Chapter 2776 2777, Inheriting the Underground World (Twenty-seven)

Dolangureg Royal City.
Du Naxiangzhuo escaped.
When Sherlock and Melina's "followers" defeated two giant dragoons and prepared to deal with Du Naxiangzhuo, she had disappeared. To be precise, it was when Sherlock pretended that he was just an ordinary mage and evaded all the way.
The dragon cavalry's attack quietly approached the throne, and the moment before they were about to cover her with the "Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers", the one who had been persuading her
The princess who said that the "immortals" had defected seemed to flash like some kind of image that was interrupted due to poor signal, and then disappeared out of thin air.
It seems that he still underestimated the vigilance of these "incarnations of subspace evil gods", or his intuition of danger. Sherlock scattered the eight red and black giant pillars that were about to take shape, with some regret. As long as they can be controlled,
Even if it's only for a short while, it's just simple reasoning, ultraviolet light ring creation, and even methods such as summoning divine guards and holy spears to take turns - although it's not clear how many of them will fail in this world.

"A phantom?" Fried, who was carrying a scythe, was furious: "A rat who hides his head and shows his tail!"
No, that shouldn't be a phantom. After all, Melina personally certified that she was an "incarnation". This shows that Du Naxiangzhuo probably has an ability that is not very strong and can only be discovered when things happen, similar to "danger prediction".
As for the sudden disappearance, it means that she has the ability to freely shuttle between the "world of the abyss" and the "world of fire", and can achieve the effect of "teleportation" to a certain extent.
"Melina?" Sherlock looked at his little witch.
"The 'Incarnation of the Instrument of Desire' can appear next to any of her creations at any time," Melina replied: "The definition of 'creation' includes but is not limited to: making it with your own hands, providing blueprints, providing theories, and witnessing the birth."
The definition is too broad and cannot be captured at all, right?
After all, the entire Dolangurege is using the "soul casting" technology she provided.
"So the 'Temple of the Undead' is?" Sherlock continued to ask. "Unlike the Kingdom of the White King and the Kingdom of Molten Iron, which simply and roughly imprisoned the undead, in Dolanguleg, infected with 'undead'
The cursed 'undead' are a kind of experimental material." It was Fried who explained: "The 'Undead Temple' located underground in the royal city and nominally used to hold and treat undead is essentially a testing ground.
The undead who have become wandering souls will receive 'treatment' there that is not for the purpose of healing, but once
Completely becoming wandering souls, their experiences will be even more miserable than those of their wandering counterparts."
Was it forged into a soul weapon, made into a soul doll, or did the experiment fail and become a shadow with only memory? "After the princess visited the Temple of the Undead, she went to find the Yao Fei and King Pankrad with great excitement.
But he never came back." Fried looked at the scythe in her hand and then looked up at Sherlock: "Now, there is the 'Supreme Mage'
With help, I may have the opportunity to help her fulfill her long-cherished wish - to take off the head of the fallen king." There is no big problem. Even without Du Na Xiangzhuo's deliberate guidance, Sherlock's trip is to eliminate all four fallen kings.
,,But the real purpose is to destroy those "abyss fragments" and "subspace evil gods"
"Incarnation", the "princess" of the kings of the world whose mission is to bewitch fire.
"Take us there." Sherlock said.
Hmm...wait a minute, is this situation somewhat similar to the situation in the past, or in the future, when you were at the "Boundary", defeating the "Fragment King" along the way, collecting "Deathly Hallows Fragments" and then becoming the "Supreme Mage"?
——
Temple of the Immortal.
Cracker - crash -
"[Who am I... who am I... who...]" After clearing a large number of temple priests, automatons, spirit monsters and phantom knights along the way, Sherlock and his party finally arrived at the Temple of the Undead In the deepest part, a room requires a "King's Ring" to open. It looks very big.
It was an empty and solemn room, probably that of a royal tomb. Inside, there was a giant creature that looked the same as a human but was five times larger. It was spinning in the room carrying a giant sword that looked like a door leaf, its blade touching the ground. The sound of dragging and the sound of it talking to itself
Mixed together, it looks extremely weird.
Judging from the old crown and once gorgeous armor on its body, this giant should be Pankelad himself, but for some reason he did not fall to the ground and was weak as Du Na Xiangzhuo said.
"Pankrad...?" Even Fried, who had been in a state of anger after entering the Temple of the Undead, didn't dare to recognize it. It was obviously very different from the "King" she knew.
"[Who am I...]" The giant ignored it.
"Just stay crazy and die!" Fried had no interest in trying to awaken the giant's consciousness, and swung his sickle forward to chop him.
Puff - Stab - Crash - The sickle glowing with black flames struck the vital point, but the giant, who was probably King Pankrad, didn't notice it at all. He continued to circle in a dazed state. Although the struck part made some noise. Correspondingly, there was the sound of being hit by a slash, but it was
There was no specific manifestation, it was as if the harm had been eliminated as soon as it appeared.
At this time, you should ask the omniscient and omnipotent Melina. Sherlock looked at the little witch beside him. "The soul of King Pankrad has established a connection with all the 'test subjects'," Melina took the initiative to explain: "In addition to transferring the damage he suffered to other test subjects, this connection also allows him to directly control them.
But he is unable to control such a large number of souls."
Is this an... enhanced version of the "Imperius Curse" that can be used on multiple people? No wonder Pankrad wants to attack and enslave the giants. They have strong bodies that can deflect more damage, and at the same time they have simple minds and are easier to control. Easy, after making it into a giant puppet or soul weapon, you can operate it
It is also simpler than the creations of ordinary immortal souls.
The only drawback is that it requires extremely high soul strength from the user. Once a mistake is made, the soul will be scattered to all the controlled individuals, causing them to become demented.
Therefore, it makes sense that Hogwarts is extremely cautious and strict in its management of spells involving the mind and soul.
"What's the solution?" Sherlock asked. "Let Fried continue to chop until the injury has nowhere to transfer," Melina replied: "Or, cut off this connection, and Pankrad will be injured normally, but it will Has the combat wisdom of all minions connected to him - including
Including those who were defeated by Fried before." This choice is meaningless to Sherlock and Melina. It is just a difference in the length of time it takes. But logically, this crazy King Pankrad should Let Fried, the former princess's female officer, do it herself
beat.
Let her hit a wooden stake with super thick blood, or have a very challenging battle where the boss knows her moves clearly. There is no need to choose.
