Chapter 5: Three-phase phantoms

With his excellent business ability, Alan quickly won the favor of the pampered lady.

Not long after, Baiara also proved her great worth to Eren in the war against the undead.

The army of the undead has come to the city.

Alan led the demon mercenary group out of the city to defend against the enemy.

At the same time, Baiara plans to go it alone and teleport directly to the Necropolis dungeon to sneak up on the necromancer's hometown!

"Madam, William and Spencer are not accompanied by bone dragons, and they are probably staying in the main city."

Before leaving, Alan politely cared for Baiara.

"You're alone, deep behind enemy lines, if you encounter a bone dragon, will it be dangerous?"

"Huh! My little heart, don't worry about me. ”

Byara wore an enchanted crown and held a holy emblem, and her smile exuded a strong confidence.

"As a 'Glorious Nun', dealing with stinky bones is my specialty!"

"It's just a bone dragon, it's not a threat to me."

"Be careful yourself, and if something happens, feel free to send me a psychic message."

"Also, turn on sensory sharing, and I'll take the time to see what's going on on your side."

"If necessary, I'll help you defuse the threat."

"Yes, ma'am, I wish you a good trip!"

Alan kissed her face and hugged her goodbye.

Seeing the figure of the pet lady, she disappeared into the teleportation array.

Allen's eyes were gloomy.

He originally estimated that Baiara had the strength of the early stage of the sixth order.

Against the bone dragons who are also in the early stage of the sixth order, they will not be able to eat steadily.

However, judging by the disdain with which Baiara mentions the bone dragon......

I'm afraid I have greatly underestimated the strength of this witch!

The stronger Baiara is, the more help he will be provided at the moment.

But in the long run, the bigger the hidden dangers!

Eren gritted his teeth, it seemed that he would have to lie dormant for a while, and continue to be a lackey of the Burning Legion.

Wait until you are promoted to the sixth order, and then you can jump back!

Retracting his thoughts, Alan led the troops out of the city to fight.

Orcs, ogres, minotaurs and other descendant troops, Alan was reluctant to lose them, and stayed in the city to serve as a reserve.

The main force of this battle is the demon mercenary who has been exchanged for souls.

Allen, don't trust the devil!

Don't dare to put the demon by your side, for fear of being plotted.

His personal guards are the Flesh Golem "Meat Mound" and the Totem Beamon.

The presence of these two absolutely loyal men by his side made him feel a little at ease.

On the other side, a tide of necromancy has swept over.

The front row is as usual cannon fodder such as skeletons and zombies.

There are also ghouls mixed in.

There was a looming spirit in the air.

In the back row is a robed corpse witch, preparing to unleash the "cloud of death".

Two necromancers, residing in the middle of the necromancer.

William is also wearing a robe, but the style is more special.

It looks more like a scarlet floor-length dress.

It is also commensurate with his heavy makeup.

Spencer's style of painting is completely different.

This bald man is covered in tattoos.

Dressed in armor and carrying a silver alchemy sword on his shoulder!

Both stood on a high place, silently watching the battle.

At the same time, Alan was also lined up in front of the city gate.

On his side, there is no shortage of cannon fodder.

A large group of self-destructing demons, charging at the forefront.

Dive headlong into the pile of the undead, boom!

Fry a big slice!

Behind the self-destructing demon, followed by the cunning demon who opened the "revenge aura".

The moment the self-destruction demon exploded, the cunning demon behind him was also affected.

With the "Revenge Aura", you can transfer damage you take to nearby enemies.

With such layers of superposition, the damage caused to the undead troops is even more terrifying than that of the self-detonator!

The Cunning Demon itself has a "quick self-healing" physique.

In a chaotic battlefield, the odds of survival are higher.

Soon, the tide of the undead was contained.

Fragile skeletons, clumsy zombies, have fallen.

Reveals a more elite ghoul force.

On Allen's side, the backbone combat forces such as the Ape Demon, the Eagle Demon and the Succubus Demon also came on the field one after another.

Inflict a brutal dimensionality reduction blow on ghouls!

William found that the battle situation was unfavorable, frowned, and issued two orders in succession.

The resentful spirits in the air quickly moved forward and entered the battlefield.

At the same time, the Zombie Witches unleashed a "cloud of death" towards the melee to provide fire support to the undead troops.

Seeing this, Alan smiled coldly.

The undead's tactics, he already had a strategy to deal with.

The Shadow Demon Troop will take to the skies en masse to meet the Wraiths!

Flesh and blood, against the virtual body ghosts, suffer too much.

The Shadow Demon, who is also an imaginary body, can easily deal with the resentful spirit.

The biggest threat to the enemy comes from the Corpse Witch.

The cloud of death, harmless to the undead, has caused a lot of damage to the demons.

Alan summoned a large group of hippie smiling demon children to his side.

The average weight of the magic boy is only ten kilograms.

Allen's "Thousand Miles of Leisure", with a load of five tons!

Carry 100 demon boys, plus flesh golems and Beamon, teleport collectively, and go straight behind enemy lines!

Teleportation drop-off, behind the Witches.

Hundreds of demon boys walked out of the teleportation array and immediately extracted the magic power of the nearby corpse witches.

In an instant, half of the corpse witches' magic power was drained!

The demon boys use the stolen magic power to unleash invisibility.

Disappeared into the night.

Sneak into the distance and continue stealing the magic of the corpse witch.

As for those corpse witches who have been drained of their magical power, they have lost the energy to release the "cloud of death", and can only use a small dagger to defend themselves.

combat effectiveness, degraded to the level of inferior ghouls.

Rumble!

Alan raised his hand and fired a "Shaping Expansion Moonlight Cannon"!

The cone-shaped spread of the moonlight wave directly wiped out all the corpse witches within one hundred and twenty meters in front!

Totem Beamon jumped up with a roar.

The volley fell in the air, like a human meteorite, smashing into the pile of people, crushing a large piece of corpse witch.

The Flesh Golem also rushed towards the Corpse Witch under Allen's remote control.

Golems are naturally highly resistant to magic and are immune to most necromantic attacks.

Against the clouds of death, he rushed into the crowd and knocked down a corpse witch with a single punch.

On the high ground, William and Spencer saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly opened the "arbitrary door" and teleported directly to the melee area.

Sensing the fluctuation of mana, Eren crushed the skull of a corpse witch and turned towards the teleportation site.

"You kid, kill yourself!"

William's seductive face, contorted with anger.

Chanting incantations, necromantic energy gathered in his palm.

Transformed into a swarm of pale beetles, buzzing at Alan.

The 4-ring necromantic magic "Calamity Beetle", which sucks essence blood and feeds back to the caster, is extremely vicious!

Alan didn't want to be close to this group of vampire beetles, so he quickly silently issued a 3-ring "dispersal technique".

Swish!

With a flash of green light, the "Calamity Beetle" was instantly dispelled.

Warlock fighting, the side with higher mental power, the biggest advantage is that it is more sure to disperse the opponent's high-level magic!

At this moment, Allen took full advantage of this.

William's face changed slightly, and he instantly "shifted his position"!

The tall and muscular Spencer took his place.

With his sword in both hands, he roared and charged at Allen.

This guy is both a warlock and a brave warrior.

The greatsword was blessed with necromantic magic, glowing palely.

Alan is also a melee tactician.

Spencer's fierce style of play suited his appetite.

The right hand is infused with the "Steel Crack Rake" to directly block the giant sword that is slashed by the head.

Boom!

In the night sky, sparks are splashing!

Spencer tumbled and fell, and the greatsword fell to the ground.

The broad and thick blade of the silver refining sword has already broken!

Allen's right arm was almost cut off.

There was only a layer of flesh left, interspersed with trembling broken arms.

Spencer spat blood and struggled to get up.

Seeing Allen's broken arm, a touch of happiness appeared in his eyes!

However, he rejoiced too soon.

Bleeding from a broken arm is rare.

There was no painful look on Alan's face.

"A sword cut off my arm, and the strength is still passable."

The tone of understatement, as if it was not himself who had broken his arm.

Alan freed his left hand, grabbed his right arm, and pressed it against the stubble.

Flesh and blood fuse, and heal in an instant.

Alan moved his right hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"Damn! Forget that this guy is an ogre wizard and is born with a regenerative physique! ”

Angry Spencer, come forward and return to his ancestors!

The rapidly expanding flesh directly burst the armor and stretched out its dark and shiny wings.

In the blink of an eye, the bald man turned into a black-feathered giant bird, his eyes scarlet as blood.

Dead vulture, this is Spencer's fifth-order atavistic form!

Atavistic Spencer, hovering above Allen's head, looking for a moment to dive and attack.

On the other side, William also opened the fifth-order atavism, turning into a blood-stained humanoid skeleton.

Covered in muscles, most of them have withered.

Only the blood vessels and the heart are malformed!

The blood vessels were like thick red worms, winding and coiling against the bones.

As the heart beat in the chest, the blood vessels trembled slightly, squeezing the blood one by one.

"Blood Soul Corpse", a special kind of corpse demon, is William's atavistic form.

Seeing this, Alan frowned.

Necromancer atavism, are they all such ugly criticism?!

In contrast, the ogre calls himself a pretty boy, and he is simply not too modest.

Atavistic William, slowly raised his hands.

The veins in the wrist are like small snakes burrowing out of the skin.

With a poof, he squirted two streams of fishy blood at Allen!

Eren had never seen such a strange way of attacking!

But it's not hard to guess that the blood is highly poisonous, and it contains cold negative energy, with a devastating curse attached!

Even if he had the "soft bone and flesh armor" to protect his body, he would not dare to resist this strange and vicious blood.

Raise your hand to trigger the dragon claw, intending to open the repulsive field to block the oncoming poisonous blood.

At this moment, the body suddenly trembled inexplicably.

Flesh and blood turned into an illusory spirit!

Just avoid the poisonous blood splatter!

Eren himself can't instantaneously transform the spell of the spirit!

In a blink of an eye, it occurred to me that nine times out of ten it was Baiara who was doing a ghost!

Use your own body as an anchor point and cast spells from a distance.

After a few seconds, Eren was back into flesh and blood.

The blood corpse and the dead vulture, pounced on the front at the same time.

Allen's palms triggered the "Vortex Dragon Claw" and "Ice Spirit Palm" respectively, and he was planning to fight these two monsters happily.

Unguarded, strange magic fluctuations appeared in the body!

Swish!

A golden glow radiating from Eren as the center.

It was as if a golden lotus bloomed.

3-ring "Daylight Technique", the nemesis of photophobic necromancy!

The atavistic ancestor William was illuminated by the golden light, and suddenly screamed miserably, as if he had been burned by a raging fire, and the queen retreated.

The atavistic Spencer in the air, in the form of a dead vulture, is not an undead creature.

Although his eyes were stinged by the sudden burst of bright light, he still insisted on diving down.

Alan froze, intending to cast the dragon's claws and slam into the dead vultures.

However......

Lady Pet has a different idea.

Use him as an anchor to activate the "Extended Powerful Flame Burst Technique".

Rumble!

Allen's whole person, as if he had turned into a nuclear warhead, suddenly burst out with a strong light!

Within a hundred feet of each other, it was swept away by flames and radiation, and then ravaged by the shockwave of the explosion.

Billowing black smoke rose into the sky like a mushroom cloud.

The dead vulture in mid-air was blown to a bloody pulp, its wings shattered, and its feathers flew all over the sky!

"Baiara! I can do it myself, you don't have to meddle with it! ”

Alan couldn't bear it anymore and let out a roar through the psychic link.

"Sweetheart, why are you throwing such a tantrum out?"

In my mind, there was the grievance of Mrs. Charm.

"What's wrong with people caring about you and helping you kill the enemy?"

"You're like this, it's going to disrupt my fighting rhythm!" Alan patiently explained.

"Huh...... Sweetheart, you don't need to fight hard, just be my spell relay station. ”

"Instead of fighting and killing on the battlefield, you might as well save your precious energy and work hard at night."

Alan gritted his teeth, endured the fire, and stopped making a sound.

This kind of behavior of Baiara, even if it is out of kindness, is too disrespectful!

Eren couldn't afford to provoke this big witch now, so he vented his anger on the enemy in front of him.

Spencer, who has been crippled by the bombing, still maintains his atavistic form.

The bloody wound was slowly turning black.

Up and down his body, he exuded a strong breath of negative energy.

The Dead Vulture has a magical property.

When you are dying, the negative energy stored in your body explodes, and the dead body is automatically transformed into a zombie form.

Alan didn't bother to wait for him to complete the necromantic transformation, as soon as he raised his hand, the swirl in his palm rotated, and he sucked it directly!

The cold air swirled in his left hand, and a "Ice Spirit Palm" slapped on the atavistic Spencer's body, instantly blasting it into flesh and blood ice slag!

Atavistic William, seeing this brutal scene in the distance, trembled with fright!

Hurriedly take out the rune stone and chant a spell to summon the bone dragon!

On the battlefield, a blood-colored array appeared.

The hideous figure of the bone dragon slowly appeared.

William was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when his face changed suddenly.

The bone dragon has indeed teleported over.

However, only a broken body remained, slumped on the ground, as if cramped.

Wait a minute...... How come there is no head?

Where's the head of the bone dragon?!

"Huh...... Are you looking for this? ”

Suddenly there was a woman's laughter behind her.

Spencer looked back in shock!

Dressed in a white robe, Baiara appeared behind him at some point, carrying a huge skull in her hand.

"You want that, huh? Give it back to you. ”

Mrs. Pet Charm casually threw the bone dragon skull over.

How dare William take it?

Race against time to cast spells, and all you think about is running for your life!

As soon as one foot stepped into the "arbitrary door", the bone dragon's head had already smashed under his feet and exploded.

The golden holy light, mixed with fiery red flames, erupted thinly!

In the last second of being burned to ashes by the "Flame Strike Technique", William's mind was filled with despair and confusion.

He couldn't figure it out.

Why did that white-robed woman who looked like a Sister of the Holy Light appear in the Dark Realm?

As a priesthood who worships light, why did she mix up with Allen, the "human traitor" who colluded with demons, and became a traitor?

With these confusions in mind, William stopped thinking for good.

Through the blazing pillar of flame, Alan looked at the pet lady from afar, his face gloomy.

He won a great victory in this battle and eliminated the undead forces, but his mood was not very good.

Indeed, Baiara was of great help.

The problem is that she helped too much, too much!

Baiara is too strong and always takes matters into her own hands.

Alan also has a strong personality, and he doesn't like the feeling of being eaten to death by this witch!

It's as if she's just a marionette in her hands.

A seven-foot man, how can he be played with by a witch?!

Alan had a hunch that with the arrival of Baiara, the day when the demon mercenary group would be dominated by the enemy was no longer far away.

This also means that there is not much time left for yourself to be a "second devil".

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Alan quickly made a sound decision.

After this meditation, change to an ancestral spirit!

When you get stronger, it's not too late to come back and play with Baiara!

With a heart full of thoughts, Alan ended his meditation.

……

Blood Pool.

Peaceful times passed quietly.

After a year of retreat, Eren was promoted to the late fifth order!

The current stats are: Physique 50, Agility 34, Spirit 56

As the cultivation increases, the venom glands evolve again.

A new ability has been added - Absorb Resistance!

……

Absorption Resistance: Absorb the Essence of the Bloodline to obtain one of the most significant resistances.

……

Absorption resistance, similar to the "virus resistance" that comes with the system.

For the same bloodline essence, it is only effective when it is first absorbed.

Resistance of the same type, which can be accumulated and grown.

For example, Eren absorbs the bloodline essence of a low-level devil and obtains a third-order fire resistance.

Later, after absorbing the bloodline essence of a red dragon, it is possible that the fire resistance will increase to the 4th order, or even higher!

And so on, the more fire-type creature essence you absorb, and the higher the level, the faster Allen's own fire resistance will increase!

This growth law is completely consistent with virus resistance!

Alan even suspects that after the "gluttonous system" combines with the poison glands, it is subtly transforming his body.

It is likely that the new ability of "absorption resistance" has evolved on the basis of "virus resistance".

In addition, Eren has awakened two new spells.

The 4-ring "Detection Technique" allows you to try to detect distant targets by casting spells on crystal balls, mirrors, or calm water.

The maximum detection range of Detective depends on the caster's mental attributes.

However, not all people and things within the detection radius can be seen clearly.

The detection efficiency depends on your familiarity with the reconnaissance target.

The more familiar you are, the easier it is to lock onto your target.

Hearsay, or according to the map, there is a high probability that deviations will occur.

5-ring "Malicious Transfiguration", which permanently transforms a creature into a fragile critter, such as a mouse, chicken, or frog.

The "Frog Prince" in the fairy tale is cursed by the "Malicious Transfiguration".

"Malicious transformation", more vicious than the usual negative state.

However, in order to cast a spell successfully, the conditions are also extremely harsh.

Creatures that are maliciously transformed have two chances to resist.

The first opportunity to examine the physique.

The physical attributes of the recipient are strong enough to exceed the caster's mental attributes, and there is a high probability that they are immune to malicious transformation.

If the physique is not strong enough, the first resistance fails.

There is also a second chance, to examine the spirit.

If the recipient's mental attributes are higher than those of the caster, even if the body is turned into a fragile critter, it can still retain its original memory and spellcasting ability.

After practicing the two newly awakened spells, Eren opened the system page again to check the martial arts fusion prompt he had recently received.

Spawn a total of three.

The first is heavyweight!

"Do you spend 7 potentials to fuse the 3rd Ring 'Vaporized Body', 3rd Ring 'Liquid Alchemy', 5th Order 'Soft Bone Meat Armor' and 6th Order 'Ice Spirit Freezing Wave' to try to deduce the 7th Order Body Refining Secret Method?"

Allen's cultivation has been promoted to the late fifth order.

"Soft Bone Flesh Armor" gradually couldn't keep up with his level needs.

In the meditation world before, being cut off by Spencer with a sword is a dangerous signal!

Of all types of martial arts, Eren values defense the most!

Stack the thickest armor to ensure that the opponent can't hurt a single hair of his own hair, so that he can feel safe.

Allen now stocks a potential of up to 24 points.

Invest 7 points and deduce the 7th-order body refining secret method, a wise choice!

After a short time, Alan received a system prompt.

Didi –

"The 7th-order body refining secret method deduction has been completed, please name it!"

……

Unnamed 7th Order Body Refining Secret Method: Dual Defense of Objects and Demons, the lower limit of breaking defense is a Level 4 enchanted weapon; Cultivators can switch their flesh and blood into gaseous, liquid, or solid state at will.

Gaseous state, equivalent to "vaporized body".

Liquid state, equivalent to the fluid water element.

Solid, flesh crystals like ice, double the hardness and defense, but the texture is hard and brittle, and it is more susceptible to sonic damage.

……

Alan read the introduction and exhaled slowly.

The excitement in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

The double defense of things and demons, and the increase of the lower limit of breaking defense, which is expected, is in line with the normal upgrade logic.

What really surprised him was the transformation of gas, liquid, and solid!

It's not just a matter of strengthening your defenses, it's also about giving rise to all sorts of useful tactics!

In fact, it's not a pure defensive skill anymore!

From the rigid and flexible "soft bone and flesh armor", to the changes in the three states of qi, liquid, and solid, the evolutionary path is traceable, and it is also a qualitative leap!

Alan pondered for a moment, and finally decided to name this magical 7th-order body refining secret method ...... "Three-Phase Phantom Body"!

The next two fusion prompts have similarities and diametrically opposed attributes.

"Do you spend 6 points of potential to fuse the 5th-order 'Vortex Dragon Claw' and the 4-ring 'Fire Wall Technique' to try to deduce the 6th-order fire-based martial arts?"

"Do you spend 6 points of potential to fuse the 5th-order 'Vortex Dragon Claw' and the 5th-order 'Ice Spirit Palm' to try to deduce the 6th-order ice-based martial arts?"

The two new martial arts are based on the "Vortex Dragon Claw", and additionally fuse fire or ice skills.

What does the final product look like?

It's not hard for Alan to guess eight or nine points.

These two martial arts, except for the difference in energy attributes, are likely to have little difference in other performances.

If they all merge together, it will be a waste of potential.

The 6th-order ice martial art already has the "Ice Spirit Freezing Wave".

One more is nothing more than the icing on the cake.

On the contrary, so far, Eren has not learned a single fire-type martial art!

This is definitely a shortcoming, a hidden danger!

In fact, Allen awakened the "Fire Wall Technique" at the beginning, and had high hopes for it, just to use the "Fire Wall Technique" as a springboard to develop a fire-based martial art!

"Vortex Dragon Claw" is the most comfortable martial art he uses.

On top of this, adding the scarce fire attribute can be described as a charcoal in the snow, the best of both worlds.

Invest 6 potential and wait a moment.

The system prompts that it will arrive as scheduled.

Didi –

"The 6th-order fire-based and force-field martial arts have been fused, please name it!"

Fire attribute, from "Wall of Fire".

Force field attribute, inherited from "Dragon's Claw".

All of this was expected by Allen.

With curiosity, continue to check out the detailed descriptions of the new martial arts.
