Chapter 460: The Undead
Undead creatures are special living beings, and scholars often have heated debates among scholars because of the variety of forms, forms, powers, and abilities that exist in them. Where does this huge difference come from? Its essence lies in the immortality itself, in the dark vitality that flows in the decayed body of the deceased, born from the combination of distorted consciousness and rich negative energy.
The undead come in a variety of forms. We only have to look at the collection of fables of the necromancers to see the various forms that the undead have.
Including entities, corrupted zombies, entities, embalmed mummies, entities, vampires that absorb life matter to embalm, virtual and free state bound spirits, virtual body and possessed state ghosts, humanoid form of ghouls, ghouls, skeletons without self-awareness, powerful undead spellcaster lich, etc., there are many types of unimaginable.
Overall, the vast majority of the undead have one thing in common, all of them were once alive, even though there was very little left of those things, and even a little bit of the spirit and memory of the past. Although in some extreme or rare cases, there have been terrifying forms and wills made up of purely undead energy (negative energy), the vast majority of undead creatures were once breathing before receiving their terrifying titles.
It can be said that every undead creature has an extreme hatred for the living, even the Lich. It's just that most lichs can use guò magic and reason to restrain their behavior, and don't immediately pounce on a living person like ghouls and zombies, bite and devour each other's flesh.
Negative energy is at the heart of an undead being, a hunger that burns the soul. Every undead creature must be connected to the negative energy plane. It is a dead and empty place. An absolute vacuum without bounds. Shrouded in empty, suffocating darkness. To make matters worse, it is a barren and greedy plane, constantly squeezing life force out of any creature that is powerless to resist it. Heat, fire, and life were all sucked into the depths of its terrifying, insatiably demanding mouth.
Even the weakest of the undead can create a constant absorption effect in the material realm, which brings the undead's signature cold body. As a "process" to activate and produce undead creatures, they extract a stream of energy from the material world and channel it into the negative energy plane, thus creating an "energy vacuum" in the material world. The stolen energy is used to support their "life".
That's why most kindness is good. Even the gods of the neutral camp are adamant about the reason for the undead's presence on the main plane. They have been seizing the precious resources of this world since the moment they were born, and once the undead have passed a certain number, perhaps the Faeron 6 will begin to transform into the negative energy plane, thus turning into a land full of death.
Whether it is the good Paladins and priests, or the balanced and neutral druids and rangers, all of them regard the undead as mortal enemies and will do their best to destroy them if they appear. As soon as he entered the city of the dead, Henry suddenly became restless at the sight of his natural favor, as if urging himself to hurry up.
He could feel that the ecological balance of the area had been destroyed by the proliferation of undead creatures. Nature's wrath roars in the wind. If you don't wipe out all these undead creatures today, you won't lose your druid profession. But there is no doubt that you will lose the blessings that nature has blessed you, and perhaps your level will drop a lot.
In short, whether it's for more XP or the duties of being a Druid, this battle is not inevitable. Caton and Sélielev stood in place with solemn faces, clearly ready for a desperate battle. They face the same problem, and as paladins, win or die, there is absolutely no third way.
Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out from the high platform, and all the undead who followed it all stopped and looked up, as if waiting for something. Soon, a hout ghoul showed half of his head. It stared at the crowd standing at the entrance of the cave with its cloudy eyes, and after a few seconds it made a hoarse voice.
"Shhh Living! Why are you here?! Hiss! Food...... The taste of the food! I'm about to take it anymore! ”
Looking at a group of undead creatures with green eyes, Henry not only did not panic, but laughed, "Sorry, I'm not your food...... And we've just agreed to leave after you've wiped out the undead. ”
"Really...... That's just great! Hee-hee-hee!! Eat...... Eat! I love fresh meat! Let's get on...... Citizens...... The carnival is on! With that, the giant ghoul jumped straight down from the height. The corners of its mouth were sick to the stomach with yellow saliva, and a row of sharp teeth glowed with a metallic cyan sheen.
Obviously, this is a king of ghouls, with terrifying teeth and sharp claws, and if you scratch your skin, you will immediately become infected with a deadly virus, and it will also cause a series of negative states such as body paralysis and sluggishness.
Countless undead creatures surged in the direction of the entrance, densely packed like a tide. Yao En couldn't help but swallow his saliva and cursed, "Damn! There are so many of them. If you have any tricks, hurry up, or we're going to be appetizers. ”
"Don't worry, these guys don't pose any threat at all." After speaking, Henry raised the staff of the ** master and used up all the stored energy points in one go. In an instant, several portals to the fire elemental plane were opened, and one by one, the fire elemental elders with intense heat all over their bodies walked out of it.
Without any hesitation, he immediately gave the order to attack: "Up!" Kill all the enemies in sight! ”
Without any hesitation, the Fire Elemental Elders rushed forward. They attack with a very single means of attack, except that incineration is incineration. However, the flames are the biggest nemesis of the undead besides positive energy, especially the mummies with bandages on their bodies, as soon as they are picked up, they will immediately turn into a burning man, and in a few minutes there will be an extra charred corpse on the ground.
Several Fire Elemental Elders had wreaked tremendous havoc in just a few minutes. At least two hundred undead creatures were burned alive. More than 300 were injured in various ways. But that's just the appetizer. Henry used this time to prepare a powerful ninth-level magic "Heavenly Requiem".
I saw him chanting complex incantations, raising his hands high and opening a portal to the upper plane. Countless celestial residents, angels, and acolytes gathered positive energy and poured out in the form of magical shockwaves, which instantly swept away a large area of undead creatures. They were simply unable to resist the great force, and most of them were purified into a pinch of dust directly accompanied by screams.
This ninth-level magic is very similar to Henry Ming's legendary spell "Sunrise", except that the latter has been collided and compressed by photons, and has terrifying kinetic energy. Once exploded, it can destroy a qiē within the blast radius. But the former is just a simple shockwave and doesn't even do any damage to the creatures of the good faction.
The Celestial Requiem not only caused great damage to the undead creatures, but also inspired the two paladins. The armor on their bodies has formed a layer of positive protection, and ordinary zombies will be burned even if they touch it.
"Awesome! I felt like I was twenty years younger, and I was full of strength all over me. Kaidon shouted at Henry as he brandished the Holy Avenger with a golden glow. He now had a faint silver glow in his gestures, and he seemed to be filled with a sense of sacredness.
Seilelev is in a similar state, just like being beaten with chicken blood, a brave mess. With the strength of one person, she had beaten the hordes of undead who had retreated one after another, and they didn't even sweat a bit.
Henry really didn't expect it. The paladin with abundant positive energy can actually make an effect. He had only known that undead creatures with negative spells could not only kill and injure enemies, but also repair the damage these guys had received in battle. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
As Uncle Caton and Sally Leph grew stronger, the number of undead soon plummeted to less than one-third, and the ghoul king had long since died under siege by the Fire Elemental Elders. After all, these undead don't have powerful enemies like lichs or vampires, so it's not surprising that they have been crushed by sheer strength.
When the last enemy was cut down, everyone sat down on the ground and began to gasp for air. Despite the help of the summoned creatures, they still felt tired enough. Unless you're a Legendary Melee Professional, anyone who swings a weapon thousands of times in a row will feel exhausted, not to mention the heavy armor that some are wearing.
Aemond wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, laughed and said, "Haha! I can't believe that so many of the undead have been killed by a few of us. ”
"It's a great battle, Tyre has affirmed our merits and given new powers, and I'm now a rank 12 paladin." Sally Leph had an ecstatic look on her face. There was nothing more joyful for her than to be affirmed by the God of Justice.
Kaidong wiped the blood stains on the holy sword as he echoed with a smile: "Yes, I have just received the blessing of Tom, and the holy warrior level has also been increased by two levels. ”
Sheena shook her head slightly and sighed, "I really envy you priests and holy warriors, as long as you get the approval of the gods, you can increase your strength." ”
"Can't say that. Priests and paladins have a lot of responsibility, and they simply can't go against the teachings of the gods, otherwise these powers will be taken back. With that, Henry patted the dragon lady on the shoulder comfortingly.
In fact, he still didn't say something, that is, priests and holy warriors can continue to retain divine skills and special abilities even if they are separated from the gods, but this is very demanding for the individual, otherwise he will not be able to perceive the existence of the power of the root at all, and naturally he will not be able to get any response.
