Summoning the Holy Sword Chapter 20: Puppet Corpse Witch
On rolled over, after picking up the other ’s cloak, Rhodes only sees the true identity of the "Lich" in front of him, but in fact the other is not a Lich, but a dead person ——— Although Lich is also a dead person, both There are still differences.
The body that appeared in front of Rhodes at the moment is a young girl ’s body, but from the face, but 16-17 years old, it looks pretty and cute, as if because of long-term malnutrition, the girl ’s face is yellow and skinny, and her skin is black and black Hard, it seems to have been dead for a long time, but the strange thing is that she did not rot, but still kept the body intact. At this time, everyone also came around and saw the girls in front of them, all of which were can't help but gawk.
"Lord Sir, this is ......... Lich?"
After a while, Serena is hesitant about asked. No wonder she has this kind of doubt. Generally speaking, undead creature is meatless, most of them are skinny, except for the existence like Abomination (loathe), It's basically a bone shelf. Lich is naturally no exception. It can even be said that as a condensed body of magic power, Lich itself has completely eliminated such things as the flesh. The stronger Demigod Lich simply does not even need the body, and runs around with a skeleton head. Right now this "Lich" is thinner than the facial yellow muscle, how does it look like an ordinary human.
"Did we kill her?"
Frederick is also a weird looking next to scratched the head, a little uneasy asked. originally he thought that Lich is a terrible monster. At present, it seems that it is a personal girl, and it feels a little wrong. In the face of Frederick, Rhodes shook his head slightly, replied.
"No, she died long ago, and it was only her body that fought us."
Speaking of this, Rhodes squatted down and reached out to tear the clothes off the girl ’s chest. This action made Serena can't help but get screamed, but she had n’t had time to say anything, just eyes open wide, stunned by everything in front of her. ——— I saw only A piece of black crystal was embedded in the center of the girl's chest. Around the black crystal, something like blood vines was deeply rooted in her skin and spreading in all directions. But now, the black crystal was bleak, and it looked like a gray, unremarkable stone.
"What a pity."
At this time, Vivian also came to at Rhodes' side from the other side running and jumping, and the Fire Element Lord squatted down like this, reaching out to poke the girl ’s stiff cheek.
"Ah, what a pity, it's already frozen, Master, would you like me to warm you up and then send it while it's hot?"
"What a joke, do you think I am that kind of person?"
After hearing Vivian's words, Rhodes glanced at her.
"At least you have to wash and disinfect before you talk."
"It is Master, it is thoughtful."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Rhodes quietly accepted Vivian's "praise", then he stood up, frowning at the corpse in front of him, full of doubts. If Rhodes is not wrong, this should be "Puppet Corpse Witch", which is a technique developed by Lich. In short, Lich connects its own soul with the body of Caster through "Life Stone", and then treats it as The puppet puppet is like a puppet. But it is not uncommon if this is the case. There are many evil techniques used by undead creature to poke. What is special about "Puppet Corpse Witch" is that they can not only act as "spies" of Lich, they can even inherit and use all strength of Lich in a short time. This is almost equivalent to a clone of Lich, and its strength is similar to the main body, but when clone is destroyed, the main body will not suffer any harm. Because Lich will give this kind of damage to soul who is Caster himself to bear, but it can quietly retreat by itself.
"It's cruel."
Hearing this, Serena can't help but frowned in disgust and looked at the body in front of him.
"Why do those evil undead creature use this method?"
"Even undead creature is not really undead/not dead, even Lich like Phylactery."
Rhodes spread out both hands, started talking.
"Indeed, creature like Vampire, Lich, if they do n’t defeat the body, they will still be resurrect quickly, but resurrect needs a process after all, and they will be encountered in the previous battles anyway. Seriously, this kind of trauma is at the level of soul, and it cannot be eliminated in a while, and the enemy of undead creature is not only us, I think you are also very clear, Miss Serena, the struggle for power within undead creature has been very serious, if there is Which Lich accidentally fell out of the mold was killed by us, maybe when it used Phylactery's strength to re-resurrect, its own acres of three points had already been changed. So they will create 'Puppet Corpse Witch', they will choose those soul fluctuates victims who are close to them as containers, and engraves Life Stone on them. In this way, these victims are equivalent to a clone of Lich, Lich can pamper them to play their own strength, even if they encounter Attack and injury ... "" Here, Rhodes made a gesture. "... just like before, he can let this soul from Caster himself use it as a shield to block our attack, and he can leisurely return to his own body. In this way, it has the most Just sacrificed a puppet, but can ensure that his strength will not be damaged. For undead creature, this is a cost-effective deal. "
Speaking of this, Rhodes' ’s inner doubts have not decreased, because if he remembered correctly, the puppet Corpse Witch appeared in the game but it was in super late-stage. At that time, whether it was Battle Angel or player, there was a similar attack The skill that hurt soul is to deal with these troublesome ghosts like Lich. And the other party is not a fool to let them bully, in order to avoid their soul from being directly harmed, this created the "puppet Corpse Witch" technique. This trick also makes a lot of player feel very sick in the game, because the puppet Corpse Witch can have all the strength of Lich in a short time, so many times when player teamed down the dungeon, they will encounter these monster. Their strength and SS are the same, but they are not as well equipped as the SS, and each Lich will raise several puppets Corpse Witch to disturb player along the way. The player has been bitterly complained. According to player, this The monster, which is hard to beat, disgusting, and not dropped is the most annoying.
But it ’s not as disgusting as player ’s mean and shameless and indecent. The only weakness of the puppet Corpse Witch is that when the puppet Corpse Witch starts, the soul of Lich must be in the body of the puppet Corpse Witch, and although the puppet Corpse Witch has the strength of Lich, But there is no magic and physical resistance surname of Lich. In this process, the ontology of Lich is unconscious. So later, I learned that player met the puppet Corpse Witch and did n’t even hit it. A seal was frozen and thrown away. The Lich consciousness and the puppet Corpse Witch were sealed there. Then they slammed all the way and killed them directly. If they were lucky, they arrived. At the time of Lich, Lich's consciousness has not yet been able to break through the imprisonment, so it is naturally easy to deal with an SS without even consciousness. Even if you are out of luck, Lich has come back to play as an ordinary SS. After all, no matter if it is a multi-god Lich, it is impossible to use both heart and soul to fight the puppet Corpse Witch and fight with player together.
It ’s a pity to think of Rhodes can't help but here. He and the puppet Corpse Witch ’s combat experience are also very rich. However, because of the time, Rhodes never thought that originally should be something that only appeared in the war late-stage. Only if the other party is an ordinary Lich, if you really know that this is a puppet Corpse Witch, when the sneak attack was first made Leiya a soul imprisonment thrown over, and then you can slowly clean up. Now it ’s okay, Lich may have noticed his own Soul Acquisition, so he gave up this body decisively, and he also got the soul of this body itself ~ IndoMTL.com ~ No wonder the system description obtained is "dead soul" and Not "Lich".
But from the Life Stone form point of view, the current puppet Corpse Witch seems to be not as mature as in the future, maybe this is what was during the experiment?
Think of it, Rhodes coldly snorted. If he did n’t anticipate it, the author of this Corpse Witch Puppet should be its inventor, and this time the other party apparently also used this to prove his own experiments, and from the current situation, he and others obviously became the other party ’s perfect tester. But that ’s fine. The Lich who is encouraged will continue to carry out his puppet Corpse Witch. Of course, it does n’t know Rhodes, but there is already a way to deal with this kind of thing. If this guy continues to inspire, Rhodes Don't mind giving it an unforgettable lesson.
"What should we do now? Mr. Rhodes?"
Leiya looked at the corpse before him helplessly, and some discomfort and uneasiness appeared on the face. After hearing her inquiry, Rhodes shook his head and temporarily left his thoughts behind him. Come, then he looked at everyone in front of him, started talking.
"Take her, let's go back."
"Bring, bring .........?"
The Frederick growled, and stared wide-eyed looked at Rhodes.
"But Lord Sir, she ... is dead."
"Yes."
Hearing Frederick's answer, Rhodes nodded.
"But sometimes, there are no fewer things we can get from the dead than the living."
Next, he started talking.
