Chapter 213: Trap (5)
In the Arcane Academy, Chairman Magnus, who was discussing with the Wind Whispering Autumn Sword of Benevolence, suddenly stood up, his face full of solemnity. Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence were slightly stunned, but they also quickly understood that something must have happened.
"Five hundred and eighty miles east of Oroyusta, someone triggered a solar eruption. The chairman's voice was as awe-inspiring as ice, and looking at the two of them, he explained, "Incre's battle group should be near that position. β
Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence looked at each other in amazement. The chairman of the board of directors was here to discuss with them how to prevent these people from messing around, and they immediately received such a message. Although the ten-ring arcane arts of the Morning Light Mage Tower, which is controlled by the Chairman, can only be used within Oroyosta, its detection ability is obviously more than that.
β... It is not a simple Yang Flame Explosion, although the level of elemental laws is extremely high, but the spilled elemental fluctuations are not strong, this is a controlled Yang Flame Explosion released through the High Arcane Golem. It must be Incre's combat regiment, they're fighting people. Come with me, both of you, we must go and talk to the Duke of Inclave. β
After a moment's consideration, the Chairman walked over and grabbed the Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence, respectively, and then he took a step forward, the scenery around him twisted strangely, and then they appeared in a large and luxurious hall. By the window of the hall, Duke Incre, dressed in pajamas, was holding a hot girl in one hand and a glass of blue wine in the other, laughing with the girl while looking at the scenery outside the window.
The Duke was taken aback by the sudden appearance of three uninvited guests not far behind him, and the light of lightning immediately lit up in his hand, and a high-ring arcane was about to be released, and the girl in his arms also screamed in fright. Fortunately, the Duke immediately identified these three people, the lightning in his hand immediately dissipated, and the vigilance on his face immediately turned into dissatisfaction and anger: "Your Excellency, this is a private mansion!"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but the situation is urgent. The chairman made an apologetic gesture. "Your combat pioneer group seems to be engaged in a big fight. β
The Duke frowned, turned around and whispered a few words to the girl, who quickly turned to leave, and then he looked at the chairman with a puzzled face: "Really? They are not impulsive people. And they have a couple of giant golems, and I don't think anyone wants to provoke them......"
"You'd better check it out as soon as possible. Five hundred and eighty miles east of Oroyusta, there was a precisely controlled small area of sun flames. At this distance, you should be able to communicate. β
The duke flicked his fingers in disbelief, and the arcane magic circle that popped out of a ring on his hand flashed in midair, and he turned his head as if listening to the news that came, and then his face changed, and a slight killing intent and anger emerged.
"I'm sorry, but the Incre Golem isn't as intimidating as I thought. Or maybe the Arcane Revival has been more daring than all of us expected. I had to get there right away. After a pause, the Duke looked at the chairman again, looking a little playful. "By the way, Your Excellency, you may soon receive protests and warnings from the deceased, because someone has used a nine-ring undead arcane with a wide area of influence. β
"What?" The chairman's eyes, which had been hidden under his eyebrows, widened suddenly, and his face became extremely ugly, and for the first time, the old man showed a look of excitement that was almost out of shape.
"It seems like there's a lot of excitement to see. The Sword of Benevolence smiled heartlessly at the wind. "Brother Feng doesn't want to see it?"
The essence of the law arcane is to distort the laws of the world to produce effects, the undead arcane is the distorted law of life, with the help of life self-generation can continue to derive and diffuse countless possible characteristics, the high ring of the undead arcane can cause all kinds of unbelievable and very terrifying consequences. Without the suppression and interference of external forces, just an eight-ring arcane 'diffuse human-type lethal plague' could theoretically exterminate the entire continent of humanity.
In view of this, even the Arcane Empire itself has strict control and supervision of the undead arcane, and the Faith of the Dead and the elven druids regard the arcanists who use the undead arcane as enemies, so there are very few arcanists who have always used the wide-area high-ring undead arcane in battle. But today, five hundred miles away from Oroyusta, there was actually a nine-ring undead arcane that was released.
"Your Excellency, Lord Duke, if there is any need for help, the two of us are willing to help. Feng Yinqiu immediately said to the chairman. Of course, he also really wanted to see the nine-ring undead arcane that made the chairman change color, and he also guessed that once this level of arcane art got out of control, it would be an unspeakable catastrophe, and it was reasonable to help as much as possible.
"Alright, everyone, then I'll mobilize the sequence of the academy to teleport us over a long distance together, please don't resist. The chairman closed his eyes. After a few seconds, the surrounding landscape began to distort, and after a dizzying shock, they were already in broad daylight from the Duke's ornate hall.
A wave of heat is blowing. It's not a suffocating heatwave, it's a heat wave to bake. If it were just ordinary people who had no means of protection and were exposed to this heat wave, they would turn into a mass of cooked meat in a matter of seconds, and this was just a slight afterglow left after the sun burst sweep, not even the aftermath.
They did not stand on the ground, but appeared in mid-air. The location of the director's teleportation was supposed to be the ground, but there was nothing beneath their feet, countless charred crystals covered the ground at least a hundred meters below them, and some dark red liquid like lava flowed slowly in the ravines like a stream, this strange landscape stretched out until there was no end in sight.
It's like a dead hell, lifeless. This was the first time that Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence had seen the Sun Flame Explosion wreaking havoc in this material world. As far as the eye could see, there was a crystallized scorched earth, and in the absence of the protection of powerful laws, no simple matter could maintain its form under the projection of the fire elemental territory, and all of it was decomposed from the most basic elemental structure and then dispersed, leaving only some crystallized residues of the earth elemental condensation.
Feng Yinqiu couldn't help but take a slight breath when he saw it. Although this arcane art is the way of magic weapons, it is indeed too amazing in terms of pure attack power, according to the chairman of the board of directors, this is only a limited sun explosion, it has already completely turned such a large area of land into a death prison, and even the ground has been stripped of a layer of tens of meters thick, and any birds, beasts, or even snakes, insects, rats and ants on it have no room to survive.
However, it is not to say that this scorched black land is empty and dead, on the contrary, not far away, several huge figures are colliding with each other, making a deafening loud sound, and from time to time with the flash of arcane aura, a huge amount of energy will escape, and the attention of the chairman and the duke will be attracted as soon as they come, watching the strange battle with full attention.
The most conspicuous thing in that battle was a slightly hunched back and a fat figure with a hunched body. In fact, at first glance, this is just a slightly obscene and sluggish middle-aged fat man, but this fat man is nearly 100 meters tall, and other originally majestic and terrifying metal golems around him are just like a group of toys, although these golems jump up and down and keep rushing and attacking, and from time to time they can also launch a series of arcane arts, but in front of this huge fat man, they only look weak and ridiculous, those arcane can only collapse some skin on the fat man's body, and the fat man can occasionally reach out and grab a small number of golems, like a child who doesn't like toys, and dismantle them into parts and pieces on the groundγ
β... Those... I didn't do that... I didn't do that..."
The huge fat man was dismantling the golem casually, and at the same time muttering some repetitive words in his mouth, which seemed to be a whisper of self-talk, but from the huge body that was 100 meters tall, it eventually became deafening. Of course, this is not a real human being, and the human body form can never withstand such size and weight. Looking closely, you can tell that the body of the huge fat man is actually composed of countless corpses entangled and combined, including people, all kinds of animals, and even birds and insects, these various corpses are very tightly combined, as if they really become a whole, and even the most subtle expressions on the fat man's face can be clearly expressed.
β... This is the 'Corpse Troll'. Looking at this weird huge fat man, the chairman's face was still solemn, but he seemed to be a little relaxed.
"Your Excellency, don't relax, although this necromantic arcane is not very diffuse, it does not mean that there is none. The Duke's face was even more ugly, especially when he looked at the golems that had been easily crushed and dismantled. Thankfully, none of the golems were any, and all of the Inclave mages were among the ten largest golems. "Such a huge corpse troll, he has at least made thousands of active corpses as cores in advance and buried them in various places, and as long as he wants, he can always let the core living corpses turn all the animals of an area into substrates. β
"Hehe, this fat man is so powerful? It seems that this Arcane Revival Society is not so weak, and it is not in vain that I have joined for a while. The Sword of Benevolence looked with interest at the corpse giant in front of him. He couldn't use flying skills like the Duke of the Chairman, and at this moment, he was standing firmly on a force field wall with his hands on his chest, looking like he was watching a good show. "Your Excellency, what the hell is going on with this arcane? Is it just a big doll to come out and play with these golems?"
The chairman ignored him and shouted at the giant, "Huey, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what I told you? You can only hurt Jenny ...... like this."
The voice amplified by the arcane resonance came out in a row, and the huge fat man made up of corpses seemed to hear it, and turned his head to look at the chairman. There were still eyeballs in the hut-sized eye sockets, which were strange spheres formed by hundreds of human heads glued together, and each head stared at the world beyond the socket with its eyes wide open.
β... Those... I didn't do that... I didn't do that... You go away......"
The fat man of the huge corpse had a punched mouth, like a wronged child, and he only said this sentence in his mind. Suddenly, the heads in his eyes opened their mouths, and the gray-white mist that erupted from hundreds of mouths merged into a half-void and half-solid light that shot towards the four people in mid-air, and countless faintly visible human faces rose and fell one after another in this light, which was an attack condensed by countless ghostly spirits.
The sudden attack did no harm to the chairman and the duke. As mages standing at the top level of the continent, even if the two of them didn't react at all, the trigger-type arcane sequence on their bodies alone was almost enough to face any sudden attack, and although the two gray-white rays completely enveloped their bodies, they vanished once they approached their bodies.
Feng Yinqiu was body swayed, and easily dodged the past under the effect of the force field giant hand, purely in terms of reaction, of course, he was far better than the Duke and the chairman, although these two gray rays came suddenly, they couldn't hit him at such a distance.
Relatively speaking, the Sword of Benevolence is much more embarrassing, his reflexes are undoubtedly the strongest and fastest of the four, but he doesn't have a sequential protection spell on his body, and he doesn't even understand what arcane art to use to protect against such an attack, and what stands under his feet is a force field wall with almost no friction, and it is too late to use another force field wall to borrow strength to leave, he simply straightened his chest, shouted angrily, and the energy on his body was vigorous, and he stood still and suffered this blow.
There was a soft snort. Although only two rays shot out of the corpse giant's eye sockets, they were like a waterfall compared to the four people in the air. These two gray torrents with countless human faces directly drowned the figure of the Sword of Benevolence, and then he fell straight down.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from falling, and he stood on a force field wall again, and jumped up and stood still.
"Haha, sure enough, this fat man is still a little interesting. The sword of benevolence had shredded its clothes, but it laughed as if nothing had happened. These attacks based on Yin Soul Impact may be fatal to ordinary arcanists, but they are useless to an innate master like him who is pure and fierce in martial arts, and he just fell down just now and shattered the force field wall under his feet when he was full of energy.
At this moment, the golems surrounded by the corpse giants on all sides below seized this opportunity, and the two huge golems stretched out their arms to each other and combined together, and an incomparably dazzling light in the space surrounded by the four arms was rapidly generated, expanded, spread, and then turned into a huge pillar of light that penetrated the sky and erupted, completely submerging the upper body of the corpse giant in the light.
Prior to this, there were not a few offensive arcane spells cast by these golems, all kinds of flames, lightning, strong acids, and force field impacts had all exploded on the corpse giant's body, but none of them had any effect, only some scattered limb fragments peeled off the surface of the giant's body, and these corpses were obviously extremely resistant to various elemental damage. The same is true of the physical attacks of the two fighting golems, and the composite metal blades that can easily cut off the limbs and rocks of the Earth Walking Dragon can't do any substantial damage to those corpses, and even if they cut some of them, those corpses move as if they have a will of their own and pounce back on the corpse giant's body, and in the blink of an eye, they merge back together. On the contrary, when the corpse giants grabbed the golem, these powerful arcane golems had little power to resist. The huge body of these tens of thousands of corpses is not just huge in size, it has the strength and tenacity to match the size.
However, at this moment, under this huge pillar of light, the body of the corpse giant finally received obvious damage, the pillar of light only lasted for about half a second, and the light generated by the two giant golems was completely extinguished, and at the same time disappeared with the terrifying pillar of light, leaving only the remains of a giant like a half-melted candle.
Once again, a huge heat wave swept through the area, and the air seemed to be about to burn directly, that is, there was nothing in the area that could burn, otherwise it would immediately turn into flames under this heat wave. The huge pillar of light just now was another condensed and controlled Yang Flame Explosion within a certain range, and the Fire Elemental Territory hurriedly showed its existence in the limited space and time, and all the substances it came into contact with, and those corpses that were still extremely tough in front of various elemental arcane before could no longer resist in the face of the power of the pure fire elemental projection, and melted like snowdrifts in front of hot water, but still left about one-third of the volume in the center.
"Good fellows, Lord Duke, it seems that you have a few brushes for the Battle Golem of Incre. Seeing such a blow, the Sword of Benevolence couldn't help but praise it. Feng Yinqiu also nodded secretly when he saw it, this kind of precisely controlled Yang Yan Explosion was obviously more practical and convenient, and it was able to manipulate the Eight Rings Arcane Transformation like this, and Incre's battle golem was really enough to be proud of.
However, the Duke and the Chairman did not show a relaxed look because of this, and they still stared at the battlefield.
Along with the pillars of light, there were a number of arcane crystals on the two golems, one of which came to a near complete pause, and several mages jumped out of it, turning and burrowing into the other, which was still moving. Obviously, this Yang Yan attack was also a great loss to the golem, but relatively speaking, the corpse giant, who had almost half been evaporated, was more seriously injured, and the mutilated body seemed to be unable to maintain even its own center of gravity, and it fell to the ground crookedly, took two steps back, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
The ground shook incessantly with a loud bang, and even if only a small half of the corpse giant's body remained, it had an astonishing mass like a small mountain, and this tremor did not weaken or stop because of the corpse giant's immobility, but became more and more intense, and suddenly the ground crumbled in several places, and countless corpses poured out like fountains. The corpse fountains did not disperse, but instead converged in mid-air into a river of corpses towards the remains of the corpse giant on the ground, covering the corpse in an instant, and then blending together and wriggling, only to be completely restored to its original appearance after a few seconds.
"It hurts... It hurts... Those didn't do it, those didn't do it......" The corpse giant crawled up with what seemed to be a very slow movement, still muttering the words in his mouth, and casually pulled the immobile golem over there, rubbing his hands together to break it into several pieces, and then slowly turned around and walked towards the remaining golems. The remaining golems, as if they had lost their fighting spirit, no longer tried to attack, but retreated
"Your Excellency, it looks like your golem is no match, why don't you go down and help?" asked the Sword of Benevolence, looking at the Duke.
"I can't help much. The Duke's tone was as gloomy as his expression. "Since he had prepared a huge horde of living corpses in reserve, our attack on this corpse troll would only translate into the death of other creatures. The corpses consumed here can be transformed and replenished from other places, unless this corpse puppet is dismantled at the fundamental level...... Your Excellency, are you going to let the corpse troll go all the way to Oroyosta?"
β... Without the help of the Academy's arcane sequence, I wouldn't be able to disassemble this nine-ring arcane..."The chairman's face was equally ugly.
These words made Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence couldn't help but look sideways, and they couldn't imagine that these two arcanists standing at the top of the continent were actually helpless against the corpse giant in front of them. Seeing the attention of the two of them, the chairman also sighed and explained: "Legal-based arcane is essentially produced by tearing or distorting the laws of the world, so whether it is the summoned element, the force field or anything else, it will be corrected by the power of the world itself. But only the undead system is different, it distorts the law of life, and life itself cannot be modified and rejected by the world, so this arcane will last for a long time......"
Thankfully, rejection and correction manifest themselves in a different way. The Duke spoke suddenly, looking into the distance.
The other three were also feeling something, and when they looked up, in the distant sky, two strange-looking things were flying in this direction from two directions.
Arcane Academy, the light gradually brightens up in the darkness.
The figures of an old woman and a girl walked into the empty mage tower, and Mu Qinyi in the crystal container in the middle of the mage tower was still with her eyes closed, as if she was completely unaware of the people and changes outside.
"I really didn't expect that one day I would have to rely on Magnus to sneak in to the academy. The old woman shook her head and sighed, then looked at the young woman beside her. "But Stephanie, you don't really need to risk it, if Magnus has set up any protective measures or even traps, I may not be able to protect you. β
"No, I have to come. The young woman's voice was soft, but firm. "Because she's the only friend I've had so far. β
Walking to the crystal container, the young woman looked at Mu Qinyi in the middle. She looked very closely, and her eyes were soft, but soon she let out a long sigh, reached out and touched the circle she was using to control underneath, and then dotted on the arcane light screen that appeared, and the arcane circle around her flickered a few times before falling silent.
"Alright, let's go. In fact, this is also the outcome that the clergy dream of. The old woman patted the young woman on the shoulder, and the two turned around and walked out, the crystal of illumination went out, and everything returned to darkness as if nothing had happened.
