The Divine Hunter Chapter 11: Idalan
Boom!
A pale electric light burst out from behind the wall of illusion and struck the demon hunter head-on. The mud and dirty water were stirred by the electric current and filled the air.
The five fingers of Roy's left hand outlined the Helio Seal, and at the same time he raised it diagonally upward, opening an oval pitch-black shield. Lightning struck the shield horizontally and was annihilated in mid-air.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his expression suddenly changed. Dozens of lightning bolts intertwined into a dazzling curtain of light, striking head-on from the darkness. The arc stimulated the hairs on his face to stand on end!
"Whoosh"
At the critical moment, Roy's body flashed back following the arrow... The electric current that almost occupied the entire sewer caught his original position and surged through the monster corpses piled on the ground.
Zizzizi…
The mutilated corpse seemed to have come to life, with twitches incessantly and its eyelids beating constantly. From a distance, it looked like it was rolling its eyes at high speed, with a sneer on its terrifying face, which was so eerie that it made people shudder.
At the same time,
The pool of blood on the ground looked like boiling water, and the aroma of barbecue spread.
……
"Huh..."
After a full five seconds, this terrifying electric shock completely ended.
Roy stared at the corpses on the ground that were cooked by the electric current and emitted black smoke, feeling lingering fear.
At this time, his companions at the rear also finished cleaning up the attacking monsters and came to his side.
This group of mutated monsters is at most as dangerous as the bat-winged brain demons.
And they were large in number, equipped with magic weapons, and had sufficient supplies. Apart from losing some strength and magic power, they were unscathed.
"You're lucky, boy." Kalkstein stared at the dark tunnel ahead, his face rarely becoming serious, "The lightning storm is much more powerful than the previous series of seemingly useless traps. Even if I'm not careful, If you catch the Tao, you will die."
"But the more dangerous it is, the closer we are to the goal!"
"Now, since the action has been exposed, we will openly and openly 'knock on the door' as a guest!"
The corners of the alchemist's mouth grinned with excitement, his eyes shone, and his withered fingers grabbed hold of the air.
An exquisite alchemy product like a work of art appeared in his palm, like a wolf spider magnified dozens of times. However, the surface of the body did not have any texture of flesh and blood, but reflected the metallic luster. Eight spiders were arranged in three rows on the head. The green eyes were swaying, cold and mechanical, without a trace of biological emotion.
The two jaws at the front of the mouth swing up and down.
A faint chaotic energy is stimulated all over the body.
Eight slender legs covered with metal hair pushed up and down the mage's palm, and it fell lightly to the ground.
The eight legs swung rapidly against the ground, blinking into the darkness ahead.
The demon hunters took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and harvest the spoils of war.
Soon, a series of movements came from the front, which became very lively. The sounds of explosions, burning flames, water impact, stones falling to the ground, and the sound of wall collapse kept ringing.
At the same time, it is accompanied by red fire, purple arc, dust, smoke...
The entire sewer trembled in this violent vibration.
But this drainage system that the elves repaired in the past is still standing strong even after hundreds of years and such a magical explosion.
……
After a quarter of an hour, the movement subsided.
The alchemical tarantula emerges from the gray dust and smoke.
The two chelicerae at the front of the body were severed from the middle, and the smooth metal shell was covered with tiny pits, making it ugly.
The eight emerald-like eyes are dim.
"Oh, poor little guy, thank you for your hard work!" Kalkstein immediately held it in his palm, rubbed his back with his fingers, and rubbed its little head with his sparse goatee like a pet, his face full of pain. Put it into space.
"Okay, masters, all the traps have been triggered, and it's safe inside."
Everyone nodded approvingly at him.
The wisest decision of this trip was to invite Kalkistan, although a lot of commitments were made for this.
But it's all worth it!
The demon hunter put on double shields and entered the tunnel.
"The master's alchemical wolf spider is simply a work of art. Can you..." Lambert gave a thumbs up to the alchemist and looked around him curiously, as if he wanted to figure out where he hid the wolf spider. .
"Of course it's no problem. I've always done fair business and I'm honest. As long as you give me money, I'll make one for you." The alchemist stroked his beard and smiled brightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. Like a profiteer who sees a big fat sheep.
"How much?"
"Have you seen the two missing legs? You work day and night on commissions for a year, which is almost enough. This is because you are a member of the brotherhood. 10% off."
Lambert rolled his eyes,
"Just think I just farted!"
……
This foggy passage seems to have been destroyed by war. The ground is filled with broken stones, powder, and walls. The ground is covered with traces of burns, electric shocks, and frost freezing.
In addition to most upgraded magic traps, there are also a dazzling array of physical traps.
The length of the entire straight passage was only a hundred meters, and there were more than twenty various mechanisms. Everyone was walking with fear.
"The Mercer structure...isn't this the secret of our Snake Sect?" Seret squatted down beside the closed bear trap, and murmured to himself as he turned his eyes, "Is this trap a trap?" At the hands of Grand Master Ivar?"
The three big men from the Snake Sect couldn't help but feel complicated, and memories appeared on their faces.
……
But within a few seconds of recalling it, the pendant around the demon hunter's neck was like a sparrow struggling in a net, vibrating desperately and about to break free.
At the end of the corridor, outside a purple door, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared. His face was as white as a corpse, his sinister features, and his narrow eyes penetrated the fog, and he met everyone's eyes.
Full of surprise, sarcasm, and cold murderous intent.
Roy was shocked.
A painful memory emerged from my mind.
Arzu’s disciple, the master of transformation field, Idalan!
You don’t need to catch me this time, I’ll give you a ride myself!
"Whoosh—"
The bow string buzzed and the arrow shot through the air!
But it hit an invisible wall halfway, plummeted, and the gem mark shattered.
But Roy's figure had already flashed past.
The hands under Idalan's sleeves crossed on his chest to draw a double cross spell that was as red as flames.
The abundant magic power above the cross divides the space.
The **** cross blinked from the center point outwards and expanded into a square crack.
But not for destruction.
But summon!
Roar!
A giant bear with double horns on its head roared and jumped out of the blood cross, waving its gleaming claws in the face.
Roy was in mid-air and slashed out a **** slash.
The blood-colored air waves separated the shadows that were coming towards me like a hill without any hindrance.
Roy instantly stepped between the two halves of the horned bear's body!
The dripping flesh and blood was bounced away by Quinn's shield.
When Idalan saw this, without saying a word, he greased his feet, split his body into several afterimages, and got into the door behind him.
Whoosh
Roy flashed in, followed by everyone.
In an instant, the color of the world changed.
The dilapidated ruins shrouded in gray fog in front of the door were replaced by dazzling neon lights surging behind the door.
He seemed to have entered a colorful botanical garden from a dirty sewer!
About ten meters wide and five meters high, it extends as far as the eye can see to the end, but there is no trace of Idalan.
The surroundings are no longer littered with the same garbage, sewage, excrement, and stone slabs.
It is full of colorful fluorescent plants such as morning glory and gourds, as well as plants that look like sea intestines, corals, starfish, seahorses, and pineapple-shaped trees. They are all strange shapes, but without exception they shine with coquettish, alluring, and novel fluorescent lights. .
The air is filled with all kinds of strong smells, fruity, sweet, herbal bitterness, and the smell of durian.
Geralt sneezed and subconsciously held his breath.
Look up.
Red, green, and purple vines with broken leaves hung down from the ceiling. There was no wind, but the vines swayed and rustled.
The walls and floors are covered with a thick, elastic membrane that feels sticky and soft when stepped on, and has a temperature comparable to the human body.
And these four walls are like life, shaking and swaying very slightly.
It reminds people of the tongue coating and stomach wall of some huge creature.
Those gorgeously blooming exotic flowers and exotic plants are fungi parasitic in its body.
Tat-tat-tat.
Roy took a few steps forward hesitantly.
In an instant, the fluorescent plants underfoot were squeezed by external forces and sprayed out clusters of tiny robes, flying all over the sky like fireflies.
His face turned red.
Make the nearby space dreamlike.
"Guys, don't go any further. Something is wrong." Roy frowned.
The ancient blood in the body suddenly boiled, and it was unbearably hot.
A blurry picture appeared strangely before his eyes.
Four hazy tall figures, with their backs to him, stood on the edge of the cliff, taking a step forward, looking down into the abyss that would make people shatter into pieces. Valley
Upward, there is a ladder that reaches straight into the sky and towers into the clouds. At the end, you can faintly see a Milky Way with changing and blurry colors? An octopus with wriggling **** tentacles?
What does this vision mean?
An atmosphere of suspense strangled the witcher's heart.
Not only is it dangerous, there seems to be something complex, extreme, and difficult to describe deep in this strange world.
He did not dare to get involved easily.
Behind the crowd, the door to the ruins of the China Unicom Agency closed unconsciously.
Aiden and Cohen are trying to use their seals and silver swords to bombard and chop.
But it had no effect except creating a black scratch.
The only good thing is that everyone's magic power is running smoothly and they can use the teleportation crystal to escape at any time.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, no need to hold your breath...these plants are non-toxic and harmless." Kalkstein put away a silver jellyfish suspended in mid-air.
Quickly putting on a pair of white leather gloves, he casually grabbed a mistletoe-like fluorescent plant from the ground.
The colorful colors on the surface of the branches and fruits are constantly changing, sometimes bright red, sometimes dark, sometimes like morning glow and fire clouds.
"I can guarantee that this is not a plant born in our world... The effect is unknown, but careful study will definitely lead to the development of many new potions. There are at least hundreds of varieties, more than what Roy brought back from Skyrim last time. Much richer."
"You mean Idalan and the four great masters have been to another world?" Seret's face was solemn.
"Without a doubt."
"Haha... Your Excellency has good eyesight..."
Suddenly, a cold voice like a poisonous snake sounded. It seemed to be very close, coming from the heads and feet of everyone, and it seemed to come from the far horizon, sometimes near and sometimes far away.
"If you visit me in a few months, I will open the door to welcome you and have a good exchange with you about my experience in developing alien plants."
"Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time."
The cold voice turned into surprise and complaint,
"Ivar, this idiot, insisted on being exiled in the first place! It would be great to kill him, once and for all. Now the trouble is coming."
The voice paused, with a hint of admiration.
"Roy, you are worthy of being the master of the fragments, and you are able to safely cross the barriers of the world and return."
"I don't know how you did it, but you made a huge mistake. Since you were lucky enough to escape, you should hide it honestly, but you have to show up and take the initiative to enter my territory! ”
"Do you know?" He said in a down-to-earth preaching tone, "There are countless choices in life, at least half of which will bring you luck, but you just made them at the wrong time and in the wrong place. The most ridiculous choice. Ruining all the good possibilities with your own hands, leading your own destiny to destruction and eternal darkness."
"How stupid!"
"Let me give you some pointers, you idiot!"
When everyone in the Snake Sect heard the name of the Grand Master, they simply ignored his insults and showed uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
"Where is Ivar Evil Eye? Why is the grand master of the Snake Sect hiding his head and tail?!" Oakes tentatively shouted towards the dark opposite side, "Call him over here! Let's talk about it?"
"You guys went wild on my carefully laid out territory and destroyed dozens of my experimental animals. Although they were all semi-finished products, I felt terribly distressed. You still want to negotiate peacefully? No way!"
The voice paused,
"They can't come either!"
"What do you mean?" the bald man asked with a change of expression.
But the voice ignored them.
And Roy's mind was spinning,
Thinking of the clues Triss found, the four masters were about to achieve their goals and visited the Blue Whale Tavern to celebrate.
And now only Idalan greets them.
Is it possible that those four guys and Arzu are at some critical juncture and have no time to separate?
And, they also brought another fragment?
So Idalan did not use red light.
"Have you killed enough monsters? Now, let me try a new trick for you!"
The words were full of joking.
Idalan snapped his fingers.
Roy pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrow penetrates forward into the depths of this fluorescent botanical garden, like mud and stone entering the sea.
When there was a slight wave, it was completely melted away.
At the same time, a whistling cold wind blew up.
A huge sense of crisis surged in Roy's heart. He suddenly bent his knees and squatted down, raising the black Helio Seal with his left hand, covering his surrounding companions.
Coral and Kalkstein crossed their hands to cast spells, and a storm of magic surged outside the mage's robe.
The demon hunter stands with his sword in hand as if facing a formidable enemy!
However, there was no trace of the expected modified monster.
It was quiet all around.
There are only fluorescent plants swaying enchantingly, as if shaking their heads and sighing at everyone.
What's going on?
Huchi
No warning.
In the center of the team, the oldest wolf sect demon hunter suddenly groaned, covered his neck and sat back on the ground.
The steel sword in his hand dropped weakly.
Curched up like a cooked shrimp.
The face is flushed, sweating profusely, the wrinkles are twisting and bulging like earthworms, and a humming sound is coming from the throat,
"Vesemir?!" Geralt quickly supported his body and checked anxiously, "What's wrong?!"
Beads of **** sweat came out of his furrowed cheeks. He looked ferocious, and his eyes were so wide that they were about to pop out.
"Old guy, don't let anything happen to you, otherwise how can we explain to Madam Marina?!" Eskar continuously sketched the Yakxi Seal at Vesemir to soothe his pain, but it had no effect.
"Speak, guys, what happened to him?!"
Vesemir's symptoms worsened at an alarming rate.
Within ten seconds, his hands and feet began to twitch.
Hold Geralt’s arm tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.
Coral touched Vesemir's forehead and it was frighteningly hot. She then opened his swollen eyelids and said, "It's not just fever, convulsions...it's also accompanied by internal bleeding."
Lambert took out a bottle of life-restoring potion from his potion belt.
Pour it into Vesemir's mouth.
Unfortunately, the latter bit his mouth tightly, and most of the medicine flowed out of his lips and fell to the ground.
The effect is minimal.
His condition is deteriorating rapidly.
Terrifying drops of blood oozed from the surface of the skin.
The kindness, humor, and open-mindedness on his face were all gone, leaving only pain and ferocity.
Geralt simply took off the bottle of life-saving high-level vampire decoction from the medicine belt on his chest. ~IndoMTL.com~ Reso held an acorn in his sandbag-sized fist.
"It's useless, man..." Kalkstein shook his head, "It can only keep him going for five more minutes! The root cause of the disease must be found."
"Beast! Idalan, you despicable villain, a hidden rat, a pervert who plays with corpses, do you dare to come out and quarrel with us?!" The hot-tempered Lambert couldn't help cursing into the dark space. .
"Haha, you get so angry so easily? Where did your patience go when you were hunting monsters and solving various requests for farmers in the countryside?" The voice was light and cheerful,
Roy stared at the old man from the wolf faction and activated observation.
Vesemir
Age: 307
Health: 180/250 (evil possession, bleeding, suffocation, fever...
……
Huh? Possessed by evil spirits!
"I have an idea, guys!"
"Let go, I'll do it!"
Roy knelt down and held Vesemir's shoulders.
My mind moved.
Shocked!
The pupils reflect the color of blood.
The extremely familiar scene appeared in front of everyone again.
Thousands of **** tentacles came out of the void, waving and swinging, and whipped the old man on the back!
Crack!
Vesemir's body froze, and even the pain and soul on his face froze.
At the same time, a blurry, ghostly hazy human form was whipped out with black smoke. It was skinny, with protruding cheekbones, and covered with tattered cloth, like a humanoid evil ghost.
As soon as he appeared, the tentacles wrapped around it like a tide, pulling it away, wrapping it into a blood cocoon, and holding it in the air, away from Vesemir.
Only the short pale golden hair is exposed, the withered and twisted face, and the deep eyes that are cold and hide a trace of pain.
Roy was shocked.
A strange sense of familiarity came to my mind.
He has seen this evil spirit before!
