Because there is no hallucination that can cause such a terrifying physiological reaction to a vampire who is already an advanced undead creature.

Realizing this, Badi immediately lowered his head and glanced at his slightly bulging belly. He couldn't help but shiver and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! I have to think about it before Irenekas comes back.

A way to figure out what this thing is."

There is no doubt that this requires the help of one or even several very powerful mages or priests.

As a vampire, high-level priests basically have no hope.

When priests from the good or even neutral camp see a vampire, they probably have to purify them instantly.

As for the priests of the evil camp, if they encounter a vampire queen like Badi, they will immediately find ways to firmly control her with the power given by the gods, and then drive her to perform some very dangerous tasks.

In comparison, the mage is obviously a good choice.

But the problem is that there are not many truly capable mages in Askatra.

Among them, the Masked Mage Guild is undoubtedly the most powerful one on the surface.

But Badi knows that this organization has very deep connections with the Six-person Council of Amn and the Shadow Thieves, so looking for them may reveal some of its own secrets.

This means that there is only one option left, and that is to go to Zuo Si.

Although in Badi's eyes, this young chosen god is an out-and-out dangerous person, at least he abided by the agreement reached in advance in the transaction with Irenicas.

And apart from that, she also has no better choice.

……

On the other side, Zuo Si, who had been busy inside and outside the mage tower for several days, finally succeeded in building the weapon he wanted.

This is a long sword that exudes a dark blue light.

In order to carry more magical power, the sword body is a little thicker, giving people the feeling of a broad sword, but the edge of the sword shows irregular spikes and serrations.

A row of extremely complex magic runes can be clearly seen on the sword.

When the enemy casts a spell, whether it is arcane or divine, these runes will light up immediately.

At that time, Zuo Si can choose to use the power of this powerful weapon and decide whether to absorb the spell or reflect it back.

Like the Archmage's Staff, the Magic Sword can absorb up to fifty points of energy and store it.

This energy can be used to cast spells that remain within the sword body, or it can be simply shaped into energy forms such as arrows and released.

If the absorbed energy exceeds fifty points, it will not self-destruct like the Archmage's Staff. Instead, the overflow will be evenly distributed on the sword to strengthen its enchantment level.

At the same time, an invisible cover similar to energy protection is formed to protect the holder from energy attacks such as fire, lightning, strong acid, sound waves, cold, etc.

If all the stored energy is released at once, the sword body will release an energy beam up to ten meters long, which can be swung like a lightsaber and cause pure non-attribute magic damage to enemies within the radius.

However, things like energy overflow are obviously not a problem for planeswalkers.

Zuo Si can absorb the overflowing energy at any time and convert it into mana and store it.

The last and most important point is that it can speed up the holder's spell casting speed, omit part of the chanting of spells and spell casting actions, and allow all spells to gain a certain degree of strengthening.

In addition, this sword does not need to be held in the hand, as long as it is worn on the body, it will function normally.

It can be said that this staff in the shape of a long sword condenses Zuo Si's current understanding of magic. It is an out-and-out artifact.

Yes!

This is an artifact, not a sub-artifact.

Because Zuo Si injected part of the converted divine power into it.

So theoretically, this sword can be used to kill incarnations of gods and saints.

Of course, this is only in theory.

Just like the famous god-killing dagger "Zasman's Dagger" born in the Netheril era, although the target's defense level and divine power bonus can be ignored to a certain extent, the holder itself may not necessarily be able to compete with gods.

Therefore, gods do not need to deal with the artifact itself, they only need to kill the mortals holding the artifact.

Gently stroking the long sword and feeling the energy fluctuations coming from the sword, Zuo Si murmured to himself in a slightly excited tone: "Well - what should I name you? Why don't you call me Ni?

Come on. After all, making a staff look like a sword is a deviant move in the eyes of most spellcasters, and it is an out-and-out move against the trend."

[Artifact - Against the Tide]

This powerful artifact can be treated as a 5 sword, and provides the wielder with thirty points of additional spell resistance.

If you give up spell resistance, you can absorb the spells released by other people around you and convert them into energy to store in the sword body. The maximum limit can be stored at fifty points.

Similarly, you can also bounce back spells successfully released by the opponent.

However, each rebound requires a certain amount of energy points to be consumed based on the level of the spell.

These energy points can not only strengthen the enchantment level of the long sword, up to 10, but also can be shaped into various energy forms to attack opponents as needed.

Each energy point is equivalent to the damage of a three-ring magic lightning spell, and the power is calculated based on the caster level of the holder.

In addition, you can also form a magic absorption shield by consuming energy points.

For every point of energy consumed, the absorption shield can absorb fifty points of energy damage.

The holder's casting speed is increased by one-third, and the power of the spell is enhanced by one level. Its effect is equivalent to the metamagic skill [Spell Upgrade].

The above permanent effects will have an effect on all arcana, divine spells, and even magic spells.

If all fifty points of energy are released in one breath, a ten-meter-long beam of pure magical energy will tear apart all enemies.

Any target hit by the energy beam will not be cut in half, but will be torn into pieces under the impact of magic energy, and dissociation will occur randomly.

The higher the spell resistance, the lower the probability of being dissociated, and the higher the counterattack.

This artifact maintains a large amount of magic, among which the ones that require two points of energy to be released include [Energy Absorption], [Time Stop], [Space Lock], and [Spell Absorption].

Those that need to consume a little energy include [Dispel Magic], [Fireball], [Ice Storm], [Invisibility], [Knocking], [Wall Penetration], [Spider Web], [Bloody Words], [

Flying].

Finally, there are [Sealing Door Technique], [Giant Transformation Technique], [Shield Technique], [Grease Technique], and [Mage's Hand] that can be released at will without consuming energy.

There is no doubt that the counter-tide created by Zuo Si has far surpassed the Archmage's Staff.

With the help of this artifact, even if you don't use the planeswalker cards, you still have the confidence to face off against the most powerful legendary mages in a spell duel.

However, since he likes to hide his secret card in everything, he is not in a hurry to expose this trump card, but carefully inserts it back into the scabbard that he prepared in advance.

The moment the sword exuding dazzling arcane aura was inserted, all the violent magic fluctuations disappeared.

Even under the observation of arcane vision, there is not even the slightest bit noteworthy about going against the tide.

Obviously, the special scabbard completely conceals its edge.

Unless Zuo Si pulls it out with his own hands, the enemy will never realize that it is a powerful artifact.

After completing this step, he spent an astonishing amount of mana to make the weapon into a treasure card, and then summoned it again.

This is not to take off your pants and fart unnecessarily, but to ensure that the reverse tide will not be destroyed by spells such as the Great Disintegration.

Although the probability of the Great Disintegration destroying the artifact is only a few percent, as long as it is not zero, you need to take precautions in advance.

In fact, not only were they made into treasure cards against the trend, but all the important magic items on Zuo Si's body were also made into treasure cards without exception.

Although he himself does not like to use the Great Disintegration, many high-level and even legendary mages like to throw one at the opponent at the beginning of a battle.

This can be glimpsed from the fighting style of Irenikas.

After all, the sooner you destroy the enemy's powerful magic items, the higher your probability of winning will be.

As for the trophies, you have to win first before you are eligible to consider them.

Since there is no great god "Savorod" to worship in the real world, ensuring your own survival is the first priority, and everything else must be put in the back burner.

Just when Zuo Si was extracting the energy stored in the mage tower to replenish the empty mana pool, the consciousness of the tower suddenly notified through the spiritual connection: "Master, there is a female vampire at the door who wants to see you."

"Vampire?" Zuo Si was stunned for a moment.

He doesn't remember any interactions with vampires.

Even when I was working with Irenekas, I didn’t even say a few words to Badi.

"Yes, vampire. I detected that she was flying from the direction of the cemetery area." The tower consciousness quickly gave the corresponding information.

After more than a year of learning and growth, its intelligence level has obviously improved greatly, and it is no longer the "mentally retarded" person who often made common sense jokes at the beginning.

"Badi's subordinate? Interesting! Invite her to come in and wait for me in the lobby on the first floor."

Having said that, Zuo Si ignored the tower consciousness and concentrated on extracting energy to replenish his mana.

After about a few minutes, when the mana pool was recharged, he walked from the upper floor to the lobby on the first floor, and immediately saw the restless vampire at the door.

She has pointed ears and is obviously of elf blood or simply an elf. She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.

I don’t know if it’s a bad destiny, but when Badi transformed into descendants and spawns, he seemed to particularly like elves.

Almost two-thirds of her vampires are elves or half-elves.

Unless a human being is very capable, handsome, and beautiful, he or she will not even have a chance to join, and will be drained of blood and turned into a lifeless corpse in minutes.

"Good evening, Lord Thos, the chosen one of Talona, ​​the great goddess of poison and disease."
