Chapter 246 The Fall of the God of War

 …

 The spirit of the earth?

Matthew felt a little baffled. Wasn't this thing kept as a treasure by the Druid Order? Why did he suddenly summon him?

 He has never had any interaction with the spirit of the earth.

Is it because of my high natural affinity?

With such doubts, Matthew said to Delong with some embarrassment:

 “Does it have to be now?”

 “I’m afraid not now, I have to be with my colleagues.”

Although Suriel did not explicitly order the first batch of Alliance mages to come to help protect the Cross City.

And theoretically, the four of them have repelled the disaster of the Broodmother Lotus caused by the Order of Blight.

  They have no responsibility to contribute in the coming meteor shower.

 But even it is based on the most basic moral principles in the heart.

Matthew had no reason to sit idly by.

What’s more, Ai Lan and the other three plan to continue to protect Cross City in the future.

 At this time.

Each additional mage can provide an additional boost.

 What's more, Matthew has an army of the undead in his hands.

 He is confident that he will provide more help in the upcoming defense battle of Cross City.

 So he decisively rejected Delong's request.

Delong looked surprised, and then said seriously:

“Mr. Matthew, the spirit of the earth must have called you for something very important.

You know, in the past few years, the spirit of the earth has almost disappeared, and he is very wary of outsiders.

Although I don’t know why he wants to summon you, I think he must have a very important reason for coming.

 I hope you will definitely go there.

Maybe it won’t take much time? "

Matthew looked hesitant when he heard this.

If the number of mages guarding the city could be larger, he wouldn't mind taking a trip.

 But retreating at this critical juncture is a bit like betraying your teammates.

And the sudden summons of the earth spirit is also strange.

He instinctively resisted.

At the moment, Matthew turned back and asked the three members of the evaporation team:

“Is the only follow-up support from the alliance to be sent by people from Hesuo Mountain?”

“And there are only three of you in Heisuo Mountain?”

Combs had a bruised eye and replied with some embarrassment:

“When we set out, we heard that there was something wrong with the hot spring prison in Mount Blackso. Lord Alexander transferred all the law enforcers and evaporation teams there, so we were the first ones to come over for support.”

"Wenquan Prison is where Heisuo Mountain imprisons the most vicious and powerful prisoners. Based on past experience, every time there is a riot in Wenquan Prison, it will take at least three months to quell it, so we can count on Heisuo Mountain sending out troops in the short term. It’s unlikely more people will come here.”

 “As for other places in the south, I don’t know.”

Combos’s current attitude is very humble.

It was in sharp contrast to the arrogant attitude at the beginning.

It seemed like he was afraid of being beaten by Matthew if he said the wrong thing.

 Fortunately Matthew did not blame him.

 He just frowned slightly.

At this time, Ai Lan also spoke:

“The alliance’s manpower is very tight, and the mages from Gemstone Bay and the East Coast who might have come to support have all been transferred to the battle site of Wild Wolf Mountain.”

"If I remember correctly, today is the third day of the battle. The two parties participating in the battle are Lion City and Hetan Town. The strength of the two sides is about the same. It will take at least seven or eight days to decide the outcome."

"Similar to the Battle of Moss Green Hills, Lion City, which received the assistance of Danfeng Castle, is now the largest force in the south. In the past month, it has signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Deep Blue Port and Gold Water City, plus the Golden Lion The area of ​​​​Lion City now exceeds the largest territory recorded in the history of the South.”

"Because of the threat from Lion City, the three towns of Hetan merged into a new territory, and their strength was greatly improved. They are suspected to have the support of Yonge Forest, so this battle can be called the largest and highest level war in the south. . Almost all the non-registered mages in the south have been transferred there before, and the possibility of wanting to transfer them again anytime soon is very low."

 Hear this.

Hibbert couldn’t help but said blankly:

 “Aren’t they all human?”

 “If it’s a civil war among humans, can’t we let them stop for a while?”

 “Let those mages come over to help first!”

　Faced with Hibbert’s innocent question.

Ai Lan smiled bitterly:

“War can never be stopped.”

"Some mages may be on their way to Watcher's Heights, but the mages responsible for ruling must stay where they are. Otherwise, if unexpected factors arise in this battle, it will not only be the alliance's reputation that is damaged. "

“The war will get completely out of control.”

Hood sneered:

“The war should have been out of control. Only the high-ranking masters of the Silver Council feel that they can control everything.”

“Yes, absolute violence can indeed suppress many things, but it cannot erase the soul of the resister.”

“I think the Alliance will be asking for trouble sooner or later if it does this!”

Ai Lan advised softly:

"This is the decision of the legendary mages. You'd better not question it casually."

Hibbert kindly reminded:

 “There’s no need for this, Ms. Ai Lan, I support Mr. Hood.”

Hood was quite happy at first.

 Until he heard the next sentence:

“He doesn’t have a few days to live anyway, so he can say whatever he wants.”

This time he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and even his bald head looked a little shiny.

“However, the Silver Council should clearly distinguish what is important and what is important. Follow-up reinforcements will arrive in an hour at the latest, so everyone does not need to be too pessimistic.”

 Ai Lan hurriedly smoothed things over.

Hood was silent for a while, and then suddenly said to Matthew:

"Go ahead."

“Since the spirit of the earth is looking for you, there must be an important reason.”

“Don’t worry about what will happen to us without you, we can stabilize the situation.”

 Said.

 He cleared his throat:

"I am the oldest among the first batch of mages who arrived. Considering that I am about to die, I will temporarily take over the command."

“Matthew, go find the Earth Spirit first and see what the Earth Society has planned for you;

 Hibbert, you are responsible for observing and guarding the southern blocks of Cross City;

 Ai Lan, go and keep an eye on the territories to the north.

 Remember, observation and delaying are the main things, and try not to get into a fight.

If an enemy breaks in from outside the city, use control spells or harassment spells, and never risk yourself.

 In the final analysis, the main material realm is still our territory. As long as we can delay time and wait for the support of the alliance, all problems will be solved. Do you understand? "

 The three people have different expressions.

 But in the end no comments were made.

Compos next to him asked weakly:

 “What about us?”

 He pointed to the other two companions beside him.

Hood said angrily:

“Someone has to go outside the city to negotiate with those robbers and bandits, right?”

“You guys follow me out of the city!”

Matthew hurriedly said:

 “Mr. Hood…”

Hood, however, stopped him:

“I am an old man who is about to die. No matter what accident happens, it is not worth regretting;

 The three of them are also **** scum. It’s time to make some positive contributions to the alliance.

 As for you, you are different.

As long as you young people are still alive, it’s actually not a big deal even if the gods are reincarnated successfully.

Maybe their growth rate is not as fast as yours.

 At that time, we will still have the final say on this land.

 This will do.

 In a word—

Live well! "

 The three of them were a little moved.

 Hibbert's eyes were even slightly moist.

Hooderton showed a disgusted expression:

"Don't be such a bitch, you are a genius. Geniuses don't need to shed tears for others. You should be selfish, immerse yourself in your own world, and fully unleash your potential. This is what geniuses should do."

Matthew took a step forward and hugged Hood gently:

"Be careful when you go out of the city to negotiate with those people. Don't fight them with a death mentality."

“Because I actually have a secret way to extend life here. As long as you come back safely, I will share it with you.”

Hood suddenly looked surprised:

 “Are you kidding me?”

Matthew smiled and shook his head:

“I forgot to tell you that in addition to being a necromancer, I also have some accomplishments in the natural field.”

Hood showed a look of relief, and then patted Matthew heavily on the shoulder:

 “Okay, okay!”

 “Wait until I come back safely!”

 Said.

 He grabbed the three dejected members of the evaporation team and flew quickly towards the eastern sky.

at this time.

 Some meteors have already fallen above the protective cover.

 Boom, boom, boom!

Huge whistling and crashing sounds alarmed everyone in the city.

The civilians who were still evacuating and fleeing looked at this scene in horror.

Some people couldn’t help but kneel down and pray.

Those who have already been fleeing have accelerated their pace.

The druids shouted loudly at the chaotic crowd.

 North of the city.

 The dense crowd moved slowly towards the cave area.

 Depression and panic fell like autumn leaves from the trees on both sides of the road.

　　falls into people’s minds.

 Heavy as a mountain.

Matthew took a deep look at the fiery horizon.

Then he turned around and followed Delon towards the Holy Oak area.

 …

 The astral realm.

On a curved surface woven with countless colorful light nets.

 A funnel-shaped space is sometimes shrinking inward and sometimes expanding outward.

 Outside the funnel.

Countless light points are hidden in the meteorite rain, waiting for opportunities.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 Even though there is no sound.

But when those lifeless stones and flames hit the curved surface.

 Those who witnessed this scene seemed to think of such a voice in their hearts.

obviously.

This huge funnel was formed because of the meteorite rain hitting the permanent barrier.

 And inside the loophole.

 Thirteen giant golden nets are unevenly distributed.

These networks act like filters, trapping larger meteorites and meteors while allowing smaller ones to penetrate into lower layers.

 In silence.

More and more light points began to try to cross the first giant network.

The first batch of light points have just collided with the network.

 His body begins to burn uncontrollably.

 Finally, it was reduced to ashes amidst the tragic wailing.

That is the cry that an angel erupts before his death.

 No one can hear them.

Perhaps there will be similar echoes only in the cosmic storms a few years later.

  With the passage of time.

 More and more meteorites and light points poured into the funnel.

The angels headed towards the land that they had been thinking about for hundreds of years without hesitation!

 “It’s really tragic.”

 In the formation.

Ronan made a low sigh of relief.

The giant golden net in front of you is the super spell "Hunter's Cross" solidified by the natural disaster mage.

 This spell is specifically designed to target gods and creatures from the outer planes.

 Humans passed through unscathed.

 But if a divine creature breaks through the level by force, it will definitely face the end of being wiped out in ashes!

This group of angels are already smart enough.

 They seized the opportunity of the meteor shower.

 Under the cover of meteorites, the defense density of the Hunter's Cross will be affected.

 It may not be able to strangle all the angels.

  But you can kill most of them.

 “How many have died?”

Ekmund asked.

"More than 2,000, less than 2,500. This batch of angels is more than we imagined. I don't know which old ghost just sent another batch. It is estimated that there should be more than 800 angels that will eventually reach the ground."

Ronan’s tone was quite serious.

 “Where is Vasnov?”

 Eckmund asked again.

"He is still making breakthroughs. After all, he was the Lord of Tianlun Palace for a short time. He must have a lot of good things in his hands. Even if he is separated from his godhead, he can last longer than ordinary angels."

"Currently, he is in the ninth level. It is estimated that he can only survive to the eleventh level at most. This is the record left by the Lord of Glow when he attacked the permanent barrier. The God of War should not be stronger than the original Lord of Glow. "

Suriel calmly narrated.

 “I have a bad feeling.”

Linde’s voice sounded:

“Although Vasnov likes to create an impulsive and reckless persona, he is actually very cautious. If he dares to take the lead in attacking the Hunter’s Cross, he must have a certain degree of confidence.”

Suriel said calmly:

"Of course, no one would really die, let alone the gods who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"It's just that we don't have deeper control over the permanent barrier. We can't go anywhere except the position."

"Vasnov's life and death are not decided by us, but by the Hunting Cross left by him and the Scourge Mage."

 The other three fell silent.

 In fact, they all know what Suril said, but now they are trapped in a permanent barrier in disguise, and they have to find something to say.

 “It’s so boring, why don’t you make a bet?”

Ronan yawned.

Ekmund glanced at him:

“Okay, I bet Vasnov can successfully reach the ground.”

Ronan asked with great interest:

 “I don’t think he can do it.”

 “How do you say bet?”

Eckmund said with a smile:

"If I win, you will share with me the last part of the secret treasure of the Magic Goddess that you have kept privately."

“If I lose, I will share with you part of the secret treasure of the Magic Goddess that I found.”

Ronan was a little dizzy at first.

Immediately he said doubtfully:

“Does the goddess of magic have other secrets?”

"How did I not hear it being said?"

"Where did you find it?" Faced with Suriel's slightly contemptuous gaze, Ekmund said without blushing:

“I found it anyway, it’s up to you whether you want to bet or not.”

Ronan thought for a while:

“Then let’s bet, I have no use for the remaining part anyway…”

Eckmond smiled on the outside, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

 At this time.

Linde suddenly said loudly:

 “That’s not right!”

“Why did he rush from the ninth level to the thirteenth level all at once?”

 Everyone was a little surprised.



 Looking almost the same on the surface.

 In fact, the intensity is quite different.

 The giant net in the twelfth level is enough to strangle the divine mage!

 And the thirteenth level is even more devastating!

Since they were in the formation, they could see extremely clearly, but they saw Vasnov, who had transformed into a golden-armored statue, pushing a huge meteorite into the deepest part of the funnel!

that moment.

 Hundreds of faceless men with golden wings appeared around him!

The structure of these faceless men and angels is similar, and they are all pure spiritual bodies.

 The moment he saw these faceless people.

 All the mages became excited.

 “Golden God Wings!”

Suriel whispered, his eyes shining with yearning.

 Golden God Wings.

This is one of the signature spells of the Scourge Mage back then.

 She can summon thousands of Golden God Wings from other dimensions in an instant.

 The strength of this creature is between strong divine power and weak divine power.

 But a battle formation composed of only a dozen Jintian Shenyi can easily strangle a powerful god!

 Even at the peak of the God of War.

 It is impossible to face so many golden wings!

 “He’s dead!”

Linde frowned:

“Unless he can become weaker than an angel…”

 The words have not yet finished.

Just when the golden wings of heaven wrapped the God of War tightly.

Vasnov shook off the meteorite he was pushing.

 The next second.

 He looked up to the sky and smiled.

 A fiery light erupted from within him—

　　Boom!

 In silence.

 Vasnov's body automatically collapsed and shattered into hundreds of pieces!

Some of those fragments were repelled by the gravity of the plane and flew out.

 Some are sinking rapidly, falling towards the main material realm.

Surprisingly.

The Golden God Wings who were originally gathered around saw this scene and actually chose to stand by and watch!

They didn’t even try to stop the debris from falling into the mortal world!

"what's the situation?"

“Vasnov chose the godhead to self-destruct, and his consciousness was shattered into hundreds of parts, and they sank together with the fragments of the godhead... The key is why didn’t the Golden Sky Divine Wings stop those fragments?”

Ronan was surprised.

 The other three showed the same expression.

Suriel immediately mobilized the authority in the formation and asked the leader of the Golden Sky God Wing.

 The latter just glanced at the mages and replied coldly:

“He has already chosen to live towards death, so why should he kill them all?”

“And his consciousness will become an idiot for a long time after he exposes himself. Are you afraid of an idiot?”

“Besides, there is a question mark as to whether these fragments of godhead can find suitable hosts.

 The order given to us by the master is to intercept the gods trying to cross the line, not to intercept an idiot. "

 The mages were speechless.

 In fact, at their level, they could vaguely guess the intention of the natural disaster mage.

 At that time, she was fully capable of completely annihilating the gods, but she did not do so and just chose to be exiled.

So she must have understood that one day the gods would return.

“So is this scene what she wants to see?”

Lind looked at the flames burning in the sky and murmured.

Ronan was confused and said:

“Do you think Vasnov knew about this situation in advance, or did he really give it a try and succeed unexpectedly?”

 No one can answer his question.

Linde lowered his head and glanced at the thousands of golden lights that were spreading to the world under the funnel:

“So many angels have died, and extraordinary energy has fallen into the world. It is estimated that there will be a group of strong people in Irondor.”

“I hope these people will be able to produce the main force to resist the gods and monsters from the outer plane in the future...”

Suriel said softly:

  “There will be.”

“I have just predicted the trajectory of the God of War fragments, most of which will follow the meteorite rain to the Watcher Highlands and the Far North Floating City.”

“We don’t need to worry about the matters in these two places for the time being.”

At this time, outside the multi-curved surface, a large number of white light spots appeared in the endless darkness.

 There are also some outlines like whales or flying elephants that appear and disappear among the light spots.

 The expressions of the mages all became very serious.

 Because they know.

These creatures are astral scavengers attracted to the Withered Angels.

Among them are the infamous astral termites, the ravenous baleen whales, and the legendary creature Skeleton Dumbo.

These monsters are not difficult to deal with individually.

 It will take some effort to clean up after being gathered together.

 The mages cheered up and began to control the outer positioning spells of the permanent barrier.

 Death continues.

 …

 Cross City.

 Hallowoak area.

Crossing the lush oak wall and the scorched-earth smell of swords and fire.

Matthew walked through the atrium of an old building.

This is the temple of the Earth Spirit.

 The druids of the Earth Order are similar to those of the Moonlight Order. They not only abide by the ways of nature, but also worship gods related to the natural realm.

 At first they worshiped the earth god.

Since the death of the God of the Earth, the object of worship of the Earth Society has been changed to a natural soul who followed the Earth Society.

 That is the current spirit of the earth.

"The path ahead reaches the end, which is the entrance to the underground sanctuary. Here is the final guard. Even within our Earth Society, only two great druids are allowed to enter that area. Of course, you are a exception."

Delong pointed to the path ahead and said:

“I can only send it here. I wish you a pleasant conversation with the spirit of the earth.”

 Matthew nodded.

 After verifying his identity with the two guards in front, he came to a deep garden alone.

There are countless kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing in the garden.

There are no gardeners to prune the land, so all kinds of plants grow wildly.

 But they vaguely followed a certain tacit understanding and rules, and did not encroach on each other's living space.

So Matthew could barely find the path leading deep into the garden among the overgrown weeds.

 He walked away for a while.

 Suddenly stopped.

 In front is a crooked old locust tree.

The roots of the locust tree are very thick, like a huge millstone, and the branches on it are dotted, not very prosperous.

However, it was not the old locust tree that made Matthew stop.

 But the shadow under the locust tree.

 Although the shadow itself does not have any abnormal movement.

 But Matthew is still keen to capture the beast-like life hidden in it.

 He slowed down his pace and walked over silently.

  After a while.

 The moment he stepped into the shadows.

 A somewhat familiar voice rang quickly in his ears:

 “Don’t go any further, Mr. Matthew!”

 The outline of a humanoid creature emerged from the shadows.

Matthew looked surprised.

 Even if it’s just an outline.

 He can also recognize the identity of the other party:

 “Laila? Why are you here?”

 Lyra the Shadowswornbreaker!

It was Matthew who sent her to Watcher Heights to find Eli's whereabouts. In subsequent letters, Lyla stated that she was seriously injured and needed to find a place to recuperate. Matthew came to Cross City and tried to contact her, but in the end Still failed.

　　Unexpectedly, this drow warrior actually came to the depths of the underground temple!

“I did not come to you, I just used the power of shadow to remind you of the trap ahead!”

Laila's voice was very anxious, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish her words:

“Listen to me first, don’t enter that door, don’t enter!”

 Matthew looked up.

Not far from the depths of the path, there is the entrance to the underground temple that Delong said, which is the door that Laila mentioned.

 “What’s going on? Speak slowly.”

 Matthew realized something was wrong.

"When I was investigating the Scourge Cult, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Eli. He was fighting the Queen of the Whale Hunters at the time, so I went over to help. However, that woman was too powerful. Neither Mr. Eli nor I Her opponent.”

"That woman seemed to be very interested in Mr. Eli. She knocked him out and took him away. But she was full of hostility towards me. I was almost killed by her. At the critical moment, the power of Dusk Creation Gailan protected me. I."

"He included me in the shadows, and I was spared my life, but as a condition, I must either become Galan's slave permanently, or do a few things for him."

“Before this, I can’t escape from the shadow realm.”

 Laila's voice was calm.

Haven't the slightest bit of frustration at being controlled by Gai Lan, the creature of dusk.

 “What are you going to do for him?”

Matthew asked.

Laila said quickly:

"This is not important. What is important is that I learned from Galan that there is something wrong with the soul of nature enshrined by the Earth Society. He secretly imprisoned the two great druids, Voice of the Earth and Silver Wolf!"

“I don’t know any more information, but there must be something wrong with the spirit of the earth. I know that you have always had a close relationship with the soul of nature. I was worried that the spirit of the earth would be bad for you, so I waited and waited, and finally ran into you..."

 Is there something wrong with the earth spirit?

 Two archdruids were imprisoned?

Matthew's heart skipped a beat.

 But Laila's current situation also made him hesitate.

 So he asked:

 “What did Gai Lan ask you to do?”

Laila was silent for a while and said with some tangle:

 “He wants to talk to you.”

"This is too dangerous for you, so I am unwilling to carry out His orders. Even if I become His slave, I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

 Speaking of which.

Her voice suddenly became panicked:

 “You should leave quickly, remember, stay away from shadowy places during the next period of time...”

 Laila hasn’t finished speaking yet.

The shadow under the oak tree suddenly began to expand rapidly, quickly surrounding Matthew!

 “horse…xiu…”

 An extremely distant voice sounded.

 “Let’s talk…”

Matthew's heart began to twitch, and an extremely painful feeling arose in his heart.

 In an instant.

This feeling is weakened.

 Because at that moment, a small space-time crack suddenly appeared on Matthew's shoulder, and a light fairy came out from inside.

 “Good afternoon, Mr. Matthew!”

“Are you free today to listen to my story about the Crazy Miaozhen?”

Xiaoxiu looked at Matthew expectantly.

  Different from before.

Matthew noticed that this time Xiaoxiu had a mini alarm clock hanging on his chest that was clicking away.

 Every time the alarm clock goes off.

Matthew felt a little dizzy, and suddenly there were some strange desires in his heart that he wanted to vent.

  Madness and shadow.

 The two major fields competed against each other and locked Matthew tightly.

 Matthew took a deep breath.

is planning to open up its own field to compete with it.

 But at this time.

 A cute and honest bear suddenly crawled out of the door.

 “You are here at last, distinguished guest of all nature spirits, Mr. Matthew.”

 “Looks like you’re in a bit of trouble, do you need my help?”

The bear waved at Matthew naively.

However, Matthew felt an extremely rotten smell in it.

  It seemed like a pile of corpses that had been stinking and rotting for several years!

"Um?"

Matthew was just about to open a field to escape, but unexpectedly found that there was a fourth field covering him.

It is also this field that has resisted erosion from different angles.

 “Whose domain is guarded?”

 When this thought just came to his mind.

 A streak of white hair suddenly appeared at the edge of his vision.

"You seem to be very interested in my student. If you are so anxious to meet him, you must have prepared a meeting gift, right?"

 “Let me see your sincerity, Slug, Little Alarm Clock…and Slutty Bear.”
