Shadow Covenant

Chapter 39 "Upgrade"

For creatures on the Earth Elemental Plane, drowning in water is a very bad experience, as if the pores and muscles are mixed with greasy oil, making people feel uncomfortable.

The umber originally thought that there was nothing worse in the world than being drowned in water.

But when that hateful human pressed his blood-stained hand against the crack in the rock behind him, a nameless fear from the heart began to spread to the whole body along with the abnormality of the elements in his body until his vision became blurred. A picture appeared in its eyes.

It seemed to see everything branded on the screen in front of its eyes, which was a monster of flesh and blood that was bigger than the earth elemental lord.

Under the shining of the white moonlight, every part of His body was extremely clear, pus-filled bubbles grew and sprouted on the rotten skin, the deformed internal organs appeared under the transparent skin, and there were popping like balloons. The cyst was constantly exploding, and there were thousands of gel-like tentacles flying all over the sky behind him.

Just by looking at it, the earth giant seemed to see a deformed body formed by the combination of countless earth giants, and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Although elemental life has extremely high mental immunity, even a legendary mage may not be able to enslave this creature with spirit, but the curse in Woody's blood comes from ancient evils that were born earlier than the gods.

simply put.

Under his corrupt aura, ignoring any saving throws, any creature with intelligence over 6 will be affected by the curse, thus transforming into various corrupted monsters.

As time passed, the umber hulk felt sick all over.

It seems that a thousand iron picks are digging madly in its body, or a huge digger is biting the elemental core in its body.

……

Woody, who was resting on the shore, noticed all the changes in the earth giant, but there was no surprise in his eyes, and he just carefully wrapped the wound on his chest with the torn cloth.

Just now, he has seen that the oozing from his wound is not blood, but pale yellow pus.

The status of the personal panel has also changed from "sub-healthy", "parasitic II" and "vulnerable II" to "blood loss", "parasitic III" and "vulnerable III".

"The curse has intensified!"

Woody has already felt that there is something faintly wanting to break through the ground and sprout under the skin. Woody knows that the root of the rotten mother tree is taking root in his wound, preparing to expand the second battlefield in Woody's body, and it won't be long. , Woody's chest will be covered by pustules and cysts like the back of the neck.

But he still has no regrets, it's not in his nature to sit and wait for death.

He is now staring at the reaction of the hill-like giant earth monster after squatting under the clear water surface after being exposed to the blasphemous curse.

It's unclear whether the infection will work for Woody now.

After all, this was also his first experiment on a monster's body.

In the past, which one was he more infected.

But according to his game experience, any creature that touches the blood of corruption has a high probability of being infected by the "curse of blasphemy", and finally becomes a glorious and perfect blasphemy.

This is the distortion and magic power contained in the blood of the ancient evil.

If it is a curse cast by ordinary blasphemers, it can also be removed with divine magic.

If you really come into contact with the evil body, the infection cannot be cured by any magic or spells, and even the soul will be deformed along with it, completely reduced to a twisted and terrifying strange creature.

It cannot be reversed or violated.

Woody stared at it for about half an hour, and went into the water two or three times during the period, interrupting the stubborn earth giant from casting spells, but its reaction now seems to be not as intense as before, and its whole body is much more rigid .

Finally, with a burst of dense bubbles under the water, it floated up.

Woody saw the earth element that was originally covered by the hard boulder. On his body at this moment, he could actually see the shallow sarcoma that can only grow on flesh and blood creatures, stubbornly breaking through the gap between the rocks, like a weed. Push out as tenaciously as grass.

Really useful!

The curse of the corrupt mother tree is indeed the same as before, it can be spread by blood!
Seeing this take over, Woody couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he already knew that this world was a world he was familiar with.

But this was his first desperate fight in the face of desperation, and his heart couldn't help beating violently.

Fortunately, the blessing of Tymora, the goddess of luck, was on his side this time.

Woody drew out the steel long sword behind his back, no longer hesitated, the opportunity had already appeared, and he had no reason to stop at this last moment.

The disgusting thing about elemental life is that you can't penetrate his defenses, so you can't hurt him.

Your attack doesn't even do as much damage as it can repair itself.

But this time after the earth giant was infected with the Curse of Blasphemy, the elemental creatures began to transform into half-elemental creatures, and their advantages no longer existed.

Woody's long steel sword easily penetrated the earth giant's corroded, no longer hard stone skin.

A row of data is displayed.

"Successful hit."

"You dealt 8 points of weak point damage to the earth giant!"

Woody's face brightened, and he could finally cause damage again.

This time his underwater swordsmanship swung faster than usual, as if recalling the scene of fighting in the ocean in the past.

Stabbing, chopping, chopping, teasing, and wiping were all used on this mud monster who was in a mess but helpless in the water.

The health value of the second-order earth giant is about 200 points. After the life value is exhausted, the rock surface that originally used to support the earth monster's elemental core will all fall off, leaving the purest elemental core.

Its consciousness will also directly collapse with the appearance of the elemental core.

However, if the elemental core is put into the earth or the elemental plane of earth is re-incubated, the earth monster will be reborn soon.

When Woody easily dodged the dying giant monster's straight-up attack again, and inserted the long-bladed dagger in his hand into another rock that had entered a state of corruption, its body finally couldn't support it.

Like assembled toys that fell to the ground and shattered, one piece after another fell into the bottom of the river.

And a row of data is also very timely feedback.

"Backstab activated!"

"The backstab hits successfully, and your weak point attack on the earth giant will cause 12 (+3) physical damage."

"The hulk's rocky body has disintegrated... the hulk is dead."

"You successfully killed the earth giant and gained 750 experience points."

……

The step-up challenge directly made Woody's experience point directly pass the 2000 mark. As long as he wants to now, he can raise his witcher level to level 3 at any time.

However, Woody did not forget to get the elemental core worth at least 500 gold coins. At the same time, he also found a metal box hidden in the stone. The pattern on the box was similar to the pattern of the "Phantom Card" he had obtained.

Obviously, this is the treasure left behind by the "Masque of Change" that the head of the circus has been pursuing so hard.

Woody also put it into the brass ring along with the core of the earth element.

Then he got out of the water, put his hands on the soft river bank, let the wet long hair stick to his handsome side face, and breathed the fresh air freely.

This journey is finally over...

His goal was also successfully achieved, and the 2000 experience points were instantly reduced.

A row of data came into view.

——"The Demon Hunter profession has been upgraded to level 3."

——"Gain 22 skill points, and increase your health by 13 points."

- "Acquire Specialty (Choice)."

—— "Acquire the Sign (Option)"
