Chapter 453: Abyss Infusion Ritual (Third Update + Supplementary Update 22/59)
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and the mental power scan spread again.
Soon Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes: "It's a little strange, the other party has a strong person with high spiritual power, obviously found us, but he didn't mean to take the initiative." β
"It's really not normal. Ahan nodded.
"The other side doesn't want to go to war right away, they're waiting. This means that their strength will grow over time...... And the amplitude of enhancement should be higher than our simple one or two skill ultimates!" Bai Xiaowen whispered to Li Shuyi in the team channel, "Maybe it's a transformation ceremony! β
"A great man said that whatever the enemy supports, we must oppose, and whatever the enemy opposes, we must support ......" Bai Xiaowen said this sentence with a smile, "Come on." β
A group of summoned creatures rushed into the main entrance of the hall like a raging wind! Bai Xiaowen and the three followed.
Just as Bai Xiaowen had detected, this hall was much larger than the hub hall on the way before, and there was only this one corridor, and it was not connected to other corridors! Bai Xiaowen instantly realized that this should be the last hall, the deepest and most core area of the latent shadow maze!
"You're coming faster than I thought. β
In front of the crystal coffin in the center of the hall, a slender snake man said calmly, he didn't have any surprised expression at the invasion of Bai Xiaowen and the others, "However, the fate of your early arrival is to die a moment earlier, are you ready to meet your fate?"
Bai Xiaowen's eyes shrank slightly, he had already recognized it, this slender snake man was the level 9 boss, Gerald!
[Gerald (Boss Level 9)]
[Race: Humanoid Race/Snake Race]
[Class: Amotawa War Priest]
[Attributes: Strength 51, Agility 72, Constitution 50, Spirit 31]
[Skill 1: Battlefield Motivation: Passive skill, Gerald's heroic appearance in battle will motivate allies.] Each critical hit increases the critical strike chance of nearby allies by 10%, each dodge attack increases the evasion rate of nearby allies by 10%, and each kill increases all the stats of nearby allies by 10% for 10 seconds. Gerald himself is doubled by the Battlefield Incentives. γ
γSkill 2: ???γ
γSkill 3: ???γ
[Skill 4: ???]
[Skill 5: Snake Man Leader LV3: Gerald's HP is increased by an additional 500 points, and the duration of ailments and control effects is reduced by 50%. γ
Due to the high level, Bai Xiaowen only detected one combat skill of Gerald, which was still a passive skill. However, the effect of this passive skill is enough to show Gerald's strength.
As an agility boss, Gerald is easy to hit critically, dodge, and complete kills, so this "battlefield motivation" skill is by no means an ornament, and can have a significant enhancement to the surrounding allies.
Even if there are no allies around, Gerald himself has double the motivation! He will have a 20% critical buff for 10 seconds when he hits a critical hit, and once he dodges, he will have a 20% additional evasion chance for 10 seconds, making it easier for him to hit critical hits/dodge, and constantly refresh the incentive buff for 10 seconds!
And killing the target leads to a +20% gain of all attributes is a bit terrifying, Gerald as a level 9 boss, the total attribute is about 200 points, what is the concept of 20% gain? a full 40 attributes!
Not to mention that Gerald's surrounding attributes are relatively uniform, and the strength value of more than 50 points is very hard in itself, if you increase the strength by 20%, as an agility boss with 60+ strength points, how terrifying would it be?
Finally, you have to count the level 3 general boss skill "Snake Man Leader", Gerald's 50 points of constitution plus 500 points of extra health, his own blood volume has exceeded 1,000. If you count the incentive buff, your health will climb to 1100 points, and your armor and magic resistance will be as high as 60!
While Bai Xiaowen was observing Jerrold, he also noticed the crystal coffin behind him. Through the lid of the coffin, it can be seen that a tall woman with flaxen hair is sleeping inside, who is none other than Queen Camelot seen in the Hall of the Round Table.
At this time, Queen Camelot has a tendency to become a snake, and the cyan scales have occupied half of the territory of her delicate skin, revealing a strange feeling.
Bai Xiaowen immediately threw out insights at Queen Camelot, and his main purpose was to confirm Queen Camelot's status.
After Queen Camelot's name, a line of words can be seen.
[Abyss Infusion Ritual: Receiving Abyss Infusion and transforming into a Snake Man.] Current conversion progress: 55%. γ
On the stone slab ground below the crystal coffin, a complex turquoise magic array can be seen, with three rings on the edges, and there are three snake people of the elite template, each "kneeling" within the three rings, as if praying.
Bai Xiaowen must be in his heart, he only then understood that the feeling of being mentally scanned before came from Queen Camelot! Queen Camelot now seemed to be sleeping in a crystal coffin, but in fact she must be conscious.
At the same time that Bai Xiaowen woke up to this, a voice seemed to sound in his heart: "Help...... Help me......"
This is Queen Camelot's spiritual transmission, and having this ability means that Queen Camelot's spiritual attributes far surpass Bai Xiaowen's.
Bai Xiaowen perked up and looked at Gerald:
"You're presiding over the Abyss Infusion Ritual? I think of the previous game of the Transcendental, where the so-called dragon resurrection ritual had to be presided over by a priest and at least one ordinary believer to contribute the power of faith...... Now it seems that this statement is not completely made up, and its source is the transformation ritual of the abyss infusion, right? It needs you, the priest, to preside, and it also needs ordinary snake people to enter the magic circle and contribute a power similar to the power of faith as an energy source. β
Gerald's face remained unchanged: "I don't know what you're talking nonsense. β
"Okay, okay...... You think I'm talking nonsense, I'll kill one of the three snake people first, you don't have an opinion, right?"
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen had already raised his hand, aimed at an elite snake man in the magic array, and fired!
Boom!
The gun rang out, but the snake man did not fall and was not injured.
In front of the snake man, a shadow suddenly appeared, turning from virtual to real, it was the shadow priest of Amotava who had dealt with before, Ludwig! He appeared to help the snake man in the magic array block this blow.
Ludwig, however, let out a roar of pain! He was shot in the shoulder and punched out of a bloody hole, and blood flowed profusely.
This seemingly ordinary bullet is actually not that simple. This bullet is Bai Xiaowen's first shot that has been gathering momentum for a long time, with a 100% cumulative critical strike chance of "Ryuji Yamazaki's Fighting Gloves", as well as a 250% critical damage bonus (+4 special effect) for the Desert Eagle gun itself, and a special effect for ignoring armor (+7 penetration)!
Sure enough, the three snake people who performed the prayers were important in the ceremony. This also confirms my other conjecture, that is, in the process of performing the Abyss Infusion Ritual, the priest cannot have any additional movements," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Otherwise, Mr. Gerald is close at hand, how can you need to resist it?"
Ludwig's face was a little blue, but he had blue scales on his face, which were somewhat concealed. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're looking for death!"
"When Gerald couldn't go to war, you obviously didn't dare to talk like this when you were the general of the defeated army, so the question is, where is Mylo? Bai Xiaowen still had a smile on his face, but he was nervously arranging tactics through the team channel and spiritual connection.
In the side door in the corner of the hall, a stout Milo wandered out, the spear in his hand radiating cold light.
"I'm going to nail you to a spear and make a taxidermier. Milo's sharp, forked tongue licked her lips.
"Hahahaha...... Don't scare me. If my guess is right, your master shouldn't allow you to kill me, right?" Bai Xiaowen said leisurely, "The order you received should be captured alive, right? Poor Milo, you are not opponents in a fair fight, not to mention this damn order? You are doomed to fail." β
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
A slightly familiar and somewhat unfamiliar laugh sounded, and from the other side door, another one-eyed snake man wandered out, and it was a high-ranking leader: "Little sheep, if you count Lao Tzu, is it enough?"
Bai Xiaowen, who was communicating with Queen Camelot, felt that the other party's mental power fluctuated greatly.
"Camelot rebels, executioner Gort?" Bai Xiaowen asked tentatively.
Seeing the one-eyed snake man acquiescing, Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect you to become such a ghost." You now know that the so-called wishing is just a scam, right?"
Got Gacka laughed strangely: "Who said this is a hoax? The Lord has already said that the Kuroshio Continent will all sink to the bottom of the sea, and of course Camelot will also perish! β
"What good will it do you to the end of the world?" Bai Xiaowen shrugged his shoulders and said, "The leader of your Camelot rebel army should want to replace him and become the king himself, right? β
"What do I care what others think?" said Goult, sneering, "Anyway, as long as Camelot disappears, my purpose will be achieved." This filthy, bitch-fed kingdom burned my mother and killed my sister...... Even if I go to hell, I have to watch Camelot finish!"
Bai Xiaowen understood, also stepping into the Wishing Pool, why Gaot completed the Abyss Infusion Ritual so quickly, but Queen Camelot dragged it until now, and the progress bar was only more than halfway.
It seems that the abyssal infusion ritual should be related to the degree of resistance to the target, and if the infusion recipient is willing to accept the infusion, it will naturally be twice the result with half the effort. For example, Gaote, who is himself a saboteur who fears that the world will not be chaotic, as soon as he heard that this is a world-destroying cult, of course, he did not discuss joining properly.
On the other hand, if the person is injected, if he is unwilling to do so, it is more troublesome, like Queen Camelot...... After discovering the purpose of this cult to destroy the world, her wish could not be fulfilled at all, and of course she would try her best to resist.
While speaking, Bai Xiaowen gained insight into Gaote's mutated attributes and skills.
γGot (Boss Level 8)γ
[Race: Humanoid Race/Snake Race]
[Occupation: Amotawa Headhunter]
[Attributes: Strength 77, Agility 30, Constitution 42, Spirit 24]
[Skill 1: Entrapment: Goult throws a seaweed-woven throwing net, which reduces the movement speed of the hit target by 50% and cannot dodge physical attacks.] The target is also affected by Cold, which reduces attack speed by 20%. γ
[Skill 2: Burst Spear: Gault attaches explosive energy to the spear, forming an explosion after hitting the first target, dealing heavy magic damage to the target and medium magic damage to nearby enemies. γ
[Skill 3: Raptor Attack: Got launches a fierce blow to the enemy within the melee range in front of him like a falcon swoop, and enemies with a strength value lower than Got will be knocked back.] γ
[Skill 4: ???]
[Skill 5: Snake Man Leader LV2: Omitted.] γ
I don't know if it's a mutated profession.,Gaote's positioning is more alternative.,It's a long-range attackγMelee mixed type of power boss.γ In any case, this boss is more tricky.
Queen Camelot's spiritual voice became weaker and weaker: "Quick, I can't hold on anymore...... Kill the believers, kill the believers......"
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it, and Queen Camelot's conversion rate had reached 59%.
"Let's go!"
Bai Xiaowen raised his left hand, and a magic book with a funny face turned the pages, and the whispering skill of the [Whispering Magic Book] was activated.
Three dice land β three, four, six, 13 o'clock.
"When the Whispering skill is activated, a spell will be randomly drawn from a three-star spell. Extracting ......"
"Spell Draw Result: Hurricane Armor. β
[Hurricane Armor: Pure Wind Energy surrounds the target, absorbing (150) damage for 30 seconds.] For the duration of the Hurricane Armor, the target takes 20% less damage. γ
Ahan: "......"
Li Shuyi: "......"
Gerald: "Go on......???"
That's right, Bai Xiaowen's target is Gerald, and the whispering skill also triggers the nonsense effect, Gerald repeats his last sentence, and then there is an extra layer of hurricane armor on his body......
Bai Xiaowen's original intention was to shake out a damage spell to interrupt Gerald's ritual process and deduct some blood by the way, but this time the Whispering Magic Book was a bit faceless, and put a shield on Gerald, which was still a three-star shield, which cost Bai Xiaowen 6 points of spiritual power......
Of course, Gerald had to maintain the ritual and would not go to war for the time being. 30 seconds of hurricane armor will not affect the battle - just don't fight Gerald for the time being.
Aside from the loss of 6 points of mental power, the actual impact of this accident was not very large. Of course, Yahan's gaze at Bai Xiaowen was a little ......
"Ahem, don't be in a daze, whole!" Bai Xiaowen coughed.
