Chapter 377 Warlock Professional
The +3 refined iron sword, glowing with white light, failed to land on the black-robed man.
Because when he rushed towards the man in black robe, the other person raised his rough palm under the black robe.
In the hand of the man in black robe is a "gem" that emits an evil red light, as if something is flowing in it.
The gems turned into ashes out of thin air.
"Renea, Taerni, Thorebmus!"
Accompanied by a strange incantation.
A flaming door burning with dark red flames opened in mid-air.
A chubby deep purple creature emerged from the door, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur.
Then it directly blocked Brandon's attack with its body!
Brandon's eyes widened in surprise!
"What the hell!!"
This blue-purple creature has a translucent body as soft as jelly, and its size is comparable to that of an adult human male;
Without legs, the entire body is like an inverted cone, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
On the wrists of both arms, there are two pieces of symmetrical carapace-like armor with unique pattern-like circuits on them.
No normal facial features can be seen on the head, only two "light spots" emitting pale white light, which look like the eyes of this monster.
Although Brandon's attack hit its body, the sharp sword, which had always been invincible, seemed to have struck a ball of soft and elastic material this time.
Most of the force was directly removed by the rebound!
The actual damage done is minimal.
[The Secret of All Things] In the magical technique, this monster's life only dropped by just over 4%!
Don't say Brandon hasn't seen this thing before.
Even Peter and Gale were stunned.
This weird guy is neither an animal nor a magical construct. You can't feel the foul smell of monsters from its body, but it makes people instinctively feel physiologically disgusting.
Miranda, who was born in the Crusaders, was the first to identify the monster.
"Above, the God of knowledge!"
"Hellwalker!"
She moaned and exclaimed: "That guy is a warlock. After he signed a contract with the Devil Lord, he was enslaved in hell and allowed to do whatever he wants!"
When Peter heard this, he was shocked.
"Warlock?!"
"There are still professional warlocks in this world?!"
Miranda said without hesitation: "Absolutely! It can't be wrong!"
"He just opened the gate to hell to summon his servants, and the thing he consumed was [soul fragments]!"
…
In Prentiss Continent, there are 6 officially recognized career paths.
Priests and paladins who worship Navarre, the god of radiance;
The difference between the two is that the former's magical skills are geared towards healing, while the latter's magic is geared towards conquest, and requires the preparation of expensive heavy armor and high-quality weapons.
Mages who believe in the goddess of magic, that is, noble spellcasters;
A ranger blessed by the wild god Resai;
The stalker protected by the Shadow God Murphy;
There are also warriors who don’t believe in anything and rely on tapping the anger within them to fight.
In fact - there is a seventh career path.
A sorcerer who signed a contract with the devil king named Zalst in Hell and borrowed their power.
only.
This career path is now the stuff of folklore.
Because the birth of the warlock profession is full of terror and evil.
In the past, hell was a place where sinful people were executed.
After mortal death.
The god of death named Jaeger will send a ferryman to connect him to his underworld.
Judge this mortal soul in Hades.
A good person will later log into the kingdom of the god he believes in and enjoy infinite bliss;
The bad guys will be thrown into hell, where they will reshape their bodies and then suffer various painful punishments ordered by the devil himself.
Until his sins are expiated.
The hell dimension is real.
According to legend, powerful mages can temporarily open the door to the hell dimension with the help of drawn magic circles.
But no one can do that now.
Because the devil king actively blocked the passage between the hell dimension and the real world.
Just like the death god Jaeger, tired of his duties, closed the gate of the underworld and entered a long sleep, the soul can no longer be led to the underworld.
With the hell dimension being unilaterally sealed, mortals can no longer actively enter hell.
However, this does not mean that the devil king in the hell dimension cannot interfere in the present world.
A very small number of "chosen ones" will be invited by Him to briefly enter hell and choose whether to sign a contract with Him.
The content of this contract is simple.
The chosen mortals can borrow the power of the Devil Lord, enslave various hell creatures, and use the spells shared by the Devil Lord with them.
Usually, the price is that every time they borrow power, they need to consume [soul fragments] in return.
The production principle of [Soul Fragments] is quite terrifying.
Just like the name of this item.
When a life dies, its soul is torn into pieces.
By solidifying it with a spell called [Soul Absorption], it will turn into several bright red "jewels".
This production method means that it is easy for warlock professionals to take risks and rely on mass slaughter to extract the souls of the freshly deceased to produce [soul fragments] in batches.
Even more dangerous.
The creatures from hell and the spells shared by the Devil Lord are full of darkness and danger.
Although they will not directly pollute mortals and turn them into monsters like the evil gods, they will greatly increase the probability of this.
This is almost impossible to overcome with the firm will of mortals alone.
9 out of 10 former warlocks quickly became completely crazy and lost their minds, and then naturally attracted the attention of the evil gods and degenerated into dangerous monsters.
The remaining one did not survive, but - he became even more crazy.
Not only did it become a high-level monster that would cause serious pollution, but it also brought great damage to the area where it was!
In the stone fortress of the dwarves' city, there is still an isolated pollution pit, which is the "memorial" left by a warlock who once degenerated into a high-level monster.
Every warlock can be assumed to be a future high-level monster, and the stronger their own strength, the more dangerous the monster they will become when they degenerate.
Even if they have not yet degenerated into monsters, they will become perverse, cold-blooded and dark, and - disregard for the rules!
Rather than waiting for him to become a disaster and cause a tragedy in the future;
It is better to nip the danger in the bud in advance.
Directly treat those who have signed a contract with the devil lord as cultists!
Treat everyone equally!
As long as you dare to try to take the path of a warlock professional, if you find one, you will be burned at the stake!
Such high pressure, at least on the surface, this seventh professional path is considered to have cut off the inheritance.
Trading life for power, almost no one is willing to do such a loss-making business.
But now, the black-robed men who appeared in front of Brandon and others are two real warlock professionals!
……
The seventh professional route is here!
Currently owed: 14+10 (reward from the leader), and there will be 1 more chapter later, working hard.
