Chapter 1234 1221. The tree on the altar
Naomi followed behind Aphrodite. They stood at the entrance of the cave, watching a large group of heavy armored infantry soldiers follow Suldak into the cave.
Just when she was about to summon a few skeleton warriors to guard her and rush into the cave together, she did not expect Aphrodite to hold her back...
Naomi was wearing a thick cloak, and the hood covered her entire face. She turned her head and raised her face slightly. Her pale eyes revealed tiny pupils like pinholes. She stared suspiciously at Aphrodite.
"We can stand behind him and help him, but not now, unless you don't care about your image and tell everyone who you are." Aphrodite stood aside and whispered, and then she pulled Naomi's skin and flesh a little loose arm, continued:
"Let's go, let's cultivate them and go in together to see what is hidden in this research institute..."
Seeing Aphrodite like this, Naomi dissipated the continuously gathering magical aura, and followed these heavy armored infantry soldiers into the cave together.
When entering the cave, almost every heavy armored infantry soldier had a pine oil torch in his hand. They inserted these torches on the cave wall one by one. Light up a torch to illuminate the dark cave.
Suldak charged at the front of the team with a sword and shield in hand. The black mages in the cave didn't even expect that the other party would rush in from outside so directly, and the black mages crowded in the cave rushed towards him. Magic is released at the entrance of the cave.
Shadow arrows shot out from the depths of the cave. It was a kind of magic with strong corrosive power, but Suldak, who was walking in the front, raised his shield to meet him, and layers of holy light burst out from the shield. A shadow arrow exploded on the shield, and a layer of holy light flashed on the shield. The impact of the shadow arrow was not large, and the most important corrosion attribute was completely restrained by the holy light. The shadow arrow could not stop Suldak at all. footsteps.
His feet shone with a halo of power, and he held a broadsword in his hand.
The black mages immediately changed their magic skills, water bombs, fireballs, wind blades, and sudden rocks flew densely in the narrow cave.
A team of shield warriors followed behind Suldak, followed by a team of archers, arrows flying randomly in the spell.
Suldak's body shone with the power of the Holy Light, moving forward all the way.
The black mages cast a series of black magic again, death entanglement, shadow arrows, lethargy, and weakness flew over one after another, but they all quickly disintegrated in the holy light.
Siya and Edgar followed behind Suldak. Siya continuously blessed Suldak with a water shield. Edgar held up a large copper-skinned round shield and led a team of shield warriors against the magic in the cave. The bullets rushed forward, and from time to time shield fighters were injured by the bursting fireballs, or fainted under the impact of the water bombs.
But as Suldak approached, the black mage camp panicked.
Until Suldak held up his shield and finally caught up with the last black mage, the chase in the cave tunnel officially kicked off, and the mages who were entangled by the fighters had no threat at all , Their spells need time to brew, and during this time, warriors only need to swing the weapons in their hands to kill the enemies in front of them.
The black mages who were chased up by the shield warriors set up magic shields on their bodies one after another.
The long swords in the hands of the shield warriors cannot cut through these light yellow and light blue magic shields. When the weapons come into contact with the magic shield, circles of halos will always burst out, and then be bounced off by the light shield.
At this time, the black mages threw out the magic in their hands again, causing the shield fighters to suffer a big loss.
Only Suldak stood in the front, and had already beheaded three first-rank black mages in a row.
Aphrodite hid behind the team and secretly cast spells to pierce the magic shields on these black mages. Once the magic shields on these mages were broken, they would be cut down by the shield warriors in a pool of blood.
There were actually not many black mages in this cave. After Suldak defeated the first wave of resisters, the shield fighters did not meet any stubborn mages.
Chase along the cave all the way to the inside of the cave...
…
"Before Dak is in danger, let's follow them secretly." Aphrodite stood in the corner of the cave and whispered to Naomi.
Naomi discovered that Aphrodite was very concealed when she cast spells just now, and the shield warriors around didn't even know who helped them just now.
In short, he rushed into the mountainside in a daze.
Seeing that Aphrodite didn't care much about her at all, Naomi asked curiously, "You really don't reject a necromancer?"
Aphrodite stopped and dragged Naomi aside.
Let the shield fighters blocking the back pass smoothly.
Then he whispered to Naomi: "I am a succubus myself, what right do I have to reject necromancers?"
"And I told you that his combat team... except for a native berserker and a heavy gunner, there are almost no normal people, two-headed ogres, half-elf, and that naga mermaid can only be regarded as a backup team .” Aphrodite secretly complained to Naomi about Suldak.
Naomi didn't know what to say at this moment...
"..."
Aphrodite moved with the large army, and Suldak was always within her sight.
"I've never thought about it that way, I just want to end the rest of my life quietly..."
Naomi thought for a while before answering.
Aphrodite continued to walk forward with Naomi, and some wounded shield warriors were carried out from the front, and Sia had already begun to quickly carry out treatment at the back, too busy to lift her head.
Naomi looked at the chaotic scene and asked Aphrodite:
"Aren't you ready to help him?"
Aphrodite curled her lips and said with great disdain:
"If the opponent doesn't have an opponent of the same level as him to stand up, those black mages will have no chance of winning even if they sacrifice themselves, especially he is a second-rank knight with the power of the Holy Light."
Naomi stared curiously at Suldak's back, and then looked at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite raised her face slightly. In front of this necromancer, she felt confident.
…
Suldak goes through the cave to the interior of the mountain, which is already at the foot of Yezipias Manor.
Sure enough, there is an underground building complex here, and the academic research institute of the Black Magic Priory happened to be built here.
Suldak broke into a cave hall first, and there were many magic experiment tables, many magic notes and magic parchment were scattered around, some glass bottles and jars were overturned, and many magic potions There was acrid smoke on the ground, and most of the test benches were piled up with all kinds of strange materials.
When Suldak broke in, some magic apprentices were still scrambling to pack up the materials on the test bench, and there were many precious magic materials, which were also quickly collected in the magic pocket.
Suldak rushed up, and the team of archers following him squatted down one after another, and began to cover the not-so-big mountainside with arrow rain.
Some persistent magic apprentices collapsed in front of the test bed, and some magic apprentices saw that something was wrong, and slipped into the cave a moment before Suldak rushed in.
The group of infantry soldiers under Edgar quickly occupied the first cave in the mountainside.
After walking a short distance inside, Suldak found an underground courtyard in front of him.
Here, Suldak's pursuing army was once again stubbornly resisted by a group of black magicians.
These magicians are obviously stronger than those in the cave just now.
But just when Suldak felt that there would be a hard fight, the counterattack of the black magicians gradually weakened.
Suldak found a gap, held up his shield and rushed into the underground courtyard. While everything in front of him shocked Suldak, he was also a little dumbfounded...
The roof of this cave is even inlaid with many luminous stones, and the whole cave is brightly illuminated.
In the center of this underground courtyard is an altar eight meters square. There is a statue of a gargoyle in each of the four corners of the altar. The relief on the base is also a gathering of countless demons, as if they are worshiping something.
In the middle of the altar is a dead tree without any leaves, but this big tree seems to be breathing, and the branches are covered with various blood tumors, which looks extremely scary...
All the black mages gathered on this altar, and the big tree full of blood tumors was surrounded by them.
There are also huge blood pools on the left and right sides of the altar. There is a lot of blood condensed in these blood pools. Several tree roots protrude into the blood pool, and all the roots are stained with blood.
A mage stood on the altar with a grim face, his hair was messed up, holding a magic wand in his hand, with a very fanatical expression on his face.
This kind of person is like a fanatical believer. He forced these magic apprentices to commit suicide under the big tree.
"Sacrifice your souls... quickly, before you die, sacrifice your souls to the great tree of desire." The magician waved the wand in his hand, forcing a magic apprentice.
Seeing that the magic apprentice didn't want to commit suicide at all, the magician stepped up and stabbed the magic apprentice with a dagger in his hand.
The magic apprentice let out a horrified wail. He looked at the big tree in disbelief. Countless roots protruded from the trunk to wrap the magic apprentice, not only quickly sucking the flesh and blood of the magic apprentice, but even the magic apprentice The souls were forcibly detained into the big tree.
As the magic apprentice let out a roar of relief, his withered body fell down.
The mad magician continued to say to the big tree: "Quick... please resurrect yourself in the infinite blood and soul!"
On the big tree without any leaves, each of the hematomas hanging from the branches showed strange faces. They wailed in despair and struggled in pain, but the roots were still growing. Strong, still flying freely in mid-air.
