Chapter 433: Undead Creature
If the elemental users of the Terrans are called magicians, then the undead elemental users of the demons are called lichs.
There are two elemental lineages that the demons are most proficient in, one is the Secret Spell and the other is the Undead Spell.
The former kind of spell is as popular as Dou Qi among demon warriors, and all demon winged knights will use it.
Although this spell is dark magic, it is also a mental attack.
It does not harm the body, the scope of the damage is the soul.
It is somewhat similar to the spiritual shackles of Beamon's sacrifice.
The stronger the caster's mental power, the more damage the target will take, and it will be psychological.
The psychic impact of the Demon Winged Knight's mind is considered an instantaneous magic, shot out from the eyes, and after being hit, if the magic resistance and mental power are strong, it will not be damaged at all.
However, ordinary Terran soldiers who do not have mental strength or are not strong-willed, if they are hit by the impact of the heart, they will go crazy at best, and their heads will explode directly if they can't bear it.
Thousands of years ago, the commander of the Burning Legion, two Dreadlords joined forces to summon the Demonic Spell.
Using the Shadow Spell to summon an elemental storm that is like substance, all the elven soldiers who approach it will explode and die.
In addition to psychic shock, the spell also includes a summoning system, such as signing a contract with a nether creature and summoning a necromantic soldier.
The spell of passage is like the fighting spirit of human beings, and it belongs to one of the two uniques of the demon race.
And what the lich is best at is undead spells, they practice undead spells before their deaths, and eventually change their flesh and appearance to achieve the purpose of immortality, and can use black magic and necromancy to transform corpses into undead creatures.
Lichs have souls and retain most of their own memories, but the undead they summon or transform into have no souls, like walking corpses.
When the Burning Legion invaded the continent of Santa Cassis, whenever a demon or elf soldier died in a large area, the lich in the rear would appear, collect the corpse, and then resurrect the corpse into an undead creature by casting spells to continue the battle.
After resurrection, the undead creatures will retain most of their strength, but they will no longer have souls, and thus become war machines that only know how to kill.
Lichs have a near-immortal lifespan, as they use dark magic to resurrect themselves whenever their lives pass to the last moment.
The longer the lich lives, the more powerful it becomes, and the more corpses it can resurrect.
And with its strength, the Lich can even cobble together a tall undead war monster from many mutilated corpses.
Alan had always suspected that the Holy See's creation of the Templars was a form of dark magic similar to that of the Lich.
The reason why the Burning Legion was able to sweep away St. Cassis with an army of less than 100,000 was mainly because the lich had cobbled together an army of hundreds of thousands of undead for them, and at that time there was no Holy See, let alone a holy light spell.
A large part of the origin of the Holy Light spell is to deal with the undead.
The last time it invaded the continent of San Cassis, it was only a Burning Legion, with the highest cultivation, that is, the three major dreaddemon kings, including one of the ice kings, Amensol.
From the records in the ancient books, the king of the demon clan, the Lich King, and several demon lords did not appear.
In other words, the demon invasion of the San Cassis Continent is in the nature of playing tickets, and it is not real at all.
In the war between the Burning Legion and the Elves, it is the Lich of the Demon Race that plays a decisive role.
Alan knew that since the two lichs outside the city did not continue to hide their identities, it meant that they had a lot of certainty.
When you show up, you either run away or kill everyone.
Eren thinks that the two Lich Kings should belong to the latter, though he doesn't know why the two Lich Kings are so sure.
Sure enough, the two lichs began to move, their eyes turned blood-red like substance, and in a moment, the ground actually began to collapse, and then a corpse with rotting flesh crawled out.
Alan did not rush to order the warriors to attack, because those resurrected corpses, the target of the attack was those mercenaries.
At this time, Alan felt that he should know the other party's intentions, his eyes swept out of the city, and he frowned and said, "Sure enough, this side in the south of the city is a mass grave." ”
"Boss, I'll strike with Doom now, right?" Brad's expression was a little solemn.
At this time, the outside of the city was already in chaos, and many mercenaries were caught off guard by the legs of the dead bodies that crawled out and dragged directly into the ground, and after a while, more and more dead bodies crawled out, which was daunting.
There was a disgusting smell in the air.
After the initial panic, the mercenaries began to fight back.
The more Alan looked at it, the more he shook his head.
A ragtag army is a ragtag army, which will not occupy favorable terrain and will not form battle formations, they will all fight separately, and they will not be able to give full play to the advantage of numbers when they are crowded together.
Although the weapons and armor are relatively good, they don't have much fighting spirit.
Alan stopped Brad and said, "It's not that you don't want to save them, don't forget that Blackjack is still hiding in the shadows, if you rashly attack two lichs, do you have a chance of winning?" ”
"I didn't know until I fought it, I don't believe that two lichs can still deal with our two fourth-order dragon clans?" Brad was also a little unconfident after speaking.
Alan didn't make a sound, but gestured out of the city.
I saw that the dead bodies that had been chopped down by the mercenaries, even if the bones on their bodies were torn apart, would stand up after piecing them together, pounce and bite as if they were crazy.
Brad gasped.
Although I haven't fought with the lich, but now that I have entered the realm and can't perform an elemental attack, it is equivalent to cutting off an arm, and if you want to fight with strong physical power to destroy so many undead creatures, the possibility is very small, after all, those converted undead creatures, as long as they are not completely wiped out into dust, can assemble the bones again after a moment and continue to fight.
Without an elemental attack, it is impossible to spew dragon flames, and it is impossible to completely destroy these undead creatures.
What the mercenaries fear the most is that if they are injured by these dead corpses, even if they are only slightly bitten on the skin, after a few moments, the skin of the body will fall off, and eventually they will also become undead creatures.
Cana's face was a little pale, and she covered her mouth in horror.
Although she has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, such a battle scene still makes people's scalp tingle.
The morale of the mercenaries is getting lower and lower, and seeing that more and more of their companions have turned into carrion and started to attack them, many of them have thrown away their weapons and turned around.
It's a pity that the two lichs floating in the air began to cast spells again, and a cold wind blew, and the mercenaries who had just been transformed into undead creatures had a green magical element symbol floating in their empty eye sockets, and their two palms were actually holding two ghost fires.
"Necromancer!" Brad's expression changed drastically: "Actually turned the dead corpse into a necromancer, these are two great lichs!" ”
Alan didn't know what a Great Lich was, but he knew that the guy who could turn a broken skeleton into an undead creature that could cast spells was certainly not something a warrior could deal with.
The ghost fire condensed in the palms of these necromancers is scattered everywhere, but if they are touched by this green ghost fire, then they will not escape its doom even if they just rub the edges, and after the miserable green light is bubbled all over their bodies, they will also be assimilated into necromancers.
Fan Dekai, who was standing beside Allen, was dead, his legs were shaking like something, he wanted to turn around and run, but he didn't dare.
"Go down and guard the gates, all warriors, and go and tell the inhabitants of the city to flee through the north gate." Alan shook his head and smiled bitterly, I hope Blackjack didn't send a lich to guard the north gate.
Two lichs floating in the air began to approach the city.
At this time, only Alan and two dragons were left in the city, namely Doom and Brad, plus a scared Van der Kay.
Seeing two lichs surging with ice power flying over, Van Dekai subconsciously took a few steps back.
Alan grabbed Fan Dekai's shoulders and pressed them in front of the tower, and said lightly: "This is the consequence of doing something wrong, do you think that if I release those mercenaries, they will really die?" Greedy fools! ”
Tears welled up in Vanderkay's eyes, among the thousands of mercenaries outside the city, all of whom had been with him for many years of life and death, and now they all died unjustly because of their greed.
He knew that Alan was right, but what could he do, he used to think that he was still a tyrant who stomped on the ground and trembled.
As a result, now there is a sudden helplessness and sadness of a little person in my heart.
Breaking free of Allen's arm gripping his shoulder, Van der Kay looked at the two lichs and shouted, "Why me, why my mercenaries?" You know they can't stop the Bloodhoof Tribe! ”
A lich on the left smiled and said, "Because we need corpses, a large number of corpses, we will establish a kingdom of death in the southern hinterland of the continent of San Cassis, and these mercenaries are the first sinners of the kingdom of death!" ”
The lich on the right looked at Eren and said, "Children of Chaos, everything is because of you, and that's what brought you here!" ”
Alan knew that by now, he finally understood what Black Jack had in mind.
Thousands of mercenaries, the corpses crawling out of the mass graves are transformed into undead creatures, and then they begin to snowball around the city, and finally cobble together an army of the undead.
I see, those space-time rifts don't matter at all, maybe they don't matter now.
The plan of the Ice King Amensol is to defeat the various races on the continent from within.
Perhaps when the demon army descends on the Saint Cassis continent again, this continent has already become a paradise for undead creatures.
Not only did Alan understand, but Brad also understood at this time, and said anxiously: "Let's make a move, if you don't make a move, even if an undead creature escapes, it will be a disaster for the human race."
Alan stopped Brad with his eyes again, looked at the lich and asked, "It is recorded in the books of the Holy See that this kind of undead transformation circle will take a long time. ”
"Yes." The Lich Rakin laughed and said, "Lord Amensol's domain power, combined with the undead transformation circle of the two of us, without the Terran elemental users, even sending a large number of Terran legions will not help, it will only make more and more undead converted." ”
"Oh, that's right, hehe, you guys have a good plan." Alan asked curiously, "When the two clans were fighting, there were more corpses on the Savage Ancient Plains, why didn't you go there and pick up ready-made ones?" ”
"Joke, there are so many magicians and priests there, and casting a spell will only disrupt Lord Amensol's plans."
Alan nodded heavily, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and looked at the city gate again, at this time, the mercenaries who were still able to stand on the ground to resist these dead creatures were just a dozen people desperately resisting, and they were also fighting warriors.
But even so, being assimilated into an undead creature is only a fleeting thing.
The horror of necromancy can be seen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 4,000 mercenaries were transformed into undead creatures in an instant.
"Son of Chaos, I don't mind delaying with you for some time, but the reinforcements you were expecting seem to be running out of their own."
"Handsome old man?!" Alan's eyes jumped.
"Yes, do you think that Lord Amensol doesn't know what Monrosa has in mind, but don't worry, after dealing with Monrosa and the two magicians under your command, Lord Amensol will come to look for you."
"Do it!" Alan pulled out his hand. The crossbow was shot at one of the lichs.
Destruction and Brad also jumped out of the city, instantly regaining the battle posture of the dragon body.
Fan Dekai almost knelt down, it turned out to be two fourth-order dragons!
The two lichs were already on guard, and instantly summoned four Nether Shields, and their bodies flew backwards.
And the hundreds of thousands of necromancers on the ground also threw the ghost fire in their hands at the two giant dragons in the air.
Even the two dragons with super magic resistance were instantly hit by hundreds of single spells full of negative energy, which were also a little difficult, and the two flesh wings were a little sluggish when they were obviously inciting.
