Amidst the continuous roar, Herbert's expression gradually changed from ferocious to weird.
As the manipulator of this large-scale magic, he was sure that his attacks were constantly "hitting" the target, but strangely, Xiuge, who was in a dead situation, did not stop his actions at all. On the contrary, he forced his way through
He picked up countless sharp magic spikes and blades formed under the Mother Earth ritual, and broke away from countless palms and claws that tried to grasp and block him.
He even used his own magic power to forcefully break through an earth wall blocking the front.
From a theoretical perspective, these behaviors are indeed feasible.
But as a master in the field of magic, Herbert is certain that taking such action is bound to cause great pain and burden on the mental level, which is completely different from physical pain. A tough guy may be able to withstand endless physical pain.
Torture, but it is difficult to escape from the punishment in the spiritual realm. This is the law throughout Van En!
Even Herbert himself was not sure he could withstand this level of torture.
Under such circumstances, a spellcaster whose magic power stock and spiritual world's tenacity have not reached lake level or river valley level would simply not be able to withstand it for such a long time.
In fact, Herbert's guess and judgment were extremely accurate. Xiuge was indeed suffering pain that ordinary people could not bear. Every time a sharp thorn passed through his atomized body, he felt his body
It was as if a part of him had been gouged out alive. Although in the next moment, these gaps could be filled by the continuous magic power in his body, the continuous reaction they brought was really unbearable.
Tortured by this kind of pain, he couldn't help but curse in his own spiritual world.
Out of instinct, he even used a lot of words that did not belong to Van En.
It was as if those sentences with a strong plosive sound could take his pain away from his body.
However, what Xiuge didn't know was that every time he accepted the "transformation" of ancient creatures in the dream sanctuary and fought with them, the pain he suffered also acted on his spiritual level, and
From the moment he first accepted Charron's Touch, Dream Sanctuary has been constantly challenging the limits of his endurance.
Although this kind of tempering method is extremely rough and carries great risks, the effect it brings is very direct. The tolerance of Xiuge in this aspect has indeed completely exceeded the scope of "ordinary people".
It even goes beyond the scope of most spellcasters among Fan En.
Driven by the desire to survive and the anger against the Black Sun Society, he once again broke through an obstacle blocking the road, and then forced his way out from several sharp spikes that looked like blades.
The moment he successfully broke through the siege, the running rat that had been waiting for a long time was immediately summoned by him, and Snicki did not hesitate to use his tail to roll up his already staggering master, and forcibly fixed it on the
On its own back, it then directly knocked away the two surrounding soil golems with brute force, and let out a loud scream again, causing an instant serious interference to Herbert's ongoing ritual.
But at this moment, a destructive magic that had been brewing for a long time suddenly appeared above Xiuge's body.
The dim magic power formed a translucent dark red sharp blade in the night. The next moment, the sharp blade fell directly towards Xiuge's body and pierced straight into his ribs.
The biggest reason why Merlinle and the Legal Committee set up a "white list" for necromancy magic is that necromancy magic is always inevitably associated with the pain and torture of living beings, and this "Destruction Blade"
It is a lake-level necromancy magic that has long been included in the "banned list".
Corrodes the subject's body and deprives them of their vitality.
The death magic that is injected into the body of the recipient will continue to gnaw at its internal organs and flesh like maggots, and even cause a chain reaction. Together with the endless pain it generates, it will form a plague curse that can spread.
This is one of the most direct and fatal attacks Xiuge has endured since the incident in Salem City.
However, the sting caused by the death magic injected into Shuge's body also stimulated Shuge's spirit at this moment, so following his instinctive action, the magic page with the "Dance of Resonance" imprinted on it immediately fell down.
A large-scale mental shock formed instantly, completely covering the nearby area. In the violent impact, the magic cast by the twin mages lost the supply of magic power, so the magic blade that pierced Xiuge's ribs instantly collapsed.
And those puppets and barriers that were constantly approaching were temporarily stagnant because of this.
"run……"
Xiuge weakly gave an order, and then the running rat immediately used its speed and dexterity to the extreme. Under the cover of a small group of magic rats, it successfully avoided many obstacles that came one after another, and took advantage of the "resonant dance"
"The magic interference caused by it still existed, and it rushed towards the black forest that was already close at hand.
…
The forest is cooler at night than in the plains.
After officially entering the black forest area, Xiuge could not help but tremble. However, the reason for the trembling was not the cold, but because of weakness and the death magic accumulated in his body.
He now finally knows what it feels like to be "haunted by death."
"Awful……"
Shuge coughed twice. Although he used very little force, in this silent night forest, any slight movement seemed to be magnified without limit, so Shuge could only sigh in a dull voice.
After coughing twice, he stretched out his hand and patted Snitch's back gently, signaling it to slow down.
In this groggy state, his sense of time was somewhat lost.
The important black sun scepter was always in his hand. Even when he was severely injured and escaped with the running rat, he never let go of the scepter.
Because it had been held for so long, the part of the cold cane that came into contact with Xiuge's palm had actually become warm.
Shuge sighed heavily. His metal disc had finally slowed down a little, and the Black Sun Scepter did not send him any information about the members of the Black Sun Society, which somewhat reassured him.
So he put the scepter in his arm, then reached into his pocket and took out his pocket watch. With the help of the magic crystal embedded in the dial, Xiuge barely confirmed the current time - it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
"...You've been running for so long?"
Xiuge weakly stuffed the pocket watch back into his pocket. He really didn't have the energy or the state to carefully calculate and judge his position. Inside his body, the coiled death magic was still causing damage.
For more injuries, he must deal with them immediately, otherwise even if his physical injuries can be healed through the "Walking Forest", he will still have to face the long-term negative effects of death magic.
The wound under his ribs was very deep, and Xiuge could completely feel that near this wound, the vitality in his body was fiercely fighting against the invading death magic from the outside world, and this direct effect on the physical level caused erosion, destruction and constant
The persistent pain caused by the repair made him miserable.
Faced with this situation, the well-informed Ernst family can do nothing. There are basically no mages among them who have dealt with this kind of problem, and no one has ever faced a spellcaster of Herbert's level head-on.
Old General Bernhard has been sighing, and from time to time he will scold the 5th Jäger Regiment as "useless trash", thinking that they should launch a thorough attack on the Black Forest Castle as soon as they get the crystal cannon.
Shelling, only in this way can they really gain a chance for Shuge to escape.
Dealing with that troublesome wound required a lot of energy and magic power, so Shuge searched hard for the memories of the Black Forest area in his mind. Soon, he asked Snitch to lead him to find the previously traveling spider.
An abandoned lair left behind.
It was said to be a lair, but it was just a half-collapsed cave buried in a snowdrift. There were even mummified animals and some broken bones that had been drained of their body fluids.
But now, Xiuge couldn't control too much. He quickly dismissed the running rats and released some magic rats to guard and investigate for him. Then he entered the cave and began his own journey to Van En.
The first "magic surgery" after that.
Xiu Ge doesn’t know much about how to remove the magic of death.
Because the number of death magic users is too small and their types have been roughly fixed, Xiuge has never had the opportunity to "practice". Now he can only use the crudest method to solve the problem based on the results of his previous learning.
own current predicament.
The principle is actually very simple.
That is to say, one's own magic power is turned into a "scalpel", which can cut off the magic power of death entangled and staying in the body, and expel it out of the body through the wound.
It sounds simple to say, but when he uses his hands, it reminds Xiuge of the soldiers on the battlefield trying to dig out shrapnel from their bodies.
Fortunately, the magic power of the "Walking Forest" is very similar to the properties of life healing magic. Although every bit of progress in cultivating the character is extremely painful, as long as a small number of hidden dangers are successfully eliminated, they can immediately improve the character.
The injury is repaired.
In this closed and dark collapsed cave, Xiuge just leaned against the wall of the cave. His face became paler than ever before, and his body trembled from time to time due to pain. Every tremor
, a black mist containing a strong aura of death would squeeze out from the wound under his ribs and dissipate into the cave.
Time passed little by little, and as it approached 3:30 in the morning, this long healing work finally came to an end.
Xiuge, who had endured a whole night of torture, was now a little confused, but in this groggy state, there was a slight movement from the group of magic rats scattered outside responsible for investigation.
According to the information fed back by the rats, two groups of people were approaching in their direction at this time.
One group is undoubtedly the followers of the Black Sun Society. According to the information fed back by the Black Sun Scepter, their number has exceeded thirty, and most of them are spell casters.
The information that the rats could detect was limited, and Shuge did not see Herbert or other important figures inside. However, these guys had already searched their area, and as long as they left the cave, they would definitely be noticed.
On the other side, there were soldiers from the Fifth Chasseur Regiment who were searching for them. Judging from the familiar faces of the Ernst family spies among them, Shuge judged that this should be a team specifically looking for him. They were still nearly a thousand miles away.
meters, because the distance was far and both parties chose to search silently, they did not notice each other.
Judging from the number of people, although the team of the Chasseur Regiment has the advantage, the members of this team are all ordinary soldiers, and there is only one mage accompanying the army. In this environment, the Chasseur Regiment team carrying only revolver rifles is destined to have no choice.
Confront a Black Sun Order tracking team full of spellcasters.
At this time, the wounds on his body had basically healed. Although he was still extremely weak, Xiuge still insisted on holding up his body. He tore off a piece of clothing and used magic power to leave a few lines of text on it.
"I'm safe. Don't look for anything. Evacuate the forest quickly."
"To the Major: It is recommended to bombard Black Forest Castle and beware of the rear."
"To Weilin: The research direction is in the right direction, magic is very useful, see you later."
"To Meyer: Beware of Kezlov Beware of Kezlov Beware of Kezlov."
After completing these messages, Shuge immediately called out Jacob, who had been on standby, and tied the cloth with the important message on it: "Excuse me, please send it out for me."
Faced with Shuge's request, Jacob said nothing. It immediately got out of the cave and ran in the direction where it had found the soldiers of the Jaeger Regiment.
At this moment, mages from the Black Sun Society had already searched the vicinity of the abandoned cave, and Xiuge could even hear the slight sound of their footsteps on the snow in the forest.
"Mr. Ernst, I know you are nearby, please show up!"
A female voice with a slight Delan accent came from not far away. Hearing this sentence, Xiuge shook his head helplessly: "It's really troublesome..."
He knew that the female mage from the Earth Society who was at the river valley level or the lake level had already arrived near him. With her around, he would never be able to escape normally in his current situation.
Through the magic connection, Shuge basically confirmed that Jacob had arrived near the members of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment, so he held the Black Sun Scepter tightly, opened the magic book, and turned directly to the last page.
Looking at the silver ring magic pattern on the page and the handwriting below that shimmered with a faint magic light, Xiuge twitched his lips and said, "Dear teacher, you have never tricked me in the past, and I hope you won't do it this time either."
After making up his mind, Xiuge forced himself to cheer up. He pressed his palms on the pages of the book and coughed twice hard at the same time.
The sound of coughing immediately attracted the attention of the Black Sun Society's searchers. Within a few seconds, the rotten wood blocking the entrance to the cave was forcibly removed by magic, and then a dazzling magic light shone in.
After his face was exposed to the enemy's sight, Xiuge decisively injected magic power into the pages. Amid the shouts of surprise from the searchers, the silver ring on the page began to rotate rapidly as if it had gained power, and
At the same time, the metal disc of Shuge also resonated.
Along with the loss of magic power, those memories belonging to Xiuge emerged from his mind, and countless messy pictures were crumpled into a pile, flashing before his eyes like lightning.
The moment "Disordered Tracing" took effect, Shuge said goodbye to the members of the Black Sun Society with a grin on his face.
