Volume 1: The Land of the Dead Chapter 80: A Dinner at Sea (5)
"I ...... Hungry ....."
The monster's roar was like an unbearable cacophony of fingernails scratching glass, and the hideous mouth that had just eaten Anos's head uttered the most terrifying words in the world in a dry and strange tone.
The conditions under which the evil spirits, a myriad of resentful souls, are still mysterious, and mages can only speculate on their formation through limited records.
In addition, the strength of the evil spirits is also very different, but the common thing is that they can all grow quickly through brutal killing, and the birth of each evil spirit can almost be regarded as a disaster, and those evil spirits that are not eliminated in the bud can even grow to the point that the kingdom needs to send a legion to encircle and suppress them.
Compared to the evil spirits, the bloodthirsty undead created by the necromancer can almost be regarded as the five good citizens. Of course, this strange and evil creature naturally can't escape the covetousness of the group of necromancers, but thankfully, the artificial creation of evil spirits has always been a difficult research topic in the necromancer circle, and they are still in a state of ignorance about such a soul-like complex that can be mixed together and still exhibit some of the characteristics of living beings.
To date, all known attempts to artificially create evil spirits have failed, and the results have been strikingly similar.
Souls forcibly mixed by magic will either simply stir with each other and eventually form a useless energy mass, or the souls will inexplicably fuse and devour each other, even if the mages add various types of stabilizers, this process cannot be stopped, and the best result is that those broken souls will take a single soul as the core, twist and evolve into a bloated soul complex that constantly collapses.
One of the most successful experiments with man-made spirits recorded was the 'Fertile Ground Project' implemented by Saguras the Fallen Soul in AE1302, in which he transformed a kobold village adjacent to the Violet Empire into a dead realm by spreading the plague of death, and then collected resentful spirits to construct evil spirits, which were recorded to have disintegrated and collapsed in a matter of seconds, but caused the fall of dozens of high-level necromancers, including Saguras.
It's a bit far, let's get down to business.
With a punch thrown with all his strength, Roger's body shriveled down like a deflated balloon, and returned to his usual thin appearance, and he could only helplessly watch the evil spirit break free from its restraints and evolve rapidly.
"Damn, even in such a short period of time, the strength has grown, obviously I feel that photocopying can be restrained, so is the source of resentment the captain? ”
Seeing that the restraint and attack did not work, Roger muttered as he quickly changed a certain magic model that had been prepared for a long time, and with the resonance of the magic element, the air around the evil spirit suddenly became viscous, and its every movement seemed to be against the weight of a thousand jun, even its tentacle-like tongue became sluggish for a while.
"Good opportunity. ”
As soon as this thought flashed through Roger's mind, his sensitive perception made him detect the attack from behind, and Roger, who was almost entirely focused on the evil spirit, was unable to dodge for a while, so he had to turn sideways to avoid the vital point, and then, as if his body was torn apart, Brandon's sharp claws easily pierced Roger's chest.
"Mentor (Roger)!" chaotic shouts sounded at the same time, and the raindrops of icicles and arrows fell in the direction of Brandon's point at the same time, and Brandon, who wanted to continue the attack, had to avoid it for a while, and dodged to the corner of the room to stare coldly at Roger's swaying body.
"Brother Brandon, what do you mean by that?" said Roger angrily, holding the piercing wound on his left chest so that Brandon could not see the sight of the muscles squirming to repair the wound.
Brandon stretched out his long scarlet tongue and licked the blood on his metal claws, sneering, and did not answer Roger's question, but the cold light in his golden vertical pupils became more and more terrifying.
"Oops!" Roger seemed to have just reacted, and when he turned around, he was met by the vicious mouth of the evil spirit, and his deformed and twisted arm instantly grabbed the unsuspecting Roger, its cheeks opened, and its entire mouth was divided into four petals, and it wanted to swallow Roger in one gulp.
In a panic, Roger twisted his body to break free, but the skin of the evil spirit secreted a layer of fishy oil, which was unbearably slippery, which was the tung oil often used by the boatmen, which made Roger unable to exert his strength at all, and could only watch the blood basin bite off his head.
"Don't be too troublesome, Andre. Brandon shouted to Andre, who was about to come to the rescue, and with a backhand claw, his sharp strength tore four scratches on the floor, forcing back Elway and the others who wanted to get closer, and at this time, Roger had been completely swallowed by the evil spirit!
"That's what deceived me. Brandon said viciously.
"I'll go, it stinks. In the boundless distorted darkness, a little white light suddenly appeared, and Roger, who had turned into a spirit, appeared here pinching his nose, and he still had time to complain here after his body had just been turned into nourishment for evil spirits.
After looking around, Roger identified a certain direction where the soul fluctuations were most intense, and as soon as his mind moved, the spirit body shifted to the position of the soul core of the evil spirit's distortion, after all, this form of entering the spirit body by forcibly blocking the bug of the 'initial' concept could not last long.
"Oh~ It's really spectacular, it's the first time I've seen such a soul, well, I didn't come in vain. Staring at the black and purple 'sun' burning under his feet, Roger held his chin and sighed, "But that thief is really calm, I don't come up to mend the knife even after I'm like this, or is his target this time not me?"
Thinking of this, Roger clapped his hands, "By the way, if I tell those necromancers about the existence of this thing, maybe I can make a lot of money, and it won't be in vain for me to come here." ”
Here Roger is still making calculations without a lower limit, but the black and purple 'sun' under his feet seems to be aware of Roger's existence, and the crown derived from the soul suddenly swells, wanting to turn Roger's little dot into a part of himself.
"Haha, you want to assimilate me, just the souls of hundreds of you little ones are not qualified!" Roger sneered, raising his hand to resist the onslaught of the heaven-like soul, and at that moment, the mutant was born.
"Boom. ”
The thick bell rang from the boundless, and the soul impact that had already arrived in front of Roger's eyes evaporated in an instant along with the filthy black and purple 'sun', and all of a sudden, only the stunned Roger was left in this soul space.
"I'm going, what's the situation!?" Monk Roger was at a loss, and a familiar aura suddenly descended, making him stunned.
"Observer 9527, urgent mission AN-981 has been generated, assigned to you according to the principle of proximity to the transaction, please deal with it as soon as possible. ”
"I'll go, I'm going to live?"
