Chapter 1203: The Battle of the Mad Lich Tower
After devouring the Banshee of the Underworld, the ugly wax melter didn't seem satisfied, and squirmed towards another nearby undead creature. Around the Wax Melting Demon, there were many spider creatures of the same kind and more than a dozen different kinds mixed with those undead creatures, and the battle continued to break out. These pets of the spider goddess Rose, naturally they are all summoned by the queen of spiders, the waiter of the queen of spiders, the mother of the Spider Hero, their combat power is relatively strong, although the number is limited, but as a summoned creature, even if they die on the spot, they are only released from the summon, and the mother of the Spider Mother can get a steady stream of replenishment from the spider goddess she believes in anytime and anywhere.
The huge army of the undead is completely powerless to stop the advance of Ryan and the others, not because they are incompetent but because the enemy is too strong, and the combination of three demigods is enough to run rampant throughout the Otherworld, and the gap between them cannot be bridged by numbers, which becomes more and more obvious as the battle line gradually advances towards the depths of the Mad Lich Tower.
"Stand down!" a cold voice that was extremely pleasant to listen to in the ears echoed in the space of the Mad Lich Tower, although it was not very loud, but it was also clearly transmitted to everyone's heart. Under this order, Ryan found that the dense undead creatures around him quickly left into the distance, and the group of undead in front of him cracked a gap, and a woman wearing a purple mage's robe slowly walked out of the sea of corpses and stood in front of the three demigods.
"Catherine!" Ryan couldn't help but squeeze the familiar name out of his teeth after seeing the other party's face clearly.
"Ryan!" Catherine's voice is still so pleasant, but the eyes that look at Ryan are very complicated, thinking about the situation when she looked down on the other party from the sky above the Royal Arena in Fernando City ten years ago, Catherine only felt that her lips were slightly bitter, at that time she could crush the other party with some means against Ryan, but ten years later, even if her strength is better than when she was a lich after reversing into a human, she is not even qualified to look up to the other party when she faces the young man in front of her againγ
At this moment, Catherine's unbreakable confidence, who was determined to do whatever it took to gain great power because of what happened to her, seemed to have some kind of unpredictable crack, and a thought that had never appeared at all in her daily life quickly flashed through her mind: "Maybe following the teacher who is a demigod lich may not be the only way to gain supreme power, maybe...... Maybe I'm missing something!"
Catherine quickly suppressed the thought almost as soon as it flashed through her, and she continued to Ryan with an unchanged expression: "There are also two kings, Herestel and Mossardfell, please come with me, the teacher has been waiting for a few more hours!"
"Lead the way!" As the leader of the three people, Mossalzfeller opened his mouth to respond, he didn't have any interest in these undead and Catherine in front of him, as a demigod king, since the other party didn't plan to continue to stop him, he didn't bother to bother in this regard, after all, just warmed up with the mentality of a game, if he really wanted to do it, Prince Mossazfeller could even destroy a super giant city with a population of hundreds of millions in an instant, and how could it be as simple as tearing apart the armor on a few dark knights.
Under Catherine's guidance, Ryan and the other three soon arrived at the palace where the demigod Lich Cons was located. It's not appropriate to say that this is a palace, because this space doesn't have any boundaries like walls, but the surrounding environment is always shrouded in a layer of deep darkness, whether it is direct observation with vision or magic detection with mental power, it is only limited to a small area around it, so it will give people the feeling of being in a huge palace.
A huge golden skeleton composed of pure energy floated quietly in the center of this palace, its two eyeless eye sockets continued to radiate a cold and evil dark aura, this terrifying aura full of pseudo-divine power did not spread out to the surroundings to bring any sense of oppression to Ryan, but was almost perfectly absorbed by an unusually complex and equally huge magic array on the ground, I don't know how to go, only the slightest leakage of the occasional leakage made Ryan vaguely feel that this dark aura was slightly similar to the black viscous mist shrouded in the cursed crypt outsidePerhaps this is the source of secret techniques such as the undead transformation ritual.
When Catherine came to the huge skeleton that emitted a dull golden halo, she first bowed and saluted in a rather respectful manner, and then she stood up straight and said, "Teacher, the three guests have arrived!" The golden skeleton did not speak, but directly transferred Catherine out with her own strength, the Mad Lich Tower is basically equivalent to the pseudo-god domain of the demigod lich, just like the shadow plane of the Queen of the Night, not to mention that Catherine will not have the consciousness of resistance at all, even if she wants to fight against the power of the demigod lich, with her strength worthy of stepping into the realm of the realm, she is powerless.
After Catherine's figure disappeared, the golden skeleton, the demigod Lich Cons, spoke out: "Mossalzfeller, Herest, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Is it really you?" Herestle and Mossalzfeller couldn't help but change their faces slightly when they heard the demigod lich say this, because the other party seemed very familiar when he said his name, which showed that today was not the first meeting between the three people, so according to the previous speculation about the origin of the demigod Lich Cons, could he really be the new god who ignited the divine fire but was hunted down by other demigods in the other world and fell? Of course, such a change in the Mother of Herestle and Prince Mossazfele may not be due to fear of the opponent, but just a subconscious reaction when they think of the fierce battle at the beginning.
As if guessing the thoughts of the Thor Demon and the Dark Elves, the demigod Lich Cons spoke again: "No, it's not what you think, in fact, Ballock, who took that step, has fallen, and I just fused with a distraction left by him, so I have mastered some of his skills and powers." I think you'll be familiar with this, Lane, as you've been exposed to a failed fusion during your adventures in the underwater world. β
"Death of a Thousand Souls?" Ryan said the name with a frown, and then he spoke, "So the bloodline who crossed the plane is ......" Ryan paused slightly, he seemed to want to find a more appropriate word to describe it, but because he didn't know much about the ins and outs of the thing mentioned by the demigod lich, the sentence was stuck for several seconds, and he still couldn't find a suitable adjective.
"You don't think I'm only focusing on the plane of Eslar, do you?" The demigod Lich Cons was also hiding something, and responded directly: "The power to transform living beings into undead, but the domain power I have obtained, how can the bloodline, who is known for its speed and grace, be willing to give up his beloved body? He is just one of the many targets I have chosen, but unfortunately the bloodline's thirst for life has made him fall short!"
"So, Alexander the Emperor, the catastrophe of two hundred years ago, and the many previous sufferings of the human world, were all manipulated by you behind the scenes?" Ryan asked the question that had been hidden in his mind, even though he had already guessed the answer.
"No, no, I don't think so!" The demigod Lich Cons replied in the negative, but the next words said: "I just saw a lot of accidents appear, as an embellishment to pass the boring time in a long life, and pushed it in the back, in fact, everything you said, the result was caused by the inability of the person concerned to control their desires, and I at most accelerated the process, or provided them with such an opportunity." β
The words of the demigod Lich Cons were not only unexpected by Ryan, but also within the sense that Ryan could understand, such as the fall of Emperor Andrew and his empire, not because of the Alexander-Andrew Emperor's desire for life, but in his quest for immortality, he was lured by Nicholas, the deputy of the demigod lich, to a path that seemed to be extremely correct, but was diametrically opposed to his own expectations. And the bloodline that became the Death of a Thousand Souls, most of them were in a similar situation, and in the end they also became an immortal monster, Ryan believed that there should be such examples in the human world and other planes, but his life course had only gone through a short period of thirty years, and he had not had much access to this information.
"What about the catastrophe two hundred years ago, don't tell me it was caused by some human careerist!" Ryan threw away the other details and asked about this tragic event that still affects the human world.
"This is a childish question that you shouldn't ask, it seems that you haven't been able to adapt to your new identity yet!" said the demigod Lich Conse. You must know that we are already demigods who have escaped from mortals, and at least we can have a lifespan of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, such a long time will not only witness the rise and fall of countless empires, but also the rise and fall of countless species, and it is even possible to witness the birth of a new plane or the collapse of an old plane. To use the proverb of your race, the pastures are more lush when the snow is covered, so do you have to remove all the mosquitoes, rats and ants intact when you clean and tidy up your room?"
