Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: The Death Battle Chapter 140 Return (Part 1)
The six deadly forces were intertwined, tearing at Li Wei's spirit.
In an instant, it felt like an eternity!
In the realm of consciousness, Li Wei stood in a void, surrounded by several evil souls floating in the air, who attacked him intermittently.
Li Wei knew that if he were killed by these souls here, his body outside would also turn into a pile of rotten flesh, just like the demons he had encountered along the way.
Even the soul of a demon cannot resist the attack of this evil magic, so naturally Li Wei cannot either.
However, nothing is absolute.
Li Wei himself never expected that the tiny Black Shop that grew in his dantian after he ate the dragon turtle meat and drank the dragon turtle blood in the Sword Immortal World would save his life now.
In the realm of consciousness, this grain of rice is no longer a grain of rice.
It was a grape-sized, blue bead of unknown material, somewhat like a glass ball. Inside, there seemed to be another space, with a large amount of what appeared to be airflow churning within it, which reminded Li Wei of a front-loading washing machine.
It was this bead that, every time those evil spirits tried to rush up and tear Li Wei's soul apart, suddenly released a large amount of aura, forcing those spirits to leave.
And so, the situation remained deadlocked.
During this time, Li Wei pondered many things. His body was indeed incredibly powerful. But what about his soul?
If it weren't for this bead, he would have been torn to pieces by those evil souls long ago. This is a weakness of martial artists. Although Li Wei possessed unparalleled skills, whether it was palm techniques or swordsmanship, he was extremely vulnerable when faced with such magical attacks that affected the soul.
No wonder the small group of reincarnators, who were already at odds with each other, gathered together. They weren't united by mutual respect, but rather because they were threatened.
This Death Knight is like a sword hanging over their heads; disobey and you die.
"From now on, we must find a good way to defend against this kind of attack, otherwise we won't even know how we died!"
Once Li Wei made up his mind, he focused his attention on the present.
How can we exorcise these evil spirits?
Looking at the bead floating in front of him, Li Wei thought to himself that he still needed to rely on it.
Reaching out and grasping the bead, Li Wei felt no attack from the aura. The bead seemed completely unguarded against Li Wei; in fact, Li Wei even felt a sense of familiarity with it.
"Bead, oh Bead! If you care about me, then get rid of those souls. Otherwise, if I'm doomed, you won't be any better off," Li Wei muttered to the bead.
After staring at it for a long time, the bead didn't react at all. Li Wei sighed.
In his soul state, he cannot use any skills, nor can he utilize any true energy. Right now, he is no different from an ordinary person.
The evil spirits circling around were still waiting for an opportunity to strike. Every now and then, they couldn't resist and would come down to attack, but they were all blocked by the bead.
This stalemate couldn't go on forever, so Li Wei began to examine the only "weapon" he had.
The bead felt warm and smooth in his hand. As he tried to probe it with his consciousness, Li Wei's eyebrows twitched.
He made a discovery, and it was a tremendous surprise.
Andariel's Lair.
A minute had passed, and in the Death Knight's eyes, the "Demon Reincarnator" was already on the verge of death. He originally intended to finish him off with the rune sword, but the Ghoul besieging Andariel had encountered a problem.
The reason is that they angered Andariel, that devil.
In her rage, she unleashed "Poison Nova," instantly striking all the Ghoul within a 3-degree radius of her body with the explosive poison.
Upon seeing this, the Death Knight immediately rushed over and commanded the Ghoul to retreat.
Although he was a member of the Undead army and possessed the ability to corrode, the poison skills of the hellish demon Andariel were simply too monstrous.
Instantly, almost all the Ghoul were plunged into Pain, their bodies beginning to dissolve under the deadly poison.
"Andariel, you're just making a death throes!"
The Death Knight swung his runeblade, unleashing a Death Coil upon a Ghoul. Then came the second, and the third.
Even a powerful Death Knight, a reincarnator, could only unleash Death Coil seven times in a short period. Fortunately, six Ghoul recovered completely from this skill, while the rest frantically devoured the corpses on the ground, using their own regenerative abilities to resist the deadly poison in their bodies.
Meanwhile, the Death Knight, leading six Ghouls, continued his attack on Andariel, putting her completely on the defensive.
Finally, the runeblade severed one of Andariel's poisoned spikes from his back, and the demon screamed in agony. The relentless death knight continued wielding his runeblade, determined to finish off this final thorn in his side.
Just then, a disheveled girl emerged from the room behind Andariel, carrying an Iron Mask in her arms.
Instantly, both the Death Knight and Andariel noticed her.
"Is she also a reincarnator from the First Training Squad? Is what she's holding okay?"
The Death Knight sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"Brother Li said that if Andariel is put on the defensive, then destroy this Iron Mask. Now should be the time."
This girl was Nina. She used her Vampire powers and punched the somewhat rusty Iron Mask into pieces.
In an instant, Andariel's movements stopped abruptly...8 (Yushu Ao) The body of the clam! It burst out with a roar, and then it was the "poisonous new star" that was about to retreat.
She noticed it the moment Nina came out with that Iron Mask.
Her eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy, brightened when she saw the Iron Mask, because it held so many memories for her.
Pain, resentment, obsession, and that escape, that gentle man—but she could never win his heart.
The Iron Mask was the embodiment of this emotion, but now it has been destroyed!
Also destroyed was the last vestige of "human" consciousness within Andariel's heart.
"Ah.
The scream, seemingly from hell, stunned everyone. By the time they came to their senses, Andariel had already torn the few Ghoul that couldn't escape to pieces, like a demon god.
The entire fourth level of the Catacombs began to tremble violently, with stones constantly falling, foreshadowing the imminent birth of a new hellish demon.
Nina was completely terrified. Andariel's next target was her. Seeing the demon rushing towards her, Nina even forgot to run. Just as she didn't know what to do, a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move, it's me!"
Hearing this voice, Nina felt relieved.
It's Li Wei!
"Let's get out of here first." Without wasting words, Li Wei immediately activated the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions. The next second, Nina felt the scene before her change, and she found herself in an open field in the wilderness.
Li Wei, on the other hand, returned to the Catacombs, but was teleported to the entrance instead.
At this time, Xue Yan's battle with the reincarnators was also nearing its end.
At Xue Yan's feet sat a pale-faced man, from whom Li Wei sensed signs of impending death.
The reason was a throwing knife stuck in his chest.
Who is this person? Li Wei had some questions in his mind, but his Eye of Perception told him that this man was actually a Reincarnator.
What about the people before them?
Could it be that he is also a puppet?
"Impressive, young lady. You managed to see through my clone and locate my true self. Dying at your hands isn't entirely unjust. It seems that even with the strongest skills, a weakened true self cannot survive this mission. Look, your companion has arrived. He's strong and trusts you. If we had trusted each other, the outcome wouldn't have been like this."
Perhaps he still had many regrets, perhaps he had many stories he hadn't told anyone, but now, Reincarnator No. 74 closed his eyes unwillingly.
"Notification of death of the reincarnator, killer: Reincarnator of the Blazing Fire"
Picking up the Guardian and Skill Book dropped by the Reincarnator, Xue Yan revealed a hint of dejection. This man was so similar to her former self. Neither valued nor trusted, with no companion to entrust everything to.
Compared to him, I am much happier now!
When Li Wei arrived, he looked at the corpse on the ground and showed a look of shock. He then looked at Xue Yan and wanted to ask her something.
Xue Yan chuckled and said, "You're probably wondering why this person is different from the previous Reincarnator you met, right?"
"Because what we saw at first was just a puppet he controlled. His real body was hiding among the pile of corpses. He was a very intelligent person with unique skills, but once he was exposed, death was the only way out."
Li Wei nodded, thinking to himself that this was indeed the case, and he now had a general understanding of what had happened.
However, the most important thing right now is to get Xue Yan away from here. Andariel in the inner room has become a true demon god. At this moment, Li Wei can only say that Cain, that old charlatan, was really right.
When Andariel saw the Iron Mask destroyed, he lost his mind. At this moment, the only Death Knight left in the inner room should be entangled by Andariel. Fighting a demon god, even if he is a level-one reincarnator, he will only face death.
However, Li Wei still wanted to take precautions. He couldn't allow any enemy to survive; otherwise, he or someone close to him might die instead. As Li Wei had predicted, the Death Knight was completely overwhelmed by the irrational Andariel and couldn't escape.
His Ghoul had been completely depleted, and he couldn't possibly use "Undead Army" twice in one day. Even if he forced out Death Coil, it would have no effect on the Demon God-level Andariel.
"Did they die too? Damn First Sergeant, damn Andariel, damn bastard, did you think this would make me admit defeat? Humph!"
He had long ago discovered that the supposedly dead reincarnator had disappeared without a trace. Now he finally understood that it was all a setup—a setup targeting their squad.
Having withstood Andariel's attack, the Death Knight coughed up blood, but used the force to run towards the exit. Even if he didn't complete the mission, as long as he survived, he would have a chance to turn the tide. Presumably, Andariel at this moment was not someone that the first squad could handle.
However, just as he reached the inner chamber door, he saw a sword's edge slashing towards him. Caught off guard, his armor was struck heavily, a piece of it being sliced off with a whoosh, and his arm fell to the ground.
