Heart of the Castle

Chapter 451 The ruins of the clock tower, the opportunity for victory

What Ifrit, the Marquess of the Balrog, never had the chance to figure out happened a few minutes ago, after Levi, Mr. Dish, and the Cursed Black Sun entered the Great Clock Tower.The building was severely damaged due to the magic backlash that occurred when the Death Moon Magic Orb was destroyed. Although the three floors close to the ground had not collapsed yet, the damage to the load-bearing structure of the building was very serious, and it was impossible to go up the stairs full of cracks. the climb.

"This is here, the only chance to eliminate the threat of the demon army." Mr. Dish frowned and looked around, "The damage here is really serious, Black Sun, I hope your hands and feet can be lighter next time, I don't know what to lose After so many auxiliary magic patterns, how powerful can this magic be?"

"Old Dish, you can't blame me for this." Cursed World Heishi shrugged and said, "When you demolished the building, you didn't say that you needed to use it. At that time, I was afraid that the destruction would not be complete enough, so I used up all the resources before I left. I slashed with all my strength several times."

"I really can't blame you, Black Sun." Mr. Dish nodded and admitted, but when he saw the broken appearance of the undead runes on the wall, he couldn't help complaining a few more words, "Look, it's broken here, here It’s over too, are you a knight or a demolition boss? You’re very skilled in forced demolition.”

The old magician babbled while checking, until the Cursed World and Black Sun glared at him viciously, and then Mr. Dish sighed and said, "Let's try it, anyway, I almost wiped out the Winged Demons last night. Even in the worst-case scenario, we can use the soaring magic to get out of here."

Levi didn't understand Mr. Dish's meaning from the beginning to the end. Seeing the old magician start to use the wooden carving stick to find the location, he couldn't help asking curiously. "Mr. Dish, what are you looking for?"

"The traces left by the deceased can save me a lot of time spent on calculations." Mr. Dish replied without raising his head.

"Calculation?" Li Wei was even more confused by this answer, "What calculation are you talking about? Haven't we found a place where we can eliminate the threat of the demon army once and for all?" Then he added in a low voice, "Although I still don't understand what this crumbling building can be used for."

"I didn't want to use this method at first, so I let the black sun destroy the Death Moon Magic Orb. But because the demon army came too fast, the magic power of the undead gathered underground in this city has not completely dissipated, so I can send it again Useful..." Mr. Dish paused suddenly, "Okay, here it is, I'll make a mark." He tapped the ground with a wooden carving stick a few times, leaving a pale spot of light each time, six The light spots just formed a small six-pointed star array.

"It saves a lot of effort. If I recalculate the direction of the land veins here and gather the magic power of the undead, I'm afraid it will take at least a day or two with my ability." Mr. Dish announced with satisfaction, and then turned to the still confused lion. Lord Eagle said, "My lord, I want to take something out of the heart of the castle."

"Of course I can, but I don't even have any mana left, and I've spent all of it on healing." Levi spread his hands and replied, "Mr. Dish, please take it yourself."

Mr. Dish's mana is obviously running low, but for a portal like him, that little consumption is nothing.As his fingers flicked lightly, a bluish-white light swelled up, forming an oval portal shape.Mr. Dish stretched half of his body in, and soon dragged something to straighten his waist, but just when his hands were still in the light of the portal, the expression of the old magician suddenly changed a little.

"Hey, why did you follow here?" Mr. Dish's tone seemed rather helpless.

"I'm really bored. People in the city are so rigid. You finally got a talking chair, and you still have to use it." A Li Wei replied in a familiar voice.

"Not now, it's very dangerous to be surrounded by an army of demons," Mr. Dish said.

"I'll just come out for a while." Then a translucent female head poked out from the bluish-white light, her appearance can be called youthful and pretty, her slender hair fluttered in the air like wisps of blue smoke .She first looked around, and after seeing Li Wei and Cursed World Black Sun, she immediately showed a pleasant smile, "Li Wei, and Lord Ston Knight, you are all here."

"Li, Miss Lisa?" Li Wei was taken aback. Miss Lisa, who has transformed into a shadow banshee, has a negative energy physique and cannot be active outside for a long time, so she usually hides in the castle. In a small negative energy area specially created by the heart for her.Li Wei also went to chat with her a few days in his spare time, but since the disaster came again, due to a series of things that happened, he never went there again. "There's been a lot going on these days, how are you?" the young griffin lord asked her.

"It's okay, but I can't leave the castle, it's a bit boring." Miss Lisa replied, while continuing to look around curiously.Before the Great Bell Tower was damaged, it might be regarded as a tourist attraction, but at present, all the sights are messy sword marks and broken stones, which made Miss Lisa's eyes show a slightly disappointed look.

"Did you see that? Miss Lisa, this place is in ruins. There is nothing to see here. And the devil may attack at any time. To be safe, you'd better go back to the heart of the castle." Mr. Dish persuaded the little banshee again.

"However, Lord Li Wei and Knight Ston will protect me, so it's safe here, right?" Miss Lisa said a little unconvinced.

"Yes, Lord Ston and I will protect Miss Lisa." Levi puffed up his chest and said firmly.The little banshee immediately beamed with joy, and at the same time her entire body floated out of the portal.

Mr. Dish heaved a long sigh, that kind of helpless expression was just like a grandfather who was entangled by his granddaughter to the point of helplessness. "Okay, but you have to be more careful yourself." After finishing speaking, he forcefully dragged a horrible chair made of hundreds of human heads out of the portal.Curse World Hei Ri had already guessed what it was, and there was no strange expression on his face, but Li Weike was shocked when he saw this thing for the first time, and almost pulled out the knight sword.

"Supreme Father God, what kind of blasphemy is this?"

"Have you never seen a chair?" the skull in the middle of the back of the Wailing Throne said angrily.Except for the head that originally belonged to the Lich is still active, the other heads that make up the throne have fallen into a state similar to dormancy, their expressions have become calm and serene, and the corners of their eyes and mouth are no longer oozing black dirty blood .

Li Wei turned a deaf ear to the skeleton's words. In fact, the young griffin lord had never talked to a chair before, so he deliberately avoided the question. "Mr. Dish, this evil thing should be a product of undead magic, right? How could it appear in the heart of the castle?"

"It's a product of undead magic." Mr. Dish nodded and said, "This is what was left by a lich killed by the black sun when the natural disaster and plague were solved. It is not a good thing to put it outside. And Since the above souls have been tortured for too long, they have basically lost all their personality and turned into vicious and vicious resentful souls. Purification or salvation directly is a dead end for them. So we can only gradually extract this dark alchemy item energy, and then wait for those souls to restore themselves."

Curse World Hei Ri shrugged and added, "Li Wei, in fact, you are much better now when you see this chair. At the beginning, these heads were vomiting blood and howling all the time, which was really disturbing. Chaos, how did this guy endure it?"

"That's the way to call it the Wailing Throne, and now it's called the Sleeping Throne at best!" The skull in the middle of the back of the Wailing Throne retorted sarcastically. "The power of this legendary magic item now may not be half of what it was when it was not formed. You group of hard-headed righteous people are really reckless!"

"Anyway, using this thing as the key to restart the natural disaster and plague trap is enough power." Mr. Dish waved his hand, and the Wailing Throne, which had been controlled by the Heart of the Castle, flew to the sky marked by the six-pointed star array , and then fell steadily.

"Why, are you righteous people going to use such vicious magic as natural disasters and plagues?" Although the Wailing Throne has been controlled, it is obvious that the mouth of the skull in the center of the back has not been controlled, with a strong mouth. A mocking voice sounded, "Should I just start the magic ritual of natural disasters and plagues? If I, an expert in dark alchemy and a great magister who specializes in undead magic, do it myself, the chance of success is very sure! The price is also very simple, as long as you let me go, I can swear to Ku Ximu that I will never step into your territory again, nor will I form hatred with other lords in the northern border."

"Is the dark alchemy expert and the great magister of the undead really great?" Mr. Dish knocked on the wall with a wooden carving stick, and simply repaired the destroyed undead runes, while throwing the words contemptuously, "Don't forget, the person who combined you with this dark alchemy item is standing in front of you right now."

The skeleton paused for half a minute. Although there were no muscles on its face, Li Wei clearly read the expression of shock and horror from it.When the skeleton spoke again, all the arrogance and mocking attitude disappeared.

"Are you a master of dark alchemy? No, how could the master use only a handful of alchemy powder to complete such advanced alchemy in a thick-skinned can with no foundation. But... Ku Xi is my god, since more than 100 years ago After the last alchemy master, Nutari Dead Moon, passed away, there has never been another alchemy master on the mainland!"

"A thick-skinned can with no basis?" Cursed World Black Sun took a step forward very dissatisfied, but Mr. Dish immediately stopped him, "Don't be impatient, Black Sun." He pointed to the wall and said , "This magic circle has been repaired. I guarantee that when the ceremony starts, Mr. Skull will not feel very comfortable."

"Master Dish, can you not break this Mr. Skull?" Miss Lisa asked hesitantly, "He is the only person I can chat with in the heart of the castle. The other Mr. Heads on the chair Although we can talk for a while, but they both prefer to sleep."

"Don't worry, it's just a simple undead magic trap. The head of the Grand Lich is not broken that easily." Mr. Dish straightened up, looking at the results of his work with satisfaction, "The preparations are complete. , now you can activate this magic at any time." Then he turned around and explained to Li Wei and others,
"Wait a while when the magic is activated, Li Wei, you step back a little bit, and then activate your fighting spirit to protect yourself. The magic of natural disasters and plagues has no good effect on the living...Hey, Miss Lisa, you don't have to dodge , the effect of this magic is strengthening for the undead."

The Ghost Banshee floated back with some embarrassment, but judging from her posture, as long as there was any abnormality when the magic was activated, Miss Lisa would definitely float behind Li Wei at the fastest speed.

At this time, there was a demon-toned singing sound from outside the big clock tower. The voice did not come from the mouth of a certain demon, but more than a dozen abyss demons sang evil spells praising the darkness at the same time. These spells will be strong. Fire elements gathered from all directions, forming a cloud of flames tens of meters outside the bell tower.Although the devil's magic hadn't been activated yet, the scorching sensation had already penetrated the wall of the clock tower, and the dark red light also penetrated through the gap, making Miss Lisa unable to help but let out a low moan.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Lisa, I forgot that the fire element is very harmful to your body. True red, call, answer, fire thaumaturgy!" Mr. Dish shook his finger twice, and a red light came from his finger The sharp point shot out and wrapped around Miss Lisa's body. As the red light penetrated into her body, the painful expression on Miss Lisa's face gradually disappeared.

"It's scary, Master Dish, what happened outside?" Miss Lisa immediately hid beside Li Wei, which is the farthest away from the flame cloud, which can give the little banshee a false sense of security.

Mr. Dish listened quietly for a few seconds, with a faint disdain on his face, "It's an old trick again. I used it once when I blasted open the city gate. The innate magic of the abyss refining demon - continuous fireball, and then from there The Marquis of the Balrog used his ability to control the fire element to strengthen it, forming an attack power similar to the top magic - Meteor Fire Rain. Although the coverage area is not large, there is no problem in destroying this big clock tower."

"Mr. Dish, isn't this place becoming very dangerous?" Levi frowned and said. "The lethality of fireball magic is not just high temperature. The fire bath thaumaturgy can't stop the damage caused by the explosion, right?"

"That's right, you're a quick learner." Mr. Dish replied with a smile, "These demons made a fatal mistake. The meteor fire shower is of course very powerful, but to destroy this half-collapsed building, using a continuous fireball That's enough. The Balrog Marquis may have hoped to erase this building and us from this world. Unfortunately, his choice was wrong. The last chance to prevent the natural disaster and plague from coming again has passed through his fingers. Slip away!" Mr. Dish said mockingly, while reaching out to the Wailing Throne.

"Wait a minute, wait a moment!" Seeing that Mr. Dish was about to restart the natural disaster and plague magic, Strath, the Lord of Bones who had been integrated with the Wailing Throne, finally panicked.He is very clear about the consequences of doing so. Strictly speaking, the magic of natural disasters and plagues has broken through the limitations of top-level magic, and belongs to the peak magic that only legendary magicians can successfully cast.Although Strass is listed as one of the masters of the dead, he is still far away from the legendary magician. It is said that even among the seven highest elders of the council of the dead, there is no legendary magician. The existence of magicians.

Being able to push the natural disaster and plague magic with the power of the great magister, Strath, the Lord of Bones, used the huge undead magic circle all over the city to share the pressure, and relied on the legendary magic item Death Moon Magic Orb to purify his undead magic power. It barely reached the standard for launching this peak magic.However, now that the undead magic array has been completely destroyed, and the Death Moon Magic Orb has been smashed to pieces under the iron giant sword of the stars, it is impossible to activate the natural disaster and plague magic. Forcibly activating it will only cause a terrible magic backlash.

Strath is not worried about the safety of these humans, but he is very worried about himself as the core of magic. His consciousness has finally condensed on the Wailing Throne. If he is torn apart again, Strath will not even Be sure to wake up again.

"This great magister, it is impossible for you to succeed in doing this." The Lord of Bones screamed hastily, "You don't have the Death Moon Magic Orb, you don't have the magic circle of the undead, and you don't have enough pure undead magic power. Activation will trigger a strong magical backlash, and everything here will be blown to the sky."

The pure emerald-green undead mana poured out from Mr. Dish's fingers. The skin on the surface of his hands quickly aged and shriveled, and then, together with the muscles, turned into little pale debris and peeled off.In just a few heartbeat intervals, all the muscles and tendons on Mr. Dish's hands have disappeared without a trace. What reveals the dark red robe sleeves is a pair of haggard and hard bone palms. magic.

"Are you talking about... this kind of power?" Mr. Dish looked at the Lord of Bones with a smile and said, the poor archlich was completely stunned, enough to squeeze a fist between the upper and lower jaws, almost moaning The voice came out with difficulty from the black hole's throat.

"Impossible, this is impossible, this kind of power, this kind of feeling? Kuxi is above... Are you... Which Lich King is here?"
