Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 21 The Devil Comes
In the chaotic and turbulent era, a saint catastrophe occurred that spread to the entire multiverse, and all gods were forced to come to the main material world in the form of saints.

No one knows exactly what caused it, even those who know will bury this secret deeply in their hearts.

The catastrophe of the saints, the gods came to the mortal world as saints, which made the plane barrier of the main material world weaker and weaker, giving the demons and demons of the bottomless abyss and the nine hells an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is how a chaotic fight started.

Although it ended in a tragic victory to drive away these evil creatures, what was left was a devastated land.

The most serious one is the Silk Road leading to the continent of Karatu.

It used to be the main battlefield of the demons, where the bloodiest and cruelest wars took place. Nine-ring spells, legendary spells, and even legendary spells with ten rings or higher were bombed and baptized one after another.

On the vast land of the Silk Road, the cracks from the abyss have not yet fully healed, and the areas of dead demons, strong radiation areas, space distortions, and cracks from the abyss and hell frequently appear.

The three most powerful guards there, the Silver Blade, Fort of Atonement, and the Dawn Crusade, were only struggling to support it.

The main reason for this situation is that the plane barrier of the Silk Road was completely destroyed.

The reason why Thorne knew so much was because Nolan told him that apart from the background information during the game promotion, she was a paladin and knew a lot about Misin in the turbulent era.

However, a crack in the abyss suddenly appeared above Cold Winter City. Does it indicate that a brutal war once took place here, resulting in varying degrees of damage to the plane barrier here.

Then it was used by some people who had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and forcibly opened a gap through evil rituals.

If this is the case, then Winter City may really be over.

Thorne couldn't help but glanced at the Wizard Tower with some concern.

A large city with nearly 20 people is occupied by these monsters from the abyss. The degree of tragedy is really unimaginable.

However, when Thorne observed it carefully, he finally discovered the abnormal shape of the crack.

It is not as big as imagined, and the diameter suspended in midair is about 50 centimeters.

At this time, the crack seemed to be about to take shape, and Thorne could even feel the screams of various monsters from the abyss.

If the crack is only this big, then at least large demons cannot reach the main material world.

An invisible energy suddenly spread to the entire Winter City.

Ow!

Suddenly, a soul-penetrating roar came from the sky above Winter City. This creepy sound exuded powerful pressure and penetrated directly into the depths of Thorn's soul.

Ah!
The tingling sensation penetrating the soul made Thorne's head hurt like being hit by a sledgehammer, and Thorne couldn't resist in the end.

He rolled on the ground, holding his head tightly with his hands, his eye sockets were covered with scarlet blood, and his delicate face was full of deep fear.

Invaded by the Territory of Fear!

Will saving throw in progress!
Will save failed!

Into a state of fear!
Duration 10 seconds!
……

Above Cold Winter City, various smaller abyssal demons scrambled out of the blood-red abyss crack.

The densely packed quasimoons flapped a pair of small leather wings, screamed, and flew towards the densest crowd to spread fear.

There are also many cowards who do not have the ability to fly. After they drilled out of the crack, they screamed in mid-air, and then fell hard to the ground.

The huge head of a berserker demon protruded from the crack, struggling to squeeze its huge body out of the narrow crack.

……

Yeenoghu's avatar floated in the night, looking down at the entire city, seeing all the humans who were trapped in the coercion and fear of the domain, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then gently waved his arms.

——Summon the Abyss Gnoll Legion!

—— Summon an army of abyssal ghouls!

——Summon the Abyss Demon Legion!
Three summoning rays of light floated in Winter City.

Roar!
A group of Berserkers looked like huge and strong humanoid toads. They opened their mouths wide to reveal powerful fangs, roared like venting, exuded a disgusting stench and began to destroy crazily.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, a large number of abyss gnolls stepped out of the portal. Their pitch-black skin was covered with dark manes, and the most conspicuous thing was the row of ferocious spikes on their backs.

Ow!

The abyss gnoll opened its bloody mouth wide and let out a high-spirited roar. Its blood-red eyes scanned all directions, looking for the so-called prey.

……

Call ~
Thorn, who had just recovered, was leaning against the corner, leaning on a long sword, panting violently. His clothes were wet with cold sweat all over his body, which made the already cold night even worse at this moment.

Although this state of fear only lasted 10 seconds, for someone like Thorn who had experienced it personally, it was like a day.

Since the players have all traveled to another world, the function of freely adjusting the pain level has also disappeared, so the pain he suffered is real.

Territory of fear?

Seeing the prompt on the system's panel, Thorn was shocked. Generally, as long as it involves domains, it has something to do with the gods.

Although the catastrophe of the saints has long since ended, the gods cannot appear on the main material plane, but they can still appear through incarnations.

What happened to Winter City during the turbulent years?Even the incarnation of the gods has descended, what a hatred!
Roar!
Suddenly, Thorne smelled a strong rancid smell, and then heard a hoarse roar.

Ah!
With a scream from the player, the players who had recovered from fear were frightened, and all moved towards Thorn. Thorn immediately stood up with the long sword in his hand.

It's a ghoul!

No, this ghoul is very abnormal. Thorne saw the ghoul gnawing on the player's corpse not far away.

The skin of an ordinary ghoul has a dark red rotten appearance, and it exudes a strong smell of corpses.

But besides being relatively tall, the ghoul in front of him had pure black rotting skin, and the stench was mixed with a pungent sulfur breath.

Abyss ghoul!
It seems that the incarnation of the gnoll Yeenoghu has descended!
Seeing the ghoul and the howling of wolves from a distance, Thorne immediately judged the situation in front of him.

Because Dorisan, the king of ghouls, was conquered by Yeenoghu, the king of gnolls, Yeenoghu also had the ability to summon abyssal ghouls.

So Thorne took off the composite longbow at an extremely fast speed, and drew out the arrow.

collapse!
As soon as the bowstring reverberated, a howling piercing arrow pierced fiercely into the dark skin of the abyssal ghoul.

The powerful impact of the arrow instantly made the abyss ghoul back again and again.

It can also break the defense!

Thorne immediately judged the general situation of the abyssal ghoul, and he relaxed a little.

——Second ring spell: Ma Youfu acid arrow!

At this time, Warlock Andrina took the opportunity to wave the staff in her hand, and a dark green arrow shot at the abdomen of the abyss ghoul at an extremely fast speed.

There was a sizzling sound immediately, but the corrosion effect was not very good.

"These monsters from the abyss have high magic resistance. It is difficult for spells below the fourth ring to cause effective damage. Don't waste your time." Thorne said after seeing the effect of Andelina's spell.

Andelina glanced at Thorne upon hearing this, frowned slightly, snorted and stopped talking.

Roar!
The abyss ghoul, which had suffered damage from arrows and spells, showed no trace of fear in its eyes. It waved its blood-stained claws and rushed towards Thorne.

"Stand back!" Thorne reminded, holding a long sword.

Then he directly greeted the abyss ghoul.

puff!

Thorne's flexible body instantly avoided the swing of the abyssal ghoul, dodged behind it, and the long sword in his hand took the opportunity to pierce the body of the abyssal ghoul.

Zizizi!
Accompanied by the burning sound of the long sword, the abyss ghoul was kicked to the ground by Thorne. It lay powerlessly on the ground and struggled a few times before dying.

Target is dead!
Extract the soul energy of the target and gain 1000 experience points!
Get 100 practice points through understanding the battle!
It seems that the abyssal ghoul summoned by the avatar is not as powerful as imagined, and the challenge level is at most around level 6.

After all, if the incarnation of the gods does not count the domains they have mastered, their strength is probably at the level of high-level legends.

Thorne looked at the dead abyss ghoul and thought to himself.

Then he looked at the ring of the paladin on the index finger of his right hand. When the long sword pierced the ghoul in the abyss just now, he clearly felt a pale white sacred power emanating from the ring.

It was because of this power that the abyssal ghoul was beheaded by Thorne with a single sword, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort.

This should be the power attached to sanctioning evil. Nolan must have left Winter City long ago. The appearance of that paladin girl suddenly appeared in Thorne's mind.

Then he shook his head to get rid of these distracting thoughts, motioned everyone to follow, and walked forward.

It can't stay here for long, the demons from the deep will soon continue to emerge through the cracks.

At this time, Winter City was completely in chaos. There were traces of demons and gnolls everywhere in the city. The army on the city wall was still resisting the gnoll tribe and the hobgoblin army.

It is only a matter of time before the enemy dies.

Not far away, Thorn saw several sahuagin besieging an abyssal ghoul.

So he ignored them, and led everyone to hurry towards the sewer. Only leaving Cold Winter City is truly safe.
