In the City of Divine Punishment, huge war relics can be seen everywhere on the dark land.
Even if some fortresses surrounded by high walls and giant pillars have been completely abandoned, they still maintain considerable integrity due to their solid material structures. Even if they are surrounded by magma and cracks and become an isolated island, they still stand firmly against the smoke and In the light of fire.
Countless cracks have divided the earth into pieces. When fighting monsters here, you have to pay attention to the ground under your feet at all times. It is obviously dark and hard rock, but now it gives people the feeling of brittle ice floes.
Wherever the lava goes, the monsters become more manic and their strength increases significantly.
Not only that, the corpses projected by monsters will disappear without a trace in such a place in just a moment, which also speeds up the process of projection rebirth. When the disparity in numbers reaches a certain level, fighting monsters within the scope of the River of Fire will It will be an endless battle.
The large-scale collapse half a month ago caused the River of Fire to spread directly to the human camp in the City of God's Punishment. In order to avoid a war of attrition within the scope of the River of Fire, the camp was forced to move and hide in another dark place.
Regias held the redrawn map and walked through the busy crowd, greeting those who came and went.
The fighting outside is still going on, and the transformation of the new camp is also going on tenaciously under the constant impact of monsters. It seems that everyone is accustomed to this, and responds to everything that happens in a state of chaos and order.
On the simple sentry tower that had just been completed, a burly man bent over and half knelt, holding a sword in front of him, his forehead pressed against the hilt of the sword, and he murmured in his mouth.
Regias climbed up to the sentry tower and did not disturb the man's focused prayer. He took out a water bag and took two sips. He looked at the vaguely visible ray of red light in the distance and breathed out slowly.
After a while, he saw the man who was praying get up and turn around, and then he asked:
"What did Akarat say to you today? My dear Helb."
The man put away his sword and said without a smile:
"Faith and perseverance are the eternal source of strength for the Paladins, no matter where or when! Perhaps you should find the reason why you have stopped moving forward, Regeas."
Regeas shrugged upon hearing this, and a paladin who looked nothing like a paladin appeared in his mind, and said with a smile:
"Maybe I'll be able to find a reason to refute you soon."
As he spoke, he unfolded the map in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious as he continued:
"At this time, the direction of the River of Fire has just been discovered. There is a large-scale cooling phenomenon in the east, but overall, it has expanded outward by nearly half. If we attack the Chaos Sanctuary now, this is a good starting point, although it is far away It’s not the shortest, but the terrain makes it easier to divide the density of monster groups.”
"half?"
Helmb stared at the map in front of him solemnly, his beard twitching with the rise and fall of his masseter muscles. Obviously, the news was worse than he expected.
Attacking the Chaos Sanctuary is an extremely difficult and dangerous operation. Now that the difficulty of advancing from the outside has doubled, it is very likely that many of the combat forces will be at the end of their game when facing Diavolo.
If there are not enough high-end combat forces to join, this will inevitably lead to an unacceptable number of deaths. Even if the Chaos Sanctuary is successfully swept, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Now it seems that it is a bit hasty to want to fight back forcefully after moving the camp.
Regius naturally understood this and asked:
"What's going on over there at the Demon Fortress?"
"The momentum of the monster attack has slowed down, and according to Jamela, something interesting has appeared this time."
"What is it?"
"I don't know the specifics. It's almost time for your equipment to be repaired, right? We'll know when we go back and take a look."
"receive!"
Regeas put on a happy expression, slapped the map into Helb's hand, then turned around and left.
As soon as he returned to the Demon Fortress through the teleportation circle, he felt an obvious difference.
The originally dark and pale war fortress was now shrouded in steady and soft firelight, which even made him feel a little strange.
He looked up and was immediately shocked.
What's up with that huge ring of fire! ?
Not only the demon fortress, but also the camp below and large areas outside were under the light of fire, making the battle situation clear at a glance.
The group of monsters in the distance has lost the momentum of the tide. Although the battle is fierce now, it is only a matter of time before all the monsters are killed.
Mo Bei and his teammates met at a place and were getting ready to fight. When he looked back and saw that they were already a certain distance away from the camp, he asked Perona worriedly:
"If it's too far away, will the ring of fire get out of control?"
Perona didn't speak, but Serina's voice came from the Book of Lan Ethan:
"I divided a part of my consciousness to control the fire spirit. As long as we are still in this plane, we can maintain it."
"When can you divide your consciousness?" Mo Bei asked.
Serena said:
"Although I was seriously injured in the ancestral tomb of the barbarians, I also absorbed a large amount of disintegrated soul power. After I stabilized completely, I used some tricks."
"It turns out you also have room for improvement!"
"It seems so. I was a little surprised when I discovered this."
It can be heard that Serena's voice is quite happy. After all, a soul like her that is not free will be quite desperate if it can only stay in the same state forever without changing.
And in this way, the combat power she can exert when she cooperates with Perona will also be improved. It is really exciting to see how far she can reach in the future.
At this moment, Taseres, who had been conducting reconnaissance in the air, suddenly let out a scream, flapped his wings, and the black mist rolled rapidly away from the demon fortress.
"She discovered the aura of a powerful enemy!"
Mo Bei's face darkened, and he immediately led the team to kill forward.
But after a long time, the banshee turned back from the other direction and shouted manically:
"My feeling is definitely not wrong. It's still the same aura as before, but it's gone again!"
"Calm down, don't let it lead you by the nose, just continue investigating."
Mo Bei reassured, saying that he did not doubt the banshee's perception ability, and he could basically conclude at this moment that there was indeed an unknown domain-level monster here.
The battle lasted for a long time. Although the sun did not rise or the moon set, it was not difficult for several people to feel that they had actually been fighting the monster for more than two days.
During this period, Taseres never felt the presence of that aura again, but Mo Bei still decided to bring the news back to the Demon Fortress. As soon as the battle was over, he led everyone through the portal and found Jameela.
After learning about this situation, Jamela did not express doubts. After all, the matter was so important that even if it was just a guess, it must be treated with caution.
But when Mo Bei asked about Yizuer's information, her eyes really shined with unusual light.
Even though it was only for a moment, Mo Bei noticed something strange about her and asked proactively:
"Do you know anything about Yizuer?"
Jamela groaned and said:
"The adjutant of Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice, and the holder of Blue Fury. As far as I know, it was killed by Lord Tyrael himself in the Battle of Hell's Forge, and its body fell into the forge and burned in the flames. Both body and soul are destroyed."
"Dead?" Mo Bei's tone was more questioning than confirmation, and he obviously would not give up his conclusion easily.
"So you suspect that the potential enemy is Yizuer? What is the basis?" Jamela asked.
"It's just a bold guess. Where did your news come from?"
Jamela looked at Mo Bei seriously and said:
"Lord Tyrell said it himself."
