"It's... it's over?"

"Unbelievable! How on earth did those two people kill more than 70 vicious desert bandits in such a short time?"

"Yeah! That kid looks only about ten years old!"

"Shut up! That's not some child! That's a powerful and awesome wizard!"

"Look! There are no wounds on the bodies of these desert bandits! How were they killed?"

"It must be the power of magic!"

"Oh my God! These camels died in such a tragic way!"

“Damn it! Are you tired of living? Don’t touch those weird corpses with your bare hands! If you accidentally get infected with terrible toxins or curses, you’ll be doomed!”

…

Just as the mercenaries were carefully cleaning the battlefield and whispering to each other, Bernard finally used his loud roar to bring the panicked slaves and camels back to the chaos.

He didn't even have the mood to drink some water to moisten his smoking throat. He ran over in a hurry and asked nervously, "Sir Soth, what happened just now?"

"Nothing! Just a few stupid and greedy desert bandits, they were all dealt with." Zuo Si shrugged with a relaxed look on his face.

With the increase in the number of cards, spellcasting capabilities and magic items, he is no longer the "weakling" who had to rely on poisoning and deception to deal with a group of pirates.

Just the opposite!

Unless there is a warrior with very high spell resistance and immunity among the enemies, or a wizard, warlock, priest, or druid who masters arcane and divine powers, it is difficult to pose a threat to them.

You should know that in this world full of magical energy, almost all "professions" will use the ubiquitous magical energy to strengthen themselves.

Among them, spellcasters strengthen their own spell power, while warrior professions strengthen their own physical strength and resistance to spells.

A few warriors with high enough levels can even carry fireballs and magic missiles, take all the control spells and rush to the caster, then kill him with the weapons in their hands.

But unfortunately, there are no warriors above level 11 among these desert bandits.

In addition, they did not have enough magic weapons and equipment, and were eventually easily wiped out by the shadow army lurking in the darkness, and they were even unable to break into the camp where the caravan was stationed.

Especially large-scale killing and control spells, such as [Fireball], [Wither], [Spider Web], [Stinky Cloud], [Lightning], [Grease], etc., can easily block it dozens of meters away.

And through continuous killing, the shadow assassin - Yelnia has just successfully upgraded from an ordinary shadow to an "advanced shadow".

Both the damage caused by "touch" and the ghostly and flexible stealth and hiding abilities have been greatly improved.

In addition, she already had a certain level of thief and assassin professional skills, so she could often take the opponent's life with a sneak attack or backstab.

If he continued to kill like this, one day he might have an army of tens of thousands of shadows and become the legendary "Shadow King".

However, Zuo Si no longer had the mind to pay attention to Yelnia's changes into a "high-level shadow". His eyes were always fixed on the figure standing on the top of the huge sand dune not far away.

For some reason, this guy did not join the other desert bandits in charging, but stood there and watched from afar. Even when all the former were killed, he was not moved at all.

"Master, do you want us to rush over and capture him?" the werewolf girl Fangus asked in a low voice.

Zuo Si shook his head gently: "No need. I promise that if you get close, you will be killed by him without mercy. That guy is different from these bandits who are used as cannon fodder. He is the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"You mean... we were being targeted the moment we entered the desert?"

Bernard swallowed subconsciously, and an expression of panic and fear suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing the businessman so nervous, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Don't worry, they are probably not coming for you, but for me."

Paladin Ai Luolin ran over from a distance, panting, holding the two-handed sword distributed by the church. He shouted with all his strength, "Be careful! Get away from those corpses! They are not ordinary bandits!"

"What?"

The mercenary captain who was performing his duty of cleaning the battlefield was stunned for a moment, then blew the whistle without saying a word and called all his men back as quickly as possible.

After all, anyone with a bit of common sense would not turn a deaf ear to the warning issued by the Holy Knight.

As a result, they had only retreated about two-thirds of the way when the corpses on the ground suddenly exploded without any warning.

A young mercenary who had previously said that he wanted to save money to go home and get married, was too greedy and still insisted on continuing to "touch corpses". As a result, he was torn into pieces by the energy generated by the explosion of the corpse on the spot, without even a chance to scream.

As corpses exploded one after another, blood, internal organs, bones and muscles splattered everywhere, creating a purgatory-like scene.

And all this was entirely caused by the man standing on the sand dune in the distance.

He just raised his hands at this moment, guiding amazing magical energy.

All the blood, internal organs, bones and muscles were gathered together and slowly piled up on the ground to form a huge and terrifying arch of flesh and bones.

Through the skulls that constantly emit terrifying screams, one can even clearly see the souls of the dead who died naturally and were not transformed into shadow creatures.

Without a doubt!

This is the most evil, cruel and inhumane kind of necromancy magic.

It utilizes not only the physical body left behind after human death, but also the soul as the "fuel" to support the entire magic.

Such blatant and undisguised evil behavior immediately aroused the anger of the Holy Knight Ai Luolin.

Without even a second's hesitation, she immediately took out the amulet given to her by the high priest before she left, and activated the first-level divine spell [Blessed Weapon] stored inside.

moment!

The two-handed sword immediately emitted a golden sacred light.

The next second...

The young girl, who was only in her early twenties, rushed forward, raised her weapon and slashed hard at the "evil door" made of human bones and flesh.

“Destroy the evil!”

Bang! An invisible force field directly bounced her away.

The sword filled with the power of goodness cannot even touch the "Gate of Evil".

It was obvious that the novice paladin's ridiculous attacks were no different from tickling in front of the powerful and evil spellcaster on the dunes.

Just as Ai Luolin struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to rush forward again, Zuo Si raised his hand to stop her: "Don't waste your energy! Those protective force fields cannot be broken by ordinary physical attacks. Calm down, I want to see what the other party wants to do."

While speaking, Ai Luolin clearly saw that some cards with strange patterns and words on them appeared out of nowhere in Zuo Si's right palm.

Just as she was about to say something, the "evil door" made of living human flesh and bones suddenly released astonishing energy.

Immediately afterwards, these energies gathered into a vortex, eventually opening a portal to an unknown environment.

Almost at the same time, a letter slowly floated down from mid-air and landed right at Zuo Si's feet.
