Chapter 400: The Half-Lich and the Idea of a New Spell
Half-Lich is intelligent, ancient, and more deadly than normal Lich. They often appear in the form of a skeleton with separate eye sockets and teeth encrusted with expensive gemstones, and some may also appear in the form of other bones encased in gemstones, such as a skull's hand or backbone. These gems shimmered with the faint light released by the souls that had been captured and slowly devoured.
It can be said that this is an evolution, and only a particularly powerful lich can research a way to make soul gems and completely transform himself into a half-lich. They possess extremely powerful souls and are able to freely travel between planes in their soul form, while bones or bodies such as bones are left in dark and terrifying tombs.
These terrifying undead creatures are constantly searching for the secrets hidden in the multiverse, and are immersed in the study of legendary magic, the creation of evil artifacts, and the plundering of vast resources. A very small number of them will eventually be able to control one or two planes, and even more so, they will be able to seize divinity and become powerful demigods.
When it comes to combat, the Half-Lich has more and more power and protection than a normal Lich. Their hard bones are not only resistant to attacks from weapons below the legendary level, but they are also immune to almost all magic and magic spells from levels 1 to 9, with only the "Ma Yuo Micrometeor" and a handful of positive energy spells being able to deal even the slightest damage.
On top of that, each half-lich has eight soul gems, which can be used to capture the souls of creatures, and it is also the life box of a normal lich, as long as one of them is still intact, it can be reborn in one to ten days. Luckily, most of them like to make these gems in the shape of teeth or joints, and set them with their only remaining bodies.
As masters of soul casting, these guys can cast magic much faster than normal mages and warlocks, and they also have a terrifying ability, called Half-Lich Touch, any creature that is touched is equivalent to being cast a ninth-level magic "Confinement Technique", and is directly teleported to an unknown half-plane and imprisoned, unless someone casts another ninth-level magic "Freedom Technique", it is impossible to escape for a lifetime.
Henry's next target, Congus, is one such powerful half-lich. Even more difficult than most voters and demigods, obviously, even stronger. After all, even demigods are unlikely to be immune to level 1 to 9 magic. At most, it can reduce some damage, but the Half-Lich can.
Predictably, it will be a tough battle, with most of the attacks going to be done by Kogan and Fid, who are excellent in melee combat. Before that, he had to re-enchant the weapons of the two men, at least to reach the level of a "holy avenger" when dealing with the undead, otherwise he would only be able to tickle the enemy even if he hit the mission.
As for Henry himself, he plans to hurry up and work on a second legendary spell. Based on the "Collapse Singularity", create a similar positive energy magic. However, he does not intend to copy it as it is, because positive energy and negative energy are different. Due to certain characteristics, the maximum lethality can only be achieved when it is gathered to a certain extent.
This means that between being released, the energy must be compressed frantically until the tipping point is breached. In simple words. It's about making a miniature little sun and then detonating it. Without a doubt, this is a terrifying legendary spell, especially for the undead like vampires, lichs, mummies, and the like.
According to his estimates, the light, heat, and shock waves released at the moment of the explosion would sweep through all living beings within a radius of several kilometers, and its destructive power was no less than that of other legendary magic, if not surpassed. However, this level of magic is not easy to study. Especially the compression of positive energy.
It can be said that the power of this spell depends on the size of the compressed volume, the smaller the explosion, the more intense, if it can be turned into an origin, then its power will be similar to the effect of a hydrogen bomb, tens of kilometers will be leveled to the ground. Perhaps the only difference is that it's not a chain reaction. It's just pure energy, and it's only possible in the magical world.
Since Edwin was dead, Henry took everyone back to the Alatan Mansion. As soon as he entered, he saw an officer with a red feather in his helmet standing in the doorway, holding several pieces of rolled parchment in his hand. Looks like something urgent.
When a manservant saw his master returning, he immediately walked a few quick steps to the front and bowed. "Your Excellency, you're finally back. The captain of Serbo from the Council has been waiting here for most of the day, saying that he has something important to hand over to you personally. ”
"Oh? What is so important? Henry asked, curious. He has now taken over all the Ronore family's estate, and the Council of Six should owe nothing.
The manservant shook his head with a wry smile. "My lord, I'm just an ordinary servant, and I'm not qualified to ask about such a thing. You'd better hire a housekeeper as much as possible, otherwise you won't even have someone to make a decision if something happens. ”
"Wait a few days, my butler is already on his way to Ascatla, and he will be there in three days at most. Also, you go and inform the kitchen that the evening meal must be hearty, and prepare a few more rooms, where my friends are going to stay. With that, Henry waved his hand and signaled that the servant could go about his work.
In this matter, he didn't dare to find someone to make do with. You must know that the housekeeper is a very important position, not only holding the financial power of the entire house, but also responsible for the safety of valuables. Most of the nobles' stewards were hereditary or by their own relatives, as they were the only ones who could guarantee loyalty.
However, Henry obviously did not have a hereditary housekeeper, and as for his relatives, he had never heard of his mother, so he had to rely on others to introduce him. , has been serving the Angome family for nearly ten years now, and basically nothing has gone wrong.
However, it is not easy to find a well-known butler in Am, so we can only wait for Ernest of Deanisberg to arrive. After all, he was introduced by Naria, and he was relatively reliable, and his ability to handle affairs was quite good, which can be seen from the construction of the river embankment.
The officer named Serbo had apparently also noticed the conversation between Henry and the servant, and hurried a few steps up to give a military salute. "Are you Duke Henry?"
"Yes, I am. What is the matter with me? ”
"God of Guards, forbid, I've finally found you. These are the title deeds and house deeds that the Council has sent me, and the mansion in the temple district has been renovated and the servants are all ready, all of them dancing girls from Kalinsan. Now you can move in whenever you want. Serbo finished and presented the two pieces of parchment with both hands.
Henry suddenly took the title deed and title deed, and nodded with a smile. "Thank you, if you hadn't come today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered such a thing."
"No need to be thankful, as a hero, this is a reward you deserve. If there is nothing to do, I will take my leave, and the council is still waiting for a reply. With that, Serbo gave another military salute. From his movements and eyes, it can be seen that he is a somewhat rigid person, and he is meticulous in terms of etiquette.
"Since you're on a mission again, don't do much to keep it. Good bye. "Henry knew that there was no need to be polite with such people, because it was completely useless, in their eyes there was only mission, responsibility and sacrifice, and they were completely fanatical believers in the god of guards, Heim.
After seeing the officers leave, the group walked through the gate and walked on the garden path in the front yard. Fidel involuntarily whistled and exclaimed, "Wow! It's really luxurious, and it looks like I can finally enjoy it for a few days. ”
"If you like it, if you like. I'll need a day or two to study magic, so you'll treat it like you're home, and you're welcome to say whatever you need. As he spoke, Henry pointed to the house in front of him and said, "There are three floors here, the first floor is mostly the servants' quarters except for the dining room and the living room, the second floor is the guest room and bathroom, you can choose as your own room, and the top floor is the master bedroom, where I sleep." ”
Feder glanced at him curiously and asked, "Damn! You're really going to enjoy it! It costs a lot of money to build a house like this, right? ”
Henry smiled and shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I snatched it from another nobleman." I'm sure you've heard of the Ronorr family, who I killed just a few days ago. ”
"Aha! No wonder the officer just called you Duke Henry, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Tell me, how many treasures have you found in the lair of the Flying Flame in Baragath? "Kogan is a good old money fan, and when he asks about the dragon's treasures, he asks.
"About three million gold coins, plus a lot of gems and magic items. However, due to the research of a legendary magic some time ago, it has consumed nearly one-third. ”
Everyone was frightened by this number, especially the dwarven warrior's eyes were wide in surprise, and his mouth was wide open, and he didn't close it for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he shouted excitedly, "Damn it! It seems that if you want to make a fortune, you still have to slaughter a few large lizards. Tell me that there is a dragon's lair near Am. ”
Henry patted the dwarf on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't get excited, Kogan, there are still many opportunities for wealth in the future." I promise you'll definitely get dragon blood on your axe in the future, and there's more than one. Alright, now let's hurry to the house. ”
"Okay, you're the team leader, you have the final say. But you'd better hurry, or I'll get an itch in my heart at the thought of these great lizards' treasures. Kogan said, touching the sharp blade of his axe. His mind was now full of piles of gold and gems, and he wanted to find a few dragons to hack to death at once, and then ransack their lairs along the way.
