Chapter 391: The Lord of Runes
With the appearance of the lich, everyone's nerves immediately tensed. Especially Henry, who had fought with the lich many times, could clearly feel that the one in front of him was different from the previous one. The negative energy on its body is extraordinarily rich, and it wears quite a lot of magical items. Undoubtedly, this is also a legendary spellcaster, and the mage level is no less than twenty-five.
The lich surveyed everyone with two cold lights in their eye sockets, and finally stopped at Henry's place. It spoke in a dark, hoarse voice, "Ah...... Look what I found, a legendary mage who is not yet thirty years old. What an incredible genius, may I ask what you mean......"
"It's a very simple either-or, surrender! Or ruined miรจ! When he said this, Henry kept a casual smile on his face, but it gave people the feeling that he was winning.
As if hearing something interesting, the lich couldn't help but let out a wild laugh: "Hahahahaha! A proud little one, it seems that you haven't experienced any setbacks yet. It doesn't matter, I'll teach you a lesson right away, don't worry, you won't be killed outright, because I've been craving a genius assistant. Finally, I will introduce myself, my name is Dark Shangora, and I will soon be your master. โ
"You think I didn't know anything and just broke into here? Dark Shangra, male Tieflin. He was the son of a Karinshan local viฤil (a state senator, high-ranking official, etc.), but he killed his own father. You ruled Karinsan with your childhood friend for many years until you were assassinated and transformed into a lich. His current identity is the most core member of the Talisman Society, one of the nine Talisman Masters. Am I right? One more thing. That cape sewn from black dragon skin is good. โ
Henry unscrupulously shook out all the enemies. In order not to leave a future problem. He did a lot of preparation in advance. Including detection spells, prophecy magic, and some previous memories, I finally got almost all the information. This wasn't pulling hatred for no reason, as he needed a little time to find the location of the portal so that it could be completely sealed before the fight began.
"I don't quite understand where you got the information, but there's no doubt that there is a traitor within the entangled rune, and it is likely that it is another master of the rune. Son, now say it by name. Then I might consider making you suffer a little less. โ
If the lich had an expression, Shangora's face would be ugly now. He had been transformed into a lich for centuries, and the things of the past had long since been buried by the years, and no one except a few older Talisman Lords would know about it. In his opinion, this must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy to eradicate himself and then seize more intelligence networks. Maybe the person who carried out the plan is watching this place closely, and will attack at the slightest flaw.
Henry smiled playfully and asked, "Oh? Why do you think so, can't I be a believer in the gods or an undead hunter? After all, you have offended a lot of gods, and there are two powerful gods alone. Medium Divine Power also has one. โ
He had confirmed that the device on the left side of the room was the portal, but it was a little difficult to close. Because there are other people who are using it. Every Master of Talisman has his or her own direct subordinates, and Shangra is certainly no exception. There is no doubt that these are all servants waiting to be summoned by their masters, and they will pass through the portal at the slightest command.
"Believers in the gods? Do you think I look like a fool? There are only two real enemies of the Talisman Society, one is Cranvo, who has just become the god of death, and the other is Ilmat, the god of suffering. Look at these people in your team, the evil dwarven warrior who has no faith, the demon elf assassin who also has no faith and position, or the red-robed mage who has no faith, haha, in the end, this dark elf has faith, but it is Shar, the goddess of the night, who believes in it. As for you, a mage and druid, it is impossible for you to believe in these two gods. โ
When Shangla spoke, she did not shy away from the names of the two gods, and said them generously, not looking afraid of being known by the other party at all. In fact, most people have a misconception about the gods and think that they can do almost anything. But on the contrary, the main material plane has a very great pressure on the gods, not inferior to the devil and demons at all, and every time the incarnation comes, it has to pay a lot of price, and if there is no serious plan, it will not appear lightly at all.
In fact, a god can hear countless secrets every day, even including insulting remarks. They simply don't have the time or energy to deal with them one by one, and most of the time they choose to skip them out. So if you don't like that god, please scold as much as you like, as long as there are no believers or voters around, it doesn't matter if you scold for three days and three nights. But you'd better pray that the god never notices in the future, or he or she will most likely return it to you with the interest.
Seeing that the other party had completely seen through himself and the others, Henry quietly gestured, and then nodded with a smile. "It's a great analysis, and the timing of the magic items is just right, so it's a powerful talisman master. But your men seem to have been waiting on the other side of the portal for a long time, so why not let them come out and introduce themselves. โ
"Aha! Quite perceptive, and I now look forward more and more to the moment when you transform into a lich. Well, since you strongly ask for ......," said Shangra, holding up her withered hand and pointing, several portals were opened in an instant. Lichs, vampires, necromantic warriors, Eye Demons, undead assassins, powerful and evil creatures appeared in place, they all bowed in unison, and then stood there silently waiting for orders.
With the exception of the fearless dwarven berserker Kogan, the others couldn't help but swallow. Although they had expected that the talisman would not be easy to deal with, the number and variety of talismans was outrageous. Knowing that this is Ascalla, the capital of Am, aren't these guys afraid of being discovered by masked mages?
"Look, I've summoned them all. Let me give you a brief introduction to a few of the more important members, this Eye Demon is called Varxor, who has been in charge of opening and closing portals. The lady next to it is Reyn, a powerful lich who is believed to be promoted to legend in a short time. The vampire's name was Siresha, and the last undead warrior was Revanak, and it took a lot of effort to convert the two of them in the first place. As for the other Assassins, they need no introduction, they are just some failed works, and they don't even have the ability to think for themselves. โ
Shangela had a faint pride on her face as she called them one by one. Any one of these men can take charge of the situation on their own, and if they are gathered, they can even destroy a city. This is why the Talisman, which has only thirty members, is able to control the entire Karinshan, so that all the ruling families dare not resist, because their high-end force is too powerful.
You must know that the master of runes like Shangra has a total of nine talismans. They were like a giant spider's web, secretly controlling more than half of Karinshan's family, and if any force dared to resist, they would be immediately besieged. Ilmat, the god of suffering, once gave a hint to the holy warriors who believed in themselves, but after so many years of checking, it was still the same.
Henry obviously had no intention of investigating further, and the goal this time was only to gain a large amount of experience points, as well as the secondary artifact that Rein was holding in his hand, the Archmage's Staff. I saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a weird smile, followed by a sudden lying down motion to the side.
"Hahahaha! I've been waiting for the signal to do it for a long time! Kogan laughed and kicked Edwin out, then fell to his stomach. Fidel and Viconia also learned the same thing, all keeping their heads down and clinging to the ground, as if they were trying to hide from something.
Henry whispered a spell, and the jewel box pinned to the belt by the red-robed mage began to glow, and after only a second, there was a loud bang, and a terrifying light, heat, and positive energy swept through the room. The vampire who was most afraid of the light didn't even have time to scream, and was burned to ashes in an instant.
The undead warriors and assassins were not doing much either, with a large amount of black smoke coming out of their bodies, and they all lay on the ground and couldn't even stand up. Although the two lichs triggered several protective spells, the damage they received was still severe. Shangora's left hand was blown off during the impact, and I'm afraid the cast speed was only half of the original. Reyn was even more miserable, not only was her eyes completely blinded by the cold light, but even the parts below the knees were gone.
It can be said that the only one who still maintains a full combat power is the giant eyed demon Vaxor. However, if you want to recover, you have to wait for a while, because the bright light just now has stimulated the main eye and the terrier eye, and I can't open my eyelids now. As for poor Edwin, all that was left was a black mass, and not even a complete corpse had been preserved.
Seeing that all the enemies had been severely damaged, Kogan laughed and said, "Hahahaha! It was perfect! Bone racks, obediently let me split in half! With that, he turned on his fury and strode towards Reyn, who couldn't move. The blind lich clearly couldn't see this, and both arms were cut off by a sharp magic battle axe.
The dwarf grabbed the Archmage's staff and shouted, "Here, here's what you want." Then! โ
"Thanks!" As he spoke, Henry grabbed the coveted treasure in his hand. However, he apparently didn't have much time to identify it now, and immediately ordered the Adamantite Golem to run in front of the teleporter, smashing it into a pile of tatters with two punches. Now the entire half-plane has been completely blocked, and people from the outside can't get in, and people from inside can't get out. Friend and foe are locked inside, and unless the Lich is killed, they never want to escape. (To be continued......)
