Chapter 277: Fire Injection Ceremony, Not a Strong Enemy
When the name "Three Corpse Warlocks" appeared in the air in bright red magic runes, Tammy admitted that he began to panic.
If you fall off a cliff and encounter an elite monster, you may not be able to defeat it even if you try your best.
No, isn't it a bit too much for me to encounter elite monsters alone?
Looking at the three corpse warlocks floating in the air who seemed to be preparing to use their ultimate moves, Tammy panicked for a moment and looked around for a place to hide.
But unfortunately, this is a small and square secret room, and there is no place to hide from attacks.
I don't know since when, whenever elite monsters and above appear in the Senn dungeon, they will be accompanied by exclusive BGM. The background music of the three corpse warlocks is extremely eerie, and the whispers of the dead are mixed in the miserable music. Coupled with the gloomy environment around, the oppressive feeling it creates is more severe than a mental attack.
The three corpse warlocks let out a strange cry and launched an attack on Tammy that he had been accumulating power for a long time!
It's over, I'm going to die!
Tammy tried her best to jump to the side in the hope of avoiding the attack.
At this moment, he was thinking about the Furnace Knight and other elite monsters. If it was an attack from those strong ones, then his ordinary pounce would be of no use at all, and he would have to die anyway!
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded behind him, and flames flashed for a moment. The huge fireballs released by the three corpse sorcerers turned the scene black.
Tammy showed a look of extreme fear. Look, it was a huge fireball, the kind that could explode immediately if it hit a person!
".Wait, big fireball?"
His expression suddenly changed, as if to say, "I've been waiting for such a long time and this is what you give me?"
Another big fireball followed. This was no ordinary fireball, it was a huge fireball, as big as half an adult's body.
Isn't that still a fireball!
This time, Tammy didn't even need to jump. She dodged the attack with a sliding step, but she didn't measure the distance accurately, causing her sleeve to be burned by the flames.
The three corpse warlocks were still firing fireballs. Tammy dodged back and forth in the gaps and couldn't help having strange thoughts in her mind - why did this elite monster look so weak?
The next second, continuous flames spurted out, forcing him back as he approached.
Seeing this scene, Tammy breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself:
"Finally, there's a move other than fireball. I knew an elite monster couldn't just use fireball."
However, after pulling away from them, the three corpse warlocks continued to fireballs.
Tammy was speechless this time.
He suddenly felt that maybe he could also kill the elite alone.
In fact, it is not impossible. He himself has the normal silver-level strength. The three corpse sorcerers here are not as threatening as the several Kasas warriors gathered together.
And he has been hanging around in the Senn dungeon since his debut. With the bonfire upgrade, his stats are higher than the normal silver level, and his reaction and resistance to danger are also higher.
There are many adventurers like him, and it seems that they have become quite large. Bed Weekly has reported the existence of this group, calling it the [Sean's First Generation Adventurers]!
Tammy dodged and maneuvered among the flames, and finally found an opportunity to attack with a blow, causing some damage.
The three corpse sorcerers screamed in pain, their bodies suddenly changed, and they suddenly appeared on the other side of the room.
Tammy's eyelids jumped. Could this guy like marathons like the old man Crystal? ?
No matter how weak a monster is, once it is involved in a marathon, the difficulty will increase dramatically.
The reality disappointed him, the three-person corpse warlock did not use marathon, he was not strengthened at all, but honestly used the clone-like skills, and suddenly three identical him appeared on the field.
If you don't know, you might think that two sacrifices are required to summon huge jets.
The fighting style of the three corpse warlocks is very simple, high-frequency fireballs and flame jets, low-frequency teleportation, and timely replenishment of clones after being killed.
It is very fragile and will stagger after being hit twice by a weapon like a greatsword. The weapon used by Tammy is a sword and shield - or a one-handed sword, and it is made of Thunder Wolf Dragon materials (a gift from Luluwo).
His charged shield charge coupled with the combat skill [Impact Enhancement] he had learned was enough to knock the three corpse warlocks off balance, and then he could stab them with a few more fierce blows!
Moving around in the fire, Tammy gradually found a fixed way of fighting, and could even take advantage of the enemy's attack movements in turn, such as using the impact force generated by the explosion of a large fireball to increase her own speed and quickly approach the enemy.
No matter if it is a clone or the real body, as long as we can chop it down, it’s done!
If Berto was here, he would have to praise his fighting awareness, which is an innate talent. This kid is a genius at least and will definitely achieve great things in the future.
The entire battle did not last long, just the time it took the Crucible Knight to cut two Stellans in half.
When the weird BGM stopped, the fire in the secret room went out, and the bodies of the three corpse sorcerers turned into dust and dissipated.
“It’s finally over”
Tammy's body was charred black, and she fell to her knees with a thud. She looked exhausted and could not hold on any longer, with severe burns all over her body.
The strength of the three corpse warlocks was indeed weak, but it was too difficult for him to fight alone. If he didn't have a shield, he would have been killed by the corpse warlocks who believed in the Five Fireballs Cult.
It's a pity that he doesn't use a katana. If a katana warrior were here, he would be able to cut through enemies without any injuries (crossed out)
But winning is winning. At this moment, he just wanted to say to himself who was sure that the three corpse sorcerers were strong enemies at the beginning:
Not a strong enemy, but not invincible!
"It would be nice if Senior Aisi was here. I have already finished my healing potion."
His life was as fragile as a candle in the wind, and his condition was still deteriorating, but he would not die for a while.
At this time, the reward for defeating the three corpse warlocks finally appeared.
But this time it did not appear in the form of a light spot, but a stream of flame that shot straight into Tammy's body!
At the same time, such a message appeared in his mind.
[Secret Fire Ceremony]
[Choose a bonfire, inject humanity into it, perform a fire-injection ceremony, and awaken the power hidden in the flames]
"What is this?" Tammy's voice was as hoarse as an old bellows.
Along with the secret ritual of infusing fire, there also appeared a piece of humanity. This prop was currently believed to be only useful in the endless cycle of reincarnation, but people did not expect that it could be used to infuse fire at this moment.
Tammy had no time to care about what the so-called fire infusion and hidden power were. He just wanted to find a safe place to have a good rest. It would be best if he could find a healing potion. It would be even better if there were some jars nearby that he could smash.
He had never longed for a campfire as much as he did now.
After defeating the three corpse sorcerers, the tightly closed door of the secret room opened. He walked out mechanically. If he stood still, he would be burned to death. If he explored forward, he might find a glimmer of hope.
He is an adventurer, and his duty as an adventurer prevents him from stopping exploring. Even if he dies, he can return to the campfire and have a good rest, but that also means that the current progress will be reset to zero. For him, it is better to keep moving forward.
The burns made his consciousness hazy, and he didn't remember how he moved forward. It seemed that he encountered monsters on the road, but it also seemed that he didn't. He kept moving forward in a trance until...
A second official bonfire was discovered.
It was not the hidden campfire that Luluwo and the others had discovered, but a campfire that was clearly placed on the road and could be seen by people at a glance.
At this moment, Tammy's happiness became real.
His body suddenly regained strength, and he ran towards the campfire in a few steps. As he fell, he threw the weak flame in his hand that was ignited by magic into the campfire.
"boom!"
Flames shot up into the sky. Under the light of the fire, his lost strength was quickly replenished and his injuries were gradually getting better.
“Ah, the fire is so warm.”
He moaned in pleasure, and suddenly thought of the secret ritual of fire-injection, and threw the humanity on hand into the flames.
Suddenly, the bonfire burned more fiercely. Tammy suddenly jumped up and was surprised to find:
"All my injuries have recovered, and I have never felt so refreshed. It's like I rested for a long time in one go."
It was at this time that more corresponding knowledge appeared in his mind.
The Secret Ritual of Infusing, a technique developed specifically for campfires, can be used in-game to increase the number of elemental vials obtained after a campfire rests.
In this world, it has changed into instantly recovering injuries and mental strength and greatly enhancing the mental strength of the person sitting on the fire, slightly improving all attributes!
However, those who have obtained the secret ritual of fire-infusing can only use it on one bonfire. The other bonfires are still ordinary versions. The bonfire that has been infused with fire becomes a special version for the adventurer who has infused it with fire. Only he can invest humanity in it. Moreover, the effect of the fire-infusing ritual on the bonfire will not disappear after leaving and re-entering the dungeon.
In the dungeon, this enhanced state of the adventurer will last until death, and the enhanced state will be lost after resurrection, unless humanity is once again poured into the bonfire that has undergone the secret fire-injection ritual.
In the outside world, this enhanced state will have different durations depending on a person's talent, and can last up to seven days. Once it disappears, it still requires humanity to obtain it again.
After investing in humanity multiple times, it will also permanently enhance the adventurer's own mental strength to a small extent.
The humanity gained in the endless cycle of reincarnation cannot be taken out, so if you want to inject fire, you can only try your luck in the Catacombs of Casas.
There is a very small chance of getting humanity when defeating any monster, and the probability is probably lower than getting double gold in ten consecutive draws, but killing an elite monster can stably obtain one humanity. In addition, humanity can also be obtained from treasure chests, jars, etc.
At first glance, it seems like a benefit for adventurers, right? Its effect is similar to that of Greg's Great Rune.
But restoring mental strength and strengthening mental strength, it seems like it is for the purpose of exploiting them better and more continuously!
Again, adventurers will make money, but Sean won't lose either.
That's why the three corpse sorcerers are of mediocre strength, which can not only hold back the adventurers with low strength but also popularize the secret ritual of fire injection among those who are strong enough.
"What is this?"
Tammy suddenly noticed a bottle on her waist and picked it up to take a look.
【Element Bottle】
[The secret treasure of the undead is their most beloved treasure, which can restore physical strength and heal mental fatigue]
[Refillable at the campfire]
"Uh, healing potion?"
He tried to take a sip and his eyes widened instantly.
It's a super pure healing potion! One sip will make you feel refreshed! It's as if all your fatigue has flown away!
He had a feeling that as long as he had the element bottle, he would be able to continuously replenish the spirit damaged after death, and thus continue exploring in the dungeon!
Just one sip can restore a considerable amount of physical and mental strength. So, it seems that he can drink twenty sips from this bottle!
"It's such a benefit. I love it so much."
Tammy couldn't wait to go back and report the good news to the captain, believing that this news would help them defeat the Light Eagles.
"But how do we get out?"
He looked at the road before him and seemed to have no choice.
"If I continue walking, I won't run into the leader, right?"
Although he was a little worried, he still planned to continue -
"ah!"
A scream suddenly came from the depths of the deep and dark road.
