After hearing Galadia's warning, Griffith immediately rolled to one side. Cretan was struggling, trying to free his huge body from the quicksand trap. It also noticed the elf's increasingly powerful momentum and threat, and let out a terrifying roar at her in the sand pit.
The magic eye on Galadia's left side has become as dazzling as a gem, inducing this crazy creature to focus all its attention. She picked up the bow string, and the golden edge like phoenix wings wrapped around the strong bow, and the arrow turned into a meteor-like light arrow.
Cretan was greatly provoked. It opened its mouth, ignored the arrows aimed at it, and condensed a ball of air in its mouth to aim at the elf.
Before the air mass took shape, a bright starlight illuminated the darkness of the ruins and went straight to the center of the ferocious mouth.
"Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima! (Hail to the brightest star Elenion Ancalima!)"
Galadia shot a psychically wrapped arrow at the dragon turtle. The arrow shaft and tail wrapped in silver light had been extinguished into dots of light during the flight, and the arrowhead had turned into a dazzling and fluctuating light spot, trailing a long trail and flashing past like a meteor. Her will had induced the creature to open its mouth and use supernatural powers to fight back, exposing its fragile interior.
Cretan suddenly realized the danger, and before it could close its mouth, the starlight arrow had already shot into its body. Galadia's full blow tore its body from the inside with surging energy, and even the big blood-red eyes were illuminated by the overflowing silver light.
Immediately afterwards, this indestructible beast began to swing from side to side like a roly-poly, with cracks opening in the rocks all over its body.
Like a broken porcelain doll, Cretan's huge body began to crack and break.
"boom!"
In an earth-shattering loud noise, this crazy legendary creature exploded into countless fragments, and a sun-like radiance rose from the shattered center. Even the darkest corners of the ruins are illuminated.
Griffith raised his head in amazement, squinting his eyes and staring at the depths of the ruins illuminated by the light like falling stars. The rare brilliance gave him a fleeting, clear glimpse of the distant landscape.
Rugged and sharp stone pillars, spiral and winding tunnels, stone bridges and raised platforms connect the towering stone walls, forming a cave like a deep and strange palace in the distant darkness.
On top of the layers of cliffs and roads, there is an extremely huge and terrifying shadow appearing in the darkness that is difficult to reach by light. It seemed to be watching the battle taking place below. As the ball of light in Cretan's remains flickered, the shadow became twisted and ferocious as if it had given birth to countless tentacles and horns.
…
The ancient rock dragon turtle covered by rocks collapsed, its sharp claws and shell shattered, and hit the ground heavily. The heart-stopping red light in his eyeballs also disappeared.
From the appearance, it is a large turtle magnified hundreds or thousands of times, with a hard rock shell protecting the limbs and torso.
There are a lot of huge and strange beasts in the world, and it is not uncommon for them to have strange abilities. However, there are only a handful of them that can match the intelligence of civilized races. This means that they have transcended the limits of beasts and entered the level of legendary creatures, possessing the qualifications to be treated as equals to civilized races.
Above them, there are even more powerful and mysterious species, which are mythical creatures that are favored and favored by a certain god. They consider themselves to be above civilized races and legendary creatures. They only serve their great master and rarely appear in human sight.
Griffith observed Cretan's mangled body. When he first heard its name, he thought it was the name of a local extraordinary person who served the elf purification work, and didn't think about anything else at all. Galadia should have recognized its identity through special abilities or items after encountering it. Otherwise, if she had known in advance that an intelligent giant dragon turtle lived here, she would have been wary of the strange boulder.
Kraitan can cooperate with elves, which means it should be very powerful. But in the battle just now, it only showed silent preying, strong physique, strong body and sonic boom ability. It was completely unlike what an intelligent creature should look like.
It must have been under some influence and lost its mind.
Griffith hid behind the shield and quickly determined his thoughts: "Guide and hired workers, take your things and leave here. Leave now."
One of the local people hired to help was swallowed up in the chaos just now, and then Galadia's arrow shot into the dragon turtle's mouth, completely giving up hope of rescue. In order to avoid further dangers and casualties, Griffith kept other ordinary people away, leaving only a few extraordinary people in Homemonworth to understand the situation.
"We need to check the remains of Cretan a little, take away some fragments, and then leave the ruins," Sonia said through gritted teeth before she could recover from the pain. Report its mutation and the situation here. Why is such an ancient creature...what is that!?"
An indescribable fishy smell suddenly appeared in the air.
Rana, who had just touched Cretan's remains and was about to inspect it, suddenly noticed that the huge dragon turtle corpse was filled with a strange aura, and a thick black shadow suddenly emerged from the part that should have been the intestines and stomach. He hurriedly retreated, and Griffith covered each other.
This shadow is as dark and deep as an abyss, as if it wants to swallow up the nearby light and smear endless chaos and malice on the world.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, no one knew what happened.
The shadows that were more solemn than ink poured out from Cretan's broken limbs as if they were alive, stretching out shadows like little hands of children. Soon, this strange shadow condensed on the ground like a liquid, slowly rising up...
An extremely sexy figure appeared in the shadows. She has long pointed ears, long flowing silver hair hanging around her waist, her bronze skin is sexy and charming, and her proud curves seduce instinctive desires.
When she walked forward with her legs open, the sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed in the cave. Such a sound could appear in this deep cave, and everyone felt a strong sense of disobedience.
Galadia hesitated for a moment and asked: "Are you Salazar Sif, an Extraordinary from the Purification Team Collector Path Sequence 7 'Puppet Master'?"
The visitor's lofty gaze swept over the surprised people, and ominous words came from his flaming red lips:
"Salazar Sif, the beloved of the distant god of dreams, has come to take away your minds in accordance with the will of our Lord."
The dream implies spirituality and illusion. The god who holds this authority is not among the new gods, nor is it the ancient old god that everyone has heard of. It must not be the normal belief in Canaan.
Salazar Sif was supposed to be one of the purifiers of the Bellomon ruins, but she emerged from the shadow of the ancient rock dragon turtle. This astonishing scene may be some kind of magical phenomenon, completely beyond the expectation of everyone present.
But the surging shadow forms a beautiful and sexy woman, which is not very scary.
Griffith, who witnessed all this, felt untroubled and even a little interested. It's just that the title I've never heard of is a bit shocking.
Galadia drew the bow string, and the turbulent air flow was directed at the fallen Purifier:
"Everyone, be careful. It seems that the purifiers of the Bellomont ruins have all pledged their allegiance to a new faith, an unheard-of evil god. In addition to Besarius, the other two purifiers are Sequence 7 'Ranger' Anna Sui and Assassin Path Sequence 7 ‘Stalker’ Pisathius, keep an eye out for their traces.”
"Ah~ you are the little fool of the Villanoy family, you are already Sequence 7," Salazar Sif looked over with an indescribable smile, "I will save you until the end, let you be mine A breeding ground for children.”
As soon as she finished speaking, more shadows as thick as ink surged out of the dragon turtle's body, spreading darkness around. These shadows were like black juice. Once they hit the ground, they immediately swelled into a wriggling object, wildly devouring Cretan's remains of flesh and blood, and then rapidly expanded to form the shape of a rabbit with a pitch-black shape and sharp fangs.
They were next to each other, making a rustling sound of eating, and in a blink of an eye they had eaten the dragon turtle, filling the field of vision with pits and valleys. They looked like animals, but also like squirming liquids, silently swarming in from all directions.
"Creations of the abyss!" Fiona exclaimed, "Don't touch them. This black thing is flesh and spirit pollution that is extremely difficult to eradicate!"
"That's right," Salazar Sif said with a smile, "At the last moment of my life, please see what the God of Dreams gave me..."
Before she finished speaking, Galadia had already poured spiritual energy into her arrow and fired it. The sharp wind pressure swept up a large group of black rabbits that rushed towards everyone and crushed them. His ears were filled with a series of explosions, and smelly black liquid splashed in the air.
However, the splashed black liquid condensed again as it hit the ground, and the strange creation didn't care about the damage. Salazar Sif, a fallen elf loyal to the evil god, waved a wand, and more black liquid gushes out from the surrounding gravel, withered vines, mushrooms and gaps.
The mortal workers screamed and ran away, but several of them were thrown to the ground by the swift black rabbit, letting out heart-piercing screams. Countless rabbits showed off their densely packed fangs and gnawed crazily. The screams stopped abruptly, and the hired workers' bodies were melted and devoured.
The monsters that devoured the human body were mixed into a ball of squirming liquid, splitting into more black rabbits in the blink of an eye. The dense army of monsters spread all over the cave like lumps grown by plague-infected corpses, swarming in with a rustling sound.
They blocked the escape route to the exit, forcing Griffith and the others toward the cliff at the edge of the camp platform.
"Don't attack those abyss creations, attack the fallen one! Salazar Sif is an Extraordinary in Collector Path Sequence 7. Defeating her will cut off the energy supply for the existence of creations!" Galadia shouted, while bending her bow towards Sif shot an arrow. The latter immediately hid himself behind the rock and easily avoided the attack.
Sonia and Fiona were about to activate the spells of defense and counterattack when the black monsters that were coming in suddenly stopped nearby. They burrow into the ground like moles, eroding cracks in the rock in a blink of an eye.
The rocks under their feet shook, and the five people present were about to fall into the depths of darkness.
"This place is going to collapse!"
"She wanted us to fall."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rock shattered and everyone fell towards the darkness below.
…
Griffith hurriedly transformed into bat form. He walked through the broken rocks, trying to find his companions. But in this state, he had almost no vision. Just dodging among the falling rocks was already exhausting his energy, and in the end he found no one.
He flew downwards for a long distance, and finally regrouped on a flat ground.
The terrain here is very rugged, with huge rocks scattered in a large funnel-shaped pit, and dark tunnels that are intricate and lead to nowhere.
The faint light of the shimmering crystals and moss on the cave dome allowed him to vaguely see the outline of the place, but he could not grasp the details.
He was separated from his teammates and couldn't even identify where he was for a while.
Griffith quickly assessed the situation. Although the fallen purifier Sif has received the favor of the evil god and mastered strange summons, she will not face five extraordinary people at the same time. Therefore, she managed to break up the group, possibly by breaking them down and isolating them individually.
Soon, the corrupted purifier will be down with her monsters to pursue everyone, or join forces with her own companions to attack.
The battle must be prepared as soon as possible, whoever gathers first will have the advantage. But first, someone has to start the organization.
Galadia is a spellcaster and ranger who is good at long-distance combat while hiding her figure. The first time she exposes herself is to give away her advantage to others. Lana was not sure if there was a way to escape from the fall just now, and he and Fiona definitely had a way to find each other.
As for Sonia... Griffith looked at the nearby stalactites and scattered fossils, and wondered if Sonia was already curiously studying clues somewhere after the initial panic.
It's really up to me to gather the team! Griffith climbed up to a higher pile of rocks, took out the condemnation again, loaded the gunpowder, opened the hammer, raised it above his head, and fired an empty shot.
The gunfire echoed through the silent cavern, and the firelight would clearly mark his location.
He stood in the desolate darkness for a while, took out a portable oil lamp from his bag, lit it and placed it at his feet, waiting for his teammates to join him or for the enemy to pursue him.
A slight noise appeared not far away. A vague figure appeared in the darkness and walked toward him. Soon, Griffith judged her identity from her body curves and strange smell.
"Huh? Little boy, instead of hiding carefully in this darkness, didn't you choose to light yourself up?"
The fallen elf Salazar Sif appears. Her footsteps were accompanied by rustling sounds, and groups of black rabbits stared with bright red eyes, opened their three-petal mouths to reveal dense fangs, and jumped around her from all directions.
