Chapter 206: Darkness Descends (Part 1)
Darker is a man on the mystical side, and of course he knows that there are real mages in this world. It's not a shortcut like him, it's a real magician. In fact, Duck once pursued true magic. But he was not recognized by the wizarding world. In the end, I chose this off-the-beaten-path in a fit of rage.
"Who are you? What do you want? "Duck has sensed the problem. The person in front of him was obviously not something he could fight against. So he can only try to communicate. Lin Xuan didn't do it directly, which gave Duck a glimmer of hope.
"Do you know what power you're using?"
Lin Xuan ignored Duck's question, and just opened his mouth to ask a rhetorical question.
"A devout Buddha statue that makes a connection through blood and draws strength through death."
"And where does that power come from?"
"Power in the net, isn't it?" Lin Xuan's question made Duck feel a little weak.
"Hehe, the power in the magic net?"
With a wave of his right hand, the Buddha statue in the safe a hundred meters away directly broke open the safe and flew here. It's just that at the moment of facing Lin Xuan, something changed happened. The Buddha statue seemed to sense something and began to struggle hard.
"Interesting, it looks the same as I thought. It's all on this, don't you come out to meet? With a slam grip on his right hand, the furious magic frantically squeezed into the middle. In an instant, several cracks appeared on the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue erupted with amazing power in Dark's astonished gaze. At the same time, a monster image composed of a black mist also appeared around the Buddha statue. It was a typical image of a Western demon, with two horns on his head, red eyes, and the smell of sulfur filling the hall, all indicating his identity.
"A little devil who has become a climate. You have provided him with a lot of vitality over the years. ”
"What?" 、
"As long as you kill someone with the power given to you by the Buddha statue, the demon will gain the vitality of the person who was killed. Over time, it will become stronger and stronger. Now try your so-called power. ”
Duck was startled when he heard this, he had already felt it just now. The original abundant magic in his body is gone.
"Why is this happening?"
"As long as you kill and die, you can continue to gain power. It's not impossible, but at least it would be Hades, or Anubis or something. Just with a Buddha statue, you don't think it's too much of a. ”
"And what about my power?"
"You've never had power. It's just that the demon briefly infuses you with some magic when you need it. As long as he wants, he can naturally take it back at any time. Am I right? Mr. Demon. ”
"Wizard, I have no intention of being your enemy, let me go, I can fulfill one of your wishes."
"You're treating me like an apprentice. Do you think I can't tell the difference between a devil and a devil? What can you wish for, without this Buddha statue, you can't even intervene in the grass and trees of this world. ”
The demon knew that he couldn't deceive Lin Xuan, so he immediately tore off his disguise. At the same time, Duck only felt a powerful force appear in him. A looming voice rang in his ears.
"Help me kill the person in front of me, and I will give you real strength."
Duck's expression moved, but then he relaxed again. I saw that he gathered his strength, and then hit the Buddha statue directly. He already knew that his power actually came from the demons in front of him. In other words, the sum of the strength of the two of them will not change. Since the Buddha statue can't deal with Lin Xuan, then there is no possibility for him to do the same. Duck is a smart guy who knows when to make a choice.
The demon in the Buddha statue let out an angry roar, but to no avail. Even he could control it from being hurt by his own strength. But the miserable green flame in Lin Xuan's hand still made it shudder. Just look at it and you know. As long as you stick to the slightest bit, you will die. He is now in a spirit state, and that flame is undoubtedly the nemesis of the spirit.
"Spare me, I can serve you as Lord for a thousand years." The demon began to try to relent, but it was too late.
"Look, that's what it looks like to negotiate conditions. It's just that I don't have the slightest affection for a demon who just took me for a fool. So......" As soon as the words fell, a miserable green flame had swept in. The demon didn't even have time for a second wave of begs for mercy before it was reduced to nothing. Only a wisp of pure demonic power was gradually dissipating.
"How much control do you have over the hive?" Lin Xuan suddenly turned around and asked.
Duck was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and realized that he was asking. Hurriedly replied.
"Ninety percent of the armed forces are under my control, but most of the economic industry is in the hands of investors. But if necessary, I have complete control over their lives. Those people are now in a safe house underground. ”
"Very good, from today onwards, the hive works for me, is there a problem?"
"No, it's an honor to work for you." Darker nodded decisively without the slightest hesitation. The unknown wizard in front of him is obviously not a character who is easy to talk to. I guess as long as he says no, the appearance of that demon will be his end. Duck doesn't have the feeling of being addicted to being the boss, power is king in this world. Dak is well aware of this, which is why he uses devotional Buddha statues. He was a man who loved power over power.
"Very good, give you the first mission, take complete control of the hive. I don't want to see some mess pointing fingers at it. ”
"Understood. But it takes a lot of money to keep the hive running, and I don't have direct control over the assets in those people's names. It takes a lot of time. ”
"No, you'll have endless money, just do what you have to do. The city will be partially modified to expand the scale of the high-tech experimental area. Also, there is a meditation room dedicated to me. I use it sometimes. ”
As soon as Lin Xuan raised his hand, the demonic power that was dissipating was gathered by him. Directly entered into Duck's body.
"You've been associated with that demon for a long time. So it can perfectly carry its power. This is my salary in advance. The power will be there, as long as you work hard. From today onwards, Hive has only one mission, to collect for me those supernatural items that are circulating in this world. Any form can. Take care not to cause innocent casualties as much as possible. There are so many things hidden in this world that you can't handle. ”
More than a dozen tons of gold suddenly appeared in the hall, accompanied by Lin Xuan's last voice.
"This is the upfront start-up capital, let's get to work."
When Duck raised his head, Lin Xuan was already missing in front of him. Duck wiped the sweat from his face. In just ten minutes of contact, Duck only felt that there was an invisible mountain pressing on his chest. It wasn't until there was that extra demonic power in his body that the feeling of pressure eased slightly.
Duck carefully felt the power in his body, and the feeling of fullness was far stronger than the power given by the Buddha statue before. This is the power of this true life that belongs to him. It also rekindled certain thoughts in his heart.
Lin Xuan left in a hurry, and some things hadn't even been explained clearly. But there was no time left, for in the far east, a breath of violence and destruction was rising.
