Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 42: Tamil's Rebellion (5)
The Necrotalker is a special type of necromancer. Since the undead are resurrected by the power of death, the use of death energy is the best, followed by soul energy. Ordinary undead strengthen themselves by absorbing death energy, while necromancers use death energy to destroy enemies, and develop undead spells one by one over a long period of time, enriching the means of using death energy and improving the efficiency of use.
But this also brings a big problem, that is, the enemies of the undead continue to develop targeted countermeasures to the energy of death over time, although the undead side is also constantly developing new spells and researching new means of attack, but everyone knows the simplicity of the right medicine and starting from nothing. This also led to a period of time when the undead were severely suppressed.
In view of this, the undead began to study how to use other energies, especially those that are plastic magical energy, due to the huge reserves and the fact that other races have studied this a lot, it has become the main direction of use of the undead. The culmination of this is the Great Sorcerer Gryman, a powerful lich who not only pushed the use of earth and frost to a very high level, but also single-handedly established the Necromancer Association, which is still the largest mage organization among the undead, constantly attracting those excellent necromancers to join it, and cultivating a large number of mage talents for the three empires.
It sounds strange that some of these necromancers who study the magical energy of the plastic energy have the status of both necromancers and followers of the Grim Reaper, because no matter what kind of mage, the reverence for the gods will gradually disappear with the in-depth understanding of magical powers, and in their eyes, the so-called gods are just beings with greater power and can use energy with greater efficiency. This perception reached its peak in the middle of the First Age, when the once-prosperous Elven Empire, after establishing its position as the supremacy of the continent, reached its peak in the use of magical energy after thousands of years of continuous development, and a large number of mage towers were built, and elven mages tried to gain the same power as the gods in this way.
The same goes for necromancers. Since they themselves are experts in the soul, they have a clearer understanding of the origin of the gods and the sources of their power, and naturally they have less reverence for the so-called gods. However, a portion of necromancers maintain their belief in the gods while studying magical powers, which allows them to use both spells and divine magic.
Spells that use magical energy to cause destruction have obvious effects and low consumption, but the disadvantage is that they take a long time to activate and require the surrounding environment to provide enough magic elements (for example, in a volcano, there is no way to activate large frozen magic, unless the mage's own magic power can meet the needs of magic), while magic has the advantage of having a short activation time and ignoring the surrounding environment, and the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot and has a limit on the number of times it can be used per day.
Therefore, after the refinement of these necromancers, a method of attack between magic and magic was developed. By directly burning the magic array in their own soul fire and connecting it with the small idol they carry, the necromancers on the one hand retain their powerful lethality, on the other hand, they greatly reduce their own consumption, through the intermediary of the idol, directly convert the divine power that unleashes the magic into magical power, so that the spell has the advantages of no chanting, no consumption, and no cooling.
Of course, there can be no absolute perfection in this world, and if this attack method is really flawless, it cannot be widely used. Since the magic array is to be burned directly into the soul fire, this is equivalent to operating on the soul origin, and its success rate is very low. Secondly, the transformed Soul Fire will cause the necromancer to no longer be able to communicate with magical energy, and can only operate through a fixed channel burned in the soul fire, which means that these necromancers can no longer use any other spells other than the burned spells, which is extremely serious.
As a result, this particular necromancer, known as the Necromancer, is almost impossible to see, but once encountered, their powerful magical abilities can cost anyone who despises them with their lives.
Just like what happened to Yu Bin now, can you imagine how terrifying it would be for a necromancer to use a flame ray spell as a machine gun?
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Little crawler! Come out! Where did the majesty go? Didn't you say you wanted me to know what regret is? The black-robed necromancer laughed wildly as he shot the big stone into a honeycomb with a flame ray, as a necromancer, he knew his strengths and weaknesses very well, so he would never take a step closer to Yu Bin easily, but used the flame ray to solve the other party from afar, this spell consumption was not large, for him as a fanatic, he could use it at least hundreds of times a day.
This is the combat power of a dead whisperer, the stronger the faith, the more divine power can be used, which means that the more spells can be launched, as long as it is a spell burned in the soul fire, whether it is the lowest level of magic or the highest level of forbidden spells, it can be thrown on the enemy's head at will.
After shooting for a long time, the necromancer didn't see Yu Bin escape from behind the stone, he went around to the side from afar, only to find that the back of the stone was already empty, leaving only a big hole in the ground.
"Shhhh Did you dig a hole and escape? Timid as a mouse! No, it's worse than a mouse, and a maggot-like existence dares to be rude to me! Corthro the Dead Whisperer pouted.
He was one of the necromancers sent from Dia to help Tamil, and after receiving orders from a powerful undead, he and several necromancers who were also studying in the Necromancer Guild were sent to the province of La Rodos to become a minor leader of the rebels. Today happened to be the one who was in charge of leading the patrol, although he was very unhappy that he was arranged to do such a thing, but he didn't dare to disobey Tamil's orders, for a heroic undead, a necromancer like him who had just stepped into the 6th rank was not an important role, even if he was a dead whisperer.
But when he passed through the foot of this mountain, a few big stones suddenly fell from the mountain and directly killed the four soldiers, and before he could figure out what was going on, Yu Bin, who suddenly jumped out from the side, raised his sword and dropped the remaining five soldiers, of course, three of them were disabled because of the injuries caused by falling rocks, which was also the main reason for Yu Bin's success.
The high-spirited Yu Bin rushed towards Cothro while taking advantage of his mouth, but who would have thought that this was a hard bone, so there was the previous scene.
"Humph! Little reptile, do you think I won't be able to deal with you if I hide underground? Corthro said disdainfully, as a dead talker, the rank is not the most important, how many magic arrays are burned is the most important, because every burning means a big gamble, so Cothro, who has burned four magic arrays, has always believed that he is the darling of death, which is also an important reason why he became a fanatic.
In addition to the flame rays, Corthro burned three spells, Hurricane Armor, Mire, and Negative Energy Touch, which combined attack, defense, movement restriction, and healing.
"Struggle in the mud, maggots!" With a finger of Cothro's hand, a mire was thrown near the boulder, perfectly covering the large hole that had been dug out, and the hard ground quickly softened under the influence of magical energy, and then turned into a viscous mire, and any enemy caught in it would be restrained in their tracks, and then baptized by the flames and finally turned into a corpse.
Since becoming the Dead Talker, I don't know how many people have become sacrifices under this kind of combo, and this time is no exception, Corthro firmly believes in it.
"It's very deep!" After waiting for nearly a minute, Yu Bin still did not appear, and Cothro said impatiently, the mire technique can only last for a minute at most, and then the ground will be hard again. He didn't hesitate to throw more mire techniques over, he wanted to turn all that area into a deep mire, even if Yu Bin didn't come out, the viscous mire would slowly fill the underground tunnel, and when it was hard again, he could successfully bury Yu Bin alive in the ground.
"Hahaha, ground mouse, see how long you can endure!" The second time, the third time, Corthro covered the area again and again, watching as large chunks of stone were swallowed up by the mire, then assimilated and slowly seeped into the ground.
Just as he was about to use the mire for the fourth time, a humanoid object flew out of the viscous mire, and without hesitation, Corthro activated the magic array in the soul fire, and the flame rays flew towards the target in an endless stream, shooting it out of the air with a thousand holes.
"Hahaha! See? Crawler! This is the end of your provocation to me! Corthro laughed maniacally, watching the humanoid fall from the sky and crash into the mire.
"That's not right! Damn, scammed! Seeing the humanoid object that had been shot into a hornet's nest floating silently on the surface of the mire, Cothro immediately realized that something was wrong, a corpse could not float on the mire like this, and its own weight would quickly engulf him in the mire.
However, it was too late for this realization, and two hands were suddenly stretched out from Cothro's feet, firmly grasping his ankles, and then pulling down so hard that the hollowed-out ground had just sunk him in its entirety, revealing only one head.
Poor Cothro didn't even see the enemy's appearance, and he was planted in the ground, and he could feel a short sword cutting through his body underground, the sharp blade easily breaking through his robe and touching the bones covered with shriveled muscle. In this case, he couldn't even fight back, because the soul fire couldn't lock on to the enemy at all, and the spell naturally couldn't be targeted.
Just as Cothro was thinking about how to kill the ground mouse, Yu Bin had already successfully chopped off his two palms, and it was only at this time that Cothro realized that he should first find a way to get out of the ground, instead of thinking about how to shoot Yu Bin through with a flame ray.
But this realization was too late, and with the loss of both hands, Corthro could not rely on his own strength to get out of this terrible situation, and he could only activate the Hurricane Armor, hoping to use this spell to protect himself from further damage.
The Whisperer's special spell abilities allow Corthro to cast spells without outside support, otherwise a standard necromancer would not have enough wind to activate a spell like Hurricane Armor. Solid walls of wind covered Corthro's body, making it as difficult for Yu Bin's short sword to penetrate as if it were slashing at a piece of iron.
But it didn't matter at all, Yu Bin quickly changed his plan, filled two space bags with the mire that had not disappeared along the excavated underground passage, and then dumped it on Cothero's body, and after more than ten seconds, the effect of the mire disappeared, making Cothro's body firmly embedded in the earth as if it was fixed by cement.
Yu Bin jumped out of the ground from behind Corthero, and said while slashing his head with the Black Wing Blade: "A cuirass and a leggings, and then a simple fixation with a rope, can fool you, what do you say you are not an idiot?" ”
Ten minutes later, with endless resentment and unwillingness, Cothro's soul fire was extinguished by Yu Bin's sword, and the dead whisperer became a corpse.
Yu Bin didn't care about searching the other party's body and left, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Bin had all kinds of tools prepared to climb over the mountain, it would be impossible to dig an underground passage in such a short time, and it would be too troublesome for Yu Bin to dig out Corthro. What's more, the two of them have been fighting here for nearly half an hour, maybe the rebels will send someone to find this patrol that has been delayed for a long time, and then it will be impossible to find death if they encounter a hard stubble.
Yu Bin quickly transferred and picked a safe place to sit down and rest. In order to deal with Cothro, the Dead Whisperer, he lost his cuirasse, leg guards, and some ropes, which Yu Bin felt very distressed about. In fact, if possible, Yu Bin would rather choose to leave after the unsuccessful attack, and the two of them would not have violated the river water, but this guy had to find death, and as a result, Yu Bin had to use this method to kill Cothero.
"I'll have to pick an easy target next time!" This is Yu Bin's second attack on the patrol, and he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, which made Yu Bin realize that the strength of the rebels has not weakened enough to be bullied casually, not to mention that he has now lost two main pieces of equipment, his own protection ability has been greatly reduced, and the risks he faces in the battle are greater, so Yu Bin naturally has to restrain himself.
"I don't know when those guys will make up their minds to launch a general attack, so that I can fish in troubled waters and find a way to fish from the rebels!"
Yu Bin continued to search for suitable prey while looking forward to it.
