Demons are indispensable enemies or supporting characters in various fantasy works and video games. Of course, when Lin was on Earth, he had to deal with these guys a lot. In video games...
However, in Lost Land, what attitude should we adopt to face this kind of creature from the abyss?
You can never be too cautious!
This kind of experience talk contains Lin's blood and tears. Looking back on the past, I still remember that when I went out on an adventure for the first time as an apprentice to earn a meager reward, the opponent I chose was a novice monster on the street-goblin. That time, he almost came back dead, leaving the time travelers wondering whether they should go back to the eighteenth level of hell in their hometown or die here in the underworld.
The cunning of uncivilized races is not inferior to that of their civilized relatives or humans. And goblins are not a case of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. Even if they are herbivorous 'Warcraft' - they are serious beasts that can cast magic; instead of beasts that can only howl - it really makes someone who is being played by the video game The brainwashed guy drank a pot. Those who eat grass must be easy to bully.
It was also from that moment on that Lin realized deeply that this was a real world. And he is not LV99. He is a brave man who is dressed in divine clothing and chops the devil like vegetables. From that moment on, Lin no longer dared to be impulsive when venturing out. He was always cautious and cautious. He would rather choose the task of bullying the weak than kick the iron plate and lose arms and legs.
Now that the goblins are in such trouble, what about the demons? The answer to this question is self-evident.
Secondly, this demon still has quite a bit of reference. At least, it has revealed the mystery of the unknown data detected in the past few days.
Lin didn't understand the unusual fluctuations detected in the forest outside the tower more than a year ago. Went to the scene to investigate and found nothing suspicious, so we left it alone. Until today, the demon that I had seen for the first time in my life appeared in front of me, so routine testing was of course indispensable. After fuzzy comparison of the obtained data, the answer Lin was least willing to see was obtained.
What does this mean? Lin judged that this represented the emergence of the devil, not by nature or chance, but by a man-made disaster. Because of the time it happened, it had been a long time since the original six-star strange event; on the contrary, the village outside the tower began to gather countless people of unknown origins.
And where it happened, people arrived sneakily every night and walked around for a while before leaving. Now that I think about it, maybe they are performing some kind of ritual. No, it seems obvious now that the ritual is to summon the abyss.
Since he is an uninvited guest, there is no need to worry. Lin directly added the creatures with the same characteristics to the highest level of the blacklist under the surveillance system, which means they will be killed on sight. At the same time, the observation parameters of the Arcane Eye are modified so that it can understand and see creatures from the abyss.
The next moment the setting was completed, the Arcane Eye took shape on the top of the tower. The big eyes formed by the firelight looked around, and there were several light spots marked on the surveillance screen in the core room. Immediately, the light bullets formed a cluster and struck towards the marked location. After a few breaths, the attack stopped.
Adjust the screen that the Arcane Eye can observe, and display several strike locations at the same time. Sure enough, those who died under the attack were weird alien creatures. What they have in common is their dark red skin color, which looks like flowing lava, and the blood that corrodes the surroundings.
Light bombs, an attack form of pure energy, seemed to have a bonus effect on these abyssal creatures. This is inferred from the fact that their glowing wounds are constantly being eroded and enlarged.
However, the same attack has no effect at all on the place that may be the gap connecting the abyss world. Lin tried firing a few bullets at the place, but except for destroying the surrounding trees, the aura of power from the abyss did not change at all. On the contrary, during observation, the power of the light bomb suddenly weakened after entering the realm, as if it was being repelled.
Activate the Boka Moshaw Giant Palm Technique used by the tower to pull the demon's body back. At the same time, the arcane eye is activated and combined with the three-dimensional imaging technology in the tower, a new function is formed. It is a type of augmented reality that reproduces everything at the target location in the core room, allowing people to experience it personally. feelings of environment.
However, the effect does not seem to be very good, targeting this location that is suspected of being a space gap. If it is targeted at other places, this set of augmented reality functions can be completely reproduced in every detail, including flying insects, wind blowing leaves, etc. However, the spatial fluctuations in the two worlds that interfere with each other seem to affect the observation results of the Arcane Eye, so the changed core indoor scene has interfering noises from time to time. Just like an old picture tube type TV, the noisy picture composed of gray and white lines and noise appears from time to time.
But it would at least allow Lin to see some of the scene. Continuously switching between several observation modes, he finally saw the magic arrays arranged around him in the power-based magical psychic vision. The flow of mana and power revealed the hidden magic circle. It may confuse human vision, but it cannot hide the flow of energy.
Various magic arrays and runes are not only arranged on the ground, but the surrounding trees and stones have corresponding magic lines that work together to form a whole. The source of energy generation is several objects buried in the soil. Judging from the form of magic aura emanating from it, it should be polished magic stone.
It was impossible to tell where the space gap occurred. The aura of power from the abyss seemed to appear out of thin air, and its concentration continued to deepen. If we judge based on the densest point, or a location where the rising speed is significantly higher than other locations, then it can be said that there are gaps everywhere in this space. To use a visual explanation, it is like a cracked egg shell. The shape of the egg is still intact, but it is full of cracks.
In addition, a weak source of abyssal aura was observed, buried deep underground. After filtering several waves of solid objects, I saw an object resembling the outline of an arm on the ground. Unlike an ordinary human arm, it has four distinct fingers, sharp as claws and as withered as wood.
Is this the thing that opened the gap in the abyss? Or is this just an introduction, used to attract the attention of that world. To restore it to its original visual scene, Lin tried to observe it from all angles.
While he was thinking, three women, two young and one young, walked in. They were all amazed by the scene inside the core room. Although a few tables and chairs and the silver mirror-like energy pool in the center are still there, suspended in mid-air, and the large and small water mirror screens are still there, the surroundings have turned into what they look like in the woods.
The color, luster, and the way the branches and leaves sway in the wind are all so real. This made the two girls curious and wanted to reach out and touch them. Only then did they realize that these were just phantoms. An odorless, soundless phantom.
Fen asked directly, "How do you make this place look like the outside?"
"A use of three-dimensional imaging. Use arcane eyes to observe the outside world and copy it."
"Oh, that's right. Then where is this place?"
"It should be the place where the demon appeared. From observation, this place is filled with an aura of power similar to that of the demon. It is also a place where previous records show that people sneak around here in the middle of the night."
"Oh, it's the prototype of the Gate of the Abyss. It's just that you are too lazy to even go out and take a look in person. If you keep designing such convenient things, you will become more and more lazy."
The advancement of science and technology is just to turn human beings into useless creatures...! No, it’s so that humans can enjoy life better. You, a lich from a thousand years ago, would not understand this. But from this tone, something doesn't feel right. Lin asked: "Do you know that location?"
"I know. The obvious smell of the abyss comes from there, it's not like my nose is broken."
"You know why you didn't say anything?" Lin raised her voice hysterically. But the former Demon King said indifferently: "After all, I was already there before I was resurrected. I thought you already knew it, but you probably didn't care because you didn't do anything. And it's not a big deal. It’s just a matter of opening the gate of the abyss or something. If it does, I can go over and get some souvenirs back, which is much more convenient than opening the gate myself.”
How should I put it? The heights we are at are different, so we see different things. Lin held his head weakly and said, "I didn't even know it was the Gate of the Abyss before."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Sister, how are you doing? I'm very hurt.
However, when he thought of the other party's past identity and profound knowledge of magic, Lin regained hope and asked quickly: "Then do you know the solution? It is to close that ghost door so that it can never be opened again. method."
"It's too late. The Gate of the Abyss has developed to this extent. It is only a matter of time before it is completely opened. It is impossible to close it again at this stage."
With a desperate answer, Lin slumped back on his chair helplessly. On the contrary, the two young apprentices also noticed the seriousness of the situation. Kaya just frowned, but Halumi asked worriedly: "Why can't it be closed? The gate of the abyss."
"Well, let me give you an analogy. It's like a siege in a war. If the city gates and walls remain intact, the attacking side will have to pay several times the casualties of the defending side in order to be able to break the city. And enter. At this point in time, the side defending the city has an advantage."
While explaining, Fen walked to the real scene at the center of the Gate of the Abyss. Drawing with his fingers out of thin air, leaving a trail of magical energy, is the whiteboard technique invented by Lin. The traces drawn are exactly the magic circle that summons the abyss. Just like before, when Lin turned on his magical psychic vision and observed the flow of energy, it was exactly the same as the actual magic circle deployed there.
Finbian said: "If a hole has been opened in the city gate, the defense is no longer complete. The defending party will have to pay ten times or even a hundred times the price to defeat the enemy. Because usually, one must prepare to attack the city After the war, the city gate can only give up. As for why this is the case, let me say this. When you see a small crack in the heavy city gate, you try desperately to close it; but the people on the other end Why are you trying desperately to open the door?"
