Half an hour earlier, when Elvin's team of four had just finished their fight with Bradley.
In the ruins of the island right above the maze.
Any movement would force them to move closer to the center of the island.
After being teleported to the ruins of the Kumar Empire and the Ancient Gods, most people were forced to walk more than half of the journey in less than four hours, even if they tried their best to resist.
There were even a small number of official Extraordinaires who were too weak and not much stronger than trainees. They had already fallen tragically into the twisted altar at the center of the island. Their flesh and blood were instantly sucked dry and turned into a pile of bones on the ground.
Just as Gary had said, this was a "pilgrimage" that they did not have the final say in, and the sacrifice was their own lives!
And as they got closer to the center of the circle, the density of invisible monsters and Extraordinaires from various forces in the air was also increasing. Even the core forces who could barely hold on felt the pressure increase instantly.
They realized that these enemies or strangers of their own kind were more dangerous than the monsters.
This was because, according to the "rules of the game," killing one's own kind was the same as killing monsters. They would receive pure and excessive spiritual feedback. Whoever had enough spiritual power would have the last laugh in this competition to see who was more "cowardly"!
This discovery was no doubt like adding fuel to the fire, and it immediately set off a huge chaotic battle on the island.
Although the chaotic battle temporarily stopped between different forces, if they really came to the edge of the altar, it was not impossible for the pirates to attack their companions.
Chaos!
There was nothing but chaos!
In the northeast of the island.
Screech!
Boris, who was wearing the skin of a great white shark, dodged a high-speed attack with a sharp screech and slashed back with his saber. Accompanied by the shrill scream of a certain creature, spots of completely transparent body fluid appeared in the air.
"Gary, quick!"
"Roger that!"
Gary followed closely beside Boris. A large number of weapons he had collected along the way were strapped to his broad back.
There were steel weapons left behind by foreign victims, obsidian sawswords and spears from the natives, and even golden sacrificial sabers and swords that were scattered all over the place.
Hearing this, he casually took out a golden dagger with a fresh wooden handle from his back. Then, he started chanting the 'Military Swordsmanship' Kokyu-ho. His right arm suddenly swelled up, and with a crackling sound, it was as if the ripples of power had materialized on his steel-scaled arm.
"Hah!"
With a roar, Gary threw the "golden short spear" in the direction of the scream. A golden light with a terrifying sonic boom easily pierced through something floating in the air.
Sob —
Bang!
As the monster died and fell, its huge and ugly body slowly emerged from the air.
These strange assassin-like monsters were called "Invisible Leeches" by the pirates.
Its overall appearance was like a large leech flying in the sky, dragging a long string of disgusting innards behind its tail. Its head had a chrysanthemum-like mouth and dozens of hollow tubular tentacles. When it attacked secretly, it had a blood-sucking effect.
Normally, they were invisible. Only when they drank blood or died would they turn red and appear in front of humans in their complete form.
In the four hours since they arrived on the island, long-range attacks were the best way to deal with it without causing unnecessary displacement. It was a pity that there were almost no powerful long-range attacks other than throwing in the Warrior composition.
Also.
It was similar to the positions of the various forces in the lower labyrinth. The subordinates of the three pirate kings were in the northeast, northwest, and southwest respectively. The southeast was where the miscellaneous forces were.
The size of the personnel was close to ten times the number of people in the labyrinth.
The subordinates of the "Dragon Knights" in the same area had already gathered together.
Their positions were not very good. On their left and right were the pirate cadres under the command of Cabral and the "Oathbreaker" from the chaotic region.
Under such circumstances, the unknown number of "Invisible Leeches" floating above their heads became a secondary danger. The natural enemy, the "Oathbreaker" and the lawless fanatics from the chaotic region had become the greatest source of danger.
However, although the Men in Skins were only a group of trainees in human form, they had already completed the transformation of the Transcendents.
As artificial Transcendents of another path, the Men in Skins could not be ignored by the power of the [Labyrinth]. This group of Transcendents who had become Transcendents quickly were treated as weak substandard goods and thrown into the ruins on the surface.
Because of this.
The six official Knight led by Boris, Gary, William, and Alec, the werewolves, and the sharkmen added up to a total of 34 Men in Skins. The total number of Transcendents on the dragon knights' side had already reached 40.
No matter what, this was a powerful force that no hostile force could ignore.
Just like at this moment.
"Awoo —!"
The long howls of canines that pierced through eardrums rose and fell one after another. This small half of the island seemed to have turned into the wilderness of a new continent. After the "fur transformation", every werewolf was more than two meters tall and covered in grayish-black steel needle-like hair.
Even though their movement speed was limited on the island, with the scarlet "Wild Spirit Light" inherited from the "Demonized Gray Wolf", no matter how clumsy the pirate's swordsmanship was, they could still cut down a hundred-year-old tree on the island with one slash.
Moreover, it was also possible that they were affected by the wolf skin. This group of mass-produced Transcendents was comparable to the wolves in terms of cooperation and obedience. In the short probing confrontation with the subordinates of the "Oathbreaker", they clearly had the upper hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The three werewolves worked together and easily defeated the five-man team under the "Oathbreaker". They even left one of them alive.
Therefore, while the dragon knights were vigilant against others, the other forces were even more vigilant against them.
This was because the situation of the pirates under the "Oathbreaker" was similar to the "dragon knights". They happened to be between the "dragon knights" and "Undead Bones" Rudolph's subordinates.
Even though the total number of Transcendent officers had exceeded sixty after taking over Malonggang, the situation of being attacked from both sides was obviously not a good one.
Of course, there were exceptions to everything.
After the "Oathbreaker" briefly probed and restrained himself, an iron-headed uninvited guest appeared on Cabral's side in the Chaotic Lands.
"Caw caw caw … The spirituality of you pirates can be offered to Lord Samuel!"
The laughter of the person who spoke had a deep metallic sound that sounded like metal plates rubbing against each other. However, he was very short, at most 1.5 meters.
Although he was wearing a black sorcerer's robe and was dressed like a black sorcerer, his left eye was a green mechanical eye that constantly retracted. His spine and limbs had also transformed into shining alchemy machines.
The familiar style left a deep impression on the pirate officers who had experienced the battle of the "Clockwork Man" Billy Buddha. However, this was an orthodox evil alchemist and not an alchemy creation like the "Clockwork Man".
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pouring out firepower without any scruples always gave people an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
The evil alchemist who called himself Samuel laughed and turned his arms into cannon barrels. He kept firing, causing a frenzy among the dragon knights who maintained a dense formation.
Although it was unlikely that the group of Transcendents would simply die under such attacks, the frequency of dodging and the speed of moving to the center of the island had obviously increased by a lot.
"Don't dodge. Instead of sacrificing your flesh and blood to this island, why don't you give it to me? I'll still live well for you! Hahaha … "
Since killing the human Transcendents and the monsters on the island could give them an excessive amount of spiritual feedback, the sorcerer who had the ability to attack from a distance obviously felt that these human Transcendents, who had to think carefully about every move, were easier to kill.
Hunting his own kind to ensure his own survival was obviously not a burden to him.
On the other side.
"Damn bastards. When we leave this island, I'll definitely ask the captain to send a fleet to trample these disgusting people!"
The dragon knights who were strong in attacking but lacked auxiliary means did not have any good methods to deal with this sorcerer.
According to the rules, those who were closer to the center of the island would not be able to get close to him no matter what.
Rustle …
Only Alec opened his palm and let Sparrow, who was parasitic in his left hand, constantly urged the yellow sand to form a barrier to block the attacks. He also sent some people to use the firearms and throwing weapons they carried with them to fight back.
However, this evil alchemist who suppressed dozens of people by himself could not be proud for too long.
As the ritual in the maze was announced to be over, the rules of the game set by Eholt also became invalid.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Anita, who had already arrived in the ruins, did not need to do anything. This evil alchemist who had caused a lot of trouble for the dragon knights was already swarmed by a group of 'wolves and tigers', tearing him apart into pieces.
By the time Elvin, who was in Kukulkan's Temple, noticed the situation on the island, the grade 3 great Knight Anita had already joined the battle and easily suppressed all disobedience.
He focused his attention on what was in front of him again. This was because, where the bronze talisman had fallen, a seed that had been buried under the stone floor for a long time had sprouted and grown into a small tree in the blink of an eye.
"This … can't be what I think it is, right?"
Seeing this small tree, Elvin's heart skipped a beat. He felt like he was holding a huge hot potato in his hand, but he could not help but grip it tighter.
The little girl evil spirit was probably a priest of the feathered serpent god Kukulkan when she was alive. She was also a saintess who could contain the power of a god.
Legend had it that the feathered serpent god wore the most dazzling feather clothes, and wielded the powers of the sun, life, harvest, culture, wind and rain, all of which corresponded to her songs.
Two hundred years ago, when the empire led by the ancient gods collapsed and the gods were torn apart, she was probably the one who kept a part of the feathered serpent god's power.
It seemed that the 'stolen pair of wings' were the two powers of the feathered serpent god, culture and life.
It was also possible that it was not stolen, but that her divine body had been violently torn apart.
She ruled over the Morning Star and invented books and laws, which was why her power of culture was coveted by the ancient gods, and she was severely damaged at that time.
Aihort, the God of Labyrinth, had also used the authority of [Culture] as a foundation to extend his clergy of [Rule Maker], [Justice], or [Law] outside of [Labyrinth], gradually transforming himself to the side of Order.
The tragic feathered serpent god Kukulkan was completely killed by the Angel of Fire who coveted the power of the sun after the Shilius people landed. He returned to the origin of the world, and no one knew how long it would take for him to recover.
At the same time, the other pair of wings, which was the bronze talisman, had been protected by the little girl until now.
The little girl wanted to hand over the precious relic left behind by the gods that was the foundation of her existence to the right person. It might not have been out of goodwill. Or rather, it might have been a supreme honour for her, and she did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Because …
Just like how mortals could not resist the temptation of treasures, extraordinary individuals could not resist the power of this level of power. Even a grade 4 extraordinary individual who accepted the power of life would not be able to predict the consequences.
The most likely possibility was that Kukulkan would be reborn in the body that accepted this power!
However …
It was impossible for Elven to give up. He carefully put away the talisman, and walked out of Kukulkan's temple as if nothing had happened.
At the same time.
The large-scale naval battle on the surface of the sea, which had returned to the mortal world, was still ongoing. The ordinary pirates were still in a killing frenzy and did not realize what had happened on the island. Under the stimulation of endless treasures, the naval battle between mortals was even more tragic than when they were suppressed by extraordinary individuals.
