lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
. Ryan and Ellenduo concealed their whereabouts, carefully observing the nearby city of bones. This fortress of the Undead Legion lives up to its name. It is completely piled up with the bones of various creatures. I don’t know if the grievances of those creatures before they die have not diverged, or the surface of the bones is engraved with countless runes. In short, Ryan and the others can feel the powerful dark power emanating from the entire city of bones. Under the influence of such power, if the human army launches a strong attack, they will be able to maintain half of their combat power at most. The undead army waiting to work is definitely a hard fight.
After getting information from Hubert, the bloodline insider, especially a detailed map of the Bone City, Ryan decided to dive into it boldly and searched for the magic circle throughout the Bone City at close range. This plan was obtained. Drawing resolutely opposed, but Ryan finally convinced his wife, but for safety reasons, he brought a companion when he re-entered the dark sky, and that was Elendo, who had also entered the realm of legend.
The two legendary powerhouses who cooperated closely with each other were naturally not the former Andrew steel golem, which was very easy to spot. The two of them concealed their tracks with all their strength from the beginning until they sneaked into the edge of the city of bones and still no undead creatures noticed. They enter. Ryan carefully checked along the way, and it turned out that there was no magic circle as Hubert said. There were nothing more than a large number of skeletons and zombies along the way, as well as a small number of undead nv monsters and occasional blood warriors. The ordinary army that dispatched the imperial capital can also be defeated relatively easily. Naturally, it is not known that the two powerful enemies have passed the defense zone they are responsible for.
Although they were mentally prepared, Ryan and Allendo couldn't help but breathe in the air when they first saw the city of bones. All they could see were white bones, especially the city of bones. The city walls are all piled up with skulls and crossbones. They are especially horrible. Their empty eye sockets look out of the city. From time to time, there are sounds of weeping and wailing in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city of bones. Obviously the souls of these dead creatures are all imprisoned in their bones by dark magic, so that they will not be able to return to the embrace of the gods and will never be at peace.
If this is the case, it can only be regarded as cruel, but Ryan soon discovered that all the bones here have various magic inscriptions on them, but they are completely different from the enchanting skills of humans and jing spirits. Fortunately, Ryan had before Once captured a grey-robed lich alive, he also went to a magic circle and several dark rune knights. After some research, he had a little bit of dark magic. After comparing it with the inscription on the wall of bones in front of him , Ryan has roughly recognized that these are all defensive inscriptions, thought to be used to strengthen the defense.
When Ryan and Allendo observed 2 xiǎo in hiding outside the city, they found that there were very few undead creatures guarding here, only some Jingying skeleton warriors, but there were giant skeleton monsters. Like the patrol team running back and forth from time to time, Ryan understood the truth after only a little thought. After all, with the peripheral defense system and the dark sky shrouded in the sky, it is impossible for ordinary enemies to sneak in silently. This place, and the real powerhouses, such as Ryan and Elendo, came here. Even if a centurion team of Dark Rune Knights was dispatched, they couldn’t find any clues at all. That’s why there is such a situation of tightness outside and inside. .
Although he didn’t care much about these high-level undead creatures, Ryan chose a gap through which the patrol team passed and led Ellendor from the air into the interior of the city of bones. Those undead still garrisoned on the wall of bones. The creature didn't notice anything at all. After entering the destination of this trip, Ryan immediately put all his mind on searching for those magic circles, while Ellendor stood by his side faithfully, watching everything happening around him vigilantly to protect Ryan. Security.
The forces of the undead army garrisoned in the city of bones have been weakened to the lowest point, otherwise it would be impossible for Ryan and the others to carry out any actions in the city, even if they act randomly, they will be exposed. This is because this fortress is fully garrisoned. , Its city is full of undead creatures. If Ryan and the others are naturally unable to do even the most basic movement, how can they perform the task smoothly? This is also caused by the special circumstances of undead creatures. After all, they are already dead creatures to some extent. They don’t need supplies, and don’t need to care about battle and morale. If there is really no place to install, then dig one on the ground. It's okay to squeeze all the deep pits in.
The most feared situation in such a dense stationing is the Forbidden Curse attack. If you are fully garrisoned in the City of Bones, once you encounter a Forbidden Curse with a lethality covering a radius of tens of kilometers, the loss will be greater than normal combat, so The Bone City had already taken this into consideration in the early days of its establishment. A large number of defensive magic arrays were arranged in the entire fortress, and there was even a forbidden magic array arranged by the demigod Lich Jingxin. Once this fortress encounters the most deadly , Then the forbidden magic circle in the city will also be triggered at the same time.
This forbidden magic circle covering the entire fortress is divided into two layers. Once activated, the first layer will immediately release a dark magic forbidden curse. Since humans don’t know how to use this type of energy magic, So once this dark forbidden curse and foreign forbidden curse attacks touch each other, it will definitely produce a violent shock wave in the first place, and then the destructive power that is enough to destroy everything will spread out in all directions, after such a huge energy collision , Everything within a 30-kilometer radius centered on the city of bones will be destroyed, unless the power is above the legendary powerhouse, it is almost impossible to survive.
But the most vicious point is not this, but the second magic circle below. When the magic circle placed on them is triggered, the second layer of magic circle will be activated immediately. Its effect is not as violent as the first layer. It can’t even be called an attacking magic circle because it’s the only one. The characteristic is to absorb the soul. After the collision of the forbidden curse that was just generated took the lives of countless creatures, the magic circle would immediately gather their souls, and then according to the pre-arranged situation, they began to spread a plague that could spread hundreds of kilometers.
Because the first wave caused a large number of casualties, it is impossible for humans to truly abandon their injured companions. They will definitely try their best to rescue them. In this kind of mixed situation, there must be people infected with the plague and have not been found. As long as he enters the densely populated city, the plague lurking in his body will break out and begin to explode in the form of corpses, using human blood as a medium to spread wildly.
The plague distributed by this magic circle is very similar to the one spread by the dark rune knights in the imperial capital’s New Year tragedy, except that they use more souls as sacrifices, so they lie in the human body for a longer time. When it broke out, it was even more violent, enough to completely wipe out the living mouth of a xiǎo-shaped city in just three xiǎo hours. As for a city like the imperial capital, it would be a heinous tragedy if it broke out among the residents. The fate is immeasurable.
In this way, although the city of bones was completely destroyed under the attack of the Forbidden Curse, with the personal arrangement of the demigod lich, the human beings as the attacker would also suffer heavy losses, thus achieving a kind of terror balance. After all, if you take the initiative to release such an attack on a human city, it will definitely be noticed by the humans in advance. Even if the first wave of Forbidden Spells is successful, it will attract enough attention from the humans, and it is impossible to let the subsequent plague spread successfully, but When humans attack the city of bones, they don’t have to worry about these problems. It is impossible for the human army to go too far in order to attack the city. It must be within the counterattack range of the first wave of Forbidden Curse, and the follow-up troops will also be in the second. Enough people are infected with the plague within the range of the wave strike, and because of the army’s luàn, people don’t have much time and jing power to pay attention to these details. When the plague breaks out, it will be too late. .
Fortunately, because of the plan of Lich Lord Nicholas, the Jing Rui forces in the City of Bone were almost emptied by Chou, and it was Hubert's turn to patrol the surroundings, which made the clone of Ryan, who was originally just a spy for news, lucky. After getting the defense plan about the city of bones, when Ryan and Allendo successfully sneaked into the city of bones, they naturally found enough evidence to prove the hypothesis previously stated in front of Orlando and others.
Seeing that Ryan’s face was getting worse and worse, Allen passionately knew that his friend had discovered something important. He lightly patted Ryan’s back for comfort, and then quickly put his finger on him. A line of words was written on the back to inquire about the specific situation. Ryan turned around and smiled bitterly at Ellendor, then stretched out his fingers and wrote a few lines on Ellendor’s palm. This action also changed Ellendor’s face, because Ryan told him that the two of them were right now. Standing in the middle of a forbidden magic circle, it was clear that Ryan's previous guess was confirmed.
Ryan did discover the arrangement of the demigod lich, but it’s a pity that he is a human, not a god, after all, he is still far behind when facing opponents like the demigod lich, so Ryan only found the upper layer. , But there is no way to completely destroy everything here and find the magic circle hidden underneath. Of course, he even dreamed that he couldn’t even imagine that someone could use a technique similar to Victor’s magic circle superimposing two magic circle of forbidden curse level up and down. Superimposed on each other, the two magic circles are in a system that is absolutely not related to each other. You don’t have to worry about being tracked down by others following some clues to expose them, but they are so ingeniously designed, as long as the upper layer If it is triggered, then the layer below will also be launched, forming a chain of attacks, making it hard to defend against.
Naturally, Ryan can’t be blamed, and it doesn’t matter what happened to Hubert, the bloodline insider. After all, the entire city of bones is arranged by the projection of the plane of the demigod lich. Apart from it, there are only a few people such as Nicholas. Know some inside stories. The power of the demigod lich can defeat the Archbishop Ibel who is possessed by the gods even if it is only a projection of a plane. If it is not for being in another world, there is no way to come to this plane, I am afraid that the entire continent of Eslar would have been It’s destroyed. Like this old guy who doesn’t know that he has survived for tens of thousands of years, it’s normal for Ryan to be inferior to it in the knowledge of the magic circle, and Ryan can infer that the demi-lich is on the bones through some incomplete information. Part of the layout of the city is already a rare and precious thing.
After roughly guessing the layout of the entire Forbidden Curse Magic Array in the City of Bone, Ryan began the transformation work. Because humans are better at elemental magic, and know almost nothing about dark magic, and this forbidden magic circle spreads over the entire fortress and occupies such a huge area, its internal operation cannot only rely on cutting off a few connecting magics. The formation can be completely paralyzed, so Ryan finally chose a more secure method, which is to reduce its power after activation as much as possible.
This principle is the same as taking a boat. Ryan certainly doesn’t know anything about how to make a ship that can sail quickly, but he still understands the wood used to make the ship, the sails on the ship, and the sailor’s rowing captain’s cào. The rudder is related. When Ryan hopes to make the ship arrive at the destination later, he does not need and cannot completely destroy the entire ship, but as long as the rudder is broken and the rope of the sail is cut off, it will be fine. Obstructing the speed of the sea-going ship.
Ryan is busy now. This is the point. He is also considered to have a very high talent for the magic circle, although he was only used to cut off the two places from the complete nong in the hand of the gray lich before rescuing Blackrock City. The magic circle between the magical connections, he actually learned a lot of the secrets of the undead legion, and found some key places in the city of bones. What Ryan needs to do is to improve the entire Forbidden Magic circle as much as possible. Internal friction, such as mutual collision and cancellation when the internal energy flows, etc. This inspiration comes from the human world. With the powerful military and magical powers of the Imperial Capital, there is no next step in 200 years, and it has to be said to be its own internal There are too many infighting for power and gain, greed for pleasure, and so on.
It takes at least three months to deploy a magic circle covering such a vast area. This can only be achieved by relying on the undead legion’s countless years of accumulation, but if you want to give it some infighting to increase consumption, you don’t need it. After such a long time, Ryan spent most of the day and completed the work smoothly. Of course, the time used to avoid the undead legion’s ears is also included in this. If Ryan can concentrate on the work, maybe three or five xiǎo hours. Okay, how can it be delayed for so long?
After doing everything, Ryan sighed and gestured towards Ellen who was alerting him. The two began to leave slowly. According to Ryan's plan, in the next action, he will Personally release a forbidden spell to trigger the forbidden magic circle in the city of bones, but due to the hands and feet being moved by Ryan, this forbidden magic circle will not be able to exert its full power. According to Ryan's estimation, it is roughly only It can reach 70% before, although such a powerful force is still a forbidden spell attack, but it can no longer fight against the forbidden spell released by Ryan, so after the fierce energy collision, everything in the city of bones will be It will eventually be destroyed in the raging fire that falls from the sky, and the Alliance's Eastern Expedition will also achieve its first true victory.
