Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 218 Undead King Odyssey

Astral clairvoyant?
"This tower is indeed related to the Insight Organization. What kind of existence is this Insight Organization composed of prophets? What role does it play on the mainland?" Thorn frowned slightly as he looked at the content on the wall. My heart is full of puzzlement.

According to the last words of the high elf wizard who once lived in the tower in Pushang Town, he belongs to the time-space clairvoyant, while the owner of the tower in front of him belongs to the star realm clairvoyant.

Thorn remembered very clearly that night when he was wandering in the wilderness, he met the Nightingale Walker from Jade Garden, a mysterious half-elf druid. Regarding the matter of the plane seer.

Obviously, this mysterious half-elf druid should have known that he had contact with the clairvoyant, and she seemed to know nothing about the clairvoyant of the plane, but she had a strong interest.

"Time-space clairvoyants are lawful neutral, astral clairvoyants are absolutely neutral, and plane clairvoyants are a group of insane idealists, and their camp is chaotic neutral."

Thorn once again recalled the female player, the goblin wizard Malvisa, who explained to him the evaluation of this group of mysterious prophet organizations.

"What's the connection?"

Thorne, who was getting more and more confused as he thought about it, finally shook his somewhat confused head and walked towards the unknown underground passage. He always felt that these questions might be able to get the answers he wanted in the underground passage.

So Thorne carefully avoided the swarm of rats and came to the vicinity of the underground passage.

Then he drew out his long sword, concentrated all his attention, and looked carefully at the entrance of the stairs leading to the ground. Then he turned into a hazy figure and walked along the long stairs into the darkness. go.

The distance of the stairs is not very long, Thorne walked cautiously all the way, and arrived at the destination after about ten minutes.

The entire underground space before his eyes was a world shrouded in dark clouds, which looked eerie, full of deep darkness and shadows everywhere, like a giant beast, trying to devour any living being at any time.

Since his "dark vision" characteristic can only have a maximum viewing distance of 20 meters in a completely dark space, he can't see the extent of the entire underground space at all.

However, based on the icy cold wind blowing past him from time to time, Thorne let him know that this underground world may not be as simple as he imagined, and it is more like a secret base for cultivating something.

Thorne walked forward slowly while feeling the icy negative energy wafting, and his inner vigilance increased a little with the silence.

After all, the curious female player Alvy almost lost her life here two days ago.

Suddenly, Thorne, who was walking slowly, felt the slight tremor of the Demon Slayer in his hand, his expression changed, and he immediately sensed the fatal crisis coming from behind.

So he turned around abruptly, swung the Demon Slaying Sword that was already ready to go, and slashed fiercely into the dark shadows.

"boom!"

The sharp blade tore through the air, but was suddenly counteracted by an invisible force. There was no sound of cutting flesh and blood as expected, but it sounded more like being cut by some kind of hard claw.

With the end of the collision, Thorn's figure immediately retreated, distanced himself from the unknown enemy.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

At this time, a strange voice like a night owl sounded in Thorn's ear.

Immediately after, a burly figure floating in mid-air appeared in his line of sight, and the other party roared angrily: "Little mortal, you have broken into the domain of the undead king Otis, you must die!"

"The Immortal King Otis?" Thorne narrowed his eyes slightly.

As one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the Abyss, their general information is no secret in the Prime Material Plane.

The main reason why Otis calls himself the undead king is because he created the world's first undead creature, so he is worshiped by all undead creatures and the living who use the power of undead.

For example, the most common lich, in the main material world, wizards who want to master the secret of immortality and successfully transform into immortal liches must propose a reciprocal deal with demons, evil gods, or other evil existences.

And most wizards who intend to transform into liches will choose to find the most powerful undead king, Odyssey. Of course, the price they pay is basically to swear allegiance, which leads to the wizards' talents being used by Odyssey. , indirectly strengthened the power of the undead king.

As one of the most powerful demon lords of the Abyss, what he desires most is to make the entire multiverse into a dead and dark world suitable for the survival of undead creatures, so that all existence is subject to his will and becomes eternal. So the Undead King has been working towards this goal.

"So, on the first floor of the tower, the woman mentioned in the message from the necromancer Winster is very likely to be a deal with Otis.

Although it failed, Otis' minions were left behind in this underground world. Thorne looked at the demonic creature floating not far in front of him and guessed secretly.

The only thing that puzzled him was that after the necromancer named Winster left the tower, he said in a message that he would come back again, so has he ever come back?

"Don't worry about that much, let's clear up the troubles in front of us. The lord of Twin Towers Town probably died at the hands of this demon." Thorn ignored this annoying question for the time being, but looked at Demons not far away.

According to the remnants of the immortal will that he had absorbed, Thorne immediately recognized the identity of the demon, which was a burly demon from the bottomless abyss.

The Great Demons are the descendants of some terrible demon lords, demonic creatures created in ancient blood rituals.

It is said that the birth of strong demons is closely related to the undead king Odyss who is in charge of undead creatures. They directly obey the undead king and lurk in many places in the main material world to perform secret tasks to subvert the material plane.

"Could it be that this is a physical demon, not a projection? Then what role does he play here? What secret mission does the undead king perform?"

Thorne looked at the bald humanoid creature with pale skin and a strong body in front of him. He saw a pair of rotten wings sticking out from his shoulders, flapping constantly to maintain his balance. One eye was emitting scarlet blood light all the time, as if it contained some terrifying energy, which made him dare not look too closely at it.

Then Thorn's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharp blade in his hand couldn't help but tighten a little bit. In the simple collision between the two sides just now, although neither was injured, he still found the sharp claw at the end of the strong demon's arm. Slash marks left by the blade.

That is to say, although their strong fire resistance can be immune to his fire damage, they still can't resist the sharp blade. After all, the long sword has a natural restraint effect on all demon creatures.

As long as it can cause damage, Thorne has a way to keep the opponent here completely.

"Small mortals, welcome the fear of death!" The sturdy demon first glanced at the blade in Thorn's hand with fear in his scarlet eyes, then shook his claws that were cut by the sharp blade, and roared angrily.

Strong demons are never afraid of combat, and although they are less capable in combat than most other demons, they can subdue their enemies with a gaze attack.

——"Supernatural ability: energy-absorbing gaze!"

Immediately afterwards, the third vertical eye on the forehead of the Zhuangshuo Demon exuded a strange red light, cutting through the cold darkness at lightning speed and covering Thorne's body.

Faced with the attack of "energy-absorbing gaze", Thorne is naturally very clear. If this terrifying supernatural ability is hit, if the will save fails, his own professional level will be directly forcibly reduced by one level. recover.

With the challenge level of Zhuang Shuo Mo at level 9, although Thorne is confident that he can pass the will save with the steel soul martial arts, but this kind of matter related to his own level, in order to prevent accidents from happening, he dare not be blindly confident and arrogant.

So at the moment when the Strong Demon roared, he immediately activated another counter skill of the Steel Soul Sect, "Being Careful", and with the blessing of the "Focus" skill up to 24 points, he instantly predicted that the Strong Demon "absorbed energy". Stare" attack trajectory.

Thorn leaped up holding the sword, jumped more than ten meters away, and successfully avoided the envelope of the "energy-absorbing gaze" with ease.

——"Three-ring spell: exhaustion ray!"

The moment Thorne's feet just touched the ground, there was a cold evil laugh from the other direction, followed by a pure black negative energy ray shooting out from the darkness.

wight!

After Thorn heard the evil smile, he immediately guessed the other party's identity. This is another supernatural ability of the strong demon. Any humanoid creature killed by him will be transformed into a corpse demon with the ability to cast spells.

Then, the corpse monster hiding in the dark and attacking him was most likely transformed by the lord of Shuangta Town.

——"Steel Soul Pie (Coping Skill): Spirit Body Defense!"

Noticing the unavoidable attack, Thorne did not hesitate to launch the counter skill of the Steel Soul faction to resist the fortitude save.

The third-ring spell "Exhaustion Ray" belongs to the Necromancy School spell. If you fail to pass your fortitude save after hitting the target, you will fall into a state of exhaustion within a certain period of time, causing you to have no strength to move your feet. Only at the mercy of others.

When the pure black negative energy ray hit him, it quickly spread to his whole body. Thorne immediately felt that all the strength in his body seemed to disappear suddenly, and the sharp blade in his hand almost came out.

However, with the activation of his counter skills, a spiritual force transformed from Qi energy instantly began to fight against this erosive negative energy atmosphere, and the ring of the holy warrior in his hand also emitted a sacred aura that would He shrouded his whole body, constantly dispelling the erosion of negative energy.

"call!"

Feeling the lost and regained power, Thorn let out a long breath, then clenched his long sword tightly, staring directly at the direction that just sneaked up on him with his cold eyes.

In the thick darkness, Thorn's figure was like an arrow flying from the string, and a gust of cold wind swept past, rushing at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Flame Star!"

The moment Thorn approached an ugly figure, a dagger drawn from his waist suddenly burst into dazzling white light, and the entire dark space became like daylight under the flash, bright and dazzling light surrounded the body The corpse demon in gorgeous aristocratic costumes is clearly illuminated.

As an undead creature, even if the dazzling light does not cause any harm, it will make them instinctively afraid.

"Pfft!"

Thorne's long sword in his right hand took the opportunity to flash a scorching flame amidst the wight's mournful wailing, and a rancid head crossed a parabola and fell to the ground.

——"See through the invisible!"

The moment the corpse demon died, Thorne's movements did not stop at all, and immediately activated the ring of the clairvoyant he was wearing.

In the dense darkness, the eye-like white pearls on the ring flashed a gleam, and a burly figure waving its claws immediately appeared not far from Thorne.

"Clang clang clang!"

Thorn immediately went up to the Strong Demon, and the collision of sharp claws and long sword sounded one after another.

The Strong Demon flapped its two rotten wings on its shoulders vigorously, while waving its sharp claws and roaring angrily.

As the two sides continued to collide, screams from the depths of the soul continued to come from the colliding blades, and a trace of instinctive fear emerged from the depths of the strong demon's heart.

——"Supernatural ability: energy-absorbing gaze!"

At this time, the strong demon ate a slash from the half-elf ranger, resisting the wound torn open by the blade, and took the opportunity to burst out a scarlet blood light from the third vertical eye on his forehead, covering the chasing ranger.

When Thorne noticed that the strong demon raised his head and roared, he immediately guessed the attack that the opponent was about to prepare, so he jumped again to avoid the blood light in advance.

The moment he landed, the two swords in his hands had already been replaced by a composite longbow and a sharp arrow.

"call out!"

Accompanied by crackling dark purple arcs jumping from the arrows, and with the howling sound of tearing the darkness, it galloped towards the sturdy demon who turned and fled.

When the arrow was released, the composite longbow in Thorn's hand was replaced with a long sword to slay demons, and then disappeared in a cloud of shadow energy.

"Pfft!"

The sharp armor-piercing arrows precisely penetrated the pale skin of the Strong Demon with a jumping arc, and the tearing pain caused by the electric shock made the Strong Demon couldn't help howling, desperately flapping his rotten wings towards the darkness. swept away.

However, a black shadow appeared strangely in front of him in a cloud of energy, blocking his way, followed by a sword blade with a scream of demons descending from the sky.

The strange screeching sound filled the depths of Zhuang Shuo Mo's soul, causing his strong body to tremble uncontrollably, and his flapping wings stopped abruptly.

"Pfft!"

When he reacted, the sharp blade had already started along the third vertical eye on his forehead, drawing a shocking bloodstain from top to bottom.

"Small mortal, you ruined the plan of the undead king Otis, and the great demon king will not let you go!" Before the strong demon died, he said a cruel word, and his whole body immediately turned into a pool of filth. of pus.

Just when the light gray soul of the strong demon was about to be sent to the bottomless abyss, it was suddenly pulled by a strange force, and accompanied by a piercing scream, it all fell into the demon mark in Thorn's palm.
