It was close to seven o'clock at night when they decided on the plan. After the three of them left the workshop area, they went through the back door controlled by the common control to the underground palace hall where the real core of the enchantment was stored. On the way, they found a monitoring sensor installed every once in a while, so he had to waste time to modify the data every time.
When they were about to reach their destination, the three of them encountered an unexpected situation. Because they were only paying attention to the Lich's real-time movements and the location of the monitor, they ignored some miscellaneous information. There were seven ghouls entrenched near the underground palace, and they discovered the three of them through special perception.
"Is that…a ghoul? However, it seemed different from the one he encountered last time.”Luana was the first to discover these monsters. They climbed on the walls or the ceiling near the underground palace and surrounded the three of them.
Hilo observed the ghouls for a while, then recalled the information he had seen in the guide and said," That seems to be a high-level ghoul, a superior species of ordinary ghouls.”
" Well, it doesn't seem as disgusting as the ghoul from last time..." Luana frowned as she recalled the first time she met a ghoul. Then, as if she had remembered something, she blushed and glared at the lucky pervert. Then, she added," But this ghoul looks disgusting too."”
However, he did not have time to bother with Luana now. He first checked the Lich's situation with Omniscience and was relieved when he found out that the Lich had not found them. Then he looked up at the high-level ghouls climbing on the rock wall and found that they looked like zombie crawlers. The length and thickness of their arms and legs were very similar. The difference was that their bodies were pale yellow-green, and their bodies were covered with barbed armor similar to the backs of crocodiles. There were no eyes, nose, ears, hair, or other organs on the smooth skin of the head. Instead, it had a huge mouth that could bite the entire neck of a human when it was opened to the maximum.
As for these high-level ghouls, their strength was only average. They were as fast as cheetahs and as strong as elephants. They were good at close combat biting and clawing, and their barbed armor was hard and carried active fever. Their combat strength was only about half of the Skeletal Knights. They had the advantage of terrain and could cause some trouble for the three of them by climbing nimbly. The reason why they stayed here was actually because they were once members of the royal family. After they died, they lost their rationality after being revived by the lich, leaving only their instinct to eat.
"Get rid of them as soon as possible. Remember not to make too much of a commotion. Hilo, cover us with Wind Armor, but don't use any offensive scrolls.”After checking the information, he instructed the two women. He did not want to attract the Lich's attention because of these small fries.
Luana pulled out the throwing knives tied to her thighs and threw them out quickly and accurately. Although the four throwing knives hit the four ghouls, they could not penetrate their armor. However, this was enough. After being provoked, the ghouls abandoned their remaining rationality and pounced down from the rock wall with all their might.
After hearing Gongyou's order, Hilo took out the last three Wind Armor Scrolls and attached them to Gongyou, Luana, and herself in turn. Then, she silently formed a triangle formation with the other two. Because he had said not to cause a big commotion, Hilo did not take out the three magic scrolls, Gray Flame Bomb, Purple Flame Bomb, and Little Lightning. She only added the freezing attribute on the ring to the ghoul that was attacking her.
He drew his flaming sword and began to fight with the ghouls. They could not penetrate the wind armor, but he could slowly burn them to death with each sword. Compared to him, Luana's battle was more difficult. Although the wind armor was not afraid of the ghouls 'attacks, her strength was not superior to the elephant-level ghouls, so she could only maintain a defensive position.
A few minutes later, the last ghoul was turned into a stone statue, and the unexpected encounter was over. The three of them did not have time to clean up the battlefield, so they rushed to the entrance of the underground palace under his urging. He pressed his hand on the closed stone door and closed his eyes. Then, he used the information he obtained from Omniscient to decipher the spell on the door. Fortunately, the stone door was not mechanical, or they could only force it down, which might attract the lich nearby.
After spending a few more minutes unlocking the palace door, the three of them finally pushed open the stone door and entered the underground palace. The building looked like a replica of the palace hall on the ground. The metal dome was ten meters high, and at the highest point of the steps facing the door was a gorgeous king's chair. The twelve pillars on both sides of the hall were carved from a special jade. In the middle of the hall, there was a stone platform floating half a meter above the ground. On it was a light red gem that was smaller than a coin. That was the core of the entire underground enchantment.
They had seen the special jade used to make the pillars of the temple before. The statue in the Great Temple of the City of Agriculture was made of this material. The material was the Forbidden Magic Jade mentioned in the information about the Lich. It was a magical material often used in the Soul Sect's Super Ritual. Its hardness and flexibility were very low, but it could block the coverage of the Weave, rendering all spell slots and enchantment equipment that relied on the Weave ineffective. In other words, most of the magic tools on the three of them were ineffective. Only the Rune Word Dragon Scale could barely maintain one-third of its power.
The gem that was the core of the underground enchantment was the Philosopher's Cornerstone. It was also the cornerstone that allowed the quasi-legendary realm to operate. The entire enchantment relied on it as a support point to exist. Without the Philosopher's Cornerstone as the core, the function of the enchantment would fall to at least one percent of its current level.
After instructing the two women to stay alert, he walked into the hall. He pressed his hands on the floating stone platform and closed his eyes. He began to invade the core tactics of the enchantment. To be precise, he copied the plan given by Omniscient.
'…Spiritual link initiated…Tactics deciphered…Encountered firewall…Passcode imported, correct…Forced firewall shut down…Continuing to modify tactics…Encountered second firewall…'
Just half an hour after the invasion of the core, another unexpected situation occurred. A few translucent evil spirits floated over from afar. They wore light and revealing maid costumes, and the parts of their bodies that were exposed were 50% transparent. One could even see through their bodies to see the scenery behind them. This was a vengeful spirit that was comparable to the Skeletal Knights and was immune to physical damage.
When these vengeful spirit maids approached, they discovered the charred or petrified ghouls in front of the palace door. They immediately accelerated and floated over. Their speed was faster than the running of horses. In a moment, they arrived in front of the palace door. Then, they directly confronted the two women inside the palace.
"Hilo, what are these things?”Luana looked at the translucent monsters floating in the air and said warily. At least for now, she couldn't let them in and disturb the common people.
"I don't know either, but looking at their form, they should be a type of vengeful spirit?”Hilo guessed. Although she was familiar with the books in the temple of the Church of Earth Mother in the border town, there weren't many records of spirits. However, some travel notes had mentioned similar things.
" They're wearing maid costumes. Are they here to take care of the unclean living here..." Luana complained. Did the unclean need food? However, it seemed like it was really necessary. It was just that the food was not meat or vegetables. Instead, it needed to be charged with magic stones regularly.
"In short, we can't let them disturb Mr. Gong You. Be careful, they're coming.”After saying that, Hilo raised his staff and prayed for a divine wall to seal the main entrance of the palace. The walls of the palace were made of special materials, so there was no need to worry about them penetrating through the walls.
However, Hilo's speed was a little slow. The first vengeful spirit maid had already entered the palace, so Luana jumped up and kicked it horizontally. Her foot directly penetrated the vengeful spirit maid's body along with her clothes. After the physical maid's clothes were removed, a translucent female spirit body covered in red fruits was revealed. When it realized that it was attacked by Luana, it immediately pounced on her from midair. She reached out to hit it. However, the fist once again passed through its body and hit empty air. At this time, it had already grabbed her neck with both hands.
The wraith could clearly touch Luana, but she couldn't touch it even when she waved her hand in a panic. She hurriedly reached out and wiped the Purification Ring on her finger to activate the attribute function, but she found that the enchantment ring couldn't be used under the effect of the surrounding anti-magic jade. What was worse was that as time passed, she felt that her brain was getting more and more blurry due to lack of oxygen.
" Luana…" Hilo turned her gaze back from the door. She immediately noticed what happened to Luana. A female translucent wraith with a Scarlet Pheasant Fruit was sitting on Luana's body. It had its hands around Luana's neck, but Luana's resistance was useless.
Hilo rushed forward and used her staff to hit the vengeful spirits, but she found that the staff also pierced through the vengeful spirits without any effect. It was then that she remembered that the vengeful spirits could ignore physical attacks. To deal with them, one would need to use magic attacks. However, the twelve pillars around the hall were all made of anti-magic jade, so they were almost invincible in this situation. Most adventurers could only wait for death when they encountered such a situation. However, the young priestess who was always slacking had a way to fight against them.
Raising her staff high, Hilo began to pray for a miracle. A moment later, a purifying light shone in the hall of the palace. The wraith that was strangling Luana was instantly burned into ashes by the pure white holy light. Hilo then immediately took out a healing potion from his backpack and fed it to Luana. Only then was she saved from death.
At this time, the vengeful maids outside the palace held their fists in their maid costumes and then attacked the holy wall created by the miracle through the cloth. In just a short while, the holy wall began to flicker and was about to break. After waiting for Luana to catch her breath, Hilo picked up her staff and prayed for the miracle to purify again.
But this time, the vengeful spirit maids outside were prepared. The moment before the purification miracle was completed, they all shrank their bodies and hid in the maid's clothes. Although the purifying light still made them scream repeatedly, it could not penetrate the clothes to destroy them. After the purification miracle ended, the vengeful spirit maids crawled out of the clothes again and then continued to knock on the holy wall that sealed the door of the temple through the clothes.
Hilo had no choice but to maintain the Holy Wall with all his might, even praying for a new Holy Wall miracle to continue sealing the temple door. Both sides were in a stalemate for a while, but the number of vengeful spirit maids was obviously more. As long as Hilo's miracle was exhausted, the two women would be at his mercy, and the final victory would belong to them.
Time passed like this. After another ten minutes, Hilo was about to give up under the blessing of the Great Priest-level staff. Luana was even considering whether to wake up the Common Path and run away. He finally completed the invasion of the core.
'…Spiritual link in progress…Core tactic modification completed…Introduction of custom console completed…Authority change completed…'
Taking a deep breath, Gong You finally opened his eyes again. He had sealed off his five senses earlier and relied on his concentration to increase the speed of modifying the tactics. Now that he opened his eyes and looked back, he realized that the door of the hall was filled with translucent monsters. This really gave him a fright.
"Gongyou, you're finally awake. There are many vengeful spirits outside, and even Hilo can't hold on much longer.”Luana saw that Gongyou had woken up and immediately ran over to grab his arm to ask.
"Calm down." After consoling Luana, he began to search for information on the vengeful spirits through Omniscient. After obtaining the true information of the evil vengeful spirits, he was very surprised that the two women could stop them. If these vengeful maids went to the surface, they could easily kill the knights and mercenaries. Unless the priests purified them, the pure warriors of the Combat Department could not do anything to them.
However, after reading the information, he was not afraid of them. They were just vengeful spirits. After knowing their weakness, he had many ways to deal with them. He walked to the door of the palace and gently patted Hilo's shoulder. Then, he said with a fierce expression," There's no need to continue maintaining the Holy Wall. When we're ready, we'll rush out together and kill them in the small square in front of the palace.”
Although the two women were very puzzled by Gong You's suggestion, they still nodded in trust. When Hilo stopped maintaining the Holy Wall, Gong You shouted," Charge!" Then, he held the two women's waists and rushed through the vengeful spirit maids into the square in front of the hall. Although the vengeful spirit maids were very puzzled by the three people's choice, they still immediately caught up. However, it was now the three people's home ground.
He did not activate the enchantment effect of the Flame Sword. He only activated the Ring of Lightning and drew his sword to slash at the vengeful spirit maidservant. When they saw his attack, they did not dodge. Instead, they pounced on him. However, when his sword pierced through the vengeful spirit maidservant, an electric arc that could be seen clearly erupted. Then, the vengeful spirit maidservant that was pierced by the electric current directly turned into ashes.
Luana followed suit. After activating the Ring of Purification, she punched at the Vengeful Servants. When her fist penetrated their translucent bodies, a pure white light of purification burst out, instantly burning the Vengeful Servants into ashes. Hilo did the same. After activating the Ring of Freeze, he used his staff to hit the Vengeful Servants. The Vengeful Servants shattered like glass, and when their fragments fell to the ground, they also disappeared into ashes.
After the three of them killed several vengeful spirit maids in a row, they finally turned around and floated away in fear. They stopped the two women who wanted to continue their pursuit. He pulled them back to the underground palace hall and began to set up traps to prepare for the final battle of the day, because it would not be long before the Epic Lich who discovered the situation came to find him.
.
As expected, at around eight o'clock in the evening, a huge human-like skeleton walked in from the entrance of the palace a few minutes after the vengeful maid escaped. It had a translucent skeleton that was seven meters tall, and each bone was made of magic crystals.(It weighed about five tons and cost 45 billion RMB). There was also a black magic ball inside its chest, which was protected by its ribs. There was a green flame coming out of the hollow of its skull, and purple sparks were shining on its bone fingers. It only wore an extremely gorgeous robe and did not carry any equipment that looked like weapons.
This was the master of the old capital, the former king, and an Epic lich. Its body was no longer made of magic crystals, but bone powder. Its magic crystal weighed about five tons, and its energy reserve was two trillion joules (2e13J). According to the calculation of 4,184 joules (4.2e3J) per gram of t.n.t, its energy reserve was equivalent to 4,762 tons. The highest power output was 20 gigawattles (2e10J/s), and the power output of each aircraft carrier was only 200 megawattles (2e8J/s). Its power output was equivalent to the total power of 100 aircraft carriers.
If this was the era of cold weapons in the real world, this Lich would have been able to kill millions of armored soldiers and conquer the world. If this was the era of firearms in the real world, this Lich could rival the armored army of a big country and sink an aircraft carrier battle group by itself. If this was the Magic Age of this world, this lich could suppress all the rebellions in the kingdom by itself. All the armies combined would not be able to defeat it.
"Ever since this palace was built, you are the first batch of guests to come here. I am very happy to be able to see guests like you.”The Lich spoke with a voice device that was hidden somewhere. His voice was like a hospitable old man with great affinity.
He found that the two women were directly suppressed by the Lich's spirit and could not move. This was a very subtle mental suppression spell. It turned out that the Lich had already made a move secretly the moment he entered the palace. Under the huge difference in size, the High Priest Bracelet did not have much effect.
" I know you have a lot of questions to ask me. For you lucky visitors, I will allow you to ask three questions. I will tell you the answers without hiding anything.”The Lich walked steadily to the stone platform in the middle of the palace while he continued to disturb the thoughts of the three people with tempting words. His voice was warm and friendly.
Gong Yu had already understood everything through Omniscient, but his dragon scales could only display a portion of their functions under the suppression of the magic-sealing jade. Therefore, under the spiritual suppression, his consciousness was also a little sluggish, as if he was dozing off.
"Damn it, how did you cut off my connection with the Soul Stone? Since you like the Soul Stone so much, then stay with it forever.”The Lich finally tore off its disguise and bared its fangs as it approached the stone platform in the center of the hall. It raised its hand angrily and pointed at Common Cause. Without the support of the Weave, it began to chant an incantation on its own," Rick Rak…Astral Projection, Exile.”
Seeing that the Lich had walked into a pre-set trap, he immediately activated the predetermined spell. Since neither side could use spell slots, it was up to who was more prepared.
'…Spiritual link in progress…Control panel in operation…Workshop security system activated…The enchantment has entered overclock mode (power reaches several TWh)…Warning, this mode will damage the security system…Alarm deactivated, overclock mode is forcibly activated…Target life frequency captured, locking complete…Coordinates confirmed, modified, transferred…'
The spell was completed first, but at the same time as the Lich dodged the magic array, it also completed the magic chant and released an invisible wave to lock onto the Lich. The magic resistance runes on the dragon scales flashed and were broken by the invisible wave. The moment the invisible wave hit him, the Guardian Gem in his arms emitted a faint light and shattered into powder, but it still barely blocked the Lich's fatal blow.
In the next moment, the Lich that was locked by the magic array disappeared from the underground palace, and Gongyou collapsed on the floor with his eyes wide open.
.
Although the sun had already set on the ground of the old capital, magic stone lamps were still temporarily hung in the small square in front of the palace. One of the many box carriages in the square had been carefully modified. A bed was installed inside, and the foot of the bed was fixed to the carriage. Now, an old man was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He did not have much time left because of the relapse of the soul injury in his early years. The skinny old man in the Archbishop's robe suddenly opened his eyes and muttered," I found you.”
In the central square of the old capital, a magic array appeared and disappeared in a flash. A seven-meter-tall King of the Unholy appeared on the stone slab that had originally been empty. It was the Epic Lich that had been in the underground palace a moment ago. At this moment, two ten-centimeter-long green sparks shot out of its skull's eye sockets, which could not be seen. It was a sign of its extreme anger.
"Those three mortals were actually able to scheme against me. How did they do it? I'm clearly not even an Epic. How did they cut off my connection with the Soul Stone?”The Lich looked down at the ground and muttered to itself. It could not understand how it had been tricked. Mortals were like ants to it. It could not understand why.
A moment after the Lich reached the surface, a white light suddenly illuminated the sky of the old capital. Then, a figure shrouded in holy light flew from the direction of the palace to the central square of the city.
" Another Avenger? I've killed too many over the years…" The Lich looked up at the figure flying over and whispered helplessly.
" Leoric, do you still remember that year..." The figure enveloped in holy light that flew from the sky revealed the body of the bishop. At this time, there were no signs of aging on his face, and his face was full of vitality. His physique was not as weak as a moment ago. Instead, he was as perfect as a fitness coach. He was over eighty years old, and under the blessing of God, he looked like a crane with a healthy face and a strong body. He shouted at the lich on the ground.
"So what if your church knows about what happened back then? I used to be the king of this country, and I can forgive the sins I have committed.”The Lich interrupted the bishop and retorted calmly. It was not lying. Even if it had killed countless people, as long as it designated the victims as enemies of the kingdom in advance, even if it slaughtered an entire city, it would not produce an evil aura as it was once a kingdom. This was because according to the law, it had killed enemies and not innocent people, so it did not commit a crime, just like how soldiers on the battlefield would be pardoned for killing themselves.
"No matter what, I must get an explanation for all the victims today.”The bishop ignored the lich's quibble. After he finished his declaration, he pointed his staff at the lich. At this moment, a ten-meter-long blade of holy light extended from the staff, and as it waved, the light of purification splashed.
The Lich's skull let out a mocking laugh. Then, it floated up into the air and quickly rose to the same height as the bishop. At this time, if the mercenaries and knights in the nearby streets looked up, they would be able to see two light balls, one white and one gray, confronting each other in the sky.
The first to strike was the bishop, whose patience had reached its limit. He brandished his ten-meter-long sword of holy light and charged at the lich like a berserker. In a short distance, he accelerated to seven times the speed of sound (2.4km/s). He was clearly a preacher, but he used the same fighting style as the guardians of the Church of Mother Earth. The lich immediately launched a magic circle with a diameter of more than ten meters around him to counterattack. Runes that were composed of various spells and runes danced in the air, and then spewed out dozens of undead magic balls towards the bishop.
When the attack reached the bishop, the epic robe he was wearing had 78 layers of strengthened holy walls that blocked the undead magic ball that could automatically aim and track. When the two collided, white spots of light exploded in the sky.
The Lich only grew serious when it saw that its casual attack had failed to injure the bishop. Its seven-meter-tall magical crystal body moved away from the bishop at ten times the speed of sound. Then, as it spread its arms a few hundred meters away, the magic circle around it expanded as well. A moment later, its diameter expanded to more than thirty meters. Finally, it continued to spew hundreds of Undead Magic Balls into the sky, forming a torrential rain of attacks. Among them, there were also a few Cursed Magic Balls.
The bishop was as agile as a bird as he dashed left and right in the sky. His instantaneous acceleration was more than 100 times the gravity (a> 1km/s2), and the saturated coverage attack that could not be dodged was blocked by the holy wall. For a short period of time, the battle was tense and the outcome was not determined.
The two sides were chasing each other in the sky. The battlefield covered the entire Old Capital. They were flying over the small square in front of the palace. The priests on the ground were looking up at the battle. The Lich waved his hand and hundreds of Undead Magic Balls were shot at the priests on the ground. When the priests saw the attack coming from the sky, they gathered together to block the Undead Magic Balls with the United Holy Wall. The power of each Magic Ball was slightly stronger than a grenade.(9e5J). After the explosion broke the holy wall, some of the priests fainted on the ground.
When the bishop saw that the Lich wanted to get involved with the innocent people who were watching the battle on the ground, he sprinted forward and forced the Lich to dodge before shouting," Leoric, are you crazy?”
"Heh, the current situation is that you are using your power to take revenge without the permission of the current king. Even if I kill all of you here, the people below will be implicated by you. Even the Church can't hold me accountable.”The Lich took the opportunity to launch an instant magic sneak attack from the magic net spell slot. At the same time, it sneered and tried to disrupt the opponent's thoughts with words. Without the suppression of the magic-sealing jade, its strength was at the complete upper position of the Epic stage.
" Since I'm already here, I never thought I'd be able to return alive…" the bishop said after blocking the Lich's Super Spell, Instant Death, with a Sacred Artifact. He had been preparing for this day for decades, and he had already made up his mind to pay the price with his life.
After that, the two sides engaged in another battle. Each Undead Magic Ball was equivalent to about 200 grams. The energy reserves in the Lich's magical crystal body were enough for it to throw the Magic Ball at will, causing the knights, mercenaries, and clergymen on the ground to hide. Once the two Epic experts fought, they would really become cannon fodder.
Ten minutes after the battle, although the Lich's energy reserves were still sufficient, the bishop still seized an opportunity. He first locked the Lich with a sacred artifact to temporarily immobile it before praying for the last miracle in his body." Merciful Mother Earth, please allow me to sacrifice everything and burn away the evil in the world.”
This was the miracle of the Holy Flame. The bishop's entire body was covered in eternal holy flames. Then, with the help of the Holy Weapon, he quickly crashed into the chest of the Lich's seven-meter-tall body. He turned into a raging holy flame that would not be extinguished and burned its Lich body. The temperature was so terrifying that even the magical crystal could evaporate. When the magical crystal was heated by the high temperature, it would emit even more powerful light and heat. The night sky within a hundred kilometers of the old capital was lit up by the magic crystal skeleton that was releasing intense energy. The holy flames burned for three minutes before burning both of them to ashes.
When the night sky darkened again, there was only one Holy Weapon that could not be destroyed by the Holy Flame. It floated in the air for a moment before turning into a stream of light and flying to the hand of the Grand Priest who was waiting in the small square in front of the palace. Finally, it turned back into an ordinary golden headband in the shape of a wheat ear.
"Teacher, your wish has finally come true. Even if I have to risk my life and dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely find its phylactery and completely purify it. Please rest in peace.”The Grand Priest held the Holy Weapon with a headband and swore to himself. Now that he had obtained the inheritance of the Holy Weapon, he was qualified to say this because his combat strength had increased thousands of times from quasi-epic and was comparable to a hero.
This was the strength of the Church. As long as the Sacred Vessel of Inheritance is still there, the bishop of his personal disciple The priest of the City of Farming was the cleric who inherited the holy weapon and would continue this crusade. As long as the holy weapon of the church was still there, its combat power would not be cut off. The endless strong people who were determined to die would sooner or later kill the enemy of the church. He was his personal disciple and the designated successor of the next Holy Weapon. He had a firm belief and tradition, so even if two more Epic Liches appeared, they would still be killed by the priests.
.
When the Lich had just been transferred to the surface, Common You had collapsed to the ground under its final magical counterattack. Now, the two women were free from the mental suppression because the Lich had been transferred out of the barrier. They could see and hear but could not move or speak. The two women were actually very afraid. If they did not trust Common You very much, they would have collapsed in that great fear.
After regaining their mobility, the two women sat on the ground and breathed heavily. After a while, they didn't see him sitting up before they realized something was wrong. They anxiously crawled to his side and shook his body to wake him up. However, although his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs didn't move at all.
At this moment, his common consciousness was very clear. He could see, hear, and touch. Basically, all five senses were retained, but he could not control his body's movements. Therefore, he began to seek help from the Omniscient Infinite Knowledge.
'What's wrong with me?』
[Omniscient: Your spirit body is temporarily separated from your body, so you are unable to control your body.]
How long is it temporarily?』
[Omniscient: Almost five minutes. One minute has passed. Four minutes left.]
'Why is this happening?』
[Omniscient: The Lich Leoric has used the Super Spell Soul Binding on you, intending to banish your spirit body into the Philosopher's Cornerstone.]
It failed?』
[Omniscient: Negative. Lich Leoric's magic has not completely failed. Although most of it was blocked by the Guardian Gem, a small part of your spirit was still banished to the Philosopher's Cornerstone.]
'How much is a small portion?』
"Omniscient: About 2%. Part of the spirit body is now stored in the Wise One's Cornerstone."
" How does it affect me?』
[Omniscient: Due to the loss of your soul, your chances of stepping into the Epic stage have been reduced by half, and your chances of stepping into the Legendary stage have been reduced by one-tenth. The Philosopher's Cornerstone has become your natal item.]
"Can I take it back?』
[Omniscient: Definitely, but you need to be at least Epic to safely retrieve the split spirit body from the Philosopher's Cornerstone.]
After realizing that the problem wasn't too big, he calmed down. In any case, as long as he had omniscience, there would always be a way. Mortals could even plot against Myth-ranked creatures, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, something special had happened at this time, which had diverted his attention. He temporarily didn't have time to care about the small matters of the spirit bodies.
Hilo used the Miracle of Healing on the paralyzed Gong You, but it was useless because his body was not damaged. Luana fed him a bottle of healing potion, but the potion flowed down his cheek. She first put the potion in her mouth, then pried open his mouth and fed it to him.
After that, Luana fed him a few bottles of potions in a row and tried all the potions in her backpack. In the end, he still didn't move. The two women checked him and found that his heart was still beating and his breathing was instinctive, but his consciousness didn't react. Luana sat on the side and couldn't do anything, while Hilo hugged his body and cried.
A few minutes later, Gong You, who was in Hilo's arms, suddenly blinked his dry eyes and his body twitched. He had gradually regained some control of his body, but his body was still too numb to make any complicated movements. Hilo was the first to notice that he was 'clear', because his head was resting on her chest.
"Mr. Gongyou, you're finally awake…Wu, wu, wu.”Hilo's tears, which were about to stop, came back again. When she helped him up, she found that he could only move his fingers and turn his eyes, but it still made her cry with excitement.
"What…Gongyou…Gongyou, are you alright? " Gongyou..." Luana heard the noise and crawled over. When she saw Gongyou blinking at her, her eyes also became moist. She muttered to herself," It's good that you're awake."”
"Mr. Gongyou seems to be unable to move. Is he paralyzed?”Hilo asked Luana as he caressed her body. They didn't see any wounds when they checked, and they had treated them with potions.
"So what if he's paralyzed? At most, we'll take care of him for the rest of his life. Anyway, we have money now.”Luana replied casually. She thought about the harvest this time. It could already allow the three of them to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
"Yes, I'll take good care of him too." Shiloh said as she hugged the common cause. However, she finally calmed down after a while, and her IQ came back online." Why don't we go to the chief priest? He should have a miracle that can cure paralysis."”
"I said, let me calm down. I was hit by the Lich's paralysis spell. I'll be able to move once the spell's effect wears off.”In order to not let the two girls worry, Gong You did not intend to reveal the fact that his spirit body had been split. However, he still reminded them," Right, that Xian…that Soul Stone, don't tell anyone else. It's very important to me.”
Although the two women did not understand why Gongyou cared so much about the Sage Cornerstone, they still agreed to it. He was becoming more and more important in their hearts, so they would not refute his opinion on such small matters. They would even listen to him without asking questions if he did not explain.
After Gong You continued to rest for a while, he dragged his tired body to stand up. Then, he gritted his teeth and said," Let's go and take revenge for this blow."”
Originally, Gong You did not want to deal with the Lich himself. He just wanted to divert the trouble to the Church to beat it to death. But now, he changed his mind. The Lich dared to use the Soul Binding Spell on him and even caused his spirit body to split. He definitely could not let it go. If he did not kill it personally, it would not be able to resolve the hatred in his heart.
Now that the core authority of the underground enchantment was shared, there was no place that could stop him. After finding the exact location of the Lich's phylactery through Omniscient, the three of them immediately set off. The walls on the road automatically changed and opened a passage. It did not take long for the three of them to arrive at a hidden corner of the underground workshop.
The Lich's soul had been severely injured by the Holy Flame during the battle above the surface. It was still in a coma, and it would not wake up for a few hours. Therefore, when the phylactery was found, it was already unable to resist. The so-called phylactery was a small box that contained most of Leoric's brain tissue. To put it bluntly, it was just a magical version of the brain in a vat. The Lich's body was only a combat weapon that could be operated remotely.
After a minute of electrotherapy, Leoric's brain tissue in the Lich's phylactery was heated to 50% mature. He then stuffed the phylactery into his backpack and prepared to take it away. It was already past nine o'clock at night. He originally wanted to return to the surface, but the two women had the idea of exploring. They dragged him around the underground workshop and killed the vengeful maids.
There weren't many supplies in the workshop, as the Lich had the habit of sending the finished products to the Water Capital on a regular basis. However, Luana still had her eyes on a luxurious sofa in the large storage room. She wanted to move it back for her own use, but was rejected by the common reason. On the other hand, Hilo couldn't forget a large handcrafted clock. It was obvious that the bronze thing couldn't be moved.
In fact, the most precious thing in the underground enchantment was the large-scale fixed materials used to set up the enchantment. Their value was shocking. Just the conversion of materials alone cost more than 100 billion RMB, but unfortunately, these things could not be taken away.
However, the expedition was not without gains. Under the guidance of Omniscient, he found a broken Rune Sword. Because Omniscient said that the Rune Word could be repaired, he decided to pack the broken sword and put it in his backpack. There were also a large number of semi-finished products, including potions and scrolls. As for the finished products, they were either sold by the Lich for experimental materials or used up.
This round of plundering did not end until nearly midnight. When the three returned to the surface, the priests were still searching for the location of the barrier entrance in the Urban area. Therefore, they exchanged the lich's phylactery for the holy relic ring that could be used to make weapons of light from the priest. They also exchanged the royal bonds for the equivalent of the church's atonement. It could be said that the black money was washed clean.
The chief priest asked about the underground enchantment. He casually made up an excuse that the three of them had entered the enchantment during the battle between the lich and the bishop. The chief priest felt that this reason was more reasonable. Seeing that the two sides were talking, Hilo did not say anything in the end. So, the chief priest asked for a map from him and returned to the camp by the lake. Of course, the search of the old capital was also stopped by the chief priest. The scattered members were also summoned back.
Although there were still many valuable things underground, such as the twelve magic-sealing jade pillars and the base of the enchantment, it was still the same saying: 'money is the least valuable thing to the omniscient Gongyou'. Now that the three of them had plundered everything useful in the underground enchantment, no matter how valuable the other things were, they were no different from soil to Gongyou.
After returning to the camp, the two women were still obsessed with the valuable things in the old capital. They had to force them to lie on the pillow. In the end, the two women were still discussing the strange materials in the storeroom after he fell asleep, from royal household appliances, art pieces, antiques to large-scale magic tools. They talked until they were very late and could not help but hug him to sleep. They even remembered him in their dreams.
