Chapter 20: Re-entry

Due to the danger of the Misty Swamp, Mark May wanted to deploy most of the Altai Camp to carry out scattered explorations - although the risk of encountering danger would increase exponentially, their progress in completing the area would increase. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mercenaries of Red Rose and Smiling Honey Sword are ready to go, but Leo does not approve of such a decision.

He wanted Neil and other powerful mercenaries to act with him, so that he could take care of him in time even if he was in danger. But this approach greatly reduces efficiency, and Mark May does not approve of such an approach.

The controversy went on for a while, and finally a plan was settled that everyone found odd.

Leo first clears the way and makes sure that there is no danger in a certain area, and then the mercenaries behind follow to explore the area and collect materials.

In doing so, she would be leaving all the danger to Leo alone, and Lindsay's expression was a little unpleasant, even if she hadn't been inside, she knew that it was a dangerous place.

"Don't worry, it's just a shadow wolf."

Leo rubbed Lindsay's head and smiled.

In the face of Leo's understatement, the faces of the mercenaries around him were a little strange, while Neil was very relaxed, in the face of that kind of unknown monster, Leo could save them, although he didn't know what the result was, but he was sure that the Wind Shadow Wolf could not pose a threat to Leo.

Could it be a fourth-level super powerhouse? Such speculation reassured him, and it was no wonder that Mark May insisted on continuing the mission.

The goal of this mission is to explore the outer area, so start by making a half-circle around the edge.

At the entrance to the Misty Swamp, Leo held a crude map compiled by scholars and mercenaries such as Neil in his hand, frowning as he deciphered it.

The Misty Swamp is roughly the following area: on the outside is a circle of swamps of various sizes, with a jungle full of dead leaves on the inside, and a new swamp with a thick poisonous barrier on the inside, where Leo and the two monsters fought, and the depths are unknown.

Of course, there is also a thin poisonous barrier outside, but that can only block ordinary people, and in terms of the physical fitness of the mercenaries, it is not a problem.

"Be careful, this is fluorescent for two."

Mark May followed behind and solemnly handed the bag to Leo, who was surrounded by a white mist, and the visibility was not much different from the previous night in the afternoon.

Leo opened the bag, the fluorescent stone inside emitted a faint light, and Mark May wanted to give Leo some more torches, but he refused.

How can the torch have fluorescent stone to use, and no matter how bad it is, he also has [Soul Suppression] as a lighting prop, if it doesn't work, let Iros add a [Moon Vision] to him.

If he encountered such a monster again, he would not leave his hand this time, and with this in mind, Leo said goodbye to Mark May behind him, leaving a triangular mark around him.

Once he's sure there's no danger in the swampy area outside, he'll send a message through the fluorescent stone in the bag, and Mark May and they can follow the marker.

"The weather seems to have changed."

As Leo deepened, Iros, who had been following his side, suddenly spoke.

Although the Moon Goddess had little magic left, she was quicker than Leo to perceive changes in her surroundings.

"The sun outside should be bright, and the fog around is bright white."

Leo paused and chuckled.

Could it be that Iros was too nervous, thinking so, the white mist began to change.

The sunlight outside the misty swamp was mostly blocked, but the light could still be felt. At this moment, Leo clearly felt the light in the fog around him, rapidly dimming.

If they could see the scenery outside, they would see that above the misty swamp, the bright blue sky was already covered with gray clouds.

The fine rain trickled down like a spider's web, and the fog on the swamp grew thicker and thicker.

In the jungle area ahead, there was a clear sound of rain, and gradually raindrops fell on his hands, and a faint thunder came from above, but when he looked up, it was still a fog that was too thick to dissolve, and more and more violent rain was revealed.

Soaked in the wet mist, a few shadows crept on.

The sound of the rain seemed to be some kind of sign, and the water surface of the swamp was filled with large and small bubbles, and the white bony hands stretched out.

Feeling the breath of the living, these skeletons and necromancers burst out of the ground one after another, and for unknown reasons, they were originally slow to move, and rushed as quickly as if they had been stimulated.

The sound of bones trampling the dirt blended into the sound of the fierce rain, and several pale figures struck Leo.

"There's the Wind Shadow Wolf next to it."

Iros looked into the shadows in the mist and whispered.

The knight's sword in his hand easily shattered the skeletons' bodies, white light flickered, their heads fell one after another, and the flames in their eye sockets were quickly extinguished.

The fluctuations in the surrounding swamp became more and more violent, and after the white humanoid skeletons were killed by Leo, some of the skeletons of the beasts crawled out of the ground and rushed towards Leo without fear of death.

Unlike the humanoid skeletons just now, the white flames in the eye sockets of these beast skeletons swelled up, and fine red lines swirled around them, intensifying their speed.

"These necromancy seem to have gone berserk."

Iros, perceiving the skeleton of the beast, spoke solemnly.

"Madness?"

He wanted to ask what was going on, but the wind whistling around him interrupted his inquiry, and Leo's eyes were cold, and he held a knight's sword in each hand, defusing the attack of the beast skeletons one by one.

Stopping them lightly, the curved knight's sword struck a little on the skull, and the necromancers fell as the skulls shattered, extinguishing the soul fire.

But in the face of more and more beast skeletons, the two knight swords in Leo's hands gradually cracked.

"Ding! Current XP: 138/1800! ”

"Tsk."

He smashed the head of a wild boar skeleton with a sword, ignored the system prompt, and looked at the broken knight's sword in his hand, a little dissatisfied.

As his strength increases, the importance of a handy weapon gradually manifests, and the lowest weapon in the [Gorgeous Purple Backpack] is also LV60, and he is still far from being used, not to mention the multiple restrictions of weapons and classes.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to prepare a package containing the knight's sword, which he carried behind him all the time.

The space ring that was originally filled with the sword of the knight of Taiyan City was shattered in the battle with the evil god, and he had no space equipment to take advantage of, which made him have a headache all the time.

There aren't many knight swords that can be used in the package, so you can save it.

In fact, to deal with these low-level necromants, he didn't need to expel them one by one with brute force, he took out the [Soul Suppression] in the [Gorgeous Purple Backpack], and the light blue light spread from the inside.

Item Name: LV15 [Soul Suppression] (inactive).

Category: Carry items (red low).

Effects: LV10 [Necromantic Bondage], LV10 [Elementary Dark Magic Mastery], LV5 [Dark Resistance Increase], LV5 [Space Storage], LV0 [Soul Imprisonment].

Due to the inactive state, except for the skill [Necromantic Enslavement], which is illuminated, all other skills are gray and cannot be used.

No matter how you say it, it is also a quasi-artifact, and it shouldn't be a problem to enslave these ordinary skeletons. With that in mind, Leo activated the skill of [Necromantic Enslavement].

The invisible ripples spread out around the [Soul Suppression], and the surrounding beast skeletons stiffened one after another, and the red soul fire in their eye sockets swayed, and a faint blue light was filled in.

A strange connection was formed between the [Soul Suppression] and these beast skeletons, and Leo, as the holder of the [Soul Suppression], clearly felt his control over these beast skeletons.

"Ding! Skill [Necromantic Servitude] has been released! ”

As the system sound sounded, the attribute panel of [Soul Town] in front of him expanded, and rows of target data were presented on the additional panel.

Skill [Necromantic Servitude], target 13/50.

LV6 [Low-level Necromantic Beast], Monster Class, Skill: LV1 [Soul Power Drain], LV2 [Dark Elemental Resistance Increase], LV0 [Bone Enhancement].

LV4 [Low-level Necromantic Beast], Monster Class, Skills: LV1 [Soul Power Drain], LV1 [Dark Elemental Resistance Increase], LV1 [Bone Enhancement].

LV5 [Low-level Necromancer], Monster Class, Skill: LV2 [Soul Power Drain], LV0 [Dark Elemental Resistance Increase].

・・・

The moment the ripples passed, these ownerless necromantic creatures were all enslaved by Leo's [Soul Suppression] without exception, but the necromantic creatures on the periphery seemed to be far more than 50, and it seemed that they had to be constantly enslaved and consumed.

Thinking so, he gave the order to kill these necromantic creatures, and the skeletons of the two sides suddenly fought together, and the bones were scattered, and the picture was tragic.

I have to say that with the help of [Soul Suppression], as long as he moves his mind, these emerging necromantic creatures are not a threat to him at all, and the efficiency of cleaning has also improved, and the dead necromancers have been sending him experience points.

"Ding! Current XP: 183/1800! ”

The shameless fighting lasted for about a great variety of times, the dark earth was covered with white bone chips and splinters, and the rain was still falling, but there was no more squirming of skeletons.

He looked down at the panel, skill [Necromantic Servitude], target 3/50.

There are still three skeletons left, but they are all devastated, so after thinking about it, it is better to dispose of them yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if they are seen by others.

"Ding! Current XP: 184/1800! ”

All the necromantic creatures were killed, and the faint black qi accompanied by the faint soul power formed a gray air flow visible to the naked eye, which submerged into the [Soul Suppression].

"You're holding the artifact of the Necronomicon Sect, it looks like it's lost most of its power, and these low-level soul powers can help it regain its strength."

Iros reminded him in time that Leo gave up his intention to stop it.

After more than three minutes of absorbing time, I don't know if it was an illusion, Leo felt that the [Soul Suppression] in his hand was a little brighter.

Item Name: LV15 [Soul Suppression] (3% Activation Progress).

Category: Carry items (red low).

Effects: LV10 [Necromantic Bondage], LV10 [Elementary Dark Magic Mastery], LV5 [Dark Resistance Increase], LV5 [Space Storage], LV0 [Soul Imprisonment].

On its stats panel, the "inactive" status turned into a progress bar, and the soul power just now restored it to 3% of its strength.

But Alina's soul is still inside, if the power of [Soul Suppression] recovers too quickly, will it have any bad effects?

He questioned Iros, who thought for a while and said, "As long as you can master its power, it stands to reason that it won't get out of control." ”

The premise of resurrecting Alina is to separate her from the item [Soul Suppression], and to achieve this, [Soul Suppression] must regain its strength.

Things were far more difficult than expected, Leo sighed, put the [Soul Suppression] in his backpack, sent a safe message through the fluorescent stone, and walked towards the withered leaf jungle ahead.

The rain that fell was all blocked out by the [Demon Guardian Spirit] released by him, forming a unique scenery.
