170 Inviting an Apostle

The sword light touched the body of the Tauren King Sauta, and the black power quickly expanded outwards and merged with its blood, as if forming a dark red armor, trying to block the sword light outside the body, but in the end it failed. success.

From the initial combination of two swords into one to the current combination of three swords, the improvement in power of Tang Hao's One-Sword Shura is by no means as simple as two plus one. The superposition of each sword is a qualitative breakthrough, thus making This force amplified in a geometric form, cutting through the dark red armor in an instant, tearing apart Sauta's body...

Poof!

The next moment, blood filled the sky, Sauta's body was almost split in half, and he fell heavily backwards.

boom!

After the body landed, Sauta's life energy began to flow away. At the same time, the dark power also began to dim. It seemed that it could not stay in a dying body for a long time. Then the body of the Tauren King appeared to the naked eye. It began to shrink at a visible speed and soon returned to its original shape.

At the moment of death, Sauta's violent consciousness finally came to his senses.

"I...I still want to...protect the forest..."

Sauta put his hands on the ground and tried hard to stand up. At the end of his life, the last thought in his heart was still to protect the forest. Perhaps, after being invaded by the dark power, the creatures it saw were all invaders who wanted to destroy the forest, so it became so violent that it lost its mind.

But now, it no longer has the strength to stand up.

"It's over." Celia walked to it, ignoring the bloody scene, and said softly, "Everything is over. Guardian of the forest, you have completed your duties, rest in peace."

"Really...everything is over..."

Seemingly understanding something, Sauta grinned and died.

Celia knelt down and gently closed her eyes for it.

Next to them, Kirito and Asuna looked a little uncomfortable. They tried their best in the battle, because there was nothing they could do about it. Facing a powerful enemy like Sauta, if they didn't use their full strength, they would be the ones who died. But listening to the forest guardian's words before his death, why do I suddenly feel that they are the villains?

Asuna looked gloomy, walked to Tang Hao and helped him up, "President..."

Tang Hao shook his head and said nothing. The sword Shura just struck had drained his energy. Now even a seven-year-old child could knock him down. Talking was a waste of energy.

However, he still understood a little bit about Kirito and Asuna's feelings.

It’s not an illusion, the adventurer is the villain!

Anyone who knows a little bit about the story of Arad continent knows that the so-called adventurers are just Held's puppets. All actions are under Held's control and calculation, especially in the game script. The adventurer is simply thinking with his butt and has no brain at all.

Maybe this is what Yakumo Murasaki means by vision. Most people in the world can only notice the things in front of them, and then act because of the things in front of them, which becomes a matter of course.

Soon, Celia finished handling Sauta's funeral affairs, came to the three of them, and said: "Are you adventurers? Thank you for saving me. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know what would have happened. Woolen cloth."

"You're welcome, we just did it casually." Kirito said with a smile. Now that Tang Hao couldn't speak, he did it for him. "Speaking of which, doesn't it matter if you leave it like that? Do you want to dig a hole and bury it? What?"

"No need." Celia shook her head, "Everyone living in the forest believes in the laws of nature. They were born in nature and return to nature after death. There is no need for cremation or burial. Their bodies will be divided among other animals. Food is part of giving back to nature.”

"That's really not a waste at all." Asuna complained softly.

While speaking, Asuna also looked at Celia carefully. In her original imagination, this girl who was first kidnapped by Sauta and then experienced death threats should have been panicked and wanted to return immediately. Family is right, but now it seems that Celia is not panicked at all, and even looks calmer than them.

However, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he had something on his mind.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Celia Crummin."

We already know your name.

Asuna said in her heart and said, "My name is Asuna, he is Kirito, and this is Tang Hao, the leader of our adventure group... Also, is this your bracelet?"

The bracelet that Toby picked up before was later asked for by Tang Hao, but after all, it was an accessory worn by women. He looked at it and didn't think there was anything strange, so he gave it to Asuna. Now Asuna has it again. He handed it back to Celia.

"Ah, this is indeed my bracelet." Celia took it and looked at it, smiling, "I thought I would never see it again, thank you."

"Anyway, it would be great if the property can be returned to its original owner. So what are your plans now?"

"Plan..." Celia turned around and glanced at Sauta's body again, frowning slightly, "Actually, there is one thing I'm more worried about. Sauta brought me here to let me Repair the great magic circle, it says that the great magic circle has been damaged and something bad has leaked out.”

"Great magic circle? What is that?" Kirito asked.

"The Great Magic Circle is an enchantment created by the late Great Magician Mar. Many years ago, the continent of Arad was a continent located in the underwater world. It was the collaboration of the Great Magician Mar and the ancient elves that transformed this continent into Pulled up, there is now the Arad continent."

"The continent of Arad was pulled up from the bottom of the sea?" These words surprised Kirito and Asuna. Although they didn't know much about this world, they had heard Tang Hao talk about it. This world is inhabited by humans, elves, and orcs. Unexpectedly, the continent, ruled by countless races and divided into several countries, was actually pulled up from the bottom of the sea.

Regardless of the creatures on the continent, even if it is just the continent itself, how much strength is needed to pull it up?

This was something they could hardly imagine.

Tang Hao knew about this and was not surprised. However, after hearing it again from Celia, he couldn't help but think that the legendary great magician Mar's strength might not be inferior to that of the apostle.

Celia nodded and continued, "At the same time, Marr also created a large magic circle to protect the continent of Arad from being invaded by evil forces from outside. The core of this large magic circle is in the Grand Forest. It has always been It was guarded by the elves, but something happened later, and a fire broke out in the Grand Forest, causing all the elves to be wiped out. From then on, the great magic circle was left unattended."

"Isn't that dangerous?" Asuna frowned.

"That's not the case." Celia smiled and shook her head, "After all, the big magic circle is related to the safety of the entire Arad continent. Therefore, Marr used strong defensive methods when creating it. In addition to fighting with Marr The elves with you, ordinary people cannot affect it at all, which is one of the reasons why the elves manage the great magic circle."

Although ordinary people can't, it would be different if they were apostles... Tang Hao said secretly.

"I see." Asuna suddenly realized, but then she thought of a question.

The Great Magic Array is the strongest barrier created by Marr, guarding the entire continent of Arad. Now that Marr and the elves are dead, it is understandable that the unmanaged Grand Magic Array has been destroyed for unknown reasons.

But since Celia said that only elves can manage and maintain the great magic circle, and the reason why Sauta kidnapped Celia was to repair the great magic circle, is it possible...

Asuna immediately looked at Tang Hao, Celia was an elf, he never said this!

She always thought that Celia was just an ordinary human girl.

As soon as she learned that Celia might be an elf, Asuna became more interested in her and asked quickly: "Can you repair the great magic circle?"

"I don't know..." Celia looked embarrassed, but soon her eyes became firm, "But I want to take a look. If the great magic circle is really destroyed, we must do it no matter what. Find a way to repair it, otherwise, not only the Grand Forest, but the entire Arad continent will face disaster."

Didi didi

As Celia's words fell, before Kirito and Asuna could sigh at the fragility of the Arad continent, prompt sounds came from their game panels at the same time.

Tang Hao also picked up the phone and opened it to take a look.

[Phase mission completed]

[The number of people who can join the chat room in the current world is 3, and the number of people who can be invited is 1]

[Persons who can be invited: Celia*Krumin (high), Aganzo (high), Kelly*Delane (middle), Apostle Lotus (extremely high), Apostle Derich (extremely high), Any adventurer (low)]

[Choose to invite people to trigger tasks]

Tang Hao was immediately shocked when he saw it.

Regardless of NPCs like Celia Aganzo, can even the apostle be invited? Although the difficulty is expected, if the apostles are really invited, will their mission be to make enemies of the adventurers?

Making an enemy of an adventurer... seems to be even harder than fighting Held.

Moreover, the adventurer turns out to be so unlucky, and the difficulty is actually low!

Who to invite? Kirito and Asuna immediately looked at Tang Hao.

"Invite the apostles, needless to say!" Kaguya immediately expressed her opinion in the chat room.

Indeed, if apostles can be invited, the combat power of the chat room will be greatly improved. Moreover, among all the apostles, these two apostles who can be invited have gentle personalities, especially Di Ruiji. No matter in every aspect, it can be regarded as the kindest apostle, but...does anyone really dare to contact Di Ruigi?

At least at this stage, Tang Hao doesn't want to challenge this kind of death and no life thing.

But, he still has to choose an apostle!

Because there is also the third apostle Celia among them!

Although the official did not clearly state that Sayari is an apostle, there is no way she is not an apostle anyway!
