Next chapter
"Monsters?" Arya didn't bother to inquire about Solomon's intentions, and hurriedly asked the panicked maid.
It's not strange that there are any monsters in the wild, but if there are monsters in the city of Lonely Castle, it would be a little strange, because this is a heavily guarded city, and the guards of the Wolfheart Queen family are stationed, and powerful assassins or thieves may not be able to enter and exit at will, can a monster be called a monster by breaking in?
"Yes, and it's right there, right in our house!" the panicked maid's voice trembled.
"I'll take a look. Arya picked up a staff studded with black gems, nodded to Solomon and walked out.
Solomon's expression moved slightly, nodded to Stephen, and then followed.
After Arya walked out, she saw a monster wrecklessly destroying the things in the Lord's Mansion.
The form of this monster looks somewhat close to that of a female, because her body has a curve similar to that of a woman's arms, and even two double-peaked things bulge on her chest, but the whole body seems to have crawled out of the dirt, and the mixed body is a brownish black, and although the body remains in a general humanoid state, every part of the body is constantly wriggling and deforming.
And this monster is unusually tall, about two meters and a half, although the body is constantly deforming itself, but the limbs formed are not injured as long as they touch anything, but the weapons that stab her are broken and cracked.
Not only was she as strong as steel, but she was also swift as the wind, and when Arya came out, a large group of the guards in charge of guarding the Lord's Mansion were already besieging him, including Arya's guard captain Orlando, a high-ranking swordsman.
But a group of people can't help this monster at all, but under the gestures of this monster, people keep dying.
Arya's guard captain Orlando did his best to stop the monster from hurting people, but to no avail, and the monster occasionally fired back at him, and he would be a wolf. As for the others, they were killed in seconds.
And this monster seems to be a little confused, because he seems to be venting and wantoning destruction, as long as you don't chase him to attack, he will give priority to destroying some things in the lord's mansion. Stone statues carved and molded in the house were damaged and shattered.
Even so, hundreds of elite guards and a high-level swordsman besieged each other, but there were seventy or eighty of Arya's people lying on the ground, either dead or wounded.
"Your Excellency. Why did you come out, this monster is very fierce, I have already gone to call for the city defense army, Lord Buhaji will also come, you get out of here. Arya's captain of the guard couldn't help but say anxiously when he saw her appear.
Because this monster is really fierce, these people in front of him plus him can't help it, he is naturally afraid that the monster will target Arya in case of ferocity, although Arya also has the strength of a high-level mage, but for this monster may not be an opponent.
Oh. The monster roared suddenly, and the stone statues, rockeries, and trees that were decorated in the mansion near him had been destroyed by her, and she finally began to pay attention to the guards and guard captains who had been chasing her.
Everyone felt a flower in front of them, and the monster's claw-like hand waved, and two guards had blood splattered on their necks and their bodies went limp.
This made the others feel a chill in their hearts, most of the soldiers in Skyrim Province were Nords, and the cold forged their strong bodies and tenacious will, and their physical qualities surpassed those of the ordinary Beesda Terrans, so they were the best source of soldiers in the Terrans. With a little training, you can reach the level equivalent of a second-order creature, and if you pair it with the right equipment, your combat effectiveness will be even higher.
The guards here are Arya's guards, and they are of a better level. But under the hands of this monster, there is no power to fight back.
But what was even more frightening was that after the monster had killed the two soldiers, it suddenly grinned and spat out a series of clear incantations.
This voice made Arya suddenly change color, because others may not have reacted so quickly, but as a necromancer, she knew that this spell was a nether prayer unique to the necromantic system. The function is to transform the creature that has just been killed into an undead creature that is under its own control.
"Disperse, you guys don't deal with her anymore, let me and Orlando come. Arya snapped.
Before she could finish her words, the Nether Prayer had already taken effect, and the two guards, who were obviously dead, trembled and stood up again, their heads tilted to the side visibly, but they raised their weapons and slashed at their former comrades.
"Necromancer?" Orlando couldn't help but be taken aback, this monster's ferocious strength and swift speed had already made him completely unable to parry, and he didn't expect that the other party still knew necromantic spells.
"Don't. Suddenly Solomon stepped forward and took Ellie.
Arya was taken aback, and then said anxiously: "Why stop me, Orlando alone can't stop them, and neither can the soldiers, she should have been a necromancer in her lifetime, and now she can still transform the people she kills into necromancers, only I can stop her." ”
"You can't stop her, because when it comes to necromancy, you're certainly no match for her. Solomon shook his head.
As the two spoke, several more soldiers died at the hands of the monster, and she turned them into undead.
"No!" Arya was about to break free of Solomon when Solomon's words behind her stunned.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be difficult for you to stop her, you can try to go up and call her name, if I'm not mistaken, she's the Wolfheart Queen Potmar. Solomon said.
"Queen of the Wolfheart?" Arya was stunned, there was no more absurd answer, but if you think about it, it is really a little possible.
Because the wolf-hearted queen Portmar was both a swift female fighter type warrior during her lifetime, her family's best thing is martial arts, but the family's powerful martial arts only pushed her to the peak of high-level warriors, and later Portmar had another adventure and became a terrifying necromancer.
The undead are in any orderly plane and belong to the buggy existence that is contrary to the existing order, so in most planes they are a symbol of evil.
In the Bethesda plane, it was no exception, but after the Wolf Heart Queen became a legendary necromancer, she almost became the most difficult of the few legendary powerhouses at that time, and her appearance not only pushed the family to the top position in the Skyrim Province, but also personally conquered the Lonely Castle and became the new lord to this day.
However, she later ambitiously intervened in the struggle for the throne of the Septin Empire, and was defeated and died.
It is precisely because of Queen Wolfheart that Portmar's family and descendants, and even Fort Solitude, both scruples and alienation of the Maider Empire.
Portmar's death was also kept secret. It is said that among the people who helped the prince defeat Portmar's side in the first place, there were several high priests with the Holy Spirit, that is, such priests of similar status to Lula, and more than one participated. and cooperate with other strong people to make Portmar die.
And now, Solomon told Arya that the monster in front of him was Potmar.
"You can try calling her by name, maybe to get her to stop. Solomon said.
Arya wasn't convinced. But the situation in front of him is a bit dangerous, although this monster is only one person, but it is extremely difficult, it is difficult to deal with not to mention, it has even mastered the undead spell, if it is only with the captain of the guard Orlando, it may not be able to subdue her, maybe only wait until the swordsman commander in the city, Buhaji, also arrives, he is an old courtier, and he is also a quasi-legendary swordsman. The combination of the strength of the three of them and the captain of the guard can destroy her, so that this monster will not wake up and rush out of the lord's mansion to cause even greater disaster.
Buhaji hadn't arrived yet, and Arya and Orlando might not be sure, so Arya gritted her teeth and had to give it a try.
She calmed down for a moment, stepped forward with a black gem staff, and said in a loud voice: "Who are you? I am a descendant of the Wolfheart Queen Portmar, this is the territory of the Portmar family, and I will never allow you to destroy it here!"
The monster slowed down when he heard her words. Stopped, and then just stood there and froze.
"Portmar, Portmar. The monster's body was still changing, but she seemed to be in some kind of confusion. Pondering, reciting Portmar's name.
Solomon quietly walked up to Arya, Arya looked at Solomon in disbelief, Solomon nodded, "She is Portmar, the Queen of the Wolfheart, Portmar, but she is not Portmar." ”
"What the hell is going on?" asked Arya.
"She senses your blood now. That's why your words can do something for her, but she's not the real Potmar, she's just a Nefarem bound by the eternal battlefield. Solomon sighed.
"Nefarem?What is Nefarem?What is the Eternal Battlefield?" said Arya, puzzled.
"The Beesda plane is becoming an eternal battlefield, because of the invasion of purgatory and the celestial realm, plus the Keos plane from which I come also maintains a certain connection with the Beesda plane, and the laws of several powerful planes conflict with each other here. The influence makes Bethesda change every day, and you should also feel this change, and eventually this place will become a part of a huge battlefield, this is the Arret battlefield, also known as the eternal battlefield, as for Nefarim, in the plane that forms the eternal battlefield, due to the conflict of the plane laws, the remnants of some powerful creatures that have not completely disappeared will be awakened, and they will be mixed with the overflowing power of the plane law conflict to become an irresolvable resentful spirit type being, which is Nefarem. ”
After listening to Solomon's explanation, Arya turned her gaze to the sluggish monster, "You mean she, she was created by mixing the dead soul of my ancestor Potmar. ”
"So to speak, she is both Potter and Potterma, but she is a Nefarem, she has a lot of Potmar's abilities, but her mind is not complete, and the eternal battlefield is gradually forming, so her creation is now also in a state of instability. Solomon said.
"And what should I do?" Arya blurted out, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
But she has a part of Potmar, not to destroy her, but the monster is insane and goes mad like it just now, and I don't know how many people will die at her hands.
"Beautiful lady, I can help her. At this time, Stephen, who was beside Solomon, stepped forward and said, "Because the eternal battlefield has not yet been fully formed, although she was born, she is not in a stable form, but as a person who also studies the power of the undead, I can help her."
