Chapter 377 The Power of Divine Artifact

A ray of sunlight suddenly shone down from the dark clouds in the sky.

Just as Enzo was about to give up chasing Justin, the drizzle finally ended. In Enzo's light blue eyes, a ghost-like figure was moving quickly in the deep forest in the distance.

"Justin!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the clear sky. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and whispered, "This rain stopped just in time, so I can't blame you."

The next moment, the shadow wings appeared behind him.

The inky black wings shook in vain, and Enzo flew into the sky like a falcon, and then flew into the depths of the forest. In less than a quarter of an hour, he caught up with Justin.

"So fast?" Justin was shocked below.

Then, Enzo stood in the air with the shadow wings, holding the Soul Bone Magic Staff in his hand slightly tightly, chanting a spell in a low voice, and summoned a dark extinguishing fire meteorite in the sky.

Boom!

The burning black meteorite whistled and hit the ground, shaking the whole forest. The ground trembled slightly after being hit. Justin, who was sneaking quickly, was blocked by the dark fire meteorite and stopped with a cold face.

"It seems that you are determined to stop me?" Justin turned around, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Humph! Do you think it can end so easily?"

Enzo sneered and said in a deep voice: "When I was a third-level apprentice, I almost died in your hands. Since we met here today, there must be a conclusion between us!"

"Do you really think you can beat me?"

Justin's expression became ferocious, and he said sternly: "Little ghost, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a powerful magic wizard weapon. The battle has just begun!"

After that, Justin waved his broken arm shoulder, causing blood to flow on the ground.

The scene that happened just now appeared again. The dark witch formation was formed under the outline of blood. The huge body of the Cyclops slowly crawled out from it, holding a zombie in its huge palm.

"Hehe! Delicious food."

After the fierce battle, the Cyclops was covered with hideous scars, and even his abdomen was torn, half of his intestines were exposed, but he still looked alive and kicking.

"Is it over?" Seeing the zombie in the Cyclops's hand, Enzo couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this time, a tremor came from a distance, and the broad body of the lava giant caught up with heavy steps. The battle between the three monsters just now ended with the victory of the Cyclops.

Crunch!

With his strong physique, the Cyclops defeated the lava giant and the zombie, and caught the dying zombie, opening his bloody mouth and biting it to pieces.

"How about it? The undead creatures you summoned are no match for the Cyclops!"

On the other side, Justin seemed a little proud and chuckled, "It's not too late to leave now. The hatred between us has not reached the level of life and death. It's no good for anyone to continue fighting."

Enzo had a blank expression on his face, and a black long sword appeared in his hand.

"Is this sword also a magical wizard weapon?" Looking at the black long sword in Enzo's hand, Justin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Not long ago, the shadow assassin used this sword to cut off Justin's arm.

Artifact, Sword of Night!

The sword representing the authority of the goddess of night was obtained by Enzo in the night maze, but because he was only a third-level apprentice at that time, he could not use the power of the artifact at all, so he could only use the sword of night as an ordinary sharp weapon.

However, now, Enzo has been promoted to a second-level wizard.

Even if it was the power of a divine weapon, he was qualified to use it. According to the information recorded in ancient books, the Sword of Night was the only divine weapon of the Goddess of Night, and it had the ability to enslave the bodies of dead creatures.

"Let's use this Cyclops to test the power of the Sword of Night."

Enzo's eyes flickered. In the first battle after being promoted to a second-level wizard, he had used Justin to test the two first-ring witchcrafts he had just mastered, and now he planned to try the power of the Sword of Night again.

"First, I need to awaken the power of the Sword of Night!"

Enzo took a deep breath, locked his eyes on the Cyclops, and injected the magic power in his body into the Sword of Night. The divine weapon was like a whirlpool, madly devouring Enzo's energy.

"It's worthy of being a divine weapon. It's really not a power that mortals can control!"

"If I hadn't been promoted to a second-level wizard, I'm afraid that just in this moment, all the magic power in my body would be devoured by the Sword of Night, and I would even fall into a crisis of death."

Feeling the power of the Sword of Night gradually awakened, Enzo's eyes flickered.

"Okay, let's start"

Not far away, the Cyclops was chewing the ghoul, making a creepy sound. As a creature summoned by Justin through a contract, he was very satisfied with the ghoul as a sacrifice.

Enzo turned into a shadow and rushed straight towards the Cyclops.

"Get out of the way, idiot!" Behind him, Justin's pupils shrank, as if he felt the threat of the Sword of Night. He immediately reminded the Cyclops loudly, but it didn't work.

The Cyclops, who was enjoying the food, stood there very attentively.

"Shadow Wings!"

A shadow wing appeared behind Enzo, and then flew towards the head of the Cyclops. At this time, the Cyclops finally sensed the danger, and of the four arms on his body, the two arms behind his shoulders grabbed Enzo at the same time.

"Hey hey! I got you!"

Two rough huge palms grabbed the figure in the air. The Cyclops drooled at the corners of his mouth and laughed foolishly, but then he found that the figure in his palm had turned into a shadow and dissipated.

Swish!

The next moment, Enzo appeared behind the Cyclops.

He held the Sword of Night in his hand and stabbed silently at the Cyclops' neck. The extremely sharp Sword of Night easily pierced the Cyclops' tough skin.

"Uh, it hurts"

Until the intense pain came, the Cyclops' face showed a ferocious expression. He didn't care about the zombie in his mouth, and waved his four arms frantically, trying to grab Enzo behind the spine.

But the Cyclops's movements were extremely clumsy in Enzo's eyes.

He drew out the Sword of Night, leaped flexibly to the top of the Cyclops, and then stabbed the long sword into the top of the giant's head, crushing its brain as the Cyclops wailed in pain.

"Damn it!" Behind him, Justin's face changed, as if his brain was struck by lightning.

Even the Cyclops, who was known for his physique, would die immediately after his brain was damaged, and Justin, who had signed a soul contract with him, was unsurprisingly backlashed by the contract.

At the same time, the Sword of Night inserted into the giant's head was glowing with a dark luster.

On the blade of the Sword of Night, the spell representing the authority of the Goddess of Night exuded a unique light, as if the curse-like power was intertwined with the body of the Cyclops.

Puff!

Enzo drew out the Sword of Night the next moment.

The huge body of the Cyclops slowly fell to the ground, and its four strong arms drooped weakly. The chewed corpse of the ghoul in its bloody mouth also turned into blurred flesh and blood flowing on the ground.

On the opposite side, Justin's face was as gloomy as water.

On the spot, Enzo raised the Sword of Night in his hand and communicated with the Sword of Night through mental power. After a flash of dark light, the body of the Cyclops not far away slowly stood up.

"What!?"

Justin's pupils shrank and frowned, "How could this happen? Did he use some kind of witchcraft ability? Death awakening? Or corpse resurrection?"

In the wizard world, there are many kinds of witchcraft that can revive corpses.

For example, the death awakening that Enzo mastered during his apprenticeship is a kind of spell that can awaken corpses to fight. This kind of spell is uniformly planned as necromancy.

However, there are certain restrictions without exception when resurrecting corpses through necromancy.

For example, the corpse driven by the death awakening, no matter how it was in life, has extremely limited combat power after becoming a corpse ghost, and needs Enzo's command at all times to carry out simple battles.

But Justin didn't know.

The corpse of the Cyclops enslaved by Enzo did not use necromancy, but relied on the power of the Sword of Night to drive the Cyclops to become a puppet of the artifact through effects such as curses.

The puppet enslaved by the Sword of Night can retain at least 80% of its combat power before death.

Even if some creatures with magic abilities can still retain certain magic abilities and some combat awareness even after becoming artifact puppets.

"Go, Cyclops!"

Enzo pointed the Sword of Night in his hand forward and ordered the Cyclops to attack. Although he used the artifact to enslave the Cyclops, he actually did not take it too seriously and only used the Cyclops as cannon fodder.

As he thought before, using the Sword of Night to kill the Cyclops was mainly to test the effect of the artifact.

Enzo's real target is Justin!

Bang, bang, bang!

The Cyclops, enslaved by the Sword of Night, moved his huge feet and ran. When he rushed to a distance from Justin, his four thick arms swung at the same time and slapped the ground.

"Humph!"

Justin snorted coldly and waved the magic wand in his hand gently. The invisible force was like a thread, wrapping around one of the arms of the Cyclops. Then, as he moved his mind, the huge body of the Cyclops was also thrown out.

Boom!

The Cyclops fell to the ground, forming a deep pit. Justin had no expression on his face. The blood on the broken arm had stopped, but his face looked a little pale. In addition to excessive blood loss, the main reason was excessive consumption of magic power.

"You don't really plan to rely on this thing to deal with me, do you?"

Justin glanced at the Cyclops not far away, and then asked coldly. As his former contracted creature, Justin knew the Cyclops very well. Although the monster was physically strong, it had no magic ability.

It is impossible to rely on the Cyclops to fight against a second-level wizard!

"Of course not."

Enzo shrugged and said in a calm voice: "The Cyclops is only a first-level life form. It can restrain you to a certain extent, which is already the limit. As for killing it, it is impossible."

"Let me play with you!"

After that, Enzo waved the magic wand in his hand again, and the shadow under his feet spread to the surroundings, forming a field in a moment, almost covering Justin.

On the opposite side, Justin frowned slightly and stepped back quickly.

In the previous battle, Justin already knew that Enzo was a shadow wizard, so fighting him in the shadow field was obviously a very disadvantageous thing.

"The magic power has been almost consumed. It seems that we have to fight quickly!"

Justin retreated to an area that could not be covered by the shadow field. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Then he raised his palm and gently touched the silver mask on his face. Suddenly, a sound of water flow came from behind him.

Not long ago, it rained here, so there was a lot of water on the ground.

Relying on the power of the magic wizard, Justin created two sky-high water flows, and then began to intertwine with each other, sweeping forward like a tornado.

"Illusion Crow Technique!"

In the original place, Enzo chanted in a low voice, and his body turned into countless illusory crows, flying around, and then in Justin's astonished eyes, he activated the ability of the Thousand Spirits of the Illusion Crow.

In an instant, the surroundings fell into darkness.

"Is this. Illusion?" Justin's heart trembled, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Could this be the advanced meditation method, the Thousand Spirits of Illusionary Crows?"

As a fallen wizard from [Phantom Crows], Justin had also learned about the advanced meditation method of the academy, and even applied for the opportunity to practice the Thousand Spirits of Illusionary Crows when he was just promoted to a formal wizard.

However, due to his talent limitation, Justin did not get the qualification to practice the advanced meditation method, which was one of the reasons why he finally rebelled against the academy and became a fallen.

"A kid who has been on the journey of wizards for less than a hundred years is actually qualified to practice the advanced meditation method?"

Justin's eyes changed, and he recalled his experience in the academy. He couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

At this moment, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The foggy forest appeared in front of Justin. He was briefly confused in his mind. When he was about to think, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, Justin, what are you doing?"

Justin turned his head subconsciously, and a girl with a bright smile stood in front of him, sticking out her tongue and said, "We are now on a mission in the Misty Forest. If you are distracted again, be careful to be captured by the monsters in the forest. I won't save you."

"Nina?" Seeing the girl in front of him, Justin's heart tightened.

"Of course it's me, is there anyone else willing to team up with you?" The girl named Nina wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, "Let's go quickly, the longer we stay in the Misty Forest, the more dangers we may encounter."

"Execute the mission as soon as possible, I still have to go back to the restaurant of the academy for a big meal." As she said, Nina grabbed Justin's arm and walked into the forest.
