This black shadow was dressed in a dark golden robe. Surprisingly, it was a skeleton that wasn't covered at all. It held a strange-looking bone staff in its hand and wore a silver crown on its head. The most eye-catching thing was the two faint blue lights in the middle of the skull. It was like a burning will-o '-the-wisp, and it made people shudder.
Race: Corpse Wizard King.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: S
Physique: A-, Strength: A-, Spirit: S +, Speed: A.
Analysis: (Clone).
Among necromancy magic, the most common and lowest level was the Skeleton Transformation Magic, which could transform skeletons into controllable Skeleton Warriors. However, there was a higher level and more dangerous transformation magic that could transform oneself into an undead necromancer through secret potions and rituals. This was the Lich Transformation Magic.
It was not the first time that Chen Rui saw a Corpse Wizard. His servant, Guradam, was a Corpse Wizard. The undead legion led by him had played a very key role in several wars, but it was the first time that he saw the higher-level "Corpse Wizard King".
Chen Rui knew that the Corpse Wizard did not have a real body. The body in front of him was just a host body, so the analysis of the [Analytical Eyes] would give a hint of "clone". Guradam once used a projection to fool those treasure hunters in Paglio's treasure house.
The current situation was extremely dangerous. The sea of resentful souls had surrounded Chen Rui and others. If they fought recklessly, the odds of winning were slim.
"Greetings, Your Highness Corpse Wizard King." Chen Rui thought quickly and bowed, "Your Highness' welcome ceremony is indeed impressive."
A sharp voice rang out, "You should add great, supreme, and unique in front of 'Your Highness'!"
It was not the Corpse Wizard King who spoke, but a green resentful soul beside him. This resentful soul's Comprehensive Strength Assessment was A +. It was staring at Chen Rui fiercely, as if this "guest" had said the most unforgivable words in the world.
"Prinz." The Corpse Wizard King's cold voice sounded, and the green resentful soul Prinz immediately shut up. His ferocious expression instantly turned into incomparable piety and humility. The speed at which he changed his expression made Chen Rui secretly speechless.
The Corpse Wizard King slowly floated forward and looked at Chen Rui a few times. His eyes fell on the treasure map that emitted a pale golden light in his hand, and he said solemnly, "I like eyes with good eyesight the most. It will be the best material for making specimens. Maybe I can consider making your skeleton into a piece of art that will impress you more. I can guarantee that you will enjoy the whole process very much. "
Chen Rui noticed the Corpse Wizard King's gaze, but he ignored this threat. He just calmly raised the treasure map, "We were guided by Sir Dragon Emperor and went through hardships to come here. We passed the test of Sir Red Pipit and Sir Lettman along the way. I think we should be qualified to enjoy the treatment of real guests."
"Lowly fellow, don't compare His Great Highness to those two useless people!" Prinz screamed again.
Chen Rui finally understood that this Prinz was a person who helped the enemy do evil and hugged his thighs. He was just like those old R-rated movies where the leader of the fake army gave a thumbs up to the Japanese, and even added with emotion, "Brilliant, really brilliant!"
"You seem to have forgotten to add 'supreme' and 'one of a kind'." Chen Rui smiled slightly and calmed down instead. The Corpse Wizard King had made such a big scene. If he wanted to fight, he could just send the resentful souls to besiege him. He wouldn't need to waste so much effort.
Prinz was speechless for a moment and was about to flare up when the blue will-o '-the-wisp in the Corpse Wizard King's eye sockets shone even brighter, "Even though you are an ant, you are an interesting ant … Since you have the complete treasure map of Sir Dragon Emperor, you have the right to enter the Tower of Destruction. Follow me."
After that, he turned around and floated back slowly. Prinz quickly followed closely, and the entire sea of resentful souls parted to make a path.
It turned out that the white tower was called the Tower of Destruction. Chen Rui and the Dark Elemental King glanced at each other, and they saw the surprise in each other's eyes at the same time. They originally expected a fierce battle, but unexpectedly … they passed so easily?
Although it was unexpected, it seemed to be the best result. If they really fought, except for Chen Rui and the Dark Elemental King who might have special life-saving means, the rest including Strena and Helor would have a hard time surviving.
The 2 quickly exchanged glances. Chen Rui bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Corpse Wizard King."
"My name is Glorios. Maybe you can call me, Lich King." The corpse necromancer floating in front said without looking back.
Lich King? This title surprised a transmigration otaku. Are you sure your name is Glorios instead of … Arthas?
Well, this is the Demon Realm. Let's go all the way west … Uh, continue to the white tower.
To Chen Rui's surprise, their speed was obviously much slower than before, but the distance between the Tower of Destruction was rapidly getting closer. It was as if this journey that would take dozens of days to reach took only dozens of minutes.
Obviously, this was a kind of strange power of "shrinking the ground into an inch". Perhaps this journey was originally only so far, but due to the power of the territory kingdom, Chen Rui and the others fell into a strange "rule" that went south and north. If it weren't for the appearance of the Lich King, perhaps they would never be able to reach the real white tower.
The appearance of the Tower of Destruction gradually became clearer. It was a huge square-shaped spire. It was snow-white, and upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see strange blood-red patterns. The closer one got to it, the more one could feel the suffocating pressure. It was as if the spire was a god that stood high above, and one had to worship and look up to it from any angle.
There was only one passage in front of the huge obelisk which was surrounded by countless statues. Many of these statues were holding weapons. Their whole bodies were glowing with dark black metallic luster. They looked ferocious and lifelike. The statues spread to the entrance of the obelisk like a guard legion.
At the entrance of the obelisk, the largest statue was stationed. It seemed to be the leader.
"Dark Iron Mystic Ghost?" The Dark Elemental King glanced at these statues and frowned.
Chen Rui once heard Tetenis introduce that the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts had powerful combat power. They were made of secret spells and special materials, which made them have the characteristics of greatly reducing the force and magic damage they suffered. Not only that, the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts could also shield the detection of perception, so it was difficult to sense the strength of their combat power.
Unlike the lamp spirits and crystal beasts, which had a certain subjective consciousness, the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts were emotionless war machines similar to the gargoyles Chen Rui encountered in Mountain Seckred or the golden man made by Rolla, but their power was incomparable.
There were hundreds of thousands of Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts guarding. They were all silent like statues, but once they were triggered, the invaders would suffer a terrifying blow.
"As expected of the Dark Elemental King. You recognize these toys at a glance." Lich King Glorios obviously saw through the identity of the Dark Elemental King easily, "Everyone, Sir Dragon Emperor's treasure is inside. You can go in now."
Just go in like this? Surrounded by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts? Almost everyone was on high alert.
"Your Highness Lich King," Chen Rui said, "Can I understand that once we enter this passage, we will be fiercely attacked by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts?"
"You said it yourself." Glorios let out a sinister laugh. The golden robe on his body fluttered without wind, "Let me tell you some interesting news first. You should have already encountered the simple-minded octopus and the guy who scares people with the mist. The souls they obtained are transported here through some channel. All the valuable souls of the nearby sea area are concentrated here. They are burned by the ghost fire every few days. They can't get rid of it or escape. They can only hate in endless torture, so this place is called the Land of Hate! "
No wonder I can't see a living creature along the way. It turns out that all the creatures in the vast ocean have become undead creatures! Undead ship, deep-sea bone beast, resentful soul … Chen Rui was horrified. Strena couldn't help but clench the 6 scimitars in her hand.
Lich King continued indifferently, "You currently have 3 choices. First, enter the obelisk directly from the tunnel surrounded by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts. Of course, I can't guarantee what will happen. Second, stay here and become a member of the Land of Hate, just like … them. I believe that before you become like them, they will be happy to enjoy the long-lost blood and flesh. Unfortunately, there are too few of you. It's not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth … "
Glorios pointed his finger at the sea of resentful souls. Although the sea of resentful souls was full of boundless resentment and hatred, they showed fear and retreated after being pointed by the jagged finger bones. There were also many resentful souls who coveted Chen Rui and others.
"The last choice is to play a game with me. If you can beat me, you will pass the final test. I can let you pass the tunnel safely."
As expected, the third stage wasn't that easy to pass.
The Dark Elemental King pondered for a moment, and he took the lead to speak, "Tell me about your game first."
"It's very simple." Lich King's figure drifted to a strange round table near the front of the tunnel. This round table was very large. There was a black statue holding a sickle in the middle, and there were various strange engravings nearby.
"Magic card game, 'Fate Showdown'."
Fate Showdown? It's the first time Chen Rui has heard of this kind of game, and it's even magic card?
"Fate Showdown? It's a very old game. "Hegel didn't seem to be unfamiliar with it," How do you want to play? "
"It's wonderful. It seems that the Dark Elemental King is also the same." The blue light in Glorios' eye sockets flickered with brilliance, "You are a guest. You can choose any of the 3 ways of playing: Victory Race, Miracle War and Death Game. How about winning 2 out of 3 games?"
The red light in Hegel's eyes flashed, "However, what I want to figure out first is how to ensure the fairness of this game in your kingdom?"
Glorios seemed to be quite interested in this kind of magic card, "We can sign a soul contract. With your soul level and the contract, you shouldn't have to worry about me cheating."
Hegel thought for a while and nodded slowly, "Okay! Since it's best of 3 games, then let's play 1 game for each game if … you can still hold on to the 3rd game. "
"Your Highness Hegel is so confident. I am now more and more interested in the next game." Glorios let out a gloomy laugh, "It's just that everything has a price. The bargaining chip of this gamble is the life of you and all partners. I wonder if Your Highness King has this courage? "
"Life and death game? Very well. "Hegel smiled deeply," Since you want the life of an Elemental King, then you should also pay with your life as a bargaining chip. "
"As you wish. If I lose, not only will I let you enter the Tower of Destruction, but my life is also yours." Glorios seemed to smile more happily, but the skeleton face looked terrifying no matter how he looked at it, "As a true fan of magic cards, I can't wait to look forward to the upcoming exciting duel."
"Wait a minute, the partners of the dark elementals will only be dark elementals." Hegel pointed to Chen Rui and others and said proudly, "It doesn't include these guys who are just using each other."
This sentence made Strena's face change suddenly. She immediately snorted coldly, "This is also what I want to say. The naga tribe will also not entrust their lives to people they don't trust. I'd rather choose — Aguile."
The rest of the nagas and elementals also nodded. Glorios looked at Chen Rui who was focused on by the nagas and elementals with interest. His smile became more weird, "It seems that there is also an interesting game between you guys. Maybe my fun can continue later."
"Let's talk about it when your life can last that long," Hegel snorted coldly.
Glorios smiled and did not talk about this issue. He walked to the round table with Hegel and sat down face to face, "Before signing the contract and starting the card game, I will remind you for the last time that the loser will lose his life and soul. Even if you are an Elemental King, you can't avoid the punishment of failure on this card table that condenses the power rule of the Land of Hatred. Perhaps your soul can be above the rules, but your elemental heart will definitely break. You can only spend a lot of effort and time to rebirth. "
"In this case, even if you have the power of the kingdom, once you fail, the soul essence in your life box will disappear?"
"Of course!" A strange symbol appeared on Lich King Glorios' fingertips and flew toward Hegel. Hegel did the same. The 2 symbols merged and communicated in the air. Finally, after reaching a clause that both sides were satisfied with, it turned into a contract with the names of the 2, then it disappeared.
After the contract was signed successfully, a large amount of mist appeared on the pattern of the round table. It faintly glowed with a pale golden light. The statue in the center seemed to become alive, and its body became hazy. It was wearing a black cloak, pointing the black long-handled scythe in its hand, and a stack of strange cards appeared on the table.
The material of this card was very special. The exquisite patterns on the back seemed to be the sun and the moon. The edges were covered with faint golden patterns, revealing a gorgeous and mysterious breath.
