Chapter 420: Half-Lich Congus
Standing in front of the sarcophagus, Henry noticed the warning words carved on it in various languages, and countless guardian runes scattered around. It seems that the mage of Nisril has put a lot of effort and thought into sealing Congus, and the enchantment on this coffin alone is worth at least nearly a million gold coins. He cautiously stretched out a hand, and before he could touch the coffin, the lid on it automatically opened a slit.
In an instant, a terrifying black evil aura rose into the sky, and all the people in the entire underground hall couldn't help but get goosebumps, if it weren't for the "resistance to fear" in play, I am afraid they would all be unable to help but sit on the ground with weak legs and stomachs. I saw a golden skull floating and wanted to come out of it, but all the guardian runes around the coffin lit up, forming a faint energy diaphragm. Obviously, this is the effect of the seal.
The Golden Skull slammed it twice in annoyance, then opened its mouth and said in a deep voice, "Finally...... Finally I woke up again. Who are you? Why wake me up? β
Henry didn't answer immediately, but took a closer look at the powerful half-lich. Its entire head was plated with a thick layer of gold, and the magic patterns on it were similar to those of the gold skeleton, which should have been carved by the mage of Nisriel.
The second striking feature is the eight zuΓ² teeth made of unknown gems, all of which are undoubtedly soul gems, each of which is equivalent to a normal lich's name box, and as long as one of them is well preserved, it will not actually die. Finally, there is the ring set in the eye socket, although it looks a little inconspicuous, but for anyone who is familiar with the plot, it will not underestimate its role.
The half-lich was a little anxious to see that Henry was silent. I'm afraid that the living person I met for the first time in so many years will just leave. Hurriedly and loudly promised: "Stranger." I need your help. If you can help me escape from this coffin, you will have unimaginable wealth. β
"Oh?" The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling. He remembers it clearly, in the game, this guy will be hacked as soon as he recovers his freedom, don't talk about any wealth when the time comes, you are lucky not to be killed.
"Trust me! My name is Congus, and I'm cursed to be what I am now. Those murderous enemies didn't just kill me. And he sealed my soul with evil methods. But this curse can be lifted, and if you are willing to help, I will be able to regain my freedom and resurrection. For the sake of the suffering that I have endured for so many years...... Please......" said the half-lich with a pitiful look.
Henry sighed to himself: long periods of loneliness and loneliness are indeed the most unbearable torture of all intelligent beings. Look at what it has only been a few hundred years to force a powerful half-lich to become, not only has he learned to coerce and seduc, but now he even uses it to pretend to be pitiful, where is there still a little dignity and spirit of a top undead creature.
But it's no wonder, after all, being locked in such a black coffin all day long, unable to get in touch with the outside world, no one to speak, no magic research, no books, not even a sound, I am afraid that a normal person would have gone crazy a long time ago.
You must know that there are people on earth who have done similar things. For example, in confinement, auditory hallucinations will occur after more than half a month. Two months of mental normalcy. It is not easy for Congus to keep his mind clear after being imprisoned for hundreds of years, probably thanks to his strong soul power and long hibernation.
"Okay, tell me, how can I help you?" Henry pretended to be warm-hearted, and at the same time sneered psychologically: "Isn't it just fighting for acting, and you can still laugh when the golden skeleton explodes." β
Apparently unaware that the young man in front of him was scheming against himself, Congols continued to put on a pitiful face and said, "Those ferocious demons, fearing that I would be resurrected back to earth, tore my soul apart with a shell made of gold and sealed it, hiding them in different places. Just get them back, and I'll be able to reshape a human. β
As the saying goes, do a full set of plays. Henry deliberately made an exaggerated expression, then picked up the golden skeleton placed next to him and asked, "Could this be what you said?" I found it in a coffin, and I'm going to sell it to a merchant for some money. You know, it's all gold, and it's worth a fortune. β
"That's right! That's right! That's it! Give it to me! Put it in the sarcophagus. The half-lich's voice trembled as he spoke. If it weren't for the power of the guardian rune, it is estimated that it would have jumped out and snatched it by now.
"Of course, I'm a helpful adventurer." As he spoke, Henry quietly gestured as he handed the skeleton in, signaling everyone to start preparing for battle.
Kogan, Viconia, Fed, and the three Elemental Princes all moved into their designated positions, but fortunately Congus was concentrating on repairing his body, otherwise he would have noticed the movement around the hall. After all, the size of Sunis, the prince of earth elements, is too large, and the main constituent element is still a hard stone, so it is impossible to be silent.
"Hahaha! I knew it! I knew those damn bastards couldn't trap me! The great Congus is back! Death will rain down on the world! β
With a rampant shout, a skeleton with a golden body crawled out of the coffin, wrapped in a layer of black energy that seemed to be absent from its body, and its eyes were shining like rubies.
It glanced around itself, then asked with a sneer, "My dear life-saver, it seems that you are prepared?" β
"Yes. You don't think a spellcaster of my level doesn't even know a half-lich, do you? Henry asked with a wicked smile.
He could feel that the mage level of this guy in front of him was a little higher than his own, almost thirty-four or so, and if he fought head-on, he would definitely be a very difficult enemy. But now it's different, once the sun gem hidden in the golden skeleton is detonated, it will definitely damage the soul of this undead creature.
Congus opened his mouth disdainfully and let out a shrill laugh: "Hahahahaha! It's naΓ―ve, you think you can hurt me with all this garbage! The Great Half-Lich? β
"You're so arrogant, haven't you been sealed away for so long and haven't learned your lesson? Forget it, it looks like I'm going to teach you another unforgettable lesson. Henry said with a regretful look on his face, and at the same time raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
With a "pop" sound, the half-lich was shocked to find that his body suddenly began to emit a dazzling light, and it only took a second to dispel the negative energy that had been surrounding him. It shouted in panic: "You...... What did you do to my body?!!!! Damn it! This is positive energy! How can I have so many sun gems in my body! β
Henry sneered and said, "What did you do?" It took me a long time to get these little things in. Dear Congus, enjoy the baptism of the Storm of Energy. β
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang spread throughout the entire underground hall, and powerful positive energy was released from the Sun Gem, and the light and heat generated in an instant formed a storm, just like a small sun. As for the golden skeleton, it had long been blown into debris and splashed everywhere, and there were bits of gold everywhere on the walls and floor tiles.
Kogan muttered as he covered his face with an axe, "Damn! It's all a waste of gold, it's a shame. β
"Don't talk, concentrate. Half-lich doesn't die that easily, and as soon as the energy reaction is over, we rush forward and attack. Viconia reminded with her shield held aloft.
In fact, as she said, as soon as the Positive Energy Storm ended, scarlet evil fell from the sky and poured into the last remaining skull. I saw it slowly float up from the ground, and let out an eerie laugh: "Hehehehehehe...... Hahaha...... I...... I'm finally free! The seal has been completely broken, and this power has finally returned! You will be sacrificed to my true resurrection, come, offer the sacrifice of death. β
Suddenly, everyone felt that their spirits were in a trance, and their souls felt as if they were about to detach from their bodies. However, the "anti-death enchantment" that had been blessed in advance played a role, and the soul was stuffed back into the body. Heng shook his head with force and regained his consciousness to find that the teeth made of eight gems of the half-lich were emitting a ghostly light, and there was no doubt that the enemy was trying to capture the soul.
He didn't dare to slack off, and directly activated the "spell trap" of the Archmage's staff once a day, and then rushed over to pick up the weapon and hit it. Congus didn't notice, and was smashed out and hit the wall, and the capture of the soul was interrupted.
Kogan had come to his senses and immediately shouted angrily, "Treacherous evil law! Go to hell! β
Before the half-lich could get up from the ground, he directly turned on the berserk state, jumped up and slashed the axe fiercely. "Bang", there was a muffled sound the moment the axe and the skull touched, and the dwarf was so shocked that the weapon almost took off, and the hard skull only had a small crack.
Although he had been mentally prepared for the damage reduction of Kangus, the scene in front of him still made everyone take a breath of cold air. You must know that the "Frost Marauder" was originally a third-level enchanted weapon, and it can already be regarded as a fifth-level enchantment when you count the special paint and the restraint of the undead. Another name for the fifth-level enchanted magic item is the legendary item, which is a secondary artifact at the upper level, and a genuine artifact beyond the seventh level, and mortals can even use these powerful weapons to kill gods.
Even legendary weapons can only do such a small amount of damage, which shows how hard the half-lich's skull is, even if a real artifact comes, it can only cut a small hole. This kind of hardness has surpassed that of pure gold, and is only a little worse than a very small number of special alloys, and it seems that it will take at least a dozen times to crack it.
