Count Gulig's figure turned into a black shadow, and in the blink of an eye he approached behind Taylor and the two of them, and his sharp claws, as sharp as iron and as sharp as clay, stabbed toward Taylor's heart.
As a result, a spiritual entity suddenly materialized and blocked the claws. Before Count Gulig could distinguish it, he felt a flurry of punches and crackling hits on his body, blocking his sneak attack.
"what?!"
Count Gulig relied on the timely activation of the "Diamond Skin" to land unscathed. He looked up and saw a strong man appearing out of thin air. He had an indigo-purple complexion, bulging muscles, a yellow scarf on his forehead, and messy hair.
Although the hands are empty, they contain mighty power.
"Ghost?" Count Gulig was stunned for a moment. As a vampire elder, he was very familiar with this kind of incorporeal undead. There was an entire ghost family guarding the tomb where he was sleeping.
However, Count Gulig immediately noticed something unusual. This strange spirit had an extremely close connection with Taylor's life breath. It could almost be regarded as his derivative, but it maintained subtle communication with the outside world and provided its owner with additional spells.
energy.
"Is it any wonder that you, a kid, can break away from my controlling gaze? Do you rely on this thing to release the control?" Count Gulig's sharp claws scraped against each other, scraping out sparks like sharpening knives.
Taylor said nothing, sheathed his bow and drew his sword. This strong man with purple skin and yellow scarf was the Dharma-protecting general dispatched by Xinggang Dharma Altar after he was conferred.
Of course, the guardian generals are not ghosts. They are all special spirits that have been refined and enlightened by the Xinggang Dharma Altar. After being assigned by the urn, the guardian generals are transformed into the inner urn heart seal and become priests of the religious orders or spiritual guards of the summoned generals.
Part of the Dharma Protector General does not usually have a physical form, unless the giver takes the initiative to use it to attract external energy and assist him in casting spells.
However, after being awarded the urn to transfer generals, it is not that the magic power is greatly increased. It is also necessary to practice seriously. It is just to follow the inner urn heart seal as a guide, to internally refine one's own divine energy, and to sacrifice to the generals who protect the law. Moreover, in the practice of general training
During the process, the external appearance of the Dharma protector will also undergo slight changes, which can be regarded as a partial expression of the inner body and mind of the giver.
As the spiritual guard of the summoned general, Taylor would not often reveal himself as the purple-skinned and yellow-turbaned protector general. Instead, he would let him maintain his focus on casting spells on his behalf. It was like having two purposes, and he could use spells to release arrows with all his strength.
It is so powerful that even high mages must be careful.
Similarly, the Protector General returns spells that can cast various blessings on Taylor. Once Taylor is controlled by an external force, the Protector General can also immediately activate "Breaking the Barrier". For example, the dominating gaze that he just suffered can be controlled by Taylor alone.
You can't survive it with your own Will save.
But as soon as Taylor saw Count Gulig, he knew that he was no match for him, so he chose to escape without hesitation. But he didn't expect that the other party would catch up with him in an instant. If he hadn't asked the guardian general to observe the rear, Taylor would have just
His heart was ripped out by this vampire elder.
"Vampire, stand down!" At this moment, Jeanne shouted next to her. The holy symbol on her chest shone brightly, and she displayed the priest's special skill - "dispelling the undead".
In an instant, the miraculous light emitted with the sound, and a circle of light pressed directly towards the vampire elder, seeming to crush him.
However, Count Gulig just gritted his teeth, revealing a pair of sharp canine teeth, resisted the dispersing force, and looked at the female priest Jeanne with a ferocious smile: "Little sister, what's wrong? Is this all you have?
'Dispelling the Undead' doesn't work, why don't you go find the 'Preaching Spear' and try it?"
Jeanne didn't expect that the vampire in front of her had an incredibly high resistance to dispel. Ordinarily, with her strength, an ordinary vampire would feel like her whole body was being burned by fire. The pain was so unbearable that ordinary skeletons and zombies would collapse to the ground at the sound of a scolding.
"Are you... a vampire... elder?" Jeanna thought of the legend she had heard before.
"Oh! The church is quite capable. That's right. At the beginning, there were two vampire elders with weak brains. They were burned to the ground after being nailed by your 'preaching spear'." Count Gulig pressed his chest.
He stood up and said politely: "I am one of the thirteen vampire elders here. You can call me Count Gulig."
Vampire elders are not positions of authority, but the oldest group of vampires. They are extremely powerful and have been a huge threat to human society a long time ago. They are the long-term targets of crusade and confrontation by the Holy Lord Church.
During the Undead Catastrophe, some vampire elders thought they would take the opportunity to sweep across the entire Garad continent. The reason why some human countries were destroyed by the zombie tide was because vampires disguised themselves as humans and caused internal destruction.
Although vampires are undead creatures with high intelligence, they are still at a natural disadvantage when facing the miracles of the church. Therefore, after the Holy Lord Church began a large-scale counterattack, almost every one of the vampires who participated in the undead disaster was killed.
The clergy of the church were pulled out, nailed to wooden stakes, and completely burned by miraculous fire.
Even the vampire elders who could withstand sunlight were either completely eliminated or sealed away in front of the saints on earth in the church.
But right now, Count Gulig is a bit special. During the period when the undead disaster was at its peak, he did not join his fellow tribesmen. Instead, he hid in the ground and built a tomb for himself, and then just lay down obediently.
In this way, he escaped the great purge of undead creatures. Then not long ago, he was awakened by a group of adventurers who broke into the catacombs.
"Oh, I didn't expect that times would change so quickly. Five hundred years ago, humans occupied a castle, and counting several surrounding villages, they were considered lords." Count Gulig chatted in front of Taylor and the two.
In the past, there was no sign of a battlefield confrontation: "But compared with now, it's nothing. Just a country rich man, the food and clothing are much better than those of the previous lords. And there are more powerful people these days.
Ah, a young man like you could have become the overlord of a country five hundred years ago with his personal bravery."
Count Gulig's next words were obviously meant for Taylor, but he was expressionless at the moment, holding the adamantine dagger tightly in both hands, thinking about how to escape. Jeanne suppressed her fear, pulled out the scythe from her waist,
Golden light bloomed, like a pure golden arc.
"Aren't you going to run away?" Count Gulig spread his arms flat: "Then get ready, I'm going to officially start!"
…
"It's not like an ordinary magic spring, but rather similar to the original singularity before the demiplane was formed." Xuan Weizi, whose figure disappeared in the air, sat cross-legged and looked at the corpse pit below.
Xuan Weizi held a mirror in his hand and used it to spy on the operation of the "Ascending Staircase" nearby. He found that the structure of the plane deep in the corpse pit was somewhat abnormal, and even the "Ascending Staircase" seemed unable to interfere.
Once there, it's like a fish has slipped through the net.
If there hadn't been any omissions in the Necromancer's magic circle due to the surprise attack by Taylor and others, Xuan Weizi would not have easily discovered this anomaly. And Xuan Weizi also discovered that the group of Necromancers wanted to take advantage of the original singularity.
, to create a special undead creature.
Even the concept of undead creatures has problems. Xuanweizi has only sensed it in Gushim, the god of orcs. It is a highly integrated combination of belief and existence, which has touched the conceptual level of divinity.
This group of necromancers is not trying to summon, but to create. Just like making a flesh golem or summoning a skeleton soldier, trying to create a god.
After Xuan Weizi saw this group of necromancers, he used the prophecy system "super induction" to cut into the information flow of their daily conversations and learned that they were from an organization of necromancers called the "Decadent School"
.
This organization only recruits necromancers, and its actions are secretive. It does not cause trouble in the open and is almost unknown. The pursuit of this organization is quite pure, in order to ultimately transcend life and death and pursue the truth through the study of necromancy.
The Decay School seemed to have learned through some channel that there was such a primitive singularity beneath the corpse pit on the outskirts of Changxia City. So after the governor and businessman of Changxia City expelled the local scribes from the scribal school, the necromancers of the Decay School
Just focus on this place, and through some operations, you can successfully control the corpse pit, and then start preparing for the ceremony.
Xuan Weizi is actually quite interested in the necromancy of the Decay School, especially their whimsical plan to create a god, which is simply more imaginative than a half-giant.
However, the Decay School itself obviously relies on a certain medium, and the blood of the vampire elder is the key.
"Sure enough, it is still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Old World. The entire New World is more like a testing ground for ancient giants, and the variety of biological species is not as rich as in the Old World."
, I guess I don’t dare to cause trouble everywhere. It’s hard to say whether my cultivation level can be restored within more than ten years. After all, there are more crises and dangers.
Turning to look at the battle between Count Gulig and Taylor, Xuan Weizi sighed. Originally, he only handed over the psychic warriors he brought to Taylor's command, and he himself had no intention of showing up to intervene.
However, considering that there is such a powerful vampire in the Decay School, Xuan Weizi has no choice but to take action. Taro and Jeanne are about to be unable to hold on.
"What's wrong? You just gave me the courage to shoot an arrow in the chest? Why do you only have to dodge and block?"
In a series of chaotic afterimages, the vampire's sharp claws were stained with blood. Count Gulig's laughter sounded from all directions. He was running at a speed that exceeded ordinary people's vision. Taro and Jeanne were covered in his wounds.
The sharp claws tore out several scars. If the two men hadn't been strong and had sharp reflexes, they would have torn off large chunks of flesh and blood with just a single blow.
Taylor and Jeanne stood back to back, panting constantly. Jeanne activated her miracle and healed each other at the same time. The miraculous light in the iron lantern shrouded the surroundings. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hey! Can you still hold on?"
"It's okay." Taylor breathed evenly. In fact, he had an "Any Door" scroll in his arms. He couldn't use any advanced teleportation spell scroll. But in the current situation, before he could activate the spell in the scroll, Gulig
The count can interrupt his spellcasting with one claw.
And it's not easy to say this in advance, otherwise the enemy will immediately attack him violently. But leaving Jeanne here is not what Taylor wants.
Bah!
The fishy wind hit his face, and Taylor swung his sword to block it. With the protection of the generals and martial arts skills, he could already predict the direction of the enemy's attack. However, no matter how much he could predict, he could not stop the enemy, who was faster, stronger, and had an adamantine dagger.
Although it was not chopped off by the sharp claws, his arm was slashed smoothly, and the bones could almost be seen in the wound.
Taylor gritted his teeth and endured, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and one arm was almost crippled. Jeanne turned around behind him and exclaimed, but unexpectedly Count Gulig walked around her blind spot and stabbed down with his sharp claws again.
Jeanne screamed in pain, blood seeped out from her waist and ribs, and there was still a trace of green smoke around her. This was the result of Count Gulig approaching the radiant area of the miracle and suffering damage.
But even if the miraculous power works on the vampire elder, the contact as short as the blink of an eye is not enough to seriously injure him. When Count Gulig and Taylor don't go head-to-head, he just flashes and runs at high speed, attacking them from time to time.
, consume their spells, torture their bodies, and drain their blood.
"Bliss~ It smells so good, so sweet! Is this the blood of a holy virgin? This is the sweetest blood I have ever tasted!" Earl Gulig's figure is like an arrow, with his toes occasionally touching the ground, running at super high speeds
He can also turn at sharp angles. Ordinary people can only see the blurred afterimage left behind when he turns, and the surrounding air is turned into turbulent winds by his running.
"I have decided that I will transform this young man into my derivative body." Count Gulig laughed loudly: "As for this holy virgin, I will suck all your blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vampire elder killed the female priest Jeanne with his hands like a knife. He increased his speed to the limit. Under the protection of his "diamond skin", he could penetrate even the steel city gate in one fell swoop!
Boom——
The ground shook violently, dust and mud from the tomb stirred up, and a huge heavy object fell without warning, hitting the vampire elder who was moving at high speed.
When the dust settled, Taro and Jeanne looked at a shiny black, powerful and domineering adamantine demon statue with shocked faces. It kicked Count Gulig into the mud, and the surrounding ground was even more damaged.
A shallow pit was created by trampling with great force.
There is no doubt that this super large adamantine demon statue was made by Xuan Weizi's "Perfect Super Transformation". However, in order to accurately step on the vampire elder, he first used "Time Acceleration" in mid-air, and then came to him.
Above his head, he turned into an adamantine golem and fell freely.
The moment the adamantine golem's big foot stepped on Count Gulig, the flow of time quickly rebounded, but Xuan Wei Zi had already achieved his goal.
"Oh? It's quite hard? It's not completely crushed?"
Even the iron bones were crushed into cakes.
At this moment, a wisp of fuzzy mist seeped out from the cracks in the soil at the feet of the demon. This was obviously the vampire's "vaporized body" ability. Count Gulig was suddenly frustrated and chose to run away without hesitation, drifting far away in the blink of an eye.
