arcane emperor

After confirming that Yaya's condition was stable, Matthew saw the red sickle getting closer and closer, and slightly turned the Sword of Destruction in his hand.

As if remembering something, the legendary dinosaur took a deep look at Matthew who jumped down, jumped towards the smoking crater, and jumped down with many dinosaurs.

Pong!
The sword of destruction he wielded cut off the head of an eyeless Spinosaurus.

Matthew put the body into the storage space with a wave of his hand, looking at the howling dinosaurs and carnivorous dinosaurs rushing into the crater with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

He sent a signal to the Wildhammer in the distance, telling him that he would enter the crater to explore, and then laid out the general development strategy for other battlefields before entering the crater directly.

It was beyond Matthew's expectation.

Even though he exudes the power of a real dragon, there are still carnivorous dinosaurs with no eyes, looking for trouble with him.

Matthew showed no mercy to these guys who wanted to die. He simply waved his hand and fought his way in.

While Matthew was killing the killer, he looked at the interior of the crater that was emitting a dark red light.

This is not a magma mouth that is constantly burning, but a deep swamp pit filled with silt.

Most of the dinosaurs and carnivorous dinosaurs with red lights on their bodies rushed in without hesitation, and were swallowed up by the gray-black mud.

Matthew carefully felt its subtle energy fluctuations and noticed the rising detection value of the halo detector, confirming the degree of danger here.

These blood-thorn dinosaurs and carnivorous dinosaurs have been completely controlled, and they are all rushing here to die.

With their "dedication", the thick fog emitted from the crater is becoming more and more.

Matthew immediately understood the whole situation.

The affected and controlled Bloodthorn Dinosaurs, Swift Dinosaurs and Carnivorous Dinosaurs have become sacrifices to this "crater".

Their "sacrifice" will gradually activate and affect the seal.

The influence exerted by the Storm Dragon King will become increasingly greater.

Until all the creatures on the entire Dinosaur Island were controlled by it, entered the volcano, and all became sacrifices to be devoured.

Matthew could clearly feel that the hidden power was impatient and impatient.

It can't wait!
Matthew even suspected that the Cole Elf Kingdom encouraged the Bloodthorn Dinosaurs and Swift Dinosaurs to cause trouble just to prepare for the early sacrifices.

Perhaps the spreading fog has a similar effect.

Just because it is too slow, it can no longer even deal with dinosaurs and dinosaurs with strong physiques.

Matthew has never been afraid to speculate on the Cole Elf with the worst malice, and he does not feel any anger towards him for wanting to destroy all the creatures on Dinosaur Island.

For such a bad country that disrupts world peace and causes trouble everywhere, it will one day suffer backlash and destruction.

Maybe because of the weakening of strength, he will suffer the backlash of the dog legs under his control and be eaten alive.

Or because of the rise of powerful opponents, its own combat effectiveness declines rapidly, thereby losing its strong hegemony and finally falling apart.

Facing the Cole Elf Kingdom, it has accumulated many resources.

A behemoth that has no idea how many organizations and forces it has mastered.

Matthew hopes to start from within them and mobilize their mutual divisions.

For a truly great country, external factors will only affect its development.

Civil strife will really kill you!

Matthew recalled the attitude of Councilor Caledor and the behavior of Laura and other Cole elves, with traces of fierceness flashing in his eyes!

He swung his sword to chop off the head of another large tyrannosaurus, turned around and left without hesitation, and chased in the direction where the red sickle disappeared.

He saw Hong Lian's struggle and madness just now, so he naturally wanted to take a closer look and see the mastermind behind the legendary dinosaur man's deception.

Who are they?

What's the purpose?
What means were used?
What do you want to continue doing next?
Where are you hiding again?

The space inside the volcano is larger than Matthew imagined.

There are all kinds of lava caves with no rules at all.

Matthew easily followed its footsteps according to the traces left by the red sickle, and listened to its roars one after another, his expression remained calm and indifferent.

The fatal halo remains activated, confirming that Hong Sickle's condition will not collapse.

However, this guy couldn't be saved, and Matthew didn't even think about saving it.

The Gulf Territory is not absorbed by all intelligent creatures!
Matthew followed the red sickle for 5 minutes and felt that he had dropped about 500 meters.

The further down these pitch-black caves go, the more blood-red tubular flesh and blood tissue becomes stained on the walls.

It felt to Matthew as if the entire volcano had turned into a huge flesh and blood monster, and the rocks and all other objects had been eroded and replaced by its flesh and blood.

Various twisted flesh and blood monsters also began to appear in the passage one after another.

They do not have a complete body shape or appearance, they are just composed of twisted and deformed flesh.

Although its strength is average, like most aberrant creatures, it possesses quite tenacious vitality.

Matthew followed the Blood Scythe and saw it tearing all the flesh and blood monsters into pieces.

Those twisted flesh and blood fragments still seemed to be alive, clinging tenaciously to the surrounding flesh and blood tissue, growing tiny tentacles, greedily sucking the nutrient solution.

The whole picture is very horrifying, giving people an indescribable sense of distortion.

The well-informed Matthew naturally had no reaction to this degree of flesh and blood distortion. Instead, he silently thought in his heart:

"They have the abilities and methods of flesh and blood, and there should also be some spiritual abilities..."

"Sure enough, having the ability in this area can often break the seal better."

"However, is this the influence of the Storm Dragon King, or is it the method deployed by the Cole elves over the years?"

The reason why Matthew did not send a large force into Dinosaur Island was to guard against the possibility that it was a trap.

The Cole elves may not necessarily use their centuries-old arrangement to destroy or attack the Gulf Territory's army.

However, Matthew must be on guard!
While thinking about this, Matthew also began to place the alchemy bombs one by one in various load-bearing areas along the way.

He did not expect to use this method to kill the Storm Dragon King who might break through the seal, or the Cole Elf combat units hiding inside.

But once the critical moment comes, the chaos caused by the explosion and the internal turmoil in the mountain can also buy some time for the Gulf Territory to retreat.

If you don’t expect to win, you should expect defeat!
Just when Matthew thought that the core area of ​​the downward seal would still drop several hundred meters until it went deep into the ground.

The red sickle leading the way suddenly let out a sharp roar.

Boom!

The raging flames blasted out the charred red sickle.

The red sickle was deeply affected, with bright red flesh and blood sprouting from the wound, deep madness in his eyes, and a howl of unknown meaning coming from his mouth.

But it immediately got up and headed inside tenaciously.

This arrogant Bloodthorn dinosaur is using his last will to resist in a way that may be destined to be useless.

This is the tragedy of puppets!

Life or death is not up to anyone!
Maybe even the corpses will be "used"!
Matthew watched the red sickle crash into it, feeling the surging elemental fluctuations inside, and silently collecting various information.

"Legendary level spell fluctuations, Elf Archmage?"

"It can't be just one person. At least there are guards with very strong physique and will."

"When setting up an altar or a magic circle, there must be at least one helper of the same level."

"It's hidden so deeply and doesn't show any movement. It should be a high-level secret lock..."

"The Cole elves have been here for at least 300 years."

"Is it really just to deal with our Gulf Territory if we choose this time to turn it on now?"

"It shouldn't be possible!"

Matthew knew that under his leadership, the Gulf Territory could bring huge threats and troubles to the Cole Elf Kingdom in the future.

But that is based on the fact that he is familiar with the future trend.

Can arrange the most suitable development direction for the Gulf Territory.

He also used the power of fate to overcome difficulties one after another.

Can vigorously develop future technologies such as golems, spells, and machinery.

Then use the doomed demise of the Netheril Empire to draw enough nutrients from it.

Only then can we have the confidence that the Gulf Territory can reach that point.

If the Cole Elf Kingdom really "values" the Gulf Territory that much.

It should quickly drain power and resources elsewhere.

Launch an all-out siege on various territories under development in the Gulf Territory. Only then can we have a chance to suppress the further development of the Gulf Territory, or at least suppress and consume the main power of the Gulf Territory.

If it cannot have a great impact on the operation of the Gulf Territory system, the growth of the population, the expansion of the territory, and the development of the factory.

It is destined to be just a "little fight"!
Matthew is also willing to play "games" with them!
Boom!

The fatal explosion knocked out the bloody red sickle.

It knocked down two or three stone walls in a panic, with bright red blood flowing all over its body.

Inside the fallen stone wall, a turbid gray-black liquid flowed out. After contacting the red sickle, it quickly integrated into his body and repaired the injuries on his body.

However, those repaired parts are sprouting weird and twisted flesh sprouts.

Matthew looked at the red sickle, which gradually changed significantly in size, roared and continued to rush into the darkness in the distance, and gradually understood the behavior of the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Just like when he first fought against the drow forces.

However, the elven gods took advantage of the death of many Cole elves to "wake up" in advance before the elemental tide broke out.

The Cole Elf Kingdom obviously has the strength to quickly clean up the invasion of underground forces, or to break through the defense of the El Elf in the Rocky Mountains at all costs.

However, the Cole Elf's troops, with their huge advantage, suffered a lot of unnecessary and huge damage.

Such an irrational series of behaviors and practices actually caused Matthew and the Gulf Territory staff to discuss it many times.

After Matthew gradually understood the power of destiny, the power of soul, the desire of gods for high-quality souls, and the strong possessiveness of the power of faith.

Matthew finally understood a truth!
The one who now holds the power of the Elf Kingdom of Cole.

It is not exactly the former Cole Elf Council that was so scheming, cunning, and all for the benefit of the Cole Elf Kingdom and its own interests.

The "big dads" of the Cole Elf Kingdom should be issuing many orders that are beneficial to them one after another.

In this case, even these orders would cause extremely huge losses to the Cole Elf Kingdom.

The experienced Cole Elf councilors could only bite the bullet and "implement" these orders.

Otherwise, everything they have now will be easily taken away.

Their former political enemies and rivals would definitely kill them happily.

It is this kind of contradiction that makes the Cole Elf Kingdom strange and special during this period.

Matthew even hoped that the Cole Elf Councilors could be more "overbearing" and not compromise like this, or speculate openly or covertly.

Wait for these old fritters to understand the behavior and requirements of the "masters".

They will use various methods to skillfully link their own interests with "their" interests.

After this difficult and unknown "running-in" process is over, the Elf Kingdom of Cole, backed by the recovered elven gods, will be able to become stronger and stronger again!

This should be the idea of ​​Elf Councilor Cole. He is quite experienced and threatening!
However, Matthew, who understood what would happen next, only slowly adjusted his state.

After the red sickle, which was no longer in human form, rushed in with strange and twisted red light again.

He followed without hesitation!

His dark eyes shone with unspeakable determination and calmness, and he whispered silently in his heart:

"A kingdom or force that pins all its hopes on a few superior individuals has lost its future."

“So, the fall of the Cole Elf Kingdom is doomed!
Boom!

The violent explosion and fire, with a terrifying impact, pushed the ferocious-looking Blood Scythe out.

Matthew rushed out fiercely with unparalleled momentum.

Click!

The violent thunder illuminated the dark space in a flash of leaps.

Two Cole elf archmages wearing cloaks were standing on a hill made of countless bones.

In the center of the hill stood a bloody altar.

Various red twisted spells are engraved on the bloody altar.

These spells were emitting dazzling light, converging into a straight beam of light that led directly to the black hole in front.

In a flash of the corner of his eye, Matthew saw attention passing through the distant darkness.

A huge door has opened a gap.

Inside the gap, huge blood-colored eyes were greedily watching everything outside the door.

Just this time.

The power of the fatal halo generator was immediately increased to the maximum.

In Matthew's mind, he had the illusion that his body was out of control.

His body shone with the light of various protective spells, and his body and consciousness quickly returned to normal.

However, the burst of thunder did not fall towards the Cole Elf Archmage who had just finished casting the spell, as he expected.

The violent lightning, surrounded by a burst of strange power, fell apart and shattered.

Disappeared!
Weaken spells, seal elements, and control the magic network!

This is the mystery lock!
This is one of the strongest trump cards of the Cole Elf Kingdom!

After landing, Matthew was not surprised by this. He continued to move forward crazily as if he had expected it.

The flame jet backpack on the back spits out fanatical tail flames.

The huge thrust that burst out caused Matthew to hit the front like a cannonball.

Matthew had no intention of competing with Mysuo, who had established a deeper level with the Magic Network, had greater authority, and was more favored by the goddess of magic.

He was just getting closer to the Cole Elf Archmage at all costs.

Before the Cole Elf Archmage launched his next attack, Matthew pulled out the shining golden scroll from his arms without hesitation.

Legendary magic—Arcane Holy Word!

This is one of the nine legendary magical arts from the Netheril Empire and the Church of the Goddess of Magic!

It has only two functions: it allows the target to release spells normally, and it strengthens the effects of the spells it releases!

The dazzling golden light beam penetrated the darkness and thick rock wall above very arrogantly.

The golden light of various mysterious arcane runes from the legend surrounded Matthew's body.

Matthew, who briefly lost his ability to cast spells, regained his ability to cast spells.

This is one of the trump cards specially prepared by Matthew in order to deal with Cole Elf's mysterious lock.

The price paid for this was naturally to build three more large churches for the goddess of magic in other territories of the northern continent.

Its value is as high as 1500 million gold coins!
He continued to release lightning without hesitation!

The lightning with golden light penetrated several magic barriers in front of the Elf Archmage, and pierced the body under his cloak tenaciously.

Pong!
A thick wall of ice rose from the ground, firmly blocking the golden lightning.

Matthew continued to cast various buffing spells on himself, dodged to avoid the sudden spikes on the ground, raised his hand and shook it to aim at the mountain of bones under the altar.

Gravity!
Mordenkainen's Sword!
Matthew's choice of target was very tricky.

If you can't deal with the Elf Archmage, can you also deal with other things that can't move?
The Elf Archmage is powerful, and with Matthew's current spell-casting ability, he may not be able to get a good deal from them.

Matthew just wanted to cause trouble for them and destroy their purpose, and had no urgent desire to kill them.

It must be said that Matthew's sudden change made the elf archmage quite uncomfortable.

He temporarily put down his attack on Matthew, and only had time to cast multiple confinement techniques on him before he directly grasped the staff tightly and stabbed it straight into the ground.

The spreading ice blocked a large area of ​​surging gravity magic.

The sword of Mordenkainen, as swift as the wind, was imprisoned by a distortion of time and space, and just floated in the air, as if it had lost its power.

Feeling the howling approaching behind him, Matthew had a calm smile on his face.

The huge body collided with the confinement circle constructed by the mana model, and a golden scroll suddenly shattered in the violent collision.

The spreading gaps quickly spread with violent shocks.

Legendary spell—earthquake!

The unstoppable terrifying shock spread to the entire space in the blink of an eye amid the furious roar of the Cole Elf Archmage.

"Who asked you to cast the earthquake spell first?"

"This is just a gift given back to you!"
