Chapter 179 Death Banshee! Undead Servants
There are three types of monsters in the weird kingdom. The distortion of flesh and blood is the most common, the indescribable illusion is mysterious and unpredictable, and the hatred of the world is extremely powerful.
Lady Hecate took the Pot of Greed.
As for the teacher's desire to borrow this artifact, Xiao En didn't hesitate at all and directly handed over the Pot of Greed that screamed in horror. He is not strong enough to torture the sealed wind elemental demigod inside, but Ms. Hecate will probably torture him easily. Looking at the frightened look on the wind elemental demigod's face, it is estimated that he will not have an easy life in the future.
Xiao En only has one artifact in his hand now, and that is the 'Lich Ring' given to him by Ms. Hecate.
——Lich Ring +9 [Weak Artifact].
——Origin: One of the Lich Rings that the Tomb King spent hundreds of years forging for himself. It can comprehensively strengthen his spellcasting ability and provide additional immunity blessings.
——Characteristic [Magic]: Additional spells of 1-9 levels. (Equivalent to an extra spell slot of levels 1-9.)
——Feature [Regeneration]: Automatically obtain the regeneration effect.
——Characteristic [Shelter]: All saving throws +5, acid resistance 20, fire resistance 20.
——Characteristic [Metamagic]; additional metamagic feats such as spell prompting, spell sequencing, and advanced spell penetration.
——Feature [Protection]: Provides a +6 energy deflection field.
This is the loot Xiao En received from his last job.
His ideal is to be promoted to the Lord of the Rings one day. However, although every demigod lich has the Lich Ring, it is their treasure at the bottom of the box. It is still very difficult to collect it. . Theoretically, if you can wear ten demigod lich rings, your mana pool can be expanded by ten spells of levels 1-9. But even Ms. Hecate only wears two rings on a daily basis, one is the Lich Ring +9, and the other is the Witching Ring +9.
The night passed quickly.
Xiao En still followed the original plan and forcibly memorized most of the knowledge in the Starry Library. This was an agreement reached by Ms. Hecate and the great sages at a certain price. She obviously doesn't want Xiao En to be distracted by the Pot of Greed. A sky stone can't change anything, not to mention that the Pot of Greed has always been good at deceiving people.
At the same time.
Over the Forgotten Lake where the underworld evolved, Ms. Hecate held the Pot of Greed with an expressionless face. She stood in front of a waterfall that flowed down three thousand feet, and said with an expressionless face: "You Say something?”
The Pot of Greed trembled slightly and said in a horrified voice: “What do you want to do?”
Ms. Hecate threw the Pot of Greed into the pot without saying a word. The Lake of Oblivion is the intersection of the Styx water. From here, it connects to other planes to form a whirlpool-like transmission channel. The water of the Styx is amazingly corrosive, and even demigods may not be able to resist it. If you soak for too long, your memory will be washed away by the water of the Styx and you will become an idiot. This is actually similar to the reincarnation platform in Eastern legends. Even if the gods are washed and thrown in, they still have to shed three layers of skin.
Ms. Hecate said calmly: "I am just such a disciple."
"I don't trust you."
Plop.
The Pot of Greed was thrown directly into the Lake of Oblivion. The next second, the endless water of the Styx poured into it. The corrosive liquid full of negative energy filled the entire Pot of Greed. You can listen The Lord of the Wind Elemental Gods and Monsters sealed inside screamed in pain, and said in panic: "I say! I'll tell you where the Sky Stone is!"
"Let me out quickly!"
Ms. Hecate shook her head slightly and said in an unquestionable tone: "You still haven't figured it out."
"The Sky Stone is not important."
"You can't be that unstable factor." Important! ...Tell me where the Sky Stone is, and I will only wash your memory! ...If you don't tell me, I will imprison your soul in the Lake of Oblivion and wash it away until your consciousness disappears completely."
< br>Ms. Hecate did not expect that Master Xu would give this artifact to Xiao En. It would be fine if it had always been honest, but if it was not honest, the lady would have wanted to take it away.
Gulu gulu.
The Pot of Greed sank to the deepest part of the Lake of Oblivion. After a while, as if he felt that his soul was being washed away again, the wind elemental god and monster lord said desperately: "I say!... I am willing to surrender!..."
Ms. Hecate was unmoved. With a wave of her white palm, the turbulent water of the Styx turned into a powerful force to suppress it, suppressing the Pot of Greed in the deepest part of the Lake of Forgottenness. .
The laws of the Styx imprisoned him, and the power of the path of death was enough to suppress the elemental demigods.
She said without looking back: "I'll give you three days to think about it."
"Either sign an ancient contract with him, or stay in the Lake of Oblivion."
This pot of greed cannot escape no matter what. Ms. Hecate has no intention of letting it come out consciously, soaking it in the Lake of Forgottenness for three days and three nights, and then fish it out. Much more honest and stable. As for the ancient contract, it was an ancient contract signed by the original elemental lords with other beings. It was also because of this contract that the 9-ring wish technique was born. Of course, this contract can be traced back to the ancient Dawn War. The elemental princes were all defeated and finally drew up this contract.
The four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire were refined to form a stable material plane, also because the ancient god of order violently beat up the elemental plane, otherwise they would not be so honest.
Many planets in the era of the ancient gods were not the environment of the earth, but the environments of Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury. The ancient gods of order beat the princes of the elements one by one, and then stabilized the earth and water. The balance of the four elements of wind and fire allows other creatures to thrive.
Half a month passed quickly.
Xiao En stayed in the Tower of Knowledge for half a month, and did not return to his demiplane until he had memorized most of the knowledge in the Starry Vault Library.
They still haven't found a suitable thief. There is no shortage of extraordinary people in the shadow path in the real world, but legendary thieves with such strength are very rare. Among the people Xiao En has ever met, he has never encountered such a powerful wanderer. The matron back then was just a pseudo-legendary who could transform herself into a shadow activity.
If you really want to say it, the alien soul he once encountered, the person called "Ugly Monkey", may have that strength, but I don't know how much strength he has recovered now.
Lady Hecate returned the Pot of Greed.
But I don’t know why, the Pot of Greed became a little stupid after it came back. Xiao En couldn’t get any clear answer when he tried to communicate with it, but fortunately, he can still use it to perform 9-ring prayers. Wish technique. The teacher said that Xiao En did not have to deal with the matter of the Sky Stone, she would find an opportunity to take it out. This involves a diplomatic issue. Ms. Hecate probably plans to take it out secretly to prevent the great sages from discovering it. After all, the treasure is in their extra-dimensional sphere.
Ring the city.
This once prosperous city has become much withered and dilapidated. The entire south side of the city is in ruins. The collapsed black spiers have not been repaired yet, and there are scattered rubbles everywhere. The aristocratic district was razed to the ground, and the relatively well-preserved Beicheng District became the main place for people's life.
Compared with the past, the order around the city is strict now. There are patrolling guards at every intersection, completely isolating Nancheng District and not letting anyone get close, because there are lingering ghosts there.
Pedestrians on the dilapidated road looked in a hurry and did not dare to stay.
It is drizzling.
Xiao En's figure appeared next to the ruins of the Noble District. Next to him was a high-level demon hunter, who should have been transferred from other places.
"Lord Xiao En."
"Do you need our help?" the demon hunter said softly.
Xiao En shook his head slightly and said: "No need."
"You can just stay outside. I will notify you after I finish handling it."
——Detective Magic Eye .
Tiny magic eyes appeared one after another and dispersed in all directions. Xiao En's figure floated lightly and flew into the completely collapsed grand mansion in front. This is the mansion of the Horn family, with a majestic building complex. It was surrounded by a huge garden area, with a white marble fountain in the center filled with filthy red liquid.
Some broken limbs and broken arms that have not been cleaned up can be seen on the ground. The putrid smell is like death. After Xiao En steps into it, the surrounding space gradually changes, in the rising light mist. , he seemed to have come to another world.
"This place overlaps with the spiritual plane."
"The place of blasphemy."
Xiao En turned his head instantly and saw a flash of ghost, it was a He was a middle-aged man with handsome features, a mustache, blood-red pupils, and a pale face. Blood overflowed from his seven orifices and flowed down to his neck. A piece of his skull was lifted off, and the structure of his brain tissue could be seen.
——Earthbound Spirit [Ghost Warlock] (Challenge Level 11)!
At the last moment of the Dark Blood Sacrifice, the warlocks of the Horn family were almost completely wiped out. They exploded into pieces of flesh all over the ground, and the essence of their bloodline gathered towards the tower. This is really a sudden and complete annihilation of descendants.
In the weird country, the blood of warlock families is often burdened with curses. There is no such thing as pie in the sky, and there is a price to pay for being born with extraordinary power.
——High-level missile storm.
Arcane missiles appeared in Xiao En's palm. In the dim light of the missiles, the Earthbound Spirit was instantly riddled with holes. However, Xiao En did not kill it directly, but drove it into After nearly dying, a strange and brilliant gem appeared in his hand.
——Soul-taking!
The screeching sound of the resentful spirit sounded, its soul was directly absorbed by Xiao En, and a large gray soul crystal emerged.
"Deal with one."
Xiao En put away this high-quality soul crystal. The druids lacked the soul-capturing spell, so this job fell into Xiao En's hands. hands.
So as not to waste resources.
Along the way, a steady stream of earthbound spirits appeared in the ruins. Xiao En cleansed them one by one in an orderly manner. The souls of powerful warlocks were directly absorbed, and ordinary resentful spirits were blasted to pieces. It has to be said that the Horn family has quite a lot of descendants. Along the way, he met at least dozens of family members who had the blood of warlocks during their lifetimes.
A faint sigh sounded.
Xiao En stopped, as if he noticed something, looked into the deepest part of the light mist, and said in a deep voice: "The Banshee of Death?"
"I didn't expect that the Horn family still has Are there any survivors who actively transformed into undead? ”
A dark wind blew.
In the blown mist, an enchanting figure wearing a white aristocratic dress emerged. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her long black hair was dancing gently. She was floating half a meter above the ground. In the air, dark eyes stared at Xiao En not far away, and said faintly: "Why bother us?"
——Media Horn [Death Banshee] [Destiny Warlock] (Challenge Level 18 )? !
Xiao En's expression was a little surprised, he raised his eyebrows and said: "The heir to the Horn family?"
The floating death banshee turned its head, the warlock's unique and charming face was pale. Transparently, she whispered: "Why bother us? We are not hurting anyone else."
Xiao En said calmly: "You have occupied the place of the living."
Because of these dead members of the Horn family, the entire aristocratic area and villa area have turned into a haunted house.
The banshee said quietly: "This land belongs to us."
"We just stay in the place that belongs to us."
"Why do we have to kill them all? ! ”
A shrill scream sounded, and in front of Xiao En, a hazy shadow of a banshee appeared, followed by a soul-piercing scream.
—— Banshee’s Wail (9th level spell)!
Xiao En's figure flashed in an instant. He relied on his strong immunity to resist the banshee's instant death judgment. The next second, a ticking clock sounded, and a magnificent clock shape appeared under his feet. Magic circle.
——Time stands still (9th level spell)!
Everything around is frozen, including the ghosts of warlocks emerging from the ruins.
Xiao En said expressionlessly: "Kill them all?"
"Who killed all the mortals around the city? Who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people with dark blood sacrifices?"
"Your land ?”
“Did you create the real country? You just inherited a little bit of inheritance.”
“You can’t live even if you die.”
"If you don't go to the underworld and stay in the land of the living, you actually have the nerve to ask why I bother you!"
——Meteor Explosion!
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, huge fireballs fell from the sky like comets. Xiao En moved everything around him expressionlessly, and finally his eyes fell on the one called 'Mitya' The banshee said calmly: "I will give you one last chance to choose."
"Either follow me honestly, or I will let you disappear into ashes!"
This death banshee Her birth was a bit unusual. She seemed to have turned herself into an undead creature at the last moment, so she didn't get her head shot on the spot like other members of the Warlock family.
She is the only survivor of the Horn family, but she is not alive either.
Tick.
Time flow returns to normal.
The shadow of the death banshee looked at Xiao En not far away, with a hint of fear in her eyes. She said quietly: "Will you let me go?"
Xiao En En said expressionlessly: "I will imprison your soul and let you atone for everything the Horn family has done."
A bloody ruby appeared in the palm of his hand.
Xiao En said calmly: "Have you thought clearly?"
"Should you follow me yourself, or should I beat you to ashes and then use the soul binding technique to take you away?"< br>
Woooooo!
A burst of crying and wailing sounds from the Earthbound Spirits were heard.
Medea was silent for a long time, then let out a faint sigh, and her whole body turned into a gray light and shadow, entering the gem in Xiao En's hand.
——Soul Entrapment Technique!
Xiao En calmly put away the gray-white gemstone, and suddenly took a deep breath. In the next second, endless flames spread in all directions, directly burning everything in sight.
——Dragon Breath Technique!
The blazing dragon's breath turned the entire villa area into a sea of fire and burned away all traces of sin left here.
In the drizzle.
Xiao En's slender figure slowly walked out of the fog. He glanced at the other people in front of him calmly and said lightly: "Let someone go in and clean up."
At this moment, The Horn family is history.
