Chapter 122: Attack on the Knight (Part II)
The dungeon's only temple stands on the heights of the Central District, surrounded by gardens and dead corridors, and there is no living person in the vicinity of the temple except for the scattered dead souls who have fled for their lives.
A dark cloud enveloped the temple, and at the entrance, there were clusters of imaginary creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits, flying in the air with bursts of eerie laughter, trying to stop the striding constructed knights.
"Balasa, disperse!"
Sitting on the shoulder of Knight No. 2, Charles shouted to the Paladin.
The Dragonborn sat on the lizard's back and nodded, took out the Holy Emblem of the Platinum Dragon God, held the sword in one hand and the Holy Emblem in the other, and controlled the large lizard under the seat, and suddenly jumped into the mist woven by the virtual creatures.
"Buzz"
The light came, the void creatures screamed, the mist thinned out a large patch, and Charles was on the knight's shoulder, chanting a spell to dispel it for the second time.
The entrance to the temple was clear for a moment, and the ground was covered with a layer of black ash as fine as sand.
"Balasa, get off your mount and put the two living beings in front." Charles jumped off the shoulders of Knight 2 and turned to the paladin.
"Okay."
The paladin dismissed the lizards, and Charles steered the knights 1 and 2 to step up the stone steps first, while he and Barasa hid behind the activated life body and stepped into the main hall with a steady pace.
The temple hall was lit with silver or gold candlesticks, and the curtain fell from the dome a dozen meters high, dividing the wide hall into several areas.
The prayer area faces the entrance to the hall and is lined with rows of benches and cloth cushions stuffed with cotton. If the temple had not been abandoned before, the worshippers of the Night Glory would have sat or knelt on a mat and recited a prayer in praise of their eternal beloved.
Charles and Barraza did not stop, and followed the Constructed Knight through the prayer area. Come to the altar area in the depths.
A circular, several meters in size, is floating on the altar.
The channel is surrounded by a trace of electric light. Dark rays twist and crisscross within it. According to Mario Carmen, Lord of Tivanton, this passage leads to the bottomless abyss. The dimensional realm of the demon prince Orcas. Although the passage is still under construction, it is still filled with an indescribable smell of blood and evil.
Glancing far into the passageway, Charles quickly withdrew his gaze and looked instead at the altar platform, where the shadow was covered in a black mist.
"Necromancy?"
Balasa's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately grabbed the holy emblem, ready to dispel the spell.
"Get out of the way. Balazar! ”
"Hide behind the construct!"
But at this time, Charles's pupils constricted sharply, and he was keenly aware of a breath of death rushing towards him. All perceivers generally have an innate ability to warn, and some priests who are close to the legendary level can even foresee their own death. In short, this feeling could not be wrong, and it had brought him out of danger several times.
Swish.
Charles didn't care about Balasa either, for he had a vague feeling that the attack was entirely directed at him. Without hesitation, he dodged behind a pillar-like thigh of Knight 2.
"Snort"
When Charles counted the attack, a red ray the thickness of a thumb shot out of the black mist. Along the straight track line, it landed on the lap of the No. 2 Constructed Knight in an instant.
Then the light was gone.
As if nothing had been born, the No. 2 Constructed Knight was still moving freely.
The structure has the characteristics of construction. Immunity to all psychic spells, as well as toxins, sleep, paralysis, shock, disease, and death-based effects.
The Charr was drenched in a cold sweat.
If he was not mistaken, the red ray just now looked like something in the Seven Rings spell.
It's a necromancy spell, and the one who hits it will die, unless he has it on his body, or he has identified the spell spell or posture in advance, and throws out his pet by tricks. Or catch a random bug and intercept it in the ray orbit, and you can basically avoid death.
But. In the silent temple, Charles didn't hear the spell of the dark shadow of the throne. This shows that the opponent's spell has already been prepared, and he may also have used his expertise to eliminate his own voice.
There is another possibility, and that is that it is the dark shadow's spell-like ability, rather than the canonical spell.
For example, the Winged Nightshadow can be thrown.
The Charr now hopes that the shadow on the throne is a monster rather than a wise necromancer.
The mage of the level 30 hero level has already touched the seventh layer of the magic net, and he can throw a lot of shields to counteract the damage on his body, and there are these transfer spells, which are very difficult to kill.
And if you are unlucky, you meet a magnanimous master, and your whole body is full of all kinds of magic props, and there is a wave of spell scrolls before the war, then you really can't fight.
"No. 1, use!"
"No. 2, use!"
To deal with the mage monster, you should take advantage of the failure to use the spell, strike a thunderbolt, and no longer give it a chance to prepare a spell. Charles immediately sent instructions to the two Constructed Knights.
"Boom"
"Boom"
The knight of the construct attacked the throne one after the other, and the two stone giant swords slashed at the throne one after another, and the black mist actually shattered with a "poof".
"No, it's a phantom!"
Charles was shocked, the necromancer should have activated the illusion effect of a magic prop in an instant after he missed, leaving an almost real phantom on the throne, and he didn't see it at all.
"The target is gone!"
"Balasa is coming closer to me!"
Ordering the two Tectonic Knights to return to their side and defend themselves, Charles shouted to the Paladin, and looked around the altar alarmingly.
There was a dead silence.
The candlelight floats faintly in the altar area through the curtain, and the ambient light is hazy, dim, but there is a bright light, and it doesn't take any sharp eyes to bring in all the pots and pots, collapsed tables and chairs, and dusty sacrificial vessels around them.
"Invisibility?" Charles pursed his lips.
Bala Sha was sweaty, looked around with his sword, and said in a solemn voice: "What to do, this monster is definitely a necromancer, proficient in magic. You can torture and kill us......"
"Protect me!"
"I'm going to force him out!"
"Can't give him time to chant advanced spells!"
Charles whispered to his Dragonborn teammates.
"Good!" Barraza didn't notice a strange look in the priest's eyes as he spoke.
The emblem is held in the palm of the right hand.
A golden glow seeped through between the fingers, making it stand out in the dim environment.
The priest's face was filled with a holy color. His lips were changing, and he whispered a mantra. Looks like he's concentrating on casting spells.
On the surface, it looks like this.
But in his heart, Charles quietly gave the No. 1 Construct Knight and went out with a mental command.
"Bang!"
The giant structure, which had stood still and guarded the priest and paladin, strode towards the empty altar, and with a single sword, it slashed into the abyss passage.
"Boom Boom ......"
The rift shook, white lightning flashed, and there was a loud rumbling sound like an earthquake. Coming out of the cracks, it looked like some large building had collapsed.
Passage information emerges from the Shire and Barasa's vision:
Health: 654/1ooo
……”
With just one sword, the Knight of the Construct has cut off nearly half of the health of the passage, and with another sword, the passage is finished.
When Charles saw the information, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as the priest expected, the stone sword of the knight had just fallen, and an irrepressible scream of anger immediately echoed in the temple.
"The monster is in the direction of three o'clock!"
"Kill him!"
Whispering to wake up the paladin, who was still in a stunned state, Charles stood still. First, he activated the 'Eagle Majesty' effect attached to the Eagle Feather Armor, and his charisma attribute was increased to 17 points, and then he recited a spell to control the divine arts.
Meantime. Knight 2 received the priest's order, and one step ahead of the paladin, he used a combat skill, and slashed horizontally at three o'clock, where there was a circular column.
Rumble!
The pillar collapsed, and in the smoke and dust, only a flash of magic flashed, and the shadow wrapped in black mist dodged the attack, appearing a few meters away from the attack position.
"Flashing?" Charles narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Destroy the Evil Slash!"
The shadow can dodge once, but not a second time. The place where it flashed was almost in front of Balasa. The Holy Warrior who reacted directly shouted and swung the long sword with the Holy Radiance in his hand.
"Shhhh
It's like an eggshell that has been cut. The mist that enveloped the shadow broke through the sword, revealing a skinny bone. A thin figure holding a staff and wearing a gorgeous robe.
That smell of decay and decay is terrible!
Barasa's lightsaber slashed away, and the cloak, bracers, and rings on the monster's body all shone with the magic light of the protective system, but the 'Evil Breaking Slash', full of divine power, still broke through the monster's defenses layer by layer, tearing a bloody scar on its body.
"It's a lich!!"
Charles' face turned ugly.
It's not a necromancer, it's a more terrifying lich. If it's a low-level wizard, it's fine to be in the early twenties, but a hero-level lich is not so easy to deal with.
He's also lucky to have a paladin teammate who provides a morale bonus of 4, and he wasn't affected by the lich's fear aura, otherwise he wouldn't have to fight at all.
"No matter, destroy the passage first!"
The lich was clearly more concerned about the situation in the passage, and Charles decided to continue to hold on to the lich's door. With two Constructed Knights in there, he won't necessarily lose.
At the side of the altar, the No. 1 Constructed Knight once again raised the seven or eight meter-long stone giant sword!
"Ah......h
"Holy Prens, you are trying to provoke an immortal lich!"
The lich who had just been repelled by Barraza roared in shock and anger when he saw this, and the ancient staff in his hand suddenly appeared with a strong magical light.
Whoosh whoosh ......
In an instant, the dim hall was shot out by a magic staff, and the dense balls of energy were completely illuminated. (To be continued)
