Chapter 56: A Heavy Price
"What the hell are you guys doing? Why do you make Ryan feel like you're telling you about the aftermath, and what is wrong with this book? ”
Okaso frowned, looking at Ormars and his friend Marion, who looked even more compassionate, and a sense of extreme foreboding passed through his heart.
Omars turned to look at him, trying to say something but only sighed and shook his head.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhuo Genam, Farah and the others were also confused when they saw this scene, obviously they had successfully mastered such a powerful weapon in their hands, why did these two people not feel happy at all, but they both looked sad?
"Yes! That subordinate of Xue had said that there was a huge price to pay for wanting to use the magic in this book, and what was this price? ”
Soxia had an idea, and remembered the conclusion that Xue Hua's "subordinate" had come to after studying the book.
It was that conclusion that helped them successfully get the ancient book of Lan Yisen, and the strange figure once said that the book was connected to some "basic rules"? He also advised Xue not to touch the book with his own hands, saying that if he wanted to use this kind of item with "basic rules", he would pay a huge price.
This caused a shadow to fill the paladin's heart.
"Hey, there are nine different spells in this book, and when I got this book, I understood the rules for using them."
Marion let out a long sigh and glanced around to see that everyone was focused on him before continuing.
Each of these nine spells was more powerful than the other, and it was the third spell used by the High Priest Klimt to imprison Mephisto in the Prison of Hatred.
There are six of the other spells recorded in this book, all of which are more terrifying than the one Klimt used back then, and the last one even has the power to destroy an entire continent, but the use of these spells comes at a huge cost, and the user cannot pay mana, but needs to pay his own life to use them.
The spell used by High Priest Klimt directly consumed his ninety-hundred-year lifespan, and if you want to shake the sacred celestial sphere that protects Mephisto, you must use at least a fifth spell, and the price of that spell is 1,800 years of lifespan is exactly the sum of my remaining lifespan."
"What ?!!" The eyes of the legendary professionals widened and widened, especially Ocasso, whose faces showed extremely pale and frightened looks.
"No!! Ryan! I still have a lot to live! Let me cast that spell! Let me! Ocasso burst out, and he stepped forward to snatch the large book from Marion's hand, but no matter how much he stretched out his hand, he could not touch the ancient book, as if it were not physical in front of him.
"Useless Ocasso, this book will only identify with the first person who comes into contact with him" Marion smiled wryly and took a step back, and said helplessly to Ocasso, who was already a little crazy.
"How could this be, how could this be" The barbarian's huge body staggered two steps in place, and his face, which was originally full of flesh, was now full of guilt and sadness.
When he was picking up the ancient book, it was he who accidentally fell to the bottom of the pit because he was in a hurry to commit a reckless mistake, and now when he heard that his best comrade-in-arms would pay for his life for his momentary negligence, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.
"Isn't there any other way to do it?" When the legendary powerhouses saw this scene, they all felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, and Farah hesitated for a long time, then turned his head and asked Omars.
"If we want to break the sacred celestial sphere, there are only two options: Klim's flail and the magic recorded in the ancient books of the blue cloth, if we still want to drive Mephisto's forces out of the rainforest completely, we must regain the Kurast harbor and then capture Trivank The forest and the earth there are crying for help from me, I am afraid that it has also been transformed into demonic land, I suspect that Mephisto's doppelganger has reappeared in Trivank City!"
Omars sighed softly and spoke.
"Klim's flail was preemptively found by Mephisto and brought back to purgatory in the Third World, from where it is impossible for us to take the flail back.
So if we want to expel Mephisto's clone, we are now left with the option of using the magic recorded in the ancient book of the blue coat forest, and I was originally going to come by myself, hey"
"Needless to say, guys, maybe it's just fate!" Marion interrupted Omars with a long sigh, his face suddenly calming and his eyes regaining a sparkle of wisdom.
The Ice Shaper has always been Chief of Staff of the Legion of the Parliamentary Guard, and while tasked with controlling Ocasso's temper, he is also a master of strategy and tactics.
"Okka, from now on, you have to learn to manage your stinky temper yourself, and you can't act as recklessly as before, understand?"
"But," Ocasso wanted to say something with a reluctant face, but was blocked back by Marion with a stern face.
"There are so many soldiers on the front line of the second world who are shedding their blood for our world every day, and they are dying, am I **?
We should be mentally prepared for this at the moment we become professionals, and it is a fluke that I, Marion, can live to this day and even have the privilege of being able to see the original power.
You don't need to persuade in this regard, I have made up my mind, Oka, if you really want to help me, just explain it to the council, and then Lina and the others will ask you to help take care of it."
The atmosphere in the field was quiet for a while, and everyone's faces looked very ugly, they didn't expect that they and the others were fighting desperately in the rainforest and even almost wiped out in exchange for such a weapon fueled by the lives of their companions.
And this weapon is not unnecessary, unless they want the entire rainforest to be slowly polluted and transformed into demonic soil.
After a long silence, Omars was the first to break the silence, and he looked up at the crowd and said.
"The fish in the river and the wind on the shore have brought me news that the Filthy Legion has entered the middle reaches of the Zuraka River, and we need to find out where they are deployed, so that we can warn in advance of Nataya, who is listening for us in the rainforest."
"Let me take someone, it won't take long." Evan stepped forward and took on the task with a calm face.
After Evan walked out, Omars spoke again, "Now that reinforcements from the Parliamentary Guard have arrived, it is time for a counterattack on the seaport of Kurast to be put on the agenda.
However, since you have been exposed by seizing the ancient books of the Blue Cloth, the previous plan for covert operations can no longer be used.
The demon legions in the seaport of Kurast will inevitably be on higher alert, so we must re-gather intelligence and develop a new attack plan."
Omars paused for a moment, making sure everyone's attention was on him before continuing.
"The main force of the Demon Legion in front has already learned of your arrival, and they will definitely find a way to send the elite Demon Legion into the heart of the rainforest.
In this regard, it depends mainly on the efforts of the Demon Slayer Legion, but in the event that the form develops in the most severe direction, we must not sit idly by.
In the end, the power in the hands of that necromancer named Xue Hua is likely to become our biggest hole card, so we must send men to protect his safety at all times, and we must not let the Evil Pact pose any threat to him! ”
