then kills the four guardians. At that time, Portlem will leave the throne, and the defense will be converted into attack power. However, no matter how high the attack power is, it will eventually be the soul of the dead under the player's knife.
It was just that the time and location of this instance were wrong. In this undead maze, Portlem had more undead that could be transformed into dark knights. The number of dark knights had increased five times more than normal. The platform was full of dark knights. Their war horses could not charge and they just slashed in place.
As the difficulty increases, Portlem will not sit idly by and watch his dark knights and guardians die before taking action.
Therefore, if you want to kill Portlem quickly, you need to use some operations.
First, attack the throne to scare Portlem and make him summon the guardian mummy. The reason why there are only three of them is that they are not undead, but abyss mages who follow Portlem. One of the abyss mages was just killed by sandpaper.
Originally there were four mummies working together to release magic, but now there are only three, and the power has been greatly reduced, so Qingkong felt a lot more relaxed.
The ice wheel in the air was still strangling the crows, and the three mummies jointly released another magic. Three fire snakes broke out from the ground in front of them. The bodies of the fire snakes were half a meter thick. They stretched their heads out and spit fireballs at Qingkong. When Qingkong dodged the fireballs, a snake tail would suddenly emerge from the ground beside her and whip her.
Qingkong used her body movements and teleportation to dodge the fire snakes' attacks, and killed one whenever she had the chance. Throughout the whole process, Qingkong was passively defensive, she did not attack Portlem, nor did she even attack the three mummies.
The fight below the platform was very intense, with dark knights fighting against dark knights, leaving no room for maneuvers in the entire hall. Sandpaper and the others were also passively involved in the fight, and they cleverly retreated to a corner, defending themselves against two walls.
Boiling stood at the front holding a double-edged sword. He was taller than the Dark Knight on horseback, and his two swords could cut a man and his horse in two. Sandpaper and Red Falcon floated in the air to guard Boiling on both sides, allowing Boiling to concentrate on dealing with the enemies in front.
Bruce Ban stood on the innermost side, using magic to provide fire support for the three main attacking forces.
Abyss Leopard Sally can deal with a Dark Knight calmly. She relies on her agility to move quickly and return quickly, not seeking to achieve anything but to avoid making mistakes.
Even the undead Lemondo who came with him revealed his true form, with more than ten vines extending from the wall, and human hands attached to the vines. Although his attack was like an itch to the Dark Knight, it was better than nothing.
Qingkong took the opportunity to glance at his companions and thought that they could hold on for a while longer, so he focused his attention back on his own battle.
She observed the movements of the mummy guardians, judging what kind of spell they were about to cast. She waited for an opportunity...
Finally, the familiar movements appeared, waiting for the secret technique to be released.
The three mummies thrust their staffs into the ground together, and formed a mystical seal with their fingers. Clear Sky instantly moved out of Portlem's sight, withdrew his machete, and formed the same seal with both hands.
"Secret Technique: Sinking into the Abyss."
A magic pattern spread from the throne to the entire tomb space, and an atmosphere of fear filled the entire space.
The Dark Knights seemed to continue fighting without any impact, while Sandpaper and the others were briefly stunned. Sandpaper and Red Falcon saw Professor Greyfarry at the same time, standing in the middle of the empty hall and looking at them.
Since Qingkong killed Greyfarli last time, Sandpaper hadn't seen him for a long time. Fear surged in her heart, and Sandpaper instinctively turned her eyes away, looking at Qingkong on the platform.
My courage returned instantly.
Although Sandpaper still didn't dare to look directly at Greyfarry, and couldn't see the Dark Knight, her strong perception allowed her to know the Dark Knight's location. Sandpaper was not affected, and Boiling continued to kill.
Hong Falcon was also very affected. Her subconscious fear of Greyfarry made her stop moving. She wanted to hide... but the emergency system of the brain transformation device immediately suppressed her memory. After Boiling helped her resist the attack for a while, Hong Falcon was also freed from the fear illusion.
Bruce Ban, who has no special abilities, is truly trapped in this powerful illusion.
Bruce Ban stood there, stopping all his movements, his mind locked in the illusion. All his negative emotions were aroused, and the grievances he had suffered over the years reappeared and were constantly magnified.
"Cowardly Bruce!"
"How can you be so stupid!"
"You will never achieve anything in this field. Give up."
"A good discussion has been ruined by you. You are really annoying. Bruce...stay away from us!"
Then Bruce Ban felt like he was locked up in a dark room, with countless mocking words in his ears.
This can't be true!
Bruce Ban, who was trapped in the darkness, kept warning himself that he was under an illusion. Professor Qingkong reminded himself that he must be careful of the attack of illusion.
Thinking of Qingkong...In the darkness, Professor Qingkong stood in front of him.
"Bruce Ban, you have an evil heart. I have been observing you and preparing to kill you." Qingkong drew out his scimitar: "Now you have thrown yourself into the abyss. I will take your life."
"No, Professor Qingkong, I didn't jump into the abyss. No... no... these are illusions. I was trapped in an illusion. Professor Qingkong, don't kill me..."
Bruce Ben begged, he was a little unsure whether this was an illusion or reality.
Qingkong walked over step by step. She stretched out her hand, and the Book of Disaster floated in her palm. "I know you have always coveted the Book of Disaster. You want to get it, control it, and create a great secret art. Your idea is very dangerous. Only by killing you can we stop the spread of the abyss."
"Professor Qingkong, please listen to my explanation. I want to get the Book of Disasters, but I have never thought of getting it from you by improper means. I will study the secret arts hard, and I will find a way to safely use the power of the Book of Disasters.
I don't want to throw myself into the abyss, I want to control the abyss. I can prove to you that any power can be controlled."
…
Bruce Ban fell into an illusion and revealed his ambition in the occult to Qingkong.
There is another person in the entire tomb hall who is affected by the illusion.
Portlem saw that all the Dark Knights he summoned were killed. It was Qingkong who did it. Not only did she kill all of her Dark Knights, she also released the "Dark Knight's Finale" once again.
Now the four walls of the tomb hall flipped over again, and countless dark knights controlled by Qingkong rushed up like a tide.
The three mummy guardians who were guarding her were also dead. It was Qingkong who did it. Not only did she kill her own guardians, she also turned the people she brought with her into mummies.
Amid the Dark Knight and the Mummy's supporters, Qingkong walked to the front of the throne. The light screen did not play any role. She walked through the light screen and reached out to take off the crown on her head.
She put the crown on her head and said to herself like a king descending: "I am the king of this tomb court!"
Seeing Qingkong raising his machete and slashing down, Portlem hurriedly dodged.
At this moment, the abyss energy allowed him to see through the illusion. Although the time between being under the illusion and breaking it was very short, his butt had already left the throne. Just as Portlem quickly sat down again, his throne instantly shattered.
He felt someone approaching from behind him. He wanted to dodge, but his body was out of control. It was as if there was a force in time that pinned him to a point in time. The force was very strong. Portlem didn't know what was behind him, but he knew it was something he couldn't match.
Even when facing Victor, he couldn't feel the difference in strength at this time.
Who is it? Who is behind me!
The destruction of the secret technique and the sudden appearance of a powerful being made Portlem completely confused. He couldn't muster the strength to resist, and under the huge pressure behind him, he felt like a lamb under the guillotine.
Just waiting for the knife to fall.
In just a few seconds, Portlem felt as if more than a hundred years had passed. He recalled his life, showing his talents in the Mystic Department of Oulu College; following his companions to establish the Abyss Secret House; resisting the college's ban on esoteric research; leaving Oulu College with other Abyss Envoys to establish the Abyss Temple...
I have been pursuing greater power all my life.
And at this moment, that power is behind him.
Portlem felt the blade approaching his neck. He tried his best to look back, wanting to see what the peak he had been striving to reach all his life looked like.
He saw...
It’s her!
She is so strong!
In Portlem's eyes, his vision turned and he saw who killed him.
It's the elf clear sky.
She knew all of his secrets, how to modify The Dark Knight's End, how to break into The Court of the Tomb. She had been playing with herself from the beginning, like a cat playing with a mouse.
She knows everything, she controls everything, is this the level of power that is there?
Portlem's head rolled down the stairs with a smile on his face.
