Chapter 378: The Southern Tomb
Passing through the stone gate, the originally dim cave suddenly lit up. Every 10 meters or so, there is a brazier blessed with an "inextinguishable flame" that stretches to the deepest part. On both sides of the spacious passage are rooms enclosed with heavy stone slabs, with huge statues guarding the perimeter, and murals painted on the walls and floors, which are still shining after all this time.
Henry carefully examined the male portraits that had been pieced together on the floor tiles. He was wearing a strange-looking dark blue hat with gold and precious stones, his eyes and cheeks painted light blue, and his hands crossed over his chest. Judging by the way you dress and how you move, there is no doubt that it is the style of the Shane Empire. It seems that there is a big man buried in this tomb group, not much worse, if not a member of the royal family.
If Dinah Hei were still alive, she would be excited to decipher the narrative drawings and words on the walls. But these teammates obviously don't have such patience now, especially the grumpy dwarves, who are already trying to pry the stone door with an axe. He had little interest in history and culture, and only funerary objects were his sole purpose.
Edwin walked down the passage as he held a piece of paper and compared it to the pattern on it, it was clear that he had done a lot of preparation before coming here, and that he was going to get the Nexriel Scroll. Although he was very careful in his movements, accidents inevitably happened.
Suddenly, there was a "click" in the silent hallway, followed by a stone slab sinking, and all the stone doors began to shake, and it was not long before they began to descend slowly. Kogan lifted his helmet. Carrying an axe and shouting, "Well done!" I'm thinking about whether or not to smash all these doors open. Then ......"
I haven't waited for the end of the sentence. A mummy, covered in bandages and looking a little dry, pounced on him. He was caught off guard and threw himself to the ground, struggling and cursing, "Damn! Come and help me get rid of this ugly undead. ”
Viconia walked over quickly and picked up the flail and smashed it into the mummy's head, knocking it out in an instant. She condescended to the dwarf and said, "If only you wouldn't be too close to the door next time, you must know that there are usually many undead in ancient tombs like yours." This time I'm lucky, if I encounter a vampire, I'm afraid I'll be bitten. ”
"I want to ...... The vampires you're talking about have already appeared, and there are quite a few skeleton warriors, zombies, and ghouls. As he spoke, Henry pointed into the hallway. A large number of undead creatures slowly walked out of the stone gate, and there were at least fifty of them. But the best thing to deal with is vampires. There is no such difficult opponent as the Lich.
"Uh...... I seem to have accidentally touched a mechanism, and these undead creatures look like guards of the grave. Edwin explained evasively, seemingly not intending to admit his mistake at all.
However, there was no time for everyone to find out who was responsible, because all the undead were rushing towards this direction. They are quite sensitive to the breath of the living, and even the few vampires at the end of the passage are not left behind. Henry sighed slightly, and said to the only priest in the team, "I hope you have prepared enough positive energy magic techniques, otherwise it will be very troublesome to have such a large number." ”
Viconia smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I can overtake and control those low-level undead, but high-level creatures like vampires and mummies can't do it." With that, she knelt on one knee and began to pray loudly, and an invisible force field gradually spread out in all directions.
The short skeletons and slow-moving zombies seemed to be controlled by some powerful force. Turn around and start attacking your own kind. This is exactly the skill unique to the priest, "Transcendent Undead". The priest of the good camp is overdoing it by dispelling negative energy. Forcing souls to return to sleep in the realm of the dead, while evil priests forcibly control the minds of the undead, commanding them to serve themselves.
It is said that the excesses of high-ranking priests can even have some effect on powerful undead creatures such as vampires and lichs. But Viconia is still far behind, her priest level is only thirteen, and at best she can control the lowest-level zombies and skeletons, and even the mummies and corpses have no reaction.
Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Henry kept performing the "sunburn technique", naming several vampires and tall skeleton warriors one by one. As a legendary druid, even a first-level divine spell can cause great damage, not to mention a positive energy that specifically targets the undead. Blazing rays of light fell from the sky, beating them to pieces in half a minute, and the vampire was even more miserable, letting out a piercing scream and turning into a pile of dust.
Kogan was at the front with a big grin, and the two axes flew up and down, so that no enemy could rush past him. The Dwarven Berserker used his height of less than 1.4 meters to build a strong line of defense for the spellcasters behind him. Countless corpses had already lay beside him, most of them short out of thin air, as all the parts below the knee had been cut off.
Edwin unleashed two third-level magic "Undead Immobilization" in succession, fixing a large number of enemies in place, and Fidel also flashed out of the shadows at this time, backstabbing the short sword specifically at the joint. After all, the undead are not harmful, and before the negative energy is exhausted, even if there is only one head left, they will rush up and bite it.
Henry closed his eyes and chanted a mantra as he began to self-hypnotize, instilling in his brain, "I can do it!" I can do it! My fireball spell will kill all the undead in front of me! Suddenly, he felt the rune on his forehead produce a trace of special energy, which was infused into the spell that was about to be completed.
The whole magic seems to be in a state of full automatic, and in the end, there is no need for spell chanting and spell casting. I saw a fist-sized sky-blue fireball appear in mid-air out of thin air, constantly emitting a violent heat to the surroundings. Without hesitation, Henry shouted at the two teammates in front of him who were still slashing and slashing, "Kogan! Fidel! Run back! It's too late! ”
The dwarven warrior subconsciously glanced up, left the corpse demon that had not yet been hacked to death, turned around and ran. He cursed loudly as he ran: "Damn! Damn it! That's why I hate magic, they always have accidents. ”
"Shut up and run, that horrible ball is about to fall ......"
Before Fidel could finish his words, he heard an earth-shattering loud bang behind him, followed by a strong shock wave that blew everyone away. The light and heat generated by the explosion illuminated the interior of the cavern as if it were daylight, and all the undead disappeared without even a single residue.
After a minute, Henry got up from the ground with difficulty, shook the dirt from his body and hair, and grew up unable to utter a word. The entire burial chamber has been turned beyond recognition, many walls have collapsed, and the two huge guardian stone statues have also been broken in two. The most terrifying thing is that the center of the explosion actually produced a crater with a diameter of five meters and a depth of more than ten meters. This is still a third-level magic "fireball technique", and it is almost about to catch up with a small tactical nuclear bomb.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the negative personality's "indescribable terrifying energy" and "it is just a qiē". You must know that this is just a trace of injection, if you can mobilize all the energy, and then firmly believe in your heart that you can destroy the world, maybe in an instant the entire main material plane will be blown to pieces.
Unfortunately, in its current state, it can only be used up to five times a day, and spells cannot exceed level five. Of course, five chances can also be converted into one chance to cast a level 9 magic, but until you can control the power, forget it. God knows what the consequences would be, and maybe a city would be wiped off the map.
"Shar again! What have you done! Do you want to kill us all? Viconia asked in a trembling voice as soon as she opened her eyes. She couldn't believe what she saw, a fist-sized blue fireball with terrifying destructive power.
The third to wake up was Edwin, the red-robed mage with his mouth tightly closed. However, his eyes revealed shock, fear, fear, and even adoration, because only the top spellcasters could create their own magic, and most other mages couldn't even learn magic above level 5.
This is also the reason why Edwin just found two magic scrolls and immediately took them for himself. Without Serge, he had lost access to high-level scrolls, which is why he was so impatient. After all, the strength of mages is based on the ability to master countless magic, and if the spell book is empty, I am afraid that even I will not feel uneasy.
Henry smiled awkwardly and explained, "It was a small accident...... It's also my first time casting, so ...... I didn't know it would be so powerful. ”
"Oh my God! You actually managed to make a small accident? You know, it nearly killed us both. As he spoke, Kogan pushed away the slate that was pressing on him, and helped Fidel. Several bruises appeared on his face, which looked like he had been stoned.
"That's right! I almost went to see the Grim Reaper. Head, please shout the next time you cast a dangerous spell, and I promise you'll stay away. Feder chimed in as he rubbed his aching buttocks.
Seeing that everyone was denouncing him, Henry just shook his head helplessly and made a promise. "Well, I swear I'll tell everyone the next time I cast a powerful spell. Don't worry, a situation like this will never happen again. Of course, you can't take care of that much when you need to work hard. ”
He had secretly made up his mind that he must find a place where no one was there when he practiced in the future. In this way, even if you get out of control, you can immediately use teleportation magic to escape, so as not to implicate innocent people.
