"This matter, you don't have to worry about it, it's better for me to guarantee it. β
The black-robed 'Spirit Sucker' slowly fell, standing quietly on the top of an ancient house, with a wave of his hand, a force pushed away the large piece of rubble in front of him, and between the smoke and dust, the flat stone surface under it was exposed, and then with a wave of his hand, the silver sphere in his hand had disappeared: "I didn't let you work in prison, in exchange, can I ask you to leave this place?"
"Little octopus, is it very bad for you to have such an attitude?" Marilyn narrowed her eyes, and the luster in her red eyes became dangerous: "In order not to return empty-handed this time, I have been a lot more merciful to my subordinates before, do you want to try to see how I go all out?"
Edward did not doubt that she had the ability to do what she said, with the magic amplification of those thousands of clones, focusing the target on one person, the lethality caused by it was absolutely impossible to ignore - and looking around, countless jΓΉ clones had been completely connected into all the nodes of a huge amplification circle, and the huge energy surrounded the bodies of the ** masters, rising and falling.
But Edward only smiled.
Likewise not worried about what Marilyn would choose to do.
Strength is the basis for equal negotiations, and swords are often more intimidating in sheaths than slashed on the other person's body - and magic is more effective before it is used, as the fireworks just now, in fact, it is just a one-way collapse of the balance of power between the two sides, and once it is restored, then as long as you are not a real madman, you will not choose to lose both.
Especially for Marilyn, every doppelganger lost may be costly.
"That's right, losses...... This time, my loss was very severe. Magical items, personnel...... So, make a compensation!"
"We have also lost something. β
"But my loss is even greater!"
"You're the one who started the war, are you going to ignore the fact that you're the one who tries to kick in the door without being invited, and you think we're going to stay here?"
"Of course you're going to stay here, do you think you'll be able to get away with it now?"
"If you're sure you're going to keep me here, then why waste time with me? Did I just undo your legendary magic that surprised you, or did the spatial magic I use give you the illusion that I could run away at will? Don't worry, I'm not ready to abandon this city, after all, an ancient magical city. But it's precious. β
......
Time passes like this, minute by minute. Both sides of the conversation. There seems to be no idea of restraint at all, and precious time is wasted one by one, until the scales of the two hourglasses have passed.
"Little octopus, you are indeed very eloquent...... Sorry, though, for the way you're going to leave. It doesn't seem to work anymore. In the end, the ** division's gaze swept over the surroundings: he sighed softly: "All the space here has been blocked!"
"Ah, it doesn't matter. Actually, Your Excellency, I forgot to sue you, actually...... This, I, have fled...... Just now. β
ββββββββ
"No!"
Thousands of wraths converged into one loud voice...... However, it was only able to make a hollow reverberation in the open underground - in the sight of thousands of pairs of red eyes, the black shadow had already fluctuated, and the silver luster of the astral plane flowed like waves, replacing his body, and finally, the black figure exploded into a day's silver light!
The magic net trembled and rolled up a terrifying energy storm where he had stood, rumbling like thunder, but it could only smash the weathered rocks in vain, sending a cloud of dust scattered in all directions.
The rock mud parted like a narrow passage in front of him, and then closed behind him to form a solid wall, and the distance of more than a hundred feet was fleeting, except for the woman's shout, which still seemed to echo in Edward's ears......
But it only made the Psychic squint his eyes and put a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
What can be done with two hourglass scales, about ten minutes?
Fix all the space around you, prevent that opponent from using any means of teleportation to leave, and let several spells be ready to go, even if that person can use the portal to escape, you can track his tracks and attack?
Or, use the psychic ability to manipulate the divine energy combined with time plus to create a trap at the beginning, and then wave your hand to blast away a cloud of dust and obscure all vision, create a stand-in that idly lies in place, and infiltrate the lair of the lower level of the city's spirit-absorbing monsters, and use Katzeyek's guidance to find his room, take as little as you can take, and then use the special elemental creature to dig a small hole from the ground to the depths, and leave this place of right and wrong by the shortest and least noticeable route......
As it turns out, both can be done.
The Psychic Self-Shaping Ability is ranked at level seven, which is not the most powerful ability, but the clone he created is a genuine mixture of astral energy with a portion of the Manifester's true power. Unlike the illusion in magic, the simulacrum is not the same, and no matter what means you use to probe the doppelganger before the ability ends, you will get a real "Edward" image. What's more, the psychic had already left the impression that 'he would protect the ownership of the city' in Marilyn's thoughts, further blurring the possibility in her mind that the enemy would choose to slip away.
For an arcane spellcaster, this is a loophole in the inertia of the mind, especially for a ** master like Marilyn, guarding against illusion and blocking the space, the enemy will not leave his surveillance - however, not leaving the surveillance, and not being able to escape are still two different concepts.
At the time when the ** division was guarding to the death and paying attention to the present, in fact, her enemy had already left her defensive circle, no matter how furious she tried to find and chase at the moment...... It's already too late, and it's no longer helpful.
Of course. It's not a victory, it's just an end.
"It's over......"
When the body of the earth elemental creature was a few hundred feet into the ground, the blockade of the space by the surrounding magic net finally gradually faded, so he reached out and cut a gap in the space, allowing the silver heaven and earth in the middle to contain him.
The air containing countless silver light fragments in the astral realm flowed into his nose, and then slowly poured out, drawing a thin trajectory in the space, making the psychic warlock sigh softly.
The relaxation after the fierce battle is like a pebble thrown into a pond. Re-turn the pain that has been deposited in every corner of the body...... The slight pain in the skin after being scorched by the flames, the feeling of soreness after the violent movement of the muscles, the dizziness and swelling of the blood vessels after the high operation of the cranial nerves, and the emptiness and fatigue of the great consumption of divine power and soul. At this moment, it seemed that they were all scrambling to emerge on the body. The subtle feeling is like being in an anthill. Even psychic warlocks have a knack for nerve control. I couldn't help but tremble slightly.
A battle like never before.
In the half-hourglass that had just passed, that scene seemed to flow through my mind again...... Or in terms of intensity, it wasn't the biggest matchup Edward had ever experienced, whether it was against Ariel, or against Ziawan Sari, or against Elistra and Guannard. In terms of the use of power, it is far from this battle between mortals.
However, in Edward's perception, the trembling that danced with death was far greater than at any time before.
If it is said. In previous battles, it was just a brush with death, but this time, Edward had already experienced the feeling of being hooked around the neck by the death scythe, and even through the body...... It can be said that it is no longer his own wisdom and strength that can survive, but an extremely lucky coincidence.
β...... It's not that unbearable, is it? Or luck, it's also part of strength, isn't it?"
Taking a few deep breaths of the cool air of the astral plane, he spoke softly.
Truly.
If he didn't have the young body of the Spirit Sucking Monster in his body, he probably wouldn't be able to connect with the mind of the Spirit Sucking Monster's main brain, let alone take that feeling and knowledge into his own at the moment of manifestation, if he didn't have the control of the divine energy, he might not be able to use his spiritual power to drive that ninth-level spiritual energy at the moment of dying and swing the effect to such an extreme......
If the cause of the antecedent, the effect of the moment, and the opportunity for victory are not planted, then the result does not need to be sighed...... After all, dead people don't have the interest to sigh or anything.
Shaking his head slightly, shaking these boring feelings out of his head, he reached out and stuffed the pockets in his hands into his arms.
Those are the takeaways from this battle.
Not a lot, though.
Although he looted all of Katzeyek's collections, Edward didn't get much this time, only a dozen or so good-looking magic artifacts, and the additional magic was also high and low. Because according to the old guy, in the past few months, his main energy has been focused on the restoration of the ancient city magic circle and the cultivation of the main brain of the spirit absorbing monsters, and he has not yet made time to carefully search the corners and corners of the city, so many of the remnants in the city may still be sleeping in the deep secret rooms of various important locations.
After all, the Lich is already a completely different creature from humans, and when you have almost infinite time, eternity will naturally deprive you of something little by little, and isn't it a very normal thing to lose your enthusiasm for things that are not important?
yes, not so important.
In fact, Edward was not incomprehensible to this statement, when he looted in the old lich's collection, he just picked up two good ones from them and hung them on his body, and the others were stuffed into the space bag - when the power reached Katzeyek, and Edward's current level, the requirements for items gradually decreased.
Or rather, to a higher level.
The equipment of those low-ring spells, except for a few that are particularly useful, the rest is meaningless at all. Even though many things seem good, their inferior qualities determine that they are nothing more than chicken ribs when facing opponents with extraordinary strength. For example, a staff that can enhance the power of enchantment by almost half, placed in the mage tower, can almost be regarded as the most expensive commodity, but for Edward now, it is also a sky-high commodity. Ran into an opponent like the Blazing Divine Servant Ireel. Even if the enchantment is increased tenfold, it will not have an effect on the opponent, so the effect of the staff is at most more beautiful than the wooden stick, and it has lost its practical effect at all.
Fortunately, the personal collection of the Eater of Souls is more valuable to Edward, in addition to some psionic information, a star crown, two spirit rods and dozens of psionic stones are not bad, most of them are from the hands of Katzeyek, the selected psionic energy. These are the most useful perks, and they are much more useful for psychic warlocks.
And then there is the thinker himself...... He would make a good assistant, and many things that Edward couldn't do, she could do - for example. There is a need for psionic knowledge, and when necessary. Come forward and do something like murder and overkill. And the biggest effect is that when dealing with some troublesome enemies, he will be a high-end combat force, not only with outstanding ability, but also without the slightest loss even if he dies, such a combination of strong output and strong T. But it's a rare treasure.
However, in order for these things to be realized, Edward had to learn how to control the old lich's life box first.
In fact, when it comes to wealth, the biggest treasure in the magic city should be the city itself.
The defensive circles that build them. If you can get those materials and other things, plus a few mages with good abilities, it's not an extravagant hope to rebuild a magical city like that.
Unfortunately, Edward didn't have that time...... The duration of the psionic clone is very short, even if it is shaped by invoking divine energy, the scale of two or three hourglasses is already the limit, not to mention that it is impossible for him to keep arguing with that ** master for so long - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that Katzeyek's storage zΓ i allowed him to disarm and avoid all kinds of traps in the shortest possible time, the trouble of the entire lower level of those psionic monsters to be dismantled would be enough to keep him busy for half an hour.
As for the circle that splits the entire city...... If you deal with it alone, even if it is just a simple disassembly, it will take at least two months.
Of course, it is not impossible to get some benefits if it is piecemeal, and the city cannot be completely dismantled for a while, and it is not difficult for Edward to get some loot.
But after all, Edward wasn't going to run back and tinker with those things.
He can't let go of things that have a chance, but he won't be nostalgic for things that don't have a chance...... The scene of almost death before the time back, although it is now equivalent to no life, is still deeply engraved in his memory, which makes his fear of death a little deeper, and therefore determines that it is enough to do such a thing as once and a half once and a half at the cost of his own life......
If you don't die, you won't die, this truth is extremely simple, but it is also extremely true.
Marilyn has worked so hard, if she can't get any benefits, it is difficult to guarantee that His Excellency the ** master will not soar...... The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, but if she was really worried about it, maybe there would be some trouble, anyway, Edward had already left her a doppelganger of a thinker, and if he broke it, it should also make this ** master vent the depression in his heart a little?
If it weren't for the attack of His Excellency the ** Division, Edward might still be worried about how to deal with Catezerjek in exchange for some high-level psionic information, and now, these problems have been solved, so even if you give this Your Excellency the ** Master something that he can't use as sweetness, there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it?
Hold on
If it was a few months ago, everything here might have made him really excited for a while, piled together, and it was enough for him to not sleep for a night or two, but now, looking at these things, he just felt a little happy, and more of the excitement came from
"I know you, you're the Edward? Vincent, right? I really didn't expect that that so-called powerful octopus head to be transformed by this guy of yours! Okay, okay, how are you going to compensate me for this loss?"
"I said, Mentor Marilyn, what are you talking about? What octopus head? Is your lunch?"
"Hmph, you don't pretend to be stupid! I tell you, I'm the 9,527th doppelganger of the great Marilyn Mentor, but I'm also a part of her! I'm not much different from her, you can't fool me with this kind of boring disguise! As soon as I return to the main material plane, I can tell you the news immediately."
"You stupid little fellow, are you belittling me? It's only a part, but I'm a part of the great Marilyn! I don't have enough magic now, it's just because the time is too short, a year, as long as I have another year, I can grow into a high-level mage who can cast the Seven Rings spell!"
Or there may be people who wonder that there is something wrong with it, but thankfully, suspicion does not prove anything.
As for fighting, can you Marilyn take a few thousand doppelgangers to an apprentice and get into trouble?
"You ......" (To be continued......
