Chapter 279: Absorption of divinity, battle of the top eight

Under the name of the Church of Light, there is the Hymn Hospital.

Many mage guards suddenly swarmed in, and martial law was imposed inside and outside.

High-level officials, headed by Ti Luowei, the special envoy of the Card Association, visited Irene on behalf of the tournament organizing committee.

in the ward.

"Miss Eileen, how do you feel now?"

"I...I'm much better...Thank you for your concern, adults."

Erin had a bit of embarrassment on her face and lowered her head in shame.

She didn't know the existence of "dark games" yet, and probably thought it was unspeakable to be frightened into surrendering by her opponent's cards on stage.

A group of senior officials from the competition team didn't know what they were thinking, but they actually came together to visit.

This made Eileen, who was already a little afraid of society, want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

When Irene felt embarrassed, Roland blended in with the crowd and took the opportunity to observe.

It is indeed a state similar to mental weakness.

Some of her spirituality was plundered, like a resentful spirit haunting her, swallowing up her yang energy.

Unlike the good god, Xingtian has obviously embarked on the path of the evil god who focuses on killing and conquest.

He came to the corridor and asked in a low voice for details.

The priest of the Hymn Hospital informed: "The patient's condition is a bit strange, showing a negative state similar to being cursed by the "fear spell" and "weakness spell"..."

"You continue to observe and take care of her, and don't let anything happen to her here."

"We know, please rest assured, Mr. Roland."

After returning from Anthem Hospital, Blaise found Roland and asked about the situation.

Roland told what he learned.

Blaise said: "The Dark Game...even I have only heard about it, but I haven't really experienced it a few times.

But this time, it was finally an eye-opener. "

Different from the awe and resistance shown by others, Blaze, the card player, felt a bit eager to try.

Because it involves some sacrificial rituals and the secrets of the road to becoming a god.

……

The game continues.

"Hello, viewers, welcome to the third round of the knockout round. The player coming on stage is Bona player from East Lena Mage Tower...

……

Oh, beautiful, a hidden trick from a few rounds ago, the "Fire Trap" triggered a series of explosions!
Bona player used amazing tactics to make a comeback and win the game!

This is a key battle to advance to the top 32. Let us congratulate Bona player for taking the lead in advancing! "

On the afternoon of another day, Bona of East Lena Mage Tower once again defeated his opponent and qualified for promotion.

This means that in the internal competition between the two mage towers, Donglina Mage Tower once again took the lead.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that although the players sent by Silena Mage Tower were elite, they fought independently and paid little attention to group cooperation.

Although Phantom Magic Card is a competitive game played by oneself, there are shadows of group cooperation in the way of card construction, tactical arrangements, concentrated training, etc.

Under the premise of complying with the rules, everyone will work together to conduct research and training, which will undoubtedly have an advantage.

In contrast, Silena's players are more lone-wolf masters.

Since there are many experts from the society in the open competition, many of them exposed their trump cards in advance and were targeted, and most of them fell into disgrace.

This result made everyone in the Euthodox school very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

However, there are a few elite talents among them who are very capable and have demonstrated a level far beyond that of ordinary mages.

Especially Piero, an apprentice under Gallo, defeated several popular players in the group stage one after another, singing high and advancing to the top 32.

Oxea immediately reported the good news to Gallo.

Gallo has been busy with his research recently and hasn't paid much attention to his apprentices. He doesn't even pay much attention to this competition.

After hearing this, I finally smiled a little.

"Pierro is a rare genius. With his magical cultivation and arcane skills, he will have no problem coping with this competition."

Because this open competition was originally planned for the competition between the two mage towers, the Arcane Committee deliberately restricted the registration conditions.

Not only mages, but also warlocks, priests, mid-level and above caster professions are not allowed to participate.

Only non-spellcaster professions like Jonis and others are allowed to participate.

Oxea pondered for a while, but showed a little hesitation.

"Such a restrictive rule is good for Del Piero, but it is also good for the talented people at East Lena.

You didn't pay much attention to this game, and you may not know that Diego, Bona and others from East Lena performed very well.

In addition, other elite apprentices also showed a level that was only slightly inferior to Piero. "

He was a little shocked by the quality of Donglina's talents, and even had doubts about some of the systems in his own Mage Tower.

"Oh?" Gallo finally moved slightly after hearing this.

What happened after that really confirmed Oxea's opinion.

The personnel of Donglina Mage Tower have been promoted one after another, like Diego and Bona, who are obviously much better than ordinary trainee mage, and are the first level in this conference.

Silaire, Leliide and others were slightly inferior, but they also played steadily and performed well.

Then there were a dozen elite apprentices, who also showed very high arcane literacy, each of which was enough to force out some of Piero's trump cards and tactics.

They accounted for almost half of the top 32, making Donglina Mage Tower the biggest winner of this open competition.

And among this half, more than [-]% come from the Siris Academy under Roland, and the cards and decks used all have Siris elements.

Bizarre stories like Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong happened frequently, a last-ditch battle, the siege of Gaixia, the game of building a plank road openly and secretly plotting against Chencang... were also staged several times.

This brings a lot of help to the resonance across the universe.

As a result, Roland was exhausted.

He simply cannot absorb such faith and materials on his own, nor can he perfectly resonate with them.

So, he began to use these powers to condense the deck and gather them into various cards.

After all, these decks condense the elements of "language" and "text", and are a collection of spiritual power and mana resonance.

Guide "faith" through "story", this is the original source of gods!

During this process, he more or less understood the state of mind of those legendary powerhouses, and he also roughly understood why many ancient gods gradually appeared in a state of multiple beings.

This is to facilitate the acceptance of faith and the opening of clergy.

……

Another day.

Round of [-]. "Oh, incredible!

The 'Loyal Servant of the Headless God of War Xing Tian' from the northern tribe once again used that weird move. The tribal warrior's character cards 'Talmud' and 'Jian' just appeared and killed the characters on the field!
The Under Armor player at East Lena Mage Tower was very shocked. Was he completely defenseless, or was he frightened?

what happened?He covered his heart in pain, oh, no, is it a sudden illness?Pastor, go get the pastor! "

Amid the commotion at the scene, Anderma, the elite apprentice of East Lena Mage Tower, saw dark eyes and collapsed on the ground.

The audience who did not know the truth were in an uproar and shouted: "Shady, refund the tickets! Shady, refund the tickets!"

"I have long thought that there is something wrong with this guy. Why does the opponent fall down every time he plays a card?"

"There must be some treacherous means!"

"This is not fair at all. How can competitive matters be solved by outside moves?"

However, the participating tribal warriors were not moved at all, and the event organizing committee also turned a deaf ear.

They just took the injured off according to normal procedures and the game continued as usual.

Roland went to the hospital to visit again. Since this time he was his apprentice, he specially applied for a space to be alone to facilitate communication.

"Under Armor, how are you feeling?"

"I, I feel okay..."

"to be frank!"

"Ah, I...I was so frightened that I almost thought I had been beheaded.

Teacher, you don’t know, it was exactly the same as Homier’s real dream. I thought I was dead. It was so scary!Woo..."

Under Armor can be regarded as a talented person who was personally cared for and taught by Roland, but her performance was no better than that of Irene before. When it came to the key points, she started to sob quietly.

"A very standard mental blow. He went through the torture of beheading in the fantasy world. We watched from the outside for just a moment, but under the shadow of the dark game rules, he probably went through a terrible and difficult battle...

He did not surrender immediately, but fought hard for a long time before being killed! "

Blaize and Moreira, who followed, analyzed for a while and came to a conclusion.

Roland was slightly in a trance.

"A battle within the spiritual world?"

Blaise said: "Yes, in Siris' words, this is like a dream or a bad game. The apparent game is a prerequisite for the summoning ceremony.

But strictly speaking, even at this stage, it cannot be called a dark game in the true sense, because he was not killed!
Just as some dreams can affect reality, this kind of battle that takes place in the spiritual realm must reach the stage of manifestation before it can be called complete.

At that stage, even ordinary viewers will be able to see those battle scenes directly with the naked eye.

Contestants who lose in the dark game may actually... die! "

Moreira added: "In a sense, it is already a realm at the level of the Kingdom of God, but it is a Kingdom of God that has been built together by many legendary powerful men and divine creatures for thousands of years.

Even we have only heard about it, we have never seen it with our own eyes or experienced it ourselves. "

These days, even the Kingdom of God and its fields can crowdfund...

But Roland quickly understood.

This is probably the true purpose of the Arcane Committee!
Use public events to gather a lot of attention.

Use these concerns to gather the power of faith, summon the Kingdom of Darkness to come, and seal off the entire place.

In an instant, the entire Terry City will become an enclosed space that cannot be entered or exited.

Under the influence of special rules, Agates simply cannot escape.

However, there are also factors that are difficult to control.

For example, will such a dark game lead to the advent of some evil gods, or will there be some special cards hidden among the players, like Xing Tian, ​​who secretly absorbs their power.

The situation this time is huge. Without the corresponding power of faith as an anchor, it is difficult to sense all the power.

It is not easy to figure out what is mixed in the water of a lake.

But no matter what, if the Arcane Committee makes such a layout, it will definitely respond.

Roland felt that it was not his turn to worry about this for the time being. It was proper to make good use of the Seris elements contained in it and draw useful power of faith.

No matter how the situation develops next, he is already the biggest winner.

The huge resources accumulated here, even if they cannot be used temporarily, are still a huge wealth.

After returning from the hospital, Roland locked himself in the office and ordered no one to disturb him.

Even Princess Rosa and Atali were turned away.

Because he tried to use the power of Xingtian inside.

"Equipment card: Ax of Xingtian!
When Xing Tian equips this card, he gains sharpness +1...

Successfully decapitate the enemy, be able to plunder the spirit, and give the attack +1 special effect...

Every time you kill an enemy, you get 1 burst value..."

"Equipment card: Xingtian Shield!
When Xing Tian equips this card, gain defense +2...

Immortality: Before the durability of this shield is completely exhausted, Xing Tian will not be defeated and leave the field..."

"Haha, in the card drawing game, splitting the gold points is an old trick of development and operation...

Split the strength that a character should have into multiple zodiac signs, or put them in equipment and companions, so as to induce players to top up step by step in order to become stronger, earning money.

I really didn't expect that this method of deceiving Krypton would become the key to 'splitting Xingtian'!

I had already calculated this move when dealing with Serad before, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. "

Serad had no idea that Roland was still hiding these back-up plans.

“In this competition, they shined and used the spirit of contract to defeat their opponents one after another.

But most of the soul power gained from victory was actually absorbed by these two cards, and instead helped them grow! "

He looked around with the vision brought by the "Eye of Mystery" and found that a blood-colored power as thick as oil was condensed on these two "Equipment Cards", which not only turned them into real legends, but also raised stars one after another. It is almost reaching the level of high-end equipment.

Divinity is absorbed by living things and can become demigods.

And being absorbed by this non-living entity is called an artifact!

Of course, these two "equipment cards" are far from reaching the level of artifacts, but in terms of the power Roland feels at this moment, they are definitely not comparable to ordinary mortal objects.

They have been shrouded in a divine glow!

……

Soon, the time came to September 6.

The tournament started again, and this time, it was already a high-end match in the quarterfinals.

When the contestants came on stage, everyone was in an uproar.

Because this time, the "Loyal Servant of the Headless God of War Xingtian" who participated in the competition finally unveiled his mysterious veil, revealing his true appearance hidden under the mask.

It was Serad who took action himself!
