The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 339 The Power of the Cursed Fire

In order to be able to see everything around him better, William lit the spare bull's-eye lantern. Under the light, he could clearly see that the bloody wound of the Manticore, which was twitching and about to die, quickly disappeared, replaced by New flesh and skin, intact fur, and the Manticore's own vitality is also recovering rapidly, even the thorns on the monster's back are also fully recovered.

It was the first time for William to see [Great Restoration Spell]. Restoration spells are more advanced healing spells. They can not only heal wounds, but also regenerate mutilated limbs.The [Great Restoration Technique] is the most powerful among them. This super magical technique is known as "as long as there is still a breath, even if there is only one finger left, it can immediately restore your full state to its full state."

Seeing that the Manticore recovered from his injuries, Tabari finally thought about dealing with the wounds on his body.The thorns fired by the Manticore contain a mild neurotoxin that sharpens the nerves of the victim, which means that the pain felt will be more intense.Of course, this toxin similar to the [Intensified Pain] curse will not make the victims suffer more damage, but it will make them reduce the degree of resistance because of fear of pain.

But Tabari didn't seem to take the pain seriously, she pulled out the bloody thorn and threw it on the ground nonchalantly, as if the sharp weapon was pulled from someone else's thigh.William held a bull's-eye lantern and took a look at the wound on Tabari's leg. It seemed that the aorta in the thigh had been injured, and the blood was not flowing.William said: "You'd better deal with your wound quickly - use your magic. A ruptured artery is no small matter. Even the slightest wound is enough to cause you to bleed to death."

But Tabari took out a roll of medical bandages from his rucksack, and said: "Don't worry! I have a lot of blood, even if I bleed like this for a day, it's okay. Keep an eye on that Manticore, its temper Not so good."

Medicinal Bandages are sackcloth strips coated with a potion that slightly speeds the healing of wounds.For most mercenaries and fighters who are short on cash, the cost of going to the temple to ask a priest to heal their wounds, this simple bandage is undoubtedly much more affordable and convenient, and of course its effect is also greater than the simplest healing technique. Not as good.

Tabari just wrapped up the wound with a medical bandage, but did not use spells to heal the wound.In fact, for most spellcasters, especially those archmages who have profound attainments in mysterious knowledge, healing spells are only used for emergencies at critical moments, and what is really reliable is the self-healing ability of the human body.

Untamed Manticores are vicious and brutal by nature, thankful for nothing, and fiercely vengeful.Realizing that he was alive and well again, the Manticore immediately jumped up and chose someone to feed on. This cunning beast is extremely smart. It already knew that William is not easy to mess with, so the Manticore deliberately avoided William and chose the man who had just been treated. Its Arcanist.

Compared to William, who was majestic and powerful, Tabari, who was smaller and injured, was undoubtedly easier to deal with.The Manticore has an amazing talent in hunting tactics. This time it chose a more secure attack method, using its claws sharper than a dagger and powerful wings, while the Manticore's semi-horn tail is extremely vicious He drew towards William to prevent this "terrible enemy" from taking the opportunity to intervene in the sneak attack.

However, the Manticore's counterattack did not hinder William at all. He didn't want to become the farmer in the story of "The Farmer and the Snake", and he didn't want his companions to suffer this fate either.At the beginning of the manticore's leap, William had already made the first move. He threw the bull's-eye lantern in his hand, stepped forward and reached out with both hands, and instantly grabbed the manticore's long tail. , dragging and throwing the nearly thousand-pound beast out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, William quickly rushed to Tabari, protected the injured female arcanist, and made preparations for the Manticore's counterattack.But William didn't wait for the expected attack, and the beast kept whimpering and rolling in the darkness, as if enduring great pain.

Although it was hard to believe that the beast would also use a trick to cheat, William still watched cautiously until he did feel a drastic change in the Manticore's blood fluctuations.William picked up the bull's-eye lantern again, and the carefully polished steel mirror made the light brighter and clearer. William and Tabari finally saw the condition of the Manticore clearly.

I saw that the neck of the Manticore was red and swollen as if it had been boiled, and there were clusters of horrible scorching bubbles that kept popping out, and soon the scorching bubbles burst automatically, splashing out a purple-black stinky liquid, emitting With a strange scorched smell, it landed on the ground with a "chi chi" sound.William was a little surprised. He knew that it was caused by the fire poison formed by the blood power contained in his fist, but William didn't understand why the [Great Restoration Technique] failed to eliminate the remaining flame power on the Manticore.

It's just that William noticed the emotional changes of the female Arcanist around him more than he paid attention to the Manticore.The woman's expression became very strange after seeing the horror of the Manticore.After the initial excitement, Tabari suddenly became extremely relaxed, as if she had suddenly received a positive answer to a long-standing question.

Tabari said in a rather brisk tone: "Oh! Look at this lucky poor kitten, it should be proud of it. Cursed fire! How long have I not seen this most original The magic power, although it is only the simplest prototype."

William stepped forward and turned the Manticore's body, the body temperature of the Manticore became very high, and the scorching fire poison was constantly corroding the flesh and energy of the Manticore like a tarsal gangrene, causing the monster to die In a short period of time, he was tortured to death by the terrible flame power, lying on the ground and moaning in pain, but there was no response to William's approach.

William checked with the bull's-eye lantern, and the Manticore was indeed tortured and lost the ability to resist.He turned and said, "Miss Tabari, is this normal?"

Tabari said: "Of course it is not normal. There are not many forces that can make the [Great Restoration Technique] powerless, and there are only a handful of people who meet this symptom. Considering your identity. William, I am afraid that you will be very difficult in the future." It's hard to live in peace. Of course you've got maddening troubles—"

William asked a little puzzled: "Why? Could it be that the power of my blood is very hated?"

Tabari smiled proudly: "It's not to attract people's hatred, but to attract people's envy. The power of the curse fire! It is the most primitive and purest magical energy in the entire magic network. Every kind of curse fire can be controlled. Yes, when used to beneficial effect, she is the most perfect healing and protective energy. When used in battle, the curse fire is a powerful and terrible ultimate holy flame."
