202. Harboring a Ghost Fetus [Thank You Alliance Leader Shadow の月]
Probably because the world is not chaotic enough.
Freeing a group of culprits imprisoned in an abandoned space, the door to the energy chamber is being opened.
But as soon as it was opened, a strong smell of blood choked Sean and the others' expressions.
At this time, what caught the eyes of Sean and the others was a hideous picture like a Shura field.
In the corridor outside the energy room, Sean remembered that there must have been several destroyed puppets outside.
But now, the remains of the puppets outside the corridor are completely gone, replaced by blood splashed everywhere like whitewash, not to mention the human stumps that are scattered everywhere like decorations. Even the scenes of those horror movies that Sean once saw were not as shocking and trembling as the scene in front of him.
Almost all of the corpses were in pieces, and nothing could be found intact.
And looking at the ground and walls, which are almost all red with blood, based on this amount of blood, I am afraid that no less than 100 people died here.
"Looks like something happened here when we entered that twisted space." Rottikabas said in a deep voice.
"The blood stains have completely coagulated, and the number of days of death is probably more than three days." Harding crouched down, then observed the surrounding blood and the remains of the corpses before speaking, "These corpses don't look like they were killed with a sharp weapon, but more like ......."
"Shredded with his bare hands." Rottikabas took Harding's words, "It's a lot like your fighting style." ”
"Compared to him. He's more like a demon. Harding said lightly, "At least, I won't be so cruel." Many of the bodies here were shredded unsuspectingly. Depending on the situation, it should be that the other side has already disarmed or surrendered, and the other side has made this kind of attack without leaving prisoners. ”
"Brutal, dictatorial." Sean glanced around, then spoke, "But whatever, we'll all have to be careful with that next." …… There is nothing here for us to hide and hide. So once you meet someone else, then it must be a battle. ”
"But we need to know what's going on here after we're gone." Cecilia whispered, "If it's not a particularly dangerous battle. I think we should keep a few alive. ”
"Why bother." The old lich suddenly spoke, "Your judgment is good, and you have been dead for three days. As he said this, the old lich glanced at Harding. Although no one was able to see its eyes. But for some reason, everyone could feel the old lich looking at Harding with an approving look: "The souls of these dead have not been harvested, and I can still read their memories." ”
Everyone's faces were a little strange about the old lich's words, and no one said no, but no one agreed with the old lich's approach.
The soul is the realm of the gods and is forbidden to mortals to be involved.
However, undead creatures such as necromancers, necromancers, and even lichs have always interfered with and even carried out soul realization. Therefore, the gods naturally do not like these undead creatures. Perhaps only the main god who once called himself Hades would like it, but now the godhead of the main god is shattered. There is only a third of the kingdom left, and it is difficult to know if this god will continue to protect necromancers and necromancers.
But the only thing that is clear is that this god will never like lichs.
And this old lich wants to read the memories of these souls, which is actually equivalent to plundering the souls that may enter the kingdom of the god of death, which is naturally an offense to the god of death. The reason why Heatley didn't open her mouth was because she didn't find that there were souls who believed in any god here, which meant that the souls who were still here at the moment were souls without faith, and their fate would either become ghosts or enter the kingdom of death.
Regardless of what the others thought, the old lich soon began to take matters into its own hands.
In everyone's eyes, countless points of light suddenly lit up from the corridor, and as the old lich's bony fingers waved, these points of light flew over like fireflies attracted by something, and then converged on the tips of the old lich's index fingers. These countless points of light continue to converge, but they do not make this point of light bigger, but the color of the points of light becomes more and more crystal clear, and it looks more like refining something.
Sean's brow furrowed, although he didn't know much about the lich, but as a blacksmith, he could probably guess what the old lich was doing.
Collecting souls is one of the lich's favorite things to do, so collecting enough souls and then condensing them to create a more powerful soul is naturally the lich's favorite thing to do. As for the so-called memory reading, in fact, it is just a side effect for the lich, after all, the lich only needs a strong soul, and this soul must also be loyal to himself, as for any emotions, memories, etc., naturally it is not what he needs, so he must abandon and throw it all away.
Soon, when the point of light became like a white bead of light, the old lich unsurprisingly put the bead away.
Then, it turned its head to look at Sean, and then said, "These greedy guys fell into an ambush, which is why they all died here." …… Some people told them that there were a lot of treasures here, and indeed many people had successfully brought out a lot of treasures from this ruin, so they let these people frantically come in here to explore, but they fell into a trap and suffered heavy casualties. ”
"Trap?" Harding glanced at the corpse wreckage all over the ground, and said, "What kind of trap would have such an outcome?" ”
"I'm not done yet, little kid interjecting." The old lich said dissatisfiedly, "These guys were quite smooth at first, and the harvest and progress were good, until they fell into the trap. After the heavy casualties, their exploration became cautious. …… By the way, I forgot to mention. These guys don't seem to be from a group, but people from several forces, and it's because of the trap that they have to join forces. ”
Everyone listened silently, and no one said anything.
"And this qiē is all after they open the front door......"
"The Magic Barrier Gate!" Sean looked shocked, "They actually opened the door of the Golden Knight?" So...... The Twin Knights must have been dealt with by them. ”
"Twin knights?" The old lich was stunned for a moment.
Sean described the twin knight a little. But it turned out to be exchanged for a shake from the old lich: "There are no puppets like this in their memory. …… All in all, they were going to challenge the Golden Knight, which was quite smooth at first. Although a lot of people died, at least there was still hope of victory, after all, their skills were still good, but just when they were about to succeed. was suddenly attacked by another force behind him. ”
"Another force?"
"Yes. The leader of this force seems to be called Maine. The old lich uttered a voice of amazement, "These corpses on the ground are all his masterpieces. …… I can't see it, the technique is quite capable, and obviously this kind of bare-handed tearing work is not less. …… And it is true that as the demon imp said, these guys saw that it was impossible to win, so they chose to surrender, and as a result, this guy named Mai En collected their weapons. A massacre was carried out against these unarmed fellows. ”
"Maine!" Sean let out an exclamation, "Dragon Shatterer. Maine! I actually forgot about this guy! ”
"Sounds powerful?" Suddenly a faint purple flame lit up in the old lich's hollow eyes.
"It's a very troublesome opponent." Sean's brow furrowed. Naturally, his face couldn't be seen well, "This guy is probably a powerhouse at the peak of the upper gold, but ...... Because he had devoured all kinds of dragon meat for a long time, his strength and endurance were stronger than ordinary upper-rank golden peak powerhouses, almost comparable to the physique of a holy domain powerhouse. If I play him head-to-head, I can't win in a short period of time in a one-on-one situation. ”
"This guy is your enemy, isn't he?" The old lich asked, "How about it, do you want to use the last sigil?" ”
"No need." Sean smiled at the old lich, "He's just a little troublesome, not enough to bother you to do it yourself." …… The opportunity to imprint three times, I can't use it on these little people, right? ”
"Budget-conscious imp." The old lich didn't seem to care, just shrugged his shoulders, "So little ghost, what are you going to do next?" Is it here that they parted ways? I still have a lot of things I want to do, but I don't have time to spend time with you all the time. ”
"Your Excellency, don't you want to see what the Mermaid Empire looks like?" Sean's eyes rolled, then he suddenly pulled Lanster out and said with a sincere smile, "You also know that this guy is a real merfolk member, he knows that there is a mermaid empire buried in this dungeon, this time we are here to explore the ruins of this mermaid empire, don't you want to see it?" Maybe it's the ruins of the first mermaid empire, and it will help you regain your memory. ”
"Why should I recover memories that I have completely discarded?" The old lich's rhetorical question made Sean completely unsure of how to speak for a while, but before Sean could speak again, the old lich said again: "Well, I suddenly changed my mind, you just need to show me the spatial ring on your hand, and I will accompany you to explore this ruin." ”
"Your Excellency, you don't want to steal what I'm in, are you?" Sean looked at the lich with some suspicion.
"I'm not interested in what's hidden in you." The old lich's tone was full of disdain, "I'm just interested in the person who made this ring. …… It just so happens that I know a guy who made a good space storage ring, and I feel a familiar aura on it, so I wanted to borrow it from you to see if it was made by a guy I know. ”
"I don't think it's possible that someone you know made it." Sean is not very clear about the origin of this storage ring, he only knows that it was given to him by Andrew, but even so, but after thinking about it for a while, Sean still handed the ring to the lich, "But I'm not such an unkind guy, so I'll lend it to you, maybe you can also recover some memories because of this." ”
"You're such a nice guy." There was a slight smile in the old lich's voice.
And Sean's face also showed a smile: "But don't forget, you want to accompany us to explore the entire underground ruins." ”
"A real budget-conscious imp." The old lich muttered, "It looks like I'm mistaken, it's just a little similar, but it's not the other party's handiwork." ”
The old lich said as he handed the spatial storage ring back to Sean.
But in the invisible hood, there was a purple flame burning even more vigorously in the empty eye sockets of the lich: "I really didn't feel wrong, it was indeed Andrew's breath." …… What is the relationship between this imp and Andrew? (To be continued......)
