With the acquisition of a powerful human shield and thug, Zuo Si finally got the last important piece of the puzzle in his escape plan.
Now, what he has to do is to reach the upper area of the tower, find and forcefully open the portal before the undead creatures outside exhaust the energy reserves of the mage tower.
Although the entire floating city is currently shrouded in powerful confinement spells, ordinary teleportation spells will not take effect at all.
But the power of the planeswalker's spark, coupled with the energy that the portal can gather, should be able to tear open a small crack.
Although this rift may be a little unstable, and we don’t even know where it will be teleported to in Faerûn, it is still much better than staying and waiting to die.
What's more, Zuo Si now has a dragon!
Even if you live in inaccessible places such as deep mountains, deserted islands, or the sea, you can still ride a dragon and quickly move to the vicinity of the town.
With the desire to survive, he was so hungry that he ate the last few pieces of candy in the paper bag without leaving any way out for himself.
In this way, one person and one dragon quickly passed through the corridors and stairs, arriving at the only entrance to the middle and upper areas of the tower.
Like most mage towers in this world.
When Asta, the Archmage of the Necromancer, was originally designed, the underground part was used as a warehouse, a laboratory of necromancy magic, and a place for slaves and servants to live.
The middle floor is a series of special rooms with functions such as libraries, workshops, and exploration rooms, as well as public places for apprentices to attend classes, rest, and conduct magic experiments.
As for the upper level, it is his own private space.
No one is allowed to approach or break in without permission.
Otherwise, even if I am not there, the guards, traps and summoned creatures scattered in the passage can easily kill the intruder.
Zuo Si once witnessed an ambitious apprentice with a high level of mage who wanted to sneak in while Asta was out to find some knowledge or magic that could bring more powerful power.
In the end, he used a spell to turn himself into an invisible spirit to deceive two golems, and then he was hit by a negative energy ray emerging from the smooth wall.
The result, of course, was sudden death as expected.
The body lay there for weeks, until it rotted and emitted a pungent stench, and Asta allowed the other apprentices to clean it up.
Looking at the two fleshy golems standing at the door, which were more than three meters high and nearly one meter wide, Wilmes, who was still in human form, immediately showed fear in his eyes and asked without looking back: "What's inside of something like this?"
How many more?"
You must know that although the flesh golem does not look much different from the corpse creature in appearance, they are both pieced together and sewn together from the corpses of various creatures.
And the more corpses used and the larger the size, the stronger the corpse creatures and flesh golems finally obtained, and the harder they are to kill.
But in terms of production craftsmanship and difficulty in dealing with it, it’s completely different from heaven to earth.
The latter is just a simple combination and can be damaged by any form of energy and physical attacks.
But the former is a powerful guard created with necromancy magic. Whether it is skin, muscles, or bones as a supporting structure, they are all strengthened by magical power.
Not only does it have all the characteristics of a construct, such as immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, shock, instant death, charm, control, and a series of spells and ability effects, but it also has a very similar powerful self-healing ability to a troll.
.
The most important thing is that the flesh golem is a kind of "golem".
The biggest feature of the golem is that it has at least one type of spell immunity and resistance.
Many powerful mages would rather face a dragon than fight a golem that restrains them.
"There are two at the door, and two more after passing through the passage and stairs to the upper floor, for a total of four.
In addition, we must also be careful about possible hidden magic traps on the walls and floors of the passage, as well as eight metal constructs made of steel and a group of gargoyles in the room where the portal is located.
As for the specific type of metal structure, I'm not sure.
But they all hold various weapons in their hands.
Of course, if we are unlucky enough, we might meet Asta himself when passing by his bedroom, or he might have turned into a lich."
Zuo Si didn't hide anything and told everything he knew directly.
With such a powerful guard force, if it weren't for the help of the red dragon, he might not be able to get through even if he had dozens of lives.
"Damn! There are too many! Can't we climb to the upper floor from the outside and break through the wall?"
Facing such a terrifying lineup, even Wilmes couldn't help but feel panicked and wanted to find another way to avoid unnecessary fierce battles.
If it were in a wider place outside, she might be able to use her flying and jumping abilities to maneuver around, and then find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
But the problem is that this is the inside of the Mage Tower!
Although by human standards, each room is quite spacious in terms of height and area, and there is no feeling of being crowded or oppressive at all.
But for a giant dragon that is seventeen meters long with its tail, it is still too small and cannot be used at all.
Moreover, the small space means there is no place to dodge or jump, and you have to go head-to-head with multiple enemies that pose a threat. If you are not careful, you may overturn.
Zuo Si shook his head gently and interrupted this unrealistic fantasy neatly: "Stop dreaming!
Do you think I didn’t think of this opportunistic method?
Because the entire mage tower is an integrated structure.
As long as an unknown and unauthorized creature is detected approaching, whether from the ground or in the air, offensive spells will be immediately released to strike.
What's more, activating the portal must consume part of the tower's energy reserve.
If the stored energy is used up, we must wait for at least ten days to recharge."
"Since I have no choice, I have to force my way through."
After saying that, Wilmes instantly returned to his dragon form, opened his big mouth full of fangs and took a deep breath.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!!
The hot flame breath instantly enveloped everything in the cone in front.
The suffocating heat wave can be clearly felt even from several meters away.
Those tables, chairs, sculptures, lamps and other things were all reduced to ashes almost in an instant.
Although the two flesh golems were shrouded in the spitting range and suffered severe burns, they relied on their regeneration ability to quickly repair themselves and at the same time took steps to charge towards the giant beast that attacked them.
"Go away! Dirty bastard!"
The red dragon that finished breathing roared, spread its wings, and launched [Dragon Wing Slap] towards one of the flesh golems.
This is the signature move of almost all dragons in close combat.
Before the latter could reach out his big hands full of pustules to grab something, his whole body flew into the air and flew out with a bang and hit the wall.
Immediately afterwards, Wilmes raised his front paws again, flipping the other flesh demon to the ground with an almost violent attitude, and then flew forward and pressed all the weight of his body on it.
Bang!
This time, the tower seemed to be shaking slightly from top to bottom.
Zuo Si was completely shocked when he witnessed the terrifying frontal combat power of the red dragon for the first time.
He suddenly realized how lucky he was to be able to control the other person.
If he were not trapped in the binding circle, even if he awakened the strange object made from the mind flayer's brain tissue, there would be absolutely no chance of success.
It seems that the approach of the Necromancer Asta is the right one.
There is no need to talk about "martial ethics" when dealing with a terrifying giant beast like a giant dragon that stands at the top of the food chain.
Not to mention reckless head-on confrontation.
Reduce magic resistance!
Blind and blind!
Curse of Weakness!
Strong bondage!
Before the dragon notices the danger, strive to take it away without giving it any chance to fight back.
