The Whispering Verses Chapter 2875: Treants and Insects
Chapter 2874 Tree Man and Insect
After setting off again with Margaret's blessing, Shade went directly to the east of the city to find Carina and the others. At this moment, looking down at the city from a high place, all that can be seen is the thick green mist that is sweeping in.
This miasma has a sweet smell, the kind of smell foreigners remember from inferior industrial saccharin. Except for ring warlocks like him who are extremely physically strong, even high-level warlocks must use the "Head Soaking Curse" to protect themselves from any influence.
So when Shade discovered the Witch and her group, he found that everyone's heads were covered in transparent bubbles. The same goes for Carina. Seeing Shade's expression of holding back laughter, the beautiful red-haired witch reached out and made a layer of bubbles for him, and then continued to walk deeper into the thick fog.
At this time, even if [Night Watch] is still inserted into the scabbard [Edgeless Blade], light is still seeping out from the gaps in the scabbard, which also means that the whisper element is everywhere. After an hour-long search, Shade, the two great witches, and the girls from Gaohuan had visited every corner of the East District of the city, even the dirty and smelly garbage alleys, but they still The so-called tree man could not be found.
By the time they returned to the Accordion Hotel, it was almost four o'clock on Friday morning. But if the miasma remains this strong, I am afraid that Vista City will not be able to see the sun even in the early morning.
The people who went out took a short rest, and the maids who stayed behind prepared tea and snacks for everyone. After Shade drank a cup of tea, he went to Luvia's place, and the purple-eyed girl finally came to the conclusion:
"The tree is in the city, but it is not in reality, but in someone's dream. The specific location is in the middle of the city. I cannot accurately know the address of the dream object, but the whispering element in that person must be the most Strong.
Force it out of the dream, and then you can destroy the tree man's body in reality and end tonight's disaster. ”
Luvia’s divination consumed too much energy. After leaving the divination results, she was supported by Lesia and returned to the room to rest.
But there is no need for Shade and the witches to look for the dreamers in the city next, because not long after he shared Luvia’s divination results, the whole city shook slightly and the whispering elements became stronger. Fluctuating, the shadow of the huge thing appeared in the thick fog directly to the west of the hotel.
That direction is the direction of the Golden Concert Hall, and the shadow that appears as if the space suddenly moves is the shape of a huge tree.
After it appeared, it was immediately attacked by thaumaturgy in the fog. The witches in the hotel immediately recognized it as the magic of the church. In other words, the church has already forced out the big tree hidden in the dream.
The tree itself was glowing, and its shadow in the fog looked taller than the tallest building in the city. As the shadows of the tree crowns swayed, thicker fog continued to spread from the city center towards the city. Facing the attack, an old sigh of "Ah~" hit everyone's spirit like a heavy hammer.
But even though the tree man is a relic, its appearance is obviously abnormal. From a distance, there seemed to be something like a cyst on the tree trunk. It was not until Shad, Carina, Sylvia and dozens of girls from the high ring approached the battlefield on the roof that they discovered it. The trunk of the huge tree man was now covered with large swaths of white vesicles. Even if you didn't have trypophobia, anyone with a normal mind would feel nauseous when they saw this scene.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are black bugs curled up in those white vesicles. The pink crown and black trunk make these things very conspicuous in the strange pink light. Shade, who had seen similar things in underground mineral veins, recognized them at a glance as sleeping paradox insects.
These vesicles are attached to the upper end of the trunk of the giant pink tree man, and some are even directly attached to the facial features of the tree man. They kept squirming with the violent trembling of the big tree, as if sharing their power with the relics. The power of the bugs converges into the trunk, then blends into the miasma, until it erupts from the dense canopy of the giant tree.
This is probably the reason why the sage-level relic [Dream Tree] suddenly possesses the power to divide time.
Underneath the tree man are four legs composed of human-looking black roots, and there are two arms made of thick wood on both sides of the trunk. It "stands" above the golden concert hall, with its legs straight enough to prevent its body from touching the concert hall.
I don’t know whether it is because of those sleeping paradox insects, but this tree is extremely resistant to divine magic. The raised wooden arms easily blocked most of the attacks from the fog, and as the tree man's mouth opened on the dry bark, large swaths of black bugs flew out.
But fortunately, those human-sized flying insects that resemble "paradox bugs" are not paradox bugs, but they also have the power of time.
The church's ring warlock team hidden in the fog immediately attacked the flying insects. Immediately, a thunder exploded above the city, and then in the violent explosion that seemed to shake the world, hundreds of thunder bombarded straight from the sky. Towards the crown of the ancient treant.
The pink luminous crown immediately grew upward under the bombardment of thunder. The dense pink light at the ends of the branches formed a barrier to resist this round of lightning strikes. However, higher up in the night sky, "Thunder's Fury" Gareth・The thirteen-ring life ring behind Mr. Sander faced the starry sky. During the second round of thunder bombardment, there were even meteorites falling downwards mixed with the thunder.
"Power of the Earth・Earth Energy Cannon!"
Eluna's voice came clearly in the fog, and the light that immediately lit up seemed to illuminate the darkness before dawn. The huge orange light held up by Iluna gradually fell. On the trunk of the tree man who had resisted almost all the attacks, six additional hands grew together. Immediately, eight hands moved forward to block the falling tree. "sun".
The "sun" was held tilted by eight hands, so the fog quickly dissipated in the sun's supreme rays, thus revealing the thirteen life rings behind the gryphon spreading its wings high in the sky.
The gryphon had brown wings, and on its back, a paladin from the early sixth era drew out his sword.
That is not a high-end relic like [Night Watch], nor is it even an alchemy item. But when the serious knight took the sword out of its sheath, the sound of friction between the blade and the scabbard could be heard by almost everyone at that moment.
The tree's crown resists lightning strikes, and its trunk resists the power of the sun. Facing the sound of the long sword being unsheathed in the air, the tree man opened his mouth and sprayed out a black light, but it was blown away by the lightning strike. He also wanted to move his position to avoid the incoming fatal attack, but the ceremonial base array surrounding the golden music hall had already been It took shape, and golden chains locked its four legs. It wanted to move, but it was already difficult to move.
The "Blade of the Sky" was unsheathed, and as the gryphon glided past the clear night sky, hundreds of stars in the starry sky shone brightly and then connected into the shape of a long sword.
The paladin raised the sword in his hand high. When the sword fell, the "Sword of the Sky" in the starry sky also swung down. The tree man was then overwhelmed by the irresistible starlight, and soon the crown and trunk of the tree were lost at the same time. The falling lightning destroyed the branches that breathed out the miasma, and the sun's rays purified the bark that released the poisonous insects.
When the strong wind summoned by Miss Maria, the "Nightmare Witch" who was watching the battle from the sidelines, blew by, the fog dissipated and most of the city center no longer had any trace of the pink tree.
"Even if you are strengthened, you are still no match for the Thirteenth Ring. Do you think you still need our help?"
Miss Sylvia on the roof asked Shade, and Shade nodded affirmatively:
"Already here!"
As the relics dissipated, the vesicles originally attached to the tree trunks fell to the ground one after another, and then fell deeper into the ground as if melting. The church's ring magicians immediately cast spells to try to keep those bugs. Whether they found a way to completely eliminate them or study their weaknesses, they were all harvested.
But most thaumaturgy cannot work on these sleeping evil things. More importantly, at this time, the buzzing sound came from below the ground and became louder and louder. People in the air and on the ground looked at the four-leaf clover petal square on the east side of the "Golden Music Hall". There was no sound of impact or breaking of the ground. The huge paradox insect broke out of the ground from under the square, buzzing~ The sound shattered the glass of the entire block in the form of a sonic attack.
"It's the Paradox Bug! The third backup plan! Prepare the ceremony!"
From the direction of the natural church in the distance, bright golden rays shot straight, and soon the entire night sky lit up with the brilliance of a magical ritual centered on an hourglass pattern.
The light of the ceremony was even brighter than the moonlight and starlight. The bugs that broke out of the ground were originally illusory due to the unstable nature of time, but they immediately slowly solidified under the light and shadow of the ceremony.
The ring warlocks of the church changed their positions to prepare for the ceremony. At the same time, as the whisper element appeared again, the light emitted by the unknown relic effect covered everyone flying in the air. Soon, those who were originally unable to attack the "paradox insect" "All the thaumaturgy bombarded the insect's carapace.
This is a race-nemesis relic specifically targeted at the "Zerg" race. Although the "Paradox Bug" race is an "ancient evil" rather than a bug, it happens that it has the appearance of a bug.
The bug was about the same size as a small apartment. The bombardment of thaumaturgy caused it to deviate from its flight path, but immediately its wings vibrated, and the white mist from the narrow space of time that represented "time instability" quickly filled in. A void of green miasma.
Even the magical spells and relics under the starry sky could not completely dispel the white mist, and the effect of the second round of thaumaturgic attacks was greatly reduced due to the cover of the white mist.
Fortunately, Iluna, who was flying in the air on a skeleton horse, held up the dark golden scale in her hand and pointed it at the insect in the air. The moment her beautiful heterochromatic pupils met the compound eyes of the paradox insect, Bai Bai The fog has all disappeared, which means that the power of "balance" has re-stabilized time and space:
"It's now, hurry up!"
