the only savior

Chapter 990 Internal Unity

"Illusion! This turned out to be an illusion!!"

An exclamation sounded in Gillingert's head, it was Yohard's rough and thick voice.

Everyone looked at the front with incredible eyes.

In front of them, where is there any enchantment, where is there any tower of paradise, everything I saw just now is just an illusion.

"This...what the hell is going on...the tower over there? Without the Tower of Paradise, how would we go to the Kingdom of God...?"

The astonishment on Arcatus' face slowly disappeared, replaced by an indelible sadness.

Zhang Xiaoman slowly withdrew his fingers. At this time, there was no sign of darkness on his right hand, and the area that was scorched by the yellow enchantment just now had returned to an intact state.

No, to be more precise, the anxiety just now was just an illusion, and his right hand was never injured from the beginning to the end.

"This is an illusion, um... it's a magical barrier that mainly confuses people's senses. The tower of paradise and those protective circles we have seen are nothing but illusions constructed by it."

Zhang Xiaoman opened his mouth to explain to everyone.

"From the very beginning, I felt something was wrong. It is almost impossible to maintain such a huge defensive circle for so many years without exhausting it..."

"But if it is only set as an illusion to deceive the visual senses, then everything is in the past. The consumption of the illusion is much lower than that of the real defensive circle."

"Just use the illusion to create an unshakable appearance, and then combine it with another set of attacks to counter the enchantment, then it will be able to make those who want to break through retreat in the face of difficulties, hehe, it is a good plan. "

Zhang Xiaoman then briefly told them what the illusion was.

This thing does not exist in the magic system of this world, and it is the first time McAvey and others have seen it.

Following his explanation, everyone gradually understood that this illusion was not the kind of mental attack they imagined at the beginning.

The premise of mental attack is to interfere with the target through spiritual spells, such as the simplest spell of mental shock, which is also very common in the magic system of Irene Continent.

Some more powerful methods of mental attack, such as mind control, which can temporarily manipulate the enemy's mind, have also been recorded in some lost ancient books of magic.

Even like the black goat and the scarlet sun that Zhang Xiaoman encountered in the first universe, those two abilities that can mutate creatures through mental pollution are essentially a kind of mental attack.

But the illusion is different.

Although it creates an illusion to confuse others, this illusion can only be regarded as the covering of the five senses at the physical level, and it has not risen to the spiritual level.

It's like things like TV, neon lights, and VR glasses that people most often see.

The pictures and projections played here cannot be said to be a mental attack.

But it does have a similar principle to illusions, but the latter is far superior to them.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman, who is immune to mental attacks, was not able to realize that he and others had been in such an illusion unknowingly at the first time.

After his explanation, everyone was stunned.

"That's how it is. I said why this enchantment is so strong. It turned out to be a lie!"

The dwarf king Johard yelled and cursed.

"These damned false gods! Unexpectedly, all of them are such insidious and cunning things! They really don't deserve to be strong!"

Regina looked worried, and said:
"But, if the Tower of Paradise doesn't exist, how can we go up there?"

Everyone also reacted at this time.

That's right, if the Tower of Paradise didn't exist, wouldn't the original plan of myself and others to ascend to the Kingdom of God fail accordingly?

Zhang Xiaoman pointed to the front, signaling them not to worry.

"Although the Tower of Paradise is fake, the road to the Kingdom of God has not been cut off. Come with me, I can feel that it is ahead."

As he spoke, he let the three giant frost dragons fly forward with himself and others.

Although it is said that the injury on his right hand was caused by fantasy, it was not actually injured.

But Zhang Xiaoman knew that where his left hand was hit by lightning, the stinging pain was real, without any misleading of the five senses.

Moreover, when the yellow lightning strikes, the powerful energy fluctuations cannot be concealed.

Coupled with the observation of the real eye, he can be sure that there must be a real "Tower of Paradise" in front of him.

Sure enough, as the crowd flew westward for tens of kilometers, and as the clouds receded, an unimaginably huge mountain appeared in front of them.

"So it's here, hehe, the Eye of Truth is right, it seems that this is the mountain I'm looking for."

When Zhang Xiaoman saw it, he immediately understood that the Tower of Paradise was just an illusion.

But the mountain that can really lead to the Kingdom of God is hidden behind the illusion.

This is a giant mountain peak covered in white snow. Even though everyone is in the sky thousands of meters above, they still cannot get a glimpse of its whole picture.

Looking up, there is a mountain that can't be seen.

Underfoot is the abyss leading to endless black mist.

The height of this mountain has reached more than 4 meters, which is several times higher than the highest Mount Everest on Shuilanxing. Its sheer size is simply unimaginable.

In front of it, the three frost dragons were as small as three sesame seeds.

Zhang Xiaoman knew that as long as he and others climbed to the mountain in front of him, he should be able to break through the shackles of the barrier on this world, and thus ascend to the so-called kingdom of God, and see with his own eyes the "gods" who have kept the whole continent in captivity What is it like.

"Be careful, the lightning that hit us just now should have come from here, everyone be vigilant!"

Zhang Xiaoman reminded aloud.

Not long after he finished speaking, he saw strange yellow arcs suddenly condensed in front of the big mountain in front of him.

There was a thunderous sound, and a powerful attack shot towards everyone.

"It turned out that you were sneak attacking!"

Zhang Xiaoman charged up against the lightning, raised his fist and knocked the lightning away.

Immediately, the whole person sprinted towards the mountain with undiminished momentum, breaking through the attack barrier of the blocker in front of him in one breath, and the whole person smashed into the snowdrift of the mountain.

"Boom!!"

With his impact, a large avalanche occurred on this mountain.

The three giant frost dragons hurriedly opened a distance, for fear of being affected by this unprecedented super-large avalanche.

"Polar Star...isn't he a mage...?"

Except for the two former black dragon brothers among the crowd, it was the first time for the others to see Zhang Xiaoman's fighting style, and for a moment they couldn't believe their eyes.

"He surprised us too much... But compared to this, is the avalanche there really not important? Will Jixing be in danger...?"

Arcatus first sighed, and then pointed to the super avalanche that was happening in the distance, pulling everyone back to reality.

"Don't worry, that guy is fine, this avalanche won't kill him."

Alculus spoke.

Both it and the other two frost dragons could perceive Zhang Xiaoman's state through the mental fluctuations of the undead spell.

As it said, although this avalanche looked ferocious, to Zhang Xiaoman it was no different from scratching an itch.

After all, he doesn't need to fight against the power of the entire avalanche.

He just needs to drill down into the ground and protect himself with the power of the shield.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the avalanche gradually stopped.

And Zhang Xiaoman's figure also came out through the snow, and stood in front of everyone again.

"Everyone, come in, the enchantment has been destroyed by me, now we only need to go up through this mountain range."

Under his guidance, the three frost dragons landed on the snow mountain one after another, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Maintaining a flying attitude at this altitude, even with the strength of these frost dragons, they can't last long. They have long wanted to land faster.

"It's actually not bad here. I mean, compared to the tower of paradise just now, at least it's much easier to climb."

Yohad jumped up and down on the mountain peak, and said sincerely.

The others nodded when they heard the words.

Indeed, the tower of Paradise just now is simply a tall tower that goes straight up.

Compared with the current mountain with slopes, of course the latter is more conducive to climbing.

"Stop talking nonsense, stupid dwarf, hurry up, we have to hurry up."

Erculus sprayed him with frost angrily, then pinched his collar with his claws and threw it on Gillingate's head.

For things like mountain climbing, if you want to talk about efficiency, you still have to leave it to the three frost dragons, after all, their size is here.

"Damn Alculus! Don't act casually! If it weren't for the fact that you are the summoned beast of the pole star, I would have punched you!!"

Yohard was pinched on Gillingert's head by it, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and shouted with dancing.

"Erculus! Next time, if you want him to go away quickly, can you put it on your own head!"

Gillingert also expressed dissatisfaction.

"What are you talking about! Brat!"

Erculus ignored the other party, but fixed his eyes on Yohad.

When it heard this guy say the word "summoned beast" just now, it couldn't help but a surge of anger rose in its heart.

Although what the other party said was indeed true in a certain sense, his haughty heart still prevented him from being subjected to such verbal insults.

"Okay, let's all stop for a while, it's important to hurry."

Zhang Xiaoman spoke.

Just a light sentence, combined with his own mental coercion, immediately made Alculus unable to move anymore.

"Haha, Polar Star! Well done..."

Yohad was about to laugh, but Zhang Xiaoman gave him a hard look.

"Yorhard, please don't say that again in the future, Erculus is not my summoned beast, it is still our companion, but it's just changed to the identity of an undead."

The dwarf king was already at odds with this giant dragon, so he couldn't help but glance at his mouth at this moment, and muttered:

"Pole Star, how can you help it speak..."

Zhang Xiaoman turned around suddenly, and slowly flew in front of Yohad, staring at him like a torch.

"Yorhard, why do you think Alculus became like this?"

Johard was a little dazed by his sudden action, and subconsciously said:

"It became like this, not because of too much strength..."

"Too weak? Is that really the case? Yohad!?"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly interrupted him.

"Let me tell you why Alculus became like this. It is because he led the nine-headed dragon alone to help you delay time in order to save your dwarf army and the civilians in Kuhan City!"

"If it wasn't for its sacrifice, how many of your clansmen would be able to return to Kuhan City? Do you think you can still stand here intact?"

The expression on Zhang Xiaoman's face was full of coldness, and there was a burst of pressure on his body that was so strong that it was almost suffocating—this was the coercion from the life level of the dark spirits.

"So, Yohad, I don't care what festivals you have had before, but I hope you are at least a person who knows how to reciprocate."

"Erkulus gave his life to help you delay the attack of Urbis and the black dragon army. Some of the dead dragons didn't even preserve their complete bodies."

"They could have been hiding on Long Island and not participating in this battle, but now they died for you. You are not only ungrateful, but you still laugh at them here. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Facing Zhang Xiaoman's series of questioning, Yohad first blushed and wanted to refute a few words.

But he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Finally, when he heard the next few words, he finally couldn't help but lower his head.

"We are companions now, and we are about to face the most powerful enemy in the world. We must unite as one, not fight among ourselves here!"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly reached out and patted Yohad on the shoulder, saying:
"Yorhard, I know you're just a straight person, but now that we've gathered together, we need to put aside some previous prejudices, otherwise what awaits us can only be our own destruction."

Yohad could barely lift his head at this moment.

Although the dwarf has a bad temper, after realizing his mistake, he will not find excuses to cover it up like some humans, and it is quite refreshing to admit it.

"Okay, Polar Star...I see..."

Yohard whispered.

He paused, struggled with his eyes, and then looked at the giant dragon staring at him not far away, and said in a low voice:
"Erculus, I really want to thank you, you saved our people, and there is my son..."

"I was really an asshole before, I shouldn't have said that to you, I apologize to you..."
