218. Ghost Sword. Demon Boy
The domain is the embodiment of the rules.
The strength of the realm of the Sacred Realm powerhouse depends on the powerhouse's comprehension and analysis of the law. In other words, the more in-depth the understanding of the law, the more solidified the field it shows, and the stronger the effect of its abilities will be. It is said that the kingdom of the gods is actually the realm of enchantment manifested by their complete control over the rules.
At this time, the realm that Sean and the others fell into naturally could not be compared to the kingdom of the gods.
But as long as it involves the existence of the realm, it is naturally not negligible.
The sudden change in the surrounding scene is naturally a matter that needs to be paid attention to urgently for Sean and others.
Although everyone was deeply trapped in the realm of the unknown at this time, and although the surrounding environment was not enough to reach out and not see five fingers, the scenery three meters away was completely engulfed in darkness, and it was impossible to see clearly, and even the bonfire that Sean had placed on the ground to make it easier for him to toss the large pile of gold coins and materials was completely invisible at this time. It's as if this darkness is substantial, and not just because of the light.
Sean, Harding, and Rottikabas leaned back to back on each other to form a triangular formation.
That murderous aura like substance lurks in this substantial darkness, and it is not too far away from Sean and them. But now because of this darkness, Sean and the others can't see who the person who exudes this murderous aura is, and they don't even know in what way and from which angle he will attack, the only thing Sean and the others can do. That's all you have to defend here.
"I'm trying to improve my strength more and more." In the face of this unknown threat, Harding did not dare to be careless, he had already summoned out his flesh and blood armor. And attached to his own body, providing him with a very considerable defensive ability.
"Me too." Rottikabas's face also looked very unhappy, he was not good at this kind of passive defensive combat, the main reason was that his weapons were so exaggerated, that once the battle space was reduced, his position and storage would become very embarrassing.
"This field is not complete." Sean looked around. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, what he said was different from Harding and Rottikabas, "This is still a prototype." Strictly speaking, it can't even be considered a realm, and the other party may not be a real Sanctuary powerhouse, which means that we may not necessarily lose to the other party. ”
"Your analysis is accurate."
In the darkness, a deep voice was heard.
Just listen to your voice. There is no way to tell the age of this person. But it can still be judged that the age will not be less than 30 years old.
"It's true that I haven't become a true Sanctuary powerhouse yet." The man's voice in the darkness rang out again, "But I'm only speaking to correct one of your mistakes. …… It's not that you can't lose to me, but ...... You're definitely going to die here. ”
While saying this, Sean and the others immediately noticed that the murderous aura was moving.
But the next moment, everyone looked horrified.
It is true that the murderous aura has a trajectory of movement, but almost the moment it just moved, what Sean and the others could perceive was that this murderous aura was so strong that it was close at hand!
There is only one consequence of this. That is, the enemy is already in front of everyone!
But in the darkness they saw nothing. So the only thing they can do. It was to swing the weapon in his hand towards the location of this murderous aura to resist the possible ensuing kills.
The clash of gold and iron sounded in the darkness, but no sparks appeared.
It was as if all the light had disappeared in this space.
But what is even more frightening is that with a short but fierce and rapid confrontation, Sean keenly captured the surrounding dark area and expanded - the original visibility was within three meters, but now it has become only about two meters, which means that under the confrontation just now, these darkness further swallowed everyone's visual space.
"Be careful! The dark space is expanding! Sean hurriedly reminded, "Let's try not to scatter!" ”
"It's amazing, Lord Sean, that you have an incredibly keen sense of observation." The low and magnetic voice in the darkness sounded again, but unlike at the beginning, there was a single sound source, and this time when the voice sounded, Sean and the others could no longer distinguish the specific location of the other party, because the sound was transmitted from the entire dark space, as if there were countless people speaking the same sentence.
"Perceptual disturbance?" Sean's brow furrowed.
Although the realm is the embodiment of the laws of the world, there are thousands of laws in the world, and different people will have different interpretations and cognitions even if they analyze the same law, so these laws are not only their existence but also their derivative abilities. However, on the whole, it can still be classified into four types: [Support Battle] with attack means, [Support Effect] such as accelerating one's damage recovery or making attacks inflict special effects, [Enhancing Ability] such as increasing one's own strength or speed, and [Weakening the enemy] such as slowing down the enemy's attack speed and movement speed or strength and stamina, or even directly weakening the enemy.
Perceptual Disrupt, an uncommon domain-derived ability that belongs to the type of [Weaken Enemy].
Generally speaking, the means chosen by the powerhouses of the Sanctuary to weaken the enemy will be mainly to slow down the enemy's movement speed, attack speed, and even strength, stamina, etc., and no matter how bad it is, it will directly make the enemy fall into a state of weakness, weakness, and so on. An ability like disrupting perception that has almost no practical effect will hardly be chosen by any Sacred Domain powerhouse, but at the moment, this enemy, his domain ability, makes Sean and the others can't help but fall into a desperate situation.
In a way, this is also a very extreme character.
"What the hell is this darkness!" Harding said with some anger, although he could probably ignore the other party's attack. But the behavior of being able to only be beaten but not backhand made him feel unusually irritable, "Do you have such a domain ability?" ”
"Yes." Sean was still on guard, though he couldn't tell where the enemy was. However, the awe-inspiring murderous aura is always a flaw, as long as you can sense the location of the murderous aura, you can still sense the enemy's attack timing, "Just like pure light, this is pure darkness." In this darkness, we can't see anything, so once we are finally surrounded by this darkness. You must not be separated, otherwise you will be in trouble. ”
Almost at this moment, the fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared beside the three Sean again.
But this time. The opponent's attack position is too tricky - in this direction, only Rhoti Kabas and Harding can launch a counterattack, but the opponent's attack is an upward stab against Roti Kabas, in the case of Roti Kabas. In this case of being close to the close-fitting. It was unlikely that he would want to launch a counterattack, and when Harding reacted and reached out to intercept, the opponent's attack had already pierced into Rhoticamas's ribs.
A muffled snort emanated from Rottikabas's mouth.
However, as an underground race resident who has been fighting on the brink of life and death for a long time, Rottikabas also reacted extremely quickly. When he was attacked, he did not panic at all, but instead left his left hand free, and then judged the enemy's position with his rich experience in the enemy. Straight punch down.
This punch really hit the opponent in the face.
The same muffled snort. It also came from the other person's mouth, but because of the disturbance of perception, the sound sounded more like the sound of dozens of people. However, at this moment, there was a strange surge in the darkness around him, like boiling water, but the darkness did not recede, but it did not continue to compress the space of Sean and the others, and still maintained the visibility just now.
Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time he didn't forget to say, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Hearing Sean's words, Rotikabas immediately spoke, "But...... Feel like the other person is a child? ”
"Little children?" Harding let out an exclamation, "What do you mean?" ”
"I also hit the opponent's punch just now, and from the angle of the opponent's attack, the feeling of the weapon entering the body, and the reaction when I hit the punch, it made me think that the opponent was a child." Rottikabas's tone was a little uncertain, "That's the kind of ......"
"Is the other party the size of a child?" Sean opened his mouth to take Rottikabas's words, "Probably an eight- or nine-year-old child?" ”
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Rottikabas nodded as he covered his wounds.
"You're a magic boy." Sean said in a deep voice, "In this way, this realm is the 'Lightless Domain'. ”
Sean is not speaking in question, but in affirmative.
There was no sound around, as if the other party no longer existed. But the dark space in front of them has not receded, which is the most powerful evidence that the other party has not left, so Sean and the others naturally did not dare to relax in the slightest.
After a long time, a voice finally sounded in the darkness around them: "It seems that we Deaththorn really underestimated you, Lord Sean. ”
This time, the way the magic boy addressed Sean has also changed.
"My domain was formed three years ago, but it was less than half a year when I decided on the name of the domain, and even the internal department was not very clear about my domain ability, and there were less than twenty people who really fought with me, and they were basically people from within our dead thorns." As if dozens of demon boys were talking, the voice came from the darkness in all directions, looking extremely weird, "It seems that there is indeed a traitor within us." …… But it's surprising that Lord Sean was able to bribe the people within us. ”
Death Thorn, as the oldest and only organizational force in the Miracle Continent that dares to go to war with the group of madmen of the Peace Council, its background is naturally extraordinary, so there must be a very mature and perfect system inside. Generally speaking, the probability of a traitor in an organization like this is almost uncountable, because the killer organization hates the mutineer the most, so if a traitor is found, internal purge is a terrible thing.
If there were traitors to Deaththorn before, Demon Boy was definitely the first to disbelieve.
But now. But he had to believe that there was really something wrong with Deaththorn, and this person was probably still in Deaththorn's status and status. Otherwise. I can't explain why Sean is so clear about the situation of the Dark Nest, and I can't explain why it hasn't been half a year since the naming of this realm, and even some of the members of the Thirteen Coffins don't know, but Sean is able to break it in one go.
Of course, the demon boy must not be able to understand and go through this kind of thing.
"Everybody has a price." Sean was silent for a moment before speaking. Anyway, since the other party thinks that he has bought the people inside Deaththorn, and Deaththorn now regards him as a mortal enemy, then it can make chaos inside Deaththorn. Sean is naturally willing to do it, "The so-called principles, bottom line, and conscience are just excuses that the chips are not high enough." ”
"I'm curious about what kind of price Lord Sean offered." The voice of the demon boy came out again. But this time it wasn't the feeling of being in all directions. It's just one sound.
Immediately afterward, the darkness in front of everyone's eyes suddenly began to separate to the left and right like the water of a river that had been diverted by hitting a reef. A child who looked to be about eight or nine years old, holding two beautifully shaped antique daggers, walked out of the darkness of the divergence, his eyes were not only cold, but even his facial expression was so cold that just one glance at him made one feel as if he was in an ice cave.
The short sword in his right hand at this time. There was blood dripping slowly, and it was clear that this was the sword that had stabbed Rhotikabas just now.
"Do you want to make a deal with me too?" Sean stared at the demon boy. Laugh softly.
About Ghost Sword. Magic Boy, the game's official profile describes it like this:
- Ben is a master swordsman who travels across the continent to hone his swordsmanship, but during an adventure, he is involved in the conspiracy and assassination of the Duchy of Kree because he rescued a young girl. He should have been praised for his heroic appearance, but because of the slander of the plotters and the silence of the girl, he was tortured and humiliated. While in prison, he was dying and attracted the Devil's prying eyes because of his strong desire for revenge, so he agreed to the Devil's offer to obtain great power through a contract, and then he waved a butcher's knife at all those who slandered him, including the girl's family.
When the girl begged for his forgiveness with tears and tears, he did not relent, and even took cruel revenge and ravages against the girl, until his body and mind finally fell into darkness completely. But after taking revenge, instead of fulfilling his promise to the devil, he killed the devil instead. Under the devil's dying curse, he not only lost all his powers, but even became what he is now - his soul will be imprisoned forever in a body that cannot grow.
However, he did not choose to compromise on this. Years of adventures on the continent strengthened his will, and after years of training, he finally regained his strength, and at the same time, he also used the devil's bones and flesh as materials to create two short swords for himself, the ghost sword and the demon boy. Over time, he chose to forget and even forgot his name, so he simply called himself the Demon Boy, and the Ghost Sword was his nickname.
In the game's history, Ghost Sword. The Demon Boy is one of the thirteen coffins of Deaththorn that has been dug up by players with the most history and introduction.
Of course, being able to mine so much content by players must also represent the ghost sword. The fate of the Demon Boy is not much better - in an open mission against Deaththorn, in a siege battle by several large guilds in the Western Continent, this genius swordsman who was pinned on by Deaththorn was killed, and his fall is worthy of the system arranged so much ink for him - both Ghost Sword and Demon Boy are legendary weapons of epic quality, in addition to some fragments of his domain ability "Lightless Domain".
Realm fragments are a major feature of the game.
When the player forms the domain, the system will filter out some options according to the player's game habits and thinking, combat style, etc., and then the player will put it together by himself, and then each time the level is raised, he will get a domain enhancement ability. However, this kind of enhancement is relatively fixed, and the choice given to the player is not very large, so many times the player is naturally unlikely to be satisfied.
Domain fragments, on the other hand, are a good solution to this problem for players. In the game, if you kill a Sanctuary powerhouse, you will have a certain probability of dropping domain fragments. These realm fragments can be fused into the player's own realm to replace or even enhance their own realm abilities - although this is not without limits. For example, the domain law of the "Lightless Domain" is "darkness", so it is necessary for players with domain abilities to use "darkness" as the main law to be able to fuse this domain fragment.
As for domain naming. The names of NPCs in the game will naturally be more appropriate for their own domain abilities. But the name chosen by the player is more undisciplined, Sean remembers that his chairman named his domain "Middle Two World", and the chief thief in the guild named his domain "Infinite Burst Chrysanthemum Enchantment", and even some messy things like "Armstrong Boom Cannon", "Flame Dafa is good" and so on...... It is said that the entire elite group of people does not have a single domain name, which is normal.
Sean wasn't quite sure if killing a Sanctuary powerhouse in this world would drop the Realm Sanctuary, but he was sure that as long as he killed the Ghost Sword. Demon Boy, then he will definitely be able to get his hands on those two short swords. Even if it's not for your own use. It can also be sold for a lot of money, and it is also good to help make up for the finances of the territory.
As for recruiting ghost swords. Magic Boy?
Sean just said casually, looking at the red and purple circle of light on the other party's body. It's obvious that it's impossible to recruit characters.
However, at this time, Sean was still looking around with extreme vigilance.
Generally speaking, there are ghost swords. Where the demon boy is, there will inevitably be an undead corpse girl. Wendy. Sean remembers killing Ghost Sword at that time. The main teams of the Demon Boy all received a "Wendy's hatred" DUBUFF. THIS DUBUFF HAS ONLY ONE EFFECT. That is, this person only needs to be in front of Wendy. will be listed as the first hatred by Wendy and will be attacked by madness.
"I wonder what I'm worth?" The Demon Boy didn't know that Sean had the True Eye to see through his hostility, so he still asked.
"Then it depends on what price Your Excellency Demon Boy is willing to pay." Sean thought for a moment, and suddenly walked towards the demon boy and said, "If you are willing to become my follower, then I will definitely offer you a reward that satisfies you." …… But if it's just a one-time collaboration or something else, then it's a different story. After all, I'm a nobleman, so you can't let me do some loss-making business. ”
Seeing Sean walking towards him defenselessly, the demon boy hesitated slightly. He also began to greet Sean: "That's indeed the truth. But, Lord Sean. If you want me to become your follower, I'm afraid this price is not cheap. ”
"I know." Sean nodded, then smiled, "But if I can get a talent like His Excellency Demon Boy to join my command, even if the price is not cheap, then I will try my best to fight for it." …… After all, there aren't many people in this world who have as much potential as Lord Wonder Boy. ”
"Looks like Lord Sean knows me in detail." There was a hint of a smile on the face of the magic boy, and he looked very light.
But familiar with the ghost sword. The Demon Boy is very clear that once he shows such an appearance, it means that the killing intent in his heart is very strong.
"It should be said that I would like to recruit you thirteen coffins." Sean was still smiling, "It's just a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to talk to you face-to-face." ”
"There's going to be a chance." The demon boy still smiled and nodded, as if it was an old friend's greeting, "If Lord Sean is willing, I can introduce it for you." ”
At this point, the distance between the two sides is less than a meter.
"Okay." Sean nodded excitedly, "If that's the case, it couldn't be better!" ”
"Huh."
"Huh."
Sean and the Demon Boy looked at each other and chuckled, and the dark area around them seemed to have begun to weaken because the Demon Boy was no longer hostile. Seeing that these two people looked like they were laughing and talking at this time, Harding and Rottikabas were also a little relieved, I don't know why, when facing this little ghost, the two residents of the underground world always felt a lot of pressure.
It's just that at the moment when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, a violent collision of gold and iron and the explosion of powerful air currents suddenly sounded.
In the next moment, the original visibility had expanded to a dark area around ten meters, and the entire space was completely engulfed at this moment! (To be continued......)
