Chapter 55: The Second Soul Shard
Therefore, the Fallen Demon Wizard released several fire spells in a row, forcing the Great Axe and the others who were already about to rush back back. Even the scythe that rushed to the front had no choice but to retreat, and was almost hit by the fireball.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the Fallen Demon Wizard let out a sinister laugh, and now he was ready to deal with the Fallen Demon who rushed to the front.
It's just that when he looked at it, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
Under the look of the Sinking Demon Wizard, he almost lost the staff in his hand.
Three of his six guards have already been killed at this moment. The Fallen Demon wielding the Worm Tooth Dagger was extremely fast, and he was extremely disciplined in both attacking and dodging, and the Fallen Demon Guard was no match for him at all. The latter, after repelling one of the guards who stood in the way, actually rushed straight at him.
At that moment, the Fallen Demon Wizard sensed extreme danger, and that feeling was like being targeted by the most ferocious demonic beast.
"No, you're just an underage Fallen Demon, how could I be afraid of an underage Fallen Demon?" The Fallen Demon Wizard naturally knew that when it came to hand-to-hand combat, he was definitely no match for the Fallen Demon, and now that he had no time to cast his magic, he could only use 'that thing'.
Decades ago, the Wizard of the Sinking Demon was just the lowest of the Fallen Demons, but it was only in an adventure that he was lucky enough to achieve what he is today.
Hidden deep underground, he discovered a huge palace when he was just a Fallen Demon Miscellaneous Soldier. Inside the palace, a red crystal fragment was found.
Although this fragment is only half the size of a thumb, it has very magical powers. After obtaining this crystal, the Fallen Demon Wizard discovered that he could suddenly perceive and control the power of fire.
The profession of wizard is quite noble in the Sinking Demon clan, and the Sinking Demon who can become a wizard is all one in a million geniuses. With his original qualifications, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a wizard, but after returning from the underground, he was like an enlightened person, and he had a strong learning ability.
Over the next three years of training and study, he became a wizard.
The people of the clan were extremely surprised by the changes in him, and only he knew that it was all due to the red crystal shard. All you need to do is wear the shards with you, and you can have a great blessing for fire magic.
Therefore, the fireball technique, which originally had a very ordinary attack power, would be so powerful in his hands, the flame level was extremely high, and it could instantly melt the metal of low quality, and no matter who touched it a little, it would be like a maggot attached to the bone, and it could not be shaken off at all, except for being burned into a puddle of ashes.
With this power, he became a powerful Sinking Mage, and during that time he was going to be windy and rainy. After that, he defected from the Sinking Demon Clan because of some things, and relied on the power of the red crystal stone to set up his own door outside and establish a new small tribe.
And the Fallen Demon Sorcerer is the ancestor of this tribe.
This time, he came to snatch the ore of the Fallen Demon, and he thought that he would definitely be able to catch it, but he didn't expect to meet a freak like Lin Fei. Relying on his powerful melee ability, he killed half of his guards and began to threaten him.
"You forced me, to be honest, it's been a long time since I've used its power directly!" The Sinking Demon Wizard laughed madly at the moment, and then quickly took something out of the armor on his chest.
And at this moment, Lin Fei had already attacked less than a meter in front of him.
It was only soon that Lin Fei felt a very strange feeling. And this feeling should never appear on the body of this fallen demon at present.
A sharp pain came from his right eye.
How is this possible?
This kind of sharp pain is quite familiar, because Lin Fei had a similar weird feeling before, because the right eye that was engraved with the Reverse Star Array was invaded by a red soul fragment in an accident. For this reason, Lin Fei also received the two benefits of Fire Resistance Increase and 'Flame Claw'.
However, that was Lin Fei's body, and now, the body of this fallen demon was just the shell of Lin Fei's soul, and it stands to reason that there would be no more pain in his right eye.
Saying that it was too late, Lin Fei was in severe pain, but he saw that the Sinking Demon Wizard opposite was holding a red crystal fragment in his hand.
"Die, instantaneous, flame-entwined!" The Sinking Demon Wizard laughed strangely, but he recited the spell, and saw a three-dimensional star array suddenly appear under Lin Fei's feet, and in the next second, a stream of flames burst out of it.
This process was extremely fast, so fast that even Lin Fei himself didn't react, or rather, Lin Fei didn't have time to react at all, and the flames under his feet burst out.
At this moment, Lin Fei felt the threat of death.
Almost instinctively, Lin Fei did one thing, and at the moment when the flames had already wrapped themselves, Lin Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed forward like lightning.
One thing fell into Lin Fei's hand, and after that, raging flames continued to emerge, and a sky-high fire dragon had already emerged within three square meters around his feet. From the outside, Lin Fei was no longer visible at all.
"Damn, damn, damn!" The Sinking Demon Wizard was about to crack at the moment, and the moment the other party was ignited, he actually snatched the red crystal in his hand.
Before, he focused on urging the power of the red crystal to release magic, but he didn't expect that the other party would be able to reach out and snatch the crystal in his hand after being entangled in flames.
Miscalculation, big miscalculation.
Now the Sinking Demon Wizard's bowels are also green, and if he retreats in time just now, he will not be robbed of the treasure. And now, it was impossible for him to get that treasure back.
The flames were too big to get close, and the magic would take a full minute to extinguish.
At this time, the other Fallen Demons also rushed over. They apparently believed that the heroic 'Wormfang' had perished in the flames. To tell the truth, even the big axe is extremely impressed by the heroic feat of 'Worm Fang'.
"Fallen demons, the Wormtooth Warriors have won us a chance, and now, let us use the blood of this filthy Fallen Demon to honor our compatriots!"
With that, he picked up his axe and slashed one of the Fallen Demon Guards to the ground.
But the scythe had tears in his eyes, and rushed towards the sinked wizard. She was originally a female fallen demon, so she was extremely fast, and her body was dexterous, and she slashed out with a knife, which made the wizard unavoidable, and directly cut a bloody cut on his face.
The Fallen Demon Wizard who was close to him couldn't make an effective place at all, and in addition, he lost the red crystal that could greatly enhance his fire magic, and his strength was greatly reduced, so he couldn't compete with the Great Axe and Scythe and the others at all.
In a matter of moments, the only three remaining Extinction Guardians were slaughtered, and the Downcast Wizard himself did not last long before his head was cut off with an angry scythe.
"Roar!"
The scythe lifted the bloody head directly and let out a roar that was loud.
This is how the Fallen demons show their power.
The battle was over, and when the Fallen Demons looked back at the bones of the warrior Wormfang who had won them their chance, they saw Iron Bow staring at the extinguished flame with a demented expression.
The flames gradually decreased, and a figure gradually appeared.
And a minute ago.
After Lin Fei was wrapped in flames, he knew what it meant to burn himself.
It can be said that being burned alive by flames is definitely an extremely terrifying way to die, and Lin Fei knew that he was about to usher in this terrible experience. And perhaps, these were the last seconds of his life.
For a moment, Lin Fei thought a lot.
He thought of Li Chunan and Lin Yan in the real world, and they should live happily in the future. I wonder if I think of myself once in a while?
In addition, Lin Fei also thought of the fat man, Gu Xiaolin, and the white-robed and crossbowman man.
These thoughts only flashed in Lin Fei's mind, and then, Lin Fei was ready to accept death calmly.
Yes, Lin Fei didn't want to die like everyone else, and there were many things he wanted to do but didn't do, and there were also some regrets. But he was not afraid of death, and as a human being, the greatest courage was to face it head-on.
Lin Fei could feel his flesh being boiled, his blood vessels and muscles being burned into a ball, and his internal organs were also ignited by the terrible heat.
It's just that the pain that came from this only appeared for a moment, and in the next second, Lin Fei felt that his burned body was beginning to return to its original state, and the scorching flame was like a breeze blowing on his face, and it would not cause any pain.
After discovering this abnormal situation, Lin Fei knew that he was not dead. Instead, he miraculously survived, and a thousandth of a second later, Lin Fei felt a chill coming from the palm of his hand.
At this time, Lin Fei remembered that at the moment when he was hit just now, he seemed to reach out and grab it. At that time, it was just an instinctive grab, but now I know that there is something more in my palm.
At the same time, a hint that had already appeared also caught Lin Fei's attention.
"Obtain the 'Immortal King's Soul Fragment', Fragment 2, Unknown Effect!"
Soul fragments of the Immortal King?
It turned out to be this thing, Lin Fei remembered that what he had just grabbed indiscriminately seemed to be the thing that the Sinking Demon Wizard had taken out before, could it be the soul fragment of the Immortal King?
It's just that how can there be such a thing here.
And at this time, Lin Fei felt a sharp pain in his right eye again, and in the next second, the crystal fragment in his hand turned into a stream of red light and burrowed into his right eye.
At this moment, Lin Fei didn't need to look to know that there was already an inverse star array in his right eye, and there were already two soul fragments inside.
As for why this happened in the dream world, Lin Fei didn't know anything about it. But no matter what, he escaped after all.
And, in a way, this can also be said to be a good thing.
Because the reverse star array in the right eye is activated on the body of the fallen demon, that is to say, this should be a star array that exists with the soul, and it is no wonder that it is more advanced than the reverse star array in Andariel. In addition, now Lin Fei had gotten a hint that he could use the 'Flame Claw'.
It is naturally a good thing that he was not burned to death, and he was also a blessing in disguise.
At this moment, the flames gradually dissipated, and Lin Fei also saw the situation outside. I saw that the Fallen Demon Wizard and his guards had all died tragically, and the Fallen Demon such as Scythe and Iron Bow were looking at him with a hellish expression.
…… On the way back, Scythe kept asking Lin Fei what was going on. It's just that how easy to explain this kind of thing, Lin Fei can only shirk and say that he doesn't know, anyway, it's right to pretend to be stupid, and the more he explains this kind of thing, the more troublesome it becomes. If you don't explain, maybe the other party will help you come up with a seemingly reasonable explanation, why wouldn't Lin Fei do it.
"Could it be that you have been sheltered by a great monarch-level demon? Or was that trick just a superficial skill at that time, and it didn't work? ”
Lin Fei was silent.
And because he wanted to temporarily hide the reverse star array in his right eye, Lin Fei had to close his right eye, lest the curious sickle find out and continue to ask questions. In fact, all the fallen demons were very curious about Lin Fei's immortality, but they couldn't pry anything out of Lin Fei's mouth. In the end, they themselves felt that Lin Fei had taken shit luck and survived.
The rest of the journey, there was no more danger, out of the big tunnel is already the second day, rest for an hour, continue to walk through the swamp area, and then over a mountain is already in the afternoon, the transport team finally saw the huge gathering place of the fallen demons.
When the convoy arrived at Fattooth's blacksmith shop, only half of the Fallen Demon escort team had gone to twelve. But obviously, the remaining six fallen demons have all experienced the battle of life and death, and they can be regarded as the best tempered. In addition, they were given the right to pick two pieces of armor.
After eating some food, the six Fallen Demons began to rest while choosing the right armor for them.
After the big axe swallowed a piece of meat in his mouth, he clapped his hands and said, "I want head defense armor, as well as shoulder arm armor, this is the most suitable armor for me." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Fei and said, "Worm Fang, what about you?" ”
Lin Fei's performance along the way has obviously earned him the honor of belonging to the Fallen Demon. It can be said that if it weren't for Lin Fei's strong melee ability, their group of people, including the ore transport team, would have been killed and looted by the Sunken Demon. Now, the big axe has regarded Lin Fei as a strong man from his heart, so he will ask questions.
As for the other Fallen Demons, he wouldn't rush to ask, because if he did, it would be very cheap.
Lin Fei naturally understands this kind of psychology, and there is nothing to hide about choosing armor, so Lin Fei said: "I want foot armor and ...... Head Protector! ”
Originally, Lin Fei was going to guard his hand, but because of the condition of his right eye, he temporarily changed it to a head defense armor, and Lin Fei was still closing his right eye at the moment, and other fallen demons asked, only saying that he was burned by the flames and could not open it for the time being.
