Chapter 196: The Calamity Monarch, the Root of Chaos
(Read the full text without pop-ups)
Li Qing's primary charge must be locked onto a target before it can be launched. [Chinese.com. The Starters]
And that target is only a moving object, whether it is a human or an animal, a living thing or a dead soul, a car or a carriage...... Even a caterpillar can be targeted as a primary charge.
In the sound of the wind, Li Qing dragged a long afterimage, instantly rushed out of the valley, crashed into the bushes, and majestically knocked the caterpillar that was locked by him into meat sauce.
Well, using the skill of primary charge to kill a caterpillar with a majestic momentum does sound a bit nonsense.
However, Li Qing's main purpose in doing this was to leave the valley with the "Calamity Scepter" as quickly as possible, away from the huge monster that was half human, half tentacle monster.
The giant tentacle monster, as funny as it looked, was simply multiple schizophrenia. I don't know if it's because of the failure of the spell casting, the magic of the rampage has caused its brain to be impacted, resulting in brain damage. But whether it's funny or not, it's definitely not to be underestimated. Just by looking at the volume, you can see how powerful that monster is.
Not to mention the strange abilities of those messy heads on those dozens of tentacles.
Many of the abilities of those heads are not directly used to attack. They are withering, weary, heavy, weak, lethargic...... and so on.
That kind of curse is quite troublesome, and many of them are beyond the power of the blood marrow energy. Even the powerful resistance brought by Li Qing's Black Knight talent could not exempt him from all curses.
Once the giant tentacle monster unifies its mind and makes a move against Li Qing, then the consequences will be quite serious. Not to mention anything else, those heads that are dedicated to casting curses, a few rounds of curses brushed on Li Qing's body, Li Qing is afraid that he will be so weak that he can't even hold the mace.
In fact, whether it was the current giant half-human and half-tentacle monster form, or the previous black-robed human form, Li Qing was not an opponent.
The reason why he was able to force the black-robed man back to his original form was because the black-robed man had to concentrate on maintaining the spell casting, except for passive defense, he couldn't even move a little, and could only be hit by Li Qing as a target.
However, Li Qing's extraordinary ability was full of power, which successfully interrupted its casting, causing it to suffer a serious backlash.
If the situation were changed, Li Qing would definitely have no chance to force the black-robed man to show his original form, and he might even be beaten away by the black-robed man's powerful spell-casting ability.
Now that the black-robed man has shown this ghost-level original form, he can know with his toes that fighting the giant tentacle monster is definitely not a wise choice.
Now that he has successfully obtained the Calamity Scepter, Li Qing must of course take advantage of the fact that there is still a large amount of blood marrow energy deposited in his body, which can instantly replenish his physical strength, and he will not hesitate to use the primary charge to escape.
After a charge smashed the caterpillar, Li Qing instantly locked on an ant crawling on a branch of a small tree thirty meters away and launched a primary charge. In this way, he targeted all kinds of insects and small animals, launched a series of primary charges, and smashed all obstacles along the way, and soon rushed out of the valley and into the mountains and forests in a flash.
……
"That terrible nightmare knight...... Let's go? ”
After Li Qing left, after almost ten minutes, the giant tentacle monster that kept talking to himself seemed to have just reacted, and said in a daze: "Why did he leave like that?" Why didn't you kill me? ”
Then it laughed again, "Great, I scared a Nightmare Rider away!" Hahaha...... Today is really my lucky day! Hey, if he knew that I failed to cast a spell and was severely backlashed, he couldn't cast a spell, and he could only rely on his tentacles to release spells, I wonder if he would be angry? Although I am also very good at hand-to-hand combat...... But hand-to-hand combat with Nightmare Knight? Then I'm really sorry! ”
Magic is different from quasi-spells, where magic is an ability that is mastered through study and research, while quasi-spells are innate talents, like superpowers, which cannot be learned, and can only be obtained from blood.
This giant tentacle monster failed to cast a spell and suffered a backlash, severely damaged mentally, and temporarily lost its ability to cast spells. But its tentacles can still continue to cast spell-like spells. It's just that the power of those spells is too weak in the eyes of the tentacle monster itself. It is simply impossible to pose a threat to one of the "Nightmare Knights".
That's right, this giant tentacle monster seriously misestimated Li Qing's strength and regarded him as a real nightmare knight. In fact, even if it didn't even use a spell and only fought hand-to-hand with Li Qing, Li Qing couldn't be its opponent.
No matter which plane, the larger the body, the stronger the force, this is an unbreakable truth. With the size of this giant tentacle monster, with its nimble and powerful tentacles, ordinary dragons may not be its opponents. What's more, Li Qing?
However, Li Qing's appearance is too deceptive, the black and red eyes, and the eyes that ignore everything, make the giant tentacle monster that has a shadow of the Nightmare Knight in his heart not have the slightest courage to test Li Qing's authenticity.
"Nightmare Knight...... It's all horrible monsters. I've seen a nightmare knight tear a poor demigod to shreds...... Hey, at that time, I was still the demigod's test specimen, and my strength was low, and the Nightmare Knight could shoot me to death with one finger.
"But luckily I'm low, and the Nightmare Knight doesn't even have the interest to look at me more...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to join my lord, and I wouldn't be as powerful as I am today......"
The giant tentacle monster muttered to itself, laughing nervously from time to time.
Recalling the terrible impression of the Nightmare Knight, the giant tentacle monster suddenly made a fuss and exclaimed:
"No, no, that human just now, is it really a Nightmare Knight? If it was a Nightmare Rider, how could he let me go? I'm no longer the little reptile I used to be, and I'm qualified to give Nightmare Rider a second look! Why didn't he kill me? What do you want to ......?"
At this point, it suddenly roared angrily: "No! He's not a Nightmare Rider, he's a liar! Swindler! ”
It roared as it swung dozens of tentacles and volleyed wildly. The ground around it was thrashed by those huge tentacles, and cracks erupted, and for a moment the sand and rocks flew away, and the sky was dark.
And those tentacle heads that were originally in the midst of internal strife were driven by its body to suspend the infighting, and let out angry roars of different tones in unison, helping him to vent his anger.
There was a rush for no reason, and this monster, which seemed to be schizophrenic and confused, suddenly stopped venting again, and said to himself: "But...... Saying he's not a Nightmare Rider doesn't quite look like it. When he interrupted me to cast a spell, he unleashed a total of nineteen extraordinary abilities, and the power of each blow was no lower than that of a fifth-level magic. While fighting my heavily armored living corpse, I unleashed more than a dozen powerful supernatural abilities. When I interrupted one of my tentacles, it was a dozen times of transcendent ability.
"As a combat officer, with such a small size, he wantonly squandered his powerful extraordinary abilities, and launched them dozens of times in a short period of time...... What other class can do it than Nightmare Knight? But...... If he wasn't a Nightmare Knight, I'd just let him go...... Let him take away the Scepter of Calamity, if my lord knows the truth......"
Speaking of this, the corners of the monster's eyes twitched, and large beads of sweat fell from the smooth head.
In a cold sweat, the giant tentacle monster slapped its hands and said categorically: "No, you must take back the Calamity Scepter!" ”
As soon as it finished speaking, it was about to make a move, when an invisible thought suddenly descended from the sky above the valley and enveloped the entire valley.
The invisible thought came from the depths of an unknown time and space, and it came extremely suddenly. After its arrival, it instantly crushed the giant tentacle monster to its stomach. The dozens of heads on its tentacles that were fighting with each other were all quiet at this moment, all trembling incessantly, and their foreheads touched the ground as a sign of obedience.
The humanoid upper body of the monster is also five-body thrown to the ground, and its forehead is tightly pressed against the ground. But even though its face was facing the ground, it was still full of piety and deference. The eyes that were originally chaotic and drowsy suddenly regained their clarity, and their eyes revealed humility and humility.
The invisible thought that came from nowhere, quietly shrouded the giant tentacle monster, and gave instructions to it purely with its mind. The giant tentacle monster was silent, only respectfully listening. No matter what instructions the mind gave it, it accepted it without any resistance.
A few minutes later, the invisible thought vanished abruptly, just as it had come.
And after the invisible mind disappeared, the giant tentacle monster was still lying on the ground with its five bodies, motionless.
It wasn't until ten minutes after the disappearance of the invisible mind that the monster cried out, "My lord, you are the sovereign of calamity, you are the source of chaos, you are the twilight of the gods, you are the end of order." Your humblest servant fears you forever, and may your word spread across the multiverse until the universe is destroyed! ”
After reciting the prayer, the giant tentacle monster bowed nine times with a humble face and reverence before slowly standing up.
A strange smile hung on the corner of its mouth, and it said to itself: "I thought that the spell had failed, and I couldn't summon my lord's power to come, but I didn't expect it...... Hey, hey, hey, it's really my lucky day! The most important thing is that this time I accidentally hit and let that guy take the Calamity Scepter, which was actually done right...... Hey, hey, hey...... Try the new power that our Lord has given you......"
The giant tentacle monster changed its previous state of neurotic confusion and chanted a spell with clarity. It was already unable to cast spells, but in just a few minutes after the invisible intention came, it had regained its ability to cast spells!
With the sound of the incantation, a green mist emerged from the giant tentacle monster, enveloping it. After a few minutes, the chanting died down and the green mist gradually dissipated. After the green mist cleared, the giant tentacle monster was gone, and only a two-meter-tall, muscular, burly, bald, black-skinned man remained.
The dark-skinned man looked very much like the black people on the earth, but his facial features were very different from those of the blacks, but they were very similar to the whites of Europe and the United States.
He stood in place for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, groped around on himself, and laughed: "It's good, I can finally become a real human form, and I don't have to hide in the black robe all day long, covering myself with fog......"
This giant tentacle monster was originally a test product of a certain demigod, a stitching monster that the demigod mixed together with a variety of strange bloodlines. It comes from the human brain, giving it an almost instinctive attachment to the human form.
Sadly, due to its bloodline, although it is strong, it cannot transform into a human form with Transfiguration. Not even for a short moment. Its black-robed figure was actually just a magic to shrink its size, otherwise it wouldn't have to cover its body with a black robe, and it would still be shrouded in a layer of fog under the black robe.
Now it's different. Because of its accidental success, its owner actually took the initiative to expend his strength after it failed to cast a spell, descended his will, gave it instructions at the same time, and gave it the reward it coveted.
The reward is a blessing that will allow it to take on a true human form. But the power of this blessing is more than that.
I saw that the dark-skinned man looked at his hands, and suddenly his hands became claws and grabbed forward.
With his grasp, his ten fingers suddenly extended out of the arcane and became ten tentacles. Each tentacle is only the thickness of a small arm, but it is more flexible and faster. The skulls at the top of each tentacle have shrunk a lot, but the spell-like ability of each skull is a little stronger than before!
The dark-skinned man smiled, and as soon as his thoughts moved, his ten toes turned into ten tentacles. Then in each of the vertebrae on his back, as well as on the tail vertebrae, a tentacle also popped out!
Dozens of tentacles circled up and down around the dark-skinned man, making all sorts of nimble movements in the air. What surprised the dark-skinned man even more was that those shrunken heads actually stopped fighting and listened to his instructions quietly.
"The power of my lord is incredible! In the past, if you wanted to use the power of your tentacles, you had to change back to your original form. Now in human form, you can even exert the power of tentacles! Those damn heads have finally come down honestly! Praise be to you, great Lord, and your humblest servants who fear you forever! ”
After testing his new abilities and praising his master loudly, the dark-skinned man withdrew his tentacles, returned to his normal human form, looked in the direction of Li Qing's departure, and muttered, "Next, it's time to act according to the Lord's instructions......"
As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
