Generally speaking, only the Abyss Fiends, who are at the top of the strict pyramid-shaped power structure of the entire Baator Hell, and the Dukes of Hell and even the Level Lords who are higher than the Abyss Fiends, have the possibility of obtaining the power to dominate and use it.
So normally if you see someone using Hellfire Breath in battle, you can basically determine that this guy is either a disguised Archdevil, or has made some kind of deal with the Archdevil, or is simply a high-level believer and elect of the Archdevil.
As a legendary demilich with a spellcasting level of LV32, although Kangus has been sealed for hundreds or even thousands of years, his knowledge reserves are not bad at all.
With just one glance, he recognized the hellfire that the succubus loli had attached to the sword, as well as the power that represented the ultimate evil and lawfulness of Baator Hell.
As a guy with chaotic evil alignment, Kongos obviously doesn't like the lawful devil at all, and tries to capture the other's soul without saying a word.
It turned out that it was blocked by an invisible magical protection.
This undoubtedly made him more certain that this group of people were coming for him, so he used the super magic skill of silent spell casting and the special ability of the half-lich - the perfect automatic stillness spell, and successfully released the nine-ring spell magic [Gate to Another World].
In the blink of an eye, a huge portal opened out of nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, a Balrog from the Abyss appeared out of nowhere, waving his beheading giant sword and flaming whip and letting out a deafening roar.
Obviously, the function of the perfect automatic stillness spell is to allow the demilich to completely exempt from all casting actions when casting known spells.
Combined with the silent casting of spells, you can basically complete the spell preparation secretly without anyone noticing.
After all, a demi-lich often has only a skull left of the entire body, and has no hands to perform complex spellcasting movements. He can only coordinate through the soul and thus master this special spellcasting technique.
I have to say that this move is indeed quite insidious, and can even deceive the perception of many great wizards.
In addition, the bloody battle between demons and devils created an irreconcilable deep hatred. As soon as the Balor Flame Demon appeared, he locked onto the succubus loli not far away and roared in the Abyssal language: "Damn traitor! Bitch who betrayed the great will of the Abyss! I will tear you into pieces!"
"Don't talk nonsense! If you have the guts, come over here and see who will tear whom apart!"
The succubus loli directly tore off her usual disguise as a charming and lovely young lady, revealing her cruel, bloodthirsty and aggressive side.
In fact, this is her truest side.
After all, a lower-dimensional creature that relies on absorbing the life and magical energy of others to maintain its own existence can basically be 100% sure that its camp must be extremely evil.
It’s just that after staying with Zuo Si for a long time, the little guy inevitably developed some peculiar hobbies and habits.
For example, they always like to disguise themselves as harmless and lovable in front of others, and only when they are enjoying the prey they are interested in will they reveal their evil thoughts and nature.
The devil's nature is chaotic, impulsive and arbitrary.
If the devil heard these words, he might try carefully before deciding what strategy to adopt.
But the Balrog summoned by [Gate to Another World] did just the opposite. It rushed over with its beheading sword in hand, wanting to chop the succubus who had defected to its mortal enemy, the Devil of Hell, into a paste.
If you don’t agree, just do it!
This is the most typical demonic behavior pattern.
No matter what strategies or tactics, just get out of here as far as you can. All I want is a satisfying life.
When their minds are taken over by strong impulses, they never consider the consequences.
What's more, the other party is just a small succubus, who often becomes a tool for the strong to vent their desires in the abyss.
Ever since the succubus queen Mecanthut brought the 570th layer of the abyss - Shendiravel to join the forces of Hell, the status of the remaining succubi has plummeted.
Now they are basically either commanders who command low-level demon cannon fodder, or they have become the mother that breeds a new generation of demons.
Unfortunately, this Balrog obviously didn't know that Atona was not an ordinary succubus, but a high-level experimental subject that Zuo Si used to clarify the relationship between faith and believers.
When he was confidently about to decapitate the enemy with one strike, the latter disappeared as a shadow.
Martial arts—increase in ability! Martial arts—accelerate the flow of water! Martial arts—break the wind! Martial arts—instant reflection! Martial arts—four-light slash! The Balor Flame Demon didn’t even react to what happened, and his hard skin instantly burst open, blood spurting out like a fountain.
Through the dim light in the cellar, one could vaguely see that his strong and tall chest was cut with four wounds deep enough to see the bone.
What's even more terrible is that the power that symbolizes order is constantly invading the body through the wounds, causing unimaginable damage to its chaotic nature.
“Ah ...
The severe pain made the Balrog go crazy. He raised his hands and tried to release spell-like abilities or summon other demons to help.
But unfortunately, after the succubus Loli succeeded in her attack, she didn't give the opponent even a little time to react, and turned around and used one of her killer moves [Breaking Chaos Slash].
In an instant!
A powerful lawful force was attached to the blade, emitting a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, she turned into a shadow again, swung the beheading giant sword in her hand and killed the enemy with one blow.
boom!!!!!!!!
Accompanied by violent explosions and flames, the entire body of the powerful Balrog exploded in an instant.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the [Burning Explosion] effect triggered upon death, half of which is fire damage and half is evil damage.
But the succubus Loli was unharmed thanks to the protection of hellfire and magic armor, and slowly walked out of the flames.
Seeing this, Kongos did not dare to hesitate for even a second, and immediately released the legendary magic he had prepared during the one minute that Balor the Flame Demon had bought.
In a flash, a white snowball emitting a biting chill appeared out of nowhere, flew straight to the location where the succubus Loli was, and then suddenly exploded with a bang.
Countless tiny ice and snow particles enveloped everything within a six-meter radius at an unimaginable speed.
The extremely low temperature, which was beyond description, instantly extinguished all the flames created by the Balor Flame Demon's [Burning Explosion], and even the hellfire from the deepest part of Baator Hell became dying, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next second.
As for the succubus loli, her entire body was covered with a thick layer of frost, and she was frozen in place like an ice sculpture.
The ambient temperature in the cellar has changed from the unbearable high temperature just now to the extreme cold now.
It was so cold that Imoen, Sancho and Viconia, who were outside the spell's range, had stiff hands and feet and were unable to perform any complex spellcasting movements.
Minsk, who fell unconscious within the spell's range, was even more miserable. He was killed instantly by the biting cold, and his body was then transformed into a corpse demon.
This is an undead creature somewhere between a ghoul and a ghost that can take away life force with just a touch.
However, he is obviously a subspecies from cold regions. He looks similar to the White Walkers in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. His real scientific name is also called White Walker. He has pale skin and icy blue eyes, and can cause additional cold damage when touched.
In addition, all corpse demons have the ability to create derivative bodies.
Any living person killed by them will turn into a weaker corpse in a very short time.
Obviously, the function of this legendary magic is to first create a large amount of cold damage to kill the target, and then transform the killed person into an undead spirit such as a corpse demon as a servant.
"The Great Devil's Chosen Ones? Nothing more than that! Now, are you ready to say goodbye to this world once and for all?"
Seeing that the succubus Loli had been controlled by the legendary magic and seemed to have lost her ability to fight, Konggus's tone became arrogant again.
He could clearly observe that the last three people in the team were shivering with cold, their limbs and fingers were stiff, and it was obviously very difficult for them to cast spells.
"No! Lich, this game is not over yet."
Sancho instantly activated the magic storage ring in his hand and fired a seven-ring [Delayed Burst Fireball] at the frozen succubus loli.
轰！！！！！ 伴随着爆炸、火光与震耳欲聋的响声，包裹在后者身上的冰霜瞬间融化，整个人在极短的时间又重新恢复了行动能力，抬手便将扑向自己的尸妖砍死。
而且由于地狱炎息的保护，阿托娜根本没有受到哪怕一丁点的伤害，反而借助翅膀的力量纵身一跃高高挑起，再次发动了蕴含强大秩序力量的【破乱斩】。
康葛斯一个躲闪不及，瞬间本闪烁着刺眼魔法光辉的利剑击中，整个黄金头骨横着飞出去撞在后边的石头墙壁上。
尽管这一击因为半巫妖强大物理与魔法抗性的关系，尤其是难以置信的恐怖硬度，最终没能将其击杀，但却也在天灵盖上留下一个非常明显的裂口。
就在魅魔萝莉准备乘胜追击的时候，一股诡异的魔法波动突然从黄金头骨身上涌现出来。
下一秒……
之前把桑乔全身上下防护法术扒了个干净的魔法又再一次从浮现出来，当场把阿托娜的防护和强化法术全部驱散。
魅魔萝莉瞬间察觉到了危险，马上瞬发四环神术【防死结界】，然后如同离弦之箭冲了出去。
当双方距离再一次拉进到贴脸的时候，康葛斯凭借自己超高的施法等级和超九环法术位，率先使用法术瞬发成功释放了九环的【禁锢术】。
结果当斩首巨剑距离黄金头骨仅剩下不到一公分距离的刹那，魅魔萝莉便在该法术的作用下陷入静止状态当场消失，被强行封印了起来。
这是一个非常典型的法师战术。
对于掌握九环法术的法师而言，如果遇到比较危险、可能对自己造成巨大威胁的敌人应该怎么办？ 答案是先用禁锢术把这个威胁关起来，然后先解决掉其他敌人，再慢慢考虑对策。
你可以等自己变强之后回来报仇，也可以在周围埋下大量的陷阱，让对方在被释放出来的一刹那承受巨量伤害瞬间暴毙。
如果说力墙、火墙、冰墙、虹彩类魔法的思路是切割战场，然后对敌人实行各个击破的策略，那么禁锢术、迷宫术之类的魔法就是关小黑屋直接物理隔绝。
只不过迷宫术是有期徒刑，只要能在庞大迷宫中找到出口能逃出来，但禁锢术却是无期徒刑。
要是没有外面的人救援，被关押者的时间就永远停滞在被禁锢的那一刻。
现在明眼人都能看得出，随着魅魔萝莉被禁锢，小队中剩下的三个成员将面临压倒性的不利。
更要命的是，化身成为杀戮者的阿伯戴尔，这会儿也刚好恢复重心跟平衡能力，再一次朝爱蒙跟桑乔冲了过去。
由于受到原始本能和杀戮之神血脉的影响，他此刻显然是想要杀了另外两个兄弟姐妹，然后夺取对方的神力与神性。
在这种关键时刻，维康尼亚果断扛起盾牌顶了上去。
但仅仅零点一秒之后，她整个人就被巨大的力量撞得连连后退，差点一个屁墩坐在地上。
没办法，黑暗精灵原本就不以力量见长，更何况她只是个牧师，哪怕有神术的加持也不可能比得过人类战士。
再加上阿伯戴尔变身杀戮者之后体型明显增大了不止一圈，双方压根不是一个量级的。
“该死！快想想办法！我要撑不了多久！”
维康尼亚没好气的大声叫骂，各种家乡的脏话更是脱口而出。
要知道黑暗精灵的骂人脏话在费伦大陆可是一绝，甚至上升到了艺术的层次。
但凡能听懂这种语言的智慧生物，都很难不被那些寓意深远的词汇气到七窍生烟。
不过好在桑乔和爱蒙都听不懂黑暗精灵语，所以看上去情绪还算稳定。
当然，就算听懂了他们这会儿也顾不上去理会维康尼亚的嘴臭了。
毕竟漂浮在空中的半巫妖又一次开始了咒语的吟唱。
相比起他所产生的巨大威胁，失去理智依靠本能行动的阿伯戴尔根本算不上什么。
于是乎，爱蒙和桑乔这两个法师开始联手与康葛斯进行了一场还算精彩的法术对决。
由于是二打一的关系，双方一度相互反制到谁也无法成功释放出哪怕一个法术。
直到后来开始使用瞬发法术、卷轴和魔法道具才最终打破了这一情况。
但由于施法等级较低、法术位较少的关系，当高环法术位一个接一个的被消耗光，只剩下四环以下的法术位后，两个巴尔之子终于开始撑不住了。
因为低于五环的法术，很难对拥有极高魔法抗性的半巫妖产生什么致命威胁，就算打到了也跟挠痒痒一样。
而且对方疑似佩戴了可以持续不断恢复生命力的装备，因此很多细微的伤害哪怕不去管也能恢复如初。
至于维康尼亚，这会儿还在拼命阻挡阿伯戴尔疯狗般的攻击，哪里抽得出时间来释放高阶神术。
但凡有一点分神，身上的坚固的魔法护甲就会被杀戮者撕开一个鲜血淋漓的伤口。
不用问也知道，战斗打到这个份上基本已经可以算是山穷水尽了。
此时此刻桑乔才明白自己把阿伯戴尔和明斯克拉进队伍究竟犯了怎样的错误。
在与传奇施法者的战斗中，任何一点微小瑕疵最终都会变成足以致命的缺陷。
如果没有变身成为杀戮者的阿伯戴尔捣乱，那么这场战斗他的赢面虽说也不可能是百分之百，但也绝不会拉胯到现如今的程度。
就在康葛斯肆无忌惮的笑声回荡在整个地窖内的时候，一道传送门突然凭空开启，紧跟着左思带着两个复古打扮的巫妖从另外一边钻了过来。
瞬间！
不管是爱蒙还是桑乔，亦或是正在跟阿伯戴尔殊死搏斗的维康尼亚，都露出了狂喜的神色。
至于康葛斯，在看到两个巫妖的刹那，立刻便停止了一切动作。
虽然只剩下一个黄金头骨的他根本做不出任何表情，但还是可以通过一些动作察觉到这家伙明显十分的紧张。
理由非常简单！ 左思身边这两个复古打扮的巫妖，就是当初参与封印并负责保管黄金骨架的传奇法师。
他们俩隶属于一个非常古老，早已消失在历史长河中的秘密施法者组织——尼斯里尔，双方之间的仇恨早已到了根本无法化解的程度。
后来命匣在落到左思手上之后连反抗的机会都没有，复活之后直接被制作成了召唤生物卡牌。
现如今，两名实力强大的传奇巫妖正瞪着眼眶内的两点幽光死死盯着昔日的仇敌，而康葛斯又在战斗中消耗了大量的法术位，自然会感到紧张和不安。
而且后者还不可避免产生了很多关于阴谋诡计的联想。
诸如这支冒险小队究竟是从何处打听到了自己的秘密，又是如何得到黄金骨架，然后在里边设下了致命的陷阱。
整件事情越想越让人觉得思细级恐。
但是与惴惴不安的康葛斯相比，左思看起来则十分的放松，先是抬起手打了个响指，直接压制住了阿伯戴尔内心之中的杀戮冲动，使其从杀戮者的样子重新变回人类。
紧跟着使用旅法师的卡牌，通过火巨灵赋予的许愿术把死掉的明斯克给复活。
最后又释放自由术把遭到禁锢的魅魔萝莉放了出来。
等做完这一切，他才用略带玩味的语气问自己的好徒弟：“我想你应该知道自己错在了什么地方，对吗？”
桑乔垂头丧气的回应道：“是的，导师。
我在计算的时候犯了一个致命错误，那就是不应该存任何侥幸心理。
尤其是不能把那些不确定的因素尽量往好的方向去想，而是要往最坏的方向去想。”
“我……我为自己失控攻击队友的行为道歉。”
恢复理智的阿伯戴尔这会儿也反应过来自己刚才都干了些什么，满脸都是尴尬与羞愧之色。
这是他第一次认识到变身成为杀戮者不仅仅能够给敌人带去死亡，同样也会给同伴带来难以想象的巨大威胁。
尤其是维康尼亚身上那件已经被利爪撕烂的魔法锁子甲，还有在神术治疗下愈合的伤口，简直就像一个又一个响亮的巴掌打在这位巴尔之子的脸上。
唯有脑子只剩下一根弦的明斯克根本没意识到自己死过了一次，正在四下里找他的好朋友仓鼠布布。
当那只黄皮耗子从楼上跑下来爬到肩膀上的时候，这位光头壮汉乐得像个两百斤的孩子一样开心。
事实证明，一个人只要愿意放弃智商变得足够傻，那么他就能很容易获得满足并过得快乐无比。
相比之下，魅魔萝莉还在为自己被半巫妖算计遭到禁锢而耿耿于怀。
这明显是跟传奇施法者战斗经验不足导致的结果。
She thought the opponent would release extremely destructive necromancy or transmutation spells, so she cast an anti-death barrier in an attempt to ward off a fatal attack.
However, Kanggus realized that the succubus loli was not a small character that could be easily killed instantly, so he decisively gave up killing her and chose to control her.
In the end, the succubus Loli made a mistake in prediction and was directly locked up in a small dark room.
As for Imoen, he can only play a supporting role in the team now, and his inner potential as the Son of Bhaal has not yet been fully developed.
As a wizard, all you can trust and rely on is yourself, and the magical knowledge and power you possess.
You can accept help, make various preparations, set countless traps for your enemies, or trick them into making wrong judgments.
But you must never pin your hopes of winning or losing on others.
Otherwise, even if you succeed once or twice by chance, sooner or later you will pay the price for it, a very painful price.
Because what you are facing on your life path are not ordinary people, but a group of extremely vicious sons of gods, quasi-gods, and even demigods who will do anything to achieve their goals."
"Understood, mentor. I swear to remember this lesson and never make the same mistake as today again."
Sancho bent down, bowed deeply and gave his assurance solemnly.
At this point, he finally understood why Zuo Si would let him face an enemy of the level of the half-lich Kongos.
Because if he didn't personally experience the other party's strength, he would never be able to have the kind of insights and deep understanding he has now.
This is like many life experiences and truths condensed into one or two sentences or even one word.
Everyone can talk about it, but only a few can actually apply it in their lives.
The cruelest thing in the world is that there are some things you will never understand if you have not experienced them, even if those truths are laid out for everyone to see.
The painful understanding gained after every failure is a sign of growth from immaturity to maturity.
The reason why children from rich and powerful families are more likely to succeed than children from poor families is that they have more costs for trial and error.
As long as you can learn lessons and gain experience from each failure, then the cost you invested previously will one day be earned back tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold.
As for children from poor families, if they fail once, they may never recover.
If the former is likened to an investment, then the latter is simply a gamble where you risk everything.
Obviously, Sancho is now the child from a rich and powerful family.
From the moment he became Zuo Si's apprentice, he gained the resources and strong backing that all mages in the world dreamed of.
Although in the eyes of others, legendary half-liches like Kongos are completely invincible and terrifying existences.
But for Sancho it was just a test, a test to re-recognize his own shortcomings, and it didn't matter even if he failed.
"very good!
Seeing that his good disciple had grown, Zuo Si immediately nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and cast his gaze towards Kongos who was being stared at by two liches.
Kongos was also looking at him warily.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, the half-lich broke the silence first and asked tentatively: "Are you the mastermind behind all this? Who are you?"
“My name is Soth, the ruler of this city and all the surrounding lands, the emperor of the West Coast Empire.
Thank you so much for teaching my disciple the most important lesson in life.
Otherwise I would have a headache about how to teach this guy an unforgettable lesson when he embarks on the most important journey of his life.
In return, I will generously allow you to become my new servant."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si directly drew out the reinforced Demon Moon Blade from his waist.
moment!
All the spellcasters present felt that the magic web in the surrounding environment was greatly strengthened, and the air was filled with inexhaustible energy.
But just one second later, they found that their connection with the magic network was completely severed and they could no longer extract any energy from it.
There is no doubt that Zuo Si used this powerful artifact to directly cut off the Internet for everyone except himself.
Not to mention that Kanggus was dumbfounded, he immediately lost his supernatural flying ability and fell to the ground with a thud.
Even Imoen, Sancho, the succubus Loli and the other two liches opened their mouths in disbelief.
Because in the magic education they received, there was only one person who was capable of doing this, and that was the incarnation of the magic network, the most powerful magic goddess on the planet Toril, second only to Io, the god above gods.
"You...you are controlling the magic network?!"
After a long silence, Kongos finally couldn't help but question with his slightly trembling voice.
As a legendary wizard and half-lich, he was basically a useless thing after losing his connection with the magic network. He couldn't even use his ability to capture souls and absorb them into gems for digestion.
"It's just a tiny part of the surrounding area. There's no need to be so surprised. Moreover, I am a genuine and authentic voter. Isn't it normal for the new magic goddess to grant me some special privileges?"
As he spoke, silver flames instantly gushed out from Zuo Si's palm, directly wrapping up the entire sword and emitting a terrifying aura.
Without a doubt, there is nothing more painful than for an arcane spellcaster to discover that his opponent is the Chosen One of the Goddess of Magic.
Because Silver Fire is the power of the Goddess of Magic.
Just trying to break the defense it formed was enough to give people a headache, not to mention the resistance and magic immunity after obtaining the Silver Fire.
Most importantly, you have no idea how the magical goddess behind it will react after you go to so much trouble to kill a chosen one.
Is it to revive it quietly and come back to cause trouble for me?
Or would he permanently cut off his connection with the magic network in a rage? At this moment, Kongus began to regret why he didn't teleport away immediately after regaining his freedom, but wasted his time with these kids with backers.
The result is now that I can’t even run away after being cut off from the magic network, or I have even lost the ability to move.
After all, the half-lich's ability to fly does not rely on wings, but on the ubiquitous magical energy.
After being forcibly disconnected from the Internet, it can no longer absorb magical energy and naturally loses the ability to fly.
The only thing he hadn't lost yet was the power to cast legendary magic.
Since legendary magic directly bypasses the magic net and draws the wildest raw magical energy from the universe for processing, it is not bound by the magic net on the planet Toril.
But the problem is, if you can't move at all and can't cast any protective spells, casting a legendary spell in front of an enemy holding a divine weapon is no different from committing suicide? The time spent chanting the spell alone is enough to kill you several times.
After much deliberation, Konggus finally chose to give in.
The two red lights in his eyes flashed wildly for a few times, and then he responded with a slightly unwilling tone: "I can be your servant, but there must be a period of time, whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years."
"Hahahaha! What gave you the illusion that I was really discussing this with you? Look at what this is?"
Zuo Si laughed and took out a magic belt inlaid with more than a dozen gems.
There is no doubt that this thing is the life box hidden by Kanggus.
The reason why the Nisril wizards led by two liches did not kill him after defeating him but chose to seal him up was that they did not find his life box.
Failure to find the life box means that the demilich cannot be truly destroyed. Once killed, it will be resurrected in a short time.
They had to resort to this desperate measure and transformed the two highest-ranking members of the organization into liches to guard the golden skeleton for generations to ensure that it would never see the light of day again.
"That's impossible! I hid it in..."
Seeing that his life box fell into someone else's hands, Kongos' tone revealed panic for the first time.
"It was hidden in a farmer's house, and a lot of spells were cast to block the detection of divination magic, right?"
Zuo Si said the second half of the sentence meaningfully for the other party.
As these words came out of his mouth, Kong Ge suddenly became like a deflated ball. The red light in his eyes became extremely weak. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why can you find it?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied, “Because someone told me a lot of information about you.
Through some documents in Candlekeep, I found the scope of your activities and the secret base hidden in the Snow Flake Mountains.
In that base, I read your experimental notes and other related records and found two interesting clues.
Finally, using my authority as the emperor of the empire, I ordered the army to search and check every household in the designated area, and finally got your life box without much effort.
Guess how much I paid to buy it, and your life, from the descendants of that farmer? "
"How many?"
The half-lich asked back subconsciously.
“Two thousand five hundred gold coins.
He sold the most important thing of the great half-lich Kongos, who had caused the terrible tragedy, for only 2,500 gold coins.
Isn't it full of irony? After all, you promised that if they took good care of it, you would give them endless wealth.
But unfortunately, you were imprisoned for so long that the couple had been dead for who knows how many years.
Their descendants have forgotten what the belt hidden in the wall was."
Zuo Si did not beat around the bush or keep people on suspense, but gave the answer directly.
No matter what he does, he should always be well prepared. This is a good habit he has developed over the years.
Long before assigning the task to Sancho, Zuo Si had already begun searching for information about the half-lich and successfully obtained the other party's hidden life box.
Therefore, the ending of this game was doomed from the very beginning, and there would definitely not be even the slightest ripple.
"So... all of this is a test you arranged for that brat? And I'm just a tool in this test?"
Kongos glared at Sancho fiercely.
Because this was definitely a naked and undisguised insult to him.
As a man who had frightened countless people and committed countless massacres, he had never suffered such an injustice. He was simply being manipulated like a puppet.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right.
Don't feel wronged, because Sancho is not an ordinary boy.
His future is most likely to inherit the Blood Throne and become the new God of Murder.
Oh, I almost forgot. You have been sealed for so many years. You don’t know what happened in the continent of Faerun recently, right?
In fact, in the turbulent years not long ago, Io, the god above all gods, appeared and cast the other gods down to the mortal world and walked as saints.
During this time, many gods fell, including Baal, the god of murder.
But he foresaw his own death, so he left behind countless descendants in the mortal world.
Now countless sons of Bhaal are killing each other for the rich legacy left by their father.
Sancho is the most special of the many sons of Bal.
Having said so much, let me see the quality of the ring you spent so much effort to make. "
After saying that, Zuo Si walked straight to the half-lich and took out a ring emitting a strong evil aura from inside its golden skull near its chin.
The main body of the ring is made entirely of broken bones stained with blood, and the gaps between the bones on the surface of the ring can be clearly seen.
Moreover, after so many years, the blood stained on the bones is still bright, unlike normal blood which will turn black and harden over time.
In addition, a blood-red gem is inlaid on the front of the ring, which is cut into nine faces through a unique cutting technique. Each face exudes a powerful magical power bestowed by death and sacrifice.
Anyone who wears this ring will be immune to disease and poison, and will form a protective force field around the body.
Not only can it gain higher spell immunity and increase spell resistance, but it can also deflect physical attacks and gain regenerative abilities and life recovery speed similar to the Ring of Regeneration.
Most importantly, it can cast greater invisibility once and copy spells three times a day, and increase the effectiveness of all necromancy magic by 50%.
Of course, since it is a custom-made equipment, the full power of the ring will only be exerted when Kanggus himself wears it.
If it is replaced by an outsider, only the first half of the fixed abilities will take effect, and they will be discounted.
Feeling the wailing of countless dead souls inside this evil ring, Zuo Si asked calmly: "How many people did you kill when you made it?"
"There are so many that I can't remember exactly. But conservatively speaking, it takes at least three thousand people to cut each gemstone."
Kongos gave a rough figure very straightforwardly.
As a member of a chaotic evil camp comparable to the demons of the abyss, he would not have any psychological burden at all about massacres.
Or, in other words, in his opinion, those civilians whose lives are meaningless should feel honored to be able to devote themselves to his great work.
"You killed tens of thousands of people and destroyed their souls, and this is what you created?"
There was undisguised contempt and disdain in Zuo Si's tone.
That's almost 30,000 mortal souls! With the energy obtained by systematically squeezing it in Baator Hell, with his current level of creation, he could create two genuine artifacts, let alone a secondary artifact.
No wonder the wizard Nisriel couldn't stand it anymore and defeated it and sealed it up.
It would be strange if this kind of extreme waste and reckless killing were not dealt with.
"Why, are you dissatisfied with the huge improvement brought by my Ring of Gus?" the half-lich asked in confusion.
To him, this ring is the greatest masterpiece of his life, and any arcane spellcaster should be surprised after obtaining it.
"Forget it. There's nothing to talk about with a guy like you. It seems that I have to modify your mind and memory a little before turning you into a servant."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si directly activated the power of sparks to forcibly seal the half-lich with only the golden skull left.
The latter seemed to have sensed something and immediately began to struggle frantically and tried to release legendary spells to cause large-scale damage.
If it were in the past, it would obviously be unrealistic to imprison such a powerful undead spellcaster who kept resisting.
But Zuo Si is no longer the same person as before.
Using the energy provided by the endless extraction of souls from the Hell of Baator, although his spark level may not be as good as that of the old dragon Nicol Bolas who has devoured countless time and space mana, it is definitely not comparable to those new generation of planeswalkers.
Without any skills, he simply relied on the suppression of power level to fuse Kongos and the Life Box into a summoned creature card.
Not only that, Zuo Si also made a series of upgrades to this card.
For example, by adding the legendary magic [Demilich's Body], it can disguise itself as a human like Shane VII.
This was followed by a large number of deletions and modifications to his memories and personality, ensuring that Kangas was freed from his previous chaotic evil camp and transformed into a neutral evil camp that tended towards lawfulness.
You should know that the number of spellcasters with a casting level of LV30 or above in the continent of Faerun can be counted on one hand.
Although a high spellcasting level does not necessarily mean strong combat power, it is enough to be used as a research talent or to help out at critical moments.
If Kanggus performs well enough, Zuo Si might upgrade him to a follower in the future.
With the demilich captured, this trial specially prepared for the Sons of Bhaal was finally over.
Zuo Si, who had a tendency to obsessive-compulsive disorder, gave a direct order to the city hall when he left, asking them to raze the unsightly little house standing at the dock in the old city overnight.
If for no other reason than to ensure symmetry between the buildings on both sides of the road.
If there wasn't a powerful half-lich hiding in this dilapidated house, with his personality, he would have torn it down long ago and there would be no need to keep it until now.
(End of this chapter)
