Chapter 176 The Killing Finale (Updates with Monthly Tickets)

mummy? !

No, not a mummy!

To be precise, it should be just a bandaged "person" - it is tall and thin, wearing a tattered gray robe stained by dirt, and its head and torso are wrapped with white cloth strips. It was covered in yellow-green stains.

Only a pair of blank, pale eyes, as well as its hands, feet, and limbs were exposed. From the exposed palms wrapped in a layer of dry, cracked dark brown skin, it was not difficult to deduce what the body covered by the cloth would look like. .

Another hoarse voice came from under the cloth: "It's the enemy!"

Um?

Voice changed?

Although the voice before was hoarse, it still seemed to be sane, but now the voice was vague, like dozens of voices overlapping and mixed together, making it noisy and confusing, making people feel irritable.

Wei En stared at the weird bandaged man in front of him, and he was secretly wary, "Did you kill the Kerman over there?"

"Kerman? Kill? Ho..." The bandaged man raised his head and let out a series of vague laughter, as if there was something stuck in his throat, "Everything is an illusion, everything will eventually perish - only killing will always fall into reality. !”

Only killing will forever lead to reality?

Like a secret organization similar to the Sect of Despair?

It seemed that those Kermans were it, or they had killed them.

However, before Wei En could continue to ask, as the bandage weirdo's voice echoed around him, the scene in front of him suddenly dimmed, as if enveloped by a layer of black mist.

He glanced up and frowned slightly.

Isn't it covered by dark clouds?

Above the sky, the sun is still bright, but the light it shines is distorted and expelled by a strange force, as if it is isolating the hill from the outside world and swallowing all the light inside.

[You are targeted by Zoltan de la Cruz, Xadia Newman... with murderous intent. Evaluation: Mixed spiritual consciousness, one soul, mixed origin - rubbish, but be careful! Reward: +20 survival points. 】

20?

Wei En knew clearly that this meant that the monster in front of him was at least level one with Henrik, or that it was equivalent to his current strength...

"who are you?"

But obviously, the bandage monster in front of him couldn't answer this question - he was stiffly raising a slender arm wrapped in cloth strips, and with the sound of cracking bones, his fingers slowly bent, and his sharp index finger pointed at Wei. kindness.

"Ciel, Minnow, Sewebat!" (Kill, Phantasm!)

As it roared out the Gonzalez language in a hoarse and chaotic voice, countless ashes and blood spread out from the darkness in the surrounding dim shadows, mixing and entwining to form strange humanoid creatures.

Their faces only have vague outlines dotted with blood on a background of ashes, without detailed facial features. From their constantly twisting and flowing bodies, there is a sound like a sizzling sound like a fire burning an object.

Can't communicate?

Wei En's brows straightened out, and his eyes reflected the surrounding ash monsters, so there was no need to think too much!

The two original sub-body hearts of the Secret Master and Chixin floated out as if they understood each other, and the rune marks between their eyebrows lit up one after another.

"Psychic shield!"

"Strong wall!"

Two rune patterns appeared, and Wei En's body slowly shrank in size. His skin was as gray as a mountain stone, and his muscles were bulging and veins were popping out, making his body more solid and tough.

There is another layer of light blue halo surrounding the body, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The fourth-level mental shield can not only resist attacks against the spirit, soul, and origin, but can also dispel and dissolve all negative effects within a four-meter radius, although it will increase the consumption of mental power.

The bandage weirdo stared at Wayne with his blank white eyes, his arms slowly opened, and his whole body stood straight, like a scarecrow standing in the field, a guard guarding this closed world.

"West!" (Kill!)

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ashes and blood flowed around the monsters that rose into the air, with bits of ashes scattered behind them to form a long tail, whistling towards Wei En. The sizzling sounds were complex and noisy, converging into a desperate cry.

Wei En's expression remained unchanged, ignoring the ash monsters around him and keeping his eyes fixed on the bandage monster.

No matter what kind of monster they are, they are nothing more than an attack on the origin, soul and spirit...

[You are attacked by the power of killing and blocked and melted by the spiritual shield (god of death). You consume 20 spiritual levels. Evaluation: Oh? The original mass force is equivalent to Oranael! Special rewards: +20 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

【……】

[You are attacked by the power of killing... Special reward: Survival point +10. 】

After those ash monsters stepped within four meters of Wei En, countless blue mist would wrap around them. The three colors of gray, red and blue were entangled together, and finally turned into a crystal black light and dissipated, leaving only a sound. A shrill scream.

Wei En noticed the panel prompt in his mind, the power of killing... Could it be that after the killing intention is absorbed, it will be transformed into the origin of killing?

Or is there no connection between the two?

"Anais!"

When the bandage monster saw the blue mist that dissipated the ash monster, the cloth strip at his mouth moved slightly, as if he was very surprised.

"So you are also an undead creature?" Wei En asked coldly.

This was the second time he heard someone call him the Controller of Death. The last time was when he used undead transformation. The liaison officer who had been transformed into a zombie with the identity of 'Deadpool' called him that before going to the world of the undead.

"Undead? You actually compare me to that kind of abandoned person? But you are the same - the controller of death who was abandoned by the real world!"

The bandage weirdo's open arms slowly closed, and the empty white pupils he looked at Wei En kept shrinking, and he let out a chaotic and noisy roar: "Ho, ho, there is no need for a new Anais in the Forbidden Era!"

new?

So, there were also so-called masters of death in previous eras?

Wei En recorded this inference in his heart, looked at the crazy-looking bandaged man, and lightly snapped his fingers.

Since you can't communicate, shut up forever!

The ghost floated out, "Dip, Rocco, door!"

A huge magic circle emerged, covering all areas on the top of the mountain. Countless withered arms twisted and struggled out of the deep darkness, grabbing at the bandage monster's ankles.

"The body of an abandoned person? Hoho..."

The bandage man raised his feet, and the strips of cloth flew out from his calf, gradually stretching and extending, exuding blood-colored smoke, and instantly cut open the surrounding dry arms.

[Your shadow entanglement (god of death) spell is dissolved by the power of the killing source. Evaluation: Is the origin battle like child’s play? Haha... Special rewards: +20 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

"oh?"

Is this the first time that Wei En has seen someone resist the shadow entanglement spell so easily and fight using only the source of killing?

Then try this!

Then Wei En flashed and appeared beside the bandage monster in an instant, punching him out.

"Ho, ho, ho ho..." The bandage weirdo looked sideways at him and let out a strange laugh, but his body did not dodge.

Um?

Wayne's fist felt nothing and passed through the bandaged man's body without any hindrance.

"You don't understand the greatness of my lord at all! How can you understand the wonderful killing skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandage monster started to move, turning his body and driving his two arms towards Wei En like blades.

Tsk!

Wei En ducked away and moved near the pyramid.

But the bandage monster seemed to have expected it, and appeared next to him like a shadow. Five sharp fingertips cut through the darkness and brought out bits of ashes.

Wei En's eyes widened, and it was too late to avoid him.

Tear!

A small tear was opened on the chest protected by the strong wall spell, and blood spurted out.

"Well."

injured?

"Killing is a wonderful art, and it must be accompanied by blood!"

The bandage monster succeeded with one blow, and without hesitation, he deflected his body again, using his stiff arms to attack, and a series of sizzling and burning sounds sounded.

Wei En was dodging its attack in embarrassment. This monster was by no means an ordinary transcendent, more like a favored one like Poulsen?

And it should choose close combat when it finds that spells or original attacks are ineffective.

Experience, or consciousness?

But no matter which one it was, the bandage monster's attacks fell on his body when he had no way to hide, leaving wounds of different depths one after another.

Wei En frowned slightly, "Heal!"

The origin child body Chixin looked serious and chanted in a low tone: "Bei, Roman!"

As the healing spell took effect and the restorative power of the companion contract was superimposed, the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But almost as soon as the old wounds healed, new wounds would be opened by the weird attacks of the bandage monster.

"It turns out that you are a wizard of the Ghost School, ho ho ho ho... the master of death, the ghost, what a perfect combination! What a pity - if you want to die, you must die here!"

The empty white eyes of the bandage monster glanced in the direction of the original body in mid-air, as if he had just discovered their existence, and the cloth strips on his body

[You are attacked by Zoltan...the power of the killing source. Because your origin is greater than 500, you are immune to the pollution of the killing source. Evaluation: Stupid, haven’t you discovered it yet? It is a monster made from a mixture of souls! Special rewards: Survival Points +40, Origin +1, Resilience Level +1. 】

A monster with mixed souls?

What does it mean?

"Lodi, Mino, Amanguli!" (Killing Finale!)

Before Wei En could understand, all the strips of cloth on the bandage monster spread instantly, and two strips of cloth shot out to both sides. The tawny strips of cloth flashed with crimson light, and two red stripes were drawn in the darkness. halo.

[You are attacked by Zoltan...the power of killing...]

"Secret Master——"

"Nico, Luke."

No matter what, Wei En used the blinking spell to leave the top of the hill and completely stay away from the bandage monster.

Um?

But he unexpectedly discovered that the location he appeared was only on the edge of darkness, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him in the darkness.

"It's useless, you will perish!" The bandage monster reappeared next to Wei En with a step, and his arms were accompanied by yellow-brown cloth strips and attacked him.

"Mens, Dee."

At this moment, the charm spell cast by the eight phantom clones left behind by the previous flickering spell fell with a strange pink light on the bandage monster who kept roaring and attacking. Its body paused, and the attack suddenly stopped. The yellow-brown cloth strips surrounding its body also froze and began to shake violently.

"Roar!"

"Don't move, damn it, you-"

"Risi!"

"Sir..."

[The charm spell released by your phantom clone hits Zoltan... The charm state lasts for 2 seconds. Evaluation: The origin of Zaza is rubbish among rubbish, killing... ha! Special rewards: +20 survival points, +1 spiritual level. 】

efficient?

I see!

Mixed souls refer to the fact that there are different souls in the body of the bandage monster. Using spell attacks targeting the spiritual level will have miraculous effects.

Wei En understood, and his heart moved. His talent and spirituality were transformed, and his spiritual level was improved!

Then he flashed continuously, and every time he appeared, he left eight phantom clones around the bandage monster, and charm spells fell on it one after another.

Not only that, the revolver also appeared in Wayne's hand instantly, and he pulled the trigger at the bandage weirdo.

Although it passed through its body without any hindrance, as if it did not cause any substantial damage, but——

[You hit Zoltan with a revolver... triggering the death characteristic - disaster, which means the death progress is 15/500. Evaluation: Fight, fight, fight... Weak chicken, weak chicken, you are too weak! Special rewards: Survival points +20, marksmanship +2. 】

too slow!

"Abdel Jalil!" (Box of Mechanics!)

Wei En summoned the mechanical door and took out the sniper rifle.

Runes rush, burst, activate!

Expertise in ballistic control, rapid fire, activation!

While the bandage monster was under the influence of the charm spell and fell into chaos, the sniper rifle made a dull low sound after firing, and bullets carried the power of death and continuously passed through its body.

"Ho ho ho - Anais!"

"You, you, don't, stop!"

"Is it the origin of death, the pollution characteristic of death!?"

Countless voices came from the body of the bandage monster. Although there were men and women among those voices, their tones were all filled with fear.

Wei En didn't care about this. With the cooperation of the flash spell and the sniper rifle, he triggered the death characteristic again and again, accumulating instant death progress. In just three seconds, he shot 20 bullets.

[... Trigger explosion, trigger death characteristic - disease, instant death progress 500/500... Special rewards: survival points +20, gun skill +2. 】

[Zoltan de la Cruz, Xadia... trigger the death characteristic - death, dead. Evaluation: Tsk, you have too little combat experience, you weakling! Special rewards: Survival points +100, marksmanship +10, spirit level +5, toughness level +5. 】

[When you discover the origin that can be swallowed, should you use the soul-eating spell? 】

"Ho--"

As this shrill and desperate cry sounded, the bandage monster fell to the ground with a crash, and the bandages on his body were scattered on the ground. Then he saw shadows flying out of his withered body one after another.

They had tiny braids on their heads and similar facial features. They looked at each other sadly, and slowly dissipated as the darkness dissipated.

"Sure enough, it was this monster that killed those Kermans!"

Wei En looked at the restored light around him, and the eyes of those Kerman tribesmen who looked at him before leaving still remained in his mind, with extremely complicated emotions, including despair, sadness, and gratitude...

He looked down at the dried corpse on the ground, took a deep breath, and dispelled the images in his mind.

People without power can only be manipulated by others!

"Adagua!"

[You use the soul-devouring spell to devour the origin of Kesia Croesus, and your origin is improved. Rating: A taste of killing? Special reward: Origin +4. 】

4 points of origin?

Wei En recalled that the original reward like Henrik should only be a regular reward for director-level strength.

So, the original power of this bandage monster is different from the previous eyeless monster?

"Are you okay?" At this time, Claire emerged from the shadows on the side, "I just realized that I can't sense this place..."

"Nothing, it's over." Wei En shook his head and said nothing more.

"Oh? It looks like he went through a difficult battle." Claire looked at the remaining traces of the battle around her and saw the tattered clothes on his body. She chuckled and did not continue to ask about the battle, but glanced at On the pyramid not far away, he asked: "What is that?"

Wei En also looked at the silver-white pyramid, "I don't know yet."

As time went by, his gaze on the gold refused to shift, as if there was something on it that attracted him.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere..." Claire tilted her head slightly, noticed Wayne's eyes, walked over and patted him, "Why are you standing here without moving? Come closer and take a look."

"Huh? Oh."

Wei En came back to his senses, looked away from Pyramid, and frowned unconsciously.

He was stunned just now, not thinking of anything in his mind!

what happened?

He looked at the panel and saw that there was no message prompt. After thinking for a few seconds, he said to Claire on the side: "Do you have a special feeling?"

"Me? A special feeling?" Claire glanced at him doubtfully, then seemed to understand something, and smiled charmingly, "You don't mean when I just photographed you, right? Well, I felt it, The muscles on your body are so hard!”

Wayne: "..."

He shouldn't expect anything from this guy!

"Keke... let's go and have a look."

With that said, the two walked towards the pyramid.

But as the two of them got closer, they saw the pyramid. On the silver-white tower, weird and twisted runes lit up one after another - those symbols had no symmetrical structure, no straight rune lines and regular core nodes. , it seems that each pattern is independent, exuding a halo of different colors.

Wei En's eyes lit up, this was not the rune system he was familiar with!

"The familiar feeling..." Claire looked at the symbols and said thoughtfully, "I should have seen them somewhere."

"have you seen?"

"I can't remember. It shouldn't be anything particularly important."

"oh."

After hearing what she said, Wei En walked directly to the pyramid and wanted to touch the runes. However, after thinking about it, he asked the secret master to put a mental shield on him. This was the minimum respect for the unknown.

[You touch an unknown place where murderous intent is stored. Because your spiritual level exceeds 5000, you are exempt from the murderous dream. Evaluation: The origin of killing, ho ho, interesting! Special rewards: Survival Points +50, Spirit Level +3, Resilience Level +3. 】

"What did you find?" Claire also stretched out her hand to touch the pyramid body.

"Don't move!" Wei En retracted his hand, took her hand, stopped her movement, and said in a serious tone: "This is not something you can touch!"

Claire looked at his hand and blinked, "Then my hand can only touch your hand~"

Wayne glared at her helplessly, "If you don't want to enter that murderous dream, you'd better not touch this thing."

"Oh? You mean, the dream that appears after nightfall at sea is because of it?"

"Probably!"

Wayne nodded and pulled her around the pyramid. Except for the weird rune patterns on the stairs, he didn't find any entrance, and his mental perception didn't detect the situation inside.

Can't get in?

Or is this itself solid internally?

Before he could continue to think, the rune patterns on the entire tower lit up in the next second, and the various rays of light extended upwards, converging on the top of the tower.

When Wei En saw the changes on the pyramid, he frowned slightly and cast a flicker spell directly, taking Claire away.

If something goes wrong, it's better to be cautious.

"I remembered! I know what it is!"

At this time, Claire suddenly exclaimed, staring at the pyramid with a pair of bright eyes, as if she saw something that surprised her.

"What?"

"Don't ask first, look around to see if there are other similar things!"

"Yes!" Wei En knew what she was asking and nodded firmly, "Even this place, there are a total of five places on this island that I can't sense."

"Sure enough," Claire took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This is an ancient alchemy circle!"

"Alchemy?"

Wei En was startled, do you study alchemy?

This was not within the knowledge system he studied. He had only been exposed to the alchemy branch of potions before, but those were simple methods of processing potion materials, and they were not as magical as the pyramid in front of him.

"That's right," Claire nodded: "It's an ancient alchemy circle that only existed before the third era!"

"Before?" Wei En looked at her in surprise, "Second Era?"

"I don't know the specific age. I only know that its effect is to use a mysterious existence to sacrifice the object in the center to create a new object!"

"What object?"

Claire shook her head and said with a serious face: "There is no detailed description in the era relics I have seen before, but it is definitely not a simple thing. Judging from the height of these five pyramids, the original power stored in them is at least comparable to Director level, even executive level..."

"The final product is at least comparable to the level of Kingdom Hand - I suggest leaving this island now, otherwise we may face some very scary things!"

Wei En agreed without thinking, "Let's go!"

His goal of going to the island has been achieved. He not only found the murderer of the Kerman ethnic group, but also killed a weird transcendent who used the origin of killing, and also determined the totem power that contains the murderous intention...

"Nico, Luke."

He did not hesitate, and appeared near Willen and others with Claire. Without waiting for them to say anything, he directly put the iron barrels containing oil into the space ring.

"Willen, take them back to the Ronan, now!"

"captain!?"

"Follow the orders, and if it's too late, you'll die!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing his order, Willen quickly ran towards the port with his pirates, regardless of the disappearance of the oil barrels.

Immediately afterwards, Wei En took Claire back to the Ronan and shouted to Ronan who was still dazed: "Quick, Ronan, pull anchor and set sail!"

Judging from the Ronan's steam engine starting time, it would take him at least a minute.

"Captain, what happened?"

"Um?"

Seeing his expression, Ronan felt excited. Without waiting for his answer, he returned to the cockpit and began to operate the levers and buttons on the instrument panel to start the steam engine.

Wayne and Claire pulled out the anchor and untied the rope together.

People on other ships around them were puzzled when they saw the anxious look on the Ronan's pirates.

What's going on here?

Did the people from the Black Pearl arrive at Darkman Island?

"What happened to them?"

"I don't know... Willen, what happened?"

"Get out! Don't hinder me!"

You ask me, I still want to know what happened!

Willen and his pirates rushed back to the Ronan out of breath. Just as he was about to ask, he felt violent shaking beneath him, as if there was an earthquake under the sea.

Claire staggered and cursed: "Damn it, it's too late!"

With a cold expression on his face, Wayne shouted in the direction of the cockpit: "Ronan, how long until it starts?!"

"20 seconds!"

Ronan roared with difficulty. At this time, the cockpit was also impacted, and several cracks appeared on several pipes, which made his expression change drastically.

20 seconds?

Hope it comes in time!

"what is that?!"

"Oh my god, come on, look at the island."

Um?

Wei En ducked to the observation deck, and his spiritual perception covered the entire Duckman Island.

It was then that the five places that were previously imperceptible had been completely revealed - with the church in the depths as the center, there was a silver-white pyramid in each of the four directions, southeast, northwest.

At this time, the four pyramids were flashing with light, and a huge colorful ball of light had condensed on the top of the tower. The strong energy fluctuations caused the tower to continuously vibrate, causing the entire Darkman Island to shake together as if at the same frequency.

In addition to the bandage monster that Wei En killed, there was a bandage monster beside the other three pyramids, opening his slender arms, facing the pyramid, and making noisy screams.

"...Killing Prelude, Killing Fantasy, Killing Finale..."

"Despair, darkness, death—killing!"

"Pray to my Lord to bless the illusory world and bring it back to reality forever!"

"False, illusion, reality..."

As they sang, the seven-colored light balls on the top of the four pyramid towers shot a brilliant light toward the church in the middle, condensing on the church.

Only then did Wei En notice that at some point, the corpses piled up inside the church had long since disappeared, leaving only a deep, dark hole on the ground.

"Ronan, how long are you going to linger?!"

"Activated!"

Triangle Eyes also noticed the light beam on Darkman Island, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. After the steam engine was fully started, he pushed the brake lever fiercely and controlled the ship to slowly back out of the port.

The other ships around them that noticed something unusual also began to pull up their anchors and set sail, angrily calling the people on the Ronan "bastards".

"Damn it, it must be the red-haired captain who did it!"

"Who else but him? No wonder those people in Viren run faster than the abyss demons. It turns out they did something bad!"

"Shut up and pull up the anchor, or you will die without knowing how!"

"..."

Wayne ignored the angry pirates around him and still focused on Darkman Island, his eyes shining brightly illuminated by those colorful light pillars.

The alchemy circle before the third era...

Alchemy knowledge?

That is a prohibition clearly recorded in the Wizarding Code - it is absolutely forbidden to explore knowledge before the Third Age.

Um?

[You are within the influence of the alchemy circle! Evaluation: It turns out there is more... Special rewards: +200 survival points, +10 spiritual level, +10 toughness level. 】

"Claire, take them back to the cabin first!"

"What about you?" Claire had just arranged the people for her Queen's escort team and followed Wei En's instructions. Seeing his serious look at this time, she couldn't help but said: "How about we return to the theater now? ?Ignore them!"

"Do as I say!"

Wayne looked calm. Although the steamer had started, he already knew that there was still not enough time!

"The alchemy circle... I want to see what will come out of it!"

PS: Two chapters in one, including one extra chapter, and there are still four chapters left.
