Chapter 174 Dragon Lich(3/4)

When this behemoth made of more than 20 tons of steel appeared out of thin air, it immediately rushed to the location of the Dracolich, opened its fangs reinforced with fine gold, and bit it hard.

Click!

No surprises!

The dracolich's thick and strong tailbone was bitten into two pieces on the spot.

Obviously, this is why Zuo Si insisted on using all the few fine gold on hand to build the teeth and claws of the steel golem.

Because fine gold has a characteristic that other metals cannot match, that is extremely terrifying hardness.

Any weapon made of fine gold can almost easily pierce and tear through those steel armors that look very strong.

This also means that anything whose hardness cannot be compared with that of fine gold is as fragile as paper in front of fine gold weapons.

Moreover, the golem has no independent consciousness, no thinking ability, and no fear. It only mechanically executes the orders given by its master.

After biting off the dracolich's tail, it immediately jumped up and used its terrifying weight of twenty tons to perform a "Taishan Crush" move.

When Wilmes, who was originally fighting with the Dracolich, saw this move, he was so frightened that he quickly backed away, fearing that he would also be accidentally involved.

Facts proved that her judgment was correct.

If a twenty-ton piece of metal falls from a height, its terrifying destructive power is simply not something any living thing can withstand.

Just as the red dragon's huge body jumped away, the steel golem smashed the Dracolich's spine and ribs to pieces on the spot.

Its bones, which are hard enough to withstand the slashing of a sword, are simply unable to withstand such a terrifying impact.

What's even more frightening is that the steel golem also has amazing magic resistance.

The dracolich's best charm control magic has no effect on this heavy metal creation.

In desperation, it could only open its mouth and try to bite the steel golem's head, and then prepare to release the dragon's breath.

But unfortunately, before this action could be put into actual action, he was pinned to the ground by the sharp claws of the steel golem.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the adamantine claws directly crushed the Dracolich's skull.

With strong unwillingness, frustration and anger, this lich transformed from an unknown dragon returned to its phylactery.

During the entire process, it didn't even release a single magic spell, nor could it use its breath ability.

Compared to the earth-shattering battle here, the battle with the purple-robed priest of the Dragon Worship Cult and his men on the other side seemed ordinary.

Because Zuo Si used a [Silence] card from the beginning, making all the opponent's spellcasters unable to chant spells.

Then the ferocious leopard, which had been lurking for a long time, jumped out of the darkness, rushed into the crowd, and launched a sneak attack, biting.

The half-orc Rhett and the dragonborn knight Davian immediately launched an attack, and with Alena's fire magic, they killed most of them in three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes.

Seeing that the defeat was certain, the purple-robed priest turned around and tried to run deeper into the cave.

As a result, the way was immediately blocked by a wall of fire.

In desperation, I can only rely on the magic items I carry with me and a very small number of low-level spells through metamagic skills-spell instant memory.

Even after drinking the invisibility potion, Zuo Si released the magic [Eliminate Invisibility] and was forced out.

After waiting for the protective magic on his body to be lifted one by one, Huntington's enchanted arrow penetrated his eye socket and died suddenly on the spot.

Shaking off the brains and blood stains on the axe, the half-orc Rhett couldn't help but grinned and said: "This battle seems to be much easier than expected. I thought it would be a hard battle."<

/p>

"No, you are wrong. There is no such thing as a hard fight in this world.

There are only well-prepared battles and ill-prepared battles.

The result of the former is just like this, killing the enemy with a devastating blow and ending everything.

Only in the latter will there be the bitter struggle you just mentioned.

I am more prepared than my enemy, so isn’t it natural that I will win?

However, our success this time was mainly due to the opponent's underestimation, carelessness and lack of understanding of us.

If there is a next time, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.”

Zuo Si explained with a serious expression.

He doesn't want his men to become blindly arrogant because of a few victories.

After all, the advantage of information asymmetry like this may be used once or twice, or two or three times, but it will definitely cause big problems if used too much.

But as time goes by, more and more people will surely begin to obtain information about Zuo Si through various means.

For example, after Clarice goes back to report this time, the legendary mage Manson will definitely use some prophecy magic and the Zhentarim, a huge dark intelligence network all over the continent of Faerûn, to find out his origins, abilities, and alignment.

A series of information such as personality, habits, preferences, weaknesses, spellcasting level, trump cards, etc.

This also means that in the future, Zuo Si will gradually become like the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, the chief of the red-robed wizard, the top executive of the inner circle of the Zhentarim, and the leader of the Harper Alliance, standing in the spotlight and being surrounded by all the people openly and secretly.

Enemy research and targeting.

There is only one way to break the situation, and that is to continuously improve one's own strength and at the same time increase the trump cards at hand.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

What's more, Zuo Si doesn't have a "backstage".

To a certain extent, Talona, ​​the goddess of disease and plague, is the biggest "backstage".

Although he himself looks down on this "backstage" a little bit, and even has a little contempt in his heart.

But if one day he is really pushed into a hurry, Zuo Si would not mind using some means to expand Talona's belief in the entire Faerûn, making it a medium or even powerful divine power.

Rhett was not angry after being poured cold water on him, he just shrugged his shoulders to show that he listened.

After all, although these words may sound a bit uncomfortable, they are ultimately for his own good, and he can still tell this clearly.

Just when everyone was about to clean the battlefield according to past habits to see if there were any valuables or magic items, Vanessa, who had disappeared for a while, finally appeared.

Behind him was the dragon lich that was killed just now.

It's just that this dragon lich no longer looks as arrogant as before, but follows it like a "lost dog".

The reason is also very simple.

The box inlaid with rubies that Vanessa holds in her hand is her phylactery that maintains eternal life.

And the reason why it can be resurrected so quickly is due to a unique ability - [Soul Transfer].

Unlike lichs transformed from humanoid creatures, dracolich's body cannot be regenerated through normal means after being destroyed.

Resurrection must be completed with the help of the corpse of the same kind or reptile.

No matter what form the creature was in before, it will be completely transformed into what it was before the dracolich was destroyed in a very short time after being possessed.

If there are no corpses of the same kind or reptiles around, their souls will be trapped in the phylactery forever.

This is also an important reason why Dracolich must cooperate with the Dragon Worship Cult.

Only this group of guys who worship dragons as gods will collect corpses and skeletons that meet the requirements to prepare for their resurrection.

Normally, the Dragon Worship Church places enough corpses and skeletons for at least two resurrections next to the dracolich's phylactery.

This means that those who fight against the Dragon Lich need to kill it two or three times to win.

The level of difficulty is simply beyond the reach of ordinary righteous people or adventurous teams.

But it is a pity that Zuo Si once again used his understanding of creatures like the Dracolich to arrange everything in advance.

Let Vanessa dive deeper into the cave in advance to find the Dracolich's phylactery, and then guard it next to it.

When the Dracolich was killed and started to move [soul], he suddenly took action to seize the phylactery.

When the opponent completes [Soul Transfer] and resurrects, they have lost their bargaining chips.

"Here, this is the life box you want."

Vanessa held up the golden box set with a large number of rubies with both hands, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

Through this action, he noticed certain qualities in Zuo Si.

In particular, his meticulous thinking and his terrifying habit of making a lot of preparations in advance no matter what kind of trouble he encounters are simply scary.

Nothing is more despairing than facing such an opponent.

"Good job."

Zuo Si took the phylactery with a satisfied expression on his face.

Because getting this thing is equivalent to getting hold of the dracolich.

Unless the other person no longer wants to live, no matter what kind of emotions they have, they must obey them honestly.

Vanessa glanced at the Dracolich behind her with a slightly pitiful look, then smiled and shook her head: "This has nothing to do with me, it is all arranged by you. In fact, for things like this, just send a master

Any caster with the sixth ring [Dissociation Technique] can easily do it. Now I am looking forward more and more to what kind of path you can take in the future."

Zuo Si also responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
