Arcane Journey

Chapter 197 Mummy Lord

"Crack..."

The sarcophagus hidden in the secret room began to vibrate as expected.

A blustery wind blew by, and out of the corner of Brian's eye he noticed a shadow cast on the ground.

An old antiseptic smell began to fill the air, with a faint smell of blood in it.

After realizing what kind of enemy appeared, his expression became serious, and he calmly blessed himself with the first-level ability "Mind Blank" and the fifth-level ability "Iron Tower of Will", to clear away all short thoughts and messy thoughts in his mind , referring to one's own will saves and psychic resistances.

"Roar!!!"

A terrible, slimy growl came out along with the stench of death.

With a roar, a mummy wearing ancient funeral clothes and most parts covered with dark yellow bandages climbed out of the coffin and rushed towards Brian.

The mummy's arms suddenly grew longer, exuding billowing negative energy, and it hit Brian in an instant, and the attack came unexpectedly.

——"Psionic flight!"

Brian had expected it a long time ago, so that his body was wrapped in the energy of the wind element in advance, and he rose into the air.

His long black hair fluttered, his cloak fluttered, and he looked down at the mummy lord who appeared.

A mummy is a kind of evil undead creature made by infusing necromantic magic into a prepared corpse through dark funeral rituals. They often stagger in the dead and lost temples and tombs, using unclean curses attached to their bodies Punish those outlaws.

Among the many ancient ruins, mummies, mummy lords, and ancient mummies in the realm of legends are the nightmare of adventurers and explorers.

Because their bodies are very hard, they can be immune to damage caused by any non-magic weapons, and the excellent resistance of undead creatures gives them great advantages and immunity against spells and magical effects.

Of course, the most important thing is their spellcasting ability and supernatural characteristics.

"Hehehehe..."

The mummy lord let out a grim laugh, raised his stiff head, and met his gaze with evil red eyes.

Brian didn't dare to be careless, he quickly turned his head away, waved the flaming wand, and quickly whispered spells.

This is a supernatural ability that the mummy lord comes with called "horrific glare". If you look into its eyes, you must make a will saving throw. If you fail the save, you will fall into a state of fear and paralysis.

- "Fireball!"

The moment he looked away, Brian, who was flying in mid-air, also used the "Arcane Twins" feature at the fastest speed to condense two of his best spells, and bombarded the mummy's body without hesitation.

As a wizard whose strength has reached the legendary realm, it is easy for him to release spells in mid-air with the help of flying.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two washbasin-sized fireballs dragged their tail flames, whizzed and hit the mummy lord's chest, and exploded loudly, causing his trembling body to hit the wall.

"Roar!……"

The slow-moving mummy lord suddenly let out a stern wail in the firelight.

This terrifying sound wave caught Brian off guard, his head was buzzing, his body almost fell from the air, and even the protective barrier he applied was shaken to splash one after another, which made him even have a nervous breakdown. An illusion that could be shattered at any moment.

After he stabilized his body, he quickly added an energy shield for himself to block sonic attacks, and only then did he feel his head feel better.

However, the mummy with the characteristic of 'fearing fire' was not so comfortable facing his attack.

On the chest of the mummy lord, some of the strange and evil cloth strips were ignited and completely divided into two sections. There were also scorched marks on the rotting flesh as black as hard iron. The scorching flames were preventing the surrounding wriggling and healing , Drops of yellowish-brown corpse oil stench liquid fell on the floor, corroding the stone bricks into black holes one by one.

"Roar!……"

The mummy lord roared in pain, and dark black gas permeated from its body, extinguishing the flame and covering the wound.

"Hehehe...Go to hell!..."

Immediately afterwards, the mummy lord locked on Brian with vicious eyes. His dilapidated and decayed body was wrapped in dark, cold, desperate negative energy and wind and sand. It accelerated suddenly and turned into a sandstorm with a diameter of about two meters, roaring towards Brian. swept past.

This is the second supernatural ability of the mummy lord. By channeling negative energy, it turns into a whirlwind with dust and flying sand that is enough to blind people, and rushes towards those who have not yet staggered from it. Enemies who come back to their senses in the rhythm.

As a time traveler, Brian has long known the mummy lord's three axes, so he naturally responded calmly and calmly.

I saw his body suspended in the air, easily dodging the mummy lord's attack like a stroll in the garden.

After dodging the attack, he did not fight back immediately, but stared at the mummy lord solemnly.

In fact, mummy lords can not only speak, but also have an IQ no lower than normal people. Although they usually don't use this skill themselves, they are indeed regarded as a database of lost knowledge for future generations of creators. Person records review.

Sometimes, some powerful spellcasters even take the mummy away and isolate it as their temporary advisor.

Brian naturally didn't have such a special hobby, he just wanted to concentrate and let himself concentrate on defending against the mummy's third attack.

"Hehehehe..."

Seeing that his two attacks failed, the mummy lord was still laughing coldly.

Harsh laughter echoed in the spacious hall, and in the flickering of the evil runes adorned on the mummy lord's decayed robe, it turned into a terrifying sound full of chaos, killing, hatred, pain and other strong negative feelings , suddenly erupted, making the air seem to be filled with waves of evil energy.

Blasphemy!

Brian once successfully carried the "blasphemy" cast by the incarnation of the demon prince Demogorgon himself. Although it was just a aftermath, with his current situation and the state of psychic gain added in advance, he can naturally carry it with confidence. attack.

This special power from the source of evil only made him tremble, and successfully counteracted this evil attack that was enough to scare most professionals below the legendary realm.

Seeing that neither of his two attacks had the expected effect, the mummy lord let out another cold laugh.

It held a black evil emblem hanging on its chest, causing it to emit dark and cold negative energy rays, which swished and scattered to the dark corner where the coffin was stored.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

All of a sudden, strange sounds came out one after another from the strange earthen pots placed in the corners and the alcoves made of excavated walls.

These jars are all carved from limestone or fired from clay, and the jars are etched with hieroglyphs with religious background.

The earthen jars exploded tremblingly, and howling incorporeal dead spirits, bound spirits, and resentful souls flew out of them.

At the same time, hundreds of undead creatures came out of the dark secret room, including ghouls, ghosts, wights, and even third-order demon soul corpses.

——"Mayoufu Micro Meteor!"

Brian took advantage of the moment when the mummy lord awakened the undead, and mercilessly released hundreds of fist-sized fireballs, drowning it in the gorgeous magical flames.

Then, he looked around calmly, and found that he was surrounded by these undead, and many floating phantoms showed terrifying faces, howling and screaming all over him.

But they were all isolated from the barrier by the evil protection spell he cast in advance.

Obviously, the mummy lord made by the dracolich has already prepared the materials needed for casting spells, and the entire hall has already hidden the souls and corpses needed to make undead creatures in crocks and sarcophagi.

That's why he doesn't want to break into the lairs of legendary liches that have lived for thousands of years.

In his memory, many adventurers, even legendary teams, were submerged in the wave of undead creatures without even seeing the face of the Lich.

A fully-organized lich lair is comparable to the high-level wizard towers built by legendary wizards, such as the tomb of the wizard of Netheril, the old Laroch, and the city of Eleontor in Iolum. It is an existence that makes adventurers feel desperate.

——"A Finger of Death!"

At this moment, in the billowing smoke produced by the bolide explosion, a crimson ray condensed into shape, wrapped in a murderous and deadly negative energy atmosphere, and galloped towards Brian.

He didn't need to think about it to know that it was released by the undead mummy lord.

Thinking that the spell bestowed on him by the Sphinx has not yet disappeared, he did not dodge or dodge, allowing this fatal attack to hit his body.

Then, Brian took out his staff and activated the spell inside.

—— "Advanced Pyroblast!"

A raging flame gushed out from his body like a raging wind, sweeping all the ghosts, bound spirits and resentful souls around him and drowning them in the flames.

Amidst the clanging sounds, a large group of spirit creatures evaporated by the flames contributed a gift package of soul crystals to him.

Brian quickly glanced at the undead creatures on the ground, and calmly activated the "Star Contract" on the 'Bright Evening Star' ring.

Accompanied by the bright light flowing from the platinum ring, a turbulent heat wave swept away from the dusty ground, turning into miniature sand swirls, and the summoning circle flashing dark red light quickly emerged.

A burly figure, five meters high, burning raging flames all over its body, seemed to be a fire element creature made of lava appearing in the group of undead creatures.

A group of ghouls who couldn't dodge were immediately ignited by the flames burning around the fire element, and turned into ashes in a hoarse and low-pitched wail.

Two bright blue flame pupils flickered on the fuzzy face of the large fire elemental, and it danced its two flame arms flickering, and let out an indistinct roar:
"Let the flames purify all of this!"

Its sonorous voice is like a blast of flames.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

Suddenly, fireballs the size of washbasins fell into the group of hundreds of undead creatures summoned by the mummy lord, causing them to fall into a sea of ​​death.

Seeing the fiery figure of the fire element alone, Brian nodded in satisfaction.

At first, he thought that the fire element creature summoned by this ancient ring was just an ordinary fire element in the elemental plane.

To his surprise, when he tried it for the first time, he found that the "star contract" summoned a group of fire elements with the level of warlocks, which undoubtedly greatly improved their combat capabilities.

Just like the large fire elemental he summoned with a challenge level of around level 10, in addition to its own igniting characteristics, it also has the spellcasting ability of the fire element.

Seeing this large fire elemental tormenting the group of undead creatures like bullying children, Brian immediately fixed his gaze on the gradually dissipating richness.

Because not only did he not feel the death of the mummy lord, but he also sensed the energy fluctuations hidden in the smoke through his keen sense of magic.

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, there was a dense flapping of wings, and hundreds of thumb-sized ferocious locusts, with sharp mouthparts, swept towards Brian overwhelmingly.

Brian instantly recognized the five-ring spell "Plague Swarm" of the conjuration school, and recalled countless ways to easily resist it in his mind.

He stood in place with a calm expression, waved the staff in his hand, and used the metamagic specialty "Instant Spell" to guide the spells he needed to release through the staff.

——"Six-ring spell: Domain of Thunder!"

Without any warning or warning, at the moment when the locust swarm was about to overwhelm Brian, a deafening thunder exploded, like a bomb falling into the swarm, instantly shattering the surrounding air into a frantic sonic energy explosion. area.

The moment countless locusts entered the area like moths filling the fire, they were shattered by the violent sound waves.

——"The Star of Avandor!"

——"Silver Starlight!"

Brian ignored the swarm of locusts. With a finger of his staff, he drove more than a dozen shining meteors towards the mummy lord hiding in the dissipating smoke.

Scoured by Ma Youfu's micro-meteorite, its body was riddled with holes and dilapidated, and the strange dark yellow cloth strips all over its body were also burned, revealing its shriveled body and wisps of disgusting stench.

Seeing Brian's attack, the mummy lord's evil blood-red eyes flashed fear, and it screamed to prop up a dark shield transformed from negative energy for itself.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

However, what made it desperate was that its barrier shattered like fragile glass in front of the meteor full of divine energy.

——"Sixth-level ability: energy barrage!"

Bryan concentrated, his cold eyes locked on the body of the mummy lord, and he used his thoughts to control the astral energy permeating the material world that permeated the void, and only he himself could see it, transforming it into churning flames and silver-white lightning , Bone-piercing frost, and soul-shaking sound waves all erupted on the body of the mummy lord.

"boom!"

With a thunderous bang, the terrifying shock wave drowned the mummy lord in berserk energy.

"Target is dead!"

"Extracting soul energy..."

"Acquired experience points: 25000 points!"

…………

Seeing that the enemy was finally eliminated by himself, Brian let out a sigh of relief.

He waved his hand to let the fire element that had already ended the battle return to his own plane, and took advantage of Helisite's gap before returning from the astral world, and walked towards the mountain of treasures.
