Chapter 128: Necrosis and Growth
The moment he heard Alexandra's answer, Shug shut his mouth.
No matter how you think about it, it's really hard to accept.
Jacob, lying on the back of the Ramping Mouse, remained silent.
In the current situation, silence is, of course, an answer.
The Rat retreated cautiously to Shug's side, and Jacob Ernst quietly returned to Shug's mental world, his mood obviously a little bad, but generally stable.
"Let's do it."
Jacob's words had no weight, reminding Shuge of the sound of dead leaves falling.
"Those who are trapped here, their will is gone," he said. ”
Shuge knew that Jacob was lying, but he didn't expose it, just as he had tried before, the souls and wills that remained in this huge deformed body had probably been assimilated by the power of Mother Earth God.
Even if they did have anything left, it would only be a deep despair left over from endless pain and suffering.
Maybe there is one last trace of the extravagance of complete death.
Shug looked at the huge figure that was searching in the darkness, it was still repeating the same low roar as before, although there was no longer a "translation" of the Running Mouse, but Shug knew that Jacob Ernst's wife, the remnant of the soul of Imini, was still desperate for relief.
Xiuge sighed silently, and then began to take a closer look at the terrifying monster.
Although it looks very weak, its size is too amazing, and the vitality and strength base it possesses is also extremely abnormal.
Considering that it was the terrifying "life force" from Mother Earth that created the monster's huge body, Xiuge was not sure if he could directly kill it in a short period of time, and he even doubted that for such a creature, even if its body was cut off and its head was cut off, it would still be able to maintain a certain degree of activity.
"The hound's fangs should be fatal, and the touch of Calon may be able to cut off its limbs and heads, but the consequences of such physical contact are unknown...... As for the lethal tricks I have mastered, forget it, it's not tickle enough. ”
As he pondered, Hug took out the pages of the magic book that Wei Lin had given him from his pocket.
When he read the magic patterns on the pages and the notes written in the corners of the pages, he was filled with gratitude to his teacher—all of them were standard valley-level magic.
Wei Lin is very self-aware of her status as a magician, so when she transcribes and engraves magic, she selects some Valley-level magic that has a wider range of applicability and is more directly lethal, and these are typical of them.
Perhaps because Vicline had anticipated that these spells might be given to "someone" to use, she gave a brief description of the possible effects of these spells and the scenarios in which they could be used in the notes in the corner of the page.
There are four pages in total, three of which are engraved with Rivervalley-level magic, and one is with Verin's own magic spell, "The Cold Pool".
Shug put away the pages of the "Cold Pool", he had seen Vilyn perform this magic several times, and even if he hadn't used it himself, he probably knew what it was.
As for the other three valley-level magics, Xiuge must be familiar with them.
The first page uses a large number of magic patterns to carve a standard ellipse, and in the center of the ellipse, a human face that screams and wails because of pain is depicted with lines, this magic is called "Resonance Dance", which can quickly create a large-scale, high-intensity mental impact, which can be called an enhanced version of "brain spikes", in the corner of this page, Wei Lin copied a sentence with heavy brushstrokes, and drew two circles on it as a reminder.
"Regardless of whether you are the enemy or the enemy, pay attention to dodge!"
Obviously, this is a psychic distraction spell that encompasses the caster himself.
Thinking of the mental impact he suffered for the first time because of the broken magic power, Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, that feeling was really uncomfortable, if he came in the middle of the battle, it was indeed very likely to have a significant impact on the battle situation.
On the second page, dark red magic crystals were added to the patterns, which made them look like a hot, bright fire.
"Merlinle and the Wall of Flames...... Well, you can see what is going on at a glance! ”
Shuge grinned a little amusedly.
This magic named directly after the headquarters of the Judicial Council is very classic, in his previous world, gamers generally referred to it as a wall of fire, as for what kind of wall of fire is, it doesn't matter, after all, everyone knows what kind of magic can produce specific effects.
And Wei Lin's notes here are also very concise.
"Stay away; Ten meters wide, two meters thick, bendable. ”
Xiuge estimated the size of the possible wall of fire, but couldn't help but shake his head, none of these three magic seemed to be able to cause particularly effective direct damage, after all, the monster not far away could move, it would not obediently stand in place and be burned by the fire.
So he had to hope for the last page.
The magic patterns on the pages did not disappoint him, this time, Xiuge saw a large number of pitch-black lines - these cold magic patterns were connected end to end, outlining a huge black bow and arrow on the thick paper, the bowstring was in a state of being pulled apart, and on top of it was a sharp arrow also composed of black magic patterns, even if the page had not been triggered now, Xiuge could feel the aura of death and decay contained in it.
"Death's Breath?"
Shuge silently pronounced the name of the magic, and the name alone already indicated the faction of the spell to which it belonged.
It's uncompromising necromancy.
In the perception of ordinary people, this is also a terrifying existence second only to evil magic.
According to Wei Lin's notes, Xiuge realized that this was actually a special magic with the same principle as the "Demon Bow", although it could not directly kill the target, it could create five special magic bullets or arrows, which could be used to assassinate important targets, or to target those large and tenacious magical creatures.
"Deprivation of life? Sounds a bit similar to the 'instant death' trait......"
Satisfied, Shuge put the page in his right pocket, although he didn't know much about necromancy, "Death's Breath" was a special magic of the valley level, it was obviously very suitable for the current situation, and Xiuge was even able to fire quickly through his own revolver rifle.
After confirming the process, Shug immediately took action, quickly came directly opposite the beast, summoned the mage's hand, and carried the pages of the "Cold Pool" and "Resonance Dance" magic book that could limit the enemy's movement forward, and after confirming that the revolver rifle was in order, he held the "Breath of Death" page with the black bow and arrow pattern in his hand.
Without much hesitation and foreshadowing, the magic began to be injected directly.
Even the valley-level magic engraved on the pages of the book in advance also had a rigid requirement for the total amount of mana, so the metal disc began to rotate at high speed, and a large amount of magic power poured out from the spiritual world of the cultivation and flowed to the pitch-black bow on the paper.
The sudden magic restlessness naturally attracted the attention of the giant beast, the iron chain began to sound, the huge body slowly lifted, and the flesh whiskers that had also become extremely exaggerated due to the infusion and catalysis of the life force immediately began to move, growing on the edge of the body, and the relatively thick and powerful limbs also began to work at the same time, which made the ugly and hideous figure begin to approach in the direction of Xiuge, but before taking two steps, the iron chain that bound it was tightened again.
"Roar!"
This time, it was no longer the dull roar it emitted, the loud sound even made the pages in Xiuge's hand shake violently, and with the movements of the giant beast, the flow of the power of the Earth Mother God flowing in the altar began to change faintly.
"Something is wrong!"
With the magical vision provided by the messenger in the mirror, Shug could clearly see that the dark yellow glow of the gods' blessing was constantly beating around the edge of the altar, and they seemed to be moving along the preset magic circuit towards the deep pit in the center of the altar!
At this moment, the pages of the "Breath of Death" in Xiuge's hand had already received enough magic power, and the magic took effect immediately.
At this moment, it was as if there was really a god of death blowing a cold breath in Xiuge's ears, and the skeletons that filled this deep pit began to tremble violently under the influence of this death force, as if they were about to get up from the ground and reorganize at any time.
The pages burned between Huge's fingers, a pitch-black and temperatureless fire of necromancy.
In just two breaths, the page that had extracted most of Xiuge's mana burned out in the fire of death, and the deep death magic power swirled and converged above Xiuge's palm, and then, in the dangerous cloud, five pitch-black bullets formed according to Xiuge's will fell, and he held it precisely in his hand.
The speed of the bullet reload, supported by the memories of those veterans, almost reached its limit, and as the nest was reset and held in place by the metal lever, Xiug immediately began to raise the gun to aim.
At this time, the power of this large ancient altar had gathered above, and in the magical vision, Shuge could see that the dull earth-like light was rapidly advancing towards the giant beast along the demonic chain.
Xiuge had a hunch, and this time, this strange altar probably didn't intend to continue to use this giant beast as its own tool and energy source...... If this altar could really communicate the will of the god, then by now, it would probably want the beast and its own outsider to fight to the death.
"I'm sorry, I can only die for you!"
The trigger was quickly pulled, and this time, because of the extremely exaggerated magic of the bullet itself, for the first time, Xiuge felt a huge shock from the revolver rifle that he could not control, and the moment the bullet was fired, he could barely hold the firearm.
The magic of Calron's touch was revealed at this moment.
Two flexible tentacles with inhuman strength immediately emerged from the void in response to Xiuge's instinctive reaction, and they wrapped so the body of the revolver rifle that they became two special and flexible mounts.
At this point, there was no time for Shuge to check the results and marvel at the whimsy of his instinctive reaction, he quickly adjusted the nest of the revolver, and then pulled the trigger again.
A huge amount of magical steam wafted out from the cracks in the nest, and at this time, Shug heard a terrifying howl that shook the entire underground world.
The first bullet successfully hit the head of the giant beast, so the power of death poured directly into the huge head that had been mutated, and the power of death, which stood on the opposite side of life, showed its terrible power in an instant, the skin and flesh began to fester, the blood dried up and deteriorated, the water was forcibly withdrawn from the body, and the hard bones became soft and fragile......
The second bullet burrowed into the beast's body, and a large number of limbs growing from the sides of its body began to die rapidly, and a large number of pieces of flesh peeled off from its body itself, smashing on the white bones.
However, it was not only the "Breath of Death" magic bullet that really brought pain to this giant beast, the plundering of death and the withering of flesh that brought it had now collided violently with the life force that poured along the demonic chain.
It was as if the two strong alchemy potions had been mixed and stirred on a large scale, and the terrifying scene began to occur, with the third and fourth bullets hitting, the body of the giant beast actually fell into continuous collapse, necrosis and recombination, and Xiuge even saw that the gaps that had been severely broken, and could almost see the bones and deformed internal organs were covered by the life force that had been forcibly infused by the altar in an instant, so a large number of new flesh and limbs grew at an astonishing rate, and immediately filled those gaps.
However, this frenzy of growth was destined to be morbid and disorderly, it did not take into account the original form of the beast, the necrotic parts of the body were filled in the wrong way, and the damaged limbs and the tendrils used to support the body were directly catalyzed into the terrible sarcoma, and under its effect, everything was changing in the direction of disorder.
With the last magic bullet being fired, the erosion caused by the "Breath of Death" has also been superimposed to the highest peak.
Under the continuous impact of the two forces, the huge body bound by the iron chain fell to the ground with a bang, but even so, it still struggled.
With the help of the magical vision, Xiuge could clearly see that the power from the Earth Mother God was constantly flowing and converging in his body, and the position of the head of this giant beast was the center of this power convergence!
Seeing this, Xiuge decisively threw down the revolver rifle in his hand that was on the verge of collapse due to the continuous shooting of river valley-level magic bullets, the tooth of the hound appeared in his right hand, and with the pull of the trigger, the wolf tooth tattoo on Xiuge's wrist stabbed, and the bullet had already carried the special power of the Abyss Court to his target.
