Chapter 118: The Mummy Lord (Fifth Update)
The sound of footsteps while running was undoubtedly quite harsh for the silent environment of the tomb.
So the mummy lord discovered the traces of Zuo Si and his party almost instantly.
Immediately activate your "Lord of the Dead" ability, directly control the nearest Ancient Mummy, and chase it in the direction of the sound.
He followed closely behind, trying to force out all the hidden intruders with the magic orb levitating above his head.
However, since the mummy itself is an undead creature with a relatively slow moving speed, Zuo Si still barely managed to pull away a distance with his speed advantage.
When a few people ran to the corner of the wall in one go, Zuo Si immediately commanded Alena without hesitation: "It's now!" Don't hold back! Unleash all your flames! ”
"As you wish!"
Alena raised her [Fireball Wand] and aimed at the mummy lord who was getting closer, and without hesitation, she shot a deadly fireball.
Rumble!!!!!
With a violent explosion and a bright fire, the three ancient mummies were set on fire.
The lord at the center of the explosion turned into a burning man.
At this moment, the bandages on their bodies, which were infected by necromantic magic and could defend against physical attacks to a certain extent, had completely turned into deadly combustibles.
But even so, not a single mummy fell.
Because these guys aren't low-level undead creatures like zombies, skeletons, or ghouls!
The astonishing negative energy in his body is enough to eat three or four fireballs head-on and still be alive.
The mummy lord with wisdom activated the [Sanctuary Technique] at the first time, completely isolating himself from all magical and physical attacks.
And that's not all!
It followed with the gestures and spells that were completed with great speed, and when the [Sanctuary Technique] disappeared, it directly aimed at Alena, who was also preparing spells.
Moment!
The latter was as if he was paralyzed, stupidly standing still and unable to move.
The Second Ring Divine Technique [Human Immobilization]!
Fortunately!
At the moment when Alena was immobilized!
Zuo Si also completed his spell, aiming at the mummy lord and the two closest members of his kind, shooting a cloud of hazy light.
Two unsane mummies were immobilized on the spot.
And the former, after struggling for a moment, had to stand motionless under the influence of the spell.
Obviously, this is a version of the immobilization spell that is specifically aimed at the undead - the three-ring magic [Necromancy].
However, after the spell took effect, Zuo Si did not show any relaxation, and immediately took out a card and activated the spell inside without hesitation.
Next Second......
Rumble!!!!!
A three-and-a-half-meter-tall stone elemental giant made of hard granite appeared out of thin air and swung its fist into the air to knock a mummy that rushed up like a cannonball.
The terrifying brute force and near-invulnerability of the body is an absolute nightmare for all melee fighters and monsters.
Moreover, the elemental creatures were completely immune to the "rotting curse and disease" emanating from the mummy's body, and it was easy to establish an impenetrable line of defense. …
Especially the terrifying weight of more than twenty tons, and the terrifying kinetic energy and impact generated by each punch are by no means something that a mere one or two mummies can withstand.
Even if these powerful undead creatures themselves have close to twenty strength attributes.
The soldiers, orcs Ritter, and paladin Aroline fanned out in a fan, cooperating with each other to fight the undead who came around from the side.
Due to the big noise in the fireball technique just now, many skeletons hidden in the dark corners also woke up from their long sleep and joined the ranks of the besieging invaders.
All of a sudden, hundreds of undead appeared in the entire tomb.
So much so that everyone couldn't rush out and kill the most dangerous lord first.
"Give! Then! Apply these Blazing Glue to your weapons! ”
Realizing that this battle might not end as quickly as before, Zuo Si quickly took out a few bottles of alchemy items he had made from his satchel and threw them to the three melee members of the team.
As soon as the latter got it, he did not hesitate to open the seal and pour those viscous liquids evenly on the surface of the weapon.
The moment [Blazing Glue] comes into contact with the air!
The surfaces of all three weapons immediately burst into flames of hot and bright red.
Slashing at those mummies at this time will be a good way to ignite the sackcloth bandages wrapped around their bodies, dealing additional fire damage.
Zuo Si himself was not idle, took out several alchemy bombs filled with holy water from his satchel, and threw them wherever he saw the highest concentration of undead creatures.
Accompanied by a violent explosion!
The holy water, which was full of positive energy, immediately rained down on the heads of the undead creatures.
After the relatively weak small skeleton was basically drenched a little, the cold light in the eye socket quickly disappeared without a trace, and fell straight to the ground into a pile of dry bones.
Just as Zuo Si was constantly harvesting these low-level undead creatures with no sanity, he suddenly heard the sound of chanting spells sounding again.
Turn around and take a look!
He found that the mummy lord who had just eaten a [Necromantic Fixation Technique] had regained his mobility at some point.
The evil, filthy, and hateful light in the other's eyes seemed to tear all the intruders, along with their bodies and souls, to shreds.
Just as Zuo Si was about to try to use the [Magic Missile] to interrupt the opponent's concentration on spellcasting, he suddenly found that he couldn't make any sound.
It's not just him!
The other people around it, even the weapons that slashed at the skeleton during the battle, did not make the slightest sound.
It's as if someone suddenly pressed the mute button!
The Second Ring Divine Technique [Silence Technique]!
Zuo Si realized what was going on almost instantly.
Because many magic casters will use this trick against arcane spellcasters.
Especially for those mages and warlocks who have not learned the skills of supermagic - magic silence and instantaneous spells, once they are silenced, they will fall into an absolute disadvantage.
Unless you have enough magic items on your body that can be activated without spells, you are very likely to be killed quickly during this period of silence.
"Intruder! You will pay for your greed and recklessness! A more terrible price than death! ”…
As he spoke, the mummy lord raised his palm, which had been scorched by the previous fireball technique, and violently released a yellow sandstorm.
The grit, blown up by the strong currents, took on a cone-shaped shape like a dragon's breath, and exuded a heat high enough to burn a person to death.
Shrouded in melee groups including stone elementals at once.
Tiny pieces of grit made their way through the cracks into the armor without much effort, and some burned their exposed faces and necks.
The soldier, the orc Ritter, and the paladin Aroline immediately fell to their knees in pain.
Some opened their mouths wide as if they were screaming in pain;
Some desperately tried to get the hot sand out of their armor;
Others covered their bleeding eyes, and their whole bodies trembled violently from the pain that exceeded the limit of their patience.
No doubt!
If it weren't for the influence of the [Silence Technique], their screams and wails would have resounded throughout the bottom of the tombs.
Among them, Aroline was the most seriously injured, and her two bloody and tearful eyes were basically no different from being blind.
But soon, a light full of holiness emanated from within her.
Several undead creatures who wanted to pounce on them and kill them were purified by this force on the spot.
Immediately after, the young paladin raised his hand wrapped in positive energy and gently wiped it on his eyes.
The eye, which was closed and bleeding one second, opened and returned to normal the next.
Obviously, just now, Aroline's class level has risen from LV1 to LV2, and she has obtained two new abilities, [Divine Grace] and [Holy Healing].
