The Death List Novel - Chapter 435
Chapter 435 Twilight Intwa
“Are you going back to save them?” A voice that sounded like a lark came from behind Qin Lun.
The young man turned his head in shock and discovered that Les, who was carrying a big bow on his back, had actually followed him out at some unknown time. At this moment, she was staring at him with her big, dark eyes.
“You saw it just now!” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he asked expressionlessly.
“What did you see?” Les tilted her head and shook it blankly. “I came out of the corridor and saw you in a daze. You ran so fast just now and didn’t even say a word. You almost hit me with a big rock!”
“Why didn’t you stay with them?” Qin Lun fell silent for a while before asking.
“They are not apostles. Why should I stay with them?” The young girl puffed up her cheeks, her face full of surprise. She reached out her small hand to touch Qin Lun’s forehead and said, “You shouldn’t be stupid, right?”
“Pa!” Qin Lun expressionlessly patted off her little baby fat hands, turned around and walked in a certain direction, and said indifferently, “Since you’ve come out, quickly leave the tower, this place is very dangerous!”
“Hey, what about you?” Rice stood on tiptoe and waved at Qin Lun’s back.
“I still have something to do!” Qin Lun replied coldly.
“Tsk, as a man, don’t be so stingy. You must be hiding it from me and looking for treasures alone!” Les curled her lips and nodded fiercely, as if trying to convince herself, “I must follow you this time, so that you won’t give it to me!”
Qin Lun paused and turned to look at the elven girl with a strange gaze. He then shook his head and said coldly, “Whatever you want, but don’t interfere with my work!”
Les nodded her head with a smile. When she saw Qin Lun turn around, a mocking gaze suddenly flashed in her dumb big eyes. “Hehe, legendary twin guns-light and dark funeral … Sure enough, the fellows that Sister Kelly valued were so interesting, they actually changed their faces!”
“If I had told the truth just now, would I have been killed by him? Aiya, I’m so scared!” Les sniffled and patted her airport-like chest with a worried expression.
…
“Elistine, don’t hang in there. Use your divine abilities to support us!” Milleras shouted at the bear-shaped druid.
At this moment, the giant bear that had been sent flying by the Lich over and over again was covered in wounds. Its once bright and bright hair was condensed with countless blood clots, and its spots looked extremely miserable. Hearing Milleras’ shout, the giant bear’s body trembled slightly. It hesitated and turned its head. Its copper-bell-sized eyes were filled with tears.
“Go, that selfish bastard isn’t worth your sadness.” ‘”He thinks we’re dead, but I believe this is just a test from Goddess Lauvita. We’ll win, for sure!” Idria said calmly as she pressed her sweaty red bangs against Elistine’s forehead.
Idria’s confidence was actually well founded. After several rounds of battles, everyone discovered that the Lich had never stood up from the sarcophagus. Apparently, the sarcophagus was not only its resting place, but also seemed to have some restrictions on it.
Although he didn’t know why the Lich didn’t use magic and only relied on its shocking defensive power to take a passive beating, if this continued, it would be shot to death by Milleras sooner or later. Every arrow of the Sun Elf Prince would leave behind a layer of debris on the indestructible frost body.
After several failed attacks, Elistine finally woke up from his sadness. He dragged his wounded body behind him and began attaching sacred spells to the Lich.
“Natural healing!” Elistine endured the intense headache and cast a divine spell.
A ray of holy light appeared out of thin air and descended on the Lich. This divine technique that could normally give life to living creatures landed on the Lich, but it was like water dripping into a boiling pot of oil. A white smoke rose from the frosty body of the Lich. The Lich, who had not spoken since the beginning, let out an angry whistle.
In fact, the Natural Healing was only considered a low-level skill in druid healing divine arts. There were many healing divine arts that were more powerful than it, such as the [Glory of Life] that Elistine had once used on Qin Lun.
Unfortunately, Elistine’s current spiritual world had been devoured by the [Pale Forest], and there were very few divine spells that he could use, so he had already done his best.
“There it goes!” Milleras’ eyes lit up and he pondered for a moment before breaking a necklace he was wearing around his neck and throwing it at the elven druid. “Elistine, drink it and continue using the Healing Divine Art of Nature!”
“What’s inside?” Elistine lowered his head and looked at the necklace in his hand. The necklace consisted of a silver chain with complicated patterns and a small diamond-shaped crystal pendant. The crystal pendant was sparkling and translucent. There was a small silver lid on the top of the pendant. There was a dreamlike color flowing inside, as if it was a liquid.
“Sun Spring Water, although it has no effect on spell backlash, it can increase magic power and extend the restriction of divine spell positions in a short period of time, allowing you to use a few more natural healing spells.” Milleras explained briefly.
‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” After being struck by Milleras and Elistine, the Lich finally began to rage. The palm covered in frost suddenly exerted its strength, and it actually dug out a slap-sized piece of broken stone from the thick stone slab, causing everyone’s faces to turn pale when they saw it.
This was no ordinary stone. After thousands of years of sedimentation, these stone slabs were harder than steel. Even if he was struck by Idrya’s double-edged axe, he could only chop off some stone fragments. If this were to be grabbed onto them, it would definitely be a broken bone.
However, the Lich was completely unaware of his frightening actions. He raised his hand and threw the stone in his hand over. “Bang!” The friction between the stone and the air produced an explosive sound as it flew towards Milleras. It was simply like a huge rock thrown out by a stone ripper.
“Be careful!” Lorraine, who was nearby, suddenly charged forward and raised his axe in front of the Sun Fairy Prince.
“Bang!” The collision between the stone and the axe made a loud noise, sending the dwarf flying in an instant, rolling into a ball with Milleras behind him.
“Lorraine, how are you?” Al, no, the girl who should be called Emily now put aside her shyness and supported the young dwarf worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die!” Lorraine looked at the pale face of the axe that had been smashed into a dent. Sweat poured down his forehead. He lowered his head and glanced at his left arm that was hanging by his side. His arm was twisted and broken. It looked like there was more than one break, and now it looked like a swollen purple tri-bar.
“Here you go. Drink this and you’ll be fine!” Emily hesitated for a moment, took out a small flat pot from her bosom, unscrewed the lid of the bottle, and fed the liquid inside to the dwarf.
“What is this?” Lorraine felt a burst of warmth and exhaustion disappear from his body. Even the wound on his left arm did not seem to hurt so much. He looked at El in surprise, “Anything else? Here …”
“No, this is Misra’s gift. Only Misra’s voters can get it. My mother gave me this bottle of Water of Gift. That’s the only bottle!” Before Lorraine could finish speaking, Emily shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Idrea, come back and cover us!” Milleras stood up with a gray face, but he was not injured.
Idrea, who was at the front, saw the two’s miserable state. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and retreated. She stood beside Elistine with her huge double-edged axe. Judging from the current situation, it was better for her to concentrate on protecting Elistine and Milleras than rushing forward to fight the Lich. Right now, only these two elves could harm the Lich.
Milleras took a deep breath and drew his longbow. However, this time, he didn’t put on the iron arrow and the bowstring was empty.
“Bang!” As the bowstring lightly rang, a streak of lightning shot out. The Lich was shot without any reaction, shooting into its eyes that were flickering with soul flames. The head of the Lich covered in frost couldn’t help but flick backwards. Magical lightning jumped on its head and sizzled.
“Kakaka!” Perhaps this time, the magic arrow attack had really hurt the Lich. For the first time, a painful expression appeared on its face. Its half-seated body began to struggle violently, and the continuous sound of shattering could be heard from beneath it. The entire sarcophagus was covered in dense cracks, as if it was connected to the Lich’s body.
“Increase the attack!” Milleras was shocked. Although he did not know what this change represented, he instinctively sensed danger approaching. For a moment, Elistine’s divine arts and his magical arrows landed on the Lich one after another.
Idrea watched the Lich vigilantly to prevent it from erupting again and attacking Milleras and the others with stones. Even Lorraine knew that this battle had reached its most critical moment. He held onto his axe with one arm and stood side by side with the female knight.
Emily clenched her small fists nervously as she watched the battle anxiously. Amongst all of them, she was the only one who didn’t have the ability to fight. No matter how outstanding an Apprentice Magician was, there were only a few Tier 0 spells. The hands of mages, greasy spells, and the like were useless in such battles. They could not even touch a single hair of the Lich.
“Pengpeng!” The sarcophagus let out an overwhelming noise, and the rubble shot out like bullets. A few rubble shot towards the crowd, hitting Idrya and Lorraine’s axes until they were jingling. Fortunately, not all of the broken stones were aimed at Milleras and the others, otherwise, the two of them might not be able to survive in close combat.
After letting out a cheerful howl, the Lich finally stood up from the sarcophagus.
When the stones in the sarcophagus collapsed, the Lich in the sarcophagus revealed its full appearance, causing Milleras and the others to be dumbfounded. Now, they understood why the high-grade undead had been unable to get up before, as well as the source of the frost armor on the Lich’s body.
It turned out that the sarcophagus and the Lich were indeed one and the same, but there was also an indirect medium between them. The interior of the sarcophagus was like an ice crystal, sealing the Lich from the waist down in the sarcophagus.
Why was his lower body frozen? The reason for that was because the lower half of the Lich’s body was not a human body, but a horse. It was now a centaur. The centaurs weren’t lying flat in the sarcophagus, but bent down and knelt in the sarcophagus.
But now, it stood up. Although the horse’s hooves and knees were still covered with large chunks of frost, it looked incomparably stiff. But compared to before, it finally had the ability to move.
“Centaur? He was an elven druid before he died!” Elistine’s face turned pale and he exclaimed as he looked at this senior who had a deathly aura, a gray face, and a stale face, but sharp ears, and clearly had the characteristics of an elf.
“No wonder it hasn’t used magic all this time. It turns out that it can’t be used at all!” Idria said with an ugly expression.
The elven druids could use both elemental magic and divine spells, but the undead could no longer use the divine spells bestowed upon them by the elven gods.
As for magic, the elven magic of the Uviran era had its own system and did not rely on magic webs. The advantage was that there weren’t so many restrictions, but the disadvantage was that it required a high level of combat awareness. Moreover, this lich didn’t even have an independent soul, so it was obviously unable to cast such a spell. Even before he died, he passed away without even unlocking the Centaur Transformation Technique.
“I know who he is!” Faced with a familiar feeling, Milleras suddenly thought of something and cried out, “There’s a portrait of him in the library of Cormanso. He’s the last Uviron, Intwa Twilight of the Fourth Reich, the legendary druid!”
Thousands of years ago in the Great Druid, the eyes of the present Undead, Intevar Twilight, flickered with blazing flames. He elegantly stepped on the horse’s hooves and shook his body, as if he was adjusting his stiff steps. After taking a few small steps, the Lich Centaur sped up and pounced towards the crowd.
…
“Bang!” Idrea tossed it high into the air, and blood droplets scattered from the air like fountains. The legacy twin-blade axe that had been clenched tightly in her hand finally left her hand, and her body tumbled heavily to the ground like a broken sack.
After the centaur escaped, it was only a short moment before the crowd was scattered. Elistine and Lorraine were already injured, but Milleras’ small body was able to fight against the Lich for a while, allowing him to follow Idrya’s example and be killed in one round.
After the female knight fell to the ground with serious injuries, the team finally came to a dead end.
“Looks like I’m really going to die here!” Milleras calmly lowered his longbow and gave up on attacking the centaurs. He raised his head and looked at the obelisk not far ahead, a trace of regret and helplessness appearing on his face.
“Do you regret it? You could have escaped with that guy!” Idria was sent flying by the Lich and landed beside Milleras. The knight could not stand up even after holding on for two times. Even with the Lauvita believers’ endurance, she had reached her limit.
“No, even without the obelisk, I won’t leave you behind. The Cormanso Fairy Court wasn’t prepared to complete the Ancient Era’s Path in one go. To be able to reach this point, my mission has long since been exceeded.”
Milleras looked at Elistine, who was walking over, and Emily, who was supporting Lorraine, and smiled sincerely. “Dwarves never shirk their responsibilities. Lauvita’s followers yearn to challenge them. Elistine has her persistence, and our Sun Fairies also have our honor! It’s an honor to be able to fight alongside you, and to meet you!” 0
“Damn it, no one can go out and kick that bastard’s butt!” Idrea wiped the corners of her mouth and spat, her saliva covered in blood.
“Ferrari only made a rational choice. He has a mission. Perhaps he will bring the Ank Fairy back here in a few days!” Milleras looked at the sad Elistine and shook his head with a bitter smile. “I hope we won’t meet him again as undead.”
Seemingly sensing the emotions of the ants in front of him, the Lich Centaur wasn’t in a hurry to continue charging. Instead, it used its hooves to dig the ground and gracefully paced around the obelisk.
“Cha!” Suddenly, an inaudible noise came from the dome above the obelisk. A cloud of dust fell from the simulated starry sky at the top of the hall, scattering onto the obelisk and centaurs.
The centaur’s body stiffened as he angrily raised his head and watched the dome pacing back and forth anxiously.
“What happened to it?” Emily was the most careful and immediately noticed the unusual movements of the centaurs.
In fact, without Emily’s reminder, the cracking sounds coming from the top of the hall, as well as the expanding spider web cracks, had already attracted everyone’s attention.
“Damn it, we’ve all forgotten that the dome of this underground hall is obsidian!” Milleras stared blankly at the ceiling and suddenly rubbed his hands in frustration.
In fact, Milleras had originally stayed behind for the Obelisk of Uviron, but after discovering that things couldn’t be done, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of bringing everyone back. However, although the centaurs were unable to move at that time, the entrance to the passageway was also sealed off by ten thousand jin of giant rock, cutting off the path of retreat.
Milleras had tested the hardness of the surrounding stone walls and road-blocking stones, and the arrows could only shoot through half an inch, so it was not something that could be penetrated in a short period of time. Since then, no one had any intention of escaping.
However, none of them had thought that the dome of the underground hall was not made of natural rock, but of obsidian. Obsidian was also a kind of rock with high hardness, and it was rich in magic elements. It was often used to make magic tools.
However, compared to ordinary underground rock formations, it has a distinctive feature. Because it was rich in lively magical elements, it was very fragile. Once it received a heavy blow that it could not withstand, it would shatter a large area.
The iron arrow of Milleras and the double-edged axes of Idrya and Lorraine were capable of piercing through it. Although the underground hall was dozens of meters tall, Elistine still had the stamina to transform into a giant eagle at that time. He had the ability to lift Idrea or Lorraine up to the dome.
“Ferrari, it’s Ferrari!” Elistine suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and his face glowed with a strange expression.
“That fellow can ruthlessly leave you behind, how could he possibly turn around!” Idrea replied coldly.
However, the knight still struggled to prop herself up. She looked up at the ceiling of the hall and said, “However, if the ceiling really collapses, it will be a chance for us to get Milleras and Emily out of here.”
She did not mention the other three injured people. In fact, Elistine, Lorraine, and herself were unable to escape. Barely bringing them along, Milleras and Emily would undoubtedly die.
Hearing Idrea’s evaluation of Qin Lun, Elistine’s gaze darkened as he looked at Milleras with anticipation. The Sun Elf Prince hesitated for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile. He did not have the status of an apostle. He did not feel that Qin Lun was afraid of death. Instead, he believed that the young man was the same kind of person as him and placed the responsibility before his life.
“Don’t blame Ferrari. If I hadn’t been separated from Robin and Kelly, I wouldn’t have been able to continue this journey … If it weren’t for the fact that there was an ancient heritage that was crucial to the Japanese elves here … I’m afraid I would have abandoned my personal honor just like Ferrari!” Milleras smiled bitterly and explained to Elistine.
“I know that he is not a person who is afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have refused the invitation of the Elf King and chose to move to the Anke Elf Court with us back then in the Demon Cup Royal Court.” Murmured Elistine.
“Boom!” Just as Elistine was feeling melancholy, the spider web cracks on the top of the obelisk finally reached its limit, and the entire “night sky” smashed down with stars mixed in.
‘”Ah ~ ~” The undead centaur roared furiously. Not only did he not dodge the obsidian dome, he jumped up and punched at the largest rock.
“Hmph, as expected … Even without an independent soul, the Demigod Lich still infused its subconscious to protect the Obelisk of Uviron.” A faint voice came from above the hall.
At the same time, a colossus with scarlet flames also pounced down from above. Two ferocious dog heads poked out from the dust and fiercely bit the centaur. It had a large bloodbasin mouth full of steel knives and sharp teeth, as if it could bite the centaur in half.
