Chapter 274: The Reckoned Lich
The dark passage wasn't too long, and it took Bourne only two minutes to run into a spacious underground hall. Bronze torches on the walls here, burning with eerie blue flames, place a dusty sarcophagus in the center of the hall. Suddenly, a suffocating stance erupted from within the sarcophagus, slowly floating on top of the lid.
If he hadn't been under the spell now, maybe he would have turned around and fled immediately. A few seconds later, a dried corpse in a torn robe crawled out of the coffin, two cold glints in its eyes. This is a powerful lich with a strong sense of negativity and fear all over his body.
The aura of death and evil pervades every corner of the underground hall, and even the "anomalous dawn" blessed by Byrne cannot dispel it. According to the lines set by Tim Henry, he raised his two-handed greatsword and made a knightly salute, and then said loudly: "Evil creatures hiding under the city!" Have a good taste of the fury from Heavenly Mountain! In the name of goodness, purify your soul. ”
The lich looked Byrne up and down, followed by a raspy laugh. "Hey, hey, hey! For a long time, I lay to rest in the halls of the ancient city. For a long time, I was in a state of tranquility. Now, you lackey who came to Heavenly Hill will be punished for disturbing my rest! ”
Byrne had finished his line and rushed forward. The lich unhurriedly moved his dry hands, and instantly activated the ninth-level magic "Accidental Chain" (three eighth-level or eighth-level magic spells were stored in advance and released in one go). "Protective Magic Weapon", "Spell Immunity" Protection, "Order: Blindness". And that's not all. It goes on to activate the seven-level "Spell Ordering". "Stone Skin Technique", "Flame Shield", and "Soul Armor Technique" are also blessed to the body.
In just two seconds, the Lich blessed himself with an all-round three-dimensional defense. Now even a legendary warrior standing here can't do even the slightest bit of damage. Byrne was not a paladin, just an ordinary person with a relatively good body, and he had no resistance to magic at all.
The moment "Order: Blindness" was released, his eyes could see nothing. However, under the influence of the violent charm, this strong man who was full of positive energy still put it into the flame shield without hesitation. The Lich apparently didn't expect his opponent to be so ferocious, and completely ignored the charred flesh on his body.
After Bourne passed through the hot flames, he directly dropped the weapon in his hand and pounced. The lich was knocked to the ground without noticing. It's lived so long, and it's never seen such a weird tactic. A strange smile suddenly appeared on Byrne's burnt-covered face. A loud bang followed, and his body exploded from within.
A large amount of holy water and positive energy instantly filled the hall, and although the protective spells on the lich's body were damaged by qi waves and flames, the body was still inevitably damaged. I saw a large amount of black mist coming from its feet. Trying to use negative energy to forcibly neutralize these pesky holy waters.
"Damn fanatics. I hate these god's lackeys the most! The lich cursed in a low voice as he banished the holy water.
"Nope. You're wrong. He's not a fanatic, just an ordinary villain who has been sent out to consume a protective spell. That's all. A voice came from the entrance of the passageway, followed by a girl from the year into the hall, they were none other than Henry and Shantil.
Realizing that there were strangers, the lich immediately turned around and was on guard. "Who are you? How did you find here? ”
Henry bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that you will be eliminated soon." Don't worry, I'll make a perfect golem out of your life box. ”
The lich saw through his opponent's strength at a glance, and then showed a look of disdain. "Oh? You actually want to make a Roll Box Golem. Unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong target. How can a guy like you who is still wandering outside the gate of legends defeat me! ”
"Haha! Old immortal thing! Soon you will pay for what you just said. Shantil sneered, and immediately began to chant the incantation.
Seeing that the sorceress began to move, Henry did not hesitate to activate a ruby reversal ray to directly destroy the "spell immunity" on the enemy. Then he released the eighth-level magic "Spell Activation", and saw three transparent bubbles enveloping the lich's body, instantly breaking all the protective magic. He calculated very well that the lich was immune to magic below level five. Therefore, he chose to use the sixth-level spell to "see through the magic" to crack the protection on the other party's body.
After discovering that his protective magic had been cracked, the lich pulled out a palm-sized black translucent sphere from his tattered robes, ignoring the hole cards. Henry noticed that something seemed to be spinning inside, as if it was about to suck everything in the world into it.
"Now it's time for you to see what real magic is! It doesn't have to go through the guò magic net, it comes directly from the most primitive magical energy. This is a legendary spell that I have been researching for hundreds of years, and has been named the Singularity. With that, the lich held the black ball high and began to channel the energy inside.
As soon as he heard the words legendary spells, Henry's head exploded with a "buzz". He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately activated the "time stop" solidified in his body. Entering a relatively static time, he immediately activated the "Accidental Chain" and released three eighth-level magic "Bigbay Giant Punches" in a row.
Although this was enough to interrupt the lich's concentration in casting spells, Henry cast another level 9 magic "Bigbay Smashing Palm" to be on the safe side. At that moment, when time returned to normal, four huge white energy palms appeared out of thin air, crushing the lich to the ground. I only heard a "click" and "click" sound of bones shattering, and after a few seconds, it was dismantled into a pile of broken bones, and even the black ball that was used as a casting material rolled to the side.
At the same time, Shantil finally completed all the spell casting, only to see the top floor of the basement suddenly be torn apart by the power of magic, followed by a violently burning meteorite. There was a loud "boom", and the entire city gate area was followed by a small earthquake. You don't have to think about it to know that the poor lich down there must be scum.
Looking at the circular pit more than twenty meters on the ground, Henry sighed and said to the sorceress, "You shouldn't cast this spell in the city. Fortunately, there are no strangers here, otherwise the casting license will definitely be revoked. ”
"I'll pay attention next time. But I seem to have heard this guy say that it is going to cast a legendary spell, which seems to be called the Singularity? Shantil asked curiously.
Henry walked over and picked up the black ball on the ground, and nodded with apprehension. "That's right. It's so dangerous, if he uses it, it is estimated that there will be no living people in the entire area. Look at what this sphere contains, a magically created black hole. ”
As a soul from the twenty-first century, Henry is all too aware of the horrors of black holes. No matter what the effect of this legendary spell is, once it is released, there is absolutely no second way for him to survive except to escape. Although he used the "cloning technique" to leave a useful body after mastering the ninth-level magic, it would take at least two to four months before he could use it.
"Now let's split up and find this lich's life box, and by the way, see if there is any information on this legendary spell." With that, Henry cast a detection spell and began to probe around for negative reactions.
Shantil went straight to the sarcophagus and found a magic sword inside, along with a yellowed book. She put the sword aside, carefully opened the pages that were about to rot, and saw that the first page of the book was written in an ancient language: A spell that belongs to me alone—Melson.
The sorceress flipped through a few pages and found that it was full of magic that she had never seen before, and she did not dare to slack off and immediately shouted, "Master! I seem to have found something amazing, and you'd better come and check it out. ”
Henry put down what he was doing, walked over briskly and asked, "What is it?" You can't have found the Lich's lifebox, right? ”
Without saying a word, Shantil handed over the book. "Look at these magics, I've never even heard anyone talk about them."
"Melson? This can't be the name of the dead lich. Henry muttered under his breath as he turned the first page. Soon, however, he became fascinated by the magic recorded in it. There are more than a dozen spells in the book, all of which begin with Melson. While most of them are no more than level five, the last page reads "Singularity".
This is the last legendary spell the Lich casts. Through the description above, Henry learns that this magic is to use a black hole to create a conduit that connects the main plane of matter, the magical network, and the negative energy realm. Use the purest negative energy to pour into the caster's world, killing living beings in large numbers. There are hardly any lifeforms that can resist this legendary magic. It only takes one cast to kill anyone within a one-kilometer radius of the linked singularity.
After reading everything in the book, Henry immediately dismissed the idea that Melson and the Lich were the same person. Judging by the style of the fight, it was clear that the Lich was one of the decent spellcasters, and the mage named Melson was one of the unconventional ones.
Take a look at these bizarre spells recorded above. Level 2 magic "Melson Cough" (creates a cloud of dust in the opponent's respiratory system and makes them cough incessantly, so as to interrupt the spell cast), Level 3 magic "Melson's urinary urgency" (instantly fills the opponent's bladder with water, and if you don't expel it immediately, the bladder will explode), and so on.
