Chapter 7: The Bone Wasteland
"The Stygian Fire Bullet is made of dark elementals, so it should be possible to extinguish them with soul control. Layton thought for a moment and muttered to himself.
Layton gradually controlled the extinguishing of the flame and said happily, "It's really possible." ”
Chanting the spell again, a small ball of dark fire appeared in the palm of his hand, this time Layton was careful, increasing his strength little by little, and his soul continued to control and compress it into a spherical dark fire bullet.
After twenty or thirty failures, he finally succeeded in condensing the Hellfire Bullet, and with a wave of his right hand, a bowl-sized Hellfire Bullet shot straight into a boulder.
"Boom!"
The boulder was blown straight into pieces.
He danced excitedly and shouted, "Haha, I made it." ”
Suddenly, for some reason, the undead monument in his mind shook violently again, and a dark elemental magic covered his entire body.
Layton stumbled and almost lost his footing.
Looking at the magic elements covered by his body, Rayton stabilized his mind and cautiously leaned towards the Undead Monument, the soul body of the White Bone Emperor had disappeared, and this was the first time Layton had seen the Undead Monument up close.
According to the memories of the White Bone Emperor, there is a world full of undead spirits, and his own enslavement contract has also been successfully cultivated. As the saying goes, when you're gearing up and ready to do a big job, you find that you don't know how to enter that world.
Layton thought to himself: Could it be that the Monument of the Undead is the key to entering the realm of the undead?
He looked left and right around the Monument of the Undead, and did not dare to approach, keeping a certain distance, fearing that the White Bone Emperor would rush out again. It's just that the White Bone Emperor seems to have disappeared without a trace.
After pondering the Undead Monument for a long time, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Undead Monument suddenly moved, rushing towards Leighton's soul and piercing his chest.
"Ahh
Layton screamed as he felt a sharp pain in his soul.
After a long while, after the soul was fully recovered, Layton turned around and looked at the undead monument viciously, but at this time, he suddenly felt that he had a slight connection with the undead monument.
"It's ...... What happened? I made a contract with the Monument of the Dead, it's as simple as that?" he said speechlessly.
Through the Monument of the Dead, Layton can vaguely feel a world full of death, which resonates with the body, and it belongs to the world of the undead.
Layton just wanted to observe the undead world through the undead stele, but he was not careful, and was swept up by the undead stele into a wave of spatial magic, and then appeared in the undead world.
Look at the monument of the dead that is silent in your mind. Layton couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you teleported me to the realm of the dead. It's okay, if you come here, you will be safe, then I will break into this undead world. ”
Since ancient times, no one has known when the world of the dead existed, it was a forbidden place for the living, a paradise for the dead.
The entire world of the undead is filled with the breath of death, and only dark mages who deal with the undead all day long will enjoy it, and it is rumored that this is also where their sacred place is located.
There is no day and night, and there are no four seasons in the sky of the undead world, and the vast sky and earth are gray, like a gray and white painting scroll where the ink has faded.
Far and near were several white skeletons of giant beasts, and the wind blew through them.
"Woo-woo-"
There was a low voice of mourning, as if it told of eternal sorrow. The biting wind swirled in the air, mixed with the whistling sound of the golden iron horse.
The windswept ground seemed to have been cleaned all over again, and the gray-brown ground was littered with dry bones, some of which were still vaguely filled with soul fire.
When Layton first came to the realm of the undead, he did not choose to act rashly, but lurked under a huge beast bone, carefully observing the world. From the memories of the White Bone Emperor, it seems that this place seems desolate and quiet, but there is a hidden crisis.
The location where he is now is the Bone Wasteland, which is also the birthplace of the skeleton undead, and is a low-level undead creature area.
The first feeling brought to him by the undead world was dead silence, without a trace of vitality. At the same time, he also found that the dark meditation technique could be greatly improved in the undead world, and it continuously replenished soul power.
Leighton's undead body is even more like a fish in water in this world, and the aura of death continues to condense, flowing into the body, becoming more and more solemn.
At the same time, the Holy Dragon Heart in his heart was extremely rejected from the undead realm, and it was even a little difficult to breathe. Layton had no choice but to divide a part of his soul power to protect it tightly, and he felt a lot better.
At this time, he was hiding behind a giant bone, and noticed a skeleton soldier staggering not far away, constantly looking down for something. Walked to a place with a lot of bones, stopped, crouched down, and rummaged through them with his two bone claws.
After pulling for a while, the skeleton soldier had an extra white bone knife in his bone claws, and the dark soul fire in his eyes flickered and flickered. From the fire of the skeleton's soul, he actually felt a glimmer of joy in it.
According to the memory of the White Bone Emperor, the undead creatures in the undead realm can be divided into ranks one to nine. Skeleton soldiers are the most common and weakest undead creatures, and they only retain some simple thoughts, and they are the first-order skeleton soldiers in front of them.
Layton condensed his gaze, locked his eyes on the skeleton in front of him, and thought in his heart: "The first-order skeleton soldier is just using you to practice." ”
With a low incantation, the surrounding dark elements surged wildly, quickly condensing into a bowl-sized fire bomb in his hand. With a wave of his right hand, he pointed at the skeleton and shouted, "Hellfire Bomb." ”
Although shouting out does not increase the attack power, he always feels that the spell shouted is very powerful, perhaps this is the magic in the eyes of most teenagers.
"Boom!"
With an explosion, the Hellfire bomb exploded into a large crater at the skeleton's feet. The explosion kicked off pieces and smashed them into the skeleton's face.
Obviously, Leighton's shout didn't shock the skeletons, but rather angered. After a moment of initial stunning, the skeleton soldier found Layton in front of him, and the soul fire in his eyes was flourishing, brandishing the white bone knife he had just picked up, and striding over.
Fortunately, the skeleton soldier won't laugh, otherwise Leighton's blow just now would definitely laugh.
Layton's face was a little unbearable at this time, his face was purple and swollen, and he said to himself, "Mistake, mistake, I was too nervous the first time, come again." ”
Continuing to chant the incantation, a fire bullet quickly formed. At this time, the skeleton soldier had already killed in front of him, raised the white bone knife, and slashed at Layton's chest.
The Hellfire Bullet in Layton's hand was not released, dodged to the right side, and with a wave of his right hand, the prepared Hellfire Bullet smashed heavily into the skeleton soldier's head. The skeleton soldier vigilantly turned back to block with his bone claws, and Layton was too late to stop at this point, so he could only take advantage of the situation.
With a violent explosion, Layton was swept away by the air generated by the explosion and fell to the ground. After the roar, he got up from the ground in embarrassment, and waved his hand and patted it.
Although his body had been tempered and had already reached the third-order defense level, it was difficult for the first-order Hellfire Bullet to leave scars on his body, but the pain it generated still made him grin for a while.
He walked over to the blast, where the skeleton soldier was lying not far away, and the lower half of his body had been blown up. Seeing that Layton was still alive, the skeleton struggled to drag the upper body skeleton and stubbornly crawled forward.
Layton was so angry that he looked like he was dead, and he even wanted to attack me. One foot stomps on the skeleton's spine, preventing it from moving forward.
The skeleton soldier struggled constantly, and the force was so great that it almost toppled Layton.
Layton smashed it down with his fist and stomped on the skeleton's neck with his foot, successfully subduing the skeleton.
Layton said hatefully: "Careless, I didn't expect you, a skeleton soldier, to capsize the boat in the gutter." But the better you behave, the more I like it. ”
"Now it's up to you how you're struggling, hehe. Layton laughed wickedly.
Quickly chanting the Enslavement Contract, he pulled a contract sigil from his hand and struck at the soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eye socket.
No response!
"Huh!"
Layton wondered, "What went wrong?"
After trying again, there was still no response.
After five attempts in a row, Layton had to give up, and at this point the soul power was also consumed too much.
Standing in place, stepping on the skeleton soldier with one foot, he performed a dark meditation technique to restore his soul power while thinking about what the problem was.
After about an hour, Layton was almost recovered. At this time, Layton probably had the answer in his heart, it was likely that his soul strength was also at the first order, and it was not enough to suppress the skeleton soldiers, so every time he concluded a slavery contract, he would be resisted and rebounded by the soul fire resistance of the skeleton soldiers.
Layton held his chin in his hand and said to himself: "Under the advantages of one or the other, although my soul strength cannot be improved at present, the soul fire of the skeleton soldier can be weakened!"
Layton looked up in surprise and said, "Haha, I know what to do." ”
