Chapter 2774 Sage-level Relics - Lingering Resentment

The basic magic of the undead "Resentment Dispelling" played a very strong effect in the hands of the cat witch. As the spirit and elements spread from Shade's chest, a series of explosions were heard around.

The smell of burning in the air became more and more serious, and the shape of the exploding monster seemed to be made of ashes.

But after Flora's round of magic ended, the rustling sound soon appeared again. The enemy stretched out his hand and crawled out from the ashes on the ground, and even if the witch summoned a strong wind to blow away the ashes around, soon the ashes were secreted from the ground of the village and covered another layer.

Not only that, Flora's blowing away the ashes seemed to activate some kind of power in this dark village. In the darkness that could not be seen by the eyes, they clearly sensed a giant hand extending from the ashes, and then in the slight vibration of the ground, the giant made of ashes and resentment climbed out of the ground.

In the silent and dark uninhabited village deep in the forest, the appearance of such a tall monster made the scene even more bizarre and strange. The height of this thing exceeded ten meters, but the sound it made when it appeared and moved was extremely slight.

The thing soon came in front of Shade, punched the ground, and Shade, who seemed to rise from the ground because of his swollen body, raised his fist and pushed it back.

"Curse?"

When the two sides came into contact, Shade felt the curse spread to his body, and the power of the first fire was unable to dispel it in the first time.

But there was no time to pay attention to the curse for the time being. Under the effect of the magic-courage body, Shade, whose body grew to the same size as the ash giant, punched through its body. But the ash did not have the fatal weakness of humans. When Shade's fist pierced it, the ash giant also punched Shade's heart.

Even the cat, who seemed extremely petite at this time, felt that the curse containing extreme malice immediately wrapped around Shade's whole body. At the same time, she observed the place where Shade's skin touched the ashes, and the traces of ashes stayed on the surface of his skin like dye.

The witch was about to tell Shade this, and immediately thought of another question:

"Since vision is useless in this darkness, why can I see the traces on your skin?"

"Because I can glow - Shadow Ball!"

The black sphere appeared from his hand. After the darkness with the power of petrification due to the "twisted earth origin" touched the ash giant, it stopped its original action of opening its arms to hug Shade.

The petrification resistance of this monster is pitifully low. In just a few seconds, the ten-meter-tall giant was completely solidified into a stone statue. Then, with Shade's strong kick, the stone statue of the giant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

But of course it wasn't over yet. The densely packed human-sized ash monsters had surrounded the giant Shade. After the ash giant fell to the ground, they all rushed towards his body. In the distance of the village, huge arms were constantly sticking out from the ground, and dozens of ash giants appeared together.

By canceling the spell to restore his body to normal, Shade dodged the monsters that rushed in the dark, causing them to collide one after another above his head. Ashes fell down in a stream, and then Shade pointed at the sky, and a silver ball of light emerged. All the monsters around disappeared instantly as if they were erased under the light, but the appearance of the light also caused a raging fire and loud crackling sounds to appear from the surroundings three seconds later.

It seems that the two people's conclusion just now was right. In the dark state, vision fails and a steady stream of ash monsters will appear, while the appearance of light will attract this fire that seems to be able to burn the world.

The burning flames completely illuminated the darkness, and Shade also looked down at his arms at this time. The curse formed by the resentment left by being burned to death clung to his skin and tried to burn him, but of course it didn't work. As he took a deep breath, fiery red cracks appeared on the surface of his skin and clothes, and the curse slowly disappeared, but the speed was really slow:

"How can this curse seem to be able to resist the power of the First Fire?"

In the breath, the surrounding flames and high temperatures were absorbed by the body and then transformed into spirits, which was also the blessing of the First Fire. But of course he didn't want to use the "First Fire Embers" form to fight against the surrounding fire. He just had a high resistance to fire but was not completely immune to fire. As the power of the fire increased, he would sooner or later be unable to bear it.

Fortunately, after the transition from light to darkness, Flora finally realized what they had encountered:

"This is an event-type relic, Sage-level - [Dying Resentment]. This event-type relic is targeted at a dying person, and only targets individuals with resentment.

After the event occurs, two different environments, 'Scene Hazard' and 'Resentful Evil Spirit', will be generated within a certain range around the cause of death and the resentment of the individual, and the two environments will be transformed due to conditions related to the cause of death."

"Let's talk about this later, the flames are coming again!"

Shad took out a star-silver jade from his pocket, and shook it gently. The jade glowed and extended from his palm to both sides until it turned into a sage-level relic [Star Mark] longbow:

"Witch Secret Art - Night Arrow!"

The black arrow condensed in his hand and was shot high into the sky. Then the arrow fell and pierced the burning earth at Shade's feet. So the night smudged out from under his feet like ink, and even though the flames still existed, all the light disappeared.

In the quiet night, even the sound of burning became faint. This was the secret technique that Miss Feliana left to Shade before she left. It was also at the end of the Battle of Moon Bay that the demigod witch defeated "Light Chaser" with one blow. "The secret technique of turning evil things into something."

But Shade didn't use it to attack something, this time it was used to create a dark night environment.

The dizzying darkness eventually transformed the entire environment within a hundred meters into night. So the lightless fire within this range gradually subsided, while the fire outside this range was still burning, trying to illuminate the dark territory.

Vision does not fail in the dark night environment created by "Night Arrow", so this time Shade could clearly see how the skinny ash humanoids climbed out of the ashes on the ground.

Probably due to the influence of the dark night venue, their speed was extremely slow, as if their hands and feet were held back by silk threads transformed into the night.

"How to solve this relic? Find the dying person who is the core of the resentment? How to find the other party?"

Shade asked as he drew his bow and shot an arrow. Black arrows were shot out one after another. While killing those ash monsters, he was also protecting the night environment from being eroded by the surrounding fire.

In this night created by him, not only the generation speed of the ash monsters was significantly reduced, but the ash giants did not even appear. But on the outskirts of the night, the raging fire had engulfed the entire world. In the depths of the flames, several tall figures that were very similar to the "Fire Demons" that Shade had seen were slowly walking towards them.

If this is really the sage-level relic that Flora said, then this should be the top-level sage-level relic. The world of darkness and fire is undergoing violent evolution, and the monsters and scene hazards that have emerged are by no means something ordinary ring warlocks can deal with.

The witch gave the answer:

“Killing the core of resentment is indeed one way, but we shouldn’t be able to do it now.

Although I don't know what this relic is attached to this time, but it has evolved into this, which is definitely not something that ordinary human beings can do with resentment. Although you are very powerful, it is difficult to successfully deal with something possessed by a sage-level relic without preparation in advance.

Use other methods to leave temporarily. We cannot eliminate the dying man, but we can leave this place filled with resentment through the escape method he failed to achieve. However, this will directly draw the other party's attention to us, so be careful. You need to block it for a while while I sense the direction of escape. "

Looking at the surrounding environment, we can tell that the dying person must be burned to death by fire. Therefore, there is no need to make any inferences. As the two of them cast spells together, a large area of ​​water above the night was created out of thin air, but it was evaporated before it fell.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy. Do you have a way to make a special liquid? It seems that ordinary water cannot exist here."

The cat on the chest asked again. Shade raised his hand and shot an arrow, scattering the fireballs thrown by the tall flaming figures in the distance in the air:

"If there is no water, can snowballs be used? Spell - Summon a big snowball."

This miraculous magic was obtained by Shade when he met the God of Winter [Winter Maiden] in the Silver Mountains. Although it was only a spell, and the effect of the spell was only slow to hit the target, the huge snowball falling from the sky was not affected by the flames. It melted easily, but accurately hit Shade below.

Then the field of vision suddenly turned completely black in an instant, and all the surrounding sounds disappeared.

But soon as Shade broke free from the snowball, he found that he had not returned to the deserted small village in late autumn.

Under the night, a raging fire was spreading in Gregory Village. There were screams of panic and pain everywhere, but the villagers living here could not escape from the village because the flames blocked all exits from the village.

And in the center of the village that had almost been razed to the ground, a five-meter-tall fiery red monster was crawling and watching everything.

"Very good, we succeeded! The dark world and the sea of ​​​​fire world just now are just worlds of deep resentment constructed by relics. This is the village closest to the real thing! Hold on, I will sense the direction of escape!"

Although the cat on his chest said it was easy, Shade felt that he might have really met his opponent this time.
