Chapter 2412 Time Pause and Hypnosis
Chapter 2413 Time Suspension and Hypnosis
Shade thought to himself, and walked down the stairs with Miss Elise. The cold fog became thicker and thicker in the "anterior hall" of the catacombs, and then the closed stone door that was locked from the inside was pushed open. Amidst the strange "squeaking~" sound, a man holding a rusty broadsword was seen in the open door. The skeleton struck at Shade head-on.
Both Shad and Miss Elise looked calm, so the phantom skeleton disappeared directly after passing through Shad's body.
Looking inside again, the cold white mist lingering in the dim tomb corridor has seriously affected the vision. Glowing white ghosts wander among them, and occasionally you can hear the strange sounds of skeletons and ghouls moving around.
"Illusion plus some necromancy. Although the technique is very clever, it is still not particularly strong."
Miss Eliaser judged:
"Do you need me to break the ritual? I can transform into the dragonborn form and roar."
"No, no, I'm worried that forcibly breaking the ritual will destroy what we are looking for. Moreover, I also want to see who is trapped here."
As he spoke, Shade raised his right hand. After a faint aura emerged in the palm of the hand, the aura condensed into a luminous white transparent crystal above the palm.
Under the pull of the spell, the white transparent crystal floated around Shade and Miss Elise. As Shade gently touched his hand, the moonlight adhered to the crystal, making its light shine brighter - this was the basic application of the "Light Technique".
The crystal rotated clockwise in the air, so the cold mist within two meters in front of them disappeared, the wandering spirits disappeared, and the strange sounds disappeared. In fact, there was nothing but dust in the corridor in front of them.
"Let's go."
Shade waved to Miss Elise:
"Don't worry about looking for things first, let's go see who is here."
In order to prevent tomb robberies, the underground tomb area of the Wright family, which has a history of nearly a thousand years, was built like a maze, but "strong spatial perception" is most effective for this kind of terrain.
Miss Elise blocked out the voices and footsteps of the two of them, and the two of them walked deeper into the tomb. The rotating crystal provided moonlight for illumination. During this period, in addition to the illusions broken by the crystal, there were also ancient corpses and ancient resentful spirits that were resurrected due to the activation of the ritual and walked out of the tomb chambers of different sizes on the side of the tomb corridor, but they were all Miss Elisa waved her hand and dispersed.
The person trapped here was deep in the tomb passage. Before the two of them saw anyone, they heard violent crashing sounds.
When I got closer, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses, leaning on the side wall of the corridor with a slight fear. The luminous badge-shaped relic hanging on his chest created a transparent eggshell shape. The shield protects him, while two wraiths, two ghouls and a skeleton wearing armor and holding a sword are taking turns hitting the shield, using their own power to try to weaken the power of the shield.
Wraiths and corpses are not very strong, but the skeleton wearing armor can be classified as a "special undead". It is probably the strongest "gravekeeper" left by the ancient ring warlocks of the Wright family. Although the undead just swings its sword and constantly hits the shield, judging from the quality of its soul, in a place like the tomb that is suitable for its survival, This thing can be regarded as a sixth- or seventh-ring warlock.
As for the middle-aged man who looked pale and looked like he had consumed too much, he looked like he had five rings.
The blue-eyed girl glanced at Shade, who gestured at her to tell her not to come out, and then walked out from the corner of the tomb corridor.
He didn't deliberately hide himself, so the man wearing glasses saw Shade at once.
Of course, the undead also noticed the appearance of another stranger. But on the premise that they already had an attack target, they did not choose to attack Sha De, who had the "blessings of thousands of souls".
"Sir, no matter who you are, for the sake of being a living person, can you save me?"
Although he had no hope, the man with his back against the wall still asked Shade for help.
"OK."
Shade immediately nodded, first pressed the badge on his chest, and then pointed his finger forward:
"Sunrays."
With the trembling of his fingers, the blazing golden positive energy light stream cut the two corpses and the two resentful spirits diagonally into two sections. The resentful spirit shattered in the piercing screams, and the corpse's body burst into flames.
The only skeleton that seemed okay was because the armor blocked the solar energy. After Shade launched the attack, he turned around and slashed at him with a knife.
Shade casually threw out a ray of scarlet moonlight, and the skeleton's sword collided with it. The moonlight shattered the sword like a broken bamboo, broke open its armor, and almost cut it in half.
But it had no chance to continue. After the armor was broken, a blazing stream of positive energy swept over. So the skeleton's lower body, which was gradually burning, kept running forward, ran a few more steps before falling heavily to the ground, and its upper body fell directly to the same place.
The skeleton disappeared in the burning fire. Shade continued to move forward with the [Angel Right Arm] in his hand, and the trapped man wearing glasses finally withdrew the shield formed by the relic out of breath. , then as if his legs could not support his body, he slowly sat down with his back against the wall:
"Thank you for saving me."
After trying his best to squeeze out the words of thanks from his throat, he took off the pendant from his neck and wanted to throw it to Shade, but Shade stopped him:
"Keep your own belongings away. I'm not a robber. You just need to answer a few questions from me."
If he says this from the beginning, the man may hesitate. But Shade has already helped him solve a big problem, and he himself feels that he can't refuse:
"Excuse me. If you can answer it, I will definitely answer it. If you can't answer it, just kill me."
"Actually, there is no need to fight and kill. What organization do you belong to? Don't tell me, you are just an unlucky guy who robs tombs alone."
The man smiled bitterly:
"Don't be joking, oh, my name is Claude Binns. All I can say is that I am a local and my organization is also a local organization. What is your next step to ask me about? I want you and my The purpose should be the same, I’m looking for the relics left by the former Ring Warlock of the Wright family, the Ring Warlock who designed this trap.”
He paused and added hastily:
"It's not a relic that contains the element of whispers, it's his real relic. My organization is actually very shabby, and we don't have many people. I originally thought that it would be enough for me to come alone, but I almost died here."
He didn't need to ask Shade at all. He knew exactly what Shade wanted to ask:
“The relic I used is a clerical-level relic [Graverobber’s Despicable Medal], which my friend bought on the local black market not long ago.
Adding a little luck to the cemetery environment allows spirits that were originally inaccessible to be directly contacted. Of course, the biggest use is to form the shield you see, but once the attack exceeds the upper limit, the user's mental power, blood, and soul will be absorbed. The negative characteristic is that it is easy to resurrect the nearby undead, and it is easy to attract the attacks of the undead. It is for this reason that they were still on my side after you appeared just now. "
In fact, it was due to the superposition of two aspects, but Shade did not need to explain this.
"I thought I would be foolproof with this, but my bad luck triggered the trap. I never imagined that someone would perform a ritual of reviving the dead in their family cemetery."
"You've already said it, what else can I say?"
Shade looked him up and down:
"Yuewan City is the same as kings such as Willondale and Tobesk. Because of the importance of the city, the church's control is particularly strict, so there are not many who are qualified to call themselves a 'local ring warlock organization'.
I remember that there were two groups of ring warlocks on the pier that were mutual aid groups. There was a black market that met regularly in the forest north of the city. There was also a group of people in the lower city, but they were wanted by the church because they believed in asexual reproduction. There are a few besides them, but they are not big in scale. Which one do you belong to? "
The man slumped against the wall just shook his head:
"I can't say that I won't betray the organization."
Shade heard Miss Eleser's low cough from behind, so he thrust his sword into the ground, reached into his pocket with his left hand to hold the women's pocket watch, and pointed forward with his right hand:
“Time stands still for Adele.”
Then he turned around and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"It's just five rings. Asking questions doesn't need to be so troublesome."
The girl with blue eyes stepped out of the darkness:
"I am a twelve-level warrior, so I can still do this. It is not a rapidly changing battlefield, so I have plenty of time to prepare to cast spells."
She just prepared a little before nodding towards Shade, and the moment Shade lifted the pause in time, those sea-blue eyes already lit up:
"What organization do you belong to?"
The middle-aged man who was completely unable to resist because "time stood still" immediately said with a dull expression:
"Light Eternal Light."
"How do you hide your fate?"
Shade asked again, but this time he didn't get an answer. It seemed that the man in front of him didn't know about it.
So Shade cast another spell to stop the opponent's time. After Miss Eleser retreated into the darkness, he released the spell again. Although this consumes a lot of energy, as Miss Eleser said, this is not a battlefield. Shade will be able to fully recover after a while:
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
He said to the man who was completely unaware of what was happening, but felt that something was wrong but didn't know what was wrong:
"Tell me the clues about the relics left by the ring sorcerer and how you got the clues, and then leave here. I don't think you are still coveting the relics of the ancient ring sorcerer."
