Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 451 Dusk Silhouette
Waterfall Town, Emerald Tower.

"How long will it take?" Thorne looked at the scene in the crystal ball solemnly.

In the last row of the hobgoblin army, fifteen dark priests with fear masks on their faces formed a strange circle.

At the very center of the magic circle is an oval-shaped portal successfully constructed from a large number of precious gems, arcane items, and terrifying magic materials.

At this time, the gently rotating portal is following the dark priest's fallen summoning spell, condensing clusters of black aura at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As wisps of evil aura continue to gather inside the portal, the portal, which is more than ten meters high, is slowly opening.

Through the narrow gap, one can even see countless ferocious phantoms eagerly waiting nearby.As long as the portal is opened, they will surge out like a dam that has been opened.

Even though Thorne looked there from the perspective of God through the image of the crystal ball, he still felt heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

He had a premonition that if the portal connecting the unknown land was really opened, a group of terrifying existences capable of destroying the entire peninsula would definitely be summoned.

This kind of powerful existence is even more terrifying than the two deep hell fiends killed by the diamond golem just now.

Facing the precarious situation on the battlefield, he has long lost his usual calmness and composure, and he began to feel a little anxious in his heart.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Andrina, who was sitting next to Thorn, took his hand and comforted him softly, then stretched out her other hand and gently stroked the crystal ball floating in front of her eyes.

A spell flashed.

The image in the crystal ball was quickly transferred by her to the new god shining like a star in the sky outside the Forest of Silence: the goblin and the goddess of wisdom Martha.

"Malvisa's concentration of divine power has slowed down, and the divine radiance she exudes has also been significantly weakened." Seeing the goblin wizard shrouded in radiance, Thorne's expression sank.

"That's right, the coming of the incarnation of the Mighty One has consumed a lot of divine power. If this continues, it is impossible for this battle to end until he personally takes action." Anderina said in a worried tone.

She knew very well that the new god at this time was going through a painful process of transforming from a mortal into a true god.Moreover, during the whole process, he was interrupted once by the incarnation of the Mighty One, consuming a lot of condensed divine power.

This also means that the time until the Conferred God Ceremony is completely completed has been extended again.

"Can there be another fireball from just now?" Thorne thought for a while, looking at the slightly frowning female sorceress.

The current battle has reached a fever pitch, and both sides are waiting for the existence that can break the situation in an instant. If there are a few more fireballs just released, the casualties of the alliance army will be greatly reduced.

"It can't be done. The Wizard Tower's energy is limited, so we can't squander it at will, or it will affect our long-prepared plan." Anderina shook her head slightly, and turned her eyes to other places.

Thorn followed her gaze and looked over together.

Silence fell, only the strong wind outside the tower continued to howl.

In the space of the twelfth floor of the tower.

Not far from Thorne, there was a pentagram array emitting dark blue light.

In the five corners of the pentagram circle, there is a drow spellcaster sitting cross-legged, and in the center of the circle is a strange sword handle with countless mysterious runes engraved on it.

If you observe carefully, you can find that the dark black hilt emits a faint light like the afterglow of the setting sun.

Most importantly, there is no blade on the hilt.

At this time, the casters sitting cross-legged in the five corners of the magic circle were all shrouded in a layer of light blue light.

They all took the same posture, stretched out their hands, and pushed them towards the hilt of their swords. There was still a faint red aura exuding from the palms of their hands.

Then these auras converged towards the hilt of the sword floating in the center of the magic circle at an undetectable speed.

The dark black hilt also slowly 'lived' as it continuously absorbed light red energy.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, one of the drow wizards trembled and nearly fell to the ground, and scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"I'm very... sorry, I... tried my best." The drow wizard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, gave Thorn an apologetic look, and walked away quickly from the cross-legged position with difficulty.

"Thanks for your hard work." Thorne replied politely.

With the departure of the drow wizard, the sword hilt in the center of the magic circle trembled slightly, as if it would fall down at any moment.

"Paldo, fill in, Vel'Koz is ready to fill in."

Faced with this situation, Anderina had obviously expected it long ago. She didn't panic in the slightest. She immediately picked up a delicate control staff and tapped it lightly on the ground twice.

A burst of dark blue energy gushed out from the pentagram circle, instantly stabilizing the trembling sword hilt.

The little wizard Pardo, who closed his eyes and concentrated on hearing the words, immediately got up and rushed over.

He sat cross-legged in the vacant position. Like everyone else, he pushed out his hands. Under the influence of the magic circle, as his body was shrouded in light blue light, a light red aura gradually condensed in his palms, moving towards the hilt of the sword. Gather away.

"As expected of an arcanist, I didn't expect the magical energy he mastered to be so pure." Andelina was surprised, and whispered next to Thorne.

Silence fell again, and the howling wind outside the tower became more ferocious.

As another drow wizard retreated with his weak body, the mind flayer Vel'Koz followed.

Work in a while.

Under Thorne's expectant eyes, the entire pentagram circle suddenly burst into the most dazzling dark blue light.

What followed was an invisible wave of energy erupting from the dark black hilt.

"boom!"

The powerful force field energy was like the momentum of thunder, and the five people who were caught off guard were thrown away, and a stream of scarlet blood was sprayed out from their mouths.

"My wizard level dropped by one."

The first to recover was the mind flayer Vel'Koz. He shook the tentacles at the corners of his mouth, and cast his two pale, dead fish eyes at the young wizard Pardo opposite.

"Me too." Pardo, leaning against the wall, shrugged and smiled, his tone weak.

Hellist, the leader of the drow elves, heard the conversation between the two, his expression moved, and then he frowned slightly, apparently also encountered the same situation.

However, after everyone remembered Malvisa's warning before the ceremony, they immediately understood the reason, so they could only admit that they were unlucky and remained silent.

"It has been activated." As the light emanating from the dark black hilt dissipated, the pentagram circle completely dimmed until it disappeared. Andrina immediately reminded Thorne beside her.

Upon hearing this, Thorne quickly walked towards the hilt of the sword floating in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, he took it into his hand without hesitation.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a cold feeling that seemed to penetrate the depths of his soul came from his palm, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Thankfully, this feeling is only fleeting at the touch.

"...The high-level artifact projection "Twilight Silhouette" has been activated! "As Thorne clenched the hilt with his right hand, Tarling's cold metal mechanical sound echoed throughout the space:
".... Extracting energy from the elemental pool!... "Twilight Silhouette" is starting to recharge! ...The current charging progress is: ...10%, 30%, 60%, 100%!

...The high-level artifact projection "Twilight Silhouette" is fully charged! ……warn! ... The energy of the element pool is about to reach the critical point! "

Accompanied by Ta Ling's continuous icy sound echoing, in the eyes of everyone, the hilt of Thorn's right hand was fully charged, and a terrifying energy was transmitted to the rune core of the hilt.

A red sword blade made entirely of crimson energy and formed by dimensional cracks pierced the space and emerged on the hilt.

"Is this the so-called 'higher artifact'?" Everyone in the tower cast their surprised eyes on the blade in Thorne's hand, admiring it.

Strong energy was poured in one after another, and the blurred crimson blade reflected the entire space into a crimson scene.

The soft light emitted by the magic crystal lamp also seemed distorted, trembling slightly like a mysterious pulsating streamer.

At the same time, Thorn, who is holding a high-level artifact projection, is also undergoing tremendous changes.

It can be seen from his extremely restrained expression that it seems more like he is enduring some kind of pain.

"...is activating the high-level artifact projection attribute!... Consuming 1000 experience points! 500 practice points!"

"...is activating the high-level artifact projection attribute!... Consuming 1000 experience points! 500 practice points!"

"...is activating the high-level artifact projection attribute!... Consuming 1000 experience points! 500 practice points!"

…………

"...The projection attribute of the high-level artifact has been activated!"

Just when Thorne realized that he was about to face the risk of relegation, the huge suction from the hilt of the sword finally stopped, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Buzz!"

The crimson blade trembled slightly as Thorne waved it tentatively, and a force field barrier similar to a protective shield instantly enveloped his whole body.

Dusk Silhouette (Projection)
Quality: High Artifact

Attributes:? ? ? ? ?

(Note: Sniffing the dusk... awakened by loneliness.)
……

"I can't see the attributes." Thorn, whose whole body was covered by light red light, looked at the data that emerged, looked away in disappointment, and then bowed to a group of drow wizards:
"Thank you for your help. I was able to successfully activate the projection this time, thanks to everyone's help. Thank you for your hard work."

"Compared to the insignificant level, I am more interested in the magical knowledge of the Arcane Empire." The corner of the drow wizard Hellist's mouth curled up with a smile, and he shook his head indifferently: "I wish you success."

"Accept your good words." Thorne replied politely, without wasting any more time, he clenched his sword hilt and looked at the sorceress beside him.

Anderina instantly understood what he meant, smiled at him, and waved her staff.

A magical aura flashed from the sapphire at the top of the staff.

"...Calculating space markers!...Found the dimensional prison!...The dimensional prison has been broken!...Open the portal!"

Accompanied by Tarling's cold metal mechanical sound, a dark blue oval portal appeared in front of Thorn's eyes.

"Thorn, after leaving the tower, the projection can only last for one minute." Andrina met Thorne's gaze and reminded him softly, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, 1 minute is enough." Thorne nodded slightly, looked at the scene inside the portal, and stepped in without hesitation.
