Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 355. 205. The Perfect Place to Die

Drucci, who was already standing at the entrance of the Pyramid of Stars in the North Sky, heard the sound of a huge collapse and the cry of the giant dying. They stopped in their advancing steps and looked at each other.

Afterwards, without waiting for anyone to say anything, the team continued to march into the passage, the walls around them shook again, the strange light at the top of the passage went out, and the dark passage was suddenly full of threats.There was a pressure in their ears, on the top of their heads, next to their cheeks, which grew so intense that it was almost painful, and even the teeth ached.

There was an echo of orc shouts in the passage ahead, and the strange light at the top of the passage lit up again, emitting a dim and terrifying cold light.Light and shadow flickered, shadows danced grotesquely, and the chaotic energy around the team ebbed and flowed like the shaking earth.

"I feel the absurdity, the wave of destruction is boiling wantonly in my mind, but what I want to do next is to save the world! Today, whether we succeed or not, this feeling of absurdity will be deeply imprinted in my head Here." Maranul, who rushed to the front with his shield and Flanais, said jokingly.

"Don't talk! Don't think! The chaotic energy here will distort our minds, empty ourselves, and resist it. We are Drucci who drinks the abyss of the world! We stand on the edge of the outer darkness, intoxicated by it, but we must not I will not step into it! This is our pride as Drucci! This is our pride as the sons of Aenarion!" After Drew LS finished speaking, he cast a black magic shield on the team.

As if mocking Drew LS's comforting words, the violent voice intensified, the entire pyramid shook as if struck by a sledgehammer, and the huge stone building trembled like a trembling beast.The strange light flickered again, and a strange howling sound filled the air.

Soon, the team came to another ramp, which led into the depths.A foul stench emanated from it, a mixture of warpstone-tainted stagnant water and ancient rot.Mold, a strange black substance that seemed to be poisonous, clings to the walls of the passage.Erosion of old carvings gave way to new grotesque shapes that suggested golems and monstrosities, but didn't seem to be.

The downward slope of the ramp is getting bigger and bigger, the strange light in the passage is becoming more and more intermittent, the surrounding atmosphere drops sharply, and the atmosphere becomes deeper and deeper.

Colonia, who has been silently walking along with the team, is studying the energy threads around her that she can perceive. She can feel that she is very close now, close to the dark core that solves the mystery, and close to the source of the terrible power explosion.She could feel huge energy flowing around her, even stronger than the energy in the Lustria Continent's spiritual vein network. The red poisonous river in her hometown is the same.

The flow of chaotic energy here is not stable, stuttering and intermittent.It was still erupting one moment, and disappeared without a trace the next moment, as if someone had triggered their powerful power, but could not completely control them, and was actually trying to contain them.

The team came to a fork in the road and stopped suddenly. They did not choose to divide their troops. In yesterday's lead fort, they knew that there was a passage to reach the hatching pool and deeper underground, which was not their destination, but Tan Kekua But it didn't tell them whether it was left or right, or up or down.

"Wait for me a moment." After finishing speaking, Colonia signaled the team to wait for a while, then closed his eyes and whispered the all-seeing spell.

At first, as always, nothing changes, and then Colonia's perceived boundaries slowly expand outward, like a slowly expanding bubble.Suddenly, she could feel herself standing outside her body, and she looked down, taking in a 360-degree view.She felt dizzy as her brain struggled to adjust to unprecedented perceptions, seeing things from a perspective that mortals wouldn't normally see.

Colonia realized she was being distracted as her mind tried to escape the stress she was under.She took a deep breath, calmed her beating heart with a thought, and let her consciousness continue to expand.She realized that all the passages radiated outward from her current location.She saw that it was mostly empty, but there were some orcs running and goblins moving stealthily.

The Pyramid War seems to have entered a new stage, with both sides trying to catch the other off guard.Colonia's consciousness surged outward, like ripples caused by a fallen stone, toward the edge of a dark, still pool.She saw the savage conflict between orcs and beastmen, and she saw the shamans on both sides casting spells against each other with bone staffs.

Colonia felt the fabric of reality being torn apart, and her vision continued forward and outward, until she saw the entire Beitian Star Pyramid like a huge seething ant-hill full of violence and conflict, filled with Monsters that horde and hurt each other.She saw strange limbless pit monsters with mouths and eyes fighting alongside screaming goblins on their backs.She saw the harpy flapping its wings in the passage, landing on the snarling big orc and grabbing the eyes with sharp claws.

But there are many things Colonia cannot see, and certain areas are blocked by strange runes.Dazzling swirls and streams of chaotic energy blocked her vision and blinded her as she tried to focus.She forces her brain to take in what it can, to remember what must be remembered, and then she focuses on what she seeks, the strange vortex lurking deep at the heart of this mad structure.

Colonia's attention was drawn to the strange vortex, and like a moth to a flame or a drowned person to the center of the vortex, she saw the enchantment spell set to protect it.She lets her consciousness flow along intricate patterns, avoiding mysterious tripwires and traps, trying not to set off any alarms.It felt like terribly slow, painful work, but she knew she was actually still caught between heartbeat after beat, slow and fast.Passing by, she saw Chaos Warriors waiting in the center, and eventually she found her destination.

The huge structure in front of him reminded Colonia of a blood-stained altar and the controls of some complicated machines.She saw piles of corpses, sacrificed to what only the gods knew.She saw the four huge pillars at both ends of the hall, and all the condensed energy was concentrated on these pillars, and she saw the huge and complicated network of spiritual veins radiating outward from here to hundreds of other places.

This can't help but make Colonia think of what Dacus said: What are we doing?To fix the plumbing, of course!
And this is one of the greatest nodes and hubs of the spiritual vein network!

Colonia could now see where all the Chaos warriors were coming from, as those monsters emerged through the Path of the Old Ones.As she watched, a burst of energy told her of the arrival of a warband.She watched as the warband immediately obeyed the orders of the Chaos Warlocks who controlled this place and rushed out to fight.

Even as Colonia gazed at the massive structure, she could see one of the Chaos Warlocks casting a spell to lead the Chaos army against the Orcs.Another Chaos Warlock, responsible for maintaining the massive structure at the center of the room, seemed unaware or unconcerned that forces beyond his control had been awakened.

A pair of strange twins, Colonia immediately felt that these twins were Chaos Warlocks with huge dark power.There is something that connects the twins, and she senses the twins' malice and glee as they work, and soon she realizes that the twins have no sense at all.The twins don't care if they destroy the island or the world, maybe they'll be happy.

Colonia canceled his spell, and her consciousness immediately flowed back into the vessel of her body.She glanced at Ren standing beside her, and Ren who understood immediately pointed to a direction that coincided with what she saw.

"We need to hide the magic on the team. We need it now more than ever. If we are detected, there will be enough Chaos warriors and orcs blocking the passage. We will never reach the center. Maybe this will be A perfect place for us to be buried.”

But even with the blessing of hidden magic, the team still fought. After all, this is not a wild place, and the specifications of the passage are just there.The team entered a huge room with more pillars that shone eerily.

From the entrance at one end of the room, a group of orcs suddenly appeared, and from the other end came a black-armored Chaos Warrior with an eight-pointed star symbol flashing on his chest.Fortunately, no enemies appeared at the last entrance, and a fierce three-party melee broke out in the space in an instant.

"Get closer, we can't be trapped here, time is getting shorter and shorter." Maranur said anxiously after cutting down a horned beast holding a spear.

The two brothers Maranur, Kewell and Takaia formed an offensive spearhead with the support of magic.Their attack was frantic and the pyramids trembled again.The light around the pillar grew bright and bright, then quickly faded.Everything the pillar touched, whether corpse or living person, burned.

Lustria Continent, the first city, Itaza, a huge army of lizardmen gathered in every square and street, and all the Slann magic priests who could wake up in the entire Lustria Continent woke up. Under the leadership of Zdamuldi, while reversely mobilizing the energy of the Ulthuan Maelstrom to the spiritual vein network of the Lustria Continent, they are still waiting anxiously. They are waiting, waiting for that moment to come, but at that moment never came.

The orc prophet Zakul led the big orcs into the North Sky Pyramid of Stars through another entrance, and he is already close to his goal.Soon he and his boys will kill the trespassers who defile the temple, and he will cleanse the place with blood.

Chaos Warlock Kelman could feel the commotion within the pyramid, he had felt it before, but he wasn't sure.The energy wave here was so surging that it was difficult for him to distinguish.With the mark of green-skinned magic, it is very close and very powerful.

It seems the orcs are already in, and in too many numbers to resist, at least until reinforcements are called.Kellman needed time to calm the seething Chaos energy and bring it back under control before he could call in reinforcements again.He needs all remaining troops to guard here until that happens.

Kellman cast a summoning spell, trying to attract the giant Magrig, but... a terrible thought rose in his heart, maybe Magrig was dead.

The tragic scuffle finally ended. Almost everyone in Durucci died, but they didn't stop. Even those who were seriously injured struggled to keep up with the team with the support of others. If one person was left here, it would really be a death The perfect place to go.

The team is still advancing, and they are getting closer and closer to their goal.

"I'll deal with the one wearing the gold thread." Colonia knew, and it was just a step ahead.

Ahead, a strange pulsating light was constantly flashing.The light it emits grows brighter and then almost fades away.

Kelman and Logor stood on a massive pedestal altar, Logor manipulated energy by placing his hands on the controls of the massive structure, while Kelman appeared to be frozen.

Hordes of orcs poured into the vast space from several other entrances, rushing towards the Chaos Guardians.

"Slow down." Maranul, who was rushing out of the corner, saw the situation of the huge space, he paused and then shrank back.

Durucci, who was following Maranul, was caught off guard, some advanced, some retreated, but the team immediately restored order in the next second.

"As I said before, the greenskins lived here for centuries before being expelled, so they must know some secret passages. But these are not important. What is important is that at such a critical moment, we cannot be caught in the Between Chaos and Orcs."

There was no questioning, no discussion, although they were in a hurry, they all knew that now was definitely not the time to rush in, they had to drink water and eat, or wipe their wounds, making final preparations.

The sound of roaring, fighting, and clashing weapons continued to pass through the passage, and gradually spread.The walls of the passageway were constantly shaking, and there were piles of corpses in the space, some with green skins and some with orcs.Chaos warriors, orcs, minotaurs, harpies, horned beasts, all the horrible creatures you can think of are constantly fighting inside.

"I understand." Colonia suddenly understood. After seeing Drusala look at her, she immediately explained, "The Chaos Warlocks released power they could not control. I just saw a boiling energy. The ocean, the energy, moved slowly through the portal, as relentless and irresistible as lava, and then a Chaos warband emerged."
