Chapter 179 Farewell, dear mentor(3/4)
To be honest, he was a little surprised that Asta could withstand the damage from four [Higher Strike Undead] and [Scorching Glory] cards.
Because under normal circumstances, most lichs would probably have their bones turned into ashes after receiving this blow.
But the other party was only seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he still had one breath left.
Eighty percent of the damage is offset by some powerful magic items.
Of course, this has no impact on the final result.
Next, Zuo Si only needs one shot of [Ring of the Ram] to take him away directly.
"That's it! You have mastered the magic that specifically targets undead creatures, so you dare to claim that you can kill me."
Asta's tone was full of strong vigilance and fear.
More importantly, Zuo Si's growth rate far exceeded the limit he could have imagined.
And he had no idea what kind of trump cards the former apprentice in front of him had.
"You taught me that a well-prepared mage is invincible.
You may not believe it, but I have prepared quite a lot of means to deal with another lich these days.
Who would have thought that today I would actually use it on you, my mentor?
I have to say, this is really destiny.
Please choose now.
Should I hand over what originally belonged to me, or die here today, taking a gamble on whether I can find the phylactery before you complete your resurrection."
Zuo Si gave the ultimatum with a smile.
It is not difficult to tell from his eyes and demeanor that he is enjoying the feeling of forcing the former high-ranking Necromancer into a corner.
Because the other party forced him like this in the first place.
"How can I trust that you won't suddenly fall out after getting something?" Asta asked, squeezing the bottle in his hand.
Zuo Si spread his hands and replied: "You have no choice.
Do you still remember what you said when you first threw me into an ancient tomb and asked me to find the exit alone in a maze full of traps, traps and undead creatures?
You said that the strong dominating the weak is an eternal truth in this world.
If you don’t want to be dominated, then become stronger than you, and then I can dominate you in turn.”
Asta froze for a moment and said in an unbelievable tone: "So you are now taking revenge for what I have done to you?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is not revenge.
To be honest, I am actually very grateful to you for forcing me to continue to be cold and ruthless.
Otherwise, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to survive until now.
So this is not revenge on you, but a way to thank you.
Let you understand how good I have become at this moment, just like you expected me to be.
Haven't you been saying that you hope that an apprentice can successfully kill you?
I'm just fulfilling your wish..."
When he said these words, the offering ring on Zuo Si's hand suddenly lit up.
Seeing that Zuo Si was about to continue taking action, Asta immediately threw the bottle in his hand, then turned around and ran towards the secret door at the back of the room that was used to escape.
Since he was unable to cast any teleportation magic, he directly activated the power of the [Boots of Speed] on his feet, making him as fast as a world champion in the 100-meter sprint.
But unfortunately, the moment he touched the secret door switch, a sheep's head made of energy hit him hard from behind.
Bang!
The Necromancer immediately felt as if his body had been hit by a battering ram, and his feet instantly lifted off the ground and hit the wall in front of him.
Although the body is blessed with many magics to protect against energy and physical damage, there are no force field protection spells.
As a result, his cervical spine and skull were broken by the Ram Ring on the spot.
The blood and brain matter that had not yet rotted and dried suddenly splattered everywhere, completely staining the walls and floor red.
As for Zuo Si on the other side, he easily released a zero-level [Mage's Hand] and steadily caught the bottle Asta deliberately threw behind him.
After finishing all this, he commented casually: "My dear mentor, you have really become weaker since you came to this world.
There are no high-level spells that can be cast at will;
There are no more carefully crafted powerful undead creatures and constructs;
No more super magic skills that I am proud of;
Even the mage tower has been replaced by this simple magic laboratory.
The most important thing is that you are still so greedy and want to exploit me like before.
In this case, let me take you on your way.
After all, being killed by one's best apprentice is the highest honor as a mentor."
After saying this, Zuo Si took out the little devil's card again and paid mana to summon it.
In the blink of an eye, this evil little thing appeared again.
However, unlike the last "Zu'an" greeting, it looked much more honest, and was kneeling on the ground in a very humble manner.
"I need your psychic skills!" Zuo Si said the request without hesitation.
"As you wish, my great, evil, cold, cruel and ruthless master."
The little devil hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly began to chant spells and perform complex spell-casting movements.
Not long after, its pupils began to dilate, appearing exactly the same as last time.
"Is the phylactery of the Lich Asta in this house?"
Zuo Si, who had once experienced using [Theosophy], asked the question directly.
"Yes!"
The little devil immediately responded in the affirmative.
"It's exactly what I expected."
Zuo Si couldn't help but show a playful expression.
Because Asta has the habit of not trusting anyone, he will only hide the life box where he can see it and protect it in time.
In addition, since he is new here, he has very few positions to choose from.
If nothing else happens, he should be hiding in his own residence.
After getting this important information, Zuo Si immediately divided the transformed magic laboratory into several areas, and then used [theosophy] to eliminate them one by one.
Eventually he succeeded in narrowing it down to the attic on the top floor.
With a second-level spell [Detecting Secret Doors], two third-level spells [Object Location Spell], and [Seeing Through Invisibility] were successfully released.
With almost no effort, Zuo Si took out a transparent sealed box in the seemingly empty air above his head.
Obviously, in order to better hide the phylactery, Asta not only fixed the [Invisibility Technique] on the box, but also placed it in a blind spot that was easily overlooked.
However, Zuo Si did not choose to open the box by himself. Instead, he used a [Knocking Technique] to get the magic lock, and then ordered the little devil following behind: "Go, open it."
Hearing these words, the little devil immediately jumped up from the ground and screamed loudly: "Master! I didn't make a mistake this time! You can't let me die! That damn box is set up at a glance.
An amazingly powerful magic trap."
You don't need to ask to know that this guy secretly released a [Detection Magic] just now, and you can see the dazzling arcane aura on the box.
"Relax, you're not really going to die." Zuo Si comforted him with a malicious smile.
"No! No! No! I don't want to experience that bad feeling anymore. You might as well summon a skeleton or something else to do such dangerous work. After all, I'm more useful than them."<
/p>
The little devil shook his head desperately and looked pitiful.
Ever since it realized its current state, it could no longer think of any resistance, just like when it faced those powerful high-level devils.
The character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong has been deeply rooted in the bones of this evil creature.
"In that case, I will give you a chance. Remember, if you dare to play any tricks again, or violate the rules, I promise to throw you into a jar filled with liquid silver and suffocate to death."
p>
Having said that, Zuo Si quickly completed the link in the "Book of the Dead" [Summoning the Undead].
I saw a summoning circle suddenly appearing on the ground out of thin air.
Immediately after, a human skeleton warrior holding a sharp blade walked out.
Since it was a low-level undead with little intelligence, it immediately walked to the box under the summoner's guidance and opened the lid of the box with an axe.
Instantly!
