The hunchbacked old man in black used his umbrella to block Su Lun's knife.
The two sides immediately pulled away and put some distance between them.
As the old man stepped back, he closed his umbrella and the fingers of his hands changed dizzyingly. Almost at the same time, the magician's seal was condensed.
Just by looking at this reaction, Su Lun knew that this was a difficult opponent.
The old man in black looked at Su Lun directly in front of him, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the backs of Yuta and others in the forest.
The Warlock Seal was instantly formed, and he slapped the ground with one hand: "Psychic Contract Cerberus!"
When Su Lun looked at this guy's warlock seal, he saw that it was not a conventional elemental spell seal, and he was just on guard. But he never expected that it was actually a psychic seal!
Psychics are very rare in the field of alchemists, even rarer than puppet masters.
Usually some ancient contracts are used to sacrifice the best products and exchange them at equal value to obtain certain creatures from other worlds to help in the battle.
As soon as this technique was performed, a black seven-pointed star formation pattern suddenly appeared under the palm of the old man in black.
The formation seemed to open a space channel, and Su Lun immediately felt a strong breath of death coming.
This smell would make others feel dizzy, but he felt very friendly.
"This contract summons a creature from a certain undead plane?"
A thought flashed through Su Lun's mind for a moment.
There was no need for him to guess too much. At this time, after a flash of black light from the psychic formation, five ugly giant dogs with black fire all over their bodies suddenly appeared.
【Cerberus】
Detailed explanation: A third-level hell creature with a meager amount of mythical blood in its body; good at dark fire spells, tracking, and amazing bite power;
Su Lun looked at the headless vicious dogs and knew that they were no threat to him.
This guy obviously wants to chase Yuta and the others.
Sure enough, after the vicious dog barked for a while, it ran into the dense forest.
Su Lun has nothing to worry about. Yuta and the others are not weak, and they will not be in danger for a while.
"This is the foundation of the royal family..."
Su Lun sighed in his heart.
The hunchbacked old man in front of him was not at the same level as the fourth level he met before.
But the other party has means, and his own means are not bad either!
Even when the old man was forming a seal to channel spirits, Su Lun also took out a black and white chessboard.
Who knows what weird abilities the enemy will unleash, and he has no intention of letting anyone escape.
As soon as the light flashed, the two people appeared in the chessboard space.
.......
"Huh..."
The hunchbacked old man felt the changes in the surrounding space and felt light-hearted.
He immediately saw the black umbrella in his hand being raised.
Su Lun was not polite, slashed his ship-cutting knife, and rushed in.
This guy can block a knife, and his melee combat ability is indeed not weak. But at the same level, how can a physical body be compared to a mechanical one?
It would be even better if he could be hacked to death with a mecha, or if he could try out some other means.
But the old man was also extremely decisive. Before the two of them slashed at each other a few times, he knew that even if he was undefeated, he would never be able to break the mechanical armor.
While dodging, Su Lun watched him take out a piece of meat and put it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it, and put it in his mouth.
Su Lun looked at the dark piece of flesh and his eyes twitched.
【Curse Corpse】
Detailed explanation: A piece of rotten meat that is more than three thousand years old. After being specially pickled, it possesses magical power. After taking it, it can greatly increase the affinity of the necromantic system and improve the ability to withstand the backlash of certain necromantic curses;
Being able to swallow a piece of thousand-year-old carrion alive without changing his expression, Su Lun understood why necromancy professionals were not so gregarious.
But if you are cruel to yourself, the results will naturally be excellent.
The old man swallowed the piece of rotten meat, and black air erupted from his body. His aura suddenly changed, and the black air lingered around him, making him look extremely terrifying.
The aura of life in his whole body disappeared in an instant, and he looked like an evil ghost crawling out of the cemetery.
Su Lun immediately guessed what the guy was going to do, and had a thought in his mind that he would gain some insights: "It turns out that this sideways method can be used to avoid the backlash of some curses."
He thought for a moment that if he heard whispers again and couldn't control them, could he use this method to temporarily suppress them?
However, eating carrion... seems a bit unpalatable.
The thought disappeared in a flash.
This guy obviously knew that he couldn't be killed, so he had to use the power of that umbrella.
However, now that he has identified the attributes of the man's leather umbrella, Su Lun is somewhat confident.
He also wanted to try to see if his guess was correct.
If correct, this guy is dead!
........
The hunchbacked old man is decisive, so even if he is suffering the backlash of the curse, he still has to use this trick, so naturally he should not be underestimated.
After this guy ate the piece of meat, the warlock mark in his hand changed rapidly and quickly condensed into a spell that Su Lun had never seen before. He shouted softly: "Reproduction and Undressing!"
At this moment, a pair of blue phosphorus fire suddenly appeared behind him and formed wings, soaring into the air, and his figure became more like a ghost.
Su Lun looked at the breeding suit and twitched his eyes: "Gold quality breeding suit, wings of the ghost species 'Death Phosphorus'?"
This time he really saw how wealthy the Luying royal family was.
This background is simply ridiculous...
He had gone through many death tribulations before he had these forbidden objects.
This guy's cursed objects, breeding equipment, and skills are all so good that he makes people look at him with pink eyes.
This breeding equipment not only increases the movement speed, but also increases the affinity to the undead, making his aura stronger. The attributes of the breeding equipment are very compatible with this guy's ability!
Moreover, the blue phosphorus fire on the wings is also very effective in burning the silk threads condensed by Su Lun's fourth-order law.
At this time, Su Lun's idea of killing the opponent with mechanical armor alone also dissipated.
With these wings, at least he couldn't kill that guy in a short period of time.
The hunchbacked old man used this wingsuit, naturally, to move around and save his life, so that he could perform this and that technique with peace of mind.
Su Lun did not use any big tricks to stop him.
The first is that there is no guarantee that it can be killed.
The second nature is to let him use the warlock.
After all, if you use it, the burden on this guy will be very heavy. Only then will you have the opportunity to kill him.
And that technique, as expected, was of no use to me.
.......
Su Lun's [Colonel Grade Ship-Severing IX-shaped Mechanical War Armor] has a helmet made of excitation alloy, so ordinary mental spells have no effect on him at all.
The hunchbacked old man obviously realized this, so he used the black umbrella so decisively.
Su Lun gave him a chance, and this guy finally used it.
That complex set of warlock seals was formed, and the guy's momentum suddenly increased. A low voice like an evil ghost came out of his mouth, "Dark Realm·Night!"
As soon as this move came out, the huge black and white chess and card space was instantly shrouded in asphalt-like darkness.
Su Lun seemed to be blinded by the night, and his vision suddenly went dark.
Not only was his vision stripped away, but his hearing and touch were also gone. He couldn't even touch his body, as if he was left with a lonely soul thinking wildly.
This is something that makes people instinctive.
Facts have proven that people’s fear will be magnified a hundred times in an absolutely dark environment.
If you stay in that state for a long time, the person's spirit will be out of control until it collapses.
But Su Lun was unusually calm. This feeling was much easier than controlling his negative emotions.
He carefully experienced this general feeling and thought in his heart: "With the help of a cursed object, you can perform a field similar to that which can only be used by seventh-level professionals? Tsk tsk, what a magical technique. Once this move is used, most people will probably open their eyes.
My eyes went dark. If I want to do this on this chessboard space, it would be a perfect match..."
If the five senses are blocked, for most people, they are just lambs to be slaughtered.
But Su Lun has soul perception, and he clearly sensed the fire of the other party's soul, so he didn't panic at all.
But what surprised him was that the soul fire form of the old man opposite had changed from the human form just now to an image with horns on the top of his head and flesh wings behind him.
"Mythological talent, [A-029-Hell Messenger]? No wonder you dare to use this curse to backfire the powerful black umbrella that can be called a forbidden object..."
Su Lun saw the origin of the phantom, but was not surprised.
The population of the Luying Empire is unknown. Even if the A-level talent awakening rate is one in a million, it still has a lot of people.
Moreover, most professionals who have awakened rare talents are under the command of major nobles. It is not surprising that members of the royal family have such A-level and B-level talents.
But if that's all, Sullun Sullun with mechanical armor protection won't be a big problem.
He cannot sense the opponent, cannot attack, and the opponent cannot kill him.
Obviously, the effect of this black umbrella is far more than that.
When darkness fell, Su Lun suddenly heard the screams of ghosts crying and wolves howling next to his ears.
Hearing is obviously blocked, where does this sound come from?
Su Lun immediately understood that this was a spiritual attack from the resentful spirit.
These are the more than 80,000 resentful spirits imprisoned by the human-skinned black umbrella, and they are attacking his spirit.
This made Su Lun feel as if he had fallen into an abyss paved with innocent souls, and the hands of evil spirits wanted to drag his thoughts into the endless abyss.
This is similar to the sonic attack of his [Nightmare Doll].
With range release, even if you don't get hit within a short period of time, the longer the time goes by, the more confused your mind will become, and sooner or later you will fall into a mental breakdown.
What made Su Lun even more curious was that this technique actually penetrated the Vibration Alloy helmet and affected his body?
Tsk tsk...interesting.
"It should be the Black Umbrella's 'Necromancy Penetration' attribute. It's so strong. Doesn't this mean that when I encounter mechanical warriors in the future, I will have a way to kill them even without using the Black Scythe."
Su Lun's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he already regarded the black umbrella as his trophy.
Now, he has roughly figured out the efficacy of this cursed black umbrella.
The temptation is almost over.
Moreover, after the old man opposite used this move, his aura was obviously much weaker.
The consumption of this "Night Realm" seems to be quite large.
If we continue to let this field continue, we can probably drain that hunchbacked old man dry.
But Su Lun himself couldn't hold on until that time.
The mental attacks of those resentful spirits were getting stronger and stronger, and even though he suppressed them, he still felt agitated.
At this time, Su Lun suddenly became serious and planned to give it one last try.
If his guess is correct, it means that he may be able to control this cursed black umbrella!
.......
The hunchbacked old man seemed to see that Su Lun had fallen into the control of [Night], so he walked over with confidence.
Probably because he wanted to see if there were any flaws in this mechanical armor, the old man stuck very close to him.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he saw a phantom with a cloak and a sickle emerging behind the mecha.
It is the shadow of the Death God of the second stage reaper!
"this!!!"
Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man was instantly frightened. It was a kind of fear originating from the depths of his soul.
He is a necromancer and obviously knows many taboos about death. He recognized the origin of this phantom, and his eyes were dull: "Is this... [Death Reaper], or is it the second stage of awakening? This...
How can this be!"
Wraith spirits are just imps. Wouldn’t they tremble when they see the god of death coming?
As soon as the shadow of the God of Death appeared, the tens of thousands of resentful spirits in the night realm were like cats whose tails were stepped on, and each one was so frightened that their hair changed shape.
They were greedy for human breath before, but at this moment they were so frightened that they burrowed back into the black umbrella floating in mid-air, and did not dare to show their heads again.
Su Lun's five senses also recovered instantly.
Seeing that his spell was broken, the hunchbacked old man's face turned red and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
The spell was forcibly broken, and the curse struck back instantly.
And even before he recovered from his mental trance, Su Lun would not give him a chance!
The threads that did not appear before are now overwhelmingly condensed into entities.
"Secret method of controlling silk·caged bird!"
Su Lun has locked onto the opponent for a long time, and once he takes action, it will be a thunderous strike, and he will not give him a chance to escape.
A large number of silk wires were used to control the field, but before they were burned through, the mechanical arm grabbed the neck of the rickety old man like lightning and locked him there like an iron pincer.
There was a "click" sound of bone cracking.
The look of shock on the hunchbacked old man's face had not dissipated before he completely lost his life.
The body sagged and turned into a corpse.
Su Lun looked at the gray mist floating on the corpse in his hand, picked out a few of the ones he was interested in, and swallowed them.
"You peeled off the soul of 'Roxy Rubio' and obtained some 'Dark Law Fragments' and 'Space Law Fragments'"
"You may know some usage details of [Rune Man Leather Umbrella]"
"You have gained the understanding of a specific [Contract Psychic Technique]"
"You have acquired a lot of knowledge about 'necromancy spells' and 'necromancy runes'"
"You have some information: 'Information about the powerful members of the Holy Judgment Legion...'"
"You have obtained some 'Secrets of the Luying Royal Family'"
"Psychic power +6.3"
Su Lun finished digesting the stripped information, his eyes sparkling, "Hey... the people from the Luying royal family really have extraordinary knowledge!"
This guy is the highest-quality fourth-level professional he has peeled off. His solid foundation in law understanding is much better than the half-baked ones he peeled off pirates.
Su Lun's thoughts wandered.
Even though it is a decayed empire, judging from some of the "royal secrets" he uncovered, there are many masters of Luying's level in the Luying royal family.
Moreover, the information he knew was only the tip of the iceberg. The entire empire was a huge and scary "old monster".
"The strength of the Luying royal family should not be underestimated..."
Su Lun sighed in his heart.
And after digesting the memory, he finally understood that Roxy's method was not that simple.
It just happened to be restrained by Su Lun's "Shadow of Death". Otherwise, even if he met a fifth-level professional, this guy would still have good combat power.
This also made Su Lun more convinced that alchemists must be knowledgeable.
It is always right to learn more things, the less likely you are to be restrained.
While he was digesting the memory, two luminous objects slowly condensed on the corpse.
One of them is a crystal skull, a dark-type silver inauguration material. After upgrading, it can greatly increase the ability to comprehend the laws of darkness.
The fourth-level golden breeding equipment [Wings of the Dead Phosphorus] has also been condensed.
If Su Lun didn't have a better choice, the fit between these two materials and his profession would be pretty weak.
Even if it doesn't, it can still be sold at a good price.
Everything is very high-end, which is the biggest reason why this guy can use the black umbrella and withstand the backlash of the curse.
Thinking of the black umbrella, Su Lun glanced at it again.
He held the umbrella in his hand, and a cold and strange breath rushed directly to his forehead.
But it feels strangely intimate.
The death energy on the black umbrella seems to like Su Lun's law of death.
"With this thing in hand, the range of soul perception expands nearly five times!"
Just by taking it, Su Lun noticed the difference and felt happy.
Not to mention other functions of this thing, just this function makes it a highly practical curse for him!
He had tested it just now,
Now that I have it, I can see that with his understanding of the law of release, using this black umbrella, the negative effects of the curse's backlash will be very low!
For Su Lun, this is definitely a cursed object that can be used immediately!
There are also many materials, potions, books and other things in the storage ring.
However, now is not the time to experience it carefully.
Not surprisingly, someone should be chasing me!
Su Lun gathered things and unlocked the chessboard space.
