Returning from the abyss

Chapter 495 Rumble
Even in normal times, it still takes a few hours to walk from the outer area to the Violet Library, not to mention the monsters released by burning books and the burning officials hiding in the dark along the way now.

According to Wu Meng, these book burning officials are not pure lunatics at all, they are intercepting all travellers, but they ignore those who are hiding at home.And as more people realize this, fewer and fewer people choose to play safe instead of stepping up to help Ewalon.Except for the guards and other military forces who are still fighting now, I am afraid that only the loyalists of Ewalong are left.

But at this time when even the gods cannot guarantee loyalty, how many people in Ewalong, who is not even a country, are willing to die for it?

"Look, this is the most realistic result." Heinz stood on a high place, pointing his sword around, "How much benefit has been given to them by Avalon, but now no one has responded. Whether it is a student, a teacher or those who have never Those who benefit from here regard this place as a place where it doesn't matter how it changes."

"Isn't that right?"

"It's not right." Heinz glanced at the subordinates around him, "When something happens, you always count on the top few powerful protectors to take action, but you don't have any strong will at all. Such people are not what the future of magic needs. .”

"The price of awakening... is a bit tragic."

"At least there are still people running, and there are still people who are resisting the book-burning officer. The souls lodged in the burned magic books are releasing their last strength, but this is not enough, far from enough." Heinz jumped and stood in the air.

"Notify Gascoigne for the final book burning."

Not long after this order was issued, Lu Ning and the others saw flames rising into the sky from four directions in Ewalang.

"The book burning is going on again, isn't that enough? Damn it!" Wumeng yelled, and Orris' expression became more serious.

"Never mind, if we deal with these matters, we won't be able to get close to the Violet Library." White Rose stomped off a rotten hand protruding from the soil, and ran over without stopping, "No matter what they do , we all have to let the emperor come forward. We people can't fight head-to-head."

"It doesn't look that easy." Lu Ning frowned slightly. There was a small square in front of them, and there was only one person on the seat in this square, wearing a sky blue burqa and a military cap. , holding a revolver-style pistol in his left hand and a cavalier gun in his right, sitting on a bench.

"It's the Book Burning Officer!" Wu Meng stopped immediately, turned his head and was about to walk into the alley next to him, but Lu Ning, Bai Meigui, and Orris all kept walking, directly facing the burning book. The officer rushed up.

The knight spear plunged into the ground, stirring up the slate and dust, and the slate dissociated into elements in the air, instantly forming a thunder net.The book burning officer stood up from the bench, let out a wild laugh, and greeted him.His gun collided violently with the weapon behind the thunder net, shocking the people behind him a step back, but when the lightning dissipated, there was only Orris alone.

The ground trembled, the soil bulged, and a huge earthworm came out of the ground all the time, changing back into the appearance of a white rose in mid-air, and three darts were thrown at the back of the book burning officer in an instant.As the book burning officer yelled, the magic shield covered him, blocking the three darts, but the ground collapsed in the next second, and at the same time, countless blue-green flames spewed out from the ground, engulfing him in an instant !
Lu Ning turned over and rolled out from the exit, wiped the dust off her face, and then gave a high-five to the white rose that fell to the ground.

"I can't do it."

"Sure enough, this can only be a greeting."

The two had just exchanged opinions when four stone walls rose from the submerged ground, and the book burning official stood on one of them, even his clothes were not damaged.He sneered and raised the revolver in his hand.

Lu Ning threw out a few alchemy bombs with a backhand, and the book burning officer volleyed several shots to blow up all the bombs, and then threw the bullet casings away.But he didn't have time to reload, because Orris had already jumped up from behind, drawing two scimitars with both hands and attacking from behind.

The book burning officer turned his head immediately, and the knight's gun swept out. At the same time, the other hand threw the revolver into the sky, holding up a blue flame.

"Be careful of him burning books!" Wumeng shouted from a distance.

But the book burning officer had already been very proficient in his movements. He left the blue flame in the air, reached out and took out a roll of paper pages from the leather pouch at his waist, and threw it into the flames.A powerful wave of magic power gushed out from the fireball, and instantly attached a layer of flame to the knight's gun.

Orris twisted his body in the air, and suddenly opened his mouth. A black arrow was spit out from his mouth, and it was hitting the gun with blue flames surging. The black arrow was so powerful that the actions of the burning book officer stopped immediately. .At this moment, Bai Meigui stepped onto the dirt wall in two steps, and pulled out the dagger with her backhand to cut at his leg.

"Humph!"

The magic power surged, and the book burning officer instantly detonated all the magic power in the blue fireball, shaking the two of them away, stretched out his hand to copy the revolver that fell in the air, and loaded the bullet.

"The level of the great magister, not the emperor." Bai Meigui smiled, "It's just rubbings that are burned. You are much weaker than we thought."

The book burning officer didn't answer, but just threw out a second fireball.

"Lilian!"

"Ready." Lu Ning responded, and the white rose flashed to the side, and a beam of white light came from behind her directly towards the burning book official. The white light was gradually turning scarlet as it approached. He was startled, but he had no time to dodge, so he raised his knight spear to block the blow.

There was a "z" sound like a hot iron, and the huge knight's gun instantly became red-hot. Although the book burner did block the blow, a large sunken hole was burned out of the knight's gun.

The book burning officer and Lu Ning let out a "huh" at the same time.

And at this moment, Bai Meigui's body, which was originally dodging to the side, suddenly flung back, as if being dragged back by something, and rushed towards the book burning officer's face.The book-burning officer immediately raised his pistol and pointed it at Bai Meigui's forehead and fired several times, but only exploded a layer of camouflaged skin, and the big snake rushed out of "White Rose"'s body, and a bite came from the book-burning officer's arm. He bit off a piece of meat, then fell behind the wall next to him, rolled on the spot, and recovered the body of White Rose.

"Hmm..." The book burning officer pressed his arm, but he didn't yell. He threw the half-used knight's gun aside and put his hand into the bag again, but Orris was approaching from behind again. In such a state, he could only give up burning the book, but raised his hand and blasted a lightning spell, forcing Orris back.

"White Rose, have you been poisoned?" Lu Ning was far away, drawing a magic circle with her fingers in the air, and retreated while drawing, while White Rose wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and grinned: "Of course it is highly poisonous."

Magic does not directly provide immunity to poison, even a great magister has to use antidote and antidote spells.But will these people give him a chance now?
"Your strength..."

"Is something wrong? Is it too late to realize it now?" Lu Ning raised a smile and raised her hand a little far away. A dozen coherent three-dimensional magic circles shone in midair, and a blue-purple flame burst from the magic circle. It was shot out like an artillery bombardment. This time, the book burning officer had been prepared, jumped off the wall, and at the same time threw the whole skin into the blue fireball.

"You haven't learned your lesson yet."

When the flame approached the position of the book burning officer, it suddenly spread and turned into a high-temperature flame like the breath of a dragon.The Book Burning Officer hurriedly propped up the magic shield again, but this time the magic shield only lasted for about three or four seconds before it shattered, and he was still covered in flames.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The book burning officer, who was supposed to be tortured by toxins and flames, laughed loudly: "Interesting! Interesting!"

With a gunshot, the book burner's arm broke from his shoulder, and it fell to the ground with a lot of flames and toxins, burning blazingly. After he used the pistol, he threw the pistol away and pulled the gun on his head. Hat, staring at Lu Ning.

"Little girl, the skills you use don't match your own."

"As expected of a great magister."

"I've been dealing with these things all my life." The Book Burning Officer raised his only arm, and the fireball from the sky fell into his hand, "Then there's nothing else to say, I will kill you, or be killed by you. "

"The result will only be the latter."

With a flip of Lu Ning's wrist, brilliant colored light was released from her palm, and quickly turned into five gemstones. The light was refracted by these gemstones and was immediately dyed in different colors, condensing into a high-energy magic ray and hitting the book burning officer. .

"Good come!"

As the book burning official shouted angrily, he rushed directly towards Lu Ning with a blue flame in one hand. The speed was so fast that no one else could react. The magic ray left several wounds on the book burning official. But none hit the fatal part.

boom!
His fist hit the suddenly erected ice wall, which was transformed from a gemstone, and Lu Ning walked out from behind the wall. At this time, the burning book official's arms and flames were frozen by the ice. It didn't take long to go up and break through, but in the end all the momentum was lost.

"People who are greedy for power..."

"You have no right to criticize others. Your own evil deeds are far greater than this." Lu Ning rotated the remaining four gems around her, "Burning books is an act of using magic books and rubbings as one-time consumables. , What else can it be but waste? There will always be dangerous goods in the world, and those who are really capable will know how to use them safely."

"Do you want to talk about you?" The book burning officer snorted coldly, and shattered the shattered ice with his hands. "Many people who are as confident as you end up not so well."

"I have my way, but I know it's not safe. But—I'm stronger than you now, this is the simplest fighting principle."

A gemstone exploded in front of Lu Ning, and the world instantly turned into a dark color. Everyone, including the book burner, was dazzled by the change, and the next second the book burner flew out.

"This guy's combat awareness is really extraordinary..."

Lu Ning also took a step back, and quickly dispelled the blue flame on her arm. This kind of flame has a strong erosion effect on magic, but fortunately, it is not very strong if no one controls it.The spell she just used could slow down everyone's subjective consciousness, but unexpectedly, the book burner launched an instinctive counterattack while being attacked.

Even so, the situation of the book burning officer is not very good now. His burqa has been torn, his military cap has been blown off, and some gray hair is scattered. This is a very old magician.

He got up from the ground, his body shook slightly, and his gaze like a falcon stared at Lu Ning again.

"You will regret this."

"No, people don't regret things that they are mentally prepared for, at least I don't."

Lu Ning stretched out her finger and flicked a red gemstone towards the book burning officer.

At the same time, the Book Burning Officer shouted loudly and punched out. His hand broke from his wrist, and with the magical power to burn all the rubbings of the magic book, he smashed the ruby ​​in the air and rushed towards Lu Ning.At the same time, a slender black shadow descended from the sky and just landed on his neck. This time, the poisonous snake kiss bit the book burning official's throat, and his body exuded a burnt smell.

"Lilian!"

After throwing out the poisonous snake transformed by the official's severed arm, Bai Meigui immediately looked back at Lu Ning's situation. That last punch was poured into the great magister's full strength. Although Lu Ning's magic level had been improved, his magic power remained the same. On a common level, the danger remains...

She turned her head and saw Lu Ning flicking away the fist flying towards her with her fingers.

"Don't worry." Lu Ning said calmly, "It will always be beneficial to do some personal tasks."

Although the World Stone that turned into her nails didn't have many magical functions, it at least had a world-level defense. As long as she could catch this kind of point attack magic, it wouldn't be able to hurt her.

"He's dead, we have to continue. If the book burning officials are so difficult, it will take some time to think about the Violet Library." Oris and Wumeng walked over.

Lu Ning nodded.

She doesn't have much time left. Although the current state is already planned, it is still very dangerous. Use the magic that Todd said at the beginning to temporarily suppress the pollution of the magic book and obtain the strength of the magic book. But Lu Ning must keep her spirit from being weak at the same time, otherwise, if it is not enough to suppress the pollution of the magic book and let it erupt before her return trip, it will be tantamount to death.

The four of them quickened their pace, trying to deal with the enemies they encountered on the road as quickly as possible.For some reason, they never met a second Book Burning Officer who came to stop them along the way.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, they finally came to the Violet Library.

The door today is no different from when the library was opened three days ago, it is still closed.However, no one was going to open the door at this time, even Oris, who was a patrolling guard, could not have the qualification to open the library door.

"How do we get in?" Wumeng asked.

"The main entrance must have the strictest magic protection. It is impossible to enter without a key. But there should be more than one entrance to the library?" White Rose asked.

"Regular entrances are protected." Orris frowned. "But since the library has been invaded, there must be people resisting inside. Maybe we can check all the entrances around."

"Then I'm in a group with Lilian, look to the right, and the two of you look to the left." Bai Meigui quickly made a group, and then dragged Lu Ning to the right.

"What's going on?" Lu Ning asked in a low voice.

"It's a bit strange, the second half of our journey is a bit too smooth, isn't it?"

"There may be news about the death of the book burning officer. No...you mean...other than the monsters released in the magic book, there is no fixed force to attack us?" Lu Ning quickly understood Shang Wenxue's meaning.

"Well." Shang Wenxue nodded, "All the scenes I have experienced will not be so safe until the final battle. There are countless escapes and escapes, so I suspect there is something weird here. Let's not go through the door."

"Then what are you doing all of a sudden?"

"Oris is a guard! I'm a thief!" White Rose untied a grapple from her belt, twisted it in her hand, and soon the grapple turned into a gecko, walking along the outside of the Violet Library. The wall climbed up.
