Chapter 1206: Inside and Outside the Battle
"Your Highness, are you telling me to advance to the fifth level? At this time?"
Although he was surprised, Lei Xiao calmed himself down and confirmed it again in his mind.
Lei Xiao understood clearly that although he had indeed touched the fifth-order threshold after a series of battles and various extremely expensive enhancement effects, the saturation of the two energy vortices in his abdomen became more obvious.
But even if all the conditions are met, attempting to enter the fifth-level hall is an extremely dangerous thing. The number of successful people is often only one in ten, or even one in a hundred.
Otherwise, the number of fifth-order strongmen in the human world would not be so limited, and each of them would be a dragon and phoenix among men at the level of a nation guardian.
You know, once there is a slight mistake or interference in the process of promotion, it is not uncommon for the winners to be seriously injured and their strength to decline at best, or die on the spot at worst.
Therefore, when advancing, the most basic condition is to find a safe place where no one will disturb you. Obviously, no matter how you think about it, the battlefield does not belong to such a place.
What's more, he was facing a mysterious existence whose strength was at the peak of the sixth level, and each of his attacks was enough to cripple an elite army.
In addition, advancing to the fifth-level strongman is an extremely time-consuming task, which can take a week or even longer.
Even if he managed to overcome all the difficulties by chance and succeed in advancing, the human world would have long been annihilated by countless roots of darkness and blood.
"Yes, it is at this time."
Fei'er responded as if it was a matter of course, "Since you have already met the standards for entering the new palace, what are you hesitating about?"
"As for what you are worried about, this princess is naturally very clear about it, but don't forget that you are a son chosen by God who possesses the power of God's favor, and you have this princess to protect you."
At this point, Fei'er's voice became solemn, and she added: "The most important thing is that the current battle situation is already extremely unfavorable. If you can't make further progress, there will be no hope of breaking through."
"In other words, I have no choice?"
Lei Xiao frowned tightly while struggling to resist the attack of the mysterious being.
Currently, although the four stone elves, Louise, Diana, Lorenz, and Wudeng, are all trying to break their respective confinement barriers, judging from their slow and staggering movements, it is obviously difficult to do so in a short period of time.
As for Bing Lao, Yonir and Hui Lao, they were trying their best to break through the absolute defense barrier that blocked their way and continuously bombarded the thick barrier wall with all their strength.
These barriers are supported by a total of 9 "Xiao Jie" and should not be so hard, but judging from the rich dark red flashing on the barriers, they are obviously strengthened and blessed by the forbidden tree.
"Boy, I admit that you have indeed greatly exceeded my expectations, but what can I do about it? I still can't do anything."
The mysterious being on the opposite side was swinging his scythe wildly, with a hint of mockery and disdain on his hideous and distorted face.
After getting rid of the interference from other strong men on our side, even if Lei Xiao's strength increased dramatically, it was still difficult to shake him at all, and he was not even able to leave his sight.
Therefore, just keep your eyes on the ants from another world in front of you, and when the absorption officially begins, everything will be settled.
By then, both Lei Xiao and others in front of him, as well as the entire human world, will soon be completely destroyed!
And he can return to the top by stepping on countless bones and despair, and welcome the beginning of a new world!
Just as the mysterious being thought of this, as if in response to him, countless roots filled with blood and darkness began to become more active and crazy.
Whether it is the inner city walls or outer city walls where the enemy and our armies are still fighting fiercely in Glowing City, or the dungeons where a large number of our soldiers are imprisoned.
Countless roots have begun to search for targets. They have not only climbed onto the bodies of our injured, but also climbed onto the bodies of our weaker ones one after another. They soon entangled the targets tightly, making them unable to move at all, like lambs to be slaughtered.
For a moment, in addition to the endless shouts, weapons collisions, and magic explosions inside and outside the Glowing City, there were also long-lasting screams and wails of terror.
Under the strange wriggling and entanglement of countless roots, our soldiers who originally had the upper hand began to gradually find themselves at a disadvantage, while the counterattack of the unaffected opponents became more fierce and deadly.
The blood-stained blade cut through the armor, and the bright red that splashed onto the ground reflected the faces of the enemy soldiers who were filled with murderous intent, distorted and hideous.
"General, the soldiers are being defeated. Two of the four walls we occupied have already been lost!"
On the blood-filled outer city wall, a middle-aged deputy general with a dented breastplate crawled to Bert's side and said in a panic, "Many of our soldiers were entangled in the air by those terrible roots that are everywhere. They can't get away at all!"
"No matter what, you must hold on!"
Bert swung his battle axe and chopped down a Knight Guard assassin who was trying to assassinate him. His old face, which was blackened by gunpowder smoke, said solemnly: "Your Highness is sacrificing his life to fight the source of evil. How can we retreat even a step?"
"Fight for His Royal Highness!"
As soon as Bert said this, our soldiers around him responded loudly, but new screams soon sounded from the front of our line.
I saw countless enemy soldiers with murderous intent and grim smiles on their faces. They had already brandished their weapons and, with the help of their roots, launched a fierce attack on us again.
"Phantom Clan, stop hanging on there, you and your master are going to die together soon!"
On the wall of the inner city, Gustav's thin face was full of grimness as he looked at Shirley who was panting not far away.
I saw that the number of roots here was obviously much denser than that of the outer city. Countless roots like giant earthworms were wriggling and intertwining with each other, so that the original appearance of the city wall could no longer be seen, only a piece of blood and darkness remained.
Shirley's breathing was weak and her chest was heaving violently.
These ubiquitous roots would greatly interfere with her illusion casting, while Gustav on the opposite side was not affected at all. As a result of the loss of one and the gain of the other, coupled with the opponent's anti-magic power, Shirley was soon at an absolute disadvantage.
As for the heroes like Thor and the soldiers of the summoned legion, they also had a very hard fight, because the roots would also affect their strength, and would even actively entangle the high-level warriors.
This means that Thor and his companions not only have to focus on the enemies in front of them, but also have to avoid the roots that are everywhere. This is a dilemma.
What's more, the enemies they faced were those extremely difficult Black Mist soldiers.
"Stop talking nonsense there. I will never let you interfere with the Lord!"
Shirley straightened her slender body and said to Gustav in a serious tone: "As long as I haven't fallen down, you can't leave here!"
"Hehe, if I am not mistaken, you, like those heroes, also reappeared in the world through the miracle building of the Cold Flame Kingdom, right?"
Gusta looked at Shirley with a joking expression, and said leisurely: "The densely populated Lengyan King City is one of the main sources of energy for the Supreme Lord. I am afraid that the palace has already been occupied by the roots. These roots will not let go of any energy body, of course, including the miracle building."
“Don’t think you can do whatever you want just by relying on the miracle building. When the Lion King Palace also becomes a target for absorption, the life source of you and these old guys will disappear in an instant!”
Gustav's smile became more intense, and he said grimly: "In other words, your death is not far away!"
After saying that, Gustav's majestic aura surged, and the overwhelming gray fog swept towards Shirley.
"It was the Lord who awakened me and gave me the chance to be reborn. Even if I were to turn to ashes, I would never let you threaten the Lord in the slightest!"
There was no fear on Shirley's fair face as she walked straight forward.
Apart from the turbulent situation inside and outside the Glorious City, there was also wailing everywhere in the human countries.
On the city wall of Lion City, the capital of Lengyan Kingdom, countless roots with bared fangs and claws were spreading rapidly towards the city wall like geckos.
As for the palace area in the inner city, it has almost become a sea of roots.
Ariel, wearing the queen's robe, was standing on the city wall, directing the last few groups of residents of the capital to evacuate to the high ground outside the city.
"Your Majesty, please evacuate the capital as soon as possible!"
Al's determined face was full of anxiety as he pleaded with Ariel.
Just now, as the prime minister, he had learned that although Ariel's reaction was extremely quick and she immediately activated the emergency plan and ordered the subjects in the royal capital to evacuate.
However, because these indestructible blood-colored roots grew so rapidly and soon showed their aggressiveness, many soldiers who were maintaining order and residents with limited mobility did not have time to leave and were entangled one after another.
Faintly, wailing and cries of fear could be heard from all over the city, and the air was filled with stench and despair.
In addition, these roots are even constantly breaking out of the ground and spreading outside the city at a very fast speed, which means that the city is no longer safe.
Ariel is not only the queen of the Lengyan Kingdom, but also the lord's close subordinate, so naturally she cannot make any mistakes.
"Sir Orr, he went deep into the source of these roots regardless of everything and fought for the safety of the human world. How can I retreat here?"
The crown on Ariel's head shone brightly, and her delicate face was full of solemnity and determination as she said, "I once promised him that I would protect him from behind and not let him be distracted. Now is the time to fulfill my promise!"
"Her Majesty the Queen..."
Looking at Ariel's determined white face, Or said nothing else. Instead, he gritted his teeth and began to assist Ariel in her command.
However, what they didn't know was that although the roots on the ground were already extremely crazy and densely packed, there were still more roots lurking deep underground, wriggling and growing madly, ready to break out of the ground at any time.
This not only includes the entire royal capital area, but also the highland area where countless residents are heading.
Except for the Lengyan Kingdom, the situation in other human countries is similar.
Cities, villages, fortresses, bridges, fields, mountains, and even the Everlasting Sleeping Canyon that trapped the allied forces of the Holy Night Kingdom and the Canglan Federation, no place was spared. Some cities and villages were even completely covered in blood red and darkness.
In countless dark corners, many people were tightly entangled by roots, leaving only their terrified faces, which gradually turned blue and stiff.
Darkness fell, and the thick dark clouds in the sky lingered for a long time. Chaos, fear, confusion, screaming and wailing were spreading wildly on the land of the human world.
Deep inside the main hall of the Holy Temple of Light, which was filled with murderous intent, Lei Xiao, whose palms were completely numb, gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "Princess Pelican, what should I do to advance here?"
"As expected of a guy who can wake up this princess, he really has some courage."
Fei'er's clear voice immediately rang out, and she responded: "First, go to this princess' throne and take out the last holy weapon [Odoste]. Only when you fully exert the power of the three holy weapons will you have hope of advancing."
"give it to me."
Lei Xiao concentrated his mind and once again used all his strength to swing a sharp sword at the mysterious being, shouting: "Senluo Slash!"
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, hundreds of sword energies shot out and swept towards the mysterious existence.
At the same time, a large number of Lei Xiao's afterimages appeared, surrounding the mysterious existence.
"Ant, such ridiculous tricks will not work in front of me!"
The mysterious existence snorted coldly, and suddenly swung out a sharp blood-black wave with the scythe in his hand, which dispersed all the afterimages of Lei Xiao.
But in the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao had already flown to the golden throne not far away and stopped instantly.
"Touch the three inches below the back of the throne, and this princess will open a micro-enchantment area, where [Odost] is stored!"
The Pelican Princess's urgent voice immediately rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
Seeing Lei Xiao's unusual behavior, the mysterious existence reacted extremely quickly. It raised its sickle and turned it into a black light, then rushed forward with murderous intent.
Feeling the murderous intent approaching, Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and decisively reached out to the place where Fei'er pointed.
Sure enough, the moment Lei Xiao touched the back of the throne, a wave of space surged, allowing Lei Xiao to go deeper.
As soon as his palm passed the space crack, a slightly cool metal rod was grasped in Lei Xiao's hand.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao took out the metal rod from the small space, and what came into view was an exquisite silver staff inlaid with a white gem on the top.
"Boy, bring the things to me!"
Seeing Lei Xiao take out a strange staff that he had never seen before from the throne he had occupied for a hundred years, the mysterious being who had already approached was surprised, and opened his big hand to grasp one end of the staff.
For a moment, Lei Xiao felt an overwhelming force, and his staff was about to fly out of his hand.
