Chapter 3051 Battle of Changqiao
The purple-black light did not condense into a beam and shoot towards the team, but formed a wave that swept across the front of the stone bridge. Wherever the wave passed, even the air turned purple-black, and the fortune-tellers who realized what was happening used the same magic almost at the same time:
"Thaumatology - Anti-death barrier!"
The translucent shield enveloped everyone before the purple-black ripples arrived. When the ripples from the front touched the shield, everyone heard wails that sounded like the last curse of a dying person. But if you listened carefully, you could tell that the wails formed a chilling tune.
In the void, there seemed to be countless undead with their lower bodies in the shape of smoke, scratching at the outside of the shield. Although the shield was rippling, it fortunately held up in the end.
"This is an ancient elf secret art - Prelude to the Dead, commonly seen in elven tombs or hidden holy places in the Third Age and earlier. If you are exposed to the range of this secret art without protection, you will be judged to be dead every six seconds, and each judgment will become more difficult. Theoretically, no one below the thirteenth ring can survive until the seventh round. We haven't done anything yet. Someone has activated the defense of the ruins from the inside, but the interior of the ruins will definitely not be affected."
Miss Orlanod's voice rang out from the center of the crowd, and Shade asked without even turning his head:
"How long can the anti-death barrier last?"
The two fortune tellers sent by the Prophet Association were an old gentleman with a white beard and eleventh ring, and a middle-aged woman with a black flower pinned on her ear, the latter of whom only had tenth ring. So although the three of them cast the spell together, it was obvious that the twelfth-level Witch of Fate was the main force:
"Five minutes should be no problem, but we still need to get into the ruins as soon as possible."
Shade then raised the [Angel's Right Arm] forward, Mr. Gerard Delon made the five metal spheres floating around him disperse and transform into thin needles, and Mr. Eldron also drew out the sword hanging from his waist.
As the three people standing at the front of the team marched forward together to the funeral song of the elves, the enemies hiding in the darkness finally appeared.
The constructed puppets guarding the ruins poured out from the gate and rushed towards the crowd along the stone bridge; on the cliff high above their heads, thousands of red eyes opened, and then the inferior bat demons borrowed by the [Crow Club] with mixed blood of unknown creatures swooped down; under the stone bridge, large groups of ghouls raised by the [Tyranny Club] climbed onto the stone bridge piers and came to the bridge surface; and in the darkness on both sides of the stone bridge, the [Tree Hole Association] used secret methods to summon the time remnants that were almost wandering souls, which floated towards the bridge with calls.
All of these enemies were able to resist the instant death effect, and they rushed towards the group in the transparent shield from all directions in the purple-black air.
The three people charging in the front have now met the group of zombies climbing out from the bottom of the bridge. The light of the silver moon illuminates the following scene. The group of zombies are like encountering a meat grinder. At the same time that broken limbs and body parts fall from both sides of the stone bridge, the team plunges into these undead.
All kinds of magic were used to bombard the bat demons with infernal blood. The spells to dispel the undead were also effective against the ghosts of the time echoes. When the ancient elves' constructed puppets squeezed into the tide of ghouls and were less than twenty meters away from the team, the thirteen puppets raised their hands together, and twenty-six lightning chains struck the team from the fingers of those ancient puppets.
Most of the "Lightning Chain" attack spells will have a ricochet effect on more targets around them once they hit the target, so they are a very good killing choice for a group of people. However, Shade in the front row of the team immediately took off and turned in the air, and the dense lightning was immediately returned.
The swarm of zombies that had completely covered the bridge surface blocked the returning lightning. Louder and louder roars echoed in the hollow underground darkness. The charred and paralyzed zombies were soon pushed into the abyss as the team advanced.
However, those construct puppets made of unknown ancient alloys did not choose to engage in close combat with the team's front-row vanguards. As the elven runes on their bodies lit up, they each transformed into different pure elemental forms. As the advancing team advanced in the sea of ghouls, the construct puppets retreated, always maintaining a distance of twenty meters to perform different elemental radiation abilities, and were then blocked one after another by Shade's Hiton Seal.
In a flash, the surging enemies overwhelmed the team, but amid the roar of the explosion, countless monsters fell into the abyss under the bridge. The moonlight illuminated the people in the anti-death barrier, and the long-range attacks were blocked by the moonlight shield of Miss Orlanod in the center of the team.
All the enemies coming from the front, back, left, right and sky were dealt with, and the three people at the front of the team faced the greatest pressure. However, the two genuine Thirteen Rings and Xia De were still able to move forward steadily despite those enemies who seemed completely crazy.
Xia De was very glad that all the enemies that appeared now were restrained by his own strength, otherwise the two people nearby would probably be able to easily see what his strength was.
The silver blades of light slashed by Shade on the left wing of the vanguard could only advance ten meters each time, and then the enemies slashed within ten meters would be drowned in the tide of his companions. While holding the sword in his right hand, his left hand continuously blasted fireballs forward. Limbs and flesh flew everywhere in the rumbling explosion, but this sound was perfectly integrated into the funeral song of the elves;
The slender brass needles in the center of the vanguard made no sound when they flew past Mr. Gerard Delon's ears, but wherever those needles with exorcism runes passed, large numbers of undead and demons fell headlong into the abyss. The gentleman himself held a brass stick without any decorations, and led the team forward as the core;
The elven swordsmanship of Mr. Elderon, the Lord of the Valley, is more simple and steady than Emilia's sword dance. He wears an unknown angel-level relic ring on his finger, which gives his sword the power of wind. The invisible wind blows along with the sword, constantly pushing away the endless stream of enemies from around the team, so that no one will face a situation of one against a hundred.
Emilia held the [Ocarina of Time] in one hand while Miss Orlanod held the other. The ancient witch who was in charge of the defense would occasionally raise her hand to cast secret spells upwards to disperse the enemies, but the elf really did nothing.
She was asked to stay alert to face the "watchmaker", so she could only follow the team step by step. The hand held by Miss Orlanod had become sweaty without knowing when, which made her very embarrassed.
She was not worried at all about being surrounded on all sides. She felt safe with everyone around her. Moreover, she had seen bigger scenes when she followed the dragon maids to "purchase" food ingredients all over the world in the Fifth Epoch.
Looking down at the ground, the ground was covered with black blood and traces of flesh and blood burned into the cracks of the bricks. As the team moved forward, the three leading people were very careful to push all the corpses on the road into the abyss, so the people who followed only walked on the dirty ground instead of in the sea of blood and corpses.
“Without you all, would I have been able to get this far on my own?”
She asked herself in her heart, and then turned to look at the [Elf Kingship] on her arm. It seemed that as the group approached the temple at the end of the stone bridge, the silver crown was glowing slightly.
Shade cooperated very well with the two thirteenth-ring warlocks, and the team with three people as the vanguard reached the middle of the bridge in just over a minute.
Afterwards, the thirteen constructed puppets from inside the ruins finally stopped maintaining their semi-elemental state for long-range attacks. Instead, after regaining their physical form, they took out their weapons from their bodies and rushed towards the team with the tide of monsters.
No one knows what technology these ancient elves used to create their puppets, but they are extremely resistant to spells and magical attacks. Even Shade's "Chaos Residue" can only barely soften the metal on their surface.
The constructed puppets joined the team, blocking the team's forward momentum like a dam blocking the tide. In a blink of an eye, the three leading people started a melee with the puppets, and when Mr. Elderon threw one of the puppets off the bridge and the other flew back, everyone knew that things were starting to get bad.
The reason why the flanks and rear have less pressure than the front is that the team rushes fast enough so that the enemies not in the front cannot form a real continuous tide. The rear has the least pressure because the corpses constantly created in the rear will cause great obstacles to the enemies following from the rear.
But once the team stopped, the pressure from the left, right and back suddenly increased. Shade and the other two also knew this, so even if they could not destroy the puppets for the time being, they were trying to lead the team forward while fighting. Shade's idea was to find the right opportunity to paralyze one or two of the puppets with [Chains of Sin], while Mr. Eldron recalled how to control this ancient elven puppet, and Mr. Gerard Delong tried to assimilate them with his own mechanical parts.
Seeing that the three vanguards were unable to defeat the constructs in a short period of time without damaging the stone bridge itself, Miss Orlanod wanted to let go of Emilia's hand and go to help, but Emilia stood up before her.
The little elf solemnly put the crown on her head. Her heartbeat was speeding up because she didn't know if this was feasible. Therefore, she could only keep telling herself to be confident. Then she tried to make her voice louder, slightly activated the power of the crown on her head to change the color of her hair, and then shouted to the front:
"Why are you trying to stop me? You won't even respect me, the Elf King?" (Ancient Elf)
