Chapter 496 The Ambition of the God of Disaster
Crosno's name was pushed away, and only Gustav and Katherine were left floating in the air.
"Kathleen, Gustav..."
Frossel murmured to himself and frowned slightly. Neither Catherine nor Gustav could gain his trust.
This is true even if Gustav is a member of the Phantom Crows.
Unlike Christina and Mitchell, Gustav and Froslai were not from the same period. The other was just a genius who was promoted to a third-level wizard in a very short time due to his talent.
Even before the start of this expedition, Gustav was only a second-level wizard, and he had just been promoted to the second level not long ago.
And the other target, Kathleen.
Froslai didn't believe it even more. Pure vampires came from the shadow world. After the shadow world was conquered by the wizard civilization, the vampire family fell into the embrace of the abyss, and even completely merged with the abyss, just like an alternative demon race.
Therefore, wizards with vampire blood are also suspected of moving closer to the abyss. Even if Crowley of [Fang Blood Shadow] has just fallen, Kathleen will not be able to get rid of the suspicion.
"Who do you think...it could be?"
Froslai murmured to himself, as if asking someone, ": Mitchell."
Next to him, a white-robed figure slowly appeared, with a lazy smile on his face. It was the "fallen" third-level wizard Mitchell.
…
At the same time, the ghost world is fighting.
Tap tap tap!
Under the dark sky, the ground was filled with fog that could hardly be dispersed, and the view within ten meters in front was blocked.
With the sound of horse hooves, a figure in red robe tore through the fog and slowly moved towards the forest ahead.
Suddenly, Enzo stopped.
A forest scene has appeared in front, with countless black trees intertwined together, with dry branches and claws like demons, and a thicker black mist emanating from it.
The Dark Sea of Trees is the westernmost place in the world of war ghosts. It is also the birthplace of the God of Disaster and a place where the power of the Blood-killing God cannot reach.
"This is it!"
Enzo took a deep breath, turned over and jumped off the back of the magic horse, with a trace of dignity and caution on his face.
Quack quack!
On the spot, the magic horse turned into a crow and landed on Enzo's shoulder. His dark eyes looked into the distance, and then he shrank his head.
Even Swain can feel the terrifying aura emanating from the dark sea of trees.
In place, Enzo thought.
From around him, illusory crows flew out one after another, and flew towards the interior of the dark sea of trees. Before entering a strange environment, it was Enzo's habit to use the shadow crows to explore.
However, the shadow crows, which were always invincible, lost their effect this time. When several shadow crows flew into the dark sea of trees, before Enzo could change his vision, invisible power invaded.
In an instant, the shadow crows were annihilated one after another, turning into the purest magic power, merging with the black mist in the air.
"Failed?" Enzo frowned slightly.
This was the first time that the shadow crows failed. After thinking for a moment, Enzo summoned ten shadow crows again and threw them into the dark sea of trees.
However, the ending is the same as before.
The moment the ten shadow crows entered the dark sea of trees, they were like mud cows entering the sea. They were quickly swallowed up by the invisible force and turned into the purest magic power and black mist.
"Is this... the domain of the God of Disaster?"
A solemn expression appeared on Enzo's face. The dark tree sea seemed to have unique rules. When the shadow crow entered it, it would immediately be annihilated and disappear.
"Since the God of Disaster is an indigenous god born in the dark sea of trees, he must have a special connection with this area. It is logical to make this place a unique area in some way!" Enzo stroked Chin, thinking.
Afterwards, Enzo fell into deep thought.
The dark sea of trees in front of him is like a huge black hole that can swallow everything. Since the shadow crow cannot explore it, it means that Enzo cannot connect to the specific situation inside.
Therefore, Enzo's rash entry into it meant unknown risks.
"Do you want to go in?"
Enzo frowned slightly, feeling a little tangled in his heart, but it quickly disappeared. After taking a deep breath, he stepped straight into the dark sea of trees.
Now that we have come here, no matter what lies ahead, Enzo must go in, otherwise his plan with the Bloodkiller God will fail.
Swish, swish, swish!
Enzo walked into the dark sea of trees, surrounded by darkness and fog, and below were dry tree branches and leaves, and his footsteps made a faint sound when he stepped on them.
Suddenly, Enzo stopped.
Although the surroundings were dark and the fog almost blocked the view ten meters in front of him, Enzo was a third-level wizard after all. With a mental power exceeding 30 points, he was extremely sensitive to his surroundings.
brush!
Above, on a ten-meter-long black tree, an evil beast that looked like an ape but was completely rotten jumped down from above and slashed towards Enzo with its sharp claws.
In place, Enzo's expression remained unchanged.
The shadow under his feet turned into a sickle, and with a sharp swing, the ape evil beast was cut into two pieces. The black blood spilled on the ground, making a gurgling sound.
Squeak!
After being chopped into two pieces, the ape evil beast still did not die completely. Instead, it let out a sharp cry and stared at Enzo with its scarlet eyes.
"Low-level evil beast?"
Enzo looked at the evil beast ape that was struggling on the ground but not dead, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The ape evil beast transformed by the black mist did not gain very strong attack power, but its vitality was extremely tenacious. It was obviously not even a first-order life form, but it had a powerful vitality that even a second-order life form could not compare with.
"What's the point?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows. The evil beasts polluted by the black mist were equivalent to being transformed by the God of Disaster. For the God of Disaster, giving the evil beasts different attributes meant that they showed different characteristics. effect.
Low-level evil beasts are equivalent to cannon fodder. If they don't have strong attack methods, no matter how tenacious their vitality is, what's the use.
Enzo's eyes were thinking, but at this moment.
As the evil beast ape that was chopped into two pieces kept making sharp screams on the ground, pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared on the trees around the dark sea of trees.
Thousands of white evil beast apes, as if summoned by their companions, kept appearing in the trees, with pairs of scarlet eyes staring down at Enzo.
"The same kind of evil beast?"
Enzo's eyes flashed, some speculations emerged in his mind, and he murmured to himself: "Creating a race by transforming all creatures into evil beasts. This behavior seems to be somewhat similar to the evil ghost race I created." !”
Originally, Enzo thought that the God of Disaster created evil beasts through the black mist in order to consume the power of the Bloodkiller God, but now it seems that there is more to it than that.
The God of Disaster obviously has greater ambitions.
He transformed a large number of apes into evil beasts, thereby creating a new life form. If this life form had the ability to reproduce, it would be completely called a race.
Although the beast's intelligence is low and it is difficult to be the ruler of the world, if the God of Disaster's plan succeeds, does it mean that he can create a race of intelligent life forms similar to the War Ghosts?
If the God of Disaster really supports an intelligent race comparable to the War Ghost Clan, does that mean that this race can eventually replace the War Ghost Clan and become the ruler of the world?
Just like... Enzo's ongoing experiment.
Whether it is the God of Blood Killing or the God of Disaster, after they kill each other, if they want to continue to rule the world, they must rely on an intelligent race. The God of Blood Killing already has the War Ghost Race, but the God of Disaster does not. He only controls a group of evil beasts and evil beings.
Strictly speaking, the evil aliens and evil beasts transformed by the black mist pollution are just puppet creatures. Although they have a certain degree of consciousness, their thinking is completely controlled by the God of Disaster, and they obviously cannot be regarded as a race.
Therefore, the God of Disaster is eager to have an intelligent race like the God of Bloodkiller as the cornerstone of his future rule of the world.
Squeak! !
At the edge of the dark sea of trees, among the branches of a large number of black trees, apes and evil beasts let out sharp screams one after another, and then rushed towards Enzo at the same time.
"Shadow Realm!"
Enzo's expression remained unchanged, and he directly opened the shadow realm. A scythe like the hand of death quickly condensed into shape, and then he waved it fiercely.
brush!
A huge shadow sickle emerged from the air, instantly cutting a large number of apes and evil beasts into two pieces. Black, sticky blood spilled onto the ground, making a gurgling sound.
The black blood fell on the ground and soon turned into black mist, while the evil beast apes injured by the shadow scythe inhaled fiercely.
At the tip of the noses of those evil beast apes, black mist turned into airflow and poured into them. Expressions of joy appeared on the hideous and ugly faces of the evil beast apes, as if they were inhaling poisonous mist.
Immediately afterwards, after absorbing enough black mist, the injuries on the evil beast ape began to heal one after another, as if they were a perfect closed loop in this dark sea of trees.
The evil beast apes were injured, and their blood spilled on the ground and turned into black mist. After absorbing the black mist, they could quickly recover from their injuries.
Swish, brush, brush!
The shadow sickle swung rapidly, cutting off the evil beasts and monkeys one after another, but the black mist surrounding them was extremely dense, which could fully supply the energy for the apes and evil beasts to recover.
After noticing this situation, Enzo couldn't help but frown.
"It makes no sense to continue like this."
Then, Enzo shook his head and no longer controlled the shadow scythe to attack. Instead, he summoned a shadow cage in an area around him.
The shadows quickly condensed to form a huge cage. Enzo was in it, facing the crazy attacks of the apes and evil beasts.
Squeak!
Outside, the evil beasts and apes screamed wildly, but their weak attack capabilities could not tear apart the shadow cage at all, and they could only fall into incompetent rage.
Enzo stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.
In fact, for Enzo, there are many ways to get rid of the siege of the evil beast ape. The simplest way is to use shadow disguise and directly blend into the shadow to escape.
However, at this time, it was only the outskirts of the dark sea of trees.
What kind of threats lie ahead are still unknown to Enzo at this moment, and rushing forward will only put himself in greater danger.
"We must first figure out what the rules of this area are." Enzo looked thoughtful.
If the evil beast ape can restore itself unlimitedly through the black mist, wouldn't it be equivalent to true immortality?
"Won't."
Enzo shook his head. The evil beast apes can recover themselves through the black mist, but the recovery speed is extremely limited. The evil beast apes that were completely cut off by the shadow sickle are still struggling on the ground, with flesh and blood wounds. The speed of peristaltic healing is visible to the naked eye.
"Try it."
Enzo thought for a moment, and then with a thought, he grabbed half of an evil beast ape and tore it open from the head.
squeak! ! !
An extremely sharp sound sounded, and after the head of the evil beast ape was torn apart, the scarlet eyes almost protruded, and the originally ferocious face became even more ugly.
Immediately afterwards, the evil beast ape remained motionless.
"As expected, he still has weaknesses."
Enzo shook his head and threw the broken corpse of the evil beast aside. The evil beast had turned into broken pieces of flesh and was squirming as if it still had vitality left.
Bang!
Enzo stepped down, crushing the mass of flesh and blood on the ground into pieces. Then, Enzo waved his hand, and the surrounding shadow cages automatically dispersed.
All around, the evil beasts and apes pounced on them crazily again.
And Enzo already knew their weaknesses. In the shadow field under his feet, shadow sickles rose like vines, and the demons danced wildly.
Swish, brush, brush!
With the crazy swing of the shadow sickle, the heads of each evil beast ape were smashed, and a large amount of black blood poured down, like a rain of blood.
Enzo stayed where he was.
The shadow above the head turned into a defensive cover. No matter the blood rain in the sky, it was blocked from the outside, as if it formed an independent field.
In a moment, hundreds of evil beasts and monkeys around them were killed. The black blood made the ground darker. Broken meat could be seen everywhere, and the head of an evil beast ape rolled towards them.
Enzo crushed it with one kick.
"Why do you feel so tired?"
Enzo's face turned slightly pale, with a solemn expression on his face. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the magic in his body and feeling a little surprised.
In just a short moment, one-third of the magic power in Enzo's body was consumed. This was a bit strange for Enzo, because what he faced was just a group of low-level evil beasts.
Even though the ape evil beasts can rely on the black mist to quickly recover themselves, in fact, they are still just a group of low-level evil beasts. After discovering their weaknesses, they can be cleaned up easily, and there should be no need to waste so much magic power.
