Blue Sword

High in the sky on the top of the mountain, a large ball of light is suspended.

About two dozen ordinary people were tied to crosses on wooden stakes and stood in a circle around the ball of light. Blue spiritual tentacles continued to drill in and out of the victims' facial features, taking away the mysterious energy belonging to human spirits and replenishing it to the huge blue ball of light in the center.

Some of these victims were fishermen fishing nearby, and some were merchant ships passing by and attacked by Dream Paradise. From last year to now, the number of living people who have been sacrificed has reached thousands, which is of course still insignificant in the entire Eastern Solomon Empire.

If you continue to extract spiritual energy for another month, the entire island will soon be pulled into the boundary between reality and illusion, becoming an isolated island in the collective subconscious, an eternal paradise.

At that time, it can appear in reality, or it can travel in the ocean of the collective subconscious, becoming an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack haven in the dream paradise.

Since collecting the plane fragments of Paradise Mountain, the Reverend Alexander of the Dream Paradise branch in Asia Minor has secretly formulated this ambitious plan - to transform the entire Paradise Mountain plane fragments into belonging to the Dream Paradise Sect. Demiplane branch, thus being able to completely avoid the continental heresy attack plan launched by the Holy See of Solomon every few years.

Of course, due to the unique defensive advantages of the demiplane, this demiplane branch will surely be promoted to the headquarters soon. At that time, Pastor Alexander will no longer be just the leader of a branch, but will most likely smoothly Enter the church elders and become a popular and powerful figure in the denomination.

As long as he still holds the authority to open the plane fragments for one day, all kinds of upper-level power struggles will not even affect him, and he can sit firmly on the throne of the elders.

This is the ulterior secret ambition of Patriarch Alexander.

"An alarm came from the No. 1 defense line at the bottom of the mountain," one of the priests said. The four priests present were all confidants of Patriarch Alexander. Therefore, his first reaction was not that someone leaked information, causing the demigods from the Eastern Solomon Empire or the Dream Paradise headquarters to come, but that there must be some passersby who did not know the truth and landed on the island.

It can pass through the outer territory of dream creatures and let the sleeping warriors at the foot of the mountain sound the alarm. These passing people still have some fighting ability. Just when Father Alexander was thinking this, the priest who initially called the police suddenly changed his face:

"The No. 1 defense line has been breached! The two sleeping warriors signaled silence! The No. 2 defense line...the No. 2 defense line has also been breached! The enemy is moving towards the No. 3 defense line, and the No. 3 defense line has also been breached!"

"What are the characteristics of the intruder?" At this time, Pastor Alexander was also calm and asked quickly, "Are they equipped with heavy firepower weapons? Or are they high-ranking extraordinary beings?"

"Fire!" Through dream contact, the priest saw what the sleeping warriors saw before they died, "Boundless flames!"

"Could they be demigods of the flame sequence?" Pastor Alexander's face changed drastically, "But the demonic tide hasn't risen yet! How can these demigods act at will?"

In the plot of the closed beta version, the upper limit of the transcendent level is 5. This upper limit does not mean that extraordinary people cannot reach level 6, but that the extraordinary creatures distributed in the mainland and the extraordinary power that can be obtained can only support extraordinary people to reach level 5 at most.

If it is an old monster that survived before the 5th or 4th era, let alone level 5, there are levels 25 and 35. However, they cannot move freely in the world. On the one hand, the high-level extraordinary creatures corresponding to the potion materials they promoted have already fallen asleep, and there is no similar existence in the world; on the other hand, using abilities at will consumes spirituality, and the current level of the demon tide The spiritual consumption is not enough to replenish their daily use ability.

To use a metaphor that is vivid but not appropriate enough, suppose that a level 5 transcendent eats a pound of chicken every day, and a level 35 transcendent eats a pound of beef every day. Then the current level of magic tide has caused pheasants to be everywhere in the continent, but the bison They all dug holes to sleep.

Therefore, level 5 extraordinary people can run around and jump around, but level 35 people can only lie dormant and pretend to be ordinary people, otherwise they will starve to death if they consume their spiritual energy frequently.

Therefore it is absolutely impossible to be a demigod! Father Alexander came to the conclusion that unless the information about the fragments of Paradise Mountain was really leaked (however, the only four subordinates who knew about it all stayed with him day and night at the top of the mountain, so this possibility was ruled out) the visitors would at most be members of the bloodline. There is an existence within Road Level 5, otherwise it would be impossible to hit the door directly.

"All the sleeping warriors guarding the mountain road, all retreat to the top of the mountain to defend!" The enemy is advancing so fast, which shows that the two or three sleeping warriors are no match for them. The reasonable response is of course for everyone to retreat to the top of the mountain and then concentrate their efforts on fighting the invading enemy. Patriarch Alexander immediately gave the order.

"Go to hell, you pig!" On the mountain road, Medea in the flames yelled angrily, and once again used a fireball to smash a dream warrior off the cliff. She muttered to herself, her body covered with high-temperature flames, floating and rushing towards the top of the mountain again.

The other three girls didn't dare to get too close to her, for fear that their hair or clothes would catch fire, so they could only rush forward along the mountain road.

Along the way, the frequency of encountering mobs became less and less. Asker noticed this keenly. It seems that the BOSS has recalled all the mobs to the top of the mountain. Is he planning to wait and wait for the group to attack?

It's a pity. If it were the height of the demon tide now, I might still worry about any traps. The dungeon BOSS in the public beta stage would only be level 5 at most.

Just rush in and kill them.

Rushing to the top of the mountain, the view immediately became clear. At the top of the mountain is a huge, open flat land, about a few hundred meters in diameter. A conspicuous spiritual light ball was suspended in the air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Then there are the victims, sleeping warriors and dream priests tied to wooden stakes below. At a rough count, there are about twenty enemies.

There was no need to talk nonsense at this time. We had already hit the enemy's lair. What else could we say? The battle almost broke out on the spot. The Dream Priest on the opposite side took the lead in casting a spell and summoned five Dream Dolls, all of which were fully armed steel power armor knights.

Eleanor was almost in tears, why are you all looking at my memory?

In fact, Nora and Paige have never seen extraordinary people before. Medea is now in a state of spiritual loss and cannot read her memory. Ask was hiding far behind again, so of course the dream priests could only find their target in her memory.

So Eleanor's father, two uncles, and the two most powerful knights under his command were copied. The two-meter-high powered armor was filled with murderous intent, which immediately emboldened the priests a lot.

Before they could really feel at ease, the rampaging Medea had completely exploded. She widened her bloodshot eyes and looked at the many male NPCs in front of her. She simply squeezed out the little spiritual energy she had left, shouted angrily, and fired the fireballs in her hands randomly, instantly destroying the enemies present. They were all washed, and the entire top of the mountain was almost in flames.

Without the psion's collective suggestion, Eleanor and Paige could only press forward. The former relied on the defensive power of the armor and the long spear with the advantage of distance to continuously attack the crowd. The latter relied on his super-fast movement skills to wander around the edge of the battlefield, and from time to time he would get close to an enemy and stab him in the back.

Nora stood there a little helplessly. At this time, she did not have any fighting ability and could not participate in the battle ahead. No one paid attention to her for a while. Suddenly, she heard Ask's cry from behind:

"Nora, come here!"

She quickly turned her head and saw Aske hiding obscenely behind a small slope on the mountain road, quietly watching the battlefield from a hidden place. Nora hurriedly ran over and stayed with Aske, and she suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

"Do you see the five people wearing priest robes opposite?" Ask pointed into the distance and said, "Those five are the BOSS."

"Yeah." Nora nodded obediently, "What do you need from me?"

"You don't need to do anything." Asik said, "Next, they will activate the light ball on top to use their ultimate move. I'll see if I can kill one of them. You can clearly see the light ball's ultimate attack. Which one is it? If it’s Eleanor or Medea, don’t worry about it (one of them is thick-skinned and the other has high health and can’t be killed). If it’s Paige, just remind her loudly.”

"Won't that attract enemies?" Nora asked.

"In the violent mode of Medea with full firepower, their first strategic goal is to kill Medea, otherwise they have to bear her firepower to rush over. The sacrifice is too great." Asker pointed at himself with his thumb. Pointing, "Besides, isn't there still me?"

"Okay." Nora suddenly felt confident and stared at the light ball with all her attention.

I saw the five priests on the opposite side spreading their arms in a gesture of "hugging the sun". Blue brilliance emerged from their eyes and noses and rushed toward the large ball of light above their heads. The blue brilliance gathered into a torrent on the surface of the light ball, and suddenly rushed towards Eleanor.

Soul torrent!

Eleanor was fighting bravely beside Medea when she was suddenly hit by the torrent of souls. She held up her shield to guard against the brilliance of mana falling from the sky. She felt a heavy pressure bombarding her shield, and she almost couldn't hold the handle of the shield with the five fingers of her left hand.

While Eleanor was knocked out, the sleeping warriors and power armor knights next to her immediately stepped in and attacked Medea in the flames crazily. The latter's style of play is also like a madman, constantly throwing high-temperature flames around, just like an erupting volcano.

Suddenly there was a gunshot, roaring like thunder. Asker's Imperial Eagle fired an elephant bullet, which penetrated the chests of the three sleeping warriors and exploded a large hole in the chest of one of the priests.

The other four priests immediately changed their expressions when they saw this, but because they were maintaining the torrent of souls, they did not stop casting spells immediately.

It was the BOSS's hesitation at this moment that Aske had calculated in advance. There were three more short and continuous gunshots, and the three priest bosses fell immediately in response to the sound.

At this time, the only remaining Priest Alexander did not dare to continue casting spells, and quickly interrupted the torrent of souls (at this time, Eleanor was almost hit to the edge of the cliff by the spell's ultimate move, and would have fallen off the cliff and been killed by the map one second later) ). Following his order, only half of the warriors were left around Medea to continue to entangle her, while the other half flew in the direction of Ask.

"Be careful, I'm leaving." Asik said to Nora, and then raised his sword to meet the surging enemies. Looking at Asik's back as he rushed out, Nora almost burst into tears - she thought of the legendary novels she had read. Heroes were always like this with a single sword, facing an enemy that far exceeded their number. One who faces difficulties fearlessly.

"Lord, please bless Mr. Asker. May his long sword drink blood on the battlefield, and may the enemy's evil blade never touch the corners of his clothes." She knew in her heart that she was now powerless. I couldn't help rushing to the battlefield, so I could only close my eyes, my long eyelashes trembling slightly, and silently pray to God.

Asker drew his sword and charged towards the enemy. The illusion of the knight in power armor rushed towards him. He stepped aside to dodge the hammer, and with a backhand stab, the long sword penetrated the knight's unprotected joint gap.

Then he quickly drew out his long sword and blocked the attacks of the two sleeping warriors on the left. With a light flick and pull, he pulled their attacks to the right. The sword edge smoothly pressed the neck of one of them, quickly and skillfully. After a half-circle circumcision, blood spurted out from the cut trachea.
