Chapter 32: The Colossus of Bones (Part II)

"Whewβ€”it's dangerous."

Mu Yan's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

The two of them were now hanging from the cobwebs in the air, but Mu Yan knew that he had to hurry down, because the Bone Colossus might use some strange move after discovering that there were no living people on the ground.

So he pointed not far away and said to Surya, "If you see the thread, you go and grab it, and I'll count to three, and we'll jump down together." ”

"Well, and then what?" The girl asked as she crawled over.

"Confirm it, you've put the heavy sword away, right?"

"Hmm."

Seeing that Surya was in place, he realized that he didn't have enough magic left to put a small fireball to cut the cable, so he asked:

"Will you be able to slash any fire?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well? ”

"It'sβ€”"

Suddenly, he instinctively felt some magic fluctuation brewing in the colossus's mouth, so he didn't have time to think about it, jumped into the mire, and shouted at the same time:

"Let's jump!"

In line with her trust in Mu Yan, Surya jumped down without hesitation.

The moment the two of them landed together, a chilling wave of light shot through the mist, shattering countless stone pillars.

Mu Yan secretly said in his heart, 13 points of perception are not deceiving! It's just that at this time, it's not a good sign to use "Wind Impact".

Almost at the same time as the light waved, the Colossus began to gallop again, rushing straight towards the two of them.

Fortunately, the foreshadowing that Mu Yan, who had incarnated as Spider-Man before, began to work, and most of the stone pillars hit by the light wave were attached to the cobwebs, and now the stone pillars were broken, and the thick cobwebs covered it like a veil, just putting the colossus in.

Coupled with the muddy obstruction in the center of the field, the momentum of the Colossus's progress suddenly slowed down. But Rao is so, and the impact of the Colossus's advance should not be underestimated.

"Run to me! Step on ice chips! Mu Yan shouted to Surya, and then a "flash technique" crossed the quagmire and went to the girl's side.

The Colossus was surrounded by cold, and the surface of the mire it passed through was covered with ice, which was of little use to its bloated body, but it was enough for two humans.

At this time, the colossus had just crashed into the net, and the scattered net pockets had not yet been tightened, and the impact had not yet been transmitted to the thread in the hands of the two people. After Suria and Mu Yan swapped places and ran around it for half a circle, the tightly wrapped colossus walked through the mud and struggled to reach the edge with restraints, the cobwebs were tense to the limit, and the two people who were bound in the circle were almost taken away under the action of inertia.

But in this way, the colossus was tied up stronger.

We all know that when an elastic object deforms to a certain limit, it either breaks down or begins to shrink. At this time, the old power of the colossus had been lost, and the new force had not yet been born, and the tight cobwebs suddenly contracted, and with the buoyancy of the mire, it was dragged back.

Mu Yan, who let go of his hand, seemed to hear the "creaking" sound continuously, he raised his head, and the large net he had carefully woven was making an overwhelmed sound.

On the craggy stone pillar overhead, a net bag looks like a bow that has been drawn into a full moon, and a heavy sword is stuck in the center of the net bag. Behind it, countless threads converged into a thin cable with the thickness of a bowl, passing through a deep hole in nature and then vertically downward, connecting to another net that held the Colossus of Bone in its pocket.

"Surya, nowβ€”"

"Danger!"

Mu Yan was just about to give the last order, when a sudden shout came from his ears, and then the girl who came out of nowhere threw herself down, and then he heard countless swords breaking through the air, accompanied by the shaking of the earth and the deafening roar of the giant elephant.

One of them was the most piercing sound, as if a comet was descending from the sky with its long tail and letting out a screech.

For a moment, a myriad of thoughts crossed his mind, he should have cut the thickest cable at this time, and let the giant artificial slingshot shoot a heavy sword, and then, according to his calculations, just enough to stab the Colossus in the back. If the Colossus dies, the battle is over, if the Colossus suffers and does not die, then he raises the white flag and surrenders, I believe that this answer sheet is enough to make the stubborn girl recognize the reality.

In all fairness, such a well-designed game can't get the boss, and he doesn't believe that the historical Surya has any way to win. A small cosmic explosion? What are you kidding, this is not Ultraman fighting monsters.

But the current situation is that he is pressed under the girl's soft and delicate body, and he doesn't know what is going on, so he can only make up for it with his voice.

It sounds like the Colossus used the "Bone Storm" to cut off the net itself, but how did it spin with the help of its strength while it was hanging in the air? Left foot on right foot? He stepped on Newton's old man's shoulder to lay out this game, and the other party was going to get Newton out of the coffin and then face him head-on? What's more, that little short leg can reach the left and right feet?

Take 10,000 steps back, if it's a "white bone storm", then the posture of this man and woman is not right, no matter how you say that you are also a dignified seven-foot man, how to let a girl be a human sandbag?

This brainstorming seemed to be long, but in fact, only a second passed, and Mu Yan skillfully pulled up three stone walls to surround the two.

That's the proper use of spells.

"What? The little couple can't help the rest of their lives after the catastrophe? ”

Zaix's voice came from behind, and the two of them hurriedly stood up.

The girl's face was flushed, but Mu Yan looked as usual. He already had little magic left, and what he pulled up was an earthen wall, but rather a mound of earth, only half a meter high, and it couldn't block his vision at all.

Standing up at this time, the situation in the center of the field made him stunned.

The Bone Colossus had transformed into the humanoid Gundam he remembered, standing stunned with a blade and bone shield in his hand, and a heavy sword stuck in top of his head, about two-thirds of the way into it.

It is said that the skull is the hardest bone in most animals, and it can be inserted into a full two-thirds, and the strength of the artificial slingshot is far beyond his imagination.

Just in that case with the Colossus of the IQ wants to get transformed? Eighty percent of it is controlled remotely by this old guy, right?

"What is this?" He asked knowingly. "Mia didn't tell me it would transform."

"It's a secret weapon." The necromancer's face was somewhat embarrassed.

Just at the last moment, he found that with the speed of fire that can produce a sonic boom with the heavy sword, Manny's back can't be stopped at all, maybe the soul fire will be injured, God knows how this kid found out that its soul fire is not in the head. So he had to forcibly intervene, and at the same time helped the two of them block a lot of bone spurs, otherwise they would definitely end up together.

"Oh, that's amazing." Mu Yan said dryly.

"Ahem...... Zayx hurriedly changed the subject: "Your battle thinking just now is excellent, did you plan it a long time ago or did it happen on the spot?" ”

"Do you mean the Extreme Triple Flash or the "damage amplification" that you secretly put on?" He also asked rhetorical questions evasively.

"Neither...... What the? You also used "damage amplification"? Zayx suddenly didn't calm down, grabbed Mu Yan's neckline, and scolded: "Do you know how difficult it is to repair the corroded bones of that thing? ”

"Calm - how could I possibly use it all over my body." Mu Yan pouted. "Just a small piece on its back."

However, he was also a little excited, and it seemed that he had just secretly used "Damage Amplification" under the cover of thick smoke and was not discovered.

Zayx was also a little scared, and he glanced at Manny's heavy sword, which was submerged two-thirds above his head, and if the sword stabbed the corroded back bone, its soul fire would definitely dissipate.

"Go and rest, I'm going to check Manny's injuries." The mage gave the order to evict the guest. "Rhine's granddaughter, I'll let someone send it over later."

The exhausted pair helped each other out, leaving Zaix alone.

Because there was no real winner, this battle did not bring any experience gains, but for Mu Yan it was indeed a valuable wealth of actual combat experience, after all, in terms of fighting, he has always been "sitting and watching the angler, and he has nothing to envy", and this is also the first serious battle.

The fire caused by the "greasy technique" has long since been extinguished, and the choking smell of smoke and white mist still lingers in the air, and the quagmire that had left Manny deep in it has also formed a thick layer of frost, hard as iron. But the weeds and cobwebs scattered everywhere seem to tell the story of the disparate contest just now.

Zaix stepped forward, and Manny lowered his shield and fell to the ground. The mage stroked its skull and tried to draw the heavy sword, but there was no suspense and no movement.

"Manny, can you pull it off yourself?"

"Roarβ€”"

"What? You're going to get revenge on him? Forget it, that's my apprentice anyway. ”

Manny let out an unwilling whimper, and changed back to the form of a skeletal mammoth, still with the sword stuck in his head, looking a little funny.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, you're going too far, so let's pull out the sword first. ”

The giant elephant stood up, shook the mud off his body, and walked away.

Zaix froze in place, as if he were mentally retarded.

----------------

After dinner, Mu Yan was called to the study by Zaix, and the other party looked like he wanted to talk at the dinner table just now.

Walking into the study, he saluted respectfully.

"Teacher."

Although he usually behaves in a good way, he still has to show the respect he deserves on such occasions, not to mention that Zaix has taught him a lot these days.

The mage was clearly pleased with his apprentice and waved him to sit down.

"You said you used "damage amplification" today, right? Did you really decide to touch the realm of the dead? ”

"Damage Amplification" is the exclusive and signature skill of the Necromancer, and the gray aura with the smell of decay cannot be concealed no matter what.

Mu Yan nodded, as a player, he has no prejudice against power. Moreover, for a new mage, laying a good foundation is the most important thing, and isn't what Zayx himself can provide with a wealth of knowledge of the Necromantic School?

In three years, Lokan would be in chaos, and the urgency of the situation would not allow him to hesitate to find a good teacher, not to mention that even if Surya agreed to take him back to the Plain of the Horses, it would take at least two months to get from here to Jialan or Morningstar.

After all, at this time, he didn't know any Morrowind Headmaster, Wynne Garcia, a figure who would tremble when he stomped his feet, and it was difficult to move an inch in that kind of environment. In contrast, hugging Zaix's thighs is the best option.

"Actually, with your sense of battle, it's more appropriate to become an Arcanist or Elementalist." Zaix was still a little unbearable. "With the exception of Ward, the mysterious founder of the Necronomicon School, most of the others are involved in it with some kind of obsession. Have you ever lost someone important? ”

Mu Yan shook his head.

"As I said, magic is just a tool to me, like a sword, it's not self-aware, it's good or evil only for the caster, and I'm pretty sure I canβ€”"

"You're wrong, your consciousness hasn't sunk into the River Styx, you don't understand that feeling of hopelessness and apathy." Zaix interrupted him, "Necromancy is different from any other magic, it affects your mind, gradually makes you disgusted with the living, and finally becomes the ferryman of the River Styx. ”

"You mean...... Lich? ”

"That's right, that's where almost every necromancer goes." Zaix sighed. "Every notebook I've found, the owner of the notebook had the same idea as you at first, but then ...... In order to find the soul of their nostalgia, in order to recover the people they once lost, no one will stop searching. The River Styx is too big, and you don't know if the person you're looking for still exists, so you can only search aimlessly with conviction until you finally lose your sanity and humanity and become a lich. ”

His tone was rather sad, as if he had anticipated his future.

"That'...... What about Leoric who whispered to you? What did he say? ”

"Him?" Zaix sneered: "That guy didn't know why he woke up, and he also painted a picture of the dead ruling the world to me, and persuaded me to join him, and the new world in the future will have a place for me." ”

"It's not appealing to you, is it?" Mu Yan frowned, if it was just like this, how could Zaix be bewitched and thus become a lich in advance? At this rate, it will be at least another ten years before he loses his humanity and naturally evolves into a lich.

"He's the dead, originally from the River Styx, and he said he'd help me find Grace's soul." The mage's eyes were a little misty.

Mu Yan was silent, this was really impossible to refuse......

"So you're still going to be a necromancer?"

"Of course." He nodded.

Necromancers and sorcerers are very close in the game, and both are good at all kinds of curses, but the former is keen on summoning, and the latter is good at disintegrating devastating spells such as rays. Although it lacks damage compared to the magically brilliant elementalists, and the combat power is slightly weaker than the arcane masters with all kinds of tricks, the comprehensive strength is not inferior to the two at all, and it belongs to the all-trades profession.

After all, this is a noble mage! Besides, the difference between the different classes in the game is mainly the penalty of mixing equipment and the bonus of specialization skills, and in the real Lokan, this kind of forcible restriction does not seem to exist, if nothing else, doesn't Surya often wear leather armor that only thieves wear? Doesn't that mean that as long as he can afford to have experience and find a teacher, he can learn whatever he wants?

……

Seeing that Mu Yan insisted on this, Zayx didn't say much, and handed him a gray stone.

"This is the Stone of the River Styx, which is used to communicate with the underworld and sink your soul into the River Styx, since you can use the "Damage Amplification", you can also be regarded as a one-ring mage, enough to carry out this step, and then your soul will be marked by the River Styx, and you no longer need it."

It's finally time to start fishing! Mu Yan took the stone excitedly.

The surface of the stone is smooth and exudes a hint of coolness.

"Now come with me to the meditation house."

After explaining a few things to look out for, Zayx stood up.

Mu Yan hurriedly followed.
