Chapter 467: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow (10,000 Words Chapter Asks for Subscription)
Without using various hole cards and artifacts, as two legendary mages with a large number of spell slots and means of recovering spell slots, the duel between Zuoth and Laroch is clearly a tug-of-war.
Especially under the influence of the magical knowledge recorded in the Nexera Scroll, they can all recognize the spell that the other party is casting through the fluctuations of the magic web in an instant, and can even make predictions in advance.
If it weren't for the slight difference between the habitual memory spells and the tactics used, it would seem as if they were mirror images of each other, and even the understanding of arcane magic would be the same.
The reason is very simple!
The foundation of the Nessera magical civilization is derived from the creator race, a special organization "Betis" in the Saruch Witches, through the observation of the power of the original magic net in the world of Torrell and continuous attempts, the final summary of the objective laws compiled into the "Skin of the Cosmos Serpent", which later became known as the Nexera Scroll.
Although there are also wild histories that all this is related to a mysterious race called the "Empire of the Weavers".
Even the ancient god of death, Jaeger, was one of them and the one behind it.
The demise of the Creator race and the destruction of the Nessera civilization were closely related to it.
But for the time being, there is no substantial evidence to prove this.
After all, the history of the birth of civilization in this place of Faeron is too long, and it may not be possible to trace it back tens of thousands of years.
There are even more rumors, rumors, and contradictory records.
Even the gods that can be identified today may be fake, a deception made by monsters such as demons, devils, and eye demons.
One of the most classic is the god of cool officials - Gargos.
He was once regarded as a demigod with weak divine powers, the lord of the tenth layer of Bato's hell, who could grant the priest complete divine arts.
But after a series of conspiracies were uncovered, people were surprised to find that it was actually just a great devil who had been exiled or self-exiled, and it was most likely the conspiracy of Asmodeirs, the lord of hell.
Moreover, most of the known records of the truth and history of this world and even the universe come from the perspective of mortals.
The biggest characteristic of mortals is their own narrowness, unable to understand things that are too abstract and complex, and often bringing in a strong subjective consciousness, resulting in a great difference between the content of the record and the truth.
But no matter how many conspiracy theories and outrageous rumors there are behind the Nessreal Scroll, it can't hide that it is the most mainstream magical theory basis in the continent of Faeron today.
It can even be said that in addition to the Imasca Magic Empire in the Far East, which has been extinct for a long time and has not left many traces at all, as well as the unique magic rituals brought by the elves from the other world, the contents of this set of fifty gold scrolls are the only way for arcane spellcasters to gain power through learning.
As for the transformation from the Arcanist of the Nethril era to the current casting mode, the essence of the transformation is not that the basic theory has changed or been overturned, but that the second generation of the Goddess of Magic has closed the deep web and caused the version to iterate.
In order to adapt to the changing environment, the arcane spellcasters eventually came up with more efficient ways to use the energy of the magic web through in-depth research.
Whether it is Owo, Laloch, or Iolem, they have all transformed their original Arcanist class into the current mage class, and only retain a very small part of the Arcanist level and class characteristics.
This means that whoever reads and understands the contents of the Nexriel Scroll will be closer to the essence of the world of Torrell's web and magic.
You can see the principles behind the strange spell effects, and then find the weak points in the spell structure and destroy and counter them.
The most powerful can bounce back the spell that is being released in an instant, turning the protective spell that originally applied to the opponent into attack magic.
In this regard, the special ability [Gorgeous Destruction] in the advanced class [Rainbow Apprentice] obtained by Zuo Si is one of the best.
This ability can change the support structure of the target's protective magic by pulling the energy of the magic net with a simple spell casting action, changing its characteristics from protection to attack.
Each time the protective magic is dispelled, the energy that remains there is converted into an iridescent wall effect, causing massive damage to the target.
The more protective magic the opponent has, and the more times it is dispelled, the more damage it will deal.
From the red flame attribute to the orange strong acid attribute, to the yellow lightning attribute, the green poison, the blue petrification, the indigo chaos, the purple spell cracking effect and the random cross-dimensional teleportation, the seven distinct colors vividly show the troublesome and varied nature of the rainbow series of color spells.
Moreover, [Rainbow Apprentice] can instantly create different colors of retaining walls.
On the one hand, prevent enemies or their summons from approaching;
On the other hand, it can also withstand the attacks of several types of spells.
Rather than being fixed as many people think, the wall can become a wall that grows taller and longer as the level of the Prismatic Apprentice increases, or a sphere that wraps the caster around itself or the creatures around it.
It can be said that it has achieved a real integration of offense and defense.
The Arcane King's [Recall Spell] ability instantly restores any used spell slot and memory of arcane magic.
Note that it is "any"!
This means that even sixteenth and seventeenth ring spell slots beyond the Nine Rings can be restored with a standard cast animation, and unleashed to surprise enemies when needed.
At this moment, as the spell duel between Zuosi and Laloch entered the white heat, the area around the two of them had become a gorgeous scenery intertwined with arcane aura and iridescent colors.
Sometimes it even flashes so much that people can't open their eyes, resulting in an inexplicable feeling of dizziness.
According to the modern view, this is properly light pollution.
In particular, the iridescent parapets that appear and disappear in an instant are far more exaggerated and bright than the neon lights on the streets at night in any modern metropolis, and there is no limit to the number of times they can be used.
As long as one of the protective walls is destroyed, then Zuo Si can immediately release another one that constantly fights with the opponent.
So far, neither he nor Laloch have used magic storage items, at most they have only used some means such as wishing magic to restore the consumption of spell slots, and more of a competition is their own cognition, understanding, use and combat experience of arcane magic.
It's not so much a spell duel as a process of getting to know each other deeply.
Because language and attitude can be disguised, but a person's spell-casting habits, memorized spell types, and tactics used can never deceive people.
It's like Zuo Si is eager to understand what is going on in the mind of the wizard king of the Nethrel era, why he must be so obsessed with resurrecting the original goddess of magic, Mithriel.
Laloch was also interested in figuring out what Zosi, a young man who was a traveling mage and a third-generation Magician Midnight Elector, planned to do in the world of Torreel, and what was the real intention behind the series of actions.
In contrast, Ilminster's purpose is very simple and straightforward, which is to force Sazastan to hand over the eye of the storm in his hand and crush his ambition to become a god.
With the founder of the Dragon Cult, Samast, and his dragon lich blown into ashes by the [Sun Flame Burst], the Great Sage of the Shadow Valley obviously did not intend to wait any longer, but chose to do it straightforwardly.
Because in his opinion, both himself and Hembo can firmly suppress Sazastan and Irenikas in a one-on-one battle, and even quickly eliminate each other after paying a certain price.
As for the Lich Apprentices brought by Lalock, the other Electors and the higher-ups of the Harpist Alliance could have held off first, and then joined forces to defeat and kill them when their own side succeeded.
It can't be helped, most arcane spellcasters pale in the face of silver fire and a host of Magical Goddess electors with a host of immunity.
The supernatural vision with its own detection magic alone can determine the approximate effect of an item or spell from the arcane aura emitted by it.
Not to mention the disgusting method of putting an anti-magic force field on one's face, and then directly using silver fire to reduce the dimensionality.
On top of that, Sandra Heater, the Queen of Cursed Fire, is also a force to be reckoned with, and when dealing with pure spellcasters, she can usually exert a destructive power far beyond everyone's imagination.
"Sazastan! Hand over that eye! I don't want to say it a second time! ”
After using the power of silver fire to shatter one of the hands of the red-robed necromancer, Ilminster puffed out a puff of white smoke from his mouth with his beloved pipe, keeping some of the smallest unidentified creatures out.
There is no doubt that this seemingly inconspicuous gadget is actually a very powerful magical item.
The added value of its ultra-high enchantment level even reaches more than 400,000 gold coins.
Not only can this pipe be lit or extinguished with a single command, but it also keeps the ultra-small enemies from approaching it and deflects all missile spells back.
In addition, this pipe can also produce effects such as Ignition, Fireworks, Summoning, Arbitrary Gate, Silent Phantom, Protective Arrow, and Underwater Breathing.
Anyone who knows anything about Ilminster will never ignore the advantages that this pipe can bring in battle.
"You're dreaming! Unless I'm dead, no one will try to take the eye of the storm from my hands. ”
Sazastan had a gloomy expression on his face, and instantly released a cloud of negative energy to repair his comminuted and fractured left hand.
There was no doubt about it, though he had done a lot of preparation before that against the Goddess of Magic Elect, especially Ilminster and Simb.
But when I really fought, I realized how terrible these guys' oppression of ordinary spellcasters really was.
Ilminster, in particular, is immune to [Eternal Stasis] and other attacks that may inflict the same effect.
The effect of this spell is very similar to that of the Nine Rings' [Time Stop], but the effect is achieved by touch, and the duration is permanent.
It can only be eliminated by removing the [Freedom Technique] that removes the effect of [Imprisonment], as well as Wishing Technique and Miracle Technique.
This also means that time cannot be stopped in front of this white-haired old man, otherwise there will be a situation where he will be chased and slashed by him with a sword.
"Oh, what a stubborn one. Haven't you realized that you were being tricked from the beginning in this matter? ”
Ilminster sighed slightly.
Sazastan retorted with a sneer: "So what? At least this eye is not fake, and the opportunity to make a mortal a god is also real. ”
"So you're planning to die for money and birds for food?"
Ilminster's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Don't think that this friendly, kind old man is a soft-hearted man.
Quite the opposite!
In the course of a thousand years, there were not a thousand but eight hundred enemies who died directly at his hands, and the number of monsters and cannon fodder that could not be named was even greater.
It's just that with the increase of age, especially the aging of his mental age, he has become like many old people who are extremely conservative and love to immerse themselves in past memories.
Rather than doing it herself, Ilminster is now more willing to use the method of issuing missions, encouraging young adventurers to complete tasks to stop the expansion of evil forces in their place.
But when he got serious, he was still one of the most powerful mages in the world.
Among them, the experience of sealing part of the divine power of the fallen second generation of magic goddesses in her body in the turbulent years has already surpassed the limit of the ordinary spell casting level, and can mobilize and use the core and essence of the magic web to attack the enemy and protect herself.
In the entire Faeron Continent, although there are quite a few legendary mages, there are very few who can exceed the limit of their own casting level.
And this is precisely the sign of being the top powerhouse.
Laloch did this, Iolem did it, Ilminster's teacher, Serinsey, and Karthus, the culprit who created heavy magic and led to Nessreel's demise, barely did it.
Finally, with the addition of Ilminster himself, there are only five known today.
Along with Owo, who is the Grand Arcanist, Tairamant Tanshur, the Lord of the Shadow City, and Shane VII, the Necromantic Emperor, these legendary mages who are very amazing in terms of age and casting level have not yet entered this echelon.
Of course, there are also people who are suspected of reaching this realm, but because they are either dead or disappeared thousands of years ago.
For example, the Zaruk Witch Lich, the Earth Prophet Asindor, who played a crucial role in the rise and destruction of the Nethrel civilization, and the King of the Wizards who led the Imaska Empire against foreign gods and eventually turned the originally fertile land into a desert of oblivion.
Once you get in touch with the core of magical power, it means that you can get rid of the shackles of rules and spell bits, and exert a power that is far several times or even dozens of times higher than your own spell level.
As for Ragon, Sazastan, and Samast, they are still far behind.
They are not even as good as Irenikas, who has already begun to absorb divine power and divinity, and intends to become a god with his own strength.
At least he knows a lot about the rituals and the parts of the magic system that are unique to the elves, and he also has a unique understanding of divine power and divinity, and can transform it into his own power.
"Say whatever you want. If you have the ability, kill me! ”
Sazastan put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and suddenly waved his hand to release an instantaneous energy absorption technique with the Super Nine Ring Spell Bit.
But unfortunately, this blow was directly absorbed by the silver fire, and it did not cause any impact at all.
Or rather, most of the offensive spells he unleashed ended up like this.
On the contrary, Ilminster's silver fire attack, because there is no targeted spell and energy protection at all, can only rely on the lich's undead constitution to eat, and then recover through negative energy magic.
As for legendary spells......
I'm sorry, not to mention that Ilminster himself has a very good skill in controlling counterspells, but that long preparation time alone is enough to make Sazastan be blasted to pieces by the silver fire for several times.
If it weren't for Lalocle's presence, he would have wanted to activate the teleportation magic and run away.
"That's what you said."
As the last word blurted out, Ilminster instantly activated the silver fire in his body, spreading to all sides at a speed that could not be described in words.
When a Laloch Lich apprentice accidentally became contaminated, the entire body skeleton quickly shattered and disintegrated at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and no matter what kind of spell was used to dispel it, it was useless.
In less than three or five seconds, he had turned into a pile of black broken bones.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the terrifying power of Silver Fire's unreasonable nature, and it is also a proof of the powerful divine power of the goddess of magic.
The more it relied on magical power, the more restrained it became.
After all, the goddess of magic is the magic net itself, and a group of arcane spellcasters who rely on the magic net to eat still want to turn the sky upside down?
Dream on!
Realizing that Ilminster had made up his mind to kill him, Sazastan was also ruthless, pulling out the eye of the storm and starting to break the seal on it.
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear and calm blue sky became dark, and a dark cloud that had no idea how thick it was completed at an unimaginable speed, enveloping a radius of dozens of kilometers.
Bang!!!!!!!
With a deafening loud sound, thick and dazzling electric light began to brew in the clouds, and the moment of despair and suffocation caused the others who were still fighting to stop.
Especially in the dark clouds, a pair of eyes full of devastating desires can be faintly seen, and it seems to be looming.
No doubt it was the gaze of Talos, the god of storms.
Although he neither descended into the incarnation nor chose to intervene, he only cast a sight in his own realm, but it still caused unimaginable psychological pressure on all mortals.
Because the power of the gods is absolute and overwhelming.
As long as Talos wants to, he can rain down a few bolts of lightning or a storm of power, and in a matter of minutes, he can kill everyone except Zoth, Larocle, Ilminster, Simb, and Irenikas to smithereens.
"Do you want to ruin Searle?"
Looking at the dark clouds and storms gathering overhead, as well as the terrifying eyes that were releasing the aura of destruction, Ilminster couldn't help but get nervous.
Although he didn't believe that Sazastan would be crazy enough to destroy the country he ruled, he didn't dare to gamble at all.
In particular, the destructive power of the eye of the storm is not at all comparable to any known legendary magic or super nine-ring spell.
"Of course I don't want to destroy Serge!
But the problem is that you've been pushing me!
If I can't get this eye, then no one can get it.
Now I order you to step back!
Otherwise, the storm of destruction will consume everyone! ”
Sazastan's tone was unabashedly ruthless and mad.
As a guy who can make up his mind to join Bane, the god of tyranny, at a critical moment, and frantically transform the dead into rare animals in the brutal civil war.
Although he usually gives people a sense of sanity and elegance, he has never lacked the courage to gamble all his life in his bones.
What you can't get yourself would rather be destroyed than let the enemy get it!
This is Sazastan's life credo, and it is also the code of conduct that he has always followed.
There is no doubt that Ilminster does not dare to attack at all now.
Because if the silver fire touched the eye in Sazastan's hand, he would be the executioner who slaughtered millions of civilians in Serre.
On the other side, Zuo Si, who was engaged in a spell duel with Laloch, obviously noticed this situation, and immediately pursed the corners of his mouth and commented with a smile: "It is really worthy of being a representative of evil neutrality, and he actually broke the seal without hesitation, and used the lives of the people of his country as a bargaining chip. ”
"Extreme selfishness is one of Sazastan's many virtues.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand out among the many geniuses of the red-robed mage to get to this point.
You must know that among the many mages who broke into the Tomb of the Warlock, Sazastan was not the most talented, nor was he the highest-level spellcaster.
But he was the only one who came to me through many crises and pitfalls.
In particular, the fact that I did not hesitate to sacrifice my companions, even my best friends, in a few key choices is still impressive to this day.
Because it is also a manifestation of calmness, sanity and intelligence, I chose to cooperate with him. ”
As he said this, Laroch stopped casting his spell and watched with interest at the Necromantic Leader holding the eye of the storm, not at all nervous from the terrifying storm above his head and the gaze from Talos.
"You want Sazastan to become a new god related to the field of magic?" Zuo Si said tentatively in a tone that was not very certain.
Laloch chuckled and asked, "Hehe, why not?"
Don't you think that the goddess of magic today is too decent, or rather inclined to be kind and orderly?
As the embodiment and steward of the web, the goddess of magic should be neutral, chaotic, and full of contradictions.
If a new god who is inclined to evil, especially necromantic magic, appears, then she will inevitably be affected or even actively tilted in the direction of evil, and even awaken the memory of the original goddess of magic hidden in the depths of the magic web.
You haven't lived through the age of Nessreel;
I have never felt the unrestrained feeling of freedom before the deep web was closed;
I have never seen the one who is both profound and frivolous, steady and wild, whose thoughts and emotions are changing all the time, whose speech and demeanor are full of innocence and purity without a trace of pollution, and whose body exudes colorful light.
That's what the true embodiment of the web should be, the great mother of magic who encompasses all camps, good and evil, and the dream lover of all arcane spellcasters.
If I'm not mistaken, your series of actions on the West Coast are ultimately aimed at building a unified and powerful nation, and then building a new, magic-based civilization based on it, right?
Then you shouldn't even get involved with a guy like Ilminster.
Because although he is powerful with the blessing of silver fire, he lacks the most basic belief of a good mage, which is the endless thirst for knowledge and power.
For thousands of years, he wasted far more time meddling than studying and studying magical powers. ”
When it comes to the original goddess of magic, Mithrael, the most powerful spellcaster of the Nessera has a tone of reverence and adoration, as well as a hint of subtle affection.
Both the gentle tone and the words used to describe it seem to describe his lover, not a goddess who is the second most powerful goddess in the kingdom after the god Io.
"To tell you the truth, I don't really like Ilminster either, and I'm now in hostile relations with him and the Harpists League he founded."
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be casual and shrugged his shoulders.
If he could, he really hoped that Laloch, who was only left with a skeleton of bones, could grow a body of flesh, at least let himself see the expression and demeanor on the other party's face at the moment.
It is clear that Laloc has a special affection for the original Magic Goddess Mithrel.
But whether this affection stems from his nostalgia for the unrestricted web of the Nets of the Nexera era, or the recognition of the goddess herself and her teachings, or whether what really happened between the two, is unknown.
It is estimated that in addition to the parties involved, only Iolem, who was the same era as Lalocle, knew about it.
"Then why are you helping Ilminster?
Is it simply because of who the voter is and the benefits it can bring?
Believe me, the Silver Fire is powerful enough to keep countless arcane spellcasters helpless, but it's not like there's no power in this world that can stand up to it.
If you're willing to work with me, I can give you much more than that. ”
The two cold lights in the eyes of the Wizard King instantly skyrocketed.
"The reason to help Ilminster is to live up to your responsibilities as a voter.
The current Goddess of Magic has helped me a lot when I'm still very weak, so I feel obligated to give back when I'm stronger.
What's more, she is also a member of the powerful gods, and maintaining a close alliance with her can give her a strong backing in case of conflict with other gods.
If your goal is to kill or replace the current goddess of magic, I'm sorry, but I'm your enemy.
But if you're going to bring about Mithreel's rebirth through inducement and subtle influence, then I'm not going to be nosy. ”
Zuo Si made his position very clear.
As a traveling mage, no matter whether it was Midnight or Mithriel who was in charge of Toriel's net, it wouldn't affect him too much.
Because with the ability to bring back a great deal of magical knowledge from other planes, the Goddess of Magic is bound to be an ally rather than an enemy.
It's just that in terms of personal feelings, Zuo Si is still more inclined to Midnight than the Mithriel who has never been in contact with.
After all, the former has become familiar with each other after such a long period of contact, and if you suddenly change one, you need to re-adapt.
On top of that, killing and replacing the existing Goddess of Magic will cause the web to collapse and produce unimaginable catastrophes.
But it's another story to resurrect Mithriel in Midnight's body, to have the original Goddess of Magic inherit all the memories, cognitions, and emotions of three generations, or to separate from the latter's divine spark and reincarnate into a new god.
This very special situation has only happened once between Loshanda, the future Lord of the Dawn, and Amanata, the ancient sun god.
"Well, I think I get what you mean.
Now, you better deal with Sazastan and the eye of the storm in his hand.
Otherwise, if the divine power inside is really fully released, the entire Searle will be destroyed in endless storms and natural disasters.
The destruction of another magical realm is not what I want to see.
As for this spell duel, even if you win. ”
With that, Lalock took advantage of the situation and made a move to admit defeat.
Because in his opinion, the meaning of this spell duel is actually to learn spell-casting skills according to tradition, and it does not have much effect on real combat at all, and neither side uses hole cards.
Compared to this kind of spell-casting ability within the rules, the Wizard King is more interested in the power outside the rules.
For example, in an instant, he released sixteen [Yang Yan Explosion] with the blessing of countless super demons, and then he released sixteen [Yang Yan Explosion] with the blessing of countless super demons, and then there was the Chaos Dog Demon Kozf who had never moved from beginning to end, and the Silver Fire and Divine Power Impact Scepter that had never been used at all.
This is the power that can make the final decision in the battle of the top casters,
As for a mere sparring spell duel, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.
After all, Laloch is long past the competitive age.
Next Second......
The [War Chain], which had closely connected the two together, made a crisp sound and instantly returned to Zuo Si's hand.
Just as the latter was about to put away the artifact and deal with the eye of the storm, a figure shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared behind Sazastan out of thin air.
The comer didn't give him any chance to react at all, and he started with the instantaneous Nine Rings [Time Stop], and then reached out to capture the eye of the storm.
But this guy apparently ignored the immunity of the electorate who had the goddess of magic present.
"Don't think!"
Ilminster rushed forward with a decisive lunge, brandishing the sword in his hand to force the unknown creature back.
It's a pity that the other party didn't pay attention to the Thundering Sword with enchantment level +5 at all, and let it insert into his body, holding the eye of the storm in his hand, and directly activating the teleportation magic and disappearing without a trace.
The whole process lasted less than half a second, and the thing that had driven countless mortals crazy changed hands.
Looking at the empty scene in front of him, and the long sword that was so clean that it was not stained with a drop of blood, Ilminster seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
After the time-stopping effect was over, Sazastan came back to his senses, looked at his already empty palm, and roared like crazy: "What about my eye of the storm? Who! Who stole it! ”
But unfortunately, no one answered this question.
Just when Ilminster opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly found that Zuo Si, who was still standing with Laloch just now, had disappeared at some point.
Without the Vision, the black clouds and storm of destruction that surrounded him soon dissipated, revealing a clear sky once again.
It's just that most people don't have the heart to pay attention to such trivial things.
……
At the same time, far away in the easternmost part of the Feron continent, Kindrank, Vishalon was raising the Eye of the Storm in his hand and letting out a piercing laugh.
"Hahahaha! Dear Sazastan, Ilminster, and Hembo, I am afraid that you did not expect that I was the one who finally won the qualification for the gods. ”
Obviously, since the last time he failed to compete for the Vision and was defeated by the Queen of the Storm and reborn, this guy has been hiding in the shadows and silently observing, making everyone think that he has withdrawn from the competition.
When Sazastan broke the seal and focused all his attention on Ilminster, Vishalon made a decisive attack and obtained the treasure he had always dreamed of in an instant.
As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind.
He knows very well that one or two defeats are nothing, and the one who can have the last laugh is the real winner.
There is nothing in the world that makes people feel more excited, excited, and joyful than gaining and recovering what is lost.
Although it was difficult for the undead lich itself to develop too strong feelings, Visharen still seemed to be dancing a little at the moment, and even paid no attention to the hole that had been poked out of his body.
This is also the reason why there is no blood stained on the Thundering Sword.
Ilminster was not stabbing a living person at all, but a lich who had no blood in his body at all and was driven entirely by negative energy.
"Congratulations, great hosts! You'll be promoted to God in no time! ”
One of the followers prostrate on the ground and cheered loudly.
Not only him, but the lucky ones who had not died in the previous scuffle were now all on their knees and trembling with excitement.
Because soon, they will witness the birth of a new god.
And this god will also be their faith and master, giving them knowledge and power.
"Get up! Hurry up and get ready for the ceremony! When I succeed in becoming a god, I will never forget your credits! ”
It may be a very good relationship, and it is very rare for the always mean and ruthless Visharon to put on a posture of rewarding all his men.
Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately wrote empty promises in order to fool these guys into working hard and dedicating his last strength to himself.
"As you wish, Supreme Master, your will is our mission."
Amid deafening cheers and fleshy sycophants, the remaining thirty or so followers soon flocked to the secret stronghold outside the city, setting up a circle in the cavern where the patio had been dug out.
Vischelon is personally responsible for supervising and inspecting the entire process to ensure that there is no negligence in the slightest.
Otherwise, God knows what kind of accidents will happen during the promotion process.
But what he didn't notice was that in the darkness there was a pair of eyes watching it all closely, remembering all the symbols and lines on the ground that contained amazing power.
"Interesting! Is this the method of sealing the gods that the god of storms deliberately left behind a long time ago?
How come I've never seen these runes before?
Could it be that Talos created it himself?
Or is it something that specifically reacts to divine powers? ”
Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered to himself, while constantly reading the thoughts and memories of these followers through mind spells, trying to find the answer.
But unfortunately, it was impossible for Ishhlon to share such important knowledge with his subordinates.
He is a lich himself, completely immune to all spells of charm and mind control.
Therefore, if Zuo Si wants to understand the function of these runes, he must let the god sealing ceremony begin.
It was for this reason that he did not immediately reclaim the Eye of the Storm from Visharon, but intended to see what the other side was going to do.
Anyway, with the divine power and divinity contained in the eye of the storm, even if the other party succeeds in becoming a god, he is only a demigod with weak divine power, and it is not certain whether he can get the godhood immediately.
Zuo Si doesn't need to do it himself, as long as he closes the door and lets Kozv go, he can bite the other party and can't find the north.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the dog that had been following him and maintaining the appearance of a border herder.
The latter, like a real dog, flattered the back of his master's hand.
Obviously, the reason why Zuo Si was able to accurately track down Vishlen, who used a lot of shielding tracking and detection magic, was due to Kozv's ability to lock on to specific souls.
Rather, it can smell the lingering emotional breath in the soul, even if it is hundreds or even thousands of years old.
And the more intense the target's mood swings, the clearer and easier it is to track.
Unfortunately, the indescribable ecstasy, excitement, and excitement of Vishalen after taking the eye of the storm shines as brightly as a light in the darkness in Kozf's olfactory tracking.
It comes to the door with no effort, following the emotional resonance.
And that's not all!
The guy also found Vishlon's lifebox in another house in Kindrank.
But considering that it is very likely that this thing will be used in the god sealing ceremony, Zuo Si did not move for the time being.
After all, what is sealed in the lifebox is the essence of the lich's life, that is, the soul.
If you want to transform mortals into gods, the most important thing is to sublimate the soul into divinity and eventually ignite the spark.
Zuo Si's guess turned out to be correct.
After all the preparations were done, Visharen personally took his life box and stood in the center of the huge circle.
At this moment, the heavy rock above the cave has long been chiseled open by magic, and you can directly see the starry sky outside at night.
I saw that he calmed his restless heart a little, and then plunged the lifebox directly into the eye of the storm.
Next Second......
Click-click-click-
The surface of the originally exquisite life box immediately appeared densely packed with cracks like spider webs.
If it had been another lich, it would have been a big shock by now.
Because the rupture of the lifebox means that death is coming.
But instead of showing any nervousness, Visharen was desperate to let the destructive power in the eye of the storm shatter the lifebox.
The moment the life box was completely shattered, a stream of white energy instantly poured into his body, mixed with manic divine power gushing out from his eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
The runes drawn before on the ground also lit up one after another, so that the souls that had lost the protection of the life box did not dissipate under such a terrifying impact.
