Chapter 42: "The Call"
In one of the rooms in the temple of the evil god Hernaste Caesarsara, a man with blond hair and golden eyes, dressed in the Heavy Tribulation of Heresy and wearing orc-style heavy armor boots, is dismembering a zombie deer that has been cut in two by something.
The sharp big sword slashed at the head of the zombie deer that was still struggling to survive, smashing the head of the zombie deer, and for a while, the rancid brain pulp and semi-coagulated blood splashed everywhere, and a terrible stench filled a room, this stench was like a pile of rotten eggs that had been put for I don't know how many years, it was really disgusting.
The man's face was almost twisted into a ball at the smell of this stench that could not be expressed in words, and it was obvious that he didn't like to smell it, but who would like it?
After the man killed the zombie deer, several worms the size of normal human arms, dragging fat and bloated bodies, crawled over with great difficulty, and three black, pincer-like mouthparts, opened and closed when the worms crawled, looking very hungry.
Seeing this, the man threw the corpse of the zombie deer in front of the worms, and then turned and left the room, he didn't want to stay in this rancid place any longer.
After leaving the room where the worm was, the man walked straight out of the temple, stood on the gray and white earth of Hades, and took a deep breath, although the air here was not as full of life as the spirit world, there was only silent death and dark coldness, but these were much better than the rancid stench emitted by zombie deer.
Lying down on a pile of bones very casually, looking at the blood-red crescent moon full of death energy that slowly rotated in the sky of Hades, the man sighed slightly, and whispered in his mouth, "Twenty years, twenty years!! when will I be able to go home??"
The man lying on the pile of bones was none other than Xiu Yi, who had been besieged in the temple at the beginning, and with the support of the death energy spewing out from the spatial crack, it took him and Kami a full eighteen years to completely kill the undead who surrounded the temple.
Now that he is a fifth-order necromancer, he can already learn the two dual-attribute magics recorded in the artifact, in addition, when advancing from the second to the fifth order, the god of death has also bestowed six different magics, but most of them are useless magic, such as third-order magic that is ineffective against the undead, grief-stricken, third-order magic, madness, fourth-order magic, junk magic such as pain, and fourth-order magic that has no value in the underworld, and flesh and blood restoration techniques.
Flesh Recovery is a type of magic used by lichs to revert to their pre-living forms, and may be useful in the living world, but in the underworld... It's better to make a skeleton, of course, it's not useless, at least it can increase Xiuyi's confidence to go home.
In addition to these four useless spells, when you advance to the fifth order, the two spells bestowed by the god of death are very good spells, namely, the group retardation technique and the tracking fireball technique.
The group retardation technique is an advanced version of the sluggishness technique, which can slow down up to a hundred enemies, and it can be a 74% slowdown, which is very scary, like two warriors fighting, if one of them is 74% slower than the other, the result can be imagined.
Tracking the fireball technique is also an advanced version of magic, but it is an advanced version of the fireball technique, its power is only a little higher than the fireball technique, but this does not affect its fifth-order magic honor in the slightest, although, its power is not great, but it has this extremely high tracking ability, and can even avoid obstacles, directly hit the enemy, it can be said that this magic is quite good magic.
The combat power of the fifth-order Xiu Yi is completely different from that of the second order, not only the magic power, the increase in quantity, but also the great increase in the casting speed and the total amount of mana, taking the death ray as an example, the original three-second condensation time, in the hands of the fifth order, only 1.5 seconds, fifty casts, has also become 297 times, under the multi-faceted enhancement, Xiuyi's combat power has risen more than ten times in a straight line.
Hearing Xiuyi's exclamation, Cami, who was attached to the pendant of the cross, asked with some concern, "Are you homesick?"
Seeing that there were never any stars in the underworld, only a huge blood-red crescent moon in the sky, Xiu Yi sighed and said with some sadness, "Yes~ I'm a little homesick, I should have been dead for twenty years, and Milina should be thirty years old now, right?? Maybe she is married and has children, right?"
"Hehe, maybe when you get home, you'll already be a grandfather. Kami smiled softly, she knew that Milina was Xiuyi's daughter, and she also knew that Xiuyi liked this daughter very much, when talking about the family, Xiuyi would definitely talk about Milena first, and his wife's affairs, but rarely said, she always felt that there was some contradiction between Xiuyi and his wife, but she never said this idea.
"Grandpa? Possibly. Xiui looked at the sky, smiled slightly, and said no more.
He was only 29 years old when he died, and now he should be 49 years old, and there are many grandfathers and grandfathers in the spiritual world at this age, so it is very likely that he is already a grandfather.
"The stars are falling in the sky, the trees on the ground are green, the children are sleeping quietly, in that sweet dreamland, the clouds are gradually drifting away, the sun is gently setting, the moon is slowly rising, in that beautiful dreamland..."
Kami stayed in the pendant of the cross, listening quietly, without making the slightest sound, thinking about the sweetness of Huey's song.
Xiuyi's voice sounded very young, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, not at all like a forty-nine-year-old person, maybe he did it unintentionally or deliberately, right? However, it could also be the reason for the skeleton of this body now, after all, it is not surprising that he has changed his skeleton body several times in the past eighteen years.
Singing and singing, Xiui suddenly stood up from the pile of bones, and glanced at it, far away from here, he saw a small green point of light there, which flashed slightly, seeing this, he frowned slightly, and then, walked towards the temple of the evil god.
Which green light spot, he knows what it is, a space-time gate created by summoning magic, usually used to summon primary or second-order creatures, the magic of the undead, these summoning creatures, the mages of the undead, generally speaking, the rank will not be high there, otherwise, they will not strengthen their strength through summoning.
These mages are found in all corners of "Redis", especially the Demon Realm and the Soul Realm, the reason why Xiu Yi walked to the temple was because he didn't want to be summoned to the Demon Realm, but he still couldn't escape, a magic array bursting out of green light, suddenly appeared, Xiu Yi's feet, sucked him in, but, when he arrived on the other side of the magic array, he immediately found that he was not summoned to the Demon Realm, but came to the Soul Realm.
