Chapter 27: The Big Bang
Finding that the hostages in her hand didn't seem to be working as they should, and looking at the magic fireball that was ready to be launched in the hands of the sorceress, the desperate lich Dora gritted her teeth and decided to fight.
Anyway, his life box is still in Diya, even if the current body is destroyed, as long as the soul can escape back, then another body will be created, and the lich is this benefit, as long as the life box and soul are still there, it is an immortal existence.
As for what kind of punishment she will receive after returning to Diya, it is not something that can be considered now, and it will take a long process to reshape her body, and it may be possible that Diya's situation will change at that time.
Having made up his mind, the lich began to find a way to stall for time, and he wanted to buy enough time for the spell he was about to cast.
One of his hands had quietly moved to the back of Jian Chen's heart, and under the cover of Jian Chen's body, no one saw that this hand was beginning to emit a black light.
It's a sign of the Lich's racial ability, the Soul Shift.
Soul transfer is the lich's life-saving method, which does not require a spell to activate, but it takes a certain amount of time to complete. This spell transfers most of the Lich's soul and complete memories into other creatures, slowly devouring the souls of the other person, eventually turning the body into a puppet under its control.
Normally, the Lich will not choose to do this unless it is absolutely necessary, because after doing so, the self-consciousness of the original body will slowly disappear, and eventually become the walking dead, and the soul battle will also cause the Lich's own soul to be seriously damaged, resulting in the fact that even if the Lich body is successfully restored, it will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to return to its original state without spending more than a hundred years to recuperate.
In order to avoid this situation, the lich will never cast the spell of soul transfer unless it is forced to reach the point of being exhausted, and even if it is cast, they will choose some weak creatures as new soul containers, because the soul power of these creatures is relatively weak, the body is easy to capture, and the damage to the soul is small, and it is relatively easy to recover.
But now the lich Dora has reluctantly chosen the hostage in his hand as a vessel for the transfer of his soul, and in this case, he has no better choice.
It is rare to choose a human being as a container, because the soul power of a human being is relatively strong, it is not easy to swallow, and it is easy to be discovered by others after seizing the body, resulting in secondary damage.
However, Dora is not very worried about this problem, the guy in his hand is seriously injured, his body is weak, he has been suffering from illness for such a long time, the power of his soul should be weakened, and the benefits of controlling this body are obvious, this guy is a lord, and maybe he can use this identity to do something.
For example, mobilize people to search for Terrence Rockwin's treasures in the castle.
The Lich-Master wasn't dead yet, and even in the worst of the moment, he was still thinking about how to get the job done.
"I can tell you everything about the Terrence Rockwin treasure, but can you promise not to hurt me after I'm done?" The lich began to pretend to cooperate, and at this point it was best to follow his opponent's words, "What if you still want to attack me after I'm done?" ”
The sorceress, who had no idea that the lich was fighting ghosts, snorted, "Do you think you have the right to bargain?" Filthy undead, you'd better decide before I change my mind, or ......"
The sorceress didn't go on, but the threat in her words was self-evident.
The lich quacked and laughed, "Don't forget, I'm a lich, and if you want to kill me, I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Still, I choose to tell you about the treasure, you know, I was a very personable gentleman before I became a lich, and as a gentleman, I can't refuse the request of such a beautiful young lady, even if it is not very sincere! ”
"Less!" The lich's slightly mocking words annoyed the sorceress a little, and she couldn't help but snort.
Jian Chen smiled bitterly, it seemed that the current situation was nothing to do without himself as a hostage, but why did he still have to be used as a shield in his hand like this?
He really wanted to remind the two noble magicians if they could put themselves down first and then negotiate properly, but looking at the female magician's expressionless face, the words swirled around a few times before swallowing in his stomach.
If this crazy woman is upset, I don't know what the consequences will be.
In desperation, Jian Chen suddenly felt a pain in his vest, as if something had stabbed him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and was about to open his mouth to ask, but the whole person was thrown away by the lich's big hand and flew out.
With a bang, Jian Chen, who was completely unprepared, slammed his head against the wall, and after this heavy blow, the poor lord could only faint simply.
The sudden change stunned both the half-elf and the sorceress, while the lich, who had completed the soul transfer, waved his hand quickly, and a series of incantations were recited from his mouth.
However, he had no chance to use this magic again, and the half-elf, who had quickly recovered his senses, shot a sharp arrow into his mouth with great accuracy, and the spell that had been clearly cut off was suddenly interrupted, and the sorceress's thunderbolt flames were also struck, and the lich who had been hit flew upside down with a miserable howl, and fell to the ground after knocking over a wooden table.
But the lich must be a powerful undead creature, and he was not so easily defeated, so he quickly stood up, pulled out the arrow in his mouth with a strong pull of his left hand, and threw it on the ground.
At this time, the half-elf had quickly rescued the lord who had fainted to the ground, and only the sorceress and the lich were left in the room.
"Damn woman! You'll regret everything you did today! Despite the successful soul transfer, the lich's body still retained some of his senses, and he roared and scooped up the table at his feet and threw it at the sorceress, as he muttered a word, and a water-based magic began to take shape in front of him.
After being hit by two more fire-based spells, the scorched lich finally completed his final attack.
"Acid Bomb Flying ——!" In a frenzied roar, a green venom missile was summoned by the lich.
This vicious single attack magic made the female magician frown, and she hurriedly turned around to dodge, and the venom projectile that lost her target hit a wall behind the female magician, and the solid stone wall was corroded into a large hole in just a few moments.
The guards outside the door originally wanted to come in to help, but they were stopped by the half-elves, and then everyone escorted the unconscious lord and the two fallen soldiers to retreat.
The half-elf understands that this level of magician duel is not something that ordinary soldiers can interfere with, and rushing in rashly will only kill them in vain.
And because of the female magician's usual bad attitude and performance just now, the half-elf feels a little like sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
It would be nice to make this hateful woman suffer a little, the half-elf thought.
And judging by the lich's frightened expression when he saw this woman and the current situation in the room, there should be no suspense about the outcome of the victory, even if so, why should he interfere, it is still important to protect the lord.
So the half-elf also departed after the crowd had retreated.
Seeing that the other party still had the strength to fight back, the female magician who didn't dare to hold up a fire magic shield quickly held up a fire magic shield to protect herself, while the lich, who was gradually losing consciousness, began to become irritable, he no longer summoned magic, but grabbed a table foot from the ground and pounced on the opponent to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The witch was caught off guard by the lich's unexpected anti-mage fighting style, and there wasn't much room to run around in the room, so she was in a hurry for a while, and the magic shield was slammed several times by the lich with a thick table leg.
"Ring of Fire!" Enraged, the sorceress summoned a talisman spell, and a ring of flames appeared on her, forcing the lich back as it tried to get closer.
Seeing that he couldn't get close to his opponent, the squirming lich began to grab everything he could throw at his opponent, but because of the protection of the shield, he couldn't hurt the sorceress at all.
The few furnishings and trinkets in the lord's room were soon destroyed, either by magic or by the lich as a large hidden weapon.
The lich who was already covered in magic flames was burning like a fire element, and at this time perfectly showed the strength of a high-level undead creature, and after receiving so much frontal damage, he didn't even fall, but kept fighting back, although he didn't summon magic again, but he kept jumping up and down but also gave the female magician a headache.
I don't know if it's because Masaka, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was woken up and quite unhappy, or because the ugly-looking opponent in front of her refused to fall down and was upset, or because the woman happened to come again for a few days every month, or if it was a combination of the three, Ash Temple Wizard suddenly burst into a monstrous anger that was extremely inconsistent with her calm appearance.
Seeing that the powerful single attack magic alone could not quickly solve the opponent, the beautiful magician, who was carried away by anger, gritted his teeth and began to chant a powerful magic.
The woman who was on fire in the fight had no idea what the consequences would be of using such powerful magic in such a small space.
"Beaded Fireball!"
In the fierce explosion, Harmondale Castle trembled violently in the deep night, a spire located in the middle of the castle collapsed, and the dust and snow mixed together, enveloping the entire castle, and the huge roar made countless people wake up from their sleep, and the whole of Hammondale was in a commotion.
Since the lord's chamber was located in the middle of the upper level of the castle, the fire magician Ash Temple's full force of anger caused serious damage to the castle.
The buildings connected to the lord's chambers, both up and down, front and back, left and right, were all blasted into ruins by the powerful magic explosion and the powerful shockwave it generated, creating a huge hole in the castle.
Not only that, but due to the violent shaking caused by the explosion and the impact of the collapse of the minaret, the already dilapidated castle of Hammondale collapsed in many places and buried many places, including underground cellars and wine cellars.
Fortunately, the people in the castle had retreated to the castle hall under the command of the half-elves, so there were no unexpected casualties.
Even so, the violent shaking and the dust falling overhead made the faces of the people who stayed in the hall blue with fright, and they panicked, thinking that they would be buried alive in the castle, and some of the maids were even more frightened and fainted on the spot.
As the after-effects of the explosion wore off, the sorceress stumbled up from the messy ground among the scattered falling stones.
Because she is a magic caster and protected by a fire-based magic shield, as the initiator of this castle explosion, the sorceress who looks like Kate Beckinsale has not suffered much damage, but she has only suffered minor injuries, but she is in the center of the explosion and was almost buried by the collapsed rocks on the top, and she currently looks extremely embarrassed.
Especially after the magic shield withstood too much impact and disappeared, the female magician was hit a few times by the small stone that fell on her head, but fortunately the collapse had come to an end at this time, and there were no large stones falling, otherwise the genius beauty magician who was choked by the dust and could not summon the shield in time was likely to die and die on the spot.
Slapping some of the thick dust off her hair, blinking her eyes that were confused by the dust, and pulling up the magician's robe that was pressed by the stones, the female magician looked up at the situation around her, even though she knew that all this was her own doing, she still couldn't help but be startled, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
And the poor lich body has long been shattered in this terrible explosion, and then the dust has returned to dust, and the dust has returned to the earth, and there is no trace of his existence to be found.
At this time, in the hall of the castle, Grand Lord Chen Jian, who had made fainting a common thing since he came to Hammondal, finally woke up from his coma again.
The first thing he did after realizing that he was safe was to take off his clothes and ask the captain of the half-elf guard to check what he had done to the damn lich on his back.
"Quick! Help me take a look, did you find anything? ”
