Heart of the Castle

Chapter 844 The Disaster Caused by the Wise Ones
Long and incomprehensible ancient mantra chants fluttered under the night sky of the Iron Furnace Mountains. This sound came from the throats of hundreds of people who were familiar with magic, and even the howling north wind could hardly blow it away. scattered.At some point, a haze enveloped the entire sky, as if even the goddess Silver Moon in the dark sky did not want to witness this evil scene.

As the chanting of the incantation gradually became louder, the 24 important nodes of the magic ring magic circle began to shine, and then these lights extended to 360 five more along the complex magic patterns outlined by gem fragments and liquid gold. Small nodes, every smaller node is manipulated by a great magician, his raised hands are like a dense jungle, waving countless complex and changeable gestures towards the night sky.

360 Five great magicians, twelve kingdom magisters, and one legendary magician. This is a huge lineup that can only be organized by the magician guild with thousands of years of inheritance.The Glorious Alliance, which has three kingdoms and dozens of principalities, can't do it. The Kingdom of Arthur, which has more than ten legendary powerhouses, can't do it. The high elves with the highest natural magic aptitude of all races can't do it either.

Let those guys who are fascinated by secular power and rude violence take a good look and accumulate the power of thousands of years of wisdom!

This is the thought that arose in the minds of hundreds of members of the Magicians Guild at the same time. According to the plan in advance, each of them poured all their magic power into the magic ring magic circle under their feet, and then spread it in all directions until The entire valley is covered with magic patterns like glowing spider webs.

There is a beautifully decorated obsidian altar in the center of the magic circle of the magic ring. There are countless hideous and terrifying demons carved on the surface of the altar. The eyes of each demon are inlaid with flawless garnets. The appearance is lifelike, as if it can jump from the surface of the altar to hurt people at any time.Seven especially huge demon statues are placed around the altar, holding a crystal ball in their hands stretched out towards the sky. These crystal balls are emitting a soft light, and are slowly changing colors, making the surrounding Everything presents a strange and magnificent color texture and level.

A double-wire ring surrounds the altar and the demon statue. This double-wire ring is made of some kind of peculiar material. It should look like metal, but it feels smooth and moist like crystal.The space between the two rings is filled with alchemical runes inlaid with gem fragments, and many hexagram alchemical symbols of different sizes are drawn. If you count carefully, the larger hexagram is 24, and the smaller one is 360. The smaller one has [-] five, which happens to be the same number of nodes as the magic circle of the sealing ring.

There were only two figures standing close to the double-line ring, one of them was covered with a layer of dark blue flames, it didn't seem to give people a hot feeling, but chilled the bottom of his heart; the other was dressed in The entire body is wrapped in a scholar's robe, on which there are countless magic-weave runes shining with colorful light, as if the luxurious necklace worn by this person suddenly extended tens of meters, and then wrapped around his body superior.

"President Alyaf, the achievements of the Erudite Guild in exploring the ancient ruins are really enviable and amazing." A reserved and gentle voice came from the mouth of the figure enveloped in the dark blue flames. "This artifact-level alchemy robe can turn a great magister who barely touched the ninth level of magic into a legend-level powerhouse. It makes people admire those ancient alchemy masters."

"You're too polite, Mr. President Ermufasa. Even wearing this robe, I can only barely have a pseudo-legendary strength that doesn't even have a domain." The figure shining all over the body said in a humble tone. , "Even this insignificant power can only be possessed in the magic circle of the magic sealing ring, and without the help of the seat mentors and members of the magician's guild, where can I get together to activate the magic sealing ring?" What about the 24 great magisters? Not to mention the power of more than 300 great magicians to help stabilize the magic circle."

President Ermufasa let out a low hum of satisfaction, "You will have this power, President Aryaf." His head shook up and down as he spoke, "Imprison the great lord of the abyss, Amur Hydra. You have half of Si's credit, I will not forget my promise, from now on you will be the first vice-chairman of the Wizards Guild, and all members below the seat mentor will listen to your transfer."

"Ah, thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Ermufasa." The president of the Ermufasa said in a joyful tone, "At the beginning, I was worried that you would have the same views as those secular people. , regard summoning and enslaving abyssal demons as an evil ritual."

"An evil ritual?" President Ermufasa replied with a sneer, "No, President Aryaf, there is no difference between evil and righteous in the summoning ceremony itself, only strong and weak, but the intention of the summoner can be Decide the good and evil of this matter. The fact that the Abyssal Lord is controlled by the Magicians Guild is obviously very beneficial to the entire continent. The Abyss Demon Realm can no longer cause harm to the continent, and wise people will eventually be in the place of fools and fanatics On top of that, what could be better than this?"

After saying these words, President Ermufasa couldn't help but let out a burst of cheerful laughter, and his eyes on the obsidian altar became even hotter, even the dark blue flames protecting his body couldn't be covered.

"Of course not, President Ermufasa." President Aryaf swung his head back, and then he also laughed.

With the joint efforts of 360 five great magicians and 22 great magisters, the energy contained in the magic circle of the sealing ring quickly reached a certain threshold.The double-line ring began to glow with a soft purple luster, and the seven demon statues surrounding the obsidian altar were also stained with a grotesque and distorted light, as if these statues suddenly came alive, threatening all the good things in the world with their fangs and claws. thing.

"The charging of the magic circle of the sealing ring has been completed, Mr. Ermufasa." President Aryaf gestured a few gestures, and then said respectfully, "If you are ready, do it now The sacrificial ceremony of summoning the great lord of the abyss can begin."

"Of course...oh, no, wait a minute..." President Ermufasa just wanted to agree, but hesitated again, "President Aryaf, can you make sure that there is nothing wrong with this sacrifice ceremony? Those who participated in the ceremony The great magicians only temporarily lose half of their magic power, and will not cause any other damage? Whether it is tangible or intangible?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ermufasa, will I put myself and the Erudite Guild in danger?" President Aryaf said with a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders. Problem, because we are using real name summoning, which can completely bind the soul of the abyssal monarch. Even if the strength of the abyssal monarch is beyond imagination, and can resist the restraining power of real name summoning, the magic ring magic circle will also suppress his strength to less than one-tenth."

President Alyaf paused for a moment, raised his hands, and his tone became more fiery and passionate, "President Ermufasa, I don't mean to offend, you may need to be afraid of a prosperous abyssal monarch—although I think Even in that case, you can win, but you only have one-tenth of your strength... Is such an abyssal monarch worthy of your worries?"

President Ermufasa nodded very slightly, "I'm just being cautious, Aryaf, just being cautious." He thought for a few seconds again, then raised his right hand, representing Wan, the highest authority of the Magicians Guild. The Staff of Law gleamed in his hand, "Then, let's start the sacrificial ceremony."

Following the magic signal sent by President Alyaf, the chant reverberating in the mountains of the Iron Furnace Mountains changed greatly. The originally obscure ancient language became an ethereal and soft chant, full of something heart-pounding. A sense of rhythm.The nodes of the magic circle began to flicker rhythmically, one light and one dark, the rhythm happened to be the same as the chanted spiritual song, and it seemed that a huge heart was beating.

Outside the valley, the dwarf general Tagna Warhammer suddenly narrowed his eyes, and stroked his proud thick beard suspiciously. "This song sounds so damn uncomfortable." He complained in a dwarf-like rough voice.

"It should be the wheat bar last night that made you unconscious, Your Excellency the General." A dwarf guard said loudly, while blinking his eyes funnyly, causing the other dwarf warriors to burst into laughter.The ale stored in General Tagna's house has always been of high quality and in sufficient supply, which made many dwarf warriors feel very envious and equally jealous.

"You should try a good way to sober up, Your Excellency General." Another dwarf guard suggested, "The High Priest of Terra said that as long as you hit your forehead with something hard, you will feel much better."

"Ha, a good way to sober up!" General Tagna bumped his head on the nearby rock, feeling that the inexplicable dizziness had indeed faded a lot, except for the sudden darkness in front of him. "The stone is on the top, why did this damn helmet fall off again?" He muttered and stroked his forehead with his hand, and was surprised to find that there was no cold and rough dwarven horned helmet there, and the feeling was still warm skin.

"Why is it so dark all of a sudden!" he heard a dwarf shout.

"Night vision is down, and by the rocks, what the hell are those juggling robes doing?" muttered the second dwarf.

"Earth Priest, where are your bright runestones?" General Tagna suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed to be empty and very uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.

There seemed to be a faint light flashing in front of my eyes, and then an earth priest shouted in surprise, "The bright runestone has no effect, it is suppressed by stronger magic power!"

"Then cast the spell of dispelling the gods! See what evil rituals those long-robed monsters are doing?" General Tagna growled in a low voice, and several dwarf earth priests immediately began to pray, but just as the prayers sounded, there was a piercing sound. The sound of cracking came from the depths of the darkness, followed by a strong smell of sulfur in the air.

The gap between the main plane and the abyss was torn apart.

Accompanied by thick smoke, strong light and white-hot flames, a huge black figure slowly emerged from the central area of ​​the magic ring magic circle.President Ermufasa couldn't help holding his breath. This figure was so huge that the obsidian altar with a height of ten meters was not as high as his waist. The white chain of light was tightly fastened, firmly fixed in the center of the magic circle.

This obviously made the huge demon very dissatisfied. He quickly raised his hands, and white-hot fire waves rose from his feet, sweeping the surrounding space of tens of meters.However, the violent flames suddenly stopped a few meters away from President Ermufasa, and turned back as if hitting an invisible barrier.

"Your strength cannot penetrate this barrier, Amur Hydras." President Ermufasa declared loudly with confidence. As a long-established legendary magician, it is not that he has not fought against the demons of the abyss. Having made friends, I know that a tough attitude is an important weapon against demons, and a weak heart will inevitably lead to the fragility of the magic barrier. "I am the legendary magician Ermu Fasha Osendinigo, the president of the Magicians Guild, I summoned your real name, Amur Hydras, you must obey my orders!"

The Great Lord of the Abyss raised his ferocious and terrifying head and let out a burst of violent laughter. That terrifying face was like kneading an ape and a hyena together alive, and his eyes were like two streams of blood. In the red crack, Fiercefire of the abyss is gestating in it, and it may erupt at any time to destroy everything.

"Stupid and weak mortal, how dare you command the great Amur Hydras?" When the demon spoke, the sound was like a series of thunderbolts exploding in his ears at the same time, and even the earth seemed to tremble amidst this terrible sound, " I am willing to answer your call, just because it is a shortcut, a shortcut for me to become the real master of this world!"

"I am the one who becomes the master of the world!" President Ermufasa uttered a roar that was almost as loud as the Great Sovereign of the Abyss. At the same time, he felt a trembling joy in his heart. It is definitely a new experience for President Ermufasa to reveal the secrets hidden deep in his heart. "Amur Hydras, in the name of the true name summoner, I order you to obey all my instructions, and the time limit for obedience is eternity! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" the huge demon suddenly interrupted impatiently, and at the same time stretched out a finger thicker than an ordinary person's arm, pointing the sharp claw at President Ermufasa's chest, "Do you think that with your Insignificant power can threaten the great Amur Hydras? You haven't even penetrated the secret of the source, you can only roughly attach it to the surface of your body to form a seemingly powerful false field. Any true legendary strong Anyone can easily see through your tricks in a few seconds, and easily tear you to pieces!"

The secret hidden in the bottom of my heart was suddenly revealed, and the dark blue flame outside President Ermufasa's body flickered for a while, and almost went out. "Lie, don't try to slander and deceive me!" After a few seconds of silence, the chairman suddenly roared, and at the same time raised the staff of magic in his hand, "Amur Hydras, I want you to do this for me!" Lies pay for it!"

President Ermufasa then chanted a mantra loudly in an obscure ancient language, repeating the real name of the great monarch of the abyss three times in the last part, and then slammed the staff of magic on the ground.

Countless pale bolts of lightning exploded on the surface of the demon's body, the demon let out a painful roar, and the waves of fire rising up under his feet suddenly extinguished and disappeared.

"This is my power, Amur Hydras, can you still see it as insignificant? If you don't want to try to accept such pain again, show me some respect!" Seeing that the binding magic of the real name summoning is effective, A happy smile climbed up the corner of President Ermufasa's mouth, but blindly forcing obviously cannot make the unruly and powerful demon bow his head easily, so the wise man also decided to slow down his attitude appropriately. "Of course, I will also respect your strength, King of the Abyss Demon Realm, you don't need to feel humiliated by this, because soon, I will have even stronger power and an immortal life!"

"What the hell did you instill in this lunatic!" The attitude of the giant demon suddenly became calm, and he let President Ermufasa finish his words playfully, then frowned. "So arrogant and stupid, His Majesty will definitely not like this guy's attitude, just kill him."

"What are you talking about?" President Ermufasa suddenly felt something wrong, because the demon was not looking at him at all, and his eyes were clearly behind him, "I order you to explain clearly, Almur Hayde Russ..."

Severe pain like burning suddenly erupted from behind, President Ermufasa's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he saw a bright blade poking out from his chest, the blade was dyed a little bright red .

"Yeah, I've had enough of this guy's arrogance, but you're not right about one thing. This president is just like this, and he wasn't my indoctrination and guidance at all." President Alyaf's voice came from behind. President Ermufasa wanted to curse and gather powerful magic to fight back, but as the blade retracted, blood gushed out from his chest. Take all the strength and consciousness out of his body...

President Ermufasa's body fell forward slowly, but his consciousness had already sunk into the abyss of eternal darkness before that.
