Chapter 28 How much will you pay?
Naomi didn't know that her tribe had already known about her cooperation with the undead. She was now following Amber closely, fearing that she would be left behind.
Before today, Naomi's life was like a blank sheet of paper. Although she had heard that this world was dangerous, she had never seen it. It was not until the appearance of the witch that she understood the true face of this world. Meeting Amber was the second turning point in her life.
She had only heard of the legendary rank.
It is rumored that a druid who has reached the legendary level can turn an entire city into a forest in a short period of time, and the natural magic they cast is like a natural disaster.
But I have only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes.
And now, Amber Xiu personally told her what a legend is.
Under Amber's control, dozens of tiny alien skeletons moved forward like a well-coordinated army, no matter if they encountered hidden slimes, Kou Tao fishmen, mutant crocodiles, etc.
No matter what kind of monster it is, it will be torn into pieces by these skeletons in a very short time.
Then the souls will become the materials for Amber's spellcasting, providing the army with powerful buffs, such as group bear strength, cat lightness, etc., which will double the combat power of the skeletons. The remaining bones of those monsters will become new alien skeletons to strengthen Amber's team.
The fighting power of these little skeletons is so terrifying that Naomi estimates that even the army of Alchemy City would be easily killed by this army of skeletons.
It seemed that Amber's magic power would never run out. If this lich wanted to deal with her tribe, she could probably slaughter all the Golden Vine tribe in less than half a day.
Is this the power of the legendary lich? Amber easily commanded the little skeletons to sweep across the entire sewer.
Amber was able to slaughter those sewer monsters with little spellcasting ability very easily. How could a melee fighter stop a sea of skeletons, especially alien skeletons whose melee ability was several times stronger after Amber's modification?
These little skeletons are similar in shape to Kha'Zix No. 1, with a three-legged structure and a pair of simple claws. They cannot perform many complex movements, but their strength and speed are far beyond those of skeletons of the same level.
The combat doesn't need to be that complicated, just pounce and bite. After all, no one expects the skeleton to do a set of sun-shaped punches like a monk, so there is no need to have so many joints.
After Raul's actual combat test, Amber optimized the structure once more, and it should now be considered as Kha'Zix Type II.
With full firepower, Ambershut advanced in the sewer at an extremely fast speed. The army of skeletons around him continued to expand. Until Naomi couldn't see the end at a glance, Ambershut suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Naomi asked curiously.
"Well, it seems I found it."
Amber pointed forward, but Naomi could only see darkness and nothing else.
Amberxiu didn't explain, he just commanded the skeleton army to crush past.
Soon, a lot of squeaking sounds came from the front, as if the skeleton army encountered a group of rats and started a fierce battle.
In less than half a minute, the squeaking sounds quickly died down, leaving only the crunching sound of the skeleton walking on the ground.
It was obvious that the rat pack was completely crushed.
Amberxiu's skeleton face did not change at all. He continued to calmly control the skeleton army to move forward. Not long after, a roar was heard from the other end of the sewer.
Naomi also heard the strange cry, which was so unpleasant that it sounded like the cry of a night owl, or the scream of a dying crow.
"Is that the witch?" Naomi asked.
Amber nodded and said, "Yes, her rat colony is almost dead."
"Hey, why doesn't she put your skeleton army into the illusion? Wouldn't his rat pack have a better chance of winning?" Naomi asked curiously.
Logically speaking, the skeleton army should have been influenced by the witch after entering the illusion. Why would the witch give up such a good terrain and instead release the rats to fight the skeleton army?
Amber turned around and asked Naomi, "How come you don't even understand something as basic as this? Oh, I forgot, you druids don't add intelligence. Your natural spells rely on perception and the power of the natural environment."
Even though druids can use spells and mages can also use spells, the casting principles of the two are completely different.
"Okay, let me teach you some common sense. All spellcasters who rely on their own strength to cast spells need to consider the issue of consumption. For a large-scale illusion like this, if you want to trap someone inside, do you have to affect the other person's senses at all times and in all places?"
Naomi nodded, not quite understanding what was going on. It seemed to be true.
"In the final analysis, illusion is the collision between souls. Creating an illusion requires consuming one's own spirit. Now a group of druids have been trapped in the illusion. It is already a bit beyond the power of the witch to prevent them from getting out. If my skeleton army rushes into the illusion together, how can a mere witch confuse hundreds of skeletons at the same time? Aren't skeleton souls souls? Her head will explode in an instant, and the illusion will be broken without a fight."
After Amber's explanation, Naomi suddenly understood.
The witch couldn't influence so many individuals at the same time, so she released the swarm of rats. However, she didn't expect that the rats were so vulnerable to this group of skeletons and were directly defeated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Naomi's face flushed with excitement. She opened her mouth and shouted, "Dad Jones, I'm here to save you!"
Amber looked at Naomi and was too embarrassed to tell her that the illusion had not been broken and the sound could not be transmitted.
But it's almost the same, no need to waste time.
Before, Amberxiu boasted about how powerful the hag was and how only a Legendary could deal with her. But in fact, he was just fooling the rookie druid. A small character like the hag could be destroyed with a snap of the fingers by a Legendary.
Amber's thoughts had penetrated the crude illusion barrier and were firmly locked onto the witch. Now, as long as he waved his staff and fired a series of ice rays, she would die.
However, just as Amberxiu raised his staff, he heard the witch say loudly: "Enough, if there is anything, we can discuss it. If I have offended your territory, I can leave now! We are all evil creatures, there is no need to kill each other, can't we discuss it?"
The witch's voice was so sharp and thin that it hurt Naomi's ears, but she didn't bother to cover her ears and turned to look at Amber.
Naomi was very worried. What if Amber listened to the witch and turned against her? Even with the protection of the Silvanus statue, Naomi was definitely no match for this legendary lich.
What should I do? Will this lich master keep his promise?
Naomi originally wanted to comfort herself. This Ultraman Master had behaved rationally and properly along the way. He didn't look like someone who would tear up a contract. He shouldn't agree with the advice of this witch, right?
However, Amber Xiu blurted out without hesitation: "How many gold coins can you offer?"
Naomi: (°ー°〃) Would it be better for me to run away now?
