According to intelligence, an evil organization called Death Prayer attacked a village a few days ago, resulting in the death of thousands of people in the village.
After receiving the news, the nearby Mage Guild also immediately attacked. However, there was an intermediate mage in this organization. The local Mage Guild did not have enough strength to respond and could only report the incident. Then the incident became a mission and was urgently passed to the Guardian Organization.
.
However, the repeated news caused the evil organization to flee the scene, but the Guardian organization's powerful intelligence capabilities still found clues to the evil organization.
The latest information Song Xueren has now obtained shows that the group is in front of a cliff shrouded in fog.
"Damn it, we still have the last bit left." In a dense forest outside the misty cliff, a man in gray robe looked at the black beads in his hand, his eyes full of regret.
After sacrificing the souls of thousands of people, this imperfect soul bead was condensed. This soul bead was not enough for him to become a lich and gain eternal life.
"Boss, do you think the Guardian Organization will be targeting us?" While the man in gray robe was looking at the black bead in his hand and thinking deeply, a subordinate on the side said with some worry.
"Of course I will, maybe the guardian is coming to annihilate us now." The man in gray robe said calmly.
At this moment, the gray-robed man suddenly had a possibility in his mind, that is, to sacrifice the guardian's soul to complete his soul pearl.
When he attacked the last village, he only showed the strength of an ordinary mid-level mage. Therefore, the most guardians sent by the guardian organization are mid-level guardians. Although the strength of mid-level guardians is much stronger than that of mid-level mages,
He is not an ordinary intermediate mage, but a peak intermediate mage.
However, he had been stuck in this realm for too long. Unable to break through, he began to look for other ways. Finally, a few years ago, he found a special advancement path originating from the Western Continent.
That is to become a lich. As long as he becomes a lich, he can immediately gain the strength of a high-level mage, and he can also gain almost eternal life.
Although he cannot be considered a true human being after becoming a lich and will lose human emotions, he has lived for so long and has already tasted all the joys, sorrows and joys of the world. At this moment, his only desire is to become stronger.
So, he established the Death Prayer Organization. However, as soon as the organization was established, he received news that the Orochi Society would be destroyed, so he retreated for a few years. However, he developed a lot of subordinates in the past few years. Finally, after the news passed, he
Then he took his men into action.
However, the nearby mage union reacted quickly and did not give him enough time to complete the soul bead. Using the incomplete soul bead to transform the lich was almost impossible to succeed, and the price of failure was death.
However, it doesn’t matter. It is said that the soul power of the guardians is very strong. Sacrifice of one guardian is equivalent to a thousand ordinary people. Although killing the guardian will completely anger the guardian organization, what they did is not tolerated by the guardian organization.
.
If they don't kill the guardians, can the guardian organization let them go? Besides, as long as one guardian is killed, his soul orb will be completed. After he successfully transforms into a lich, it will not be possible for the guardian organization to kill him.
So easy.
Moreover, with so many things going on in the Guardian organization, it is not certain that much energy will be devoted to him. After all, there are many organizations that are ready to make trouble now, and there are many that are making more trouble than him.
"ah!!"
While the man in gray robe was considering the pros and cons of the plan of sacrificing the guardian, a scream suddenly came from a distance. Upon hearing this, the man in gray robe raised his eyebrows and said, "Here he comes."
"Are you a pig? You can't do assassination!"
Song Xueren looked at the blue veins popping up on Harper's forehead. He finally touched this place. He originally wanted to arrest someone and ask about the situation, but unexpectedly he was hacked to death by Harper. It didn't matter if he was hacked to death. This was actually an honest hack.
Well, now, this evil organization already knows they are coming.
"Song, it's right to be careful, but if you are too cautious, you will only miss opportunities." Harper said and strode forward.
"Next time, I will never go on a mission with you again." Song Xueren rubbed his forehead. Although according to the intelligence, the target this time was only an intermediate mage. With the strength of the two of them, it should be an easy task, but according to previous cases
, does not rule out the possibility that those evil organizations deliberately conceal their strength.
This is also the reason why an evil organization headed by an intermediate mage asked two intermediate mages, Song Xueren and Harper, to take action. This is to avoid this situation.
Otherwise, an ordinary mid-level mage can be easily dealt with by anyone.
"It turns out that he is a guest of the Guardian Organization, and he was not welcomed from afar." The man in gray robe looked at Harper and Song Xueren who had appeared, and could not help but reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he expected, there were only two intermediate guardians here this time. Oh no, they should be intermediate mages. These two people are not intermediate guardians yet.
"Now that you know our origins, I advise you to just go ahead and capture us, so that you can suffer less punishment." Song Xueren said calmly.
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Hearing Song Xueren's words, the man in gray robe couldn't help laughing. Then, the man in gray robe waved his hand, and members of the death prayer organization immediately surrounded the two people.
"Your Excellency, you think these people can stop us?" Harper's mouth was full of disdain. Among the people present, except for the man in gray robe who seemed to be a little more capable, the others were all scum.
"If you don't try, how will you know?"
As the man in gray robe spoke, he quickly spit out a few musical notes. Then, the death prayer members surrounding the two people screamed in pain. In just the blink of an eye, all the men in the gray robe turned into lifeless bodies.
Breath zombies.
"It is indeed an evil organization that doesn't even spare its own people." Song Xueren said with a solemn expression.
The strength of these minions has been greatly improved after turning into zombies. Although they are still unable to threaten the two of them, they can already cause obstacles to them.
"It is their honor to sacrifice for the organization." The man in gray robe said with a ferocious voice. As he said this, the man in gray robe also quickly launched an attack.
"Skeleton Spear!"
As a bone spear exuding the aura of death appeared, Harper and Song Xueren's expressions changed, "Intermediate peak mage!"
"Shield wall!"
Facing the attack, Harper held a sword with one hand and raised it with the other hand. The next moment, a huge golden shield appeared. This golden shield was Harper's innate magic.
"when!"
Soon the bone spear hit the golden shield summoned by Harper, making a muffled sound. Although the golden shield was rippled by the bone spear, it was successfully blocked.
"Um?"
When his attack was blocked, the man in gray robe had a hint of shock in his eyes. Apparently, Harper's strength was somewhat beyond his expectation.
At the same time, Song Xueren also cleared away the zombies surrounding them.
"As expected of the Guardians, I admit that I underestimated you." The gray-robed man gritted his teeth and said. Although he knew that the Guardians were the elites among the elites, he had only heard about them before, but this time he truly experienced them.
"Do you want to continue to resist?" Song Xueren stared at the man in gray robe, while holding Harper with one hand to stop him from rushing forward.
Because the opponent is very calm, it means that the enemy still has a trump card in his hand, and if he steps forward rashly now, he is likely to capsize.
"why not."
The man in gray robe took out the black soul bead. The enemy was stronger than he expected. The original plan was no longer feasible. He could only take a desperate risk and forcibly transform into a lich.
"Gudu!"
Without hesitation, the man in gray robe swallowed the soul bead in one gulp, and then, the terrifying breath of death burst out from his body instantly. In almost the blink of an eye, the man in gray robe's breath of life disappeared instantly, and was replaced by the cold breath of death.
"So hungry, so hungry!"
The man in gray robe growled with a voice that sounded like metal cutting. Using the incomplete soul beads, he was lucky enough to transform into a lich, but due to the lack of soul power, the man in gray robe must obtain more soul power as soon as possible.
, otherwise, his own soul will be swallowed up and eventually become an unconscious lich.
"This is trouble."
Song Xueren's face was solemn. Together with Harper, he could barely cope with a peak intermediate mage, but if he faced a lich at the senior mage level, it would be almost impossible to win.
"This person has just become a lich, and his strength has not yet reached its peak. He should be able to kill him." Harper held up a shield in one hand and a sword in the other and rushed over. There are many creatures like lich in the Western Continent, and Harper knows them very well, so
, he could conclude that the lich in front of him was not perfect.
"Heh~~"
Looking at Harper approaching, the gray-robed lich stretched out his withered arms. Suddenly, a huge bone claw stretched out from the ground and grabbed Harper.
"Shield Bash!"
Harper, who was connected to the magic network, was filled with magic power, and the large shield in his hand directly hit the bone claw.
"Haha~~"
In response to Harper's move, the gray-robed lich let out a contemptuous laugh, and then countless bone spurs erupted from Harper's feet.
"Whirlwind!"
However, Harper was not slow to react. He made a large rotation with the big sword in his hand and cut off the bone spurs. But then the real killing move of the gray-robed lich came.
"not good!"
Harper, who was busy dealing with the bone spur, could no longer focus on dealing with the gray robe lich's attack.
"Ding!"
However, at this time, Song Xueren appeared and blocked Harper's attack. "Hey, this is really powerful." Song Xueren suppressed the blood boiling in his body and forcefully swallowed the blood in his throat.
"Song, I owe you a favor!"
Seeing Song Xueren blocking the attack for him, Harper said solemnly.
"I don't want your favor. Now you listen to my command and follow me." Song Xueren said anxiously. Facts have proved that the two of them are no match for this lich. Since they can't defeat it, they will run away and call for support.
There happened to be a very thick fog on the nearby cliff, so they could take shelter there and wait for support to arrive.
