Chapter 12: The Wraith
Alva was just about to cast a spell when he noticed that the kid on the other side turned and ran, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone into the woods and disappeared.
This also made him angry, this kid is too cunning.
He took out a tube of potion and poured it into his eye, finally regaining his sight.
Alva stood up, sneered, and took out a black bottle from his waist pouch with dense witchcraft runes engraved on it.
An obscure incantation came out of his mouth, and a gray transparent spirit burst out of the bottle in an instant, flying wildly around Alva.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
The face of the spirit was extremely vicious, and its mouth was constantly screaming.
This is the "resentful spirit" that Alva has cultivated for many years, and it belongs to the necromantic spell "Necromantic Servant", which is very evil, and the necromantic wizard transforms the mortal body into a necromantic creature such as a spirit, a ghoul or a skeleton to assist the wizard in battle.
It was he who had imprisoned a mortal knight, tortured him alive for months, and extracted his soul at the most resentful moment before his death.
Over the years, he has devoted all his efforts to this "resentful spirit", consumed almost all the magic crystals, and experienced many spell tests before finally making it.
Alva picked up a feathered arrow from the ground, told the wraith to remember the breath on it, and said in a deep voice, "Go...... Catch him......"
The Wraith hissed again, and then flew quickly in the direction Sean had left.
Sean plunged into the nearby woods and ran wildly out of the mountain.
This mountain is his home turf, and Sean is confident that he can easily shake off the weird black-robed man behind him.
Graystone Town must not be able to stay any longer, and the first thing after descending the mountain is to leave immediately with his father and sister.
That weird black-robed man is getting more and more evil.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
Suddenly, there was a shrill hiss behind him.
Sean turned his head and was almost scared to death.
What the hell is this......
He hurriedly took off his crossbow and quickly pulled the crossbow machine at the resentful spirit.
"Whoosh......"
A crossbow bolt pierced the Wraith's void, and the Wraith continued to lunge at him unharmed.
"Whew......"
The wraith flew over Sean's head, opened its monstrous mouth, and let out a terrible roar.
Sean's head "buzzed", his brain suddenly went blank, he couldn't hear any sound, and the picture in his vision became blurred.
Ordinary spirits are afraid of sunlight and can only move at night, but the necromancer's zero-level spell "Necromantic Servant" can make spirits not afraid of daylight.
In addition, wizards can also use necromantic secret methods to transform ordinary spirits into "resentful spirits", "evil spirits" and "evil spirits" through witchcraft experiments.
"Wraiths", "Evil Spirits", and "Evil Spirits" are not afraid of physical attacks, ignoring all kinds of protection, and launch psychic attacks on enemies to assist wizards in battle.
An attack that directly acts on the spirit can cause the person being attacked to suffer serious damage to his mental power and temporarily lose his ability to fight, or to become an idiot or even die directly from mental disorder.
The most powerful of them are even more difficult to deal with, and they will even cast various spells, which can give shamans a headache when facing evil spirits.
The wraith's terrible howl is actually a soul spell possessed by the wraithing spirit itself, called "Horror Howl".
Soul spells have always been powerful, and the piercing sound waves emitted by the "Horror Howl" can attack all creatures within a radius of more than ten meters.
This spell also caused Sean to temporarily lose his senses, and his eyes were empty and he stood there like a walking corpse without his senses.
The soul of mortals is the best tonic for resentful spirits.
The wraith excitedly spun around Sean twice, and then suddenly opened its fierce mouth and bit Sean violently.
Just as Sean's soul was about to be consumed by the wraith, the black tattoo on his chest lit up.
An eerie black glow, flickering constantly.
The vicious-looking resentful spirit instinctively realized the danger and turned around to escape.
But the wraith found itself as if it was imprisoned, and the mortal body was like a black hole, and there was a huge suction that wanted to devour it alive.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
The Wraith struggled in horror, screaming loudly like madness, but was still sucked into the black tattoo on Sean's chest.
"Poof......
Alva in the distance spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body shook uncontrollably.
The soul imprint between him and the resentful spirit servants seemed to have been torn apart alive, and the violent spiritual backlash caused him to suffer a lot of physical and mental damage.
Alva took out a tube of the potion, tilted his head and drank it.
The Wraith Servants, who had worked so hard to cultivate over the years, had lost contact with him.
Without the restraint of the soul brand, the resentful spirit would definitely lose control, and after so many years of hard work, as well as the countless magic crystals that had been spent, it would be gone.
"Ah......h
Alva roared with grief and indignation, then drew the cross sword at his waist and chased after him into the dense forest in the distance.
Sean, who lost consciousness, woke up from his trance, he shook his head violently, and found that the vicious ghost just now was gone.
He didn't know that the wraith had been consumed by the black tattoo on his chest, but he felt a little hot in his chest.
Sean undid his leather armor and looked at the black tattoo on his chest, but he didn't see anything wrong.
The black-robed man would catch up at any time, and now he didn't have time to study this tattoo, so he should think about how to deal with the black-robed man's pursuit.
Sean can see it, and he can no longer use common sense to judge the strength of the black-robed man.
The other party has too many methods, and it is very weird, so he can't guard against it.
Could it be that he is the wizard of legend......
Sean recalls the records of wizards in the collection of down-and-out nobles, who are said to be mysterious and evil, and have so great power that even knights cannot defeat them.
Before, Sean didn't believe it, but he never thought that he would meet one today, which also made the worldview he had just established collapse instantly.
Now it seems that this world is far from being as simple as he thought, and what he sees today is probably only the tip of the iceberg of this world.
The area where he is located is too backward and the information is blocked, so he can't really understand the world at all.
Legend has it that sorcerers wield mystical powers, and various methods are endless.
If the black-robed man was really a wizard, even if he went down the mountain and fled from Greystone Town with his father and sister, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the other party in the end.
Thinking of this, Sean was ruthless, since he couldn't run, let's fight.
Sean has been hunting and collecting medicine in this mountain all year round, and is familiar with the environment in the mountains, and if he makes full use of the complex terrain and landforms in the mountains, he may be able to make a chance to survive.
If he left this mountain, he would lose his only advantage, and in the face of the black-robed man's various strange methods, he could only let him slaughter.
