"Go back! Living person! This is not the place you should be!"
Just as Zuo Si approached the entrance to one of the tunnels leading deep underground, a tomb knight wrapped in pitch-black armor made a low and creepy sound.
Through the gap in the fully enclosed helmet, you can vaguely see the pale face hidden behind it, as well as two eyes shining with evil light.
It is easy to tell from the armor style and the exquisite enchanted giant sword she holds in her hand that she was a female high-level [Magic Knight] during her lifetime, and had a professional level of at least LV15.
Of course, this [Magic Knight] is very different from the [Arcane Knight] in Faerûn.
The prerequisites for the latter are mastering three-ring magic and certain warrior professional training, which is an out-and-out advanced profession.
And after the advancement is successful, each level up is equivalent to simultaneously increasing its arcane spell casting level and warrior level, which is a typical dual cultivation of arcane magic.
When the career level reaches LV10, you can also obtain an ability called [Spell Strike], which can cause heavy damage to the enemy in melee combat or destroy the body's balance at the moment, and release a spell with extremely fast movements.
In other words, [Arcane Knight] is actually equivalent to a warrior and a mage. The characteristics of the two professions are still separate, rather than completely integrated.
But [Magic Knight] is different.
This is the ultimate magic warrior finally created after countless cruel transformation experiments and the sacrifice of countless human lives. It is also a unique specialty of Mutahar Floating City.
Rather than saying this is a profession, it is better to say it is a race.
Only the offspring of those who accepted the transformation and survived can be trained to become [Magic Knights], and they will be a basic profession from the beginning.
Their biggest feature is that they directly transform the magic knowledge that originally took a lot of time to learn into spell-like abilities, without having to worry about the chance of spell casting failure caused by wearing heavy armor.
Daily training also focuses more on fighting and improving physical fitness.
Whenever the physical strength reaches the corresponding standard, [Magic Knight] will participate in a magic ritual called "Glorious Evolution".
Through this ritual, you can activate the transformation blood power hidden in your body. If successful, you will be able to gain more and stronger spell-like abilities.
But if it fails, then the body will explode from the inside because it cannot withstand the violent energy, turning into a bloody mist.
As for the probability of success...
It is said that it is about 50%, with half success and half failure.
But according to Zuo Si's observation, this thing is definitely a lie, and it is estimated that it will not even reach one-third.
So even for Mutahar Floating City, every living high-level [Magic Knight] is a very precious asset.
Not only will it be provided with the best weapons and equipment, but a large number of handsome men and beautiful slaves will also be prepared for them to vent their desires.
Even the tadpoles of male knights are used for artificial insemination to ensure sufficient follow-up reserves.
In addition, for a long time, low-level [Magic Knights] were slaves, and they were the key products of the trade between Mutahar Floating City and other floating cities.
The Necromancer Asta has purchased and conducted vivisection research more than once.
Zuo Si was very "honored" to become the chief surgeon, and was deeply impressed by the "Magic Knight"'s unusual physiological structure.
These guys are no longer human beings in the strict sense. Not only do they have two hearts, four lungs and two sets of blood circulation systems, they also have two digestive systems.
Asta speculates that the original origin of [Magic Knight] should be that a creature with natural spellcasting ability and a human warrior were forcibly fused together through some unknown powerful transformation magic ritual or transformation.
The two hearts, the digestive system and the blood circulation system in the body are responsible for casting spells and fighting respectively.
Therefore, they can be completely independent, and can still release various spell-like abilities without interference even during intense hand-to-hand combat.
But it is a pity that since the [Magic Knights] group has reproduced for many generations, and the proportion of human blood is getting higher and higher, there is no way to trace what kind of creature the Mutahar Floating City was fused with back then.p>
But now, these things that were once regarded as top secrets have finally opened the door to Zuo Si.
He ignored the other party's warning and directly released the power of the spark, forcibly turning the woman who was eroded by negative energy and transformed into a grave knight into a card.
As expected, the opponent not only retained his LV15 [Magic Knight] career level, spell-like abilities, and equipment, but also gained immunity and enhancements to undead creatures, summoned ghost mounts, controlled undead creatures, and released and
Channels various abilities such as strong acid energy called "Destruction".
The most important thing is that this Tomb Knight's strength attribute is as high as 32 points, agility and charm are also 18 points, intelligence is 15 points, and perception is 12 points.
In addition to the irreparable weakness of the undead being born with no physical attributes, they are almost as powerful as high-level demons, devils and celestial creatures. They are all-round and powerful without blind spots.
"Interesting... is such a high basic attribute enhanced by becoming an undead, or is it a physical fitness that exceeds the limits of human beings? I am now more and more interested in the technology of making [Magic Knight]."<
/p>
Looking at the detailed instructions on the card, Zuo Si's eyes suddenly revealed a naked and unabashed curiosity and desire to get something.
Obviously, this is one of the "fascinating things" he just mentioned to Vanessa about the Mutahar Floating City.
In fact, after so many years of research and development, each floating city has its own unique secrets and technologies.
Among them, the most representative feature of Plantia's floating city is its variety of spells, especially super spells that are analogous to legendary magic.
There is also the construction technology of constructs and golems.
In addition to the specialty product of [Magic Knight], Mutahar Floating City is also far ahead of other floating cities in research on biological transformation, body change, and change of material properties.
Those artificial undead creatures with unique structures and shapes are probably influenced by the above knowledge and technology.
As the Tomb Knight, who possesses wisdom and can control low-level undead, was made into a card, a large number of low-level undead creatures in the tunnel instantly lost control and began to be affected by the instinctive hatred of living creatures, immediately swarming up like a tide.
But just one second later, they receded like the tide.
The reason is also very simple!
The holy sword exuding dazzling light and terrifying positive energy is unsheathed.
In front of it, not to mention these low-level undead, even the legendary lich will immediately choose to use teleportation magic to escape.
Because after being strengthened again and again, this two-handed giant sword has been completely exhausted in terms of its ability to restrain the undead and evil creatures.
Every time it is swung, it is equivalent to releasing the five-ring magic [Weapon of Destruction]. Undead creatures that are not high enough level will be destroyed on the spot even if they brush against each other, let alone being chopped or stabbed.
Moreover, the sword body will constantly release purifying light, forming an effect similar to the five-ring magic [Holy Residence], filling the surrounding environment with amazing positive energy, which can greatly weaken the undead, demons and devils.
Waiting for the power of evil creatures.
In addition, the ability to dispel magic originated from Casmir has also been further improved and turned into advanced dispel magic.
The Innistrad world "Moonsilver" that was added later seems to also contain the attributes of "Demon Breaking" and "Sealing".
Anyone touched by this thing, regardless of whether it causes effective damage, has a high chance of blocking the flow of magic energy, causing the target's spellcasting concentration to be interrupted.
Of course, everything has a good side and a bad side.
The biggest disadvantage of the holy sword is that when the opponent is a creature of the good camp, the effect of this thing is not even as good as a sharp steel sword.
Not only are all abilities ineffective, but the positive energy released will also heal the opponent...
But now, it is the most powerful and powerful weapon against thousands of undead creatures in front of us.
When the light of the holy sword illuminated the entire dark passage, all the undead creatures instantly shrank back into the darkness.
Only those skeletons and zombies without any sense continued to rush forward stupidly, and eventually turned into a pile of bones or rotten meat under the irradiation of positive energy.
As for the undead like ghouls who have begun to have thoughts and wisdom, they carefully stretched out a finger, felt the burning of positive energy, and then quickly retreated.
After all the low-level zombies and skeletons are dead, an interesting scene will appear.
As long as Zuo Si, holding the holy sword, takes a step forward, the group of undead will take a step back.
The area covered by positive energy is like an invisible barrier, and no undead creature dares to take a step beyond it.
The higher the level and intelligence attributes of undead creatures, the stronger the fear and fear reactions.
Even if they can insist on moving within the area enveloped by positive energy, they have no intention of rushing forward.
Among them, those who are in dominant and leadership positions, such as the Facebreaker, the Soul Prisoner, the Tomb Knight, etc., have long been hiding far away at the back.
The two sides advanced and retreated like this, heading deeper along the maze-like intricate passages under the Mutahar Floating City. After a while, they arrived at the rotunda at the bottom.
The moment they approached this place, countless undead creatures immediately acted as if they had encountered natural enemies. They did not even dare to get close and got into other passages nearby.
Zuo Si obviously didn't have time to play a hide-and-seek game with these guys, so he kicked open the entrance that was sealed with wooden boards. He saw fourteen powerful undead spellcasters confronting each other, and he couldn't help laughing and joking.
: "I thought the reason why you haven't come out to surrender is because you haven't made up your mind yet. Who would have thought that it was actually internal strife."
"Who are you?"
The spellcaster holding the skeleton staff suddenly raised his head and asked.
While they were speaking, the two cold gleams in the eyes of several other casters kept staring at the holy sword, clearly feeling the terrible threat posed by this weapon.
To be continued...
