Chapter 217: Fighting the Lich
The lich picks up an egg from the sink and carefully tosses it into the cup. He muttered under his breath as he added various unknown liquids to it. "Hopefully this time it will be successful. The last failure was because the toad's egg membrane was too fragile to withstand the intense expansion and contraction of the embryo. This time, the eggs of the turtle were used, and the hardness and elasticity were much better than last time. If there is a problem again, I am afraid that it will have to be reversed. ”
Henry gave up on his immediate intentions, and he also wanted to see the concrete results of this experiment. The Lich will heat the cup on the fire, and after a minute, the strange liquid inside will begin to bubble black. The egg floated up and began to shake, the shell on its surface cracking apart, and a palm-sized humanoid with gray scales crawled out of it.
The lich hurriedly picked it up and put it in the palm of his hand to examine it carefully. The little creature squirmed a few times, and then was pinched to death by the dry palm. The lich frantically radiated negative energy in all directions, shouting angrily, "What for! Failed again for something! I've used the perfect embryo, but the dragonmen that have been bred still have no gender. ”
Seeing that the experiment had failed, Henry secretly put the notes on the table away, and then immediately began to prepare the spell. In order to prevent the lich from casting spells quickly, he directly used the seventh-level magic "Strong Veto". This powerful spell quickly twisted the web around the lich, and if he wanted to cast a spell, it would take longer than ever to adjust to these chaotic fluctuations.
When Dina Hei saw the signal to do it, she immediately released an "acceleration technique". Apodell and Minsk rushed forward with magic weapons, but they were all blocked by the "Stone Skin Technique" triggered by the "Accident Technique". The lich found that it was too late to chant the spell, and directly used the eighth-level magic "Spell Activation".
"Protective Magic Weapon" (Forms a magical stance.) Fully immune to damage from magic weapons for fifteen seconds. ), "Protects against magic energy damage" (fully protects against magic damage. Duration: Increases by one minute per cast level) and "Spell Shield" (negates the attack of a demon-breaking spell. The three protective spells were instantly blessed on the body.
The lich now shimmers with a variety of stances and spells. Under this all-round protection, all attacks lose their effect. Knowing full well that he had to break the "Spell Shield" first, Henry quickly pulled out a magic scroll of the "Ruby Reversal Ray" (disarming any level of protection spell on the target) and activated the spell on it.
A dark red light shot out from his fingertips, slamming into the silver energy shield, and the "spell shield" disappeared in an instant. Henry chanted the incantation quickly. He knew that he had to rip off the "protective magic weapon" before the lich's spell was ready, otherwise the two warriors' weapons wouldn't hurt it at all.
Colon and Ammon pulled out their melee weapons and dragged the dragonmen who tried to come up to help. The two of them knew that their bows and arrows would be completely useless in this battle. I had to stop this monster. Allow others to concentrate on dealing with powerful lichs.
Henry completed the spell "Kelburn's Whip of Guardianship" one step ahead of the Lich. He shot a transparent ball of light at the enemy, and the "protective magic weapon" was disintegrated in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the protective spell was gone, Apodell picked up the flail and smashed it down at the lich's arm. Just listen to the "click", and the bones hidden in the sleeve are broken.
The lich finished the spell with his other hand, his deep dry finger hooking Henry. A green shield blocked the invasion of magical energy, and the seventh-level magic "Death Finger" was offset by the anti-death enchantment that had been blessed in advance. The Lich sees that the spell is invalid and activates the Spell Sequence and Spell Matrix at the same time.
A large amount of protective magic was instantly blessed back. Apodell and Minsk were forced back several steps by the flames surrounding the lich, and the fourth-level magic "flame shield" left the two warriors a little overwhelmed. Immediately after that, the lich used the "Mirror Shadow Technique" to become many at once, and then the "Advanced Invisibility Technique" made it disappear completely.
Henry's mind was quickly looking for a countermeasure, and the high-level spellcaster was too difficult to deal with. Now the room was filled with the sound of lichs chanting incantations. Apparently this damn guy has also played a "hallucination" on himself to confuse the public. Apodell and Minsk wield their weapons in an attempt to find the enemy hiding around them. However, the experimental site is too large to find an emaciated lich in a short period of time.
Suddenly, a white magical aura shot out from the corner behind him. "Disarming the magic" instantly stripped everyone of the "death-proof enchantment". The lich hissed and shouted, "You adventurers who deserve death! How dare you sneak attack me, who is about to become the god of dragonmen! Savor the fear before death, and I will torture you for a day and a night, and then use it as material for the cultivation of new dragons. ”
Henry simply paid no attention to this nonsense. He increased his casting speed to the extreme, his hands flipped rapidly, and his mouth spat out syllables quickly. A blue eye gradually appeared in the air, and it scanned the entire cavern, followed by the Lich's "Advanced Invisibility" and "Mirror Shadow" all failed.
Seeing that the enemy had been forced out by the fifth-level divine technique "True Gaze", Henry immediately shouted at Apodell: "Leave those flames alone! Rush up and break the other arm. Now there is no protection of the "Anti-Death Enchantment", and if there are any more instant death spells, we will die! ”
Apodell rushed into the flames, and the heat instantly scorched his skin. Fighting through the pain, he picked up the flail and smashed it into the lich's other arm. The Lich had terminated the spell he was casting, and he was now left with only one arm left to cast any more spells if it was broken again.
The huge inertia of the magic chain flail hit the lower half of the body, and the leg bones were shattered in one fell swoop. The lich lost his balance and fell to the ground. Minsk roared, his eyes reddened, and he rushed furiously towards the enemy who fell to the ground. All of a sudden, the slag flew around, and most of the lich's body was chopped into small pieces.
Apodell quickly retreated, and Minsk, who had almost gone crazy just now, was accidentally injured. Henry chanted a spell loudly, and then a sixth-level divine spell "Abnormal Dawn" was cast. The intense positive energy instantly filled the entire cavern, and the lich's eyes were instantly blinded. It didn't take long for Minsk's fury to end. A mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth and he sat on the ground with a swaying ass.
Seeing that there was only one skeleton left on the ground, Henry immediately took out a box full of positive energy from the dimensional bag and fastened it on it. The box's energy isn't strong enough to kill the Lich, but it does prevent it from recovering its power. He wouldn't have killed this guy easily until he found the life box.
The lifebox is what the Lich preserves the essence of his life and soul. If you kill a Lich without destroying its lifebox, you've managed to provoke a terrifying enemy for yourself. The Lich will respawn next to the lifebox within a few days. It will spend tens or even hundreds of years observing and researching, and when this guy appears in front of you again, it will find that this guy knows you better than your mother.
Henry didn't plan to defend himself against an undead creature with a cast level of nineteen for the rest of his life. He treated Apodell and Minsk briefly, and immediately went around with Dinahi and Ammon looking for what might be a fatal box. Everyone scattered and rummaged through the inside and out, but they didn't see the life box, but they found a lot of scrolls and magic items. Just when a few people were at a loss, Colon pointed to the dragon man on the ground who was tied into rice dumplings.
"Shouldn't we torture this guy? He'd been following the lich and knew something. ”
The Elven Hunter's words alerted Henry, and they had searched the entire cave, leaving only this guy who hadn't searched carefully. Generally speaking, the lich will not hide the life box too far, otherwise if it is destroyed by some strange creature or person, the death will be too unjust. Thinking of this, he quickly walked up to the dragonman and cast a detection spell.
Suddenly, the tied captive began to struggle desperately. He tried to escape the detection of the spell, but was firmly pressed to the ground by the tall and strong Apodel. He punched the guy hard and then shouted a threat, "Ugly monster! Be honest with me! Chop off your hands and feet if you dare to move! ”
"Damn bandits! I'm going to kill you! Let me go! Let me go! The dragonman cursed loudly in the lingua franca, not taking Apodel's threat seriously.
Using his hands that shimmered with white magical aura, Hen began to probe his body inch by inch, and soon he felt a burst of negative energy near his chest. Dinahi pressed the dragonman's heart, and found that there was no heartbeat like a normal creature. She glanced at Minsk, and the ranger immediately pulled out a knife and gently slashed through the epidermis and muscles.
"Oh, oh my God! Can anyone tell me what the hell this is?! Ammon's eyes widened and he let out a sigh.
In the heart of the dragonman, there is a metal box surrounded by countless blood vessels. It vibrates up and down, pumping blood to the creature's body instead of the heart. The black blood that flowed out of the box smelled rancid, and the negative energy had begun to eat away at the entire body, and it wouldn't be long before the dragonman would be transformed into an undead.
Henry knew that this disgusting-looking little box was the Lich's lifebox. He had Apodell wring the dragonman's neck, then ripped open the veins to get the box out. This is the life and soul of a lich, which can not only be used to blackmail the lich into its own service, but most importantly, it can also be used to create a powerful golem creature called the "Roll Golem".
