Chapter 25: Immortal Priest
Immorton's mistake just now was just a moment of carelessness. Only when he started to seriously move his hands now did he show his true ability: the Black Book of the Dead floating in the palm of his hand was obviously made of stone slabs, but it was as thin as paper.
There was no wind and it automatically turned through the past few pages; it had accumulated three thousand years of experience.
For a long time, the dark mana further increased by the "Ten Plagues" ritual stirred the air, blowing his robes and making a hunting sound; and the incantation he was chanting in his mouth was not normal ancient Egyptian, but seemed to be compressed
Several syllables, a language beyond the range of human vocal organs... high-speed divine words!
With the power of "divine words", spells that normally require short chanting can be cast with only one syllable. However, advanced spells that are originally difficult to cast in one-on-one battles due to the complexity and length of the spells require only a short chanting time.
Can also be greatly compressed. Was a high priest
Immorton only "learned" this language theoretically... He knew the technique of each syllable, but he could not sing it with human vocal organs at all. Until he lost his mortal body and transformed into an undead monster, he
Only then did I truly master this skill.
Ye Zi's speed was not bad. He jumped down from the top of the building like a swooping petrel. His long sword was pointed directly at Immorton's left shoulder: it was not aimed at the heart. An undead monster like him, even if
It has a "weakness", and it is unlikely to be the physical "heart" or "brain". Instead, it intends to cut off his left arm, seize the Black Book of the Dead in his hand, and weaken part of his strength!
There was nothing wrong with Ye Zi's judgment. It was just that within half a second before the sword light struck, Immorton had already used two short syllables to complete two spells: the place where Ye Zi's sword touched was no longer his.
His true form is a fragile human being made of sand.
The shape almost collapsed at the first touch and scattered into dust all over the sky, while Immorton's body flew backwards, pulling away a certain distance... No, it was not flying, but the stone bricks under his feet transformed into
The quicksand "carried" him back at an extremely fast speed!
The levels of these two spells themselves are actually not very high, but when used in the situation at hand, they are just right without any wastage. Moreover, when Immorton retreated, the Black Scripture of the Undead in his left hand
Flipping it again, the spell-casting gestures of the right hand changed several times. Almost instantly, two new spells were prepared again!
In the next moment, the human form of sand that Ye Zi defeated began to quickly reunite and solidify, transforming from ordinary gravel to obsidian shining with black and purple luster, and was about to lock Ye Zi's long sword. At the same time, a
A strange "scarab" phantom - far from the real scarab
, on the contrary, it is very "cartoon", resembling the symbol representing "scarab" in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, flying out from the pages of the Black Book of the Dead, almost turning into a black lightning, heading straight towards Ye Zi's direction... From
Judging from the dark energy contained in it, it is probably a rather cruel curse!
"break!"
Zhu Chun gave a cold drink, and Ye Ziyun summoned his magic power to release [Edge]. The sword energy on the long sword in his right hand was horizontal and horizontal. The obsidian formed by the sand and dust was not completely formed, but was re-broken by countless sword lights. At the same time, a brand new sword appeared.
The alloy shield flashed from the "Qingquan" bracelet. She waved the shield with her left hand, just like beating a little strong to death, directly smashing the flying "Scarab" phantom to pieces!
(A negative spell with one or two syllables of "God's Word" may not be effective... This little girl's spell resistance is ridiculously high, and the fantasy beasts are nothing more than that, right!?)
After judging the effect of the spell, Immorton was also secretly a little scared: the "Scarab" phantom he just released was essentially a negative debuff curse spell. Even if the phantom was shattered, about half of it could be retained.
Power. But judging from his energy vision as an extraordinary creature, this black halo was shattered by her own extraordinary aura...in other words, the spell resistance was shattered before it touched Ye Zi's clothes!?
That's right, with the second level of gene lock and BB level bloodline, Ye Zi's life essence is comparable to that of fantasy beasts, and her elf energy can also resist toxins, curses and other effects. Together, the two of them can produce lower-level negative effects.
She can completely withstand the spell, and it will either be lifted within a few tenths of a second, or it will be completely ineffective.
"Wake up, immortal warriors!"
Although he was surprised, Immorton did not stop his movements. While he continued to use the quicksand under his feet to "move around", he turned over the Black Book of the Dead with his mind, letting it stay on the page of "Summoning the Mummy Guards"
Above: Normally, this spell requires
Sand and ashes were used as casting materials, but as a knowledgeable archmage, Immorton obviously knew how to use tricks. He saw that the four fingers of his left palm formed a knife and directly cut off his right arm... His body was an ancient mummy.
, which is an excellent casting material!
Then, he blew gently towards the right arm suspended in mid-air, and the severed arm turned into countless pieces of powder. When the fragments fell to the ground, countless mummy guards sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
"Growing" out of the ground... ten, dozens, hundreds of them immediately surrounded Ye Zi, comparable to the so-called magic of "sowing beans to form an army" in ancient times!
Not only that, while the mummy guards in the front row attacked Ye Zi with their bare hands, sand and dust continued to condense on the mummy guards in the back row, forming pieces of solid obsidian armor, and there were also various weapons in their hands.
A variety of weapons.
"Immortal? What a joke!"
The so-called "immortal" warriors were not Ye Zi's enemies at all. A light cyan sword light flashed past, and several mummy guards were wiped out. Even the armor made of obsidian could not stop them in the slightest. However, with Ye Zi,
In Azusa's current state, except for the "one move" that requires accumulating momentum, he cannot release his sword energy over a long distance, nor can he open a passage with one sword. He can only advance while killing the mummy guards, and is delayed.
took a little time.
And this "little" time was exactly what Immorton needed... His expression became more serious than ever before, and the pattern engraved on the cover of the Black Book of the Dead also glowed with a deep black light for the first time.
He finished chanting the mantra that lasted several sections, and pointed at Ye Zi...'s feet with his regrown right hand!
"quicksand."
"gravity."
"besides…"
As he spoke, Ye Zi's foothold instantly turned into quicksand, sinking up to his ankles. At the same time, dozens of times the gravity was also exerted on Ye Zi's body, and the long sword in his hand became like a ship.
It is as heavy as an anchor. It must be said that Immorton carefully calibrated
The two high-level spells she had prepared cleverly restrained Ye Zi... They targeted the field and would not be exempted from her spell resistance. At the same time, they lost the focus point under their feet, which was very difficult for warriors who could not control the air.
It is quite dangerous!
However, Ye Zi did not have any panic. The light from the magic power bloomed under her feet. Even the falling quicksand was blasted with a large hole by this burst of energy. With this reaction force, she
Carrying dozens of times the gravity, he was about to jump out of the quicksand trap, but... Immorton's set of spells had just begun!
"Come out, Sphinx!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge stone sphinx monster rushed out from behind Immorton: its appearance was earthy yellow, and at first glance, it looked like the famous Sphinx, made of
It is carved from weathered limestone, but from the sound of the ground shaking when it steps on it, the material it is made of is obviously much denser than rock, and even heavier than gold of the same volume.
Moreover, despite its astonishing weight, its speed was not slow. It was running at full speed, like a dump truck with the accelerator stepped on, hitting Ye Zi who had just escaped from the quicksand trap and was unable to dodge...
This caused the latter to vomit blood and fly backwards, and was knocked directly into a building behind him.
"Fossils are sand."
Immorton was well aware of the limitations of the Sphinx. It was not strong in strength and speed, but it lacked a bit of dexterity. The blow just now was probably not enough to kill Ye Zi, so...he used the pinch in his hand.
For the fourth spell, he held his right hand towards the building that Sphinx and Ye Zi crashed into!
The next second, the entire stone building began to tremble and collapse. In the blink of an eye, it collapsed into countless gravels, and the gravels turned into huge whirlpools, enveloping and swallowing everything in the building, like
Like a huge mouth of an abyss, it was about to swallow them deep into the ground, and then crush them into powder under the heavy pressure!
After releasing this series of spells, even with Immorton's cultivation, there was a brief emptiness in his magic power. He almost forgot the fact that "undead creatures do not need to breathe" and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and right here
