At that moment, Akasha actually had no other choice.
As the highest-level clergyman in the team, she knew very well that the shield she cast could not stop the warlord's axe. And on this battlefield full of corpses and the undead, "Bone Wall" was the most suitable choice.
When Akasha studied "Necromancy", she would naturally study the structure of the spell, and later on, she would also try it out. She found that she could actually cast a few low-level spells as a research object, so she did some practice.
"Bone Wall" was one of the most basic spells of necromancers. Its "defense" was largely dependent on the composition of the material used to cast the spell, and the size of the bone wall was determined by the level and mana of the mage.
For example, the "Bone Wall" formed by the black-robed orc was tens of meters long because of his profound mana, but Akasha could only form about two meters with all her strength. The difference was self-evident.
But being able to block the attack was a good spell, and Akasha did not regret this. What she was worried about at this time was the fact that she used "Necromancy" — the most important thing was that all of this was clearly seen by a priest of the "Rose Cross"!
Akasha was very nervous for a moment: would Sally directly order people to arrest her?
According to the arbitration method of the Vatican, she would definitely be dragged to the stake, not to mention that the Duke in front of her was a "love rival" who had always had a cold relationship with him …
As a member of the "Viper Cross", Akasha had seen too many dark and despicable means, so she immediately thought that Sally would use this to directly "get rid" of her — but after she looked at Sally helplessly for a few seconds, she saw Sally raise her hand and release a "Holy Purification", turning the "Bone Wall" into a piece of unrecognizable debris without a trace.
"This is …"
Akasha was stunned, but Sally no longer cared about the bones on the ground. She jumped off the restless horse and waved her hand, "Let's go, Roddy is calling us over!"
"Ah? Uh … okay! "
Akasha was a little dizzy — Sally was obviously helping her clean up the traces, but was she really willing to stand on her side? Or was she planning to use this matter to negotiate with him later?
Roddy, who was dozens of meters away, didn't know how the two priests were feeling. He had just downed a potion and pulled Neffy behind him. He stared at the black-robed Beastman not far away …
His opponent's body had already been blasted to smithereens by an Arcane Technique. His two legs were a bloody mess, and his remaining arm was charred black. Only two eyes remained on his disfigured face, still emitting a faint light.
"Pa da."
Hearing the footsteps, the necromancer tried his best to move his head. When he saw clearly that the person approaching was Roddy, his gaze froze, and his rotten mouth immediately moved slightly …
But before he could chant the spell of "self-destruction", Akasha's "Group Silence" directly interrupted his casting, and Sally's "Holy Shackles" locked his body, making him lose all ability to resist.
Naifei took out a 'Flame Blast' scroll and stared at Kieran without blinking.
"In order to clean up the nobles of Efta, you are really willing to pay a heavy price …" Roddy ignored the opponent's resentful gaze. He squatted down, almost face-to-face with the guy in front of him, and said calmly, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time, Augustine."
Sally and Akasha suddenly widened their eyes. They looked at each other, as if to confirm that they did not hear wrongly.
"The price to pay for a soul incarnation is not small. You will have to recuperate for a few years."
The effect of "Group Silence" only lasted for three seconds, so Roddy did not talk to the opponent before taking action like in some movies. Before his voice died away, he grabbed the crystal on the opponent's chest with lightning speed and pulled it out with a "ka" sound!
The disappearance of the crystal turned the body into a pile of rotten flesh in the blink of an eye. But the next moment, a white ring suddenly lit up in Roddy's left eye.
"It's not good to be angry out of humiliation … Ha."
There was a touch of coldness in Roddy's eyes. The moment he grabbed the crystal, the will inside tried to attack his mind, but with the "Mark of the Dragon Slayer", this attack was completely ineffective.
But some information mixed in this mental attack confirmed Roddy's guess in his heart. The opponent was none other than the monarch of Tasman!
It sounded a little unbelievable, but Roddy was already familiar with this method. In his memory, Tasman's invasion of the human world was led by Augustine several times. As a monarch, he naturally would not enter the battlefield himself. Instead, he would use a high-level spell like "soul incarnation" to "split" a part of his soul to control a body.
"Incarnation" was different from "doppelgangers". The "doppelgangers" created by Wellington and Sodelor were actually "accessories" that were controlled. "Incarnation", on the other hand, was an individual that was close to being "independent". In other words, it was the "will" inside the crystal that controlled the black-robed orcs to carry out the plan, and not Augustine himself, who was thousands of miles away.
This body's original strength was only at level-10. In order to turn the situation around, he forcibly overdrew the power of the "Incarnation Crystal" to advance to level-30. But in the end, he did not win the final victory. The failure of the "incarnation" meant that Augustine had completely lost a part of his soul.
For a high-ranking lich, this was definitely a heavy blow.
"Will and soul …"
Roddy squinted and carefully recalled the characteristics of the crystal in his hand. "Soul incarnation" was not completely independent. It still fundamentally accepted the orders of Augustine's main body. So after thinking for a while, he did not immediately destroy it. Instead, he wrapped it in a piece of cloth and put it in a fine iron helmet.
The "shielding" effect of metal on magic could temporarily ensure that it would not affect anyone.
"Roddy, did you just say that he was … Augustine?"
Sally stared at the broken corpse and asked hesitantly.
"It's that old bag of bones, Tasman. Obviously, he planned everything from the beginning to the end … What an old fox. He really leaves no trace." Roddy looked at the battlefield where victory was already decided and gave up on the idea of continuing to fight. He touched the wound on his abdomen and sucked in a breath of cold air in pain. "Hiss … that was really dangerous. I was almost wiped out."
Although that was what he said, in fact, Roddy's team had always held the initiative in the process of counterattack. The team allocation, the control of the situation, and the use of the environment were all done to the extreme. If analyzed, almost every detail could be included in a military textbook.
But Roddy was not interested in thinking about this, because after the battle stabilized, Naifei had already thrown herself into his arms. After all, the little girl had not experienced anything big. Augustine's terrifying forbidden magic made her extremely afraid. The fear of almost losing Roddy made her legs tremble.
"Okay, it's okay now."
Roddy patted her back gently. "You saved my life, Naifei."
The little girl was speechless and just hugged his neck even harder.
"I won't say thank you, because you are my best friend, right?"
When saying this, Roddy felt that some obsession in his heart had finally been put down. "Naifei is not young anymore. She is not a child anymore. She is very powerful. She did not show mercy even when facing Tasman's monarch. I saw that you had the upper hand in the duel with Augustine. "
In fact, it was just a "Levitation Spell" that was just right …
"I, I —"
Naifei opened her mouth, but no words came out of her mouth. Compared to the thrilling experience just now, she was more excited by Roddy's affirmation of her.
"Roddy, your wound is still bleeding."
Sally's voice came from the side, and Naifei immediately came back to her senses. She quickly let go of her hand to check on Roddy's injury, but he waved his hand. "The battle is not over yet. Go and help them. Arcanists are not responsible for healing."
"Yes … Yes! Ro — Commander! "
She clumsily imitated the soldiers' response, then turned around and rushed to the battlefield with her wand. Her childish but determined figure made Roddy laugh.
But when he looked back, he found that the situation in front of him was a little strange.
"Akasha, we don't have enough bandages."
"I have some. Here."
Akasha took off the leather armor on Naifei's left arm to check, while Sally took the bandages from her hand to bandage the bloody hole in her abdomen. The two's movements were very tacit, and there was no cold estrangement between them in the past …
"That … I —"
"Stay here."
"Don't talk. Have a good rest."
As soon as Roddy opened his mouth, the two busy priests immediately shut him up.
Did something happen?
Roddy's mind was filled with doubts, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned his eyes to the battlefield.
The noise gradually died down. At this time, only sporadic fighting and roars could be heard. The air was filled with a strong rancid smell. This was because many of the undead were transformed from the corpses that had been dead for many days. Roddy frowned and immediately ordered the soldiers to burn these corpses to prevent the possibility of an outbreak of the plague.
The few Mages' Mana was almost depleted, and there was no longer a dense Holy Light spell to illuminate the area. Under such circumstances, the undead under Akasha's control became the most efficient army. The High Elves raised their swords and quickly nibbled away the fleeing enemies. The 14 Arcanists also spread out and attacked the enemies that had already fled far away with Naifei.
When the sun gradually rose, everyone could see the situation around them clearly. Sally looked at the few Arcanists with cold expressions and suddenly said in a low voice, "I feel that these elves … are not right."
"They are the undead."
Roddy's answer made Sally's expression stiffen. But she quickly thought of something. She looked at Akasha and asked, "Roddy, you … can summon the undead?"
"Uh, when it was that Ansadin — I used the scroll that he left behind …"
Roddy did not want to say that these were summoned by Akasha because he was afraid that Sally would directly stand on the opposite side. But before he could finish explaining, Akasha bit her lips and said, "I summoned them. These undead are now under my command."
Akasha was afraid that Roddy would be tainted because of this. She did not want the Rose Cross to issue a warrant for Roddy's arrest …
But the way the two of them took the blame for each other made Sally secretly clench her teeth. This Duke pouted and said, "Why are you two still fighting? It's as if I'm a member of the Religious Court of Inquiry … Hmph!"
*****
They suddenly said that they were going to crack down on pornography with unprecedented intensity. The standard of pornography was stuck at the standard of "holding hands". Anything over the standard would be considered a violation.
I think what I wrote was already very clear, and then Qidian blocked it. It's really helpless.
