Chapter 307 Death Trio
Time flies, immersed in the ocean of knowledge, time slips away quietly in daily exercise and training, and time gradually comes to November. This month, there will be a duel between Edes Academy and Lelisa Academy. The two sides are the 'Death Rose Club' of Edes Academy and the 'Tianfei Choir' of Lelisa Academy.
Although the number of members of the 'Death Rose Club' has always been small, this club can be said to be the most famous club of Edes Academy in the outside world, just because it is mysterious and rare enough. Among the top six academies in the Four-Leaf Crystal, Edes Academy is a rare school that specializes in the Withering Sequence, and the 'Death Rose Club' is also the most desirable club for young people in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region who study the Withering Sequence.
Every year, there are also students from the outside world who buy black robes that imitate the uniforms of the club, as well as skull pendants, bone blade daggers, and necromancy scythes.
"How are the preparations this year?" Tilan asked the familiar man in black robe beside her, the president of the 'Death Rose Society', Tlinger.
"The preparations are very thorough."
He took off the hood on his head, revealing his short dark gray hair. If you look closely at his appearance, you will find that he is somewhat similar to the former president, Shelinqi, and the two are indeed related.
"President Tilan, come with me." The president of the Death Rose Society took Tilan to the club activity room. Now there were eleven members sitting at the dark marble round table. The empty one was Tlinger's seat. They were like the moments arranged on a clock, with a mysterious atmosphere.
When Tilan walked into the room, the group of people first stood up, then bowed and saluted, but no sound was made during the whole process.
"People who often come into contact with death should remain silent." - A motto passed down from ancient necromancers.
After the simple and special welcome ceremony, Tlinger picked up the small black jade staff in his hand and tapped the black marble round table. Then the round table slowly sank, revealing the passage below.
A group of black-clad wizards walked in. The one in the front was holding a dim yellow lamp. The black iron lantern occasionally collided with the wall, making a slight sound that was particularly clear underground.
After walking down for hundreds of meters, the group stopped in front of an ancient black iron gate. Then six members pressed their hands on the gate, and then the gate gradually lit up with light purple lines.
Gradually, these glowing lines spread to the entire gate, outlining an ancient picture. The picture showed a large army of undead holding high purple wisteria crescent flags, including skeletons holding swords, heavily stitched corpses, dark cavalry riding bone horses, and death banshees flying in the sky, and the undead dragon poking its head out of the black fog.
The door slowly opened, revealing the cold air inside and the smell of disinfectant.
Walking in, you can see skeleton models and accompanying text descriptions, many of which are ancient treasures collected by previous generations, such as notes of ancient necromancers from thousands of years ago, small bone daggers, and torn corpse cloths.
Tringer led the way while explaining to Tilan.
"Although the Withering Sequence rarely involves the secret arts and skills of corpses, considering that the Withering Sequence is derived from the Undead Sequence, the principles of many spells cannot be learned and understood without contact with corpses, so some will be prepared here, of course, this is all reasonable and legal."
Feeling the smell of disinfectant coming from the tip of her nose, Tilan shook her head. She was not surprised, knowing that the other party was afraid of misunderstanding.
"I know that many of the extraordinary people in the Withering Sequence are doctors, especially those in the field of forensic medicine, who are basically all from the Withering Sequence."
When it comes to medicine, the three major sequences of extraordinary people who specialize in this field have their own different preferences and opinions. The Light Feather Sequence believes that it is only necessary to eliminate the lesions and viruses, and then stimulate the body's self-recovery ability to recover. The Natural Sequence believes that the human body is a complex and chaotic system that needs to maintain a certain balance and harmony in order to be healthy, while the Undead Sequence believes that the human body is like a sophisticated instrument and tool, and the function of each component must be clearly understood so that problems can be easily handled.
The extraordinary people in the three major sequences also tend to be in different medical fields. The Light Feather Sequence can easily deal with viral and bacterial infections. The Natural Sequence is very good at chronic diseases and other physical discomforts and weaknesses, and the Withering Sequence is very good at trauma and internal organ surgery.
The vast amount of anatomical experience and various human body knowledge accumulated by the Undead Order in the early years, under the master-disciple inheritance system, greatly benefited the Withering Order. Although the Withering Order no longer needs to deal with the corpse army, the relevant things are still preserved and applied to medicine.
When they arrived at the empty hall deep underground, the group stopped. Tringer stopped and asked Tilan to sit in the middle seat before talking about the "killer move" they prepared.
"Does President Tilan know much about the 'Tianfei Choir' of Leilisha Academy?" First, he talked about the opponent.
"Because the Angel Sequence, which is now the Light Feather Sequence, has always been very restraining to us, so our club will also learn relevant knowledge in a targeted way."
"Among the top six academies in the Four-Leaf Crystal, the Leisha Academy is a church academy specializing in the Light Feather Sequence, and the 'Tianfei Choir' is the most representative and almost the strongest club among them."
Dressed in black nun uniforms with white edges, these pious girls closed their eyes and prayed. They were pure in body and mind, allowing their spirits to resonate with the angel holy spirit sleeping in the Sea of Aigeka to obtain a response. If the natural synchronization rate is extremely high, they can even allow angels to possess them or descend.
This kind of method can allow extraordinary people to obtain strong blessings even at Sequence 4-5, and occasionally they can defeat opponents who are one level higher than themselves. However, as the level increases, the blessing of this kind of prayer is not so significant.
After listening to Tlinger's explanation, Tilan nodded slightly, and then Tlinger stopped talking nonsense, and asked the members beside him to come forward and demonstrate to Tilan.
The two black-robed wizards stood 50 meters away from each other, and then the battle began.
"First is our club's specialty spell, 'Ghost Night Terror'."
A wizard raised his hand slightly, and a twisting ghost emerged from his palm. In an instant, it drew a purple track in the air, and its rapidly expanding body, like a giant python, whistled and crashed into the opponent, submerging and piercing it.
"If it were an ordinary person, this attack would tear the opponent's consciousness and soul apart. This is the most adept combat method of the Withering Sequence."
Attacks from the soul and mind cannot be defended and isolated by ordinary armor. Even for extraordinary people, facing the same level of Withering Sequence, it is still extremely dangerous.
After the explanation, the wizard who was submerged by the deep purple python in the venue glowed with white light, and then slowly descended from the air.
"This kind of spell that directly attacks the soul is often not so effective if it encounters peers and the Light Feather Sequence, so we have learned other means to make up for it."
The descending wizard also began to fight back. He whispered quickly, then waved his hand in front of him. The smoke in the dark night instantly spread, and then spread rapidly, covering the entire venue.
Such an environment is particularly unfavorable for melee supernaturals. Tilan closed his eyes to experience it. His previous keen perception was blocked by the smoke and he could not detect the scene in the distance.
However, she changed her mind, and then two figures moving in the smoke appeared clearly in her mind. They had already started fighting.
Although ordinary people would be blocked by this, because these smokes were actually tiny crystals, she could know the situation inside more clearly. This also helped her open up her mind. Maybe she could use this trick in the future.
"What's the name?" The girl asked the black wizard beside her curiously.
"'Fog Night', taken from an ancient urban legend."
Is it the Fog Night Killer? Tilan thought, and then she saw a flash of light in the venue, and then a fierce battle spread, causing the smoke to gradually disperse.
A wizard held a wooden staff, but a wide purple-rayed sickle extended from one side of the wooden staff, which was constantly waving and cutting in the air, forcing the opponent to retreat continuously.
The purple-rayed sickle is not a physical entity and cannot be blocked with weapons. Even if the wooden staff is held, the downward sickle will still cut into the body, pierce the consciousness, cause severe pain and mental fainting.
Wearing a pitch-black robe and such a sickle, he is indeed inexplicably handsome.
However, in Tilan's opinion, these members of the 'Death Rose Society' should practice running. Their speed and fighting skills are far inferior to those swordsmen or assassins of the Slashing Blade Sequence, and they will definitely not be able to beat them in close combat.
But on second thought, if I were a black wizard in the society, I probably wouldn't choose to fight in close combat with the people of the Slashing Blade Sequence. I would definitely use various ghosts and mental shock spells to directly attack the opponent's weak points, and then use night smoke to protect myself to prevent being beheaded by surprise.
After all, the soul-eating sickle of the Withering Sequence is mostly used for execution, or there is really no good way to deal with the Light Feather Sequence, so I can only switch to close combat and physical attacks to win.
Facing the Light Feather Sequence, I am still too restrained, Tilan thought.
Although the Light Feather Sequence has no ability to interfere with the soul, most people who practice this sequence will build a pure wall of the mind to prevent mental confusion and consciousness collapse, because the purpose of creating the Angel Sequence is to imitate the existence of the four original forms to resist the impact of chaotic phantoms, and the Light Feather Sequence is an improved version of the Angel Sequence, and the two are very similar.
This makes most of the methods of the Withering Sequence ineffective, and coupled with the purification and removal abilities of the Light Feather Sequence, it can also make all kinds of auxiliary spells of the Undead Sequence ineffective.
If it were ancient times, the undead could still rely on various resurrected corpse armies to attack, but in the interstellar era, the Withering Sequence has given up the means of manipulating corpses, so it also shows a decline in the level of melee physical attacks. Unless it is a professional agency that has been specially trained, it is a big disadvantage when facing the Light Feather Sequence of the same level.
"There is no need to waste too much energy on one or two weaknesses." After watching their demonstration, Tilan shook her head and interrupted their subsequent demonstration.
There were more than one or two competitions at Edes Academy, and losing one game was no big deal. Tilan didn't want these excellent people to waste most of their energy on dealing with disadvantageous games, but hoped that they would use more energy to play to their strengths.
Reality is not an exam, every subject is tested, and people only need one special strength to make a living. It is not a wise choice to waste a lot of energy on weaknesses. If you can make your strengths longer, then try your best to play to your strengths. When it is really difficult to improve your strengths, then consider filling in the gaps.
Of course, if it were other student council presidents, they would definitely not say this. After all, they all hope that no matter which competition, their academy will win.
It's just that Tilan looks at it in the long run. In her opinion, the four years of the academy passed by in a flash, and it was not worth it for students who should have pursued self-development to give up pursuing the parts they are good at and like, and practice their weaknesses and weaknesses specifically for victory.
"The competition is just a competition. You just need to focus on your original characteristics and advantages. Instead of giving up your strengths and learning the fighting style of the Blade Sequence, you should focus on the advantages of the Withering Sequence. If you can't break it, you can also show the strength of what you have learned and let the audience in front of the screen admire you." "
In this way, if there are other children who want to learn the Withering Sequence, they won't feel inferior and unable to convince adults." At this point, Tilan remembered the situation she faced when she chose the Withering Sequence. The teacher's dissuasion, the classmates' secret jokes, and only her mother still supported her and didn't blame her for her impulsiveness and rebellion.
The wizards present looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, a vague emotion was spreading. They didn't understand why this black-haired girl was so popular among students before, but now they feel this understanding and tolerance in person, and they can't help but feel a little moved. It would be
better if there were more people like this in reality, they thought, so they no longer deliberately showed the skills used to fight the Light Feather Sequence, but played to their strengths and practiced again.
The three wizards from the 'Death Rose Society' nodded slightly to Tilan, and then walked into the venue. As soon as they entered, a spreading pattern of light appeared under their feet.
Soon, a huge ritual array appeared, and strands of magic power rose. Then, accompanied by a sharp cry, a dark ghost griffin rose in the magic array, carrying three wizards to soar in the dome. If the space here was not low, it might be able to fly hundreds of meters in an instant.
With the sound of flapping wings, the three wizards each chanted a self-suggestion spell, and then one by one, black jade magic balls floated, like purple and nearly pitch-black whirlpools rotating.
Soon after, huge eyeballs made of transparent flames emerged from these deep purple and pitch-black whirlpools. The pupils in them turned and aimed at the three people in the enemy camp. Suddenly, the pupils shrank and stared, causing the three people's bodies to freeze, and then several shining rays of light gathered and penetrated the bodies of the three people.
Watching the bodies of the three people dissipate into black smoke, the wizards riding on the backs of the black griffins knew that they were deceived by the other party, because the Withering Sequence is a sequence that excels at soul consciousness, and it is common to use magic to simulate one's own consciousness and soul, and create clones to confuse the enemy.
Sure enough, when the three people cast spells again to search the entire venue, the three people on the opposite side appeared in different corners of the wall. They seemed to have prepared for these positions for a long time. When the three people appeared, the spells they chanted gradually ended.
"Howling wind, wailing abyss, land of falling, please play the sad song of death at this moment~"
As the three shouted, an inexplicable breeze blew in the dark underground battlefield, but after looking at each other, they found that this breeze did not come from reality, but blew in the space where the conscious soul was. When this breeze blew underground, the body began to feel a kind of numbness, and the perception slowly lost, and then gradually could not control the body's activities, and finally the consciousness gradually blurred, a deep and incomparable fatigue and sleepiness began to permeate, and if you fall asleep at this moment, you are afraid that you will enter a restful sleep and never wake up again.
The above is the effect of the "Death Trio·Silent Wind". Generally, the game will not proceed to the last step, making the opponent unable to fight and fainting on the ground. The battle will be ended by the referee, otherwise continuing may cause difficult to heal soul injuries.
The famous move of the Withering Sequence. At Sequence 5, it requires multiple extraordinary people to perform it together. The next one is the Withering Sequence 6, the "Death Trio·Wail of Sorrow", and the "Death Trio·Dance of Death" can only be performed at Sequence 7. It is said that an emperor of the Verdant Empire was assassinated by performing the "Dance of Death" on the stage.
