Chapter 397: The Demon King's Conspiracy
Yi Wen said with a miserable face: "But, how can you use that kind of powerful spell instantly? ”
"Didn't you also cast a super powerful spell in an instant?" Su Su shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly, "Even you can instantly use legendary-level spells, why can't I?" ”
"I, I have the Ice Country Scepter to help cast spells, and I burned the divine bloodline, and the price I paid ......" Speaking of this, her voice suddenly paused, and a touching look suddenly flashed in her originally gray eyes, and a touch of excitement appeared on her face: "I know, you must have paid a lot of price for that spell instantly!" ”
She became excited, and the corners of her mouth even flashed a shallow smile: "It's impossible to instantly send that kind of Cheng dù's spell without paying any price!" Destroy the Demon King, although I couldn't kill you, but ...... I can make you pay the price, I can weaken your power, my goal has been achieved! ”
"......" Su Su blinked speechlessly, "Your imagination, can you not be so rich?" Also the cost...... Forget it, there's no need to talk more about stupid people like you, you can die. With that, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Yiwen, and a gray ray burst out from her fingertips, instantly hitting Yiwen.
Ewen didn't react and turned into a lifelike stone statue of a beauty in the blink of an eye!
After Yi Wen petrified, the ice crystal guillotine that was suppressing Li Qing disappeared in an instant. The pressure above suddenly dissipated, and Li Qing, who was trying his best to stand hard, suddenly stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.
He stood firm and looked at Su Su for the first time, but saw Su Su waving at him with a smile. A hundred meters away from Su Su's side, there was a statue of a woman with a satisfied smile on her face.
"That's the Ice Warlock?" Li Qing took a big stride, walked to Su Su's side, sat on the ground, and looked down at Su Su riding on the unicorn.
"It's this woman! She's very powerful, but people are even more powerful, and she can be done with one move! Su Su raised his little face and smiled sweetly at Li Qing.
Li Qing still maintained a huge figure of twelve meters tall at this time, and even if he sat on the ground, Su Su, who was riding a lone beast, still had to raise his head to see his face - with Su Su's powerful spell casting ability, the super transformation technique she blessed Li Qing would last for at least four hours if she didn't take the initiative to cancel.
Such a large body size certainly made Li Qing's destructive power increase several times with his size, but a huge body is also a huge target, and it is not beneficial in all cases. For a high-level mage, with such a large size as Li Qing, it is not too easy to deal with, a quagmire technique can trap him, and then turn mud into stone to fix him, and then he can happily shoot live targets.
And although the transformation of the Nightmare Demon Body is also very large, Li Qing in the Nightmare Demon Body state has a legendary level in strength, physique, and agility, and the spell resistance is also ridiculously high, unless it is a legendary mage, it is impossible for ordinary high-level mages to capture his figure. It is also difficult for spells cast to take effect on him.
So under normal circumstances, Su Su would not have made him so big. It has to be the situation of dealing with multiple giant monsters just now that Li Qing will also become a giant.
"My Susu is the most powerful." Li Qing stretched out a huge finger, rubbed it lightly on Su Su's head, and said, "Did you consume a lot of strength when you killed her?" ”
When he said this, Li Qing's expression was slightly depressed.
His original intention was to let Su Su cast as few spells as possible, or even no spells, before reaching the core of the half-plane, in order to retain his strength. However, it now seems that his idea was too wishful thinking.
In the face of high-level spellcasters, Li Qing, who is a combat officer, is too constrained.
The caster's various methods and powerful spell destructive power are not at all something that ordinary combat positions can compete with.
Even if Li Qing is a strange person in the battle position, a black knight who destroys the Miè Demon King, on the premise of not using the Nightmare Transformation, it is basically impossible for him to defeat a spellcaster of the same level as him before he reaches the legendary realm. Not to mention a spellcaster of a higher level than him.
If you want Su Su to keep her strength, with his current strength, it is far from enough.
As if sensing Li Qing's depression, Su Su smiled and comforted: "Knight, you have done a good job!" Since we entered the half-plane, along the way, we have encountered not a single weak enemy. You've saved me a lot of strength by charging all the way. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to walk so easily. ”
She stretched out her little hand, rubbed Li Qing's arm, and chuckled: "Now, although you are not an opponent of a high-level spellcaster, once you advance to a Nightmare Knight, a legendary mage or even a demigod will not be your opponent!" In fact, even now, as long as you transform into a Nightmare Knight, the average high-level mage is just a chicken and a dog in front of you. ”
Li Qing smiled, "The Nightmare Demon Body is only invincible for five minutes, so I don't dare to use it casually." At critical moments, well, for example, when we can't win, I have to transform and carry you away. ”
said so, but after Su Su's comfort, the depression in his heart was gone. I just want to improve my strength as soon as possible and advance to a real Nightmare Knight. At that time, he will be able to smile at the caster.
As soon as he thought of improving his strength, Li Qing stood up full of enthusiasm and said, "I'll go and smash that stone statue." ”
People who have been turned into stone statues by petrification do not die anytime soon. As long as the stone statue is not damaged, the petrified creatures can survive for a long time. And as long as the petrification is removed before the real death, the person can be saved, but he will be seriously injured.
Therefore, Li Qing wanted to go over and smash the stone statue now, so as not to leave the enemy a chance to dispel the petrification and rescue the sorceress, and secondly, he could also draw considerable energy from it.
The sorceress was a spellcaster of a higher rank than him, a descendant of the true god, and a soul of extremely high quality. If he could devour and plunder her soul energy with darkness, I believe that he could make Li Qing's attributes, which were already difficult to improve, a small bit.
"Don't." When Li Qingzheng was gearing up to destroy the flowers with his hot hands, Su Su suddenly stopped him, "Don't smash her." ”
Su Su met Li Qing's inquiring eyes and smiled mysteriously: "I petrified her, but I didn't want to leave it for you!" It's useless to keep her! ”
"Useful?" Li Qing was puzzled: "You want to recruit her?" ”
"No, no, no, don't forget that she is a godborn, and her ancestral god is my enemy. It is impossible for her to surrender to me against the will of her ancestors. Su Su smiled mysteriously: "Keep her, I have another use." Let's go, knight, let's move on. ”
"Go ahead?" Li Qing touched his scalp thoughtfully, looked at the stone statue of the beautiful woman again, nodded and didn't ask any more, and continued to move forward with Su Su.
Soon, the figures of the two and the three unicorns disappeared into this ice and snow world. Silence reigned between heaven and earth, except for the whistling of the wind and the rustling of snow as it fell.
Half-plane core, top of the White Tower.
The white-robed old man and the middle-aged man in plate armor looked at the scene in the crystal ball with an ugly face, and his eyes were focused on the stone statue of the beautiful woman that had been covered with a thin layer of snow, and he did not move away for a long time.
The black-robed man's entire face was hidden under the black hood, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and I didn't know if he was as heartbroken as the white-robed old man and the middle-aged man in plate armor, or if he was gloating.
After a long silence, the middle-aged man in the plate armor said with difficulty: "Before us, we should have done our best to stop Yiwen." ”
The white-robed old man sighed heavily: "Yiwen's personality is very stubborn, once a decision is made, no one can change her determination unless Her Royal Highness the Ice Queen personally sends down an oracle. ”
"It's a pity that ......," the middle-aged man said heavily, "Miss Yiwen's sacrifice didn't let us see the details of the destruction of the Miè Demon King. We don't even know what the Demon King has done......"
The Demon King can shield a qiē surveillance, and she herself and the thirty meters around her body are displayed on the crystal ball, which is just a pitch-black spot. Not only can't you see its image, but you can't even hear its voice.
Even when the black knight who destroys the Miè Demon King enters within thirty meters of the Miè Demon King, he will get out of the surveillance. Fortunately, when the Black Knight fought before, the Demon King would generally retreat to a hundred meters away, so that the people in the tower could find out the details of the Black Knight from the crystal ball.
As for the Demon King himself, they had received very little information. It wasn't until Ewen died that they deduced a little bit of information from what happened to Ewen.
"Now we already know that the Demon King has restored quite a powerful spell casting ability. At least, Miss Ewen was far from her opponent. As for what kind of Cheng dù ...... the Demon King of Destruction Miè has recovered?"
The white-robed old man shook his head: "We still don't know. And compared to that bit of information, Miss Yiwen's sacrifice is really not worth it......"
Just as he said this, the black-robed man who had been quiet suddenly sighed and said, "You'd better take a closer look at the crystal ball, Miss Yiwen's situation doesn't seem to be as bad as we imagined." ”
"Isn't that bad enough?" The middle-aged man in the plate armor frowned, and a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "Miss Yiwen has been petrified by the ruined Demon King!" And the spell that destroys the Miè Demon King, almost no one can lift it! ”
Petrification does have a chance to be saved, but it depends on who casts it.
Generally speaking, petrification spells cast by one high-level mage are basically difficult to remove from other high-level mages. Unless you are a master with a particularly skillful technique, or a caster with a higher caster level, you will have a chance to dismiss it. The petrification spells cast by ordinary high-level mages are so difficult to unravel, let alone destroy the spells of the Miè Demon King.
It is said that in the past god war, there was a true god with weak divine power, and his true body was destroyed, and the demon king turned into a stone statue with a petrification ray, and even the true god with strong divine power could not lift it.
Later, the petrified true god was unable to respond to the believers for a long time, and the believers were gradually lost, and the faith gradually dissipated, and finally it really fell.
Even the gods can't help the spell of destroying the Miè Demon King, which shows how powerful the mana of the Miè Demon King should be.
Although the Demon King is no longer as terrifying as before, what she is petrifying now is not a true god, but just a high-level warlock. What's more, among the ten chasers from the other world, the strongest spell-casting ability is only the white-robed old man, the twentieth level great magician Anas.
And Anas obviously doesn't have the ability to undo the spell that destroys the Miè Demon King. Even if he has the ability to dismantle, it is impossible to expend his strength in the current situation and rescue Yiwen. Because disarming magic also consumes power.
Unless he can repel or even destroy the Demon King, Anas will never expend a trace of strength before fighting the Demon King.
Therefore, in the eyes of the middle-aged plate armor, the petrified Yiwen is actually dead, and there is almost no hope of being rescued.
"Miss Ewen is already in this situation now, do you still want to say cool things, Master Gale?" The middle-aged man in plate armor looked at the black-robed man angrily: "Don't forget, it was because of your dispute with Miss Yiwen that she went alone to test the destruction of the Miè Demon King!" It can be said that you are the murderer who indirectly killed Miss Ewen! ”
"Am I the murderer?" The black-robed man clicked and smiled, "Okay, even if I'm the murderer." But when Ewen went out, you didn't stop her resolutely, did you? ”
"That's because Miss Ewen has a stubborn personality......"
"Stubborn? Ridiculous, just because she is stubborn, did you give up persuasion? The black-robed man said gloomily: "I don't think so. It seems to me that you also had the idea of letting Miss Yiwen test it at that time, right? The Demon King can't be monitored, and the general troops can't help the Demon King, and it's even difficult to get through the level of the Black Knight, so you have the idea of letting Miss Yiwen test it, maybe you can get some information, right? If I'm a murderer, then what are you? ”
"Nonsense!" The middle-aged man in the plate armor roared angrily, and his eyes were about to erupt with anger - as for his anger, it was because of the anger of being slandered, but because of the weakness of the heart that was said to be in the sore spot, it is not known.
"Don't fight." Just as the middle-aged man in plate armor was so angry that he almost couldn't help but draw his sword to duel with the black-robed man, the white-robed old man who had been staring at the crystal ball spoke: "Gail is right, Yiwen's situation doesn't seem to be as bad as we think. ”
"What?" Hearing the white-robed old man say the same, the middle-aged man in the plate armor was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his gaze and looked at the crystal ball. Under closer inspection, he suddenly found that the stone statue of the beautiful woman, which had been covered with a thin layer of snow, seemed to have a lighter gray and simple stone color, and there was even a faint hint of flesh color in some parts.
"This is ......" The middle-aged man of the plate armor widened his eyes in disbelief: "Petrification lifted?" ”
In the empty world of ice and snow.
The stone statue of the beautiful woman standing in the wind and snow suddenly clicked and moved, and pieces of thin stone skin peeled off from the stone statue, turned into stone powder, and dissipated into the air.
Petrifaction...... It's automatically lifted!
Ahem, ahem! In the violent cough, Ewen fell to her knees with her hands on the ground, and let out a heart-rending cough. She coughed her cheeks flushed, and a few small cyan veins protruded on her forehead, until she coughed up a lump of blood, and then she gasped and stopped coughing.
After gasping for a while, she looked at her hands in disbelief, surprise and joy, and said in a trembling voice: "I, still alive?" Me, survived? ”
Speaking of this, tears of surprise involuntarily flowed from her eyes. In addition to the surprise, she was suddenly surprised: "No, I fell into the petrification technique of destroying the miè demon king, and no one lifted the petrification for me, how could I come back to life?" Could it be a conspiracy to destroy the Miè Demon King? ”
She was just about to check her body to see if there was any damage to the Demon King, but after a hasty examination, nothing abnormal was detected.
She was not at ease, so she carefully checked it again, and even meditated a little, and examined her spiritual world, but still did not find anything abnormal.
"What's going on? Why is this happening? She frowned and muttered to herself, "Destroying the magic of the Miè Demon King will also be powerless?" Do you say ......"
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clenched her hands hard: "Could it be that when the Demon King destroyed the Miè Demon King instantaneously sent that spell called the Galactic Starburst, he really paid a great price?" So that this petrification technique is not powerful enough? ”
The more she thought about it, the more justified she felt, and her eyes couldn't help but bloom with a dazzling look: "I see, I just said that the spell of destroying the Miè Demon King can't be instantaneous at no cost...... She must have been hit by the backlash, and the power of her later spells decreased! ”
As for why the Demon King of Destruction Miè left her stone statue and why he didn't order the Black Knight to destroy her, Yi Wen also had thoughts in her heart: "The Demon King of Destroying Miè is too confident and too proud, and he doesn't believe that her spells will be weakened and automatically lifted." She also despises me too much, as a descendant of the Ice Queen, I have the blood of a god in my veins, and my magic resistance is far greater than that of ordinary warlocks...... She didn't take into account the spell resistance from my bloodline, and with her pride and conceit, she gave me a chance! ”
Yi Wen was sure that her survival was due to the arrogance of the Demon King and her own luck, and she was in a great mood for a while: "Although I was defeated by the Demon King of Destroying Miè, I also tested some of her details!" If I can't recover, then the information won't work. Now that I'm alive, it's no longer a secret to destroy the information that the Demon King exposed in front of me! With this part of the information, especially the information that destroyed the Miè Demon King's instantaneous spell and paid a huge price...... We have a chance to defeat her, or even destroy her completely! ”
As soon as she thought of this, Yi Wen couldn't care about the heavy injuries and her weak body, so she stood up strongly, took out a teleportation scroll and tore it open, and instantly teleported back to the White Tower.
"Found it!" At the moment when Yi Wen teleported back to the White Tower, Su Su, who had already walked out of the ice and snow with Li Qing and came to a canyon, a scheming smile quietly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"What did you find?" Li Qing, who still maintained his giant form and walked like a steamroller, asked curiously when he heard this.
Su Su smiled triumphantly: "I've found the core of this half-plane!" ”
Li Qing's heart moved, and he remembered the ice and snow warlock that Su Su deliberately left: "How did you find it?" Could it be that the sorceress of Tong Guò? ”
"Yes, I used her to lock the position of the core of the half-plane." Su Su smiled proudly, reached out and touched his face, and said very narcissistically: "Oh, people are so smart and powerful!" With a little trickery, you've found the enemy's den! ”
"Huh!" Li Qing laughed dryly, did not say anything to echo, so as not to breed Su Su's narcissism, and asked, "Then what should we do now?" Smash the Yellow Dragon and hit the core? ”
