Chapter 58: Activating Puppets (4000)
Seeing that Leon and Lagaia regarded her as nothing, Teresa's expression became more and more gloomy, and she said coldly: "No one can escape the curse of fate. ”
"Tonight, you're all going to die!"
Teresa grinned and laughed maniacally.
With the sound of laughter, her body began to twitch and spasm, her face was bruised and bruised, and foamy saliva trickled down the corners of her mouth, like that of an epileptic patient.
The black smoke that filled her body suddenly flew up, turning into a badly burned grimace, and the laughter dissipated.
And Teresa was suddenly turned off the power of the robot, and fell to the ground with a pop.
"Teresa!"
Earl Campbell pounced almost with his hands and feet.
He hugged Teresa and found that she was breathing steadily, and it seemed that she had only temporarily fallen asleep before letting out a sigh.
He asked, "Mr. Octavius, Teresa?"
Li Ang shook his head: "It should be no big problem, as long as you deal with the demon behind the scenes, everything can be restored to its original state, and Your Excellency the Earl should take her out of here as soon as possible." In addition, I would like to ask you to evacuate your relatives, servants and guards as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is about to become a battlefield, and my sister and I have no time to take care of you. ”
Earl Campbell only hesitated slightly, and then decisively agreed: "You two must be careful, I will evacuate them away!"
With that, he took Teresa and left.
With a few shouts from Earl Campbell, the bustling footsteps and suppressed panicked conversations soon made their way up the wooden staircase.
Leon also breathed a sigh of relief, as Count Campbell had just walked past him with Teresa in his arms, and he was ready for an attack.
After all, neither he nor Lagaia could detect if the target was puppeted, and it was better not to believe anyone than to be stabbed in the back.
At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed outside the window, reflecting the whole world clearly.
And in this sudden light, Li Ang clearly saw that on the treetops outside the window, countless pale faces loomed.
They seem to be laughing.
A gust of wind blew with the smell of the sea, and the window in Teresa's room was blown open with a thud.
The curtains fluttered in the wind, as if an invisible demon had come out of the gates of hell.
At this time, the sound of rolling thunder was like the suppressed roar of the gods, and it slowly came—it was going to rain.
At the moment when the thunder came, the warning in Li Ang's heart climbed to the peak.
"Be careful!"
Leon let out a loud cry and raised his sword of victory in front of Lagaia.
I saw a black shadow flashing, and two rays of light, one green and one black, lit up instantly.
Those were the two low-order sorcery traps that Lagaia had just laid out—Nature's Binding and Decree Shock.
The two traps suddenly caused the black shadow to fall into a staze, and Li Ang saw the right time and accurately pierced the sword of victory from top to bottom, directly into the black shadow's body.
Then decisively pull horizontally!
This standard weapon, equipped by the Valkyrie Valkyries, is once again unmatched in its sharpness after nearly a thousand years.
Whoa—
Countless pieces and foul-smelling entrails littered the ground, and this monster was a collection of flesh and puppets.
However, Li Ang couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, and a vicious red light shot towards him.
He quickly drew his sword and held it across his chest.
Keng——
Li Ang only felt a tremendous force coming from the Sword of Victory, which directly pressed him against the wall behind him, making a loud noise.
The dark vision had long been turned on by Leon, so although the lampstand in the corridor had long been blown out by the strong wind, he could still clearly see a gecko-like monster lying on the roof.
The red light just now is its tongue!
"What the hell is this? Licker?"
The gecko-like monster was exactly the same as the monster that had just attacked, obviously a freak made of a mixture of many animals, and the licker in a film and television work he had watched, it was similar, but there was a little less bloody nausea, and a little more hideous steel claws.
The wind was blowing.
The sound of windows being smashed came one after another, and it seemed that the same monster had broken into every room.
"Need my help?"
Lagaia was still meticulously arranging the witchcraft traps and defensive circles, but although she seemed calm, her long chestnut hair was already wet with sweat.
Suddenly attacked by a surprise attack, she almost chose to give up the formation just now, and used witchcraft to fight the enemy at the risk of being counterattacked.
But in the end, she still chose to believe in Leon.
"No, you're busy. ”
The corners of Li Ang's mouth curled, and his tone was relaxed.
But in fact, at this time, he was also very anxious, and even the cold wind blowing outside the window couldn't blow away the sweat overflowing from his body.
But both of them knew that they must not add any pressure to each other at this time, and the strength of this puppet demon had far exceeded their expectations.
The sound of rustling sounded.
Soon, the walls and roofs were crawling with such "lickers", and their compound eyes like dragonflies were eyeing each other, but they didn't attack for a while, but just kept roaring, adding a great sense of oppression to the two.
Leon was naturally happy to stall for time, and with every minute of delay, Lagaia was able to lay one more trap.
But he also knew very well that if the enemy did not attack, he must be brewing a more fierce offensive, so he did not dare to relax for a moment.
Bang –
The floor cracked beneath his feet, and a pair of white, stiff hands reached out of it and grabbed Lagaia's ankles.
"Get out of here!"
Leon had expected that Lagaia would be the first target, and the Sword of Victory slashed off, breaking off both arms, revealing a blood-drenched severed section with a distinctly woody texture.
This weapon used by the Valkyrie Valkyrie, even if it is not equipped with any special effects, is still one of the few divine weapons in the world with its own sharpness!
Under its edge, the puppet bodies that could easily resist the fine iron weapon were extremely fragile.
However, in the next moment, countless strong winds struck, and all the lickers stretched out their tongues at the same time, wrapping their tongues around the weapon in Li Ang's hand.
Li Ang tried to slash and slash to exert the unrivaled power of the Sword of Victory, but those lickers were very chicken thieves, and their tongues were like stacked palms, and they forced a hand into the white blade with empty hands!
The strength of a single licker is greater than that of Li Ang, and at this time, when they join forces, Li Ang has no possibility of resisting at all, and the Sword of Victory is immediately dragged out.
"Hahaha, without this weapon, mere low-rank witcher, what are you going to do against my fusion legion!"
The familiar hoarse laughter sounded, and the rich demonic aura quickly spread—the Lord is here!
Li Ang didn't say a word, and the demonic power in his body was like a great river, quickly spreading throughout his body, inspiring the power of the legendary Managarm who chased the stars and the moon.
His body began to twist, and his muscles swelled rapidly......
"Hahaha, what's the matter, are you going to turn into a demon to deal with me?
A sarcastic laugh rang out, but it didn't take long for it to stop abruptly like a duck being choked by the neck.
"How can it be a werewolf, it's supposed to be a dwarf demon, I can't be mistaken?"
The puppeteer's voice rang out in disbelief.
At this moment, Li Ang had already turned into a burly werewolf who stood up, two and a half meters long.
But unlike all known werewolves in this world, his hair is as white as the moon, not at all dirty and ugly like a werewolf, as if he has just come out of an underground tunnel, but has an inexplicable sense of handsomeness and uprightness.
The puppeteer took great pains to knock out his weapon.
I don't know what Li Ang is better at, but this kind of bare-handed fighting!
After incarnating into the body of Managarm, Leon's beast's sense of smell has become more acute, and his sensitivity to demonic powers has also increased significantly.
"Found you!"
Leon's long, narrow wolf snout was wide open, fangs were thick, and there was a disturbing ferocity in it.
The puppet demon suddenly had the illusion of being targeted by a natural enemy.
"No, it can't be. ”
"It should be just an illusion, my body is so well hidden, no matter how sensitive his werewolf's sense of smell is, it is impossible to find me!"
"Damn, he's coming to me!"
Boom –
Hard-hitting, Li Ang actually crashed into a swooping licker.
After his transformation, his combat style has changed from an agile assassin to a warrior with a wide range of gaps.
And with the Instant Hell Technique, his speed is also beyond the reach of these lickers, and the result is - crushing!
But there were still too many lickers, and they didn't care about casualties at all, desperately trying to stop Leon's advance.
"Sister, stop them for me!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lagaia terminated the formation, enduring the pain of interrupting the spell casting, and quickly chanted the spell.
"Slow as a turtle!"
"Weakened!"
"Rapid erosion!"
The speed of the large number of lickers suddenly decreased greatly, as if they had changed from young and strong young men to old men with hidden steps, and they could no longer pose any threat to Li Ang.
In this way, Leon directly broke through the encirclement of the lickers, and smashed his fist into the ceiling, revealing a puppet face that had become distorted by fear.
It seemed to have been burned by fire, and its ugly face of charred black let out a high-pitched cry: "Stop, I order you to stop!"
The invisible thread descended again, trying to turn Leon into its puppet.
However, compared to before his transformation, it was basically two orders of magnitude, and the incomparably surging demonic power exploded instantly, causing Li Ang to pause for only a moment before breaking free.
Without the slightest hesitation, his sharp claws directly took out the puppet demon hidden in the ceiling compartment and tore it to pieces.
The lickers who came in a frenzy fell like rain, and they simply fell into countless puppet fragments and rotting meat.
The materials they themselves are made of quite ordinary, and without their controllers, they also lose the magic that maintains their indestructibility.
The demon hunter stabbed and flipped open.
On the first page, a skill that seems to be smeared with dirty black blood has been added to the skill bar.
You have slain a powerful demon in the middle sequence, and you have the talent "Animate Puppet".
Activated Puppet: Talent Assessment [Grade B]
Description: I can make dead things come alive, and I can also make living things die, everything is in my hands, and on the stage, a wonderful drama has begun.
Puppetization: Inject magic threads into the body of living creatures to make them become puppets that carry out their consciousness within a certain period of time, and you can also pour more magic power to make puppets permanent.
Activate: Temporarily animate a puppet that contains its own mana, the more mana it infuses, the more the puppet will be enhanced, and the stronger the puppet's defined ability and the larger its size, the more baseline mana it will cost to activate it.
(Note: If you make a puppet in the shape of a dragon, you would have only needed ten units of mana to animate it, but if you define it as a dragon with hard scales and the ability to fly and breath dragon breath, it may cost dozens of times more mana to achieve this definition)
You have unlocked a new gear crafting recipe: Anti-Demon Alchemy Bomb [which deals considerable damage to any demon and stuns and knocks back]
Spell Puppet [It allows you to reduce the amount of mana required to animate a puppet and skip the time it takes to master the art of making a puppet].
Sure enough, it's an animated puppet!
This ability Dante emphasized in the teaching of demonology, and it is the core ability of the puppet demon.
Being able to extract it is not because of how lucky Leon is, but because the puppet demon is a typical sequence demon in the riot stream, and its body is quite weak, except for the talent of activating the puppet, there is no other talent at all.
Otherwise, it is to kill the high-sequence demon, and if the face is black enough, it is also possible to extract a very useless talent.
"With a human body, use the power of demons to fight demons, this is the power of witchers?"
Lagaia walked over, reached out and touched Leon's silver-white hair, and couldn't help but bury her side face in it, hugging him tightly.
"It feels so good in the hand and gives it a very warm feeling. Why don't you cut some and make two shawls for me and my mother!"
Leon's eyes widened in disbelief!
Listen, do you speak?
......
On the black sea, strong winds and waves constantly crash against the cliffs near the sea in Syracuse.
On the cliff stands a 20-meter-high lighthouse, which is said to have stood here since the time of the Five Wise Emperors of Rome.
At this moment, the light at the top of the lighthouse is like a candle in the wind in this stormy rain, and it is like a dangerous egg.
The pilot in the lighthouse cursed and sighed, "This ghost weather really looks like the face of the mistress of the priest of Curis, and it changes when it is said." ”
He was suddenly stunned, and suddenly pressed his face against the window.
"God above, what do I see?"
In the midst of this storm, three sloops were cleaving the waves and heading towards the shore.
"In this hellish weather, who still dares to raise the sails?"
He was incredulous.
But the three ships, which looked like Italian merchant ships, still rushed to the shore quickly in the rough seas.
