Chapter 406: Elemental Lich
Seeing such obvious features, Henry's whole person didn't feel very good. Ever since Bardy's death, he thought that the remaining vampires had scattered and fled for their lives, but judging by the skillful attacks he had just made, they were still tightly organized. The whole process must have been carefully observed and calculated, and it took less than five seconds from start to finish, which can be said to be extremely accurate.
There is no doubt that vampires have changed from their former arrogance to become restrained, secretive, and deadly. If it used to be a sword hanging over one's head, fearing that it would fall at any moment, now it is a dagger hiding in the shadows, silent, but even more deadly and dangerous.
Despite the unexpected situation and the bad mood, Henry did not forget the purpose of his trip. He quickly left the scene after laying the body flat. Anyway, the first target of vampires is still the shadow thief, so as long as the two of them are alive, they don't have to worry too much about it.
Heading south along the alleys of the Bridge District, it didn't take long for a special magical mark to appear on the door of a building. Henry had investigated information about Congus, one of which was that he was defeated and imprisoned by a group of mages who claimed to be Nisriel. Obviously, this mark belongs to this group of spellcasters, so this is one of the locations of the seal. He took a brief look at his surroundings, and suddenly there was the entrance to the city of the Talisman Society not far away, but it was now closed. It seems that these undead creatures have a similar way of thinking, and they are all looking for these dirty, old, and some remote and cold corners as a base.
I really don't know what the Masked Mage Guild does in their daily work, so many powerful lichs have been hiding under their noses for so many years, and they don't even notice it. Henry had just stretched out a hand to push the door open, but immediately retracted it. He suddenly remembered to follow the urine nature of these lichs. There will undoubtedly be a deadly magic trap placed on it, at least level 6 or higher. After a second-level magic "Detection Trap" was cast, the door instantly lit up with red magical aura.
"Damn! I hate traps! Henry cursed in a low voice. Start summoning your own pet right away. As a mage and druid, it might be okay to dismantle a trap that isn't complicated. But it's completely useless for this kind of high-level magic trap.
A few seconds later, Pico's sleepy-eyed Louis appeared in place, holding a pocket pillow in his arms and yawning several times with his mouth open. She shook her little head vigorously and stared at her master with a puzzled face, as if to ask again why she had called me to this strange place in the middle of the night. Henry smiled apologetically and pointed to the door, "Sorry to wake you up, but I need help right now." See the traps and locks above? Get them out of the way and you can go back to sleep. ”
Louis flew around his master's head twice, and the little creature pulled out his pocket-sized tool bag from his waist and began his work. Her movements were light and fast. In just a dozen seconds, the magic array hidden in the crack of the door to transmit energy was destroyed. Without the energy supply, the red magic aura disappeared in an instant. As for the lock on the gate, it was very simple, and it only took one moment to completely remove it.
"Well done, you can go back to sleep now, good night." Heng said with a finger tapping Picker's head. He could feel that Louis's body was undergoing some kind of metamorphosis, and his intelligence had also increased dramatically. It seems that the mage level that Fei has improved in the recent period has benefited this little guy a lot, and it won't be long before he can break through the limits of his own race.
It is important to know that the mage's (demon) pet will not only share the vitality with the owner, but also share the spell bit. They can help cast some magic if the owner's cast level is increased. Then the pet will also benefit from it. For the caster, this is the closest companion, soul and spirit companion. You can share secrets with them. Express your joys, sorrows, and sorrows. You never have to worry about betrayal, even if you want to be the enemy of the whole world, the (demon) pet will follow you without hesitation.
However, Henry has always been worried that Pik's vitality is too fragile and that she will easily die if she is involved in a wide range of damaging magic, so he never lets her participate in the battle. As for physical attacks, don't worry too much, after all, Louis is only the size of a palm, not only is he agile but also can fly, and it is quite difficult for arrows and blades to hit.
As you get more and more spell slots, you may be able to dedicate a few protective spells to your pet in the future. This way the little one can participate in the fierce magic confrontation. However, you still need to go through some training before that, otherwise it is easy to get scrambling in battle. You must know that Pikejing is notoriously timid and fearful. If you are afraid, you may go into hiding.
Watching Louis activate the teleportation belt and disappear in place, Henry put all the messy thoughts behind him for the time being. Begin to concentrate on blessing yourself with protective spells. A few minutes later, he pushed open the door and walked in, wearing a magical aura that blinded someone's eyes.
As soon as I walked into the house, a smell of decay came to my face. All kinds of furniture that could no longer be seen were placed in a mess, and most of them were rotten. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were so many cobwebs overhead that they were almost able to keep out the rain. There is no doubt that no one has been here for at least a few hundred years.
In such an environment, Henry had to be careful not even to catch his breath, otherwise it was likely to stir up a large cloud of dust. He spun around a few times, and soon a secret door appeared on the floor on the west side. After a little dusting of the surrounding area, a staircase leading to the ground was revealed.
"Damn! Why does it stink so much! These lichs are not hygienic at all. ”
After a whispered complaint, he pinched his nose and slowly moved down. There were no fingers in the whole passage, not even the slightest bit of light. Luckily, the staircase wasn't too long, and after a few minutes it suddenly opened up. It is a grand underground hall, eight to ten meters high, and every few meters around it is surrounded by a magical light cluster or a torch blessed with "Immortal Flame".
Three huge and eerie statues clinging to the west wall, dressed in robes, with strange masks on their faces, and two hands clenching a huge candle, a faint blue light flickering at the top of the candle, giving it a particularly eerie feeling.
Henry noticed that the layout of the entire basement was in the shape of a swirl, and in the center, that is, at the highest point, there was a heavy sarcophagus. It was held high by several pillars, connected only by a narrow stone path, and it appeared that the elemental lich guarding the seal lay inside. It has to be said that it is built here to be very conducive to spellcaster combat. All kinds of stairs that go up and down, narrow stone paths, and a fourth-level magic "Any Door" can easily get rid of the entanglement of melee classes.
Walking quickly down the stairs on the left to the front of the sarcophagus, Henry immediately felt a wave of negative energy rushing towards him. He sneered, lifted his foot and kicked the lid of the coffin. An irresistible smell of corpses began to permeate the underground halls, and there was nothing inside the coffin except a dry torso.
Suddenly, powerful negative energy began to gather rapidly, and a second later, an undead creature with a terrified aura all over its body appeared in its place. Its body looked like a black mass of negative energy, with no entity at all, only two cold lights flickering at the place of its eyes.
At this moment, Henry finally knew the meaning of the elemental lich. It seems that they have used some special method to completely abandon their bodies and become a pure energy body. There are pros and cons to this situation, with the upside being that normal enchanted weapons can't do any damage at all, and the downside being that positive impact spells like "Sunburst Burst" will deal double the damage.
The Elemental Lich was cautious and didn't attack as soon as it came up. Because it felt a huge threat from the young human in front of him, which meant that the other party must be a legendary spellcaster, and the spell level must be higher than its own. You must know that energy body creatures are very sensitive in this regard, and a simple comparison of the amount of magic power can make a judgment.
The man and the lich looked at each other like this, and after a few minutes Henry waited impatiently and asked, "Why don't you do it yet?" Is it possible that standing like this for hundreds of years will consume me alive? ”
"I don't understand. How could a spellcaster as powerful as you help Kangus, who is an incomparably selfish and cruel guy who makes promises that are simply impossible to keep. The Elemental Lich's voice sounded hollow, without a hint of emotion. It clearly did not want to fight, trying to negotiate a solution.
Seeing the other party's cautious appearance, Henry couldn't help but sneer. Now that he has finally realized the benefits of having great strength, no enemy dares to start a battle lightly. Because there are so many unpredictable dangers in it, one careless person may lose his life.
He stared at the elemental lich and shook his head with a playful smile. "Help? No, no, no, I think you're mistaken. I just want a half-lich as a servant, and there is only one half-lich near Ascatila. ”
"You're just crazy! Kangus once destroyed one of our qiē! It's a demon! It is simply impossible to be a servant of anyone! The negative energy in his whole body was boiling as the elemental lich spoke, and although his voice was still so empty, he was obviously a lot more excited.
"Crazy? Maybe! I've already made my decision anyway, so let's have a real spell duel. For mages, this is the best way to resolve disputes, and the winner is king, and this tradition has continued since ancient times. With that, Henry raised an arm and made a gesture of please. He looked so polite, but there was a crazy glint in his silver pupils.
