Chapter 49: The Grave Demon 3
"Good luck. Stephen said to himself as he looked at the battlefield in the distance.
To deal with monsters like the Grave Demon, their team size is just right, because they are all ranged spellcasters, and the Corpse Demon happens to be completely restrained by melee professionals. Because its grappling and devouring ability must be launched at close range, the special abilities of the corpse demon are not very many, and the two most powerful are grappling and devouring and blasphemy, but they are both small-scale attack abilities, and it is difficult to threaten long-range wizards.
The scariest time for the Necro Demon was when he appeared on the battlefield and in the graveyard, and at that time even Stephen didn't have much to do with it.
Because at that time, the corpse demon had a steady stream of corpses to replenish, and the characteristic of devouring the soul binding could allow it to quickly recover itself, especially if there were a large number of mortal armies on the battlefield, then the corpse demon really couldn't be killed, and Stephen would be able to hit it into a state of serious injury at most even if he ran out of mana, and he could fully recover in half an hour at most. This kind of monster can only be restrained by a specific profession.,In some environments, it's close to invincible.,Fortunately, the probability of their appearance is very low.,Otherwise, it's a terrible disaster.。
The most important thing to do with the Grave Demon is to cut off supplies, and there should be no corpses nearby that can be eaten by it.
It's not a graveyard or a battlefield, and it's good for Stephen to fight.
Otherwise, even if they dealt with this corpse demon near an ordinary graveyard, the damage that Stephen and his party needed to deal would probably have to increase by more than 50%.
Roar, roar, roar!
A series of zombie roars rang out, and these blue-gray mutant zombies quickly pounced on the others, their speed was not at all clumsy like ordinary zombies, but they also had a weakness, that is, they could only move around the area where the corpse demon died, and the range was about half a kilometer.
If you change to a ranged professional with patience, you can also grind these mutated zombies to death little by little, because they only have moderate regeneration ability in this area.
The effects of the Desecration are still there.
However, Stephen obviously didn't want to waste time, and the members of the team were all good, so it was easy for everyone to share the fight against these zombies. If it weren't for the fear of wasting time to attract other monsters, the Void Master alone could destroy these mutated zombies.
The other side.
Eyer-Akasha had flown to Stephen's neighborhood with the dark wizard in his arms.
Stephen was preparing a spell when he turned his head to look at the Insight-Akasha and motioned for her to deal with the wizard later, then lowered his head and continued to inscribe something on a pure gem in his hand. The girl next to her, Hagi, couldn't help but widen her eyes with curiosity, because she saw many strange silver-white silk threads floating on Stephen's fingertips, and these silver-white silk threads turned into magical runes and imprinted into the inside of the gem.
The battle was soon coming to an end.
With an average of two or three mutated zombies per person, the resurrected corpses in the Desecration were quickly dealt with.
After death, the corpse demon can split out 30-60 mutant zombies, and the corpse demon in front of him is a variant of the super-large size, generally speaking, the larger the size, the more zombies will be split after death.
Stephen also raised his head at this time, he glanced at the battlefield, and the red gem in his palm suddenly levitated, turning into a bright light and flying out!
- "Spell Expansion!"
- "Soulbinding!" (Gem Spell)
Rumble!
The whole heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and then countless terrible howls rang out, and thousands of souls appeared in front of them in the desecrated land where the corpse demon died. The geists continued to emerge from the Dirty Lands, hazy phantoms flying in the sky, some of them thanking Stephen for a little of their sanity, while others were completely unconscious and the frenzied flutter finally dissipated before their eyes.
These are the souls that have been devoured by the corpse demons.
Because of the Soul Eater nature of the Grave Demon, if it does not die, these souls will never be able to escape, and they can only live forever and be imprisoned in the body of the Corpse Demon for eternity. Generally speaking, the private rule of adventurers is that when they encounter these monsters that will devour and imprison souls, they can solve them as much as possible, and at the same time give those dead souls a relief.
Stephen has also been an adventurer for a while, and the reason for his decisive action is also partly part.
Bite!
Gray soul crystals appeared in front of him.
Almost every dead mutant zombie had a soul spar on its body, and the most obvious of them was a pure black soul spar, and Stephen couldn't help frowning just by looking at it, because there was also a dark golden light that was invisible to the naked eye.
- The power of divinity (blasphemy)!
This dark golden glow was a divine power tainted by blasphemy, and it exuded a hint of death that made one feel palpably uneasy.
- "Divinity Drain!"
After seeing that the void master next to him had no idea of making a move, Stephen directly reached out and grabbed it, and this dark golden divine power was instantly drawn by him, it swam away like a restless snake, but it could not escape Stephen's palm at all, and was finally extracted by him and integrated into his body.
In a flash.
Stephen's face became a little paler, and the life aura on his body quickly weakened a little, but fortunately, he gradually recovered.
This is the divine power that comes from the sins of God.
Although Stephen absorbed it, it did not fuse, this divine power must be purified before it can be fully fused, it is very difficult for mortals to fuse divine power, and Stephen's efficiency in absorbing divinity is already very top-notch. He can fuse and absorb 1 point of divinity in about half a year, and his speed is almost comparable to that of many demigods.
"Two pieces per person. Clean up the battlefield. Stephen waved his hand lightly and said lightly.
With a casual wave of Stephen's hand, those soul crystals suspended in mid-air flew out and fell directly into the palms of those wizards. The system of the Five Ring Tower has never had the habit of eating alone, and it has also made a lot of efforts to deal with these people as corpse demons, and Stephen naturally can't eat alone, he put away the pure black soul spar in the center, and then distributed the soul spars of those mutated zombies to others with a wave of his hand.
- "Devouring Essence of the Grave Demon!" [Legendary Soul Crystal]
The soul hedron left behind by the corpse demon is not something that these people can control, even Stephen must be purified before he can use it.
The power of this soul hedron is very powerful!
According to Stephen's estimates, it could easily make a legendary-level magic item, and could even be used as the main material for an artifact.
"I didn't think there was such a difficult monster to deal with here!" said the Void Master as he walked up to Stephen's side.
Stephen nodded and didn't speak.
The challenge level of this misty continent is indeed very high, if the average challenge level of the Barren Land is 1, then the average challenge level of the Garo Continent is 3, the average challenge level of the Black Sea is 5, and the average challenge level here may reach 10+!
There are many very dangerous monsters on this continent!
The planet of Motella is special, although it does not have the existence of gods, it is a little easier to obtain divine power than other places.
Because the world with gods is very concerned about those creatures with divinity, such as Quetzalcoatl, many gods in the good camp will try to subdue them, just like players like to collect mythical beasts when playing games. And the same monsters like the Grave Demon are the favorite of evil gods, especially the death system, and even the undead monarch above the demigod will try to dominate the Corpse Demon. Generally speaking, the world with gods has been divided up by high-level forces, and it may be that a divine unicorn will be targeted by several weak gods at the same time, and it is definitely not like Motela has a lot of divine species for Stephen to meet.
The easiest way for such a world to gain divinity is to serve the gods and become their chosen people, but Stephen could not have been a chosen people.
Basically powerful wizards are reluctant to become the chosen people of the gods, as this would end their path forward. Although becoming a chosen person can quickly obtain incomparable power, it also means that you are limited by the gods, and there must be a price to pay for using power that does not belong to you, and the final outcome of the existence of the elect is to be incorporated into the kingdom of God by the gods.
Outside the battlefield.
Stephen's gaze fell on the wizard who was being chased by the corpse demon, and he just glanced at it and couldn't help frowning, "Dark wizard?"
There's even a dark wizard here.
Stephen waved his hand lightly, and then the dark wizard's hood was taken off, and a somewhat young and immature face appeared in front of him, his face was slightly pale, revealing a trace of sickness, exuding the aura of a necromancer, he didn't look young, it was estimated that he was less than twenty years old, but he was already close to the level of a high-level wizard, and the other party's appearance was clear, but he had a big bald head shaved on his head. For his age, it was really surprising to have this strength, basically only a genius-level person could become a high-level wizard at such a young age.
"The people of the Shadow Tower?" Stephen grabbed a special emblem with a hand.
He said slowly, "What's your name?"
The young dark wizard in front of him looked a little frightened, hesitated when he heard this, and whispered, "Aiden!"
He speaks with an accent close to the Black Coast region, but with a hint of the Rainbow Sea dialect.
"How did a dark wizard end up here, and how did you end up on this continent?" said a high-ranking wizard from the astrological platform next to Stephen.
All of them had traveled long distances and hardships to get here.
If it weren't for the floatship, they wouldn't have been able to cross the Endless Sea at all, but the strength of the dark wizard in front of them was at most high-level, and it was impossible for them to come to this place.
It won't be easy to deal with those mad ghouls with his strength.
"I ...... I ......" The slightly immature dark wizard in front of him wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time and did not speak, as if he did not know how to explain his appearance.
A man who has reached the level of a high-level wizard at a young age.
He may not be even twenty years old, and such a talent would be greatly valued even in the Fifth Ring Tower, let alone in a place like the Yin Soul Tower. The dark wizards would definitely cultivate him as a core disciple, it was impossible to put him in such a dangerous place, and besides, the people of the Yin Soul Tower had not stretched out their hands so far.
"Search!" Stephen said calmly.
The strength of this young man in front of him is a bit strange, although his mana is very strong, he can't control it at all, as if he has been forcibly raised to the level of a high-level wizard. What's more, the Grave Demon has been chasing him all the way, if it weren't for Stephen's last spell that made the Grave Demon feel the threat of death, I'm afraid that the monster would have been chasing and killing him.
There's definitely something very important about him!
"No...... Don't ......" The young dark wizard in front of him suddenly became nervous.
But it's a pity that his resistance is useless at all, the people standing next to him are all bigwigs, and any one who stands up can hang him with one hand and press him to the ground to rub and rub the existence.
Whoa!
As a high-ranking wizard from the astrological platform finished searching, a large handful of things were taken out of the dark wizard's storage bag in front of him.
A small pile of gold.
It's hard to count, but it should weigh about half a ton.
Hundreds of gemstones.
The quality looks excellent, with more than a dozen diamonds, and three special magic gemstones.
Dozens of soul crystals.
Basically, they are all above the intermediate level, there are more than a dozen large soul crystals, and finally a light gray legendary quality soul crystal was found.
More than a dozen pieces of magical equipment.
Mainly all kinds of protective jewelry and protective rings, which look more advanced.
There are a few other miscellaneous things.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the thing that was hidden in the deepest part by the dark wizard in front of him fell, and the other people present couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw it, because what appeared in front of them was a strange golden leg bone!
A leg bone that appears to be made entirely of gold.
It is almost identical in appearance to a human leg bone, belonging to the left leg bone of a human being, but the weight is quite heavy, and at the same time exudes a very special energy fluctuation.
Airplanes!
An invisible special barrier spreads out.
The strange golden leg bone appeared in Stephen's palm in an instant, and he appeared in front of the dark wizard almost teleportingly, picked it up directly with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you find this thing? Who told you to come here?"
"Where is he?"
Seeing Stephen's somewhat strange behavior, the Void Master couldn't help but show an inquiring look on his face.
Stephen gently put down the somewhat stunned dark wizard in front of him, turned to look at the Void Master, and said with a deep gaze: "Demigod Lich ......"
