The knight in the abyss

Chapter 791 Mutation
Apart from Brutal's proposal, Lancelot couldn't think of any better way.He untied the string of skulls he brought over and placed them one by one on the black crystal altar.

The area on top of the altar was large enough for him to make a small pile of skulls.Lancelot released nine in a row, but when he was about to release the tenth, he suddenly stopped and looked around uneasily, as if suspecting that someone was watching them secretly.

Everyone was confused by Lancelot's weird behavior. If there were enemies, he should have warned them directly. Maybe something else made the human knight feel threatened?
"What's wrong with you?" Brutal asked immediately, "Is there something wrong?"

"My intuition tells me not to continue..." Lancelot lowered his head with a strange expression, looking at the skull he was holding in his hand, "You know, my intuition has always been accurate."

"Could it be related to this skull?" Brutal moved his face closer, "Could it be that it's not dead yet?"

"It's none of its business." Lancelot took a deep breath, "It should be something that will happen once it is put on... the kind that is very dangerous to us."

"That's it..." Brutal twisted his shoulders, turned his neck, and lifted his shield and hammer, "Let it go, I'm ready."

"..." Lancelot's mouth opened wide in surprise, and finally turned into a dumbfounding expression.He patted Brutal on the shoulder hard, turned his head to look at the others, "There will probably be a fierce battle next, and you all know what to do."

The partners looked at each other, and each started to cast spells.

The elf priest first cast a spell through the ascending ring, and used the spell slot of the fourth ring to cast an assistance spell that can strengthen the vitality of the companion, and then summoned a ghost guard shining with golden light in the room, and the guard would automatically attack approaching enemies. It is a four-ring magical spell; in order to protect relatively weak scholars, he cast a second-ring guardian chain. The effect is that when the subject is around the caster, it is easier to resist physical attacks and spell effects. It means that when the subject takes damage, the caster will also take the same damage.

In the end, he used his spellcasting concentration to cast the blessing spell. This magical spell can give the three subjects a little extra advantage in all activities involving confrontation. Aramir used it on himself, Karaline and Barend.

As a witch swordsman, Tanya also has the ability to cast spells.However, her spellcasting mode is different from that of wizards and priests. Half-elfs have very few spell slots. There are only three spell slots in total, but all of them are fifth-ring spell slots. He will not use his spellcasting ability lightly-but now is the time to use it.

She cast a spell called Armor of Aegacys for herself, summoning a phantom armor like frost on her body.This spell was originally only a one-level spell, which could slightly strengthen the caster's health and cause a small amount of frost damage to the attacker, but when cast with a fifth-level spell slot, the effect became very amazing. In Lancelot In the induction, Tanya's vitality is already as strong as Brutal's.

The scholar first cast a mirror image on himself, summoning three identical phantoms around him—this may not be appropriate, because the one in the middle is not necessarily his real body.There are many options for what to do next. You can bless Lancelot with the acceleration technique to maximize the attack ability of the human knight; you can also use the obscurity technique for yourself, which will greatly enhance his survivability in fierce battles.

However, Kara Lin's final choice was to cast an advanced invisibility spell for himself. Compared with its normal version, the four-ringed magic has the difference that the advanced invisibility spell will not break out of the invisible state due to attack or casting, but the duration is only 1 minute.

Of course, the scholar did this out of a strategy discussed with his companions in advance. As soon as his figure disappeared into the air, Lancelot, who had already prepared, put the last skull on it.After he let go of his hand, some kind of red light lit up inside the black crystal altar, and the red light branched inside the altar, shining on the bottom of those skulls like a spider web.

In the next second, those heads were all bounced into the air, as if someone lifted the altar up.Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Lancelot was about to draw his sword subconsciously, but those skulls didn't fly towards him, but fell unsteadily into the pile of skulls at the other end of the room, and soon Mixed into it, it is difficult to distinguish.

"Huh...it seems like nothing..."

As soon as Brutal's words fell, a low roar suddenly came from everyone's ears.Everyone's expressions became tense again, but with a little discernment, they could tell that the sound came from a very far away place, and it only lasted for a few heartbeats before it stopped.

"Maybe it's the sound of the mechanism running." Karaline breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that we go back to the hall just now, we might find that the stone door has been half opened..."

"Lancelot, it seems that your intuition has failed...or maybe it hasn't. The real danger is actually behind that stone door..."

The dwarf wanted to say something more, but some weird pressure made him suddenly speechless.There were more changes in the room, and Alamir's torch-like mace instantly became dim, like a bonfire about to go out; clusters of pink light spots appeared in the dark air, which looked like It is a jellyfish swimming in the water, floating slowly and irregularly in mid-air.

In this weird and tense atmosphere, the huge pile of skulls in the corner of the room moved.The skull with an irregular appearance is like a rolling stone on the hillside, bouncing and rolling down from a high place, a huge shadow gradually rises into the air, and a sense of imminent disaster arises in everyone's heart a feeling of.

The next moment, those light spots suddenly shone brightly, as if a sleeping person suddenly opened his eyes.In the center of the light spot, a huge skull with a radius of more than five feet emerged. The place where the bridge of the nose should have been on the skull turned into an eye socket-like depression, and there was a strange and malicious pink flame jumping in it; Under the eye sockets is a big mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, which looks even more terrifying due to the lack of skin and flesh.

"Oh, damn it." The usually elegant and calm Priest Sune sounded as if his neck was being strangled, "That's a dead-eyed tyrant...We're screwed..."
