In the dark and boundless space, a giant with blue skin and pigtails sat cross-legged on the ground, arms folded, eyes closed, meditating.
The miracle lamp lay flat beside him, without any light or energy flowing, just like an ordinary oil lamp.
Caesar didn't care. He had the power of the djinn and the djinn's artifact at the same time. Now, he could be said to have completely replaced the power of the djinn before.
However, Caesar was still not satisfied, because he had experienced the wonderful feeling of possessing the power of order. No one knew better than him how powerful the God of Order was. The gap between the God of Djinn and the God of Order is not just a tiny bit.
As long as there is a chance, of course he still hopes to use the power of the Djinn God as a springboard to obtain the inheritance of the God of Order in the future. To do this, he must first control the Magic Pen of Order in his hands again.
He had no experience before and let the Pen of Order slip away, but after acquiring it this time, he would no longer be careless and would definitely control the Pen of Order firmly.
As for the weapon spirit of the Pen of Order... to him who has mastered the power of a god, it is nothing at all. No matter how powerful it is, it is just an artifact after all. As long as he gets it, he can tame it sooner or later.
Caesar sat still and waited patiently.
There is no way around it, the tester selected by the magic pen this time is not him, and his current divine power is not enough to break through the order barrier that the magic pen has spent thousands of years building in a short time.
His initial plan was just to mislead the trialist and lead him astray first. As long as the trial ended in failure, he would have enough time to break the barrier of order and get the pen of order sooner or later.
But he didn't expect that the guy's willpower exceeded his imagination. Not only did he not go crazy, but he used the flow of time here to successfully master the laws of order...
This gave Caesar a slight sense of urgency, but that was all. There would be opportunities next.
Caesar closed his eyes and waited patiently, until at a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked fiercely at the space in front of him that began to roll like waves. He knew that the opportunity had come!
This change obviously means that the person has already begun to break the order barrier at his level. If he wants to break the barrier, he must be released first. Then all the efforts of the other party will be just for him. Just making a wedding dress.
Caesar sneered, stood up from the ground, and rolled forward eagerly in the space in front of him.
After walking about a few hundred meters, the fluctuations in the surrounding space order became stronger and stronger, like violent waves in a storm, and among the layers of waves, a semi-closed door vaguely appeared in front.
Caesar's eyes lit up, there was no mistake, that was the exit of the barrier!
As long as you go out from here, you can escape from the barrier of order and enter the real lighthouse.
Caesar couldn't wait any longer, rushed to the door quickly, pushed it open, and was about to step out.
However……
His footsteps froze when he opened the door.
What is outside the door at this moment is not the imaginary environment inside the tower, but a splendid palace, and a few meters in front of the door stands a huge Sphinx!
Caesar naturally recognized what it was: it was a sculpture of a manticore, and it was also a nightmare that had haunted him day and night for thousands of years!
What frightened him even more was that the lying manticore stone sculpture suddenly opened its eyes and looked directly at him. At the same time, a crooked smile appeared at the corner of its mouth.
This horrifying expression, like a smiling cat, made Caesar's scalp numb and the hairs on his back stood up.
It wasn't over yet. Then, the manticore stone sculpture opened its mouth again and let out a string of breathtaking laughter: "Jie Jie Jie, you fell into the trap, Caesar! I told you before that I would come back for revenge... …”
"Fell into a trap?"
Caesar's eyes widened and he quickly realized a terrifying possibility.
Could it be that today's incident was a conspiracy designed by the Djinn God from beginning to end, just to trick him into coming here and let the Manticore use the power of the Pen of Order to eliminate him?
"...And now, it's time for the curse to come true! Die obediently under my cat's claws..." The smiling cat's penetrating laughter continued.
Caesar's whole body was trembling, his mind was racing, and his reason was telling him that this was impossible! Even if Manticore has a way to use the magic pen, the power of the magic pen alone is not enough to kill him now.
More likely, this guy is bluffing!
Yes, it must be the illusion created by the trialer using the Law of Order, trying to force him back and seal it again!
Caesar instantly realized this more likely truth.
However, Caesar was still shaken when he saw the manticore in front of him with a crooked mouth and a sneer, raising his huge cat claw and slapping him straight down.
Having had countless nightmares about manticores for thousands of years, his fear of manticores has penetrated deep into his bones. At this time, Caesar subconsciously hid behind him and retreated into the darkness behind the door.
"boom!"
The next moment, the huge cat claws fell to the ground, creating a deep crater on the ground.
"Hide? Haha, where can you hide?"
The manticore sneered and suddenly stood up, changing into an upright form similar to a human.
This weird scene frightened Caesar so much that he subconsciously took a few steps back, only to find that he still seemed to be staying in the same place, and the distance between him and the manticore was not widened at all.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, it's useless. You have entered my 'world'. In the next ten seconds, you will not be able to escape my attack range!"
The manticore stood upright, looked down at Caesar, slowly raised his right paw, stretched out one of his claws, pressed it against his temple, and then started drilling like an electric drill.
For a moment, blood splattered out, making the cat's head look ferocious and terrifying.
"This feeling of hunting enemies really makes me so high! Hahahaha...woo!"
The next moment, the manticore rushed towards Caesar with a fervent grin.
Caesar's eyes suddenly opened. This strange scene and perverted laughter finally broke his defense completely. Caesar could no longer care about the magic pen and hurriedly rolled and crawled back.
However, the Manticore's wild laughter stopped abruptly at this moment.
Probably because he was too caught up in the drama, as soon as Coke took a step forward, he tripped over the negligibly low doorframe in front of the door and fell down.
And with this fall, the illusion created by Coke was like a card, briefly distorted, and the original shape under the illusion was instantly exposed.
Seeing the huge and ferocious manticore, which suddenly turned into a dwarf the size of his toes, Caesar froze on the spot and was stunned for half a second before he reacted.
Fake! This guy is not a manticore at all!
At the same time, the surrounding illusions were also eliminated.
Caesar turned his head and looked, only to realize that he had actually stepped into the real lighthouse. However, the order barrier in front was rapidly forming and closing, trying to swallow him alone.
"Asshole!"
Caesar's eyes widened and he became furious. He jumped up and rushed toward the door in front of him at full speed.
"Meow! Mu You, please save me!"
The one who was more frightened at this time was Coke. The moment he fell, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that his secret must have been exposed, and that he would be facing a crazy counterattack next.
Cola jumped back into the rear gate at the fastest speed in his life, and looked back at the blue giant who was charging toward him fiercely, with cat hair all over his body exploding.
Cola has no doubt that once the opponent breaks through, he will definitely tear it alive!
At this moment, it can only pray that Mu You can be faster, otherwise it will die.
Fortunately, the barrier closed faster, and the turbulent runes of order on both sides swept past like waves. Before Caesar rushed to the door, they collided with each other, and they fit tightly together, forming an unbreakable wall that blocked the opponent. Isolated on the other side.
Looking at the giant disappearing in front of him, Cola breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death!"
"Good job Coke! Go back and add chicken drumsticks for you!" Mu You praised it without hesitation, and then began to work harder to break the upper barrier.
…
On the other side, Caesar rushed past at full speed, but hit the wall of order and was bounced back.
"No!"
Looking at the door that had completely disappeared in front of him, Caesar roared unwillingly.
Seeing the barrier closing again, he was now shielded alone in the Order Barrier. No matter how the other party restored the lighthouse, he would never be able to reach the real lighthouse again.
In other words, now he has lost his last chance and is destined to miss the magic pen!
After regaining consciousness, Caesar knew that he had lost the hope of obtaining the magic pen, so he did not waste any more time. He immediately activated his divine power and turned into a blue light, disappearing into the darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, his true body had appeared outside the lighthouse.
Looking up, he saw that very little of the divine barrier above his head had been demolished by his army. The entire oasis land was completely exposed in the desert, blending in with the yellow sand in the sky.
"Legion of Death, listen to my orders!"
Caesar raised his arms high, and his voice spread like rolling thunder throughout the entire divine realm, and also clearly reached the ears of the 100,000-strong army led by Evans outside.
At the edge of the divine realm, the countless undead troops stopped their movements and turned uniformly in the direction of Caesar, waiting for his orders.
"Charge and crush every living thing you see!" Caesar's voice echoed in the sky.
Following his voice, all the undead suddenly turned to the outside of the divine realm, raised their swords and shields, lined up neatly, and mechanically began to advance outward.
"Tap tap tap..."
The extremely orderly footsteps of the millions of troops caused resonance in the nearby desert. Every step made the ground tremble, and the pressure was extremely shocking.
At this time, behind the sand dunes in the distance.
One hundred thousand infantrymen of the Adromar Empire also emerged from behind the sand dunes and formed a long defense line along this narrow sand dune highland.
"Did you still fail..."
Looking at the undead army starting to move in front, Evans, the leader of the team, sighed silently.
He did not place all his hopes on the Ghost Captain. He was already prepared to fight to the death and be shrouded in horse leather. But at this moment, he saw Caesar leaving the lighthouse first, which meant that the Ghost Captain's action failed, which was still somewhat disappointing. He was disappointed.
Shaking his head, Evans quickly regained his composure and turned to look at the surrounding soldiers.
Facing the black mass in front of the Death Army with almost no end in sight, it is impossible to say that there is no fear at all. One hundred thousand versus one million, and it is extremely difficult to kill the undead souls completely, regardless of their number or combat power. The gap is so huge that this is almost a losing battle.
At this moment, many soldiers were subconsciously sweating on their foreheads, and the palms holding their weapons began to tremble.
But even if they were afraid, no one chose to retreat at this moment, and all the soldiers firmly stood on their defense line.
"Everyone, listen up. When you have only one year of life left in the war, you can use the teleportation mark to return to the military camp. You will not be counted as a deserter. After receiving military pay, you can quit the military at any time and return to your hometown." Evans said calmly. , the sound accurately reached the ears of all the surrounding soldiers.
He was ready to die here, but he did not intend to let his soldiers follow him and die here in vain, so he gave them a way out in advance... although he knew that most of the soldiers would not escape like this. That’s it.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they looked at Evans in surprise and looked at each other.
"Live and die with the desert!"
After a while, I don’t know who shouted this first.
"Live and die with the desert!"
"Live and die with the desert!"
"Never let any undead pass by unless they step on our corpses!"
…
More and more soldiers followed, shouting and shouting. The confusion in everyone's eyes disappeared, and they all looked at death.
Looking at this scene, Evans shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He raised his head and looked at the dark undead army in front of him. He took a deep breath and raised the broad sword in his hand.
"Army attack!"
At the command, all the Adromar soldiers shouted "kill", jumped off the sand dune, and began to charge.
At the same time, the undead army on the opposite side also immediately felt the presence of a large number of living people in front of them, as well as the murderous intent soaring into the sky, and naturally regarded them as the first target of attack.
The sound of the war horn suddenly sounded over the desert, and the undead army also accelerated instantly with the sound of the horn. They raised their swords and shields one by one, like an exaggerated black tide, sweeping towards the soldiers.
A moment later, the two armies collided like an overwhelming force in the center.
For a time, long swords and scimitars flew clanging, spears and shields roared and collided, dense rain of arrows covered the sky like locusts passing through, and dull shouts of killing and short roars resounded over the desert.
Evans rushed into the undead formation like a human meat grinder, slashing down with his broad sword, bringing up large pieces of broken bones and skeletons.
His sword is a holy light weapon, and coupled with his outstanding strength, he can easily kill an undead with every sword hit.
But this does not mean that other ordinary soldiers can be as powerful as him. On the contrary, most soldiers have only a thin power of holy light in their weapons. Even if they hit the undead, they cannot completely kill them. At the same time, because the undead have no pain at all, Even if the body is cut to pieces, it can still continue to fight unless it is crushed to a certain extent or completely transcended by light magic.
This natural gap in combat power cannot be filled by perseverance and morale alone.
As a result, not long after the armies of the two sides collided, the Azromar soldiers fell into a bitter battle.
In the oasis, Caesar looked at the stubbornly resisting human armies outside and sneered, not even bothering to pay attention.
There were only 100,000 people. They were just serving food in front of his undead army. He didn't even have the desire to take action.
Moreover, he has more important things to do now.
Caesar looked back at the lighthouse in front of him.
Now that the trialist has mastered the Law of Order, if the opponent gets the magic pen again, he will indeed be able to use the magic pen to threaten him.
"No one can get what I can't get!"
Caesar snorted coldly, and his expression became ferocious. He suddenly held the magic lamp with both hands, raised it high, and activated the divine power in his body.
Following his movements, a flame suddenly ignited at the top of the magic lamp. At the same time, the entire lighthouse roared, and the ground below seemed to turn into a swamp, and the lighthouse began to slowly sink underground.
He couldn't destroy the lighthouse, but he could seal it underground.
He didn't do this before because he still had ideas about the magic pen. Now that he has confirmed that he can't get the magic pen, there is no need to be soft-hearted and directly sink the lighthouse and the magic pen into the abyss of the ground!
In this way, even if the Magic Brush cannot be destroyed, it can at least significantly delay the birth of the Magic Brush, giving him enough time to increase his divine power until he obtains a power that can compete with the Pen of Order.
Just when Caesar raised his arms high, the lighthouse fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly a huge roar sounded from behind.
The manticore touched Caesar's back at some point, spread its wings, leaped high, and flew towards Caesar.
"you again!"
Caesar saw the familiar figure of the manticore from the corner of his eye, and he was immediately furious. The hatred he had been teased with before was instantly detonated at this moment.
Caesar temporarily gave up the action of raising the light, and the falling speed of the lighthouse dropped sharply.
At the same time, the giant waved his fist mercilessly and hit the back: "It's just a beast, you really think I'm afraid of you!"
"Woo!"
This punch accurately hit the manticore's abdomen, causing the manticore to scream and fly far away.
And with this punch, Caesar suddenly felt that the inner demon that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time was quietly broken.
His 'cat phobia' completely disappeared at this moment!
Caesar let out a long roar of relief, letting out the pent-up energy he had been feeling for thousands of years.
As a result, before he could finish venting, there was another rumbling vibration under his feet, and then a bone dragon broke out of the ground and wrapped around Caesar like a spiritual snake. The dragon's head quickly moved to the back of Caesar's head and moved towards the giant's head. He bit the back of the neck, and a large mouthful of poisonous mist was forcefully injected into the body of the giant phantom.
The skin around the back of the giant's neck suddenly felt like it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, corroding inwardly and sending out large sheets of white smoke.
Caesar cried out in pain, hurriedly stretched out his hands, grabbed the bone dragon's body, used his arms to forcefully tore it off his body, and smashed it toward the ground like a whip.
"Snapped!"
The bone dragon was pulled to the ground, and large cracks suddenly appeared on the white bones on its body. It struggled violently under the pain.
Caesar sneered and didn't care. He raised his right arm again and smashed it down, preparing to smash the 'snake' completely first.
However, just before he struck the blow, another sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
A huge scythe blade roared towards him. Caesar subconsciously stretched out his right arm to block it. Then his whole body was thrown away by the huge force and crashed into the jungle beside him.
Caesar jumped up in a hurry, only to find that another giant had appeared in front of him at some point: a phantom skeleton holding a sickle.
At the same time, the manticore that had just been knocked out also roared and joined the battlefield again.
Facing three behemoths at the same time, Caesar finally showed a solemn expression.
…
"Meow! Muyou, what's going on this time?"
In the lighthouse, Coke, who had just scared Caesar off, had not had time to calm down when he suddenly felt the ground shaking violently from left to right, and began to slowly fall downwards.
"That guy seems to be desperate and ready to destroy the lighthouse..." Mu You's voice came.
"Destroy the tower? Are you kidding? What should we do?" Cola panicked upon hearing this.
"You have to hurry up..."
"What speed?" Coke asked quickly.
"Next, I need to try my best to break the barrier, and I also need time to recover my body. I'm afraid I won't have time to deal with things in the tower... So, next, I need you to help me go to the top floor, cooperate with the Pocket Toad to find the Pen of Order, and then bring it with me Go to the top of the tower with the magic pen, and I can take you out of the lighthouse!"
