Just as Zuo Si and his group were using the fireball wand to implement the "kicking the door" tactics, clearing out all the monsters in the tomb one by one.
In the nest of the [Tangled Symbol] deep underground in Calim Port.
When the "Lord of the Symbols" Xie Lisha saw the two vampires she had arranged disappear from the magic projection on the stone table almost instantly, she couldn't help but question, "What happened? Why were my descendants defeated in an instant?"
“Just like those undead creatures that were swept away before.
They were hit head-on with two full hits of Fireball, which was equivalent to the casting level of a LV13 arcane caster.
Such damage is unbearable, not to mention two newborn vampires.
Even you yourself will not be in any good condition without any magical protection."
Another "Symbol Lord" Shangela explained with a gloating look.
Although the magic projection in front of him would not show too many details of the battle, he had already learned the general situation through other means.
"Damn it! It's that [Fireball Wand] again! Can't we send someone who can use Nine Rings Magic to directly cast [Great Disintegration] to destroy that nasty thing? This thing really affects the balance of the game.
Look what they did with this magic wand? All the monsters, traps and puzzles we carefully arranged were destroyed and damaged by the exploding fireballs.
This is not the kind of game I want to see!"
Sheleisa complained indignantly.
Although she is the youngest of all the "Lords of Symbols" present and has only been in this position for less than ten years, she has personally planned similar "games" more than once.
But no one has ever been like Zuo Si, who didn't care about rules and traditions at all.
Directly use the simplest, most violent and most effective way to solve all problems encountered.
He didn't care at all whether it was a waste to use the [Fireball Wand] worth 39,000 gold coins in an unknown tomb where he couldn't be sure whether there were enemies or monsters.
Nor does it matter whether doing so would destroy the valuable loot.
Looking at the vampire who was jumping up and down, the lich Ragon shook his head meaningfully and retorted: "No, my dear Sheleisa.
Game balance has been a false proposition from the beginning.
Only the weak who are unable to break out of the limitations of their inherent thinking will follow the rules set by others and succumb to established traditions.
But those who are truly strong, or those who have the potential to become strong, will find ways to circumvent the rules set by others and despise and break those traditions that are not in their favor.
They can even change the rules through a series of means to make them more favorable to themselves.
Through this game, we can clearly see this nature of Soth.
Without a doubt!
Although his spellcasting level may not be high enough, and he does not have enough spells and knowledge, he is already a real strong man in terms of his way of thinking and behavior.
For such a person, we cannot understand and demand him according to common sense, but perform a game to please everyone according to the so-called "script".
He, like everyone here, is a natural chess player, not a chess piece that can be played around with.
What's more, my original purpose was to hand the Book of the Dead to him through this game, and guide him step by step to become one of us.
As for the process and outcome of the game, it’s actually not important at all.
And don’t you think that the means and strategies he adopted in this game were very successful?
Whether it was the use of the [Fireball Wand], or the use of illusions to confuse the enemy, while hiding in the dark with the [Invisibility Wand], he showed extraordinary wisdom. "
"I don't understand. Since you want to understand the special abilities that Soth displayed when making magic items, why don't you contact him directly or use other means to trade?"
The dragon lich - Sapherak asked the question that had been bothering him for several days.
"Because some gods have noticed the existence of Soth.
If we rashly contact it, we may expose many of our hidden secrets.
Don't forget, this god has been investigating us and even wants to destroy the entire organization, so we must proceed with caution.
At least before we confirm that Soth is on our side, don't let him know about the existence of the [Entanglement Symbol]. "
As he said this, the two cold lights in Lakong's eyes suddenly grew brighter, showing the wisdom and caution of an evil lich and legendary spellcaster.
It was precisely because of this caution that after the tragic death of the first generation leader of the [Entangled Talisman], the entire organization not only did not perish, but also developed better and stronger than before.
Shangela supported without hesitation: “You are right!
The root of an organization's survival and growth is secrecy, and any symbol master and his core servants must follow this principle.
Regarding Soth, don't worry too much.
Even if he left Calimshan and settled in Askatra, the capital of Amn.
I can also observe and monitor it from the base I have established there."
"When did you establish a base in Askatla? Why have I never heard any news about it?" Xie Lisha showed a surprised expression on her face.
"It's been a while, probably. You're still young, and there are a lot of things you don't know." Shangela said with a playful and teasing tone.
As the most "human" of all the "Symbol Lords", he is one of the few guys who still retains a sense of humor after being transformed into an undead creature.
He often plays harmless jokes or pranks on other "Symbol Lords" or his subordinates under his control.
Of course, this horror-filled prank is not very funny to his men.
…
At the same time, in an ancient tomb deep in the Kalin Desert.
Zuo Si and his group finally encountered an enemy that could not be defeated with the [Fireball Wand].
It was a human who looked skinny and had his skin and muscles peeled off, but he had a huge head with exaggerated proportions and a scorpion-like hooked tail.
It was about two meters and seventy centimeters tall and probably weighed more than one hundred and eighty kilograms. Its two glowing red eyes were full of cunning and cruelty, and its skin was covered with a layer of disgusting acidic mucus.
Even after being hit head-on by a Fireball, he remained unharmed.
The reason is simple! This is a devil that is completely immune to all fire damage, and it is also a relatively advanced devil - the bone devil, also known as the Osai devil by scholars.
They were born on the fifth layer of the Nine Hells, are natural sadists, and often serve as prosecutors and interrogators for the devil's archdukes, taking pleasure in torturing mortal souls and lower-level devils of lower status than themselves.
However, the one in front of him was obviously imprisoned in the center of the tomb by the binding magic circle on the ground.
So after being attacked, it did not fight back immediately, but simply stood there and stared at the group of five people with a scrutinizing look.
The two sides fought for about ten seconds, and the Bone Demon took the lead in speaking in the common language of the surface: "Aha! A group of mortal adventurers! If I'm not mistaken, you should be forced to participate in this game like me, right?"
"Were you also forcibly summoned by a powerful spellcaster?" Zuo Si controlled the phantom and asked tentatively.
"Of course! Didn't you see the huge binding circle under my feet? After those damn bastards summoned me, they turned around and left without saying a word.
They didn't want to communicate at all, they just treated me as a prop in the game! Don't you think these guys are arrogant and annoying? So come and help to untie the restraints. Just use a hard weapon to break the silver runes in the upper right corner of the room.
Of course, in return, I can help you reach the bottom of the tomb, which is also the only exit leading to the outside world."
The bone demon tries to create an image that it is also a "victim" and tricks the mortals in front of it into releasing it.
