"What a cruel, terrifying, suffocating but blood-boiling battlefield!"
Within a few seconds, Zheng Zha had already quickly run around the entire castle, and while solving nearly ten powerful monsters that had attacked the city defense, he had already seen the overall battle situation at a glance.
Beneath the boulder where the Rock Collar Castle stood, every inch of land within Zheng's line of sight was littered with broken limbs, bones, and sparse flesh. Hoarse screams, painful "shenyin" sounds, desolate wails, and violent and crazy howls mingled and echoed between the low-pressure clouds and the earth.
A large area of viscous, heavy, and filthy red-black mist filled the land like a quagmire that had been silted for tens of thousands of years, and there was an indescribable smell - like a large amount of dirty blood from the creatures that had begun to decay after a long time of death was sprinkled on the active volcanic crater and burned to smoke, bloody, rotten, scorched, choking, and mixed with the stench of sulfur! This is a strong and substantial evil breath, coupled with the body odor and breath that emanates from countless living monsters, and the smoky smell of a large number of dead monster corpses!
However, this smell basically did not waft into the castle, in addition to the magic wall, but also because a lit "Burning Spirit Incense" was placed in the castle almost every twenty or thirty meters, and the rich medicinal fragrance removed the stench, and it was more invigorating and energetic. In the area where the mages are concentrated, the potion is especially densely placed, as if a group of addicts are spitting smoke in the bathhouse.
No humans fought beneath the boulders, not a single one. In addition to the formation of the Paladin as the backbone. The plural Divine Aura and the Great Legion protected by the power of the Holy Light, the human army that does not have the numerical advantage will basically not end well in fighting the Hell Legion in this environment.
Now it's constantly killing monsters on a large scale. It is a variety of powerful ranged attack magic. The tornado mixed with sharp ice picks grinded back and forth like a giant meat grinder, and the incandescent lightning burst down from the dark clouds like a thunderstorm, like a flash of white scythe, and then jumped like a life into the bodies of several nearby monsters, frantically harvesting their lives, and the blazing flames and powerful explosions flying in the sky burned a creature mercilessly.
Most monsters have immunity to certain elements, and some elite monsters even have strong talents of two or three elemental immunity. However, in the face of various types of elemental magic sweeping back and forth, hundreds of monsters died almost every second.
However, the number of monsters was decreasing far from so quickly, except for the many Death Fallen Demons who were resurrected by the Sinking Mages. Every second, nearly a hundred summoning magic arrays lit up among the corpses and pools of blood, covering them with a strong evil aura. The stronger Hell Monsters descended to the world through the Death Monster's sacrifice of life and souls, through a magic array. Not only that, but many monsters are also scrambling to devour the bodies of their injured, weakened, or dead companions to make themselves stronger.
The terrifying thing about hordes of monsters is that even dead monsters can be used to summon new ones. The entire demon legion was like the body of a fourth-order powerhouse. After any cell dies, it can be turned into nutrients to support the division of new cells, damage at any time, and regenerate at any time until the opponent is completely grinded to death. Of course, to deal with this situation, the major professions also have their own methods, whether it is the "Aura of Redemption" of the Paladin. The necromancer's "corpse blast" and "corpse resurrection", the druid's summoning of corpse vines, and the master-level barbarian's "crushing strike" with a certain probability of completely shattering the monster's body and soul can all make the dead monster no longer "recycled" by the opponent.
However, the elemental mage is obviously a class that is not good at interrupting the opponent's "recycling", although large-scale lethal magic can kill the enemy like mowing grass, but then have to face the embarrassment of "spring breeze blowing and rebirth", trapped in a repeated cycle that cannot be stopped. Of course. As long as not too many humans are killed to supplement it, the Hellish aura will gradually diminish during the monster's repeated "death-summoning" process. Some of it will be converted into energy that will level up the profession that killed them, and some of it will be digested and absorbed by nature until it is completely depleted. Many of the high-level monsters that have been summoned are actually just projections, not real entities that have come to the world, and they have a limited time to exist, and they will completely disappear after being killed, and they cannot provide more evil qi to support a new round of summoning.
However, it is different from Zheng Zhe, who didn't know the truth at the beginning, who swung his knife and swiped thousands of sinking demons, but was almost hit on the head by a meteor. At the very least, elemental mages don't leave the Hell Legion a chance to use the sacrifice of a large number of monsters' lives to produce city-destroying magic such as "Meteor Fall". First, in the case of the frequent use of elemental magic and the disordered flow of elements, the magic movement of the "Meteor Fall" level is becoming more and more difficult, not only the preparation time is prolonged, but also more likely to fail and counterattack;
And the Hell Legion also seems to have acquiesced to the overwhelming superiority of humans in elemental magic, and did not try to just honestly continue to summon all kinds of agile or small monsters with flying abilities, plus various curse spells, causing more trouble for the city defense. As for giant monsters such as siege assault beasts, they are almost never summoned, because although the destructive power of such monsters is huge, there is almost no possibility of approaching the city defense in the case of dense and indiscriminate bombardment of various elemental magics.
While Zheng Zha was observing the battle situation, the brilliance of the teleportation array in the city flashed, and the Amazon Queen Infinity and the four paladin masters Tongguò teleported to the battlefield twice in succession.
As soon as two of the Paladin Masters arrived, they immediately stood at the place where the elemental mages gathered, and respectively unfurled the "Meditation Aura Aura", which can speed up the recovery of mana several times, and the "Purifying Aura Aura", which can reduce the effects and duration of toxins and curses.
The other two paladins unfurled the "Focus Aura" and "Holy Frozen Aura" respectively to support the soldiers defending the city. Where the shape shì is tight, immediately rush to which place. It greatly alleviates the pressure on the city's defense.
Infinity glanced up at the smiling Banshees of the River Styx, who were soaring high in the sky surrounded by countless flying monsters, and her eyes were like hunters looking at flocks of fat geese in the sky, and then took her bow in her hand, waiting for arrows.
"Don't rush yet!" Retsas stopped her, "Your main opponent is the Blood Bird, make sure you stop her from sniping us!"
In fact, the Rock Collar is not completely devoid of paladins. However, soon after the start of the war, those paladins who stood out with their halos and needed to fight on the front line were sniped one by one by the precise but sharp arrows of the blood birds, and now Retsas is trying to prevent this from happening.
"I heard that this former captain of the Rog archer named 'Blood Bird' was already at the peak of his mastery before his fall. Infinity sneered, "I promise, as long as she sneaks up once, there will never be a second chance to sneak attack!"
"If you exclude the other party's hidden strength. The key to victory in this battle is to destroy the opponent's caster power. For example, the Banshee of the River Styx in the sky...... "Retsas's eyes first looked at the sky, and then fell to the flat ground, "and the ghost woman on the ground, and all the monsters' weapon suppliers!"
In fact, as the closest servant to Andariel. The Styx Banshee's elemental attack power is not even comparable to that of ordinary Fallen Mages, and her hand-to-hand combat ability is very average. However, they have unparalleled flight, agility, invisibility, illusion, and the ability to channel the magic of the light orb and lead the opponent's offensive magic, plus they are especially cunning and alert, and they are good at charming. This makes them extremely difficult to kill. And their curse abilities are also full of tricks, not weaker than necromancers who specialize in curses. And the most distinctive kind of curse is "Bloody Mana"!
The effect of this curse is extremely hidden, in fact, ordinary people will not be harmed at all even if they are hit. However, mages who fall under this curse will unconsciously use burning blood instead of mana to cast spells, and the more mana required to cast magic, the more blood will be burned, and even bone marrow will be burned in strict cases. This is often disastrous for mages who are generally weak because they have been controlling the power that does not belong to them for a long time, and an elderly mage with high mana can often cast more than a dozen "chain lightning" in a row without changing his face, but if it is not mana consumed and changed to blood, then the price of casting a "chain lightning" is to faint without blood in an instant, or to drain a person at once, which is not counting the worse consequences of instant blood loss and vertigo and self-detonation of the elemental reaction.
Due to the existence of the Styx Banshee in the sky, the elemental mages have added a lot of concerns to fight, at least more than forty percent of their energy should be focused on preventing their sneak attacks, even if they are under heavy protection, there are still two percent of the elemental mages killed and injured under the curse of the Styx Banshee, and at the same time, there is no shortage of magic being pulled by the banshee and falling on their own heads.
Of course, these banshees are also suspicious of magic and bows and arrows, and most of the time hovering high in the air, only occasionally sneaking up on curses under the cover of illusions and other flying monsters, and then returning to the sky in a graceful manner before the magic bullets hit, leaving behind a series of unbridled laughter.
As for the demon woman who is behind the Hell legion and rides on monsters of different sizes, it is another type of threat. In contrast to the beautiful and seductive appearance of the Banshee of the River Styx, the Ghost Woman resembles an ugly and filthy old woman who makes people feel extremely disgusted at first sight. They were disheveled, pointy-billed, thin, rickety, and their shriveled bluish-purple skin was covered with disgusting warts, rotten sores, and pus. Their eyes bulged outwards and shimmered a hellish red, and their breath was like carrion.
The ghost woman is good at summoning magic and mind control, and even knows how to invade other people's dreams, and when she successfully rides on the back of a person, that person's consciousness will be tormented by painful and ridiculous dreams, and the body will be manipulated and enslaved. What's worse is that some elite ghost women even know how to temporarily change their bodies, incarnate as beauties to seduce male prey, and suddenly change back to their prototypes when they are at the peak of their **, using extreme contrasts to completely break the psychological defense line of the prey, when the prey is shaken. Devour their souls.
Most of the summoning magic arrays that emerge on the entire battlefield are their masterpieces. They shrieked and chanted filthy evil words, creating a lot of dark areas to hide themselves. While controlling lower-level monsters to attack in a desperate manner, they often bless them with various vicious spells, such as inflicting poisonous damage on their minions, making their bodies swell and twist to make them look more hideous and intimidating (although their combat effectiveness has not actually improved), or shrouding them in a cloudy miasma to confuse the public - one of their best spells is "scattering stench", and the smell of the body, breath, and blood of the monsters blessed with this spell is simply smelly to the point of making people smell bad. Many brave warriors were a little clean-minded because they were born into nobility, and as a result, they were stunned by the stench in battle and hated. In the face of the monster that has been blessed with the "stench", the ice mage is definitely the best person to deal with, if you change the fire mage, the smell of barbecue is simply a nightmare that makes people vomit all their internal organs!
The Ghost Woman and the Banshee of the River Styx belong to the same high-level spell-casting demon class. There is no difference in strength, and the reason why the Styx Banshee has a higher status than the ghost woman is just the difference in Andariel's treatment. It is said that Andariel was fond of forcibly transforming the Banshee of the River Styx who offended her into a ghost woman, from extreme beauty to extreme ugliness, which was originally an extremely painful torture. Perhaps, the transformation from the Banshee of the River Styx to the Ghost Woman originally symbolized the process that every woman had to face, full of suffering and torture, and also symbolized that some women had very different appearances. But two forms that are equally vicious and dangerous. Therefore, these two high-level classes are the best representation of Andariel as the "Queen of Torment and Suffering".
Retsars has a lot of combat experience, and it is naturally not difficult to see at a glance that solving these two ** classes is the key to victory, but the question is how to implement it.
"This kind of thing, just leave it to us!" accompanied by a calm and crisp female voice, at this moment, the aura of the teleportation array flashed one after another. This time, it was Alice, Ming Yanwei, and the other two Rog archer squad leaders who came out.
"Oh?" Infinity looked sideways when she heard this, and after her gaze swept over Ming Yanwei and the others, she immediately fell on Alice. With her gaze. It is not difficult to see the strength of Ming Yanwei and others at a glance, and the only thing that she can't see through is Alice.
"Have all the archers in the Rock Collar be replaced with special bows and arrows in batches. And test firing in batches in the castle, these two Rog captains will teach them how to master the performance. Alice said first, and then asked Ming Yanwei, "Can you see it?"
"I can see it!" Ming Yanwei first looked up at the sky, then looked around at the battlefield, and finally said an affirmative answer.
"Very well, we promise that in the future, there will be no more banshees and ghosts in the field of vision of all the archers......" Alice's cold and confident words carried an inexplicable power into the ears of all the archers present, and their hearts were already exhausted.
"Oh?" Infinity finally couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Could it be that you are also a legend?"
Even she was sure to shoot down one or two percent of the Styx Banshees at a time, forcing the remaining Styx Banshees to move further away from the castle. After all, this group of demon women is not only full of tricks, but also extremely cautious, as high-level monsters, they are by no means quails to be shot.
"I don't know what makes a legend. Alice shook her head, "I just believe that we can do this with everyone's strength!"
Less than half an hour later, the remaining sixty or so archers in the Rock Collar were all ready, and each of them had replaced with a brand new bow and arrow that had just been sent by the teleportation array.
Ming Yanwei looked up at the sky, and in her eyes, all the Styx banshees had faded all illusions and invisible disguises, and "chiluo" was naked in front of her eyes.
This is the B-level "True Eye", which is the reward that Ming Yanwei obtained after the end of "Diablo One" to redeem herself for the enhancement of huàn. This skill is claimed to have the incomparable power to see through a visual illusion and then gain insight into the truth of the world, and some advanced illusions can see anomalies even if they are not enough to see through them completely. Even Qi Tengyi's vision, she can also show some inexplicable anomalies.
Ming Yanwei originally had an unusually keen eyesight, and the effect after strengthening the "True Eye" was unusually good, and the effect of conventional B-level enhancement was unusually good. In addition, she was appreciated by Akara with the "True Eye", and obtained some skills related to solving illusions from the "Blind Eye" from Akara, as well as a magic ring that can greatly enhance her eyesight.
Under the effect of various blessings. The visions of the Banshees of the River Styx and the dark spells of the ghosts, who were unprepared in advance, were seen through by Qing Yiyi, but only Ming Yanwei could see through them. It doesn't seem to be very useful......
Immediately, I saw Alice close her eyes and concentrate, and many colorful and varied translucent silk threads suddenly appeared in the void, shuttling back and forth, each strand passed through a person's forehead, linking the thinking of Ming Yanwei and all the archers present, so that all the archers shared Ming Yanwei's perspective.
With Alice's strong spiritual power, it is completely enough to link the minds of hundreds of people and nearly a thousand people. However, before she cultivates the "Outer Path Manifestation of Great Freedom in the Buddha's Light" in the "Future Star Tribulation Mahayana Selfless Righteousness Sutra" into the realm of the Buddha's light, the alienated spiritual power will still be traceable.
Of course, the spiritual power of alienation also has the benefits of alienation, and at the same time, the arrows of each archer also began to shine with seven-colored evil qi, as if they were blessed with a magical weapon with cursed power.
At the same time, Retsas, who had long been aware of Alice and the others' plans, suddenly increased the "Fanatical Aura Aura", which can increase damage, attack, and accuracy, to the extreme, and blessed all archers.
Everything. With an order from the spiritual link, the short and dull string tremor of "Buzz ......" joined together, and hundreds of angry arrows were released at the same moment, dragging a long exploding tail flame with a long-suppressed, poignant sonic boom. Aim precisely at every Styx banshee in the sky.
With the terrible screams of the banshees and the continuous violent explosions, a string of brilliant fireworks exploded under the sky!
It stands to reason that the vast majority of cunning banshees are far out of the range of ordinary magic and bows, and even if a master archer is a threat to them, they still have plenty of room to dodge. But now these archers use it. But it's all the "multi-stage plus burst arrows" that have not been opened long in the workshop of Rog's camp!
When the arrow is fired, the gunpowder on the shaft of the arrow will explode in sections from the rear end and shoot hot gas backwards. Like the multi-stage split rocket, the degree of pushing the arrow is getting faster and faster, and the arrow cluster is engraved with a wind magic array that can reduce air resistance and maintain a straight trajectory, and eventually it can even reach more than ten times the range dù, and the range is correspondingly greatly extended, and when the arrow hits the target, there will be a strong explosion!
The vast majority of qualified archers in the dark world can shoot sound arrows, and archers above the elite level even have skills such as "multiple arrows" and "guide arrows", as well as additional attributes such as reduced air resistance and high penetration rate. The surviving banshees scattered in a panic, not daring to stay any longer.
However, this is not the end, the seven-colored evil qi attached to the arrow recondenses into the image of the seven-evil spirit body after strangling the banshee, and pursues the surviving banshee with the degree of Yueyin.
The banshee may scream with a terrible scream that can shatter the boulder, or cast a curse with a curse, or a magic light bullet that can channel and deflect magic to try to stop it. However, the Seven Evil Spirit Bodies were originally condensed by a strong curse and evil qi, and there was no substance, the sonic attack was ineffective, and the curse was even more like adding fuel to the fire, which could only fuel its power, and it had always been under Alice's mind control, and the magic light bullet could not be deflected. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the banshee was penetrated by the Seven Evil Spirit Bodies. Although there were no scars on the surface, their eyes were out of focus, and their hands and feet convulsed and fell down from the sky, and before they could land, they were exploded into flesh and blood fireworks by the magic and bows and arrows that followed.
At the same time, Alice, who had been in a state of closed eyes, suddenly showed a look of surprise, but did not say anything.
Witnessing the tragic situation of a group of Styx banshees, a large group of men involuntarily showed a twisted expression that mixed excitement and regret. While excited about the results, many people feel that it is really a very bad thing to blow up such a group of bewitching stunners on the spot, and it would be great if they could be captured alive and forced to sign a master-slave contract to be accepted as a demon pet......
Because this round of blows was too heavy and sudden, the entire demon army was stunned and silent in an instant.
"Prepare ......"
But before the other monsters could react, all the archers had already reversed their targets at the command of the spirit connection. Aimed at the Ghost Woman in all ranges.
As another round of intensive bombardment exploded on the flat ground, the summoning magic arrays that had been blooming everywhere were stunned. The Helllegion's originally smooth attack rhythm was finally interrupted!
In fact, the casualties of the ghost women who are active on the flat ground and often cunning to hide themselves with tall monsters and rocks are not as heavy as the Banshees of the Styx, but the fate of the Banshees has made them frightened, where do they dare to stay within the strike range of this round of arrow attacks? However, the Banshees and the Ghost Women do not know that the "Multi-stage Plus Burst Arrow" is not easy to make in the first place, and the number of "Multi-stage Plus Burst Arrows" supported by Rog's camp is actually limited, and after two rounds of blows, it has already consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight. If there is another round, I don't expect this kind of result!
The elemental mage, who was worried and held back a breath of evil, took the opportunity to explode, and the unprecedented intensity of magic cut the ground under the city by more than three feet, plus the archers who replaced the ordinary burst arrows began to make a big profit, and the originally boundless monster frenzy showed a tendency to retreat backwards.
The castle roared with joy, and the archers who participated in the attack almost cried with joy. It's been coming. Their status in the Rock Territory is far below that of mages, but the biggest achievement since the start of the war was created by them, which is naturally enough to make them inexplicably excited!
Infiniti was shocked, but also couldn't help but show admiration, a group of archers who were mostly below the elite level actually created a record that even legendary archers could hardly match, which had to be said to be a miracle! Competitiveness rises!
At this moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, and Retsas, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a rune war spear, took three paladin masters and stepped on the divine aura to cross the crowd. on their bodies. It burned with extremely pure divine light, as thick as water, as bright as the rising sun, and as blazing as thunder. At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted to them.
"May the warriors, come with me!" With a majestic roar from Retsas, the four paladins formed an invincible cone formation and strode down the city through the ladder. Behind them were the remnants of the garrison, less than three hundred, who had just changed into the new equipment provided by the Rog camp.
In order to defend the city defense, in order to protect the mage regardless of a single qiē, they were the group of people who had suffered the heaviest casualties in the past few days, and the strength of the original army of a wing was now less than three hundred. However, now, these warriors who look like wolves, the fanaticism in everyone's eyes is like substance, and the "Divine Impact Aura" reflected all over the body reflects a group of people like thunder angels descending from the sky to the world, and the magnificent momentum makes Zheng Zha also look sideways!
The sword was sharp, the spear was invincible, and the slapping of the shield shouted the war song of the human race, and the warriors of less than three hundred people burst out with unprecedented strength that was even better than that of thousands of troops. It was as if it was not an army of terrifying monsters several times their own that stood in front of them, but a vulnerable scarecrow.
"The Holy Light is with us!" Retesas shouted loudly, his whole body bloomed with dazzling divine thunder and lightning, and the use of the divine aura made the effect of the "Fanatical Aura Aura" be blessed on his own people, while the "Aura of Faith Aura" and "Aura of Divine Impact" covered a huge area of more than 100 yards in front of him in one fell swoop, trampling on an inviolable thunder holy land on the filthy battlefield, making all the monsters who intended to surround him scream and retreat......
From a high place, the battle situation is even more spectacular, only to see the formation of sharp arrows reflected in the holy light all over the body like a huge thunder war spear, with an invincible momentum to split the dirty red and black tide, straight forward, sweeping away. Everywhere I went, all the monsters that couldn't be avoided were turned to ashes in an instant...... In front of them, to the right and left, all sorts of elemental magic and explosions scrambled to bloom, but this was the long-range support of mages and archers.
Although in a state of incomparably frenzied rushing, Retsass remained extremely calm in his mind. His momentum, though varied and nimble, was faintly approaching a boulder a mile away. Just behind that huge rock, at an angle that was difficult for magic and archers to attack, the fire could be faintly seen swaying, black smoke rising, and the sound of gold and iron colliding. As early as he arrived on the battlefield, he already knew that many monsters armed with metal weapons and armor were pouring out of it, so it must have been a place for the Legion of Hell's weapons to forge and repair. Right now, taking advantage of the frustration of the Hell Legion, we must take the opportunity to eradicate it!
As long as it doesn't conflict with Chu Xuan's plan, they must try to ensure that more of them survive...... Zheng Qi looked at this qiē silently, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
……………………………………
At the same time that Retesas and others have achieved a record that is enough to change the situation of the battle. Sebasti has made her way to the interior of the Tower of Fire.
Thanks to the use of precious materials from the monster's stomach pouch, the solidified space magic expands the space. Coupled with many special enchantment items that ordinary nobles can't enjoy, the interior of the Mage Tower looks spacious and gorgeous. The huge dome seemed to be made of a dazzling whole piece of red jade, and several huge and regular magic arrays were spliced together with fine gemstones, reflecting the colorful brilliance!
Behind the luxury, however, are all sorts of spell fluctuations diffuse, in addition to the regular spells that isolate detection, and the spatial locks that prohibit the transmission of magic. It's also hard to be sure that the colorful gemstones that adorn the walls are just ordinary gemstones. Or a magic trap with some offensive magic stored in it, if you move the slightest, you will be bombarded into slag in minutes!
The middle of the hall is slightly darkened by the scarlet curtain. In the middle of the curtain was a piece of sand covered with soft plush animal skins, and a beautiful woman in an extraordinarily fine and luxurious robe sat on her side. A large number of runes were combined into an intricate but beautiful lace of the robe, and on the edges of the blood-red silk robe, slender white fingers were folded on the legs. The various rings that were almost full of ten fingers shone with different lights, and on the graceful neck was a necklace that shone like a star, and the end was buried in a deep cleavage, so that it was impossible to see what the neck pendant looked like.
This beautiful woman has a face that is faintly bewitching in nobility and looks unusually young. In fact, if it weren't for the overly mature charm and arrogant and inviolable temperament of the superior, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a girl.
"Congratulations, Lord Count Christ. We've made an alliance with Camp Rog, and now that the Banshees of Styx and the Ghost Woman have been battered, the battle has changed dramatically. And within a day, reinforcements will arrive!" Sebasti's eyes were undisguised with fascination and surprise at the sight of the beautiful woman. Immediately fell to one knee and fell to his knees on the crimson carpet.
Countess Christer's two jewel-like stars have a breathtaking light. In a pleasant, sweet and indifferent voice, he asked, "Explain the details of your mission." ”
"Yes!" Sebasti immediately used light illusion magic to show the process of his arrival at Rog's camp one by one, although the sound of the whole negotiation process could not be simulated by magic, but he had excellent ventriloquism, almost imitating the voice and tone of Zheng Zha and the others vividly, perfectly reproducing the whole process.
"You're doing a great job. After watching the whole process, the countess just gave a non-trivial affirmation, and then ordered, "For all the reinforcements that come, the 'Burning Spirit Incense' and a qiē potion must be supplied first!"
"Everything will be as you wish!" Sebastian bowed down, sensing that his master seemed to be a little distracted, and then asked cautiously, "My lord, ...... your injuries?"
"That's not what you need to care about!" the countess's tone was already irritating, and Sebasti shuddered before bowing in recognition.
After a few more moments of silence, the countess suddenly stood up, slowly came to an inconspicuous corner, and made an arc in the air.
A dazzling crimson arc appeared on the wall. It soon spread, and everywhere it went, the original walls disappeared without a trace...... A hallway lit by torches appeared in front of her.
On both sides of the passage, every two meters, there is a steel golem with a gun and an axe, which is heavily guarded. Soon, the countess passed through the long passage and came to a richly decorated bedroom.
Obviously, this is her private bedroom for meditation and sleep, and no matter how powerful a mage is, they are the most vulnerable when they meditate and sleep, so they tend to prepare a secret and safe place for themselves.
However, in the bedroom, which was supposed to be only for the countess, there were several more people—dead people!
Twelve young women in the shape of maids lay across a blood-colored magic array, their eyes long out of focus looking hollow and unfocused, their skin looking unusually pale and shriveled, as if all the blood had been lost.
Glancing indifferently at the female corpses, the countess came to a dresser mirror, and with indescribable complexity, examined herself in the mirror very carefully, not letting go of a single detail, even the slightest inconspicuous skin texture, a pore that could make her look at it for a long time, like an artist carefully admiring an unusually beautiful and fragile work of art.
"Don't worry, the vitality of these twelve young women is enough to keep you for a month, the youngest and most beautiful years!" A magnetic, hoarse female voice suddenly came from behind the countess, and there was no respect in her tone, but it was full of some kind of banter.
"A month?" asked the countess indifferently.
"Yes, a month. After that, every five days, you need a young girl to give your young life for you. Otherwise...... "A beautiful woman with a unique charm walked out of the dark corner of the room, she hid her face in a purple veil, the only thing that could be seen was a pair of lilac eyes and a bewitching perfect figure.
"Yes, if it is interrupted, the curse bestowed by Andariel himself will be repeated. In a few days, you will be transformed from a beautiful stunner coveted by countless men into a disgusting ugly old woman, black into silver threads, with wrinkles and rotten sores and pustules crawling on your smooth and tender skin, hunched over, and your whole body will be like a dry walnut, and your whole body will exude a stench that even a pig does not want to smell!" The mysterious girl gently stroked the countess's smooth and porcelain-like snow-white skin, and sighed with great regret, "This is the famous 'Curse of the Ghost Woman', which was bestowed by Andariel himself, and even the archangel could not lift it." Curse the Devil'!"
