Chapter 544 542 The Army From the Shadow Kingdom
Chapter 544 542. Army from the Shadow Kingdom
The speculation that he was more compatible with dark magic made Lu Yu fall into deep thought. Since he entered the magic world, the one he has used most is wind magic. His escape and defense are both top-notch. He has always believed that if he really has a focus, it must be A wind attribute that was a hit on the first cast.
"Dark...me?"
Lu Yu, who was still struggling, heard another "little thing" that Orkus mentioned casually.
"Necromantic magic also began to flourish in Mostana."
Like a momentum, necromancers are awakening everywhere.
Lu Yu just sighed lightly about the topic of undead and did not continue the discussion. Instead, he asked about another matter.
"What do you think of the redhead?"
"Leng Ao, with a clear sense of distance when dealing with others, and a clear sense of superiority in conversation. When getting along with me, he will only break the silence when talking about some book collections. He is obviously not interested in most of the daily topics I raise... If you have to say it, see He looks like an extremely pure magician."
"Do you think her innocence is just a drama to show us and numb us, or is this still the reality?"
"My intuition tells me...it's not like what she acted. If she can really act like this, then her scheming is far beyond that of her peers."
"Can you fight for it?" Lu Yu asked solemnly.
Orkus looked embarrassed. He covered his lips, rubbed them gently for a while, and said uncertainly: "She firmly believes that pioneers must compete cruelly, and is only interested in equal exchanges, but... … She was very curious about the fact that we were able to work together so closely, and she made a few insinuations, as if she wanted to know how we built that initial trust.”
Lu Yu tapped his shoulder with his tentacles, and both of them understood each other tacitly.
After Lu Yu left, the temple once again returned to its former peace.
The red-haired man was still reading the collection of books brought by Orkus.
Pink Butterfly and Snake Man silently observed and understood the existence of the temple, and like Lu Yu, tried to move to higher places. In their view, this temple must contain further ultimate secrets.
…
…
The jet-black wings of the flying dragon flapped gently, and the strong wind swept across the ground, rolling up yellow-brown smoke.
The ink-like flame pillar spurted out from the dragon's head, and the three flying dragons flew past the ground, letting the ink color spread behind them, and then they lifted up, turned around, and did it again.
The gray spirits that followed the shadow dragon quickly fell into a heavy fog, and the ubiquitous ink corroded their ethereal spirit bodies, like termites gnawing at furniture, making "squeaking" sounds one after another.
When the shadow dissipated, the gray spirit disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only countless bursts of turbulent magic power, destroying the surroundings wantonly.
"Handsome!"
Lulu used her tentacles to applaud the three flying dragons that were performing roller maneuvers in the air to avoid attacks from the Black Corpse Society magicians below.
After clearing away some of the most dangerous spirits, Sanmeiqiu went straight into the magician's camp, relying on his strong physical fitness to consume spells one after another. He kept waving his tentacles and killed one apprentice after another who was obviously being used as cannon fodder. Pierce, tear into pieces.
Since you join the Black Corpse Society for the power of the undead, you must have the awareness to face the annihilation of the living.
San Meiqiu didn't intend to leave anyone alive. Even if the other party moved out of his mind and had parents to support him at home, he would still treat them with indifference. Their last mercy was to make their death less painful.
There are still only a few people begging for mercy. Now the Black Corpse Society has become a fanatical religious organization. Most of the apprentices who have been deeply brainwashed firmly believe that after death, they can go to the God of Disaster and Death, obtain a new form of the dead, and return to the world. this world.
"Death is their end, but it is our ladder."
Several batches of apprentices chanting this slogan have launched suicide attacks against Sanmei Qiu. They have even raised insect eggs in their bodies that can swallow magic power and use them to self-destruct, as well as host spirits that can affect San Mei Qiu's mind.
Recently, there have even been fanatic believers carrying several infant spirits on their bodies. Already delirious, they are shouting and attacking everything around them indiscriminately.
The apprentices of the Black Corpse Society became frightening warriors who were not afraid of death under the spell of strength and belief.
Lu Yu became more and more frightened as he fought. Even though the Shadow Kingdom showed more powerful power during this period, it still couldn't make him happy.
"If those of us who implement beheading tactics find it disgusting and difficult, then wouldn't the Theocracy and others..." Sera was very uneasy.
Sarah randomly handed over pieces of extremely dangerous magic to the Black Corpse Society, allowing them to scramble to learn it without mentioning the dangers involved. It was like handing over a loaded pistol. to children.
After killing all the fanatics present, Lu Yu floated on top of the bones that formed a hill. He whistled softly, and the shadow dragon in the air fell down upon hearing the sound.
Along with the magic power extending from Lu Yu's tentacles, the summoning ceremony rotated again, and the flying dragon turned into a wisp of ink and dispersed in the air. Where they disappeared, the headless horseman appeared silently.
Along with him is himself in shadow form, but the props he has at his disposal at this time are not only swords and staffs, but also a gray-white bone whistle tied to his neck.
Lu Yu strolled forward and grabbed the bone whistle before his other self squatted down.
"Lulu, can you see what it is?"
"This is like...a whistle used by some beast masters who control monsters."
Sera thought of something: "Not only beast masters, but many dragon masters who cannot become partners with flying dragons will also use the same method to control flying dragons."
In the flash of lightning, many confusions in Lu Yu's mind were solved.
"I see... No wonder this template is called [Shadow Kingdom]. This name must have come from her feeling the power of the template, but she didn't realize what power it actually contained."
Shadow substitutes, soldiers, headless horsemen, shadow mages, flying dragons...this is the configuration of the army!
"So, this shadow is actually..."
"It's the summoner's clone. If anything...its posture will tell the summoner which powers can be easily used. The more we master it, the stronger it will become."
[Shadow Kingdom] is undoubtedly a higher-level template than mimicry and elemental life. Its scalability and versatility exceed Lu Yu's imagination.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly understood why the red hair became a pioneer.
The red hair accidentally explored this template and mastered part of its power, which inadvertently promoted the exploration of the summoning rules and expanded its knowledge by a big step. In addition, he had good talents and abilities...
"Wait a minute, if Red Hair is recognized for advancing the development of summons in his own continent by exploring and mastering powerful templates, then wouldn't Pink Butterfly and Snake Man..."
Lu Yu felt hot all over his body and his eyes were bright.
There is a high probability that the other two pioneers also possess similar knowledge to [Shadow Kingdom]!
Now Lu Yu can be sure that the red hair is actually the owner of the innocent attribute as famous as Lulu. He actually used this knowledge to exchange for two mimicry templates... If Orkus wants to write a book, this paragraph must be written. .
…
…
In the temple, the red-haired woman sneezed violently. Because she was so forceful, she actually fell down while floating in the air, and the book fell straight to the ground.
"Fortunately, this is the consciousness space, otherwise I wouldn't lend you the book again." Orkus said, throwing the book to the red hair again.
The red-haired man thanked her reservedly, feeling annoyed in his heart: "How can my nose be so itchy in the conscious space...it's weird."
…
…
The beheading of Sanmei Qiu continued, but Lu Yu slowed down slightly compared to the previous speed.
The headless horseman galloped freely, tearing apart the corpses wantonly.
The shadow mage waved his staff and called for the attribute light.
The shadows were invisible, tearing apart the putrid bodies one after another silently.
The shadow dragon flew close to the ground, its flapping wings bringing up strong winds. Wherever the ink touched, the spiritual bodies were swept away.
Every fierce battle further deepened Lu Yu's connection with the template, and his consciousness seemed to have entered the shadow body that should have belonged to him.
Sera and Lulu no longer dared to say anything, for fear of disturbing Lu Yu's understanding of the Kingdom of Shadows.
The shadow mage disappeared silently, and the shadow substitute quietly exited.
It was as if there was something huge that looked at the earth as a war drum was beating. The ground shook violently, the gravel shook, and the corpses staggered, fell, and piled up.
"Enemy?" Sera looked around and found no particularly ferocious flesh-and-blood giant.
Lulu was still searching, but her eyes caught a glimpse of a huge thing rising from the darkness where the flying dragon had dispersed.
On Shadow Lu Yu's staff, a fist-sized crystal materialized from virtual reality, releasing a faint blue radiance, and the numerous facets reflected the bright light.
Like a mountain, blocking out the sky and the sun, Sanmei Ball could only look up at its body made entirely of boulders. The stone giant that appeared from the shadows was like a bulldozer, crushing all the physical corpses along the way into dust.
The headless horseman seemed to let out bursts of cheers, and the horses also neighed with excitement. They walked side by side, tightened their reins, rammed into the stone giant, easily passed through the shadow cast by him, and raised their weapons to kill those who planned to hit the stone with eggs. , the ants that interfere with the shadow giant's progress.
Through the Book of Knowledge, Lu Yu can also summon a giant, which is one of the self-defense magics that Lulu gave her. But this is the first time for him to control such a powerful and mana-saving giant.
With the close connection with the shadow himself, he can already clearly feel the weak message transmitted by the stone giant, and he can also control the shadow himself to hold the staff high, giving it more magical power.
The abundant magic power made the stone giant raise his arms high, and his illusory body solidified little by little.
The headless horsemen leaped high in unison, and the giant's arms hit the ground with a devastating force.
The ground shook and the mountains shook. San Meiqiu felt the thunder booming in his ears again, his whole body was buzzing, and smoke was swirling around him. The ground where he was hit had already cracked, and an unknown number of corpses fell into the cracks.
"Okay, this is good!"
Lu Yu, who had always longed to control a huge, human-like summoned object to realize his dream, couldn't help shouting, and his tentacles danced happily.
The original intention of summoning the flesh and blood chariot is to see the walking giant, and it is best to be able to enter and control it personally.
Summoning the piano, the small box even held the thought of getting into it and experiencing the whole battle from the perspective of an observer.
There are still technical shortcomings in combining elemental summons and splicing them into elemental giants, and they have not been able to take shape...
Along the way, Lu Yu carried simple thoughts and constantly tried to realize a dream for himself, but he never succeeded.
But today, he saw new possibilities and hopes in this big guy from the Kingdom of Shadows, and those silent thoughts that had ceased to vibrate became hot again.
As if he felt Lu Yu's approval, the shadow stone giant roared, and with the only headless knight who could accompany him, he annihilated all the undead creatures around him one by one with a crushing force. His thunderous footsteps resounded through the land, leaving only blood, mud and ashes.
Unable to help but fly to the top of the giant, Lu Yu, who was looking down, shouted happily.
Sera murmured: "How old are you? Isn't it just a big giant? I have seen bigger ones than this, and they didn't lose their composure like this. Be steady, be steady."
"Sera, you don't understand... Anyway, you don't understand." Lu Yu laughed.
Lulu actually didn't quite understand Lu Yu's obsession. She had heard that there were very huge steel creatures in Lu Yu's world. Judging from the description, they were even more majestic than the stone giants and mud giants here. How could he be as happy as a child?
But she wouldn't ask out loud like Sera. No matter what he was happy about, she was also happy when Lu Yu was happy.
…
…
“Hey, have you heard that although the battle between the Church and the Black Corpse Society resulted in heavy casualties, it seems that a more terrifying monster has appeared in the Black Corpse Society’s dead zone.”
“A more terrifying monster, could there be something scarier than the flesh and blood deformities created by the Black Corpse Society?” The people in the tavern didn’t believe it and looked disdainful.
"Don't disbelieve me, this is the news from the messenger of the Church. He said that he encountered a black and gray giant that moved like a mountain while going deep into the hinterland. In the hazy fog, he even saw a large number of headless knights accompanying him. Wherever he went, the corpses were annihilated."
"Not only that, he also witnessed a strange insect that could constantly devour spirits, and a strange birdman with wings and naked body that hatched after the insect died. That birdman is very powerful. He can manipulate spirits to fight with another group of spirits, and can also turn all the approaching skeleton army into his servants."
In the tavern, people whispered to each other. If someone else spread such a bizarre statement, it would definitely cause a burst of disdainful ridicule, but what the messenger of the Church said was very credible.
"Is there an internal conflict in the Black Corpse Society?"
"Such a weird thing, it must be the product of their own tinkering, right?"
"It is also possible. I heard that the Black Corpse Society attacked the major sects before with two people acting together... So it seems that Sarah and another leader of the Black Corpse Society have torn their faces?"
Sarah covered her face and sighed lightly, no longer paying attention to these words. She took out the map in her hand and confirmed this uninhabited place with the guide who was paid a lot of money beside her.
In order to find this special place, she spent a lot of effort.
"For me, useless things have to work harder and make him reveal more cards."
