Chapter 663: The Witch's Trial
"You've discovered the 'Hall of Trials of the Witch of Salek'."
A system prompt pops up.
The hall's spiraling dome is covered with a layer of transparent glass, through which the outside daylight is projected into the hall as if it were scattered in the water, and the light is distorted and distorted.
"Ingrid!"
Charles was at the entrance of the passage opposite, and found the statue of the Lich standing still, and couldn't help but scream.
But the lich did not respond in the slightest, and closed her eyes slightly, as if the soul had been projected into some plane.
"She's putting on her own trials." Mavis reminded.
Charles looked around, but didn't notice the death screamer who was being manipulated by the lich. He thought to himself, "The evil energy of the territory should come from the silver spire that Mavis said. ”
"The glass palace is just a projection or a clone of the spire, but the power that leaks out is so terrifying......"
"Will I be able to enter the spire after completing the trial?"
Charles had anticipation and apprehension.
According to Mavis, most of the people who have found this place and conducted trials in history are above the legendary level, and he will not be too weak as a model priest.
"Don't worry, the trials are automatically graded." "There is an exclusive trial of the exemplar. ”
"In addition, I guess the reason for the energy escape of this glass palace is that no one has been to the top floor for a trial for too long, and it has been accumulating energy through sunlight, but if the accumulated energy is overloaded, it can only release the overflowing part of the energy......"
In other words, more people come here for trials. The more quickly it can consume the energy of the glass palace until the glass palace disappears on its own. ”
Charles was speechless.
Death Screamer and two corpse hounds held the first floor of the palace, if it weren't for Ingrid's intervention to contain the Death Screamer. It was hard for him to perceive that the huge oil painting on the wall of the hall on the first floor was actually a portal to the top floor.
"The second floor, the third floor, and even the hall closest to the top floor, I'm afraid there are similar secret doors hidden in the machine."
"You have to go through a door to get to the top floor, otherwise it's just a staircase. I reckon that some of the stairs are hiding magical traps that teleport back to the starting point. ”
Charles pondered, and then an unstoppable thought suddenly crossed his mind:
"Welcome. Human Priest. ”
The cold voice said, "The spire of Saluk, welcome all intelligent races. But before that, every visitor needs to pass a trial. ”
Backbite.
A panel pops up in front of Charles' eyes:
"1. [Kill the Snake Man] (Normal): You will be transported to an unknown dimension and fight against an energy-activated model snake man. Victory leads to trials. ”
"2. [Kill the Scales] (Hard): You will face a powerful Scalespawn who has inherited the bloodline of the Exemplary Witch."
"3. [Kill Demon Aoi] (Hell): You need to rely on your own strength. Kill a Quantified Baby Demon Aoi ......"
Undoubtedly, the difficulty of the trial mission has a direct impact on the rewards obtained from entering the Silver Spire.
If he chooses Normal difficulty and kills a model snake man, Charles doesn't think it's a big problem, but the hard and hellish options make him hesitate a little.
"Can I use any form of power in a trial?" Charles asked cautiously.
"Whether it's an external force or your own power. It's all your strength, and the trial only looks at the result and not the process. The indifferent voice explained.
"Then I'll choose the third option - kill the demon sunflower!"
Hear Charles' answer without hesitation. The voice finally said with surprise, "Are you sure, human priest?" ”
"Pretty sure!"
"Even if I fail the trial, I won't die, will I? In that case, then fight hard and come back if you fail. "Can you tell me how long this palace will last?" ”
"I showed up three months ago, and in a month at most, I'll be back in the minaret."
Backbite.
As soon as the words fell, Charles was teleported into a dark space.
This is a dark area, where glowing strange plants grow in clusters in the corners of caves. A ray of light drilled out of the void and landed on the ground, and the light quickly condensed into the energy body of the young demon sunflower.
"This is the application of simulacrum......"
Mavis was surprised, "But it's not an ordinary simulacrum. This energy-activated juvenile demon sunflower has completely inherited the level and ability of the main body. ”
"Be careful, Demon Sunflower was born in the Dark Realm, and its strength has been greatly increased in this environment!" "I'll do my best to help you!" ”
"Good!"
As soon as the young demon sunflower appeared, the aura of several protective spells surrounded it.
[Trigger Energy Resistance] (Five Rings)!
【Stone Skin】(Four Rings)!
[Secondary Spell Void Enchantment] (Four Rings)!
In the plot of Evlasca's crusade, Charles has almost figured out all the methods of the young demon sunflower, anyway, there are only those spells from one to the fifth ring, as long as a six-ring spell does not suddenly pop up, the battle can be said to be under control.
It was precisely because of his familiarity with the demon sunflower that Charles chose the third trial task regardless of the difficulty of the trial.
Just kidding, the Zaruk Witch is a creator race, and the Snake Man is the experimental product of the Witch, if you choose to fight against a snake man professional at the model level, and it is also the ancient snake man with the most witch bloodline in the first generation, Charles feels that the outcome of the battle is difficult to predict.
And the second, not to mention killing the Scales.
The Scaly Descendant is a derivative of the Witch, which is closest to the Witch in terms of bloodline and various abilities, and is much more terrifying than the Ancient Snake People.
To a large extent, one-on-one battles are fought to understand each other, simply put, to know oneself and know each other. A four-ring mage, if he can do it by surprise, may not be able to kill the five-ring mage.
As for the young demon sunflower, Charles dares to say that he has achieved the level of knowing himself and his opponent!
"Mayvis, [Dismantle the Magic]!"
Charles held the relict crossbow in one hand and the emblem in the other.
A stream of magical energy poured out through his body, and the magic aura on the young demon sunflower was suddenly cut down.
【Magic Clear】*2!
The second [Disarming Magic] is thrown by Charles himself holding the emblem.
The baby demon sunflower dropped 2 four-ring protection spells. Charles's initial estimate was that his [Removal of Magic] had failed, and Mayvis's spell had been tested to remove Demon Kui's [Stone Skin].
"This is a good start......"
The cave is very large, and after removing the two protective methods of the demon sunflower, Charles did not close the distance to close the hand-to-hand combat, but turned around and ran away, at least more than 30 meters away, and then picked up the holy relic light crossbow, "Eat me 3 fireball arrows first!" ”
[Revenge of the Flames]!
The light crossbow body immediately emitted a dazzling firelight, this 'flame thrower' fired out all energy arrows, there was no need for Charles to manually reload the light crossbow, the frequency of archery was surprisingly high, and in one breath, 3 flame crossbow bolts hit the demon sunflower body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This is followed by a triple burst of explosions that act like three fireballs.
This is an energy arrow strike, not a non-magic technique.
Although Demon Kui's [Stone Skin Technique] shield has disappeared, a five-ring protective spell [Trigger Energy Resistance] is still there.
As the flames spread, a protective layer of aura was generated around Demon Kui, and the red flame was blocked and absorbed by the aura wall, and Demon Kui only suffered the initial explosion damage.
"92% HP."
The distance of more than thirty meters is not safe, and sure enough, when suffering a round of energy arrow blows from Charles, the young demon sunflower also made a fierce counterattack - [Land Burst Technique] (Four Rings)!
Bang.
The ground beneath Charles' feet cracked inch by inch, and pillars of lava and fire erupted from the cracks, and at this time, without the need for Charles to speak, the close-fitting Mithril Chain Mail emitted spell energy. Sensing that his body suddenly became lighter, a hint of joy flashed in Charles's eyes, and his feet immediately kicked on the ground, and the whole person rose into the air.
Flying at high speed to dodge the random eruption of lava fire in the spell area, however, the three-ring flying spell has limited maneuverability after all, and Charles was hit by a pillar of fire behind him, and his HP dropped by 30% in the blink of an eye.
"Nima, I made a mistake, Demon Kui is a warlock monster, I should first put some protective spells on myself to increase the survival rate, instead of using the protective spell against Demon Kui with disarming magic."
Obviously, Mo Kui's damage output ability is much more terrifying than him, but just being sprayed by a pillar of fire, Charles is a little unbearable.
He staggered through the air, but at this time, Mo Kui silently used other spells.
[High Shadow Tentacles] (Five Rings)!
In the dark cavern, tentacles that blend with the environment suddenly appear.
Charles was stunned in the air, and the large number of tentacles instantly tied him into rice dumplings, and the tentacles tightened more and more, and soon the bones of his limbs crackled with overload.
HP continues to drop.
Moreover, the Void Body Tentacles simply ignored the muscular strength of his body, and Charr's 25 strength attribute was completely unhelpful at this time, and there was a punch on the cotton ball.
"[Vaporize Form]!"
The soul of the silver dragon residing in the legendary chain mail immediately had a countermeasure.
Spell aura emerged from the silver armor, and if other players were here, they would find that Charles and his equipment had turned into a transparent mist, and the phantom tentacles, which were also in the form of virtual bodies, suddenly lost their binding target.
"I suggest you give up this trial first!" Mei Weisi said, "To deal with the Demon Kui, you must take the lead, and you must form an absolute suppression, otherwise the Demon Kui's spell will make you breathless!" ”
“…… Not desperate yet! ”
"Let's fight first!"
Charles laughed, and after the vaporization was lifted, he landed on the ground and held up the shining emblem alof, "[Otherworldly Covenant・Fairy Wilds]! ”
"[Level 5 Monster Summoning Technique]!"
A teleportation light array suddenly appeared on the left and right.
The green-haired elf girl jumped out with a longbow in hand, followed by a leprechaun hound.
"I smell evil......"
"I hate killing, but, against such pure evil, I will abandon all mercy and mercy and end it at all costs!"
A noble celestial humanoid, with a giant sword, slowly approached. (To be continued.) )
