Chapter 74: Next
Before the returning team returned to the stronghold of the city, Diana and the others in the city had already captured a warehouse building that was heavily guarded by monsters. Although this time they faced far more and stronger enemies than before.
, but relatively speaking, this time all of them have relieved their burdens and exerted their due strength unscrupulously. Under the protection and permission of the two goddesses, whether it is Diana, Aurora, or Li
Whether it's Ze or Puffy, everyone no longer sticks to conventional methods to deal with the crazy counterattacks of these monsters.
Facing the tentacle monsters coming like a tide, use big magic to destroy the terrain to create an advantage. Facing the evil eye monsters that consolidate and suppress the magic, then if you can't use magic, just switch to guns and pour out firepower. Facing those hidden creatures
For the ghosts in the shadows, just use magic or incendiary bombs to burn the entire area and let the light of the flames force these guys out of the shadows.
Putting aside the first two monsters, the seemingly invisible monster like the ghost is actually not that scary. After Hex’s explanation, everyone understood its weaknesses. In fact, the ghost itself is just a pile of smoke-like objects.
Energy aggregates are very fragile. A slight violent impact can damage their body structure, so a grenade can easily deal with them. As for their tricky attacks, Desmo helps defend them, so
After the most critical threat was gone, everyone quickly invaded the inner areas of the city with overwhelming force.
Although the monsters are very strong, in the final analysis they are just flesh and blood. If it were not for the fact that they all have some relatively unusual abilities to protect them, then speaking of it, they can actually be killed with swords. Moreover, just like those floating in the sky,
The magic eye monsters in the sky can indeed use magic shields to protect their fragile bodies, but if the bullets cannot penetrate the shields, just replace them with armor-piercing rockets. Anyway, the strength of magic is there.
It's the upper limit, if one is not enough, get another one.
During the previous battles, everyone was always worried about attracting more monsters, so they did not dare to fight with ease. This directly led to the miserable results of the previous battles. But the situation now is completely different, and everyone hopes that there will be more.
They came here to die, and they didn’t care about the impact of the surrounding buildings during the battle. They basically demolished the houses wherever they came. After fighting all the way, there was basically no intact building in the battle area.
building.
This large-scale destruction not only effectively stopped the sneak attacks and ambushes of the home monsters, but also inadvertently provided a good means of venting to the depressed people, especially Diana and Aurora, who were actually
Erica has been in a bad mood since she disappeared, and encountered various annoying things along the way, so Desmo and Hex let them go.
In short, under everyone's full attack, they were very close to the palace in the city, but just when everyone was planning to rest on the spot and then attack in one go, Hex told Diana an unexpected news.
"Erica isn't in there?!" After hearing Erica's news, Diana suddenly stood up from the ground excitedly.
"Well... I was there before... It seems..." Hex lowered his head and began to use his abilities to search the entire dungeon, because she was also surprised that she just moved her "sight" away for a while and then lost it.
Target.
"Did she escape?" Diana picked up her P90RT excitedly and looked around quickly and asked.
"Yes, but she didn't escape..." At this time, Desmo walked over from nearby with Ruby in his arms and said, "She has been away from there for a while, and... that thing is still with her.
.”
Desmo was still a little unhappy when she said "that thing", so she looked at Hex very dissatisfied and asked deliberately: "It will protect Erica, right?"
"Well, yes, at least in my opinion, there's not much difference between that thing and Ruby..." Hex pointed at Ruby in Desmo's arms, but before she could finish her words, she was
Desmo slapped his fingers away and was threatened by his eyes.
"Don't compare that thing with Ruby!" Desmo yelled in dissatisfaction, startling Ruby who was sleeping in her arms. When she felt that the little one had woken up, Desmo quickly comforted her and left the place quickly.
Ruby's current condition is not very good, because her injuries are indeed not serious, and they healed on their own in the end, so Ruby, who has just recovered from her injuries, is very tired, and has been held by Dess since the beginning of the war.
Follow behind and rest.
Although Desmo had just revealed Erica's whereabouts, Diana was still eager to know the other person's specific situation, so she tried her detection magic again and again to no avail, so she had to run in front of Hex.
He asked anxiously: "Where is she?"
"It's quite far away from us." Hex pointed in a certain direction and said with some confusion: "I thought she would solve the problem inside... I didn't expect that she would leave..."
After getting Erica's direction, Diana hurriedly turned around to leave, but before she could take a few steps, she was blocked by a shining hexagonal aperture.
"Have you forgotten what I said before? Now is not the time to join her. It would be safer for her to move alone at this stage."
Listening to the words coming from behind, Diana gritted her teeth unwillingly, then silently lowered her head and returned to her original position, sat down with the P90RT in her arms, and spoke in a very pale tone.
He said to himself: "I have never felt this irritable before. I have only been away from her for only 3 hours, and I already feel like I am about to lose control..."
"I understand that you are anxious, but in fact I am more worried about Erica's safety than you are." Hex stood up, walked to Diana and sat down, and then pulled out a cylindrical leather bag from her waist.
And pulled out the magic map that had not been used for a long time. Hex unfolded the map, then looked at the incomplete display on it and said helplessly: "Although I am a god, I do not have the ability to control everything.
I told you the origin of this thing before, and also told you everything I know about this matter, but you know, in fact, even I am very worried about this accident..."
Hearing the word "accident", Diana raised her head very dissatisfied and glared at Hex with a ferocious look without any scruples. Because she learned everything about this place from Hex not long ago.
, of course, including the monsters here and what kind of beings are behind the scenes, and also the true identity of the guy who Desmo called "that thing" before. But the result now is that no matter which truth it is,
Far beyond Diana's original speculation, especially when Diana learned that the reason why Erica separated from her turned out to be an accident beyond the goddess's plan, which led to Diana's complete inability to accept that Erica was separated from her.
Rika has always been around such dangerous monsters, so she had an extraordinary fighting spirit and fought all the way to get close to Erica.
After she learned the truth, she had always been strongly dissatisfied with Hex, because she had always thought that all the difficulties she and others encountered were arranged in advance, so except for one thing about Erica's disappearance,
Apart from the panic at the beginning, he didn't show too much nervousness. Even in the three subsequent battles, he reluctantly gritted his teeth and persevered with the idea that it was planned.
But later I discovered that these were just wishful thinking. This goddess who can destroy the world is actually not good at strategies and plans, especially her plan full of loopholes that actually led to Erica being kidnapped by the most dangerous monster.
This stupid consequence. In the end, Erica's safety relied on a very ancient "insurance measure", but it was a pity that this old insurance could only protect Erica for a while, just like what I had done before.
The worst-case scenario is that insurance can prevent monsters from hurting her, but it cannot stop other monsters, especially the tentacle monsters that are everywhere in the city. Any one of them can easily hurt the defenseless Erica.
When Diana heard her original plan and analysis of the current situation from Hex, she became furious instantly. It was the first time in her life that she had been angry, and it was even the first time that she had been angry at a goddess. Later, when
After she calmed down, she was still not worried about her previous reckless behavior, because at this time, Diana had devoted herself wholeheartedly to the plan of how to rescue Erica. At the same time, Hex, who had been tortured for a long time, also
There was no dissatisfaction with Diana. On the contrary, he was very active in studying the next action plan with her. However, although the ultimate goal of both of them was to join Erica, they had some differences in the process of formulating it.
Considerable disagreement.
What Diana wants is to find Erica at all costs and take her out of this hellish place. This is not because Diana is losing her temper, but because she has determined that the trouble here is not something that they can handle.
, so she did not regard this incident as a task that had to be solved personally.
Hex's view is completely opposite, because she doesn't think the enemy this time is very difficult. According to the current cooperation between Erica and all her companions, it is indeed an enemy that can be solved, especially Desmo in the middle.
She also interfered randomly and even created a strange earth elf to supplement her fighting strength. Therefore, under Hex's judgment, she felt that it was better to let this messy trial continue, and she was confident that Ai
Rika passed this challenge and became familiar with the way to fight this enemy in preparation for certain possibilities in the future.
Hex indeed told Diana everything about the dungeon, but she did not intend to tell her everything about Erica, because not to mention that it was still too early, and the most important point was that
Hex actually didn't think that these two people would be together forever. After all, their lives were completely different. In the future, they would definitely experience life and death, and there might be no need to let Diana know what happened after that.
However, although Hex has such thoughts, it does not mean that she does not trust the reincarnated elf from the earth in front of her. On the contrary, in the time since the encounter, she has actually cared more about Diana than Erica. Of course
There were some things that Hex was helping secretly, and Hex had no intention of letting them know. Even like when Diana was angry with herself before, Hex not only didn't feel angry at all, but even felt
She felt a sense of relief, because she was sure that Diana really valued Erica, so this was enough for Hex to put aside other dissatisfaction with satisfaction.
However, things have to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Hex still insists on her own opinion. Later, she did not care about Diana's dissatisfaction again, but concentrated on using her own power to debug the magic map created by Severna. Although creation
The level of the user is very different from his own, but in fact the ability used by this item is not that great, because at this time Severna created the item with reference to human-level abilities, but the magic system used is much higher than
Nowadays, human beings have a higher level of control. So Hex’s intervention is not that difficult. Soon the map with incomplete content was restored to its original state, just as it was shown when used on the ground. The entire dungeon
All terrain in the area is completely mapped onto the map.
Hex expanded the display range of the map, and then quickly found the target location he wanted to see. Erica was currently in the underground area almost 1 kilometer away from here, and the guy she marked before was also there.
He was indeed following her, and Hex added his own perception ability to the map and clearly displayed the specific situation around Erica on the map.
Judging from what is displayed on the map, Erica is fighting several monsters. Of course, that guy is also helping her deal with other monsters. Overall, this should be a very easy battle, and Heike
Si also judged their purpose from their traveling route.
"Oh...dirty hands? It is indeed a priority target to be solved..." Hex muttered casually, inadvertently attracting the sulking Diana sitting next to her.
Diana also stretched her head over and took a look at the map. She instantly understood what was on the map. But she did not immediately open her mouth to ask, but quietly looked at the plan of Erica fighting the monster on the map.
.And although both the judgment of the floor plan and the specific battle situation at this moment showed Erica's advantage, Diana did not feel relaxed. On the contrary, the more she looked at it, the more worried she became.
It wasn't that Diana felt that Erica was at a disadvantage in the battle, but that she felt uneasy as she kept staring at the large turbid light spot near Erica. According to Diana's understanding of the function of the magic map, this area had never appeared before.
The irregular light spots were what Hex had mentioned before, and she instantly understood why Desmo had disagreed with Hex's point of view.
This monster is so alien. Judging from the colors it contains, there are at least three different tones. In addition to the red and orange that represent Hertogos, there are also green that represents well-meaning humans and gold that represents gods.
, that is to say, this is a dangerous monster that I have never seen before, and it is extremely dangerous beyond common sense.
Since neither Desmo nor Hex had mentioned the monster's name, Diana could only rely on her own understanding to speculate on the monster's true identity. After much deliberation, it seems that the only comparison
The only ones that are suitable are the Tartine Witches. After all, Desmer had previously admitted that they were once servants of the gods, and that they were also degenerates corrupted by Hertogos. And according to other clues, the servants of the gods were originally
He is also a human being, so the green spots of light make sense. At the same time, the servant of God can be regarded as a being with divine status, so there is no problem with a little golden light. Finally, the red-orange color that occupies the largest area is Hutto.
The Servant of God corroded by Gors, then this thing can only be the last Tartine Witch... No, maybe she should be called "Taltine".
Regarding this group of servants of God who had unfortunate experiences, Diana could only express her helplessness. After all, that was nearly a thousand years ago, and at the moment, Diana cared more about her Erica than they did, so when she saw "Tatin
"Ni" will inevitably feel unusually uneasy when standing together with Erica. Because both Desmo and Hex clearly said that the last survivor of the Tartini Witch is the tower that was once the god of the underworld.
Ms. Tatinny, and this guy is still the most dangerous existence among them, because the "Ms. Tatinny" in history was a complete madman both before and after her death. Although she was once a deity in the underworld,
But she was indeed a human being, but the priesthood in the underworld is slightly different from the feudal system that ordinary people imagine. Most of the gods in the underworld are held by dead souls, and the number of gods there is far more than
The number of followers of Severna, after all, they have too many territories and people to manage.
In other words, the underworld god "Tardini" is not a very important existence in the underworld, but because of her special role as a servant of the gods, she attracted the attention of the Hertogos who invaded the world.
Wanting to corrupt the gods, they captured Tattiny and hatched her into the same kind. However, since Tattiny was already crazy, she was out of control after being corrupted. She made a random fuss and then disappeared.
She fell into people's sight until she suddenly went crazy again hundreds of years later, but by that time she had completely become a mortal being, but she was surrounded by several servants of the gods who were also corrupted. This is what the legend says
The true origin of the notorious "Tardini Witch".
Now that she has determined that this guy is the crazy woman "Tatini", Diana will never think that she will stay by Erica's side to help her, even if Hex says that she has lost her
Memory cannot calm Diana's mood. After all, in her opinion, this "Tardini" is a lunatic that even Hertogos cannot control. What if she suddenly loses control and hurts Erica? According to her evaluation of strength
, even if she has now degenerated into a mortal, she is not something that she can easily deal with. Just judging from the number of monsters she has destroyed on the map, it has already put her under great pressure.
"Then what should we do now?" Diana gritted her teeth and made up her mind before asking: "Since you said we can't go there now, then there should be a goal for us, right?"
"Of course..." Hex put away the map, then pointed at the huge palace not far away and said: "Our primary target is there..."
