Chapter 11 Breaking in
With the acquisition of a powerful human shield and thug, Zuo Si finally got the last important piece of the puzzle in his escape plan.
Now, what he has to do is to reach the upper area of the tower, find and forcefully open the portal before the undead creatures outside exhaust the energy reserves of the mage tower.
Although the entire floating city is currently shrouded in powerful confinement spells, ordinary teleportation magic will not take effect at all.
But the power of the planeswalker's spark, coupled with the energy that the portal can gather, should be able to tear open a small crack.
Although this rift may be a little unstable, and it is not even known where it will be teleported to in Faerûn, it is still much better than staying and waiting to die.
What's more, Zuo Si now has a dragon!
Even if you live in inaccessible places such as deep mountains, deserted islands, or the sea, you can still ride a dragon and move quickly to the vicinity of the town.
With the desire to survive, he was so hungry that he ate the last few pieces of candy in the paper bag without leaving any way out for himself.
In this way, one person and one dragon quickly passed through the corridors and stairs, arriving at the only entrance to the middle and upper areas of the tower.
Just like most mage towers in this world.
When Asta, the Archmage of the Necromancer, was originally designed, he used the underground part as a warehouse, a necromantic magic laboratory, and a place for slaves and servants to live.
The middle floor is a series of special rooms with functions such as libraries, workshops, and exploration rooms, as well as public places for apprentices to attend classes, rest, and conduct magic experiments.
As for the upper level, it is his own private space.
No one is allowed to approach or break in without permission.
Otherwise, even if I am not there, the guards, traps and summoned creatures scattered in the passage can easily kill the intruders.
Zuo Si once witnessed an ambitious apprentice with a high level of mage who wanted to sneak in while Asta was out, looking for some knowledge or magic that could bring more powerful power. .
In the end, he used a spell to turn himself into an invisible spirit to deceive two golems, and then he was hit by a negative energy ray emerging from the smooth wall.
The result was, of course, sudden death as expected.
The body lay there for weeks, until it decomposed and gave off a pungent stench, and Asta allowed the other apprentices to clean it up.
Looking at the two fleshy golems standing at the door, which were more than three meters tall and nearly one meter wide, Wilmes, who was still in human form, immediately showed fear in his eyes and asked without looking back: "What's inside something like this?" How many more? "
You must know that although the physical golem does not look much different from the corpse creature, it is made up of the corpses of various creatures.
And the more corpses and larger bodies used, the stronger the corpse creatures and flesh golems obtained in the end will be, and the harder they will be to kill.
But in terms of production technology and difficulty in dealing with it, they are completely different from the sky and the earth.
The latter is just a simple combination and can be damaged by any form of energy and physical attacks.
But the former is a powerful guard created with necromancy magic. Whether it is skin, muscles, or bones as a supporting structure, they are all strengthened by magical power.
Not only does it have all the characteristics of construct creatures, such as immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, shock, instant death, charm, control, and a series of spells and ability effects, but it also has the same characteristics as a troll. Similar powerful self-healing capabilities.
The most important thing is that the flesh golem is a kind of "golem".
The biggest feature of the golem is that it has at least one type of spell immunity and resistance.
Many powerful mages would rather face a dragon than fight a golem that restrains them.
"Two at the door, and two more after passing through the passage and stairs into the upper floor, for a total of four.
In addition, we must also be careful of hidden magic traps that may exist on the walls and floors in the passage, As well as eight metal structure creatures made of steel and a group of gargoyles in the room where the portal is located.
As for the specific type of metal structure, I am not sure.
But. They all hold various weapons in their hands.
Of course, if we are lucky enough, we may encounter Asta himself when passing by his bedroom, or he may have transformed into him. Lich of him.”
Zuo Si didn't hide anything and told everything he knew directly.
With such a powerful guard force, if it were not for the help of the red dragon, he might not be able to get through it even if he had dozens of lives.
"Damn! There are too many! Can't we climb from the outside to the upper level and break through the wall?" Facing such a terrifying lineup, even Wilmes couldn't help but feel a fit of panic. Nai, I want to find another way to avoid unnecessary fierce battles.
If it were in a wider place outside, she might be able to use her flying and jumping abilities to maneuver around, and then find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
But the problem is that this is inside the Mage Tower!
Although by human standards, each room is quite spacious in terms of height and area, and there is no feeling of crowding and depression at all.
But for a giant dragon that is seventeen meters long with its tail, it is still too small and cannot be used at all.
Furthermore, the small space means there is no place to dodge or jump. You have to go head-to-head with multiple enemies that pose a threat. If you are not careful, you may overturn.
Zuo Si shook his head gently and interrupted this unrealistic fantasy neatly: "Stop dreaming!
Do you think I didn't think of this opportunistic method?
Because the entire mage tower is an integrated structure.
As long as an unknown and unauthorized creature is detected approaching, whether from the ground or in the air, offensive spells will be immediately released to strike.
What's more, activating the portal must consume part of the tower's energy reserve.
If the stored energy is used up, we must wait for at least ten days to recharge. ”
"Since we have no choice, we have to force our way through."
After saying that, Wilmes instantly returned to the form of a dragon, opened his big mouth full of fangs and took a deep breath.
The next second...
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The hot flame breath instantly enveloped everything in the cone in front.
The suffocating heat wave can be clearly felt even from several meters away.
Those tables, chairs, sculptures, lamps and the like were all reduced to ashes almost instantly.
Although the two flesh golems were enveloped in the spitting range and suffered severe burns, they relied on their regeneration ability to quickly repair themselves and at the same time took steps to charge towards the giant beast that attacked them. .
"Get away! Dirty bastard!"
The red dragon roared after it finished breathing, spread its wings, and launched [Dragon Wing Slap] at one of the flesh golems.
This is the signature move of almost all dragons in close combat.
Before the latter stretched out his big hands full of pustules to grab something, his whole body flew into the air and flew out with a bang and hit the wall.
Following that, Wilmes raised his front paws again, flipping the other flesh demon to the ground with an almost violent attitude, and then flew forward and pressed all the weight of his body on it.
Bang!
This made the tower seem to tremble slightly from top to bottom.
Zuo Si, who witnessed the terrifying frontal combat power of the red dragon for the first time, was completely shocked.
He suddenly realized how lucky he was to be able to control the other party.
If he were not trapped in the binding circle, even if he awakened the strange object made from the mind flayer's brain tissue, there would be absolutely no chance of success.
It seems that the approach of the Necromancer - Asta is the right one.
To deal with a terrifying behemoth like a giant dragon that stands at the top of the food chain, there is no need to talk about "martial ethics".
We cannot engage in head-on confrontation recklessly.
Reduce magic resistance!
Blind and blind!
The Curse of Weakness!
Powerful bondage!
Before the dragon notices the danger, strive to take it away without giving any chance to fight back.
