At the same instant the Nadage Spell Staff snapped, the soul of the Necromancer Nadage shuddered, falling into a weakened state.
"Despicable, treacherous human, I curse you in the name of death!" Nadage roared in anger. He had barely managed to find a chance to escape the sealing formation, yet he never expected the situation to suddenly take such a turn. He had concentrated all of his soul power into the Nadage Spell Staff, and with Nie Yan's help, used the staff's power to destroy the Stones of Holy Light. Nie Yan's sword strike, severing the Nadage Spell Staff, was equivalent to cutting away most of his power.
Sensing the Necromancer Nadage's weakness, Nie Yan was overjoyed. His gamble had paid off!
When he entered the barrier, Nie Yan felt the Nadage Spell Staff's agitation. Just now, his life had hung by a thread. Nadage could have killed him at any moment. If Nie Yan had made even the slightest move, he would have been killed. He could only quietly wait for an opportunity. If he hadn't followed Nadage's command to destroy the Stones of Holy Light, he would already be dead.
If you want to make someone fall, you must first let them go mad. Nie Yan followed the Necromancer Nadage's instructions, destroying two Stones of Holy Light, causing Nadage to fall into a state of ecstasy, relaxing his vigilance. Only then did Nie Yan have the chance to chop off the spell staff with his sword.
What a pity about this Legendary-grade Fragment staff!
In that instant when the Necromancer Nadage was weakened, Nie Yan suddenly erupted, lunging towards him. He swung the Zennarde's Sword in his hand and simultaneously cast a Divine Blessing skill on himself.
The Necromancer Nadage was a magic-based class, and Divine Blessing could grant immunity to magic damage!
Seeing Nie Yan rushing over, the Necromancer Nadage uttered several obscure syllables in a low voice, and a powerful curse swept towards Nie Yan.
However, that power rapidly dissipated after touching Nie Yan. The curse was ineffective.
Forced close by Nie Yan, Nadage's face revealed a panicked expression, but it was already too late.
Zennarde's Sword slashed down unimpeded, striking the Necromancer Nadage's chest, and two ribs snapped with a crisp sound.
The Necromancer Nadage's body was unexpectedly so weak. This was somewhat beyond Nie Yan's expectations. It seemed that destroying the spell staff had caused him great harm.
After the Necromancer Nadage's ribs broke, a beating heart was exposed within. This was his weakness! Necromancers were originally humans, but they constantly pursued the power of death, transforming their bodies into undead. Before becoming liches, they were still unable to escape the category of humans.
Nie Yan thrust his sword in. With a *poof*, crimson blood splattered everywhere.
The Necromancer Nadage let out a shrill scream. Waves of powerful death aura scattered in all directions, striking Nie Yan and sending him flying.
The surrounding Stones of Holy Light grew increasingly dazzling. These white beams slowly dissolved the death aura. All the Stones of Holy Light exploded, and the entire stone chamber trembled violently. Cracks instantly spread throughout the stone chamber, scattering like a spiderweb.
The Necromancer Nadage ran out of power and slowly collapsed to the ground. Everything finally calmed down.
Nie Yan checked his own health. It was still around 20%. Fortunately, the previous death aura was mostly magic-based, and Divine Blessing had blocked it. Only a portion was physical damage.
System: You have killed the Necromancer Nadage, gaining 2,186,578 experience points. Take the Necromancer Nadage's shattered staff to High Overlord Rexpeel. He will give you some surprises.
Rays of white light shone on Nie Yan. He checked his level and was already level sixty-six. The abundance of experience from this quest made Nie Yan very excited.
Opening the quest progress, the quest to kill the Necromancer Nadage was complete.
Nie Yan walked over to the Necromancer Nadage's corpse and searched beneath it, finding the Spirit Charm, as well as a black blueprint. He didn't know what it was.
Finally got it! Nie Yan was excited. He looked at the Spirit Charm's specific method of use.
Spirit Charm (Legendary Item): Special item. After using this item, you can summon the fleshly body of a Crypt Lord, lasting three hours. Skill cooldown is sixty natural days. Crypt Lord: Level 100 Lord, HP 200,000,000/200,000,000.
Usage Requirements: 20 Archmages, 3 Spirit Vessels, 1 Soul Essence, 1 Magic Array.
Below was a detailed introduction to the method of use. Regarding the usage requirements, Nie Yan had already obtained two of the three Spirit Vessels. For the 1 Soul Essence, Bennett's Soul Essence would suffice. As for the requirement of 20 Archmages, if he gathered all the Archmages from the Galan Temple, the Holy Roman Empire, the War God Tribe, and the Berserker Alliance, he could barely make up the number. As for the magic array, Nie Yan looked at the black blueprint. A complex hexagram array was depicted on it, very regular.
When summoning the Crypt Lord, it was necessary to find an Archmage proficient in magic arrays to enlarge the array by a hundred times according to the proportions, and then have the three Archmages with the most abundant magic power among the 20 Archmages hold the Spirit Vessels, chanting for an hour without interruption to summon the Crypt Lord.
After summoning the Crypt Lord, the 20 Archmages had to continuously output magic power to ensure that the Crypt Lord existed in this space. If the casting process was disturbed and the spell interrupted, the Crypt Lord would return to another dimension, and it would take sixty natural days to summon him again.
This Spirit Charm was now fully cooled down. The only missing condition was the remaining Spirit Vessel, Finas' Poison Sac!
Nie Yan gathered these things together and placed them in a corner of his bag. These things needed to be treated with caution. If he could really summon the Crypt Lord, using it well would definitely be a weapon of mass destruction.
He didn't know if others had similar items. Although the possibility was very small, he had to guard against it.
Nie Yan suddenly discovered that in his status bar, in addition to the "Justice" status, he also had a "Courage" status. This was the reward for killing the Legendary Mage Nadage.
Nie Yan needed to explore the uses of these two statuses bit by bit.
Searching the stone chamber, he found nothing else. Nie Yan returned the way he came and left the cave.
Bennett's Soul Essence did not reappear. The explosion of the Stones of Holy Light had had some impact on it. Without the guidance of Bennett's Soul Essence, he would not be able to find the remaining Spirit Vessel at all.
Looking at the time, it was about time to leave this place and meet with Mad Rogue Warblade.
Nie Yan couldn't use a Return Scroll, so he could only walk back the way he came. It took him nearly an hour and a half to get out of the island, and then he rode the Giant Bat back to the flying point.
After coming out of the flying point, Nie Yan summoned the Faulkner Warhorse and galloped towards Bone Tooth Town.
After twenty minutes, Bone Tooth Town was already faintly visible in the distance. Similar to Graveyard Town, Bone Tooth Town was surrounded by a large plain, dotted with tombstones everywhere. This was a vast cemetery. Carrion birds occasionally flew across the dark sky.
Nie Yan walked towards Bone Tooth Town, then used the skill on the Necklace of the Deceiver to switch factions.
Passing by two Skeleton Guards, Nie Yan entered Bone Tooth Town.
This place was obviously not as prosperous as Graveyard Town. Only a few players occasionally passed by on the narrow streets. Nie Yan found a place, spread out a cloth, and set up a stall to sell things, while waiting for Mad Rogue Warblade to come over.
Nie Yan had killed at least several hundred players along the way, and his equipment was packed full in several bags. He simply took out a portion and put them out for sale. Anyway, it was a boring wait, so 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 forty or above. Everyone was relatively wealthy, plus the equipment Nie Yan put out had decent stats and cheap prices, so he quickly sold a lot. Roughly calculated, he had about two or three thousand gold coins.
After a few hours, the things in his bag were almost cleared out. Mad Rogue Warblade finally appeared on time.
He quickly recognized Nie Yan and gave him a wink. The two walked towards the town's tavern.
The two sat down in a corner of the tavern. Mad Rogue Warblade said softly, "We have to be careful. Recently, our Fallen Angel is at war with several other guilds, and some people are watching me. Our boss can't come over. 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 both of these thieves were Grand Thieves.
Mad Rogue Warblade glanced at those two people and said, "Those two are Grand Thieves from the opposing guild of our Fallen Angel. Let's use private chat. Be careful when leaving the town later, don't get followed."
Nie Yan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that easy to follow me."
Mad Rogue Warblade teased, "I was overthinking it." With Nie Yan's skills, it was indeed unlikely that he would be tracked.
"By 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 of his transaction with Fallen Angel.
"Don't worry, that thief has already been controlled by us," Mad Rogue Warblade said. Naturally, they wouldn't keep such a threat around.
Nie Yan asked, "Did you bring all the equipment?"
Mad Rogue Warblade nodded and traded all the equipment Nie Yan needed to him, as well as a batch of Death Ripple Scrolls.
"How well did that batch of equipment sell?" 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.
