Chapter 1773: Eruption in Silence
According to known intelligence, the ruler is sleeping in the third block of Bone Harbor. Lin Jiu went straight to the third block. He had just killed a blind guy, which was also a warning to others. No one dared to wander in front of him again.
Maybe that guy was not blind, but was just pushed out to test his role. When Isabella took action, they kept their distance, because this killing method was a supernatural power, and there was only one kind of supernatural person in Heru City, that is, wizards. They dared not offend wizards at all. Don't forget that this is the headquarters of the Wizard Association.
Lin Jiu came to the third block and locked his eyes on several stone buildings here.
"Let's go." Lin Jiu was not sure where the ruler was, but it was not a big problem. He could just test the stone buildings one by one. As long as he got near there, the power of the ruler would naturally pull him in.
In the simple folk customs of Bone Harbor, Lin Jiu was attacked one after another while exploring the stone buildings. However, Lin Jiu was not a bloodthirsty person. He did not kill the other party because they were just treating Lin Jiu as a burglar and fighting back.
"Found it!"
Lin Jiu stared at the black and rotten floor. As soon as he entered the house, he was locked by a force. This force was terrifying, twisted, and corrupt, and it was obviously from the ancient gods.
Gun Gun stood in front of him, Isabella was on the left, and Lin Jiu's hand was on the hilt of the sword.
The silver-white sword light flashed, and a dark and shiny tentacle fell to the ground, still twisting. His sword was not as sharp as Su Xiao's knife, but his speed was better. How could the opponent's tentacles sneak attack him?
"Withdraw." Knowing that the stone house inside was the territory of the ruler Sothos, Lin Jiu would naturally not drill in. It was the right way to lure him out and kill him. It can be seen that this ruler Sothos was a bit weird. He was obviously in a deep sleep, but he woke up from his sleep the moment Lin Jiu approached.
Lin Jiu remembered that in the original book, when Su Xiao approached Sothoth, he needed the white goat clone to appear and wake him up. Otherwise, if Sothoth was still in a sleeping state, Su Xiao could have a set of silky small combos to weaken the opponent before the full battle.
The sword energy enveloped the corridor in front, crushing the black tentacles. Gun Gun and Isabella had already retreated outside the stone building. Lin Jiu covered their rear and jumped out of the window beside them, throwing a compressed solar fireball into the stone house.
This compressed solar fireball is equivalent to an unfinished version of Apollo's fireball. It will be less powerful, but compared to ordinary bombs, it will be much more powerful. At least the surrounding area cannot be avoided. Before exploring the stone building, Lin Jiu had already notified the residents in the surrounding area that the wizards would take action and evacuate as soon as possible. Staying here will be at your own risk.
He joined the Wizard Association, so he was naturally considered a member of the Wizard Association. It was reasonable to do things under the name of the Wizard Association. The notice has been sent. Whether the residents are willing to listen or not is none of Lin Jiu's business.
Boom!
The pale flame swept out, turning the area into a sea of fire.
This is the Flame of the End in the Solar Flame. It is more powerful than the regular Solar Flame. Most importantly, the Flame of the End contains a momentum of destroying everything. This makes the Flame of the End the most powerful flame among the Solar Flames that Lin Jiu has mastered, except for the True Flame.
The True Flame is an unconventional flame ability, so the Flame of the End is the most powerful flame that Lin Jiu can master. But he rarely uses it, because the powerful power of the Flame of the End is at the cost of completely burning out the power of the sun.
As the master of the Sun Bird Mark, the Son of the Sun, how could he use the Flame of the End at the cost of permanently consuming the power of the sun in the world? What's the difference between that and the caster who swallows elements to grow?
But in this world, Lin Jiu has no such concerns. Because of the sucking of the ancient gods, the power of the sun has begun to decay and go to extinction. Lin Jiu was giving them the final burst, a counterattack against the ancient gods.
Either burst out in silence or perish in silence. If there was no Lin Jiu, the solar power of this world would only completely dissipate as the sun dimmed.
When the solar power heading for destruction encountered Lin Jiu, who could transform it into the Flame of the End, at the moment the battle began, they rushed to Lin Jiu frantically, expecting him to turn them into a force for counterattack.
This is why Lin Jiu condensed and compressed the fireball so quickly. Under normal circumstances, it takes a little time to compress an unfinished version of the Apollo fireball. And just now, the fireball was condensed almost in the few seconds of evacuation.
Perhaps the solar power of this world has been suppressed for too long, and after turning into the Flame of the End, the explosive power is stronger than the Flame of the End that Lin Jiu has used before. Directly blew away the remaining half of the stone building.
And where the stone building was originally located, a twisted crack appeared in the air. This crack was like ripples on the water, exuding a strange aura, and it was still two meters away from the ground.
"This feeling... isn't it the power of space!?" Lin Jiu felt this familiar power, and his pupils shrank suddenly. This is not the power of space at all. Could it be that the ruler Sothoth is not here?
Tick, tick~
Black mucus dripped from the cracks. At first, it was just a drop. After a few seconds, it was like a valve was released, and the black mucus surged. Shiny tentacles could be seen inside.
This black liquid reminded Lin Jiu of the ancient god believer they met halfway before. The two were very similar. But if I remember correctly, that guy was a believer of the black goat Shabu.
Now it should be said that he is the incarnation of the white goat. The power bestowed is likely to be borrowed from Sothoth through a ritual. Using the power of other ancient gods to gather their own believers, the position of this god is considered to be played out by the white goat.
However, the existence of the ancient gods is different from ordinary gods. They will not actively develop believers. It is those believers who accidentally peeked into the existence of the ancient gods and then fanatically believe in them. Most people who peeked into the existence of the ancient gods will develop into two types, one is a fanatical believer, and the other is Lawrence and others who attempt to kill the gods.
In most cases, the ancient gods will not respond to their believers, but the guy they met halfway got feedback. Now it seems that the guy is more like the role deliberately arranged by the incarnation of the white goat to test them.
In a maximum of one minute, a large pool of black mucus flowed out, affecting the surrounding area of several hundred meters. Lin Jiu and Isabella rolled out of the range. The flame of the end that originally covered the area came into contact with the black mucus, making a sizzling sound, and wisps of black smoke continued to rise.
When the flame of the end dissipated, the black mucus became much thinner with the naked eye, and a thin layer covered the ground. This made the distortion around it suddenly weakened a lot.
"It's still the ruler Sothoth, but it seems a little different..." Lin Jiu, who saw the whole process, can be sure that the target that appears now is still Sothoth, but it is different from the Sothoth he knows. But no matter what, what is the difference, as long as it is Sothoth, it is enough.
