Just as Lu Xi was about to land on the observatory at the top of the tower, several black shadows condensed and formed around the observatory. Each of those black figures was wearing a pointed black cloak, but nothing could be seen under the cloak.
Weird images - of course, different from Tyrell's ones where there is actually a black man inside. Since they are both translucent, you can clearly see whether there is any content inside.
"It's the Soul Reaver!" Esera could see the origin of these shadows at a glance. In the classification of the undead, in addition to the skeleton type accounting for a large proportion, there are also many members of the ghost type, but they tend to act
They are mysterious, and it is difficult for the Necromancer to collect them as servants.
If the Soul Reavers had another scythe, they would be very close to the God of Death on Earth. However, as soul bodies, they cannot pick up weapons. On the contrary, their attacks are difficult to find.
Traces are also difficult to avoid. As long as there is a soul, whether it is a living thing or an undead, they will become their prey!
Lu Xi roared, sprayed out a breath of dragon's breath at those Soul Reavers, and immediately let it fly upwards! Those Soul Reavers who had been ambushing them for a long time naturally would not let Lucy escape easily.
Chased him!
Although the sudden appearance of the Soul Reaver caught Luci off guard, the Great Sage had been fighting these undead for so long, so he naturally knew that these elusive guys might prevent Luci from entering the white tower. When the undead first appeared,
A large number of Bone Dragons and Soul Reavers gathered near the Alkari Council, wanting to capture this symbol of the highest authority in the Garsain magic world in one fell swoop. However, it was obvious that they underestimated the power of the Great Sage. Not only did the Great Sage
He repelled all the undead that came to attack, and also successfully carved many defensive barriers on the white tower to prevent the undead from entering Alkari.
However, the group of undead always surrounded the white tower, which forced the great sage to stay in the tower to maintain the operation of the barrier. Obviously, what the Holy Book of the Dead needed was not to kill the great sage, but just to kill the great sage.
It's enough to trap the Great Sage. Every day, a group of Soul Reavers or Bone Dragons come to the White Tower to cause trouble. I don't know where they got so much high-end combat power... I heard from Lu Xi that the giant dragon
Bian had not heard that the dragon bones had been stolen, but the bone dragons killed by the Great Sage were not made of magic power, so the origin of these undead souls was very suspicious.
Those Soul Reavers screamed and rushed into the sky, and strange attractions emerged from the dark holes under their hoods, seeming to suck everyone's souls in! Even Luci and the Laughing Emperor.
Even a dragon like Tu can hardly resist this suction!
However, a chant like thunder rang out. After hearing the sound, the mages in the white tower joined in the chant one after another! After hearing the deafening chant, the Soul Reaver screamed and wanted to throw himself off the road.
Xi and the others escaped from the white tower, but they were still a step too late after all - a lavender halo spread outwards from the great sage on the observatory. As soon as the Soul Reavers touched the purple halo,
They screamed and dissipated as if they were encountering sulfuric acid. Even if they had already become void, they would be pulled out of the void the moment the purple light came to their bodies, turning into black gas and dissipating between the sky and the earth...
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and dived into the barrier of the white tower. The barrier seemed to be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When Lucy passed through the barrier, nothing happened, as if those huge magic arrays were just decorations.
"Is that a joint chant just now?" Fan was obviously still in shock. Joint chanting is not an easy singing method. Joint chanting requires participants to sing without any errors in the scales, and the speed and rhythm of the chanting are also different.
It must be consistent, otherwise the result will be in vain. But judging from the situation just now, other magicians obviously joined in the chanting later, but there was no mistake at all, which can't help but be shocking.
The advantage of joint chanting is that it can greatly save time and magic power. The purple halo just now is the arcane spell [Void Explosion]. If you chant normally, it will take more than a hundred scales and it will take half a minute at the fastest, but the great sage just now
It only took two seconds to release the void blast!
"Welcome..." After getting off Lu Xi, the great sage took a step forward and said slowly in a tired voice, "You should follow Lu Xi to the reception room first. I will re-maintain the barrier and then go down.
"
The Great Sage seemed to be able to obscure his appearance and voice, making it vaguely possible to see his expression but not his appearance. However, judging from his voice, he should be an old man.
Lucy, who had regained her human form, led everyone into the tower. As she walked, she explained to Lily and the others: "Ward hasn't slept once since the undead appeared. Hey... I really don't know if Ward will continue like this."
Will it drag you down?"
"Is the enemy that strong?" Lily raised her eyebrows. In her opinion, the Soul Reaver who was instantly killed by the Great Sage was nothing more than that. On the contrary, the Great Sage who was originally rumored to be so powerful and incomparable was somewhat unworthy of his reputation.
Lu Xi didn't speak, but looked a little unhappy. Lan on the side opened his mouth to explain: "Didn't you feel a feeling that your soul was about to leave your body just now? I think if the great sage had been slower for a second just now, I'm afraid our
The soul will be sucked away. Once that kind of terrifying thing becomes virtual, we have no way to attack it, and we have no way to defend against its attack. If we encounter it elsewhere, I'm afraid we will no longer be alive.
.”
When Lily heard Lan's words, a strange smile appeared on her face - she didn't feel any feeling of her soul being sucked just now. Instead, the original Lily who was imprisoned in the crystal struggled for a long time. If she could
If there is a way to kill the original Lily, then he can completely replace her.
The Great Sage's reception room was still full of magical colors. Lily curiously touched the white jade-like stone chairs suspended in the air. Lily pressed the stone chairs to the ground with one finger, and then floated again after releasing them.
Returning to the original position, Lily jumped onto the chair happily. The chair sank first, and then returned to its original position. It felt like it was magnetically levitated.
Jinx on the other side kept rotating the round stone chair. When the speed of the stone chair reached a certain level, she jumped on the stone chair and rotated with the stone chair, making her signature crazy laugh while turning.
Sound, obviously having a great time.
Others are not as bold as Lily and Jinx, and they are willing to play around. Even a fearless guy like Garudo is sitting on the chair, waiting for the return of the Great Sage.
There is a strong sense of oppression in the saintly realm. Except for Lily and Jinx, two heartless guys, everyone else changed after seeing the great sage because of his powerful aura.
You have to be cautious.
After a while, the great sage walked in, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the blue robe with gold edges that the great sage was wearing seemed to be running extremely mysterious and beautiful star patterns. Brahma, who had learned a little bit of astrology,
It can be seen that these star images are not engraved randomly, but are exactly the same as the star maps seen in the night sky! Fan guessed that even the movement trajectories of these star maps are consistent with the current movement trajectories of stars in the sky.
"Thank you for your hard work, brave adventurers..." The Great Sage sat on the highest stone chair. At first, Lily wanted to climb up, but there seemed to be some kind of magic near the stone chair, so
She couldn't get close to it.
"Dear Sage Ward, why did you ask us to come here?" Ming Mo stood up cautiously and asked. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a group of humble mercenaries like him to do so.
It has something to do with saving the world, not to mention that most of Night Walker's mercenaries are slaves. Mingmo doesn't think that a group of guys like him who don't have legendary strength can solve the problem that makes the strong men of the Sanctuary helpless.
.
The great sage smiled gently and motioned Ming Mo to sit down: "Don't be restrained. I have to trouble you to help solve the Dix incident this time."
How could they not restrain their speech? With the great sage's powerful aura, it would be great if everyone could speak normally - but the great sage has actually deliberately restrained his aura, otherwise everyone would be lying on the ground now instead of
Sitting here.
"Hey, old man," Jinx said unceremoniously, "I've already heard what they said. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been exposed. What do you want from me? Did I chop it off?
Is there a grandson of yours among them?"
The Great Sage shook his head slowly and said something that no one present could understand. But it was obvious that Jinx could understand it. She was stunned and lost her grip for a moment. She was almost thrown out by the rotating chair.
: "You! You are!"
The great sage smiled and said: "Let's talk alone in a while... In addition, you must be wondering why I want to find you?"
Everyone nodded. They knew best how much they weighed. Even Jinx, who was like a madman, was not an irrational fool. The great sage sighed, waved his right hand, and a strange light screen appeared.
In front of everyone, the scenes shown on the light screen were exactly what Dix looked like before he was ravaged by the undead.
If you observe carefully, you can find that there are several identical people in these pictures specially selected by the Great Sage, and one of them is the black bone who has met Lily twice.
"Most people in Dix believe in the God of Hades." The great sage explained the history of Dix to everyone in a calm tone, "but there are still some people who believe in the goddess of the dead and the god of darkness. Because it represents the rest of the dead.
The God of the Dead and the Goddess of the Undead, who represents the resurrection of the dead, conflict with each other in terms of power, so believers of the Goddess of the Dead are usually ostracized, and together with the Dix people, including black warriors, lichs and necromancers, they are not devoted to the God of the Dead.
The embrace of someone is to hide in a corner and live a lonely life."
Hearing the words of the great sage, Aisela showed a look of surprise on her face - she was a necromancer who believed in Hades. The reason why she believed in Hades was because her master and the people around her believed in it.
God of the Underworld, although everyone occasionally talks about the goddess of the undead, Aisela doesn't know much about her. This is also the first time Aisela knows that Dix once had a struggle with faith.
"In other words, this organization called 'Code of the Dead' that suddenly appeared is actually a group of poor people who believe in the goddess of the undead and are unwilling to be squeezed out and suppressed by others?" After hearing the words of the great sage, Lily was inexplicably confused.
The Book of the Dead has generated a trace of sympathy - on earth, the situation of vampires is similar to that of believers who believe in the goddess of the dead. If some vampire businessmen had not invested in some movies that are conducive to the positive image of vampires, I am afraid that vampires would still be in the eyes of humans today.
Synonymous with terror and heresy, right? If Lily hadn't done anything when she first met Black Bones, she might have gone to the Holy Book of the Dead to become that saint.
The great sage smiled and nodded and said: "Disputes over beliefs have been common in the past thousand years, but believers of most gods can still coexist peacefully. Originally, I didn't care about this small organization that suddenly appeared, but I accidentally
By the time the prophecy was used to predict the disaster that was about to befall Dix, it was already too late... The leader of the Book of the Dead seemed to have obtained the artifact left by the Goddess of the Undead.
Summoned."
After hearing the words of the great sage, Alison couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Then do these undead have no weaknesses?"
The Great Sage shook his head and said: "It's not that there are no weaknesses. If there are artifacts from the Goddess of Light, it may be possible to deal with those undead. But even the Holy Light Church does not possess the artifacts from the Goddess of Light. Is there any artifact used by the Goddess of Light in this world?
The artifact is also unknown."
Alison whispered: "Grandpa always said that as long as you believe in the goddess of light, you don't have to be afraid of the dark..."
Nieku pondered for a while and then asked: "While chasing the Book of the Dead, I found that their core members use a strange power called the power of death. Although it looks similar to the power of death, it is
There is a big difference, and that kind of ominous feeling makes people very uneasy..."
The Great Sage did not answer, but waved his hand, changing the picture on the light screen to the situation of Dix after the fall: "That power is not the divine power possessed by the goddess of the undead. I have been studying that power.
You should have noticed - most of the creatures infected by the power of death have extreme personalities, and the darkness in their hearts is inexplicably magnified infinitely, while their power also increases. This reminds me of the causes of demons..."
"Devil?" Garudo is the one who is most taboo with this term among this group of people. The demon god he believes in is often called the god of demons, but he believes that the demon god that symbolizes power has absolutely nothing to do with that kind of crazy and evil creature.
.
The great sage paused, looked at Ji Ye, who had been silent all this time, and asked with a smile: "Little girl of the Moon Clan, I think you should know the relationship between the demon clan and the demons, right?"
Ji Ye looked up at the Great Sage expressionlessly, nodded and said, "The so-called demons are actually demons corrupted by a terrifying existence. Very few people even in Hilland know about these things.
, you are definitely not a Gazain, right?"
The great sage smiled, without comment, and continued: "I suspect that the evil force called the power of death is exactly the force that corrupted the demons. The reason why the Holy Book of the Dead did such a crazy thing
I'm afraid this action is also related to this power. And one of the reasons why I think you can solve Dix's current chaotic situation is because..."
"Because I can absorb the power of death intact, right?" Lily crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and stared at the great sage with disdain and said, "You are wrong about this. My absorption of the power of death is not without cost.
of……"
"The price is your appearance, right?" The great sage looked at Lily with a smile on his face, as if he knew everything, which made Lily more and more unhappy. "Actually, you are wrong. The reason why you appeared is not because
The power of death. You may know that you are not a naturally born individual, but originate from a forbidden magic..."
