Chapter 369 The True God
Half an hour later, Wendy had a new teacher named Martis.
Li Ang has a new worker, but he is a temporary worker.
Maltis said that she would leave after dealing with Kavala, and during this period she would help Wendy learn about magic as much as possible.
According to Maltis, learning magic is a long process that relies mainly on comprehension;
In addition, she herself was a leading general and was quite good at fighting, but she had never taught students;
Moreover, she herself was an ice mage, but Wendy seemed to be more adept at using fire. Like Wendatil, she insisted that Wendy had used fire magic, and she insisted that she had seen it with her own eyes...
Older people are indeed stubborn. There is a reason why such a powerful race of elves has ended up in such a miserable state.
As a result, Li Ang immediately reduced her salary by several levels - he only provided her with food but no money.
Anyway, her horned viper vanguards don't need to eat... They are indeed undead, but their bodies are better preserved.
Martis probably didn't expect that Leon originally positioned her as a high-level fighter, but because of her words, her treatment was reduced to a temporary worker.
This Sindarri general's negotiation skills are really not worth mentioning... No wonder he sold his soul to Kavala.
After all, Leon knew that Wendy was also a humanoid magic forbidden tower - since magic was forbidden, she definitely couldn't use magic.
He asked Maltis to teach Wendy magic just to make sure that Maltis could cooperate with him.
But since Maltis didn't plan to stay for too long, it meant that he was an unstable employee who could leave at any time, so he definitely couldn't be paid a high salary...
Leon even felt that he was at a disadvantage - Maltis really cared about Wendy, the 'Sindari', and maybe if he tricked her a little more, Maltis would make some money out of her...
Should we try to let her take out a loan to work?
Didn't she just happen to have no place to live?
Maybe after paying off all the loans, she can work with peace of mind?
The risk is a bit high, maybe you will end up being a deadbeat...
However, now is definitely not a good time to apply for a loan.
Because Kavala arrived at noon that day.
Kavala's troops were slow, and his undead troops were dragging many corpses.
They did not drive horses, but relied on the undead themselves to pull many carriages, bringing countless corpses - it seemed that Kavala had found a lot of soldiers along the way.
In other words, he was not preparing for a war, but was more likely to take over Sarleon City directly.
"Martis, where was Kavala before the release of the Light of Azi Dahaka?"
Leon thought that Kavala's slow journey to Sarleon and the fact that he brought some corpses with him was probably because he didn't know that Maltis had been hit by Az Dahaka's explosion.
"I'm not sure where he was at the time, but he must have been far away - I never told him the whole truth. He saw me use Azi Dahaka to destroy the Third Legion of the Old Bacchus Empire. He must have thought that Azi Dahaka was only used to destroy the world. He didn't dare to enter the coverage of the Holy Light."
Maltis replied.
"That is to say, he doesn't know that you have been resurrected. This is a good opportunity. He may think that the current population here is all undead, and that you have rebuilt the Dread Legion... He asked you to activate Azi Dahaka, destroy all the troops in Sarleon City, and then use my troops to rebuild the Dread Legion. This was his original plan, right?"
Li Ang confirmed it again.
"That's indeed his plan. What are you going to do about it?"
Martis nodded. She had the same opinion as Leon.
"Kavala can command the dead, but not summon them? Why did he prepare those corpses?"
Leon turned his head and looked at the horned viper vanguards left outside the city by Maltis.
"He can't use the Soul Gathering Technique. This is magic, not divine magic. He can't learn it... He can only use his powerful soul power to control the undead. In the past, he controlled me to summon the undead."
Maltis replied.
"Then can you control those undead?"
Li Ang's eyes lit up.
"No... I can use the Soul Gathering Technique to summon the dead, but I don't have the soul power that he has, so I can't control it - this is why the Soul Gathering Technique has become a forbidden technique."
"Summoning the undead actually means that the souls of people will not die after death, but their consciousness will soon dissipate, and then they will become uncontrollable zombies."
"Without extremely strong soul power to suppress them, the undead will all lose control and will only act according to their subconscious mind in life... The reason why my troops can always gather around me is because they were extremely loyal to me in life. They still remember that they are elite soldiers of the garrison, so they can obey military orders."
Martis also glanced at the horned viper pioneers who remained outside the city and shook his head.
"That is to say, after losing you, Kavala can no longer create undead... Then I think the first thing he did after arriving here might be to try to occupy your body..."
Leon pointed at Martis's head.
Maltis nodded: "Perhaps, if he occupies my body, he can summon the undead and drive them..."
"That's it..."
Leon turned his head and glanced at Kavala in the distance, and whispered the plan to Martis.
Then he and Martis left the city and headed towards Kavala.
Kavala was still using Ulrich's body, his eyes were cloudy, his whole body was green, and his limbs were stiff.
After all, this was a body that had been injected with mercury and preservatives and had been buried for more than a year, so it certainly couldn't be very flexible.
I don't know how Kavala can endure this body...
This body probably has no feeling at all, right?
The calcified eyes cannot see, and the stiff body filled with preservatives cannot hear or touch.
However, Kavala can definitely see the world directly with his soul, after all, his soul can communicate directly with living people.
But a body without the sense of touch is certainly not very pleasant, and Kavala should not have to endure such a body for a long time. He will have to change it sooner or later.
Li Ang felt that Kavala came this time just to exchange for Martis.
Kavala must have intended to seize Maltis' body directly. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the Fierce Lion City, he rode his horse straight towards Maltis without saying anything.
And he took out the Gate of the Abyss as he walked.
It looks like they are planning to use the same method that Mediah once used - occupying the place with the help of the code.
Leon quickly asked Martis to go forward.
Moreover, he also followed behind Malthis, imitating the behavior of the horned viper vanguards under Malthis - expressionless, a little dull, a little dazed, saying nothing, and holding his breath.
This is what the undead look like.
Leon still remembers what happened when he first saw the undead army after being rescued from the lake by Bao Daisi.
At that time, I could sense a troop two or three miles away, but it was not until the troop got closer that I could determine that they were undead by hearing and sight.
The same should be true for Kavala. As long as the distance is not too close and he cannot detect his breathing and heartbeat, he probably will not be able to tell the difference between the dead and the living.
Plus Ulrich's body...
Leon was at least certain that Kavala could not hear the heartbeat, as he was not a Noldor elf.
Martis came to Kavala, held up the High King's ring in both hands, and raised it above his head.
Of course, it was Leon who asked her to do this, and it looked like she had completed the task and was ready to hand it over.
“Hahaha… Maltis, your mission is accomplished! Leon, you really couldn’t survive the Terror Legion. You even became a member of the Terror Legion… I will make you the leader of the legion. After all, this body is my descendant.”
Kavala laughed happily, but that pale green face looked scary when he laughed.
He was speaking, but Ulrich's body wasn't speaking at all.
This may be that Kavala is communicating directly with people with his soul, and only he has this ability.
Martis didn't say anything, but just lowered his head slightly.
Leon stood behind Martis, turning a deaf ear and not moving at all, like a real undead.
"Take..."
Kavala took out the Gate of the Abyss, handed it to Martis, then took the ring from Martis' hand and played with it for a while.
He probably felt a little emotional, perhaps feeling that many of his wishes had been fulfilled.
Then he raised his sword again and tried to pierce Ulric's head - his own head - from the chin upwards.
This is the same way the three prophets switched bodies by self-destruction in Kwen Village.
Perhaps it was necessary to have a certain part of his brain severed in order for his own soul to leave his body, just as the heads of the undead and the fallen must be chopped off.
Judging from this self-killing posture, the center of the skull, deep between the eyebrows, should be where the soul is located.
However, just as Kavala was about to stab his chin with the sword, Martis threw the Gate of the Abyss to Leon behind him...
Then he raised his sword and cut off Kavala's sword hand.
The knife skills are very fast, as fast as Vendatil.
This was a raid.
This was of course Leon's instruction. He wanted to trap Kavala in a broken body that had lost its fighting power, just like he trapped the three prophets.
"Martis!"
Kavala's voice sounded in shock and anger.
Then , all the undead responded and rushed towards Maltis.
Li Ang took the Abyss Gate and ran away. The troops in the Fierce Lion City also began to charge out to support them.
Leon stood so close just to get the Gate of the Abyss. This was to make Kavala think that he was turned into an undead by Maltis and thus let down his guard.
At the same time, it also prevents Kavala from using the Gate of the Abyss to cause other troubles.
But he didn't expect that Kavala would let Martis take the Gate of the Abyss. This was even more perfect than he had imagined - he had thought that he would have to fight a hard battle to get the Gate of the Abyss.
"Leon, can you hear me? Open the gate to the abyss! Quick!"
A voice appeared in Li Ang's ear.
Li Ang could probably realize whose voice it was, but he didn't have the heart to reply now. He ran very fast holding the Gate of the Abyss.
"I'm Anna... Leon, listen to me, Ulrich's soul is controlled by Kavala. It's his own soul in Ulrich's body, not Kavala! Kavala is driving Ulrich!"
Anna spoke quickly, her voice sounding nervous and anxious.
Li Ang stopped and looked back at Ulrich: "Anna, what's going on?"
"Kavala is in the Gate of the Abyss! He wants to control your soul... He wants his own bloodline to become the King of Pendor again, but it must be under his control..."
Li Ang was horrified and stumbled, causing the Gate of the Abyss to fly out of his hand.
“Hahaha… Leon, it’s too late… The soul of the chosen one is not so easy to destroy… But from now on, you will no longer exist!”
Kavala's voice sounded directly.
This time, the voice did not appear in the ear, but like Eunomia's voice before, it appeared directly in the mind - or rather, it appeared directly in the depths of the soul.
Li Ang stopped and looked around for the door to the abyss.
Kavala has never used Ulrich's body?
That was Ulrich himself?
It seems that Ulrich has also signed a soul contract with Kavala...
No wonder Kavala could communicate with Leon through the ring. He should have remained in spirit form and never used any body since leaving the temple.
I should have thought of it earlier... This is the rule of the God of Creation!
Kavala didn't dare to occupy Ulrich's body, Ulrich was the native of this world!
He has been controlling everything in God's way...
In other words, Kavala had never violated the rules of the Creator God - so far, he had never occupied anyone's body, nor had he personally used any divine arts...
The only time he took over Aziz Dahaka's body was when he possessed a puppet weapon, just like he attached himself to a sword.
He has been controlling others, from Maltis to Ulrich, and then to himself...
Kavala really didn't expect that Martis was no longer under his control, but he never thought of occupying anyone's body, he just wanted to control everyone!
Like a true god...
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his head. Li Ang covered his head and looked at the Gate of the Abyss on the ground. He gritted his teeth and rushed over while enduring the headache.
Fortunately, the other undead were far away and Le Ang was not disturbed. Although he had an unbearable headache, he still got the Gate of the Abyss.
"Anna...how do I use the Gate of the Abyss?"
Leon anxiously opened the pages of the code and asked as he looked at the two galaxy-like patterns.
"You can't use it... You are a living person now! But Ulric can... If you give the Gate of the Abyss to Ulric, you can free his soul... I can help you stop Kavala for a while, go!"
A black mist flew out from the gate of the abyss and flew into Leon's forehead.
You're treating my brain like a battlefield, right?
I won't beat my brains out...
Leon glanced at Ulrich and stumbled over.
Ulrich's right hand had been cut off by Martis, and the undead around him pounced on and grabbed Martis.
But he himself didn't move, still riding on the horse, as if he felt nothing at all.
It's right to have no feeling. Leon has realized that if Kavala really used Ulrich's body, he would lose all his senses - when the soul and the body merge, he might have to use the five senses of the body.
Ulrich is just a puppet driven by Kavala, and is meant to be exposed to people to attract fire!
