Chapter 6: Ice Demon Spirit
He found something.
Those are a few mysterious runes, twisted and subtle. If it weren't for the sharp-eyed and delicate adventurers, they would definitely ignore the words.
"Wait a minute!"
Charles called his teammates, walked to the wall and squatted down, looking at the runes carefully.
This is not a common word in the Torrell world, but another mysterious language. Charles always feels familiar with it. It seems that he has read books similar to words in Susal's Central Library.
"What kind of text is this?"
Zhang Ze, "Eyes" and "Fingertips Quicksand" and "God of War Kui Ye" also surrounded him. They are not game rookies, so they naturally know that the mysterious texts appear in the dungeons may mean a plot branch that has not been discovered by players.
The magician "Missinging" also stared at the text, and a pair of red eyes appeared under the hood of the cloak, as if thinking.
"Dragon Word..."
"Ashalund?"
Charles stuttered a little and hesitated to read the words on the wall.
"What does it mean?" Several captains watched one after another, with surprisingly consistent expressions - surprised and admired. The best friend Zhang Ze was even more anxious and asked repeatedly.
"It's just the pronunciation of the runes together. I don't know the specific meaning without reference books." Shir shook his eyebrows, "You use meditation to communicate with the magic net, and shout out these syllables loudly. Try to see what you react."
“Oh~”
Zhang Ze nodded with expectation, closed his eyes and meditated for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Asha Lund--"
"Asha Lund!Asha Lund!Asha Lund!"
The sound surrounded the empty rotunda, but it was useless and nothing happened. Zhang Ze showed disappointment and curled his lips and said, "It doesn't work."
"Let's go."
Shire stopped and thought for a while, then greeted the whole team: "Time is approaching midnight, and the last area is below. We must kill the dungeon BOSS before eleven o'clock."
He was the first to cross the collapsed iron gate, "Fingertips Quicksand", "God of War Kui Ye" and others followed closely behind. Zhang Ze stopped in one step and stared at the words on the wall reluctantly, with a bit of resentment on his face, and he followed the team at the end.
The team walked in a passage of bricks on all sides.
The environment was very quiet. After about twenty or thirty steps, the bulb in Charle's hand suddenly went out and the passage completely fell into darkness.
“There is something dirty!”
Charles could keenly sense that a fog-like wind came out from the passage wall and smashed the lantern in his hand at lightning speed. He could not react at all.
"ah"
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Ze at the end of the team screamed, his tone was filled with horror, "I was hit by the necromancer spell, the strength save failed, something sucked away my 5 health points!"
The best friend's face turned pale.
"It's the 'energy absorption' spell!" The magician 'wandering' also staggered for a moment, and barely stood in the darkness holding the wall.
"What the hell!"
The voice of the barbarian "God of War Kui" changed. He felt something approaching him, and a cool feeling surged throughout his body. However, the giant axe in his hand slashed over and actually hit the empty space. With a "clang" sound, it stuck into the wall of the passage.
"Virtual Body Biology!"
"ghost!"
Charles' eyes suddenly became cold, and a wooden holy emblem was held in his palm. With a series of ups and downs, the light golden magic circle light swept around with his body as the center!
——Dispel the undead!
Zhang Ze and his friends felt a golden light flashing in front of their eyes, and then there was a sharp cry in their ears. They looked along the source of the sound and a faint soul quickly turned into ashes in the golden light.
"Your team killed the ghost."
"You gain 80 experience."
The same prompt appeared in front of Zhang Ze and the others.
Shire ignored the strange eyes of his best friend and several teammates, put away the wooden holy emblem, started to walk to the ashes turned into ghosts, and grabbed a pure crystal core in the black ashes.
"This is the soul crystal core of the undead body. Necromancers and mages need it. They can exchange dozens of gold coins for the secret store thrown to the city."
He explained softly, and while stuffing the crystal core into the inventory, he also took out a wallet.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ze was stuffed with a few gold coins in his hand, and his eyes widened and confused. The barbarian "God of War Kui" refused to divide the spoils and shook his head in a deep voice, saying, "You killed the ghost alone."
“We have no right to interfere with the distribution.”
Charles stopped squeezing money and looked at the others, half-elf female ranger, magician and female wanderer, all met his eyes and returned a look of the same meaning.
"Take it back..." The best friend muttered and walked forward, threw the gold coins back into his purse, and patted Charles's shoulder armor. "Everyone appreciates your kindness. If I had killed this ghost, hehe." With a smirk, the meaning was self-evident.
"All right."
Shire did not force it, so he simply took back his wallet, took out the long sword from the inventory, and led the way as the captain.
There is only one ghost in the passage. If other teams without priests are used to face virtual creatures immune to physical attacks, they will inevitably be in a mess.
Of course, it is not only the priest's dispersed holy method that can kill ghosts. In the temple area of Susal, players can buy a small portion of holy water from any temple by spending 25 gold coins. But holy water is a high-end product for players, and the price is not much different from secondary alchemy potions.
Soon, as everyone walked out of the passage, an ice room below spread out in view.
The ice room covers a vast area, with at least ten acres of land, like an underground square. I don’t know how thick ice in the room was formed. When Charle stepped into the ice room, his face was already extremely solemn.
"Click"
It seemed that I could smell the breath of a constant temperature creature, and bursts of ice shattered sounds came from the ice chamber. About twenty zombies and skeletons in tattered leather armor and clothes woke up.
"Damn!"
"Twenty-eight zombie skeletons in total."
Zhang Ze also counted it carefully, and his voice was trembling with a hint of trembling and cursed, "This is not scientific at all! How could a large wave of undead creatures appear in a mere second-level dungeon?"
"I seriously doubt whether there are any teams that have passed the level. No wonder the forum is silent. No one has ever mentioned the strategy."
The barbarians, female rangers, and magicians kept silent about Zhang Ze's words. But looking at their flashing eyes, they obviously had similar thoughts.
“There is one more there.”
"Fingertips Quicksand" ruthlessly interrupted Zhang Ze, pulled out his dagger and pointed it at an altar in the center of the ice chamber. On it, a tall and thin man was floating faintly, and his body gradually condensed into a solid body.
This was a powerful necromancer, wearing a ragged black noble robe, with white and transparent skin like ice and snow. Black blood vessels were looming in the skin, and the hollow eye sockets were flashing with orange-red light.
What makes people even more terrifying is that the claws and teeth of the undead creatures are extremely sharp, with a hint of cold light flowing, and they are afraid that they can easily tear the armor protection.
"What the hell!!"
Zhang Ze and the barbarian were gasping.
The magician "Missinging" silently took out the black magic beads, and the magic energy brewed in his red eyes.
"My 'reconnaissance' skill failed to be activated, and only some of the information..." Fingertip quicksand also shared the monster information with his teammates while taking out another left dagger.
"【Ice Demon Spirit】(Lord), Level 4, Health: 98/98, Attributes, Features and Skills, because the Scout's skill level is insufficient, it cannot be displayed."
Ice Demon Spirit!
Charle's heart rolled and his pupils contracted slightly.
He had read the monster illustration compiled by the Cormier Royal Mage in the Central Library, so he knew that the Ice Demon Spirit was actually an undead creature advanced from the resentful soul. This advancement may be driven by the environment, or it may be caused by a necromancer who spent his hard work and casting rituals.
When Charle's eyes passed by the altar under the feet of the Ice Demon Spirit, the reason for the generation of the Ice Demon Spirit was determined.
Moreover, the evil altar is very likely to offset the damage he caused to the Ice Demon Spirit by dispelling the holy law.
"It's a bit difficult." Charles sighed in his heart, clenched the hilt slightly, and simply threw away the calm skin, and shouted: "Spell casting profession, you have been holding your skills until now, and the spell bar must be full..."
"Now, just aim me at the Ice Demon Spirit's brainless spell!"
"Don't have any interval!"
"Physical attack professions should note that the Ice Demon Spirit will convert between virtual bodies and entities at a time. When the Ice Demon Spirit is physical, the physical profession has no brain output. When the virtual body is transformed, it will fully protect the spell casting profession. Those are two fixed output turrets and cannot be lost."
"Then... leave all the monsters to me!"
Charles showed a terrifying lung capacity that was completely opposite to his delicate image, and threw out such a long list of commands in one breath.
The whole team was stunned and had a wonderful expression.
After saying that, Charle did not pause at all. While hanging his sword back to his waist, he called out the wooden holy emblem in the inventory and recited the dispersion spell.
evil.
Retreat—
The air in the ice chamber was husking, and the sacred light spread out from the soles of Charles' boots. Twenty-eight skeletons and zombies were like being blown away by a storm and fell to the ground.
But because of the existence of the evil altar in the Ice Room, the power of this dispersal spell was at least greatly weakened. Shire has 2 priest levels. According to the normal dispersal check, the level 2 immortal minions will definitely be destroyed.
Now, the zombies of this large group of skeletons were just overturned. After the dispersion spell disappeared, they struggled to get up one by one.
"continue!"
Shir gritted his teeth and held up the holy emblem of the God of Knowledge, and the scroll emblem on it condensed the holy light.
He knew that the Ice Demon Spirit floating on the altar had noticed him and was very likely to attack him first. Like other soul-body undead creatures, the Ice Demon Spirit has terrible agility attributes. Perhaps it only takes the blink of an eye to seriously injure him with a cold attack.
But Charles had assigned a task, and he believed that those teammates who were not rookies knew what to do.
So he just needs to concentrate on dealing with these immortal minions.
