Chapter 402 Vitality
Herag didn't expect the old man to be so fragile. He slapped his head off with one slap.
He could sense that this was a crystal wizard through the fluctuations of magic power on the old man.
He originally just wanted to get close to the old man at a very fast speed and then severely injure the old man.
Who would have thought that the old man was already very weak.
The old man's feather pen just now not only used blood as ink, but also his own vitality.
When he finished carving, the fire of life was about to go out.
"What if you kill me? The passage has been opened and you can't stop it." After the old man's head rolled to the side, he stared at Herag and continued to talk.
Herag had dealt with the Abyss Cultists so much that he was no longer surprised. He knew that the old man must be relying on the power of monsters to maintain his vitality.
He turned his head and looked at the big fat worm and David in the witch array.
The big fat worm was quickly shrinking like a deflated balloon.
After observing for a while, Herag found that the big fat worm seemed to have a lot of life force stored in its body.
These life forces poured out from its body and were absorbed by the witch array below, without a single drop of waste.
Herag soon realized something. These life forces were one of the energy sources for activating the witch array.
He certainly couldn't watch the witch array absorb the life force in the worm's body, otherwise something bad would definitely happen.
But the life force flowed out, and it seemed that there was no good way to stop it.
This kind of thing is invisible, and I'm afraid that only wizards who specialize in the necromancy can have some means to deal with it.
Herag thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was a talent of desolate plague in the blood he absorbed.
This talent can absorb the life force of other life forms, thereby enhancing its own vitality.
Herag has not used it so far, because this is obviously an ability from the abyss plane, and he doesn't want to use it easily.
But now in the polluted area, it doesn't matter, and David is one of us.
More importantly, the situation is urgent and there is no time to delay. If the magic array completely absorbs the vitality, who knows what will happen.
"I have been preparing for several years, and finally I have accumulated enough vitality in this way. It is difficult to kill so many people at once. Franz failed after planning for so long."
"But I am different. I keep accumulating vitality. As long as I get enough in the end, it will be fine. Now, everything is ready!"
The old man seemed very proud and satisfied with his plan, with a smug expression.
Herag ignored him, appeared in the magic array in a flash, and then grabbed the big fat worm. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎
The old man saw this scene and laughed disdainfully: "It's useless, you can't kill it. If you kill it, it will only make the vitality in its body pour out faster."
Herlag ignored the old man's words, grabbed the big fat worm, and then used the innate ability of the desolate plague.
Suddenly, Herag felt a very pure life energy continuously transmitted from the big fat worm.
As soon as he saw that there was a chance, he immediately increased the intensity of absorption, and the speed of absorbing vitality became faster and faster.
The big fat worm was already shrinking rapidly, and after being sucked by Herag, the speed of shrinking suddenly became much faster.
The witch array on the ground was also absorbing vitality, and Herag was also absorbing it here. The two sides seemed to be competing for the vitality in the big fat worm.
The talent of Desolate Plague was even more powerful than Herag had imagined. He absorbed vitality much faster than the witch formation under his feet.
However, in just a few tens of seconds, 60% of the remaining vitality in the big fat worm was absorbed by him, and the remaining 40% was absorbed by the witch formation under his feet.
After being absorbed by Herag, these vitality were immersed in various parts of his body.
Herag didn't feel much now, just felt very energetic.
He knew that his life span should have increased a lot, but he didn't know how much it had increased.
With such a large amount of vitality, it was unknown how many people this old man had harmed.
The old man looked at this scene and opened his mouth in surprise: "You...how did you do it?"
Vitality is not something that anyone can absorb if they want to. Except for some spells of the necromancy system, most people can't do it.
The vitality of normal people has an upper limit, that's all.
A first-level wizard only has a life span of 300 years, which is not even comparable to many powerful monsters.
Compared with many races, the vitality of humans is too weak.
So when the old man saw that Herag could absorb life force without limit, he was a little confused.
Herag didn't care about the old man, because after the life force in the big fat worm was all poured out, the old man would gradually die.
What he needed to do now was to take David away from this place immediately.
Because the magic array did not absorb enough life force, it spontaneously absorbed the life force of Herag and David standing on it.
Herag walked over quickly, picked up David and quickly left the magic array area.
Although David was also quite sturdy, he was like a little chicken compared to Herag, who was more than four meters tall.
Herag took out some healing potions from the space ring and gave them to David to prevent his injuries from worsening.
"Herag, why are you here?" David was a little tongue-tied, and hesitated for a long time before asking this question.
"I heard that an airship crashed here, and you were on the airship, so I came to find you. I brought you here, and I can't let you die like this, right?" Herag smiled.
David was very grateful in his heart. Although he had a lot to say, he also knew that now was not the time to reminisce.
After Herag treated David's injuries briefly, he picked up David and prepared to leave.
He glanced at the witch formation next to him.
Although the witch formation did not absorb enough vitality, the vitality absorbed before was enough for it to start.
The black vortex above the witch formation has become very large, and a crack can be vaguely seen in the vortex.
Herag felt the breath emanating from the crack, which was the breath from the abyss plane.
This kind of small crack is generally automatically repaired by the power of the plane because there is not enough energy support.
However, if someone on the other side of the small crack actively expands the crack, it will be different.
The magic array here is still running, and the small crack is gradually expanding with the power from the crack.
Herag condensed several fireballs to destroy the magic array on the ground, but it didn't work.
This magic array has already taken shape, and the only way to destroy it is the same as before, analyzing its structure and then cracking it.
