Chapter 257 Father and Son
The time went back to when the battle was just about to heat up——
The Temple of Blood had just unfolded, and the world suddenly changed. The air above Black Wind Castle seemed to be dyed crimson, and the blood in the entire city seemed to be converging on some invisible altar, turning into this scarlet field!
The players in the distance widened their eyes. They were originally eager to rush into the battlefield, but now they all stopped, with expressions of astonishment written on their faces like "Did we go to the wrong dungeon?"
A skeleton mage wearing a black robe and holding an undead staff looked at the surging blood-colored clouds in the distance. The staff trembled slightly in his hand, and the skeleton rattled uncomfortably.
After a long time, he said with emotion.
"... Damn, the road that two people fought has been wiped out, how dare we rush up just now?"
Fortunately, his profession is an acolyte, so instead of going up by himself, he recruited a group of cannon fodder babies to die for him.
Beside him, a lizard player with emerald green scales all over his body and a huge bow on his back clicked his slender tongue with a trace of sincere appreciation in his tone.
"Tsk, tsk, if this scene was made into a CG promotional video, it would probably fool all the players on the Internet."
"You call this tricking?" A little devil player rolled his eyes, looked at the towering bloody temple in the sky, and said with envy, "Can a closed beta game do this? This is a live-action movie!"
In the distance, blood-colored mist rolled, black flames intertwined, and the two strong men on the battlefield were like two towering mountains.
Under the destructive energy collision, the surrounding buildings turned into dust, and the air was compressed until it let out an overwhelming scream.
At this moment, the nearby combat professional players were communicating in low voices.
"Tell me, if we rely on numbers to kill those two guys, how many people will be needed?" An undead warrior wearing iron armor touched his chin with a hint of thought in his tone.
The Skeleton Mage immediately responded: "I think... an army of one hundred thousand, at least."
"Fart! Do you really think you are trying to fill the monsters with human heads? Extraordinary and mortal armies are not in the same dimension!" The Lizard Archer shook his head disdainfully, "I think 90,000 is enough."
"Well, what's the difference between this and one hundred thousand?"
"It's a big difference! I've calculated that based on the ratio of extraordinary beings in the army, there can be at least five or six thousand combat magic priests. If we divide it evenly... we will die thirty times per person, which can almost kill the BOSS."
"Awesome, you really did it."
"Come on, it's better to listen to him talk nonsense than to listen to me bragging."
The players were whispering, with a hint of relaxation and ridicule in the atmosphere, which seemed incompatible with the surrounding ruins.
The injured goblins were crawling out from under the collapsed building, limping towards the direction of the magic crystal cannon factory. They always feel that nothing will happen there, at least it is related to the supply of war equipment for the front line, and the "high-ups" in hell will not ignore it.
Although the reasoning process is wrong, the result is not bad.
Zacro really has no interest in the Magic Crystal Cannon Factory, and he has no time to care about it.
The little devil player on the side crossed his arms and looked at the bloody battlefield with complicated eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"But having said that, Planner Dog really has no intention of letting us get the reward... This is not a level that can be challenged by bronze at all."
"Yes, this mission is to send us home. Right?" A skeleton player who had just resurrected had a frustrated look on his face. "I wonder if we should consider other strategies, such as squatting and waiting for the boss to die on his own?"
"I'm afraid we have to squat and shut down the server."
Just when everyone was sighing, the blood energy and black flames on the battlefield collided again, forming a devastating shock wave. In an instant, several players standing too close were blown away!
"Get out!" Zacro roared angrily, thrust out his sharp claws, and the purple flames instantly carved a "blood path" in the sea of blood!
Looking at the charging BOSS, the surrounding players howled like wolves and ghosts.
"Holy shit!"
"Help! We have to go back to the login interface again!"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
After a burst of screams, the ground was in a mess, and the players' bodies turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Looking at the miserable condition of the newbies, the players who were still standing looked at each other with complicated expressions.
The lizard archer couldn't help but swallowed his saliva: "...Do you think, if we get closer, won't even the scum be left behind?"
But--
It's not all depressing voices.
Different from the surrounding Goblin NPCs crying for their fathers and mothers, players can be resurrected even after they die. Although it is frustrating to be unable to defeat the BOSS, some people feel that the future is promising.
It’s closed beta!
A little twist and turn is normal.
The little devil flying in the sky watched the duel between the two strong men in the distance with ardent eyes, his saliva almost dripped to the ground, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"This... is too real! This sense of shock, this environmental destruction, can the closed beta test be done to this extent?!"
The Skeleton Mage clenched his staff tightly and shouted excitedly.
"Open beta! It's done! It must be done!"
But at this moment, a certain lizard man carrying a battle ax was suddenly startled, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Wait! Is this BOSS heading in the direction of the Lord's Mansion?!"
The little devil next to him immediately came back to his senses, and his expression also changed.
"Damn it! I almost forgot about this setting! If the Demon King dies, will the server be reset?!"
That guy is always good at cheating others, and he has never seen anyone who can cheat him, so he almost forgot about this setting!
Looking at the BOSS that rushed into the Lord's Mansion, the players suddenly panicked and swarmed forward without caring about whether they were dead or not.
br/> The Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle stands quietly outside the flames of war. This three-story obsidian building is surrounded by thick walls. The magic lights cast a cold glimmer in the night, forming a sharp contrast with the burning Goblin community in the distance.
Luo Yan stood on the terrace of the Lord's Mansion, with his hands folded, staring at the scarlet sky in the distance, with a faint smile on his lips.
He knew that his father would come to save him.
This is his biggest trump card.
This is also the source of the 90% confidence he mentioned when talking to Festing.
From the moment Zakro stepped into Blackwind Castle, this guy was destined to die. Even if there are ten thousand demons in the whole world who want him to live, there is still one person who wants him to die——
This person is not even Luo Yan himself.
But Roxey Colin.
Zachro will never understand, after all, he has neither loved anyone nor had any real relatives. For him, everyone is just a tool for his use, even his son and grandson. If he had an illegitimate child, he would probably wish for that guy to die, and would even do it himself... So he thought that Roxelle Colin must have thought the same way.
He never dreamed that Roxelle would be here waiting for him to deliver it.
"I thought you were planning to wait for the Ministry of Truth to come to the rescue after he made a big fuss." Floating next to Luo Yan, Youyou said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the one who came was actually...your father."
Luo Yan smiled lightly.
"I'm afraid the Ministry of Truth would be more willing to collect my body."
His voice was calm, as if he was not talking about himself.
It is true that human beings protect animals, but this kind of thing can only be taught in schools. Some theories are useful to teachers and classmates. As for outside... doesn't Baron Avisler just challenge himself to a duel without caring at all?
Yoyou tilted her abstract head in confusion.
“But... you are the Demon King. If you die, wouldn’t the maze in Lei Ming County be doomed?”
Luo Yan said slowly.
"If you want to assume a non-existent "higher level" and abstract it into a cold machine, then this logic is valid. But if you stand in the position of a specific person, such as the position of the Minister of Religion, Glico, you will probably come to a completely different conclusion, and you are not surprised at all why people from the Ministry of Truth have not appeared until now."
They really want to catch Zakro, they can just squat in Black Wind Castle 24 hours a day. If they can't squat, they will keep squatting and compete with who can endure it better - just like his father did.
As for the Demon God——
From the day he saw Youyou, he had been wondering what the Demon God's condition was.
Youyou looked at the Demon King blankly and asked in a low voice.
"Then how did you know that Roxai is here?"
Luo Yan answered without thinking.
"He must be here, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life."
The Vampire's hiding ability is not inferior to that of the Shadow Demon, and he can also lie in a coffin, just like lying in a dormant cabin. It is much more difficult to find the lurking Vampire than to find the Terror Demon.
Luo Yan did not expect the Goblin community to find any clues at all, but he believed that his father must have been more anxious than him when he saw Zacro becoming a fugitive.
Is this considered use?
Luo Yan actually doesn’t know.
But he felt that if his child was in danger, even if it was an illegitimate child, he would do something similar.
Yuyou was in admiration.
"...As expected of the Demon King, he has even reached this step!"
Ignoring Yuyou's flattery, Luo Yan pondered for a moment before continuing to speak.
"The only thing I can't figure out right now is one thing...Yuyou, do you smell it?"
Yuyou asked curiously.
"What do you smell?"
"A bad smell," Luo Yan frowned slightly, "it reminds me of Norville."
Yuyou looked at him in astonishment.
"Fog of Strangeness?! You mean...Zacro is the Mad Whisperer? But how is it possible...I can't sense the aura of chaos from his body."
"Well," Luo Yan nodded, "That's the problem."
Perhaps——
There is someone else making a deal with Novel?
Yuyou asked carefully.
"Could it be that you're overthinking it?"
Luo Yan replied noncommittally.
…………
While a "man" and a "dog" were chatting, the battle situation in the distance took on new changes.
Zacro suddenly expanded his domain, and the world instantly fell into deep black, as if the whole world was shrouded in endless fear.
However, this change did not last long. A bloody hall suddenly unfolded, not only completely covering Zacro's domain, but also dyeing the heaven and earth a bloody red!
That's Roxelle's domain!
At the same time, it is also a real realm...not a fake one like Zakro's.
Luo Yan also didn’t expect that his father would be so strong!
"Is this the power of a grandmaster..." Luo Yan whispered to himself, his eyes flashing, and there was a hint of shock in his voice that was difficult to conceal.
He once heard that a demigod-level expert could create his own world and write his own rules within a limited space, but he never expected that a master-level expert could do the same.
Is it an artifact?
Or is it the secret technique of the Colin family?
Or——
Is it a blessing given by the devil?
Luo Yan fell into deep thought.
He still knows too little about the rules of this world.
If it weren’t for a paranoid old lunatic like Zakro, he might not have been able to win so easily.
The three platinum-level demon generals standing beside Luo Yan were also staring at the battlefield. Their expressions were even more shocked than Luo Yan's, even with a hint of awe.
"That...is actually a field?!"
The burly orc Grak clenched his fists, his rough face full of disbelief, and stared dumbly at the completely discolored dome.
I didn’t expect that the Demon King actually knew a powerful person at the demigod level!
No wonder he had no worries when facing the Dragon family!
Different from Gluck, the Thorn Demon General Brancia on the side is pale, with a hint of fear on her charming face, but more of relief and pleasure.
"Zacro...the elder of the Dragon family, is this guy...finally going to die?"
Her voice trembled slightly, her slender fingers grasped a corner of the cloak, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt up, and an intoxicated smile appeared on her face.
"This is really... great! Haha...hahaha!"
The gloomy Thanos' face was hidden under his hood, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"The Battle of the Realm... I didn't expect to see such a strong fight in the magic city. It really benefited me a lot."
The shock of the three demon generals was far more than that of the players.
After all, everyone present knew that it was a power comparable to that of a god, and it was a realm that only demigod-level powerhouses could touch!
Although they obviously misunderstood something, Luo Yan did not intend to explain to them.
Let it be misunderstood, it is not a bad thing for you anyway.
In addition to being shocked, the three of them also felt the joy of having their great revenge repaid.
Although Zacro Dragon has not directly exploited them, this guy is Reggie Dragon's biggest supporter, and he is also the source of Reggie's madness.
For an unrealistic goal, these guys used them as tools, without enough food and clothing, and lived like dogs.
Now that Reggie is dead and Zakro is about to come to an end, their wish has finally come to an end.
"Hahaha, it's really satisfying." Gluck laughed deeply, his eyes full of the pleasure of revenge.
Branthia smiled slightly, but her eyes were dangerously sharp: "It's a pity that I can't do it myself..."
Thanos snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his teasing.
"Being drained of flesh and blood by the power of the vampires is a decent ending for this guy who eats people without spitting out bones."
The voice sounded like he wanted to eat him alive.
Listening to the conversation of his men behind him, Luo Yan smiled faintly and was about to say something casually when the Temple of Blood in the distance suddenly shook violently.
The air seemed to be torn apart by a sharp blade, and the blood mist surged like a violent tide!
Immediately afterwards, a figure burning with purple flames suddenly broke through the barrier of the domain and turned into a terrifying stream of light, speeding straight towards the Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle!
「Boom——!」
The huge impact shattered half of the street. Zacro fell to the ground like a burning meteor, with purple flames rolling around him, as if he was going to crush everything in front of him. The buildings along the way collapsed under the impact of his terrifying aura, and the goblins fleeing on the streets screamed in terror. Even the usually brave hell dwarves collapsed to the ground under the erosion of fear energy, unable to even let out a scream.
The winning smile froze at the corner of Luo Yan's mouth.
This is...
What's going on? !
The sight before him was beyond his expectation. The purple meteor was heading straight in his direction. In the flash of lightning, there was no room for him to think too much.
Especially when he saw the black shadow coming from the sky clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.
They are not dead? !
What the hell!
Not only Luo Yan, but also the three demon generals standing beside him were completely stunned.
Blancia's smile disappeared, her face became serious, and there was a trace of uneasiness in her eyes. She subconsciously took a step back, her slender fingers tightly grasping her cloak, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Grak gripped the battle ax behind him tightly, his rough face full of anger and anxiety, but also a trace of panic.
Thanos's eyes widened, his face hidden under the hood was full of confusion and confusion, and he even forgot how to react for a moment.
Zacro didn't look at them at all.
He doesn't care about these miscellaneous fish at all, he only cares about one person - that is Luo Yan.
There was a crazy smile on his lips, and indescribable joy surged in his heart, as if a great revenge had been avenged.
"Hahahaha! Roxai! So what if the Grandmaster! Waste is trash!"
While he laughed wildly, he stared at Luo Yan with eyes filled with deep hatred, and rushed towards the Lord's Mansion at high speed!
The courtyard of the Lord's Mansion was shattered by the shock wave, the floor tiles were flying, and the air was filled with the stench of gunpowder smoke and purple flames.
The guard holding the magic stone gun could not stop him for a second, and before the magic crystal cannon displayed on the street had time to turn its muzzle, it was cut into two pieces by a purple sharp blade.
Zacro Dragon, who was completely crazy, stepped into the courtyard wall unabated. The bloody afterglow reflected on his black robe full of tears, highlighting the ferocity and bloodthirsty madness on his face.
His purple flame is still burning, and although his breath is slightly weak, he is still the most terrifying presence on the battlefield compared to Luo Yan and his group standing on the terrace.
However, before he could take the next step, a roar exploded from the terrace——
"Die to me!"
Blood Blade Demon General Grak roared and jumped from the terrace, holding a huge double-edged battle ax in both hands, and slammed it towards Zakro.
The fiery red aura condensed on the battle axe, tearing the air like a meteor and heading straight for Zakro's head!
He is not a loyal subordinate, but at this moment he also understands that this is the only way to survive!
If Luo Yan dies——
The mysterious strong man who intercepts Zakro will definitely not care about their life or death!
Perhaps, this is the test His Majesty the Demon King has given them!
Zacro's face was expressionless, and he didn't even raise his head. He just waved his hand casually, and the flame of fear struck out like a whip——
Bang! !
The next moment, Gerak's battle ax shattered, and his body flew backwards like a rag, hitting the courtyard wall hard, making a huge dent, and then fell to the ground, life or death unknown!
"...Tsk, where did this trash come from?" Zacro snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at it.
A strange voice sounded in the air. Branthia hurriedly stretched out her slender right hand, and large twisted thorns emerged from under the cuff.
The twisted thorns were like a galloping python, falling from the sky and instantly sweeping up Zacro's limbs, trying to bind him tightly!
She didn't have that much inner drama, she was just frightened.
Those who are good at scheming are most afraid of facing the coldness of the blade.
Facing the threat of death, all calculations are useless!
Zacro narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That's it?"
Click——!
He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the thorns. The moment the blood poison penetrated along the thorns into his palm, it was directly evaporated by the purple flames!
Blancia's full blow could not hurt him at all!
The next second, Zacro pulled hard, and Brancia's body was instantly taken away!
She wanted to break away from the thorns, but was horrified to find that she couldn't let go at all. She was dragged half a circle in the air, slammed into the courtyard wall with a loud bang, and half of her body was embedded in it!
Stone bricks cracked and dust filled the air.
She was slumped on the ground, her legs were trembling, her face was pale, and she didn't even have the strength to get up. A stain slowly spread on her damaged dress.
The energy of fear invaded her nerves, making her unable to move at all!
In front of the elders of the Dragon family, the queen of Impasse City was so frightened that she peed.
Thanos stood on the terrace, his face uncertain.
He knows better than anyone else that Zakro's strength is simply not something they can resist!
But he also understands that if he doesn’t take action now, he will never end well when the Demon King comes to reckon with him later!
At least——
Further for a second for the Demon King!
"... Damn it."
Glancing at Luo Yan's "calm" expression, Thanos gritted his teeth and cursed, and then used all his strength.
The next second, his figure turned into a black afterimage, and the shadow blade popped out from the cuffs, carrying the power of shadow, and suddenly stabbed Zacro's back!
There was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Zacro's mouth.
"You want to sneak attack me? You bastards are too young."
He turned around suddenly, his palms glowing with purple flames, he grabbed Thanos' wrist accurately, and then hit him hard in the abdomen with a claw!
Boom——!
Thanos's eyes bulged, and his body flew backwards like a cannonball, penetrating the stone pillars of the terrace and hitting the ground. His chest heaved violently and he couldn't get up for a long time.
He originally wanted to perform a calculation, but he did not expect that Zacro would not cooperate at all. This blow almost killed him.
The three demons will now all lose their ability to fight!
Although they are the rulers of the labyrinth, they come from the labyrinth in the countryside after all.
Although the Campbell family has produced demigod-level experts, that was centuries ago.
Zakronen looked up with a smile, looked at Luo Yan standing on the terrace, and then took a step forward, with an expression that seemed to say "it's your turn."
Luo Yan looked at Zac Luo with an expressionless expression. It seemed that the mountain was collapsing in front of him without changing his expression. In fact, the mudslide came too quickly and he did not react.
Too fast!
He had no time to react, and his three strongest men were lying on the ground.
As for himself, there is actually no difference between standing and lying down.
There is a difference of four levels between Amethyst level and Silver level, which is equivalent to level 50 PK 150 level.
This is not a one-dimensional battle at all!
Without any hesitation, Luo Yan raised his hand without hesitation and activated the teleportation array in the Lord's Mansion as he looked at the three demon generals who fell to the ground.
At the moment, he can only avoid his sharp edge and wait for his unreliable father to deal with Zacro before he comes back.
However, the next second, his expression changed slightly -
The teleportation array... failed? !
An invisible twisting force interferes with the flow of magic.
That is the power of the domain!
Yuyou, who was floating in his ear, trembled and whispered.
ifier ifies to be anxious now.
Luo Yan: "..."
"Will I let you run away? Stop dreaming. Jie Jie Jie... But I have to praise you, you are braver than those three guys, at least you didn't wet your pants in fear." Zacro seemed to see through Luo Yan's intention to run away, and walked towards him with a grin.
He seemed to want to fully enjoy this intoxicating fear, so he walked very slowly on purpose.
The victory has been decided!
This distance made no difference to him whether he was holding the other person's neck or not.
I think Lai Roxai also knew this, so he didn't catch up.
Luo Yan gritted his teeth, raised his right hand and changed his movements, as if he had no intention of escaping, a wand appeared at his fingertips.
"Shadow of Withering!"
He didn't know what his father was doing, but now all he could do was delay!
A ray of emerald green energy shot out, heading straight for Zakro's chest. The corrosive power of death filled the air, carrying the whisper of death!
If an adventurer like Chris or Amu was hit by this attack, he would lose his skin even if he died. However, when Zacro saw the magic light flying slowly, he sneered and did not even dodge, allowing the green light to hit his chest as strong as a city wall.
“That’s all you have—”
As soon as the mocking words came out of his mouth, a popping sound penetrated Zacro's chest.
His eyes suddenly widened, and his two eyeballs wanted to burst out of their sockets, and then blood oozed from his mouth and nose, as if he had been struck by lightning, he was frozen in place and unable to move...
Then the twisted expression changed from anger to pleading, and from pleading to despair.
Luo Yan was stunned and had no idea what was happening.
He thought that what he was reciting was indeed the shadow of withering, and not "Avada chewing the big melon"? !
Moreover, the special effects of the skill are not like...
Before he could recover, Zacro suddenly vomited blood, and his whole body was like a balloon that burst from the inside, bursting from the heart.
Scarlet flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the coagulated blood clots were like exploding shrapnel!
The purple flames wrapped around his body were instantly extinguished. Zacro stared blankly at the missing chunk of his chest, then his pupils dimmed and he fell to the ground silently, ushering in the end of his life.
Until the last moment of his life, he did not understand why he died at the hands of a silver-level necromancer.
In the distance, Roxelle, who was standing at a high place, slowly loosened his clenched fists.
Fine blood scabs slipped through his fingers and flew away like gravel blown away by the wind, just like Zakro's soul that passed away in the wind.
From the moment the guy broke out of his domain, Roxelle carefully controlled his life until his own child took action - letting that weak spell become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
This matter is not easy to operate.
Honestly speaking, he was only 10% or 20% sure, but fortunately he won the bet.
Zacro's arrogance caused him to lose the last and most fatal round, and Luo Yan's bravery also won him the reward he deserved.
If Luo Yan has indeed raised his soul level through Vivian's first embrace, then his current strength should be no worse than the gold-level Vivian, which can make up for some of his shortcomings.
Looking at the young demon king standing on the terrace with a calm voice, Roxelle showed a smile of approval and sincere pride on his face.
As worthy of being my son——
Even when faced with an amethyst-level powerhouse, he can bravely pull out his wand and fight back!
Perhaps this is the bond between father and son!
