The Death List Novel - Chapter 421
Chapter 421 Pale Dense Forest
Qin Lun turned his head and looked around. The team that had broken through to the valley had Idrea as the arrow. The female knight was Lauvita’s paladin, fearless and fearless on the battlefield. She brandished the giant double-edged axe in her hand like a windmill. Whether it was a skeleton or a zombie, as long as they touched the axe, they would be like straw flying in the wind.
The others were stunned. They really didn’t know what kind of family this girl came from. Not only did he possess such a non-mainstream family heirloom, he also possessed unparalleled strange strength, comparable to a female wargod.
On Idrea’s right was Philip. The hot-tempered mage seemed to want to vent all his frustration on the undead’s head. He clenched his staff tightly in one hand and poured a glass bottle of magic potion into his mouth at any time, casting magic at any cost.
The apostle’s profession was different from that of a storyline mage like Angelo. Philip’s magic skills weren’t very abundant. Right now, he was only using fireball, a single attack spell. However, his casting speed was unusually fast.
Fireballs formed one after another from the top of the staff. Almost as soon as the first one was launched, the second one took shape again. It could be called instant firing. If Angelo could still see this, his eyes would probably fall off.
Even if the mages of Toril World didn’t communicate with the magic web and only used their magic power to create magic, they wouldn’t be able to cast magic at such a speed. Every time a mage constructed a spell, it would require a certain amount of buffer time. The faster the spell was cast, the greater the spiritual backlash would be.
Even a magician like Angelo, who was close to six rings, could not fire a fireball at this speed. After three or four shots, he had no choice but to stop and wait for his spiritual energy to calm down. How could he shoot like a machine gun?
On the left side of the female knight was Robin, the beautiful captain of the Lost Party. Robin’s combat profession was a Spirit Summoner. It was a rare profession that could take on almost any role in a guild.
Although this type of combat profession was a panacea, like Nicole’s divine masters, it was actually a very powerful apostolic profession. Spirit Summoners are a bit like a divine rod profession in the Huaxia region of the Earth Federation-“Divine Strike.” It was through a mysterious ritual that he invited the divine body to possess the power of the divine spirit.
Of course, there was a difference between summoning a Spirit Master and “Divine Strike”. The one summoning a Spirit Master was not a God, but a Heroic Spirit. This kind of hero needed to be personally captured by a Spirit Master and signed a contract with him to obtain the power of a hero.
A hero could be a god, or any soul that possessed the’power ‘of life. This “power” not only referred to combat strength, but also included knowledge and wisdom.
Behind Heroic Spirit, Robin had the power of a Heroic Spirit. The Beautiful Guild Leader belonged to the same type of combat profession as the heroic spirit. It sounded incredibly powerful, but in practice, it was also very restrictive.
First of all, a strong and suitable hero was hard to find, just like Qin Lun had no choice but to seek help from the Abyss Devils if he wanted a strong and suitable summoner. In addition, most spirits who became heroes had great persistence. Only by satisfying their strange requirements could a Spirit Summoner successfully sign the contract.
Apart from the unique characteristics of the heroes themselves, as Spirit Summoners, they must also study the heroes who signed the contract. Only by understanding their laws of power could Spirit Summoners truly possess their power. Otherwise, they would be empty shells. That was why Robin always looked like an intellectual beauty.
It was because she was knowledgeable that she developed this temperament over time.
Unlike summoned items, the heroic spirits a Spirit Summoner could possess were theoretically infinite. However, in battle, only one hero could be summoned. This was also very understandable. Even though Qin Lun had two personalities, he could only come out one. Otherwise, he would be a madman.
Spirit Summoners were the same as summoners. They were weak at the early stage and strong at the late stage, so they needed a lot of resources from the guild to train them.
However, Spirit Summoners were stronger than ordinary Summoners because their heroic spirits allowed their bodies to directly possess battle power. Martial artists, gunmen, mages, assassins … could simulate and change their attributes, and could even transform into top scientists in certain disciplines.
However, Spirit Summoners also had a flaw that summoners did not have. It could be said that they were irreparable weaknesses, and low-level Spirit Summoners were unable to summon at a specific point. In other words, when they were summoning spirits, they were unable to designate a hero to participate in the battle. They could only randomly summon spirits within a certain range.
Robin now had a dozen or so heroes. At the first rank, she could only summon all the heroes at random. If he summoned a heroic spirit that had no fighting strength, no intelligence, and no knowledge in battle, the result would be imaginable.
Now that she had reached Second Grade, she was able to narrow down her summoning range and summon a portion of the heroes. The accuracy rate was a little higher. Only when she reached a higher level, or even a legendary apostle, could she truly designate a hero to fight.
It was just that once she reached a high rank or even a legendary profession, it would be even harder for her to find a suitable hero. It would be several times harder for her to increase her combat strength than a martial artist like Kelly.
Robin had summoned an inappropriate hero. She wanted to summon an attack-type hero magician, or an Aura Priest, but she could only helplessly see a sword in her hand …
The sword spirit of the demonic sword Apophis! Yes, the heroic spirit that summoned the Spirit Master Contract did not only refer to the soul of the creature, but also the soul of the artifact. Of course, the artifact soul was also a type of soul.
As a result, Robin was now a ghost swordsman. She took out a large sword from her storage space that was no less powerful than Idrya’s double-edged axe and slashed through the group of undead. Apart from the disappointed members, the others were accustomed to the usually gentle and elegant appearance of the Beautiful Guild Leader. Now, they were all dumbfounded and their glasses were broken to the ground.
This was also the reason why Robin didn’t usually make a move. After summoning a spirit, the cooldown time of the Spirit Summoner was very long, so he couldn’t summon another spirit for a short period of time. Logically speaking, a Ghost Swordsman with dual cultivation in both magic and martial arts would be of great help to the current situation.
The problem was that the ghost swordsman’s ghost power was also a great nourishment to the undead. Feeling the ghost power on Robin’s body, these undead immediately surged towards Robin instinctively. Although their formation was disrupted, it also made the breakthrough team feel extremely exhausted.
Originally, Robin’s position was more suitable for Elistine. However, due to Qin Lun’s obstruction, the elven druid could only stay by his side and Milleras’ side, unable to undertake the charge mission, leaving the others helpless.
“Qin Lun, I know you like Elistine very much, but don’t forget that you are an apostle” Philip’s anxious voice came from Qin Lun’s communication channel.
“What do you want to say?” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he asked indifferently.
“The situation is urgent now. It’s also good to have a little more strength. As long as we can rush out, it’s completely acceptable to lose a Elistine!” Philip was a little embarrassed. After all, Elistine had died with them for so long that he couldn’t say that he didn’t have any feelings for them.
In fact, in terms of strength, Elistine was more powerful than anyone else on the team. However, this was the difference between the storyline characters and the apostles. The apostles were Law Bodies, and they could still recover quickly from serious injuries. If Elistine was injured, he would not be able to recover in a short period of time. With so many undead surrounding him, he could only die.
“I didn’t leave Elistine behind to make her cannon fodder, but to make her do something more important!” ‘”Philip, why do you think there are so many huge rocks in this valley?” Qin Lun smiled more warmly and said softly to Philip, “Why do you think there are so many huge rocks in this valley?”
Philip frowned slightly and his eyes lit up. “It’s very important that the cliffs of the valley are weathered. As time goes on, there will naturally be landslides. What’s so strange about it? This valley is so unfrequented that no one clears it … Wait, you mean we can …” Philip’s eyes lit up as he said, “I can try bombarding the sides of the valley!”
“That would be too blind. The chances of creating a landslide would not be too great.” Qin Lun smiled and said, “That’s why we need Elistine and Muk Tu. Even the toughest rocks can’t stop plants from growing. The elven druids are the best wood magicians.”
Seeing Philip happily communicating with Robin on the guild channel, Qin Lun curled his lips. If Philip hadn’t wanted to use his favourite druid as cannon fodder, he would have been happy to continue watching from the sidelines. To him, the middle of the adventure was more enjoyable than a good outcome.
…
Elistine transformed into a Gale Leopard and flew on the stone wall on the right side of the valley. His sharp claws grabbed the cliff and sent it flying. During each jump, some plant seeds would fall into the weathered cracks in the elven druid’s leopard mouth.
“Elistine, are you ready?” Robin asked sweatily. After Philip’s suggestion, the crowd no longer rushed forward crazily. Instead, they gathered together and leaned against the cliff on the left to defend against the undead’s attacks.
As a result, the chances of everyone getting injured were temporarily reduced, but the pressure on defense was greater. Especially Robin himself. Due to the temptation of ghost power, the undead’s first target was her.
Elistine finally jumped down from the cliff and landed in the middle of the crowd. As soon as he turned into a human form, he closed his eyes, revealing a holy and solemn expression on his face.
“Ha ~ Ah ~ ~ ~” Surprisingly, the elven druid did not cast magic immediately. Instead, he raised his neck and sang loudly. The melodious voice echoed in the valley like a clear spring.
“Song of the Elves!” Milleras’ expression changed. He turned to look at Qin Lun angrily, “What do you want her to do?”
“I didn’t expect that even Elistine would be unable to withstand this magic. He needed the amplification of the Song of the Elves!” Qin Lun’s expression was uncertain. He had obtained the ancient inheritance of the Moon Fairy, so he naturally knew what Elistine was doing.
“Fairies of plants, please listen to the Son of Nature’s summons and turn this piece of waste land into a forest. Dust returns to dust, soil returns to earth, allowing the living to multiply, allowing the dead to rest in peace!” Elistine raised his hand to the sky, his face flushed abnormally, “God of the Forest, Reliphine, please give your people divine power. Come out–the pale forest!”
As Elistine’s words fell, the elven druid’s silver hair flew up. Suddenly, a muffled rumble came from the cliff where she had just sprinkled the seeds of plants.
Countless thick vines and leaves burst out from the ground. These plants, which were supposed to represent green life, were now strangely pale white, like tombstones of death.
The cracked rocks fell from the cliff like a rainstorm. Waves of dust rose from the ground. Apart from the few undead closest to Qin Lun and the others, most of the undead crowded in the middle and right sides of the valley were buried in rubble.
Although this was not enough to completely kill these undead, it would no longer be able to threaten Qin Lun and the others in a short period of time.
“Charge over!” Robin was overjoyed, leading everyone to rush forward, knocking away the small number of enemies blocking the way, leading them to rush over the blockade of the undead.
Qin Lun’s expression was cold as he hugged the unconscious Elistine and followed closely behind the group. Originally, he only wanted the elven druid to cast a mid-level magic similar to the Thorn spell, but he didn’t expect Elistine to cast a high-level magic that was close to Legendary rank in order to achieve his goal.
Looking back at the “pale white forest” that covered the right side of the valley and had almost added a layer of dome to the valley, he narrowed his eyes slightly and didn’t have the slightest bit of good mood to watch.
