PFC Chapter 1575: Sudden Despair
Chapter 1575: Sudden Despair
A mighty and fierce wave of energy was surging in front of the ancient altar. The moment the absolute confinement barrier took shape, it rushed towards the other side like a mountain pressing down on one's head.
Faced with the sudden confinement, the "Old Murloc King" just sneered and did not make any defensive or evasive moves at all, just letting the huge magic shackles fall from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the semicircular absolute confinement barrier had successfully closed at the altar area where the opponent was located, instantly causing the surrounding space to distort and deform.
However, no matter how heavy the gravity magnetic field and force-dissipating formation of the absolute confinement barrier were, the "Old Fishman King" remained motionless, without even blinking his eyes, and just looked over with a face full of mockery and disdain.
"How, how is this possible?!"
Feeling the tremendous energy fluctuations emanating from the absolute confinement barrier, Lena couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The merman princess clearly understood that the moment the absolute confinement barrier appeared, not only the stone elf who was casting the spell, but also other powerful magicians around her joined the energy supply under the command of the human king. Among them, there were several half-step seventh-level masters.
In this situation, it should be enough to trap my father who was at the half-step seventh level, so why did it have no effect?
Beside Lena, Lei Xiao also frowned slightly.
The moment he summoned Xiao Jie, Xuan Ji strengthened the former to the half-step seventh level. With the addition of energy from Jasmine, Fei'er, Keira, Bing Lao and others, it should be enough to easily crush more than one half-step seventh level warriors to the ground.
For a moment, not only Lei Xiao and Lena, but other strong men on our side were all filled with surprise and looked unbelievable.
"Haha, I am a god. How can your attacks cause any harm to me? You really overestimate your own abilities."
A gloomy and contemptuous laugh sounded slowly, and in the astonished eyes of the crowd, the "Old Fishman King" actually walked out of the absolute confinement barrier that was supposed to trap everything leisurely. His pair of grim old eyes kept scanning back and forth among the group of people, and finally fell on Lei Xiao.
"Boy, it's not too late to retreat now. As long as the ceremonies in the outside world are reopened, I may give you a chance to live. Remember, you are making enemies with the gods! Don't you even consider your own weight?"
The "Old Murloc King" did not stop and was still slowly approaching the group.
Even though there was only one person on the other side, the old body that had strangely broken through the absolute confinement barrier was like an approaching moving giant peak, causing everyone to break out in cold sweats. The feeling of oppression was extremely strong.
At the same time, the Devouring Guards from the outside world who were constantly attacking were becoming more and more violent, and were trying to break through our team's outer defense line.
For a moment, we seemed to have fallen into a dilemma, so much so that even Fei'er, who had always been calm, frowned.
This obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Perhaps only gods could easily walk out of the confinement barrier without even damaging it. So, could it be that the other party is really invincible?
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Lena subconsciously moved closer to Lei Xiao, her slender body trembling slightly.
Lei Xiao patted the other person's shoulder gently, then walked to the front of the team.
"If you were so powerful, you would have slaughtered the powerful fishmen who rushed in like you did at the beginning. Why are you threatening them with words here?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm. He said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't attack now, right?"
As Lei Xiao finished his words, Jasmine swung her staff violently. The next second, the space where the other party was located suddenly twisted and deformed, like a crumpled ball of paper.
Even so, the opponent's figure was not affected or harmed at all. It was just like the image in a broken mirror, with different degrees of double images appearing.
"This is……?!"
Seeing this scene, Lena and Xiaofan couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
At this point, the answer is obvious. The other party is not a physical entity at all, but just an illusory projection similar to an illusionary clone. This is why multiple figures appear in the distorted space.
Since it is just a projection, it can easily cross the absolute confinement barrier and will not be affected by any gravity.
"Sure enough, he is just pretending to be a ghost."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, after attacking Lena, you quietly replaced the old fish king's true body, right?"
"That is a container that I found with great difficulty. It will not be easily damaged by you."
After Lei Xiao exposed his trick, the expression of the "Old Fishman King" became even more gloomy, and he said coldly: "So, you guys are planning to fight me to the end?"
"It was you who kidnapped my father and caused so many fishmen to be defeated. This is the territory of the wasteland fishmen. How can we allow you to do whatever you want here?"
Lena adjusted her mind and shouted coldly at the other party: "Why don't you return my father to me?"
"How ridiculous, you stupid little merman princess! If you hadn't been so greedy and constantly trying to please and worship me, how could we be in this situation today?"
The "Old Fishman King" was full of disdain and contempt, and sneered: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world? I have satisfied your greed, and now it is time for you to pay the price."
"you……"
Hearing this, Lena was speechless for a moment, but a hint of gloom and helplessness appeared between her brows.
The other party was right. Over the past hundred years, the Wasteland Fishmen had indeed gained a lot of benefits and advantages under the other party's guidance, but correspondingly, the Wasteland Fishmen were now notorious among the second-rate forces.
Furthermore, the reason why my father trusted him more and more was because of his guidance in recent years, which made it possible for the wasteland murlocs to avoid famine under the pressure of the throne corridor.
After all, the land where the wasteland fish people live is relatively barren, and the output of fish in the sea is relatively limited, which is simply unable to meet the basic survival needs of the fish people... Under this premise, what else can my father do?
"But if you hadn't seduced my king in the beginning, how could my king have fallen at your feet!"
Xiao Fan took a step forward and said indignantly: "After all, everything is caused by you. You are the root of the disaster!"
"You are that stone elf, right? You really have an aura that makes me feel uncomfortable."
The Old Fishman King's eyes fell on Xiao Fan, and he said coldly: "That's right, even if I lured you, so what? As the saying goes, those who are willing to take the bait will be caught. All this is your own fault."
"Besides, if it weren't for me, you would still be sleeping in that 'Gate of Truth', and how could you be standing in front of me now?"
After the other party finished speaking, Xiaofan was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Lei Xiao's calm voice sounded: "Unfortunately, we didn't get any benefit from you, and now, the Wasteland Fishmen have chosen to stand with us. Since the Fishmen have been protected by me, you are the only one who should pay the price, that's all."
"Also, even if the old fishman king trusts you, he won't hand over everything he has, right? He is the king of a country, so he knows the weight he carries. I can tell this from the thriving fishman city and the simple royal castle. The old fishman king is definitely not a greedy tyrant."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes again and said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, you must have used your mental power to control the old fish king to some extent, so you can easily control everything about him, right?"
"What a disgusting boy."
The old face of the "Old Murloc King" finally showed a trace of exasperation, and he said coldly: "So what? This old thing wasted a hundred years of my time to completely control it. I didn't expect that he would be successful soon, borrowing the ritual power of those idiots from the outside world to leave the shackles of the skeleton, and then quietly control the entire Murloc Kingdom, and then ran into you guys who made trouble."
After hearing what the other party said, both Lena and Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. If this guy really replaced the old Murloc King and walked out of the temple, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.
Lena, in particular, understood clearly that in those days, this guy not only ordered his father to take advantage of trade, but also issued many extremely cruel orders at random. Fortunately, her father did not obey his orders, but just dealt with them, which allowed many innocent fishmen to escape.
The voice of the "Old Fishman King" became more and more violent, and he shouted coldly: "None of you will leave here today!"
As the words of the "Old Murloc King" fell, a large number of Devouring Guards suddenly poured out from the gray ceiling and the ground, and instantly broke through our outer defense line, making the area around the group of people appear as if the huge mouth of the abyss opened wide, swallowing us from all directions!
For a moment, the whole scene suddenly became full of murderous intent, and the surging murderous intent filled the world.
"Retreat the defense line!"
Lei Xiao acted extremely quickly. Odost was replaced by Rolandel in an instant. He swung out hundreds of sharp blades to clear out the Devouring Guards that suddenly appeared around him, while giving orders to the powerful men.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, the strong men quickly reacted to this sudden crisis. The energy in their stomachs surged out and they began to show their abilities.
The sword, battle axe and staff were swung, causing the blade light and the light of magic to intertwine, drawing deadly arcs in the air.
With the blessing of the power of God, most of these sudden Devouring Guards were quickly wiped out. Although they were still pouring out, the strong men had gathered together again under Lei Xiao's command and fought side by side.
But just when our formation had just stabilized, something strange happened again.
Without any warning, huge white walls that had never appeared before suddenly rose up around the group. These thick walls connected the ceiling and the ground, completely blocking all roads.
Since our offensive did not stop, the moment these giant walls appeared, dense magical light covered them, causing huge gaps to appear instantly.
But those sudden white walls were extremely strange. Just as a part of them was broken, they were restored to their original state in an instant.
What makes people even more chilled is that behind the broken part there is still a wall, which seems to be endless.
Noticing this scene, everyone looked at it in amazement, and then they discovered that these strange walls were actually made up of densely packed Devouring Guards squeezed and piled up together.
At the moment of shattering, everyone clearly noticed that countless white eyeballs split out from the surroundings and instantly merged with the wall, making it completely airtight.
What's even more chilling is that these walls quickly merged into a giant arc, pressing towards us from all directions at a very fast speed.
"This is……?!"
Because all this happened too suddenly, everyone was stunned, but they also held their breath and sped up their attacks.
However, despite the full firepower of our people, all we could do was to slightly slow down the speed of the giant arc squeezing in.
This giant arc that exudes murderous intent is not only repairing at an extremely fast speed, but is also merging with the massive amount of Devouring Guards that are continuously emerging from the ceiling and the ground, making the momentum even more massive and astonishing.
Beads of sweat were constantly dripping from everyone's forehead. Everyone understood clearly that our cleaning speed was far behind the opponent's copying speed. If the situation continued like this, the result would be that even if we were not swallowed up, we would be crushed into powder.
"Hahaha, let's see how you guys can continue to act so recklessly now!"
The figure of the "Old Fish King" appeared and disappeared around the giant wall, and he said arrogantly: "This time you will definitely die! After you die, I can find a way to call on those idiots outside to restore the ceremony!"
While the other party was laughing wildly, Lei Xiao had already led all the strong men to rush towards the location behind the altar, aiming directly at the giant strange white statue.
As for the scene of this huge wall, Lei Xiao had seen it once in the place favored by the Gorgon. And that strange white statue must be connected to the origin of life just like the old man in the sand robe.
Since the opponent has controlled the old fishman king and is still unable to leave, it means that the source of his life is probably still there. Therefore, as long as that place is destroyed, even if the opponent will not disappear into thin air, he will definitely suffer heavy damage.
At present, the giant arc has not covered there yet, which is the best time for us to attack!
"What are you going to do?"
The "Old Fishman King" obviously noticed Lei Xiao's intention, and a hint of nervousness suddenly appeared in his voice.
"Attack there with all your strength!"
Lei Xiao naturally ignored the other party and pointed directly at the strange humanoid statue and gave the order to attack. (End of this chapter)
