Chapter 1202 Face to Face
After rushing into the hall, the first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was the dark red branches that were becoming increasingly thick, almost to the point of covering the sky and the sun.
These branches, which were so lush that it was difficult for several people to embrace them together, crisscrossed like a spider web, covering every corner of the hall.
And what just broke through the wall was indeed only a tiny part.
What is most shocking is that each branch is still expanding and spreading, growing at an extremely fast speed.
As far as the eye can see, there will be a scene of crazy squirming and expansion, and you can't see even a little bit deeper.
"Sir, I can feel that we are very close to our goal."
Bing Lao's solemn voice sounded, and he said to Lei Xiao seriously: "The Root and the opponent are in the deepest part of the hall!"
"Yes, I can sense it too."
Joniel nodded heavily, rubbing his hands and saying, "It's finally time to confront the mysterious being head-on."
"It's time for that guy to pay for everything."
Gray Old Man's face was also full of solemnity, and the two swords in his hands were shining.
Seeing that everyone was eager to fight, Lei Xiao refocused his attention to the front.
These dark red branches have reached an extremely dense level, squeezing and entangled with each other, obviously forming an impenetrable natural barrier.
"But how do we get there?"
Louise's fair face was full of anxiety, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Hearing this, Gray Old Man, Joniel and the others all looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had tried it just now and found that these branches were much stronger than ordinary roots. Even they couldn't cut them off. In other words, this barrier was undoubtedly insurmountable.
Jiang Xi also frowned tightly, and she could feel it clearly.
Due to the continuous accumulation of a large amount of strange energy fluctuations, the space in the front area has begun to distort.
This undoubtedly means that even teleportation cannot pass through the dark red branches and reach the depths of the hall.
"Leave it to me. After all, this forbidden tree has the characteristics of certain plants, and is also mixed with disgusting forbidden power."
Old Bing narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Then, with the purification effect of the divine power and the dispelling of the ice, it may have a miraculous effect."
After saying that, with Lei Xiao's approval, Bing Lao immediately began to use his magic power.
After a brief chant of incantation, a beam of cold ice ray instantly shot out from the magic circle unfolded in front of Old Bing, and shot straight towards the densely packed dark red branches in front.
Sure enough, just as Old Bing said, wherever the ice rays reached, those dark red branches that were originally densely packed together trembled, obviously receiving a great stimulation.
After being stiff for a few seconds, these thick dark red branches bent away like soft vines, and soon formed a path wide enough for one person to pass through.
For a moment, the road that was flashing with bloody light became hazy in the depths and continued to emit a fishy and pungent smell. It was like the bloody mouth of a devil, full of mystery and unknown, which made people stay away.
"set off!"
Looking at the deep and long passage, Lei Xiao led the team to fly into it without any hesitation.
Following the path opened by Bing Lao, the group sped along the deep passage. Wherever they passed, the dark red branches quickly returned to their original state and blocked our retreat again.
Noticing this scene, there was no fluctuation on anyone's face, and they didn't care at all. Just as Lei Xiao said, the group had no room to retreat.
As he moved forward, Lei Xiao felt his breathing becoming more rapid.
The already extremely strong fishy smell permeated the surroundings, and even with the energy shield blocking it, it was still to the point of being eye-irritating.
In addition, although these dark red branches and roots are all emitting waves of energy with strange rhythms, they greatly affect the perception ability.
But Lei Xiao could still feel that at the end of the passage, there was a powerful and majestic aura that he had never felt before, which was obviously a mysterious existence.
"Sir, we have reached the end of the passage!"
As Bing Lao's solemn voice fell, Lei Xiao and his group had already flown out of the passage, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.
The view here is wide, and the criss-crossing dark red branches only spread near the walls. Pile after pile of burnt white candles are scattered on the ground.
At the end of the space was a towering platform with stairs, upon which was a giant throne hidden in the shadows.
This is not the most eye-catching thing.
Including half of the throne, the back half of the entire towering platform has completely merged with the giant cylindrical object filled with darkness and blood.
At first glance, it looks like it is embedded in the dark red cylindrical object.
It is not difficult to tell from the thick dark red branches spreading out from the dark red cylindrical object that it is the trunk of the forbidden tree.
Due to limited space, although everyone could only see a part of the tree trunk, it could be inferred from the partial view that it was obviously extremely huge. According to Lei Xiao's estimation, the whole thing was probably at least 30 stories high.
"Your Highness, this is the deepest part of the main prayer hall!"
Lorenz's old eyes were full of surprise, and he spoke to Lei Xiao.
The scene of blood and darkness before him had obviously had a great impact on the old bishop's heart. It was very different from the sacred temple in his memory.
"Sir, the Root is behind the throne!"
Bing Lao's stern voice also reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"However, if we want to destroy the 'root', we must first kill the source of evil."
Joniel held his staff horizontally, surrounded by a visible green energy barrier, and was obviously ready to go.
After saying this, the old alchemist narrowed his eyes and stared at the large throne that was half embedded in the giant tree trunk.
I saw a human figure sitting there at an angle, emitting a dangerous and strange dark aura.
The darkness was so deep that even if our guiding light ball approached, it would soon be swallowed up by the darkness.
Although the other party was completely shrouded in shadow and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly, it was obvious from his appearance that he was the mysterious existence that once appeared above the inner city.
"You are still shamelessly sitting on the throne of the ruler of the temple."
Looking at the figure that was once so familiar, Lorenz's old eyes were full of anger, and he said sternly: "Although you have taken over everything of His Majesty, the violent aura emanating from you cannot be concealed. Who are you?!"
"Lorenz, former chief of the cardinals, guardian of the Temple of Light."
A cold and gloomy voice sounded, and the turbid dark red eyes of the mysterious being moved and fell on the skinny body of the old bishop.
The other party did not answer the old bishop's question, but joked: "Back then, I wanted to turn you into the first batch of nutrients, but the plan went too smoothly and the nutrients were endless, so I forgot about you, an old waste. Today, you can still jump in front of me."
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
Energy surged around Lorenz as he gritted his teeth and said, "How can we allow a fellow of unknown origin like you to trample on the reputation and dignity of the Holy Temple of Light?"
"You should blame your former master. It was Ganelon IX who awakened me personally!"
The mysterious being began to laugh loudly and unscrupulously, "It is precisely because of his stupidity that I was able to see the light of day again and implement this great sacred plan!"
"Stop talking to yourself there."
Lei Xiao's calm voice interrupted the other party's laughter and said lightly: "Because you will soon be reduced to ashes."
"You despicable alien, I never thought you could actually come before me."
The mysterious being cast a grim gaze on Lei Xiao, saying playfully: "But so what? You have already felt my power, right? Even though I have not yet absorbed nutrients, with the blessing of the "Blood Dark Tree", you still cannot compete with me."
After saying that, a vast and majestic energy wave suddenly surged out from the body of the mysterious existence, and instantly swept over all of us.
For a moment, the vast force of violence and murderous intent filled the heaven and earth, shaking people's hearts and making it almost impossible to stand firm.
"A sixth-level peak expert?"
Feeling this tremendous energy fluctuation, Joniel and Gray Old looked at each other in surprise.
Although both of them have entered the sixth level, they are only at the sixth level, one star, and it is impossible for them to improve even a little bit.
In other words, every time a sixth-level strongman upgrades his star, it is a huge improvement for himself, and the difference in strength between them is absolutely incomparable to other classes.
Those with strength above two stars can crush low-star people of the same class, and those with strength above three stars can even compete with two low-star people of the same class. This is a clear example.
This means that there is undoubtedly a huge difference between the peak of the sixth level and the one-star of the sixth level, which is enough to deal with four low-star powerhouses of the sixth level at the same time.
As for Old Bing, he also had a frown on his face.
Currently, his strength is at level six, two stars. Although it is one level higher than Joniel and Gray Old Man, that’s all.
In addition, after all the fighting along the way, most of the energy in our bodies has been depleted. Even with the help of various magic scrolls and potions, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time. However, the enemy is well-rested and in full condition.
With such a comparison of strength, even if he, Joniel and Gray Old Man joined forces, plus Diana, Louise and Lorenz, three half-step sixth-level powerhouses, if all of them were in their prime, they might still have a chance. But now, there is absolutely no hope of defeating the opponent.
The most important thing is that Bing Lao can feel it.
Although the other party has not yet officially absorbed nutrients, it has been connected to the so-called "Blood Dark Tree" to a certain extent, and can directly replenish energy through the latter, and is always in a state of energy full.
In other words, even if we use a rotation battle, we must never let the opponent become weak in the slightest.
Seeing that the three sixth-rank warriors all had expressions of irrepressible solemnity on their faces, our other warriors, including Lei Xiao, although unable to directly feel the gap in strength between themselves and the opponent, have already realized that this will be an arduous battle.
"You are just a bunch of ants at the end of their strength. Do you know the difference in strength between you and me?"
The mysterious existence's eerie voice sounded again, shaking everyone's ears, and sneered: "You must die today. No one can stop me from returning to my peak state!"
"Whether he is my opponent or not, we will know only after we fight him!"
Louise's eyebrows raised, and she immediately summoned a whole row of shining guiding light balls, which shot straight towards the opponent.
Louise bared her fangs and snorted, "You've been playing tricks from the beginning. Let me see your true face first!"
After saying that, the entire row of guiding light balls suddenly shone brightly and quickly enveloped the other party.
Upon seeing this, Joniel and Lorenz shot out row after row of guiding light balls to assist Louise in lighting.
The other party is already extremely powerful, and if they continue to hide in the shadows, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us.
With the joint efforts of the three, the dazzling light finally dispelled the deep darkness, revealing the true face of the mysterious existence to everyone.
On the glittering golden throne, there was a pale young man sitting lazily. Although at first glance, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a gentle young scholar.
But if you look closely, you can see that his cloudy eyes emit a deep dark red, and the corners of his mouth are grinning in a strange arc, revealing a row of white teeth, looking extremely dangerous.
Lei Xiao was not unfamiliar with the other person's appearance. It was exactly the same as Ganelon IX in the magic portrait.
However, apart from appearance, the temperament and appearance are very different. This also indirectly confirms what Xiaojie and Lorenz said, that the other party is just wearing the appearance of Ganelon IX.
The old bishop, who also saw this scene, was filled with grief and indignation, and clenched his old fists tightly.
The once wise and benevolent ruler of the temple has been completely replaced. How could he not feel sad?
After the magic ball of light dispelled the darkness around it, the face of the mysterious being suddenly became hideous, and it was obvious that it was in a state of rage.
Suddenly, a bloody black mist rose around him, and a terrifyingly cold and majestic aura spread out.
"How dare a tiny ant look directly at a god?"
With a sharp and sinister roar, the opponent rushed out and attacked us directly.
The constantly surging violence and murderous intent were enough to throw dozens of legions into chaos in an instant.
"God?!"
After hearing this extremely special word, Lei Xiao, Bing Lao and other powerful warriors on our side could not help but be filled with surprise.
At this moment, the enemy with murderous intentions was already very close to us.
