Chapter 408: Spirit Bound Besieged
No, that's not right, that's not a shadow spirit. Noshiel quickly rejected his previous judgment through his own monster knowledge.
Shadow spirits are servants of the God of Death and Memory, the Queen of Ravens. All shadow spirits were elves in their lifetime, but the Shadowfall Underworld transformed them, leaving them with only a body that has obsessions but is extremely empty.
Some shadow spirits are very dangerous and almost impossible to communicate with, but some shadow spirits are relatively friendly. Noshiel himself knows that there is a shadow spirit called the Shadow of the Past in this shadow cursed land.
The Shadow of the Past is a special shadow spirit that is relatively friendly and can communicate, but among the undead, this kind of creature that can communicate is quite rare. Noshiel hopes that the monsters below are the type that can make friends with them, but unfortunately, this wish is destined to fail, because those things are bound spirits!
A bound spirit is a kind of incorporeal undead formed by the condensation of malice. This creature is full of negative energy. Just passing through the world can make nearby plants turn black and wither. Animals will flee because of its existence. Even a weak flame will be swallowed by the bound spirit's terrible unconscious energy absorption. It is a very dangerous undead creature.
The conditions for the birth of a bound spirit are relatively harsh. All creatures in this world except the mind flayer have souls. According to the living habits and moral contributions of the creatures before their death, all souls have their own destinations after death, either to the kingdom of heaven or to the nine hells of Baator.
However... there is such a situation. If a creature does not die naturally, but its soul is infused with a large amount of negative energy when it dies, then the soul of the creature will have a certain probability of producing an effect similar to self-collapse, making it lose its self-conscious existence before welcoming the rebirth, and then he may become a bound spirit.
Among all the undead creatures, bound spirits are also considered to be the most difficult to deal with. This kind of undead has a certain resistance to all energy attacks except for light damage and force field damage. Once ordinary low-level professionals face bound spirits, if they are not prepared in advance, they will often be wiped out quickly.
Because the attack method of bound spirits is very difficult to deal with, it can directly absorb the vitality of the target. This attack is very hidden and difficult to resist. Once the vitality begins to be absorbed, it is almost equivalent to losing the ability to fight. It only takes a few seconds for bound spirits to completely kill a well-trained soldier.
Bound spirits can also create ghosts. A bound spirit can control up to seven ghosts at the same time. Ghosts are equivalent to weakened versions of bound spirits. They are easier to deal with than bound spirits, but once the number reaches this level, they will become more difficult than bound spirits. Unless there are professions such as paladins or priests in the team, otherwise dealing with them normally will often be a difficult battle.
Originally, this kind of monster should be very rare, but thanks to the Shadow Curse that Catheric had released, Noshiel in the sky looked around and saw that the entire periphery of the End Light Inn was almost surrounded by bound spirits and ghosts.
Under the light emitted by the Pure White Moon Shield, Noshiel could roughly estimate their number, but even if he just looked around, there were at least hundreds of bound spirits surrounding the hotel, and the number of ghosts was several times more than that of bound spirits!
"How could there be so many undead? What on earth did Minsk and Jahira do? This number is almost the sum of all the spirits and ghosts in the entire Shadow Curse Land! What on earth did they do to attract all these things here?"
Looking at the army of undead on the ground, Noshiel had a headache for a while. He was not worried about whether he could deal with them. The legendary axe could definitely hurt these things, but this method alone might not be able to quickly clean them up.
Even if he could kill several spirits with one strike, it would probably take him several hours to completely destroy the thousands of undead spirits in front of him with just his axe.
This was based on the premise that they had to stand still and be chopped obediently, but these monsters would never obey Noshier's wishes and die obediently.
"If this continues, I'm sure that I will be overwhelmed by these things in less than five minutes. At that time, even if I go berserk, it will probably be useless. This kind of life-absorbing attack is beyond the normal attack range. Even the bear totem cannot be immune to the negative effects of the loss of vitality. After a long time, the damned will still die."
In an instant, thousands of bound spirits and ghosts sucked his life. Not to mention Noshier, even if the target was the dragon, these undead spirits could directly suck him dry, and among all his current means, there was no prop or ability that could help him ignore so many undead creatures.
"It seems that these things can't be solved in a short time, so forget it, ignore these monsters, and find the master first."
Noshier handed the torch in his right hand to his left hand, took out a can of burning oil (enchantment potion) from the space equipment, poured it on the giant axe in his left hand, and then lit it with the torch, so that the burning giant axe can replace the torch to play the role of lighting.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Noshier just randomly chose a position and started free falling.
Now he really has no means to deal with these undead creatures efficiently, but if it is just a short-term breakout, he is still very confident.
With his speed, these undead will never stop him, and as long as he makes enough noise, the other people in the shelter will soon open a gap in the shield to let him in.
"Death falls from the sky!!!"
Falling straight down in the sky, Noshiel aimed at a bound spirit that looked more profound and slender than your ghost. His body, which became tall and strong after the growth of basic attributes, stretched out in the sky. His taut arms were full of surging power. The giant axe burning with blazing fire drew a halo like the sun, and fiercely bombarded those dark and twisted translucent spirits and the withered land!
The excessive output allowed Noshiel to instantly clear a small piece of open space, and directly killed the bound spirit that was the main target. The powerful undead creature instantly turned into ashes, and the only remaining undead breath slowly condensed into a shadowy remains.
If you reach out and touch it, the person who touches this remains can hear the strongest emotion of the bound spirit in his life, which may be regret or fear, or happiness.
This kind of thing is also the only proof of its existence in the world, but even if it is collected, it will not be long before the remains themselves will slowly dissipate, just like the essence of the bound spirit. From the moment they die, their self has long been gone.
