Chapter 467 Divine Art: Corpses Pile Up
The entire arena only has these three puppets?
Amber suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
With just this little stuff, how could he form a legion of heroes and rent them out as mercenaries? He was also thinking of taking advantage of the fierce battle between Ryan and the orcs to pull out these elite mercenaries and make a fortune?
In the end, there are only three of them. No matter how good they are at fighting, it is useless. Mercenaries who cannot decide the direction of the battlefield can only be used to consume the magic power of the enemy spellcaster.
It's like negotiating business with orcs with a magic cannon. The orcs won't bother to pay attention to you.
Amber's original plan was to have an entire magic artillery regiment that could destroy a city, so that he could make a fortune by just fighting a battle.
There are only three of them now, and they can’t be rented out for much money. We might even lose money on maintenance!
You know, it costs a lot to let Arthur Lane fight at his full strength.
Damn, I lost a lot this time.
Although Amberxiu had no expression on his face, Talos could still see what Amberxiu was thinking. He laughed and said, "I want to see your expression like this. I want to see you being at a disadvantage but not daring to say it out loud!"
Amber: ...
Not only was Amber silent, but even Arthur Ryan, who was standing beside him, was a little surprised. Was the legendary cruel and terrifying Storm Lord like this? Why did he look like a naughty child? As for Ariel, although she was still kneeling on the ground devoutly, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Is this the kind of god that he worships? The Lord of Storms used to be very frugal with words, and his oracles were always simple and direct, with no other emotions except majesty.
As a result, in front of the lich, he became like a child who had successfully played a prank.
Ariel and Arthur Lane didn't quite understand Umberth's current status in the hearts of the gods. Lovita, Tiamat, Rose, Shar, Zariel and many other goddesses had all fallen at the hands of Umberth. Based on this great achievement, the gods had already recognized that this lich should be deified just for his mouth.
It's just that Io probably doesn't want another cunning god on the Pantheon, so he hasn't agreed to promote Amberthau yet.
Talos had made this lich suffer a setback, how proud would he be if he told others about it? Not only that, in the near future, this lich would also send the Kuo-Tao fish-man goddess to him. If other gods knew about this, then Talos would be the first god who had successfully made this lich work for him.
Just as he was feeling proud, Amber Xiu sighed and said, "It is indeed a loss, it is all within your calculations."
Talos said in surprise: "Hmm? You admit defeat quite readily."
Amber Xiu said calmly: "Winning and losing are facts, and they will not change just because someone denies it. I am a lich, and I don't have the extreme emotion of denying it just to save face. Besides, it is normal to lose to the great Lord of Storms. Which mortal can beat you?"
Talos was very happy with Amber's words, and felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
That's right, isn't it normal for great gods to be better than mortals? This lich has already been convinced!
"Hahaha, that's right. You are more interesting than those mortals who are still stubborn even when facing death. A true warrior will not escape from his failure, but face his failure squarely. Few mortals can have this awareness. Since you admit defeat so straightforwardly, I am not a stingy god. You have passed the trial of destruction, and I should give you the corresponding reward."
Three rays of light flew out from Talos' projection and landed in front of Amber.
"At the beginning, each trial that my followers participated in was a series of ten levels, and only the final winner could obtain my reward. But now the last remaining force in the entire arena has been defeated by you, so make your choice."
Amber thought that gods like Talos were easy to understand. As long as you were worthy of His attention and you praised Him at the right time, this god would generously reward you.
It has to be said that Talos is the most generous god that Amber has ever seen.
Amberxiu carefully sensed the three rays of light. Talos did not hide anything. When Amberxiu's perception covered them, he could immediately sense what the reward was.
A staff, which can be considered a divine weapon, can comprehensively enhance spells of lightning, frost, and fire attributes, and can cast chain lightning three times without consumption.
Amber gave up after just one look.
This kind of staff is of no use to him. As long as he is given enough gold, the Golden Throne can defeat all magical equipment that assists in casting spells.
The second one is a heroic spirit, which is similar to the three heroic spirits he just took out, maybe a little stronger, but there is only one.
Amber Xiu hesitated for a moment. This thing was somewhat useful, but it seemed meaningless to change three into four.
However, he was quite excited about the last reward, which was a magical art exclusive to the giants - pile of corpses.
The effect is simple and direct, that is, a large number of corpses can be used to make that indestructible material.
The three giant puppets only had a shallow sword mark left after taking Arthur Ryan's Holy Slash. The material used to build the city gate was incredibly hard. The Dwarf Kingdom had to wait for an earthquake to create a gap before they could enter the city to explore.
The only problem is that this is a divine spell belonging to the giants, and two conditions must be met at the same time before it can be cast.
First, he must be a giant, and second, he must be a storm priest who believes in Talos. Both conditions are indispensable.
In other words, Amber himself cannot perform this magic, and even if Ariel comes, she won't be able to learn it.
But as long as he could learn it, Amberxiu had already imagined how terrifying the effect of this magic could be. The giants could create such a strong material just by piling up flesh and blood corpses, and Amberxiu could turn steel into "corpses". With this "corpse" plus the effect of the magic, could he create a truly indestructible armor?
As for how to use this magic, there is always a way. At least there is still hope, unlike the other two things that can be seen at a glance.
"Then I will choose this divine spell as my reward. Thank you, Lord of Storms, for your gift."
Amberxiu reached out and grabbed the ball of light, and the knowledge about the divine art of "corpse pile" was completely known to Amberxiu.
Unfortunately, these are not actually knowledge, but a "help" signal sent to Talos.
This is the essential difference between priest magic and wizard magic.
Magic is when you understand the nature of magic and use your own wisdom to perform it. As long as the goddess of magic does not stop you, you can perform the corresponding spell. It all depends on your personal ability. Divine magic is different. Divine magic is to ask the gods for help. You can perform it only if the gods agree. If the gods ignore you, the magic is useless.
After giving out the rewards, Talos left without hesitation. Only Amberxiu and three other people were left in the arena, along with three giant puppets lying on the ground.
Amberxiu stuffed the three corpses into his private space without hesitation. This indestructible body would definitely come in handy someday.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After packing up these things, Ariel asked, "Should we continue moving forward?"
Amberxiu shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Didn't you hear what Talos said just now? The last of the strength of this arena has been used up. The Githyanki who want to stay here will soon discover this. This is the only place they can survive, and they will search all locations thoroughly. And we also consumed a lot in the battle just now, so we need to rest and prepare."
Ariel then realized that they were here to look for the Githyanki.
Although it is unknown how many people this group of Githyanki lost in the other trial, they were able to survive for so long that they should have passed at least one trial and found a way to survive in this arena.
I heard that the Githyanki are reproducing rapidly, and I don't know how much their numbers have increased in this time.
The three of them had just fought a fierce battle and really needed a good rest.
Amberxiu replenished Arthur Lane's soul energy, then went into his own private space, taking the opportunity to study what he had just obtained.
The three heroic spirits that he had separated have been reassembled, and Amberxiu's technique is becoming more and more skillful.
"Let me see. I already have the heroic spirit of the giants. These corpses are also made of the flesh and blood of the giants. Theoretically, I can create a 'giant'..."
Amber was thinking whether he could make a giant storm priest himself. No one said that the undead couldn't be priests. As long as Talos nodded, liches could become his subordinate gods. Compared with other gods, this storm lord didn't have much racial discrimination.
Amber tried to transform the souls of these heroes so that they could maintain their faith in Talos while remaining loyal to him to a certain extent.
This is difficult, and if you are not careful it may become blasphemy.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. We can't just stand by and watch the magic go useless.
Amber was so busy that he forgot the time until Ariel informed him through the magic mirror that the Githyanki had appeared.
Amber Xiu walked out of the private space where he had been studying for almost two months, but the progress was so far very slow.
Faith and loyalty seem difficult to reconcile. You cannot let a devout believer be loyal to the gods and to himself at the same time, especially since the lich Ambersh has little respect for Talos.
"How did the Ryan people do it? They are loyal to both the royal family and the Lord of Dawn. Ah, I really want to catch a paladin to study!"
Amber sighed, and when he stepped out of his private space, a group of Githyanki had surrounded Ariel and Arthur.
However, there were also a large number of Githyanki lying on the ground in a mess. It seemed that the battle had already begun, but the Githyanki suffered a great loss.
This is not surprising. There are only thirty or forty Gisyanki people in this group, and there are probably no legendary strongmen. How could they possibly defeat Arthur and Ariel?
Seeing Ambershu appear, this group of Githyanki became even more agitated. The enemy was too powerful, and they didn't know whether to run or fight.
Amber had already transformed into a human form before he came out, which is generally more suitable for negotiations.
He gave a small smile and said to the Githyanki: "Don't be nervous, I am here to discuss business with the Githyanki."
