"This …"
Looking at the "endless" abyss in front of them, everyone, including Cowos, was stunned.
Looking at the pitch-black abyss beneath their feet, it was almost bottomless.
In this case, even if Cowos was a legendary swordsman, it would be useless.
All of this is an illusion, and it definitely won't scare me!
Although Cowos wanted to say that, he was very clear that it wasn't an illusion. Or at least, it wasn't an ordinary illusion. At least in Cowos's opinion, it was indeed a dark abyss in front of him.
If he were to advance rashly, the only outcome would be falling into the abyss and never coming back.
Although Cowos had stepped into the Legendary Realm, he was still a mortal, after all, and naturally wouldn't risk his life.
In the end, this kind of thing still depended on the performance of the expert, which was why Cowos quickly turned his head and looked at Sharon behind him.
"Mage Sharon, please come over and take a look. What's the situation?"
Upon hearing Cowos's words, Grand Mage Sharon, who was protected by everyone, didn't seem to understand what he meant. He stared blankly for a moment, looked around, and walked forward with his golem servant. At the same time, he muttered something.
"Situation?
What situation?
What situation can there be?
What else could it be … "
Looking at Sharon's appearance, Cowos couldn't help but frown.
He felt that Sharon's behavior didn't seem to be quite right, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this pampered Grand Mage wasn't someone with a firm mind, so he didn't think much about it.
He just felt that this Grand Mage's reaction was too excessive. Looking at him now, he was just like a frightened rabbit.
"Grand Mage Sharon?!"
Seeing that Sharon was still in a daze, Cowos couldn't help but raise his voice and call out to him again. Upon hearing Cowos's roar, Sharon seemed to have finally reacted.
However, his reaction was unexpected. The Great Mage's body suddenly trembled, and then he actually jumped back.
At that moment, his metal construct stretched out its arm with a crack and protected the Great Daoist Master.
This sudden scene stunned everyone. But fortunately, Great Mage Sharon seemed to have woken up at this time.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, then looked at Kovos.
"Oh?
What is it? "
"What should we do next?"
Korvos frowned and helplessly gestured to Sharon to look at the Dark Abyss outside the city gate.
"Is this also an illusion?"
"Oh?
This … this … I don't think so … "
Sharon quickly saw the situation at the city gate. Perhaps it was due to professional reasons, he answered quickly this time.
"There are several types of barriers, and many of them can divide space.
I think this kind of barrier should have the same effect.
The abyss you see isn't the real abyss, but just an illusion of space division.
But at the same time, it also represents a kind of reality. To put it simply, the entire Golden City has been isolated from the real world by this barrier and placed in another space. So if we want to leave this place, the only outcome is to be sucked into the space turbulence and never return. "
Sharon's eyes darted around as he spoke.
Although the information he said was very serious, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, as if what they were facing wasn't their most serious trouble.
Korvos also noticed this, but he didn't find it strange.
He was also very clear about Sharon's weakness, but now they still needed the knowledge of this Grand Mage. So Korvos could only curse this damn psychopath in his heart, and then asked again patiently.
"So, is there any way we can get out of here?
You are a mage, so you should be very familiar with this situation. "
"No!!!"
But what Korvos didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, Sharon suddenly roared and retreated.
Shortly after, the metal construct beside him suddenly spread out its blade-like arms. Swish! Swish! Several soldiers who surrounded Sharon were sliced into pieces by the metal construct's arms. Looking at this scene, Korvos was also taken aback. But he didn't have much time to think. He hurriedly drew his sword and swung it forward. Clang! Clang! The sword collided with the metal construct's arms and produced sparks.
"Sharon!
You bastard!
What are you trying to do! "
At this moment, Korvos was already furious. Previously, he felt that Sharon's attitude was a little strange, but he didn't expect her to be crazy enough to do this to him in a desperate situation!
Could it be that this Grand Mage is actually a traitor?
If that's the case, it isn't entirely unreasonable.
However, Korvos felt that Sharon's expression was a little strange. She didn't seem to be excited after her scheme succeeded. On the contrary, he clearly saw the anger and fear on her face.
"Don't lie to me, Korvos. I know!
I know what you and that old fart Hughes are trying to do!!
You want to use me as a sacrifice to leave this place!
No way!
I'm telling you, no way!
I'm a Grand Mage!
I won't be trapped by this childish enchantment. I want to return to the Mage Tower now and leave this place!
You can't!
Who asked you to harm me?!
I will never allow it!
You can die here, but I want to leave!
I don't want to be buried here with you! "
"Damn it. What's wrong with you?
Sharon, calm down!
No one wants to kill you. Let's leave together! "
"No!
No!
I will never leave with you. You can't leave this place!
We will all die here!
No, you will all die here!
But I won't die!
I'm the great Mage Sharon … "
As she spoke, Sharon even began to draw mysterious magic runes in the air with her fingers and gesticulations.
Looking at this scene, Korvos was also taken aback. Although he didn't know what was wrong with Sharon, his intention to attack him was genuine. In other words, he really wanted to kill him!
If Kovos could see the system like Zayen, then he would find that in the character menu above Sharon's head, the icon of [Deep Fear] was currently hanging in the attribute column.
It was apparent that Sharon had been completely captured by the [Disciple]'s spiritual fear. Although it was said that a Mage's spiritual strength should be far superior to ordinary people, Sharon was an exception.
He was originally a timid and cautious person, and falling into the enchantment made him feel considerable pressure.
This created a gap in the soul, allowing the [Disciple] to take advantage of it.
At this moment, in the depths of Sharon's heart, his fear had been magnified infinitely. It could be said that the Great Mage's mind was completely full of all kinds of delusions.
On the way, he even considered his own safety. Removing the enchantment would definitely require a mage, but it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to remove the enchantment. But Cowos must remove the enchantment, which meant that he needed him to do it for him.
If he couldn't do it, then he was afraid that he would kill him … Yes, that must be it!
He would kill him and use his blood to dispel the enchantment!
That's definitely what the Barbarian was thinking!
Korvos didn't expect that Sharon's mind was completely distorted at this moment. He thought that Sharon just couldn't bear the pressure and suddenly went crazy.
However, Sharon obviously wouldn't give him a chance to explain. She spread her arms, and soon, the ground began to tremble. Then, several huge Earth Elemental creatures climbed up from the ground and cooperated with the metal golems to attack Korvos.
Looking at this scene, the old swordsman was also enraged. He gripped his sword and pushed forward, forcing the golems to retreat. Then, the sword in his hand erupted in a bright, dazzling white light. He slashed forward and at the next moment, the Earth Elemental creature in front of him was split into two.
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers also began to panic. In this team, there were many members who were also affected by the [Deep Fear] debuff like Sharon.
At this moment, as soon as Sharon moved, they immediately fled in all directions.
The other soldiers naturally tried to stop their comrades who fled before the battle, but the mentally contaminated soldiers didn't waste any time. They directly raised their swords and slashed at those who tried to stop them.
For a time, sounds of fighting could be heard all around them. It was so chaotic that even the fog was stirred and changed.
"Sharon, you idiot, stop right now!"
Korvos slashed another Earth Elemental creature and swung his sword upward to block the golem's next move.
At the same time, he shouted again, hoping that Sharon would wake up.
But the latter didn't care about what he was saying. He just focused on chanting the spell. Ironically, perhaps he was driven to desperation by his own imagination, but this Archmage, who wasn't very determined, was trying his best to kill Covos to "protect" his own life.
Facing Korvos's roar, Sharon didn't stop. Instead, she raised her hand and moved forward again. Then, the transformed wind materialized and formed a giant hand that shone with a golden brilliance, grabbing at Korvos.
I don't have any more time to waste here!
Looking at the giant hand that was grabbing at him, Korvos made up his mind.
He held his sword with both hands, bent down, and looked forward like a cheetah.
Then, the sword in Korvos's hand drew a crescent arc in mid-air and slashed straight ahead.
This slash seemed illusory, but it was full of unstoppable power.
The metal golem bore the brunt of the attack. Before Korvos's sword hit it, it was flattened like a paper box that was stepped on and flew backward.
At the next moment, the power of the legendary swordsman erupted without reservation. The binding wind pressure was like a sharp blade that tore through the earth, slashing straight at the mage in front of him.
Although Sharon raised the staff in her hand and cast a spell in an attempt to block this powerful blow, the power of the legendary swordsman erupted without reservation.
But the silver-white blade aura was obviously faster.
Sharon didn't even have the time to activate the powerful power contained in the staff. The silver-white blade aura struck the staff like a long whip, smashing it into pieces.
The uncontrollable magical power also erupted at this moment. Along with a heart-wrenching scream, Sharon flew backward and landed heavily on the ground.
At this moment, Sharon's hands were badly mutilated. The magical power that erupted tore his flesh and even his chest was covered in blood.
But even so, Sharon still struggled to stand up. But at the next moment, Cowos's figure had already appeared in front of him, and he stomped him back to the ground.
"Damn it, I told you to calm down!
You bastard!
Don't you understand human language?! "
At this moment, Korvos was also furious. His eyes were bloodshot and bulging from his eye sockets as though they were about to fall out.
Not only that, but if Korvos had a mirror, he would have discovered that he looked more like a beast than a human.
However, at this moment, Sharon revealed a strange smile.
"Heh heh … Heh heh heh … You want to kill me? Leave by yourself! No way!
If I die, let's die together!
Hahaha, I will die here. You will die here too. Everyone will die here. Hahahahaha! "
Upon seeing the mage spread his arms, Korvos immediately realized that something was wrong. But before he could react, Sharon had completely released her magical power.
The wild magical power turned into a blue flame pillar that soared into the sky and enveloped him and Korvos in the blink of an eye.
"No …!"
Along with Korvos' screams, the merciless bell rang again.
