The 17 of them stood in front of the huge black palace and held their breaths. The Fire Elemental King Groms was not a humanoid creature, so the design of his palace was completely different from what humans would imagine. The unknown black rock rose up from the ground like a spiral pattern and slowly tilted downwards. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a bull's horn growing on the red earth. But the horn was huge, much bigger than Uther's castle.
In front of them was the huge entrance to the palace. It should be about two hundred meters tall and about eighty meters wide, but for some reason, half of the entrance had been torn off. Liang Lidong looked at it. The thickness of the gap was definitely more than fifty meters. Just by looking at this black rock, he could tell that it was very hard. In order to open such an exaggerated gap, physical classes had to learn mind weapon skills, and mages had to learn Spell Penetration. Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such an attack.
They were all professionals, and when they saw the gap in the gate, they were stunned for a while. Liang Lidong found a lot of gravel that had fallen from the gap nearby. He held it in his hand and tossed it. He found that it was small but very heavy, indicating that the density of this rock was indeed very high.
Because there was no sun or moon in the Inferno, only the red clouds in the sky provided a weak light, so the visibility in this world was not high. It was pitch-black inside the giant gate of the palace, and they could not see anything. They walked over, but stopped outside the gate. At first, they didn't feel anything, but when they got closer, they could feel two extremely powerful pressures coming from inside. It was aimless, yet it seemed to reject everything around it.
No one dared to go in, and they all focused their attention on Liang Lidong. After all, he was the one who suggested coming here to look for suitable magic materials.
The others couldn't see what was going on in the darkness, but Liang Lidong could. With the talent of the Cloud Dragon Blue Pupil, Liang Lidong could not only see the gift in the absolute darkness. Moreover, his field of vision was extremely far.
He looked a little surprised. After a while. He said to the person next to him, "Things have changed. Let's go in."
He took the lead and walked into the dark gate. Gavin wanted to walk beside him, but he only took two steps into the gate. Then, he took the initiative to walk behind Liang Lidong. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more normal.
The others were in the same situation as Gavin. They followed behind Gavin with strange expressions, as if Liang Lidong could block something terrible in front of them.
Liang Lidong walked a few steps, then turned around and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Everyone looked at him strangely with different expressions. Barbara was outspoken. She pressed down on her wildly beating heart and said, "Your Excellency Beta, don't you feel the spiritual force field emitted by the powerful creature inside?"
"I can feel it." Liang Lidong nodded. "It's such an obvious spiritual force field. Why can't I feel it?"
"Then why don't you feel fear?" Barbara was extremely curious.
The others looked at Liang Lidong with strange expressions too. They remembered that a few hours ago, when the black magic circle appeared, everyone was suppressed by the powerful mental strength in the air and could not move. However, Red Priest Betta was obviously not affected. Not only could he stand straight, but he was also able to stand up straight. Not only could he stand straight, but he could also launch continuous magic attacks at the illusion of the goddess in the magic formation.
This meant that he was immune to the suppression of powerful mental power. People with such abilities were usually either extremely powerful or had a special bloodline. The red Divine Priest was indeed strong, but not much stronger than them, so it could only be the latter. Coupled with the Mist Magic and Rain Magic that he displayed, everyone once again pushed his background status to another level.
The seventeen people walked inside in a row. The palace of fire elemental fire was unbelievably huge. Barbara cast a few illumination spells to lead the way. This was a spell that almost all spellcasters knew. Liang Lidong didn't need it because he had the Cloud Dragon Blue Pupil talent.
They walked for a long time. About half an hour later, six patches of light finally appeared in front of them. Although the spiritual pressure they felt was getting stronger and stronger, Liang Lidong walked in front and helped them resist most of the spiritual shock, so the people behind him didn't feel too bad.
In this pitch-black world, the presence of light meant that there were other beings or things. Everyone's spirits suddenly rose, and even their steps sped up.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, the mental pressure in front of them suddenly disappeared. Then, they all saw a shocking scene. Barbara even covered her mouth with her hands and looked at the scene in front of her with a horrified gaze. If an ordinary person saw this scene, they might be scared out of their wits.
The six patches of light they saw in front were actually six wings of light that were several meters long. They belonged to a beautiful woman who was more than three meters tall. The woman was nailed to the black rock wall by a huge black rock pillar, about ten meters from the ground. Her head was lowered, and her face was serene. If it wasn't for the huge rock spike in her abdomen, she would look like she was asleep.
And on the ground in front of the six-winged woman, lying on its back, was a humanoid black rock statue that seemed to be more than fifty meters tall. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a long sword made entirely of light pierced through its forehead. Three-quarters of the sword's length had already sunk into the stone statue's skull, and the rest of the sword was emitting specks of fluorescent light into the surroundings.
"What's going on?" Gavin stuttered. He turned to look at Liang Lidong. "Why did such a terrible thing happen? Who is that woman? "
Liang Lidong said strangely, "That woman is an angel, a six-winged angel. This stone giant lying on the ground should be the dead king of fire elementals. Obviously, they died together. "
"Don't talk about things that anyone can see." Gavin jumped and roared. "I'm asking you. You know the name of the six-winged angel, don't you? "
Everyone looked at Gavin, who had lost his composure, not understanding why he was like this. In the end, it was the old Great Swordsman who explained the reason. "Mr. Gavin should be a believer of the Light. Calm down. This is not the time to be angry. We have to work together to leave this place. "
Gavin froze for a moment. Then, he pressed his forehead, desperately trying to calm himself down. Katerina walked to his side and gently stroked his back.
After a while, he said, "Sorry. I was too excited just now. "
He didn't expect Gavin to be a believer of the Goddess of Light. He had hidden it quite well. Liang Lidong exclaimed in his heart. No wonder when he proposed to make Tina a Paladin, Gavin wasn't too conflicted, but it wasn't strange for him to believe in the Goddess of Light. Why did he hide his faith and act so agitated now?
After thinking for a while, Liang Lidong looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said, "This six-winged angel should be the third battle angel under the Goddess of Light. Claudia. I've seen her picture in a book. "
Liang Lidong had actually seen a video of her descending into the Overworld in the game. At that time, a team of adventurers had completed a strange Epic-level quest. However, Claudia had descended from the sky as the quest reward. Her radiance filled the sky, and her beauty shocked the world. Who knew how many male players dreamed of her?
But he didn't expect to see a dead Battle Angel in this place.
Hearing this name, Gavin howled and rushed over to Claudia. She kept confessing and crying, her voice extremely miserable. Liang Lidong was suspicious. He shouldn't have been so sad even when his wife died.
Although Gavin was behaving rather awkwardly and didn't have the etiquette that a noble should have, nobody laughed at him. In fact, they were all focused on the battle angel and the King of Fire Elementals. After all, those two creatures were myths and legends. Now, they had appeared in front of everybody except Liang Lidong. Everybody felt as if they were dreaming and couldn't accept it for the time being.
Liang Lidong walked below Claudia, and the six long wings of light were slowly dropping specks of light, which fell to the ground and formed two beautiful piles of stardust. Liang Lidong opened the system interface and found an introduction for these specks of light:
Angel Dust: Weak divine fragments. Absorb them for a huge amount of experience. Level 15 for safe absorption. Do not approach or touch them unless you are at a high enough level.
As he expected, Liang Lidong took a few steps back. He remembered that when Claudia arrived in the game, many people touched the stardust that fell from her six wings. All of them exploded and died except for a few who received abundant experience.
According to the statistics, the few who received experience were all strong people who had reached level 15.
While Liang Lidong was recalling what happened in the game, he heard noises behind him. He turned around, only to see a professional who was dressed as an officer of Winterwind jump on the King of Fire Elementals' body and all the way up to the King of Fire Elementals' head. He stood before the enormous lightsaber that could be used as a two-handed sword.
Uther cursed with an awful expression, "Bush, what are you trying to do?"
This professional officer looked down at Uther and laughed. "City Lord, do you know what this is? This is the legendary weapon used by the Battle Angels, the real Blade of Light. It is a divine weapon. As long as I have it, I can become the strongest warrior in the world. When that time comes, no one can be my opponent, and you, too, will have to look up to me."
Hearing that, Uther's face became rather awful. The other people also looked regretful, as if they had seen a ghost. They seemed to be regretting that they didn't think of that and charged faster.
However, three of them were quite calm. Katerina and the old Great Swordsman looked at the officer with a mocking smile, and Liang Lidong said slowly and solemnly, "My friend up there, forgive me for not knowing your name. I'm not very familiar with you, but since we've been comrades once, I'll give you a reminder. Only Legendary creatures are qualified to touch the Battle Angel's Blades of Light. They are forged from a large number of Divinity Shards. If a Junior Creature that has not received the blessing of Light touches these Blades of Light, it will only turn him into ashes and scatter their souls. "
The officer, however, looked at Liang Lidong in disdain. "You think I'll believe you? You nobles are good at nothing except lying. After I get the divine weapon, you'll be the first person I kill."
Liang Lidong frowned. He didn't understand why the officer had such a strong complaint against him.
The officer spat in the direction of Liang Lidong, and then with a look of ecstasy, he grasped the hilt of the Blade of Light with both hands. Just as the tip of his right middle finger touched the hilt, the entire blade of light vibrated with a buzzing sound. The officer was directly shaken into specks of light by an invisible powerful force. Not only that, but even the people below were greatly affected. Everyone was sent flying with a buzzing sound, and the distance they flew varied according to their strength.
Liang Lidong flew at least six meters back. He rolled on the ground to absorb the impact and then stood up. He was fine.
Although the old Great Swordsman also flew back about six meters, he did a somersault in the air and landed firmly on the ground. Although his face was a little flushed, it was enough to prove that his strength was stronger than Liang Lidong's.
As for the others, they all flew more than seven meters back. Katerina also knew how to absorb the impact of landing, so other than her hair being a little messy, they were fine. The others rolled on the ground, dizzy and disoriented, and it took them a lot of effort to get up. The one who fell the worst was Fatty Gavin. He was the heaviest, but he was also sent flying the furthest. When he fell from the air, his whole body was like a soft cake, and he fell with a thud and blood flowed out.
Katerina screamed and ran over to help him up. When she found that Fatty only hurt his nose and nothing else, she immediately relaxed.
After falling, Fatty Gavin stopped crying in front of the Battle Angel. He walked in front of Liang Lidong and said, "Your Excellency Beta, you are the most knowledgeable person among us. Can you tell me why Claudia died here, and why her body didn't return to Heaven?"
"I only know that more than three hundred years ago, there must have been a large-scale war between Heaven and Demon Realm." Liang Lidong frowned. "As for why the Battle Angel's body didn't return to Heaven, I only have a small guess."
Generally speaking, after a Battle Angel died, her body would decompose into pure light energy, and the Goddess of Life would return to the Divine Kingdom to reconstruct and be reborn.
"The channel between the heaven and the demon world may have been broken, it's gone!
