Heart of the Castle

Chapter 362 Blasphemy Ritual, Star Rain Burns

The top of the White Bone Tower was destroyed by the magic power of the undead soaring into the sky when the ceremony just started. The entire top of the tower, including the bone wall on the top floor, was shattered into countless fragments, scattered around the tower. In the mud with a radius of [-] meters.The top floor of the tower is completely exposed in the air, and the six hideous bone thrones composed of human spines and skulls are particularly eye-catching, faintly arranged into a hexagram composed of two equilateral triangles.There is a lich sitting on each throne of bones, and the dark green light is instilling from their hands to the armrest of the throne, and then enters the energy core of the bone tower.

"It's really a bunch of lifeless reptiles." A lich's teeth rattled, and his tone was more angry than sarcasm.When the raid team wiped out the death knights, the accusers had already received the news, but it was at the stage of the full-scale launch of the blasphemy ceremony, and every trace of power had to be controlled with incomparable precision. He didn't dare to do the order, for fear that any negligence would lead to the failure of the ceremony.

They had already overestimated as much as possible, but they still didn't expect that the dark alchemy ritual of summoning Yinchen consumed so much magic power of the undead.So these powerful undead creatures could only sit helplessly on their respective bone thrones, outputting their magic power with all their strength to meet the needs of the blasphemy ritual, while venting their inner emotions with words.

"They won't be rampant for long. When the ceremony is completed, it will be the time to kill all life in the swamp." The lich wearing the golden crown said in an indifferent tone.However, before he finished speaking, a lich on the opposite side uttered a surprised exclamation, and even the output of undead mana fluctuated. Although he calmed down after a short while, it still caused other liches to cast angry expressions. look.

"Hold on, do you want the ceremony to fail to achieve the most perfect result?" the lich wearing the golden crown said in a stern tone.

"Sorry, Your Excellency, but please take a look at this." The exclaimed Lich apologized and pointed to the crystal ball in front of him.

"What did you see that made you scream like a young apprentice who just got into magic?" Another lich taunted, his eyes also falling on the crystal ball.

Through the picture in the crystal ball, the situation under the Bone Tower can be seen at a glance.The performance of one of the members of the raiding team attracted the attention of the Liches. The young girl in a black mage robe and a pair of huge black wings stretched out from her back stretched her hands forward, and the palms gathered together, which made the Liches feel secretly. The strong energy of fear.

"This kind of super-condensed magical power structure is unimaginable... Kuxi is on the top! Is this the space obliteration technique in order magic? Or the big cracking technique in chaos magic?" a lich said in an unbelievable tone .

"Neither, those two are taboo magic, and they cannot be cast by ordinary great magisters at all." The lich wearing the golden crown was the most calm, "The one below..." The lich paused for a while, and decided not to Then use contemptuous words to address the spellcaster who deserves their attention, "...the power gathered by the black-robed witch is indeed no worse than that of ordinary magisters, but there is still a considerable distance from the great magister."

"Everyone, please stabilize the output of magic power, otherwise, if the ceremony fails, we will all have a hard time." The gray-robed man who presided over the ceremony suddenly said angrily, "As for the guys below, I don't think it is worth considering at all, even if they really Even if you can use the space obliteration technique or the big cleavage technique, don't even think about penetrating the protection of the dark alchemy hexagram array!"

"Master Youyue is right." The lich wearing the golden crown agreed, and then the green flames in the eye sockets flashed, "I see, that witch in black robe is using the innate magic of the black crow clan. Astoria's Great Destruction. It is equivalent to a weakened version of the Great Disintegration, and the casting time is longer, and the range and directivity are also weaker."

"Although it is a weakened version, it is enough to destroy ordinary magic barriers, even the protective spells cast by the great magister." A lich asked the gray-robed man, "Master Youyue, can you ensure that the dark alchemy hexagram array is enough to Block the magic?"

"Of course, I promise." The gray-robed man replied in a very displeased tone.

The liches exchanged glances with each other. They did not absolutely trust this dark alchemy master who claimed to be You Yue, but the order from the higher-ups of the deceased told them to do everything possible to cooperate with this mysterious master to launch Blasphemy ritual.

"It seems that we have no other choice. We can't stop this half-finished ceremony, right?" the lich wearing the golden crown came to a conclusion, and the rest of the liches nodded in agreement.Then silence returned to the top of the bone tower, only the strange howling sound still echoed endlessly when the undead's magic power was output in large quantities.

However, the magical attack they expected did not come.After a young man wearing a traveler's cloak said a few words to the girl in the black robe, the girl stopped her preparations for innate magic, and then these people gathered together for a discussion, and then divided into three groups and dispersed. Come.

This time it was Master Youyue's turn to flicker his gaze, and made a sound of tsk-tsk, "There is actually a fellow below?" He said in a slightly surprised tone.

"Coming together? Master Youyue, do you mean that there is also an alchemist among those dirty swamp crawlers below?"

"It seems so." Master Youyue replied, "It is likely that the young man who stopped the black robe witch, he may have discovered the alchemy circle protecting the Bone Tower."

"Then will he interfere with the ceremony?"

"Of course... no!" Master Youyue shook his shoulders and let out a low laugh, "That young man only knows some common sense of alchemy at most, divide into three groups, and plan to destroy three nodes at the same time? Hehe, could it be He thought that the alchemy formation protecting this tower was formed from the simplest three-pointed star?"

When Master Youyue sneered, the Black Crow Queen was standing more than ten meters away from the Bone Tower, her exquisite face was as cold as ice, but her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"Don't try your best, Ms. Siegfried, the power protecting this tower is not a magic barrier. Even if you can fully cast Astoria's Great Destruction, I'm afraid you won't be able to destroy it."

Li Wei's words echoed in the heart of the Crow Queen like thunder. Astoria's Great Destruction is not a well-known magic. On the contrary, this talent magic of the Crow Clan has not appeared in front of the world for hundreds of years.Even the Black Crow family was interrupted due to the inheritance of the Black Crow Queen, and the records are unclear. She herself gradually realized this innate magic after she was promoted to the Black Crow Queen.

Li Wei looks very young. Even if he has been exposed to magic education since he was a child, he probably won't easily understand this unorthodox innate magic. What's more, when he makes a judgment, this magic is still in the process of condensing!

The doubts in her heart made her want to ask several times, but she swallowed the question in the end.The most important thing now is to find a way to destroy the blasphemy ritual of prosecuting the deceased. If it fails, everyone will die, so this issue is not so important.

Accompanied by Worf and Gala, the old hag Stiba came to the other side of the tower to get ready.Her innate magic is to launch a huge ice spike, which is quite powerful, comparable to the magic released by any great magician, but it still seems a little insufficient to destroy a node of the six-pointed star array.Regarding this point, the leader of Stiba himself is also very clear. However, both the Queen of the Crow and Levi have nodes that need to be destroyed, and the others do not have the ability to cast magic. In this direction, she can only try her best. up.

Accompanying her was the short, stubby Babrupa, who had been muttering non-stop since just now, and Stiba was already very disturbed. Hearing this guy's complaints and complaints, Inevitably became more irritable.

"Hey, shut up and rest for a while, Mr. Babrupa, your nagging is really annoying!" Stiba, who couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly cried out.

"Father God, I can't shut up." Babrupa shook his head and continued, "Hey, everyone should know who reminded Master Li Wei just now, so that everyone can successfully kill those terrible deaths Knight, who has found the most vulnerable place in the Bone Tower, but you have no ability to penetrate there."

Babrupa's words made the leader of Wolf of the Tooth Tribe blush, but fortunately, the werewolf's hair is thick, so it's not easy to see. "Fat boy, what are you capable of? You dare to teach us a lesson. If it wasn't for the face of Li Wei, the leader of the Griffin Tribe, a fat, tender, juicy meat like yours would be enough for me to eat a tooth sacrifice! "

The low growl of the werewolf made Babrupa shrink his neck instinctively, but he quickly regained his composure, "Speak with your conscience, Chief Worf, I heard that the werewolf in the Rotten Swamp is good. Such a warrior."

"Of course it is," replied Chief Worf, puffing out his chest.

"The lizardman is too, hiss." The leader of the Gala of the Grayscale Tribe said not to be outdone.

"Since it's a good job, don't turn a blind eye to the merits of my establishment, and you should pay more attention to heroes like me." Babrupa said with a flexible tongue, "The pious Babrupa has done enough." Quite a lot, to be honest, if every aborigine in the Rotten Swamp could do what Babrupa did, there would be no need for Master Levy, and the dead would have been kicked out a long time ago.” He turned his head to wrinkle The frowning old hag said, "Let's talk about the troubles now, Chief Stiba, are you worried that you won't be able to destroy that... alchemy circle node?"

"That's right, the magic power of my ice spikes doesn't seem to be enough." Stiba froze for a moment, then nodded straightforwardly.

"Santa Morata, who praises freedom, the leader of Stiba, please remember something in the future." Babrupa said with a sly smile, "If you have any difficulties, find the pious Babrupa, he will help you To solve your problems, you only need such a negligible little reward."

"As long as you have a way to destroy the alchemy node, just ask for anything you want." Stiba replied almost without thinking, "But I don't want to be deceived, if your method doesn't work..." Her voice suddenly darkened , opened a mouth full of sharp teeth, showing a threatening smile, "Even Lord Li Wei can't save your life."

"You misunderstood, Babrupa never lied," said short, stubby Babrupa in a mournful voice, and began to fumble in his bark box, "Actually, this thing You should have an impression, Chief Stiba." The first thing he took out were some small bags wrapped in waterproof parchment paper, all of which were written in strange shapes used by dwarves, "Universal door opener, in It is also useful when blowing up any node." He introduced, and then took out a wooden box, which contained more than half a box of flint pieces, "This is also something that gnomes often use to match the universal door opener. They call it Thor's hammer. !"

"Thor's hammer?" Leader Worf repeated with some doubts, "I think it looks like a box for bones, especially the bones left by the little fatty lying." He said, looking at it maliciously. Holding Babrupa's fattest two short legs.

"How do I use this thing?" The old hag Stiba didn't doubt anything, after all, she had witnessed the power of these so-called universal door openers, which could even blow up doors sealed with powerful undead magic. opened things, and this time Babrupa took out far more than last time.

"It's muddy all over the ground now, and we can't dig a hole," she said. As for the person to light the thing, Stiba had already decided to be himself.

"The object of the explosion this time is not an entity, and there is no need to dig a hole. And with Thor's hammer, you can use your ice spike magic to detonate this thing from a safe distance." Babrupa opened the paper bag , Pour the fuming powder inside into the wooden box, and replied.

Soon he poured all the smoking medicine into the wooden box, then carefully closed the lid tightly, and wrapped the wooden box tightly with the parchment that wrapped the smoking medicine several layers. "If this gets wet, it will be finished... Okay, now we need to find that node, Chief Stiba, did Master Li Wei tell you the exact location of the alchemy node?"

"Of course, here." Stiba squinted his eyes to estimate the distance to the Bone Tower, took two steps forward, and tapped the ground with his toes. "Master Li Wei just asked me to use the strongest magic to bombard this place."

Babrupa went over to put the wooden box in place, and then tried to see if it was secure enough, "Father God bless, the movement of this thing will not be too small." He straightened his waist and turned to Stiba Showing a characteristic smile of a profiteer, "Look, Chief Stiba, for the benefit of destroying the swamp, I have delivered the goods first, so you can't renege on your debt."

"Although the Black Crow Tribe is not rich, they should still be able to pay you enough." Stiba said indifferently, "As long as this thing can really destroy the alchemy node."

"I promise... hey, by the way, what do the natives of the swamp use as currency?"

"A kind of shell, sizzling, very beautiful." The Gala leader told him mockingly.

"No way!" Babrupa looked as if some Thor's hammer had just hit him on the forehead, "Father God, Chief Stiba, you can't pay the bill with shells, I want gold, but also silver." OK, or..."

"Shut up!" The three aborigine leaders yelled at him together. Babrupa shivered and closed his mouth obediently.

"When our hags were collecting shells, we also collected a lot of freshwater pearls and some water agates." Chief Stiba eased his tone, "I think these are enough to pay the reward you asked for."

"Of course, of course." Babrupa's face immediately brightened again, "It's been a long time since I've done a decent business. To be honest, everything is good with Master Li Wei, but the business is not easy... ..."

"Look, the dark clouds in the sky have changed again!" The Gala leader who had been focusing most of his attention on the sky suddenly said, and everyone looked up at the sky, and found that they had been disturbed by the green light from the Bone Tower and turned into a huge cloud. The swirling sky had indeed changed again.

The huge vortex composed of dark clouds has completely turned into a miserable green color, and various strange sounds are being emitted from the center of the vortex, like the roaring of cows and horses, or the screaming of countless people.Immediately afterwards, countless dazzling electric lights shot out from the center of the vortex, tearing apart the sky, and the vortex rolled violently, as if the legendary witch was brewing an evil potion.Huge green pulp bubbles continuously emerged, and quickly disappeared into the tumbling vortex. Occasionally, a pulp bubble exploded, splashing out some dazzling green sparks, but before these sparks fell, they were absorbed by the vortex again , and then began a more violent tumbling.

In the other direction of the Bone Tower, Li Wei was also looking up to the sky, feeling uneasy about this shocking spectacle.

"It's started. This is the final step. If he is allowed to complete all of them, Yin Chen, who is known as the number one demon king in dark alchemy, will be summoned into this world, causing unimaginable damage to the entire northern border of the kingdom." Disaster." Mr. Dish's old voice sounded in Levi's ears, and there was actually a trace of exclamation in his voice. "A person who can complete such a dark alchemy ritual is really a genius. If he is given enough time to develop, he might become a master alchemist."

"Mr. Dish, these green bubbles...are Yin Chen?" Li Wei hurriedly changed the subject.

"Of course not. Although Yinchen is worshiped as a god in dark alchemy, according to my research, Yinchen is not actually a conscious life, but an aggregate of countless tiny lives. Those green sap The bubbles are pure undead magic power, and Yin Chen is absorbing them to strengthen himself."

"Could it be, Green Mars?"

"Your thinking is very sharp, Levi." Mr. Dish praised, and then paused, his voice carried the taste of memory, "How did I describe the terrible scene I saw last time? The star rain is burning... yes, the star rain is burning!"

An extraordinarily huge green pulp bubble appeared in the middle of the vortex, and the color quickly faded and became brighter and brighter. It seemed that something was about to be bred in it. Although it hadn't really appeared yet, it made Li Wei's scalp tingle.

"It's now, let's do it!" Mr. Dish suddenly said loudly. Levi had been preparing for a long time, and immediately stretched out his hands, and the fiery red air flow quickly condensed. Fireball, the appearance of this fireball is exactly the same as the head of the young lord, not only the facial features, but even the hair and eyebrows are completely visible!
"Do it!" Li Wei's voice rolled under the sky like thunder, and then he pushed his hands forward, the mouth above the fireball opened, and there was a cry from inside that seemed to be a charge, and then dragged a long The golden red tail flame flew forward!
