Chapter 179 Farewell, dear mentor(2/4)
"No need. I just want you to understand that in this strange world, you and I come from the same place and are natural allies. There is no need to get into trouble over some trivial matters in the past."
Asta tried to calm down the tense atmosphere just now.
After all, he didn't risk exposure to meet Zuo Si just to enmity.
It's a pity that Zuo Si didn't follow this trick, and immediately shook his head meaningfully: "No. It may be strange to you, but it is not like this to me.
I know a lot about this world, more than you can imagine.
So no matter what you want from me, you must pay the corresponding price.
As for forming an alliance, forget it.
Because people like you who only believe in yourself are not worthy of trust at all."
There is no doubt that Zuo Si's almost indifferent attitude made Asta completely lose his last bit of superiority. He even became a little bit angry and said with a cold face: "Are you sure you want to treat me in this way? You know I am the only one in the world."
Someone who knows your true origins."
"So what?
Do you think it can be used as a handle?
Don't be stupid! My dear mentor.
In the continent of Faerûn, there are so many travelers from other dimensions that they are simply too numerous to count.
Elves, orcs, mind flayers, beholders, demons, demons, djinn, rakshasa, elemental creatures, celestial creatures, Githyanki, dragons...
Even the God of Knowledge, the God of Justice, the Elf God System, the Orc God System, and the human Mulan God System all come from other worlds."
Zuo Si opened his arms and taunted the Necromancer.
Because he knows very well that under the rules of Faerun's magic network, the once formidable and powerful necromancer can no longer use all the magic he knows as he likes before.
Instead, you must abide by the rules of this world and convert mana into spell slots by contacting the magic network, and then remember and use it.
If Zuo Si strengthened his power as a planeswalker in the process, then Asta was equivalent to being stabbed hard, and both his spellcasting ability and the number of spells he could master were greatly weakened.
In particular, some super-nine-level spells must be re-researched and converted into "legendary magic" forms before they can be used.
This process definitely cannot be completed in a few months.
Even a lich who does not need sleep and rest needs at least six months to three to five years.
In addition, various metamagic skills such as "spell prompt", "spell delay", "spell silent", "spell powerful", and "spell maximum effect" also require time and energy to learn.
p>
So far, Zuo Si himself has only learned a "spell delay".
Therefore, he is confident that in a head-to-head battle, with the number of cards he has at his disposal, he can overwhelm and kill his former mentor in one go.
What's more, when fighting in Ascatra, Zuo Si has a home field advantage, that is, he has a permanently valid spellcasting license, but Asta does not.
Once the house is destroyed and the power of magic is exposed, the masked mage will immediately appear to join the battle.
At that time, it will no longer be a one-on-one fair contest, but a "just gang fight" between a group of people against one person.
Asta has lived in this city for a long time. Of course, it is impossible not to know the rules of the Gold Coin City that prohibit the release of arcane magic outdoors, so he quickly stopped his urge to do it.
Relying on the lich's absolute coldness and rationality, he successfully controlled his emotions and showed his trump card straightforwardly: "Don't you want to know what the special space is that makes your body degenerate and become a child?"
"Oh? You know?"
The expression on Zuo Si's face finally showed a hint of emotion.
Because he has always wanted to find out where he was inexplicably transported to when he first lit the spark.
Based on his current knowledge of the multiverse, planes, and crystal walls, he can almost confirm that it is neither the "astral plane" nor the "etheric plane", nor any other known plane or space.
.
"I don't know very well. But from the clothes you took off at that time, I tested and found some very, very interesting residues. I believe you should be interested. And the viruses and bacteria that suddenly mutated in your body,
It may be very closely related to this mysterious substance."
As he spoke, Asta took out a sealed crystal bottle as thick as a finger from his test bench.
On the inner wall of time, you can vaguely see a little gray smoke, and a small amount of tiny particles emitting dark purple light.
"Is this the residue collected from my clothes?"
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be unsure.
He has discovered that the remaining gray smoke is the "culprit" that made his body and age smaller in the first place.
Asta replied with a half-smile: "Yes! I call it the Chaos Factor.
Because these residues can cause irregular and unpredictable random mutations in anything you touch, whether it is a person or an object.
To be honest, it's a miracle that you survived.
I once ordered a slave to inhale a little bit of gas. As a result, his body expanded rapidly in less than a few minutes and turned into a behemoth of tens of meters.
Not only has the size increased, but even the race has undergone fundamental changes, like a beast without any intelligence.
Its powerful regeneration ability can even destroy the heart and shatter the head and still restore it to its original state.
It took me a long time to kill it.
Of course, this is just one of more than a dozen experiments.
In addition, some experimental subjects have turned into metal, plants, rocks, burning flames, or even suddenly aged and died, etc.
The most interesting one even showed the strange scene of the soul being separated from the body, but still alive.
Unfortunately, the number of these residues is so rare that it is impossible to conduct too many experiments.
What you see now is the last one left."
"What do I need to pay if I want to get it?" Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked.
There is no doubt that this residue has extraordinary significance to him, and it is also the only clue that can solve the doubts in his heart.
"I want the magical knowledge of this world, as well as all the information about the magic network, and all the spells you currently have. In addition, you must provide a list of powerful spellcasters in this world who need extra attention.
, including their details."
Asta opened his mouth like a lion.
After hearing these requests, Zuo Si immediately refused without hesitation: "You are dreaming! I will never agree to such a completely unequal transaction."
"Then you don't want the contents of this bottle?" Asta threatened with a chuckle.
"Of course I want it. But the problem is, you overestimated the importance of this thing in my mind. And... I now have a better idea, that is, just grab it."
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si suddenly activated a scroll hidden in his wide sleeves.
Instantly!
Asta was hit by the [Dimensional Anchor] and was completely unable to use any means of teleportation.
The next second...
Zuo Si directly activated four [Advanced Combat Undead] cards and four [Scorching Glory (three-ring magic) that he held tightly in his other hand, gathering sacred energy like the sun to burn the target, and has a higher effect on undead creatures.
additional additional damage)].
Before the Necromancer had time to react, dazzling positive energy rays surrounded him, instantly causing astonishing damage to the Lich's body filled with negative energy.
You must know that the damage limit of any spell made into a card is directly linked to the planeswalker level, not the mage professional level.
This also means that under the premise that the planeswalker level is currently as high as LV7, the power of any damaging spell will increase exponentially.
Although the [Accident Technique] was immediately triggered on the latter, a layer of silver reflective energy sphere immediately enveloped Asta.
It's a pity that this four-ring protection magic [Inferior Spell Invalid Barrier] that can block one to three-level spell attacks takes effect too slowly.
Through the magic barrier, you can clearly see that the necromancer's lich body has been severely damaged.
Some skin and muscles that originally looked no different from normal people have suffered from large-scale ulcers, and even the bones inside have been broken.
Especially on that face, the eyeball in one of the eye sockets was completely blown out, and the other one was connected to the optic nerve and drooped to the side of the nose. It looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Without a doubt!
With just one blow, Zuo Si almost killed this powerful necromancer that he could only look up to.
Similarly, Asta was also frightened by this attack that neither chanted a spell nor cast any spells, and directly activated all the magic protection on his body.
In just a few seconds, his whole body was flashing with arcane light that could blind people.
Zuo Si didn't have the slightest intention to stop him, but stood there and let the other party complete all the protection, and then said expressionlessly: "Last chance. Give me what you have in your hand. Otherwise I will
Kill you, then find your phylactery and destroy it. Don’t forget, I am the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease. I can get the information and clues I need by directly asking the god."
"Damn it! What spell did you use just now? Why didn't I have time to react to the [accident spell] I set?" Asta asked through gritted teeth.
As a new lich, this was the first time he experienced being attacked by positive energy spells that restrained undead creatures.
The indescribable pain awakened the fear of death deep in my heart on the spot.
"[Advanced Combat Undead] and [Scorching Glory], two insignificant three-ring magics. How do you feel? Do you feel that you are only one step away from death?" Zuo Si's mouth raised slightly.
To be continued...
