Twentieth Sulla: The Witch King
The surface of the pool of blood was now churning as if it were boiling, and the red-hot blood splattered out and landed on the hard stone floors and walls, making a corrosive snorting sound. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Just out of curiosity, I want to ask" Seeing that some kind of behemoth seemed to be taking shape in the pool, Muhadi remained very calm. "Where did you get all this blood?"
"Interesting question, I'll tell you when we solve this big guy. Ellen told the Psychic Warlock that the swirls in the pool of blood had grown even more turbulent. The smell of blood in the air grew stronger, and the feeling of impending disaster intensified.
Without warning, a ball of blood suddenly erupted in the pool. A black shadow suddenly emerged from the pool, vaguely in the form of a human, composed of pitch-black night shadows, with an unrecognizable face.
Dim and distorted, these shadows seem to be made up of flowing mist. While gazing at these indescribable beings, an indescribable, madly gloomy wail sounded in the psychic man's head.
The behemoth beneath the pool of blood also seemed to be closer, as if it were a living mass of fear. It was a sentient, trembling strange mountain, its tentacles filling the vast space beneath the pool of blood, and this was only the tip of the iceberg, more parts were still in the cracks between the planes, waiting to arrive.
"Fragments of Entropy!" Ellen reminded, his tone mixed with anticipation and awe, and for the first time the Psychic had discovered that he could be so excited. "Be careful, these things have a different image in everyone's eyes, and they must be killed at the same time on the level of consciousness and in the material world to be completely destroyed!"
Without his reminder, Muhadi himself felt that the black shadow was trying to attack the essence of his soul, and the layers of precautions that had been arranged in advance dissolved as quickly as ice under the scorching sun. At the same time, a dazzling light lit up on the other side, and the female mage and psychic sorcerer Carly Jean simultaneously sent two extremely powerful meteorite explosions at the same time, tracking the black shadow away. The blazing wind made it difficult for the three people in the hall to breathe for a while, and the rapidly rising temperature forced them to protect themselves with psionic energy and spells.
Just as the shadow rushed towards Carigine, a strange but strange familiar consciousness appeared in the mind of the Psychic Warlock, who was forced to relax his attention to the real world and concentrate on the intruder.
It was very different from all of Muhadi's psionic opponents he had fought before.
Some psychic warlocks are good at mind control, and can even forcibly rewrite the soul of an opponent with a mind demon seed in battle. Some psychic sorcerers can create powerful and realistic illusions, deep and powerful hints, and even real pain. And this fragment of entropy seems to have only one weapon, and that is oblivion.
Any form of psionic attack doesn't seem to work on it. Pain, hallucinations, suggestion, or mind-reading tricks have no effect, a phenomenon that Muhadi has encountered only in one circumstance - when confronted with an object that has no self-consciousness at all. In the fluctuations of its consciousness, the boundless madness and nothingness that can be felt.
But the Shard of Entropy doesn't look like it's self-conscious, and its soul attacks are weird but effective.
Every time it attacked, the Psychic felt a tear, and then everything went back to normal, as if the attack hadn't worked at all. But he soon realized that this normality was just an illusion, that the fragments of entropy were tearing apart his soul little by little, and that with each of its attacks, a part of himself would be forgotten forever, and he would not even remember that he had ever belonged to him.
Because his crystal servant accidentally gained self-consciousness and eventually became one of his rivals as the false prophet Danjar. So Muhathir was very resistant to creating a backup of his consciousness, and now in the face of the fragments of entropy, he realized what a mistake he had made.
On the other side, in the real world, the two Forsaken who are at war with the Fragments of Entropy are not having an easy time either. Surrounded by projections of herself in different worlds, Carley Jean casts spells and curses. Judging from the content of her scolding, it seems that every attack of Entropy Fragment can make her completely forget some prepared spells, and the more she fights, the more difficult it becomes.
As if that weren't tricky enough, the churning in the pool of blood became more violent, followed by a second fragment of entropy flying out of the blood, then a third, then a fourth. Huge tentacles stretched out from the pool of blood, and the smooth, warty gray-green skin was dotted with scales that shimmered orange like gems. Moreover, the tentacle barrel-shaped flesh showed a kind of fleshy folds, and many hideous eyes were distributed in the folds. At the top of it are whip-like tendrils. And in the middle of its waist are three large fin-like objects.
The stench of this thing is too disgusting to describe, but the strange thing is that in Muhadi's synaesthesia, the smell looks like a distant starry sky, infinitely wide and infinitely deep.
The situation is going in an unfavorable direction, but fortunately, Ellen chose to face the Angel of Entropy here, and he is indeed prepared.
He avoided engaging the Fragment of Entropy head-on, hid behind Carigian, pulled a scroll from his bosom, and muttered under his breath. Although not obvious, the fortress itself resonates slightly. A lonely, elegiac chant is contained in its pedestal.
Muhadi parried the attack of the Entropy Shards as he kept an eye on the other two. Although it is unfavorable, the strength of these two people is quite good, and they look like they can hold on for a while. In addition, the psychic warlock also noticed that these entropy fragments did not cooperate with each other, and even interfered with each other when attacking. In addition, they don't seem to understand the reason to join forces to attack one first, and even ignore the various main elemental servants summoned by Carlyjin, and completely only recognize the three so-called "forsakens" to chase and fight.
This is when Calijin's summoning spell came into play, and although the attack of the Entropy Fragment made her forget many of her remembered spells, the creatures she summoned were not among the targets, and she was able to fight back with a variety of powerful spells. The Shards of Entropy are extremely resistant to all kinds of spell effects, but they seem to be peeling off layer by layer under the flood of attacks.
Now he somewhat understood why Ellene needed to find himself as a helper, the planet might be able to recruit many capable adventurers, but none of them would be targeted by the Shard of Entropy, and they would not be able to share the firepower for him.
Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, the fragments of entropy against Muhadi launched a series of onslaught on the soul level. The Psychic Warlock felt no sense of these attacks, but he knew that with each more hit, his soul would be more broken.
Psychic manipulators concentrate and dive into the depths of their souls. Since the attack of the Entropy Fragment is to tear apart your own soul devour, then simply feed them more.
Muhadi searched through his soul quickly, and finally, in an inconspicuous corner, hidden deep and deep, he found the weapon he needed.
The Thousand Soul Head's Mind Demon Seed had not been active for a long time, and he had been completely suppressed by Muhadi's current personality, and there was no longer a chance to influence his behavior. But they didn't disappear there, they just lay dormant in the depths of their souls, waiting for a chance to make a comeback. Once in the Grim Reaper's Soul Crucible, the souls of the most vicious sinners ever on Attath waited for the day when the Atrosolcers would slay the gods and be liberated.
At the soul level, Muhadi gripped this part of his soul tightly, tore it off, and threw it towards the shards of entropy. The latter instinctively swallowed the soul, swallowing and chewing.
The ability of the Mind Demon Seed cannot be easily banished, it is deeply rooted in the soul of the victim. Whenever Muhadi tore off a portion of the soul that belonged to the Thousand Soul Heads, the remnants of it quickly filled the lost parts.
This provided an inexhaustible supply of ammunition, and while the Fragments of Entropy continued to attack, it was no longer as threatening as it had been.
"Rajat, let me go!" cried out a piece of torn and tossed debris, the Psychic Magician ignoring it.
More and more servants were summoned by Carijin, and the mistress was completely protected behind him. The walls, ceiling, and floor of this hall were lit up with mysterious runes. It's not for nothing that Ellen chose to settle in this world, collecting antiques from the world and finding the doomsday weapons that vanished ancient civilizations invented before their mysterious disappearance. These weapons didn't help the ancient civilizations defend themselves against the great threats that plagued them, but they could help them here.
The ancient power, which was neither magical nor psionic, was activated by Elleon, and the ancient device hidden beneath the fortress began to work once again. An invisible force field enveloped the core hall in the midst of the battle.
The speed of those entropy fragments slowed down almost instantly, and they were immediately overwhelmed by a dense bombardment of spells.
At the level of Muhadi's soul, the fragments of entropy that were being devoured were also affected. The shell, like a flowing mist, peeled off, revealing a fragile, vulnerable core.
It looked exactly like himself, and the Psychic realized, more accurately, exactly like his old self, through his previous self.
"Entropy never grows. After being violently attacked by the Psychic Warlock, it said with the former's own face before finally disappearing.
"Be careful! the big guy is coming out!" Before Muhadi could think about the meaning of the sentence, Ellen warned, "It's a lot trickier!"
The Angel of Entropy, which had been lurking under the pool of blood, finally surfaced, and the eyes between the folds on the tentacles bulged out like toads. The eyes that looked at the three of them were similar to those of a dead man, and perhaps a little more penetrating. The torso was like a trembling mountain, writhing and deforming, emitting the stench of corpses.
"So this thing is the mother, right? Muhati spoke to the two men, carefully on guard.
"Presumably, all the observed fragments are split from this thing. Carley Jeanne replied in place of Ellene. "Kill it, and we'll be free!"
Many of the servants summoned by Kalijin—the fiercely burning fire elemental master, the humanoid torrent-like water elemental master, and the otherworldly servants with dancing red glowing wings rushed up together. However, the Angel of Entropy simply waved one of his tentacles, and those fire elemental lords extinguished like flickering candles, and the servants of the other world fell to the ground one after another.
Ellen frantically ordered the ancient machinery in the fortress to overload to overload this formidable opponent, and the invisible force field was strengthened. A number of unknown ancient devices protrude from the walls, which emit flames, bright lights, loud and splashing acid. The ground screaked, and the stony surfaces could not withstand the force of destruction, shattering and peeling apart.
A tentacle swung at Muhadi, completely breaking the physical protection he had set for himself. The Psychic Warlock had to roll on the ground in an ugly way to avoid it. And where he had been standing, he was hit hard by the tentacles, the hard stony ground, and shattered—no, not broken, more like "withered."
The Psychic dodged the blow on a physical level, but on the psychic level, he was hit hard by this opponent. Muhati seemed to clearly see that a translucent self had been pulled out of his body, which contained memories of his past, which was part of his soul.
The shadows of many of his past acquaintances were contained in that translucent shadow, and the tentacles of the Angel of Entropy wrapped them around like sailors who had rolled up and fallen into the water, and then dragged them into their massive torsos.
Muhadi focused and summoned a powerful ability to attack, but it didn't have any effect. On the other side, Ellen and Carigian, who are battling the physical body of the Angel of Entropy, are in even worse trouble. The former seemed to have used up all the high-level spells he had memorized, and now he had to deal with the situation by scrambling to pull out one precious powerful scroll after another from his bosom. The latter was hiding in a protective shield created by an ancient machine, but he was entangled like a python by two tentacles, and he couldn't move.
The Psychic Warlock moved quickly as he analyzed the situation in front of him. His previous psionic attacks didn't seem to work against the Angel of Entropy's mother, and he had to change his mind.
What is the enemy of entropy?
Muhati had a vague idea, but he wasn't sure yet, so he had to try it first.
After a few thrilling dodges, the Psychic finally found his chance, and he began to concentrate and prepare to fight back.
Suddenly, the mountain-like abominable body of the Angel of Entropy exploded.
Muhadi was taken aback and turned to look at the two outcasts, suspecting that they had eliminated their opponents. The two clinker were also in danger of dying, and they were looking at the psychic warlock's side in disbelief.
The Angel of Entropy actually exploded on its own?
An incomparable majesty and a surging sense of oppression emanated from the location of the pool of blood, and the body of the Angel of Entropy was separated from the middle, and a shadow radiating divine power rose from it.
Bones that glowed like pure gold, countless hinges, gears, pistons, and transmissions were scattered across the lich's body. An unidentified mechanism of adamantite metal filled the thoracic bones of its once beating heart, and more than a dozen mechanical arms stretched out from its back, each with a surgical prop at the end, a speculum, bone forceps, lancet, tissue scissors......
Dragos, the Witch King - the disciple of the Primordial Warlock's best skilled in necromantic spells, known by the Athas by the honorific name of the Third Champion and the Ravage of the Giants - thousands of years ago, he was responsible for dissecting the corpses of the Atas gods slain by Rajat and mumifying the bodies of the gods. Later, he came up with the idea that he should also acquire the godhead, and as a result, he angered the strongest of the Witch Kings, the dragon king Ab the Polis, and was killed by the four Witch Kings, forcing him to lie dormant in the body of a lich for thousands of years.
And now, after killing the Angel of Entropy that gave Muhadi a headache with a single blow, he suddenly appeared in front of the Psychic Warlock. And judging from the aura exuded from him, Draegos has fulfilled his long-cherished wish for thousands of years, and he has become a divine being. (To be continued.) )
