Chapter Eighty-Five: The Ruthless Man Who Destroys His Soul
"Hmph, ant man, why are you so arrogant."
Exhaling a breath of frozen air, Newint stared at the expressionless Lin Xiao viciously and let out a long howl.
"Kneel down and beg for mercy, I will spare you from death."
By now, Newint is a little angry.
In his opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be able to kill the hateful Shadow Priest in front of him.
Taking someone's life is not in keeping with Newint's style.
What he wants is to make the man in front of him completely submit.
Newint considers himself a lone brave man who rebelled against the Lord God, Augustine.
What he was most disgusted with were the gods who stood up in the sky.
But Lin Xiao gave him the feeling that he was even more arrogant than those nascent gods.
"It's a pity that my knee joint was frozen by you and I can't kneel."
The facts that Lin Xiao expounded after thinking about it seriously completely angered Newnet.
"Then you will die!"
I saw him put his palms together and concentrate all his magic power between his hands.
"Twelfth Rank, Wind and Ice Fusion Magic, 'Frost Sky Dance'!"
This magic is the strongest spell that Newint can use after transforming.
Magic has reached the twelfth level, and has stepped into the realm of the main god.
Being able to unleash the twelfth level of fusion magic alone, Newint does have the ability to rebel against the main god Augustine.
With the body of a mortal who has not yet broken through the upper limit of the first level, he can show a strength that is comparable to that of the main god.
The horror of the God-given trait "gluttony" can be seen.
Thousands of diamond-solid ice blades swept towards Lin Xiao with a fierce wind that was enough to tear the dimension apart.
With this blow, it was a desperate effort for Newint.
He didn't think about how he should complete the second trial after that.
Now he just wants to tear everything in front of him to shreds.
"Are you desperate?"
Looking at the terrifying magic that was roaring towards him, Lin Xiao sighed lightly.
"It's very dangerous to be desperate without leaving a back hand, you will remember it later."
With that, a thick curtain of shadows rose behind him.
"No way, your mana should have run out!"
Newint is a master fighter.
Having access to information at any time during battle is a familiar thing for this beast tamer druid.
He was estimating Lin Xiao's remaining mana value all the time.
Level 99, Elite Title, plus additional Mana Amplification Special Skills.
Taking all possible factors into account, Lin Xiao's magic power should also be consumed to the limit.
"Magic is nothing more than power that comes from the soul, and for me, it is inexhaustible."
Before the words fell, Lin Xiao's right hand waved, and the curtain that spread out from behind him completely enveloped him.
"Tenth Rank Shadow Defense Skill, 'Demon Shadow Veil'!"
As soon as this method came out, tens of thousands of frost wind blades seemed to be blown into a quagmire, leaving only a circle of ripples on the curtain protecting Lin Xiao and disappearing without a trace.
"You...... You madman, you can't have used the 'Soul Destroying Sacrifice' to gain your magic......"
Newint never imagined that the current Lin Xiao could still use the magic of the tenth rank.
According to common sense, an elite spell casting class that has reached level 99 can only use the magic of the tenth rank at most once when the magic power is full.
The only answer that can explain the source of Lin Xiao's magic power is that he used the Shadow Priest's most forbidden professional stunt.
"Soul Destruction"!
This is a class-specific skill that permanently self-destructs souls in exchange for magical power.
It's also an out-and-out life-fighting skill.
In the world of Alpha, character levels reflect the strength of the soul.
Self-destructing the soul will permanently reduce the level cap in addition to the intelligence and mental attributes.
In exchange for enough magic to unleash "Tier 10 Magic", the caster's level cap is estimated to be reduced from level 99 to level 79.
Not only does this mean that the caster's first level cap will be much lower than the others, but it also means that he will no longer be able to obtain the Seed of Godhead, which can only be obtained by reaching level 99.
In other words, once the "soul destruction sacrifice" is used, a person's growth is stopped.
This is definitely a more terrible consequence than death for Newint, who has been pursuing power all his life.
"It seems that it is a bit too reluctant to take on the twelfth rank magic with a tenth-rank magic."
Lin Xiao watched the shadow curtain around him gradually thin, and used the same magic again.
"You...... You're ......."
Newint has been stupid.
If you use the "Soul Destruction Sacrifice" again in exchange for magic power, the upper limit of the level of the person in front of you should only be 59.
In fact, it wasn't that he couldn't understand Lin Xiao's approach.
Between dying instantly and lowering the level cap, I'm afraid many people will choose the latter.
But what Newint doesn't understand is why the man in front of him can do so calmly self-destructing his soul?
Anyway, after paying such a heavy price, the expression on his face should always be a little more painful, right?
He just couldn't figure it out.
The two were at a stalemate for about two minutes, and the duration of "Frost Flurry" finally came to an end.
But Lin Xiao's "Demon Shadow Veil" has not disappeared.
As a tenth-level shadow defense magic, the effect of "Shadow Veil" is not as simple as simply resisting damage.
I saw a demon shadow glowing with black light slowly rising from the curtain and spitting out black gas forward.
The black gas simulated the form of "Frost Sky Flurry", and turned into the same number of shadow blades and scraped towards Newint who was standing in the air.
"Danger!"
At the moment when Newt lost consciousness, Xuanshuang took the initiative to release the merger state with him.
It used its massive body to block in front of Newint, and withstood all the counterattacks of the "Shadow Veil" for him.
"Teacher!"
Xuanshuang, who had been scraped all over by the Shadow Blade, withdrew the beast storage space of the beast tamer druid, and Newint stared at Lin Xiao with a calm expression with blood-red eyes.
"Your Excellency is willing to destroy your soul like this, I am indeed ashamed of myself."
"If you and I stop here, I can hand over Sark and your secret treasure, but this secret treasure of mine cannot be taken away by you."
"How about we take a step back?"
At this moment, Newint has no intention of fighting again, and even his ambition before participating in the second trial has been completely exhausted.
He just wanted to take a secret treasure with him, find a stronghold that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and survived until the end of the trial.
"If you lose, are you qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Lin Xiao's words made the green tendons on Newint's head burst out.
"You've destroyed your soul twice, do you still want to fight us to the death?"
Newint really couldn't understand why the man in front of him was so domineering.
"Fish dead and broken? Not necessarily. ”
Lin Xiao's hand flashed with black light again, and he once again used the "Soul Destruction Sacrifice" in exchange for magic power.
This sacrifice is not his own soul, and of course it is not distressing to use it at all.
"You madman......"
For a moment, Newint even doubted that the "madness" magic that Xuanshuang had used before had not worked.
"Tenth Order Shadow Magic, 'Silent Demon Cloud'!"
With Lin Xiao's low shout, a dark shadow fog as black as a swamp appeared in the sky above the two of them.
Countless black arms spread out of the thick fog and wrapped around Newint's body.
"Ahh
The intense pain destroyed the beast tamer's druid's mind, and it wasn't long before his eyes lost their sparkle.
"Alright, let's stop here."
Looking at Newnet, who had completely succumbed, Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction and withdrew the magic he had just cast.
"You, wait here."
With that, he went back to the cave and pulled the goddess Sifna out.
"What are you doing?"
A bewildered Sifner looked at the Shadow Priest in front of him with some curiosity and Newint, who looked sluggish and had no will to resist at all, with a great bewilderment written on his face.
"My master, I obey your will and have completely defeated this person, as for what should be done with this person, please decide."
"Huh?"
The goddess was stunned at first, and then quickly entered the state.
"Very well, my slave."
She glanced at Lin Xiao proudly, then raised her head and said to Newint, "You two can go, and the secret treasure will stay." ”
"Also, that Infernal Mage must die."
After bluntly reciting the lines that Lin Xiao taught her, the goddess looked at the beast taming druid with a sluggish expression.
Just took away his secret treasure, this person probably won't be able to survive the second trial, right?
She looked at Lin Xiao, who was frostbitten on half of her body, and said pretentiously, "It's better for our two teams to form an alliance." ”
"The treasure belongs to our team, but I can provide you with food."
"Everyone's hurt, so stop messing around."
"It's safe for our two teams to be together, and everyone can pass the trial safely, what do you think?"
After listening to the goddess's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Good fellow, this seems like the first time she's made up her mind, right?"
The corners of the Demon God's mouth couldn't help but smile.
