Chapter 179 Death Banshee! Undead Servant

Of the three types of monsters in the weird kingdom, the most common are the deformed flesh and blood, the indescribable falsehoods are mysterious and unpredictable, and the hatred of the world is extremely powerful.

Lady Hecate took the pot of greed.

Xiao En did not hesitate to borrow the artifact from his teacher, and directly handed over the horrified and screaming pot of greed. His strength was not enough to torture the sealed wind element demigod inside, but it would be easy for Lady Hecate to torture him. Looking at the horrified look of the wind element demigod, he would probably have a hard time in the future.

Xiao En now only has one artifact in his hand, which is the 'Lich Ring' given to him by Lady Hecate.

——Lich Ring +9 [Weak Artifact].

——Origin: One of the lich rings that the Tomb King spent hundreds of years forging for himself. It can comprehensively enhance his spellcasting ability and provide additional immunity.

——Feature [Magic]: Extra spells of 1-9 levels. (Equivalent to an extra spell slot of 1-9 levels.)
——Feature [Regeneration]: Automatically obtain the regeneration effect.

——Features [Shelter]: All saving throws +5, acid resistance 20, fire resistance 20.

——Feature [Metamagic]; additional metamagic expertise of instant spell casting, spell sequencing, and advanced spell penetration.

——Features [Protection]: Provides a +6 energy deflection field.

This is the spoils that Xiao En got from his last work.

His dream is to become the Lord of the Rings one day. However, although every demigod lich has a lich ring, it is their most precious treasure and it is very difficult to collect. Theoretically, if you can wear ten demigod lich rings, your mana pool can expand 1-9 ring spells by ten each. However, even Ms. Hecate only wears two rings on a daily basis, one is the lich ring +9, and the other is the sorcery ring +9.

The night passed quickly.

Xiao En still followed the original plan and memorized most of the knowledge in the Star Library. This was an agreement reached between Ms. Hecate and the great sages at a certain price. She obviously didn't want Xiao En to be distracted by the Pot of Greed. A sky stone couldn't change anything, not to mention that the Pot of Greed had always been good at bewitching people.

at the same time.

Above the Lake of Oblivion, where the underworld evolved, Lady Hecate held the Pot of Greed with an expressionless face, standing in front of a waterfall that plunged 3,000 feet, and said expressionlessly, "Will you tell me?"

The Pot of Greed trembled slightly, and said in a horrified voice: "What do you want to do?"

Without saying anything, Lady Hecate threw the Pot of Greed into the Lake of Oblivion, which is the confluence of the water of the Styx. From here, it connects to other planes to form a vortex-like transmission channel. The water of the Styx is incredibly corrosive. Even a demigod may not be able to resist it for too long. If you soak in it for too long, you may also be washed away by the water of the Styx and become an idiot. This is actually similar to the reincarnation platform in Eastern legends. Even if a god is washed clean and thrown in, he will have to peel three layers of skin.

Lady Hecate said calmly, "I only have this one disciple."

"I don't trust you."

puff.

The Pot of Greed was thrown directly into the Lake of Oblivion. The next second, endless water from the Styx poured into it. The corrosive liquid filled with negative energy filled the entire Pot of Greed. The sealed wind elemental monster lord inside could be heard screaming in pain. It panicked and said, "I say! I'll tell you where the Sky Stone is!"

"Let me out now!"

Lady Hecate shook her head slightly and said in an unquestionable tone: "You still don't understand."

"The Skystone is not important."

"It is important that you do not become that unstable factor! ... Tell me where the Sky Stone is, and I will only cleanse your memory! ... If you don't tell me, I will imprison your soul in the Lake of Oblivion and keep washing it until your consciousness disappears completely."

Ms. Hecate did not expect that Master Xu would give this artifact to Xiao En. It would be fine if it had always been obedient, but if it had not been obedient, Ms. Hecate would have wanted to deal with it long ago.

Gurgling.

The Pot of Greed sank all the way to the deepest part of the Lake of Oblivion. After a while, as if realizing that his soul was being washed away again, the Wind Elemental Monster Lord said in despair: "I say!... I am willing to surrender!..."

Lady Hecate remained unmoved. She waved her white hand, and the turbulent waters of the Styx turned into a tremendous force to suppress the Pot of Greed in the deepest part of the Lake of Oblivion.

The laws of the Styx imprisoned Him, and the power of the Path of Death was enough to suppress the elemental demigod.

Without even turning her head, she said, "I'll give you three days to think about it."

"Either sign an ancient contract with him, or stay in the Lake of Forgotten."

The Pot of Greed could not escape this time, so Lady Hecate did not intend to let it out with a clear mind. She soaked it in the Lake of Oblivion for three days and three nights, and then fished it out. It would be much more obedient and stable. As for the Ancient Contract, it was an ancient contract signed by the original elemental lords and other beings. It was also because of this contract that the 9-ring prayer was born. Of course, this contract can be traced back to the ancient Dawn War. The elemental princes were all defeated, and finally this contract was drawn up.

The four elements of earth, water, wind and fire were refined to form a stable material plane. This was also because the Ancient God of Order beat up the elemental plane, otherwise they would not stay there so obediently.

Many planets in the ancient gods' era did not have the environment of the Earth, but the environment of Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury. The ancient gods of order beat up the elemental princes one by one, which stabilized the balance of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, allowing other creatures to multiply and grow.

Half a month passed quickly.

Xiao En stayed in the Tower of Knowledge for half a month, until he had memorized most of the knowledge in the Starry Sky Library, and then returned to his own demiplane.

They still hadn't found a suitable thief. The real world was not short of extraordinary people in the shadow path, but legendary thieves with such strong strength were rare. Among the people Xiao En had met, he had never encountered such a powerful wanderer. The mistress back then was only a pseudo-legend who could transform herself into a shadow.

To be honest, the alien soul he once met, a man called "Ugly Monkey", might have that ability, but I don't know how much strength he has recovered now.

Lady Hecate returned the Pot of Greed.

But for some reason, the Pot of Greed became a little stupid after it came back. Xiao En tried to communicate with it but couldn't get any clear answer, but fortunately he could still use it to perform the 9th ring prayer. The teacher said that Xiao En didn't need to worry about the Sky Stone, and she would find a chance to take it out. This involves a diplomatic issue. Lady Hecate probably plans to take it out secretly to prevent the great sages from finding it, after all, the treasure is in their extra-dimensional sphere.

Around the city.

This once prosperous city has become much more dilapidated. The entire south side of the city is a ruin. The collapsed black spire has not been repaired yet, and there are scattered rubble everywhere. The noble district has been razed to the ground, and the relatively well-preserved northern city has become the main place for people to live.

Compared with the past, the order around the city is now strict, with patrolling guards at every intersection, completely isolating the South City area and not allowing anyone to approach because there are lingering evil spirits there.

The pedestrians on the dilapidated road looked hurried and did not dare to stay.

It was drizzling.

Xiao En's figure appeared beside the ruins of the noble area. Next to him was a high-level demon hunter, who should have been transferred from other places.

"Master Xiao En."

"Do you need our help?" the demon hunter asked softly.

Xiao En shook his head slightly and said, "No need."

"Just stay outside. I'll let you know when I'm done."

——Reconnaissance magic eye.

Tiny magic eyes emerged and scattered in all directions. Xiao En's figure floated up lightly and flew into the magnificent mansion in front of him that had completely collapsed. This was the mansion of the Horne family. There was a magnificent building complex surrounded by a huge garden area. The white marble fountain in the center was full of dirty red liquid.

Some uncleanly-cleaned limbs and arms could be seen on the ground, and the stench of decay was filled with death. After Xiao En stepped into it, the space around him gradually changed, and in the rising mist, he seemed to have come to another world.

"This place overlaps with the spirit plane."

"Profane ground."

Xiao En turned his head instantly and saw a flash of a ghost. It was a middle-aged man with handsome features, a small mustache, blood-red pupils, and a pale face. Blood was flowing from all his orifices to his neck. A piece of his skull was blown off, and the structure of his brain tissue could be seen.

——Earthbound Spirit [Ghost Warlock] (Challenge Level 11)!
At the last moment of the dark blood sacrifice, almost all the warlocks of the Horn family were annihilated. They exploded into pieces of flesh all over the ground, and the essence of their blood gathered towards the tower. This was truly a complete extinction of the family.

In the weird kingdom, the bloodlines of the warlock family are often cursed. There is no such thing as pie in the sky here, and being born with extraordinary powers comes at a price.

——Advanced Missile Storm.

Arcane missiles appeared in Sean's palm. In the faint light of the missiles, the earthbound spirit was instantly riddled with holes. However, Sean did not kill it directly. Instead, after putting it into a near-death state, a strange and gorgeous gem appeared in his hand.

——Soul-stealing technique!

The wicked spirit let out a scream, and its soul was directly absorbed by Sean, and a large gray soul crystal emerged.

"Solve one."

Sean casually put away the high-quality soul crystal. The druids lacked the spell to capture souls, so the job finally fell into Sean's hands.

So as not to waste resources.

Along the way, a steady stream of earthbound spirits appeared in the ruins. Xiao En methodically cleared them one by one, directly absorbing the souls of powerful warlocks and blasting ordinary resentful spirits into slag. It must be said that the Horn family has many descendants. Along the way, he met at least dozens of family members who had warlock blood in their lifetime.

A faint sigh was heard.

Xiao En stopped, as if he had sensed something, and looked into the deepest part of the mist, and said in a deep voice: "Death Banshee?"

"I didn't expect that there are survivors in the Horn family who voluntarily transformed into undead?"

A gust of wind blew.

In the dispersing mist, an enchanting figure in a white noble dress emerged. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her long black hair was dancing gently. She was floating in the air half a meter above the ground. She stared at Xiao En not far away with a dark gaze and said faintly, "Why are you disturbing us?"

——Metia Horn [Death Banshee] [Fate Warlock] (CR 18)? !

Xiao En's expression was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The heir of the Horne family?"

The floating death banshee turned her head, the warlock's charming face was pale and transparent, she whispered: "Why bother us? We are not hurting anyone else."

Xiao En said calmly: "You are taking the place of the living."

Because of the dead members of the Horn family, the entire noble area and villa area became a haunted house.

The demon girl said faintly: "This land originally belonged to us."

“We just stayed where we belonged.”

"Why are you trying to kill them all?!"

A shrill scream was heard, and a hazy silhouette of a banshee appeared in front of Xiao En, followed by a soul-piercing scream.

——Banshee’s Howl (9th level spell)!

Xiao En's figure flashed in an instant. Relying on his powerful immunity ability, he resisted the instant death judgment of the Banshee's Howl. The next second, the ticking sound of a clock rang out, and a magnificent clock-shaped magic circle emerged under his feet.

——Time stands still (9th level spell)!

Everything around was frozen, including the ghosts of the warlocks emerging from the ruins.

Xiao En said expressionlessly: "Kill them all?"

"Who killed all the mortals in the Ring City? Who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people in the dark blood sacrifice?"

"Your land?"

"Did you create the Real Kingdom? You just inherited a little bit of the legacy."

"I can't live even if I'm dead."

"Why don't you go to the underworld and stay in the land of the living? How dare you ask why I disturb you!"

——Meteor explosion!

Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, huge fireballs fell from the sky like comets. Xiao En looked around expressionlessly, and finally his eyes fell on the banshee named Medea. He said calmly, "I'll give you one last chance to choose."

"Either you follow me obediently, or I will turn you into ashes!"

The birth of this death banshee was a bit unusual. It seemed that she turned herself into an undead creature at the last moment, so she was not headshot on the spot like other members of the warlock family.

She is the only survivor of the Horn family, but she is not alive either.

tick.

The flow of time returns to normal.

The shadow of the death banshee looked at Xiao En not far away, with a trace of fear in her eyes. She said faintly: "Will you let me go?"

Xiao En said expressionlessly: "I will imprison your soul and make you atone for everything you have done to the Horne family."

A blood-red ruby ​​appeared in the palm of his hand.

Xiao En said calmly: "Have you thought it through?"

"Will you come with me on your own, or shall I beat you to ashes and then take you away with my soul-binding technique?"

Oh oh oh!
Waves of crying and wailing from the earthbound spirits were heard.

Medea was silent for a long time, let out a faint sigh, and turned into a gray-white light and entered the gem in Sean's hand.

——Soul-binding technique!

Xiao En calmly put away the gem that turned into grayish white, and suddenly took a deep breath. The next second, endless flames spread in all directions, directly burning everything in front of him.

——Dragon Breath Technique!

The scorching dragon's breath turned the entire villa area into a sea of ​​fire, burning away all traces of sin left here.

In the drizzle.

Xiao En's slender figure slowly walked out of the mist. He glanced at the others in front of him calmly and said lightly, "Send someone in to clean up."

At this moment, the Horne family completely became history.
