Chapter 0555: Death Chanter
For the sake of safety and prudence, the wizards summoned another earth elemental and trampled the entire cave, and then they were completely relieved.
The wizards who were waiting outside also fell down at this time, gathered at the entrance of the cave and looked enviously at the magical circle that was still slowly running in the cave, and they kept talking one after another. The resentment of seeing the remains of the same kind being desecrated by the enemy was also quickly put to rest, and everyone showed great interest in this otherworldly civilization.
They had arrived here to hunt down the intruders based on information from the Northland witches. Now that the enemy had fled, they had plenty of time to get their hands on the thing before a new order arrived.
The people who could enter the cave to scan the rubbing magic circle at close range were all wizards above the intermediate level, and they had to have at least a 3rd level, so the wisps of filthy and poisonous smoke that filled the cave couldn't hurt them at all. What they didn't know, however, was that under the stacks of wizard corpses inside the circle, there was a more miniature hidden circle that was also running simultaneously. Due to the concealment of the outer circle, the slight fluctuations emitted by the operation of this miniature circle were reasonably ignored by them.
This hidden circle slowly absorbed the power of death gathered by the undead circle, and with the help of some spiritual power left behind by Karthas, the power of death was silently transformed into another cold and obscure curse power. It's just that before it is activated, this curse power is only entrenched and grown, and there is no strange aura leaking at all, so it will not be detected by the wizards.
The power of the curse is not ignorant. They were hidden in the corpse pile, condensed and coiled with the Carthus spiritual power as the core, and had gradually grown to the critical point where the outer circle was about to be unable to hide. While absorbing power, a hidden and obscure mental fluctuation is constantly scanning the surroundings, silently marking those who need important attention within the scope of the attack.
When the power of the curse finally reaches the tipping point, the attack comes!
A terrifying humanoid form made of pure hazy phantoms suddenly appeared in the center of the circle, and this sudden change shocked all the wizards present. Everyone couldn't help but retreat in a hurry, and began to quickly bless and protect themselves.
There was no flesh and blood bursting in the air, no fireballs like cannons, this illusory humanoid face was incomprehensible, and raised its head and roared sharply:
"Death is a song that everyone will hear,
Do you feel the calling?
Let go of your earthly worries!
You're nothing more than a skin.
In the face of death, sooner or later,
We're all going to be pushed to death by time,
That's where the end of life comes together.
From the moment you start breathing, you're slowly dying.
You are the candle that is burning out,
Follow my voice and get out of the body!
Pain heralds your detachment,
May death free us all!
Ah, the kiss of death! â
With a chant like a hymn to death, a surging curse enveloped the audience, enveloping all the wizards in the cave. Ling Ran's irresistible curse power trembled in the rising chant, piercing through all external protections and sending the death chant into the soul of every wizard.
Those wizards who are blessed with spiritual protection or have super high spiritual power can barely hold themselves, but the rest of the wizards have fallen into the control of the "Requiem", singing the song of death along with the illusory human form.
With a muffled pop, the corpse pile exploded, and all the flesh and bones turned into a bloody curse under the grinding of the power of the magic circle, which penetrated through everyone's hearts and exploded in the depths of the wizard's soul!
Yes, the 17 wizards above the middle level present were all "polluted" by the power of the curse. Six died on the spot, and the rest of the people cursed and became "sick numbers" in urgent need of help. Among them, even the great wizard was not immune, and the purity of the sea of knowledge was polluted by this curse that penetrated deep into the soul.
The news came out, and the Wizards Association was shaken!
As a result, the horror and horror of the "Queen of Shadows" and the "Singer of Death" began to circulate in private. These two names flowed out of the mouths of high-ranking wizards, first quietly spread among low-level wizards, and then slowly spread to certain organizations close to wizards, and finally became a household name in the wizarding world.
Soon, they had reached the point where they were on par with some of the Abyssal World demons who had invaded the wizarding world in ancient times, and they had become peerless demons who cried at night.
Correspondingly, the high-level wizards who were still a little contemptuous of the invaders were a little unable to sit still, and some legendary wizards began to appear in various places, and gradually joined the ranks of encirclement and suppression of the invaders.
At the same time, the most majestic wizard tower of the Northland Witches kept running at full strength, and the sparkle of magic on the tower's body was constantly extinguished day and night. The latest locations of the invaders continue to be sent to wizard powers everywhere, guiding the way for their purge.
Three days later, the good news came out of the North County of Kosien. A fierce battle broke out in the local area led by the Silver Alliance Cleanup Team led by Archwizard Beto, and successfully strangled an extremely terrifying corpse witch.
Seven days later, under the joint attack of two legendary witches of the Northland, an extremely powerful and strange necromancer was also strangled by Shun LĂŹ.
So in just 18 days after the invaders arrived, the well-documented results were to strangle 3 intruder undead and severely damage a strange knight-type undead. However, the search team sent out was deflated one after another at the hands of the "Shadow Queen" and the "Death Carter", and many middle and high-level wizards were damaged. Although there is no record of the death of the great wizard in battle, all discerning people can see that the remaining three invaders are not good stubble.
If you want to scrape some oil off them, you really have to pay for your life!
However, to the paradoxical feeling of all the wizard leaders, from all the location information transmitted from the Witch God Clone, only a maximum of 6 intruders can be detected.
And there are obviously 7 intruders!
Did the remaining intruder die somewhere, or did it have the strength to keep out the prying eyes of the Witch God's clone? No one knows this and doesn't want to know.
Anyone who despises the intruder has been shaken by the piles of death lists at this moment, and felt the ferocity rushing towards his face.
Those with a heart only need to sketch out the routes of the remaining Queen of Shadows and the Death Carolers to make their intentions clear as they try to come together.
A thick black line originates from the Tirisfal Glades on the outskirts of the Thunder Mountains, and follows the edge of the jungle eastward, passing through dust swamps, twilight forests, and headwind trails, leading to the Ironstone Highlands of the central continent.
Another thick red line originates from the Fire Feather Mountains in the eastern part of the continent, from where it travels westward, through the lofty mountains, and is also striving towards the ironstone highlands.
Ironstone Heights!
What's there in Ironstone Heights?
There is the most prosperous commercial and densely populated urban agglomeration in the wizarding world, and it is the core area of repeated competition between several major wizarding organizations. Several major wizarding organizations occupy their own vast territory as the origin of the continent, and refuse the infiltration of foreign wizarding organizations, but in the most prosperous and lively area in the middle of the continent, none of the wizarding organizations dare to declare that this is their own sphere of influence.
Although there are many wizarding towers here, most of them belong to small and medium-sized wizarding families or loose small wizarding organizations. The strength of each of them is very small, and a high-level wizard within the system can be regarded as a pillar, but once condensed, it is also a terrifying force that cannot be underestimated. In order to resist the invasion and infiltration of several major wizarding organizations, they also formed a loose council of wizards in Tallinn in the east, and resisted the entry of large forces by huddling together for warmth.
To be honest, although the central part of the continent is the region with the highest concentration of wizard power, it is also the region with the most scattered strength. All kinds of wizard forces are mixed together, so that the color map here is not as pure and single as the surrounding area, and it belongs to the chaotic land where fish and dragons are mixed.
If these two invaders really let the stars break into the iron and stone heights, it will be like putting a mouse into a porcelain shop, and if you want to open and close the encirclement and suppression, you will inevitably have to consider more factors. Although the Wizarding Council of Eastern Tallinn does not completely reject the encirclement and suppression of invaders on the surface, it is still worried about the entry of personnel from large organizations such as the Wizards Association, the Silver Alliance, and the Northland Witches, which also restricts the play of wizards' pursuit power from the side.
Under the supervision and pull of the major forces, the intensity of the purge has been greatly attenuated compared to before, which also gives the ghost girl and Karthas a good respite. To tell the truth, thanks to the blessing of that good title, the strangulation team that followed was composed of elite wizards in the wizarding organization, all of whom were extraordinary and had their own tricks. If it weren't for the fact that the invaders' killing methods were completely different from theirs, I'm afraid the two would have been planted in the successive sea of people offensive.
Since the black crystal armor was restored, the ghost girl has been able to avoid most of the siege with her elusive talent, leaving a great deal of leeway between advance and retreat. But Karthas couldn't. Most of the elite undead servants that had been refined before had fallen in the continuous siege, but what was not left behind was that their strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and they soon changed from beginner-level undead to high-level beings.
Even Karthas himself has stepped into the ranks of level 14 step by step in the continuous killing.
You must know that he was only level 12 at the beginning of his arrival, but in just a few days, he started with killing, using flesh and blood as bait, and feeding on his soul, and completely relied on his own hard work to achieve the success in front of him.
However, on the eve of approaching the Ironstone Heights, Calthas finally ran out of supplies he had brought with him.
