The sudden change did not disturb everyone's situation. Everyone grasped their weapons and prepared their spells, and evacuated the abandoned house in an orderly and fast manner. As soon as he came outside, Hao Ren noticed a strange scene:
A huge, translucent hood was shrouded outside the abandoned house at some point. There were pale magic runes floating on the surface of this energy hood-like thing. The dense fog around the town gathered above it, rotating and compressing into a Substantial fluid is injected into the energy shield. This thing blocked everyone's way from all directions. Seeing this situation, Lily immediately drew out her ice and fire claws to dig a hole out. Nangong Sanba quickly grabbed the reckless girl: "Don't act rashly! Find out what it is first thing."
"We're trapped," Heatherana said with an extremely ugly expression, "This is a trap!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then began to rummage around in the portable space to see if there were any suitable tools. But before he could take out his things, there was a sudden movement in the open space outside the barrier: thick fog The mist rolled up, and a whirlwind of black smoke was rolled up in the mist. The black smoke quickly gathered a large amount of soot from all directions, and gradually formed a human shape - it was the Lord "Hemerwin" who had dissipated in the house before. .
However, this man now looks very different from the previous one who shrank his neck and cowered. He straightened his back, held a strange short scepter in his hand, and had an indifferent and cold expression on his face, as if watching Standing outside the transparent shield like a group of experimental materials: "Do you know how long I have been waiting?"
Nangong Sanba raised his hand crossbow to aim at the opponent: "Hey Mowen, what does this mean!?"
"I'm just gathering the necessary power for my gate," "Lord Hemerwin" said expressionlessly, and at the same time pointed to the magic barrier above everyone, "I advise you not to act rashly. The magic power of the century, its power is enough to trap an ancient god in the age of mythology in a short time. You have nowhere to go, and the wisest thing is to be quiet and wait for it to drain you dry. If you don't resist, this It won't be painful."
Following the words of "Hemerwin", the voice fell. The magic barrier above everyone hummed slightly, and the pale runes moved back and forth in a complicated way. Start to draw all the power of life inside the barrier. Hao Ren noticed that the weeds under his feet were quickly turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the big house behind everyone kept making weird creaking noises. Nangong Sanba and Cassandra reacted first, they felt dizzy for a while, and the power in their bodies passed away quickly like a hole!
Heatherana finally came to her senses at this time, she pointed at "Hemerwin" with a long whip: "You are not the lord...you are Baptiste!?"
The man outside the barrier nodded expressionlessly: "Is this hard to guess? You've only realized it now, little vampire girl."
Hao Ren immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that everyone had been fooled from the very beginning!
The man in front of him was not a so-called lord ghost at all. He was actually the wizard Baptiste they were looking for—he had necromancy applied to himself, transforming himself into one of those half-human, ghost-like monsters made of ashes, thereby obliterating himself completely. As a wizard, the mark of mana erosion left on the body, what he said before was all false—this guy's purpose from the beginning was to lure people into this abandoned house on the high ground.
He set up a black magic formation here that can extract the power of life!
Hao Ren thought of the various performances of the other party when he was active as "Hemerwin", the cowardly attitude, the sometimes nervous and sometimes hysterical frenzied reaction, now it seems that these actions are covering up, they are To divert the attention of his party: He made himself act like a messed-up aristocrat so that no one would pay too much attention to what he had to say. Don't ask him too many things!
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Baptiste seemed to have concluded that the people in the barrier had no ability to resist, he said to himself while waiting for the magic formation to draw enough magic power, "I left a lot of secrets Clues. I’m just waiting for unlucky people like you. Ah... How rare are experimental materials with magical powers? The power I squeezed from a hundred ordinary people is not as much as a magician can provide. And today So much has come at once! I have been preparing for so long, I have been preparing for so long! Now I am finally going to make up for the last bit of magic that I lack... I can finally go to the depths of Purgatory!"
Baptiste seemed to be immersed in some kind of crazy imagination. Living alone in this ghostly place for hundreds of years made him completely crazy. While talking to himself, he unconsciously waved the weird short Stick, the expression on his face is constantly changing between numbness and madness. Following his words, Hao Ren saw something emerging from the thick fog a few meters away.
Wisps of mist flowed in the air as if they were real, and under the traction of magic power, a huge vortex outline was outlined. Red lights emerged out of thin air in the mist, gradually forming a huge spherical structure. It is inlaid on the surface like a huge eyeball with a radius of several meters. Inside the sphere of light and mist, a distorted landscape like a different world is looming.
The Gate of Purgatory—Baptiste actually found the law of connection between the purgatory space and the earth. Everything was as precise as calculated, and at the same time as the magic power gathered, the gate of purgatory appeared in the focus of the magic vortex!
It's a long story, but all of this happened in a very short period of time. After noticing that the situation was not good, Heatherana immediately launched an attack on the magic barrier. She raised the long whip high, and the long whip was surrounded by icy wind and hissing electric current. When the long whip was swung down, there was a thunderous explosion, and the movement of the whip on the barrier was immeasurable. , but this attack did not play any role. Then Duncan and Cassandra also launched a series of attacks on the magic barrier, but after a violent explosion and vibration, the barrier remained motionless.
The short staff in Baptiste's hand flickered a few times when the barrier was attacked, and he glanced at Hesiana indifferently: "It's a useless struggle, it will only waste your strength in vain."
"Do you fucking know who you're plotting against? My mother can scare your back out by telling her name!" Hesiana pointed at Baptiste angrily and cursed, then jumped to look at Hao Ren, "You Isn't it awesome? Think of something quickly at this time!"
Hao Ren reached out to touch the bomb from the portable space, but before he took it out, he saw Lily suddenly running in front of the barrier.
The husky girl first scratched the barrier with two paws to confirm that it was really strong, and then made a move that no one could have imagined:
She lay down on the ground and quickly dug a hole...
Everyone knows this girl's ability to dig holes. She can dig a hole and bury herself in a blink of an eye even with her bare hands, not to mention she is still swinging her two paws. Fountaining back, she had dug a hole beneath the magical barrier in almost seconds, allowing her to burrow out.
Yes, she got out just like that.
At this time, Baptiste was still holding up his stick and posing. It’s not that he didn’t see Lily’s movement, but even if he saw it, he really couldn’t think of how to react: This is how normal people think when they first meet a husky. situation. The bad-bellied wizard just kept his reflex arc off-line and watched Lily burrow out of the ground, not thinking of how to stop her... because he was unprepared for this situation.
Lily came to Baptiste in such a generous way, reached out and snatched the other's short staff: "Dobi, there is nothing under your magic barrier."
Baptiste seemed dumbfounded: "... I've never seen one that can punch holes before..."
Lily curled her lips, and broke the short staff in her hand casually, and the magic barrier around everyone immediately shook and dimmed. Heather Anna strode towards Baptiste furiously, preparing to teach him a lesson, but at this moment, something unexpected happened:
Baptiste suddenly let out a strange cry, turned around and rushed towards the gate of purgatory not far away! (to be continued~^~)
