Chapter 45: The Holy Flame
The entrance to the Cave of the Dead, once a low hill, has collapsed into a field of rubble, leaving only a large black cavern. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The entrance to the cave has now become a veritable cave of the dead, and in front of the entrance, countless ghouls and acolytes are building a huge hall of the dead.
And a large necropolis has been built nearby, more than a dozen crypts. The two towers of the Spirits are located on the left and right sides of the Hall of the Dead under construction, and if Fergus's party enters the Cave of the Dead, they will be attacked, for example.
The good news is that, in addition to the ghouls and acolytes, there are only about thirty Black Knights, two necromantic knight squads led by Death Knights, and hundreds of zombies wandering aimlessly.
Other ranged undead, such as gargoyles, skeleton mages, vampires, and other long-range undead, were not present.
Entrance to the Cave of the Dead.
Thousands of ghouls carry rocks on their backs and transport them to the acolytes, who adapt to the undead magic and integrate the rocks into the cornerstone, and the huge hall of the dead gradually reveals its hideous appearance.
The two fourth-order death knights patrolled each other with their squads, and occasionally met, only nodding and crossing each other. Although the undead have lost their feelings, the high-level undead still have some memories of their lifetime, which are the source of power and the source of the undead's pain.
When the two Death Knights parted, they both turned their heads slightly to look at the Necropolis for a moment, because there was a trace of the breath of the living there.
In the necropolis, a human in a gray mage's robe is skillfully summoning an acolyte from the necropolis, a beginner necromancer, and in the middle of his actions, there is occasionally a hint of the breath of the living.
Necromancers are different from necromancers, and although they deal with these dead bones for many years, most of them belong to living humans. Only high-level necromancers will transform into more powerful lichs with eternal life. Necromancers, on the other hand, are transformed from ghosts who were mages in their lifetimes.
The acolyte is a special kind of undead, the aborigines of the underworld, only the necromancer is summoned from the underworld through the necropolis, and must be paid, otherwise it will attract the curse of the Hades, and the acolyte can no longer be summoned from the underworld for a lifetime, and it is a kind of undead who is in a mercenary relationship.
The acolyte is a civilian race in the underworld, very good at building, and its reputation in the underworld is comparable to that of the dwarves on the continent of Nantes. It's a pity that in the underworld of the jungle, this race with low combat effectiveness is destined to be the object of oppression by the major undead races, if it weren't for the value they would still build, they were very cheap labor, and there were countless birthplaces in the underworld, which would have been extinct a long time ago.
Just as these undead machines were transporting and building the Hall of the Dead, the earth suddenly shook regularly, and from far and near, there was a series of horses' hooves.
In the vast mist, it suddenly rolled back, and a spear head with a golden light pierced through the layers of fog and appeared in the air, and then the second spear head came out one after another, and the third...
This is exactly the elite squad that Fergus and others rushed into.
The sudden arrival of the human team suddenly broke the peace of this undead entrance, and the black knights who were scattered everywhere as overseers drew their black long swords without thinking and ran towards Fergus.
"Don't stop, keep up. Fergus, who had broken through the gray fog, saw the Hall of the Dead under construction at a glance, found the entrance to the Cave of the Dead behind it, turned his head and saw hundreds of undead around him, and hurriedly commanded, leading the team to change direction and rush towards the Hall of the Dead.
"Roar!" Thousands of ghouls, along with hundreds of zombies spotting the vibrant human creatures, all let out a deafening roar and frantically pounced on Fergus's team.
Fergus rode a thousand, and in just a moment, he encountered two black warriors with black ** power, shouting, "Kill!", and the spear in his hand shook wildly.
Poof!
Poof!
The spear pierced into tofu, and it exploded the heads of the two black warriors, and at the same time, the magic power on the spear head exploded, extinguishing the soul fire of the black warriors, and they were completely killed.
"Good job. Fergus felt Benson and Morey each knock a Black Knighter away behind him, with an appreciative expression. Looking back at the ghouls and zombies rushing up frantically, his face did not move, he put his horse's head in one hand, and shouted, "Reverend Charles, Master Green, it's up to you." ā
Charles and Grimm were silent, each raising the staff in their hands, and their magic power swelled dramatically.
"Firestorm!"
At this time, time is money, and instead of using the third-order range magic Hell Flame, which requires a long time of chanting spells, the Hell Flame, which is also a group magic but with a narrower range, Flame Storm.
And the Firestorm, as soon as it appears, there are three, which appear on the left, right, and front of the team. This is Green, as a disciple of the Great Demon Master Giles, when he left the school, the precious staff given by the mentor himself, engraved with a second-order compound magic array.
This is a "Replica Memory" circle that can reproduce two magic of the same level at the same time when releasing second-order magic.
The difficulty level of the second-order compound magic array is comparable to that of the fifth-order.
The three violent firestorms gradually expanded, and suddenly rolled up countless ghouls and zombies, burning into ashes in the air and scattering the earth.
The ghoul zombies who pounced on him had to make a detour, buying time for the Fergus team to breathe a few minutes and run hundreds of meters to the hall of the dead before being surrounded by ghouls.
"Divine Link!"
"Holy fire!"
Charles, who was silent for a while, finally released two divine spells that were also rare in the Holy See of Light when the ghouls surrounded him.
The Divine Link is a fourth-order magic that links the life, mana, and stamina of allies together with an amplitude of 30%, and this magic can often save hundreds of people.
Although the Holy Fire is relatively one order lower than the Divine Link, and only belongs to the third-order divine arts, it is more effective than any other divine magic in dealing with undead creatures.
I saw that Charles first released a golden chain and quickly colluded with everyone in the team, and the members of the team suddenly felt that their vitality was doubled, their magic power was boiling, and the killing was smoother, and the ghoul's corrosive claws could not break through the magic armor on their bodies at all.
The frenzied swing in Charles's hand suddenly spilled out holy flames in the sky, these flames seemed to have life, and they pounced on the ghouls one by one, and some of the flames fell on the team members, not only were they not injured by mistake, but they were attached to the armor and weapons.
As long as the team members touch the ghouls with weapons attached to the holy flames, the ghouls will turn to ashes, and only the black warriors mixed with the ghouls can resist one or two with dark magic.
