#2574 - Intercept
Fang Heng quickly returned to the Death Knight's Hall along the underground maze passage.
Crap!
At the entrance, the team formed by Colette and Karsa had already occupied the entire entrance to the Death Knight's Hall.
It looked like they had just arrived.
Fang Heng immediately concealed his aura and hid at the outer entrance to investigate.
Colette and Karsa stared at the final entrance to Empress Persephone's tomb, somewhat suspicious.
The situation was a bit abnormal.
In the past, whenever they came here, the entire Empress's tomb guard would be activated, and they would be intercepted by the resurrected Death Knights in the Death Knight's Hall.
But today, they only saw four Death Knight statues and dense patches of vines.
The vines and roots almost covered the entire hall.
But strangely, the Death Knights did not revive.
Even more bizarre, they noticed a giant magic circle near the center of the hall.
The magic circle was activated and surrounded by layers of vine roots.
It looked like a summoning magic circle.
All the vines in the tomb started spreading from here.
The vines were still constantly extending outward, trying to attack the team.
Due to the influence of Colette's corrosion domain, the vines were quickly corroded and completely lost their vitality as they approached the team, unable to continue growing.
What's going on?
This magic circle...
Is it a trap?
Colette and Karsa exchanged glances.
"Check it carefully."
For safety's sake, the two of them stayed in the hall with their team, cautiously checking the surrounding environment.
Fang Heng observed the team's movements from a distance, his heart sinking.
This is a big problem.
If the two of them destroyed Abe Akie's magic circle, he would lose his safe passage to leave the death world.
The Necromancy Association had said that the tomb was equipped with a defense mode that would cause it to explode completely if invaded.
He would be buried with it then.
Should he leave now...?
Or...
Fang Heng couldn't help but glance at the deeper Empress's tomb.
Might as well take a gamble!
Go in and take a look!
Empress Persephone suffered great trauma before her death, and her soul will was severely damaged, unable to re-condense. Most of her soul will was missing, and the Empress's old subordinates spent a lot of effort to find only twelve copies.
Fang Heng estimated that if he only absorbed one portion of the power, it would be about one percent of the Empress's prime.
He should be able to handle it with the magic seed in his body!
Most importantly, this part of the will has very little consciousness!
It's very easy to absorb.
At worst, even if he can't completely handle it, he can slowly find a way to solve the remaining part of the will in the future.
But if he runs away now, these people will definitely destroy the entire tomb!
The Empress's will will not be found either.
Wouldn't that be a complete loss!
If he doesn't take a risk now, he won't be able to sleep well for years!
Let's do it!
Fang Heng's heart stirred, and he quickly stepped into the secondary space projection, rushing towards the entrance of the tomb in front!
Colette and Karsa were investigating the situation when they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the layers of vines and roots in front.
Crack, crack, crack!
Behind the hidden vines and roots, the entrance to the final Empress Persephone's hall made a hoarse sound.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The gate to Empress Persephone's hall slowly opened.
What?
In the next instant, the two of them simultaneously sensed spatial fluctuations and immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the fluctuations.
They could clearly sense that Fang Heng existed in the secondary space projection and quickly passed by them until he broke into the Empress's hall, but they could not capture Fang Heng's figure with their eyes, and their attacks were ineffective.
Because they were worried about a trap, neither of them took the initiative to pursue.
Karsa stared at the open gate and asked, "Colette, is that the person you met just now?"
"Yes, it's him. I don't know what he's up to."
"He had many opportunities to enter the hall before, but he only went in now..." Karsa pondered and said, "It's very likely a trap."
Colette nodded in agreement, "In any case, let's get rid of this troublesome magic circle first, dispel the vines outside, and completely destroy the Death Knight statues."
"Yeah, good."
As Colette spoke, she condensed a mark in front of her.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!!"
The corrosion domain condensed in front of Colette and slowly spread forward.
"Buzz, buzz!!"
The vines deep inside, near the central magic circle, made a buzzing sound when they encountered the corrosion domain and instantly launched a fierce resistance.
Colette frowned slightly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"
In the next moment, more than twenty Lickers sprang out from the bushes in front, rushing towards everyone.
"You continue, leave the rest to me!"
Karsa called out, picked up his short blade, and led his men to deal with the incoming Licker horde!
"Whoosh!!"
Karsa's figure flashed past, and the short blade in his hand instantly drew three beautiful arcs in the air.
The Lickers pouncing in mid-air were instantly dismembered and scattered into a pile of severed limbs and flesh.
Karsa's special ability allows him to trigger the display of the enemy's fatal points when attacking with a dagger.
If he hits all the enemy's fatal points within 5 seconds, he can cause an instant kill!
Of course, the stronger the enemy, the more fatal points there are.
Huh?
What?
Karsa's pupils suddenly shrank.
What is that!?
The severed limbs and flesh of the Lickers quickly rotted on the ground, forming a black powdery fungus.
Chichi, chichi...
In the blink of an eye, the black powder gathered together again like ashes, and the Lickers revived again at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Karsa watched the Lickers who had been instantly killed revive at an extremely fast speed and pounce towards him again, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Resurrection ability!?
He had never seen such a strange ability!
Moreover, this creature has no soul at all! It is a completely summoned creature!
The Nether race who came with Karsa also realized this.
The Licker horde that appeared in the Death Knight's Hall is different from the Lickers they encountered before!
They are covered with a layer of dark brown special substance on their bodies and claws, and their defense ability and attack strength have been partially improved.
But the most terrifying thing is the ability to quickly revive after death!
They have no way to restrain this ability!
Faced with a group of unkillable enemies, Colette's progress in destroying the magic circle was immediately hindered.
At the same time, Fang Heng had quickly returned to the Empress's tomb hall behind.
The Lickers he left in the Death Knight's Hall were modified Primordial bodies.
The biggest feature of the Primordial body is the resurrection effect after death!
None of the known methods to eliminate the Primordial body exist in the death world!
It should be able to delay them for a while.
