Lord Chronicle

Chapter 151 Battle of the Ruins II

Marlene nimbly passed between the two stone pillars and flew towards a ruin on the opposite side.At this time, she also noticed that it was difficult for the Lich to catch up with her own speed, so she flew towards remote and complicated terrain to get rid of the opponent.

At this moment, a cloud of blue will-o'-the-wisp suddenly burst out from the ruins in front, and the flame turned into a huge skull, which opened its mouth to bite her.

If Marlene knew a little about necromancer magic, she would find that the ghost fire was simply gathered and deformed by magic power. It had no lethality in itself, and it seemed to be specially designed to scare her.

But she was a girl after all, so Marlene almost instinctively changed direction and flew to the left.Suddenly, Collins rushed diagonally and intercepted her.

Marlene had to turn around again. At this moment, an incredible thing happened. From the other side, another Collins appeared, and the Lich turned into two!

A lich has no physical body, and its body is condensed by the power of pure necromancy.In order to catch Marlene as soon as possible, Collins divided the necromantic power that made up the body into two parts, thus creating a "clone".

But this is an extremely risky move. You must know that this move means that his body's defense power will be reduced by half, and any clone that is attacked will cause great damage to the main body.

However, Marlene's fighting power is not strong, and Collins is confident that she will not cause any harm to him.In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, this is the only way.

Sure enough, the appearance of the two liches made Marlene lose her senses, and she didn't know where to run.At this moment of hesitation, Collins on the right caught up, and black air rolled out of his hands, wrapping around her body.

"I've got you." The soul fire in Lich's eyes was throbbing with excitement.

The black air beam seemed to have a strong binding force, and Marlene couldn't move immediately.Collins gently supported her right hand, floating her body horizontally, and at the same time, the clone on the left also flew over.

Just waiting for the fusion of the body to take Marlene away, Collins's mood at this moment has an excitement that he has not experienced for a long time since he became a lich.Once the spirit of Kennylos is obtained, another plan of the guild can be completed, and the Necromancer Guild will dominate the entire Magina continent by then.

However, the excessive turmoil caused him to lose his calm observation of the surroundings, which should never happen to a Lich of his level.

Just as his clone flew over a broken wall, a ghostly figure leaped out from behind the wall, flying over the Lich's head with a slight howl of wind.

The dim moonlight came from behind, and the shadow covered the attacker's face, making the opponent look like only a hazy shadow.Only the long sword in his hand that was raised above his head shone in the moonlight, and there was a trace of red on the blade.

The lich's avatar turned its head in astonishment, and Collins also looked in that direction with a feeling in his heart.However, it was too late, and the dragon-slaying sword slashed straight down with no return.

The blade cut into the clone's body without hindrance, but physical attacks had no effect on the lich.The soul fire in the clone's eyes flickered, and he reached out to grab Ruret.

At this moment, Rulet grasped the hilt of the sword and twisted his wrist. At the same time, the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword was brightly lit, and the blazing white light suddenly exploded in the clone.

This is vindictiveness!The vindictiveness with the characteristic of disturbing magic elements completely disturbed the necromantic energy that constitutes the main element of the Lich's body. The red cloth robe outside the body was like a rag thrown into the whirlpool, with the place where the dragon-slaying sword pierced as the center. Center, completely twisted.

He never expected to be attacked at the moment when he was about to succeed. Collins was full of shock and anger, and even the fire of his soul was flickering due to violent emotional fluctuations.

The gushing vindictiveness unscrupulously collided and tore in the body of the Lich's clone, completely destroying his body. Collins's clone screamed miserably, its body sometimes shrunk, sometimes swelled, and twisted into various strange postures.

Finally, the condensed breath of the undead began to run wild, and the cloth robe outside the clone's body suddenly swelled into a ball, which was then torn apart.Under the cloth robe, the undead air that swelled like a black hole was quickly drawn inward, and when it shrank into a small spot, it exploded with a loud bang.

In an instant, the strong necromantic aura scattered all over the sky. This is the necromantic aura that constitutes half a lich. It can be said to be massive.The scurrying Yin Qi was like a gust of wind blowing in mid-air, the air within the affected area was bone-chillingly cold, and even the clouds in the sky were blown to pieces.

At such a close distance, it is impossible for ordinary people to withstand the impact of such a strong necromantic energy. I am afraid that they will be corrupted into ashes on the spot.

At the critical moment, Rulert withdrew part of his fighting spirit to protect his body, but he was still sent flying by the strong impact and fell hard to the ground.

The clone was completely destroyed, and the damage to Collins was unimaginable.You know, this is equivalent to chopping off half of a person's body with a knife. Although it can't cause fatal injuries to him, it can be regarded as devastating. After decades, he can't easily recover.

Raising his head and letting out a scream that resounded through the sky, the fire of soul in Collins' eyes instantly changed from red to blue-gray like that of an ordinary necromancer.This also means that although he still maintains the form of a lich, he can no longer be regarded as a lich in the true sense.

The black air bundle that wrapped Marlene collapsed, but Collins could no longer care about her. The cloth robe outside his body trembled violently, and fell to the ground like a piece of rag.

Marlene looked down at the Lich falling into the darkness of the ruins, the flames outside her body whistling in the soaring Yin Qi.However, she didn't take the opportunity to stay away, but flew towards the place where Ruret fell.

After being continuously impacted by Marlene's awakening, Mira's attack, and damage from the necromantic energy, he was as strong as Ruret and was almost reaching his limit. If he hadn't been protected by fighting energy, he might have fallen to the ground long ago.

But at this time, his situation was not optimistic. He half supported his body, lying on a pile of rubble, throwing the dragon sword aside, and coughed up blood all over his body.

Seeing Marlene falling lightly in front of him, Ruret sighed, this time I really can't fight anymore.

However, Marlene didn't attack. She just stared at him on the ground with a cold expression, not knowing what she was thinking.After a while, she finally spoke: "Why did you save me?"

Ruret was stunned: "Why? Although I don't know why that lich wanted to arrest you, I can't just watch you fall into the hands of the necromancer. It's an apology to you."

Marlene said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to apologize to me?"

Thinking she was mocking herself, Rulet smiled wryly and said, "It was the guild that brought you here that caused the current situation. No matter how you say it, you shouldn't be involved in these things."

"I woke up here because of you?" Marlene asked strangely.

Unexpectedly, she would say that, Rulert looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you Marlene?"

"Who is Marlene?" "Marlene" also showed a puzzled expression, and then said solemnly: "I am the spirit of Kenelos, the guardian of the holy land here."

"It's all messed up, no wonder the temperament is completely different, what is hidden in that girl named Marlene..." Rulert couldn't help but laugh.

Marlene suddenly asked, "Who are you and what do you want to do here?"

Rulert shook his head: "I don't know too well, the president seems to be looking for something."

Marlene frowned, and her face changed drastically: "Is that what your purpose is?"

"Do you know what it is?" Catching the message in her words, Rulert stayed focused.

Marlene suddenly became angry: "Don't try to get it, it's not something you can touch!"

Too many incredible things happened tonight, Sol's maid turned into another person, Mira turned into a silver dragon, and the lich and bone dragon suddenly appeared, everything seemed unreal like a dream.

For various reasons, even Rulert couldn't help but become interested in what is hidden in this ruin. What exactly does President Gris want?

At this moment, Marlene stretched out her hand to Ruret, and just when the latter thought she was finally about to make a move, a white flame split from her body and enveloped Ruret.

This flame is not as hot as a real flame, but it is warm and comfortable.Rulert was soon surprised to find that his injuries were recovering rapidly, as if a priest was casting divine light on him.

"Let's go, take your partner and leave immediately." Marlene said lightly.

Feeling that it was not as simple as letting her go with good intentions, Rulert couldn't help but said, "What do you want to do?"

Marlene pointed to the key floating on her shoulder: "When I gave it to the Dragon Clan, I thought I would never wake up, but it finally fell into your hands. Whether it is human or undead, Nothing in the ruins is what you deserve."

Compared with the frosty look when she just woke up, Marlene's expression is still icy now, but there is a trace of helplessness and determination in her eyes, which gives her a little human breath.

"You wouldn't think..." A sense of foreboding rose in Rulert's heart.

"I will seal this place and never let anyone set foot here. Before that, you should leave quickly." Marlene said calmly.

"Closed? What will happen to you?" Rulert couldn't help asking.

She gave him a strange look, as if wondering why this man is such a mother-in-law.But Marlene still said: "I will continue to fall into a deep sleep, maybe an eternal sleep. No, maybe I shouldn't have left the ruins in the first place."

Luret was taken aback: "Then what should she do?"

"Her?" Marlene was stunned, and then realized that Ruret was referring to "Marlene's body", she said indifferently: "This is just a container, I need her to stay in this world , so after the closure is complete, she will stay here with me."

"No!" Luret said without thinking.

"What did you say?" Marlene frowned.

"The Marlene I mentioned just now is this girl. She is not a container, just like me, she is a living person." Rulert said slowly.

What he was thinking at this time was, if Sol knew that it was the Adventurer's Guild that caused him to lose Marlene, who knows what he would do.

After staring at him coldly for a moment, Marlene turned and left: "Whatever you want, but I want to remind you that time is running out."

"stop."

The dragon-slaying sword landed on Marlene's shoulder with a swish.

"It was already a mistake for this girl to be brought here innocently. I can't let her sleep forever in this ruin. Moreover, I promised Mene that I would bring her back safely." Rulert said in a deep voice.

"Then what do you want to do? Don't forget, hurting me is equal to hurting her body." Marlene said coldly.

Swinging the sword just now was just a subconscious move. In fact, Rulet has no intention of doing anything to her.Hearing what she said at this moment, the sword in her hand sank.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang in the distance. After losing the support of the lich's magic power, the incomplete bone dragon was finally completely defeated by Mira.

Flapping its wings, it rushed straight out from the countless broken bones, and Mira landed beside Ruret.Amidst the tremors on the ground, the silver dragon crouched with its wings folded, and opened its mouth to let out an angry roar at him.

"Don't attack him, I'm fine." Marlene waved to Mira.

Mira abruptly withdrew her forward momentum, and Marlene's order must be obeyed. She could only take a few steps back angrily, but her eyes never left Rulert for a moment.

Turning her head, Marlene looked at Ruret solemnly: "It's my duty to protect the Holy Land, so I have to do it. If you want to stop it, just try."

"Believe me, I did this for your own good. The things in this are by no means something that humans should master, otherwise the entire Majna continent will fall into an unprecedented disaster."

After leaving these words, she left without looking back.Rulet hesitated, and finally slowly retracted the sword.

Seeing him put down his sword, Mira gave another demonstrative growl, and then chased after Marlene.

After staying in place for a moment, remembering what Marlene said, Rulet put his sword back into its sheath and hurried towards Kado and the others.

****************************************************************
For a moment, amidst the whistling wind, the white silver dragon fluttered its wings and flew up, and landed steadily on one of the spiers of the castle ruins, then crawled on it, stretched its neck and uttered a high-pitched cry towards the entire ruins.

At the same time, a white ball of light slowly rose to the highest point of the ruins, and when it fell to the top of the castle, as if in response to it, four corners of the whole ruins were illuminated with light.

The surviving adventurers and relic scholars all looked up at the spectacle.Ruret knew that Marlene had already begun to seal the ruins.

"Quick, take the injured person and get out of here immediately!" He yelled at everyone he met.

Under his instigation, the survivors in the ruins were in chaos, and everyone started to run outside.

"Cado, Laris, can you still go?" Soon, Rulert came to the two of them.

After resting for a while, Cardo was much better. He and Laris supported each other to stand up: "No problem."

"Get out of here with me immediately." Rulert hurriedly said as he leaned over to pick up the unconscious Meine.

"Rulette, what happened?" At this moment, a voice came from behind the three of them.

Rulert turned his head and saw that it was Raul.As he walked, he said, "There's no time to explain, Marlene is going to seal up the entire ruins, please leave here with us."

"What?" Raul was taken aback, and he hurried to Luret: "Then why don't you stop her quickly."

Ruret stopped in his tracks: "It's already this time, are you still obsessed with it?"

Raul frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Rulet took a deep breath: "Then let me ask you, what exactly is the guild looking for here?"

Raul's gaze sank immediately: "This is not something you should know. Follow my order, stop her immediately, and kill that girl if necessary!"

Ruret shook his head: "I'm sorry, I refuse."

Raul was startled and angry, he said sharply: "Rulette, don't forget your identity! Are you trying to betray the guild by doing this?"

Rulert stopped for a moment, and just when Raul thought he was finally frightened, Rulert turned around suddenly, his usually gentle face was full of anger: "I haven't asked you yet, why did you take Marlene from Luoer?" Weier came here, even innocent girls, do you still have the right to blame me? If you want to do it, you can do it yourself, I am not interested in cleaning up the mess for your stupidity."

Unexpectedly, Rulert, who has always been gentle, would be so merciless. Raul opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say anything.Cardo and Laris didn't even look at him and walked past.

"You...have you forgotten the president's entrustment?" Suddenly, as if grasping the last straw, Raul yelled wildly at Rulert's back.

"I will explain to the president, even if there are any consequences, I will bear it alone." Rulert said calmly without looking back.

Looking back at the silver dragon crouching on the ruins, Raul suddenly seemed to lose all his strength, and slumped on the ground: "It's over, why did it become like this..."

************************************************** ************
"Be careful, the ruins are just ahead." Turning his head and making a silent gesture to Jessica, Sol carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of him.

Since Simba was not as fast as Bone Dragon, the two arrived at the ruins a long time late.From a distance, I saw the raging flames and roaring continuously.This made Saul very proud. I really have no plans to spare. It seems that the Adventurer's Guild and the Lich are suffocating.

In order not to be involved in the accident, the two landed on the ground far away, and then walked through the forest.Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the edge of the ruins, the inside unexpectedly became quiet again.

Is it over so soon?I don't know which side won.Filled with doubts, Sol and Jessica sneaked across the blank area between the ruins and the forest, and hid behind a stone wall.

"This is the ruin?" Jessica asked in a puzzled tone.

"Uh... yeah, but when I came last time, it wasn't so rotten." Looking at the ruins of the ruins that had turned into rubble, Sol cursed in his heart that the Adventurer's Guild didn't know how to protect cultural relics at all.

"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, Jessica pointed to the distance with a look of surprise.

Looking in the direction of her finger, Sol immediately saw the silver dragon lying on the steeple and the dazzling ball of light on the top of the castle.

"Yes...it's a dragon, and it's silver?" In surprise, his mouth immediately opened wide.

"Were there dragons here before?" Jessica asked.

Sol shook his head: "No, at least I didn't touch it."

"Strange, it seems to be guarding the ball of light above its head." After observing for a while, Jessica said.

"It's bitter, there's an Elebena who has almost squeezed me dry, and yet another one came up, how will I live in the future." Sol has a bitter look on his face. As a matter of course, he took the dragon Think of it as another immigrant coming to Lovell to live and work.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps in front of them, and the two of them were startled, and quickly crouched down.

Soon, several people hurried past their hiding places.With the light of the burning fire among the ruins, Sol found that there were several adventurers. They were terrified and kept turning their heads while running, as if they were escaping from something.

After those people ran over, Sol and Jessica became more and more confused.

The silver dragon that came from nowhere, the strange ball of light, the ruins turned into ruins, and the frightened adventurers, there are strange things everywhere, what happened inside?

At this moment, a quarrel came from afar.The two listened attentively, but could only hear a few words, "This is not... listen to my order... stop it..." "I'm sorry... refuse... why are you..."

The two looked at each other, and Sol whispered: "One is the guy named Raul, and the other seems to be Ruret. They seem to be arguing about something."

Jessica nodded: "I heard it too."

Suddenly, Rulert said something loudly. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, a word was sent to their ears with the wind: Marlene...

The two were startled. What's going on? Why did Marlene be mentioned in their quarrel?

But then, the quarrel between the two became so fast and urgent that it could no longer be heard clearly.However, the phrase "Marlene" just now was nailed into the hearts of the two of them like a nail, and they could never get rid of it.

"What to do?" Jessica looked at Sol.

After hesitating for a moment, Sol gritted his teeth: "It seems to have something to do with Marlene, no matter what, we must find out what's going on, let's get closer."

"Yeah." Jessica nodded, and the two bowed down and sneaked towards the source of the voice.

At this time, Mira, who was lying on the tower, was looking at the figures running around below. Suddenly, she seemed to see something amazing, and her body stood up.

After staring carefully to make sure that he was not mistaken, Yinlong looked hesitantly at the ball of light above his head, then jumped out and flew to somewhere on the edge of the ruins.

Here, Sol and Jessica had just walked around a collapsed stone pillar when suddenly a huge wind roared in mid-air, and with a bang, the silver dragon descended from the sky and squatted on the top of the stone pillar.

"It's over!" The thought only had time to flash through their minds, and the two of them stood still in fright, not daring to move again.

Looking at the two of them with scorching eyes, Yinlong let out a low growl from her throat. Suddenly, she jumped down as if impatient, and rushed in front of the two of them.

Sol and Jessica didn't dare to move, for fear that a small movement would irritate her and cause death.

Seeing that the two were not moving, Yinlong became more and more anxious.She kept jumping forwards and backs in front of the two of them, and the moaning in her throat became more and more urgent, and the gravel on the ground was thrown around.
