Chapter 1500 Trial
Inside the elegantly decorated VIP room, Lei Xiao and his companions felt astonished and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
There is no need to explain how terrifying "Eclipse" is. Not only is it immune to all kinds of ordinary attacks, it can also parasitize on all races and even dragons.
After being parasitized, "Eclipse" can directly erase the host, and then completely deprive and control everything of the host, and even use the spells mastered by the host, and also become immune to all ordinary attacks.
The only way to fight against "Eclipse" is the power of the stars in the [God's Stone]. This special power can only be activated by the holder of the [God's Stone] and is undoubtedly extremely limited, as can be seen from this.
Of course, the most shocking thing is that the [God's Stone] itself can be "eroded" and destroyed. After all, in the land where we are, we have never heard of the [God's Stone] being broken!
"I didn't expect that after being repeatedly defeated by Eclipse, the God Stone would actually break apart."
Jasmine's starry eyes trembled, and she looked incredulous.
You know, even the forest elves who possess a large number of [God's Stones] have never encountered the situation of [God's Stones] being broken, and the same is probably true for other first-class forces.
After all, the number of "Eclipses" that appear on our land is extremely limited. Even if they appear on a large scale, they are completely within the controllable range. It is rare for the Stone Elves to be defeated by "Eclipse", let alone being defeated repeatedly.
But what is certain is that as the [God's Stone] is broken one after another, the power to resist the "Eclipse" will become weaker and weaker. In this case, if the catastrophe really comes, the result can be imagined. I am afraid that our land will not be able to escape the same fate as here.
After all, including the forest elves, the means and measures to deal with the catastrophe are all based on the premise that the [God's Stone] will not be broken, and they all choose to remain unscathed.
As far as Jasmine knew, her forest elves had even used the incomplete divine magic to develop a method to awaken the dormant [God's Stone] in advance.
"Your Excellency, may I ask whether the forces here will fight against the Eclipse together or choose to stay out of it?"
Jasmine collected her thoughts and asked first.
"To be honest with you, Mr. Pink Hero, in the beginning, all the major forces, including the human race, chose to stay out of trouble and rely on their own strength to fight against the "Eclipse."
Booker's wrinkled old eyes were filled with melancholy. He responded, "After all, we not only had to guard against the Eclipse at that time, but also against each other. There were many cases where other forces took advantage of the weakening of the Eclipse to swallow us up. Suspicion and suspicion were like the whispers of the devil, which always prevented the major forces from working together."
"But with the destruction of the God's Stone, when the major forces gradually realized that they could only deal with everything by standing together, it was already too late."
"As the power of the Demon-Blocking Wall weakened, more and more Eclipses began to appear, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and even millions. Every large-scale Eclipse was a complete catastrophe."
After hearing what Old Booker said, Lei Xiao, Jasmine and the others opened their eyes wide again, their hearts pounding.
You know, when Lei Xiao fought against "Eclipse" in the battle of Dragon's Lair, the number of the enemy was only in the hundreds. As far as Jasmine knows, the largest "Eclipse" battle experienced by the forest elves was only against thousands of opponents.
As for the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more, it was simply beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, even with the blessing of the [God's Stone], we only gained the power to cause damage to the "Eclipse". Once a large number of strong people are parasitized, the consequences will still be unimaginable, not to mention that the "Eclipse" can also bring fear and madness. Old Nick is the best example.
For a moment, the scene of the coming catastrophe seemed to have appeared in Lei Xiao and Jasmine's minds. It was undoubtedly the end of the world.
"So there is a demon barrier here as well? But compared to our place, this one can obviously let more Eclipse pass through."
While feeling surprised, a hint of hesitation flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes.
As to why this situation occurred, it is obviously unknown. Perhaps the magic barrier here is not strong enough, or perhaps the "eclipse" here has found a better way to pass through, or perhaps the prompt sound was deliberately designed.
"If this is really the last possibility, why would the prompt sound do this? Then again, why would the prompt sound perform a miracle here?"
"Logically, if it favors this place, it should protect it better. Why would it allow this place to be more dangerous than the land without the favor of the gods, so that it will be eroded by the "eclipse" one after another?"
Just when Lei Xiao was full of doubts, Old Booker's voice rang out again.
"Later, although the surviving tribes stood together and strengthened their overall strength, they were still in dire straits because they lost the stone elves who fought against the Eclipse. It was not until we learned a new way to fight against the Eclipse under the guidance of God that we were able to do so."
After hearing what Old Booker said, Lei Xiao and the others couldn't help but become excited.
Is there a new way to fight against "Eclipse"? If it is feasible, it will undoubtedly be of great use to us.
However, what Old Booker said next shattered our hopes.
"That is to use the fragments of the God Stone to create God Stone weapons. Whether the fragments of the God Stone are inlaid on a long sword, a long bow, or a staff, they can also play the role of resisting the "eclipse". "
"Although this effect is far inferior to the power of the [God's Stone] itself, and it is not as restraining as before, or even a one-hit kill, it can only play a role in barely competing with the opponent under the premise of combining concentrated fire attack with the power of God's favor, but it still gives us a glimmer of hope for survival."
After saying that, Old Booker took out his staff. At the top of the staff, Lei Xiao indeed saw a piece of [God's Stone] fragment that was half the size of a fist.
"Your Excellency the City Lord, could you lend me your staff?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked the other party.
The spirits of other strong men on our side, including Jasmine, which had just been lifted, became weak again. This method is obviously difficult for us to replicate.
"of course can."
Old Booker handed over the staff without any hesitation.
After taking the staff, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately opened the attribute bar.
[Name: Radiance of Light]
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Attack Strength: Seven Stars]
[Additional Effect 1: The power of the dim stars "causes a certain amount of damage to (Eclipse)"]
[Additional Effect 2: Sharing the Power of the Stars [When used as the holder of the Chosen One, the power of the stars can be shared with a certain number of nearby targets]]
[Note: This special staff made from fragments of the God Stone can cause some damage to Eclipse.]
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and began to pretend to pace slowly in the room. In fact, he put the staff into the storage space while turning his back to Old Booker and Jasmine.
Without hesitation, start upgrading.
[Congratulations, your "Sixth-Level Weapon: Glory of Radiance" has been upgraded to "Sixth-Level Weapon: Glory of Radiance" 128! ]
After the upgrade was completed, Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and the staff appeared again instantly. Then he turned around again. Because this series of actions was smooth, the two of them did not notice it at all.
The reason why Lei Xiao did this was naturally to increase the hope of fighting against "Eclipse".
After returning the staff to Old Booker, Lei Xiao asked again: "Your Excellency, City Lord, how many special weapons like this are there in the city now?"
"To be honest with you, my lord, there are only five swords in total, including this one I have."
Old Booker sighed again and responded, "I'm sure you, the brave one, have also realized that in order for the weapon to work, it is necessary to use large pieces of the God's Stone. The small pieces I took out before are not enough to cause damage to Eclipse."
"Therefore, since the number of suitable fragments is extremely limited, and part of them were damaged in the process of fighting against the Eclipse, it is already an extremely luxurious configuration for a city to have five."
After hearing the other party's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the key next step was to quietly upgrade all these weapons.
As for whether to share a part of it with the human race here, we have to see the situation first. Once coveted by the other party, it is possible that our side with limited strength will be wiped out. There are so many strong people standing behind me, so I naturally cannot take risks.
Thinking of this, a hint of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face again.
According to Old Booker, even if there are only a few such weapons in a city, if they are gathered together, they will be a force that cannot be ignored.
Since we know that this place is about to be attacked by the "Eclipse", if we all gather here, won't our strength be much stronger than that of these so-called heroes like us?
"Your Excellency, Lord City, why don't the friendly forces from other cities come to help?"
Jasmine was obviously aware of this problem, and her fair face was full of confusion.
“That’s exactly what I’m going to talk about next.”
Old Booker's eyes were filled with helplessness, and he responded: "To be honest with you, my dear heroes, this place has been completely blocked by the Eclipse, and the teleportation arrays have all been destroyed. Although other friendly forces on the ground want to do their best to help, they are currently being held back by the Eclipse outside and are completely unable to do anything."
"Therefore, we can only avoid the fate of being destroyed if we hold on until the reinforcements arrive with the help of the brave lords. According to my guess, the reinforcements will not arrive until ten days later at the earliest."
As Old Booker finished speaking, a prompt sound suddenly rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Dear Lord Lei Xiao, welcome to participate in the 002398th "Lord Trial". The competition venue is 001621. The goal of the trial is to defend the city. If you successfully pass the trial, you can return to the original section and receive a random reward. ]
[Tip: The time flow rate here is different from the original plate you are in. The ratio is 10:1, that is, 10 days here is equal to 1 day in the original plate. ]
[Tip: According to the guidance of God, the people here will not attack you, nor will they covet any of the items you carry with you, so feel free to participate in the trial. ]
【Reminder: This trial has begun. 】
[Hint: Eclipse may attack this city in any form at any time.]
"It turns out that the reminder sound is behind this!"
Lei Xiao listened to this series of sounds, his brows furrowed even more.
Although the prompt is concise and clear, it does contain a lot of information.
From the first sentence, it can be seen that this so-called trial is very similar to the Lord's Arena.
However, this time it is a single-player mode rather than a multiplayer competition, and judging from the serial numbers, thousands of lords have already experienced it, and they should all be overlord-level lords.
Furthermore, the site number is also over a thousand. Could it be that there are more than a thousand parallel worlds like this one? Or is it that the trials of each lord are different?
Regardless, this is something unimaginable.
In addition, the most noteworthy thing is naturally the speed of time.
The ten days here are actually only equal to one day in the original section, which undoubtedly means that the reminder sound has the terrifying ability to interfere with time!
"As expected of a god, he is omnipotent. He gave me this tip so that I can participate in the trial with peace of mind without having to worry about the situation in the territory."
While sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
As for the last key point, the people here will not attack us. Obviously, the prompt has been arranged by God.
Given the piety of the people here, it is indeed impossible to disobey the prompt.
"I have to say, the prompt sound is really flawless."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this, Old Booker had already knelt on the ground and pleaded with him: "Sir Brave, although all this is just my wishful thinking, please save this city! Save the residents in the city who are in fear and despair!"
"Old city lord, please stand up quickly. Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. We are naturally obliged to do this. Since we are heroes summoned by the gods, we must naturally complete the mission of heroes."
Lei Xiao bent down to help the other person up, and nodded firmly.
Since this is a trial that must be completed, of course I have to do my best.
Moreover, the people here have been fighting against the "eclipse" for a long time and must have a lot of experience. This is also an extremely valuable learning opportunity for me who are about to deal with the catastrophe.
In addition, I can also take advantage of this time to learn more about the history and events here, and perhaps take a step closer to the truth of the blank era.
Of course, no matter which point it is, the prerequisite is that I must lead our strong men to assist the old city lord and others in defending the city, otherwise everything will come to nothing.
Beside Lei Xiao, our other strong men all had the same look, and their faces were full of determination.
Since the Lord has said so, it seems that only by defending the city can we return to our original territory.
Just when everyone had basically figured out the current situation, Old Booker's face tightened and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. (End of this chapter)
