Chapter 31: Physical Transcendence
Brian pushed open the sarcophagus, and sure enough he found a sliding secret door hidden on the wall behind.
He increased his vigilance, carefully pushed the secret door open, and then, with the blessing of the light technique, he carefully leaned forward and got in.
The narrow corridor did not last long before it suddenly opened up.
After entering the room, he quickly let the light of magic occupy every corner of the room.
The walls of the secret room are all decorated with colorful paints and precious stones.
Under the white light, colorful lights flashed one after another, making him feel like he was on a singing stage.
However, the cold chill flowing in the air reminded him all the time that this was an ancient mausoleum, so he had to be more careful.
After Brian got used to the shining light, he immediately locked his eyes on the sarcophagus in the center of the secret room, because there was a gold-plated sarcophagus placed there.
There is no doubt that this is definitely the sarcophagus of Brysis, Lady of the North Star.
He stepped forward slowly and used detection magic to check it carefully. Then he stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the coffin lid open bit by bit with the slightest movement possible.
When Brian pushed the coffin lid halfway, out of his usual ability to predict danger, he retracted his hand as fast as lightning and retreated as quickly as possible.
As expected.
The moment he left, an angry scream came from the opened sarcophagus:
"Pathetic creature! You disturbed the grave of Lady Brysis of the North Star, I want to Curse you!”
A moment!
A cold shiver climbed up Brian's body, and then a shape gradually appeared from the sarcophagus.
Brian looked shocked, and a large amount of cold sweat fell from his slightly pale cheeks.
Just a voice made his heart tremble, and he was so frightened that he couldn't make any sound.
If it weren't for his strong willpower and the innate psychic resistance of the psion, the consequences would probably be like being hit by a fear spell, and he would be like a headless fly in the room. Flee in panic.
It can be seen from this that there is definitely some kind of evil curse placed on the coffin lid.
The reason why this curse did not fully take effect was definitely because the Myser Energy Core lost its original efficacy and had no magical energy support.
Even so, the lingering breath of the curse almost affected his mind.
He secretly thought it was a fluke, quickly stabilized his mind, and looked up in the direction of the sarcophagus.
A shadow gradually emerged from the darkness of the sarcophagus and appeared in a dimly glowing form.
Through the faint light, her features when she was alive can be vaguely seen. Her face is surrounded by disheveled hair, and her slender body is surrounded by flying rags.
The ends of her raised hands were connected to long, curved claws. A cold negative energy aura surrounded them, as if she was eager to absorb heat and life from the bodies of the living.
Although her translucent body is slender and graceful, she has an unimaginably terrifying face, with a bright red tongue and strange blackened teeth visible in her twisted lips.
The most terrifying thing was that her eyes were shining with demonic light, full of hatred and destruction, and they were staring at him motionless.
"Pathetic creature, you have disturbed the slumber of the Grand Arcanist!"
The angry voice rumbled through the entire secret room and echoed for a long time, making Brian feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
And he clearly noticed that the air around him was filled with suffocating negative energy.
Then he realized another terrifying thing.
The ghostly sounds seemed to come from various places around him, spinning around him. Each one was so terrifying and erratic, as if it would stretch out its twisted claws at any time and tear him into pieces.
“Who are you?”
Brian gathered strength for a while, took a few steps back calmly, and asked pretending not to know.
At the same time.
He took the opportunity to release his spiritual crystal servant, letting it replace him, and immediately entered a state of concentration that showed spiritual power.
Although this little guy looks very unreliable, he has warned it in advance.
If you dare to ruin his good deeds at a critical moment, he doesn't mind smashing it directly.
"I am Brysis, the great arcanist of the Netheril Empire." The evil spirit unexpectedly heard a stormy voice.
The pupils of the Spirit Crystal Servant flashed brightly, floating and spinning gently beside Brian.
"Grand Arcanist?"
Bryan forced himself to remain calm and said scornfully, "Then you are definitely the ugliest Grand Arcanist I have ever seen."
< br>This great arcanist of the spiritual school with a level as high as 35, the evil spirit transformed from resentment made him feel too calm.
This made him realize that the other party had probably developed an independent personality and intelligence.
So, he must find a way to anger her and let the good thoughts in her mind that have not been completely eliminated interfere with her heart.
Only in this way can he have a chance to eliminate the opponent.
Because through the fierce aura exuded by the evil spirit, he could clearly feel that the opponent was very strong, and he was definitely not able to deal with it now.
However, what disappointed him was that after hearing his ridicule, her face was as calm as water, and her scarlet eyes were as calm as ever.
This further confirmed his suspicion.
Brian slowly drew out his long sword, and the sharp blade glowed with the characteristic luster of silver.
"It seems that my guess is good."
He continued calmly: "A great arcanist as ugly as you must have encountered a lot of deception and betrayal during his lifetime, and in the end he could only Hiding in this inconspicuous corner, I will die in depression, and I won’t even be able to live in peace even if I die.”
After saying that, Brian quickly took a few steps back and tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword.
"Then I spent my old age alone and helpless, watching my smooth and delicate skin getting wrinkled bit by bit, and my slim and slender figure becoming out of shape and fat bit by bit. What I once pursued Your admirers and admirers are leaving you little by little, how sad it is."
The spirit crystal servant flew to a distance of about ten steps from the evil spirit on his own initiative, and sighed sadly, with a hint of sadness in his tone. Sympathy and blame.
“Gods have mercy, for a great arcanist, it’s not your fault that you are ugly, but it’s your fault that you hide in a coffin and come out to scare people. If you ask me, you still Just lie down and lie down.”
The evil spirit of the Great Arcanist shook his head slowly, his lingering hair trembling in the air, and a depressing hissing sound almost penetrated Brian's bone marrow.
This could only come from the terrifying lips on the opposite side, although her pursed lips seemed motionless.
"You didn't deny it?"
Brian added bravely: "This shows that what we said is absolutely correct, right"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that Dao The corners of the magician's evil spirit's horrifying mouth raised higher and higher, and finally, he suddenly opened his mouth
A burst of beautiful and terrifying howl broke out in her illusory throat.
The sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting Brian hard, breaking his protective barrier, grabbing his throat, impacting his ribs, and more like sharp spears piercing his ears and brain.
He quickly took a few steps back, barely remaining calm, and used the "ectoplasm barrier" to help him block part of the impact.
Even so, he still felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he was breathing heavily.
On the contrary, his spiritual crystal servant, because of the characteristics of the construct, had nothing to do with the screams of evil spirits.
“Pathetic creature!”
The Great Arcanist’s evil spirit raised its head, its long hair flying wildly. She laughed horribly, and the sound seemed to come from all directions at the same time, “ Don't waste your efforts anymore!" "Stupid and cunning guy!" Her voice gradually became deeper, like the flames of hell.
“You have been lured here by your own greed, and you are trapped deeper and deeper in the web I have woven. You cannot escape! And I will suck your life out and get rid of the shackles of this tomb forever! This is What will happen if you disturb Grand Arcanist Brysis!"
The evil spirit of Grand Arcanist stretches out its arms, its lingering messy hair and the slender rags surrounding its body, dancing wildly like a storm.
She unfolded her shiny body, opened her twisted mouth, revealing her sharp fangs that shone with cold light. Her translucent body flew up silently, rushing toward Brian like a crossbow.
——"Arcane Beam!"
Holding back the smell of blood in his mouth, Brian recited the spell and danced his hands rapidly. The completed spell and the sudden appearance of the blue and white arcane fire came together to form a silver-colored energy pulse.
The evil spirit of the Great Arcanist hissed and screamed. Before the energy pulse hit him, he suddenly turned his head and flew towards the ceiling to avoid Brian's spell, then quickly turned back and pounced on the back of his neck.
Seeing that the spell was dodged by this cunning evil spirit, Brian secretly thought it was a pity, jumped to the side, gripped the sword tightly, and struck back with a quick and precise chop.
The evil spirit floating in the air turned around gracefully, and a terrifying sneer appeared at the corner of its twisted mouth.
Looking at the sharp sword coming through the air, she opened her arms, stretched out her gleaming curved claws, and caught Brian's sword edge forcefully.
"Zizzizi"
The moment the silvery properties attached to the sword came into contact with the evil spirit's claws, white smoke rose up like a hot iron, emitting a creepy burning sound.
The evil spirit of the Great Arcanist let out a painful wail in the owl smoke, and the hazy fluorescence surrounding her body also became flickering, as if it would collapse at any time, but she had no intention of letting go. .
Having sensed that something was wrong, Brian instantly felt a chilling air spreading along the blade of the sword and throughout his body at a rapid speed.
He looked shocked. He released the hilt of the sword without hesitation, rolled on the ground, and distanced himself from the enemy.
When he looked up, he happened to see his sharp sword, which had been blessed with silver characteristics in advance, suddenly shattered under the condensation of frost and turned into fragments on the ground.
“I’ll go!”
Brian secretly wiped a cold sweat, he was really scared.
If he hadn't reacted in time, his fate would have been the same as that of this sword.
At the same time, I was surprised that this evil spirit transformed from the resentment of the great arcanist was so cunning and shrewd.
It is worthy of being an evil spirit transformed by the great arcanist of the spiritual faction.
Because the minds of arcanists who are proficient in this field are the most determined, and the evil spirits transformed from them are even more extraordinary.
The evil spirit that missed the attack screamed, and the sound seemed to come from the bottomless abyss.
She locked eyes with Brian with hatred and anger, puffed out her chest, leaned back suddenly, then suddenly arched like a cheetah, and let out a sharp roar at Brian.
For the second time, with thunderous force, the powerful sound penetrated the protective barrier that Brian had put up in time.
Suffering a strong impact from the low-end version of "Banshee's Wail", Brian's eyes were filled with stars, veins popped up on his forehead, and there was a heartbreaking pain in his ears.
My buzzing ears seemed to hear the most miserable wails and moans, the music of drow flutes and halfling oboes, and the howling of the wind through the canyon. All the mixed sounds filled my mind. , making him feel as if his head would explode at any time.
Brian knelt on one foot and shook his head vigorously. He clearly felt that the skin on his face began to become numb and cold under the impact of negative energy.
The evil spirit of the Great Arcanist screamed and flew to the ceiling, its pale and twisted lips exposed its gleaming fangs, and its curved claws were filled with evil negative energy, and it rushed towards Brian with murderous intent. .
Although Brian is still suffering from the pain of "The Banshee's Wail" at this moment, he has long since regained his previous calmness and composure, and launched his own counterattack without showing any signs of weakness.
"Mattik Stratga!!!"
The whole body of his spiritual crystal servant suddenly bloomed with bright blue luster, and then used the maximum power of telepathy to transmit his words to Deep in the evil spirit's mind.
When the evil spirit of the Great Arcanist heard the loud cry of the Spirit Crystal Servant, its dimly fluorescent body suddenly paused, and its scarlet eyes full of hatred and destruction showed a hint of struggle.
——"Second level power: shock wave!"
Brian concentrated his thoughts, and his deep eyes suddenly wanted to use the light of his soul. The moment he met the evil spirit, he turned into a An invisible edge shot out like lightning and struck directly into the depths of her soul.
The evil spirit groaned, and a painful wail came out of its twisted mouth.
Seeing that the attack was effective, Brian immediately poured out his remaining energy points frantically.
Although the damage of this power will be doubled for every 2 additional power points spent, he did not do this. Instead, he released it one after another, allowing her to endure continuous psychic blows. of harm.
Just a moment.
Brian then squandered all his psychic points, and the evil spirit of the Great Arcanist also held his head, his curved claws dug into his long unkempt hair, howling in pain.
"Shout! Keep shouting!"
Brian wiped away the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth and roared at the evil spirit of the Great Arcanist:
"Scream as much as you want! Even if you shout your throat to pieces and shout out all your organs and lungs, it won't change the fact that you have died long ago and turned into an ugly undead creature. As an undead, you can only recall your lover over and over again. Scenes of being beheaded by orcs, but there is nothing you can do!"
"No! Shut up, you damn pathetic creature"
The Great Arcanist! The evil spirit screamed loudly and struggled, and the hazy fluorescence around it became flickering, as if it would go out at any time.
Brian knew that his opportunity had come. He signaled to the spiritual crystal servant and continued to mock her sarcastically. He quickly took out the casting materials and prepared to give the opponent the strongest blow.
"It's useless... magic can't kill her at all." At this moment, the soft female voice that Brian had been waiting for echoed in the back of his mind again.
Hearing this soft voice, his tingling brain seemed to be relieved a lot.
"Then how to deal with it?"
He looked warily at the evil spirit still struggling in place and asked quickly.
Apparently, the evil spirit of the Grand Arcanist caused intense emotional fluctuations, causing the kindness deep in her heart to find a gap and take the opportunity to communicate with herself.
"There is a sword in the sarcophagus, go quickly!"
The soft female voice became inaudible due to the rush, "Kill her with that sword, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late. "
"You are the same, no one will come to save you even if you scream!" The evil spirit of the Great Arcanist suddenly raised his head and said coldly. Looking directly at Brian.
Her twisted and pale lips remained motionless, trying her best to restrain something, but the shrill voice clearly reached Brian's ears and rang in his mind, as if echoing in an icy dark lake.
"Then we'll see!" Through clenched teeth, Brian squeezed out these words, and immediately asked his spiritual crystal servant to go to the sarcophagus to get the sword.
"I will kill you! I will kill you!" After discovering that the spiritual crystal servant had swished into the sarcophagus, the evil spirit of the Great Arcanist finally became anxious, lingering long hair and slender rags all over his body. Flying wildly, roaring: "I will kill you!"
"Catch!"
The spiritual crystal servant held a gold-plated sword hilt in both hands, got out of the sarcophagus, and quickly Throwing it to his master, "Use physical attacks to transcend her!"
Seeing the evil spirit of the Great Arcanist turn his head stiffly, his whole body tensed, and he raised his body, obviously wanting to prepare for another attack. Release a low-end version of "Banshee's Wail".
Brian looked shocked and quickly reached out to catch the thrown weapon.
"This..."
However, the moment he held the hilt of the sword, he was a little dumbfounded.
Because this sword only has a hilt and no blade.
“This is a lightsaber.” The Spiritual Crystal Servant reminded him, “Concentrate, mobilize your thoughts, and resonate with it.”
