Chapter 92: The Lord of Shadows, the Guardian of Ice!
Shadow Shelter, a skill that works pretty well for this useful effect, is actively activated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ling Qi couldn't help but open the attribute panel, and even saw that his stealth skills kept changing between intermediate and advanced, which was beyond the original skill amplification effect of Shadow Shelter!
The evil power of the cold nature poured into his body one after another, and more death power did not need to drill towards the ice skeleton, the strange look on Lucian's face had been noticed by Ling Qi, but it was a pity that he had no strength to question for a while!
The same darkness, two completely different powers, complement each other, one is the most fundamental darkness and evil in heaven and earth, but it seems to be contaminated with some kind of will, trying to completely merge with Ling Qi. What the Ice Crystal Skeleton attracts is another very similar but not identical energy, the power of death!
The resistance of the will is the most difficult, the fusion of energy torments the physical body, when he feels this consciousness and even tries to completely "occupy" him, how can Ling Qi not resist with all his might!
Fortunately, after the abnormal activation of the shadow shelter, Ling Qi could feel that the pain in his body seemed to be suppressed a little, the huge dark power that was transforming his physical attributes was actually silently eroded by another deeper darkness in his body, it was an energy of the same origin, rarer and more condensed!
He was even able to control his body to make some simple movements, and he was able to start thinking about the origin of this "abnormality"!
Ling Qi, who has never received divine grace, certainly doesn't know what it should be like to receive God's "gift", but Lucien's undisguised fanaticism clearly tells him that things have changed!
Ling Qi didn't know what to do to be right, whether it was the Door of Death, or the so-called Hittis, all of them were existences far beyond the boundaries of what he could currently understand, and even Lucian, if he wanted to kill him, it would probably not be much more difficult than pinching an ant to death!
The only way he could contend with the dark forces that were trying to overwhelm him was to borrow something he couldn't understand, but on a comparable level, like some mysterious statue!
Click!
In Lucien's stunned gaze, Ling Qi reluctantly took out a small black wood carving from his arms, and then simply crushed it.
The dark power that had already invaded his body and even began to erode his soul was like a fly that smelled fish, rolling out of his body, and turned towards the little crystal condensation that suddenly appeared after the wood carving shattered!
"This is, divinity?!"
Ling Qi had never thought that divinity was actually a visible thing. It's a pity that he couldn't stop the change of dark power at all, and when most of this power retreated, he fell to his knees directly in exhaustion!
And the ice crystal skeleton in his arms had turned into a gray-blue color, it was a faint dark blue, and a purple streak spread out from the skull's eye socket and wrapped around him!
After the statue shattered, not only did it leave behind that bit of essence, but there was also a small amount of death qi, all of which converged with the death power that was originally pouring towards the skeleton, rushing towards the skeleton in Ling Qi's arms like an angry dragon!
Click!
When the last bit of dark power disappeared from Ling Qi's body, a large cloud of shadows carried away with that bit of crystal cracking, and the majestic death power had all been fused into the ice crystal skeleton, and the surface of this skeleton began to appear one after another fine cracks as if it was overwhelmed!
That's when —
"Mortal, I love your gift, as a generous god, this is my reward to you!"
"In addition, although you have rejected my first active arrival in 800 years, you are really special, I remember you! From this day on, you are my voice in the mortal world. ”
A voice suddenly appeared behind the boundless starry sky, and just where a large cloud of shadows wrapped around the crystal disappeared, a majestic will suddenly appeared, condensing directly into the skeleton. I saw that the ice crystal skeleton stood up with a bang, and the death power that was so huge that it could not be transformed at all began to condense towards the skeleton's cranial cavity, and finally shrank into a ball. Ling Qi's intuition was stunned, and a small purple seed immediately detached from his soul and burrowed into the skull of the ice crystal skeleton along the purple streaks between him and the skeleton. Behind its hollow eye sockets burst into a bluish-purple flame, and the flames split into three, the largest one staying in the center, and the smaller two clusters flying to where the skeleton was supposed to be!
There was another voice in Ling Qi's mind in an instant!
"Lord~Master!"
It was only then that he was sure that it was over, although he barely understood what had just happened, and knew that he was supposed to be a blessing in disguise.
The voice came and went faster, and almost in the moment when the skeleton was formed, the will to come again was gone, like a miserly rich man, who would not waste even a little bit of strength.
Lucien walked to his side at this time, staring at Ling Qi with complicated eyes, and stopped talking a few times.
Ling Qi's mind was in chaos now, the residual exhaustion after the severe pain in his body had subsided, and he didn't want to worry about anything for the time being.
"Lucien, my lord, I can go out. ”
Although Lucien could feel the change unexpectedly, his fanaticism still disgusted him. Even if you think about the previous changes with your toes, you can't get rid of the snatching, control, etc., the advent of bullshit, it really made that thing come to fruition, and there will be something for him in the future. He was so disappointed in this kind of cultist that in their eyes no friendship value was worth a stinky fart from the gods.
"Uh~when, of course, Lynch, Lord Lynch. ”
Lucien seemed to be still digesting what had just happened, especially the words that the being had left behind when he finally left, which was hard for him to accept.
The man in front of him didn't seem to have the slightest reverence for the existence he believed in, and according to him, such a person should be burned at the stake!
No amount of appreciation and demand can withstand the disobedience of the gods, and the refusal to descend from the gods is a hundred times more serious than heinousness!
On the contrary, it was as if he had given something to please that being, and instead of caring about his sins, he gave him the status of an angel!
But, God's Messenger!!
And what was that little bit of crystal, he always felt as if he had seen something like that somewhere.
Ling Qi didn't care what Lucien thought at all, and he didn't have the slightest awareness of being an envoy. Only he knew what the damn thing had gotten, a treasure that even the gods coveted!
He has no regrets, no regrets, and the results are good enough for him now.
Silently communicated with the voice in his consciousness for a few words, then turned around and walked towards the location of the "door"!
Lucien immediately stepped forward a few steps and opened the door for him.
As the faint lights outside the house shone in, the strange atmosphere in the room disappeared immediately, as if this space, which had just been isolated, had once again returned to the normal world of order!
It was only then that the hints of a mysterious voice followed!
Back in the room on the second floor, ignoring the ghostly eyes of a few friends and servants after seeing the ice crystal skeleton, Ling Qi lay down directly on the bed, and his whole body began to relax, sinking into the soft goose down.
Looking at the belated, or "isolated" prompts, which probably meant that there was something wrong with a certain skill on his body, Ling Qi exhaled out the attribute panel and took a look, and sure enough, the actively activated talent of Shadow Shelter had disappeared, and was replaced by another passive talent, the King of Shadows!
In addition, Fang Cai's torture didn't seem to be in vain, at least he had increased in terms of will, and after coming and going, this attribute with unknown effect became his highest attribute.
His stats have now become:
"Race: Human. ”
"Gender: Male. ”
"Name: Ling Qi. ”
"Age: 28. ”
"Basic attributes: Strength (15) (Glory of the Sword Singer +3), Agility (15) (Glory of the Sword Singer +3), Constitution (15) (Glory of the Sword Singer +3), Intelligence (14), Spirit (17), Perception (19) (Glory of the Sword Singer +3), Charisma (14), Will (22). ”
Note: The average of all attributes of normal adult male humans in the chosen plane's plane is 10, and luck is a hidden attribute, which is unknown for the time being. ”
"Basic Skills: Intermediate Chemistry, Elementary Mathematics, Basic Management, Basic Psychology, Intermediate Swordsmanship (Glory of the Sword Singer +2, Wind Warrior Talisman +1), Basic Bowart, Intermediate Stealth (King of Shadows +1), Basic Summon. ”
"Special Skills: Wind Grace (Level 2) (Wind Warrior Amulet), Bloodthirsty Assault (Level 1) (Glory of the Sword Singer), Flame Shaping (Level 1), Dark Arrow (Level 1), Backstab (Level 1) (Lord of Shadows), Shadow Strike (Level 1) (King of Shadows). ”
"Talents: Lord of Shadows, Blade Roar (inactive), Fire Resistance (Level 1), Glory of the Sword Singer (Inheritor). ”
"Important: You've started a Secret Inheritance, so please reach your Legacy goal as soon as possible. ”
He took a closer look at the attribute panel again, and found that in addition to his will, even his spirit had increased a little, but the last time he learned to summon the basics, his spirit had also increased, so he didn't care much about it.
In addition, the newly acquired King of Shadows talent, which seems to be the permanently activated version of Shadow Shelter, except for the two extra skills attached, all the buffs after the activation of other Shadow Shelter are retained, and even when he is in an absolutely dark environment, even the recovery ability of all aspects of the body will be greatly increased, and the effect of this accelerated recovery will become stronger and stronger over time. Basically, as long as you can find an absolutely dark environment, except for the severed limbs that cannot be reborn, even if you are fatally injured, you will probably recover completely within a day!
Correspondingly, this stronger skill has not only benefited him, but like the after-effects of the activation of the Blade Roar, this powerful passive talent is also flawed.
When he focused his attention on the King of Shadows talent in the stats panel, there was an additional description of the various buffs:
"Because you have gained the approval of the shadows, the light will hate and spit on you. In the future, when you are in the sun, as the duration increases, your physical condition will decrease slightly, your physical exertion will be faster, and your mental concentration will be less difficult. When you are injured, if you can't find a space with no light or glimmer of light to recuperate in time, your injuries will not heal naturally, but will deteriorate faster over time!"
The blessing of darkness, the banishment of light, the disadvantages and advantages of this skill are equally obvious, after all, day and night always alternate. Fortunately, this didn't make him become like a vampire, and he just saw the light and die. And the skill only requires darkness, not night, and there is an essential difference between the two!
Ling Qi shook his head, and then looked at the ice crystal skeleton that was like a wooden pestle beside the bed.
The skeleton is nearly a head taller than a normal skeleton, and its skeleton is thicker, giving it a sense of toughness and strength. The fine cracks that appeared on the surface of the bone before, as if they had been healed by that being, now seem to have a glass-like sense of transparency, making people suspect that they can see the other side directly from this side of the bone, but of course this is just an illusion.
Compared to the previous ice crystal water blue, the skeleton has now turned a deep azure blue, some heavy blue black, as if a pure blue gem has been overshadowed.
And the mysterious voice did not give the slightest hint of its appearance at all!
However, when Ling Qi shifted his gaze to the Ice Crystal Skeleton and tried to get a deeper understanding of it, a list of attributes popped up as the purple flames in its eye sockets pulsed.
"The minion panel opens, and the specific properties are as follows. ”
"Title: Guardian of Ice. Race: Necromancy. Age: n/a. Height: 177cm. Weight: 38kg. Status/Time Remaining: n/a. Friendliness: n/a. ”
"Basic attributes: Strength (15), Agility (18), Constitution (16), Intelligence (6), Spirit (12), Perception (16), Charisma (8), Will (21). ”
Note: The average of all attributes of normal adult male humans in the chosen plane's plane is 10, and luck is a hidden attribute, which is unknown for the time being. ”
"Basic skills: Intermediate swordsmanship, intermediate archery, intermediate sports, intermediate acrobatics. ”
"Special Skills: Ice Slash (Level 2), Ice Arrow (Level 2), Lethal Shot (Level 2), Rapid Fire (Level 1). ”
"Racial Talents: Immune to Fear, Immune to Toxins, Cold Resistance (Level 2), Winter Pardon (Level 2), Shock Undead (Inactive), Shadow Walker (Inactive). ”
Evaluation: Its attributes are far from reaching the limit, and there is still a great surplus of room for growth. Its soul is born of you, so you don't have to worry about it betraying, but when it dies, your soul will be permanently traumatized, and when you die, it will fall silent for three minutes. It has been blessed by a certain god and has gained some additional innate abilities, but unfortunately the attributes of this god do not match its origin power, and its growth limit will be suppressed to a certain extent. ”
"Evaluation: He was a great warrior during his lifetime, and he will never be resigned to the ordinary after his death. ”
Ice Guardian, this is the reward that Lucien promised to Ling Qi, but he never said that the Ice Skeleton was not actually suitable for making a Guardian, nor did he say that the souls of the Guardian and the master would be bound together, and both would be damaged.
Thankfully, while it is far from what it means to drive an orthodox mage crazy, it still has a lot of room to grow. And just like the Pain Thorn, it seems that it can be taken out of this world without any additional cost.
The Death's Door is indeed a prop that can bypass the surveillance of mysterious sounds! Unfortunately, it does not seem to be controlled by the Dark Brotherhood, and access to it is always in the hands of a god.
When Ling Qi thought about using the Death's Door further, he never thought that the Ice Guardian and the Thorn Dagger could be directly taken away, was it really just the power of the Death's Gate?
As he had considered, if a friend's friendliness reached the limit, would he become his follower?
After all, the Ice Skull was born from the split of his soul, and it is a coexistence relationship with him in the origin, which can be regarded as his doppelganger, and even as his own achievement, how can he be separated?
And this is not a product of ordinary summoning skills, but an independent life that actually exists, and its meaningless friendliness has reached its limit by default?
Pain and thorns~
After resting and recovering most of his strength, Ling Qi went to the basement.
As for the Ice Skull, it has "disappeared". In fact, it is integrated into his shadows, thanks to the long-term activation skill of "Shadow Walker", an absolute camouflage skill!
When he arrived at the door of the laboratory, he found that the laboratory had been restored to its original state, and Lucien had long since said goodbye.
On the lab table, he found a set of pure black leather armor and a letter on it.
The leather armor was the one Antoreel had worn earlier, and it was similar in style, which was standard for the Dark Brotherhood.
Of course, the leather armor in front of him is definitely much more conspicuous than the one Antorell is wearing, newer and more beautiful, and there is a sense of low-key and flamboyant.
He guessed that Antorel's leather armor must have been processed by himself, otherwise he would be not stupid to wear it with such a swagger, and someone would always recognize the uniform of the Dark Brotherhood.
The leather armor attribute is good, the suit can also increase light armor and footwork skills, and the defense is okay, but unfortunately it is the same as the elf inner armor, which is classified as a special item.
He picked up the letterhead again, and found that it had been translated by a mysterious voice, to the effect that he had officially become a "murderer" of the Dark Brotherhood, and asked him to report to the headquarters of the Shadinghull as soon as possible, and this was a document of appointment.
The "Murderer" is in the middle of the Dark Brotherhood's sequence, and his status is only slightly lower than the heads and elders of the branches, and although he is not qualified to participate in the decision-making meetings of the headquarters, he can be considered to be able to speak in the provincial branch, and Antorell is only a "murderer".
There were less than four days left before his return, and Ling Qi didn't take the appointment letter of the Dark Brotherhood to heart at all, and the distance between Shadinhel and Kolol was as far as two imperial capitals, even if he rode a BMW for thousands of miles, rain or shine, it would take six or seven days.
What's more, even with his current strength, he basically doesn't have to worry about taking the big road, but many dangerous forbidden areas are still not easy to break through, not to mention legendary creatures such as hydra, even if he is a minotaur, he can win at most alone, and he has to rely on the Ice Guardian to contain it!
When it comes to the Ice Guardian, I have to say that although its skills seem to be not as rich as those of ordinary archery masters, they are definitely practical. The Winter Pardon alone can shake off someone's same type of flame for several streets, and it can even be used as an area-of-effect damage skill.
In short, Ling Qi, whose strength has increased greatly, has no intention of asking for trouble at all, in fact, even if he is given a flying mount now, he will not rush to the Dark Brotherhood with his eyes, even with his greedy nature, he feels that the benefits have been enough, and if he fishes again, he will be in trouble.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to complete a certain inheritance mission as soon as possible, and then end this journey to see that mysterious reincarnation space and welcome the magnificent future.
