Chapter 616: The Corpse Witch King's Test
This black shadow was dressed in a dark golden robe, and it was an undisguised skeleton, holding a strange-looking bone staff in his hand, and a silver crown on his head, and the most conspicuous thing was the two blue faint lights in the skull, like a burning ghost fire, which made people shudder.
Race: Corpse Witch King.
Comprehensive strength assessment: S.
Physique A-, liliang A-, Mental S+, Speed A.
Analysis: (doppelganger).
Among the necromancers, the lowest and most common is the magic of skeleton transformation, which can transform bones into controllable skeleton warriors, but there is also a more advanced and dangerous transformation magic, which can transform itself into an undead necromancer through secret elixirs and rituals, which is the corpse witch.
It was not the first time Chen Rui had seen the Corpse Witch, his servant Guladam was the Corpse Witch, and the undead army led by him had played a very key role in several major battles, but it was the first time he had seen the higher-level "Corpse Witch King".
Chen Rui knew that the corpse witch did not have a real body, and the body in front of him was just a parasite, so the analysis of the Eye of Analysis would have a hint of "clone", and Guladam had used projection in the treasure field of Pagliu to fool those treasure hunters.
The current situation is extremely precarious, and the sea of resentful souls in the sky has surrounded Chen Rui and the others, and if they fight hard, the chances of winning are very small.
"I've seen His Highness the Witch King. Chen Rui's heart was racing, and he bowed, "Your Highness's welcome ceremony is indeed impressive. ”
A shrill voice rang out: "You should add the great, supreme and unique in front of 'Your Highness'!"
It was not the Corpse Witch King who spoke, but a cyan resentful soul beside him, whose comprehensive strength assessment was A+, and he was glaring at Chen Rui viciously, as if this "guest" had said the most unforgivable words in the world.
"Prince. The Corpse Witch King's cold voice rang out, and the cyan wraith, Prince, immediately shut up. The fierce expression instantly turned into incomparable piety and humility, and the speed of the change of face made Chen Rui secretly speechless.
The Corpse Witch King slowly floated forward, looked at Chen Rui a few times, and his gaze fell on the treasure map in his hand that glowed with pale golden light, and said Sen Ran: "I like the most eyes with eyesight, and they will be the best materials for making specimens." Maybe I can consider making your skeleton a work of art that will make you feel more 'impressive', I can guarantee it. You will enjoy the whole process. ”
Chen Rui noticed the gaze of the Corpse Witch King, ignored this threat, and just quietly raised the treasure map: "We have been guided by the Dragon Emperor and have come here after all the hard work. Having passed the test of the two adults along the way, the Red Pipit and the Ratman, I think we should be entitled to the treatment of real guests. ”
"Humble fellow, don't compare the Great Highness with those two incompetents!" Prince screamed again.
Chen Rui can see that this Prince is a character who hugs his thighs for the tiger. It's like the kind of puppet army leader who gives a thumbs up to the devil in the old red movie. I also want to add a sentence with affection: "High, really high!"
"You seem to have forgotten to add 'supreme' and 'unique'. Chen Rui smiled slightly, but calmed down, the Corpse Witch King made such a big pomp, if he wanted to fight. Just send the resentful spirits to besiege it, and it will never take so much effort.
Prince was momentarily speechless. Just as he was about to attack, two blue ghostly fires flickered in the eye sockets of the Corpse Witch King: "Although it is an ant, it is an interesting ant...... Since you have the complete treasure map of the Dragon Emperor, you are also qualified to enter the Tower of Destruction, come with me. ”
With that, he turned around and slowly floated backwards. Prince hurriedly followed, and the entire ocean of resentful spirits branched out.
It turned out that the White Tower was called the Tower of Destruction. Chen Rui and the Dark Elemental King glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, they originally expected to have a fierce battle, but they didn't expect it...... Got through it so easily?
Although it was unexpected, it seemed to be the most effective result, if it really started, except for Chen Rui and the Dark Elemental King, who might have special life-saving methods, the rest of the people, including Strina and Hei Luo, would have difficulty surviving.
The two quickly exchanged glances, and Chen Rui bowed and said, "Then there is His Royal Highness the Corpse Witch King." ”
"My name is Glorios, or maybe you can call me, Lich King. The head of the corpse witch floating in front of him said a word without replying.
The Lich King?, the title startles a certain time-traveling otaku - you're sure your name is Glorios and not ...... Alsace?
Well, this is the Demon Realm, all the way to the west...... Well, let's continue walking towards the White Tower.
To Chen Rui's surprise, their speed was obviously much slower than before, but the distance of the Tower of Destruction was rapidly closing, as if this journey, which originally took dozens of days to arrive, would only take dozens of minutes to arrive.
Obviously, this is a kind of "shrinking the land into inches" of the strange force, maybe this road is only so far, but because of the Liliang of the realm country, Chen Rui and the others fell into a strange "rule" that is far from the same, if it weren't for the appearance of the Lich King, I am afraid that they will never be able to walk in front of the real White Tower.
The shape of the Tower of Destruction gradually became clear, this is a huge square spire, the whole body is snow-white, and when you look closely, there is a strange texture of blood color, the closer you go, the more you can feel the suffocating and oppressive aura, as if this obelisk is a high god, no matter what angle you need to worship and look up.
The huge obelisk has only one passage in front and is surrounded by numerous statues. Many of these statues are armed with weapons, their bodies glowing with a dull black metallic luster, and their shapes are hideous and lifelike, and the statues spread all the way to the entrance of the obelisk, like a legion of guards.
At the gates of the obelisk, one of the largest statues is stationed, which seems to be the leader.
"Black Iron Goryx?" The Dark Elemental King glanced at the statues, his brow furrowed.
Chen Rui had heard from Tetnes that the Black Iron Elephant Ghost has strong combat power, made of secret spells and special materials, which makes them have the characteristics of greatly reducing the force and magic damage they receive, not only that, but the Secret Elephant can also shield the detection of perception, and it is difficult to sense the strength of combat power.
Unlike the alchemy beings of the Lamp Spirit and the Crystal Beast, which have a certain subjective consciousness, the Secret Elephant is an emotionless war machine. It is similar to the gargoyle that Chen Rui encountered in Mount Sekoride or the golden figure made by Lola, but the power is by no means the same.
There are hundreds of thousands of Black Iron Secret Elephants guarding them, all of which are as silent as statues, but once triggered, the intruder will be hit with horror.
"Worthy of being the king of the dark elements, he recognized these toys at a glance. The Lich King Glorios apparently easily saw through the identity of the Dark Elemental King, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Dragon Emperor's treasure is inside. You can go in now. ”
Going in like this, surrounded by the Black Iron Goryns, almost everyone looked wary.
"His Royal Highness the Lich King," Chen Rui spoke, "I can understand it that way, once we enter this passage." Will it be violently attacked by the Black Iron Secret Ghosts?"
"That's what you said," Glorios let out a sinister laugh, his golden robe unwinded, "I'll tell you some interesting news." You've already met the simple-minded octopus and the scary guy with the mist, and the souls they've acquired have been channeled here for some reason. This is where the valuable souls of all the nearby seas are concentrated. They are scorched by the ghostly fire every few days, and they can't get rid of it or escape, they can only hate it in endless torment, so this place is called the Land of Hate!"
No wonder you can't see a single living creature along the way, all the creatures in the huge ocean have been turned into undead creatures! Undead ships, deep-sea bone beasts, and resentful spirits...... Chen Rui felt a shock in his heart. Strina couldn't help but clench the six scimitars in her hand.
Unconcerned, the Lich King continued, "You currently have three options, number one. Straight into the obelisk through the corridor surrounded by the Black Iron Goryves, of course, I can't guarantee what will happen. Second, stay here and be a part of the Land of Hate, like ...... They. I'm sure you'll be happy to enjoy some long-lost blood and flesh before you become like them. It's a pity that there are so few of you that you can't even plug your teeth......"
Glorios' hand pointed to the ocean of resentful souls, although the ocean of resentful souls was filled with boundless resentment and hatred, and when they were pointed by the jagged finger bones, they all showed fear and retreated, and many resentful souls showed coveted colors for Chen Rui and the others.
"Zuihou has a choice, play a game with me, if you can beat me, even if you pass the test of Zuihou, I can let you pass the tunnel safely. ”
As expected, this third level is not so easy to pass.
The Dark Elemental King pondered for a moment and was the first to speak, "Let's talk about your game first. ”
"It's simple. The Lich King's form drifted to a strange round table near the front of the passage, a large round table, with a black statue holding a scythe in the center, and various strange carvings nearby.
"Magic card game, 'Fateful Showdown'. ”
Is it the first time Chen Rui has heard of this kind of game, and it is still a magic brand?
"Fateful showdown? Hegel seemed no stranger to this, "How do you want to play?"
"Great, it seems that the Dark Elemental King is also a fan-abider," the blue light in Glorios' eye sockets flashed with brilliance, "You are a guest, there are three ways to play, Race to Win, Miracle War, and Death Game, you can choose at will, how about two wins in three battles?"
The red light in Hegel's eyes flashed, "But what I want to figure out first is, how can I guarantee the fairness of this game in your kingdom?"
Glorios seems to be quite interested in this kind of magic nameplate: "We can sign a soul contract, with your soul level, there is a contract, there should be no worry that I will cheat." ”
Hegel thought for a while, and slowly bowed his head: "Okay! Since it is two wins in three battles, then, let's play one game for each game, what if...... If you can make it to the third game. ”
"His Highness Hegel is so confident that I am now more and more interested in the next game. Glorios let out an eerie laugh, "It's just that everything has a price, and the chips in this gamble are your lives and those of all your friends." I wonder if His Royal Highness has the guts?"
"A matter of life and death?" said Hegel, with a deep smile, "If you want the life of an elemental king, then you should also pay for your life." ”
"As you wish, if I lose, not only will I let you enter the Tower of Destruction, but my life will also be yours. Glorios seemed to smile even more, but the skeletal face was terrifying to look at: "As a true fan of magic cards, I can't wait to look forward to the exciting showdown that is coming." ”
"Wait a minute, the Dark Elementals' companions will only be the Dark Elementals. Hegel stretched out his finger and pointed at Chen Rui and the others, and said proudly: "It doesn't include these guys who just use each other. ”
This sentence made Stina's face change suddenly, and she immediately snorted coldly-for-tat: "This is also what I want to say, the Naga clan will not entrust their lives to people they don't trust, I would rather choose - Agulie." ”
The rest of the Naga and the elementals also nodded, and Glorios looked at Chen Rui, who was staring at the Naga and the elementals, with an even more strange smile: "It seems that there is also an interesting game between you, maybe my fun can continue later." ”
"Wait until that moment for your life to last. Hegel snorted.
Glorios smiled, not dwell on the question, and walked with Hegel to the round table and sat down face to face: "Before signing the contract and the game begins, I remind you once that the loser will lose his life and soul. Even if you're an Elemental King, there's no immunity to defeat at this table that embodies the rules of the Land of Hate. Your soul may be able to override the rules, but your elemental heart will surely be broken, and it will take a great deal of effort and time to regenerate. ”
"In this way, even if you have the power of the kingdom, once you fail, the soul essence in the life box will disappear?"
"Of course!" a strange symbol appeared from the tip of the Lich King Glorios's fingertips, and flew towards Hegel, who concocted the same way, and the two symbols merged and exchanged in the air, and finally reached a mutually satisfactory terms, and then turned into a contract with their names, and then disappeared.
After the contract was signed, the pattern of the round table showed a large amount of mist, faintly shining with a pale golden light, the statue in the center seemed to be alive, and the body became hazy, wearing a black cloak, a black long-handled sickle in his hand, and a stack of strange cards appeared on the table.
The material of this card is very special, the delicate pattern on the back seems to be the sun and the moon, and the edge is covered with a faint gold pattern, revealing a gorgeous and mysterious atmosphere.
