"The most troublesome thing about the Shadow of the Dead is their physical attributes, which are neither undead nor living, but something in between. The Dead Hallowed explained the current situation to Siegel along the way. "They would not have died, but because of the intervention of our world, they ushered in the fate of destruction. But the Wall of Storms should have devoured their world, leaving them in ashes, but not the fullest. The combination of multiple accidents and things that shouldn't have happened has become a shadow of the death of this world. ”

"Isn't it possible for the Void Nagnus to collect the Shadow of the Dead as an energy source, haven't you tried that method?" Siegel asked, following the Grim Reaper, thinking.

"We tried, but it was very weak. The Grim Reaper pouted and said, "Collecting power from the world that is about to be destroyed is actually taking advantage of this contradiction in the rules. But it was just a damn death, and the power of fate wasn't that strong. The Shadow of the Dead in this world is subject to two rule conflicts, and you can weaken them constantly, but it is very difficult to eliminate them. I've tried, and even if I force them into a storm of destruction, I can only paralyze them, and after a while they will be alive again. ”

"That's why you've built such a complex magic circle to trap them here?"

"You see it all?" replied the Reaper Alive, and then he felt that he was asking too stupidly. Beside him is the god of magic, who should be very sensitive to the existence of the magic circle. They did use magic combined with divine power to create an invisible magic circle to trick the Shadow of the Dead into thinking they were in a vast and unrestricted world, but in fact they were constantly circling in circles. In order to prevent the destruction of this magic circle - ordinary people can't pass through the wilderness with a razor-bladed storm, but that doesn't mean that some powerful creatures can't get through it - this magic circle is invisible, and even magic fluctuations are covered.

Siegel only discovered the existence of the circle after getting closer, and when he concentrated on observing, he could see the complex system of the circle and countless active runes. It's a rather complex illusion circle, mixed with dwarven rune-based creation abilities. If the most difficult lie to be detected is nine truths and one falsehood, or eight truths and two falsehoods, the creation circle is to provide a credible natural environment.

It's easy to fake sight and sound, but it's hard to disguise touch all the time. When making different movements, the breeze should glide across the skin from different angles and at different speeds, which is difficult to imitate with simple illusion. Although not many people pay attention to the feeling of wind on the skin, it can still leave a signal in the person's consciousness that "something doesn't feel right" over time.

The Dwarven Rune Circle is responsible for creating actual objects and then complementing the illusionary environment. This idea is also very helpful for prolonging the stability of the illusion. Siegel followed the Dead Hallowed and made his way through the safe passage of the magic circle, making many detours back and forth before finally entering the core area.

It's a hellish sight to behold. The illusion shows a human city, and the Shadow of the Shadows is attacking. Just like in Makabuda, they use their possession abilities to kill each other's defenders without manipulating them, and no one knows whether the warriors around them are friend or foe. Swords and crossbows reap lives, flames and collapses spread chaos and destruction, and entire cities die – but never clean.

Every now and then, the Priest's dispel power will appear in the illusion to repel the attacks of the Shadow of the Dead. The divine power left behind by the Lord of Dawn is still very helpful in this kind of battle, and it is by far the best means of restraining the Shadow of the Dead. Each time the dispel appears, it means that the illusion enters a new cycle, which is slightly different from the last time, but essentially the same.

"You've been deceiving all the time, ready to hold on until you're old?"

"It wasn't like that at first. The Shadow of the Dead only stays near the Wall of Storms, predominantly gray, hovering, hovering, and harmless. Later, it was the mages of your union who built the red magic tower and lured the Shadow of the Dead to the south, to the world of the living. You feel like you've killed the Dead Shadows with the Priest's dispel and elemental powers, but you're only sending them back to the Storm Wall. But this time, after they recovered, they became mainly red because they tasted the flesh and blood of a large number of living people. They recall the pain of the destruction of their world and are determined to take revenge. ”

"If it weren't for the intervention of the gods, the New World would have been a dead place long ago. You know, even the Dragon Legion has tried to stop the Shadow of the Dead, but it ended in failure, and it is still **** wounded in the cave. The Dead Holy One shook off the whip, and the holy power formed a circle of light that continued to spread outward in the air with the whip, forcing back all the Shadow of the Dead that tried to get closer.

"The faith and power of believers are important, but the power that consumes them is also very great. Human beings, in particular, like to change the most, and they like to cause trouble the most. If humans had racial gods, they would have been tortured to death by humans long ago. Just to clean up the troubles caused by the human race, he won't have any divine power left!"

"Originally, a magic wall could have kept the Shadow of the Dead inside, but it only needed to be reinforced from time to time. But ever since the Red Magic Tower opened its guidance, the Shadow of the Dead inside knew that it was in Illusion Town, and began to try to break through. So there must be people here to keep maintaining the circle, otherwise this place would have been destroyed a long time ago. ”

Siegel glanced at the Dead Hallowed One, trying to read the emotion from the expression on her face. But the little girl is still unwavering, and her face rarely fluctuates, let alone the expression of her eyebrows.

"How if you lure these shadows of the dead to other planes, such as Heavenly Mountain or the Bottomless Abyss?"

"We tried, and it didn't work. The little girl brandished her whip and pushed the approaching red soul away. "They don't find peace in the Outlands, and even if they are devoured or killed there, they will reappear here. Of all the attempts so far, the best effect is to turn the Shadow of the Dead into a shell-like state, non-threatening. But they are always able to recover, again and again. ”

Siegel shook his head, flicked his fingers, and built a defense against the wall of force, and after a moment's collision, the Shadow of the Dead found it too difficult to break through, and went after an easier target. The vicinity where the two of them stood was temporarily cleared, and Siegel asked, "Even divine power will be depleted, where did the Shadow of the Dead get this level of recovery power?"

"From the rules of the world. The Dead Hallowed pointed to the Wall of Storms not far away, "At the moment, we believe that the way to completely destroy these monsters is to keep the Wall of Storms moving forward and destroy this world. In this way, all the contradictions in the rules will have a reasonable end, the world will be calmed down, and the shadow of the dead will truly pass away. ”

"That can't be!" Siegel refused, "The world can't be destroyed." ”

"Why?" Death's voice finally had an emotion, but it was the coldness that Siegel disliked the most. "It's just one world, unique, beautiful, but not unique. In the multiverse, there are almost infinite worlds, and what is this one? You are just a new god who has not yet expanded your horizons. ”

"In short, I disagree. Siegel shook his head: "This is not the solution to the problem!"

"Creation is as important as destruction. Without the destruction and end of the original state, what do you create with it?" Death looked at Siegel and said to him earnestly, "The Wall of Storms can be delayed at best, but it cannot be eliminated in any way. You can't finish the Wall of Storms, because it's the end itself. What is the need to fight a battle that is bound to fail? It is better to withdraw as soon as possible to avoid greater losses in order to plan for the future. ”

"Wise, but I think I can try again. Pointing to the Shadow of the Dead, Siegel said to the Dead Holy, "There won't be only one way to go. I've met the Shadow of the Dead who are in their right mind and willing to help, have you asked them?"

"We've seen that the color is not red, it's almost positive white. But they ignored me and hid away when they saw me. ”

"You are a Death Saint, and the negative energy on your body is so strong that you can almost wring out water. Siegel smiled, "I'll figure it out." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. The Dead Holy One said, "Remember, behind you is the New World, where countless beings live. Be careful, don't make any more mistakes, it's no joke!"

"Listen to you, you're not going to stay here?"

The corners of the little girl's mouth pulled out a strange arc, as if she was laughing, but more like she was twitching slightly: "I've been here for many years, it's time to take a break." God doesn't get tired, but the Holy One still feels that way. ”

"You're telling the truth. Siegel looked at the shadow of the Dead flying in the sky, raised his hand and released a few spells, and began to tinker and strengthen the illusion circle here. "Okay, you go, I'll take over. ”

The little girl turned around and left, without saying goodbye or nostalgia. Siegel always felt that something was wrong, but he still blamed most of it on the cold temper of the Dead Holy. The illusion array here is well designed, and Riele has integrated his own command into it before he gave up on the magic god. By studying and repairing the magic circle here, it is also very beneficial for Siegel to accelerate the absorption of divine fire.

When Siegel spread out his divine power, he finally knew what kind of work the circle of gods was. The length and width of the formation were ten miles, but the power of space created a radius of thousands of miles inside. Fortunately, the spread of the kingdom of God is not affected by the folding of space, otherwise it would be difficult for Siegel himself to completely envelop the magic circle.

In the circle, the attacked and fallen cities are only a corner of the scene, and there are many more similar to it, such as the wilderness where life has been lost, the forest where it has taken refuge, and the Elemental Legions that are fighting back. Among them, the Elemental Legion has a lot of Heim Territory flavor, and this scene is very new, and it also gathers the most Shadow of the Dead.

The illusion of this scene is full of traces of elven magic, and in many places it is a poor imitation of the Siegel Elemental Rune Guard. The four elements form a mighty formation, defending the rune fortress of Myr in the rear, and fighting against the shadows of the dead that spread across the mountains. Because the elementals cannot be possessed, and their elemental power can affect the actions of the Shadow of the Dead to a certain extent, it can still be inseparable.

It's a complex battle with a lot of different details on the battlefield. Siegel walked through this battlefield as if he were experiencing a real scene. Priests who work to disperse the undead, warriors who fire crossbows with electric plasma, and mages who wield magic are the main forces of the battlefield, and the Shadow of the Dead has a great hatred for them. This emotion is ubiquitous, enhancing the power of the Shadow of the Dead, allowing them to resurrect themselves after repeated defeats and charge forward with more spirit.

The other scenes are similar here, mostly reflecting war, killing and revenge against each other. Siegel stood in the circle for a long time, and spent three days and three nights analyzing it.

"This is a Knox Circle, a vendetta version of the Tranquility Circle!" Siegel, who opened his eyes again, couldn't hold back the shock in his heart. The idea of the gods is to use the phantom array to satisfy the Shadow of the Dead with revenge, so that it will gradually calm down and no longer be a threat. The idea was good, but when the Shadow of the Dead went south and found that he had only been deceived, the hatred was rekindled, and it was stronger than before.

Since the circle is much older, it is likely that a mage came to the northern wall of storms in order to explore the edge of the world, saw this circle, and then learned some of the spell ideas in it, and improved and carried it forward, gradually forming a new mind-control spell faction of the Knox Society. He also saw the Shadow of the Dead during that trip, and even contacted the Nymphs in the process of researching. Knox and Nakhus are entangled with each other and use each other in the long river of time.

I finally understood why the Norsk Commons were able to control the Shadow of the Dead, thanks to the guiding effect of the Circle of Tranquility. Compared to the Crimson Spire, the circle here looks very old and outdated, and there are many places that could be repaired.

Siegel raised his hand to prepare for this work, and even thought of a way to strengthen the circle with the Myr Core and completely trap the Shadow of the Dead. Speaking of a thousand ways and ten thousand, the Shadow of the Dead is not invincible, they will still be damaged and lose the ability to act under the irradiation of positive energy. The Mir Cores provide a near-infinite amount of energy that the Shadow of the Dead cannot compete with. Even if you can't completely destroy the Shadow of the Dead, it can form a very effective suppression!

Why didn't they do it, and didn't even think of the idea?The last time the Elven Sage strengthened this circle was after Heim had received the Elemental Rune Legion, which shows ......

"Trap!" Siegel immediately rushed out. The circle that trapped the shadow of the dead also restricted his movements, and it was impossible to get out in a straight line. He immediately unfolded the kingdom of the gods, and although it was not as powerful and vast as it was in the heyday of the magic god, it still formed its own realm of rules.

A new seed of rules emerges, making the Wall of Storms feel insulted and provoked. Huge bolts of destructive lightning struck continuously, piercing through the circle that trapped the shadow of the dead soul, and slammed directly into the shell of the kingdom of God. Siegel felt numb all over, and the kingdom of God trembled twice, but persevered in the storm of destruction.

More lightning is gathering, and the Wall of Storms is completely enraged. (To be continued.) )
