Chapter 35: Black Eats Black
Almost instantly, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" discovered the anomaly in the investigation spells left around the manor. With Angel's boudoir as the center, the creatures in a corner of the manor fell into a coma. Whether it was the nobles, the guards, or the servants, they all lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground motionless.
"It's hopeless," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" immediately judged, "It's necromantic gas." Inhaled 'dead air'...... It can't be saved anymore. ”
Sou!
The hands of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" emitted a faint golden glow. A golden shield appeared, enveloping the small half of the manor. The entire area of lifeless air was enclosed by a protective shield.
"Protective spells," Levi scoffed, "I can't imagine that you, the embodiment of destruction, would deign to be noble and cast protective spells. ”
The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" frowned slightly. Necromantic gas was rapidly spreading around the room he was in, and if it weren't for the shroud spell he cast to isolate the dead air area from the outside world, preventing the further spread of dead air, I am afraid that within a few minutes, the creatures in the manor would be nearly dead! Luckily, the Mystic Warriors and the hostages are outside the Dead Zone.
"Let me guess," Lévy still smiled, "you feel sorry for the lives of these ants?" Or is it ...... Are you worried about your hostages? ”
"To do such a slaughter," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" sneered, "You're ready to make me carry the cauldron." I'm afraid that even the alibi has been prepared...... As the mage lord of Elrios, he is so ruthless, admired, admired. ”
"They are not my subjects," said Lévi gracefully, "and I am much worse than you in terms of coldness." ”
"Many powerful spellcasters would rather fight against an army than against a powerful necromancer," said the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "and when it comes to killing effectively, Levi Fedorovich of the Pale Moon...... You really amaze me. Seventeen! To ensure that the dead air spreads to every corner of the manor, you have laid down a full seventeen spells to release the dead air. ”
"It's a pity that every part of it is covered by your thoughts," Lévi lamented, "The 'dead air' I prepared is colorless and tasteless, and I thought I would be able to get away with missing one or two places." ”
"At least you've achieved your goal." The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" had a calm face.
"What?"
"Just kidding. You didn't expect this little skill to hinder me in the first place...... Right? You're just trying to distract me with this boring trick, aren't you? As long as I am distracted to protect the hostages, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it......"
Levy's eyes narrowed into a slit.
"It's a pity," the burly black-robed man laughed, "that you have bet your hopes on such a little trick." If you want to fight me, you'll have to show some real skills, Lévi Fedorovich! ”
Waves of qi erupted from around the body of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". Levi seemed caught off guard and was swept away by the wave of air, crashing into a wooden bookshelf. Bookshelves topple and books scattered...... But many of those books didn't even have the time to land, they all decayed and turned into dust and scattered.
Just one breath in time. Where it was originally a bookshelf, the bookshelves and books have all disappeared, and only a few pieces of dry and rotten wood are still reminding people of the existence of bookshelves.
…… It's not just bookshelves.
Everything in the room was rapidly turning to ashes. The desk, the bed, and even Angel's corpse, which had fallen to the ground, were rotting into mud in the blink of an eye, leaving not even the scum and bones left.
From the very beginning, Lévi Fedorovich unleashed two different necromantic aura. The first is powerful enough to poison an ordinary person in a matter of seconds, while the other is capable of corroding the strongest mammoths into falling dust in an instant. Levi hides the second type of dead air behind the first and releases it, making it even more difficult to prevent.
Lévy never expected the first Death Qi to be a threat to the "Emperor of the Night". As he thought, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" had a physique that was different from ordinary people, and he would be safe even if he inhaled the first kind of death qi directly.
However, even the second kind of death that Lévy had high hopes for was nothing more than a joke in front of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".
"Your body...... Is it harder than a diamond......? Levi slowly got up from the ground, "And what ...... was that?" Do you have an air elemental creature in your body, or do you ...... it? ”
And the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" just snorted coldly. At this moment, in the room, except for the two black-robed mages, everything else had been corroded by the dead qi and turned into nothing.
"So, you're still too stupid, Levi Fedorovich."
The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" stretched out his hand. As if being grabbed by an invisible force, Levy's body was lifted into the air. The necromancer struggled desperately, his face flushed, as if trying to inhale life-sustaining air.
"You...... I ......" Lévy tried to speak, but seemed to be able to spell out a few bits and pieces because his neck was stuck in the invisible hand.
"I have a few questions for you." "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" said.
And Levi seemed to be about to suffocate. He looked at him begging for mercy, and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" acted as if he hadn't seen it.
"First question. Who gave you the courage to calculate me? If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to lure me into melee combat and then attack me with your necromantic spells that corrupt everything, right? ”
Lévy stared at the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". He looked like he had stopped breathing completely.
"Second question. Even though you don't have any decent protective magic, you've also bathed your body in death. How did you survive......? ”
Levy didn't speak. There was dead silence in the room.
"Do you think your acting skills can hide from me......? You don't need to breathe at all, Levi Fedorovich, you 'death' ...... walking on earth! ”
With the roar of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", Levi's neck made a crunch, and it was twisted to the side at an exaggerated angle. Levi's body fell to the ground like a doll with a broken string - but he immediately stabilized himself.
Levi Fedorović, even with his neck broken, still stands in place.
"A nasty living lich." "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" said.
Lich. One of the most terrifying necromantic creatures in the world. The soul and body are separated into a special "life box", and the body is transformed into a necromantic creature. As long as the lifebox is not destroyed, the Lich will not be killed, and no matter how many times the Lich is killed, its body will regenerate again and again.
In the Cloud Age, the Lich's souls in their life boxes are aging and cannot last forever.
But at least you can't be killed!
And Levi in front of him is different from ordinary lichs. The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" could not feel the necromantic aura in him. This body is alive...... At least it looks like it's mostly alive. Unfortunately, although he can hide almost all the investigations, this man is still essentially a necromancer who manipulates the bodies of the living.
"Ah," Lévy turned his back to the "Emperor of the Night", as his neck was twisted and his face was facing the enemy, "I thought I was pretending to be good." It's been a long time since I've experienced the feeling of being choked by the neck. ”
"I was going to torture you," the Emperor of the Eternal Night sighed, "and it seems useless now. ”
"Are you sure you've won?" Levi still smiled, but the misplaced appearance of his head didn't give rise to half of his favor.
"I don't care what the hell you've left your life box behind," said the Emperor of the Night, "I've wasted too much time on you. Disappear. ”
With a wave of his hand, a blue flame erupted from Levi's feet. The turquoise flames pulsed, engulfing Levy's body in an instant. Levi uttered words in his mouth and cast a powerful protective spell, but the instantly enhanced fire still broke through the cyan shield that had just appeared on his body. The lich let out a terrible cry—and was burned in the flames.
……
In the empty room, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" gasped slightly.
"What a waste of time," he thought angrily, "the abominable Pale Moon." ”
Levy's lifebox is still there, and it won't be long before he can come back. Moreover, the sixteen "dead gas wells" left in the manor have not been lifted. Just now, in order to allow himself to deal with Levi with all his strength, nearly one-third of the spiritual power of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" was injected into those protective shields, so that those protective shields could exist without their own maintenance. If it weren't for the large number of mechanisms that had been placed in the manor beforehand, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" would not have been able to do this.
The first thing to do now is to go find those dead gas wells...... Then, quickly join up with those secret warriors......
The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" pushed open the door to the room. The door hadn't been opened since Levi appeared.
“……”
The expression of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" froze.
"Damn," he whispered, looking at the sight in front of him, "I should have thought of that." Why is this wooden door not corroded? ”
In front of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night", the original corridor disappeared. What appeared in front of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" was a vast white land with no end in sight, and an equally boundless pure white sky. The room was like an island, standing alone in the middle of an endless white ground.
…… A seal of space magic.
The Pale Moon did not prepare just one means. From the very beginning, he was prepared for failure and teleported the entire room into another dimension with spatial magic.
"Levi ......!"
"You've just given me a lot of guidance, my dear brother," Lévi Fedorovich's voice echoed across the vast expanse of white sky, "and now it's my turn. ”
---------------
"Brother?"
In the square where the hostages were, Lisa asked strangely when she saw her brother suddenly turn away.
"Nothing, Lisa," said Leon gently, "I'll come as I go." ”
Unlike the others, Leon, who practiced the secret ritual of space, could clearly feel that the space of the manor was shaking. And the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" has not returned.
Did you meet some opponent?
Leon walked in the direction of the disappearance of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". He didn't call out to the others, because he knew that the strength of the others was not enough to mix in a battle of this level.
