Pillars of Ita

The blade made a light and thin trembling, which was as sharp as metal. A flash of light flashed, and the long sword in the warrior's hand rose high, refracted the sunlight, turned several times, and swayed back to the ground.

"Ian!"

The female magician's beauty turned pale.

Naga, who was a head taller than everyone else, was holding a curved blade, looking down at the group of people in front of him with a cruel look on his face.

"Lark?" The female wizard turned back. But the young craftsman with a cold face was holding down the bleeding left arm with one hand, and the rose-red blood spread over her fingertips. She frowned at this scene and shook her head gently: "We can't do it. Marigold," she said, "it's right that we are too weak-"

"Siss, is this the holy choice of the saints?" A sneer bloomed in Naga's eyes.

It was like a poisonous snake spitting out its seeds, the pale thorns surrounding the tombstone, and the flowers of death blooming from them, looking cold and vicious.

"Siss, are you giving up resistance now? Don't you claim to be able to compete with the world with your mortal power? How about your fearlessness and arrogance? Little girl, let me see what you have learned again. Use the skills of mortal craftsmen Come here, let me see their 'power' -"

Lark gritted her teeth and placed her bloody fingers on the sapphire on her chest.

But the previously projected Walker Type IV was not a single enemy of the Naga in front of him, so what about the others?

"You want to see this?" a voice came from behind her.

The lark was startled subconsciously and couldn't help but look in that direction.

It was a gentle voice, or an expression of agreement or approval, but it didn't need to be too passionate. It just seemed to be stating a simple fact. It said:

"She is not wrong. The power of magic skills originally allows us to measure the greatness of this world, because no one is born strong. Like a giant dragon, there are also moments of weakness. Reflecting the shining stars, in the world In front of Wei Li, you and I are like this."

The motto of the Kapka School?

In Yu Lark's surprised eyes, a huge shadow was crossing her from behind.

Not far away, the Naga's face changed drastically. Looking at the giant statue walking out of the rose-blue light, he raised his giant sword and struck at him.

She dodged back and raised the blade with all her strength to block the sword. The huge force traveled down the blade, making a loud bang. She almost felt as if her arms were broken, and she even lost consciousness for a moment.

The long snake tail almost plowed several meters long marks on the ground.

Naga bit her lip with her fangs, suppressing the smell of blood in her mouth. She looked up and stared at the six-winged ring-shaped giant statue, with a horrified light shining in her eyes.

Who is there?

She looked at the man standing behind the colossus.

But there was not a battle craftsman there, but a warrior holding a large shield. It was just Luo Hao, holding up the shield to protect the naturalist lady beside him.

Beside him, Jita glanced at her and opened the big book in her hand.

Naga suddenly had an instinctive premonition of extreme danger. Miss Naturalist pointed at her and recited the first part of the spell.

The scarlet flame flew out of her book, like a dragon flying from the ashes, leaving the last hatred for the world in the love and hatred with her lover.

In the astonished eyes of the female wizard, the lark and the warrior, the book turned into thousands of fire arrows, just like the scene people saw in Dulon thirty years ago. The rolling flames burned everything and turned it into white ground. In the long years since then, the mountains and forests have ceased to be green.

The female wizard opened her mouth.

She left a curse on that piece of land. She cursed that the forest would no longer grow new branches, and the earth would no longer produce sweet springs. Even the stones would turn into ashes, and poisonous juice would ooze from the bark of the trees.

Those flames flew towards the warriors of the once arrogant Naga clan, making them unable to escape, and turned into a blazing torch amidst the shrill screams.

Only a few people escaped the fire arrow.

The leader Naga was trembling all over.

Flame of destruction?

She recognized the terrifying power and stared at the girl wearing glasses with an extremely fearful expression - the grimoire, the naturalist, and the path opened up by those abominable mortals, but even the Book of Death Nor can it spit out pitch-black flames.

Which dragon is that?

The Naga leader didn't have time to think too much because she already felt threatened.

She roared, raised the silver blade with her four arms like wheels, and rushed towards Jita first. The threat from the other party was too great, and she had to deal with this weak-looking little girl first.

The Naga leader expected that a spell caster would not be able to stop her, but the iron guard next to the opponent was a problem. She had already thought about how to distract the opponent's attention, but she thought that Luo Hao was motionless and only looked at it with amusement. Holding her.

She suddenly realized something was wrong.

But the giant statue behind Luo Hao had already moved, and a sword swept towards her.

"Ugh, damn, this thing!"

The Naga leader gritted his teeth and had to raise four arms to block.

Sparks flew out as the blades met, and the force was so powerful that she couldn't resist it, and she even fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

"Kill them!"

The anger and fear made the Naga leader a little hysterical. He screamed and ordered his men to attack the other warriors first.

But no one moved—

The lark said nothing, only covering his arms and looking coldly at the giant statue in front of him and the scene not far away.

She watched one after another constructs different from the Colossus emerge from the blue light.

Until they surrounded Naga——

The djinn-like knight holds a spear in one hand and a giant shield in the other. It looks like a high wall, thick and indestructible.

Lark realized that the spear was actually a long-range attack device.

She raised her head and saw Fang Plover.

The eyes of the Naga leader were flashing with anger and anger. She was seriously injured, and the smell of blood came up in her throat, but she still spoke coldly with awe-inspiring hatred: "The Chosen One."

Fang Yu opened his goggles and looked at these legendary dark creatures - they were the same as the rumors, with the soft appearance of human women and the shape of snakes, but their bodies were covered with scales, and their narrow pupils had a... There was a hint of uncontrollable viciousness, and he was spitting out words like a snake.

Naga women all have four arms, but the most powerful matron-level role has six arms. These older female Nagas play a leader-like role in the clan, usually as priests or warrior leaders. .

The Nagas in front of him looked very young, and the most powerful one only had four arms, but only the other one wore a suit of armor and seemed to be the leader of these Nagas.

Fang Plover lowered his hand, and the layers of silver rails on the magic gloves automatically reset - under normal circumstances, he would use this ordinary magic glove, because the shape of the Lone King's Pride is so special that it has almost become his logo. things.

Several clockwork fairies hung down and landed on his hands.

He then looked at the other party and was silent for a while before speaking: "Go and tell your mistress that there is nothing you want here."

The Naga leader was startled for a moment, but a vicious light immediately appeared in her eyes. She smiled proudly and replied in a rustling voice: "His, it's hard to hide it, poor mortal, but the undercurrent in the darkness has told us everything. ——”

She screamed a little crazily: "Wash your necks and wait to die. Hiss, the Mistress will lead us to retrieve the Star of Death, and by then, the storm will swallow up everything you hold dear."

"Really," Fang Plover asked, "have you found the location of the treasure house?"

"treasure house?"

The Naga leader was slightly startled, a little confused for a moment.

"Death Star?"

Fang Plover asked again.

He lowered his gaze, and a line of silver text was displayed in front of his eyes. It was the communication sent by Jita before:

"Captain, the Naga clan still retains many traditions from the Giant War era. This militarized organization composed of huntresses also implements strict management within the clan. They will not live in isolation or act alone. These Nagas appear There must be a reason for being here.”

"The Nagas believe in Narsuyu, the Naga god. In each clan, there is a matron-level Naga as a priest. They are Narsuyu's maids and are responsible for guiding the clan and guiding them. Hunting, plundering and sacrifice.”

"And different clans will jointly elect a high priest, that is Narsuyu's goddess and mistress. The leader may wish to trick them in this direction."

He looked at the Naga leader again.

But the other party was not stupid either. At this moment, he finally realized Fang Plover's intention, with a look of incomparable resentment in his eyes, "Damn humans, you bugs!"

She looked at Fang Plover with an extremely cold gaze, as if looking at a dead person, then raised her right hand and made a gesture with her index finger pointing down. "Stop her!" Jita suddenly shouted when she saw this scene.

But before Fang Yu had time to react, the Naga leader raised the blade and inserted it into his chest.

The surviving Nagas also followed the same example and fell to the ground one after another. The way they committed suicide was extremely weird. They used silver blades to pierce themselves from above, piercing themselves into the ground like a nail, and then lowered their heads feebly, surrounding them. He died with his spear curled and his tail curled.

Red blood gurgled along the blade.

But the creatures of darkness are different from humans when they die, as if their flesh and blood are separated from their bodies, turning into septic and flowing to the ground, seeping into the ground, gradually disappearing, and finally leaving behind white bones.

Even Fang Plover couldn't help but shudder when he saw this strange scene.

"When the war situation is not good for them, they will do this," the soldier suddenly said, "You can't stop it even if you want to. They have other means of killing themselves, but no matter how many they kill, these monsters will always be killed. Comeback.”

"Because dark creatures will not really die, the saints of darkness will always give them new life," Jita watched this scene silently before replying, "Unlike humans, humans are blessed by the stars of this world, and dark creatures Only by the grace of the saints of darkness.”

"As long as their gods have not returned to death, they will be endless. The dark dragon was finally completely wiped out, also because the dragon king Lifgard was killed by the holy sword. However, the dark dragon king did not really die, so the former enemy Always born from blood full of hatred."

"Of course, most of the dark saints will not squander their power without limit. Among these Nagas, only the leader may be resurrected by her great mistress, and the others will be turned into nutrients and used by Narsu. Absorb it."

Jita said: "And the other party resurrecting her is probably to inquire about the information here."

After listening to Jita's story, Fang Yu asked, "So our information will be leaked?" Jita nodded, "This is inevitable, captain."

Fang Yucai looked at the soldier and asked, "Are you also the Chosen One?"

"My name is Ian," the warrior replied, "You can also call me Golden Apple. This is my Stargate ID. They are my companions, the Sorcerer and Marigold. The one over there is the Lark, a Fighting Craftsman.”

The craftsman girl named Lark stood aside, and Siesta was bandaging his wound under Sylvide's instructions. After listening to her companion's words, she looked at Fang Plover and nodded lightly, but immediately Then he looked at the tall structure next to Fang Plover and asked softly:

"This is Seraph, right?"

"you recognize?"

Fang Yu was a little surprised.

He could tell that the level of the three of them was not high, maybe not more than level 20, and their attire did not look like the selectors of the first division. The selectors of the first division could recognize the structures used by FOX in the early years. The body is not surprising. But being able to recognize someone from outside the competition area is unusual.

Moreover, the Gray King has used many famous alien constructs, and Seraph is not the most famous one in his career. The reason why he originally thought of this construct in Ayinbrok It is displayed in the Gujin family's collection simply because it suits him better.

The lark nodded slightly and replied in a light voice: "The legendary structure used by the Gray King FOX, although it has not been with him for a long time, because this structure except the King of Artisans , no one else was able to drive it at the appropriate level and was famous for it.”

She looked at the giant statue-like construct and asked, "Is this an imitation?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, but then nodded.

He didn't know how to explain why he could use this construct, since the other party thought so.

After hearing his explanation, the lark thought for a moment and stopped asking. She looked at her other companion, the female wizard named Marigold, who seemed to have come back to her senses just now.

She looked at Fang Yu and others: "...Um, thank you..."

Seeing her stammering look, Miss Poet couldn't help but laugh behind her.

Who would have thought that as soon as she made a sound, Marigold looked at her as if she had seen a ghost, pointing at her and babbling for a long time, but could not utter a complete sentence. Soldier Ian couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked up and down at Tianlan:

"You, you, you...are you the little princess with twelve colored iris flowers?"

"What?" Tianlan was startled, "Do you know me?"

"Are you a sky-blue fantasy?"

"Yes!"

"W-why are you here-"

The female wizard said incoherently.

"Why can't I be here?" Tianlan thought these people were really weird, "Aren't you here too?"

"You also came through that portal?"

Ian couldn't help but ask: "Is there anyone else from Twelve Color Iris here?"

"Portal?"

Fang Yu immediately grasped the key point.

"Yes, the portal," Ian replied.

After Fang Yu inquired, he learned that it turned out that Ian and the others did not come to the island through normal means, but accidentally passed through a teleportation gate during an adventure, and then arrived at this place.

No wonder, he thought, the three levels of Ian are not high. Among them, Ian is level 20, the female magician Marigold is level 19, and the lark is level 17. Ordinarily, three people of this level should not appear here. place.

The Storm Islands are basically a dangerous area in the first world, and they are located in the open sea. It is impossible for an adventure group to reach this place without their own sailboat, not to mention that there are strong winds and huge waves outside the Storm Bay all year round. The three of them There is really no way to reach this area without going through the portal.

Ian described the appearance of the portal to everyone again. Others were fine. Lovely Lisa, Fang Plover and Sylvide were all startled when they heard the appearance of the portal, and Miss Tata's voice was almost At the same time, it sounded in his heart:

"Mr. Knight, we have seen such a portal before."

Of course Fang Yu remembered it, and he nodded slightly. When he participated in the trial on Fenris Island, the portals leading to the lower area were exactly the same as what Ian described.

This is how the same thing?

However, when he heard Ian talk about his identity, Fang Plover couldn't help but ask again: "Wait, are you the selectors of the second division?"

Ian nodded: "I, Lark, and Marigold are all selectees of the second division. At least until we pass through that portal, we are still in the Hill of Giant Trees."

The soldier looked at the sky not far away: "That's why we recognized the little princess with twelve colored iris flowers."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Plover and the others curiously.

After all, it's hard not to be curious, because the strength shown by these people is too strong, especially the naturalist lady next to him, and the combat craftsman in front of him. They are simply those he has only seen in the alliance in the past. That kind of star player.

Ian knew in his heart that among the three of them, Lark had the highest talent. She was actually a very talented combat craftsman. Several big guilds even extended an olive branch to them because of this.

But compared to the young man in front of him, that was nothing.

He looked at the constructs around him and couldn't help but guess that these constructs were all controlled by the person in front of him?

Is that possible?

Ian couldn't help but ask: "Are you the elite brigade of Twelve Color Iris?"

Fang Yu was stunned. He didn't expect anyone to recognize Tian Lan, but not himself. But then he thought about it, and it was normal. He was only famous in the Empire and Kaolin-Ithulian, but he was not so well-known in the Second Division and Lotao.

What's more, Ian and the others encountered such an outrageous thing as crossing the portal, and his fame was only for the past half a month. Not many people paid attention to the main game of the Continental League, and the wanted order was something like this. A few people may not know.

He thought for a while and decided to assume this identity:

"Just think of us."

After all, the status of the Seven Seas Troupe is currently in some trouble, and they are obviously not the type to talk openly and honestly.

Although this answer was a bit ambiguous, Ian didn't think much about it. After all, what else could he have with the little princess Iris Twelve Colors besides their elite group? That little princess is a household name in the second division, and it's not a title in name only.

She is the daughter of the real Twelve-Colored Iris, and her brother is also the number one dragon knight of the Twelve-Colored Iris.

After all, the age, appearance and occupation all match, and it would be a mistake if he admits that he is wrong.

However, Ian was teleported to this island from the second division, so this question was a bit big. Fang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Are you the only team that passed through that teleportation gate?"

Ian shook his head and said that in fact, besides them, there were many Chosen Ones on the island. "It's not just the second division. I also know some selectors from the outer sea areas, and even people from Rotao."

Fang Yu was silent for a while.

This is so weird, why are there so many long-distance portals in different areas to transport these chosen people of different levels to this island.

Was it left by Adni's father? But he immediately shook his head. This was obviously impossible. At least as of this era, mortal magic skills have not reached this level and can transport people from one continent to another.

The few remaining long-distance teleportation circles in Aitaria are almost all magical miracles left by the Numerin elves. However, after years of use, most of those teleportation gates now have little more than a meaning as a tourist spot.

He couldn't figure out the meaning of these portals for the moment, but it seemed that since they landed on this island, nothing they encountered was weird.

Including the battle that destroyed this city, leaving so many corpses, even so many that it was a bit abnormal. He just thought of this question. Could it be said that none of the imperial soldiers who stayed here had starlight?

Fang Yu was somewhat reminded of the Nagas he had just met. He followed Miss Naturalist's advice and deceived the other party. He didn't have much hope at first, but unexpectedly he got out heavyweight information.

The appearance of the Naga clan on this island was actually ordered by their mistress, and they seemed to be looking for something. At first, he thought that the other party was also looking for the Pirate King's treasure house, but it seemed that the other party did not know about it. .

As for what the Death Star is, Miss Tata actually told him before.

In the ancient tradition, the Naga clan calls the gathering point of the etheric currents the place where the stars gather. They search for those stars above the sea of ​​light, and use the changes in the ether to summon big storms in the real world. .

The stars are the ether nodes.

But he didn't know what the Death Star was.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Mr. Ian, do you know what happened when these Nagas appeared on the island?"

But this time it was Marigold who answered him, who had been silent: "Those monsters appeared after us. I heard that they all come from the same clan, called Silver Moon. As soon as these monsters came to the island, they were very interested in them." All survivors and indigenous people on the island launched an attack.”

The female wizard was so angry that she said, "Because of them, many people died on the island."

"By the way," she suddenly remembered something, "that post."

On the side, Lark had already opened a post from the system. Fang Yu saw that it was a request for help, which should have been posted shortly after the three of them arrived on the island.

Different time periods were recorded in the post, and the earliest description of Naga appeared about a week ago, "We arrived on the island more than half a month ago, and we were the first batch, and others followed one after another. When people come to the island, they all post similar requests for help."

Ian said: "But the reaction time was too short. Although it caused some discussions, most people were dubious. Those Nagas appeared about six days ago. Since their appearance, the situation on the island has taken a turn for the worse. .”

Fang Yu looked at those posts and found that after Ian and others entered the portal by mistake and came here, they still thought of many ways. But the outer island was surrounded by storms and huge waves, and they were unable to build a sailboat on the island, so they were unable to leave.

Even according to Ian, the island is currently surrounded by a layer of strange power. Even if you die here, you can only be resurrected in the temple on the island.

"Is there a temple on the island?" This was the second new term Fang Plover heard. "Whose temple is there in this city?"

"No," Ian shook his head, "on the holy mountain, the goddess Odessa protects that place."

"Who?"

"Wait, what goddess?"

Alyssa and Fang Plover couldn't help but speak at the same time.
