This is a trap carefully laid by the owner of the Abomination Workshop. He uses armor that cannot move at the door of other rooms to paralyze the enemy. When they reach the door of the real target room, they will no longer be on guard, so they will definitely be attacked.
Jackson is an example. It failed to avoid the assassination and was shot. Fortunately, it was a ghoul. If it were an ordinary human, it would definitely be killed.
The armored knight's gun is smeared with camouflage and looks unremarkable, but its lethality is comparable to that of an excellent weapon.
"Save me, Master!" Jackson roared and used all his strength to break free. Unfortunately, the armored knight was obviously stronger than it. The knight's gun poked out more than a dozen spears and pierced its breastplate.
.
There are a total of sixty-two constructed armored knights. Their strength is probably around the second level of the soul, but their defensive power is too good.
Bang, Downton knocked the head of a construct away and cut a crack in its breastplate, but it continued to fight without being affected at all.
Giant slaying!
Downton's violent combos disintegrated a construct and threw it out. However, in the blink of an eye, those fragmented parts seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, as if they were sewn together, and they were restored again.
"Why can't it be killed? Which part is the weak point?" Hutao crushed a construct, but it was still useless.
"Wait a minute!" A green plane light was emitted from the magic book, from head to toe, like a scanner, detecting magic on it.
The ghouls formed an arc to protect Celeste.
The Death Banshee's arcane missiles landed in the middle of the constructs. Although they were riddled with holes and tattered, they were still able to move without any damage.
"The core of the soul is on the inner thigh." Homer is worthy of being an ancient grimoire, and he lives up to expectations. He found the monster's flaw in just thirty seconds.
This type of constructs are all carved with secret techniques and concocted with magic potions. There is a soul core on the body. If it is not destroyed, they will always recover. Even if the existing body is destroyed, the soul core will be retained.
.It will also automatically find a new body and complete the resurrection.
It was indeed a relatively hidden position. Downton dismantled a construct, and before the leg armor ran away, he pierced it with a knife and forcibly cut it open. Then he saw the inside near the crook of the leg.
A palm-sized hexagonal magic circle.
Boom, the saber stabbed in. The armor parts that were still gathering fell apart immediately.
Downton's team is lucky. Even though the combat effectiveness of these constructed armored knights is average, without Homer's presence, these constructs will be reorganized again and again, and the pairing will consume the team to death, and the kind of don't know where to start.
A blow that kills them will seriously reduce morale and confidence.
This is the case when conquering secret realms. Sometimes force does not necessarily determine everything. Wisdom and experience are also necessary elements.
Having found the cracking point, it was much easier for everyone to create murderous structures, and the team finally regained the advantage in the battle.
"The mysterious master has even built a hate workshop. It is not difficult to make some soul constructs." Homer was not surprised by this, but felt deeply worried. If the other party appeared, what would Downton do to fight with them?
?
After killing the construct, Jackson opened the door at Downton's signal. As expected, there was a metal door inside, locked with three magic locks.
"Homer, I leave it to you."
For Homer, cracking the magic lock is just a matter of time.
"Did you see any details?" While waiting, Downton was not as bored as Walnut and Celes, but continued to think, "Are they the same type as the magic locks on the armory and bank vault?"
"Unfortunately, they are the same kind." The big bronze hand pushed open the metal door and projected text at the same time. "It is certain that the dungeon already has a mysterious master. That guy may be practicing in the mana well!"
"Wait, could it be that he went out? Don't forget the teleportation array leading to the Crow Ridge Cemetery."
He could transform the cathedral into an abomination workshop without anyone noticing, and even let a giant skeletal dragon guard the door. Even if Downton thought on his knees, he knew that the strength of the mysterious master was definitely above the dragon-slaying level.
"Maybe." Homer urged everyone to move forward quickly.
With the door open, the room looked like a stripped-down young prostitute at the mercy of Downton.
"Illumination!"
Upon hearing Downton's instructions, Celes fired three fist-sized light balls toward the ceiling, illuminating the entire room.
All the scenery is in front of everyone's view. This is a storage room. An area the size of a basketball court is filled with rows of steel stands. On top of them, there are half a meter in diameter and two meters in height.
glass container.
"What is this?" Walnut walked to a large glass bottle, which was filled with light green solution and soaked with wool-like creatures. They were entangled together to form a sphere, like a heart, slowly
It beats like it's breathing.
"How disgusting!" Every time it jumped, there would be some gurgling bubbles, and Celes thought they looked like earthworms.
"It's magic thread sutures, necessary to sew corpse fragments into abominations." Homer scanned it with magic detection and found that there were a thousand glass bottles, and the magic threads in reserve were enough to sew five hundred abominations.
.
"Huh? These are living things, right? They are obviously alive, how could they be threads?" Although she is a death banshee, Celes lacks knowledge about the undead clan.
"They are originally a kind of living thing. After being soaked in several special chemicals, their toughness and activity increase. In this way, after the pieces of meat are sutured, they will gradually penetrate into the muscles, fibers, and cells, re-energizing the disgusting body, otherwise it will just
If the meat is dead, how can it produce defensive power? The flexibility will also be greatly reduced." Homer was not polite at all and put all the bottles into the war space.
"Since we have stored magic stitches, there must be cores of the dead, right?" Downton couldn't wait any longer and led the team to continue the search.
After entering the area of the Third Chapel, Downton demolished all the armors that could be seen in the corridor. Sure enough, these guys all had soul cores on their inner thighs.
The gargoyle living here must have been killed in the conflict just now, so the team has an unimpeded journey.
"Looking for it!" Twenty minutes later, Hutao found a metal door.
After Homer opened it, as expected, the core of the dead placed on the steel shelf came into view.
They are spherical objects the size of an adult's fist. They are not the hearts of monsters, but the fruits of some dark undead plants. They have memory properties and are therefore used as carriers for instilling commands.
In short, the core of the dead is the brain and power source of hatred.
"Five hundred cores of the dead, Downton, you really made a profit." After counting the loot, Homer praised, "We have the two most important materials. If there are enough corpses, we can go to the Dark Altar to make them.
Hate it."
"Why didn't the mysterious master make these abominations?" Hu Tao was puzzled, "Putting them here would be an advantage for others."
"Once the abomination is made, it is a consumable. When the magic sutures come into contact with the air, they will be gradually eroded by the debris and gases in it, causing damage and eventually death. The core of the dead will also continuously extract magic energy to supply the abhorrence.
It moves and is constantly being worn out." Homer calculated, "On average, the service life of an abomination that has just been sent out of the workshop is about three years."
"I know this. As time goes by, even if Hatred has never been on the battlefield, its combat effectiveness will gradually weaken." Hutao raised his hand to answer.
"Yes, so despite the fact that Abomination is one of the strongest heavy infantry in the continent, maintenance measures such as replacing magic lines are also super annoying." Homer nudged Downton, "If you want one,
For an abomination army that can continue to fight, let Celes learn the "Abomination Production and Assembly Guide"?"
When Celes saw Downton looking over, she quickly shook her head like a rattle. She didn't want to deal with corpses.
"Let's talk about it later!" Downton didn't want to force her, and he had other questions, "What about the hatred that unlocks wisdom?"
"That's the sudden mutation of the core of the dead, which completely merged with the body." Homer explained simply and didn't want to say anymore. Downton was not a magician, so it was useless to know this.
After making some gains, Downton suddenly asked a question, "Why don't we go to the arsenal to take a look first?"
Although the cathedral was transformed into the Abomination Workshop, there are no significant differences in most areas, and perhaps the arsenal is still in place.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Hu Tao urged.
The arsenal is on the underground level. It's quite difficult to walk there. At least all the gargoyles you encounter along the way must be killed. And the most troublesome thing is that there are also abominations patrolling along the route set by the owner.
"If you can avoid it, try to avoid it."
Downton and his party hid behind a pillar, waiting for the hatred to go away. He really didn't want to fight these rough-skinned monsters.
Just like the ghouls will keep fighting if they can't destroy their heads, if they can't break the core of the dead in the Abomination's vest, they will keep fighting unless they are dismantled to pieces.
If Downton uses all his firepower, he can take down an abomination, but the noise he makes will definitely attract more monsters.
"We can only sneak in!" Ignoring Hu Tao's sad eyes, Downton loaded them all into the war space and then acted alone.
After walking and walking, the cautious Downton finally walked along the steps and entered the underground level.
Using Homer's night vision, Downton saw this dark corridor, and then sighed. Sure enough, there were gargoyles living on the ceiling, but fortunately there were not many of them.
In fact, there were many of them at first, but as the mysterious master left for too long, most of the gargoyles died. Without new additions, the number naturally decreased.
"Fight, or we can enter the arsenal later and alert them!" Homer suggested. (To be continued...)
