On the way back from the altar cave, Li Qing pondered the use of the death artifact all the way.

But until he got close to the exit, he couldn't figure out why.

"The Queen of Darkness doesn't leave a death artifact behind for no reason, but how do you use it?"

Just when Li Qing was thinking hard, his heart suddenly beat violently, and a brilliant energy spread out from his heart, permeating his whole body, immersing every cell in his body, transforming and strengthening his body from the most subtle level.

"This is ......" Li Qing covered the heart of the shock, but saw that between his fingers, a golden light as bright as sunlight overflowed: "Divine brilliance? ”

Seeing the divine brilliance overflowing from his heart, Li Qing roughly guessed what had changed in him.

In the artifact illusion, the Dark Queen stripped the demigod of the mummy of divinity and divided it into two parts, one part she absorbed herself, and the other part was given to Li Qing.

Li Qing, who had absorbed that part of the divinity at that time, did not feel any special change in himself. At that time, he still thought that his soul level was only a mortal level, and even if he had the talent of devouring darkness, he would not be able to digest and absorb divinity.

It was only then that he understood that even divinity, the darkness devouring talent, could digest and absorb it.

It's just that the energy of divinity is relatively high-end after all, and all divinity must have the residual consciousness of the original owner of zài divinity. If it is absorbed without purification, it will be affected by the residual original consciousness in it. Schizophrenia is light, the strictest zhòng, and it is more likely to be erased by the original owner's consciousness and resurrect the soul through the corpse.

Therefore, even if the power of the talent is devoured by darkness, it will take a long time to purify and purify the divinity, and finally digest it into pure energy, and then feed back to one's own body to strengthen the ability.

That's why, until now, Li Qing has been strengthened after absorbing divinity.

And just when Li Qing was fully strengthened, the voice of the Queen of Darkness suddenly sounded in his mind.

The queen did not seem to speak to him, but was chanting a mysterious incantation. Li Qing couldn't understand a word of that spell, and could only feel that it was full of great power like Mo Keming.

As the chanting progressed, the death artifact in Li Qing's palm, which had not moved all along, suddenly bloomed with pure golden light. Then I saw the bright stars spilling out of the death artifact and submerging into Li Qing's palm.

After that, Li Qing felt that he had some kind of mysterious connection with the death artifact......

Wendy stared at Yiqiē in front of her in a daze, feeling at a loss.

At this moment, Li Qing in her eyes exuded a brilliant golden glow all over her body, and there was an invisible and heavy majesty that spread from his body, making her feel like she was worshipping him.

"What's going on?" Wendy trembled and wanted to retreat to avoid the inexplicable aura that made her feel like surrender and worship, but her legs and feet were paralyzed and she couldn't help herself.

She swallowed and muttered, "Artifact...... The artifact also glows in his hand! Oh my god, Tony he won't be...... Became a god, right? Suddenly I wanted to bow down to him...... Is this the influence of Kamui? What to do? What should I do? People don't want to bow down to Tony, if there is really such a sense of distance between gods and mortals, how can they interact with him in the future! ”

The young magician's mind was in turmoil.

The mysterious aura made her involuntarily have the idea of surrendering and worshiping, but the unwillingness in her heart made her resist this almost instinctive throbbing, even if her delicate body trembled violently and sweated like rain, she insisted on never bowing.

"Just kidding, if you really worship it, there will be a world of difference between God and Tony in the future! In that case, what qualifications do I have......"

After struggling to support it for a while, when it was about to be unable to support it, the bright golden light on Li Qing's body finally gradually dissipated, and the mysterious and majestic aura gradually converged.

As if the boulder pressing on the top suddenly retreated, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath with her tongue stuck out without a ladylike image.

"Uh, Wendy, what's wrong with you?" Li Qing looked at Wendy, who seemed to have run a marathon and was so tired that he was alive, blinked inexplicably and asked, "Why are you suddenly tired like this?" ”

"You, you're still embarrassed to ask me?" Wendy rolled her eyes angrily, and said in a snort, "No, it's all, you're harmed?" ”

"What did I do?" The second monk Li Qingzhang was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?" ”

“…… Forget it, it's too lazy to say. Wendy shook her head helplessly and stretched out her little hand to Li Qing: "Na, pull me." ”

"Okay." Li Qing vaguely guessed that Wendy's state might be related to his movements when he absorbed divinity and established contact with the death artifact, so he smiled and grabbed Wendy's soft little hand, pulled her up, and asked, "Do you need me to carry you?" ”

"Of course you have to carry it! People are now as weak as slimes, how can they have the strength to walk? ”

So Li Qing took Wendy on his back and continued to walk towards the exit.

"Where are we going now?"

"Go find Ewen and them. I already know where they are. ”

"Do you already know where they are? Hmm, it's because of the artifact of death? ”

"Clever. One of the functions of the Death Artifact is that it can expand and spread my perception a hundredfold or a thousand times like a signal amplifier, and it is not engulfed and shielded by the Devouring Black Mist. Through the death artifact, I've found Ewen where they are. ”

"What about the puppets in the black mist? Don't forget, we were driven into the cave by a giant golem that is probably blocking the exit. ”

"Puppets are even less of a problem. Although I can't control those puppets with the death artifact, if I hold the death artifact, the puppet in the black fog, I won't attack us anymore. So, as long as we're in the Devouring Black Mist, we're absolutely safe. ”

"What about the lich out there and its legions of the undead? Can they be deterred with a death artifact? ”

"The Death Artifact can't deter the lichs and undead who drive us into the Rift. I'm afraid the artifact of death is exactly what the lich is determined to get, and when we get out, we will inevitably fight the lich and its men. ”

"Lichs are also undead, so they should be restrained by the Death Artifact, right?"

"Well, it's a pity that I can only use the basic functions of the Death Artifact, and I can't use it to defeat the Lich."

The conditions for mortals to use artifacts are very harsh. Li Qingneng established a connection with the Death Artifact, all thanks to the help of the Dark Queen. The ability to use some of the basic functions of the death artifact is also due to the digestion of some of the divinity derived from the ancient god of death.

But the little divinity he got from the demigod mummy was only enough for him to activate the death artifact with a superficial ability. For example, it is used to enhance perception and find people in the black fog of devouring demons. Another example is to deter the guardian puppets in the black fog, so that the puppets will no longer attack them.

In addition to these two points, the death artifact was in Li Qing's hand, and there was only one last function left - as an energy source, it was used to activate the magic array. For example, a space magic array that can teleport across planes.

In Li Qing's opinion, having this last function already makes him very happy. Because it means that he finally has a chance to go home.

"Can't you defeat a lich with a death artifact?" Wendy nervous: "So what to do?" As you said, the Lich is determined to get the Death Artifact, and it must be waiting outside for us to go out with the artifact...... That's a lich, a legendary spellcaster at the very least, and a real army of the undead......"

"Don't worry." Li Qing smiled and said, "Now I am even more powerful than before I entered the Artifact Illusion Realm. With me, what is that lich? ”

Li Qing's confident smile infected Wendy and finally put her at ease.

She wrapped her hands around Li Qing's neck, leaned her slightly hot face against Li Qing's broad back, and said softly, "Well, I believe in you." Tony, you are the strongest and bravest knight, with you, I am not afraid of anything......"

Li Qing smiled, carried Wendy on his back, and strode towards the faintly visible exit ahead.

The giant puppet blocking the exit did not attack Li Qing and Wendy. Even when Li Qing jumped onto its back with Wendy on his back, and then walked down its back to the ground, it didn't react.

With the artifact of death by his side, the rift, which should have been full of dangers, could not have become safer for Li Qing. With Wendy on his back, he walked generously through the mist-filled Rift, and it didn't take long for him to find Ewen and the Thunder Prison General puppet all the way.

The location of Ewen and the Thunder Prison General's puppet is a sinkhole connected to the Rift. At the beginning, Yiwen was chased by the undead and fell into the sinkhole, falling into the range of the black fog of devouring demons, and was pulled into the illusion by the overflowing energy of the damaged death artifact.

After the two sides converged, they went straight out of the pit.

Without the Death Artifact, even with Li Qing's strength, it would be difficult to climb up from the bottom of the sinkhole, which was thousands of meters deep and had smooth and steep walls. But now with the Death Artifact, it's easy to get out.

Holding the Death Artifact, as long as you stay within 10 meters of the Death Artifact, the Demon Devouring Black Mist will not consume the mana. This way, Wendy can bless the spells on everyone. She also had five flying scrolls, each of which had more than one, so she immediately took out four scrolls and tore them open, blessed everyone, and then the three of them and one puppet left the sinkhole so easily and went to it.

Above the sinkhole, it was still in that unusually wide underground cavern. The huge rift valley is not far from the mouth of the sinkhole.

So Li Qing and his entourage were discovered by the undead without any suspense - the lich had arranged a large number of undead in this underground hollow, and there were undead eyeliners everywhere. No matter where Li Qing and the others come out, they will be discovered as soon as possible.

Therefore, almost as soon as Li Qing and the others came out, a teleported light lit up in front of Li Qing and the others, and the skull lich and a burly human figure wrapped in black robes appeared in front of Li Qing and the others in an instant.

"You've got the artifact of death." The skull lich looked at Li Qing and said very firmly: "Give me the death artifact, and I can give you a decent death." ”

"I'm sorry, the Death Artifact is my trophy, and I won't give it to you." Li Qing smiled and said, "Also, Your Excellency the Lich, we have four companions, so it should have fallen into your hands, right?" If you will give them back to us, I can also give you a dignified death. ”

As soon as he said this, the black-robed man who appeared with the lich burst out laughing. The skull lich snorted angrily and said, "Hubris! What gives you the confidence to dare to stand up against a lich! ”

Li Qing smiled, but his pupils flashed with an evil red light full of dead silence and ruin: "Hehe, Your Excellency Lich, what gave you confidence...... Dare you rebel against a true nightmare? By the way, you've heard of it...... Nightmare Rider? ”

Nightmare Knight, the advancement of the Black Knight under the command of the Demon King.

Only the Black Knight who has reached the legendary level can be called a true Nightmare Knight!
