Under the endless ocean, the jungle guardians who came from afar faced endless water element creations, and for a while they fell into a deep and bitter battle.
In the center where everyone is surrounded is a piece of shining ice. Inside the crystal clear ice, there is a moving figure in green and white robes. That is the target of many jungle guardians coming to rescue, Guardian Jenny. . It's just that Jenny seems to have lost consciousness at the moment, and there is no breath coming from his whole body. His whole body seems to be integrated with the ice sealing himself and the ice blue sword tightly held in his palm.
"Lord Malkaim, what should we do now?"
Seeing that many of the Jungle Guardian's masters fell under the siege of the water element creations, an anxious elf couldn't help but ask the leading dwarf.
Malkem also felt very embarrassed. He was not responsible for this rescue mission, but Alyssa, who was responsible for the mission, was targeted by the most threatening water elemental monarch as soon as she arrived on the water elemental plane, and was immediately attacked by a The ferocious rapids dispersed and disappeared under the endless ocean. The entire team fell into a state of losing command.
With the disappearance of Alyssa, the important task of command now falls on the fourth-ranked dwarf hero Malkem according to the order of seats of the Jungle Guardian. Seeing that many jungle guardians participating in the mission have turned their attention to themselves, what they see in their eyes is not the slightest hint of retreat, but a sense of entrusting their lives. Even if Malkem wants them to sacrifice, they will never There would be a little bit of flinching, and Malkem also felt deeply the weight of his responsibility and hurriedly asked:
"Have you awakened Guardian Jenny? Can you bring her out of the ice?"
However, the answers from the jungle guardians made Malkem's heart sink: "That layer of ice is too strong. We have no way to destroy it, and we have no way to contact the guardian Jenny in the ice. The only thing we can be sure of is Yes, Jenny is alive and well."
"I knew it would be like this. The ice condensed by the Ice Sword was enough to block the attack of the Water Elemental Monarch. Even the Elemental Monarch was helpless against Jenny in the ice. That's why she kept insisting. How could it be so easy to be destroyed by us when we came to rescue? It’s just that because it was frozen for too long, Jenny gradually lost consciousness, and even trying to communicate with her was impossible."
In order to defend against the attack of the water elemental monarch, Jenny used the power of the Ice Sword to raise an iceberg in the depths of the ocean and sealed herself in it. Although she waited for the rescue of the jungle guardians, the unbreakable ice , even the guardians of the jungle can't do anything about it. Even Jenny herself fell into a deep sleep under the cold wrap, unable to take the initiative to break the iceberg.
Facing the current predicament, Malkem's heart sank. Since he could not destroy the ice or wake up Jenny in the ice, he had no choice but to use another method, which was to take Jenny with the ice sealed outside. Bring the ice back to Eli in its entirety.
"Destroy the weak points around the iceberg. The ice near the center of the Ice Blade is the hardest and cannot be broken with our abilities. However, the ordinary ice in the outside world does not have such treatment. The court mage will use the magic power with me. Dimensional gate, we need an extra-dimensional gate big enough to send away the entire ice that wrapped Jenny."
Malkem quickly ordered. Under his command, the nearby jungle guardians began to take action, struggling to bombard the weak points of the iceberg with their weapons or brilliant magic, preparing to kill Jenny inside. take away.
The offensive of the jungle guardians was effective. Seeing that the ice wrapping Jenny was gradually loosening, and the hope of rescuing her to Eli was close at hand, each jungle guardian moved harder, only to I hope that I can contribute more to this mission. However, at this moment, there is a roar like a giant beast awakening from the depths of the ocean. Endless marine creatures, together with the water elemental people transformed from seawater, sweep away many Jungle Keeper is tightly wrapped.
Many water elemental people cast spells together, and countless ice-blue arrows shot towards the jungle guardians. Under the blessing of the Lord of the Water Element, the ice arrows formed by the thunderbolt ice will not be affected by the resistance of the sea water, but will become faster and faster like swimming fish, making it difficult to guard against. I don’t know how many jungle guardians have been shot by ice arrows. , sinking stiffly into the deepest part of the ocean, and no breath came from it.
"No...this is a trap."
Sensing the unusually powerful aura hidden in the water elemental person, as well as the palpitating feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious monster, Malkem secretly thought something was wrong. Only the water elemental person could show such aura. The real ruler here, the water element monarch who controls the ocean, seems to have anticipated the rescue mission, and has already laid out layers of ambush in the ocean, waiting for the jungle guardians to plunge into the trap.
After realizing that the situation was not good, Malkem did not dare to hesitate, and even Jenny did not care. He hurriedly ordered to the nearby jungle guardian: "Quickly tear open the scroll of the door to another dimension and escape. The mission is over. This is a trap set by the Water Elemental Lord!"
The nearby guardians followed suit and tore apart the magic scrolls in their hands one after another. However, what happened next made their hearts tremble. The expected pale golden portal did not appear, and the nearby space did not change at all.
But it wasn't that there were no changes. From the magic scroll that was torn in half, a burst of bubbles slowly rose up. Along with the bubbles, there was a snoring sound. However, other than this, there were no other changes. , the door to another dimension that held everyone's hope of escape did not appear at all, as if what they tore open was not the fifth-level magic scroll distributed by the magic guild, but some prank prop.
At this time, even the jungle guardians who had experienced many battles couldn't help but start to panic. The situation before them was beyond everyone's expectations. Without the door to another dimension, they could only be trapped and die in the water elemental plane forever. Can't find my way home.
At the same time, a heart-stopping aura also emerged from within the formation of the water elemental people. It was a beautiful woman with an elf appearance. As soon as she appeared, the entire ocean boiled and huge waves surged. Dancing for her, the creatures in the sea bowed to her. That person was clearly the elemental monarch who dominated the water element. His elf-like appearance was just the dress she chose to dress up.
"The water element monarch, Sariel..."
Looking at the figure emerging in the distance, Malkem couldn't calm down for a long time. Although Sariel has an appearance like an elf, her style can be said to be completely contrary to that of an elf.
The elves who like the ocean also like the peace and spaciousness that the sea means. The sea water breeds life and the routes guide civilization. However, what Sariel shows is another side of the ocean, which is the moodiness of the sea when it swallows the ship, and The huge waves roll back and engulf the land, the overwhelming ambition when everything is submerged.
"You actually colluded with those fleeing mages and asked them to provide us with questionable magic scrolls!" Looking at the figure of the water elemental monarch and the helpless jungle guardian behind him, Malkaim became angry and asked Sariel road.
"Ha..." The only person who answered Malkem was Sariel's sneer as cold as sea water, "Do you think I need to do this? I am the water element monarch in charge of the ocean, which makes you people on land The bug will be dead."
Salil raised a finger, and a transparent bubble condensed on her fingertip. The color of the bubble was obviously darker blue than the nearby sea water. What made Malkaim slightly stunned was that the color of the bubble seemed to be similar to theirs. The color of the water next to these jungle guardians is very similar.
"This is curse-melting water. As long as it touches a drop, it can destroy the magic scroll that the mages have worked hard to make. The ink in the scroll will be disordered and it will no longer be able to exert its original effect. Do you think that the power of the magic scroll alone can be destroyed? , can you escape in front of my water elemental lord?"
Listening to Salil's words that were so cold and emotionless, Malkem seemed to realize something. It turned out that there was not a problem with the scrolls that the mages gave him. The real problem was the seawater that enveloped everyone, but Malkem. Kaim misunderstood those mages, but the news he received now did not make his heart feel any better. Instead, it made his heart more solemn. All the actions of the jungle guardians seemed to be under the calculation of the water elemental monarch.
However, now that we know that all the culprits are caused by the curse-melting water, it means that the space magic that relies on its own power should not be affected. However, after some attempts, Malkem's expression became ugly, and his space magic was also unable to be used. Whether it was the door to another dimension or teleportation, it was blocked by a force.
"What exactly did you do? Why can't I use space magic?"
This time, facing Malkem's question, the water elemental monarch just sneered: "When you die in my hands, I will ask Rhodes to transform you into my death knight. Then you can ask me again. !”
As Salil finished speaking, she put her hands in a hug shape in front of her body, with her palms facing each other up and down, and gradually moved closer to each other. At the same time, endless pressure was suppressing Malkem and other jungle guardians from all directions. As the monarch of the water element, Sariel directly controlled the pressure in the sea water, preparing to crush Malkem and his party. Bolognese.
In order to rescue Jenny who was trapped in the depths of the ocean, Malkem and other jungle guardians were blessed with high-level water-bending magic, allowing them to move freely above the ocean without resistance from the sea water. However, in the face of the water elemental monarch who dominates the ocean, their water-bending magic skills are not enough. The water elemental monarch only needs to control the pressure in the sea water to break through the water-bending magic skills and defeat everyone. Crush thoroughly.
After realizing Sally's intention, Malkaim's expression changed drastically. As the fourth seat of the Jungle Guardian, he is the dwarf leader among the court mages. His spellcasting ability is among the best in the entire Eri, even when facing Sally. Despite your pressure, he can also cast spells to resist.
The dark green Aegis of Hercules formed a huge barrier wall in the six directions above and below everyone. The barrier walls fit into each other and actually gathered into a huge dark green hexahedron in the ocean, blocking the water element monarch. Pressure was exerted, and with Malkem's spells to deal with it, everyone who was almost breathless under the heavy pressure finally got a chance to breathe.
"Hercules Aegis? Do you think this kind of magic can stop me?"
After noticing Malkem's method, Sariel let out a cold snort, and the ravaging force of her hands became more rapid. Everyone in the barrier could almost hear the harsh clicking sound. Even the Hercules Aegis could not resist the water. With the power of the Elemental Lord, cracks continue to spread on the barrier wall, and it seems that it will be completely crushed before long, and the people being protected by the Hercules Aegis cannot escape that fate.
The clicking sounds coming from the barrier made all the jungle guardians dare not breathe, as if what was being ravaged was not the hard wall of Hercules Aegis, but the fragile bones in everyone's body. Once Malkem Unable to support it, death awaits everyone.
Facing the unparalleled power of the water elemental monarch, many jungle guardians felt depressed and seemed to have had a premonition of the moment when their death was coming. Even the elves who were usually very enthusiastic and talkative were silent at this moment. Under the pressure of the Elemental Lord, they seemed to have lost hope in their hearts.
"What are you doing? Have you given up hope?"
When the atmosphere in the venue was silent, and everyone looked desperate with no hope, Malkem seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and took the initiative to encourage everyone: "The fact that the water element monarch is here means that Alyssa must have Return safely to Eli, and he will convey the news of our stranding to the remaining jungle guardians in Eli. As long as we can hold on for a while longer, we can usher in rescue from Eli!"
Encouraged by Malkem, the nearby jungle guardian seemed to see hope again, with hope shining in his eyes. No one would doubt that when many jungle guardians were dispatched, there would be no remaining jungle guardians who could come to the rescue. That hope was the thought that supported everyone to continue fighting.
The pressure of the water elemental monarch is still continuing. The originally flat dark green hexahedron has been devastated under the weight of the infinite sea water, twisting and shrinking into shape, but it has never been broken.
Within the barrier, Malkem gritted his teeth. As a caster of spells, he had long been at a complete disadvantage in the magical contest with the water elemental monarch. He had no choice but to unleash his heroic potential and combine himself with the barrier. Fusion into one, barely keeping the barrier from breaking.
Blood stains spread from Malkem's body, and the heavy pressure on the barrier was completely reflected on Malkem's body. It was as if he was carrying the weight of the entire ocean, causing Malkem's blood vessels to burst and his bones to be deformed. However, he still stood up and prevented himself from falling completely. The dwarf's not-so-tall body appeared at this moment. Standing tall and tall.
Malkem knew in his heart that once the barrier he cast was broken, all the jungle guardians participating in the mission would die without exception. He could not fall, let alone fall. The hero's will burst out in his heart, and in the depths of this dark ocean, he will compete with the water elemental monarch until the last moment.
