Chapter 846: The Ancient Evil "Death Moon"
"Is that the end?" Borken asked hurriedly as soon as he returned to the control room.
He didn't understand why Henry stopped suddenly when he had an absolute advantage, and he also took the initiative to return the hostages trapped in the maze, which didn't match his usual style of killing them all.
Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a smile on his old buddy's question, and explained in a half-joking tone: "Of course I accept it as soon as I see it, otherwise what do you want? There are several legendary spellcasters on the other side. I don't have the confidence to kill them all at once."
As a person with a strong sense of revenge, he certainly hopes to solve the trouble once and for all like before. But the City of Shadows is not a cat or a dog. With careful planning and bold style, it is very lucky to be able to take advantage of this confrontation. You must know that once the legendary spellcasters of the opponent unite, the power is definitely not one equals two So simple.
Especially the supreme city lord Terramante must have a hole card in his hand. Before he figured out all the opponent's methods, Henry didn't want to turn his face completely, so he severely injured the two ghost princes, but he didn't really play. Dead hand. As for the destruction and killing in the City of Shadows, it was entirely to weaken the opponent's potential, otherwise it would be difficult for Olympus City to catch up in a short time.
It can be said that Ghost City and Olympus City are competitors, and they may be partners who are both enemies and friends in the future, but they must not become enemies, otherwise, when the two floating cities start to do their best to launch a war aimed at destroying each other At the same time, the final result must be a lose-lose situation, which has been proven many times in the Netheril era.
If you don't want to take advantage of outsiders, both Henry and Telamante must exercise restraint and keep the conflict within a certain range, in more popular terms. The two floating cities are like the two superpowers in the cold war period on the earth. They both control destructive power. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the entire human race will suffer together.
Although the Floating Void City has not yet reached the level that can destroy the Faerun Continent, its power must not be underestimated. The magic bombing alone can destroy more than 90% of the cities. Only those places that are also protected by magic locks, For example, Silvermoon City, Yongju Island, etc. have the ability to resist.
Of course, if there is a chance, there will be no future troubles. They would kill each other without hesitation, making their Floating Void City the only one, but unfortunately, judging by the degree of caution of the two, it was absolutely impossible to reveal such a fatal flaw.
Henry didn't know exactly what Terramante was thinking at the moment, but he knew that he must not cross the red line first, so after everyone in the City of Shadows left, he took the initiative to manipulate the city of Olympus and began to retreat slowly. From a distance, silently observing the reaction of the City of Shadows, in order to confirm what kind of countermeasures should be taken next.
Looking at the sound of shouts and killings coming from the city of ghosts in the distance. Henry stroked his chin and asked, "What do you think Telamante will do after dealing with those crazy monsters?"
"It's hard to say, but I can be sure of one thing. He must hate you very much now. Be careful, none of the great arcanists is a vegetarian, maybe there will be a big surprise in the future..."
Before Borken could finish his words, he saw countless streaks of green light shooting out from the high tower of the City of Shadows in the distance, and all the creatures that were illuminated were instantly decomposed into green powder, which looked like a group of " Dissociation Technique", in just a few seconds, the monsters rampaging on the street were cleared up.
"Interesting, what kind of spell is this? Why have I never seen it in any books?" Henry's eyes widened. Very curious question.
As soon as he sees unknown magic, he will immediately have a strong impulse to study. This is a defect inherent in character, and some people think it is an advantage.
"Of course you have never seen it before. It is primitive magic. The first batch of spells developed through the study of Netherese scrolls. Although powerful, the disadvantages are that they are expensive, difficult to control, and easy to accidentally injure. Every great arcanist Some of them are preserved. Ordinary spellcasters have never seen them at all, so there is no record in the books. It can be said that they are the prototypes of modern magic." Borken explained with a complex expression.
"Is it the first batch of magic born from the scrolls of Netheril?" Henry's eyes showed a trace of desire, and he muttered to himself: "No wonder it has such great power, I really want to grab all these materials Do your research."
In fact, since reading a Netheril scroll, he discovered a secret. That is, there is often a big gap between the content recorded on the scroll and the corresponding modern spells, perhaps for the purpose of widespread promotion. The great arcanists cut off the awkward or uncontrollable parts of magic, turning them into a form that most spellcasters can understand, but the power is often greatly reduced.
Take the stop of time as an example. According to the records on the scroll, this spell should be able to stop time completely, even the gods cannot be spared. But after castration, the magic becomes to allow oneself to enter a faster time flow in order to achieve the purpose of relative stillness.
One is that it can be used against gods, and the other is that it can only bully mortals. The first batch of spells born on the Er scroll are absolutely incredible things.
Just when Henry was thinking about how to get these precious materials, a black beam of light suddenly shot out into the air from the direction of the City of Shadows, followed by a hole in the sky that was slowly torn open, only a few minutes later. Seconds later, an undisclosed giant sphere appeared above the city of Olympus.
Its surface appears to be covered with potholes and black slime, and under the guidance of magic, it is getting closer and closer, giving people a scene of doomsday.
"Plop! Plop! Plop..."
Henry felt that his heart was beating violently as the giant meteorite approached, and the frozen time around his body began to loosen a little, as if this was not a dead object, but a conscious living body. He could even sense a strong desire to destroy emanating from the inside of the meteorite.
Such a twist!
Such a horror!
Even the corpses on the ground stood up unsteadily under its influence...
There is no doubt that this is a sign of catastrophe to come.
Borken's eyes widened, and he roared wildly with all his strength: "Death... Death Moon! The City of Shadows actually summoned the Death Moon in order to retaliate against us! Terramante is crazy! He wants to destroy the entire main plane!"
"Dead Moon?" Henry repeated with a frown, and immediately followed up with a question: "Tell me what this is, and how can I prevent it from falling?"
"It is said that it was the first God of Death created by God Io. It was transformed from the placenta of God of Death, and some people believe that it was the last god created by Io, but it was born as soon as it was born. Death. All in all, it is a living asteroid, an ancient evil, and its only wish is to destroy all life. Once it targets that plane, the destruction of this plane is basically doomed. I don’t know Knowing that there is a way to stop it, I am afraid that only the gods can do it together."
Borken has fallen into despair at this moment, and the whole person has become a little bit desperate. He didn't understand that the information on the Death Moon had been sealed since the time of Netheril. Where did the City of Shadows come from, especially for this kind of summoning, there must be an important item that allows Death Moon to locate it.
"An ancient evil? It seems that Telamante is really crazy, trying to summon this kind of thing with destructive power on the main plane, is his brain broken?"
Henry clenched his fists, exuding a chilling aura all over his body, the flickering cosmic projections in his eyes had almost taken shape, and even the air had become a little frozen.
Obviously, the current situation can no longer allow him to think too much, and he directly took out one with a diameter of nearly half a meter from the dimensional bag. A sphere engraved with delicate patterns.
This is a nuclear (weapon) weapon made by the demilich Congus. It contains highly enriched uranium with a concentration of more than 95%. The magic pattern on it is a device for accelerating detonation. . With their help, the preparation that used to take one minute can now be completed in five seconds, and the time for delaying the explosion can also be set, which is definitely an incredible killer.
Without any hesitation, Henry quickly cast the legendary spell to activate all the exquisite patterns, and then sent them to the surface of the dead moon with teleportation magic, and then silently waited for the result.
He knew very well that although nuclear weapons are extremely lethal to living organisms. But it may not be able to destroy an asteroid. The most important thing is that the dead moon is not an ordinary asteroid. It is an ancient evil, and it is very likely that it has some special abilities that others do not know.
While thinking wildly, the sphere teleported to the surface of the asteroid suddenly released a light comparable to the sun, and a loud noise erupted in the next second.
"boom!"
The powerful shock wave instantly swept through more than one-third of the surface of the dead moon, and the energy pillars that maintain the space tunnels in the City of Shadows were all affected. It began to distort and deform. The strong radiation interfered with the normal operation of the magic net.
But as the power of the explosion gradually dissipated, Henry noticed that a huge deep pit had been blown out on the surface of the asteroid. But the main structure has not suffered much damage. However, this ancient evil thing full of desire for destruction was obviously enraged, and it took the initiative to speed up the impact speed. There is no doubt that they want to smash the city of Olympus into pieces in one fell swoop.
"It's amazingly hard. It seems that if you want to destroy it, ordinary methods won't work..."
While muttering to himself, Henry let his brain spin rapidly, trying to find a solution.
Judging from the current situation, Terramante is definitely taking revenge. His goal is not to destroy Olympus City, because everyone knows that Floating Void City can not only fly, but also carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation. The goal of this great arcanist is very simple, to destroy the kingdom of West Hartland and the foundation of Henry. Typically, you do the first day and I do the fifteenth.
As the death moon got closer and closer to the main plane, the entire continent of Faerun was affected. All the dead in the cemetery dug up the soil and crawled out, wantonly attacking the surrounding living people, even priests and paladins. No amount of supernatural power can bring them back to sleep.
