Chapter 62: The Witch Array
The Scythe Ghosts have a certain amount of intelligence, otherwise they would not have designed to drive the Night Wolves to attack Phil and his party, but their wisdom is obviously not enough for them to detect the danger coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the scythe ghost fully stepped into the circle, the blood flowed under their ethereal feet, soaking the pattern that Phil had drawn before, and as soon as the powder met the blood, it suddenly became full, and at the same time, the blood was also disappearing rapidly, and in an instant, a breath suddenly rose from the ground!
The Scythe Ghost apparently didn't understand what was happening, and then a red light appeared on the ground, forming the pattern that Phil had drawn earlier, and the red light rose upwards, enclosing all the Scythe Ghost inside.
Only then did the scythe ghost realize that he could no longer move!
Now they were only two meters away from Phil, but that distance was a moat, and they could never cross it.
As the scythe ghost struggles as hard as he can, the scene changes again. At their feet, a patch of grass began to grow slowly and rapidly. "Slowly" and "fast" are not words that can be put together, but it is true now, these green grasses do not grow in an instant, so they seem very slow, but they are definitely very fast relative to the time the plants grow.
These green grasses are very gentle and do not harm the human body at all.
However, the Scythe Ghost found that their bodies had become unstable, which alarmed them, because nothing like this had ever happened since their birth. Don't talk about them, let's just say that the Scythe Ghost has not been in the current situation since it was studied by the wizards of the Senluo Bone Fort Academy.
The green grass slowly grew to the knee height of the sickle ghost like the water at high tide.
White buds stick out of the grass, like small balls, and then slowly open and turn into dandelions.
When all the dandelions are in bloom, the green grass will be completely white.
Then, there was a slight "thud".
All the dandelions exploded in an instant, and countless dandelion seeds exploded in the air, but they were only limited to the pattern on the ground.
These dandelion seeds emitted a faint white light, like stars in the sky, and in a moment, a cloud of starlight suddenly rose in the dark endless jungle of the night.
Dazzling, yet stunningly beautiful.
The black body of the scythe ghost in it was like an endless black night sky.
But the night sky hissed in despair when the stars lit up,
The Scythe Ghost found that the sparkling dandelion seeds could pass through their bodies without hindrance, and if they had felt it, it would have felt as painful as if they had been burned by fire. But their feelings are not too different, because they find that there is an unknown force that is robbing them of the material that exists, and their whole body is fading little by little, and the scythe ghost subconsciously struggles, but it is still useless, and their strength has almost completely disappeared after so long, and now they can't even wrestle with ordinary human children.
"Bang!" There was another crisp roar, and the starlight scattered around the endless forest, and the starlight slowly dimmed, and finally fell silent under the trees and in the bushes.
The night sky, however, vanished.
"Huh......" Phil sat down on the ground, changing the previous breeze.
Avril stood beside him, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, the scythe ghosts who easily killed almost everyone in their squad disappeared so easily?
"So, is that a witch array?" Avril recalled the content of the class and found that what Phil had just done was really similar to the witch array!
However, how could a third-class wizard apprentice who had only been enrolled for more than a year be able to arrange a witch array that could only be arranged by a first-class wizard apprentice? and successfully eliminated a full five-headed scythe ghost!
Phil smiled instead of answering, instead pulling out an orange test tube.
That's right, this is the Witch Circle. The witch array is an important branch of alchemy, which is the ability of wizards to use runes to depict magic patterns, attract free elemental magic in the air, and then use wizard abilities.
It's easy to say, but it's not so simple when it comes to implementation. Memorizing the runes alone costs a lot of time for wizard apprentices, and most of these runes are complex and very similar, and the subtle differences can't even be distinguished with the naked eye, only second-class wizard apprentices and above can be distinguished by those who have strengthened their eyesight, and only first-class wizard apprentices have the kind of control to draw them correctly.
Runes alone are so difficult, the witch array pattern is also an obstacle to the use of the witch array by the third-class apprentices, if you want to arrange the witch array pattern, you must have a profound knowledge of mathematics and geometry, and the high depth also involves space, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the third-class apprentice freshmen, not only time-consuming, but also energy-consuming, and they have used their time to learn witchcraft as a sponge, not to mention the mountain of mathematical geometry.
Finally, it is to attract the elemental magic in the air, which requires the arrayer to continuously output a large amount of magic to resonate with the free elemental magic, and the average third-class wizard apprentice will definitely absorb him if he wants to complete the witch array.
This witch array, Phil made a trick. The witch array rune is not something he can complete now, so most of the magic stones earned from selling potions are spent on it, and this problem can be solved as long as there are magic stones.
And it just so happened that Phil used to be a scholar, he was a scholar in the capital school at the age of ten, and at the age of twelve he went to the imperial capital school in the capital of the empire, plus chips, so the mathematical and geometric knowledge that plagued most third-class apprentices was not a problem at all here in Phil.
As for the magic...... Phil was also prepared. He opened the orange test tube, drank it in one gulp, and instructed Avril to use her auxiliary sorcery. As a spell sounded, Phil mixed and drank the orange rainbow potion in his stomach, and immediately felt that his dry magic power increased rapidly, and his mental power was slowly recovering.
The orange rainbow potion was naturally refined by accident this month for his own use, and Avril's auxiliary witchcraft was the auxiliary meditation.
The arrangement of this witch array is the result of Phil's time expending, and for ordinary people, it is not worth spending such time to deal with things that they don't know if they can meet again.
But Phil just did it.
Setting up the witch array is nothing to Phil, but what really hinders him is the research of this witch array.
That's right, this witch circle is not in any recorded witch circle, it was completely developed by Phil alone for the sickle ghost. If this news spreads, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of some people.
In order to develop this witch circle, Phil first had to check the information of the Scythe Ghost, in addition to the free information on the first floor, Phil also spent money to go to the second floor of the library to inquire about how the high-level wizard apprentices dealt with the Scythe Ghost.
The scythe ghost, Charlemagne, a senior in the first year of high school who took Phil on a mission, once introduced a little bit that the scythe ghost planted seeds where someone died, and then smelled the breath of the living before coming out.
Based on this trait, Phil thought of the grass he had seen in the abandoned village during his first mission.
This is the same growth property as the pampas grass.
Phil soon figured out the cause of the formation of the Scythe Ghost, which was to use a special bone to absorb the dead and condense the body, and the broken soul drove the body. The same is true of the grass that absorbs the breath of death and grows, and the broken soul grows into a dandelion, emitting a ghostly light to attract creatures to scatter its seeds to another place where someone is dying.
Phil suspected that the person who created the Scythe Ghost in the first place might have borrowed the properties of Pu Yingcao.
And that's exactly what happened.
Therefore, the sickle ghost and Pu Yingcao have the same important material composition in their bodies.
So, if Pu Yingcao not only absorbs the free dead qi and soul, but also absorbs the dead qi and soul in the body of the sickle ghost, will it be able to destroy the sickle ghost? This point comes from those high-level wizard apprentices when dealing with the sickle ghost, they usually shoot the dead qi and soul in the body of the sickle ghost, and use a container to prevent the sickle ghost from absorbing it back, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the sickle ghost.
Phil's train of thought was correct, but ordinary Pu Ying grass could not have such a strong absorption capacity. Then the only way to do this is to use the Witch Circle. When Phil studied alchemy, he learned a little about the cultivation of plant materials, and the growth period of plants is slow, so wizards generally use witchcraft arrays to let plants quickly absorb life elements and grow.
Phil used this witch array, but he changed his ability to absorb the life elements needed by ordinary plants to absorb death qi and souls.
And in the end, Phil spent a lot of time finally completing this witch formation that only worked against the Scythe Ghost.
Of course, it will also work on other creatures with death and soul traits.
"Hold on to me. Phil said one last word, and then sat cross-legged and meditated.
"Ah...... Oh yes. Avril replied.
Looking at the bloody hell around them, Avril and Phil were in the middle of the grass in the middle of this hell.
Avril suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Allen: They had been bullying Phil before, and Phil had never responded positively. But who knows, in just one night, those who were proud in the past died.
And Phil is still alive. The scythe ghosts who turned Eren into this hell on earth were also easily eliminated at the hands of Phil.
Avril couldn't be more glad she had made her choice. If......
She shuddered at the thought of the word if.
Avril stepped on the soft grass, the warm lights reflected around the campfire, the night sky was clear, the stars and trees were shadowing the wind, and she almost wanted to compose a poem. But she immediately stopped.
It was because of her addiction to the hobby of writing poetry that she could not learn even a simple witchcraft, and she could never do it again.
Avril thought that even Alan, who had worked so hard to learn witchcraft, had died, so how could she waste her time composing poetry?
Phil's instructions were also in her mind, and although she didn't know why all the threats were dead, Phil still wanted her to be on guard. But now Phil's words are similar to the laws of the ordinary world's world to her, almost catching up with the wizarding code.
Not knowing what to do, she looked up blankly.
Then, a cold light flew through her hair and shot straight at Phil!
The cold light was a white bone needle, smaller than an ordinary needle, but much sharper, and it also exuded a palpitating aura.
Just when the owner of the White Bone Needle thought that this blow was already about to cause damage.
Phil opened his eyes, a smile on his lips.
At this moment, the moment the white bone needle pierced, the starlight rose again.
