Chapter 349: Mystic Breath, Blade of Illusion
"Who are you?"
At this time, an old and hoarse voice came from Li Ang's ears.
Leon turned his head and saw the wizard Adelaide standing near the altar, staring at him, his eyes faintly burning with green ghostly flames.
"Uh......"
Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then decided to cooperate with the wizard in acting, pretending to be confused: "What kind of place is this?" β
"Temple."
Adelaide slowly approached Leon and whispered, "The sacrificial hall of the gods." β
As he spoke, he put his hand on Leon's forehead, "Give your soul!" β
Before he could finish speaking, the wizard's pupils suddenly contracted, and as if he had been electrocuted, he jerked back.
Leon's eyelids throbbed violently, and the muscles in his body tensed to the extreme.
In the next second, Li Ang's consciousness returned to his body, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, sweating profusely, his heart beating wildly, and he couldn't breathe.
He clutched his chest and gasped for air, feeling extremely happy.
What had just happened was so strange that he almost forgot that he was in a fantasy world.
"I ...... Did I survive? β
Li Ang looked at his body in a daze, his face full of dazed and incredulous, "That's not right...... Why is this happening? Have I been taken away by a sorcerer? β
If it's just a simple dream, it's okay, the problem is that the difference between reality and dreams is too big, and it makes people feel like they are in a trance unreal.
Fortunately, Leon knew that he should have escaped from the illusion and was safe for the time being.
He tentatively reached out and grabbed at the grass next to him.
Swish.
The grass shook slightly, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Li Ang tried to get up again and walked a few steps, but found that this body was not a virtual image of his imagination, but a real physical body, and could even do a lot of simple movements, with very clear strength, speed, and reflex nerves, without any stagnation.
"That's ...... so"
Leon showed a surprised expression, "Although I don't know how to break the illusion, I have successfully escaped from the illusion!" Haha, I made it! β
In addition, the body has some rudimentary skills - such as writing on the ground with branches, crawling, and so on.
Leon experimented with it and confirmed that there were no side effects, so he immediately picked up the branch and prepared to writeβin the wizarding world, language is the most basic means of communication, especially for creatures like wizards.
It's a pity that as soon as Li Ang picked up the pen, his head was dizzy.
He hurriedly gave up his plan to write, forced himself to calm down, and pondered how to get out of the desolate castle.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance, and it seemed that a girl was in danger and was running towards it.
"Help~"
Li Ang followed the sound and saw a group of black-haired and blue-eyed young men and women, running towards the castle in a panic.
Is there anyone here?
Li Ang perked up and hurriedly followed.
β¦β¦
"Quick, quick, mend it!"
"Hack it!"
"Don't stop! Kill it! β
In front of the stone chamber at the end of a long corridor, seven or eight young men and women were besieging a giant beast, brandishing weapons and slashing wildly.
On the walls around the stone chamber, there are many hideous and grotesque skeleton sculptures, some of which are demonic figures with human heads and snake bodies, and some are beautiful women in gorgeous dresses.
In the center of a pile of bones, a fiery red ball of light was burning, and inside the ball of light was a translucent white spirit, which was howling in pain.
The spirit body is more than two meters tall, and its entire body is made of some kind of hard material, as if it is made of blood coagulation, exuding strong evil energy fluctuations.
"This is the Lich?"
Li Ang secretly smacked his tongue, dumbfounded.
He had personally come into contact with something similar in the illusion, those undead golems that wizards had refined using special spells, and their combat power was comparable to that of professionals.
But those undead puppets are limited to hand-to-hand combat, and cannot cast spells or magic, as long as they are touched by ordinary people, they will instantly turn into ashes.
But this lich in front of him can manipulate evil powers, summon undead, and devour blood and souls!
Leon looked closely, and was shocked to find that the structure of this lich's body was completely different from that of regular undead, filled with all kinds of complex spell runes, containing terrifying power.
"Anyway, let's solve it first!"
Leon took a deep breath, clenched his fists, kicked the ground hard with his feet, and his body burst into flames, and he sprinted towards the lich.
The lich heard the movement and turned his neck, his scarlet gaze glancing around.
"Roar!"
It erupted in an angry roar from deep in its throat and slapped it out, the air whining and exploding with the pressure of the wind.
Li Ang had already expected this move, dodged it in advance, picked up a wooden stick in the corner of the wall, and threw it at the lich.
Bang.
The lich shattered the stick with a punch and kicked Leon away.
Leon fell to the ground, rolled several times, and with the help of the elasticity of the wooden stick, he jumped up, rounded his arms, and continued to attack.
The lich did not show weakness and swung his fist at him.
Bang bang bang!
Two stout men wrestled in the cramped, dimly lit room, sticks and fists striking each other, creating a shocking crash.
In just a few seconds, Li Ang received four or five heavy blows, his ribs were hot and painful, and blood stains spilled from the corners of his mouth, obviously seriously injured.
"Whew!"
The lich let out a foul breath, snapped the stick with one claw, and threw it out, slamming it into Leon's shoulder.
Leon stumbled to the ground with a broken right arm.
"Hiss~"
The lich grinned and approached, pressing his left knee between his chest and abdomen, causing Leon to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person bowed into a shrimp shape, falling straight to the ground, completely losing his resistance.
The lich looked down at Leon and said grimly, "Despicable mortals...... How dare you offend the dignity and majesty of my king! Sin is unforgivable! β
He raised his right paw and grabbed at Leon.
Suddenly, the lich's form froze, frozen in place, motionless.
"Huh?" Leon blinked, a little strange.
He could feel the strong aura emanating from the lich's body vanishing into a plain, middle-aged wizard.
"It's ......"
Li Ang was stunned and said, "The illusion has collapsed? β
"Yes, you're right......
The wizard smiled, "The illusion you are in now is the 'Misty Forest' built by my king himself, as long as you enter this misty forest, you will be permanently lost, and no matter which way you flee, you will return to this ancient castle." β
As he spoke, the wizard looked down at Leon, who was lying motionless on the ground, with a mocking look in his eyes, "Stupid mortal. Do you think that by your wisdom you can survive in the realm of my king? Oh, it's too much to do! β
"Huh?"
Leon raised his eyebrows and looked at the wizard suspiciously, "Isn't it a disorienting illusion?" β
The wizard scoffed, "Of course not. This misty forest was created by our king with his own blood. In this place, my king is the only master!
