Now, all he had to do was to reach the upper area of the tower, find and force open the portal before the undead creatures outside exhausted the energy reserves of the Mage Tower.
Although the entire floating city is currently shrouded in a powerful confinement spell, ordinary teleportation magic will not be effective at all.
But the power of the planeswalker's spark, combined with the energy the portal can muster, should be enough to tear open a small rift.
Although this rift might be a little unstable, and we don’t even know where we will be teleported to in Faerun, it is still much better than staying here and waiting to die.
What's more, Zuo Si now has a dragon!
Even if you are stranded in remote places such as the mountains, deserted islands, and the ocean, you can still ride a dragon to quickly move to the vicinity of the town.
With a desire to survive, he was so hungry that he decided to take a desperate measure and eat the last few pieces of candy in the paper bag, leaving no way out for himself.
In this way, the man and the dragon quickly passed through the corridors and stairs and came to the only entrance to the middle and upper areas of the tower.
Like most of the wizard towers in this world.
When the Grand Necromancer Asta originally designed it, he used the underground part as a warehouse, necromancy laboratory, and residence for slaves and servants.
The middle floor is a series of special functional rooms such as the library, workshop, exploration room, etc., as well as public places for apprentices to take classes, rest and conduct magical experiments.
As for the upper floor, it is his own private space.
No one is allowed to approach or enter without permission.
Otherwise, even if he is not there, the guards, traps and summoned creatures scattered throughout the passage can easily kill the invaders.
Zuo Si once saw with his own eyes an ambitious apprentice with a high wizard level who wanted to sneak in when Asta was out to find some knowledge or magic that could bring more powerful power.
As a result, he used magic to transform himself into a spirit invisible to the naked eye to deceive the two golems, and then was hit by the negative energy rays emerging from the smooth wall.
The result, of course, was a sudden death as expected.
The body lay there for weeks until it began to rot and give off a pungent stench, and Asta allowed the other apprentices to clean it up.
Looking at the two flesh golems standing at the door, which were more than three meters tall and nearly one meter wide, Wilmes, who was still in human form, immediately showed a fearful look and asked without even turning his head, "How many of these things are there?"
You should know that although the flesh golem does not look much different from the corpse creature in appearance, they are both made up of the corpses of various creatures.
The more corpses used and the larger their sizes, the stronger the corpse-like creatures and flesh-shaped golems obtained will be, and the more difficult they will be to kill.
But in terms of production process and difficulty, they are completely different.
The latter is simply a combination of splicing and can be harmed by any form of energy and physical attack.
But the former is a powerful guard created with necromancy. Whether it is the skin, muscles, or bones as supporting structure, they are all strengthened by magical power.
Not only does it possess all the characteristics of a construct creature, such as immunity to toxins, sleep, paralysis, stun, instant death, charm, control and a series of other spells and ability effects, it also has a powerful self-repair ability that is very similar to that of a troll.
Most importantly, the Flesh Golem is a "golem".
The biggest feature of the golem is that it has at least one type of spell immunity and resistance.
Many powerful wizards would rather face a dragon than fight a golem that restrains them.
“There are two at the door, and two more after you go through the passage and stairs to the upper floor, making a total of four.
In addition, we must also be careful of the hidden magical traps that may exist in the walls and floors of the passage, as well as eight metal construct creatures made of steel and a group of gargoyles in the room where the portal is located.
As for the specific type of metal construct, I am not very clear.
But they all had various weapons in their hands.
Of course, if we are unlucky enough, we might even meet Asta in person, or he may have turned into a lich, when we pass by his bedroom."
Zuo Si concealed nothing and told everything he knew directly.
Faced with such a powerful guarding force, if it weren't for the help of the Red Dragon, he might not be able to get through even if he had dozens of lives.
"Damn it! There are too many of them! Can't we climb up from the outside and then break in through the wall?"
If she was outside in a wider area, she might be able to use her flying and jumping abilities to maneuver around, and then find an opportunity to defeat them one by one.
But the problem is that this is inside the Mage Tower!
Although by human standards, the rooms are quite spacious in both height and area, there is no feeling of crowding or oppression at all.
But for a giant dragon that is 17 meters long including its tail, it is still too narrow and cannot move at all.
Moreover, the small space means there is no place to dodge or jump, so you have to confront multiple enemies that are threatening enough, and you might fail if you are not careful.
Zuo Si shook his head gently, interrupting this unrealistic fantasy neatly: "Don't dream! Do you think I haven't thought of this opportunistic method? Because the entire magician tower is an integrated structure.
As long as unknown and unauthorized creatures are detected approaching, whether from the ground or in the air, offensive spells will be immediately released to attack.
What's more, activating the portal will consume part of the tower's energy reserves.
If the energy reserves are depleted, we will have to wait at least ten days to recharge them.”
"Since there is no other choice, we can only force our way in."
After saying that, Wilmes instantly returned to the form of a dragon, opened his big mouth full of fangs and took a deep breath.
The next second...
boom!!!!!!!!
The scorching breath of fire instantly enveloped everything in the cone-shaped range in front.
The suffocating heat wave can be felt clearly even from several meters away.
Tables, chairs, sculptures, lamps and the like were all reduced to ashes in an instant.
Although the two flesh golems were within the spitting range and suffered severe burns, they were able to quickly repair themselves with their regenerative abilities and at the same time took a step forward to charge towards the giant beast that was attacking them.
"Get away! Dirty bastard!"
The red dragon finished its breath and roared, spreading its wings and launching a [Dragon Wing Attack] towards one of the flesh golems.
This is the signature move of almost all dragons in close combat.
Before the latter could stretch out his large hands covered with pus-filled blisters to grab something, his entire body flew into the air with a bang and hit the wall.
Immediately afterwards, Wilmes swung his front paws again, knocked another flesh-and-blood golem to the ground with an almost violent attitude, and then pounced on it and put all the weight of his body on it.
Bang! This made the tower seem to tremble slightly from top to bottom.
Zuo Si was completely shocked when he witnessed the Red Dragon’s terrifying combat power for the first time.
He suddenly realized how lucky he was to be able to control the other person.
If he hadn't been trapped in the binding array, there would have been absolutely no chance of success even if he had awakened the magical object made from the mind flayer's brain tissue.
It seems that the Necromancer Asta is doing the right thing.
When dealing with a terrifying beast like a dragon that stands at the top of the food chain, there is no room for "martial ethics".
We must not rashly engage in head-on confrontation.
Reduces magic resistance! Blindness!
Curse of weakness!
Strong bondage!
Before the dragon realizes the danger, try to take it away without giving it any chance to fight back.
