Chapter Fifty-Eight: Balk's Death
After a while, Balk was a little dizzy, he knew that this was the result of overusing mental power, and if he continued like this, he really couldn't hold on.
Doubts slowed his reaction a step, and Leon seized the opportunity to charge with a "heavy blow" that left a deep scar on the opponent's body.
Undead creatures don't feel pain, but injuries can affect their movements, and Balk knows that he is almost finished, and the remaining mental strength can't even maintain his physical strength for long.
Any humanoid creature transformed into a lich will create a life box that stores part of the soul, hiding it in a place that only he knows, and even if he dies in battle, he will be reborn in the life box, but the rebirth of a junior lich takes a long time, at least 5 to 7 days, and then there will be a recovery period of several months to half a year, and it is not certain whether it can be restored to its original strength.
So generally speaking, junior lich don't want to be reborn so lightly with the life box, but I'm afraid it won't be possible this time.
"But I just used it once!"
Balk was too aggrieved, he was born a high-level creature in the undead race, and he was forced to such a point by a junior warrior! If he hadn't used the life box in a battle not long ago, the director's strength had not yet recovered to the third order, and pinching such a warrior to death was not like playing!
He decided that even if he had to use the life box again, he would make the other party pay the corresponding price, otherwise he would become a laughing stock if he returned! So he stopped dodging, let the opponent's weapon insert into his shoulder, and used his last mental power to cast a "life-killing touch", which was attached to the hard phalanges and gouged into Leon's eyes.
Leon dodged with a snort, and at the same time severed the opponent's arm with a sword, but the junior lich continued to pounce on him with one hand as if it was fine, and actually made a melee professional move as a spellcaster, his fingers glowed darkly, and it was obviously some kind of dark spell, but it seemed that it could only be effective if it was "touched" through guΓ².
At this time, Li Ang was no longer in a hurry, he knew that the other party was already at the end of the crossbow, so he changed to the Bauhinia swordsmanship and began to wander, consuming the enemy with a combat skill from time to time.
After a few back and forth, Balk was scarred, but if he didn't directly hurt the soul fire, the lich's vitality was still very tenacious.
Where?head?chest?or ......
Leon's gaze glanced at the enemy's lower three paths.
Suddenly, several figures entered the range of the battlefield map, and Katarina's voice came: "The key is in the middle of the chest!"
The "Nightmare Technique" quickly disappeared without Balk's maintenance, and when she woke up and found that several people who had been attacked followed the sound to find this place, the knight girl knew more about dark creatures than others, and immediately raised her voice to warn.
Then she whispered to Sophia, "Weapon Holy Enchantment!"
The priest girl reacted quickly and raised the "sigh of rest" to trigger the constant enchanted weapon.
At this time, Leon was hearing the prompt, and a sword stabbed towards the most center of the enemy's chest.
"Haha! I'll be born again! I'm going to ...... then."
Before Balk could finish his voice, he saw a bright, chilling glow on the other man's weapon.
"Don't!"
The screams pierced the sky, and the "spider thorn" went straight into Balk's chest with divine power, lightly breaking through the skin, shattering the skeleton, and piercing into the soul fire hidden in the middle.
Balk's whole body was shrouded in white light, and his body twisted and trembled and gradually dissipated, and soon disappeared completely in front of everyone.
"You guys came just in time, did this sword kill him completely?" Li Ang ignored the prompt to gain 2,500 points of huge experience, and sat on the ground, he was actually about to collapse, even if he had a "durable" talent to reduce the consumption of combat skills, but a dozen or so charges in a row also exhausted his body.
In fact, he didn't know now that if compared to a warrior of the same rank, he could unleash more combat skills in a row than the "Persistent" talent provided, thanks to the extra physical strength provided by his 16 points of willpower.
"It's not that simple, it's just that being hit by an attack with divine damage attached to it will make it take a lot longer for him to respawn," Caterina walked over and looked around.
"That's enough, they sent people to hunt down and kill, which shows that what they just found is really important," Leon said with a frown, "No one has seen us except the lich, so the longer he comes back to life, the safer we will be." β
Caterina agreed, and she turned around a few times and suddenly said, "Lich is good at psychic attacks, how did you recover so quickly?"
"That Cheng DΓΉ's mental attack is too pediatric!" Leon laughed triumphantly, then gasped violently.
"Then how were you able to defeat a third-order junior lich with the strength of a second-order warrior who had just turned into a second-order warrior?"
"Third Order? I don't think so," Leon was a little puzzled, "His spell attacks seem a little weak to me......"
The knight girl was silent for a while, and then said, "Don't be too complacent, I won't be left behind by you!"
With that, she flicked her ponytail and walked back with a slight heaviness.
"That's a little inexplicable...... "Li Ang was even more puzzled, "Are you still unhappy that I killed the enemy who sneaked up?"
......
In addition to these two people, the other members of the group were still a little confused, Melissa looked at the ashes on the ground stupidly and asked, "What kind of monster is this just now?"
Sophia had just used the emblem to inspire the healing mantra, and when she heard Melissa's words, she quickly hugged her and smiled happily: "I know, I know!
The priest girl made an obvious mistake in judgment and pulled Melissa and walked back, apparently wanting Leon to rest for a while.
And Jeff squatted aside, and after a while, he said, "Captain, we have developed this time......
He was holding the ring that had fallen from Balk's body, handed it to Leon, and picked up the metal headband on the side.
"Type: Elite Magic Item (Ring/Accessory)
Name: Arsonist
Effect: Increases CON by 1, Intelligence by 2, Resistance to Fire Damage by 20%
Blazing Shield (2 times per day)
Burst Fireball (1 per day)
-- Be fully prepared to play with fire. β
Type: Intermediate Magic Item (Headband/Protector)
Name: Mage Head Ring
Effect: Increased Intelligence by 1, Perception by 1"
......
Both of them "exploded", and there was a well-grade ring...... Leon was moved to tears, not only for the booty, but also to find that the aura of the black hand seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
One green, one blue, is a small boss, Li Ang summed it up with his own "unique" opinion.
He put the ring on his finger, and the slightest coolness immediately spread from the ring to his body, and he seemed to be able to clear his mind.
Leon took off the ring and put it in his backpack with the headband, and found Jeff holding a pile of rags in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Leon asked casually, "That robe must have been damaged." β
It was the robe on Balk's body, which was also kept, but it had been severely damaged in the battle, and Leon had already examined it, and the feedback he gave was "damaged robe"
"I know it's broken, but how much would this be worth if it were to be in the Magic Item Shop?"
"This thing has no value at all now, and it is estimated that no one will ask for it if you take it, are you very short of money?"
"I used to have a dozen silver coins in my hand, but since I joined our team, I don't even have copper coins......" Jeff said dejectedly.
"Don't worry, according to our progress, there will soon be a lot of gold coins, and when the time comes, we will buy you two dimensional bags, one on the left and one on the right!" Leon painted the brown-haired man with a beautiful picture of the future.
"This ...... I can't get excited at all," Jeff frustratedly shook his head and left the rags on the ground.
"It seems that the undead creatures must be planning something, and this is very important, we need to inform the mercenary guild as soon as possible," Caterina said her thoughts when she saw Leon return, "and the mercenary guild may not be able to handle it themselves, and they must inform the Council of the Capital of Chaos." β
"Don't mention this matter to anyone except to inform the mercenary union, everyone must remember," Leon agreed with Katerina's proposal, while also making his own request.
"Why? Isn't it good to keep everyone on their guard?" Melissa wondered.
"The secret in this matter may involve many forces, any of which will be a behemoth to our mercenary group, if everyone knows that it is an undead creature that we have discovered, they can crush us to death with a single finger if they want to retaliate," Leon said as he stared at Melissa.
What he was most worried about now was this girl, not that he didn't trust her, but that Melissa rarely dealt with people, she was too simple, and it would be bad if she said it inadvertently.
Melissa nodded as if she didn't understand, she didn't know anything about the so-called forces and mercenary groups, but she could hear that Li Ang's request was for the safety of the entire team.
"Alright, let's go, it's really dangerous if anyone else comes. β
Commander Li Ang gave an order, and the group of Dawn Mercenaries quickly left and headed in the direction of Gray Town.
