Leo found himself transported into a desolate wasteland, the remnants of a once-thriving magical civilization. There, he became Yvette – an immortal witch who could neither age nor die.
For...
Chapter 124-123- Soul Fire Saint
Accompanied by six elemental spells of lightning, fire, wind blades, rock, water arrows, and ice bombs, in twice the number, they smashed into the surging sea of bones without any fuss. Lind immediately knew that this was not a bluff.
The raging, surging magical torrent transformed into a tangible tidal wave of energy, violently pushing and tearing in all directions. The skeletal army that had surged like a tidal wave a moment before instantly collapsed like wheat waves in a hurricane, layer upon layer falling. Amidst flashes and explosions, it transformed into a cloud of bone dust that soared into the air.
What made Lind feel even more incredible was that firing 12 spells at the same time meant 12 times the magic power consumption, and they were high-specification spells with decent damage. What kind of transformation had she made and what kind of artificial core had she installed that could last so long without reaching the bottom?
After a few minutes, he kept dodging behind his summoned creature until there was no escape. Lind used the magic barrier to support himself for a while, then turned around and tried to run.
At this time, the commotion here had been going on for a while. In order to avoid complications, Yvette chased after him. Her wind magic was far ahead of Lind in terms of proficiency and technique quality. The chasing process was very easy. Then she immediately pierced Lind's chest with the Touch of Pure White.
This would not cause his immediate death, but it pierced the artificial magic core in his body. With the magic output cut off, he instantly turned from a mage into a mortal.
Stepping on the grass that had been plowed countless times by magic, Yvette bathed in the icy silver moonlight and walked in front of Linde, like an indifferent god of death, which made Linde's heart break.
"You... who are you..." Lind said in horror, his weak body constantly squirming backwards. He was completely different from the general who possessed Hoyle that night and looked down on the world with his domineering aura.
Of course, this can also be understood as a shortcoming of the Necromancer. He is very good at playing tricks and is safe when he attacks, but if his true form is caught, he will be far inferior to a normal elemental mage.
Yvette looked at him quietly, and then she thought, should I extort some money before killing him? It felt a bit ruinous...but not asking for money seemed too wasteful...
At this moment, a solid dark shadow appeared in front of Yvette, which stunned the struggling Linde, and then he showed an ecstatic expression.
"Lord Shengsi!" He shouted as if he had seen a life-saving straw, expressing his respect and warning the silver-haired girl opposite him not to act rashly.
"Saint?" Yvette looked at the misty figure before her, and after confirming it was just a holographic image projected from the terminal, she immediately relaxed. "Which Saint?"
"I am the Holy Master of Soul Fire." The humanoid black mist in a white robe said in a calm tone, "Are you Wuming?"
Yvette hummed softly.
"Let Lind go, return the soul brain, and 'refute' the outside world about your wrong information here. Today's events will be written off." said the Soul Fire Saint.
"What if I say that I don't want to let him go, I don't want to lie, and I don't plan to return the spoils to you?" Yvette narrowed her eyes.
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze. After a long silence, a distinct chill finally appeared in Soul Fire Saint Si's voice, like a glacier floating on the Abyssal North Sea. He said coldly and contemptuously, "You can try."
puff--
The moment the words fell, a wind blade flew past and cut off Lind's neck. Warm blood gushed out like a fountain, drawing a brief and sad rainbow in the moonlight.
Lind didn't even have time to scream. His head, frozen in shock and pleading, rolled down and landed at the feet of the Soul Fire Saint's projection.
"Very good." After spitting out this word coldly, the figure of Soul Fire Saint disappeared. It was unknown whether it was the projection that was actively closed, or Lind's death caused his terminal to automatically close.
The only smell left in the air was a faint smell of blood and the burnt smell left by the ravages of magic.
Yvette was silent for a moment, her eyes falling on the general's head on the ground.
Considering that the Holy Spirit Sect possessed necromancy, she hit Lind's head a few more times to prevent resurrection.
After ensuring that the creature's brain had been chopped into pieces and the spirit that had not yet disintegrated was smashed into pieces by her lightning and fire magic, she touched the headless corpse and picked up a 10w magic terminal.
Like the Soul Brain, Lind's magic terminal also has a strict authentication process, which requires a lot of time to hack and modify.
She put away the magic terminal and prepared to blend into the darkness and return to the hive, but suddenly she thought of another thing and felt a little sad.
The general is dead, but he has also made a great enemy of the Holy Spirit Sect. In this case, can she still go to Hoyle to collect the balance?
…
The Beehive in the second half of the night is darker than other areas of Fos River. There are no holographic advertisements here. The colorful neon lights mostly come from abandoned signboards picked up from the garbage dump. Old buildings are connected together by illegal structures. In the capillary-like corridors and staircases, white light bulbs emit weak light, which seems to be disillusioned at any time.
Unlike many heavy industrial cities, there are many stars in Fusjiang at night, and when you look up, you can see the vast starry sky.
As she flew under the starry sky and landed on the rooftop of a building in the honeycomb, Yvette saw that Zero was also there. Surprisingly, she did not go to sleep, but sat on a stool, gazing up at a corner of the starry sky. Her face did not have the usual madness or evil expression, but looked exceptionally calm, even a little lonely and isolated.
Yvette followed her gaze to the night sky and found that she was gazing at a solitary cross star in the south.
"What's so special about that star?" Yvette asked, keeping a certain distance. Without Liana present, she really couldn't judge Zero's behavior.
Zero ignored her, but also looked away. She yawned tiredly and said unsteadily, "Take me back to my room."
"No thanks." Yvette took two steps back and said heartlessly.
Hearing Yvette's cold tone, Zero smiled again. Without saying anything else, she staggered down the stairs, yawning constantly as she walked, looking extremely sleepy.
Yvette followed her at a distance and suddenly began to wonder if Zero was remotely watching her fight with the general in some way. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain how such a sleepy person could stay up late at night on the rooftop.
Anyway, he definitely didn't come here specifically to welcome her.
Thinking of the soul brain and terminal she had obtained, she felt somewhat satisfied, but when she thought that the Soul Fire Saint might be planning revenge against her, things immediately became troublesome again.
Let's maintain the status quo for now, at least until she cracks the firewalls of the Soul Brain and Terminal in the next two days. Once she acquires the knowledge of necromancy, she should have an effective means to fight the Soul Fire Saint.
