: Open the can and get a prize

As mentioned before, the most popular arcane magic does not have particularly strict conditions for use. As long as you know the magic knowledge, have fingers and a mouth that can make spell-casting gestures, and the magic power is enough to support the spell, you can cast it.

But the premise is that you must be able to understand magic knowledge.

The intelligence of the purgatory gorilla is not enough to learn magic, not to mention that this thing is closer to a zombie than a living creature, so it can actually use debilitating rays?

Is this the master the Death Mage is talking about?

It's too abstract.

Pei Renli held back his complaints, but the fallen angel couldn't bear it anymore.

He was originally under siege and was hit by a necromancy spell without being prepared. He was somewhat weak and could not muster his strength.

"Come and help!"

Either the Purgatory Four-Armed Gorilla is a disguise, similar to a deformation, or there is something fishy about it.

Anyway, let’s be steady first.

Perrenli did not let Ravna go up directly, but tore up a scroll himself:

"Serial lightning!"

The crackling electric light flew out from the head of the staff, hitting the nearest ghoul, then turning around and hitting the living corpse and undead knight, and finally flew towards the four-armed orangutan in purgatory.

But before it was installed, a translucent shield blocked the remaining power of the chain lightning. Like an insulator, the lightning reluctantly disappeared into the air.

Protect from energy damage!

This is definitely a fancy job that only a mage can do!

When this chain of lightning struck, weak undead creatures like the ghoul died suddenly on the spot, leaving only two living corpses and an undead knight.

The fallen angel took the opportunity to tease him with his backhand:

"Destroy evil!"

One of the undead knights affected by the lightning was unable to dodge and was hit by the Evil-Breaking Slash.

Its armor was torn apart like paper by the strong holy power, and a sword directly split it in half from the middle.

Of course the four-armed orangutan also saw this scene and shouted angrily:

"Trash! Kill her!"

A pale and pale undead summoning array immediately appeared on the floor, seemingly trying to summon undead creatures.

At the same time, a black magic sphere approached the Purgatory Four-Armed Orangutan, and it had no choice but to turn its body sideways to avoid the heavy impact.

But doing so also terminated the more than half-successful summoning spell, and the undead summoning array burst and disappeared on the spot.

The forward swing of the summoning spell is extremely long. Even if the grandson may be a necromancer and uses some method to speed up the forward swing, it is still not as fast as Pei Renli tearing the scroll.

"Scorching Ray!"

Protection from energy damage can only protect one type of energy at a time. It blocks chain lightning, but it cannot block scorching rays at the same time.

Three bright red rays shot out from the Thousand Eyes, and the next moment they hit the four-armed orangutan's left and right shoulders, burning three clearly visible holes.

Do you think this grandson is a bit weak?

The master mentioned by the Death Mage should be him, but is that all he has?

He didn't let Ravna charge directly because he was afraid that the opponent would be too powerful. If Perrenli couldn't beat them, he would let Ravna use his teleportation ability to take them away.

Judging from the opponent's resistance, it is likely that he is only a mage of less than level 30, maybe at the level of the Flaming Skull.

Feeling a little strange, Pei Renli decided to be more steady, took off the dummy crossbow on his waist, raised his hand and fired an arrow.

The Purgatory Four-Armed Orangutan is huge, and the virtual crossbow has the ability to automatically correct its trajectory, so it is impossible for it to miss the target.

The opponent immediately put up a shield technique, and shot the crossbow arrows on it. The lightning spell contained in the arrows burst out at the same time. In a string of fine electric lights, the shield technique cracked open several cracks.

It's not an illusion, this grandson is indeed very weak.

The upper limit of protection against energy damage depends on the level of the caster. That is, the more powerful the caster is, the more damage this spell can absorb.

Even if you can show your enemy's weakness in other ways and pretend to kill him with one shot at the right time, protective spells cannot be used or faked at all.

Pei Renli deliberately poured lightning spells into the crossbow arrows just to see how much its protective energy damage could resist.

There may be some circumstances that Pei Renli doesn't know about, but since it is confirmed that the opponent is weak, there is no need to hold back.

Looking at the purgatory four-armed orangutan again, Pei Renli's eyes stayed a little longer on the almost bone-deep wound on its chest.

"Ravna, come on, there should be something inside that four-armed orangutan."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ravna's figure disappeared from Perenli's side.

The Purgatory Four-Armed Orangutan had just stabilized his steps and tried to counterattack with spells when he heard a pop.

Ravna appeared behind it and penetrated it in a circle. The next second she unknowingly returned to Perenli's side, while the purgatory four-armed orangutan maintained its standing posture and trembled slightly, and finally fell to the ground.

The ground stopped moving completely.

"Please take a look."

There was no blood on Ravna's hands, but she was holding a jar full of sticky blood.

Both ends of this jar are made of metal, and the body of the jar is made of glass. It is filled with a light yellow viscous liquid, and there is a brain soaked in the jar.

It looks like a human brain.

"Let me go! Who are you?"

The sound just now came from the structure like a heat sink at the bottom of the can.

"I just said that the four-armed orangutan has no brains to cast spells, and you are indeed hiding inside."

This is the first time Pei Renli has seen this thing. It is a brain in a vat.

In order to study immortality, the masters have used many strange methods. Brain in a vat is one of the methods to extend lifespan, but it is the worst one.

Directly giving up the body and keeping only the brain in a special container and culture medium, this technology is similar to that of human cloning.

The reason why it is said to be the worst kind is because if you do this, all spells that require gestures and materials will be unusable, and your spellcasting ability will be greatly reduced.

And unlike the brain-in-a-vat mentioned in many science fiction novels, it is not considered alive in this case. The brain-in-a-vat is a small undead creature.

"I also want to ask you, who are you and what are you looking for in the ruins?"

Ravna cooperatively put her hand on the metal lid on the upper part of the tank. If she had any disagreement, she told him, "Open the tank and you'll get a prize."

Even though there was only one brain left, the culture fluid in the glass jar was bubbling, and it felt like he was sweating.

"I'm looking for a suitable thing to use as a phylactery. We have no conflict of interest. You are adventurers, so let me go. I have a lot of treasures to give you."

Pei Renli was not interested in many of the treasures he talked about. After all, no one knew whether they were true or false, but he was very interested in the phylactery he talked about.

Although the lich's phylactery has the word "box" in it, it is not necessarily a small box, and there is no fixed requirement for its shape.

It might be a pendant, it might be a processed skull (usually the enemy's), or it might be something weird.

Moreover, the type of phylactery does not affect the probability of successfully transforming into a lich.

But people always deceive themselves, either for psychological comfort, for a good omen, or for simple chuunibyou. Some mages will look for items of great historical significance as their phylacteries. They blindly

I think this will have a higher success rate.

Perhaps the brain in the vat saw the death mage's transformation failed, so he wanted to build a better phylactery.

"What is it you are looking for?"

"yes……"

As the brain in the tank said, a string of magical auras lit up around his body, probably trying to escape.

But Ravna was faster than it, unscrewing the glass jar with a click, or in other words, exploding it.

With the breaking of the glass and a short scream, all the contents were scattered on the ground, and even the brain fell off with a bang.

At the same time, the living corpse that was struggling with the fallen angel immediately stopped moving as if it had lost electricity.

Pei Renli took out a bottle of holy water, pulled out the stopper and sprinkled it all over the brain. For a moment, it was like entering a pan of oil. The rolling negative energy was dispersed by the holy water, and the brain that remained fresh seemed to have been dried.

, and was finally stepped on by Pei Renli.

This is called preventing resurrection.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

In the end, the brain in the tank didn't say what it was it was looking for, but if you didn't tell me, wouldn't I see it myself?

Behind the wall that it ordered the undead creatures to smash, there may be something hidden behind it. The only problem is how to open that wall.

Most of the ruins of ancient elves are protected by magical power. Although time has dissipated a lot of these magical powers, they cannot be easily broken open. The group of undead creatures only broke the top layer of glass after a long time of smashing.

Perrenli wanted to control the ruins in his own hands, so he did not ask Ravna to smash it open directly. Instead, he ran to search near the body of the four-armed orangutan.
