Game of the World Tree - Chapter 941

941. Chapter 933 Sunrise (Ten): Battle

“You are not Adrian, who are you?”

Athos raised his staff and pointed it at Adrian who fell to the ground.

His expression was more serious than ever.

Tony was stunned by this sudden scene.

But the next moment, he saw the other three team members who were also surprised suddenly became solemn, drew their weapons, stood beside Athos, and looked at Adrian who was bleeding.

Tony immediately understood and instantly shifted his sight, his eyes also fell on the young mage who fell to the ground.

The young mage looked blank and wide-eyed.

He lowered his head to look at the blood gushing out of the wound on his chest, then slowly raised his head, coughing up blood, and looked at Athos with sad and unbelievable eyes:

“Father…Father…I…I am Adrian…”

“Why…why?”

His eyes were full of grief.

A trace of pain flashed across Athos’s expression.

He took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had become firm:

“No…”

“My son is dead…”

“You are not my son, you are a monster in the ice castle!”

After hearing what Athos said, the young wizard’s eyes became even sadder.

He coughed up blood and stretched out his hand to Athos with difficulty. His eyes were full of strong attachment and sadness:

“Father…Father…”

“Father…Father!”

He repeated it over and over again, his voice getting louder and louder.

As he repeated it, pieces of flesh that kept wriggling gradually swelled up on his skin.

Blood gushed out from the penetrating wound on his chest, but…it was no longer a deep red color, but a foul black color that exuded a foul odor…

“Father…Father!”

He kept repeating, his body began to swell, his expression became ferocious, his clothes tore, and black hair and scales began to grow on his limbs… Soon, his body expanded to nearly three meters.

At the same time, his breath, along with his body changes, began to rise continuously.

“Let’s go together! Kill it!”

Athos roared.

As soon as the voice fell, the people who were ready for the battle shouted angrily and rushed towards the monster disguised as Adrian.

The battle broke out instantly.

However, at the moment when the two sides fought, the monster roared.

A strong aura spread from its body, and its thick arms grabbed the giant axe wielded by Bols, and then, in the horrified eyes of the other party, it threw the heavily armored warrior and his giant axe out like a toy, and directly fell on the distant wall.

A dull sound came, and Bols groaned, slowly slid down the cracked wall, and fell into a coma.

“Boles!”

Ramis exclaimed.

However, before he could do anything, a gust of evil wind blew, and he was hit in the chest by the monster before he could react.

With the sound of broken bones, Ramis spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then flew out like a broken sack, and hit Milel who was chanting a spell.

The metal armor hit the female mage, and there was another series of bone-breaking sounds. The huge inertia threw the two of them out and hit the wall.

They slowly slid down and never got up again…

All this happened in just a moment.

When Tony, who had the least combat experience, reacted, the entire team had lost most of their combat power, leaving only him and the old mage Athos.

Looking at the hideous, terrifying and extremely powerful monster, Tony was stunned, and his mood instantly sank to the bottom.

“Ramis! Mirel!”

Tony whispered and rushed over. When he touched the noses of several people and found that they were still breathing, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Roar–!”

A roar came from the monster’s mouth.

The terrifying pressure came with the smelly wind, which made Tony’s stomach churn, and he couldn’t help trembling all over, and his heart was horrified.

“Silver…!”

Athos looked very ugly.

He clenched his staff tightly, and his nails almost dug into his flesh.

“Father…why…”

the monster was still growling.

It has completely turned into a huge monster covered with scales and steel hair. Its yellow-green eyes, squeezed by tumors, looked at the old wizard frantically. Sticky and smelly mucus kept flowing out of its huge mouth with sharp fangs…

Looking at its gradually solidified horror, Athos’s eyes gradually became complicated.

“Shadow Devourer… Adrian… I’m late.”

He sighed slightly.

Shadow Devourer!

Tony’s heart trembled, and the battles of the past few days immediately emerged in his mind. The relevant knowledge about the monsters in the Western Continent that he had learned by cramming.

Among all the fallen monsters, this kind of monster was mentioned.

This kind of monster is often formed by the fall of wizards. It is powerful and has amazing magic power.

They crave flesh and magic power. Whenever they devour a new creature, they will become the other party’s appearance and obtain part of the other party’s soul and memory.

And in the process of continuous devouring, they will continue to improve their wisdom.

Thinking of this, Tony instantly understood the meaning of Athos’ words.

I’m afraid… the monster that turned into Adrian was right. Adrian was indeed a human mage who persisted to the end. However… in the end, it was not the monster that he defeated, but the monster that devoured him.

Not only that, the opponent’s strength was at least at the silver level!

This was no longer something he and Athos could contend with.

Even though he had the silver skill [Eagle Strike], he could only use it once.

When he first came, it was the silver monster that was seriously injured and he attacked by surprise, and he was also extremely lucky to be able to destroy the opponent. But in fact, along the way, when everyone encountered new silver monsters, they often had to take a detour to escape…

However, the place where the monster was located just blocked the road leading to the interior of the ice tower. If they could not continue to go deeper, but turned around and fled, they would lose the opportunity to break through the Wall of God’s Sigh…

No.

Even if they ran away, they might not be able to escape.

Tony heard from Bols that when facing a fallen monster that was stronger than him one-on-one, never think of running away.

Because you can’t escape at all, you can only fight desperately…

Although the current situation is not one-on-one, Tony knows that it is useless to escape with only the power of him and the old wizard.

After fighting for so long, he is no longer the rookie he used to be. With experience and the perception skills he exchanged, he can sense that the monster’s power is probably not ordinary silver.

At this moment, Tony found that the monster suddenly shifted its attention and turned its eyes to him.

To be more precise, it was the package around his waist.

There was the magic energy core they escorted.

Seeing the greedy eyes of the monster, Tony understood it instantly.

The magic energy core has abundant magic power.

For the Shadow Devourer Monster, this also has a fatal attraction.

This core cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the monster, otherwise… it is likely to be swallowed by it and eventually destroyed!

Tony thought to himself.

He glanced at the coordinates of his teammates from the Celestial Empire and shouted to Athos:

“Athos! I’ll hold him back! You take the energy core to the interior of the ice tower and close the Wall of God’s Sigh! Our reinforcements will be here soon!”

As he spoke, he pulled open the package on his waist and threw it to Athos.

However, just after he threw the package, Athos raised his hand, and the package seemed to have gained a force, and returned to his hand in front of Tony’s stunned eyes.

“No, Lord Tony, you go to the interior of the ice tower, and I’ll hold him back.”

He said with a firm look.

Tony was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to answer that he didn’t know the structure of the ice castle, nor was he a magician, let alone how to close the Wall of God’s Sigh.

However, as if he had guessed his thoughts, Athos’ voice continued:

“The center is at the highest point of the ice tower.”

“As for how to close it… just destroy it with force.”

“What about you! How can you possibly hold up such a powerful monster?!”

Tony shouted anxiously.

Athos smiled.

“That’s what I need to worry about.”

He said softly.

After saying this, he reached out and threw his tattered magic hat on the ground, and his back gradually straightened.

The next moment, the dark blue magic power burned on his body, and his aura suddenly surged.

Sorry, I suddenly had to work overtime, so this chapter is still short_(:з」∠)_
