Chapter 564 Chapter 561 New Ghost in the Shadow World

Complete the Void Annihilation Ball in half a month? Master Lich is very curious about Zhuang Xuteng's current progress.

"Completed the Disintegration Effect Sense training and then got stuck on the out-of-body spell control technique - luckily this step can be skipped."

"Your progress is only 20%, and the remaining 80% cannot be completed in half a month." Master Lich shook his head slowly.

"Regardless of whether it is completed or not, I have to go out." Zhuang Xuteng had his own insistence. He said: "It has been too long. People I know may think I am dead. Although I am afraid that the company is still looking to kill Kaho With Isabella’s murderers, I’m even more afraid that they have targeted me, but I’ve been afraid of them for more than half a year, and that’s enough.”

"Aren't you afraid anymore?"

"I'm still afraid. If I suddenly stop being afraid, I'm either a fool or a lunatic." Zhuang Xuteng said, "I just think that the time price paid for this is enough. It takes more than half a year's rest for them to give up and I think it's worth it to stop. If I continue to learn, practice and grow during this period, I will make a profit. But if the time continues to extend, I will feel that it is a loss. They will come eventually. If that’s the case, then trouble them—I’m not someone to be trifled with.”

The Lich Master was silent for a moment. Zhuang Xuteng's words reminded him of his ultimate revenge spell - he had been struggling for Zhuang Xuteng for long enough, which basically proved his importance and love for Zhuang Xuteng. Continuing to put it off will not make him less entangled; the time he spends allows him to face all the consequences, and he has achieved his inner requirements.

He said: "I still think you can't complete the Void Annihilation Ball in half a month, but I am willing to give you an incentive. If you can complete it, you can ask me for one thing, and I will work hard to complete it."

"Wow..." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his hands. The Lich Master has never made a similar promise, so this promise is particularly precious. Zhuang Xuteng is not stupid enough to make a wish now. The really smart thing to do is to study the spell immediately!

"Don't kill yourself in this half month." The Lich Master left these words, then turned around and flew towards the Mage Tower.

In the next half month, Zhuang Xuteng made full use of every second and devoted all his energy to spell research. With the continuous accumulation of practice, the Void Annihilation Ball gradually took shape. It was successfully controlled by Zhuang Xuteng in a state about the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, and could briefly float above the palm of his hand.

Such a small void annihilation ball has almost no lethality. Its greatest effectiveness is that it can peel off any matter of the same volume - it is useless, but it cannot be said that it is completely useless. The greatest significance of this small sesame mung bean is that Zhuang Xuteng has completed the construction of the basic structure of the void annihilation ball. The next work is to continuously strengthen it and fill the bones with organs, muscles and skin to make it full and plump.

Then Zhuang Xuteng discovered the real difficulty of this spell.

Since the Void Annihilation Sphere is extremely destructive, the only way to "build" it is to put in a lot of effort and invest mana regardless of the cost. This process is very similar to cultivating vengeful spirit spells such as vengeful spirit tentacles and vengeful spirit servants, except that the disintegration effect consumes a lot of mana. Zhuang Xuteng exhausted all his mana for a day - including the part that was replenished by constant meditation and eating - and could only produce "A sesame green bean."

Due to the large amount of floating and sinking in the air, small void annihilation balls cannot exist stably at all. Only after the core of the sphere is accumulated to the size of a fist can it become a stable offensive and defensive tool. According to the current progress, it is impossible for Zhuang Xuteng to complete the accumulation in less than two weeks remaining, so the Void Annihilation Ball will not be considered a success.

what can we do about it? Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, and then thought of a crooked idea.

Due to the destructiveness of the disintegration effect, the more complex the spell structure is, the faster it will be destroyed in front of it. Therefore, the internal structure of the void annihilation ball spell is extremely simple: use the spell control ability to store the disintegration effect and Perform positioning and compression; at the same time, use out-of-body control spell techniques to move the formed spell structure, so that it can be launched to form an attack effect.

The same structure, whatever is stuffed inside is what it is. Zhuang Xuteng can stuff resentment into it, and it will become a resentment balloon; stuff it with ghosts, and it will become a ghost ball. However, neither resentment nor ghosts have the effect of condensation and strengthening. After becoming a magic ball, their power will not increase, but will become weaker due to reduced mobility. But there is another force out there that is suitable for being compressed, and it is no less threatening.

"Erosion", Zhuang Xuteng focused on this thing.

He wanted to find a way to see if he could use necrosis as the core and cover it with a disintegrated shell. This kind of "Erosion Annihilation Ball" does not have absolute lethality, but it may be very useful in the film world to deal with the company's pioneering team. Using the disintegration effect to penetrate the Pioneers' defense and transport the necrotic power in is almost like injecting highly toxic poison directly into the human body.

"No matter what, I have to spend mana to enrich my spells. Let's give it a try by the way." After Zhuang Xuteng made up his mind, he relied on his mastery of high-speed and high-burst implants, his stealth ability and nerve response speed to be fast enough, so he sneaked in secretly. Go to the Wall of Sighs, prepare yourself and teleport out.

He lay down before going out and lay down after going out. He immediately stood still, covered himself with the Thousand Eyes Cloak, used Wraith Jelly to detect the surroundings, and hid as fast as possible.

The wind filled with the power of eclipse was howling. The nearest pioneer team was more than 500 meters away. They did not notice Zhuang Xuteng hiding in the low-lying area.

If he was discovered by the company, Zhuang Xuteng would immediately rush to the Wall of Sighs and leave as quickly as possible - before that, he had to complete his attempt as soon as possible. According to the Lich Master, eclipse is a power that combines the effects of disintegration, necromancy and deformation, and can be identified with the most basic necromancy spells.

Zhuang Xuteng tried it and did find something. Using the necromancy skills to clear the layers of fog, Zhuang Xuteng's eyes were dyed green by the Eye of Shadow spell. At this time, he found that the surrounding environment was full of black matter in strands. These energy bodies are extremely light, and any slight movement can make them fly with them, so they will never gather in one place. From the perspective of their movement, they are quite similar to the clouds and mist that always cover the ground of the Stone Pillar Hall. These things have no penetrating power, and a piece of paper can isolate and cut them off. But they are everywhere, pervasive, covering the entire world completely.

Now that he has found this thing, Zhuang Xuteng tried to use it for his own benefit - he thought too much. The technique of filling the spell with energy cannot mobilize the eclipse power. They seem to be unable to hear Zhuang Xuteng's call, and continue to do what they should do. Zhuang Xuteng's experiments failed to produce any results, so he knew that cheating would not work.

In this case, he continued to practice disintegration. He had only used disintegration inside the Wall of Sighs, and he didn't know how effective it would be outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as the sesame and mung beans were formed, they immediately attracted the eclipse power to surge over and form a vortex around the void annihilation microsphere. The actual matter will offset the void annihilation sphere, but the eclipse power will not cause an offset, but surround the disintegration core, just like a cotton candy machine, where the heated white sugar condenses into silk in the cold air, and is wrapped around the small stick in circles and layers.

Finally, I can control (attract) the eclipse power! Zhuang Xuteng was not happy for long, a piece of floating and sinking that happened to pass by neutralized the void annihilation particles, and the eclipse "marshmallow" immediately disintegrated and drifted away with the wind.

"Interesting phenomenon, how to use it..." Zhuang Xuteng thought.

Half a month passed quickly, and it was the day they agreed to set off. Zhuang Xuteng stood in front of the Lich Master confidently and announced that he "done it!" He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to show his achievements in front of the Lich Master.

The Lich Master tilted his head and looked at him, and said in a very calm tone: "Very good, you can tell me what you want at any time."

Is that all? The Lich Master believed it? Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't you want to check it?"

"No need to check." The Lich Master's attitude made Zhuang Xuteng unable to do it. He accepted Zhuang Xuteng's words so rashly and made his own promise, which made Zhuang Xuteng begin to doubt the value of the Lich Master's promise. Things that are too easy to get must be worthless. Wouldn't the things that the Lich Master wants to give him be like this?

For a while, Zhuang Xuteng didn't know what to do. If judged strictly according to the spell effect of the Void Annihilation Sphere, he did not really complete the spell. However, he thought of two ways to "disguise" the spell effect of the Void Annihilation Sphere. One is to use the eclipse phenomenon, which can only be used in the Shadow Realm; the other is more tricky, which can only be achieved by him, a necromancer, and others certainly cannot do it.

"Let's go and find an isolation suit first." The Lich Master grabbed Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder and activated the power of teleportation.

A moment later, the two of them came to the outskirts of a mine. According to the marks on the buildings, excavation equipment and vehicles, this should belong to the Scarlet Group. The Lich Master waved his hand, and a cover of invisibility spell protected them, and then the two walked towards the mine.

"Master, I actually..." Zhuang Xuteng was about to admit his mistake when he was interrupted by the Lich Master.

"It's okay, none of that matters..." The Lich Master said, "Follow me closely, I will show you the power of necromancy."

After that, he slowly floated into the air - not very high, just hovering two meters above Zhuang Xuteng's head. The Lich Master opened his hands, black mist continued to pour out from his palms, and twisted ghosts flew out of the mist one after another.

After a while, thousands of ghosts lined up in front of them, and then, under the command of the Lich Master, they surged towards the mine in the form of a tide. As the tide surged, the power of eclipse was driven by the ghosts, covering the ghosts like a quilt, and rushing towards the company employees in the mine with great momentum.

The sharp alarm rang throughout the mine, and everyone began to flee. Most people rushed to the isolation room, thinking that the attack was just the vibration of the shadow energy, and the walls of the building could protect them. A few people who happened to be in the transportation immediately adjusted their direction and ran straight towards the shadow world channel. No matter what disaster happens in the Shadow Realm, it won't affect the other side, so you'll be safe if you run over there.

"This spell is called Ghost Wave, which is very lethal to living creatures, but it won't damage buildings, equipment, and items. I've used this spell three times on the company's camps and successfully overturned three camps. This is the fourth time. I expect they can respond."

While the Lich Master was speaking, the mine maximized the lighting system. In an instant, hundreds of bright lights on nearly a hundred lampposts illuminated the camp in white, and all color information was blurred by the strong light. Zhuang Xuteng was not allowed to close his left eye. He had to use the filter function of the implant in his right eye to see normally. To be honest, even though Zhuang Xuteng could use the Wraith Jelly to sense his surroundings with his eyes closed, the Wraith Jelly felt stinging under the strong light and did not want to provide him with environmental information.

Wait, Wraith Jelly feels pain? Wraith jelly is also a necromancy spell, so what is the status of the ghost? Zhuang Xuteng built a pergola with his hands and tried to look ahead, just in time to see the terrifying scene of the ghost wave melting away under the spotlight.

"They have increased the total supply of light energy." Master Lich returned to Zhuang Xuteng and said, "Light-emitting equipment and luminous spells will fill the space with light energy. When the energy is strong enough, it will repel the undead energy. During the second and third attacks, the lighting system of the mining camp caused some obstacles to the ghosts. They studied, summarized and strengthened the defense methods, and the fourth attack was indeed ineffective. "

The lights gathered together and hit the raging black waves head-on, like melting glaciers flowing with magma. Master Lich grabbed Zhuang Xuteng and teleported him again to the other side of the camp.

"I found that these camps can always find a solution to the same phenomenon within four times, which shows that the company's learning ability is very strong." The Lich Master waved his hand and released two skulls made of black mist. They become invisible while flying, quickly disappearing into the ground. "I disguise the attack as a natural phenomenon and travel around different mines. Regardless of whether they belong to the same company, I can usually only succeed three times."

"Can't the ghost wave rush through?" Zhuang Xuteng looked at the ghost groups that could only move in a fixed direction and felt that this spell lacked control and flexibility, and was not like the normal level of the Lich Master.

"If I apply a little more force or use some tricks, the ghosts can certainly rush through, or they can disperse into thousands of individual entities and launch saturation attacks from all directions - but that way, it doesn't look like a natural phenomenon. The company also has shadow masters, and they may suspect that there are still living people in this supposedly dead world. "

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, thinking that Master Lich's caution was reasonable.

"Don't listen to my nonsense, I'm just too cowardly." The Lich Master waved his hand, and the wave of ghosts suddenly exploded and turned into hundreds of black ribbons, half of which scattered towards the sky and half of which penetrated the ground to sneak and attack. At the same time, two six-meter-high skeletons appeared in the camp. They crashed into the lampposts, pulled them up and used them as weapons, and began to wreak havoc.

The hardest thing about ghosts is definitely walking through walls. Where light does not reach, ghosts can creep in; walls and floors can block light, but they cannot block ghosts. The Lich Master shook his finger, and the ghosts began to kill.
