Chapter 240 Jörmungandr (Update)
Xie Lin took a few steps back to relieve the pressure on himself, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He most likes to see this kind of relationship similar to "old enemy" or "natural enemy". The pressure brought by old enemies and natural enemies is often the key motivation for progress and advancement.
He opened his mouth and made a hissing sound. The pendant box flashed with a green light, floated into the air, opened the lid, and revealed the silhouette of a basilisk.
Susan's power suddenly went out of control.
An ivory-white skeleton suddenly appeared around her and surrounded her. The skeleton slowly grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it was as big as a pure-blood giant, one level taller than Hagrid. times. Susan gently floated off the ground and stood at about the position of her heart between her ribs. (See this chapter)
Suddenly, the skeleton let out a soft cry, and the entire skeleton suddenly ignited with purple flames, looking ferocious and terrifying. The two empty eye sockets on the skull's head each ignited a beating purple flame, as if they were alive, staring at the basilisk ghostly figure.
The locket's basilisk shadow ability is incomplete, and it can only petrify the creatures it sees through its gaze. This was the result of Xie Lin's sacrifice of a large amount of the basilisk's flesh and blood, as well as the basilisk's pair of snake eyes. Otherwise, the ability of the basilisk's shadow would have been even worse before that.
Under the gaze of the two purple flames, the basilisk ghost screamed in waves, as if it was in great pain.
Xie Lin watched the changes in the basilisk's shadow intently. The basilisk's phantom kept struggling and screaming. The phantom also gradually faded, as if its power was rapidly losing. As long as the power was lost, the basilisk's phantom would no longer The shadow will no longer exist.
"What are you doing?" Aquila shouted coldly. It and the basilisk shadow are actually the same kind to a certain extent. At this moment, it can empathize with the latter's pain. "If this continues, the basilisk will not be able to hold on. Gone forever!"
"Don't worry, I have my own opinion." Xie Lin said calmly, as if he didn't care.
The biggest difference between Basilisk Shadow and Aquila is that the latter is sane while the former is not. Even though it is such a small difference, it is a huge gap in Xie Lin's eyes. The basilisk shadow can only be regarded as a weapon at best. It cannot understand Xie Lin's thoughts like Aquila, let alone become comrades with Xie Lin and cooperate with each other to deal with the enemy with a tacit understanding of spiritual communication.
Just when the basilisk's shadow faded to only a hazy shadow, Xie Lin shouted loudly in snake language: "Basilis, the king of snakes, are you willing to perish like this!"
The basilisk gave out its last mournful cry, which was long and tragic, seeming to express its strong resentment and unwillingness.
"If that's the case, then I'll help you!" Xie Lin took out his wand and read the spell loudly: "Call the gods to protect you!"
An ancient dragon with a colorful luster all over its body, carrying the power of wind and thunder, descended in front of Xie Lin and let out a deafening roar. The ancient giant dragon chanted the mysterious ancient dragon language, and its whole body was shrouded in a halo of seven different colors, and it flew towards the purple flame giant.
The skeleton giant and the colorful dragon collided head-on.
The giant punched the dragon on the head, but at the same time, the dragon's claws also scratched the ribs on the giant's chest.
Xie Lin made a slight move with his left hand, and the rib fragments still burning with purple flames floated in front of him. He started chanting in snake language——
"Swallow the bones of your old enemy, ignite your will, and allow you to be reborn!"
The basilisk phantom jumped up with all its strength, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the entire rib fragment in one fell swoop!
Xie Lin used his wand to dig out a piece of bloody flesh on his right arm, threw the flesh and blood to the basilisk shadow, and continued to chant——
"Fusing the host's flesh and blood to make up for your flaws and allow you to build your sanity!"
As soon as Xie Lin's flesh and blood came into contact with the basilisk shadow, it was directly dissolved and absorbed. The outline of the basilisk shadow began to become faintly visible, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
"I have done what I have to do, and the rest depends on your will!" Xie Lin shouted: "King of snakes, if you survive, I will name you Jormungandr!"
With a bang, the basilisk silhouette ignited green flames, and then its body grew longer and larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually becoming as big as the Purple Flame Giant.
Xie Lin withdrew the dragon patron saint and whispered in snake language: "Go! Jörmungandr, this is your fateful battle!"
Jörmungandr glided in front of the purple flame giant and confronted it. When the purple flame giant saw the phantom of the basilisk, it became even more violent than before. But Susan, floating in the center of the ribs, remained motionless, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Purple Flame Giant quickly fought fiercely with Jörmungandr. On the surface, the two were about the same strength, but Schelling could see that Jörmungandr was fighting with his own will. He had just been forged with a strong will. Having lost its sanity, the more it fights, the more energetic it becomes. It can be said that the more it fights, the stronger it becomes.
On the other hand, the Purple Flame Giant is fighting against the host's will, and Susan's bloodline power is slowly being consumed over time, so the Purple Flame Giant's momentum is slowly weakening as the battle progresses, and it will only be defeated sooner or later. thing.
Just when Jörmungandr finally succeeded in binding the purple flame giant's arms and body with its long snake body, intending to crush it with extremely strong entanglement, Schelling stopped.
"Big guy with purple flames, although I don't know where you are from," Schelling's voice was not loud, but it rang clearly throughout the entire Slytherin chamber, "I want to tell you that times have changed. ——”
"We are not enemies." Xie Lin pointed to Susan's position, and then pointed to himself, "She and I, your host, are friends and comrades fighting side by side."
"We have a common and great ideal. For this we need all the strength. She and I both need your strength," Xie Lin said seriously. "As long as you are willing to put down your hatred, I can promise you that you will definitely do it." Be kind to your host and treat her like my family, otherwise——"
Xie Lin raised his wand and pointed the end of the wand in the direction of Susan. His flashing red eyes were full of the darkest cruelty, and he said in a cold voice without any emotion: "Although I may It’s very painful, but you and she will disappear from this world today, believe me, I can do it, and you can’t stop me in your current state.”
The purple flame giant's body has been bound by the huge snake body so much that it has no ability to struggle. It remained motionless at first, then slowly nodded in the direction of Xie Lin after a long while, and finally the purple flames in its eyes Extinguished, the entire skeleton turned into invisible magic and returned to Susan's body.
Aquila watched the whole process from the side, and was dumbfounded at the moment, "With just a few simple operations, you made these two forces put aside their past grievances and use them both for you?"
Xie Lin showed a mean smile and responded: "Whether it is Jörmungandr or the Purple Flame Giant, they all used my blood in the process of awakening. As far as magic rituals are concerned, it can be said that they all owe Saved my life."
"The most important thing is," Xie Lin's voice had a hint of coldness, "No matter how sharp or powerful, weapons that cannot be used by me can be discarded, and I will not let them have the opportunity to backfire on me. They should also understand this. The moment they used my blood as a ritual sacrifice, their fate was already determined."
Xie Lin reached out and made a move, and Jörmungandr turned into a green light and was absorbed into the pendant box.
["Summoned Beast" Jörmungandr is obtained! 】
At this time, Susan rubbed her somewhat hazy eyes, looked at the destroyed scenes around her, and asked in confusion: "What just happened?"
"I have to congratulate you here, Susan." Xie Lin said sincerely, "This rosy wand is very suitable for you. I'm afraid you will be interested in using it to cast magic, especially defensive magic. Unexpected and terrifying increase. At the same time, have you noticed anything different about yourself?”
Susan checked her body carefully and cheered in surprise: "My magic power has increased! At least 10% more than before."
"That's right, you are no worse than Zhang Qiu in terms of magic power alone. It can even be said that compared with the young Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, you are also one of the best." Sherrington paused and added : "Now you are a strong man who can stand alone."
"You know? I have seen your hard work all the time," Xie Lin said sincerely: "I am very grateful that you believe in me so much and are willing to pay so much for my unrealistic ideal. Now the facts have proved Yes, I saw you right, you are no worse than anyone else in Mianlong Society."
"Ah, really?" Susan's cheeks turned red. She had always felt inferior. Although no one has ever said it, she is self-aware. Looking at the performance of other core cadres in Mianlong Club, she knows that she is the weakest one. This was the first time that she was praised by Xie Lin. She lowered her head shyly, not knowing how to place her hands.
"You just fell into a deep sleep, and you don't know yet-" Xie Lin looked at Susan and said seriously: "You have awakened a quite remarkable bloodline talent..."
"Are you talking about me?" Susan immediately raised her head and pointed at her face with her finger, "Blood talent? But, I heard from my aunt that our Bones family does not have blood talent?"
"Yes, I won't lie to you. What Aunt Leia said is right," Xie Lin explained. "The bloodline talent you awakened is so rare. The last time it appeared was more than two thousand years ago. In ancient Greece, a wizard named Andros the Invincible..."
"I know him! I still have his chocolate frog drawings." Susan's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, "You mean, the power I awakened came from him?" Susan knew that Andros was in his Era is a representative of invincibility. If you inherit the power of his bloodline, it means how much potential you have.
"Yes," Schelling explained: "This power is called the 'Holy Spirit Skeleton'. It uses magic to stimulate the power in the blood, and materializes a humanoid skeleton as huge as a pure-blood giant to protect itself. Due to the amazing defensive power of the skeleton, this ability also has another name, called 'Absolute Defense'."
"As long as you master this secret, you will probably be the most powerful charge force in the Sleeping Dragon Society," Xie Lin said, "You will be the patron saint of all of us!"
Susan Bones, her family name is Bones, which means bones.
