Chapter 153 Seth's Plot
Just when Brian was about to ask the sudden appearance of the Saruk Lich, he suddenly realized that there was no warning in his sight, a strange white and green light flashing, lit up his slightly uneasy face.
Brian immediately discovered that the strange light came from a swaying oval flame, which was suspended out of nowhere in mid-air, in this narrow and cramped room.
Its appearance easily broke through the defensive magic shield activated by Brian, allowing him to feel the hot temperature.
Fortunately, another trigger shield that Brian set for himself in advance to resist energy damage was activated and emerged in time without causing him any damage.
After avoiding the swaying flames, he saw the Saruk Lich's figure suddenly become nothingness and then distorted and disappeared without a trace.
"Is this an illusion?" Brian stepped forward, frowned, and waved his hands to cast the detection magic, saying to himself, "Why didn't I feel the existence of any magic energy."
"Be careful, the flame appears again." At this moment, the Golden Dragon Paralandaks, who was hidden in the Aufire, quickly reminded:
"The purpose of the flame is not to attack you, but to lock your position, and then completely block the surrounding space, so that you cannot escape through teleportation spells in a short time, and then build a portal to teleport here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian saw the oval flame transform into a shadow, slowly moving in the darkness of the room.
He was about to take something when he realized it was too late.
A shadow that emitted cold and dead air appeared from the phantom-like porch and slowly walked out.
The other party was the first time Brian saw the woman, Saruk Witch, wearing a tattered robe, tall and thin, with cold and flickering eyes emitting a cold light in the deep eyes.
Seeing the arrival of the lich's true body, Brian's heart suddenly tugged.
There is no doubt that this is the real Saruk Lich, an evil creature that was transformed from the Saruk Witch who had lived for tens of thousands of years and chose the path to immortality.
Seriously speaking, the lich in front of you is even more powerful and terrifying than the lich transformed by the great arcane masters of the Naserel era.
I saw the lich slid with the rotten snake body, getting closer and closer.
Brian met with her cold gaze, they shone in her hollow skeleton, looking at him, and then showed a look of contempt.
"There are always adventurers who are not afraid of death to find this place." The lich whispered, her hissing voice was surprisingly loud, but Brian felt as if she was extremely far away from her.
"Do you know how long has it been since I've seen an adventurer who has entered here without permission?"
She raised her white eyebrows, "In the continent of Feren, I can always meet a bold adventurer like you who dares to break into the sleeping place of my Lord. Congratulations, for entering your own way of death."
A terrifying smile appeared on the lich's skeleton face, then raised a hand and drew a shining mark in the air.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the other party wanted to take action, Brian interrupted her with a sluggish eyes, and said calmly:
"Your Excellency, please do not get me wrong. I am not the adventurer you imagined to find wealth and magic mysteries. I came here in the name of the ancient creator race, the god of Saruk, and the evil snake Seth."
Hearing Brian mention Seth's name, the lich's raised arms paused, and the soul fire in his eyes became brighter due to excitement.
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to remember something again, then suddenly calmed down, raised her eyelids, looked at Brian with a playful look, and smiled coldly:
"Ignorous adventurer dares to call my Lord's name!"
"Since you don't believe it, then you can take a look at this holy emblem first."
Brian naturally knew that it was impossible to gain the other party's trust by just one side of his own words, and threw the holy emblem in his hand without hesitation.
In fact, the reason why he called Seth an evil snake in front of the lich was to see her expression change to confirm whether the other party was a staunch supporter of Seth in the sleeping Saruk Lich.
From the other party's excited expression, it can be seen that his guess is correct.
However, what Brian didn't expect was that he actually ignored something.
When Seth's holy emblem was thrown into the air by him, it was instantly controlled by the lich using his spiritual remote control energy and stayed in the air.
She took the holy emblem and rubbed it in her palm. After a while, she looked up at Brian with a cold and indifferent look.
Just when Brian thought that the other party had believed that he was the messenger sent by Seth, the other party suddenly threw the holy emblem over in anger, and hissed loudly and roared:
"The holy emblem of my lord is also something that ignorant mortals like you can forge blasphemy and seek death!"
As soon as the words were finished, the lich's arms waved a series of complex gestures at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, the magic energy free in the air immediately became active.
Brian took the holy emblem and had no time to think about why the other party was not as excited as the Ethibi Lizardman when he saw Seth's holy emblem.
Because the Saruk Lich had already taken action at this moment.
He supported a glittering glow barrier between himself and the lich without any hesitation.
The lich waved his arm disdainfully, and a simple and casual magic was released, and Brian's barrier shattered into countless tiny magic dust, jumping like sparks of a bonfire and burning out.
I saw a hint of sneering on the lich's dead bone-like face, "You think you are very smart. You can hide it from my eyes by just carving a holy emblem of my Lord. I don't know that in my eyes, you are simply stupid and unimaginable."
That hissing whisper was like countless sharp awls piercing into Brian's ears, "How could the holy emblem that does not even have the power of my Lord's divine power be deceived so easily?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to the explanation of the lich, Brian quickly glanced at the attributes of the Holy Emblem.
Sure enough, he discovered that the holy emblem in his hand had turned into a piece of wood that was so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary.
Not to mention Seth's thoughts are hidden inside, even the attributes that were given to him at the beginning disappeared completely.
"Oh no!" The Golden Dragon Paralandask obviously noticed the trick:
"We were plotted by Seth. From the moment we entered the tomb, He deliberately hid it and even restrained the divine power of the Holy Emblem. The purpose is to make the Saruk Lich here misunderstand and kill you."
"Since that's the case, there's no way out." After hearing Jin Long's explanation, Brian's face suddenly became gloomy.
I have to admit that Seth did not expect this plan.
Since the explanation seemed pale and powerless, he could only find a way to avoid the edge of the situation or leave the place with the Holy Emblem directly.
Although doing this will lead to the failure of his mission, Seth's purpose of persuading Saruk Wu will also be ruined.
After all, he was not so arrogant that he could use his own strength to "persuade" the unfathomable Saruk Lich in front of him, making her believe that he was really the messenger of Seth.
Just as the lich broke the magic barrier and released mocking words, Brian was not affected at all, but instead was silently preparing for the spell of counterattack.
I saw his hands crossing tracks like afterimages, crackling blue and white energy condensed on his fingers, and then turned into magic arrows and galloping towards the lich.
Facing Brian's attack, there was no change in the lich's corrupt expression.
She did not dodge or avoid, as if she wanted to resist this terrible attack with her body.
This is the case. When the magical energy arrow hit the lich, countless tiny lightning began to leap and explode around her body, but could not cause any damage.
This shocked Brian, who was the attacker, secretly had such high magic resistance.
After only one round of battle, Brian immediately gave up the idea of confronting him head-on and then implemented another plan.
That is to find a way to drag out the lich and let the golden dragon Paralandakus hidden in the Aufire break the dimensional confinement of the lich blockade space as soon as possible.
After confirming the plan, the phantom of the Golden Dragon Paralandaks suddenly appeared in the secret room and began to release detection magic one after another, trying to find the energy core that confined the space in the room.
Seeing the dragon ghost suddenly appearing, the lich not only did not surprise him, but also made an empty laugh, then stretched out her boned arm and began to cast her own spell.
In just a moment, Jinlong relied on his keen perception of magic and found that in the open closet behind Brian, there was a book that emitted the same white and green light as the lich, very faint, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Paralandax stared at the lich, her eyes already showing the look of the winner.
Shadow-like gray energy tentacles burst out from the lich's hands and attacked the two of them at the same time.
"Go and destroy that book!" Brian also noticed the strangeness of the book and immediately said to the Dragon Ghost, "As long as we destroy that book, we can leave here immediately."
Then, his hands began to dance another magic.
A dazzling flash burst out from Brian's fingertips, forming a light wall mixed with arcane energy and psychic power around it, and angrily devoured every tentacle that was coming.
But the lich just shrugged indifferently, and her bone fingers began to silently gather another energy.
While releasing magic, she also reached into her robe and took out several small amulets, and then these amulets suddenly disappeared from her hands.
As if in response, scarlet energy beams shot towards Brian like sharp arrows.
At the same time, there was also a magical arm that looked like a ghost, which also emitted terrifying energy that shocked the soul, extending forward towards Brian.
Brian was unmoved and calmly activated the Aufire. The blue and white energy shield suddenly hung in front of him to protect himself.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly noticed a sudden terrifying scream, which directly crossed his defense barrier and spiritual barrier, passed to the depths of his mind, and was shocked to the spot.
Just as Brian was shocked by this terrifying force for a moment, the Lich's magical arm had torn apart the layers of blue and white shields surrounding him.
Brian suddenly felt a sudden burning sensation in his chest. The lich's energy-filled demon arm had turned into sharp claws, tearing his chest apart, and drawing blood and strength from the wound.
A deep sense of powerlessness came.
Brian gritted his teeth and activated the Star Sword on the ancient ring without hesitation, transforming into a magical energy sword with starlight leaping, trying to free himself from the crimson energy wave.
Just as he was about to slash, a flash exploded, followed by a roar.
Sparks splashed out, and the violent energy directly threw him back into a pile of neatly arranged books.
The magic sword also collapsed, transforming into countless pieces and dissipating in the air.
Blood poured into Brian's eyes, and his chest felt like it was being pressed against a red soldering iron, emitting burning pain.
He covered the blood from the wound and had not yet struggled from his extreme weakness. The lich appeared in his sight like a victor, covering his body with a halo of fiery red flames.
She put her hands behind her back, making an empty and pale laugh, completely ignoring the golden dragon Paralandaks on the other side.
Obviously, she believed with great confidence that it was impossible to destroy the energy core that imprisoned the space with the ability of the Golden Dragon alone.
"I was very surprised that you were able to release spells in this dead magical area."
The Lich, who was sure to win, shook her tail and slid to Brian, raised her arm that shone with scarlet magic energy, and said condescendingly:
"But it's just a surprise, now you can be mine..."
However, before she finished speaking, the injured Brian suddenly stood up, and a chaotic energy summoned from the far void was like a waterfall flowing down, magnificently eroding the body of the lich.
The lich, caught off guard, was immediately washed away by this terrible energy, and his body was like a kite with broken strings, hitting the wall behind him hard.
Brian also took this opportunity to activate the healing ability of the curse fire, allowing warmth and power to flow back into his body.
Then, he felt the blood flowing in his eyes disappear, and the burned wound on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The negative energy that penetrated into his body was burned out by the curse fire in an instant.
On the other side, the lich had already stood up from the ground safely.
"It's just a few tricks that can actually remove my curse, but that's all!"
She glanced at Brian fiercely, waved her arms angrily, and a red mist gushed out from her corrupt body, instantly spreading throughout the narrow secret room.
