Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Lina stared in surprise at the evil god's finger in Li Ming's hand. "What is this?"

"The things they summoned." Li Ming smiled and raised the evil god finger in his hand to show it off.

"No way? They really summoned an evil god?"

Lina sensed a strange energy from that fingertip, similar to the energy she felt in her mother.

"How can there be divine power inside this ball of flesh?"

"A fleshy ball?" Li Ming moved his finger away and indeed found that it looked like a fleshy ball. He twitched his lips.

"Let me see it." Lina reached out and snatched the finger, magic surging from her hand to cover it.

However, before she could examine it closely, a surge of crimson energy flowed from the evil god's finger, traveling along her palm and into her body.

Lina's body immediately froze, and wherever the crimson energy passed, crimson lines appeared from her flesh.

"Lina? Lina!!"

"Thump~"

Li Ming realized something was wrong and immediately picked up a wooden stick, knocking the evil god's finger from Lina's hand to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lina did not reply. Even without the source of the evil god's finger, the crimson patterns on her body continued to stubbornly spread upwards.

Seeing the crimson color spreading to Lina's head, Li Ming was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

"Damn it, has it been corrupted (affected by higher-level energy)?"

Li Ming pointed, and a transparent light membrane enveloped Lina, stopping the spread of the scarlet patterns.

This transparent light membrane was the effect of the [Azure Lotus Pearl] skill he purchased from the system shop after noticing that something was wrong with Lina.

-----------------

Azure Lotus Orb: +10 Armor, +6.5 Health Regeneration, +4 Energy Regeneration, +250 Energy. Active Ability: Echo Shell.

Echoing Shell: Releases a shell on the target unit for 5 seconds, reflecting most targeted spells back to the caster. Has a weak dispel effect.

-----------------

Echo Shell does not reflect effects or damage that have already taken effect back.

Li Ming didn't know if the energy erosion of the evil god's finger was a targeted spell, nor did he know if the Echo Shell could reflect the energy erosion back.

However, he knew that the moment Lina was encased in the Echo Shell, the Echo Shell's dispelling effect took effect, and it was this dispelling effect that suppressed the crimson energy on Lina's body.

"What am I doing...?"

"Li Ming, run! The evil god's energy is still inside me; it's trying to control me... I..."

Lina regained consciousness for less than a second before losing it again.

However, Li Ming noticed that the spread of the crimson energy had slowed down slightly.

He immediately purchased a [Mysterious Staff] and a [Wind Staff crafting blueprint] from the system shop, upgrading the [Holy Staff] in his inventory into a [Wind Staff].

The Holy Staff can only be used on oneself and enemies, while the Wind Staff can also be used on teammates; when using the Wind Staff on oneself, one can also control the movement of the tornado, no longer being a stationary target.

Of course, most importantly, when the tornado takes effect, the target blown up by the tornado is invincible, and it also comes with a dispel effect, although it is only a weak dispel, but it is useful.

Lina's consciousness had barely faded when she found herself flying into the sky.

The familiar tornado beneath her made her realize that Li Ming had helped her again.

She could sense that the crimson energy within her body was only temporarily suppressed by the tornado; it still yearned to erode her body and control her soul. The magic power she had forged and solidified within her crimson energy crumbled at the slightest touch, completely unstoppable.

Lina knew the tornado wouldn't last long, so she immediately threw her spatial bag and staff to Li Ming.

"Take these and run! Go find my mother and ask her to come and save me."

Li Ming immediately understood Lina's idea, but he didn't intend to just run away.

Since the dispelling effect is effective against this evil god's energy, then we can deal with it and there's nothing to be afraid of.

However, this remains to be verified.

His eyes were fixed on Lina.

After the tornado disappeared, Lina landed. Seeing that Li Ming was still in front of her, she quickly gestured for him to leave before losing consciousness again. The blood-red patterns on her body spread again, but this time at a slightly slower pace.

"Great, the dispelling effect is really effective! It makes things much easier."

He immediately bought a +10 Agility [Blade of Joy], a +6 Intelligence [Mage Robe], and a [Soul Cleansing Blade crafting recipe] from the store, and crafted a [Soul Cleansing Blade].

Then purchase an Eaglehorn Bow with +25 Agility and a Soul Scattering Sword crafting recipe, and you can craft a Soul Scattering Sword worth 6100 gold.

Attack enemies with the [Soul Scattering Sword]. Each strike burns 40 points of the target's energy, and inflicts 1 point of damage for every 1 point of energy burned.

The active skill of [Scattered Soul Sword], Suppression, can simultaneously dispel the wearer and the target, slowing the enemy for 5 seconds and increasing the speed of allies and granting them speed resistance.

This is a very good offensive item, but for Li Ming, its most valuable feature right now is its "suppression" dispel effect.

With the release of "suppression", Lina regained consciousness once again. She signaled Li Ming to leave quickly again, and then lost consciousness again. The blood-red patterns on her body slowed down once more.

"Not enough, not enough, the effect of weak dispelling is far from sufficient."

Although the spread of the blood-red lines had slowed down somewhat, it was still very fast.

Although the active skills of [Azure Lotus Orb] and [Soul Scattering Sword] can be used once every 15 seconds, and the tornado of [Wind Staff] can be used once every 19 seconds, it is far from enough to completely dispel the evil god's energy before it spreads to Lina's head.

Left with no other choice, Li Ming bought a [Azure Lotus Pearl], a [Soul-Scattering Sword], and a [Wind Staff], then held them in his hands, ready to unleash their power. (The same equipment in the inventory shares a cooldown, but items held in hand do not.)

Just then, a flash of white light appeared on Lina's body, and she woke up again.

"This is... the Eternal Disc!"

After [Eternal Disc] is activated, it will produce a strong dispel effect, which is much stronger than a weak dispel. Combined with the 2.5-second damage nullification phase of [Eternal Disc], Lina regained consciousness.

What's wrong with me?

Logically speaking, she should have been driven mad by the evil god's energy by now!

"It's the effect of [Eternal Disc]. Its duration is very short. Take these two staves! Activate them one by one before the effect of [Eternal Disc] ends."

Li Ming shoved the two staffs into Lina's hands and urged, "Hurry, hurry, time's up, activate the staffs quickly."

Lina hurriedly grabbed her staff, not even understanding what was happening, before activating one of the staffs in her hand at Li Ming's urging.

A tornado appeared out of nowhere and blew her into the sky.
