Chapter 1020: Annihilation Power
Amber said she "catched" a Tefeng man outside the castle.
However, in fact, the word "catch" is not suitable for the other party. He appeared openly in front of the guards of the castle, and after revealing his identity, he walked into the hall extremely cooperatively.
A tall woman wearing a high-end black maid costume with long black hair was brought to Gao Wen. Gao Wen could be sure that he had never seen this person anywhere, but he knew that the person who appeared in front of him at such a critical moment was definitely not a casual time, even if she looked just a court maid.
"She suddenly appeared in front of the guards and said that she was sent by Rosetta Augustus and wanted to see you," Amber reported on the side. "She seemed to have hiked through the entire blockade line..."
Gao Wen nodded and looked at the black-haired lady: "What's your name?"
"Diana, serve the Augustus family as a maid," the brunette lady looked at Gowan with an extremely calm gaze. "My master asked me to see you."
As for a person who calls himself a "maid", her attitude seems too calm and relaxed, which makes Gao Wen unable to help but become curious, but what he is even more curious about is the mission he shoulders: "What did Rosetta send you to do?"
"Do nothing," said the lady who claimed to be Diana, "the master told me to show you, and you will judge everything that is left to yourself."
"Do nothing..." Gao Wen's pupils shrank slightly. He seemed to understand something, but then he frowned and stared at the other party, "So, you are the 'signal' sent to me by Rosetta Augustus... But this is still too risky. Even if you do nothing, this signal is too risky..."
"It's okay," Diana shook her head calmly, "as long as I don't say extra words, I won't get into the sight of the gods because I have no heart."
"No heart?" Gao Wen looked at the other party with some confusion, but just as he was about to ask something, a low buzzing sound like thunder rolling in the distant clouds suddenly came from the high altitude in the east, interrupting his next words and attracting everyone's attention. The officers near the window subconsciously looked up in the direction where the sound came. Then, the changes between the heaven and earth in the direction of the Winter Fort were presented to everyone.
One beam after another cut through the dimness brought by the blizzard. Under the cover of the strange starry sky, with the main peak of the Winter Castle as the center, magic flame pillars that penetrated the heaven and earth rose at the top of more than ten mountain peaks. The powerful magic power tore the gathered clouds, stirring the edge of the blizzard, and bursting out a large range of lightning in the sky. At the foot of the peaks, between the vast plains and hills, a "giant net" with magic veins as a line is lit up bit by bit!
Amber looked at the light from afar, and finally saw some clues from the trajectory of the light veins. It was the barracks where the Tifeng people gathered on the defense line! It was a huge net formed by the stationing points of hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people!
She opened her eyes wide and suddenly turned her head to tell Gao Wen about her discovery, but before she opened her mouth, a violent flash suddenly came from a distance: among the dozen peaks with light beams, the beam of one of the peaks suddenly expanded completely, and a bright ball of light rose from there and flew quickly to the sky along the beam. After a few seconds of delay, the ball of light penetrated the clouds that had been torn to pieces again, and smashed towards the storm in the center of the plain at a nearly vertical angle, hitting the place where the God of War came!
The supernatural vision made Gao Wen see the scene in the distance more clearly than others. He watched the ball of light rise up, watched it fall to the storm, watched it explode in mid-air, tearing the curtain formed by the blizzard, and the dazzling light flow washed the earth like a waterfall. After a brief moment of surprise, he finally recognized what it was: "That is... the Creation of Annihilation?!!"
He suddenly turned to the lady who called herself "Diana", who just calmly met his gaze: "Yes, we have used the Creation of Annihilation for many years to restore this ancient magic."
"Do you want to rely on such an "Annihilation Creation" to kill a god?!" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, unable to help but say in a questioning tone, and at the same time subconsciously looked back at the distance. As expected, in the depths of the dissipating storm and fading light flow, a towering figure was emerging bit by bit.
Diana's voice came from behind him slowly: "Obviously, this is not enough."
...
The surging white light burst washed in the air like a flood. The miracle of the blizzard was quickly torn apart in front of this fierce magic storm, neutralizing a large hole. The annihilation fire caused a terrifying scream between the plains. After a brief delay, the mushroom clouds soared into the air and the rocks instantly evaporated. The hurricane blew away the soil and snow in the distance. The spherical shock wave visible to the naked eye spreads with the place where the God of War descended as the core.
However, as the curtain formed by the impact gradually dissipated, the towering figure appeared in front of everyone again, still standing upright like mountains.
The invisible wind blew across the plains, and the giant covered in armor stood quietly in the impact crater formed by the annihilation. A layer of iron-gray halo flowed through His body, and there was not even a trace of scar on the armor under the halo.
Then, He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where the "anti-infested worms and ants" were located.
Under the empty helmet, there was no flesh and blood, only a chaotic and crazy light flashing in the depths of the swelling and squirming unknown matter. In that light, there was no longer any reason or compassion.
He headed towards the direction of the Typhonites, and after a short second delay, he took steps towards the main peak where the Winter Fort was located. With this heavy pace, the earth began to tremble, and the magic power in the air boiled like flames. Many insects, ant beasts hiding deep underground and lucky enough to escape the wound of annihilation were driven away by huge fear and fled from their nests. They wanted to escape from this place frantically, but as soon as the ground emerged, they were burned to life and turned into various twisted and terrifying flesh and blood wreckage. Large areas of plants fell down in the wind. They escaped the torrent of magic due to a long distance, but quickly withered and died under the pressure of the mad God.
Rosetta Augustus stood in front of the illusion wall of the Secret Hall. On the wall, the terrible scene in the distance appeared clearly on the wall. The giant covered in iron-gray armor was taking steps, walking forward like a cold war machine in the direction of the Winter Castle. Death was the banner and military force behind him. Wherever his footsteps went, flames burned out of nowhere, and all life was quickly harvested.
The transmission crystal not far away was flashing with light, and the voice of the mage sentry came from it: "The first attack was invalid! The visual target was not damaged! The target is moving towards us!"
Rosetta's expression on his face remained unchanged: "Continue, second shot."
As he finished speaking, a white beam of light suddenly expanded over another mountain near the Winter Castle, and another huge ball of light rose from the magic circle on the top of the mountain. After a brief delay, the ball of light fell from the sky again, and the iron-gray giant once again enveloped the shock wave and mushroom clouds caused by the big explosion.
At the same time, on the vast land of the entire Winter Fort area, between the camps and posts with magic light flow, a sharp scream suddenly sounded over the camp of a magician regiment. The surge caused by magic turbulence hit the camp's protective facilities. The powerful and precise protective devices in the past seemed vulnerable in the face of the powerful magic skills from the ancient Gondor Empire. The surge instantly broke through the barrier of the camp, and countless fine electric sparks rolled over the entire camp like a huge wave.
Hundreds of low-level mages and their escort knights fell down one after another, some fell into a deep coma due to their magic power, while others were killed on the spot.
The magic network covering the Winter Fort's defense line suddenly dimmed, and in front of the defense line, the mushroom cloud that rose due to the explosion of Annihilation was rapidly dissipating.
The mountain-like giant walked out slowly, taking heavy steps, approaching the defense line composed of mortals step by step.
Several griffin scouts took off from the nearby sky and tried to circle and observe from the giant. However, two of the knights accidentally approached too much, perhaps because the two poor griffins were defeated by the ubiquitous pressure. They and their masters suddenly rushed in the direction where the giant was, and they collided with the giant's iron gray armor like flying insects hitting the bell tower.
The surface of the armor that seemed to be made of metal suddenly appeared layer by layer. The two griffon knights and their mounts melted into the armor as if melted, leaving only a spot like rust on the spot.
After just half a second, even the spot disappeared completely.
The voice of the sentry came from the crystal: "The second attack was invalid, the target was not damaged! Continue to approach our defense line!"
Rosetta stared calmly at the image projected on the illusion wall: "Continue."
The third ball of light rose, and correspondingly, another camp on the defense line suddenly fell into darkness.
The huge mushroom cloud once again covered the sky and the sun, and the giant figure was once again shrouded in the heavy curtain. However, the heavy footsteps once again sounded from the depths of the explosion clouds. The earth was still trembling. Accompanied by this terrible tremor, the huge iron-gray figure walked out with high speed!
Palin Winterburg stood on the high mage tower and looked at the giant in the distance that was constantly approaching Winterburg through another monitoring device. The learned and brave leader of the fighting mage felt his heart pounding. He had never experienced the tension, fear and even despair that he was as strong as today, even without the spiritual pollution from the gods, the huge pressure still made him feel a little suffocated. He looked at the giant who was constantly moving forward and clenched his fists hard, only to realize that his palms and backs were already sweating.
Three times of annihilation! Three times! Even the most powerful fortress created by humans cannot be safe after being continuously bombarded by this terrifying magic, but that giant... He did not even slow down!
Palin Winterburg knew what the Creation of Annihilation was. He had personally participated in the analysis and restoration of this ancient magic and personally completed its last link. This was a terrifying force originated from the ancient Gondor era. Once only the magic of the Deep Blue Well could support it to appear in this world. Now, Tifeng's mages can rely on unique group casting techniques and huge magic supply to make it reappear in the world.
Every annihilation is accompanied by a huge price. Hundreds of extraordinary people will be drained, and the priceless crystals and gems are burned into powder. Many people may even pay their lives. This is a not-favorable weapon. When it is completed, many mages even feel disappointed that it is difficult to use in actual combat, but now it is taken out to achieve a task that must be completed no matter how much the price it costs, but... can this really be completed?
A sound of swallowing saliva came from the side. The Count of Winter Fort knew that this was an unintentional movement from a nervous mage officer, but he did not have the slightest criticism and reminder at the moment. He just stared at the scene projected by the magic and stared at the figure of the giant.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped at some part of the giant.
Near the giant's shoulder armor, near the surface of the armor near the arm, there was a very inconspicuous black mark. It was so inconspicuous that at first Palin Winter Castle thought it was just some stains, but he quickly realized: How could there be stains on the gods?
It was a crack! A real crack!
The protection of the gods can be penetrated!
Palin Winterburg felt his breathing suddenly become rapid, and the mage not far away from him who was responsible for observation and reporting had already walked to the messaging crystal, and the latter reported with a hint of nervousness: "The third... the third attack was invalid, the target was not affected..."
"The attack is effective!" The Count of Winter Fort rushed to the messenger crystal like a gust of wind, and even almost knocked the mage sentry responsible for reporting the situation out. "Your Majesty, the third attack is effective! A crack appears on the target's armor. His protection can be penetrated!"
He reported excitedly, and the opposite side of the messenger crystal responded to him was a short second of silence, and a calm voice: "Continue."
...
The images presented on the illusion wall were disturbed by magic. After a moment, the interference disappeared, and the giant who continued to move forward appeared again in front of Rosetta Augustus.
At the feet of the giant, "war scorched marks" filled with death, blood and flames have spread to the edge of the Winter Fort's defense line.
But the giant was not without damage to the armor on His body, indeed a rift appeared. Although it was inconspicuous, the cracks really existed.
Rosetta narrowed his eyes slightly.
Today is the New Calendar Festival.
Today's gods... are not invincible.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out of thin air and said very inappropriately: "It seems that the progress is good on the surface...but it seems that the 'good cards' you reserve are not enough to intercept him before he completely destroys the entire line of defense."
The illusory starlight surged in the hall of secret techniques, and an empty eye floated in the air, staring at Rosetta.
"What is the spell you used... Ah, it does seem to be a little power, but it is still a little worse after all. Is it a little far behind to destroy a god based on these arrangements alone?
"And that's what I said... Is this giant's God really a God of War... It seems to be different from what I remember..."
"Is it crazy that distorted His image? It's so sad. It's such a sad thing to fall into madness..."
Rosetta Augustus seemed not to hear the ramble of the eye in his ear. He just stared calmly at the scene presented on the magic projection, then raised his head and looked at the sky on the west side.
"The fourth attack works, Your Majesty, the target continues to be damaged, but there is still no sign of weakening. The target begins to approach the first cordon!"
Rosetta retracted his gaze and looked at the magical illusion projected on the wall in front of him.
Chapter completed!
