The task system once again refreshed new tasks in a timely manner, but Victor no longer had the time to look at them. He stared at the other person closely, and with a step of his feet, magic power instantly surged out of his body, invading the earth, and spreading like ripples. In an instant, stones turned into soldiers, and more than a dozen hideous mud shadows reappeared. They staggered up from the ground, moss constantly falling from their bodies. Their rotten and moldy faces looked like zombies, which was scary but also seemed to reveal their weakness. Liz Baife, the leader, narrowed her eyes slightly. She had actually seen this move before in the wasteland. Two colleagues from the Eighth Secret Site died pitifully under this technique, but... This trick might be useful in besieging two or three ordinary believers, but he didn't think it would work on her, did he?
What's more, even if it was an unfair victory, the number of these dozen or so... to be honest, was not enough for the dozens of knights behind her to share. So this is your desperate effort? That's really... However, no matter how much you look down on him, since the other party has made a move, you still have to fight back. Seeing that the other side's clay figurine "army" had already rushed over, Liz Baife raised her gun shield, which was taller than her, and gave the order: "Clear them!" As she said that, she rushed forward first, easily pierced through a colleague who had summoned a humanoid with a bullet, and threw him hard! Snapped! The clay figure was easily thrown away by her and hit another clay figure, turning into two pieces of broken soil. Victor, on the other hand, just watched the scene coldly without saying a word. Or rather, he was speechless. The intense pain was now permeating his body and burning his soul. The vampire's red eyes concealed the bloodshot in his eyes at this moment. He stared at Liz Baife, letting the magic power in his body burst out and continuously summoning clay dolls. Gradually, the magic circuits on his body became brighter and brighter. There were even crackling sparks of magical fireworks, which were signs that the magic circuit was overloaded and about to collapse. Lizbeife, who raised her gun and shield again and smashed the clay figures into real broken mud, noticed this scene. She frowned slightly, raised her head and looked at Victor who was hiding behind the clay figures in the distance, and narrowed her eyes slightly. Something is not right. Such a huge amount of magic power is consumed, but only such low-level and inferior cannon fodder is summoned? Assuming that guy is a summoner... Suddenly, a trace of sacred magic power flashed under her feet, secret enhancement. With a bang, the whole person jumped high and rushed straight towards Victor! So is it secretly summoning some big guy?
Lizbeife moved very quickly, or rather, Victor's summons were unable to pose any effective obstacle to her. In just three seconds, under Victor's expressionless gaze, Liz Baife successfully broke through the blockade and rushed in front of Victor. But whatever you want to struggle, interrupt me! Liz Baife thought viciously in her heart, she raised her gun shield without hesitation, and stabbed Victor's chest fiercely - although for a vampire, even if the heart is pierced, it will not necessarily die, but it will at least send it to a state of serious injury and extreme weakness. Moreover, her goal was not to kill the opponent in one fell swoop, but to force the opponent to move and interrupt the magic formation that was being constructed. However, what surprised her was—— Her spear went in very smoothly with a "whoosh" sound, completely penetrating Victor's chest and piercing his heart. The blood in his arteries gushed out, staining her beautiful face red. what? She was slightly stunned, and raised her head in disbelief, and saw Victor's face lowered towards her. There was no expression, just a cold gaze. But in those eyes, she saw a hint of dead madness. Suddenly, a low chanting came into her ears. "Use the veins of the earth as the foundation." "My blood is forged into steel." "The matrix of the world, the chaos of all things——" The low voice was calm and filled with coldness and death, but at this moment, Liz Baifei's heart was suddenly gripped and her face changed instantly! Alchemy... not good! Liz Baife reacted and understood immediately. She was furious and pulled out her gun and shield, pointing it at Victor's head. But, it's too late. Victor calmly looked at the gunpoint that was rushing towards him, and faced death calmly. "Forge it, forge it, extract it." "The final balance..." At that moment, the earth finally became hot again, boiling hot, and a mountain quickly swelled up, like a giant beast crawling and lurking in the chaos, slowly emerging from the shadows. It turned into mountains and rivers, quickly melted into flesh and blood, and finally was cast into iron! Steam was erupting, forming a magical vortex in the night. A scorching storm swept out from Victor's body. It was blood, the blood that spurted from Victor's heart. It turned into boiling mercury and completely poured over the earth. Then the earth broke into pieces. Liz Baife's face turned pale. At that moment, humans suddenly lost their foothold on this land. Facing the shattered earth, she had no choice but to retreat. Amid the smoke and dust, all the clay figures finally melted and merged back into the boiling earth. Liz Baife raised her hand to stop her companions who were ready to move, with a look of alertness on her face.
Sacrifice... This guy used the principles of alchemy to sacrifice himself... It made up for the magic that he originally couldn't perform! Damn! He violated the alchemical laws and broke a taboo - but... Liz Baife clenched her fists and suddenly felt a little dejected. So what? The other party was originally a dead apostle... "Everyone be careful!" Liz Baife quickly put aside her annoyance. Now that things have come to this, it is useless to regret. She can only warn her companions as much as possible: "At least the highest level of etiquette spells..." Before she could finish her words, the entire earth had completely shattered, and beneath the endless abyss, something slowly stretched out... One hand covers the sky and the sun. Understand it. In the endless darkness, Victor opened his eyes weakly. He looked at the task panel in front of him that was constantly losing blood, and whispered expressionlessly. “The final magic trick the Douglas family ever took pride in.” "Earth Doll Gaia..." …… It is very difficult to forge a puppet of the ultimate weapon. Even if he didn't consider the strength and only required the lowest level, rubbish version, he would still need several basic structures that were difficult to complete. One is the foundation that is sufficient to constitute the concept of "world matrix". This is different in different factions. For example, the sky is the matrix of wind, fire, water, etc., while in the earth magic lineage, it needs to include mineral concepts such as steel, iron, copper, etc., as well as mysterious hidden-level materials. This is because minerals are called the blood of the earth - an extremely conceptual essence. The second one is a magic furnace that is powerful enough to serve as the core of magic. For this, Victor chose to use himself - of course, he didn't know if it was feasible here, because the only known successful example of using oneself as a summon was the caster in the Fourth Holy Grail War. That huge sea monster was essentially a giant ceremonial spell. But the problem is that the opponent is a heroic spirit and is blessed with a treasure. In addition, the sea devil itself is an "evil magic" that can absorb the vitality of the surrounding to survive. So just in case, Victor added an inscription called alchemy when he launched the ritual spell. Forging steel with one's own blood to form the base of the scale just happens to satisfy the world's matrix called iron. Then put your own life on the scale as a weight, as the core of the magic furnace. He used the vampire's enormous vitality and his own few mysteries as collateral to make up for those unmet gaps as much as possible, but - it was still not enough! A world matrix with only iron and blood as concepts!
not enough! Moreover, even if he used himself as a magic furnace, that was a condition that could only be formed after the complete ritual was activated. Before that, he still needed the key required to activate this huge ritual spell - a huge amount of magic power. But it's unfortunate, isn't it? When Victor was knocked to the ground by Lizbeif and was in despair, he suddenly realized something when he touched the ground. Artelucci had warned him not to touch the earth, because with the "prayer" of the archbishop, all the earth would become the Lord's courtyard. It is a secret that encloses the earth and forms a revitalized area. Translated into magic, it means... it is an extremely powerful - ceremonial spell. So the question is, ceremonial spells have extremely demanding casting requirements. This kind of "domain" level spell, which is on par with the Earth Puppet or even stronger, must also require the so-called "matrix" - how did the other party accomplish it so easily? Of course, Victor could admit that the other party was powerful, for example, his magic alone was enough to distort the earth, but he also didn't forget... When the other party came, he happened to be familiar with the so-called "secret" of transfer. The earth veins run through. Isn't this a coincidence? As the name suggests, there must be a ground vein nearby. Maybe it is not that huge, maybe it is even just a small vein that cannot even be called a spiritual vein. But as long as it is an earth vein, it is enough to barely meet the standard of the "world matrix" of the "ritual spell". If it is still not enough, then add one's own sacrifice. Finally, the magic power in the earth veins becomes the "primer" to activate this well. Although it is very likely that the magic power in this earth vein has been mobilized by that old man, the earth vein is like a pipeline, and no one stipulates that a second faucet cannot be plugged in, right? So, in this kind of desperate, helpless environment, there is also a little bit of coincidence and luck. In Victor's final counterattack before his death. The technique was repaired like this... and he stood up. …… boom! ! Under the bloody moonlight, Artluqi's face turned ashen as she looked at the endless stream of iron-colored clay around her. Her originally exquisite black skirt was stained with a little blood, and there was a scratch on her pretty face. These "mud balls" floating in the air and surrounding the surrounding areas seem soft and non-threatening, but in fact they are scorching hot and as sharp as knives. The most terrifying thing is that they are mixed with a "holy power" that is specifically used to suppress heretics such as vampires. Damn that baptismal chant! Below her, Geserbarune stood leisurely. With the activation of the earth and the blessing of the earth veins, as long as he stood on the ground, his magic power would be continuously replenished. He could also pray any secret prayers as he pleased without any delay. This is also what bothers Altuluchi the most. Geserbarune is a very shameless guy. Unlike most of the other bishops who still have some dignity and try their best to maintain the concept of "school", and thus only use the school system that can be directly activated by strengthening and telepathy, Geserbarune is the only guy who uses the magic of the magician without making any changes, but just uses the activation method of the secret, and feels at ease using it.
Here, Artelucci swore to heaven that no matter how much the fucking Holy Church emphasized, those damn secrets, even the baptismal chants, were fucking considered a kind of magic. The so-called way to activate the secrets meant that there was no need for complex knowledge such as constructing magic formations, and it was enough to directly activate them through materials, telepathy, etc. But as long as Geserbarune is shameless enough, coupled with his extraordinary talent for earth magic... he can even use the earth veins to directly activate ritual spells. Even if he insists that he is using secrets, the Magic Association will not be able to say anything. Even patent fees cannot be collected. The result of his shamelessness was that Geserbarune was the only one among the 128 cardinals who was capable of forming an army on his own, was good at positional warfare, and was also... a combat-type cardinal ranked in the top ten in terms of strength. He was also one of the most difficult opponents that Altluchi had always considered. Of course, although she was very strong, in the past, Artelucci would not have taken her seriously, but now she was seriously injured... It's very annoying.
