Chapter 32 Plague and Thunder(2/2)
After discovering other curses, it immediately went to fight against it. The two curses fought against each other, but the result was that both sides were dissolved.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Hermey. Although he "escaped" the curse, it will definitely recur in Hermey's descendants. Now this problem has been solved once and for all.
But Hemei didn't know this, and she couldn't be happy even if she knew it, because the plague demon that kills people is still there!
There was no time to think too much, the most important thing now was to order the soldiers to leave.
"Let's go, let's go quickly!"
While watching the reckless guys being torn to pieces by the demon spirits, Hemei shouted for everyone to run away, and then threw a silver powder bomb.
Hemei knew that he was in a world full of demons, demons, and monsters, so in addition to various evil-resisting gold accessories, he also had some things he used to exorcise demons.
The silver powder bomb came from his own idea. Since silver can harm monsters, why not combine gunpowder with silver to create something that can exorcise demons.
And his idea was soon successful. The gunpowder technology in the Witcher world has developed to the point where it can be used to carry out the big robbery of the auction house (the one in the Heart of Stone). Building a bomb or something should not be too simple.
The silver powder had an obvious effect on the demon spirit. The light on the ugly figure's upper body flickered weakly, and the demon spirit roared in pain.
Although this effect only lasted for a while, it was enough to allow the soldiers who were relatively close to the demon spirit to distance themselves from it.
More and more people joined the fleeing army, and no one wanted to be left behind, because the demon spirit got rid of the influence of the silver powder in such a period of time.
Those who were left behind were torn into pieces by the demon spirit, and their bodies then rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After throwing another silver bomb, Hemei also started to turn his horse's head. His subordinates were already moving. It was time to leave. Leave this dangerous place of right and wrong first.
The scenery in front of Hermey suddenly changed drastically. The forest on the other side of the ruins suddenly disappeared, and there was only darkness in front of her.
Hemei looked around and found that darkness had dominated his surroundings. He cautiously pulled out the short sword mixed with silver from his waist. He understood that he had been tricked.
If Herme knew anything about the Lilite believers in Harkeran, he would know that this is the "swallowing sun" of the Lilite priests, which can pull a person into darkness in a short period of time.
Damn, this is the only thing he has on him right now that is effective against demonic spirits. The magic-blocking gold doesn't seem to be very effective against such cursed creatures. I really regret not bringing more.
Hemei felt that she was probably finished. If she fell into such a scene, it would not mean she was finished.
Damn it, I should have been more cautious, not rush so fast, I should have stayed outside the ruins from the beginning.
It's a pity that all these are useless.
Just when Hemei continued to regret in his heart, the plague demon suddenly appeared in front of Hemei, floating in front of his eyes.
Hemei raised the dagger and stabbed the monster, but its movements were more flexible, and it immediately changed its direction, and then the claws continued to approach Hemei.
Subconsciously, Hemei closed his eyes, because he knew that he would not be able to escape the blow, and he would probably die next.
But at the next moment, the situation suddenly changed drastically.
Herme could only feel the intense heat coming from the Cliff's emblem on her chest, the emblem given by Rastit. It felt like fire.
In fact, ever since Hemei was pulled into this darkness, the divine emblem began to react, but Hemei didn't notice it until the strong reaction made him unable to ignore it.
Then Herme heard the roar of thunder in the sky.
It was not the sound of a fire door gun being fired, but the real roar of thunder. Suddenly, Hemei saw lightning suddenly strike from the sky and hit the plague demon spirit.
After receiving this blow, the plague demon spirit weakened visibly to the naked eye, and its entire body shrank. The sound of pain was so fierce that even Hermey felt frightened.
But all this was not over yet, so at the next moment, another bolt of lightning fell.
The plague demon spirit disappeared into the air, and the plagues and hatred it carried were all wiped out in the thunder that belonged to Cliff.
The darkness also dissipated under the light, and Hemei discovered that the normal world had appeared before her eyes.
He also saw that the soldiers and officers who had followed him were now standing there as confused as he was.
Judging from their appearance, they must have fallen into darkness just like Hemei.
As for the plague demon spirit, it has disappeared, and even the black light has disappeared.
.
"Ahem! Ahem! Great Sun Disk, why is this happening! Why! Why are you doing this to me!"
In the dilapidated elven hall, the Nilfgaardian warlock was lying on the ground vomiting blood. He had taken off his gas mask.
And what he spit out was black blood, blood as black as ink.
The Nilfgaardians never imagined that their plan, which they had put so much effort into, would fail miserably from the very beginning.
There shouldn't be any problems with his plan. The warlock said firmly in his heart, but the reality was completely opposite to what he thought.
While cultivating a high-grade grape, imperial botanists discovered an extremely dangerous alchemical substance. With the discovery of this substance, the most evil conspiracy was born.
The Nilfgaardian Warlock was the leader of this plan, and he worked hard for five years. It was expected that the First Northern War would be the stage for this material manifestation.
But in fact, the performance of this plague is really difficult to satisfy.
Outside the laboratory, the activity of the plague is too low, and it cannot achieve the same transmission effect as in the laboratory. Its lethality is also greatly reduced, and it cannot kill people at all.
And if the lethality is in place, the lethality is too strong. The host dies too quickly, and there is no way to think about the spread.
All in all, the Empire's judgment of this thing is useless.
After this incident, the warlock's research was naturally regarded as useless by the empire. So many resources were spent, but what was obtained was such a result. The cost was too high and it was not worth continuing.
As a result, a large amount of resources and investments that originally belonged to him were withdrawn, but the Warlock refused to admit defeat. He continued to research and find a remedy.
What is happening now is his remedy.
In order to solve the problem of contagion, he came up with the idea of plague demons. Having plague demons continue to spread this deadly plague and increase the power of the plague would not be a problem at all.
Moreover, relying on the spells he devised, the plague demon spirits will be completely under his control, making it even more convenient to spread the plague.
Although this plague demon only lasted for a week, it was enough for him to turn the land where the Aedirian garrison gathered into a dead land.
For this reason, he approached the Scoia'tael and Eldan, and formulated this plan full of hatred and evil.
Eldan's hatred is undoubtedly enough, and it is this kind of hatred that he values. If he wants to summon demon spirits, such strong emotions are indispensable.
But just when he thought he could kill all the Aedianites nearby and prove to the empire that his plan was truly feasible, the result was completely different from what he had imagined.
The northerners who were supposed to be killed with the curse at the beginning were not killed, but it didn't matter. He controlled the demon spirits to kill those soldiers while spreading the plague, and used the power of the demon spirits to forcibly bury the plague in these people's bodies.
The warlock is very addicted to this feeling, because he can feel everything the demon feels, and that feeling is very wonderful.
But when he was using magic to temporarily trap the northerners and wanted to kill the northerners' commander, he was suddenly hit by thunder falling from the sky.
The lethality of thunder to demon spirits is the most terrifying. The lightning that penetrates the world is enough to destroy all negative energy. Plague and hatred converge into plague. Demon spirits are completely powerless to stop it when faced with such power.
As the controller of the plague demon spirit, he also suffered strong backlash.
The warlock's method of manipulating demon spirits was inspired by the teachings of a scholar in the empire. The scholar read a lot of information on the serpent sect decades after the imperial army conquered the serpent sect's demon hunter castle.
From the witcher's information, he concluded that the Wild Hunt was probably some kind of creature that transformed itself into a soul.
Although this theory is regarded as nonsense by most people, it still has some influence among the Empire's mages. They all know that the Wild Hunt is not a simple legend.
It is from the point of "transforming into a soul state" that the warlock summed up the method of controlling demon spirits.
After suppressing the demon spirit's hate-filled thoughts through magic, wouldn't it be enough to attach one's own soul to the demon spirit?
It is precisely for this reason that when the demon spirit is struck by thunder, his soul is also struck by thunder and is severely damaged.
The direct manifestation of the serious damage to his soul is that his control over this huge magic power has directly failed.
The reasons for the formation of demon spirits are very complicated. First of all, strong emotions are a necessary condition for the birth of demon spirits, but it does not mean that you can become a demon spirit just by having strong emotions.
If one dies with hatred and turns into a demon, then this society would have been in chaos long ago.
In a place with magical power, demon spirits are very likely to take shape.
Therefore, in order to forcibly summon demon spirits in places without magic, warlocks brought a large number of items containing magic, such as stones buckled from magic places.
But now, he can't control these magic powers.
"Damn it, it's going to come back!"
The Nilfgaardian warlock's expression suddenly changed drastically, and then, an explosion occurred.
.
Herme asked the soldiers what they saw, and everyone responded that a thunder split between heaven and earth.
Many people regard this as a manifestation of the great power of Cliff. After all, lightning is the symbol of that god, and it is the protector of warriors.
Some people regard this as a manifestation of Hemei being blessed by the gods, and the great god must be coming to help Hemei's team.
Hermei's emotions were even more complicated because he saw with his own eyes how lightning killed the plague demon spirit.
He knew very well that the lightning came from Cliff's handiwork.
When he thinks of Cliff, he will look at the Cliff emblem in his hand. This thing has been completely charred, as if it had been struck by lightning. It has completely lost the extraordinary feeling before. Hemei doesn't have that feeling either.
.
Hermione knew that it was this thing that attracted Cliff's supernatural power, and now it was just a piece of trash.
After returning to Hacklan, you have to meet Rasdit.
Hemei thought that this divine emblem was given to him by the great high priest, so he must ask him.
And just when Hemei was thinking about the next action, a big explosion suddenly occurred in the ruins in the distance. The huge sound made everyone look over.
