Chapter 017: High Priest of the Evil Moon
With the fragmented remains of the goblins scattered on the ground and the bonfires in the crypt extinguished, Taryn leaves after making sure that the small goblin clan is gone.
Back in the dark and lengthy passages, the Tyranid Heartless Sutra is completely different. When he first woke up, apart from fear and resentment, he only had the emotion of confusion.
Being killed by someone is not something to boast about, especially when killed by someone you trust. As his personal bodyguard and master, Taryn never imagined that he would betray him.
At the end of this dark corridor is the altar. Taryn walked and walked, slowing down and forcibly pulling his thoughts back.
Regarding the attack on the Tree of Life by the forces of the relics, the system seems to be sure that the root cause is on the altar. The one-armed guardian of the ruins is the lowest-level gargoylee in the ruins, and judging from the imprint that Tyron saw at the time, it should have been transformed by infection near the altar, and if the guardian was affiliated with the altar, some things can be said.
After all, he himself was "resurrected" through the altar, but he did not stay to guard the altar, so there was another guardian who guarded the altar to recover the defectors......
When you think about it, it seems like it's okay. But it's wrong for the other party to directly attack buildings such as the Tree of Life and the Ancient Tree of War, is it because there is a homologous breath?
Confused, Taryn told one of the guards to move on while he waited.
No fluorescent, no torches, no vision or anything. Although Taryn has the ability to perceive, in the face of a sudden crisis, it is still a little reluctant to deal with it with this broken body.
The Shawei who was moving forward was soon attacked, and a magical shock came, and Shawei disintegrated in an instant, and ceased to exist!
Tyron, who is the root of Shawei, has also suffered a little bit of soul trauma.
In the moment before Sha Wei dissipated, he caught a faint light through Sha Wei's vision.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward with his Western sword. He was pretty sure that Sha Wei had been attacked by someone else's magic, and not dispelled by a force like an enchantment...... The underground ruins are completely guarded by the undead, and apart from the location of the core, there is no barrier to stop the undead.
In the chase, Taryn hears a jumble of footsteps and is speeding in the direction of the altar.
The Filthy Magic Stone was placed in his right chest, completely wrapped in sand, and driven by his mind, the unique magic of the Filthy Magic Stone was absorbed by Tyran's body.
When that long-lost power returned to his body, Tyron felt refreshed and his feet accelerated suddenly.
Then, with his unique sand sensing ability, he quickly captured the location of the target and swung it down with a sword!
With a thud, the blade slashed across the attacker's shirt, but it didn't hurt the opponent.
The man in front of him also began to pick up speed, as if he was deliberately guiding Tyron. Taryn was aware of it, but he didn't stop there.
Soon, two figures, one in front and one behind, came to the vicinity of the altar.
At the top of the altar, there is a large red crystal that is constantly emitting light. At that time, the explorers wanted to remove the crystal, thus activating the magic circle and allowing Tyron to awaken.
After that, they were attacked by two Guardians of the Ruins, and the last of their powerful personnel were lost.
And in the scarlet light, a figure in a tattered cloak slowly turned.
"Undead?" When Taryn saw his skull, he immediately had this idea.
He seems to have met a real undead......
"Sure enough, I brought you in, thief...... Hehehe...... "The skeleton made a sound that shook the air with magical power, and its voice was deep and deep, making it very uncomfortable to listen to.
"Huh? You are...... The Great Sacrifice? Tyron's memories weren't altered, but when he woke up, he had a little more information about the ruins. Although there is little information, in some specific cases, the memory content is completed.
This skeleton is the high priest who is in charge of this altar.
"Foolish thief, give your soul!" In a gloomy and indistinct tone, a spell sounded faintly.
Taryn didn't know what he wanted to do, but when it came to something like this, it was obviously not wrong to interrupt the spell cast. Without saying a word, he directly smashed a mana-burning magic missile on the high priest.
The unique cost of mana burn not only burns the target's magic energy, but also deals equal damage.
The system's digital method of calculating health and mana may not be very practical for living things, but it is very useful for undead things, and it can accurately express the state of an undead thing.
Under the effect of Tyron's mana burning, the high priest emitted a faint blue firelight, and the flash of fire made the high priest's body tremble slightly.
At the same time, the relevant data has appeared in the system interface.
Unit Name: High Priest of the Evil Moon
Health: 560/13000
Mana: 245/25000
Attack:???
Armor: 0
Magic Resistance: 0
Introduction: The High Priest of the Evil Moon Platform of the Eternal Night King, responsible for matters related to the worship of the evil god of the moon. He died a long time ago with the fall of the Eternal Night King's capital, and his soul was attached to the Evil Moon Altar. The High Priest had foreseen the fate of the royal capital and left a curse on the altar with a never-ending reincarnation magic to be used for his rebirth......
When Taryn saw this attribute, he was really shocked, the upper limit of 13,000 lives? Are you sure you're not kidding? And the mana cap is terrifyingly high.
But what's even more terrifying is that his current state is no different from waste. A level 1 mana burn alone removes 100 mana and weakens him.
However, judging from the introduction, it seems that he was reborn in this form because of his reincarnation magic?
After this opponent's attribute was spied on by the system, many things became clear.
[The exploration quest has been completed, and you have obtained 100 Lifesource, 60 Gold, and Legendary Scepter*1]
Shawei had already arrived by this time, and Taryn handed Shawei the teleportation scepter that appeared in his hand out of thin air, and then stepped forward with his sword to learn about the hapless and down-and-out High Priest.
But just then, the sand above his head cracked, and a one-armed stone statue fell down heavily, lying between the two.
Tyron's physical condition repaired with the Filthy Demon Stone didn't last long, and he didn't hesitate, and after ordering the rest of the Shawei to drag down the Guardian, he quickly headed towards the High Priest.
Mana burns!
The seven-second interval is pretty bad for the real world, especially when Tyron's mana is greater than the target's mana, it's a miracle!
He would choose to fuse Demon Hunters, mainly because he wanted to deal with magical powers. After all, as an immortal, he has an advantage when facing living creatures, and magic is the most important way to deal with it.
Now, it's a very clear choice. Tylen's mana is capped at 1320, and the mana burn consumes 100 mana each time, dealing the same amount of mana depletion and damage to the target!
The High Priest obviously didn't expect that a guy who had been resurrected by cursed magic would learn such terrifying magic in more than ten days.
"Damn it!" While the high priest cursed, he also knew his condition.
He knew that he could no longer wait for the so-called perfect opportunity, and that the ritual had to be performed immediately, even though he might not be able to be perfectly reborn in that case.
But if he continues, he will be burned alive by mana burning! From what a complete death!
Just as he was about to start the reincarnation ritual, his body trembled for some reason. Immediately, new flesh grew rapidly on top of his skeleton at a rate visible to the naked eye, and it looked as if he was being reborn.
But what he uttered was terrified......
"Please, let me go, no...... Please...... Leave me alone......"
