Chapter 460: Those fancy things
Lind stood on the rubble of the colossi, watching the golden ghosts gather and quickly rush towards the colossi, hacking and gnawing at the magical defenses on their bodies.

Wherever they passed, only broken boulders were left. The powerful colossi and giant beasts that the entire Gravel Mountain Range was unable to resist were helpless in front of this group of ghosts that could ignore physical attacks.

Tione was wearing a set of mechanical light armor long skirt, with tall black boots popping out from the corners of the skirt. The fragments of the magic ring behind her head condensed into a long sword. Her fighting style has not changed much, and she is still mainly "growing mushrooms". As a "Ring Sister" with huge fragments, Tione does not need to consider the energy consumption when outputting. She can output unlimitedly without getting tired. Although the upper limit has been compressed, the high-frequency bombing is not something that ordinary enemies can withstand.

Especially when facing a group of giant beasts of about 3 rings, Tione swept them away with her sword, and the mushroom cloud devoured them all, leaving only scattered corpses on the ground.

During the year when the undead disappeared, Lind led the team to travel around and develop in the direction of rangers. Their goal was to collect materials for legendary potions and explore some treasure sites, and their overall strength was improved.

It is not important to gain fame, because what Linde cares more about is not the fame brought by the Black Knight vest. He hopes that the undead people will recognize "Linde Arman". However, the advantage of having a vest is that you can do things more freely.

The biggest problem recently arose in a dispute with a beast king. They had their eyes on the same magic potion and fought each other, but in the end, Linde was the better and bought it with money.

If he had known this earlier, he could have just spent the money. Why bother fighting to the death? The wealth on him was what the undead people had obtained by winning over half of Lionheart Castle. He could never spend it all.

Within a year, the reputation of the Black Knight completely surpassed that of the Undead.

Even though he was famous, no one knew the fighting style of the Black Knights. All they knew was that although they were few in number, one man could form an army, and that they were powerful and rarely defeated.

"There are no mountain king-level monsters, so overall it's easy to deal with." Lind stopped and had no intention of taking action. He just needed to watch his men take action.

Even William's strength has been improved within this year, and he has been successfully promoted to epic level.

For example, Nur of the Mechanicus, with the financial support of Lind and the accumulation of various precious materials, he was a follower of the Plover School who was not good at making external equipment and weapons, but he was transformed into a weapon master.

"I heard from Scar that the other side of the Gravel Mountains is connected to another strange country."

The last time he came, he wanted to collect more fragments of the magic ring, but he found that the fragments brought by the beast tide outbreak were very scarce and the frequency was not high, so he took the team away to busy himself with other things.

Since then, Scar has been reporting to him about the situation in the Gravel Mountains, but most of the time they were just minor incidents. They were even able to organize teams to explore in depth, and no major problems occurred.

Now the legendary potions have been almost collected, only the legendary Heart of Disaster is missing. Lind's plan is to get in touch with the "Abyss" that he has not contacted for a long time. If the best way to obtain the legendary Heart of Disaster is to get it from the Abyss, however, contacting the "Abyss" is very likely to make the undead return early.

He must be adequately prepared and grasp the information about unexplored places in his own hands before the undead may return to ensure his information advantage.

But according to the information he got from the Beast King and the Beast Lord, the Gravel Mountains were just a relatively remote magical valley area, and no particularly powerful warriors appeared there.

"What shall we eat tonight? I heard from Scar that the meat of those giant beasts tastes delicious." Linde thought, this level of war was not something he took seriously at all. What he missed more was having a good chef to help him prepare delicious food.

Surrounding him are the nun with three rings who has no aspirations, the Husky who only wants to improve his strength, and the iron lump who has ascended mechanically. His life is full of boredom. Only Scar is a little slick, but Scar's craftsmanship is not very good.

It's such a waste that the only way to process good ingredients is to roast or fry them.

……

Piling up materials, bombing, invincible.

The colossi, which were the main force of the distant attack in the beast tide, completely lost their threat because they were entangled by the ghosts, and the wind direction on the battlefield quickly changed.

The leader of the Red Kite Magic Artillery Regiment looked at the followers of the Plover School who were killing people everywhere and opened his mouth slightly.

Are these still the iron lumps who believe in "mechanical ascension"? Why did they suddenly start firing? Moreover, the power of the fire is even stronger, directly washing the ground. Then what is our Hornbill School!
Golden Claw Kuai Ke looked at the tyrant figure standing on the battlefield. Hearing about him was not as good as meeting him in person. He looked at the powerful figure of the god of war who made a strong appearance and could feel his arrogance.

The cloaked figure simply standing there on the ruined battlefield seemed invincible and awe-inspiring.

He should be thinking about how to win this war... No, maybe he is already thinking about what will happen after the war is won.

"Why doesn't he attack?" Scar's sister asked. If the Black Knight participated in the war, perhaps the war would end faster.

"I don't know. He must be thinking about more important things." Gold Claw Quick admired the Black Knight very much. "But he came. I am very grateful."

Thank God, the bombardment finally stopped, and the tide of behemoths was blocked by the Black Knight Legion like a flood blocked by a gate, and they returned empty-handed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In the trenches on the front line, hundreds of wounded soldiers were crowded here. This was the last hiding place. Since they were injured in the war, they could only hide here and pray for the end of the war.

The long fight seemed to last for countless years, it was long and exhausting.

The people around him slumped against the ruins, gasping for breath, their bodies twisted by the tremendous force. Even though this was a magical world, it would take a very long time to fully recover, but fortunately everyone survived.

Some people began to pull their colleagues beside them out of the rubble. The joy of being alive washed away the pain in their bodies, but the joy soon disappeared because they had lost more.

No one can taste the joy of victory, and only emptiness is left. If no strong reinforcements appear, what awaits them will be darkness, a darkness that can engulf their entire world.

"Thank you for your help, Black Knight!" Gold Claw Quick walked towards Lind.

Despite being a 5-ring warrior, he is very humble.

"It's just a piece of cake." Linde replied.

"Without your help, we..." Gold Claw Quick wanted to say something else, as if it was a speech of gratitude for being rescued after the victory of the war.

Lind raised his hand to interrupt the other party. As the stronger party, he was qualified to "skip the conversation."

"The war is not over yet, sir." Lind looked towards the Gravel Mountains, "Our target is over there."

In the past, Lind would not care about the beast tide at all. He even wanted to open a "Monster Hunter Experience Zone" for the undead after they came online. However, after discovering the appearance of the Colossus, his thoughts changed.

Puppet magic creations are knowledge that even the Mechanicus does not master.

Whether used in war or for defense, it is a very important technology. His knowledge collection habit has struck again.

"What?" Gold Claw Quick was startled and looked in the direction Lind was facing.

Counterattack the Gravel Mountains?

For a long time, they who had the Eternal Summer's Nest as their territory had been able to rely mainly on resistance when facing the beast tide from the Gravel Mountains. Not to mention now that they had lost their strong men, they would not have been able to counterattack even at their strongest.

At that time, they had a large number of 5-ring warriors!
...on the other side of the Gravel Mountains.

In a secret room on the charred and rugged magical wasteland, the war outside was being projected on a magic circle.

Hundreds of wizards wearing pointed hats were shaking, and every time a colossus collapsed, a wizard would fall down in fear.

"Damn it!" Van Dijk gritted his teeth.

Located south of the Gravel Mountains, it is considered to be a magical scorched earth abandoned in the edge of the Demonic Land. Unlike the rich and fertile Demonic Land, there is no life here, only twisted rocks and dead trees that can never be detected to have any signs of life.

If we say that the entire ecology of Xilu Continent underwent earth-shaking changes after the collapse of the Magic Ring, at least there was still magic and new era life, then this scorched earth can be called a land of death.

The past civilization has not left any trace here. Even the scattered ruins have been eroded by time and cannot be distinguished from their age. They are of no value at all.

Van Dyk came from other dimensions. He had heard many stories about the great "Devil's Land" and hoped to go to a new world. To this end, he gathered the power of the entire country, even plundering and plundering every bit of value from every life.

He was not doing this for his own selfish reasons; he hoped to leave with the seeds and go to a greater place to find a greater future.

Life is about exploration, sacrificing part of the race and allowing another part of the elite to embark on a longer journey. He succeeded, but not completely. He was trapped here, accidentally trapped in this scorched earth.

And there are terrible monsters here, so Van Dijk can only hide and grow slowly, looking for a way to escape.

The Colossus was the knowledge he brought with him. After countless attempts, he discovered that the behemoth contained rare minerals and various magical materials, so Van Dyk returned to his old profession and began to make the Colossus.

"My lord, they are coming, those ghosts! Those damned beasts, don't dare to mess with them!"

"Use magic to stop them!"

挡？
Unstoppable.

Lind fully exerted his ultimate speed, and was carried by the molten gold ghosts, turning into a ball of golden wind and rushing forward.

The weak giant beast was split into two halves by his sword. The attack of the Soul Blade can ignore defense and cause real damage. It is simply the nemesis of these giant beasts that rely on their powerful and bulky bodies to bully others.

"There's not a single magical aura. Is this place really abandoned? Isn't it called the Land of Magic?"

Lind looked ahead. The Gravel Mountain Range was like a huge ecosystem. It took Lind a very long time to pass through it. By the time he passed through it, Tionne, William, Noor and the others had been completely left behind by him. It would probably take three to five days for them to catch up.

With the new equipment and [Ghost Cloak], Lind's flying and running speeds have surpassed the flying dragon Alex who is still in the Rand Kingdom. Now his greatest advantage is speed. He can use extremely fast speed and various emblems to burst out deadly attacks.

A scorched shallow beach.

Further away is the endless sea horizon lost in darkness and fog, and that is where the giant beast comes from.

They are not products of this continent, but migrated from a certain plane.

Lind even noticed that some giant beasts just passed by and then left quickly. They didn't like this place, so they didn't stay.

His eyes quickly locked onto it, and a familiar aura suddenly came over him.

"abyss?"

I was having a headache about not being able to find the other person, but I didn't expect that he would come to me on his own initiative.

However, it is not a good sign that Abyss suddenly takes the initiative to pull people in.

……

"I answer your call!"

Van Dijk fell to his knees, he had no way out.

He fully understood that the power brought with it a chilling temptation that would lead people to depravity, but Van Dyk had no choice but to let go of himself and completely accept that power in order to defeat the mysterious strong man who suddenly appeared and turn the war around.

Power poured into Van Dyk's body, and he found himself losing control of his body in an instant. His heartbeat slowed down, and his throat seemed to be filled with something. Sticky liquid overflowed from his mouth and nose, and turned into sticky filaments like fungal mats, which quickly parasitized on the surface of his skin pores and wrapped around his entire head.

There was uncontrollable coughing amidst the panting, and blood clots were coughed out from the throat.

Van Dijk was horrified to find that his consciousness was weakening, and as powerful force surged into his body, life was quickly being drained from him.

The worries were soon buried by the joy brought by the growing strength.

Van Dijk looked up and could see a glimpse of the blue sky through the gap in the secret room.

He raised his hand, and the surrounding stones and elements automatically combined to form a new colossus, which broke through the secret room.

The "seeds" around him who were brought into a new world by him were tragically killed or injured.

Van Dijk stood on the shoulder of the colossus, looking at the figure wrapped in the fluttering cloak. He could feel that the other party's strength was not as strong as his own.

He pushed his hands forward, and the magic eye in the colossus's head began to gather energy in circles.

Lind suddenly dodged and rushed towards the colossus, his body turned into a trail of flames that pierced through the clouds, and crashed down towards the colossus's head, piercing it with the soul blade in his hand.

"You really should learn from the undead. You cast the bar in front of me during a fight? Don't you know that the most important thing in PVP is to deal real damage without pre-swing? What's the point of all those fancy tricks?"

The explosion at close range in advance blew Van Dijk away, and the pus on his body was shaken away, revealing part of his skin.

"Why... so powerful." Van Dijk didn't understand.

He saw death.
