Chapter 19: Collision
"Explain why the Grave Demon is here? Don't say it's for carrying us people, the rich negative energy in it is not something ordinary people can bear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Hinckley said unceremoniously to Neham.
"Anyway, it's still your work, why don't you take a closer look?"
"Not interested."
"It's really cold, in fact, the main reason for this is to let you help repair the giant tomb demon. The Tomb Demon was severely damaged due to the fierce battle last time, and almost lost all abilities except for the movement function. ā
"Well, I'll take a look later, and remember, don't let the Giant Grave Demon get any closer."
After Sincley finished speaking solemnly, he turned around and began to arrange the sealing circle for the holy sword.
"I understand, your people are always so sensitive, and you have been friendly for many years, but you still don't believe us."
Neam watched as Hinclair drew the circle in red magic ink and spoke to Hinclave.
"Trust? It's too much luxury for both of us. ā
"Why, I trust you so much."
"Don't say polite words, tell your true purpose."
"In other words, the Brotherhood of Steel should be a famous artisan organization before the gods and gods, but it's a pity that now only you are the only one who can be seen, and the rest are just some miscellaneous fish, which is really embarrassing."
"What do you want to say, don't forget that the Brotherhood of Steel never relies on people to win, only technology is the core, and you are ready to face the Golem Legion?"
Hinkley said in a deep voice as he drew the circle.
"It's scary, but do you still have enough men to control the golem? Ah, I forgot, your golems are supposed to be treasures with the ability to move autonomously, and they don't need to be manipulated, which is really enviable. ā
"If you're interested, you can try it for yourself."
"Interesting, but it's not time yet, you're alone here?"
"That's right."
Sincley finished drawing the circle and stood up.
Neam stood next to Hinclave and looked at the seal circle that had just been completed.
"The exquisite technique, using only six runes to successfully achieve the dual effect of energy sealing and desecration circle, is truly an amazing craftsmanship. With such a talent, you really don't plan to embark on the path of a mage? ā
"Can you explain your purpose now?"
Hinclair closed his eyes and felt the circle working, and everything was normal.
"Okay, I'm not going around in circles with you, I'm here to ...... this time"
Neam smiled slightly, and a hand unwittingly touched Hinclave's back, silently casting an extremely effective ghoul touch, and the touch attack with a strong paralyzing effect was enough to immobilize a person for a short time.
Unexpectedly, Hinclair was prepared, and just as Ghoul Touch was about to take effect, his body instantly swapped places with the body of the puppet in the distance, allowing the puppet to take the blow in his place.
"Do you really have a companion?"
Neam thrust his palm and dug out the puppet's heart.
"It's indistinguishable from a real person, like a clone. It's amazing, it's a genius to be able to touch the skin of cloning even though you're not a mage! ā
Neam licked his beating heart and felt his inner thirst for blood go up a new level.
"Run, run as much as you want, I'll enjoy the process."
For a moment, the dim basement was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the shadows of wild dancing.
Inside the library, Sinclair sighed helplessly.
"Although I expected it, I didn't expect it to be today."
It seems that we need to evacuate everyone as soon as possible.
"But where should I go, I'll have to try my luck in the northeast."
Hinclair shoved the book back into the shelf, returned to the library door, and shouted to his teammates.
"That's it, let's gather first."
Simon and Vanessa heard the word and came to the door.
"Didn't the president find any useful books?"
Simon looked at the empty-handed Hinclair with some strange eyes.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now, and I was a little distracted."
"Oh, yes, I've found quite a few books on energy nodes, and some books on magic for Aphrodite."
Simon handed the book to Hinclair.
"Great, thank you."
Sinclair put the books Simon and Vanessa had collected into his dimensional pocket, his expression satisfied.
"Shall we go to the basement now? It seems interesting to hear Simon say that there is a long sword burning with white flames there. ā
Vanessa said with gusto, all she could think of was the glowing sword.
"No, let's go back first, the knowledge in these books is the most important, and we have to make sure to put them in a safe place as soon as possible."
Sinclair shook his head and vetoed Vanessa's idea.
"And the holy relics here should have been taken away by those evil forces, since even they can't take that sword, it's unlikely that we will succeed in taking that sword."
"Why don't you try?"
Simon asked Sinclair.
"I can try it later, but now is not the time."
"What happened?"
"The magic alarm I set up at the entrance of the temple has been triggered, and the other party is unknown to us, so we must remain vigilant and return to the headquarters as soon as possible."
Simon and Vanessa were startled by Sinclair's words, and the group packed up and left the library for the halls of the temple.
"Is this a blockage, so blatant."
Simon looked at the door of the temple, where a man stood, apparently waiting for them.
The man looked like a human, but the pointed ears were clearly not what a normal person should have. He stood there, but there was no shadow, as if the shadow had become one with him, and an eerie atmosphere hung over him.
"There's an aura of disgust everywhere in the temple, if we can, can we go outside and talk?"
The man said in a sincere tone.
Unlike the enemies he had encountered before, this time the enemy apparently had an intelligence no less than theirs, and Simon couldn't help but be surprised, he remembered the vampire blood servant that Vanessa had killed. Simon put Aphrodite on his back aside, ready for a new battle.
"Is it a vampire?"
"You've got some eyesight, have you seen any other vampires?"
"Don't talk nonsense, everyone!"
Hinclair interrupted the conversation between the two and rushed straight to the battle with great vigour.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Hinclair, we have time."
Vampire mage Neam said lightly.
Seeing this, Simon also began to read the incantation, because he had seen the extraordinary speed of vampires, he was ready to cast a smashing sound wave to perform an area attack, and the speed of the sound was much faster than the speed of a fireball. At the same time, Vanessa also shoots an arrow at Neuham, trying to contain his actions and provide cover for Sinclair.
Seeing the crowd's attack, Neam reacted without delay, first moving to avoid the arrows fired by Vanessa, and then raising his left hand and pointing the battering ram ring on his index finger at Simon, who was preparing to cast a spell.
A huge force directly knocked Simon out of the air, but due to the electric eel potion Simon took before, his defense is now not inferior to that of the heavily armored Hinclave, so he did not suffer any damage, but the spell casting was forced to be interrupted.
Simon quickly stood up, ready to continue casting spells, if he could, he wanted to cast defensive spells on himself first, but he wouldn't.
Seeing Simon stand up casually, Neam couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he wasn't worried about himself, he used the vampire's innate arachnoid ability, he could walk and run on any plane in defiance of gravity, Neam jumped between the pillars in the hall, it was impossible for ordinary mages to aim at him accurately, not to mention that Simon didn't look very old, probably just a beginner.
Seeing this, Simon immediately said the activation spell of the necklace.
"Moonlight."
Simon's figure disappeared in an instant and entered an invisible state, although he didn't know if vampires could see through invisibility, but Simon still didn't want to be a live target in the eyes of vampires.
Hinclair, on the other hand, held his armor and whispered after seeing Neham jump onto the pillar.
"The god of machines, the ingenuity of all things."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the armor that Sincley was wearing began to disintegrate, and was pulled away from Sincley's body by an invisible force, and reassembled beside him.
While not knowing what Sinclair was doing, Neam clearly couldn't watch him finish well, and Neam "stood" on the side of the pillar and began to expertly cast spells.
Simon takes the opportunity to attack Neuham with a smashing soundwave, and Vanessa also shoots two arrows in quick succession to try to interrupt him, but unfortunately it doesn't work. The concussive sound waves and air-piercing arrows all pierced Neam's figure and hit the pillar.
"It's a phantom!"
Simon, who was revealed by casting spells, hurriedly hid behind a nearby pillar to prevent a sneak attack by Neam.
At this time, Neham, who looked calm, walked out from behind the pillar on the other side, and he pointed at everyone, and an invisible wave quickly spread, easily engulfing everyone.
Simon felt his body suddenly weak, and his body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of soft mud, unable to move.
"This is the Exhaustion Aura used by the Black Knight? No, it's even more powerful than that, it's immobile at all. ā
Simon gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, desperately pushing even the slightest strength in his muscles, but he could only sit up against the pillar.
Simon saw Vanessa lying on the ground not far away, and Hinclave, who was still standing.
Vanessa is urging the spiritual energy in her body at this time to return to normal as soon as possible, because the strong will of the demon hunter archer can override the body, so you can use a technique called "Body of Will" to shorten the time for yourself to be adversely affected and speed up the return to normal, but the premise of this technique is that your mind is normal, and if you are affected by a negative mind, it will not be effective.
Perhaps because of his stronger body, Hinclave's exhaustion was incomplete, so he was still able to move normally. He pulled out a mechanical artifact covered in red veins from his dimensional pocket, a mechanical object made of metal like a heart, made of countless delicate parts and unknown biological tissues, it breathed rhythmically as if breathing, swallowing a gas with a reddish glow.
Looking at the assembled hollow armor in front of him, Hinclair quickly tucked this thing into the specially designed groove behind the armor.
In an instant, everyone present felt that this armor was alive.
