Chapter 268 The Lich Breaks Through the Shackles
"Avalon, the vast ocean world; There is a book that says that the kingdom was built on the bottom of the sea, and that the beautiful priestesses were all mermaids, who could turn their tails into human legs, and who could reproduce with humans, and now there are their descendants on the continent. â
Uncle Black Knife said embarrassedly:
"Of course, it's still a storybook...... I got it from a little sister with a lollipop. â
âŚâŚ Where did you come from, perverted.
Hearing this, Xia felt a little sweaty.
"The deep sea demon you are talking about, isn't it that octopus monster with many eyes?"
She remembered what the little Lori in black had said to herself.
"That's right...... A giant monster that even a god shuddeles, and it can eat demons and dragons like fish in water, click! Just bite it in two. â
Maurius opened his mouth wide and made a gesture to bite something off:
"If this thing is eyeing the Eternal Kingdom, then even the goddess of water will be helpless, this is my opinion on this matter."
"Either way, Avalon is just a legend."
Xia Shen groaned:
"But it's very likely that the Wendini Kingdom you mentioned is real, and I need to find a place to check the information about it."
"Exactly."
Maurius said:
"I'm also going to a nearby big city to inquire about someone, and that's my next assignment."
"Are you going to kill someone?"
Natsu glared at him.
She had received similar assassination commissions. But she didn't go next.
"I rarely take on that kind of assignment unless they have a reason I think I should kill, and I happen to be free; There are special people in the organization to do the murder. â
Maurius shook his head and said:
"I'm just looking for a girl...... The other party demanded that she be captured alive. It's not that I want to kill her. â
He suddenly stared at Natsu's long black hair and ruby eyes, and said with a smile:
"A beautiful head of silver hair, dark pupils, cold eyes and face, amazingly beautiful; The strength is about the realm of the Sword King, and he is good at using a long sword and a black long knife...... If it weren't for the fact that your appearance is much different from you, and you are not human. I thought she was standing right in front of me. â
"Master, he's looking for you just like that bad priest!"
The black-clothed little Lori said nervously.
"Don't care. My transformation can last for a month, and now there are still a few days left, and then I will find a reason to separate from him. â
Although Xia was surprised by the other party's words, he thought that this organization would accept almost any commission. I didn't feel strange in my heart.
"Oh?"
A meaningful smile appeared on her face:
"If it's really me, will you arrest me?"
"Of course not."
Uncle Underworld replied briskly:
"I'm not going to do anything to my fellow soldiers...... Or rather, friends? â
His eyes didn't look like he was joking, but showed a serious look:
"Missions are missions, and although you can get money and shut up those chattering guys, this is the most important thing."
He patted his heart.
"I hope you remember what you're saying now."
Natsu didn't mean to reveal her identity, and after saying this, she turned her head to look around and saw that it was the top of a hill. The view is very open, and the surrounding scenery is unobstructed; Dark clouds and lightning could be faintly seen due north, and it seemed that the knight was still lingering nearby. And not far away.
"Tweet ......"
The white chirping bird had eaten some wild vegetables and fruits and lay down on the ground, looking very uncomfortable.
It chased its benefactor for 17 days without food and water, and now it has reached the point where it runs out of oil and lamps, and it is not enough to eat some food.
"Maurius, give way."
Natsu wanted to get the bucket behind him.
Then he suddenly remembered the rule of never giving way to people, so he avoided him and walked aside.
Unexpectedly, the uncle moved his body away with a smile:
"Do you want to get a bucket to help it heal? What a kind young lady, I like you more and more. â
ââŚâŚ Didn't you give way to people? â
Natsu looked at him and wondered.
"The most important point in my code of conduct!"
Uncle Black Knife pointed to his heart and said:
"As long as I want. Anything can be done. â
Speaking of this, his gaze deepened:
"Anything."
Xia suddenly felt that his honest face had become a little dangerous, and knew that this madness had flareed up again, shook his head, and walked over to lift the bucket.
"Chirp, tweet!"
Xia first cast a water-based healing spell on the chirping bird, and the big white bird immediately became energetic.
"Don't move yet, you have too many dark wounds on your body, and they can't be healed in a short time."
She patted the chirp on the head and saw that the guy was quite noisy.
"I'll leave the food to me, there's a small river over there, and there should be fish and shrimp in it that haven't been polluted by rainwater, and I'm a good hand at catching fish."
Uncle Black Knife regained his usual demeanor, jumped down the hill with the knife in his hand, and walked towards the river.
Seeing him walk away, Xia lowered his head and bit his fingers, dripped them into the vial that the little Lori in black had prepared a long time ago, then poured out some of the water in the bucket, and then dripped a little dragon blood into the vial, and fed the bottle to the white bird.
This is the discovery of the vampire Wendy, whose blood can neutralize the domineering dragon blood, turning it into a slowly volatile medicine that is even more effective than alchemy; It's a great way to restore weak objects.
At first, Shiratori was a little afraid of the power contained in the dragon's blood, and did not dare to approach the bottle, so he avoided it from a distance.
But then the smell of the bottle made its eyes widen, and it took the initiative to lean over and smell it. Finally, he hesitantly drank the bottle.
"Bang-"
As soon as it finished drinking, its body shook twice and fell to the ground like drunkenness.
This is not the first time Xia has seen this situation. She leaned over it and listened to its heartbeat, then cast a sleeping spell with her magic and took a blanket to cover it.
"Master, is it all right?"
The little Lori in black still has a very good impression of this bird, and she doesn't want it to die like this.
"It's not that fast, it's at least a day."
Xia felt that his spirit was still a little sluggish, so he sat on the ground and began to meditate.
"If that guy is nearby. The elements in the air will become abnormally disordered. â
She found that the effect of meditation was very bad, and she had to switch from sitting to lying down. I closed my eyes and rested.
"Fei Nanxi, how are the five black spirit knights?"
She asked the lich in a soul teleportation.
"There is a very broken body that will take about three days to recover, and I have sent it to a place full of the breath of the underworld; The other four are fine. It's just that I used a spell to stimulate my potential during the battle, and I may be weak for a while, but the recovery speed of the black spirit is very fast, please rest assured. â
"I ask you, how long would you hold out if I asked you to lead five intact Black Spirit Knights into a head-to-head battle with that thing?"
"Is it to delay the time or to find a way to kill it? Master. â
The lich asked carefully.
"Of course, it's stalling...... How, can you think of a way to kill it? I don't think you can break your defenses at all. â
Xia accidentally took out the game terms again.
"It should still be possible to break the defense, but I need to chant battle-level spells, which will take a lot of time and materials."
"You think you can hurt it?"
Natsu sat up from the ground all of a sudden.
"Great hosts. Fei Nanxi answered your question cautiously, only hurting it. â
The lich humbly replied:
"It already has the strength and physique to be close to God, and it is impossible for me to win it now. But if I can break through......"
Breakthrough?
Xia suddenly thought of its level, lv999.
"This seems to be the highest level of an ordinary profession, can it be further raised?"
She asked the little Lori in black:
"Stephanie, if the normal class wants to exceed the lv999 cap, then what should it do?"
"It's impossible to go beyond a fixed limit in a normal class, master."
The little Lori in black replied simply:
"It can only be broken through - that is, on the path to godhood."
ââŚâŚ With that said, the lich seems hopeless. â
Xia looked at Fei Nanxi hidden in the shadows with pity.
Ever since he saw the power of the Black Calamity. She also wants to have such a demigod-level subordinate!
"The lich is all right, master."
The little Lori in black explained:
"It was originally an ordinary legal profession when it was human. But now that it has become an immortal existence zĂ i, the upper limit should have been raised a long time ago, but it seems to have some shackles on its body, so that it can only maintain the status quo of lv999. â
"Shackles? It could be that the High Elves have set a limit for it. â
Xia remembered the words of the white snake, the enemies in the secret realm were all defeated by the High Elves, and then imprisoned in the other dimensional space, maybe some special method was used when imprisoning them, so that these enemies could no longer improve their strength.
"Fei Nanxi, come here."
She said to the lich.
The lich immediately stepped out of hiding and came to her, bowing his head deeply.
"Stephanie, it should have a golden imprint on its head, you can feel if it's magic or divine power."
Natsu picked up the black-clad Lori and asked her to get closer to the lich's skull.
"I feel a faint divine power on it, master, it shouldn't be magic."
The little Lori in black quickly came up with the answer:
"But this divine power is very low-level, far from the creation divine power in my body."
"Can you use the power of creation to beat people?"
Natsu suddenly thought of a great idea.
"No, master, it only manifests itself when there is a problem with the system and when I am in crisis, like when the curse of the nameless sword and the demigod invades me, but I can't manipulate it myself."
"That's right."
She dispelled the idea of using the power of creation to deal with the boss, and it seems that the system is still very strict against bugs.
It is estimated that even if those golden arcs try to touch the black calamity, it will not play a decisive role, and the visual inspection will only cause it some injuries at most.
"My physique is ineffective against divine power, which means that I won't destroy the brand set by the white snake, since this is easy to do."
She boldly reached out and touched the lich's hideous skull a few times.
ââŚâŚ Useless? â
Finding that the lich did not show any signs of a large increase in strength and the outbreak of a small universe, she hesitantly retracted her hand.
"Or did the High Elves use some god-like powers?"
"Ah, I see!"
Xia found that she had overlooked a very critical issue:
- The Lich's Box!
"The White Snake has set up a soul contract, and at present, I have only seen the Demon Lord and the White Snake use it, and Wendy seems to know this thing, it can directly act on the depths of the soul."
"But the High Elves obviously don't do such high-end things, they mostly use magical means, and that prohibition must be applied to the Lich's life box, because only then can it work."
She turned to the lich and said:
"Get your life box out."
"Yes, my master."
Without hesitation, the lich Fernanxi stretched out his hand and dragged out the black box that Xia had seen from the void.
"Your soul source is in it, isn't it?"
Natsu asked it to.
"That's right, great master."
Fei Nanxi nodded.
"What if I don't want to destroy this box, but I want to help you remove the restrictions imposed on you?"
The lich's eyes twinkled:
"The magic of the elves makes it impossible for me to say it......"
"Stephanie, go in and see what's weird."
Natsu gave an order to the black-clothed little Lori.
"Leave it to me, master!"
The black-clothed little Lori ignored any obstacles when she was invisible, and she was not afraid of destroying anything, she stretched out her head and looked at this dark box for a while, straightened up and said:
"There's something in there...... The magic contained inside is pure and contains no impurities, I guess it is the case itself. â
"I seem to remember that the fatbox can't be too far away from the lich's body, otherwise there will be two consequences."
Natsu searched her memory for what she had learned about the Lich:
â1ă The lifebox crumbles and the soul disappears. â
â2ă Soul Imprisonment effect, the life box will actively suck back the lich's soul. Neither of these conditions arose in Fernanxi's case. â
"Fei Nanxi, did you use this life box before you were caught by the elves?"
She asked the lich.
"No, my original lifebox...... It's a book, master. The lich recalled.
Hearing its words, Xia smiled happily:
"I see, I see."
"What do you understand, master? Shouldn't all life boxes be a kind of box? â
The little Lori in black asked curiously.
"The soul container doesn't have to be a box, it could be a necklace...... or other items. â
Xia looked at the dark and dreary box:
"But put the soul in the book...... Only one undead would do that, and I was misled from the start. â
She stretched out a hand and smashed the black life box under the lich's gaze. (To be continued) R640
