Heart of the Castle

Chapter 187 The Fierce Battle in the Crater

The scene in front of him changes rapidly, the flickering flickering world disappears in an instant, and the dazzling heat and pungent smoke dominate all senses.Li Wei tried his best to open his eyes, and a faint silver-white light shone on his body, slightly fading the burning power.

The Griffon King below him suddenly turned to the side without warning, almost throwing Li Wei from his back.Li Wei was frightened into a cold sweat, and at the same time, he felt a burst of extremely hot wind sweeping past his body, and then a mass of red-hot magma brushed past his body, and crashed into the volcanic wall on one side, sending out a booming sound. bang.

The Griffin King suddenly let out a sharp cry, and the huge wings that had been folded suddenly stretched out and flapped vigorously.One person, one rider originally fell vertically like a stone, but now the speed of the fall has dropped sharply.Immediately afterwards, there was a violent vibration, and Li Wei felt that half of his body was numb from the shock, and then he heard faint, screaming and cursing in the devil's language.

Li Wei jumped down from the Griffon King, the knight sword in his hand was shining with black and blue cold light, and the silver-white sacrificial aura was attached to it. At first glance, the whole sword seemed to be burning with a pure white holy flame.He just felt the hardness of obsidian on the soles of his feet, and before he had time to look at the surrounding situation, the sulfur smoke in front of him suddenly surged to the left and right, and the two little devils came out cursing, just in time to meet Li Wei.

Perhaps because the dangerous location of the devil's lair was very safe, the two little devils were empty-handed and unaware. When they saw Li Wei who was fully armed and holding a sharp sword, they were stunned.

The knight sword in Li Wei's hand flashed a dazzling light, and the low-pitched screams of the two little devils disappeared as soon as they sounded. Their red skin was as tough as ordinary leather armor, but the sword produced in the heart of the castle In front of the front, it is no more difficult to break through than a piece of parchment.

The two little demons fell to the ground and twitched to death. At the same time, the sulfurous smoke billowed violently, and the griffins landed with flapping wings. Some landed smoothly like the king of griffins, their strong limbs bouncing to dispel the impact.But some were unlucky, or the timing of flapping their wings to slow down was too late, making a terrible bone cracking sound at the bottom of the hard obsidian hole, and at the same time, the knight on their back fell off.

Although those griffins were seriously injured, fortunately there were no victims.The knights who came down from the griffin gathered together unsteadily, some of them were pale, but most of them were bright red with strange excitement.Dragunson was the most excited of them all. This burly, almost naked man was shaking the spear in his hand—the thing held in Dragonson's hand like a toothpick was the lightest thing he could find. The heavier weapons were rejected by the griffin assigned to him.

"Aha, the old man's beard has been pulled out by us, come on, let's find those devil bastards and crush them like bedbugs!"

Dragunson's loud voice shook the cave, and Levi and Wilps were the most sober, and they cursed almost at the same time.

"Shut up! Dragunson!"

"You will bring all the demons here!"

Dragonson covered his mouth in annoyance, but obviously his action was too late, the roar just now had attracted the attention of the demon in the cave, and a burst of indistinct demonic language rang out, and then under Li Wei's investigation In the visual field of surgery, more than a dozen red light spots quickly moved towards this direction.

"The devil is coming, everyone be careful!"

Li Wei gave a sharp warning, and then raised the knight sword in his hand high.

A long sword like a forest was raised behind him, and there was a nondescript spear in it. Wilpus took a step forward and stood side by side with Li Wei. The fiery red fighting spirit made him look like an old man. Lord Sir Volcano is as majestic and terrifying.

"Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, and be fearless!" The motto of the knights shouted in a dozen voices echoed in the cave, followed by the knights' prayers to the gods they believed in.

"In the name of the Lord of Glory!"

"God of War Barud bless you!"

"Father God! Father God!"

Dragunson's loud voice was exceptionally loud, and his shouts were also exceptionally loud.

"Praise benevolent Goddess Elara, I must chop off a few more devil's heads today!"

A group of little demons holding steel forks came out of the sulfur smoke under the leadership of a tall and thin incinerator. Obviously they thought that what they were dealing with was not a very troublesome enemy, so when a dozen fully armed When the knight went up to meet them, screams full of fear suddenly echoed in the cave.

Before the team leader Burner could figure out a countermeasure, the knights had already crushed them like a great wall of steel. The colorful sword lights flashed like thunder and lightning. After the first contact, the screams of the little devils suddenly rang out.

The long sword blessed with vindictive energy chopped off the steel fork that the little devil hastily raised to parry, and then cut into skin, muscle and bone.More than half of the imps fell down in the first round of attacks, and the rest were frightened and retreated screaming.

The Burner is the only big demon here, but unfortunately, as a warlock demon controlled by flames, its melee ability is not much stronger than that of the little demon.When the knights rushed up, the clever incinerator turned around and ran backwards. Its movements were indeed fast, but they were still slower than the spear thrown from behind.

The screams that made people feel that the blood was frozen were extremely loud. Like a gecko, the burner was pierced by the spear from behind, and half of the spear with dark purple blood was exposed on the chest.The power contained in the spear was quite terrifying, and the thin Burner was actually lifted up by the spear and nailed to the obsidian cave wall.

After Dragunson threw the spear out of his hand, he became unarmed. A smart little devil felt that the big man would be easier to deal with, so he held up a steel fork lingering in the black aura and stabbed at him.Dragunson lunged at the steel fork, which grazed the outside of his arm, leaving a black scar.

But this is the last resistance the little devil can do. Dragosson waved his hand vigorously, and the steel fork flew out of the little devil's hand. The body revealed a terrifying smile that only carnivorous beasts have.

An unsavory voice sounded, and then a purple rain of blood rained down on Dragonsun's head. The unfortunate little devil was torn in half by him from the middle, and then the mutilated corpse was thrown out forcefully. , and knocked down the other two little devils who were about to escape.Before they could get up, the huge soles of their feet pressed down like a mountain peak, and Dragunson was like trampling insects to death, screaming, trampling on the little devil's corpse and charging forward.

The rest of the knights were also fighting hard, their long swords swishing across the air, and the blades hit the steel fork, making a clanging sound.No matter in terms of numbers or personal combat ability, the little devil's side is at an absolute disadvantage.The hatred for humans in the devil's nature was quickly replaced by fear, and the retreat quickly turned into a rout. Every little devil flapped its wings desperately, trying to escape faster than its companions.

Less than ten imps escaped from the swords of the knights, retreating into the depths of the thick sulfur smoke.Li Wei panted slightly and stopped, squinting his eyes and scanning his surroundings.Wilps followed closely beside Li Wei, the long sword was already stained with the blood of the little devil, and the figures of other knights were also revealed. Except for Dragoons, no one was injured in the battle just now , and Dragonson didn't care about the scar on his arm.

"The demon cubs have already retreated, Mr. Li Wei, why don't we follow up immediately and crush them to death one by one?" Dragonson's rough voice sounded, and his blood-soaked appearance made it even worse. The devil has to be like a murderous devil.

"Ahead is the demon's lair. According to the scale of this lair, there should be an evil altar of medium size or above. The status of the demon priest presiding over the altar is only slightly inferior to the demon lord. You adults must be more careful."

"Yes, Lord Levi!" Wilps was the first to respond loudly, and then the knights clenched their fists and knocked on their chests, roaring.

"For the glory of the knights, destroy the demons and end the evil disaster!"

The visibility distance in the sulfur smog was extremely low, and the cave gradually became narrower. The obsidian stalagmites flickered under the smog, suddenly looking like devil's fangs.Li Wei felt that his feet were a red hot steel plate, and his raw cowhide boots sizzled on the ground, and they had already begun to emit a burnt smell.

Without the protection of fighting energy, the environment here can make an ordinary person die within a few minutes, and the knights who have not reached the level of fighting energy dissipation also feel quite strenuous.Li Wei's whole body shone with silver-white fighting energy. The fighting energy seeds passed on to him by Knight Martin had already reached the level of scattered fighting energy. Although he was downgraded because of the inheritance, the degree of solidification of the fighting energy light was not ordinary knights. can be compared.Relying on the support of sacrificial fighting spirit, Li Wei held the sword as his chest with both hands, and strode forward.

Wilps closely followed Levi on the left, and on the other side was Miss Frasier, who was also fully armed. They walked forward without fear, regardless of whether it was the abyss or the scythe of the Sleeping Guide in front of them. Can't stop their steps.

The sulfur smog lying ahead was extremely thick, almost like a solid object, blocking everyone's sight.

Except for Levi.

In the field of vision of the probing technique, an extraordinarily bright red light spot is flashing in front, surrounded by dozens of relatively dim light spots, Li Wei touches these light spots with consciousness, and immediately receives clearly what these light spots represent meaning.

Those dim spots of light are all little devils, some of them are the guys who fled back just now, and most of the rest belong to the mutated magic absorbers.The brightest light spot is obviously the leader in the lair, and next to that light spot, Li Wei unexpectedly saw a light blue light spot!
This is the devil's lair, why is there a friendly blue color?
Li Wei stopped in confusion, and Wilps and Miss Fraser immediately stopped and searched around with vigilant eyes.

"The demon priest is right ahead." Li Wei said softly, while trying to suppress the surprise in his heart, he raised his hand and pointed forward.

When the finger touched the blue light spot, a small light curtain that only Li Wei could see unfolded in front of him.

Name: Scott (Spell Absorber)
Race: Purgatory Demon

Life: 16
Danger Level: Weak.

Special ability: arcane sucking, when the enemy spellcaster casts magic, absorb two points of mana and transfer it to the spellcaster.

Relationship: loyal

This certain name made Levi think for a few seconds before he found the memory about it in the corner of his mind.

It turned out to be the little devil that was subdued at the Heihe outpost... Remember that Mr. Dish put it in the heart of the castle and managed that purgatory crucible?Why did it suddenly appear here?

Li Wei's thinking didn't last long, because every second he stayed in the suffocating sulfur fog would consume the fighting spirit of the knights, he quickly put his doubts behind him and turned to the front keep going.

This time, I didn't go far this time, and there were bursts of strange voices in my ears. The volume of this voice was not loud, but it seemed to ring directly in my mind, which made people want to ignore it.Although no one could understand what the voice was saying, the dark, vicious, destructive and bloodthirsty taste made even the most nervous Dragonson change color.

"This is... the curse prayer of the demon priest! Don't listen!" Wilps suddenly yelled, waking up the knights who were a little dizzy from the sound.

"The demon priest is not far ahead, rush up, kill it, and then destroy the altar, and the demon disaster will disappear on this land!" Li Wei's voice sounded immediately.

"Forward, Knights!" Every knight suddenly burst out with all their strength, the colorful fighting spirit light dispelled the surrounding sulfur smoke, and the footsteps sounded like a storm.This little knight group rushed forward without hesitation, the smoke in front of them suddenly dissipated, and they crashed into the space where the demon altar was located.

This is an extraordinarily huge cave. The obsidian cave wall is shining with dark red hot light. An extraordinarily huge stone altar is located in the center of the cave. It is engraved with mysterious symbols and magic circles. From time to time, there is a deep purple electric light. Passing across the altar, every mysterious symbol lit up, and then fell silent again.

A tall and thin demon is standing on the top of the altar, surrounded by dozens of little demons as guards. This tall and thin demon is not huge in size, and its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the burner, but the magic patterns on its body should be complicated Many; wearing a gorgeous robe with a rather mysterious and majestic shape, holding a wooden staff inlaid with many shining gems in his hand.

Seeing the knights rushing in, the tall and thin demon uttered a particularly high-pitched and vicious curse for the last time, a black-red translucent wave visible to the naked eye erupted centered on him, and swept across those surrounding it. Nothing abnormal happened to the little devil, but when the wave touched the knights who were surrounding the altar, there was a violent explosion.

Li Wei in the front was the first person to come into contact with this black-red wave. At that moment, he felt his body being grabbed by two invisible giant hands, and then twisted violently in the opposite direction. It was unspeakable. The excruciating pain on the surface ran through his whole body, and at the same time, a warm liquid rushed up his throat.Li Wei swallowed the liquid forcefully, and the strong smell of blood rising from his stomach almost made him vomit.

The performance of the knights behind Li Wei was even more unbearable. The weaker ones spurted a mouthful of blood on the spot, and the fighting spirit on their bodies also seemed dim and swaying.Although Wilps, Fleischer and several other knights who had reached the point of dissipating fighting spirit did not vomit blood, they still turned pale, obviously their bodies were also injured to varying degrees.

"This is the special skill Death Ripple of the Demon Priest, let's use it together, don't let it have a second chance to release it!" Wilps' hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and then the great knight had a long sword in his hand, and his whole body was covered in flames. Fighting Qi burned violently, and like a flaming god, he strode towards the demon priest!
