Chapter 82 Forbidden Curse: The Celestial Sphere of the Dead!
…
Dragon blood warrior.
This is a special profession that obtains the dragon's gifts, power, resistance or curse through dragon worship, bathing in dragon blood and other rituals.
Within the Dragon Worship Cult, they have a complete process for training dragon-blooded warriors.
This kind of mass-produced dragon-blooded warriors are certainly not as powerful as those heroes who rely on their own strength to fight giant dragons and bathe in dragon blood.
But among ordinary professionals, he is still considered strong.
The dragon-blooded warrior trapped by the vine technique in front of him is very powerful.
He has a professional level of up to LV14, and the dragon wings raised on his shoulder armor mean that he ranks in the second echelon within the Dragon Worship Cult, that is, the dragon wing level.
According to Xiu Yi, the internal hierarchy of members of the Dragon Worship Cult, from bottom to top, are Dragon Claws, Dragon Wings, Dragon Teeth and the most advanced Dragon Soul.
This can be easily recognized by the clothes they wear.
Just as the moon bear was rushing towards him.
Matthew saw circles of black magic light emitting from the dragon wings on both sides of the dragon-blooded warrior's shoulders.
In the blink of an eye, the green vines originally wrapped around his body withered quickly as if their life had been drained.
Coupled with the dragon blood warrior's own resistance, he easily got rid of the trouble of the vine spell.
Facing the menacing moon bear, the dragon-blood warrior did not retreat, but quickly removed a shield equal to his height from behind!
Immediately afterwards, he launched a hedge against Matthew.
boom!
With a muffled sound, the moon bear slapped the shield, and the wooden shield made an unpleasant friction sound. However, the dragon-blood warrior only stumbled back half a step, and then regained his strength faster than the moon bear.
The next second.
The dragon-blood warrior let out a low cry, his muscles bulging, and he pushed back the mud in the swamp.
Poof.
A simple shield hit the moon bear in the chest.
If the moon bear's comprehensive attributes were not much stronger than that of an ordinary brown bear, he would probably fall into a dazed state after receiving this shield attack.
"I didn't expect him to be a shield guardian. It's so rare!"
A trace of regret flashed through Matthew's heart.
But the next moment, he still pounced on them without hesitation. The Moon Bear and the Dragon-Blooded Warrior faced each other head-on for several rounds, but there was still no winner.
At this time, Lumiere and Bobo also raided the four Dragon Worshipers. The group of earth fire dragons howled and spewed out flames that did not distinguish between friend and foe. For a time, the temporary sentry was in chaos.
Matthew always remained calm. He did not lose his mind due to the passionate hand-to-hand combat with the Dragon Blood Warrior, but was always looking for an opportunity.
In the seventh round, Moon Bear pretended not to be outdone and still wanted to repeat his old trick. Naturally, the Dragon-Blooded Warrior had no intention of retreating. He held his shield high and pushed forward. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Moon Bear actually moved forward flexibly.
Roll to the side.
The dragon-blooded warrior's castration was too fierce and missed the loopholes.
Matthew seized the opportunity and slapped him, but the other party was very experienced after all. It may be that he predicted Matthew's attack trajectory. At the moment of lightning, the dragon-blooded warrior just swung his shield horizontally and held it back again.
Matthew's bear paw!
Only this time, he lost his balance so much that he rolled backwards after taking a slap from Matthew.
And in those few seconds while rolling on the ground, the Dragon Blood Warrior exposed a flaw that had never appeared in the past few rounds!
The low-key light of the sword flashed quietly.
The body of the dragon-blooded warrior was still rolling on the ground.
But his dead head was firmly held in the arms of a skeleton wearing a dark red cloak.
Matthew successfully cooperated with A Bing to kill the dragon-blooded warriors, and he did not hesitate to directly attack the group of abnormal earth fire dragons.
A Bing's one-on-one assassination ability is very strong, especially if someone creates a sneak attack environment for him, he can often achieve something every time he takes a shot.
However, when faced with a creature like the Earth Fire Dragon, he ate turtles one after another.
Matthew saw him moving wildly around the Earth Fire Dragon, using his short knife like the wind. He stabbed the Earth Fire Dragon until it howled, and there were wounds all over his body, but he couldn't kill him after a long time of stabbing him.
Even if the poison is quenched on the knife, the Earth Fire Dragon's resistance is extremely high, so this poison will not affect them too much.
On the contrary, Ah Bing must be very careful. Whether it is the fire dragon's flames or his fat body, once he touches Ah Bing, his petite and weak skeleton body will be easily damaged.
After a dozen breaths.
Lumière had easily broken the necks of the four Dragon Worshipers. Judging from the clothes they were wearing after they fell to the ground, it was easy to tell that these people were just cannon fodder at the lowest level, that is, at the Dragon Claw level.
In order to win the battle quickly, Matthew originally planned to transform into a Fengshen pterosaur again and fight with Bobo.
But when things came to an end, he suddenly changed his mind, and the next moment, he gently patted the Miaofa bag.
A sweet-looking ghost appeared in front of him.
"Go and kill them!"
Matthew gave instructions to Ah Piao.
Ah Piao nodded tenderly, and then she flew to the top of the earth fire dragons with a roar.
The ghost floated gently for a few seconds, and her appearance collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the owner Matthew couldn't bear to look at that scene.
The next second.
A sharp cry burst out from A Piao's body.
The cry was sad and sharp, extremely sad, and had a strong spiritual penetration.
Even Lumiere and Bobo were almost affected!
And the few earth fire dragons that were under special care were even worse.
After a round of crying.
All the fire dragons froze on the spot.
Ah Piao, on the other hand, sank down gracefully. In the process, her appearance was also recovering at an extremely fast speed.
But when she saw Miss Ghost passing by an Earth Fire Dragon lightly, with a move of her little hand, the soul of an innocent Earth Fire Dragon was caught in her palm!
…
"Tip: Your summoned object A Piao used the ability "Crying for Life".
The Earth Fire Dragon fails the saving throw (intelligence & perception & will) and collectively enters a state of unconsciousness.
In this state, A'Piao can activate the second stage ability "Ghost Takes Life" of "Cry for Life".
That is, she can directly cross the barrier of the spirit world and take away the soul of the lost person."
…
Ah Piao's movements are very neat.
After a few back and forth, the souls of the seven-headed earth fire dragon were all captured by her.
She obediently brought these souls to Matthew, who immediately took out a bottle usually used to hold pills from his luggage. After emptying the pills, he recited the most basic soul-sealing spell.
The white smoke slowly converged.
soon.
These weak souls were put in bottles by Matthew one after another.
On the ground, the Earth Fire Dragon's body was dying rapidly after losing its soul.
Three minutes later.
They were completely lifeless.
Seeing this scene, the other three people didn't make a fuss. After all, Matthew's public identity has always been that of a necromancer. It would be even weirder if he had been relying on wilderness transformation to win.
"This should be a rear guard post."
Xiu Yi, who could not be found at all during the battle, appeared immediately after the battle.
He diligently searched the area and reported:
"I just found a miniature alarm spell nearby, but the target of the alarm is not a member of the sentry. It seems that Blinken already knows our arrival."
Matthew nodded.
It is unrealistic to track an archmage without the latter knowing about it at all.
If Matthew wants to negotiate with Blinken, he must let him know that he is pursuing him.
Matthew must show a certain degree of strength, otherwise there will be no chance to negotiate with Blinken at all.
"Judging from the hurried manner in which the sentry was set up, it seemed that he was in a hurry to do something and didn't seem to pay attention to us."
Xiuyi speculated:
"If this is the case, then there must be many similar sentries along the way. Their purpose of existence is not necessarily to stop us, but to slow down our pace as much as possible."
Matthew agrees with this statement.
So hurry up and touch the corpse.
It's a pity that the bottom of the Dragon Worship Cult seems to be very poor, so they must have handed over all their money.
Even the Dragon-Blooded Warrior, a "Dragon Wing", only found seven or eight gold coins.
Matthew had no choice but to order the soldiers to remove the robes, belts, underwear, shoes, etc. from these corpses and take them away——
It's not him who is searching.
There are really too many undead to raise in the family cemetery.
Most of them didn't have any decent clothes or equipment, so how could Matthew dare to be extravagant?
The group continued to move forward.
However, the deeper you go into the swamp, the harder it becomes.
In the afternoon, it became even more foggy, and I couldn't see my fingers. Let alone a quick pursuit, I couldn't even tell the direction clearly.
At this time, when walking in the dangerous swamp, you have to be extra worried. If you risk stepping into a pit, it is extremely dangerous - even professionals are at risk of death at any time in the muddy swamp.
Matthew was not in a hurry, he calmed down and called on everyone to move forward slowly.
Due to the heavy fog, the sunlight is greatly weakened, and A Piao has more space for activities.
Ghosts are the most perfect existence in terrain like swamp.
But Ah Piao was seen exploring the road ahead with a light body, pointing out possible mud or traps ahead.
that's all.
Although they walked staggeringly, the group did not lose any trace of the Dragon Worship Cult.
Three hours passed.
They had already penetrated deep into the swamp, and they didn't encounter many undead along the way. They only took down three Dragon Worship Cult's post-break sentries.
The defensive strength of these outposts was stronger than the last, and at the end of the day, the outposts were even equipped with two archers.
If Matthew hadn't had two elite assassins, A Bing and A Piao, these two archers lying on the tree would have really caused them a lot of trouble.
Finally, after a fierce battle.
Only the unlucky Bobo was hit by an arrow in the knee and helmet. Her armor was very protective, but the archers were not mediocre either. The arrows they shot were extremely powerful, causing wounds on Bobo's forehead and knees respectively.
A bruise appeared.
This made the little dwarf so angry that he threatened on the spot that he would blow up the Dragon Cult's nest.
And in these three battles.
The most outstanding performer is undoubtedly the newly hired worker Ah Piao.
The ghost has a semi-invisible state, travels very fast, kills people without blinking an eye, and has two major bugs: immunity to physical damage and a life-threatening cry.
This makes Ah Piao often feel like he is in a deserted place in front of the Dragon Worship Cult's shrimp soldiers and crab generals. After killing several people in and out, he can often completely mess up the opponent's formation.
What follows is naturally a happy harvest time.
See this scene.
Matthew was very happy at first, but soon felt a little pain in his balls.
Although there is an extra powerful worker, Boss Ma's front line is still weak.
Putting aside the zombies and skeletons that are cannon fodder, among the contract summons——
Peggy is a logistics leader who has worked hard for many years, and Matthew is generally unwilling to send her to the battlefield to fight head-on;
Philoleus has certain positive abilities, but he is not knowledgeable enough. He asks for overtime pay every time he appears, which Matthew both loves and hates;
Soldier? Assassin.
Ah Piao? Still an assassin!
Matthew looked around and found that among the brothers, he was the only one who could produce meat!
"I won't fight in the future with me transforming into a moon bear and carrying it in front, while the rest of them will try their best to sneak attack from behind, right?"
His balls ached at the thought of this scenario possibly coming true.
"I am now at the third level. When I go back and learn the spells, I can start learning to make the Black Warrior!"
"From now on, you will never go out without taking seven or eight black warriors with you!"
Having said that, Matthew has gained a lot from these battles.
Not to mention the seizure of a certain amount of money, the task of expelling or killing the Dragon Cult continued. These dead members of the Dragon Cult contributed two new spells to Matthew.
…
"Magic Snare: You can use a string to create a circle with a radius of two meters on the ground or floor.
When you finish casting the spell, the string disappears, turning into an invisible magic trap.
thereafter.
When someone or a creature (no larger than Large) steps into the trap, the rope will automatically fly up, binding him or it tightly. At this time, the target will make a round of agility judgment.
If the target passes the agility check, your magic trap is disabled and the target leaves safely.
If the target fails the agility check, he will be floated into the air and hung upside down until the spell effect ends.
Your "magic trap" currently lasts for 72 hours.
After being triggered, the spell effect will last for 6 minutes (depending on the specific situation of the target)."
…
"Human Immobilization Technique: immobilize any human in your field of vision (the other person needs to make a round of perception judgment). After the immobilization is successful, the effect lasts for up to 2 minutes. During this period, you can do anything to him except attacking.
matter.
Once you attack the immobilized target, the opponent will be freed from the immobilized state.
Note: 4 times a day"
…
Among these two spells, the magic trap can only be said to be quite satisfactory and has certain uses, but the human immobilization spell is too good.
The success rate of this thing is actually not high, but its advantages are its fast casting speed and short spell time. Even without the blessing of metamagic skills, it is also very suitable for lottery draws.
It’s okay if you haven’t settled in yet, but if you do, you’ll get a super gift package!
Although the immobilization technique will be ineffective once the target is attacked, more than two minutes are enough for even a weak and sick mage to pick up the hammer and charge it towards the target's head.
Most mortal beings are bound to die, and ruthless characters who can withstand all kinds of fatal blows will not be bound by the immobilization technique in the first place.
After acquiring two spells, Matthew became very interested and wanted to talk to more Dragon Worshipers.
However, after taking down the fourth sentry post.
There is no one left in the depths of the swamp.
They walked for a full hour, not to mention the Dragon Cultists, not even the undead who were supposed to be wandering in the swamp were seen!
Looking around, there is heavy fog.
Uneasiness spread among the team.
"Something's wrong, it's too quiet. Matthew, I always feel that the footprints on the ground are a bit deliberate. Should we avoid them first?"
The one who spoke was the ace spy Xiu Yi. He looked pale at the moment and had retreated to the back of the team at some point.
Matthew nodded. He was about to order A Piao, who was leading the way ahead, to go back.
Suddenly, they only felt that the light above their heads became darker.
Because of the heavy fog, they became very insensitive to light, but at this moment, it was completely dark!
Everyone felt something was wrong, and they looked up. At this time, a gust of breeze blew by, blowing away some of the fog above their heads.
Matthew raised his head and his eyes suddenly widened. He saw an extremely terrifying thing above his head——
It was a huge ball, as big as a small mountain. It was precisely because it flew slowly over everyone's heads that the light suddenly disappeared.
The shape of the ball was extremely terrifying, and everyone could see clearly that at the very edge of the ball were undead one after another!
Skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and abominations!
I don't know how many undead creatures were gathered together by a strange energy. They struggled and pushed hard, but they couldn't get rid of the attraction coming from the center of the ball!
Even A Bing and A Piao, when the meat ball flew over the heads of a group of people, their bodies flew upward uncontrollably.
Matthew hurriedly increased his mental support, and A Bing hid sideways in the shadow world, while the ghost hurriedly flew into Matthew's luggage.
…
"Warning: Blinken used the fifth-level spell "Forbidden Spell: Sphere of the Dead"!
Celestial Sphere of the Dead: With a carefully crafted negative energy gravitational ball as the core, it provides a powerful negative energy attraction, kneading a large number of undead into a giant ball form.
If the caster has enough mana and mental power, he can use the spell to lift the celestial ball high and push it slowly. Along the way, the celestial ball will attract all nearby undead.
The caster can throw the celestial ball towards any area, causing an impact like a meteorite with negative energy. This trick can be used repeatedly until the celestial ball disappears.
The celestial sphere of the dead releases negative energy, deceleration halo, aging halo, weakness halo and other DEBUFFs to the outside world all the time.
Special warning: If the living get too close to the celestial sphere of the deceased and are caught by the undead on the shell, they will immediately become the new undead on the celestial sphere and become part of the "immortal shell" of the celestial sphere."
…
No wonder all the undead in the swamp have disappeared!
A flash of lightning flashed in Matthew's mind. At this time, why do you need to read the instructions?
He could have roared:
"run!"
The celestial sphere slowly pressed down.
Matthew patted his chest, and a moonlight lit up on the badge. With the blessing of the moonlight, he quickly turned into a raven and flew away.
Lumiere and Xiu Yi escaped faster.
What Matthew was most worried about was Bobo stamping his feet, the soles of his feet bursting into flames, and his whole body shooting away like a torpedo.
boom!
Bobo slammed into a tree. Fortunately, he was protected by a helmet and narrowly avoided being crushed by the first wave of the celestial sphere.
But all this has just begun.
After the huge sphere landed, all the undead on it stretched out their hands towards the group of people.
The sound of babbling rang in their ears.
Those who listened trembled all over.
A huge ball of flesh composed of the undead rolled in the swamp.
Perhaps they knew that Matthew, Lumiere and Xiu Yi each had their own means of escape.
Meatball’s first target has suddenly been chosen as Bobo!
After this fall, Bobo's walking efficiency was significantly reduced. Although she stood up immediately and walked a few steps, there was a blue light under her feet. I don't know if the circuit was broken. In short, she looked very unsmooth.
, which is really worrying.
Matthew was flying in the air, overlooking the overall situation. Soon, he saw the figure of a man in black robes fifty meters ahead of the previous route.
Seeing this, he quickly shouted:
"Lumière! Help!"
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, Lumiere was already on his way.
But I saw him running out of the reeds next to him with great strides, and he suddenly put Bobo and his armor on his shoulders.
That moment.
Lumiere's knees couldn't help but bend, but after only half a second he adapted to the weight, and he ran all the way while carrying Bobo!
Lumiere's physical qualities comparable to those of a Tyrannosaurus were fully demonstrated at this moment.
The meatballs were chasing after them, and the undead stretched out their withered hands to catch them.
But he can just keep a certain distance from the meat ball.
This gives the undead people on the meat ball a feeling that they are neither close nor far away, as if they are within easy reach.
"I, I'm not rushing you."
Bobo looked pale and said:
"But can you hurry up a little bit? I'm a little, a little bit..."
Lumiere said calmly:
"No, I can't run too fast, otherwise I won't be able to attract his attention."
While speaking, he even raised his eyes to look at the sky.
The raven that had been following them immediately turned back and flew toward the southwest of the swamp after realizing that the two were safe.
By this time the fog had partially dissipated.
Even Lumiere could clearly see the shadow of the man in black robe.
That is the priest of the Dragon Worship Cult, the level 20 necromancer Blinken with the dragon soul class!
…
There are turbulences in the sky.
Maybe it was because the raven was too fragile, but Matthew's heart was beating hard.
He slowly approached the black-robed Blinken and hovered above his head three times.
Unexpectedly, the latter didn't even look at him, which made people feel discouraged.
Just when Matthew was about to interfere with the opponent's spellcasting.
His peripheral vision suddenly saw a wet water stain under the feet of the man in black!
The swamp is humid and full of water vapor, so water damage is normal.
But the gap between the black-robed man's feet is obviously newly formed, a bit like he peed his pants. It's not much, but it does exist.
Thanks to Matthew's good sense and careful observation, otherwise he really wouldn't have noticed this detail!
"That's right. In order to deal with a few of us, Blinken even cast out the fifth-level forbidden curse. The heavy fog just now was probably him covering the sphere of the dead. How could this guy be so cautious, how could he stand in front of us?
Casting a spell?”
Matthew coldly observed Blinken's movements.
Sure enough, I found some stiffness again.
"It's a water mirror image!"
Matthew made a decisive decision.
"But to control a spell like the Heavenly Sphere of the Dead, he must not be too far away. Even for a level 20 mage, 1 kilometer is the limit."
He looked around, but the fog had not completely dissipated, making it difficult to see clearly.
He looked back at Lumière and found that the latter could still handle it, so he breathed a brief sigh of relief.
“Blinken’s true location must be found!”
Just think of this.
Matthew flapped his wings and landed on a thick branch.
After transforming into human form.
He didn't dare to rest for a moment, jumped under the tree, knelt on his left knee, slowly opened the five fingers of his right palm, and then gently clasped it on the soft soil.
"Ability: Balanced Perception"!
In an instant.
The colors in the world have lost any meaning in Matthew's eyes.
A brand new picture slowly unfolded in front of him!
