The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 016 This knife is called "Ten Years"
On the body of Stitches.
The corpse demon revealed its true form and began to cast spells continuously.
His casting speed is very fast.
The "refractory period" between spells is also extremely short, probably due to the addition of other super magic skills.
The first wave of spells are all protective.
Along with the rapid incantation, a colorful glow rose up and fell on the body of the corpse demon itself.
In the blink of an eye.
In addition to the magic armor brought by the transformation process, it also has three more spells: "Mage Armor", "Air Shield" and "Frost Ring".
The stacking effect of these spells is very powerful.
Now, even if the Corpse Demon stood still and let Dorothy or Terry chop it, it would probably take more than ten seconds to break through its defense.
"This corpse demon is also a coward."
Roger touched the tip of his nose and unexpectedly felt a sense of pleasure as if he had met a worthy opponent.
…
This was followed by a second wave of spells.
Second-level spell——"Multiple Summonings: Skeletons"!
This spell takes longer to cast than the previous three spells combined.
Unfortunately, everyone was too far away to interrupt it, and could only watch it summon one skeleton soldier after another from the world of death!
These skeleton soldiers are slightly different from the ones that were destroyed previously.
Their bones are thicker and stronger, and their grade is also higher.
But the number of these skeleton soldiers exceeded everyone's imagination.
A simple second-level spell actually summoned 48 skeleton soldiers!
This not only breaks the adventurers' cognition, but also subverts the rules of summoning spells!
As we all know, there is an upper limit on the number of summoning spells, and it is usually a multiple of 6:
A first-ring mage may not summon more than six creatures.
There are 12 in the second ring.
And so on.
…
"Is this multicasting? Four times the number of summons?"
Roger couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This metamagic feat is so abnormal, no wonder it is listed separately with the art of qi-gazing!
The summoned skeleton soldiers did not attack the adventurers, but surrounded the corpse monster in three layers.
The latter didn't waste time talking to the adventurers and directly cast the third spell.
Second-level spell—"Pool of Corruption"!
The originally cold and hard ground under everyone's feet suddenly became muddy and soft.
A faint black fog came from an unknown source and gradually became thicker.
Someone started coughing violently.
Some people also experienced itching, redness and swelling of the skin.
Various negative effects, which were not serious but very troublesome, began to affect everyone one after another.
…
"Pool of Corruption (Second Level Spell)"
"Overview: Create a decaying space, using air and land as a medium to gradually corrode all living or non-living things in this space."
"Effect 1: Every 30 seconds, the creatures in the pool of corruption will be tested for negative effects. If the resistance fails, they will randomly experience symptoms such as coughing, fever, edema, itching, tearing, soreness, etc."
"Effect 2: Activate 'Bone Imprisonment' once every 60 seconds. Those who fail to resist will be imprisoned by the bone claws."
…
The aura-gazing technique explored the characteristics of the pool of corruption in detail.
It seems that the corpse demon is very patient.
It did not act rashly because of its high self-esteem, but instead chose a strategy of slow erosion.
Perhaps this was its intention from the beginning.
Skeleton soldiers are the most suitable summons for fighting a war of attrition.
Throughout the process.
What impressed Roger the most was the smooth casting method of the corpse demon.
I don't know how many times he practiced in private to achieve such a silky smooth effect.
Roger's eyes were fixed on the corpse demon.
And in the latter's eyes, it seemed that there was only Roger.
After a moment.
Facing the restless Skeleton Soldiers, Dorothy covered her mouth and shouted in a muffled voice:
"Roger! What now?"
Roger pulled out the Red Moon, held the hilt with both hands, and his eyes gradually became sharp and clear:
"Cover me!"
After saying this, he held the Red Moon in his hand and walked towards the corpse demon step by step.
Dorothy didn't hesitate. She nodded to Terry and then shouted:
"Everyone, cover Roger and move forward!"
"Don't let the skeleton soldiers stop him!"
"Be careful of the bone claws sticking out from the ground, just avoid them!"
Everyone in the expedition team responded in unison.
Their morale was ignited again, they surrounded Roger and launched an attack on the skeleton soldier formation!
Soon, the two sides came into contact, and a melee began.
…
Roger's steps were not fast, but unusually steady.
He believed that his teammates could create space for him to kill the corpse demon.
In his eyes, there was only the corpse demon himself!
As he took each step forward, Roger's aura was quietly changing.
A large amount of magic crystals formed around him.
Then it quickly collapsed and disappeared.
This happened several times.
If everyone had not been fighting hand-to-hand with the skeleton soldiers, they would have noticed this scene long ago.
But the corpse demon saw it.
The will-o'-the-wisp in its eyes flickered rapidly, as if it was confused and uneasy.
"There is actually an adventurer who has hidden his strength just like me!"
"Haha, you won't succeed!"
The corpse demon sneered and tapped Roger lightly with its claws.
Suddenly, the dark fog became thicker.
The black fog seemed to have solidified, and the expedition team instantly lost their direction.
Without waiting for Dorothy to speak.
Roger took the lead.
Every move of the corpse demon is being monitored by the Qi-vision technique.
"He can't escape."
As soon as Roger finished speaking, a bright yellow shining mark fell from the sky and hit the corpse demon directly on the head!
"Killing order!"
This was the first time he used another special ability of the Xiayin profession.
…
"Kill Order: You can lock the Kill Order on humanoid creatures, and obtain some unexpected excess profits by killing them."
「Restriction: Only applicable to elite templates and above」
…
With the guidance of the killing order, the united adventurers once again broke through the skeleton soldiers' defense and escorted Roger towards the direction of the corpse demon.
And Roger also adjusted his condition to the best.
The profession of Xiayin.
The most important thing is to "build up momentum"!
The longer you save.
The stronger the outbreak.
Now, Roger's momentum has reached its peak!
He glanced at the data column.
…
"Your level has been raised to Lv9."
"Your attributes have been improved."
…
"Your level has been raised to Lv10"
"Your attributes have been improved."
"You gained one attribute point."
…
"Your level has been raised to Lv12"
"Your attributes have been improved."
…
By investing the experience accumulated over ten years.
Roger instantly completed the leapfrog upgrade from Lv8 to Lv12!
What Roger needs most is not the attribute bonus brought by upgrading.
Instead, within 1 minute after each upgrade, Xiayin will gain an additional layer of "charged" attribute.
Upgrading to four levels in a row means that four layers of "accumulation of momentum" have been superimposed.
Plus the four levels of "Accumulating Strength" that come with the specialty "Ten Years of Sword".
Now on the Red Moon Sword in Roger's hand.
There are eight layers of "accumulated power" superimposed.
900% of the power is brewing!
…
"How is that possible?!"
“Stop him now!!”
The ghost wizard felt a strong sense of uneasiness, and was surrounded by a fear that had not appeared for a long time. He wanted to use magic to hide himself, but the existence of the killing order made him nowhere to hide!
It can only hope that the skeletons and pools of corruption can hinder Roger's progress.
It needs to rest for a while before it can cast other spells.
After all, the combination of spells just now has exceeded the limit that a normal second-ring mage can bear!
Apart from his tricks, he now doesn't even have the power to guide the scroll!
"Do we need to use forbidden items?"
"This person is too dangerous."
"But after using the forbidden item, I will be dead..."
Because of the hesitation, the ghost fire in the corpse demon's eyes became more flickering.
Over there with the expedition team.
Everyone finally noticed that Roger was different.
They were inspired by Roger's rising momentum.
Under the energetic charge of Dorothy and others, the Skeleton Soldiers were suddenly defeated and a big hole was stabbed in their throats without them noticing!
"Now!"
Roger said in a low voice:
“Get out of the way!”
He didn't wait for the person in front of him to react, and leaped over.
He started running on the muddy ground!
Break through the tight defense of all the skeleton soldiers in one breath!
His figure was as fast as lightning, and the red moon in his hand was as hot as fire!
A faint murderous intent ignited on the blade.
"Red Moon: Cutting Eyes" is launched!
In an instant.
Roger's body left behind a series of afterimages.
The distance of about thirty meters can be covered in one breath.
Before the corpse demon could make any effective response, the red knife light as bright as a blood moon cut in like cutting tofu.
Magic armor.
Mage armor.
Air shield technique.
Ring of frost.
In front of the Red Moon with 9 times the power, it will shatter at the slightest touch!
After the trance.
The corpse demon turned around in a daze and looked at Xia Yin who had already put away his sword. As the will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes slowly died out, it seemed as if a century had passed before he heard the mumbling that was delayed due to the slow speed:
"For Touma Town, for Kane."
"This knife is called "Ten Years."
call!
When the cool breeze blows, the ghost fire goes out.
In the distance at the pass, the last ray of sunset completely set.
The great darkness engulfed everything.
…
