Chapter 328: It's a Trap!
ββ¦β¦ Shade? β
Looking at the rag flying in the sky, the philosopher immediately guessed the identity of the other party.
She looked across in amazement.
As a Star Antimony nobleman and a senior demon scholar, she also knows the Dusk Path very well.
The alchemists are now vying for the voice of the demon scholars, while the necromancers remain neutral. Neutrality means maintaining a good relationship with both parties. In this respect, the Necromancer of Star Antimony is the best binder.
After all, the twilight path highlights that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy moves, I will still not move-in short, if I can, I will not move. If you can, it's best to keep your quiet routine without seeing anyone, and never make any changes.
Those who are not afraid of trouble will not be able to be recognized by the Evening Path.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that transcendental beings who only rely on the Dusk Path cannot independently support a faction and rule a country.
Because everybody here doesn't work, they don't work hard, they don't want to be responsible. If there is trouble, no one can stand up at all.
Contrary to this laziness, all the transcendents of the Twilight Path have a very high value - necromancers can resurrect the undead and transform the undead, and preservationists can solidify objects, buildings, and rituals. Therefore, in order not to be overthrown, the transcendents of the Dusk Path can only choose to join other factions. In Star Antimony, the two largest factions are the Demon Scholars and the Alchemists.
In this subordination, demonic scholars and alchemists will gradually learn about the abilities of the transcendent of the Twilight Path.
The philosopher was also surprised by thisβbecause the Yin looked like a necromancer at all times. Whether it is from the code name or temperament, it reveals a cold, stiff and gloomy feeling.
- But this ability is not the ability of a necromancer at all.
This is the ability of the preservator, [Preservation of Remains]!
Act by putting your body into suspended animation, saving it to a safe portable plane, and then manipulating the demonized avatar.
Because of the lack of materials, the traps set by the philosophers are basically triggered by stampedes or tripwires. The Yin Ghost floated straight over, so no traps were triggered.
- Because of this, the philosopher's previous ritual spells did not attack this robe at all. It just floated up and was able to dodge the attack against the ceiling.
What the fuck is there a preservator who names himself the Shadow!
Philosophers almost want to curse.
But she only had one last copy left at hand. Even if she could destroy the stand-in, she wouldn't be able to defeat the Shade after it revealed its true form.
So she directly raised her hands: "I surrender, Shade." I'm Alai and we can work together. β
"βno, you're not Alai."
The Yin Soul said in a pitiful deniation: "Alai is a woman, so he can only be a man in this ceremony. β
Its voice was ghostly, as if it were floating from an empty distance: "I'll give you another chance, who are you." β
"Well, I'm a philosopher. I'm a mage of the path of wisdom, and I can solve all kinds of traps and puzzles, and it doesn't hurt to take me with me. β
The philosopher directly confessed his identity - mainly because he did not have any clothes to wear.
She smiled a little stiffly, and tried to make a friendly gesture: "Look, we're all alone. None of them found their teammates...... If only one of us escapes from here, there is a chance that a special rule will be triggered and it will fail. But if we run away together, we will definitely survive. β
That's what she had said to the Hatter.
At the moment, the lines have hardly changed, but she is confident that it should be fine.
Because the other party didn't know how much mana she still had, and realized that she still had a ritual material on hand. If you fight her in such a narrow place where there is no room to hide, it will only be a lose-lose.
And if everyone survives, even if the task is less and the points fail, at least they will not accept too severe punishment. On the other hand, she's already planted a trap. If no one is able to exit the passage and clear it, the only one who leaves will be defeated by the special rules.
There's no good in killing her, it's risky to fight her, and if you win, you might loseβ
No matter how you think about it, there is no room for rejection of her proposal.
But the Yin Ghost just smiled and gave an answer she didn't expect at all: "What about the materials you were carrying?" Who is he?
"Being able to use 'bull fire' means that the material came from a man. And there are no women among the three of you. β
- What should I do, how should I respond?
The forger is dead, and Janet doesn't know if it's a teammate of the Shade. So should I say that this is the corpse of Alai or the hatter?
The philosopher was silent for a moment.
The Shade did not wait for the answer to the question: "But it doesn't matter who it is. The wise people are treacherous, and I cannot tell the difference between your lies and your conspiracy. So I'm not going to listen to you. β
"Wait, wait, think about what I mean! I meanβ"
"Enough, I don't want to hear it."
The Shadow replied coldly, "Shut up." β
A faint yellow light burned from the black robe.
The premonition of death rises in the philosopher's heartβ
She immediately threw herself to the side. I want to dodge the petrified light like a pistol.
She dodged, but not completely.
The philosopher dodged the petrified light, but the yellow light flashed like a camera's flash. Her movements suddenly slowed down.
She floated in the air, moving block by block as if in slow motion.
- That's the Keeper's Slow Technique!
The moment this spell is released, both eyes must be focused on the opponent's cast point to take effect.
But when......
"No, it's the preservator's sequence-"
The philosopher was suddenly startled, and his heart was stunned.
You're going to give me the sequence?!
The Saver can save a spell of the highest energy level that he can cast in advance, which will be automatically triggered in special situations. By doing this, you can save the spell pool from the previous day to the next day in disguise...... The trigger condition for this spell is obviously "when someone successfully dodges the petrified ray".
Because to dodge the petrified rays, you have to concentrate and stare at each other to dodge. And this will eat the slowness.
- Where did you get the mana to put so many spells!
The philosopher sensed despair.
And just then, a young man's arm poked out of the cloak.
"It's so cute, girl," a flirtatious male voice sounded, "but it's better not to have such a dangerous thing at hand." β
In the horror of the philosopher, the last ritual bag on her body was easily thrown away by the hand.
"I want to taste her, can I? She's so cute. β
The man's voice rang out, as if asking for something.
"No, you can't."
The cold voice of the Yin Soul sounded: "You give me a little restraint, stupid woman. Also, hurry up, I can't stop her for long. β
"Well, well......"
The man said with a smile as he peeked out of the rag cloak. It's like he's been wearing a cloak.
He had a handsome face like the other blood slaves, naked and with protruding muscles. He has short black hair, and his body is full of life, and he does not hide his instincts and desires.
He grabbed the philosopher by the neck and kissed her forehead affectionately under the philosopher's terrified gaze.
"Good night, baby. It's a pity that we're short of time right now. β
He said softly, and the right arm of the philosopher, which was grabbed by him, suddenly bulged extremely abnormal muscles.
The tentacles made of countless blood suddenly pierced out of his right arm and pierced into the philosopher's body.
In pain and fear, the philosopher let out a terrible scream. The man, on the other hand, just laughed heartily and lifted the philosopher up by the neck.
He covered the philosopher's mouth with his other hand, and then a large number of tentacles bulged out from his left hand, directly submerging the philosopher's petite body.
By the time the tentacles had dispersed, all that was left was a sleek skeleton scattered on the ground.
"-Yes, the blood pool has been replenished."
The man patted his stomach heartily: "Do you want to grab her soul?" β
"Stupid woman, this is in the ritual. I can't catch it. β
The ghost's voice was vague: "I'll be back soon after eating, I suddenly don't feel good......"
"Oh, I feel it too. There are two women's heartbeats, one healthy and one weak. They've been watching from the side for a long time. β
The man looked into the shadows not far away and grinned confidently, "But I don't think I need to run away, Shade." It's my home β I have the absolute advantage, they're not as good as me.
"You are...... Ban and strangers? Is it to avenge his companions? You're too late. β
"I'm sorry."
Evas's fluttering voice came from the shadows, "You've mistaken someone, Miss Janet." β
And Bayard's bespectacled, cold and arrogant face appeared after him, making the confident smile on the man's face stagnate.
He felt his heart stop beating.
Why is there a child of the moon waiting behind the secret passage?
"βIt's a trap! Run! β
The Shade shouted.
