Chapter 371 A Sigh (Revised)
Necromancers, a very awkward caster category. They are classified as evil because they often fiddle with corpses and possess terrible spells that can directly kill. To be fair, any wizard has many kinds of spells that can kill people. They are burned to death or slowly suffocate and drown. Is it kinder than instant death after a green light? Moreover, studying the soul is a barrier that every wizard cannot get around on the road to self-improvement. Necromancers just take the lead.
Feiqi also has necromancer spells. The silver seal spell book read at the Ice Peak Fortress is his enlightenment textbook, which has many banned necromancer spells. Later, he learned various spells one after another and collected a complete collection of necromancer effects and spells from Old Man. Through the knowledge he obtained from hell, whether it is the contract demon with "temptation of soul depravity" as the core, the desire demon with "torture and destroying souls" as the main interest, the heart-turning demon with "control and change souls" as the main business, or the deep-scrubbing demon with "conquer and collect souls" as the pursuit of life, they have continuously strengthened Feiqi's ability in necromancer spells. If this is not the case, he would not be able to create a spell like soul echo.
But Feiqi never showed such abilities in Yongli Continent, because he knew very well that the most important work goal of the Thunder Goddess Church was to eliminate those who used the power of the undead.
"A necromancer, I'll leave it to you," Fitch said to Bernard. "I'm happy to help, but I just finished a big battle. Can you give me some rest?"
Bernard nodded, and with him, the two priests who had been with him had shaken off the heavy cloaks on their shoulders, raised the goddess's thunder symbol high, and called out loudly for the holy energy of justice. At the same time, Bernard looked at the lantern on Feich's waist, and before he could ask questions, Feich took the initiative to say:
"Do you know the magic circle of the sacrificial power of the Ice Peak Fortress? I don't want the large number of corpses here to produce the undead phenomenon, so I used the magic circle of the sacrificial power. This is a combination of the lantern and the magic circle of the soul to deal with the wandering souls. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Bernard shook his head and focused again on the short "necromancer". At this time, hundreds of corpses had already stood up again and charged at them with their broken bodies. Corrected and charged at "him". Bernard only turned his head, and Feiqi had "abandoned" him and went directly to the other end of the battlefield with teleportation.
"Kill that necromancer!" Feiqi raised his fist high in the distance to cheer for Bernard.
"I'm not a necromancer!" The short guy roared, and then the number of broken corpses that stood up immediately exceeded 1,000 and continued to grow. They rushed towards Fitch, but several goddess priests, including Bernard, blocked the charge of skeletons and zombies. The powerful holy power formed a pillar of light around their bodies. When the undead hit, they would lose the power to gather together, and would turn into minced meat and minced bones again, scattered all over the ground.
The undead rushed forward, which seemed to be consuming the power of the priests, but in fact, the holy light blessings became stronger and stronger. Feiqi had long anticipated this phenomenon. He had discovered that the function of the surrendering magic circle was to "recharge" the kingdom of God. Purification and guidance of the undead in the way of the goddess would only strengthen her kingdom of God and the power of the magic, rather than consume.
"Every god who has established a kingdom of God needs a soul, and the goddess of truth and wisdom is no exception. But..." Feichi's fingers gently slid over the soul trap lantern at his waist, and then smiled and shook his head: "The next thing may not develop as you think."
A large number of corpses piled up again before the divine light column. The short "necromancer" hit his chest with his fists, and roared angrily: "Raise the constraints of the body and release endless hatred! Come on, my ghost demons!"
A cold winter wind blew, and a leg bone rolled down from the pile of corpses, making a giggle and ridiculous sound. No ghost appeared according to his summons, and no necromancers stood between him and the three goddess priests who were eyeing each other.
No spell can create magical effects out of thin air. To create ghosts, a large number of fresh souls that are forced to escape from their bodies are needed, and such souls are all in Feich's soul trap lantern. From the very beginning, Feich understood the tactics of the necromancer: first use his own necromancer's power to drive the corpse, then wait for "Saint Feich" to initially purify it with the sacred power, and strip away the remaining soul power on the corpse. Finally, gather these free soul powers and transform them into ghost demons. A powerful ghost can directly devour the soul of the living, and the armor cannot defend, and weapons cannot kill. This sleepless monster is a very terrible enemy. Basically, only by spending the same amount of power as those souls can it be cleaned up. He thought this could consume Feich.
Feiqi is a better necromancer than him, not only in hiding his identity, but also in knowledge and spell preparation. In the plan formulated by Feiqi, if it encounters an insurmountable problem and requires a large amount of troops to hold back the situation, he also prepared necromancer spells. The soul trap lantern is not just to enhance his magic power, but also to summon necromancers to collect materials. It was just that the noble coalition did not persist until the moment when Feiqi needed to do so.
"Let the Goddess Church see what its real enemy is! Can the Archbishop's secular power delusion still stand firm when it is threatened by external threats?" Feiqi stared at the two pastors who were walking towards the short enemy from afar and said secretly.
There is no such tactic as skeleton-turning ghosts on Yongli Continent, and this man's stiff accent has increased the suspicion of being a cross-world mercenary. Who is he working for? Is he a mercenary from the Second World or a guy sent by the demon? Feiqi is a little unsure. He even has a guess that this guy is a person from the Second World, and was sent by a blood-colored meteor. However, unless he uses the Creator's Rune, such a guess is difficult to confirm. "Give the church a headache..."
Just as he thought this way, a sudden change occurred. The short guy suddenly grew taller, like a thin bamboo pole, and extended several octopus-like tentacles from his chin. The rich aura of his body suddenly contracted, and in Feichi's perception became almost as tight as real matter, and slammed at the two priests. They were always high in the goddess's holy emblem, and the spell formed by the divine runes was shrouded like a searchlight, maintaining the suppression power, but was defeated in an instant. From the broken "light", a large number of Creator's runes flew everywhere, and the powerful mana fluctuations became clear and easy to identify.
The two priests were stiff. Although they used divine magic to protect themselves, this layer of protection was tightly pressed against the skin under heavy pressure, restricting their movements tightly like a cloak. Then, the tall and thin monster approached the priest, and the tentacles under his neck clinged to it. The heads of the two priests melted like candles and were absorbed like jelly. Fitch frowned at this time, his eyes trembled slightly, and his mind quickly calculated the plan of response.
"Feige Hall," a strange accent came from the mouth covered by tentacles. The big pure black eyes showed excitement on the gray, sticky melting skin, followed by a series of Second World languages based on the Creator's runes: "I came here to see you and then kill you. I almost thought I could not see you."
"You bastard, don't insult the Goddess of Thunder, especially don't use that dirty word!" Fitch shouted in common words, and the accusation obviously aroused Bernard's anger.
"What the hell did he say?" Bernard untied his heavy cloak, revealing the delicate breastplate below. Two silver machetes were placed on both sides of the waist, a long serrated machete with a telescopic handle on the back, and the three weapons had the goddess' holy badge. This guy obviously came for the war, and no matter who his previous battle target was, he now turned into a tentacle head. "Feich, what is this, do you know?"
"I can't say his name!" Feiqi didn't know what the hell is, but he knew that when facing the unknown, he should not hurry up, especially protecting the world is still the duty of the priest of the Goddess of Truth. "He is not a necromancer, but uses the power of the soul. He can absorb fear and other emotions against him, so you'd better not know his name. Pay attention to protecting your soul and don't be confused by him!"
Bernard had already picked up the double machete, and after hearing this, he put them back in place and picked up the long machete with his backhand. He could only hear a few snaps, and the retractable handle was lengthened, and the machete became a long weapon more than two meters. At the same time, the goddess's holy emblem emitted a bright light, penetrated the entire machete, and then transmitted to Bernard, and went up along his arm to the head, forming several circles of halo-like protective masks.
Feiqi narrowed his eyes and observed, gently tapping on the cat-knitting stick with his right hand, secretly casting the magic of detection, but the magic spell will quickly fail as soon as it approaches Bernard, just like there is a force field surrounding him to suppress the spell. If there is no difference in suppressing the spell energy, who will this be prepared for? The answer is self-evident. Feiqi doesn't like this answer, but he doesn't think that this level of means can really threaten himself.
He glanced at the "Tennis Chin" monster and understood his thoughts in an instant: the same contempt and confidence. Feiqi frowned slightly, then drew a circle with his left hand, opened a crack in the space, and directly led to the position of the Hell Knights, and then reached out: "Find the latest Lightning Magic Gun for me, hurry!"
The old version of the magic gun is powered by fire element gemstones, which can adapt to most situations by creating high temperature or cold cores. However, there are many monsters that can resist ice and fire at the same time, which requires continuous innovation. The Lightning Magic Gun is a relatively new design. Kazmuk has invested a lot of effort in it, and Feiqi also gave key designs. There are not many such magic guns in the Knights of Hell, but fortunately, they can always be found as long as they are searched.
When the magic gun was obtained, Bernard had already walked over the pile of corpses and was getting closer and closer to the chin of the tentacles. The long-handled machete in his hand was called "Magic Shark Tooth", which could form a protective force field, suppress all spells within five meters of the holy emblem, and remove most of the already effective spell effects. Even the user of this weapon could not use mana. It is a powerful weapon against the caster, allowing all battles to return from spells to the physical level. Only a strong priest is qualified to use Magic Shark Tooth to exert its power.
But if anyone in this world is most proficient in avoiding melee combat, it is a pure spell caster. The tentacle chin first threw a few spells at Bernard. After confirming that it was invalid, he immediately touched each other's heels, and suddenly accelerated, running away like a cheetah. He tested the approximate range of action of the "Destroy" force field, and then took a safe distance of two times the radius, and directly bypassed Bernard and ran towards Fitch.
"Oh..." Feiqi sighed in disappointment. He expected Bernard to fail, but he didn't expect it to be so ugly. Feiqi inserted the cat-hitting stick aside, stared at the tentacle chin with his eyes, and quickly fiddled with the Lightning Magic Gun with both hands.
"Are you the strongest wizard in this world?" The tentacle chin shouted in the rune language of the Creator's former Lord, and two lightning javelins condensed with both hands as they ran. "Out of respect for you, I will give my all my strength!"
After saying that, two lightning javelins were thrown. They were not the kind of slender, substantial, real javelins that adhered to parabola and aerodynamics, but strange energy spells that would turn and constantly change angles and orientations. Feich raised his right hand, raised his index finger and middle finger and drew a circle in the air, and continued to fiddle with the magic gun with both hands. The two lightnings quickly came to Feich, then narrowly passed by him, and then flew harmlessly into the distance.
The tentacle's chin suddenly stopped, and the membrane-like eyelids blinked a few times from the left and right sides to the middle. "Isn't a hit?"
"I can't hit it, even if they fly back. Yes, I can see what's happening behind me." No matter what Feiqi is busy with, he finally adjusted the magic gun and raised it to aim at the chin of the tentacle. At this time, the sinister lightning javelin returned and rushed towards Feiqi at a faster speed and a quieter state. Then he missed the target again and flew over Feiqi's body. The tentacle javelin caught the javelin with both hands, turned it into two golden energy swords and grabbed it in his hands, staring at Feiqi.
"Space spell?" He made a guess.
Fitch nodded, admitted his means, and then raised his chin: "Your energy sword can break the protection formed by mana, right?"
"Have you seen it?"
"Well, I've seen it, but it's not as strong as you. I'm actually quite curious. What will happen if your energy sword that breaks the effect of mana will be when it comes to his magical protection that suppresses mana?"
"Tsk tsk, I'll try it after I use them to cut your intestines." Tentacles hummed twice and said, "If in the previous diamond array, only you can attack outward in one direction, and others can't hit you. But now you can't do this, right?"
"Yes, that's true. Thank you for your name, but that one is not called a diamond array, but a space kaleidoscope."
"It doesn't matter. A mage's protection is his spell, so a sharp sword that can destroy the spell protection is the best way to kill him."
"It's right, but unfortunately it's only half right." Feiqi took the cat-knitting stick on his back, took half a step back and stood back and back with his feet.
"Feich, it makes no sense to retreat. You can't escape from my tracking. Teleportation will only shorten the distance between us. This is my tip for you."
