Chapter 358: Deformation
Last time, Senna had gained a lot from blocking the plane channel to enter the dead world. Not only did he get the legendary soul crystal and exchange it for a precious legendary resource, he also mastered the ancient wizard text from Richard, comprehended many magic techniques of the ancient wizard civilization, and creatively developed a new legendary magic. Relying on the accumulation of the last time, Senna has made a step forward on the road of magic in just over ten years.
A legendary second-level magician is also a top figure in the Dawn Church.
There are less than 20 legendary professionals in the headquarters of the Dawn Church, most of whom are knights and warriors, and there are only seven legendary mages and priests. If Senna had not had a bad relationship with the Pope of Dawn, he would have gone to the headquarters and been promoted to cardinal.
Archbishop Senna is a legendary second-level magician, and his combat power is second to none in the Grant Kingdom. Because of his profession, Duke Jonathan is far from his opponent.
With Senna presiding over the situation, Richard also made up his mind and prepared to participate in the exploration of the ruins together. If Senna is unwilling to take action, Richard will not act rashly. He can only continue to strengthen the troops here and lock the entrance of the ruins.
Because the entrance is only a dozen meters wide, it is useless to let too many people enter, so only a dozen masters are selected for this exploration. Even the sixth-level Wendy and Sanders cannot participate in this operation.
In addition to Senna, Homera, Dunlekin, and Nilanpu, the four high-level magic professionals of the Dawn Church, the church also has five high-level warriors to provide protection for the magic professionals.
On the side of the Harland territory, Richard, Sofia, and Wendini must take action, and Sutton and Sylph must be added. In addition, the eighth-level warriors Soros, Grumman, and the seventh-level knight Wilde were all transferred to participate in this battle.
Three high-level elves stayed at the entrance of the cave, and served as support forces with Jennings, Roman, Vito, Sharp and others. Sanders and Wendy also served as reserves and stayed at the entrance of the cave.
In order to strengthen his attacking ability, Richard also asked for the lightning staff from Wendy. This time, when he went deep into the ruins, the Harland Territory and the Grant Parish of the Church of Dawn were almost all elite.
Everyone came to the crystal coffin and found that the crystal coffin was completely carved from a huge piece of white crystal. The crystal coffin contained powerful magic and a large number of magic inscriptions were engraved inside.
These inscriptions are completely different from the modern magic system. They should be some forbidden spells mastered by ancient wizards.
Richard stared at these inscriptions and recorded them all in his mind. He combined his knowledge and sighed in a low voice: "It looks like a spell like soul. It seems to involve soul transformation and the resurrection of the dead."
Archbishop Senna has more knowledge. He stared at these magic inscriptions and his face became very serious.
"Duke Richard is right. This is indeed a legendary forbidden magic life resurrection. This magic can bring the dead back and revive the dead. The effect is far better than the seven-ring magic resurrection."
Richard knew that the resurrection spell had very large restrictions and required a complete corpse, and the soul was nearby.
However, when high-level professionals fight, they often have to destroy the corpse after killing the opponent. The magician will even use forbidden spells to soak your soul, so that after death, the resurrection spell is basically useless.
But this legendary magic life resurrection can continuously provide energy to the soul and revive the soul of the dead.
Walking down the passage, the magician carefully released the zero-ring magic light spell to illuminate the surrounding environment.
Inside the walls along the way, there are piles of white bones, which seem to be the remains of a large battlefield.
After walking three or four miles, the space suddenly became vast, as if entering a wonderful underground space.
Richard released a mental power detection spell and found that the area of the space was more than ten square kilometers. There was actually a lake in the center and an underground waterfall on the side.
There were also some magical plants growing around the lake.
Richard took a deep breath and felt the magic in the lake. He found that this underground lake was actually a large magic well that had been transformed.
Large magic wells are very rare in the Dawn Plane.
Although the Harland Territory has built three magic towers and three artificial magic wells, these magic wells are small magic wells. There is not even a medium-sized magic well.
The Grant Kingdom Mage Association only has a medium-sized magic well. Large magic wells are already the standard for large forces in the Dawn Plane. Only large forces such as the Holy Glorious Empire, the Orc Alliance, and the Markholm Magic Kingdom have them.
Everyone carefully searched the ruins for a long time, and Richard and others picked some rare magic plants from the outside world.
For example, the moon grass that is everywhere here is relatively rare in the outside world and can only grow in some areas with strong negative energy.
In the center of the underground dark lake, there is a man-made building, which is piled with huge stones and engraved with magic arrays.
On top of the huge stone, there is also a small black coffin.
Richard and others were about to go up to study it, and suddenly a strong mental power fluctuation came into their minds.
"I advise you not to move forward."
Archbishop Senna stopped decisively and used mental power to pass the message to his opponent.
This method of transmitting information through mental power requires mental power of more than 50 points to send and receive. Generally speaking, the only people who can do this, apart from perverts like Richard, are masters like legendary magic professionals.
"Who are you, Princess Marta of Orfaran, or some strange monster?"
Another wave came over. "Of course I am Princess Marta of Orfaran."
This time, it was Richard who took the initiative to pass a message to his opponent.
"I don't think so. You are a deformed form left over from the Pale Calamity. Back then, you were going to possess Princess Marta of Orfaran, but the Orfaran organization discovered the abnormality and sealed it here."
Seeing that Richard could actually use his mental power to transmit messages, Archbishop Senna was a little shocked. He never expected that Richard's mental power would reach this level.
You should know that the ninth-level priest Homera is a famous ascetic monk in the church. After more than 80 years of accumulation, his mental power has just reached 42 points.
Richard has just been promoted to the seventh level, and his mental power has exceeded 50 points. When he is promoted to a legend, relying on his powerful magic, he will definitely be able to defeat his opponent.
Richard was possessed by a legendary lich that year. If it weren't for the mysterious silver connection in the mental power space, he might have become a deformed creature.
It is precisely because of this special experience that his guess is more reliable. But unlike what Richard thought, the aberration sealed in the coffin was dominated by the consciousness of Princess Oulan during the day.
"Of course I am Princess Marta of Oulan, but I can't suppress the undead creatures at night."
When the Oulan wizard organization fought against the Undead Lord, the Rule Wizard fell. Although the Pale Disaster defeated the opponent, he suffered a heavy blow and almost died. He also died at the hands of the legendary wizard of the Oulan organization.
This battle was a very important battle in the ancient wizard era. Although it was a long time ago, it was still vaguely recorded in the classics.
The reason why Richard knew it was mainly because he found murals and sculptures depicting this battle in the ruins of the floating city.
By studying these damaged murals and sculptures, Richard knew the process and victory of the battle that year. With some speculation, he finally saw through some of the truth.
Seeing that the aberration in the dark stopped talking, Senna waved his hand and stopped everyone.
The aberration involved the Undead Lord, so it must be difficult to deal with. Although this relic is of great value, Senna weighed the pros and cons and was unwilling to easily provoke his opponent.
Richard held the Starlight Necklace in his hand and conveyed his opinion to his opponent through mental fluctuations.
"We will not rashly destroy the seal, but please control the undead and do not easily leave the entrance of the relic cave. If you need anything, you can exchange it with us. We communicate once a year to trade the required resources."
In fact, Richard and others are afraid of both sides of Marta.
Princess Marta of Oufalan is of the same generation as Shao Gongyuan. They have fought several times. When Marta was active, she had seen the treasure of the Starlight Necklace and was very clear about the power of the starlight bomb.
Once Richard used the starlight bomb, it would inevitably collapse the cave and destroy the magic circle seal. At that time, the Pale Disaster would inevitably win, and Marta's soul would dissipate. Therefore, when Marta's soul consciousness is dominant, she will never fight with Richard and others.
"I can only agree to your request during the day, and another consciousness will take charge at night."
Hearing Marta say this, Richard immediately understood.
This special aberration is dominated by Maat's consciousness during the day, but at night, the consciousness will be dominated by Pale Disaster.
Although Pale Disaster's spiritual power is far superior to Marta, Pale Disaster was killed and lost the body of the Undead Lord, so his spiritual power can only be exerted by about 30%.
Marta also has a special artifact, which is very helpful for the battle of souls. Moreover, Marta also has the advantage of geography, with the help of magic circle to consume the power of the Undead Lord, and he is also a legendary fourth-level master.
In the battle between the two sides in Marta's body, Pale Disaster did not have an absolute upper hand. The two consciousnesses fought against each other and occupied half of the time.
After the war that year, O'Farland's wizards arranged a large magic circle to help Marta suppress the opponent, and then let them fall into sleep together.
Unexpectedly, after sleeping for more than 3,000 years, the large magic circle had problems. A year ago, the aberration woke up and gradually began to test.
In this year, the Undead Lord began to transform and awaken about 100,000 undead creatures.
Normally, if it is left alone, the scale of the undead disaster will expand to millions in three to five years, and the Grant Kingdom will not be able to resist it.
Fortunately, the Harland territory expanded to the vicinity of the ruins and discovered the abnormality in advance. Yesterday's battle consumed a lot of undead creatures.
After listening to the news revealed by Marta, Richard knew that once the seal was blown up with the starlight bomb, the Undead Lord would definitely set off the undead disaster again.
When the undead disaster is formed, the strength of the aberration will gradually recover. At that time, it must be the Pale Disaster that will destroy Marta's consciousness.
This scene appeared, which is of no benefit to the intelligent creatures in the Dawn Plane.
After discovering this undead ruins, as a responsible lord, Richard also has to find a way to repair the magic circle.
"Now there are some problems with the seal magic circle. How do we need to repair it?"
"You need to find a way by yourself. I have been confined here for too long. Even O'Farland has left this world. I don't have any good way here. Repairing the magic circle requires very complicated technology, which cannot be explained in one or two days.
But I need you to constantly consume the power of the undead at night. During the day, I will provide you with some help. Including using the magic resources here, and teaching you some magic knowledge as a reward. "
After successfully communicating with the deformed Marta, Richard followed Senna back to the cave entrance.
"Duke Harland, please rest assured, I will stay here to help you guard the cave entrance. The Dawn Church will build a large church here to help you deal with the undead creatures.
In the future, Duke Richard will control the magic well of the underground lake, hoping to build a magic channel for the church so that our priests and magicians can share some benefits. "
After hearing Senna's request from the Church of Dawn, Richard nodded happily.
With the help of the church, the pressure on Harland County can be greatly reduced.
After all, it involves powerful figures such as Princess O'Farland and the Lord of the Dead. If you are not careful, you will suffer a lot.
Now that Senna is personally guarding here, Richard can rest assured and return to Fort William to celebrate the Goddess's Birthday.
The reason why Senna is willing to stay here is probably to communicate with Matt, learn new knowledge, and master the magic technology of the ancient times. Of course, the Harland Mage Association also left masters in the ruins. Several presidents and vice presidents took turns to guard the entrance of the Undead Ruins, learn ancient magic knowledge with Archbishop Senna, and leave records.
Time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye. Because of the heavy casualties yesterday, the Pale Disaster did not command the undead to rush out of the cave.
But Richard and Senna and other high-level professionals took the initiative to enter the entrance of the mausoleum.
Found that the living rushed out, countless Skeletons swarmed out immediately.
Seeing this, Richard and Senna looked at each other and slowly began to retreat, using space to continuously kill undead creatures.
In this way, they fought and stopped all night, and roughly eliminated several thousand undead creatures.
Early the next morning, Richard immediately arranged for soldiers to pick up all the bones and remains at the entrance of the mausoleum.
The undead creatures controlled by the Pale Disaster are actually limited. In addition to transforming the intelligent creatures that died near the mausoleum, the Pale Disaster also controlled a small undead world.
This small undead world has an area of about 10,000 square kilometers. It is actually a large sub-plane, which was transformed into a undead world by the Pale Disaster, and more than 100,000 undead creatures have accumulated in it.
After two battles, the number of undead creatures that the Pale Disaster can control has actually been reduced by about a quarter.
Seeing that it could not solve the opponent, the Pale Disaster also did not want to consume strength, and easily fought with the Harland Territory and the Dawn Church, unless Richard and Senna were willing to go deep into the underground cave.
