Chapter 430: The Church Questions
The sixth step of the Road of Shadows is the "Mad Lich". Its image in the spiritual world is a humanoid life form with black mist erupting all over its body, like a skeleton.
The five powerful spells it brings are "Curse of Madness", "Call of the Dead", "Cloud of Death", "Soul Drain" and "Great Collapse"!
Darren felt deeply the new power he possessed and was certain that he was much stronger than before.
"Five completely different powerful spells, huh..."
Now, he only needs to wave his hand to launch a "Crazy Curse" on many targets within his sight. Then, those who are not strong enough will fall into madness under the curse and may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe! They may even forget who they are!
"This is a spell that has nothing to do with the opponent's strength. It only tests the 'strength of will'. Even if a being stronger than me does not have enough willpower, he will be affected."
"In other words, ordinary people with strong willpower may also be immune to its effects!"
The name of the second lich spell is "Call of the Dead". Darren can now spend more than ten seconds chanting the spell, calling directly to the corpses within his sight, and then wake them up to become his slaves and command them at will.
"Call of the Dead" is a very powerful spell, but it also has great limitations.
That is, the dead who are calling for resurrection do not have intelligence, and their strength will be far less than when they were alive. Moreover, the stronger the dead who are called for resurrection by the extraordinary person, the more spiritual power will be consumed.
The third spell is "Cloud of Death". This spell consumes a lot of spiritual power. Even Darren today can only cast it twice.
However, it can create a large, terrifying black cloud that cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and not even Darren himself is immune to the threat it poses.
The moving black cloud will absorb all the life force it touches. Every time it absorbs a bit of life force, it will become a little smaller and its movement speed will increase, until it is finally completely consumed.
The biggest advantage is that the effective range of "Death Cloud" is very large, even covering an area of hundreds of meters. The disadvantage is that its speed is not very fast in the early stage and can be easily avoided by high-speed enemies.
It can even be said that even a monarch-level extraordinary person can easily dodge it. Darren thinks it would be most effective to use it in conjunction with certain control effects.
The fourth spell, "Soul Absorption", is a very strange ritual spell.
It takes more than ten minutes of ritual arrangement, and then the body of the deceased is placed inside. By doing so, Darren can completely absorb the soul of the other party and restore his own life force, mental force and spiritual force.
However, if the corpse placed is a powerful transcendent at the monarch level, he can basically fully restore the loss in one go. The biggest drawback of "Soul Absorption" is that the ritual takes a long time to set up and cannot be prepared immediately in battle.
The name of the last spell he acquired was "The Great Collapse"!
It is the deadly spell at the bottom of the "Crazy Lich" sequence. The caster needs to recite the spell briefly, then point his finger at the target, and then consume all his spiritual power to instantly shoot out an extremely dark energy ray. Any life hit by the energy ray will die instantly!
The scary thing about "Big Collapse" is that its destructive power is extremely strong. It can even be said that if "Big Collapse" is released directly when it is in full state, the damage caused will be excessive!
Moreover, the speed of that dark ray was extremely fast, and few ordinary people could avoid it.
However, the deadly spell "Big Collapse" also has two serious drawbacks. The first drawback is obvious, that is, the caster will exhaust all spiritual power. Although he will not become vulnerable to attack, his combat effectiveness will also decline significantly.
The second flaw is that "Big Collapse" is only effective against life force, and any protective shield, shield or even mirror can block or even reflect it!
"The five lich spells each have their own effects, um..."
Darren fell into deep thought, knowing very clearly that when facing different types of enemies and various battle situations, the lich spells he would need to choose to use would also be completely different.
"Very interesting! The battle requires a test of intelligence..."
Moreover, he knew one thing very clearly, that those five spells were not the key power of the "Mad Lich".
The most important key to the sixth step is the extraordinary power called "Soul Box"!
"The Box of Soul" is the most special supernatural power Darren obtained after being promoted to the sixth level.
Now he can separate part of his soul and hide it in a box. The drawback is that from now on this part of his soul will become an entity in the material world that can be attacked.
As for the advantage, if the part of the soul in the "Soul Box" is not destroyed, Darren himself will never die even if his physical body is destroyed. He will just become weaker and weaker after being defeated and his body is destroyed.
Theoretically, he would eventually become so weak after being defeated again and again that he would be completely unable to move.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”
Darren couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said: "This kind of power is too much, it seems that the sixth step 'Crazy Lich' is the key step of the Shadow Road!"
The Fisher family had long guessed that the development period of each extraordinary path might be completely different.
And every path has some extremely critical "core strength".
For example, for the Path of Tranquility, the "lethal" ability that can be obtained in the early stages is undoubtedly the absolute core!
For those extraordinary people whose strength is not much beyond his own, the ability to suppress the recovery effect "lethal" allows Chris to easily complete the killing move.
The great advantage of the powerful monarch, "the transformation of spiritual power into life force", has simply lost its meaning.
The sixth level, “Crazy Lich”, is undoubtedly the critical period of the Shadow Road!
In the magnificent underground hall of Fisher Manor, everyone stared at Darren.
Christine, Archer, Helen and others were very happy. His progress meant that the power of the Fisher family and the Dawn Cult would be greatly enhanced again!
Darren stood there in deep thought, constantly pondering the abilities he possessed.
"In a sense, my 'Soul Box' is very effective against Chris's 'Death'... Even if I don't need the recovery ability, I can still remain immortal."
"But if you just become immortal, you might get imprisoned, so you are not omnipotent. You still have to be careful in battle."
At this moment, a blood recipient from the Dawn Order suddenly came to the Glorious Hall and nervously reported important matters.
"His Excellency High Priest Archil! Patriarch Christine! The people from the Church of Redemption are here. And not just the Church of Redemption, but also the people from the Church of the Sun and the Church of Recasting. The bishops of the three churches are here together!"
Everyone looked over instantly!
"The bishops of the three churches should all send people to deliver letters of notification at the same time, and then directly enter the Syat barrier. They will arrive in Nasir City soon."
Um?
People from the Sun Church actually came along?
Darren was slightly stunned. He had actually anticipated the situation of the Church of Redemption. Those people would never let go of the previous incident. After all, it was a sudden death of a senior figure of their own. If they ignored it, they would be doomed.
The Recast Church also has a good impression of Kania and Rhea, and has even grown extremely powerful in the Seven Stars Empire, seemingly on the verge of becoming the national church of the Seven Stars Empire. Therefore, it is expected that they will eventually stand on that side.
He just didn't expect that the Sun Church, which was almost as powerful as the Redemption Church, would also come along.
The main sphere of influence of the Church of the Sun is in the Lorne Empire and the Theocracy of Tyrael. Their god, "The Prideful Sun," is hanging in the sky, so many believers of the Church of the Sun simply do not believe that the gods have left.
"It looks like we are in big trouble. Are we going to be held accountable by the three major churches together?"
Darren could still smile, but everyone else in the underground hall had a very solemn look on their faces. The Church of Orthodoxy was a top-level force with legends of apocalypse and many powerful monarchs. Even the current Fisher family could not compare to it.
If they really united completely and hoped to completely wipe out the Fisher family, even with the help of the Loen Empire, it would be a desperate situation that would be almost impossible to resist!
Christine in the wheelchair sighed and said calmly: "We can only meet them first to see if the Orthodox Churches are really united."
