Chapter 121: Staggering
The addition of the Raven made it much more difficult to cast spells on those sacrifices. On the one hand, the efficiency of two people interrupting the chanting together is naturally higher than that of Si alone, but on the other hand, the evil god sacrifice that was interrupted by the cursed crow did not only have to bear the damage from the spell itself, but what the cursed crow did was far more terrible than Si's simple dismissal and abort. This curse-savvy caster likes to interrupt a spell cast by giving them a "little gift" or two, which may be just a cough or something innocuous in their physiological response, but the consequences of these things are fatal when the priests heartily praise the terrible existence they believe in.
This is not to say that the so-called evil gods care about some of the physical reactions of the believer, but as Cheese once said, magic is a rigorous job, and trying to perform a successful spell is like operating a huge machine, and the wrong operation will not only make the machine you operate unable to complete the task, but the consequences of this are quite fatal most of the time. Like the hapless man who was dragged into the mud by what he had summoned, more and more priests began to suffer similar injuries.
This situation leads to the breaking of the fixed cooperation between the cults of the evil gods, and the departure of individual members of a group may be acceptable, but when the priests find that the deadly jokes are starting to spread like a plague, they have to think about the cost of continuing to cast spells. The hesitation of the cultists is naturally an opportunity for Cheese to take a short break in the battle to try to figure out the principles of the circles in the cemetery, although those circles are interlocked and nested with each other, but in Cheese's view, this also means that they will eventually be connected to a circle that the mage calls the "center", as long as this center can be destroyed, then perhaps most of the circles in the cemetery can lose their effectiveness.
"Useless attempts. Do you think you can destroy what I've been preparing for a long time with just a few minutes?" The lich's taunt seemed to be a final proclamation, indicating that Cheese's attempt was doomed to failure. Although the mage had used what he had learned in his life to follow the shortest path to find the location of the center in the cemetery, Cheese soon discovered that the circle in the cemetery was like a designed labyrinth, and his magic tentacles moved through it, either hitting a dead end or being guided back to their previous location.
"It's useless, this guy isn't just a textbook waste, his understanding of magic is not below you and me. Raven said to Cheese between spells. Of course, he also has a way to see the attack and defense between Cheese and the Lich, and this makes him sure that the Lich in front of him not only has power, but also knows how to use it.
And although in these few short breaths, Cheese and they have had several rounds of confrontation with the enemies in the cemetery, but as their escort Elsa, they are completely unaware, in their eyes, Cheese and they are just chanting something in the same place, and the same is true of those evil god sacrifices in the cemetery, in fact, at this time, inside and outside the cemetery, except for the chanting of the priests and the sound of Louise and their constant attack on the brick wall, the entire battlefield can even be called quiet. It's a battle between spellcasters, with no flickering flames or lightning, because by the time the other side successfully completes their spells, your enemies are as defenseless as meat on a board. This kind of battle is like playing a chess game with your own life, and if you are not careful, your bones will be gone.
"Hmph, you brought it on yourself. Realizing that his attempts weren't working, and that the hour of dawn was now getting closer, Cheese knew he didn't have much time left to stop him. After saying this, the mage's eyes began to emit a strong light, this light was not bright, but it was so conspicuous in the dark night, and the indescribable color made everyone who witnessed this scene instinctively feel uneasy and irritable. Fortunately, none of the people who protected Cheese looked back to see what was going on with Cheese, and Curse Raven, who knew more about the mage, didn't need to use his eyes to confirm what Cheese was doing.
"Don't look into Cheese's eyes, do your best to protect him and cast spells!Werewolves and vampires are back!" Curse Crow naturally knew what terrible consequences Cheese could cause if he was serious, and he also understood that the current mage was very vulnerable, so he began to approach like Cheese after shouting this, and shouted to the giant wolf and vampire not far away.
The terrifying aura emanating from Cheese's body was naturally noticed by Louise and the others, and although they were very upset with the impoliteness of the curse crow, they also knew that the spell that the mage was preparing now might be the only way for them to keep these enemies here. And in the process of destroying the brick wall, they also realized that the power in this cemetery may be greater than they imagined, even if the wolfwalkers have the ability to be immune to all magic, but since the other party's invasion of the iron castle has been planned for a long time, it is difficult to ensure that they have no means to deal with Louise.
The wolf and xenomorph quickly gave up attacking the brick walls and turned back to defend near Cheese, Louise used her massive body to block the graveyard between enemies and mages, which could block most of Cheese's damage from the magic plane. Sander, on the other hand, relied on his carapace to resist the bone spurs fired by the Twisted Knights, and the two worked together to create a line of defense that could block almost everything for a while, and it seemed that the other party would not want to interrupt Cheese's spell casting for a short time.
"How ......stupid," the lich's emotionless and lifeless voice came from the depths of the graveyard. And with what sounded like a sigh, countless voices came from behind the grass and trees around the cemetery, as if something massive was approaching the place.
"Now we finally know where the bodies that were buried in the cemetery have gone. "The ravens don't need to look to know what is approaching them. In fact, at first, he was still curious, as a dead person who still existed in the world of the living, the lich, a being who was proficient in necromancy, did not set any traps related to corpses outside of those twisted knights. But now that I think about it, it's not that the other party is unprepared, but that it was only now that the pressure on the other party from the cheese team made the other party turn over the card.
The decaying bodies made no sound through the bushes, and the dry, ugly corpses appeared around them like puppets, their clothes long since rotting, along with their bodies and who they once were. What is here now are just the dead bodies of creatures waiting to be reunited with the earth. And since these things don't make a sound, the existence of a small sound in the bushes is naturally someone else. And these things are the ones that appear at the feet of these walking corpses or simply lie on the shriveled corpses - rats. Lots of rats.
