Edith was the first Grand Arcanist to rush back after the city was half-destroyed. What Roddy saw was the arcanist's first-person perspective. Edith, with her staff in hand, took the lead and charged at the "mother" with more than ten "students" in her Mage Tower. However, the bombardment did not work. Instead, the arcanists were either killed or injured. In order to prevent the "mother" from evolving to an unimaginable level, Edith finally chose to blast open the "mother"'s body and find its final weakness before self-destructing.
Roddy pursed his lips. Perhaps it was because of the soul transmission, but he could feel Edith's determination and reluctance at that time. "Sacrifice" was easy to say, but it was too difficult to do it. A Grand Arcanist who sacrificed her life to protect a city was already worthy of being called a "hero."
However, these scenes did not end there. Roddy found that the "mother" did not die after the explosion. Instead, it disguised itself as a "child" and escaped back into the sea. Edith's "soul" was formed in the "mother"'s body at that time. Using her powerful mental power, she tried to completely imprison the "Evil Magic Crystal Core".
However, after the explosion of the destroyed High Elf city, no one could come out to help Edith. In the end, the "mother" followed its instinct and returned to the deep sea.
Although Edith was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. Therefore, in the next hundreds of years, the "Soul Crystal" kept trying to keep the seal, preventing her from recovering her original strength. However, as time passed, the seal became weaker and weaker. In the end, the "mother" turned the tables …
The mental corruption made Edith very miserable. However, with her great perseverance, she did not completely get corrupted after so many years.
All kinds of emotions flashed in Roddy's heart. However, what surprised him the most was the last few scenes in front of him. There was a strange wave on the sea. The "mother" went up as if it was summoned and received a red potion on the lonely boat.
In this scene, Roddy saw a group of familiar figures … It was a few fair-skinned Tuk women wearing golden muslin clothes.
Roddy quickly understood the whole story. When the scene disappeared, Roddy found himself looking at the pair of azure eyes again. But this time, Edith's eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Catch it!"
"Catch it!"
"Don't let it escape!"
The echoing murmurs made Roddy realize that Edith's condition was probably very bad. After spending more than seven hundred years to seal the "parent body", the entire soul crystal had reached the point where it was running out of oil. The only thing that kept it from collapsing was probably the obsession of killing the "parent body"!
A white dot suddenly appeared on the map. Clearly, Edith had locked onto the current location of the "parent."
At the same time, a new notification popped up for the [Devil's Disaster] quest.
"Find the true body of the ancient beast! Edith is willing to do her best to help you catch it!
You don't have much time left. "
Quest Objective: Find the core of the "parent body" 0/1
Quest Reward: 1280000 EXP
Roddy knew that he had to follow up with another attack, so he stuffed the crystal back into his pocket and leaped out of the ruins. In the next second, Roddy summoned the "Secondary Flame Spell" and attached it to the arrow. After shooting it into the sky, he summoned the "Wind Elemental". With the acceleration buff, he quickly rushed towards the bright spot on the map.
*****
Below the "Colomier" Magic Tower, after the shock wave subsided, the troops poked their heads out and looked at the sky that seemed to have suddenly cleared up. They did not make a sound for a long time.
President Jeremy let out a long sigh. He could no longer sense the presence of the enemy, but that did not mean that the war was over. The murlocs were still wreaking havoc in the city, and there were still many survivors of the big and small "Saplings". He immediately ordered loudly, "Form a defensive line! Clear the entire city! "
However, the team led by Akasha obviously did not intend to listen to him. The entire front line, led by Erwin, had already quickly moved towards the direction of the dock. Needless to say, they were looking for Roddy.
As soon as they moved, Jeremy saw the entire front line moving with them … because the front line was basically made up of the "Resurrected Murlocs" and the envoys of other countries. The team, including Bin Duguo, had no interest in staying here and listening to Jeremy's command. They only knew that it was absolutely safe to follow this group of elite soldiers, so they consciously followed them.
As soon as they left, the entire front line in front of the Magic Tower was almost instantly empty. This scene immediately stunned Jeremy and the other mages.
Only then did the group of Lassman leaders realize that if not for Roddy's team in this war, they would not even be able to "clear the battlefield"!
"Err … Change of plan. Rescue Roddy first! Clear all the enemies on the way. "
Jeremy coughed lightly and hurriedly gave a new order. Otherwise, how could they rely on a few commanders to "form a defensive line"?
However, they had only taken a few steps when someone in front of them shouted, "What's that over there?!"
Looking up, the burning arrow drew a slightly dim trajectory in the night sky. Roddy's Dragonbone Bow was full of strength, and with the magic power of the "Guided Arrow", the highest point of the arrow was almost more than 300 meters. However, at a distance of four to five kilometers, the trajectory disappeared in a flash and was soon drowned in the dust that had yet to disperse.
Akasha and the others who were at the forefront saw this scene and immediately sped up again. Almost all of their warhorses were killed and injured in the impact. At this moment, they could only rely on Sylvia's magic and pure running to support them.
On the battlefield in front of them, the mages who walked out of cover also saw Roddy's signal arrow. Just as they were hesitating whether they should go forward or not, a figure in the distant sky had already flown straight towards them …
Merlinsera, with her robe torn and her long hair disheveled, had successfully withstood the impact of the explosion of the "parent body", but she looked much more disheveled. However, she couldn't care less about the bloody wounds on her arms at this moment. She gritted her teeth and flew towards the pier that was littered with corpses. There, Roddy's arrows with all his might had already brought about a huge wave of explosive sparks!
The "parent body" had completely lost its mountain-like appearance from before. Instead, it looked like a "child body" that was about four meters tall as it fled frantically. It used its tentacles to support its body and quickly retreated towards the shore. It thought that it could escape this disaster, but it didn't expect that it would be targeted by Roddy …
If it was caught by a mage, it still had a way to evade. However, at this distance, Roddy's firepower was even more terrifying than that of three mages combined.
Over thirty explosive arrows landed on the body of the "parent body" under the "guided bombardment". The tentacles were blasted away by the explosion, and the speed at which it was fleeing towards the sea was greatly slowed down. In order to retaliate against Roddy, the tentacle quickly grabbed a rotten piece of wood on the way and threw it straight at Roddy —
Bam!
The "earth elemental" appeared in front of Roddy and blocked the wooden block with its body. During this time, Roddy's arrows continuously hit the eyes in the center of the "parent body". The accurate "arcane shots" made the "parent body" twitch all over. It knew that if it continued to flee, it would most likely be shot to death. It turned around and pounced towards Roddy. However, before it could reach Roddy, a series of "giant icicles" fell from the sky and nailed it to the ground.
"Roddy!"
Merlinsera felt relieved when she saw Roddy shooting with his bow. However, she did not realize what the "Spawn" in front of her was. As soon as the spell in her hand slowed down, she saw the monster quickly spewing thick black mist around. At the same time, a spherical shadow less than a meter long emerged from under its body and quickly fled to the distant dock in the black mist.
This "escape" skill could scare Merlinsera, but it couldn't scare Roddy who had Edith's soul crystal. He quickly locked onto the figure and used "sprint" and "leap" in succession, but it was difficult for the arrows to hit the black shadow that was weaving in and out of the ruins. When Roddy realized that the opponent was about to reach the pier, he suddenly had an idea. He used the "Demon Deterrence" skill that he had just obtained and locked onto the target in front of him!
"Hiss —"
With a strange hiss, the spherical octopus-like monster's body stiffened. Its originally soft tentacles stood upright and stretched out in all directions, and it fell to the ground as if it had been electrocuted.
But the "parent body's" mental resistance was too high. Even though its strength had been weakened to this extent, this "stun" effect only lasted for a second before it ended. Its tentacles quickly curled up, and it trembled as it propped up its body, ready to continue its escape. But Roddy wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He grabbed the "parent body"'s tentacles and threw it to the ground like a sack!
Roddy unsheathed his short sword and stabbed it into the opponent's body with all his strength. The soft and slippery tentacles whipped his face and body wildly, but they couldn't stop the sharp blade from pinning it to the ground. In the next second, Merlinsera's "Freeze" followed closely. She cast it three times in a row, and it and the short sword that Roddy had let go of were both frozen into ice cubes.
"What is this thing?!"
Merlinsera landed beside Roddy and staggered a little.
"The main body of the sea monster, we have to …" Roddy raised his head and saw Merlinsera's face clearly. The words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
Blood flowed down her cheeks and onto her clothes. The sleeves of her robe had almost disappeared, and her arms were even redder. Merlinsera also had a wound on her thigh, so she couldn't even walk properly. Roddy didn't expect her to be so badly injured, but when he remembered that she was the first one to arrive here to help him, he immediately understood …
"What do we have to do? Kill it? "
Merlinsera took a step forward and raised the magic wand in her hand, but she couldn't help but fall to the side because her legs were weak. Roddy held her in his arms. "Wait …"
He took out Edith's Soul Crystal, and at the same time, he found that one step of [Devil's Disaster] had been completed in the mission panel. After the EXP reward, the content had also been updated.
"Help Edith fulfill her last wish."
Mission Objective: Place the Soul Crystal and the Ancient Sea Monster's Evil Magic Crystal together
Mission Reward: "Lassman's Hero"
4530000 EXP
Merlinsera wanted to stand up, but she couldn't maintain her balance due to her severe injuries. After Roddy held her arm, she finally gave up and obediently leaned into Roddy's arms. Her heart was beating fast, so she could only turn her attention to the struggling "mother" in front of her. When she saw that the "mother" had cracked the ice, she quickly waved her magic wand and froze it again. However, as soon as she finished casting the spell, she frowned. "Who's talking? No … it's using mind magic on me! "
"I can feel it too."
Roddy stared at the small monster in front of him. Because of the "Dragon Slayer's Mark", he was almost immune to most mind magic, but he could still hear the monster's incessant murmurs …
The strength of the monster's mind was far beyond his imagination. If Merlinsera wasn't also a Dragons, she might have already fallen for the spell and let it go!
Perhaps only a Grand Arcanist like Edith could handle such a troublesome character. If it were any other Magician, who would dare to say that they wouldn't be eroded?
Rody turned his head and saw a few black dots flying in his direction in the distant sky. They should be the sorcerers coming over to investigate. This meant that there was a serious problem. The sorcerers were probably interested in the person in front of them and wanted to bring him to the laboratory to dissect and study him.
Roddy didn't believe that they could withstand the monster's mind erosion, but he also didn't trust the solution in front of him — Edith's Soul Crystal had been eroded before. Although the mission was to "fulfill Edith's last wish", it didn't say that they could completely kill the "Ancient Sea Monster"!
Roddy didn't dare to be careless with this problem, so he immediately discussed with Merlinsera how to kill the monster.
Merlinsera didn't waste any time. She used her Elemental Slash to cut the frozen "main body" into pieces, revealing the fist-sized gray crystal in front of them …
"Let me take care of it."
"Thank you for doing so much, human."
Edith's words appeared in Rody's mind, but he completely ignored them. He continued to attack the crystal with Merlinsera in all sorts of ways!
But what surprised them was that no matter if it was the sword slashes or the various elemental attacks, they couldn't cause any damage to it.
Even a Dragon Crystal would be damaged and completely shattered under continuous attacks. But the "Matrix" crystal obviously didn't belong to this situation.
"It's existed for too long. It's very difficult to break the mental barrier after demonization."
