Chapter 107: Sub-Artifacts and Gambling

Kalokhin. Minn, the reign of Emperor Dassos. Minn's own uncle, the former Emperor Cloven. Min's younger brother, born to the same mother, won his trust, as a mage, not only the chief of the court mages, but also the top three generals of the Orlan military, and in his later years, the old emperor even handed over the floating fleet to him.

But in fact, Kalokhin has never been convinced of his brother, he helped Clovin in the battle for the throne of the previous generation, just because the two were born to the same mother, and if he didn't help his closest brother to seize the throne, he would wait to be killed by other princes, but in fact, as the first day of the previous royal family, his emperor dream has never been extinguished.

Even, in order to gain power, when he was young, he went incognito to the terrible Siro Empire to learn necromancy, and once worshipped under the third archon Banshee King Heloise, specializing in instant death magic.

Yes, he is a Legendary-level Flame Archmage on the surface, but in fact he is also a Saint-level necromancer.

It is not for nothing that undead magic is regarded as evil, except for the disadvantages of disturbing the dead, this kind of evil magic can be used to sacrifice the living and devour flesh and soul to increase power, and with the crazy increase of strength, one's own mind often lags behind, but it is often corroded by the power that exceeds its own bearing, and there will be changes in all aspects.

For example, necromancers are notoriously not treating people as human beings, and the later they go, the more indifferent they are to life and death, the more demonic warlocks and soul snatchers are less like people in the later stages, and it is daily to look at other people's souls and drool, and blood mages are more vampires than vampires after reaching the bloodthirsty stage, and looking at people is like looking at food. The words of the evil god priest who got his power from the evil god. The later you go, the more fanatical you become. He has long lost himself and become a puppet of the evil god.

Of course, you can also come step by step, digest it slowly, and completely turn this partial power into a magic sword in your hand, instead of being affected by the magic sword, but for some people, if you want to follow it step by step. What kind of "evil" magic is practiced, and the side effect of the effect on the mind is completely acceptable.

And the most alluring thing about these non-mainstream magic is that it is easy to achieve "immortality", although this immortality is mostly something extra.

For example, necromancers, if they don't encounter an "accident", even if they don't have enough level to become a lich in the end, it is not difficult to transform into a bone mage and a corpse witch, but for humans who are afraid of death and the unknown, sometimes the temptation of "immortality" is so difficult to resist, especially for careerists who aspire to the top.

Of course, if you cultivate normally to the top level, you can also get the opportunity of immortality. For example, heroic spirits and divine envoys, divine pets, but this kind of immortality still has a price. Although it seems to be noble and classy, it has actually become a servant and thug of the gods.

Kalokhin, who has reached immortality, has always been ambitious, but unfortunately, although his personal strength can be ignored, but the imperial brother Clovin has a deep political and military attainments, under his governance, the national strength of the Orlan Empire is thriving, and heroes are born in troubled times.

So Kalokhin, who has been suppressed, is obviously a saint-level archmage, but he pretends to be a legend, not to mention, he has also cultivated a large number of loyal subordinates in his many years of military career, and has controlled nearly thirty percent of the White Wolf Guards, just waiting for Cloven's rule to fail, he has already seen that his nephew Dasos is uneasy and kind, but instead helps him cover it up, as long as Dasos makes a move, maybe it will be the day when he fishes in troubled waters and ascends to the throne.

Luckily, or unfortunately, maybe Kalokhin was too good at disguising his loyal ministers, or maybe Clovin had seen his brother's ambitions and was worried that something would go wrong when he succeeded to the throne, so he accepted to be the commander-in-chief of the underwater base, and how could he miss it when he found the biggest hole card of the Orlan Empire, so when Dassault started, the ambitious uncle was trapped in the base and missed the opportunity.

Well, let's not mention that this ambitious unlucky guy is out for such a ridiculous reason, and what we are now facing is the last flame of a great careerist who has been preparing for decades.

"Die!"

As soon as the scepter was raised, the black power of death turned into ghostly fingers, and then shot at me.

"Finger of Instant Death? Not really! ”

The Finger of Death is an eight-ring necromancer that can only be mastered by a legendary necromancer, and to make him instantaneous, the difficulty is at least two rings, which is not something that a saint-level necromancer can do.

When death is on the verge of death, you just want to think about it and seek your own death? In fact, if this finger of death is directed at Diana, even the female knight with the legendary anti-demon skin will shudder, but if it is directed at me......

[Perfect Courage: Immunity to Fear, Instant Death, Talent Ability, the user is always in a state of high spirits, this effect can be shared with three teammates]

The full version of the pale justice is really worthy of the Holy Light Holy Sword on the side of the order, and the paladin is worthy of being an undead killer, and for the necromancer, it is a large number of lethal and fearful effects for the necromancer, but he is directly immune to these two effects, and he really doesn't give the necromancer a way to live.

Sure enough, the finger of death hit me, but the holy sword wrapped in golden holy light suddenly glowed, and the pitch-black death qi began to dissipate directly.

But after the death effect of the eight-ring magic was eliminated, the shock wave that transformed into the power of death was still not something that the bronze rookie could bear, and the ice armor directly burst open, and the impact force knocked me directly away.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and if it weren't for the ice armor equipped, with my current "fragile" body, I wouldn't have hung up directly.

"Life withers!"

Okay, this time it's not instantaneous, but a nine-ring holy rank magic is thrown out so unmoved, it's too outrageous, where is this saint-level mage, it's an epic archmage.

"Go!"

Sharing the aura of perfect courage in time didn t let the death breath that evaporate a qiΔ“ water and extract the life force play a dead effect, but even so, Diana was still knocked away and vomited blood, this time. The excellent protection of the full-body armor saved her.

The Lich is a clever choice of spell. Physically, vapor damage and death are the same. Diana's anti-demon skin doesn't do much.

"The Black Lord's breath of death! That's a sub-artifact! This is a necromancer's treasure. ”

The exclamation of the black cat on his shoulder told the reason, with this ancient demigod undead emperor's personal weapon, Kalokhin could throw the instant death type high ring spell so wildly, and the effect was so powerful.

I've spread my wings and soared in mid-air to avoid the opponent's spell lock, and when I look at it, I still feel like it's not good.

Kalokhin's guards had caught up, and the Death Knights' violent spear throwing was always a big problem. If we can't solve it quickly, I'm afraid that the beheading plan will fail, and Diana and I may be able to confess here.

And looking at Diana, who was struggling to get up, she knew that the nine-ring spell that had been amplified by the sub-artifact just now definitely hurt her a lot.

"Damn, this sub-artifact is too outrageous, how can you release the high-ring spell so quickly, is there no way to restrain him. Think about it, there are no perfect people in the world, think about it! ”

"Death breathing? The name is supposed to enhance the effects of instantaneous death-type spells, even with the Holy Sword's 'Perfect Courage'. But the impact of the power of death is still deadly, these years. Anyone who is not afraid of the power of death except the dead should have known that I should not be resurrected...... Wait, dead man? ”

Instantly, a ghost idea appeared in my options, and I laughed.

"Is there a way?"

"Of course, it's tradition!"

Finding that I couldn't lock on to the high-speed movement, Kalokhin's eyes were fixed on Diana, and the next moment, I swooped straight down.

"Foolish living, accept your doom."

Sure enough, a black inky ray shot over, it was the six-ring necromancy physical exhaustion.

The fact that the two high-ring instant death spells could not cause death made him wonder if there was a treasure on us that was immune to death, so he chose this spell.

Physical exhaustion inherits the tradition of necromancy to the home, which will make the recipient feel as if he has just run two marathons with a two-hundred-kilogram rice bag on his back, and the effect is particularly good for fighters who rely on physical strength to eat, known as melee killers, and if the weak person is hit, it is not impossible to die directly.

Seeing that the ray was too fast, I didn't have time to turn at all, and I was about to hit this black ray, Diana gritted her teeth and pounced, opening her hand, intending to try her luck with the anti-demon skin, and I ......

"Get out of the way!"

Without hesitation, I pushed the silly girl away and slammed into the ray myself.

"Ahhhh

And in the darkness of the light, I couldn't hold back my screams, and the next moment, I fell to the ground violently, rolling on the ground in pain, and even the golden wings began to disintegrate.

"Ha, sure enough, the living are stupid to go home, and they actually play ridiculous friendship games at this time...... What the! ”

"Destroy the Evil Slash!"

The place where he fell was less than five meters away from the lich, and he pretended to roll another two meters, and at this moment I suddenly burst up, and three meters jumped to the ground, and the pale justice of the holy sword slashed head-on with a deadly holy light, and he had no possibility of dodging.

"Bell!"

Even if the lich was directly pressed down by brute force, and the holy sword was actually blocked by the pitch-black short staff, could the sturdy basic attributes of the sub-artifact still be used like this?

The cyan soul fire in the lich's eyes burned violently, and judging by the continuous opening and closing of his jaw, he actually began to recite the Great Spell silently.

"Dead Black Nuclear Hell is coming."

The Dead Cat's rich knowledge of spells instantly recognized whether this was a forbidden spell of the epic of the Ten Rings, or a mass destruction spell of the undead and flames, as long as he completed this magic, the entire platform would turn into a crater of hell nuclear fire, and we would definitely not be spared, and he would naturally not be spared.

The Lich is a creature that can be resurrected again and again as long as the life box is not destroyed, and it is clear that Kalokhin, who has been forced to this point, is no longer sure of retreating, and he intends to die with us and then resurrect himself.

In fact, the reason why the lich is hated by adventurers is not only that it is difficult to deal with, but also because it is a bad problem that will end up at every turn

The sword and the staff intersected, close enough, and the skull was full of malicious intent, and even a little proud.

But, since you have been close to me, you still dare to hold a spell, is it a little too underestimating me.

"You want? Then. ”

So, without hesitation, I let go of my stalemate weapon and reached out to the lich's bewildered gaze.

"Look at my Flying Dragon!"

"Click." There was a crunch. The spell stopped. Because I've removed the lich's jaw.

"Aha! Let me give you a bath of bones. Let's do it again! Dragon Explorer! Dragon Explorer! ”

I opened the bow with both hands, left and right in a row, and then, the ribs went down directly, the hand bones were disassembled, and the vertebrae were also wiped off, and then I slapped and shook it, and the whole bone frame began to fall apart directly.

As a veteran lich. I can't remember how many times I've removed my bones for maintenance over the centuries, just as a veteran can tear a gun into parts with his eyes closed, or I can tear a skeleton back together with my eyes closed.

And when just ten seconds later, the lich Kalokhin was left with only a jawless skull, and then I did not hesitate to insert the holy sword into the soul fire inside the skull, and unexpectedly, the strange soul fluctuations dispersed, and we faintly heard a scream of pain from the depths of the soul.

"Alright. Burned to the soul fire by the Holy Flame, even if it is resurrected, it will take at least a few days. After calling it a day, the next step is to find his life box before he is resurrected. ”

It was indeed done, and when Kalokhin fell, the problem of the undead legion's over-reliance on the undead lord broke out again, and a large number of low-level undead who were directly controlled by his undead magic fell directly.

A few intelligent undead shouted the sneak attack slogans of "The Orlans don't fight the Orlans", "We are all forced, in fact, we are all good citizens", "Actually, I am your father", of course, the next moment after shouting the last slogan, he was beaten by the crowd.

"Pick them up, and then ask them where is the fatebox? Forget it, they can't know about this kind of thing, just ask where Kalokhin's room is? Now it's my favorite loot...... Ahem, crusade against evil time. ”

I had just smiled and put away the "Black Lord's Death Breath", but Diana suddenly pounced.

"You're all right, how did you make that evil magic work?"

"Hmph, what do you mean it didn't work? I've paid a terrible price, look! ”

I opened my collar, and there, there was a black cat with half of her body exposed, wrestling with my sturdy throat, she was biting, gnawing, and scratching, using her claws and teeth, but she could not break the skin, but when she saw me looking at her, she actually spat on me without hesitation.

"Look, Cat Shield!"

Dodging the non-threatening attack, I ripped her off, then shook her twice, and held it in my hand in a defensive stance, like a shield.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How could Mimi crotch this evil magic. ”

In the face of Diana's question, I pretended to smile mysteriously and did not answer, can I say that this dead cat looks cute, but in fact it is an "evil" undead creature? Well, in fact, this evil does not need to be put in quotation marks at all, if the banshee king Heloise is not evil, the world is full of saints.

Yes, the tradition I talked about before is the tradition of our pit master, and I thought at that time what a good meat shield Heloise is in the face of necromancers.

Heloise is now an undead slime, although there are some functional structures of the living, but it is still my undead creation, and what is the difference between using death magic on the undead and throwing fireballs at the fire elemental, in addition to making the other party more powerful, what is the effect.

So, after the "cat shield" blocked the body decay ray made of death magic, I actually had nothing to lose, and after the next performance, I went into the distance of a melee raid.

This is also the lack of experience in bullying the opponent, in my estimation, the high-ranking Kalokhin must have been safely cast under the protection of many guards for a long time, how could he have thought of this trick, and the result was not true.

"Woo woo, you rebels know how to bully the old lady! I know that you are not well-intentioned, and the old lady took you as a disciple because she was blind. Teacher, I finally know that you were in such a mood when I was stabbed, and now I have also been stabbed, or two apprentices are inserted together. The old lady will never teach her disciples again. Woooooo ”

Well, the only ones who were hurt were the frightened Heloise and her heartbroken educator.

"Don't pretend, if you have a good relationship with Kalokhin, why didn't you say it just now, you haven't been pitted by those disciples of you, most likely if the other party knew that it was you, and the water would be even more ruthless. Also, have you forgotten that the existence of the magic pet contract makes your true feelings impossible to hide from me. Is this little thing going to make you want to live or die? ”

All right. After being debunked by me. The next moment. To Diana's surprise, the dead cat immediately passed the rain, but her face was still unhappy.

"The sub-artifact scepter is for me to eat, I want to make this flesh stronger, I'm fed up with being a pet."

"Okay, sell me a cute, I'll give it to you if I'm satisfied."

The kitten smiled mysteriously,

"Meow. Master, will you give me that thick, black stick? Eth wants to eat the stick, please. Meow! ”

"Poof!" Well, I still underestimated the lower limit of the dead cat, and I just intended to tease her and let her turn her head twice to learn two dog barks, as soon as these words came out, I laughed on the spot, and Diana looked at me a little strangely.

This stupid girl believes whatever others say, and most of them treat me as a gentleman (change. state).

But. I was going to throw this sub-artifact to her, after all, bringing an undead sub-artifact in the human world would be a problem for myself. And when Heloise eats it, I think it will be more convenient to use.

"Well, can you think about it more, no matter how I am, I won't be in heat with a cat."

As soon as I explained, Heloise behind her had a wicked smile, and in a burst of distortion, she turned into a cute blonde elf girl, although she changed back to her original form in the next second, it was enough to make the legendary knight remember.

Undoubtedly, this is a revenge derived from the "cat shield".

"No wonder it's called the Gentlemen's Alliance, it turns out that you are also a great gentleman (change. Ah, how ...... you are to turn your cat into a girl?"

Well, I don't even need honorifics, it seems that this time the image is miserable enough.

"Actually, a gentleman is understandable, if you really can't stand it, in fact, you can consider Momo, although she always says it too much, but in fact she has always been a good girl, and she has always liked you."

"Excuse me! She definitely can't, that is, she definitely can't. ”

Diana's untimely matchmaking reminded me of the other day, when we selected the Aurora Knight, Momo, who is also a silver rank, also came to join in the fun.

"Is there anyone who will become a cute shota? It's an eight- or nine-year-old boy, Hehe, by the way, I have a portrait of little Rollo here, can you change one? ”

"Sister Shiva, help change one, for the sake of the person I just helped you block the arrows. After a while, a wave is enough, I seem to see little Rollo, and I can't beat that change. State. Woo woo, Mo Mo's life is so bitter. ”

Looking at Momo, who was pestering Shiva on the floating boat over there, in the end, Diana sighed helplessly.

"It's because she's getting weirder and weirder that I want to marry her off quickly."

"If you can't figure it out yourself, will you send it out to harm others? Diana, you've learned badly, too. However, I still want to thank you for the night raid alarm last night, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Hey, it's actually your fault, she's obviously normal in the past."

"I can blame it, it's her...... Well, it's all my fault. ”

At this time, I can't help but think of the weird title of "King of Gentlemen", what is a gentleman will take the initiative to join your ranks, I haven't met a few normal people along the way.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the hidden effect of the "King of Gentlemen", he will not only let the gentlemen take the initiative to join your camp, but also make the original ordinary people gentlemen, let the little gentleman become a big gentleman, let the big gentleman become a god gentleman, and let the god gentleman become the king of gentlemen! ――System prompt: You see how intimate I gave you the highest gentleman's honor at the beginning. 】

"Intimate your sister, you don't think there are enough gentlemen!" ――

While we were celebrating the victory at the underwater base, worrying about the increasingly strange gray elves, in the palace of the Oran Empire, His Majesty the Emperor was meeting an honored guest.

"Ha, with your help, what has the nine-headed stinky snake calculated, inform the ambassadors of all countries, and the succession ceremony will be held in advance, and it will be carried out together with the great cause of the lord to slay the dragon. We will go down in history together! ”

"Your Majesty is too famous, the old decay is just an old immortal with insufficient strength, and if you drive away the Nine-Headed Dragon Emperor, it will be basically impossible to kill it. God's task is also to get me to the point. ”

He was obviously a handsome young man, but he spoke like an old man's tone, and judging from the golden skin in his white skin and the faint aperture at the back of his head, he was not a mortal, but a heroic spirit under the seat of the true god.

And after some polite words, when Dassos sent the heroic spirit away, the arrogance and madness turned into a cautious look.

"'Dragon Slayer' Basra, when the opponent is a dragon, he will show mercy? Will it stop at the same time? It's just crazy, sending this murderous heroic spirit down to earth, is the Moon Goddess planning to fight the Storm Lady directly? Damn, get the legions all ready. If you don't do something good, it will get out of hand. ”

"Then you have to take the opportunity to hold a succession ceremony."

"You don't know how many ambassadors leave every day, Oran wants to become a superpower, he must form an alliance successfully, we are now riding a tiger, anyway, the ending can't be worse, it's better to gamble!" (To be continued......)

PS: I've been super busy at work in the past week, okay, I've already owed four outbreaks, and I'll rest tomorrow, so let's try to break out
