"Illusion! This is actually an illusion!!"
An exclamation sounded in Girlingat's head, it was Yohad's rough and thick voice.
Everyone looked ahead with incredulous eyes.
In front of them, there was no barrier, no tower of paradise. Everything they saw just now was just an illusion.
"What...is going on...where is the tower there? Without the Tower of Paradise, how are we going to get to the Kingdom of God...?"
The look of surprise on Arcatus's face slowly disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sadness.
Zhang Xiaoman slowly retracted his fingers. At this time, there was no sign of darkness on his right hand. The area that had been burned by the yellow barrier had returned to an intact state.
No, to be more precise, the anxiety just now was just an illusion. His right hand was not injured from the beginning to the end.
"This is an illusion, well... it's a magical barrier that mainly confuses people's senses. The Paradise Tower and those protective circles we see are just illusions constructed by it."
Zhang Xiaoman opened his mouth to explain to everyone.
"I felt something was wrong from the beginning. It is almost impossible to maintain such a huge defensive formation for so many years without being exhausted..."
"But if it is only set up as an illusion to deceive the visual senses, then everything makes sense. The consumption of the illusion is much lower than that of a real defensive circle."
"You only need to use the illusion to create an appearance that cannot be shaken, and then use it with another set of attacks to counter the barrier, then you can make those who want to break through the difficulty retreat. Haha, it is a good calculation. "
Zhang Xiaoman then briefly told them what the illusion was. This thing did not exist in the magic system of this world, and it was the first time for McCarvey and others to see it.
As he explained, everyone gradually understood that this illusion was not the kind of spiritual attack they had imagined at the beginning.
The premise of spiritual attack is to interfere with the target through spiritual spells. For example, the simplest spiritual shock spell is also very common in the magic system of Irene continent.
Some more powerful mental attacks, such as mind control, which can temporarily control the enemy's mind, have also been recorded in some lost ancient magic books.
Even like the Black Goat and Scarlet Sun that Zhang Xiaoman encountered previously in the first universe, those two monsters that can mutate living things through mental pollution are essentially a type of mental attack.
But fantasy is different.
Although it creates a fantasy to confuse others, this fantasy can only be regarded as a covering of the five senses on the physical level and does not rise to the spiritual level.
Just like the most commonly seen things like TV, neon lights, and VR glasses, the pictures and projections played here cannot be said to be spiritual attacks, but they do have a similar principle to illusions, except that The latter are far superior to them.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoman, who was immune to mental attacks, was not able to realize at the first time that he and others had unknowingly been in such an illusion.
After he finished his explanation, everyone was stunned for a while.
"I see. When I asked why this barrier is so strong, it turned out to be a lie!"
The dwarf king Johad yelled and cursed.
"These damn false gods! I didn't expect that all of them are such insidious and cunning things! They really don't deserve to be strong!"
Regina looked worried and said:
"But if the Tower of Paradise doesn't exist, how do we go up there?"
Everyone also reacted at this time.
Yes, if the Tower of Paradise did not exist, then wouldn't my and others' original plan to visit the Kingdom of God have failed?
Zhang Xiaoman pointed forward and signaled them not to worry.
"Although the Tower of Paradise is fake, the road to the Kingdom of God has not been cut off. Come with me, I can sense that it is just ahead."
As he spoke, he let three giant frost dragons carry him and others flying forward.
Although the injury on his right hand was caused by fantasy and was not actually injured, Zhang Xiaoman knew that the stinging pain on his left hand where he was struck by lightning was real and there was no misleading from the five senses. .
Moreover, when the yellow lightning strikes, the powerful energy fluctuation cannot be concealed. Coupled with the observation of the Eye of Truth, he can be sure that there must be a real "Tower of Paradise" ahead. .
Sure enough, as everyone flew tens of kilometers further west, as the clouds faded, an unimaginably huge mountain peak appeared in front of them.
"So it's here. Haha, the Eye of Truth is right. It seems that this thing is the mountain I'm looking for."
Zhang Xiaoman understood it the first time he saw it. The previous Tower of Paradise was just an illusion, and the peak that truly led to the Kingdom of God was behind the hidden illusion.
This is a giant mountain covered with white snow. Even though everyone is thousands of meters high in the sky, they still cannot get a full view of it.
Looking up, you can see the endless mountain; at your feet, you can see the abyss leading to the endless black mist.
The height of this mountain reaches more than 40,000 meters, which is several times higher than the highest Mount Everest on Aquamarine. Its sheer size is simply unimaginable.
The three giant frost dragons in front of it were as small as three sesame seeds.
Zhang Xiaoman knows that as long as he and others climb the mountain in front of him, they should be able to successfully break through the shackles of the barrier on this world, and then ascend to the so-called Kingdom of Gods and see with their own eyes the "gods" who have kept the entire continent captive. What exactly is it like.
"Be careful. The lightning that just attacked us should have come from here. Everyone be alert!"
Zhang Xiaoman reminded him loudly.
Not long after he finished speaking, strange yellow arcs of electricity suddenly condensed in front of the mountain in front of him, and then there was a sound of thunder, and an attack containing powerful power was shot towards everyone.
"It turns out you were the one doing the sneak attack!"
Zhang Xiaoman rushed forward in the face of the thunder and lightning, raised his fist and scattered the lightning. Immediately, he rushed towards the mountain with undiminished momentum, breaking through the attack barrier of the blocker in front of him in one breath. Everyone followed and fell into the snowdrifts of the mountain.
"Boom!"
Following his impact, a large avalanche broke out on the mountain. The three giant frost dragons quickly distanced themselves for fear of being affected by this unprecedented large avalanche.
"Ji Xing...isn't he a mage...?"
Except for the two former black dragon brothers among the crowd, this was the first time for others to see the fighting style displayed by Zhang Xiaoman, and they couldn't believe their eyes for a while.
"He surprised us too much... But compared to this, does the avalanche there really don't matter? Is he in danger from Jiexing...?"
Akatus first sighed with emotion, and then pointed at the super avalanche happening in the distance, bringing everyone back to reality.
"Don't worry, that guy is fine. This avalanche won't kill him."
Alculus spoke.
It and the other two frost dragons were able to sense Zhang Xiaoman's state through the mental fluctuations of the undead spell. As it said, although the avalanche looked fierce, to Zhang Xiaoman, it was no different from scratching an itch.
After all, he didn't need to fight the entire avalanche with his own strength. He just had to dig into the ground and protect himself with the power of the shield.
Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the avalanche gradually stopped, and Zhang Xiaoman's figure followed through the snow and stood in front of everyone again.
"Everyone, come in. I have destroyed the barrier. Now we just need to go up through this mountain range."
The three giant frost dragons landed on the snow-capped mountains one after another under his guidance, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Maintaining a flying posture at this altitude, even with the power of these frost dragons, they cannot last long. They have long wanted to land faster.
"This place is actually not bad. I mean, compared to the Tower of Paradise just now, at least it is much easier to climb."
Yohad stood on the mountain peak and jumped up, and said sincerely.
The others also nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, the Paradise Tower just now was basically a tall tower that went straight upward. Compared with the current mountain with slopes, of course the latter is more conducive to climbing.
"Stop talking nonsense, stupid dwarf, hurry up, we have to hurry up."
Alculus sprayed frost on him angrily, then pinched his collar with his claws and threw it on Girlingat's head.
If we want to talk about efficiency when climbing mountains, we still have to leave it to the three giant frost dragons. After all, their size is here.
"Damn Alculus! Don't do anything casually! If it weren't for the fact that you are the summoned beast of the pole star, I would have punched you long ago!!"
Yohad was pinched by it on Jilingote's head, and suddenly felt a little helpless, and started dancing and shouting.
"Elculus! If you want him to leave quickly next time, can you put it on your own head!"
Gillinguet also expressed dissatisfaction.
"What did you say! Kid!"
Elkulus ignored the other party, but stared at Yohad.
Just now when it heard this guy say the words "summoned beast", it couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in its heart.
Although what the other party said was indeed true to a certain extent, his arrogant heart still did not allow him to be insulted by such words.
"Okay, everyone, calm down for a while, we are on our way."
Zhang Xiaoman spoke, and with just a few words, combined with his own mental pressure, Alculus could no longer move.
"Haha, Ji Xing! Well done..."
Yohad was about to laugh, but Zhang Xiaoman glared hard at him.
"Yohad, please don't say that again in the future. Alculus is not my summoned beast. It is still our companion, but it has just changed the identity of an undead."
The dwarf king had never dealt with this giant dragon. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at his mouth and muttered:
"Jiuxing, how can you help it speak..."
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly turned around and slowly flew in front of Yohad, staring at him with burning eyes.
"Johad, why do you think Alculus is like this?"
Yohad was a little confused by his sudden action, and subconsciously said:
"It became like this, not because of its strength..."
"Too weak? Is that really the case? Yohad!?"
Zhang Xiaoman interrupted him suddenly.
"Let me tell you why Alculus became like this. That's because in order to save your dwarf army and save the civilians of Kuhan City, he led the nine-headed dragon alone to help you delay time!"
"If it weren't for its sacrifice, how many of your clansmen do you think would be able to return to Kuhan City? Do you think you can still stand here intact now!?"
The expression on Zhang Xiaoman's face was full of coldness, and his body felt a powerful and almost suffocating pressure - this was the pressure from the life level of the Dark Spirit.
"So, Johad, I don't care what past troubles you have had before, but I hope you are at least a person who repays your kindness. Erculus gave his life to help you delay Urbis and During the attack of the Black Dragon Legion, some of the dead dragons did not even have their complete bodies preserved! They could have been hiding on Dragon Island and not participating in this battle, but now they died for you. Not only are you ungrateful, But you still want to laugh at it here, do you think this is appropriate!?"
Faced with Zhang Xiaoman's series of questions, Yohad blushed and wanted to retort a few words, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Finally, when he heard the next few words, he couldn't help but Lowered his head.
"We are partners now. We are about to face the most powerful enemy in the world. We must unite as one instead of fighting among ourselves here!"
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly reached out and patted Yohad on the shoulder and said:
"Johad, I know you are just a naive person, but now that we have gathered together, we must put aside some of our past prejudices, otherwise we will only be destroying ourselves."
Yohad could hardly lift his head at this time.
Although the dwarves have a bad temper, after realizing their mistakes, they will not make excuses to cover up like some humans do, and they are quite happy to admit it.
"Okay, Ji Xing...I understand..."
Yohad whispered.
He paused, struggled with his eyes, and then looked at the giant dragon staring here not far away, and said in a loud voice:
"Elkulus, I really want to thank you. It was you who saved our tribe, including my son... I was really an asshole before. I shouldn't have said that to you. I apologize to you... …”
