Chapter 453 Psychic Beast - Undermaster (15th Update Complete, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
As Nadage's Cursing Staff shattered, the soul of the Necromancer Nadage trembled, falling into a weakened state.
"Despicable, treacherous human, I curse you in the name of death!" Nadage roared in anger. He had finally found a chance to break free from the sealing formation, but he hadn't expected such a sudden twist. He had concentrated all his soul power into the Nadage Cursing Staff. With Nie Yan's help, he used the power of the staff to destroy the Holy Light Stones. But Nie Yan's sword struck down, severing the staff, effectively cutting off a large portion of his power.
Feeling the Necromancer Nadage's weakness, Nie Yan was overjoyed. His gamble had paid off!
When he entered the barrier, Nie Yan had sensed the agitation of the Cursing Staff. He had been on the verge of death just moments ago. Nadage could have killed him at any time. Any slight movement from Nie Yan would have been fatal. He could only quietly wait for an opportunity. If he hadn't obeyed Nadage's order to destroy the Holy Light Stones, he would already be dead.
If you want to destroy someone, first make them mad. Nie Yan followed the Necromancer Nadage's instructions, destroying two Holy Light Stones, sending Nadage into a frenzy of joy and relaxing his vigilance. This gave Nie Yan the chance to chop off the Cursing Staff with a single strike.
What a pity about that Legendary-Fragment grade staff!
In the instant that the Necromancer Nadage weakened, Nie Yan suddenly erupted, lunging towards him. He swung the Zennarde's Sword, simultaneously casting Divine Blessing on himself.
The Necromancer Nadage was a magic-based class, and Divine Blessing could nullify magic damage!
Seeing Nie Yan rushing towards him, the Necromancer Nadage uttered a few obscure syllables. A powerful curse swept over Nie Yan.
However, the power dissipated quickly after touching Nie Yan. The curse was ineffective.
Forced into a corner by Nie Yan, a look of panic appeared on Nadage's face, but it was too late.
The Zennarde's Sword slashed down unimpeded, striking the Necromancer Nadage's chest, and two ribs snapped with a *crack*.
The Necromancer Nadage's body was so weak, it was somewhat unexpected. It seemed the destruction of the Cursing Staff had greatly damaged him.
After the Necromancer Nadage's ribs broke, a beating heart was revealed inside. This was his weakness! Necromancers were originally humans who constantly pursued the power of death, turning their bodies into undead. Before becoming a lich, they were still unable to escape the confines of humanity.
Nie Yan thrust his sword in, and with a *poof*, crimson blood sprayed everywhere.
The Necromancer Nadage let out a shrill scream. Powerful waves of death energy scattered in all directions, slamming into Nie Yan and sending him flying.
The surrounding Holy Light Stones shone even brighter, and the beams of white light slowly dissolved the death energy. All the Holy Light Stones exploded, and the entire stone chamber trembled violently, instantly covered in cracks that spread out like spiderwebs.
The Necromancer Nadage's power was exhausted, and he slowly fell to the ground. Everything finally calmed down.
Nie Yan checked his health, which was only about 20% remaining. Luckily, the death energy attack was mostly magical in nature and had been blocked by Divine Blessing. Only a portion of it was physical damage.
System: You have slain the Necromancer Nadage, gaining 2,186,578 experience points. Take the Necromancer Nadage's broken staff to High Overlord Brexspier. He will have a surprise for you.
Rays of white light flashed across Nie Yan's body. He checked his level. He was now Level 66. The experience from this quest was so generous that Nie Yan was ecstatic.
He opened the quest log. The quest to kill the Necromancer Nadage was complete.
Nie Yan walked towards the Necromancer Nadage's corpse and searched beneath it. He found the Summoning Charm and a black blueprint. He didn't know what it was.
Finally, he had it. Nie Yan was excited. He looked at the specific instructions for using the Summoning Charm.
Summoning Charm (Legendary Item): Special Item. After using this item, you can summon the body of a Crypt Lord, lasting for three hours. Skill cooldown: 60 natural days. Crypt Lord: Level 100 Lord, HP 20,000,000/20,000,000.
Usage Requirements: 20 Archmages, 3 Spirit Objects, 1 Essence, 1 Magic Array.
Below were detailed instructions. Regarding the usage requirements, Nie Yan had already obtained two of the three Spirit Objects. For the one Essence, Bennet's Essence would suffice. It required 20 Archmages. If he gathered all those from the Galan Temple, the Holy Roman Empire, the Tribes of War, and the War狂Alliance, he could barely scrape them together. As for the Magic Array, Nie Yan looked at the black blueprint. It depicted a complex, meticulously drawn hexagram array.
When summoning the Crypt Lord, he needed to find an Archmage proficient in Magic Arrays to enlarge the array a hundredfold and set it up. Then, three of the 20 Archmages with the most abundant mana would hold the Spirit Objects and chant for an hour to summon the Crypt Lord. The process could not be interrupted.
After summoning the Crypt Lord, the 20 Archmages had to continuously output mana to ensure that the Crypt Lord remained in this space. If the casting process was disturbed and the spell interrupted, the Crypt Lord would return to the other dimension, and he would have to wait 60 natural days to summon it again.
The Summoning Charm's cooldown was now complete. The only missing condition was the remaining Spirit Object, Finaas' Venom Sac!
Nie Yan gathered these items and put them in a corner of his backpack. These items needed to be handled with care. If he could really summon the Crypt Lord, it would definitely be a weapon of mass destruction if used properly.
He wondered if others had similar items. Although the possibility was small, he couldn't be too careful.
Nie Yan suddenly noticed that in addition to the 'Justice' status, he had an additional status attribute, 'Courage.' This was a reward for killing the Legendary Magister Nadage.
Nie Yan needed to explore the uses of these two statuses little by little.
After searching the stone chamber and finding nothing else, Nie Yan returned the way he came and left the cave.
Bennet's Essence didn't appear again. The explosion of the Holy Light Stones had affected it somewhat. Without Bennet's Essence to guide him, he couldn't find the remaining Spirit Object at all.
He looked at the time. It was almost time to leave this place and meet with Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang.
Nie Yan couldn't use a Town Return Scroll, so he could only walk back the way he came. It took him almost an hour and a half to get off the island. He rode the Giant Bat back to the flying point.
After leaving the flying point, Nie Yan summoned the Faulkner Warhorse and galloped towards Bone Tooth Town.
After twenty minutes, Bone Tooth Town was faintly visible in the distance. Similar to Graveyard Town, Bone Tooth Town was surrounded by large plains covered in tombstones. It was a vast graveyard. Carrion birds occasionally flew across the dark sky.
Nie Yan walked towards Bone Tooth Town, then used the skill on the Deceiver's Necklace to switch factions.
He passed by two Skeleton Guards and entered Bone Tooth Town.
It was clearly not as prosperous as Graveyard Town. Only a few players occasionally passed by on the narrow streets. Nie Yan found a spot, spread out a cloth, and set up a stall to sell things, while waiting for Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang to arrive.
Nie Yan had killed at least a few hundred players along the way, and his equipment was packed full in several backpacks. He simply took out some of it and put it on display for sale. Since he was bored while waiting, he might as well earn some money.
There weren't many people in this town, only about a hundred coming and going, but the players active here were at least Level 40 and above. Everyone was relatively wealthy, and the equipment Nie Yan was selling had good attributes and low prices, so he quickly sold a lot of it. Roughly calculated, he had made two or three thousand gold coins.
After several hours, the items in his backpack were almost cleared out. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang finally appeared on time.
He quickly recognized Nie Yan and winked at him. The two walked towards the town's tavern.
The two sat down in a corner of the tavern. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang whispered, "We need to be careful. Recently, our Fallen Angel has been at war with a few other guilds. Some people are watching me. Our boss can't come. The target is too obvious."
Nie Yan nodded. As long as they traded carefully, there shouldn't be any problems.
Just then, two Thieves wearing black leather armor walked in and sat down at a table on the other side.
Nie Yan noticed that these two Thieves were both Grand Thieves.
Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang glanced at the two and said, "Those two are Grand Thieves from a hostile guild to our Fallen Angel. We'll use private chat. Be careful not to be followed when we leave town later."
Nie Yan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, it's not that easy to follow me."
Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang joked, "I was overthinking it." With Nie Yan's skills, it was indeed unlikely that he would be tracked.
"Near the Lava Sea, I killed that Thief from your guild named Les. Will there be any problems?" Nie Yan was worried that Les would reveal some details about his transaction with Fallen Angel.
"Don't worry, that Thief has been taken care of by us," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. Naturally, they wouldn't keep such a threat around.
Nie Yan asked, "Did you bring all the equipment?"
Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang nodded, traded all the equipment Nie Yan needed to him, as well as a portion of Death Ripple Scrolls.
"How did the sale of that batch of equipment go?" Nie Yan asked with a smile. Fallen Angel should have made a lot of money.
"It's all cleared out. This money has solved our urgent needs."
Both sides were making a profit, so this cooperation could continue. It seemed that Fallen Angel was very satisfied with the cooperation.
