This place was originally dirty, chaotic, and full of thefts and robberies. It was also the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves and several affiliated thieves' guilds.
If an outsider asks about the security situation here, the local residents will definitely warn in a half-joking tone not to provoke anyone.
Even a drunk sailor in the tavern or a child running around the streets.
This was because the sailors in the tavern might be spies planted by some pirate to gather information, and the kids running around were either specially trained pickpockets or spies who provided intelligence to various guilds and gangs.
That is to say, more than one-third of the population in this area may be directly or indirectly engaged in criminal activities, and the rest are also closely related to it.
As for the military camp set up by the city government in the dock area, it had already been corrupted and bought by the shadow thieves.
With their qualities, let alone maintaining law and order, just being able to rush to the scene after a crime occurs and deal with it is considered worthy of the salary.
Therefore, for a long time, although a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen, including the Six-member Council, had considerable industries here, they did not pay any attention to this place.
Instead, they allowed the Shadow Thieves to continue to expand their power and establish a dark order through the rules of the underworld.
The advantage of doing this is that there is no need to bear even the slightest social responsibility, and all the blame for social conflicts can be directly put on the Shadow Thieves Guild.
The Shadow Thieves Guild can use threats, intimidation, beatings, assassinations and other means to directly kill those who are dissatisfied, using blood and death to send out warnings so that civilians dare not speak out.
In this way, the Six-member Council and the nobles and wealthy businessmen behind them can make the lower-class civilians work for them at extremely low costs.
Men work hard every day carrying goods, while women can only serve the sailors who get off the ship by cooking, selling fish, washing clothes or selling their bodies. The children clamor all day long that they want to join the guild and become a "glorious" shadow thief when they grow up.
In some ways, the docklands of Azcatla used to be very similar to those in Mexico, across the ocean from Earth.
The government and the law have a very weak presence here. Instead, countless criminal organizations and gangs come together to form a delicate balance.
Compared with the former, people are more willing to believe the latter.
As for the smuggling and trafficking of various contraband items, it has almost become semi-open.
Many adventurers who cannot afford the high-end goods in the Adventurer's Market in the Woking Mall area like to choose their favorite weapons and armor in the black market here.
But now, since Zuo Si came to power, he has vigorously suppressed the shadow thieves who were split into two parts, and the rampant criminal activities before have almost disappeared.
The credibility of the government and the law was re-established through ruthless purges of the Shadow Thieves time and time again.
Although at the beginning, the leaders of both sides tried to force officials to surrender by means of money, intimidation and inducement, turning a blind eye and opening back doors for themselves just like in the days of the Six-Man Council.
But they soon discovered that all the methods that had worked before were no longer useful.
No matter who it is, as long as he dares to threaten officials and attempts to bribe them, this guy and his entire family will disappear the next morning.
No one knew what had happened. The only thing we knew was that these missing people never appeared again on the streets of the dock area or even the entire city.
When the confrontation was at its most intense, dozens of households and two to three hundred people disappeared from the dock area in just one night.
In the end, Zuo Si completely freed the dock area from the control of the Shadow Thief at the cost of the disappearance of a total of 1,800 people. No one dared to take the benefits given by the Shadow Thief anymore, and no one dared to work for the Shadow Thief or even kill people.
Facts have proven that fighting violence with violence is always the simplest and most effective way.
Of course, not all of these disappeared people were dealt with, but were exiled by ship to the Maztec continent colony on the other side of the ocean.
However, in order to create sufficient deterrence and warning effect, Zuo Si did not reveal the whereabouts of these missing people to too many people, so that everyone was frightened by his iron-blooded methods.
It was precisely because of this ruthless attitude, which would rather destroy it than allow anyone to build a country within a country or a city within a city on his territory, that many people clearly realized his nature as a tyrant for the first time.
Either obey or die.
Zuo Si used the most direct action to issue an ultimatum to the two divided Shadow Thieves Guilds.
In desperation, Maiwa and Reinol Bloodhead began to try to transform and abandon their criminal business, and continued to advance into the catering, entertainment and gambling industries.
Because there is no other way except transformation.
Due to the complete replacement of the entire city's law enforcement system, their subordinates would be arrested immediately if they committed a crime, unlike before when they could be released quickly by just paying money.
In addition, the previous severe crackdown made it difficult to recruit personnel, and they also had to maintain a high-intensity guild war, so they naturally could not afford such losses.
As for smuggling...
I'm sorry, but right now the entire west coast all the way to the Sea of Light and the Steam Lake in the south are all within the coverage of the Imperial Navy.
Any ship that leaves the port will be immediately marked on the magic map.
Not only do you have to voluntarily pay a protection fee, but you also have documentation at any time about what's inside and where it's been shipped to.
Want to engage in smuggling in this environment? Dream on!
Perhaps the Shadow Thieves Guild did not realize this at the beginning.
But after several targeted interceptions and high fines, they realized something was wrong and decisively gave up this business that had once made them very profitable.
The current Old Town Pier is more of a place for indulgence and enjoyment than a port.
Most of the old wooden and brick buildings have been demolished, and replaced by four- to six-story specialty pubs, hotels, casinos and places engaged in special service industries, which can also be referred to as the red light district.
The real port and warehouses had long been moved to the larger new urban area.
Especially influenced by some special costumes brought by Zuo Si from another earth, the women standing at the door soliciting customers in many places here look extremely sexy and attractive.
Often a few provocative actions and words can attract many people, who are willing to go in and spend all their money.
There are also some singing and dancing performances performed in dim environments, which directly hit the most primitive instinctive desires of human beings.
Many sailors or outsiders who land here for the first time will be involuntarily attracted by the bold, wild and unrestrained enthusiasm of the ladies, and unknowingly become deeply trapped in it.
Shapeshifters who specialize in role-playing with guests, succubi who can allow mortals to experience the ultimate pleasure, and tieflings full of exotic charm, these are not something that can be easily experienced in other cities.
If you investigate further, you will find that the red-light district of Athkatla is rapidly moving towards professionalization, specialization and industrialization.
There are even institutions that specialize in providing training to practitioners so as to give customers both physical and mental satisfaction, making them fall uncontrollably in love with this place.
After all, survival and reproduction are the main themes of most organisms' lives.
Especially the latter, which may have higher authority than the former.
It's not like you can control it just because you want to.
Quite the opposite!
The reproductive instinct, which is at the most basic level like eating, drinking and sleeping, must be satisfied to a certain extent, otherwise people will start to go crazy, become twisted and perverted.
The best proof of this was Aberdare's eyes, which didn't know where to look at this moment.
As a son of Baal with thriving hormones and a body that is at an age of extreme desire for the opposite sex, his heartbeat has begun to accelerate uncontrollably, his face has flushed, and he has been swallowing saliva.
What's more, those young girls standing at the door soliciting customers are so tempting that the reason and instinct in the mind are repeatedly fighting for control of the body.
The most important thing is that Jaheira has something urgent to do and is not in the team at the moment.
This aroused a strong impulse in Aberdare, who had not seen a woman for a long time.
If possible, he wanted to quickly get some gold coins and find a store to go to.
It’s a pity that we can’t do that now.
First, he was penniless at the moment, and he was too embarrassed to ask Imoen or Sancho for money.
Second, the purpose of the team's trip was to defeat a powerful and evil demilich, not to have fun.
Therefore, Aberdare could only hope that the demilich was rich and could find rich loot after the battle.
In this way, he can take his share of the reward, have a good time in this "paradise" and then return to the Mage Tower.
It has to be said that the behavioral logic of this adopted son of Gorion has always been terribly simple, with a kind of beauty of brain stem deficiency and single-celled organisms.
真无法想象一名烛堡的学者，侍奉知识之神欧格玛的牧师兼法师，会在那么多年的时间里养出这么个东西。
因为对于阿伯戴尔来说，满足食欲和性欲永远是排在第一位的，然后才是复仇和当佣兵赚钱。
而赚钱则是为了吃到更美味的食物、玩到更多、更漂亮的女人。
至于剩下的什么理想、道德、野心通通都无所谓。
就这种行为模式，说是在北地某个野蛮人部落长大的，都比说在烛堡图书馆长大的令人感到信服。
不过阿伯戴尔显然并不觉得自己有什么问题。
尤其在成功学会了一个武技——超强斩击之后整个人都飘了，觉得没有什么对手能挡得住自己这威猛无比的必杀。
因为在训练中，他曾经用这一招斩断了不下六七把训练用的钢剑。
相比之下，由于头部遭受重创导致智力受损的明斯特则相对单纯许多，仅仅是对阿斯卡特拉无法用语言形容的繁华与奢靡感到震惊，时不时跟自己肩膀上那只黄皮耗子——布布窃窃私语两句，看上去就如同神经病一样。
最后配合那个光头壮汉的形象与脸上涂抹的油彩，立马让周围的行人都对其退避三舍。
生怕这位看起来不太聪明的家伙突然发病，拔出剑来把自己砍成肉酱。
就这样，六人小队很快穿过遍布着诱惑的街道，在一条被许多高层建筑遮挡的小巷后边，找到了一栋看上去非常不起眼的老房子。
桑乔仔细对比了一下手上的简易地图，很快转过身说道：“就是这里了。怎么样，你们都做好准备了吗？”
“当然！让我们快点砍死这个半巫妖，然后卖掉战利品好好去享受一番吧。”阿伯戴尔急不可耐的催促道。
作为跟他拥有相近性格的明斯克更是直截了当拔出武器附和道：“没错！这将是明斯克与布布传奇冒险生涯的开始！在正面战斗中击败一个邪恶而又强大的巫妖，没什么比这更令人期待的事情了。”
“吱吱！”
被称作布布的黄皮耗子也跟着用后腿站起来发出了标志性的叫声。
也不知道是不是最近住在法师塔内伙食比较好的关系，它看起来比之前长大了不少，而且毛色又油又亮。
“哈哈！快看！布布在告诉我们要小心巫妖的法术呢。多聪明的小家伙，每次都能给我正确的建议。”
明斯特侧过头用脸颊蹭了蹭仓鼠毛茸茸的身体。
毫无疑问，作为队伍中的搞笑担当，这一人一鼠绝对是合格的。
起码旁边的爱蒙已经噗嗤一声捂着肚子笑了出来。
注视着明斯克与阿伯戴尔两位加在一起可能都凑不出半个脑子的临时队友，魅魔萝莉终于忍不住扶着头吐槽道：“你们俩真的知道一名半巫妖意味着什么吗？
还有就是明斯克，你确定要在这种战斗中带上一只仓鼠？ 它在大范围群体伤害性法术面前只要被命中，立刻就会当场变成尸体。
就算没有被大范围伤害魔法命中，要是中了定身之类的控制法术，也有可能掉在地上不小心被踩死。”
“布布可不是普通的仓鼠，而是超级无敌宇宙大仓鼠。它非常聪明，能照顾好自己。”明斯克义正言辞的反驳道。
“算了，随你的便吧。”
魅魔萝莉无奈的叹了口气，明显已经放弃了跟这些没有脑子的单细胞生物讲道理。
累了，毁灭吧，赶紧的。
反正不管情况糟糕到什么程度，主人最后都会出面收拾残局。
眼下她想要做的只有一件事情，那就是尽快与这群傻子分开，最好永远也不要再见面。
不过桑乔显然并没有察觉到魅魔萝莉的异常反应，此刻正全神贯注打量着这栋隐藏在“高楼”中间的矮小破旧建筑，摸着下巴喃喃自语道：“奇怪！ 以导师那种近乎强迫症的性格，怎么可能会留下这样一个建筑没有拆除呢？
莫非他早就发现了康葛斯的封印地点，所以故意将其留下来给我们作为试炼吗？
还是说这里边隐藏了什么我们不知道的秘密？”
“管他呢。
反正都已经到这一步了，无论如何都要将其击败。
而且我能感觉到，经过这几次战斗之后，我对于很多魔法的掌握越发熟练了。
也许索斯想要看到的就是我们在这种不断战斗的过程中获得成长吧。”
说罢，队伍中唯一拥有盗贼等级的爱蒙径直走到大门前，小心翼翼检查着门上所有可疑的花纹和可能隐藏在锁芯内部的机关。
没过一会儿功夫，她就成功拆除了上边的陷阱并随手打开锁，露出了里边散发着浓郁霉味的屋子。
由于地面、桌子、椅子上都覆盖了厚厚的一层灰尘，因此可以初步判断出这里至少有几十年没人来过，墙角和屋顶的蜘蛛网都已经多到令人感到头皮发麻的程度。
可能是靠近海边比较潮湿的关系，墙角之类阴暗的地方还长出了五颜六色的真菌。
一条通往地下的阶梯就那样堂而皇之的放置在屋子西南角。
爱蒙用盗贼独特的观察方式巡视了一下四周，紧跟迅速释放二环神术【寻找陷阱】。
这是她觉醒巴尔血脉之后获得的类法术能力之一。
与阿伯戴尔的治疗和召唤圣力不同，女孩获得的法术全部都是倾向于预言系的。
而且也不知道为什么，她始终无法获得变身成为杀戮者的能力。
很显然，由于半路从盗贼转职成为了法师，所以爱蒙并不像专业盗贼那样拥有很高的职业技能。
也正因为如此才会选择释放神术来侦测周围范围内可能存在的陷阱。
确认这一层没有任何危险之后，她这才转过身笑着跟队友们说道：“一切安全！我们现在可以去下一层了。”
“那还等什么，一起下去吧。”
阿伯戴尔显然是个行动派，立刻便拔出剑扛在肩膀上，踩着吱嘎作响仿佛随时都有可能塌陷的腐烂地板，径直朝楼梯所在的位置走去。
但仅仅一秒之后，桑乔就一把拉住了他的斗篷，没好气的翻了个白眼：“你这是急着去送死好快点投胎吗？
在开战之前咱们得做点准备。
维康尼亚你来准备防护和强化神术，其他人把防护灵魂捕捉的药水喝下去。”
说话的功夫，男孩从包里取出赊账购买的昂贵魔法药剂，小心翼翼给每个人分了一瓶。
这可是最顶级的消耗品，只有掌握九环法术的大法师才能制作，一瓶就要接近五千金币。
所以他脸上浮现出了根本无法掩饰的肉疼表情，只希望战斗能一次成功，到时候把黄金骨架的残骸收拾一下变卖掉还债。
作为小队中的智力担当和参谋，桑乔无疑是合格的。
起码在跟左思的学习中，他知道战前施法的重要性，以及在应对不同敌人时使用什么样的法术比较好。
没过一会儿功夫，各种防护邪恶、援助术、祝福术、熊之坚韧、牛之力量、防护能量伤害、行动自如等法术就一个接一个被加持在所有人的身上。
不仅如此！
维康尼亚还为队伍中的三名近战成员提供了高等魔化武器和毁灭武器，以确保他们能够对半巫妖那坚硬到难以置信的身体造成伤害。
要知道与普通的巫妖不同，半巫妖最强大的地方就在于它的体积通常非常小，只剩下一个头骨或者手骨、腿骨。
这也就意味着，想要命中它远比命中一个至少拥有完整骨架的巫妖困难许多。
再加上拥有极高的物理与魔法抗性，导致普通乃至低级魔法武器都无法对其造成有效伤害。
通常来说，只有附魔等级+3以上的武器才能真正威胁到半巫妖。
除此之外半巫妖还有一个非常致命的能力，那就是它拥有完美的超自然飞行速度，可以在一两秒之内就逃出近战敌人的打击范围，甚至飞上半空你够不着的地方进行施法。
在完成了所有的前置准备工作之后，阿伯戴尔和明斯克一马当先冲进了通往下层的台阶。
眨眼功夫，小队就来到了一个位于地下大概三十米深的巨大地下室。
几个加持了不灭明焰的火把正矗立在四周，给这个充斥着负能量的阴沉地窖带来了还算不错的可见度。
位于地窖的中心位置，摆放着一个与之前两名保管黄金骨架巫妖相差无几的沉重石棺。
由于有了第一次炙热之心骑士团圣武士团灭的教训，因此桑乔先对棺材做了个魔法侦测，确认其不是什么陷阱后，这才径直走到近前打算把手里动过手脚的黄金骨架给康葛斯送过去。
可还没等他靠近石棺，就立刻感觉到脑海之中回荡着一个声音。
“帮我……求你帮帮我！我被囚禁在了这里！”
Telepathy?
So he immediately responded: "Who are you? How can I help you?"
Kongos had obviously been imprisoned for too long that he did not realize that the other party was prepared. He hurriedly explained: "I am an innocent poor man. I was ambushed and plotted against by those damned traitors, and ended up in this situation. I swear, as long as I can help find the golden skeleton and open the seal, I will do my best to repay you."
"Golden skeleton?"
Sancho pretended to be shocked, then walked to the coffin in a pretentious manner and poured the heavy skeleton directly onto the coffin from the dimensional bag.
Before he could explain the origin of this thing, Kongs immediately exclaimed in ecstasy: "It's a golden skeleton! I... I can feel its presence! Quick, give it to me."
Along with the impatient urging, the originally closed coffin was suddenly torn open slowly by some powerful magical force, and then two eerie red lights flashed wildly in the dark interior.
You don't need to ask to know that this red light is the magical organ in the half-lich's eye socket that replaces the eyes.
"How can I give it to you?"
Sancho put on an expression that was very consistent with the nervousness and fear of a boy of his age.
Kangus obviously didn't want to scare the savior he had waited for for who knows how many centuries, so he didn't reveal the golden skull. Instead, he bewitched him in the gentlest tone possible: "Throw it in, throw it into the coffin through this gap. Don't be afraid, child, I promise to fulfill your dream when we get out."
"Okay... okay, you have to keep your word."
Sancho resisted the urge to burst out laughing and threw the golden skeleton into the opened sarcophagus little by little.
When the last thigh bone was brought in, he immediately ran towards the door near the stairs.
The next second...
A ray of red light with a black tinge suddenly fell from the sky and hit the solid sarcophagus directly.
Boom!!! The terrifying energy explosion directly tore the hard rock into pieces, and quickly turned it into sand as it splashed in all directions.
Finally, a skeleton made entirely of gold appeared out of thin air.
Although its appearance does not differ much from that of an ordinary low-level undead creature - a skeleton, its eye sockets are inlaid with two completely transparent blue crystals, which look a bit like gems and a bit like crystals.
The thirty teeth on the skull were completely replaced with top-quality gemstones of different colors.
There is no doubt that this is the true identity of the half-lich Kangus.
In other words, the golden skull inlaid with a large number of gems on the skeleton is the main body.
As for the gems, if nothing unexpected happens, some of them should be soul gems obtained through continuous tempering of evil magic.
The rest may store certain spells, or serve as partial substitutes for magical equipment.
Since Sancho's knowledge reserves are not as rich as Zuo Si's, it is difficult to see any clues for the time being.
“Hahahahahaha!
How many years?
How many years have I been sealed?
Now the great Kongos is back!
No one can stop my plan. I will kill and let the blood flow like a river! Be afraid! Scream! Foolish and ignorant mortals! Your death and soul will become the nourishment for me to grow stronger.
But before that, I have some things to do.”
With hysterical laughter and shouting, the half-lich slowly turned around and cast his gaze towards the adventure team hiding at the stairs, grinning and saying: "In order to repay you for letting me regain my freedom, I will generously and mercifully grant you a quick death.
After all, human life is so fragile, and sooner or later everyone will die.
Rather than endure the pain of aging and injury, it is better to embrace the final outcome.
Don't worry, the process is not painful at all.
And it was very quick, it was over in just a moment.”
As the last word came out of his mouth, Kongos raised his hand and began to cast powerful necromancy magic.
As an undead spellcaster with a spellcasting level of LV32, he may not be as strong as top warriors like Shane VII who once controlled a huge empire and had countless resources at his disposal, but he is definitely enough to crush a group of seemingly young rookie adventure teams.
Especially those who were obviously underage, such as Sancho, Imoen, and Succubus Loli, caused the Demi-Lich to misjudge them at the first moment.
I'm afraid Kanggus would never have dreamed that in the six-man team before him, there were three Sons of Baal, a succubus loli who was equivalent to the Chosen One of the Great Devil and a divine creature, and a devil priest who mastered the Nine-Ring Divine Art.
Even Minsk, the comedian, will become a famous legendary hero in the continent of Faerun in the future.
Just when the half-lich thought that these rookies were so frightened by him that they didn't know what to do, the panic-stricken expression on the face of Sancho, the leader, suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a sinister and cunning look that was not in line with his age.
moment!
His sixth sense suddenly started to sound the alarm, realizing that the situation seemed different from what he had imagined.
Unfortunately, it's already too late.
Sancho raised his hands and made a standard spell triggering motion, while shouting to several other teammates: "Close your eyes!"
The next second...
Boom!!!! A dazzling light emanated from the interior of the golden skeleton. The huge positive energy instantly made Kongus realize what was happening, and he immediately roared in shock and disbelief.
"No!!!!!!!!!!"
Obviously, he never dreamed that these rookie adventurers who suddenly broke in and helped him break free from the seal would actually come to take his life.
Especially those gem bombs hidden in the golden skeleton. Without sufficiently advanced magic knowledge and related skills, it would be impossible to fit them in.
But unfortunately, it's too late.
The positive energy released by the explosion shattered the negative energy that the undead creatures depended on for survival with great force.
In a dazzling white light, the golden skeleton shattered into countless fragments and residues.
Only the golden skull on the spine, which served as the body of the demilich, barely survived this deadly trap, but a large number of cracks appeared on its surface.
If someone rushed up and knocked it at this moment, it would surely break into pieces.
"Now! Go smash that golden skull!"
Sancho, who had just opened his eyes, shouted at Aberdare and Minsk.
"Hey, hey! Leave it to me!"
Aberdare showed a bloodthirsty expression, swung his two-handed sword and rushed forward.
Minsk and his yellow mouse followed closely behind.
Just when the two thought that this attack was sure to succeed, two red lights suddenly flashed in the eye sockets of the golden skull that had fallen to the ground and lay motionless.
Before they could react, an extremely terrifying magical energy instantly enveloped everything within a nine-meter radius.
All living things within this range, without exception, felt the temperature that was indescribable, and a large amount of water in their bodies was evaporating at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Aberdare, who was at the front, fell to the ground instantly. He lost too much water and couldn't even get up.
Minsk, who had no divine power or protection, was in an even worse situation. His eyes rolled back and he went into shock and pretended to be dead on the spot.
On the contrary, Bubu, as a hamster, was more alert. The moment he sensed danger, he immediately jumped out of the range of magic and ran up the stairs to the upper floor.
Eighth-ring arcane magic——[Abidach Withering]! Sancho recognized this fatal spell and his face changed drastically. He immediately endured the pain and discomfort and shouted to Viconia, the dark elf with extremely high spell resistance in the team: "Heal! We need healing!"
Obviously, this necromancy spell of a fairly high level has the effect of evaporating the water in the bodies of all enemies within range, and it is especially effective against water elemental creatures.
Its destructive power and damage effect are directly linked to the level of the caster.
With Kanggus's spellcasting level, if he uses the super magic technique - spell extreme effect, then in theory only one [Abidach Withering Spell] is needed to instantly kill a fully armed team of top adventurers.
The reason why Sancho and others did not die immediately was that the protective spells they had cast before took effect, as well as the extra resistance brought by divinity and divine power.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the team, Kongos, who was left with only the golden skull, immediately floated up and threw two negative energy spells at himself.
In the blink of an eye, the dense cracks on the skull completely disappeared.
After doing all this, he stared at the boy not far away with resentful eyes, opened his teeth covered with colorful gems and chanted a spell.
"Damn it! Stop him from casting the spell!"
The sound of the spell immediately alerted Sancho, and he wanted to identify and counter it as soon as possible.
But the problem was that after listening for a long time he still couldn't figure out what kind of magic the other party was casting.
Imoen habitually used magic missiles to interrupt.
But the force field dart that was flashing with faint light was immediately absorbed by an invisible barrier the moment it hit the half-lich, without even a splash of water.
"What is that?"
The girl asked with her eyes wide open, looking confused.
"Spell immunity! This guy may be immune to all spells of the first to second levels!"
The succubus Loli gave the answer in a serious tone.
Because she had seen similar effects on some demon lords and her own master, she knew very well what this phenomenon meant.
While the two were talking, the silencing spell cast by Viconia also had no effect.
Sancho realized the seriousness of the problem and did not bother to think too much. He rushed directly to the bottom of the half-lich and began to prepare the eighth-ring magic [Sunfire Explosion], intending to gamble that the spell prepared by the opponent was higher level and longer than his own.
But unfortunately, he lost the bet in the end.
Kongos shot a blinding beam of light directly at the boy below him, stripping him of almost all of his protective spells in a second.
moment!
Sancho was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Because this was a magic he had never seen or heard of before.
Moreover, without protective spells, a mage is basically a fragile creature that can be slaughtered at will, only one step away from death.
The demilich obviously knew this, so he started with the automatic, instant-cast three-ring fireball spell.
Looking at the fireball flying towards his face, Sancho didn't even have time to think, and directly triggered the accidental magic chain door.
As soon as he teleported away, a fireball hit the place where he had just stood and exploded.
boom!!!!
The dazzling firelight instantly illuminated the originally dark cellar, and also made the remaining few people feel that the situation was not good.
Before they could figure out what to do next, Aberdale, who had just been knocked down by [Abidach Withering Technique], suddenly showed a strange reaction.
His body began to twitch, his eyes began to emit a creepy rainbow light, a large number of bone spurs quickly grew out from the middle of his joints, and his skin also showed a thick and hard stratum corneum.
In just a few seconds, a complete killer appeared in front of everyone.
However, this time, Aberdare, who had transformed into a killer, did not target the demilich floating in the blind spot above his head, but instead locked onto his teammates.
"Oh, my goodness! We are in great trouble now."
Imoen couldn't help but shudder, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
As a girl with a big heart and courage, she felt that the only way out now was to turn around and run away.
Otherwise, dealing with a powerful demilich and an unhelpful Aberdare at the same time would be basically tantamount to suicide.
Perhaps others do not know how terrifying the Slayer form of the Son of Bhaal is, but Imoen, who has witnessed Aberdare's transformation more than once at close range, knows it very well.
The succubus Loli glared at Sancho next to her angrily and said sarcastically, "Look what I told you before?
It was a mistake to let those two idiots who didn't have half a brain together join the team!
But you just don't listen!
Now, I want to see how you end up."
"At a time like this, please stop making sarcastic remarks and think about how to save your life and survive."
Sancho was obviously a little anxious.
There's no way not to be anxious.
Because when facing Aberdale in the killer form, this guy can go all out, but others have to be timid and dare not kill him at all.
Otherwise, once the Son of Baal dies, his soul will be absorbed into the Throne of Blood and become nourishment for the resurrection of the God of Murder.
If it were any other time, Sancho could naturally use the Wall of Force, Bigbait and Big Hand series of spells to control it, waiting for the desire to kill to disappear and gradually return to normal.
But now they have to deal with a powerful demilich with legendary spellcasting abilities, and the situation suddenly becomes overwhelmingly unfavorable to them.
What does it mean when it rains it pours?
That's it.
"Humph! Trash!"
With a disdainful tone, the succubus loli slowly raised the magically strengthened beheading giant sword in her hand, began to pray devoutly, and slowly walked forward.
With every step she took, the black and red aura on her body became stronger, and at the same time, she seemed to be surrounded by the purgatory fire from the deepest part of Baator Hell.
This unusual phenomenon immediately aroused Kongs's vigilance.
For the purpose of testing, he once again used the automatic spell to instantly cast the famous second-ring curse spell [Ma Youfu's Strong Acid Arrow].
The biggest feature of this spell is that it can cause continuous damage to the target before the summoned strong acid energy disappears, making it difficult for the target to easily enter the state of concentration in casting spells.
Unfortunately, the succubus Loli directly blocked it with the wide blade of the beheading sword.
As for the splashes on the armor, it didn't cause even the slightest corrosive effect.
After all, the armor she wore was made by Zuo Si using the dehydrated skin, bones and internal organs of a demon planeswalker, so both physical defense and magic resistance were maximized.
When the little guy stepped into the killer's warning range, Aberdare, who had long lost his mind, rushed over roaring like a wild beast.
The bone daggers surrounding his body flew towards him one after another.
"Get lost! You brainless idiot, I don't have time to waste with you right now."
The succubus Loli instantly spread her wings covered with hard metal and flew into the air to avoid the flying bone dagger, while at the same time slamming her armor-covered knee into the killer's chin.
Bang! No surprises.
Aberdare was knocked back four or five meters and hit the hard stone wall.
Although he tried several times to struggle to get up and fight back, he lost his balance and fell down as soon as he stood up.
Needless to say, this is the result of a violent impact on the jaw causing the brain tissue inside the skull to shake constantly.
In many fighting competitions, including boxing, there is a high probability that similar situations will occur to anyone who suffers a severe blow to the chin.
Although the Slayer is a divine creature, its physiological structure is no different from that of other human creatures and will naturally be affected.
Not to mention the succubus loli's physical fitness, especially her instantaneous explosive power, which is simply beyond the reach of mortals.
“Are you a voter?”
Kongers asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
"It doesn't matter what I am. What matters is that you are going to die today no matter what."
The succubus Loli took a deep breath, and attached the divinity in her body and the flames from purgatory to the blade of the beheading giant sword, with a faint light like a ruby flashing in her pupils.
You don't need to ask to know that she is finally going to show her real ability...
