Outside the city of Qianfa, it was still cold and windy, and the snow was flying. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) The monsters of the deep winter are even hungrier, to the point where they will attack when they see living creatures. But Curt was stress-free, even more relaxed than the last time he took Gordon and Kelly. A large number of magical items protected him, and he could even remain invisible twenty-four hours a day if Curt wanted to.
What really made Curt embark on the journey alone was the call from the psionic world. Curt instinctively felt that he needed to walk alone in the snow, bearing the cold, loneliness, and danger. Psychic abilities are powerful and impossible to acquire without a cost. Curt cleanses his mind in the snow and ice, throwing all his distractions into the eternal and unchanging tundra.
Curt bypassed the molten iron pit and deliberately trudged through the endless snowy fields. He only uses the power of psionic energy to protect himself, relying on psychic abilities to tear apart every monster that dares to attack. Curt overdrew himself more than once, so much so that he had to recover a little spiritual power from his spiritual appearance. His brain felt a tearing pain, and finally the pain transformed into a new psychic ability, and his mind was split.
When Curt arrived at the ogre's tribe, not a single snowflake could fall on him. Carmela, who happened to be returning from hunting, contracted her pupils and immediately pulled the frost giant Bloom on the side to her knees in the snow.
"We've figured it out, Mr. Curt. We are determined to serve you as our master and hope that you will accept us as humble beings. ”
Cameron spoke in a trembling voice, and the ranger's sixth sense told him that Curt had now been reborn like a phoenix in Nirvana. If Cameron in the past thought that he could find an opportunity to bring down Curt with one shot, now he doesn't dare to turn those thoughts around.
Bloom seemed a little unwilling, and he stopped talking. Curt nodded understandingly, and then said indifferently:
"Stand back, now I'm going to kill a high-level necromancer. He can cast at least level 7 spells, so you'd better not get involved. ”
Cameron gasped, he knew that level seven spells were infinitely powerful, and could even kill creatures as powerful as frost giants in an instant. Cameron immediately hid himself in the safest way, digging a snow pit and burying himself in it. Bloom hesitated for a moment, then ran to the back of the hill. Under their watchful eyes, Curt took out a large jar of fire oil and burned the cave where the ogre lived.
Curt stood quietly outside the cave, waiting for the expected arrival of the guests. A few minutes later, a skeleton-like Doyle emerged from the cave. The flames licked at him, but did no harm. Doyle, along with Gardner and Sabina, once bestowed the Elemental Staff on Curt. Now he was applauding admiringly, and said to Curt, who was waiting for him:
"Beautiful! To be fair, you're an absolute genius. ”
"It's over, High Priest of the Dark Sun Church. ”
Curt bowed slightly, which was considered a salute. He raised his hand and rubbed his earrings, and said slowly:
"From the moment you were shot down from the air by my men, but you didn't die, I doubted your identity. The Undead is an amazing spell that allows you to be hit without dying. If its level can be lowered from seven to three, I will definitely try my best to be constant in myself. ”
"How do you know I'll be here now?"
Doyle shrugged noncommittally and asked questions. So Curt smiled back, and he said confidently:
"The straight-line distance between the Ogre Tribe and the Thousand Laws City is more than a hundred kilometers, and there are only two spells that can reach here in an instant. - Advanced teleportation and fire jumping. However, the high-level transmission will make you dizzy, and you will not be able to cast spells immediately, which is basically equivalent to looking for death. So all I can do is light a lot of fires and wait for you. I'm sure you've been following me and have known my actions for a long time. Add to that the fact that the travelers in this wasteland are almost extinct, and only I can make a fire...... Fire Jump allows the caster to travel through flames that are higher than a person...... Look, aren't you here as I expected?"
"Oh, cunning little imp, you really have a set. ”
Doyle looked around, and there was no threat. He thought about it, and then smirked.
"The King of the Dark Sun is too narrow-minded to tolerate a scumbag like you. You seem to think you can single-handedly kill me? Should I praise you or laugh at you? Maybe there's another possibility, you want to make a deal with me. Unfortunately, it was too late. You've made me lose face and ruined my painstakingly arranged plan. You must pay for it with death, Curt. And I assure you, death is only the beginning of tormenting you. ”
After saying that, Doyle suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Curt. He's going to cast a level seven spell, Death Finger. Deathfinger's spell is extremely short and kills the target directly. But Curt's robes burst into an iridescent glow first, forcing Doyle to turn his head away.
In the next second, Curt activated the teleportation earrings. He appeared on the snowy field two hundred meters away, far beyond the killing range of the Death Finger. By the time Doyle confidently teleported to Curt's side, Curt had already pressed the Dharma-Saving Ring to his chest. He activated the magic stored inside and calmed his mind.
For a moment, it was as if a whole block of ice had been stuffed into Curt's mind, dispelling the dizziness and boredom of teleportation. Curt recovered faster than Doyle, then took out a scroll and began to chant. Doyle, who didn't have time to cast a spell to attack, could only endure the discomfort, activate the ring, and release the wall of force contained in it. The invisible force field then unfolded, forming an invisible barrier.
The Wall of Force technique is capable of blocking most attacks, making it a near-perfect defense. But Curt didn't attack, and when the scroll burned out in his hand, a transparent shield with a radius of about three meters quietly took shape.
"Anti-magic field? Are you crazy? Do you think I'm going to fight you hand-to-hand?"
Doyle, relieved, laughed out loud, thinking Curt was stupid. The anti-magic force field is a level 6 spell that is both the pride and pain of the mages. The anti-magic field prevents all spells within its radius from taking effect, and suppresses magic items. It is a testament to the mages' domination and transcendence of the web, which once made the goddess of magic, Mistra, look sideways. But when the warriors had an anti-magic force field, it was all turned upside down. - In the War of the Gods, many mages died at the hands of warriors who had blessed the anti-magic force field.
So Doyle looked at Curt with a smile, and now Curt was no longer able to cast spells or activate magic items. All Doyle needs to do is distance himself from Curt and wait for the anti-magic force field to dissipate. The spell could last for tens of minutes, but Doyle had time.
"Spells are the crutches of the mind, and I admit that spells are powerful, but it is not omnipotent. ”
Curt opened his mouth indifferently and bowed to Doyle, who was sneering. Then a brilliant silver light burst out of Curt's eyes, transforming into a level 3 psychic ability, and space sliding.
Curt arrived in front of Doyle in an instant, enveloping him in the range of an anti-magic force field. When the aura of magic on Doyle's body dimmed instantly, he finally had a look of fear.
"You ......"
Doyle, who was already as weak as a mortal, opened his mouth wide to reveal his shriveled mouth. He saw the light of psionic energy light light up from Curt's eyes again, surging in an unmatched force. Under the pressure of the power of the mind, Doyle snorted. His limbs snapped at the same time, and his chest collapsed. Curt then pressed his hand on Doyle's body, and while disarming the anti-magic force field, he activated the magic ring, releasing the Retarded Touch.
"God......"
A few minutes later, Cameron and Bloom walked out of their hiding place. They saw Curt coming from a distance, dragging Doyle like a dead dog in his right hand. At this moment, Cameron almost wanted to put Curt on the altar. As he shook on his knees, Brom fell to his knees. There is no doubt that the Frost Giants are a proud race. But Bloom has come to understand that Curt is an unrivaled being.
That night, Cameron and Bloom rested in the charred cavern, as Curt had requested. Curt took out a scroll and tore it open, and waited quietly in the bright moonlight. Grand Druid McDonough quietly appeared, coming out of the darkness. Curt bowed deeply, then threw Doyle, who was dragging behind him, at McDonough's feet.
"This is the Necromantic High Mage I promised to dedicate to you, Lord the Grand Druid. ”
Curt respectfully half-knelt on the ground, in exchange for McDonough's satisfied nod. Later, McDonough reached out and pressed it on Doyle's head. As McDonough recited the incantation, Doyle struggled violently. He tried in vain to resist, but in the end his soul was drained.
"Please leave his body to me, I need to use it to pave the way until it lurks by Ioham's side. ”
Curt humbly made his request, which was granted permission by McDonough. After letting McDonough admire the extracted soul for a while, Curt said cautiously:
"Excuse me, what kind of reward will I get, and if I can, I hope to be the backbone of the Spell Overseer Association. ”
"That inferior branch is of little value, Sword of Destiny Curt. So listen up – my reward for you is your own life. If you fail, I'll drain your soul and dedicate it to nature. ”
McDonough replied nonchalantly, he was completely captivated by the soul of a high-level mage of the necromancy. After offering this soul to the Great Oak in the Elven Forest, the ultimate form of the Soul of Nature, McDonough will be even more powerful. He will undoubtedly have the power to challenge the other Great Druids and push for the legendary position. - Lord of Nature, a title coveted by all druids.
"Thank you for your generosity. ”
Curt did not show any dissatisfaction and calmly accepted McDonough's decision. Without a word, Curt ended the vacillation that plagued his heart. He was ready to leave the past behind and accept the present. After completing his revenge on Eoham, Curt can still be a mage.
What? Druids, to hell with them!, Curt roared inwardly.
