Diablo Destruction

Rumble......

As if he had a premonition that something was about to happen, the power of the high-altitude storm, which was already so fierce that people could not open their eyes, increased several times in vain.

In an instant, except for the altar that was still standing, it seemed as if the entire world was shrouded in a gray and black storm, and the sky was shaken by the wind. It was a scene of the end of the world.

Above the altar, thunder suddenly crackled deep in the thick clouds, and streaks of angry thunder several meters thick fell straight down and hit the altar.

A dozen towering giant pillars surrounding the center of the altar were instantly surrounded by countless lightning lights. The originally blurry words on them disappeared and appeared under the white lightning light, creating a mysterious and powerful aura. Revealed from it.

The lightning on these more than a dozen huge stone pillars were connected hand in hand, forming a sealed lightning circle, from which roars of thunder snakes continued to emit. These violent and unruly lightnings seemed to be summoned by something in the end. They rushed towards the center of the altar crazily.

In an instant, all the powerful lightning energy was concentrated in the center of the altar, which seemed to be unable to withstand such a large amount of energy. When the gathered white lightning was as intense as liquid thunder water, there was a loud "boom".

I saw a lightning pillar more than ten meters thick rising into the sky from the center of the altar like a dragon escaping from trouble, soaring straight into the sky. The thick gray clouds that seemed to be pressed down by the sky were instantly broken by this pillar of light. , looking at it this way, it looks like a big hole has been poked in the sky.

The lightning that ravaged the sky continued to fall on more than a dozen stone pillars around the altar, but the lightning from the stone pillars gathered in the center and turned into a huge thunder pillar that pierced the sky.

In such a cycle-like process, the thunder pillars continued to pour out. In the sky, the large hole poked by the thunder pillars also continued to expand. I was dumbfounded, and I didn't know how long it lasted.

When the hole above was exactly the same size as the altar directly below, the thunder pillar suddenly disappeared, and the raging lightning disappeared as if it had never happened before.

The calm after the storm.

Even the high-altitude storm that was originally impossible to disappear was strange, as if it was suddenly blocked by something, and disappeared without a trace. Standing on the top of an open-air mountain tens of thousands of meters high, I couldn't feel a trace of wind. It's so sudden that people can't get used to it for a while.

The scene in front of me revealed a sense of peace and tranquility.

The only thing that can prove that what just happened is real is the "hole" above the head that is as big as the altar.

Looking up, countless white beams of light were projected from the hole, illuminating the entire altar, making the place become like heaven in an instant, full of light and hope.

Under the illumination of white light, the words on more than a dozen tall stone pillars suddenly flashed with a milky white brilliance. Each word seemed to come alive, constantly flowing and changing in his eyes.

Even if you don't use your eyes to see it, it's like playing a movie, passing through your mind neatly and orderly.

This is a document that records the ancestors and history of the barbarians. The words on more than ten stone pillars contain historical monuments of the barbarian clan for more than 100,000 years.

Among them, the brightest beam of light, standing out from the crowd, fell on an upright inscription in the center of the altar.

"..."

Until now, my brain has not fully recovered. The scene just now was so spectacular and shocking that even 3D movies and the most advanced immersive equipment cannot compare to one ten thousandth. .

Such magical scenes have become familiar since coming to Diablo. I have seen legendary magic, martial arts, summons, monsters of various shapes, and even giant beasts that are tens of meters high, such as Angelesmon. But this time is undoubtedly the most shocking one.

Although I was complaining about the Holy Sword-Evlia and so on, when I met for the first time, I saw the Doomsday Battle, the demon battlefield filled with the corpses of two-winged, four-winged and even six-winged masters, It's even grander, but it's gray and gray that hasn't changed for millions of years. It's a completely dead world. To say it's shocking, it's still not as shocking as what's in front of you.

At this moment, I couldn't help crying.

Since traveling to Darkness, I no longer have to watch American blockbusters (although I won’t have the chance to watch them again).

After sighing for a moment, I slowly walked towards the center of the altar.

In this battle, I have decided to fight quickly. The specific method is to directly transform into a blood bear and blast the three barbarian bosses instantly. This refreshing style of fighting is the most in line with our personality.

Therefore, Xiaoxue and the others had been put away before they came in.

Walking straight towards the center of the altar, just when I was about to see the words on the inscription, I suddenly realized something was wrong.

When I looked up, my eyes widened.

At some point, three lifelike stone sculptures of barbarians appeared around the altar. They looked up to the sky and roared, exuding endless power.

The armor on the stone sculpture, the exposed muscle lines, and even the blood vessels on it were all clearly visible, as if it could come back to life at any time.

Of course, they will definitely come back to life. They are just three living people.

As a rookie who had been tortured to death by these three bastards, I naturally thought of it.

Kolik! Madoc! Talik!

These three people are the guardians of the Barbarian Holy Land in the first world, and they are also the last hurdle for all adventurers who want to challenge Baal.

Although it is not like the game now, if you can't win, you will directly turn into a corpse, but the feeling of being defeated by them and running back dejected must not be much better.

Want to challenge Barr? Brother, don’t be happy. I heard that you can’t even pass the Guardian level, right? Hahahahaha~~~

It is entirely conceivable that those venomous barbarians would definitely say such things.

I'm not surprised by the existence of these three guardians. If they weren't there, it would be a headache. The question is why didn't I notice them just now?

After taking a closer look, I finally realized that these three statues were completely integrated with the altar, just like a seed fell to the ground and, after years of passage, finally took root and became integrated with the land.

Therefore, the appearance and disappearance of the three statues were natural, and they did not feel abrupt at all. Moreover, they did not reveal a trace of life fluctuations, and even the keen senses of adventurers could not detect them.

The one holding the heavy two-handed ax is Korik.

The one who is good at two-handed skills, holding a sword in one hand and an ax in the other, is Madoc.

The one holding the sword in one hand and the shield in the other is Talik.

These three majestic barbarian statues and the weapons in their hands have roughly summarized all the barbarian fighting methods.

However, the feeling of being surrounded by three statues condescendingly, with pairs of eyes that seemed to be alive staring at me, was really not a wonderful feeling.

I felt a little nervous and decided to make a quick decision, so I ignored the three statues that were surrounding me and strode to the stone tablet in the center of the altar.

The words engraved on the stone tablet seemed to be written in blood, as bright red as magma, revealing a strong murderous aura. Looking at the inscription, it was like seeing countless murderous barbarians roaring at themselves.

I gently placed my hand on the blood-red inscription. At the moment of contact, the light above my head suddenly became brighter. I didn't have time to think too much and quickly looked at the three statues.

Under the strong light, the gray-brown color on the three stone sculptures was melting and fading like snow meeting the bright sun. Slowly, the bright armor and shiny skin were revealed from the gray. come out.

A moment later, three living barbarians stood condescendingly on the high platform, looking at themselves with wide eyes.

Are you about to take action? Adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, should we wait for them to make the first move?

I clenched the crystal sword in my hand, feeling a little confused.

Three barbarians as tall and strong as Settlek, Cormac, Maddock, and Talik, stood on the high platform. Under my eyes, they came to life and took back the savages they had put on when they were stone sculptures. , some of them looked up to the sky and roared.

Then, under my dumbfounded gaze, I hung the weapon on my back, let out a big yawn, stretched out my hands, twisted my neck, expanded my chest, kicked my legs, and actually felt warm.

Hey hey, didn't you see me? Say something? Don't think I don't exist, hey--

Finally, after the three barbarian uncles had finished warming up, they seemed to notice my presence. Korik, who used a two-handed heavy axe, was the first to jump off the high platform.

His tall and strong body, heavy armor, and the giant ax behind his back weighed at least two tons. When he jumped to the ground, the ground around him suddenly buzzed and roared. Thanks to the strong altar, there was no trace of any sound. crack.

"Hey, is this little one like you the tester this time?"

He took a few steps forward. He was almost twice as tall as me, blocking all sight of my eyes. I could only see the shining armor on his chest.

Then, there was a heavy slap on the shoulder, and it suddenly felt like a huge stone was pressing on it. Fortunately, we have experienced such torture from countless barbarians, and we have not made a fool of ourselves.

"Well, not bad, not bad."

Only then did Kolik take a few steps back, allowing my eyes to see the sky again. He looked up and saw a look of satisfaction in his eyes. However, this kind of satisfaction was that of finding a qualified prey, full of lust. The satisfaction of naked fighting spirit can make people's hearts go numb.

"Kelik, you are relying on your old age and bullying the younger generation again."

A thick voice came from behind. When I looked back, I saw Tarik holding a sword and shield. His weapon was the same as his name. Tarik, who was also tall, looked extremely calm. If Tarik was a Seattleite, If so, then Tarik is Carlos.

Before Kolik could say anything, another voice next to me attracted my attention again.

"Boy, don't tell me you're the only one?!!"

When he turned around, he saw that Madoc, who was good at swords and axes, was talking to him.

By the way, have you only discovered it now? Should I give Madoc the most attentive evaluation of the three of you?

Facing the widened bull eyes of the three people, I could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

"Are you sure you didn't run out to play and accidentally wandered here and triggered the magic?" Korik asked with wide eyes and disbelief.

"..."

By the way, Uncle Korik, have you ever seen such a casual, leisurely adventurer who risked being dumped by monsters and ran up to the top of Mount Arreat alone to enjoy the breeze? Even if you want to pick up a girl, you should take her to the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze instead of here, you bastard! !

Okay, you are the uncle, I will tolerate you! !

Resisting the urge to complain, I shook my head, feeling like a little white rabbit surrounded by three big bad wolves.

"Oh, that's it." Seeing me shaking my head, Tarik crossed his arms and nodded.

Hey hey, do you just accept it? Who was showing a look of disbelief just now? Did they simply believe it? If you see an adventurer running here alone, don't you feel suspicious, or should you be surprised?

I looked at Tarik in confusion, thinking to myself, maybe this guy is the most neurotic among the three, and the calm and cold aura he displays should actually be classified as his silly and taciturn character. aspect.

"Let's not talk about this first. Let's get down to the topic." Madoc in the middle straightened his face and said solemnly.

Oh, is the war finally about to begin? Keep me waiting.

I immediately cheered up and my eyes sharpened.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Madoc extended a big palm towards me.

"??"

Is it some kind of ceremony before the war begins? I looked at Madoc's rough hands and hesitated in my heart, but in all these years, I had never heard of barbarians having this kind of custom. Could it be the tradition of barbarians thousands of years ago?

Most importantly, do you want to respond? How should I respond? No one taught me! !

So, while he was trying hard to find a way to deal with it, he and Madoc, who stretched out his big hand towards him, stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes in the center of the sacred altar illuminated by the white beam of light.

"Boy, didn't you bring it?"

Seeing that I had been silent for a long time, Madoc couldn't help but ask.

"What did you bring?" I widened my eyes in confusion.

"Food, wine, etc., we three old people have been squatting here for thousands of years, can't you be considerate at all?"

Madoc replied matter-of-factly.

"..."

Is this your main topic, bastard! ! ! In what corner have you thrown the matter of testing into? ! !

I numbly searched through the inventory. Fortunately, Vilas prepared a lot of delicious food for me. My journey went much faster than expected, so there was still a lot left.

"Oh, didn't you bring this specially? You still want to whet our appetites. You little druid is so dishonest, hahahaha~~"

Seeing me taking out so many delicious foods, Madoc immediately laughed happily, and the three of them grabbed the pastries, sauced meats, and dried meats made by Veras and ate them hungrily.

"Wine...where's the wine?"

Korik, whose mouth was dripping with oil from eating, asked vaguely.

Fortunately, I still have some of the wine I bought in Kurast as a temptation to let the old drunkard run errands for me.

"The wine of Kurast is thoughtful."

Talik, who seemed calm, unexpectedly turned out to be a drunkard. He took it from my hand, opened the cork, and couldn't wait to put his nose up to smell it, and he smelled it immediately.

"Actually, I really don't know. I have to bring food here." I answered honestly as I watched them eat.

"Didn't the other barbarians tell you?" Korik asked vaguely.

"..."

Could it be that other barbarians will inform? That makes sense. You know, if an adventure team decides to challenge Baal, that is a big deal. It will definitely spread in Harrogath, and then this team will be informed of something, which is not surprising.

But he went directly from the camp to Harrogas, and then immediately ran to the fox people. The little fox probably didn't know this rule, and Mara probably forgot about it because there were too many wounded people and he was too busy. .

What makes me wonder is, Seattle should know, why didn't he tell me?

"Oh, the current generation is so heartless. Have they already forgotten us?" Seeing my silence, Kolik sighed sadly.

"That's not the case. My situation is a bit special..."

Seeing his appearance, I quickly explained, and Kolik's face felt better.

No matter how you say it, these three barbarian guardians are all worthy of respect. They abandoned everything and were willing to be forever sealed on the snow-ravaged summit of Arreat, becoming the guides for all adventurers, repeating themselves for thousands of years. Continuously, not many can do this alone.

The status of these three people in the hearts of barbarians has even been integrated with this altar. In the hearts of all barbarians, the one they most yearn to worship is undoubtedly the brave and invincible barbarian god of war-Bulkesso, but they respect it the most. But they are the three people in front of me. I still know these common senses.

"Well, let me tell you, a few days ago, there was a female Amazon like you who came alone. We just showed up, and before we had time to move our muscles, her spear was already piercing her."

With a look on his face that said, "People nowadays don't know how to respect the old and care for the young," he sighed with regret.

An Amazon coming alone?

I was stunned and suddenly overjoyed. Who else could be there besides Sister Sharna?

"What about her?" I asked quickly.

"Passed, what? Do you know her?" Korik looked at me strangely.

"Well, she is my sister." I nodded.

"Weird things, weird things."

The three of us shook our heads in amazement, because Sister Sharna and I, both in appearance and personality, are really difficult to use the word "siblings" to relate to each other. The gap is too big.

It's like a world-class star has an ordinary-looking, inconspicuous younger brother.
