316. Vulnerable
"Geros, there's the breath of thunder and lightning energy here."
The gray-looking Shadow Shadow Ghost hovered in the air, its shadow magic robes fluttering in the wind like a broken flag.
This is the chief guardian of the Exiled City, Parifa Tadin, the eight-ring shadow battle wizard.
Beside him, the ghostly figure was his companion named Geros Tadin.
Both have the same surname and both come from the Tadine family.
The Parifa are Shadow Shades with a translucent gray phantom appearance.
Geros is not a Shadow Shade.
On his path to magic, he transformed himself into a shadow death creature called a ghost.
Shadow Spirits are immune to physical damage, as are Shadow Ghosts.
Shadow Spirits can respawn with the help of Shadow Shards and Magic Circles, while Spectres respawn in a slightly different way.
Once killed, the Ghost will not be scattered into Shadow Shards, but will respawn directly within another pre-prepared Ghost Body.
Only by destroying all of the ghost's spare bodies can he be completely destroyed.
This way of being reborn after death is more clever than that of the Shadow Shadow.
In a large sense, the ghost is more afraid of death than the Shadow Shadow, and its combat power is much higher than the latter.
However, the cost of transforming oneself into a ghost is much greater than transforming into a shadow shadow.
The Shadow Wraith gave up fertility in exchange for physical immunity and shard respawns.
The ghost not only gave up the reproductive function, but also completely lost the ability to "speak" and "enjoy".
Geros hovered in the air in a cloak-like shadow, faint wails and screams floating out of him.
This wasn't Geros' voice.
It was the voice of a soul he had absorbed into his body, being tortured and destroyed.
Geros himself could not speak.
He can only convey his meaning by torturing the soul in his body, and by the way, from the process of torturing the soul of others, he can find the "pleasant" feeling that has long since left him.
"I... Feel... It's here..."
A miserable howl rang out inside Geros, like a yin wind that blew through the stalagmite glade:
"The remnants of thunder and lightning here are very strong... The enemy has just left... Jikamodo could have died, or he could have been imprisoned by the enemy..."
"I have a hunch that the enemy is not going far." As a shadow ghost, Parry can speak normally.
He drew his wand and recited a spell, using the tip of his wand to make several black arcs in the air.
The black arc spreads out into a circular black circle.
A large circle of shadow monsters with wings and slender tails emerge from the black circle of light and roam the stalagmite glades.
This is a shadow monster called the "Shadow Gargoyle".
They are natural sentinels who excel at group action and rapid reconnaissance.
The batwings give them the ability to fly quickly, the elongated tail is a natural claw hook and attitude stabilizer, and the "shadow cloak" on the body is magical armor against all non-shadow magic.
Such a group of shadow summons that can fight, fly, and reconnoiter soon found many clues on the scene.
The most striking clue is that the residual concentration of lightning energy at the scene is too high and too high.
It is not uncommon to see electric sparks bursting out of stalagmites, turning into tiny electric snakes and swimming quickly.
Based on the residual concentration of energy, working backwards from the power of the lightning spell in battle, Geros and Perifa came to a startling conclusion:
There was once a ten-ring thunderbolt battle wizard here.
Only this remnant of the Thunderbolt Wizard's magic could stay in the Dark Zone for such a long time.
Uh, this...
There was some misunderstanding.
The "Tracking Thunder Arrow Array" used by Li Nuo is a door field magic, not this magic.
As long as you pour more lightning energy into it, you can directly increase the power of tracking lightning arrows.
Linuo currently has 50 Type I reactors.
So far, he has used 25 of them.
This is enough to create the illusion that "there are ten rings of thunder and lightning battle wizards here".
Therefore, it is not surprising that Geros and Perifa had a misunderstanding, it is really because Li Nuo used too much lightning energy.
In other words, if it weren't for Jikamodo's extremely strong "life-saving" ability, he might have just had a face-to-face with Li Nuo, and was killed by Li Nuo in a set of "Mind Spell + Thunderbolt Spell".
"There seem to be some traces of other faction spells here, but they are hidden by lightning energy, and I can't see the true appearance of those spells."
Through the magical vision applied to the Shadow Gargoyle, Perifa saw the tiny traces left by the environmental restoration.
Regardless, things are going more than Uptown expected.
Shangcheng District believes that the thunder and lightning wizards who stay in the stalagmite woodland only have the strength of about nine rings at most, and it is impossible for ten rings to appear.
To make matters worse, Jikamodo, who came to reconnoitre, failed to send back any information.
Uptown and the vigilant group still don't know if the thunderbolt wizard they are facing is the origin or not.
"Boom, boom..."
A faint explosion came from the direction where the Dark Laborer was.
Perryfa's complexion changed slightly.
Facing in the direction of the laborers, he stretched out his black paws from his eye sockets and sensed energy fluctuations 30 kilometers away.
The collapse of stalagmites and cracks in the ground caused by the lightning bombardment, creating cascading noises, all indicate that the lightning wizards are preventing the laborers from building magical barriers.
"Damn." Perifa cursed under his breath.
He disbanded all the Shadow Gargoyles, turned himself into a dark shadow, and flew towards the ranks of laborers:
"We need to get back! Maybe you can trap a few lightning wizards and torture them to reveal some information! โ
Behind Perifa, Geros was about to perform Shadow Shift, but suddenly became stunned.
His black cloak-like body spun in half a circle in the air, looking at the shadow behind a stalagmite.
Periva didn't know what he saw, and his body shook violently, as if he had discovered something that made him extremely excited.
The soul screams that came out of his body suddenly became extremely excited:
"Pleasure! Enjoy! I felt the passion I hadn't felt in a long time! โ
"What are you doing? Geros? Perifa heard the movement behind him, and hurriedly stopped, turning his head to look at his companion.
Geros paid no attention to Perifa and swooped into a black shadow towards a stalagmite.
"Geros! Geros! Perifa shouted after his companion's back, but could only watch as the other man moved away from him at breakneck speed.
Parry was in a dilemma.
Should he return to the ranks of the laborers as soon as possible to protect the magical barriers, or should he drag his inexplicably mad companions back?
Perifa identified Geros's whereabouts.
The other party is heading for the temporary stronghold of the Thunderbolt Wizard.
"Well, maybe it's not entirely a bad thing to have Geros go over and get some information about the enemy. Anyway, he's a shadow ghost, and even if he is killed, he can be resurrected in the exiled city..."
After a quick thought, Perifa finally chose to fly to the location of the laborers.
Along the way, he always felt that someone was watching him in the dark.
Every now and then, he would feel some kind of mysterious energy fluctuation, lingering in his energy perception.
But whenever he threw a shadow detection spell at an anomaly, he only gained a blank space.
This strange phenomenon lasted for about half a minute.
Just as Paraffa was flying in the direction of the laborer for a full 30 seconds, the scene in front of him suddenly changed dramatically!
In the last second, there was still a dim and uninhabited stalagmite woodland in front of Perifa.
In the next second, a large area of unknown strange flying objects rushed towards him, exploding an incomparably strong thunderbolt around him!
"Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! โ
"Boom, boomโ"
It's like daylight around Parifa!
A full 100 capacitor packs with 1.5 million points of lightning energy are aimed at the Perry method and shoot out all the lightning energy stored inside.
At this moment, even if it was suppressed by the Dark Zone, the magic power of the thunder and lightning explosion reached as much as 105 million points of lightning energy!
"What the hell are these things?!"
Parifa immediately pours the "Shadow Shield" and "Shadow Cloak" with Shadow Energy!
The huge lightning energy shattered his "Shadow Shield" almost instantaneously and descended on him.
The Cloak of Shadows was directly hit by lightning, and a cloud of black smoke erupted.
This magical armor woven from high-quality magical materials and rich shadow energy is like a fallen leaf in a strong wind or a flat boat in a storm.
With the Cloak of Shadows, Perifa was able to resist the lightning blast, but he wasn't sure how long a lightning attack like this would last.
The shadow energy in his body will always be consumed at some point.
At that time, if the Thunderbolt Offensive is not over, then there is only a dead end waiting for him!
At the critical moment, Paraffa rubbed the ring on the little finger of his right hand vigorously.
"Shadow Blinker"!
Paraffa vanished into thin air, completely free from the ferocious thunderstorm.
The black light flashed, and when it reappeared, Perifa was already a few kilometers away from the thunderstorm.
Looking at the place where the dazzling thunder light was, Perifa was terrified and terrified.
At the same time, anger erupted from the bottom of his heart!
"Damn the Thunderbolt Wizard! Get the hell out of here! โ
Perifa raised his arms and slammed down.
The gray-white arms turned black, extended down more than ten meters, and plunged into the ground.
With a few incantations, a dozen dark fountains rose from the ground and plunged into the ceiling.
The dense shadow energy quickly diffused, enveloping Perifa's body in less than five seconds, occupying all the space in his vicinity for nearly a kilometer.
And that's not all, the dark fountain continues to erupt, and the shadow energy spreads outward like a tidal wave.
One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers ...
The Shadow Subplane, composed purely of Shadow Energy, has been summoned to obey the will of Perifa and continues to encroach on the natural world.
Ten seconds later, the natural environment, which had been in the form of a stalagmite woodland, was replaced by a shadow subplane that covered an area of more than ten kilometers.
There is such a well-established saying in the wizarding world:
As long as a single energy is abundant enough, then any magical energy can achieve a spell-breaking effect.
In the Shadow Subplane, there is only Shadow Energy in any corner.
All non-shadow energy is suppressed, and all non-shadow wizards lose their ability to cast spells.
Correspondingly, shadow wizards will be greatly strengthened.
And if a shadow wizard can get the approval of the shadow plane, then the shadow spells he casts will be three, five, or even ten times as many as if they were cast in nature.
At this moment, Perifa, who is in the shadow plane, is a well-deserved king of shadows.
Unless someone can break the Shadow Plane, or deprive the Plane of its blessings, then he will be invincible.
"Come out! Damn Thunderbolt Wizard! It doesn't matter who you are! You shouldn't have provoked Exile! โ
Perifa shouted.
His heart was calmer than he appeared, and he had recovered from the dangerous thunderbolt bombardment.
He discovers a strange place.
He had been flying towards the Dark Laborers, but now he was in the depths of the stalagmite woods.
Even if the teleportation error of the "Shadow Flicker" is counted, he shouldn't be more than 40 kilometers away from the Dark Death Laborers, right?!
What went wrong?!
Perifa was in shock, vaguely aware that he had stepped into some kind of elaborate trap.
"No, I've got to open the portal and leave..."
Perifa yelled for the Thunderbolt Wizard to come out and fight to the death, but he made up his mind to leave.
The Shadow Subplane he unfolds is a temporary subplane created by magic, which is both a shelter and a transit point for teleportation spells.
It only takes some preparation time to communicate with the teleportation anchor in the upper part of the Exiled City, and the Perifa will be able to teleport directly back to the city.
This process lasts approximately 10 seconds and is not to be disturbed.
You must use powerful shadow spells to stop the possible thunder wizards!
"Suffocating Storm"!
A range-type shadow spell that sends out a mass "Suffocating Arrow"!
A single "suffocating arrow" is enough to shred through the shield of the Wizard of the Seven Rings.
Two "Suffocating Arrows" can erase the vital signs of the Wizard of the Seven Rings.
Dead wizards of the Seven Rings will be forcibly converted into Shadow Energy and will be called the new "Suffocating Arrow"!
There are 5,000 "Suffocating Arrows" like this that can be used to nourish war with battle!
Each one is level 85, which is the same level as Parifa, and it is given a bonus from the secondary plane, which increases its destructive power and flight speed by 100%!
In the form of pure black triangular arrows, they coiled around Perifa into a majestic black storm, guarding every angle.
In this case, no enemy should try to hit Perifa.
Except for the shadow wizards who also cast shadow spells!
And it's the kind that has been approved by the Shadow Subplane!
A black hand appeared out of thin air at Perifa's feet, holding out black fingers five meters long at him.
"Shadow Grip?! How is this possible?! โ
Perifa panicked, and the cool air rushed to his head, as if he had seen something incredible.
It was this stunned half a second that the teleportation spell he had worked so hard to prepare was interrupted.
He himself was caught by the Shadow Grip.
Far colder than the wind, the shadow touch seeped into Perifa's body along the skin that came into contact with the Shadow Grip.
Perifa's body trembled, and he tried his best to break free from the Shadow Grip.
But he was desperate to find that although this "Shadow Grip" was only a regular spell, its magic power was level 100!
The claws were like a cage made of reinforced concrete, trapping him tightly.
Not only that, but this claw seems to be approved by the Shadow Plane.
Regardless of whether it was the Shadow Sub-Plane or the "Suffocating Storm" summoned by Parifa with the power of the plane, he didn't use this claw as a target.
"How so..."
Perifa looked glazed, his gaze slightly glazed, and stared blankly at the "Shadow Grip" that had grabbed him.
This spell controls the target and prevents them from casting flying and teleportation spells.
But now, the same "Shadow Grip", and now grabbing Perifa's claws, there is a dense "Dark Dead Cipher's Text".
Perifa's eyes widened suddenly, and he lost his mind completely.
A short sword that glowed gray, slicing through the darkness and stabbing at Perifa.
The dagger with the magic of silence easily broke through Perifa's "Cloak of Shadow" and reached his heart.
The heart, the heart of shadow magic that had been transformed by Parifa, was the greatest weakness in his body.
"Poof~"
No blood appeared.
Perifa's entire person exploded like a punctured balloon, turning into dozens of shadow fragments.
The Shadow Subplane is instantly dissolved.
"Bang bang ..."
The Rock Cage seals all Shadow Shards.
"Bang Bang~"
"Evil Explosion" ignites the Shadow Shard.
[System News:]
[You have successfully eliminated "Parifa Tadin.] ใ
"Huh, that's all there is to it? It's not enough for me to stuff my teeth. I don't even have the "Soul Stasis Force Field"..."
Li Nuo chuckled, held the "Sword of Silence", shook his wrist, flicked a sword flower, and put it into the blood space.
He summoned the Tracking Bolt and ploughed the ground nearby, erasing the energy fluctuations of the death spell.
Looking around, there was no one around, and none of the "tracking markers" monitoring the battlefield were alerted.
"Deconstructing the core system is really better than I thought..."
Leno picked up a magic orb and looked at the sleeping ghost inside.
This ghost is none other than the chief city protector named Geros.
Leno used deconstruction to get information on the "weaknesses" of Geros and Perifa.
Perifa is a shadow ghost with a sound mind.
Geros, on the other hand, is a mentally crippled ghost who is easily attracted to certain phenomena and can be used by Li Nuo.
Leno lures Geros away with a mechanical spirit enchanted with "psychic illusions".
- In Geros's eyes, this machine spirit was a thing that would bring him great pleasure.
Leno didn't know what Geros saw, but anyway, as soon as Geros saw the mechanical spirit, he was completely intrigued.
When Perifa was blinded by the "Perceptual Tampering", Leno used the "Rock Imprisonment Technique" to suppress Geros.
The "Rock Imprisonment Technique" is level 100, and Geros is only level 85, and he is trapped by "psychic illusions".
Li Nuo took it down with ease.
When Geros found himself in a cage and wanted to blow himself up and die and be reborn in exile, the treasure he got from Jikamodรณ helped Lino seal Geros.
This treasure is the Shadow Orb in Li Nuo's hand, a magic item that can make shadow creatures fall into an endless sleep.
Originally, this magic item was used to capture shadow monsters.
Now, it has become a weapon for Li Nuo to seal Geros.
As long as the Orb of Shadow Magic is not destroyed by external forces, Geros will remain asleep.
He can't fight, and correspondingly, he can't break free from the seal with the help of rebirth.
"I just happened to find a shadow magic in the Shadow Master's Study Notes that transforms shadow ghosts into magical golems..."
Li Nuo raised the corners of his mouth:
"After I prepare the materials needed for magic, this chief city protector named Geros will become my magic puppet. It's very good, it's good, it's going to be this shadow magic puppet to deal with the short-eyed Pure Light Wizard in the future. โ
"Sir, are you busy right now? I have something to report to you. โ
Noreen's voice sounded in Li Nuo's head.
"What's the matter? Noreen? Li Nuo asked.
Noreen says:
"That's right, sir. While I was directing the Mechanics to harass the Assassin Laborers, Hinton took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene. He is now being chased by the Overseer of Darkness. Do you think you're going to send a machine spirit to help him? โ
"He's quite clever." Li Nuo nodded and said in an appreciative tone:
"I like young people who are smart and full of faith. You look at him first, and I'll meet him personally. โ
"Yes, sir." (End of chapter)
