Chapter 13: Void Body

"It's the Spirit!" The mages in the patrol shouted. Raising his arm, his fingertips condensed with white energy, and two magic missiles shot at a bound spirit in succession, a goblin waiting to die?

The dying goblin had been shot by a magic projectile before its claws fell, its diminutive body tied to its companions, and it was killed instantly, not knocked away.

"Kill the goblins first!" It's unclear why we did this, but we did as the mage told us to, and poison arrows and magic flew in droves to target the goblins.

"Any humanoid killed by the Band will turn into another Band in a short time! Goblins are too weak to kill one in at least two hits. The mage then explained.

The priest on the team held up Rose's badge and shouted at the Binding Spirit, a special ability used by priests who believe in evil gods against the undead, and if successful, the undead will cower for 1 minute, or even obey the priest's orders. But the Binding Spirit was clearly beyond their capabilities, completely ignoring their rebukes.

The last living goblin, poisoned by a poison arrow, was immediately turned into an equally cold corpse by the freezing rays. Before that, another goblin was preemptively killed by the Bound Spirits.

In addition to one mage and two clerics in the patrol, nine other members of the hand-to-hand class threw down their crossbows and drew their melee weapons and charged at the Spiritbinders.

At this time, the third goblin killed by the Bound Spirit was also transformed into their own kind, and we faced six Bound Spirits.

I slashed at the spirit binding in front of me with my long sword, sending out a fierce attack, the long sword cut through the mist-like outline of the spirit binding, but there was no response, there was a feeling of hitting the air.

As if unaffected, the Binding Spirit pounced with its claws outstretched.

Raise the small steel shield, I block ......

The claws of the Bound Spirit passed through the small steel shield without hindrance, and through the inlaid leather armor on my body, I had the illusion that I was naked and unarmoured.

I struggled to my side, but still grabbed my shoulder. A bone-chilling sensation spread from the contact, as if something in my body had been lost along with the heat.

"The Binding Spirit is an imaginary body, only magic or weapons with magic can damage it, its attacks can penetrate armor and shields, and it will absorb constitution attributes!" The learned mage continued to give an afterthought.

The Broach flinched suddenly, and a long whip floating in the air was automatically attacking it, its translucent outline not looking like it was corporeal. A priest standing in the distance was engrossed in manipulating it.

I took the opportunity to run back, straight back to the mage.

The mage looked at me with unkind eyes, and I quickly explained, "My longsword is not a magic weapon, it is just an ordinary commodity worth 15 gold coins. ”

"Bring me your sword," the mage took my sword, chanted a spell, and wiped it on the spine, the sword glowing faintly. "I've cast a demonic weapon on your longsword, and the spell only lasts a few minutes, so you need to hurry."

I picked up the sword and was about to rush back, but the mage suddenly grabbed me, "Wait, suppress your spell resistance, I'll cast a mage armor on you." ”

Suppressing spell resistance is just an idea of oneself, which can temporarily invalidate the spell resistance of the dark elf's special ability. At the sound of the mage's incantation, a transparent and palpable force field appeared around my body.

"Void creatures can't traverse the force field unless their attacks are enough to negate the field's defense, but Spiritbinder's attacks can't break the force field of mage armor." He taunted me and said, "Now you have no reason to run away." ”

I called up the attribute panel and looked at it, my original 12-point physique, touched the bound spirit, and it lost 2 points, leaving only 10 points of physique. However, the loss of the health gauge is very small, almost negligible, and it seems that the attack power of the Binding Spirit is indeed not strong.

Now that my safety was assured, I rushed at the Binding Spirit again, and the Binding Spirit grabbed me with its claws in vain, and every attack on me was neutralized by the force field.

I kept sending out heavy attacks. Because the binding spirit is not an entity with a certain outline, there are still many times when it will hit the air, but the blade on both sides of the long sword is open, and if you miss a hit, you can fight back without turning your wrist. With each successful attack, the faint magical light on the sword would cause the smoke-like body of the Binding Spirit to be temporarily sliced open, and although it would soon converge again, the color would become lighter and lighter. Soon, a bound spirit wailed and vanished.

However, the situation is not promising, and while I killed 1 Binding Spirit, the other 2 were also eliminated by the other team, at the cost of losing the ability to continue fighting with 5 hand-to-hand combatants. Although the two clerics were treating the team members on the other side of the cavern who had withdrawn from the battle, it was unknown if they would be able to regain the constitution they had absorbed by the bound spirits.

I tried my best to attract and block the remaining 3 Bound Spirits, but I didn't dare to use violent attacks anymore, because it would be too much physical exertion. The amount of physical strength and the speed of physical recovery are related to physical fitness.,And I originally only had 12 constitution.,And I was absorbed by the bound spirit with 2 points of constitution.,Physical recovery can't keep up with the consumption.。

The other three thieves who have been fighting with the help of agile skills can only play a role in containment. But after a while, a thief accidentally touched the bound spirit, and immediately retreated to the priest's side.

"Don't be in a daze over there, cast another mage armor on them and support us with attack spells!" I shouted to the mage.

"I've only memorized one mage armor, which has already been used on you, and there are no spells left that are suitable for use now." The mage said with a strange expression, and immediately quietly stepped back a few steps, away from where he had been standing. One of the binders was attracted by his voice and turned to look, but the band just looked at where he was standing and continued to attack me.

After killing one more binder, the remaining two thieves retreated to the priest's side, and one band gave up on me, chasing after me.

The speed of the binding spirit is very fast, I can't catch up, and there is one more here, if you chase it, don't you bring this one over? However, the team members over there have lost their combat power, and the mage said that the remaining spells are not suitable, and the priest should use them early if he has suitable spells.

Just as I was in a hurry, the two priests took out small flat bottles and poured water-like liquid on the chasing spirits, and the dull spirits splashed the liquid, and immediately let out a wail and disappeared. This is the evil water, which Rose's priest will wear with him, and can harm the undead.

I brace myself and intensify my attacks to finish off the last remaining Bound Spirit.

Give me back the goblins! Lose me gold! The abominable binding spirit, as soon as it is finished, will be wiped out, and nothing will be left, so that I can't even whip the corpse to vent my hatred.

The mage came up to me and asked, "You can see me all the time?" ”

"Nonsense, I'm not blind!" I was quite upset that he had been standing by and watching me desperately, although a mage who couldn't cast spells was of little use, but the problem was that his laid-back attitude was upsetting me.

"It's strange, I obviously used invisibility on myself just now, and those bound spirits can't see me. Do you have a magical object that can see through invisibility? The mage didn't mind my attitude and continued to ask.

"I'm covered in cheap ordinary goods, how can I have any magic items."

"I've heard that people with great intelligence can easily see through low-level illusions." The mage looked at me and shook his head, "But you're just a stupid warrior. ”

Damn, you're stupid! However, there is a lesson to be learned from the past that offended Commander Ayton, and I will not tell anyone about my attributes again, lest I cause something wrong.

The priest of the team has performed a secondary recovery technique, but it still can't heal the constitution absorbed by the bound spirits, and they can't use the more advanced recovery techniques.

Luckily, no of the team members died in the battle, and fortunately, the patrol, which had almost lost its combat power, did not encounter any more fighting when they returned to the city, and was able to return to the Demon Blade Academy safely. After reporting to the instructor, he recruited the senior students of the Spider Academy to perform a restoration spell on us, recovering the lost physique.

After this battle, I came to realize the importance of magical equipment to a warrior. I really made a lot of money some time ago, and there was a money bag containing more than 500 gold coins lying in my backpack, so I took this opportunity to go back to the Demon Blade City to find a weapon shop and exchange shotguns.
