282 Stratholme's Elegy (Part II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's like when you think of thieves and stalkers, you think of the Holy Light when you think of paladins and priests, and when you think of scum...... Well, just like thinking of Gao Shuai and Fu, the undead creature of the banshee, the first thing that comes to mind is the kind of singing that can confuse people's hearts.
Before that, Gao He had heard many legends and anecdotes about banshees using their singing voices to confuse adventurers, and of course, most low-level banshees were only able to use the kind of "screams" that were so harsh that people couldn't even continue to chant spells instead of singing.
Only the higher banshees can use their singing voices to confuse people's minds and manipulate each other in a short period of time, and legend has it that the most powerful banshees can even assimilate the souls of others through singing, and then occupy other people's bodies for their own use.
At the beginning, when he heard this rumor, Gao He had a bad taste and fantasized about it...... If a female banshee occupies a man's body, it must be interesting to meet her fellow banshees.
After all...... It can't be ruled out that two lonely banshees will occupy two bodies, a man and a woman, to satisfy the empty soul, right?
Putting aside this nasty setting, Nozomi the Queen of the Dead? Nozomi's other identity is a high-level undead creature called the "Banshee King", but what has always been a concern for most humans is that this undead queen, Her Majesty, almost never shows her singing prowess as a banshee.
More often than not, Her Majesty the Queen only needs a look to make any enemy submit to her haughty figure, and legend has it that the only person in the world of Azerahi who has ever heard the song of the Banshee King is the prince of the past, Arthas, the strongest death knight now.
It is said that it was the song of the Banshee King that made His Royal Highness, who was also arrogant and uninhibited, willingly submit to the Queen of the Dead.
Whether this statement is true or not, Gao He doesn't know, but now, it seems that he can be a little proud of it.
Because, in the middle of the past, on the last night of Stratholme, he heard with his own ears the singing voice of the girl before she became the queen of the dead.
And he couldn't find any words to describe the song.
In fact, it seems a little inappropriate to say that this is a song - except for the first aria that really reaches the ear, and the next girl, who is suspended in mid-air and gradually blooms like a flower, all of them are fluctuations that are directly conveyed to the soul.
There were no sounds, no lyrics, no flashy dancing or applause, and at this moment, the whole old town fell into an unprecedented silence, and even the abominants and ghouls who had been in full swing with zombie transformation, and the dead who were slowly rising from the ground, stopped their stiff movements.
But it is this purest soul fluctuation that has brought everyone a ...... that is more beautiful and moving than any singing voice Feeling like never before.
The kind of tremor that directly tugged at the heartstrings made Gao He's body tremble slightly.
At this moment, what he felt was the boundless sadness that came directly from the girl's heart, because she had just lost her dearest relative.
"Uh......h It's so pitiful......"
By Gao He's side, the maid senior sister had already begun to cry, and it seemed that she also felt the mood conveyed by the girl's "singing".
As for Nagana and Yuu, the two girls remained silent, but Takawa noticed that Yuu's fingers holding the hammer tightened a little slightly, and Nagana, after a brief moment, shrouded himself again under the hood of his cloak.
“…… Hmph, that's uncomfortable. ”
Even if it's the Queen of the Dead? Xi himself, in a weak state, seems to be unable to immune to the spiritual song that this "living self" came out of, directly shaking the soul.
"Buzz ......"
With an impatient wave of her hand, a circular magic array composed of dense magic runes suddenly shrouded around Gao He's bodies, isolating the singing from the square.
This is another skill that the banshee is good at, and one of the most headache skills of all spellcasters, the anti-magic shell, unless you have a higher spell of that spell level, otherwise, no spell can penetrate this thin layer of runes within the duration of the spell, and damage the target it is protecting.
An anti-magic shell used by the Banshee King himself...... No, maybe it's an anti-magic barrier, this one? The spell in Nozomi's hand is self-evidently high-level.
When the "singing" of the girl from the square was cut off, Gao and the others finally gradually broke away from the sad love.
Despite this, the unprecedented experience, the feeling that the soul is directly touched, and even the feeling that the body and mind involuntarily follow the singer's feelings, makes Gao He a little reluctant.
"It's okay to listen to it a little longer......
He muttered quietly, and looked at Her Majesty's expressionless face again.
"It's your own song anyway......"
Obviously, Her Majesty the Queen is not in a very good mood now, and she naturally replied with a cold snort to Gao He's words.
"If you want to die with those undead in the future, take the protection of this anti-magic shell now, and I won't stop you."
Maybe it's to prove Nozomi? Nozomi's words, while Gao He was still looking out of the barrier with some disbelief, suddenly, an angry and frightened roar spread throughout Stratholme.
"This ...... What a power this is! It's going to directly hurt my soul origin!'
Similar to the Banshee, the Dreadlord is also a demon who specializes in using his voice to damage and weaken enemies, but at this moment, although the Dreadlord Marganis tried to use his Fear Roar to dispel the influence of the girl's song, it was clear that it was unable to do so.
In mid-air, the flowers behind the girl have begun to bloom in large areas, and when the pure white petals of the flowers open later, the flowers that open in front of them begin to wither rapidly.
White petals and green leaves, one after another, accompanied by the girl's silent soul song, sprinkled throughout the old town.
The first person to be touched by these spilled petals was a great abomination—I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it was this abomination that had mercilessly and gluttonously devoured the girl's dying sister who had been crushed under the collapsed house.
The moment it was touched by the petals, the behemoth, which had fallen into a state of stupora under the fluctuations of the girl's soul, suddenly contracted inward violently with its bulging belly and fat, rotten body.
"Quack...... Quack ......"
The shoddy sutures on the abomination collapsed under such intense force, and a large pile of disgusting fat and internal organs were squeezed out of the broken parts, and they flowed to the ground in a loud voice.
And this ...... It seems like this is just the beginning.
When the original round abomination has been compressed to the point that even the skeleton that is randomly spliced inside has been broken in half, the violent contraction seems to have reached its limit, and the next, what awaits this abomination is......
"Boom!"
Flesh and blood flying.
The violent explosion blew the abomination into completely shattered pieces of flesh, and the terrifying power of these flying pieces of flesh even directly lifted the nearby houses and ruins, causing large clouds of dust to be raised again in the already black mist, a messy square.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
One after another, all the undead who came into contact with these spilled petals and leaves, whether they were ghouls, abominations, or zombies that were killed and transformed later, all turned into scattered pieces of flesh and blood like the first abomination.
In the blink of an eye, the entire square had become a "sea of flesh" with blurred flesh and blood, and the evenly scattered pieces of flesh were like the lush fungal communities and mosses of the primeval jungle, spreading on the ground.
From Gao He's angle, it seems that on top of this square, a large carpet as red as blood has suddenly been laid out!
Is this the real "Banshee's Elegy"?!
originally thought that the previous soul fluctuations were the so-called "elegy" and didn't care about Gao He, but now when he thinks of the situation just now, he suddenly has a deep fear.
Imagine that in that situation where the spirit and ** are almost shocked by the power of the other party and have no resistance, they are turned into flesh and blood by this attack method that is almost completely defenseless, and there are no bones left......
“…… That's just the unfinished version. ”
It seems to see the meaning of the look in Gao He's eyes, Xi? Nozomi explained softly in a casual tone.
"At that time, although I had this power because I was infused with the flesh and blood of the evil god, I did not have enough magic to use this power completely, so I let the Marganis guy escape and finally died at the hands of Arthas."
Wait a minute......
This is already a very huge scene, and it is actually ...... Or is it just an unfinished version?
"And what does the finished version look like?"
The long name looks the same to Nozomi? Nozomi's statement is very curious, this seems to be the first time she has been with Queen Nozomi? Nozomi answered directly.
I don't know if it's because of her vampire identity, Nozomi? Nozomi answered her inquiry from a different angle.
“…… The reason why the Undead Scourge has never attacked New Britannia is precisely because the cunning lich knows that I have the strength to destroy the entire elite army of the Scourge in one blow. ”
Originally...... Is this the true power of Her Majesty the Queen in her heyday?
This...... Is it the power that the leader of a clan should have and must have?
Recalling the past, Gao He had a one-sided understanding of the leader and the hero-level powerful being, but at this moment, because Xi? Nozomi understated a sentence and immediately fell apart.
He could already imagine that since as the leader of the undead clan, the undead queen who had only recently risen had such a powerful strength, whether it was Tyrande, the priestess of Darnassus, the world Sasaiah of Oparima, or even the regent who was now acting as the government affairs of Light City, Grand Duke Berval? Ms. Vortagen may have the same level of power.
Think about it again, the undead scourge that can keep these powerful beings haunted and inextinguishable, and the incineration legion that has to go all out, even everyone to fight together...... What kind of terrible strength do these beings have?
It can even be said that Gao and the Dreaddemon King Bazanar they defeated before can only be regarded as a pre-dinner appetizer, and after that, there may be more, more terrifying and fierce battles, more powerful enemies, waiting for them to fight and win one by one......
Thinking of the future, maybe he will have to face these strong enemies, Gao He's heart is not only not afraid, I don't know why, at this moment, he even has an unknown excitement.
"What are you laughing at?"
Queen of the Dead Nozomi? Xi's cold words happened to come at this moment.
"I ......"
Gao He was a little speechless - he couldn't really say something like "Lao Tzu is going to take a few regiments and turn over the cars of you leaders one after another", right?
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, no one forces you."
Her Majesty the Queen was obviously very unhappy with Gao He's snort, and after another cold snort, she simply turned her head away and ignored him.
“……”
Sure enough, it was the original Selyse who had a cuter personality...... Lilith is even better.
If he knew that this was the case, Gao He might not have helped Xi at all? I hope she's got her memories back.
But...... Since he has such an important identity as the Queen of the Dead, even if he doesn't do this task, there will be other people who can help Nozomi in other ways? Xi Hui fù memory.
This is probably also the irreversible game process of the world of Azerohi.
For example, now, although there is no record in history, the undead queen in the past is still an ordinary Terran girl's Xi? Nozomi has shown a powerful power that makes the Dreadlord tremble, but even with such power, she still can't change the outcome of this historical process.
"Marganis! I'm coming!'
When the awe-inspiring voice of His Royal Highness Prince Alsace came from afar, Gao and the others had to change to another safe place so that they would not be exposed by this other powerful "enemy".
For Arthas, there are now only two categories of zài "own people" and "undead" in Stratholme, and even Gao He, who is recognized by the Holy Light, does not dare to guarantee that this prince will not carry the huge and shining war hammer in his hand when he sees him......
