Chapter Thirty-Six: The Necromancer Strikes
Yuri and Virgi managed to sneak into the palace under the pretext of arresting the escaped fugitives, and went straight to the back garden, where the princess used space magic to steal a rock wall at the pool where the rainbow rose, revealing a very wide stalactite cave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cave is deep and dark, but there is a cool breeze blowing in the veins. The ground was slippery and rugged, but it was like a natural staircase, barely enough to move forward. The cave is full of strange rocks, dripping stalactites or like grapes hanging high, or springing up like mushrooms after a rain, vines grow vigorously in the freshest place of the air, through the broken rock wall you can see the waterfall hanging on the outside of the cave like a beaded curtain, the sound of the waterfall in the cave emits a dull and rich echo, like the sleeping dragon breathing.
"This cave was discovered by accident by my brother, from whom he had been sneaking out of the palace to have trysts with girls ten years ago when he was a student at the Royal Military Academy. ”
The princess sneered, "And today I will take him down completely through the passage he discovered." ”
The cave went deep into the center of the giant tree, where there were large and small mushrooms growing in the light of sight, and the water droplets were constantly whispering in the shallow pool, Virgi took out the radiant rune to illuminate the way, and found that the mushrooms on the ground in front of him had been brutally gnawed to the point of only a short stake, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
"What the hell is it...... Dare to eat the poisonous mushrooms that grow in the cave. The princess couldn't help but be worried.
Virgi held his breath and raised the lens of his left eye, and the vision in front of him turned into oppressive black and white, but the faint light from the light rune gathered in front of him, marking the unknown creature that was originally hidden in the darkness with gold, and Virgi looked at it carefully, almost nauseated.
That's a man...... To be precise, it should be a humanoid creature with a broken body.
Its skin was withered and dead, and the skin on its arms and thighs showed signs of peeling, revealing dark red tendons. But this lifeless thing is lying on the ground and munching on mushrooms in a terrifying and greedy manner. As the old saying goes, while you are watching the darkness, the darkness is watching you, and the monster seems to realize that Virgi is watching from a distance, and suddenly turns his head, the face is twisted and ugly, not to mention the blue light from the hideous strange eyes, which makes Virgy take a step back in fright.
Virgi gasped weakly and violently: "Hurry, prepare for battle, there are monsters in the cave!"
From the depths of the cavern came the voice of a woman speaking softly.
"I thought that in the noble and pure Sun Elf territory, my children would definitely go hungry. I didn't expect that there was such a good place under the palace, and there were so many poisonous mushrooms that I couldn't eat them all. My children are very fortunate to be rejuvenated. ”
The other party paused slightly: "Of course, for you, this is too unfortunate. ”
Two green flames rose into the air in front of them, and a purple-skinned moon elf mage waved his right hand with purple sharp nails, flicking the green flames lightly, and Yuri and the others saw five or six pairs of blue eyes light up at the same time.
Then the glowing-eyed creatures approached at a terrible speed, and Yuri heard only the hoarse sound of sharp claws scraping against the rock.
A second later, the monsters swooped down on the three of them in a twisted form from the top of the rock wall or in the middle of the rock gap.
"Princess, lend me a sword!"
With a swipe of her right hand, a glittering sword fell into the air, illuminating the terrifying faces of the monsters dripping with green poisonous saliva.
It's the Star Steel Sword that was captured against the Moon Shadow Knights before!
Yuri's morale was for a while, he jumped up and grabbed the Star Steel Sword, and slashed horizontally with his backhand, and the sword wind cut off the monster's claws. Then, as soon as he landed, he stabbed his sword diagonally into the air, piercing the monster's head like a rotting pumpkin.
Virgy saw the claws that landed in front of him, piercing the terrifying pattern with an unknown dark purple dye, and after a little thought, he said loudly: "These monsters are walking corpses!"
The princess was startled: "Okay, walking corpses?"
Virgie stared at the Moon Elves who were controlling the green fire, "Are you a necromancer from Cavila's Scarf?"
"I didn't expect to meet my colleagues from the Karenitz Academy here. The Moon Elf Necromancer pursed his lips and smiled.
Yuri bravely swung his sword to block the pounced walking corpses, and in the face of the walking corpses who opened their mouths and bit the Star Steel Sword fiercely, and didn't even care if their mouths were cut and their jaws fell to the ground, Yuri couldn't help but feel worried, and shouted, "This is not the time to catch up! Virgie, explain what this thing is!"
"Necromancers are magicians who manipulate the dead, either by driving evil spirits to wreak havoc or by taking the bodies of the dead and manipulating them with forbidden necromantic magic. The tattoo on the hand of the walking corpse is the magic program used by necromancers to manipulate the dead......"
"So it's okay to just destroy the tattoo?"
"The problem is that the limbs, torso and head of the walking corpse, the tattoos on different parts work on their own!"
"So that's why the severed hand can still crawl over and scratch my leg?"
Yuri angrily trampled the severed hand even more in tatters, and the sword qi resisted more and more walking corpses with the strength of one person, not to mention the strength of these monsters, they were still able to move after being cut into several pieces, and gradually those broken hands tied Yuri's legs, and he gradually felt physically exhausted.
So the walking corpse that broke through Yuri's defense line screamed and pounced on Vigi.
Virgi was of average fitness and could barely avoid the pounces of the walking corpses. Fortunately, when these monsters dealt with Virgie, they didn't pounce from all directions like they did against Yuri, but just jumped high and waved their claws at Virgil's face, which gave Virgy some room to bow his head and dodge.
Virgi suddenly realized that the only targets of their attacks were himself and Yuri, no, if you look closely, it seems that these monsters attacking her are coming for the monocle of her left eye!
At this moment of distraction, the walking corpse had already pounced in front of Virgil.
Two short daggers shot from the side, swishing through the heart of the walking corpse, nailing the walking corpse to the huge tree root next to it.
The princess had two more darts in her hand and two more darts out of thin air, and she tied the hem of her school uniform hard, put on a clean fighting stance, and asked Vicky, "Is there any way to make these dead guys who can still bounce around completely quiet!"
"The weakness of the walking corpse is fire!" Virgi snapped back to his senses and exclaimed, "Yuri, hold on for one more minute!"
"It's about a minute!" Yuri Tiger roared, gritting his teeth and pushing back half a foot from the dozen or so walking corpses pressing on his body, "The armor on my body will be gnawed through by them later!"
The princess rolled up her sleeves and quickly dodged in front of Vicky and kicked away the rushing corpse, and with a shake of her hands, seven or eight darts burst through the air at the same time, crashing into the rock wall and bouncing in all directions, hitting a little spark.
"Just a few darts for something!" Yuri was anxious, "Besides, you haven't hit yet!"
"Don't worry!
Virgie clapped his hands and slapped the flickering arc of magic in his palm towards the ground.
The darts that had just flown to the corners of the cavern and got stuck flickered red, spewing out fiery pillars of flame, sending out a hellish roar from the walking corpses that Yuri had blocked, and they were wiped out in the smelting of the fire.
Virgi raised his hand to block the scorching strong wind blowing outside the cave, and said happily: "Excellent, Your Royal Highness Princess!"
The princess put her left hand on her right arm and said domineeringly: "Don't underestimate the only person in history who beat Prince Khail and bowed his head and admitted defeat!"
The green flame in the necromancer's hand turned to normal red, and she snuffed out the flame in resentment, and said to Vicky, "Magician, are you just tearing down the platform you are walking with?"
Virgy smiled calmly: "When I was studying at the Karenitz Academy, I already knew that being the enemy of the people who disturbed the dead in the scrative convoy was actually a good deed of virtue and good. ”
The necromancer gritted his teeth slightly, took a piece of incense from the pocket embroidered with the silver skull, and lit it with the green fire of his fingertips, filling the cavern with a ghostly scent.
Yuri covered his mouth and nose: "Be careful! I'm afraid it's poison gas!"
Virgy was even more nervous, but not afraid to inhale the aroma, and said, "It's much worse than poison gas." This is the incense of the conjuring spirit. ”
"The incense of the conjuring?" the princess clenched her dagger uneasily.
"Spiritualism is much higher than the necro-control technique that manipulates the walking dead. Virgi looked intently at the necromancer, "It's summoning magic that can summon a specific deceased. ”
The necromancer smiled treacherously and said, "The large number of walking corpses just now is just to find out your truth and truth. Now that I know the three of you, knights, magicians, and thieves, I only need to summon gunners, swordsmen, and hoplites to restrain you. ”
Yuri knows the art of warfare, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel terrified, if he really had to deal with a gunner in such a narrow place, he would definitely lose the wind. And the situation of Vicky and the princess is no better than herself.
"Reborn from the abyss of hell with rage! With the earth as the trunk and the rhino as the soul, descend here and pour out the ferocious aura of the corrupt and struggling of the dead!
Three transparent human figures slowly condensed from cigarette smoke, their eyes were extremely vicious, their pupils shrunk into a small black dot, and the corpses and decay that had just been scorched by the fire slowly gathered in the human form to fill it, and the summoned gunners, swordsmen, and heavily armed samurai suddenly let out a terrifying roar at the moment of formation, and the shocking shouts echoed in the passage.
The gunman jerked out the two crimson revolvers from his belt, leaped backwards, and hid in the darkness, followed by a steady stream of bullets from all sides, bouncing off Yuri even as they hit the rock wall. Yuri could only desperately swing his sword to block, but the first wave of attacks had already brought Yuri several abrasions.
