Chapter 5 Genius and Staggering Demon

Altar with Hungry Lady Camilla Divine Idol.

It’s a sickly female statue of a multi-colored fungus that, from a distance, looks like a festering tumor, or something else unpleasant.

But if you look closely, you can feel a certain evil beauty from it.

“I have two pieces of debris that lost contact in that ruin.”

The monster who had been staring at the statue of Goddess suddenly opened the mouth.

and said.

It was a monster as fat as Roshan, with a rusty short blade in its hand, and horns that were twisted and tangled like dead branches on its head. Its stature is very tall, and it is much taller than ordinary adult men just sitting. Its shape is deformed, strange sarcomas proliferate all over its body, and its skin is covered with traces of festering and corruption.

“Would you like to take a look?”

A man in a gray cloak was answering, sitting on the other side of the altar, holding a lead-colored stick.

His stature can be said to be strong, but compared with the monster next to him, it makes people feel very thin.

“No need, the best time to anchor the ceremony is almost here. As long as the contract of this body is completely anchored in your in the depth of one’s soul, my range of action does not have to be affected by this Constrained by the altar. At that time, will the outside world find out that it will not affect our next actions.”

The monster with the rusty knife replied in a dull voice.

“When the time comes, take the people from the town down the hill before you leave.”

“Don’t be too ostentatious, Ringworm.”

gray robed man speaks to remind.

“Even though the Church in Blackwater Province is a few levels weaker than the rest of the empire, if there is too much noise, it will still attract the Seal Temple to investigate, when the time comes it will affect you and me. No one should try to benefit from the master’s plan.”

“If you want to say swagger…”

Probably dissatisfied with the other party’s attitude, the monster named Ringworm squinted. Eye.

“That’s not more ostentatious than selling the ruins map of the sad mountain range to the students of Offa University. Although ceremony needs fresh sacrifices, in the name of archaeology, it’s better to sell that kind of noble Academy’s ruins. The students tricked them into offering them as sacrifices, aren’t you afraid that the parents of the missing children will hire a high-level adventurer squad to search the mountains? Or are you still brooding about your expulsion from Offa University, David Orbis.”

To that monster’s provocation, the gray robed man named David Orbis just answered without emotion.

“Most of the students in the archaeology department are studying spells of healing and shadowing, which are more suitable for the blood of sacrifice you need. And they are stupider, more deceitful, and more difficult than the adventurer squad. It’s easy to deal with, that’s all.”

Ringworm grinned and was about to say something, when the expression on his face suddenly changed.

“Is the Formation I set outside the Scar of Sorrow destroyed?”

“Really?”

David’s expression also changed slightly.

Ringworm closed his eyes for a moment, then nodded and said.

“Yes, it was broken from a single click, and it is now collapsing.”

“Is the point of destruction of the Formation coming from the direction of that ruin.”

David asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, but the method used by the other party is very primordial. Instead of using a cracking technique, it is destroyed by pure magic flow.”

Hearing this, David was originally dignified. His expression softened a little.

If you directly use the flow of mana to destroy the Formation, there is a high probability that the opponent is a novice – either he doesn’t know how to save the use of precious mana, or he doesn’t know the spell that the Formation destroys at all.

A lost explorer? Or another deceived archaeological team?

But no matter who, he will not relax his guard because of this. He has been preparing for this ceremony for more than a year.

“Then don’t wait for the best ceremony time, just start anchoring and don’t make any extras.”

Ringworm nodded its fat head in agreement, and then it stood Up, chanting the obscure Moon Realm incantation.

The power spread with the incantation uttered by Ringworm, all the trees around the altar were twisted by an invisible giant force, and the twigs and leaves were scattered all over the ground, but if you observe carefully , you will find that the bright-colored strains on the stubborn branches and leaves begin to grow continuously, and the slender hyphae continue to extend from it, and the sick life becomes extremely prosperous around here.

…………

Zhou Mu, who was observing the situation of the altar, felt someone pulling him. He turned his head and Liliana was looking pale at him.

“Let’s go first, before they find out.”

“Why?”

Zhou Mu asked suspiciously.

“I know who the one in the gray robe is. That’s not a character that can be dealt with alone. Let’s go down the mountain to find someone from the church first.”

“So that person Who is it?”

Zhou Mu was a little curious.

“David Orbis, who was also a student at the University of Offa in Blackwater Province. At the age of eighteen, he won the seventh rank in the two fields of summon department and shadow department, and is known as the University of Offa’s nearly five The most promising genius in the Master field and even the Legendary Domain in ten years.”

“Is that your Senior?”

Liliana shook the head hard.

“He was expelled from the Academy two years ago on suspicion of researching forbidden spells. At that time, the Academy also contacted the Holy Spirit Church to imprison him as a heretic mage. As a result, he directly contacted the executioner who came to arrest him. There was a battle between the executors, half of the dormitory building was bombed to ruins, and the entire team of elite executors failed to leave him behind.”

The executor was trained by the Holy Spirit Church to deal with the threat of mages. The Mage Killer who came out can fight against a whole team of executors and escape, its ability is evident.

“It is said that the church sent people to search his home afterwards, and found a large number of human organs used in primordial secret rituals in the basement, as well as the bones of many deformed monsters.”

Here, Liliana spoke to Zhou Mu almost in a pleading tone.

“Even if you don’t mention the Moon Realm monster beside him, a heretic mage with at least seventh rank strength is really not an existence that you and I can deal with alone.”

Liliana’s tone Revealing sincerity, Zhou Mu was also thinking about her words.

Zhou Mu is not very clear about the strength of the seventh rank. In the game “The Last Watcher”, the mage has never been rated – it should be the standard that was tinkered with by who or the organization in the thousand years he was away.

But the Master Level and Legendary Domain mentioned by Liliana are indeed the reference used to evaluate the strength of a spell in the game.

Apprentice, Expert, Master, Legendary, Divine Domain.

Each spell will have one of its entries to indicate its rarity. Although in terms of gameplay, it is not that the higher the rarity, the stronger it is, but the original intention of the game’s planning team is to design it like this.

Failure to do that is a problem with the balance group.

If so, the subtext of “probable to reach Master Level” is the ability to use expert spells.

But does that count as genius?

So compared to the grey-robed man Liliana was facing the enemy, Zhou Mu paid more attention to the Moon Realm monster who was chanting incantations.

From the perspective of the other party’s shape, it can be regarded as his own old acquaintance.

Staggering Demon.

Zhou Mu was very impressed with this monster.

He remembered that when he was attacking the Hungry Lady’s Moon Realm dungeon, “Lake of Entropy,” it was always torturous.

The level of Staggering Demon is about 60-80. In design, it completely abandons the formidable power of physical and spell attacks, and fully builds up the blood bull elite monster with blood volume and life recovery speed.

Of course, Zhou Mu would not give a tormenting evaluation if he was just a blood bull monster with low attack and high defense.

The most disgusting thing about Staggering Demon is that it will gain an aura that continuously applies abnormal status after being injured. The more HP lost, the stronger the effect of this aura.

Not very threatening, but the level of disgust is full.

Whenever encountering a large-scale encounter, the enemy’s configuration, whenever a Staggering Demon is mixed in as a meat shield, will make the battle a few grades more difficult.

But then again, if it’s just a single summary, then the Staggering Demon is just a stake for measuring damage.

And the stake to test the damage is exactly what Zhou Mu needs most right now.

Thinking of this, he pushed aside the branches that covered him and walked out.

Liliana behind him was startled by his behavior, while the Staggering Demon and the man in grey named David also cast their gazes at the same time.

“You…”

The sudden action of the man in front of her made Liliana’s mind a mess. She couldn’t figure out whether she should run first or blame him for his death-seeking behavior. , but Zhou Mu turned back and patted her shoulder at this time.

“Don’t worry, I said it before. Let’s get to the root of the problem first.”

His words reminded Liliana of his archaeological team, and The person who desperately covers her run.

“But…”

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

Zhou Mu took off a primitive sunbird from his neck. The pendant was placed in Liliana’s hand.

“The air here will be bad for a while, you put this on.”

Liliana subconsciously took the quaint pendant, and the moment it touched her skin, A warm current began to flow in his blood.

Have you ever had an enchanted pendant?

But she had never heard of an enchanted pendant that could have such a noticeable effect without wearing it.

By the time she came back to his senses, the man was about twenty steps away from the altar.

David Orbis stood up holding the lead-colored staff. He looked back at the Ringworm, which was about to be completed by ceremony, and then looked towards the man with white hair and silver eyes.

“Good to meet you, unknown magic caster.”

He said very politely.

“Fortunate to meet, that genius of what university, and the Staggering Demon behind you.”
