Path of The Dragonborn
Vol 2 Chapter 542: Temple of Cold Fall·
There was a clear cracking sound of the coffin, like a raindrop slap on Bernardo's attitude of underestimating himself.
These tomb guardians who have slept for several epochs need to be dispatched in person, and the experience of attacking intruders may be rare. Even if the Imperial Legion and Stormcloak rebels are now at war sending their elite troops into this catacomb, they may not be able to reap any benefits from the hundreds of ghouls.
Although the ghoul lord vanished under the brilliance of the healing scroll like a nemesis, the ghouls who also had an unknown light in their eyes were not as easy as the group of bandits that had just been cleaned up.
They have long lost their ability to think as humans, and it is impossible to use mental deterrence to deter them. They can only face their attacks like tides.
There are no traces of blood that symbolizes the source of life in their shriveled corpses, and even the internal organs have long been turned into small masses under the effect of the ancient Nord tomb medicine that they poured and smeared when they were dying. All effects are lost. Therefore, no matter what toxin it is, there is no way to easily cut off them connected by ancient magic. Regardless of the strange thing, the Ancient Nords' strong patience in resisting the cold is retained, and the use of frost spells is very low on these ghouls.
Regardless, this also means--
"Fire wall!" In the center of the room where Lord Ghoul is located, there is a high ground built up by stones. In the middle of the high ground, the huge and gorgeous coffin that has been broken is undoubtedly the last before the Lord Ghoul completely disappeared. Home.
Generally speaking, to be buried in such a location, there must be various burial objects beside him.
In the past few epochs, Hanluo Temple has never been visited by tomb robbers. And among them, there must be a master who takes away a lot of treasure without disturbing the ghouls.
But even so, the tomb of the ghoul lord in the center of the coffin seems to be very few bold thieves who risk losing a hand in an instant.
Therefore, when Bernardo heard the bursting sound of the ghouls' coffins, he instinctively leaned towards the high ground, and then searched everywhere in the tomb full of linen shrouds and dried wooden slats. He sighed almost instinctively when he saw a small object that was shining green.
This light and color, this rune-without a doubt, this is a high-level destruction magic enchantment ring.
The rune above is more complicated-but it has at least been in the hands of some Master Guild masters. The unique rune marks of the wizards of Winterhold are based on the earliest logo of the Magic Association.
Breaking into the depths of this bunker alone, under normal circumstances, what should such an adventurer pay most attention to? There is no doubt that it is supplies.
Whether it is dry food to satisfy your hunger, or a weapon that is sharp enough and in good condition, or a solid armor that can block all kinds of dangers.
In other cases, adventurers should also prepare enough potions—whether it is common anti-disease potions or various potions that can exert various wonderful effects in a short time.
All these supplies are prepared for the various dangers encountered in long-term combat.
As a student who graduated with high scores in all majors, which is rare in the recent years of Winterhold Magic Academy, Bernardo has his own set of unique insights in all aspects of casting spells. But after all, he is not a magic bottle with unlimited magic power.
Faced with such a large number of ghouls, it is difficult to drink potions to replenish energy at any time if you are alone. What's more, as the ghouls are getting closer and closer, there is no suitable environment around.
Therefore-I was lucky enough to be able to find such an enchanting ring in the tomb of the Lord Ghoul Lord Nord, which can reduce the loss of mana during casting and increase the speed of chanting.
Flames radiating heat were sprayed onto the ground. On the cold and damp rock, these flames did not disappear after leaving only a few traces of scorching black—but they continued to burn on the ground.
The scarlet fire snake licked everything around greedily, and things like flames and sunlight made even ghouls instinctively fearful after death.
Bernardo controlled his spells accurately, emitting the same flames at key locations between the high grounds and some dense places in the hall. As an expert-level spell, this kind of continuous burning wall of flames has a huge loss of magic power. Even if you are a good spellcaster and have an enchanting ring that looks pretty good, you quickly start to feel It's the loss of magic.
Dozens of ghouls have been ablated under the power of magical energy, and they are scorched. More ghouls retreated slowly because of their instinctive fear of flames, and gradually gathered together under Bernardo's conscious guidance.
However, just when everything was getting better-a sharp pain from the left arm interrupted Bernardo's spellcasting.
"Cut..." Pulling out the culprit that caused the pain-a cluster of arrows shot by the ghoul-Bernardo didn't frown, stopped the other spellcasting hand, and then the silver-white light Began to cover his body. Taking advantage of the gap in the healing spell, he quickly slammed **** into the flesh, and cut out the arrow embedded in the flesh in a way that would be stunned if there were bystanders.
——By the way, Bernardo was basically unresponsive after being shot by an arrow just now, but was interrupted by the magical chanting; and this time, pulling the arrow with his bare hands made him grin in pain.
"Forget that there are archers in these ghouls..." Through the blazing flames, Bernardo squinted his eyes and looked over—a dozen ghouls holding the Longbow of Ancient Nord were using it to corrode. With only bones in his arms, he raised his bow and arrow with difficulty and aimed at himself.
Their accuracy is very poor, and the bows they shoot are not powerful. This is why he hadn't noticed these ghouls just now-it seemed that it was just an accident just now.
It's just that because of this——
"The appearance of the archer means..."
——Their people... just a little bit?
As the ghouls are not well-trained and tactical soldiers, but undead creatures that act almost exclusively on instinct-so they will only faithfully execute the last orders they were given during their lifetime.
In the coffin are buried ghouls with sharp blades, battle axes, and great swords. Naturally, they will be like predatory beasts, rushing to the enemy desperately, and only the healing spells and flames can stop them.
And the ghouls who were sleeping with cold bows and arrows beside them-just like real archers, harass themselves from a distance.
So when the battle is going on for a while-if there is an archer ghoul in his field of vision-
It means that there will be no more ghouls coming to support.
Bernardo saw this with a triumphant smile.
