Chapter 252: Face to face
Hearing Zhao Xu's words, even though Frank had become a nine-ring mage, he still couldn't help but show a panicked look at this moment.
The devil had cast too deep a shadow on him.
Compared to the lords of the multiple layers of the abyss, there are just nine lords in the nine layers of hell, among which Asmodeimus, the lord of the nine hells, is the main one.
At the same time, the war between Bato's hell and the bottomless abyss can be stalemate for many years on the bloody battlefield.
On the one hand, it has a lot to do with the lords of the abyss, and on the other hand, it can also see the essence of Bato's hell itself.
Zhao Xu looked at the Frank mage and had the intention of retreating, and directly mocked: "Don't you want to find your wife back?" ”
"If you're afraid of the devil, you might as well give up now."
As if stimulated by Zhao Xu, the mage Frank, who had transformed into a constructing creature, gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll try." ”
As he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze mirror from his dimensional bag, the size of which was no more than the size of a palm, as if it was a woman's dresser.
It's just that the patterns on the back of the mirror are all outlined in purgatory, with the mysterious badge in the middle, exuding an ominous meaning.
"My wife's soul was swallowed up by this mirror. Later, I kept her body, waiting for her soul to return. Frank said lonely.
For ordinary people, the cost of resurrection is the biggest problem in resurrecting the dead.
But for powerful adventurers, the biggest problem with resurrection is where those souls go.
The resurrection cannot be forced.
Frank then proceeded from the dimensional pouch to hold the sacrifices needed for the summoning ceremony, and then drew a simple magic circle on the ground to activate the altar.
"These devils are also a little more cautious, and even the summoning ceremony has to be customized?"
Arthur's summoning devil projection spell has a lot, but it is generally summoned by ordinary rank devils.
Zhao Xu, who had only studied the ritual slightly, felt the difference between that ritual and the ordinary devil-summoning ritual, and was not just satisfied with communication.
Some summoning rituals have ended, but the attention of the evil creatures of the other world has not.
Those otherworldly evil creatures can even track down target creatures and even obtain sensory information from the contractor, even to the point of telepathy and direct hints.
What's even more exaggerated is that Zhao Xu noticed that the other party didn't take any precautions as a nine-ring mage before summoning the devil.
It's like entertaining your friends instead of calling out to the devil.
Zhao Xu had at least used the spell of "Protecting against Evil" before.
"It seems that he must have failed after a trial. This time, I saw that there was hope for a turnaround, and I didn't even have the means to be on guard. Lux said.
Seeing Frank's full attention, little by little arranging a simple summoning altar on the ground, Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning: "This shows that the devil is very cautious." Lux, are you sure? ”
"Huh? Grasp? Lux suddenly asked, "Why should I be sure, anyway, master, you have the amulet of 'Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant' on you." That angel won't watch you happen. ”
"Lux, the one we have to face is at the level of the 'Hell Lord', even if this time it's just the incarnation of the other party." Zhao Xu frowned slightly.
"Hehe, master, you know it's an incarnation. We are inherently restrained in the main material plane. But I don't think it will come, it's just just communicating with us. ”
At this time, Frank was also fully arranged, and began to chant the mantra of communication, while constantly turning the mirror in his hand.
Suddenly, the temperature of the entire treasure house dropped by a few points.
Slowly, under the influence of the True Perception Technique, as well as the cooperation of many reconnaissance skills, Zhao Xu began to feel a powerful will energy suddenly descending into the mirror.
For example, some "Otherworldly Oath" spells, which can control otherworldly creatures, are prerequisites that the other party has been summoned.
Now if it is just a will, Zhao Xu can only "talk".
Suddenly, an incomparably evil force emerged from the mirror, as if with the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the bloody battle, enveloping the entire treasure house.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you are currently in the area of influence of the "Evil Aura".] 】
"Evil Aura", the eight-ring arcane, Zhao Xu naturally listened.
It's just that he didn't expect that just by completing the ceremony, the other party's will descended, and this kind of spell would result.
It's already a bit of a super-scale war.
"Heh, which humble reptile is it?"
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in the mirror, speaking in a hoarse voice, in purgatory.
Zhao Xu, who has the blessing of "clever words", immediately reacted to what the other party said.
"The breath is really at the lord level, and Frank can mess with it." At this time, Lux also said.
"It's me, lowly Frank." Frank hurriedly bowed down to the faint voice in the mirror.
"Oh, so it's you, Frank, have you met those three conditions? If you don't, I'll put your wife's soul into the body of the devil, and she will be our people. The wicked devil mocked.
"No, don't, great 'Eric' master, please don't do that." Then Frank begged in a mournful voice.
Even if his blood is infused with Mithril, all the organs in his body are transformed into Mithril. But the vigorous emotions in my heart have not been erased.
"Who are you?" At this time, Zhao Xu took a step forward slightly, looking at the mirror possessed by the devil's will with a serious expression.
"It's actually the priest of the goddess of magic, a disgusting aura. So you coerced Frank? So what do I have to do? Like, let him kill you all? The vague evil shadow laughed at Zhao Xu.
It's just that after hearing that his wife's soul will be injected into the body of the inferior demon, Frank is already in chaos at this time, and has lost the most basic thinking ability of a mage.
"Hand over the soul of Frank's wife." Zhao Xu looked at the vague figure in the bronze mirror and said.
At this moment, the "miracle technique" in his hand is preparing to be launched.
Half of the life energy was left, and he originally wanted to use it until the big battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Since he encounters such a situation, he will also throw it out without hesitation.
"Hehe, who are you? Where do you get this kind of face to communicate with the great me? "The devil in the mirror is even more domineering.
"Master, this character is not quite like those lords in hell." Lux said in surprise.
Compared to the countless lords of the abyss, the lords of the nine layers of hell are all in the books.
"A man who came to negotiate on behalf of Frank." Zhao Xu said.
"You're so confident, how about making a bet?" The will in the mirror suddenly defiantly said, "If you are willing to use your soul as a bargaining chip, then I can also press Frank's wife's bargaining chip." ”
"How do you bet?" Zhao Xu asked.
At this time, the "miracle technique" in his hand was just the last firework.
"Like, guess who I am? You have three chances, and if you guess right, I'll give you back the soul of Frank's wife. But if you don't guess, I'll take your soul. The blurred figure in the mirror continued to induce Zhao Xu.
He is not afraid of Zhao Xu's tricks, as long as he goes through several layers of language traps, once Zhao Xu starts to guess, the consequences will be the same as swearing in front of the River Styx.
"Master, that sounds like more than a third of the possibilities." Lux pondered, "Three chances to guess the current Nine Lords of Bato Hell doesn't seem too much. But in fact, there are actually some former lords in hell, and even demons who are close to lord-level existence, but they are not granted the territory to rule. ”
"How, accept?" The entire treasure house suddenly resounded with the cruel smile of the evil will in the mirror, "Look at what kind of cowardly helper you are looking for, hahaha." ”
"I accept." Zhao Xu said.
Suddenly, Frank's already desperate eyes showed a look of disbelief.
"Then you can guess, only three names." Said the power of the mirror.
It's just that compared to the devil's tradition, it didn't take out a complicated treaty for Zhao Xu to sign.
"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed without loopholes."
"Miracles: I want the contract to be executed without being misinterpreted."
"Miracles: I want the contract to be executed fairly and fairly."
"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed intact."
"Miracle: I want the contract to be executed right now."
Suddenly, Zhao Xu took a breath directly, and performed five miracle techniques in five consecutive rounds.
One divine aura after another emerged from Zhao Xu's body.
The fall of each syllable means that the power of will in this void is becoming more and more oppressive.
Countless heavenly powers suddenly densely covered this space, building a cage that could not be escaped, locking this space little by little.
It seems that with every step you take, you will feel the power of colliding with specific rules.
Under the influence of miracles, the originally implied oath also began to emerge, constantly hovering over everyone, full of future meaning.
The words of the exchange between Zhao Xu and the shadow in the mirror turned into unbreakable contract words one by one with golden light.
"How can there be such an abuse of miracles?" The will in the mirror suddenly felt angry and corrupted.
It didn't expect that the trap it set would instead become an oath to bind itself!
"But you haven't guessed yet. You have to carry out your vow right away, and you are blocking your own back road. The will in the mirror also reacted and smiled hideously.
Even if Zhao Xu guessed it just now, he could still delay it for hundreds of years, and even directly give the other party a devil with the soul of Frank's wife.
Under Zhao Xu's miracle magic requirements, the oath they had just made was materialized, and at the same time, the pressure on him was much greater.
"Grazt."
Zhao Xu suddenly said the name of this top demon lord in the abyss, and it was also one of the few possible champions.
