Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 34
Ryan was a bit confused when he discovered that he had been recognized.
He never thought that the giants and the young magicians who should have been held captive in the cave were still alive. They were not even injured after being hit by the Cloudkill spell, and most importantly, they even guessed his identity.
When he realized that his lie had been seen, he felt like he was standing naked in a world of ice and snow, and it was so cold that his entire body trembled.
What is the scariest thing in the world?
For Ryan who believes in secrecy and deception, that would mean his lies are completely visible.
Over the years, he had lied to many people and managed to get away with it. His lying skills made him feel safe and comfortable, as if he was wearing magical armor all over his body.
But now that he had seen, and there were no more secrets about him …
“Maybe not that bad; they might guess a little .. ”
Ryan tried to comfort himself, then he heard Gerrard sneering and shouting.
“You think you can please the God of Schemes and Evil Fraud by betraying your friends? Let me tell you, the God of Conspiracy has been defeated! ”
Hearing this, he almost fainted.
The God of Conspiracy didn't leave him? He was defeated !?
That giant giant, I know there is a God behind him, a very powerful God!
My god…
Ryan felt as if he was dead, and his soul had left his body and fallen into the abyss, to the Underworld. He's on his way to purgatory.
Right at this moment, a strong and cold voice jolted him.
“Giant Growth!”
The magician, who had been silent until now, raised his hand, and a light glimmered from the tip of his magic wand designed to help him practice spells. Instantly, Gerrard was exposed to this light.
A powerful magic energy began to work in the blink of an eye, and Gerrard grew much larger. Then the back of his head touched the top of the cave.
Bang out!
The hard stone wall was pierced by Gerrard's head, then by his entire upper body. Gerrard was now stuck on the wall like a beast in a trap.
“You think I can be easily defeated by you!” Gerrard shouted out a bolt of lightning, and a voice echoed in the cave. The enraged giant had exerted all of its terrifying strength. The rock above broke apart, as if it was about to collapse in a moment.
But it didn't collapse. The witch told Ryan to watch her, and he immediately ran forward and performed another spell.
His magic wand began to emit a black glow; the light was dim, somewhat thin and smooth like black silk. While he brandished his magic wand, the black “sutra” quickly became bigger and bigger and turned into a large circle.
The witch touched Gerrard's feet with her hands, and before Gerrard knew it, the dark circle shut itself completely inside her.
Inside the circle, there was a sheer darkness that would make one feel dizzy. Before Gerrard even realized, he exclaimed and fell deeper into it.
He felt the sheer darkness beneath him like a ravine, and he then disappeared and was devoured by the darkness.
Gerrard's screams could still be heard from the darkness, and before he made another move, the witch stopped his spell and the sheer darkness disappeared immediately along with Gerrard. If not for the falling debris, no one would have believed that a giant named Gerrard ever existed.
Previously, when the witch practiced the mantra “Giant” Growth, Palin felt that something was wrong. He intends to stop the witch, but she is stopped by Ryan. Facing highly experienced bandits, the young witch of low rank had only managed to escape from killing, and she still suffered greatly during that process. He barely holds it now.
At that time, he could do nothing but watch the magician practice “Shadow Conjuration” and open the portal to the shadows.
The next moment, the portal closed, and Gerrard who was still in the shadows could not return anymore.
Palin was anxious and angry, but she could do nothing. Right at this moment, he heard a voice coming from his heart.
“I'll lend you my powers. Don't be merciful, give a good punch! ”
Palin felt an extremely powerful energy burst from his body.
The young witch brandished her wooden staff, and even though it was just an ordinary stick, it tore through the air.
Crack down!
Ryan's bones are broken. Due to the excruciating pain, he could not even make a sound and fainted.
With just one strike, Palin managed to knock Ryan unconscious. He did not show his happiness or astonishment, but he hurriedly ran towards the witch.
He knew that his spell was impossible to defeat the witch, so he did not cast any spells but directly destroyed the witch with a wooden stick.
The wooden stick hit the witch heavily, and activated the Protection spell she had refined herself. The gray white light instantly covered the entire body of the witch and became similar to a stone. At the same time, the witch's body began to fade, as if the air around her had been twisted.
Thumped.
The wooden stick hit the stone wall and broke the stone, and got back up and fell into a corner.
Palin was not surprised by this, an experienced magician would definitely practice as many protection spells as possible on himself. For example, some advanced magicians he knew would even practice transportation spells on themselves, so they could be transported and escape if they were to be severely attacked.
“First salvation” is the motto of the lives of many witches, because managing escape means there is still tomorrow for them. One cannot do anything if he dies.
So there is a saying in this world: the most difficult creature to kill is not the mighty great dragon or the immortal Davy Jones, but an advanced witch with a well-functioning brain.
The wooden stick thrown by Palin had an extremely powerful momentum, but he had not expected it to cause any damage to the witch from the start.
What he expected was that the wooden stick would only cause trouble for the witch.
Although the momentum was largely offset by the protection spell, the little momentum left made the witch feel like she had been hit by a cow. Now he could not stand steadily and staggered a few steps.
Right at this moment, Palin rushed over and stopped in front of him like a tiger running down a hill. Palin grabbed towards the witch, and a cold air began to rise from her right hand.
The figure of the witch, which was not as clear as a wave of water, was pierced by Palin's hand which was covered by cold air. There was the sound of glass breaking, and the faint figure of the witch became clear again. Palin adjusted the direction of her right hand and smashed the gray white stone skin and grasped the witch's neck.
A thick cold air spread into the witch's body from Palin's hands. Since the witch had lost the protection of her spell, she could not resist anymore and fainted from the extreme cold. Palin then raised it as if she was carrying luggage.
The short but intense battle was finally over. From the moment the witch practiced her spell in full force to the moment the witch and Ryan were defeated, only a few seconds had passed.
Palin threw the unconscious witch to the ground and spread cold magic power in her hands.
Just now, I did not cast a spell or practice any spells, but I managed to practice powerful magic that only middle-class magicians could. My right hand even destroyed two protection spells, and the rest of the energy could still make the magician faint from the extreme cold. I could never practice such a powerful spell when I had only learned to practice a spell for less than two years.
He thought for a while, and tried to talk to Sui Xiong via telepathy, “Your Majesty, did you give me strength?”
After a few seconds, a weak voice came from a distance.
“Ya ... Palin, you won? Good ... I'm looking for Gerrard. I'll leave you to take care of this .. ”
Palin lowered her head and showed her respect for the Great God. He did not raise his head to look around until his voice disappeared.
His Majesty went to rescue Gerrard who was trapped in the shadow plane, and he asked me to take care of everything here. I have to try my best so I don't disappoint him!
“OK .. Let me deal with the witch, my predecessor. Compared to the bandits who believed in the God of Conspiracy, I think he would be more willing to talk to me who walked the path of knowledge like him. ”
The cave was suddenly filled with cold air. Then a swirling blue light appeared in the air accompanied by the sound of cracks. There were many small electric lights moving in the air like nimble fish swimming.
A few seconds later, the blue light grew bigger and turned into a halo. Then Gerrard, who was covered in dust, came out in confusion while brandishing his axe that was tainted with black blood. He coughed severely, but after a while, he finally managed to reunite himself.
“Looks like your trip on a shadow plane is not fun.” Palin had been waiting for him for a long time.
“Eh-hem .. yes, it sucks!” Gerrard smiled bitterly. “I want to apologize for my conduct in battle. My abilities have declined since the last few years so comfortably, and I shouldn't have made that mistake. ”
“I'm so glad you two are still fine,” Sui Xiong's laughter echoed in the air. “As for how to deal with Ryan and the witch, I'll leave that to you. I need to rest. ”
Then the sound faded.
In the sky, there was a huge floating jellyfish using its tentacles to pick up stones and fix itself to the top of the mountain. The energetic magic power flowing within his body gradually became lighter.
This time, Sui Xiong was completely exhausted.
