Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Vial of Plague
Alec mingled around the banquet for a while, then returned to the basement to continue studying the death code in his hand.
He found an interesting spell on it.
Plague Bottle.
When it comes to developing the proximity plane, plague-like spells can do more than you can imagine. Take the DC world as an example: Alec is no match for Clark and Diana, and if he goes on a killing spree in this plane, then Clark and Diana will crush his doppelgangers and make his quest unsuccessful...... But with the Plague Vial, he only needs to prepare the props in advance, and then find a suitable target to sell (give) the Plague Vial to him.
The underworld is the birthplace of plague spells, and the effect of the plague vial is much better than the plague spells circulating in hell.
The spells weren't complicated, but Alec lacked a lot of materials.
After all, the vial of plague is a spell of the underworld, and many materials are quite difficult to find in hell.
Just then, Clark pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Alec, you're working on spells?"
"Is there something wrong?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Clark's face, he was just not used to attending such a banquet, so he hid in the basement.
"Nothing...... Just come down and take a look. Does Bruce still practice swordsmanship? ”
Alec nodded.
Clark said a few polite words, and then ran into the training ground.
At this time, Bruce was fighting Oliver on the training ground...... That's a bit inappropriate, because he's just unilaterally pinning Oliver to the ground and beating him. Originally, with his personality, this kind of thing would have been almost impossible to happen, but there was a little mischievous succubus in the training ground, and she threw a [berserk] at Bruce. Although Berserk was only a low-level spell, Bruce didn't have a spell resistance specialty, so he simply hit it, and then beat Oliver with red eyes.
Clark reluctantly separates the two.
Oliver was beaten and bruised, and Bruce punched and kicked Clark with red eyes.
"Nicole, stop making trouble, undo the spell!"
The little succubus stuck out his tongue: "I can't do it...... Only wait for the spell to expire naturally! ”
Oliver glanced at Nicole with jealousy, and was terrified of Nicole...... Although he is no match for Bruce, taking a beating is not enough to make him weak on his feet...... If someone throws healing when you're being beaten, it's a different experience entirely.
Clark reluctantly took two steel bars from the side, twisted them into a pair of makeshift handcuffs, and tied Bruce.
"Nicole...... Let's have a discussion, shall we? ”
The little succubus jumped up directly: "I won't do it!" I'm going to talk to you to find Alec! ”
"He's working on spells......"
Nicole pulled out a book and said, "I'm reading too!" ”
Clark was helpless: "Nicole, I don't mean anything else, I just want to try against spells......"
Nicole was a little impatient: "This is your physical defect, there is no way to make up for it!" Clark, you're already a lord-level life, as long as you don't encounter a high-level caster, you can go sideways, why do you keep worrying about spell resistance? …… What's more, even if it is a normal lord-level warrior, the spell resistance is not much higher, and it proves that hard resistance spells are only a dead end! ”
Clark frowned: "But Diana doesn't seem to be afraid of spells." ”
"Because she's a freak!"
Clarke's face was strange: "If she hears you......"
Nicole replied nonchalantly, "What do you hear?" up? ”
Clark was helpless, and after being silent for a while, he spoke again: "Nicole, I want to go back to Krypton." ”
“……”
"Can you help me?"
Nicole smiled wryly, "We can't help you." ”
"Why?"
"I've seen you...... Well, teleportation? Alec's statement, it seems to be a long-distance space teleportation? ”
"Teleportation over long distances."
Clark said, "yes, that's it...... Alec can take Bruce to the clouds, why can't he take me to Krypton? Anyway, Krypton is much closer than that cloud illusion, right? ”
Nicole was distressed: "But the problem is not the distance at all. ”
"The amount of energy required for teleportation, the distance is only one aspect, and the strength of the teleportee is also the strength of the person being teleported...... Clark, your strength is too strong, Alec's clone only has the strength of the peak of a low-level spellcaster, and you are a lord-level life, and it is impossible for him to afford the energy of teleportation. If you want to return to Krypton, you can only do so with the help of technology or a more powerful spellcaster. ”
Clark froze, then didn't speak.
"Clark, why do you want to go back to Krypton?"
“…… I don't know, is it strange to want to go back to my hometown? ”
Nicole was stunned: "At least I don't want to go back at all." ”
"Why?"
"Because I was born in hell, that's all."
…………
As time passed, the crowd of people attending the banquet gradually began to disperse.
Nicole "kindly" helped Oliver Quinn heal the wound on his face before letting him out of the basement, and a certain traumatized teenager fled the Wayne mansion without even giving Bruce a chance to apologize.
It wasn't until the people were almost gone that Diana, dressed in a gown, walked into the basement.
"Spells again?"
"Of course."
Diana walked aisle beside Alec, stared at the spells on the Codex of Death, and asked, "Alec, can I learn spells?" ”
Alec didn't even look up: "No, you can't learn spells." ”
Diana said, "Why? You didn't even test my spell talent. ”
Alec sighed and replied, "Because of your talent...... Diana, there are two sides to things, the spell resistance on your body makes you invincible against the spellcaster, but this high resistance also determines that you can't be a spellcaster - whether you want to or not, your body is resisting spell energy, and in this state, no one can use spells. ”
"That'...... What am I going to do? Diana suddenly became a little irritated, "Alec, the wreckage of the circle on Paradise Island is my only hope of finding my people...... In any case, I will not give up this glimmer of hope. ”
"Wait."
Alec put down the codex in his hand.
"The whereabouts of the Sisoka elves are uncertain, and even if I restore the circle and help you travel to another world, there is little hope that you will find them. What's more, there is no pattern in plane jumping, and who knows whether the next stop of the Sisuka Elf will be a life plane or a barren plane? Going to an unfamiliar plane without preparation is no different from looking for death...... You may be dealing with a world with highly advanced technology, or you may be facing a primitive civilization full of savages, and if you are unlucky, you may even enter the half-elemental plane...... This is undoubtedly the worst-case scenario, Diana, I wonder if you have the ability to bathe in magma, or survive for a long time under the sea? ”
Diana's face turned pale.
These were all questions she had never considered.
