Chapter 91: Strength Speaks
Oster silently recited the incantation, and the shadow energy surged around him. Immediately, the edges of the body turned into afterimages, and she threw herself straight at Serena, who was unable to move on the table;
At first, a terrified Serena was a little overjoyed to find that the spell had not hurt her physically. But after a few seconds, every cell and nerve in her body burned and crackled like a raging fire;
[Soul Burn, Spell Level 4, Type Shadow, Restraining Humanoid. 】
The indescribable pain caused Serena to let out a deafening scream, scratching her neck desperately and starting to harm herself. Every second she seemed to die tens of thousands of times, praying that she would rather be cut by a thousand knives than endure this pain.
"Ahhhh It hurts, help! ——”
The screams rang out from afar, and the soldiers standing guard outside the door frequently looked inside and shook their heads.
Inside the house, Oster stopped casting spells for a moment and asked, "Have you thought about it, or don't you say it?" ”
“…… This, this is shadow magic, how can you, as a high-level priest, use the moves of the Dreadlord! ”
Oster certainly knew the effect of this spell, it was the first offensive spell he had encountered in eight hundred since he crossed over; Agent Bainasrezm, the oil madman Solarius, he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
"Nonsense, who do you think I am, didn't you call me a demon first? You don't think I'm a fake. Hold on, the next round is about to begin. ”
"Stop, stop! ——”
Serena doesn't have the blessing of Sashu to break free from spells. Soon, her soul was deeply burned and she was turned into a dead fish, her purple eyes widened, her mouth opened and closed without making a sound, and tears, snot, and saliva trickled down her cheeks;
Whatever Oster asked, she said. Finally, Oster asked for crucial information.
It turned out that the curse code was actually during the Great War, when Medivan, who was still on the side of the Burning Revolutionary Army, removed the rune stone on his right foot representing skill from the Book of Sa and gave it to Gul'dan, the chief scientist of the Orc Rebel Army, who analyzed it.
So it's essentially part of the leader's relics, and it contains quite powerful ancient energy. At the end of World War II, the original curse code was stolen by traitors from the Engineering Bureau, resulting in a large number of dead riders lying on their stomachs, and the orc revolt finally failed.
After the battle, the orc traitor who had stolen the code carried one of the fragments, Steinberg, fled to Northrend, in the north, in an attempt to seek credit and refuge from the Titans, but was chased and killed by Legion agents in the Howling Fjord. But before he died, the traitor unleashed the vicious curse in the code, making the dead near his tomb haunting and inaccessible. Coupled with the tight fighting, the Northern Expedition soon began, and the alliance established a landing site in the fjord, and this piece of debris was difficult to recover, and its whereabouts are unknown.
The other two pieces were hidden in a secret place by the traitors, one of which was Ashya, which was found by the Guardian Medivan. Later, with his eventual rebellion, the fragment was given to the former High Lord of the West, Irurun Tubre, as a relic.
All the Templar-level High Lords were given a relic of their leadership by the Pope, which was supposed to be inlaid with runestones in the empty slots on the giant's torso and limbs in the Book of Sa. Not only for guarding them separately, these legendary treasures that contain ancient magic also give the caretaker great power.
For example, Oster's current ability to detect and copy spells is largely derived from the left-handed runestone "caster" held by Bervar Vortagen. He was defeated and captured at the Battle of the Gate of Damnation, and the Prince of Arthas, who had captured the relic, hastened to deliver it to the secret service team in the south.
And the Great Lord of the Western Regions, Irurun Tubre, soon discovered that compared to the other lords, the relics he had obtained were incomplete, only one-third of the relics of his right foot, the "Skiller". As a result, his strength was weaker than that of the other lords, and in this era when strength was everything, he personally traveled to the north to find the shards of Steinberg after many inquiries. But in the end, he was unable to resist the curse of the password and died in the explosion of the tomb. His position, as well as the Fragment Ashya he held, were inherited by Grian Stallman.
And now Steinberg is here, proving that someone has figured out a way to break the curse of the catacombs. As one of the three fragments, it contains the power to break the spell, and it was made into this large gun. Now that he has been sent to Oster by the holder, it really doesn't take much to get it...... Well, it took a lot of work.
Although it is only one-third, with the ability to activate the immune magic shield, the combat power of the Harvest Golem can be increased by more than one notch.
After mercilessly continuing to torture Serena with psychic spells, Oster learns that activating the Harvest Golem requires activating the code to activate the control program; The entity that created this code was a highly conductive material containing a large amount of source energy, hidden in the fragments of the cursed code. Oster was not sleepy when he heard it, wouldn't this kind of thing be able to charge Sashu, and we would make it ourselves without batteries.
Oster took Serena's big gun, went to the workshop to cut and decompose, took out the inner core, and after scanning, he was just about to synthesize the physical key to open the code, but it was shown in the book;
[False, this is a replica.] The system is not compatible, and the skill permission is required. 】
Oster was shocked, knowing that it was impossible to drop the epic item so easily, it turned out to be a fake. As for the authority of the skill, he already knew that it was the ability brought by the relic of Sashu's right foot;
The problem now is that without the permission of the right foot, the code cannot be activated, and this code is exactly one-third of the relic of the right foot.
This question of whether there is a chicken or an egg first, makes Oster call the heavens and the earth ineffective. The co-author was busy and wasted time.
Fortunately, it is not completely ungained, and the law-breaking spear that replicates Steinberg's ability is still Defia's top technology. Relying on reverse engineering, the workshop soon produced a batch of French hunting rifles, and Oster gave the best of them to the sharpshooter Pullman as a tribute to his previous bravery.
The remaining problem remained how to activate the puppet's control system, and Oster locked himself in the workshop for several days, trying to crack the code using various methods. It occurred to him that in fact, Sa had repeatedly reminded him.
Previously, Oster had deduced that the coordinated action of the elite forces of the Kingdom and the Church may have been ordered by the ruling group of Stormwind.
This was confirmed by information from informants, and a few months earlier, a big man from Stormwind had come to Sentinel Ridge to urge the Supreme Governor of the Western Regions, Field Marshal Grian Stallman, to stabilize the situation in the west as soon as possible. This generalissimo, who has always been on the left and right, and has given priority to preserving his strength and not offending the forces of all parties, finally could not resist the pressure after such a long delay and began to send troops to suppress the resistance. Montenegro, not far from Sentinel Ridge, was the area where the rebels were most active, and they bore the brunt of the killings.
To Oster's great surprise, the so-called informant actually referred to Marisa, who was only 9 years old. No wonder I haven't seen this heel lately.
