Chapter 1259 - Occupancy Ceremony
"You can call me Fire Man!"
Grim raised his eyes to look at the strange-looking big scorpion, and said lightly.
In such a team that is completely unfamiliar with each other, keeping a low profile may save you from some unnecessary trouble, but it will also lower your opinion in the eyes of the rest of your 'buddies'.
Once a guy is identified as a 'weakling' by the rest of the group, then a lot of drudgery and self-interest will await it.
There are few good people who can form 'friends' with the lich, and of course they will be oppressed if they are not as good as others. Everywhere you go, you can't avoid it!
Therefore, although Grim is low-key, he is unprecedentedly tough in his attitude.
"I've never heard of the name Fire Man...... Why, have you two heard of this name?" the Sand King asked the two big men who stood quietly beside him.
To be honest, these two strange-looking guys have long made Grim's heart palpitate.
The first one should be the famous Medusa in terms of appearance alone.
Medusa seems to have only females and no males, and as for how they reproduce, this is not something that Grim can understand.
This is a strange Medusa with a tall body, but a perfect blend of strength and grace.
She stood tall and erect, her upper body was completely curvaceous and graceful in the form of a human beauty, and the torso of the red fruit was covered with a layer of indigo tined scales, densely packed and stacked on top of each other.
The two huge bulbous protrusions on the chest are so majestic and huge, like two footballs stuffed under the scales. And with her every move, it is shaking slightly, which is particularly eye-catching.
The six arms, also covered in fine scales, each held several different styles of weapons and armor, and the magic on them was so bright that it was a special magical weapon at first glance.
Behind her was a ten-meter-long snake tail that could support her body as it meandered across the rugged ground.
As for her slender cheeks, it is completely in line with human aesthetics, and she looks so beautiful and charming. But the long, cold vertical pupils, the bright purple lips, and the terrible snake hair that was constantly wriggling...... These are eye-catching signs of her terrible and cruel!
It's not that there is no creature like Medusa under Grim's men, but it is the first time that Medusa, who has reached the 4th intermediate level, has seen it.
Such monsters can be used near and far, and they also have powerful petrification abilities, and they are also extremely difficult magical creatures!
And not far from her, there was a strange being standing in the pestle.
Seriously, this fourth guy is a huge, hazy cloud of blue light.
In the dense blue light, you can vaguely see a strange skeleton model outlined by dots of white light, which looks like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast, which is extremely weird.
Star Spirit ...... This is a star spirit from the spirit realm!
Grim was screaming inwardly.
Damn, I didn't see this kind of special creature exclusive to the spirit realm last time I ran to the door, and I didn't expect to encounter it in the depths of this vast sea of stars today.
These astral spirits are a special kind of lifeform, they have no flesh and blood, no torso, only a strange body infused with ghostly energy. They are capable of converting any kind of magical energy into bizarre spectral energy, which they can then use to unleash incredibly powerful spectral mystical magic.
Since Spectral Energy and most Otherworldly abilities are not part of the same energy system, ordinary creatures have little to no means of defending against Spectral Abilities.
According to some wizards who have been exposed to spectral energy, if you want to defend against strange energy outside of this system, the witchcraft of the elemental lineage is not very easy to use, but the pure energy shield after removing the elemental characteristics is more useful.
Some wizards have also analyzed that ghost energy is a strange power formed by the combination of spiritual power and pure energy. The only way to kill the Star Spirits is to destroy the Spectral Shell on the outside of their bodies and destroy the Spectral Core that holds their souls inside.
However, this kind of thing is obviously easier said than done, and a powerful star spirit is much more difficult to deal with than a spellcaster of the same level in every way. So if it is not necessary, Grim does not want to be the enemy of a star spirit!
"Sand King, don't talk nonsense!" The bewitching Medusa swayed her body and swam over: "He was invited by Congenus, don't you still believe in Contankus's eyes?"
The Sand King danced the two pairs of huge claws in front of him, and said in a muffled voice: "This lich likes to do things with people the most, and only newcomers who can't take it will be pulled into the team." It seems that this fire man should also have a hand!"
"Alright, now that the people have arrived, you can tell us about the mission! If anyone doesn't want to participate, quit as soon as possible, and save the time to delay......" The star spirit stepped forward, shaking the void with a strange spiritual language.
Grim's eyes narrowed slightly in the shadow of his hood, and the blue glow shone in the depths of his pupils.
"Drop, xenomorphic magical energy has been detected, and it cannot be classified into the existing magic system...... Please give the subject a name for the magical energy?"
"Spectral energy!"
"Drop, a new energy lineage has been established, named Spectral Energy...... This energy is a combination of powerful psychic power and pure void energy, possessing a powerful ability to empower and telepathize......"
"Empowering...... What kind of ability is this?"
"Drop, ghost energy is originally a special kind of spiritual energy, which is a manifestation of the materialization and quantification of spiritual power. According to the level of ghost energy intensity, it can be represented by four colors: red, green, yellow, and blue, with the red level being the highest and the blue level being the lowest. This also indicates that when the color of the opponent's ghost energy changes, it is also a sign that its energy level has increased!"
"Empowerment is a strange use of spectral energy! Star spirits can attach spectral energy to the surface of matter at will, thus simulating some special magical effects. For example: explosion, decomposition, disturbance, restraint ......"
However, just as Grim was silently staring at the star spirit, secretly analyzing the strange ghostly power outside its body, the other party also seemed to sense something.
In the depths of the blue cloud, a pair of yellow rays lit up strangely, and glanced at Grim in the distance.
The yellow rays that represented the power of the star spirits and the red light that shot out from Grim's eyes collided halfway. A visible ripple of energy swept by, and both sides couldn't help but take a step back, their expressions becoming solemn and solemn at the same time.
The pale blue cloud of energy outside the Star Spirit's body began to slowly change color, turning towards a dense yellow.
This also means that the level of ghost energy in the astral spirit's body is rising, and it is on the verge of battle vigilance!
"Alright, let's stop in moderation!" At this time, the lich Conganath, who was in charge, could only come forward in person: "What we need to deal with this time is an ice dragon with a level of up to the 4th order, you better save some strength to vent on that guy!"
With this Dawson's cold words, a string of bone teeth hanging from Congurnas's waist suddenly burst. Then a wall of bones ten meters long, one meter wide, and two meters high rose from the ground, separating Grim and the Star Spirit on either side.
The two of them had no intention of starting a war, but they just showed their strength through this small conflict. Although the energy ripple that exploded in mid-air was not of high strength, it had already demonstrated their basic strength.
The Sand King, who looked like a big scorpion, and Si Xina, who was full of snake-haired and frantically scarry, couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both sensed an unsettling aura of law from that energy ripple.
"Okay, since everyone is here, then I'll give you a brief introduction!"
The body of the lich Conganus floated in the void half a meter above the ground, and the scarlet soul fire stared coldly at everyone.
"The Sand King, from a strange plane called Dune Castle, is also the king there, ruling over a complete small plane...... And what it is good at is sand-based attacks, with good cover and attack capabilities. Especially, its defenses are the strongest among us!"
No one argues with that!
If nothing else, just looking at the thick pale golden carapace of the Sand King, you can imagine how strong its defense is. Moreover, most of the insect creatures are tenacious, which is also the envy of other races.
"Hehe, Bone Rack, don't taunt me! Don't you want me to be a meat shield for you now! First of all, if that old dragon's lair has the equipment I use, no one is allowed to rob me of ......" The Sand King rolled his dark green compound eyes and gritted his teeth in warning.
"No one will rob you!" "The lich Conganus's white jaws trembled up and down, and let out a crisp chirp: "The snake girl Sihina is taking the high-sensitivity route, I, the fire man, and the star spirit Turas are all spellcasters, if there is really that 'earth barrier', it must be yours." ”
After receiving the lich's affirmative reply, the Sand King closed his mouth in satisfaction.
"The snake girl Sina, from the Shadow Song plane, she is also a small and powerful lord there, with nearly 10,000 gorgons under her hands. And what she does best is melee grappling and petrification paralysis attacks......"
After listening to the lich's introduction, the snake girl Sisina just nodded arrogantly and did not continue to introduce herself.
"Turas, the star spirit, comes from the spirit realm, which is a powerful plane that can be compared to the wizarding world. What it is good at is magical ghostly energy, and as for ability......" At this point, Congurnus paused, obviously not knowing how to describe the strange ghost.
"I don't need to say much about His Excellency Tulas. I think everyone present knows how powerful and strange this creature is, so I don't have to bother talking about it!" Grim smiled.
He could see that it was not the first time that the people in front of him had gotten together, and they had a vague understanding with each other. Among them, I am afraid that only I am a complete newcomer.
"So, Your Excellency Fire Man, do you want to introduce yourself, or will you let me introduce you?" said the lich Congurnus coldly.
"I'd better do it myself!" Grim stepped forward, "My name is Grim, you can also call me Fire Man." I'm from the wizarding world, where I also have a small territory of my own in the middle of the continent. As for what I'm good at...... I think that's one of the main reasons why Lord Congurnus invited me here!"
As soon as the brief introduction ended, Grim could immediately feel that the vigilance from the rest of the people had inexplicably subtracted a trace.
Obviously, they have recognized their own strength, and they have initially regarded themselves as 'partners' in the team!
