Chapter 423 Fighting the Saluk Lich Again
Looking back, Brian also knew how difficult it was, but this at least gave him a general direction and idea. As long as he kept running If you move forward with this vision in mind and continue to repair and improve, you may succeed.
After secretly making up his mind to cultivate the red dragon, Brian put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
He glanced at the bright red giant sword stuck on the ground, and immediately used a space beacon locking spell to lock this strange space.
In this case, as long as he makes time, he can slowly refine it and make it completely his own.
If he has control of this giant sword again, then no matter what kind of legendary strongman he faces in the future, this may become his most powerful trump card.
After all preparations were completed, Brian checked his own condition, then with a thought, he was wrapped in the light of a teleportation circle and disappeared from the place.
On the other side, when Brian killed the undead creature holding the sword, two pale soul fires suddenly jumped out of the deep-set eyes of the Saluk Lich.
Obviously, she noticed the situation inside at the first time.
This forced her to admit that the strength Brian showed had exceeded her expectations. If he became a strong man with the strength of a high-level legend based on his current potential, she might not even be able to Neither is an opponent.
While this surprised the Lich, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of her terrifying mouth, as if every move of the other party was under her control.
However, in fact, Saluk Lich did not expect that with Brian's strength, he could destroy the puppets he placed in the bloody space.
After all, this puppet not only possesses the strange blood sword that even she is deeply afraid of, so much so that she has not yet completely mastered it, but also possesses her high-level legendary equipment, the Howling Chain.
With all the geographical advantages, her puppet is invincible.
But what she never expected was that this caster was only a mid-level legendary caster at best, and he must have too many spells at his disposal.
She originally thought that after a fierce confrontation with her, most of the spells had been consumed by the other party. Who would have thought that as soon as Brian was forcibly dragged to the bloody space, he seemed to have completely transformed into an extremely energetic battle mage.
With a wave of his hand, various powerful energy-shaping spells are endless. Even when facing numerous demons, he can rush to the middle area of the bloody space with ease.
What makes her most irritated is that with the opponent's ability, he can actually hurt the puppet that she is proud of, and even summon the divine envoy from Tianjie Mountain.
The moment Saluk Lich saw the divine envoy showing great power, she realized that she had completely failed.
This failure not only failed her plan to make Brian her puppet, but also the realm she had forcibly stripped from the soul of a pit fiend in Baator Hell. There is no more space.
Because she could no longer sense her position in space at this moment, this strange change was naturally self-evident.
However, even though this series of failures made the Lich extremely angry, and she even wanted to wait for him to show up and immediately use her true strength to kill him directly, she still managed to kill him in the blink of an eye. Just calmed down.
Of course, this does not mean how good her mentality is.
On the contrary, as a lich who has lived for tens of thousands of years, she has been enduring the passage of time like water dripping through stone every moment, trying to avoid being worn away by her reason and memory.
It is precisely for this reason that the personalities of most lichs in the world are mainly irritable and irritable, and she is no exception.
If she had not mastered the complete magical inheritance of the creator race, she would not have survived at all. Like most lichs, she would have degenerated into a demi-lich who had lost her mind and only had madness and the desire to kill. In the end, Discovered by a 'lucky' adventurer and killed.
The main reason why she was able to calm down instantly in such an angry situation was that she understood the characteristics of that strange sword.
So after learning that her puppet was killed by Brian, not only did she not immediately take back the howling chain she used to suppress the killing intention of the blood sword, but she still held the blood sword and tried to When he suppressed it, he secretly helped him.
The main reason for doing this is naturally not because she is worried that Brian will be controlled by the Blood Sword.
On the contrary, she just wants the other person to be completely corroded by the killing intent of the blood sword and become a walking corpse like a paladin.
She confidently believed that as long as Brian felt that he had really suppressed the blood sword's thoughts and became its true master, he would take it out of that space.
Then she directly retracted the howling chain that suppressed the Blood Sword, allowing the crazy thoughts inside to come back, catching the opponent off guard, and she could take advantage of this opportunity to use it while the opponent was busy fighting against the Blood Sword. The powerful suppression ability of the Howling Chain made Brian her puppet, the new master of the bloody space, controlled by her forever and ever.
This is the reason why Saluk Lich chose to drag the opponent to the bloody space. No matter whether the opponent can come out, he will jump into her carefully laid trap.
In a moment, Saluk Lich noticed ripples in the surrounding space, which meant that the other party was ready and planned to leave that space.
Thinking of this, she immediately raised her hand and waved, and two blood-red chains appeared out of thin air, wrapping around her body like ribbons.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of countless dead souls.
This is the howling chain that can suppress the blood sword's madness and will to kill.
And he relied on this object to remotely control the puppet. Otherwise, even with her strength, she would not be able to resist the strange and crazy ability of the blood sword, full of killing thoughts.
At the moment when the puppet in the bloody space died, if she had not spent a heavy price to forcefully summon the wail chain back from the strange bloody space, it would have probably become the opponent's trophy.
Because of this, she was seriously injured.
Now, now that her puppet has been killed, she is looking for a new puppet, and Brian is obviously her target.
As soon as the opponent appears, she can immediately use the chain to trigger the killing will in the blood sword to backfire on him, and then completely control him. Otherwise, all her hard work would have been wasted.
“Coming!”
The moment the light of the teleportation circle converged, Saluk Lich was already ready.
As Brian's figure appeared in her sight, two chains wrapped in the cries of countless dead souls were like two sharp arrows that had left the string, and they were thrown in front of Brian in an instant. Then he turned around quickly, trying to tie him up completely.
Just when the two blood-red chains were about to approach, Brian, who happened to appear, suddenly noticed that the cries of countless dead souls burst out from the collision and grinding of the chains. The defensiveness flooded into his mind, causing him to be directly affected by countless negative situations full of chaos, killing, hatred, pain, etc.
Immediately afterwards, rows of dense will test prompts, like garbled codes, appeared crazily in his prompt bar one after another.
Faced with the sudden attack of Saluk Lich as if waiting for a rabbit to attack, Brian, who had been prepared for a long time, was caught off guard. The calm and calm expression on his face became slightly distorted, and his body He trembled involuntarily, as if he was suffering from great pain.
"Successful!"
Seeing Brian's expression change, the dancing soul fire in the Lich's eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.
Next, she doesn’t have to do anything. She just needs to wait patiently for the opponent and the weird blood sword to lose in the confrontation between their wills. Then she can take the opportunity to take action and make him completely her own. puppet.
Just when she was excited about her meticulous plan, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.
It was only at this moment that she discovered that Brian did not have the strange bloody sword in his hand at all. Does this mean that he did not bring out the sword at all?
The victorious smile froze on the Lich's wrinkled and dry face, and then her sight was completely occupied by a dazzling light.
——"Keeping the Good Barrier!"
As soon as Brian's thoughts moved, a shining light instantly appeared around him, and pure and sacred light burst out from his body. Blocking the two blood-red chains trying to wrap around him.
"Boom!"
The moment the chain collided with the light beam, Brian's sacred barrier that could have lasted at least a few minutes was shattered in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the sacred energy intertwined with the sharp cries of countless dead souls, and then exploded. The terrifying energy burst out, causing the small room to be briefly occupied by dazzling white light, making it impossible to see anything around it clearly. thing.
"It seems that you made the wisest choice not to bring out that weird bloody sword." In the dazzling white light, the thoughts of the golden dragon Paralandax took the opportunity to shine in Brian's mind. rang out, "If you really can't stand the temptation and bring him out, you may really become the puppet of this lich."
Brian also nodded with lingering fear, but I thought that without even realizing it, I had walked quietly on the edge of death.
When leaving the bloody space, he originally wanted to take the sword out so that he could study it later, but after thinking about the hatching plan of the red dragon egg, he temporarily suppressed this idea. He went back, and he was lucky enough to escape.
Otherwise, the moment he appeared in this room, even if he had the protection of a powerful buff like the "Good Guarding Barrier", he would not be able to guarantee that he would really be able to withstand the attacks of chains and blood. The double spiritual erosion of the sword.
"Did you see that the strength of this lich has obviously dropped a lot?" As the light mist dissipated, he immediately noticed the strange golden dragon and reminded Brian, "It seems that our battle in the bloody space also made her herself It was somewhat affected."
"That's for sure." Bu Laiwei nodded slightly and said with deep understanding:
"After all, that space is essentially from Baator Hell. The projection of this chaotic extra-dimensional space is easy to get in and difficult to get out of. The Lich must have paid a heavy price for forcibly summoning those two chains from the space."
"Then let's do the next thing. What should I do?" Paralandusk asked, "Do you need me to continue to awaken Seth's mind?"
"No need," Brian said with a cold expression, "Awaken Seth's clone. The premise is that we can’t defeat her, but it’s different now. It’s not certain who will win.”
Just as Brian expected, when Saluk Lich saw that the other party not only failed to bring out the strange blood sword, but also used the ability of Tianjie Mountain to perfectly break the chain of howling, she realized Realizing that his plan to control the other party has completely failed, if he is not careful, he may even overturn.
However, as a Saluk Lich who has lived for tens of thousands of years, she will not choose to back down.
“Since it’s something I can’t get, let’s destroy him completely!” Saluk Lich glanced at this troublesome spellcaster fiercely, and quietly stepped out of his robe. He took out two spell scrolls surrounded by a strong aura of negative energy.
Brian naturally noticed every move of the other party immediately, and immediately communicated with the golden dragon Paralandax through his thoughts, "It seems that the other party is planning to fight for his life."
"Yes, you have to be careful." Jin Long reminded solemnly, "Liches are not only incompetent and furious, they go crazy, but it is very scary. After all, the existence of a phylactery makes They don’t care that much about death.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian saw that the other party had activated the two scrolls in his hand.
In an instant, a breath of negative energy that suffocated him rushed towards him, and invaded into his body along the countless pores on his body surface, making him feel as deep as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. cold.
Immediately afterwards, Brian suddenly realized that this bone-chilling aura had all converged on his shoulder, which had been stabbed and healed by a chain when fighting in the bloody space, and then showed no mercy. It broke through the shackles of the skin and spurted out streams of scarlet blood.
And Brian also felt the bone-deep pain at this moment, as if his shoulder had been completely torn apart by a huge force.
But the pain was just the beginning for him.
Because the Lich can activate more than one scroll.
The effect of the second scroll did not keep Brian waiting for long.
In an instant, the cracked and bleeding wound on his shoulder suddenly burst out like a soul-burning flame, forcibly transforming his blood into a flammable corrosive mixture, burning violently.
