5. Call of the Abyss
"Whew! It's finally done!"
Rattle pulled up the long sleeves of his elaborate robe, rudely wiped the sweat on his face, and Elivan also stood beside him panting, standing in front of them was a super large magic circle covering an area of ten square meters, and an altar like a square tripod, Rattle depicted the magic patterns according to the pattern one by one, and the people who looked at it were dizzy, which was the result of the two of them busy for three or four hours. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Now it's time for Roman to come out! Now pray that we're lucky enough, we don't need too much, as long as two legendary demons can answer the call!
Elivan muttered these words over and over like a cultist, Rattle prayed with his hands together for the first time, and Trisleyman, the king of warlocks who was about to return to Sam City, forced them to leave their fate to luck.
"Let's go, pick up Roman!"
Rattle opened his eyes, the eyes of this vicious magister were full of ferocity, like a violent bear that had been forced into a corner, giving up all vanity, and the next moment he was going to choose someone to devour, Elivan also put the hood of his robe deep on his head, almost drooping to cover his eyes, the young man seemed to have returned to the evil appearance when he was cleaning the first layer of the black prison by himself, and the whole person exuded a kind of indifference that no one should enter.
In this way, the strange combination of two people, one big and one small, left the summoning circle in the most remote part of the second level of the Black Prison side by side, and Rattle left several hidden surveillance guards around the circle, and as soon as someone approached, they could immediately get the news.
However, when the two of them gradually approached Roman's broken house, Eleven's nose suddenly smelled a strange smell, which seemed to be like the fishy sweetness of bad food, and like the smell of blood, and even more strange was that there was a faint smell of sulfur in this smell, and the next moment, Eleven's face changed greatly, he quickly rushed to Roman's house, and shouted to Rattle in a low voice,
"That idiot tried to summon himself, let's go! I hope he won't be torn apart by those crazy demons!"
Rattle's face also changed abruptly, Roman was their only chance to escape, if something happened to Roman, he couldn't believe how crazy he would be! So the latter simply waved his robe, and the whole person flew up a palm's distance from the ground, this is a special magic that can only be mastered by a magister - quasi-flight, a kind of high-consumable spell used for short-range rapid travel, using its own magic to counteract gravity.
When Rattle flew past Elivan, he grabbed his waist and lifted him up, which made the Magister's figure stumble, but he quickly regained his stability and continued to slide forward at high speed, and soon reached Roman's room, and now even Rattle, who was very insensitive to the elements, smelled the smell of sulfur, this is, the smell of the Nether!
The two of them glanced at each other, Rattle rolled up his sleeves neatly, and with a blazing fireball, he smashed the door that Roman had managed to put together for the second time, and a short body rushed into the room, Elevenn followed, but when the two of them entered the dim living room, they found that the entire living room was empty, leaving only the small six-pointed star circle on the floor in the center of the living room that was still smoking,
Elevenn crouched down, twisted the already mixed circle with his hand wrapped in flames, and said to Rattle with a gloomy face,
"I've already used it! The bad news is that the summon is successful! The good news is that the summon shouldn't be too strong, after all, Roman doesn't have a good sacrificial item on hand in a hurry. ”
Rattle's face was as black as a pot, he looked left and right, the living room was so big, there was no place to hide a living person, not to mention that there was no trace of a fight around here, could it be that Roman, a dignified high-level mage, was so simply taken away by a creature from the lower realm that was not so strong?
However, when Rattle looked left and right, somewhere behind him, a short and obscene figure slowly emerged from the corner, and the guy who couldn't see the form raised his small hand, and a long whip composed entirely of shadow energy whipped towards Rattle's neck, but it didn't bring the slightest wind, but this little thing also underestimated the combat experience of a Magister, and at the moment when the long whip with almost no body was close to Rattle's neck, a starlight vortex suddenly appeared behind the Magister, and then a majestic giant claw burst out, and a claw tore the energy whip to pieces, and the attacker also let out a shocking "Ahhhh
"I've been attacked! Well, I don't know what the hell it is. ”
Rattle grabbed Eleven's and gestured to him with his hands,
"Just now I kept an eye on the door and put an invisible guard on the place, and I saw a small thing of this size appear from the corner and give me a whip with a wave of my hand, but I was prepared, but it still ran away!"
Elevenn carefully looked at the size of the monster drawn by Rattle, and had a faint bottom in his heart, so he put his mind at ease, he raised his head and motioned for Rattle to stand behind him, the latter quickly closed his mouth and looked around vigilantly, Elevenn closed his eyes and began to call the elements in the room, and soon, the elements in the entire living room boiled, and then evenly distributed on every inch of the ground under Eleven's control, and then Elevenn squatted down, ten fingers slid quickly on the ground, and finally snorted.
"Frozen!"
"Huh!"
Under the deliberate manipulation of the teenager, all the elements began to frost almost at the same time, although the degree of frosting was very low due to the excessive dispersion of power, and even a finger could be easily twisted, but Elivan's original intention was not to fix, but to force out the sneak attacker who had been hiding in other phases, ready to say, it was the imp summoned by Roman who had gone **** luck to force out.
So here, I think it is necessary to give readers some common sense about imps, the imps mentioned here are not supernatural products in our usual sense, but a kind of indigenous demons that originate from the endless abyss and don't know that layer, this kind of demon has an extremely strange form, they and their indigenous creatures similar to the real plane - goblins, heads that are so large that they don't match their thin bodies at all, bare foreheads generally have two ornament-like demon horns, and the whole body is wrapped in a thin layer of chaotic flames, and the eyes shine with a treacherous gaze and the demon's signature chaotic flames,Donkey-like long ears generally carry rough earrings of gold quality,There is also a saying that earrings are a symbol of the identity of the imp,No earrings are ordinary imps,One is the elite of the imp,Two are the ghost centurion,Three are the ghost thousand,Four are the ghost elders,And then there are more imp liars.,In fact, the highest level of the social composition of the devil is the ghost elder.,Unless a ghost lord is born,Otherwise, the ghost elder is the ultimate form of this demon.。
So the question is, as the first summon preferred by ordinary warlocks, is the strength of the imp weak? That's right, looking at all the records of the Warlock Servant in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the imp is probably the weakest single summon of all summons except for the eye of Kilrog, the latter has no combat power at all, and is completely an eyeball monster based on reconnaissance, but in a macro sense, the imp is definitely not weak, how can a demon race that can occupy an entire plane in the endless abyss of destroying the family and the clan at every turn be called weak? In fact, when in a battle, once the number of imps breaks through a certain magnitude, even if there is a true god on the opposite side, they have to temporarily avoid the edge, and the reason is that the imps have a certain chance of walking in the phase of a talent magic --- in the field during their growth.
Phase,This is a very mysterious concept of magic,In general, it is located in the plane of reality and the endless void of a half-plane similar to the shadow plane often used by stalkers,But unlike other planes that really exist,Phase is only a relative concept,So far,There is no definitive evidence to prove the existence of phase,But in fact,It really exists,It's like a twin plane that covers the surface of reality all the time,Once the imp hides in it,It's equivalent to being invisible in the real world.,Except for curse and must-hit spells,Almost any attack can be dodged. But because it doesn't smuggle into another dimension, it can jump out at any time and anywhere to attack you again, and some of the legendary imp elders can even directly launch a deadly attack on the enemy in the phase form, which is simply the top spell assassin.
And the phase walk of the imp can be invisible with the owner, although due to the different medium, the phase walking effect can not last for a long time, but it can definitely help the warlocks to avoid countless deadly attacks, which is why there will always be a ghost in the common summons of those powerful warlocks recorded in the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, which is simply more powerful than the most powerful defensive spell!
Elivan's blow could not attack the imps in the phase, he knew this, he took advantage of the imps' fear of cold, although not all creatures in the lower realms would be extremely disgusted with cold, such as the ice demons in the Ice Hell who enjoyed the cold extremely much, but these special creatures would definitely not include the imps who were timid by nature, so just as the ice wave swept through the room, an irrepressible scream and an obviously familiar exclamation sounded at the same time.
"Oh my God, don't freeze poor Prise! Poor Priss is just playing with you!"
"Oh my God! God destroyed my living room!"
Seeing the dazed Roman stand up from behind the sofa with a green imp on his head rubbing his eyes and roaring, Rattle sneered and snorted, pulled his sleeve and walked over, while Elevenn moved his wrist, which was a little sore from casting spells too quickly, until his face immediately became gloomy when he saw the shining nails like ice crystals at the tips of the ten fingers of his hands.
What I was worried about really happened, did the frequent use of spells during this period of time cause the elemental erosion that had not appeared for a long time to recur again?
Immersed in his own world, Elivan did not hear the screams and Rattle's roar from behind him, as well as the frightened screams of the imp, but when the magister vented his anger, the three of them finally embarked on the road to the magic circle, although Roman has been complaining about Rattle's savagery along the way, but from the action he has been talking about the imp on his shoulder, it can be seen that he has indeed been obsessed with the knowledge that Elavin gave him that does not belong to this world, and occasionally you can see the little ghost with a rough gold earring on Roman's shoulder The ghost head and ghost brain appear from the phase, and please say a few words to Roman, and quickly hid in the phase's skillful movements, even if it was Eleven, who was in a terrible mood at this time, he couldn't help but sigh,
"In the first call that can be called full of mistakes, I drew an elite imp who awakened the phase walking, this is the luck of the sky, is this guy the legendary face fighter who can turn decay into magic?"
No matter what Elivan and Rattle think, Roman was still very nervous at the moment, although he had made a temporary decision to arrange a simple summoning ritual with the materials at hand, and recited the wrong spell two or three times during the period, but no matter what, the final result was still successful, when his will was carried by the shadow power and drifted in the endless void, a timid but yearning for the endless world soul actually took the initiative to contact him, and completed the originally cumbersome soul contract without much effort, so if you want to talk about experience, he has it, but if you want to talk about how reliable this experience is, he really can't guarantee it, Especially when he saw the huge magic circle at the end of the road, which was so huge that he was a little dizzy at a glance, Roman suddenly felt some discomfort in his abdomen, but he looked left and right, and the faces of Rattle and Elivan were full of paranoid madness and unreserved killing intent, and then Roman coaxed, obediently picked up the soul crystals that Rattle had carved those broken real names, and in the sincere expectation of the two people, he staggered on the way to the altar.
But when Roman took a deep breath and stood in front of the altar about to input shadow power to activate the altar, he suddenly found a very serious problem, and hurriedly jumped down from the altar, ran to the two people, held those soul crystals that exuded strange power, and asked breathlessly,
"I'm just a beginner in this area, though..."
"Rookie, thank you!"
Elivan made no secret of his disdain for Roman in the study of the essence of the shadow element, directly interrupted Roman's words, and then gave him a new rating, but in the face of Elivan's cold words, Roman didn't refute it too much, from that book on, he no longer dared to underestimate Elivan, a little mage who seemed to have just reached the middle level, he organized his language and asked again,
"I mean, these real names all seem like they're mutilated, so can they really summon legendary creatures?"
When Rattle heard this, he rubbed his forehead helplessly, which was also something he and Elevenn had been worried about, but Ellevin didn't hit Roman again this time, but sighed and said slowly,
"First of all, we really can't get the real name of the legendary creature, it seems that you really don't know much about this aspect, you can ask your little imp Price, for creatures from the non-reality plane, what does the real name mean, to be honest, I can get this, I already admire the ancestor of my Mogedin family!"
Rattle nodded in agreement, he was also frightened by the list that Elivan took out before, that is the real name of the real legendary creature, even if it is incomplete, but the number is too terrifying, even if it is lucky every time, and the list of dozens of people is knocked out, it is enough to summon one or two legendary creatures, that is a legendary creature, an existence half a level higher than the arcanist, and it is a top slaughterer in the El Continent.
However, neither of them expected that Elivan had told a small lie here, that the list was only a weaker part of the famous and powerful creatures in his memory, but no one would dare to imagine that a thirteen-year-old boy would have such a terrifying thing in his mind.
"Second, with your current strength, even if I give you a copy of the real name of the legendary creature, can you read it? Do you understand it? It is the top power embodiment condensed by the oath of the supreme Styx, let alone reading, even if you look at it, that terrible negative energy impact is enough to make the three people present become drooling idiots, and the legendary creature is so easy to control? What does the book I gave you say at the end?"
Roman thought for a moment and read out a warning left by the author of the book at the end,
"Summoning low-level creatures can achieve complete control, but once the power of the creatures surpasses the mundane and reaches the legend or above, then the so-called contract must only be an equal contract for the lowest level of souls, especially for some creatures with fraudulent abilities or deep soul research, even if they violate the soul contract to devour the host, it is just commonplace. ”
After reading it, he himself was in a cold sweat, and shouted almost angrily,
"What if the summoning is successful? Wouldn't there be a good chance that I would be killed?"
Then he saw Elivan looking at him with an idiotic look,
"Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? All you need is to enter the shadow power, activate the altar, recite a eulogy, and then throw the soul crystal into it, and we don't have to worry about the rest!"
After speaking, Elivan thrust the soul crystal into Roman's hand, and whispered to him in a voice like a cold winter wind,
"Remember, our goal is not to control the legendary creature, our goal is just to give him a door to Sam City, and then let him do anything here, so that we can take advantage of the chaos to escape the gray plains!
Roman's eyes changed immediately, he glanced at Elevenn in disbelief, and then at Rattle, both of whom looked at him with some kind of deep meaning, the poor shadow mage couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and was no longer ready to say anything, but as soon as he took two steps, he turned back again, and now even Rattle, who had a relationship with him, couldn't help it.
Looking at Rattle's irritable demeanor, Roman hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mean to give up, and he said quickly,
"But this altar only opens one door to space at most, and if we throw them all in, what if we manage to get two, or even three legendary creatures?
At this time, Elivan's face did change, he and Rattle had been thinking about the extremely low probability of success in summoning, and they were ready to summon it once on the second floor of the Black Prison, and then summon it again in the center of Sam City, if it failed, just find a place to make up for it again, anyway, although the soul crystal is rare, the magic material store in Sam City always has some inventory, and for the desperate, it is simply inexhaustible, but they haven't thought about what to do if there is a multiple-level legendary demon in the real one? But it's not their fault, under great pressure, the two have always thought from the worst perspective, while Roman has always considered from an optimistic point of view.
"Good boy, you've got you!"
Elivan took the soul crystal handed over by Roman, and then the three of them squatted on the ground and discussed for a while, and made a decision, or summon twice as before, but the first time do not invest all the soul crystals, but try one by one, according to the record of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the real name actually contains a lot of information, including the power level of this creature and other information, when the information in it is complete, it is actually equivalent to an accurate spatial coordinate, which can be 100% connected to the creature you want to summon, and the broken real name is also a spatial coordinate, but this coordinate is very inaccurate, it is equivalent to you are looking for a stranger, if his origin information is complete, then you are likely to be able to find him at one time, but if his information is incomplete, then you have to find him in a village, a county, or even a province, although you can also find him, but the probability is too low, and Elivan They are now going to hit this probability.
The wear time of a soul crystal in the void is about half an hour to an hour, during which time, it will keep spreading the requests of the summoner and the spatial coordinates of the place where Eliven is located to the surroundings, because the soul crystal is engraved with part of the true name of the legendary creature, so even if it is accidentally thrown into the monster pile when summoning, the faint legendary aura will prevent any other creature below the creature's power level from destroying it, that is, even if the soul crystal is accidentally destroyed and other creatures discover the coordinates given by Elivan, it is definitely the same as the power level of the summon, or even higher than the creature of the summonThey weren't trying to make a pact with legendary creatures anyway, so they achieved their goal.
"Then let's do it, we have six soul crystals on hand, throw one at a time, with an interval of an hour, Roman, you carefully distinguish clearly, once a creature responds to the call, you immediately open the portal, and then we will withdraw immediately!"
"Hmm!"
Roman let out a sigh of relief, casually chose two of the six crystals that looked more pleasing to the eye, and then mustered up his courage, strode up to the altar, imprinted his hands on the altar, and slowly entered the shadow power, these powers accompanied by the complex magic circle that came out of the center of the altar in all directions quickly covered the entire magic circle, and for a while, Roman's figure was shrouded in the dark light of the six-pointed star floating from the ground.
Roman's hoarse and deep voice quickly recited the incantation of the summoning ritual, which was not written in the language of the El Continent, but a special language for summoning called the spirit language, probably due to the radiation of the magic circle, which caused the voice to carry a hint of charm,
"grandeevuotosenzafine, tusialodato (great and endless void, praise be to you!)"
"Iltuoumileservosuquestarichiesta (Your humble servant hereby requests,)"
"Senzadubbiomihadatoiltuopotere, (bestow upon me your undoubted might),"
"saràlatuaspadapiu'fortechemihadato, (Give me your sharpest sword),"
"Iltuoservopiu'valorosotaskforceperaiutareme, (Send your bravest servant to help me,)"
"Iltuotestimonediquestocontrattosaràaltissimo, esistesempre, (This supreme covenant will be eternal under your witness)"
"Ilfiumestige, Stella, Elavanità dinomesupremo, (in the name of the River Styx, the starry sky, and the everywhere void,)"
"Apriquestaporta, tuttiimondi!"
As Roman's voice grew louder and louder, the power of the six shadow crystals fixed to the earth around the six-pointed star began to be extracted, and then a tall, rectangular dark door appeared abruptly above the circle and the altar, behind the door was an endless starry sky, and the door frame was burning with an eternal green flame, just a little bit of it was enough to make you realize what life is better than death.
Roman and the other two looked at the gate that had brought them great pressure, everyone was feeling the power of heaven and earth, but they did not forget to get down to business, Roman picked up a soul crystal from the altar and pressed it to his forehead, as if asking for the blessing of the gods, he opened his eyes and threw the crystal forward with force.
The next moment, a ripple like water appeared on the gate of the eternal existence, and it quickly dissipated.
Now all they can do is wait.
