Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 147 Domain Power
Looking through the properties and functions of the "Dead Scepter", I found that there was no property that could increase the success rate of signing the "Soul Contract", no property that could increase the upper limit of mental power, and no expected "Soul Summoning" ability. My first feeling was a bit disappointed. Even though the magic staff of the necromancer usually does not have the property of increasing the upper limit of mental power, and it is not convenient to duplicate the function of "Death Control", as a main artifact, it should have the ability of "Soul Summoning". If it can be increased by 15%, it may help me break through the bottleneck of summoning between the ninth-level intermediate and ninth-level upper-level undead. As long as there is enough mental power limit to match, my strength can immediately reach a higher level.
However, there are many types of artifacts, each with different properties and functions. The "Dead Scepter" is not the only artifact-level weapon for undead wizards. "Tianxia" is not opened by my family. I can do whatever I want and give it to me. It is the most useful to me. With a stick in hand, I have the world. It can immediately make me the invincible "number one in the world". The properties and functions have been determined and there is no possibility of change. I have it and I will make the best of it. The artifacts outside the system are just more difficult to obtain. Compared with normal artifacts, it does not mean that they will have stronger functions, but the "Dead Scepter" is also a main artifact. It cannot be too weak. It should be of some help to me.
The three attributes attached are easy to understand. As a hidden attribute, "Death's Dinner" will not be used now, so there is no need to consider it. "Death Gate" is just an auxiliary ability that has little to do with combat. What I am most concerned about is the "Death Domain" as a direct attack skill. I dare not expect it to be comparable to the powerful attack effects of weapons such as "Thor's Hammer" and "Blood-sucking Gun" of neutral professions with the same main artifact. It can't be too inferior. It's just that the literal introduction is too simple. It's hard to imagine the specific effect. At first glance, it doesn't seem to have a very strong effect, far less practical than the "God's Domain" of the Knight of Light. I read it over and over again, but I can't infer what kind of power it has. I can't wait to verify it in practice to see what kind of effect the so-called "Death Domain" can play. Is it worthy of the reputation of the main artifact and "domain", can it be comparable to the "God's Domain", or is it a useless skill.
Not wanting to waste any more time to move, he held the "Death Scepter" in this empty meeting hall and activated the "Death Field". After consuming 15% of his mental power, the end of the "Death Scepter" immediately lit up with a dazzling black light, and began to enter the charging preparation stage. It did not take much time from the start to the successful release of the "Death Field". About twenty seconds was enough, which was much less time than the eighth-level magic "Unparalleled Guardian", but during the casting, he was required to concentrate and stand still. He could not move, otherwise the casting would be interrupted immediately, wasting 5% of his mental power in vain.
Countless black ripples shot out from the end of the "Death Scepter", spreading in all directions, covering the space of ten meters around me. This is the original minimum attack range of the "Death Domain" when it first appeared. As long as I have a thought, I can immediately expand the coverage range. As I wish, I can expand it to any . I can also freely adjust the frequency of releasing the "Death Ripple", but I can only make a comprehensive unified adjustment. There is no way to speed up or slow down the attack speed specifically at a certain point or in a certain direction. Compared with my mental power limit, the consumption of continuously launching the "Death Domain" is not much. At this speed, even if I maintain the largest attack area of 100 meters, I can release the "Death Ripple" at the fastest frequency that can be achieved. Without other consumption, I can fully support it for more than half an hour. This is just the effect of the display in the human world. If it is in the "Death Space", with the 800% mental power limit increased by the "Supreme Witch Crown" and "Blood Emperor Robe", it can support it for a longer time.
Hey, I suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon - I am in the meeting hall and in a state of combat, why don't I increase my attack, defense and agility by 30%? The displayed value is normal. Could it be that the "Death Realm" and the "God's Realm" have similar characteristics, which are equivalent to opening up an independent space, and being in it will not be affected by the external environment? Then when I participate in the attack on the Cathedral of Light, especially the central meeting hall of other mercenaries, I will no longer be restricted by the "Holy Disk", and I will break the opponent's advantage of increasing and decreasing both attributes. Wouldn't it be possible to take advantage? However, the launch of this "Death Realm" is a bit too bland, far less magnificent and imposing than the "God's Realm" of the Knight of Light. Falling behind will suffer. The leading power of design is in the hands of companies in Western developed countries. Perhaps this is also intentional, and they want to show a win everywhere.
Because of this unexpected discovery, I was a little excited. I heard a "creak" and the two doors of the tightly closed meeting hall were pushed open. Several figures rushed in. Before I could raise my eyes to see who was so reckless and forced their way in without waiting for me to lift the restriction of "no outsiders allowed to enter", I heard the man in the front shouting, "A-Dai, good boy, you are amazing. You finally unlocked the 'Dead Scepter' and became the first player in Tianxia to have three artifacts in one so quickly. You have surpassed the highest honor. I can't help but admire your luck as a rookie player. It is really enviable."
There was no need to look anymore, this voice has been with me for several years. I knew who it was the moment I heard it. It was such a coincidence that he returned to the base just when I successfully defeated Michael's clone and was officially announced by the system as possessing the "Scepter of the Dead", and congratulated me so timely.
The people who entered the meeting hall were Afeng, Xue Wuxia, Xiaoyue, Longkong and others. I hurried over to meet them. I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly realized that I was still casting the "Death Field". I was about to retract it, but suddenly I wanted to play a joke on Afeng who was rushing in front. Looking at his posture of rushing over, with his arms wide open, his intention was obvious. He wanted to give me a "bear hug" as usual, and picked me up and swung me around a few times, even though I was a magician with poor physique and strength. He also called it the "glorious knight's windmill congratulation method", saying that it was not enough to express his excitement that he could not restrain himself. Whenever he was in a good mood, he would do this to me. Although I "blamed" him many times, I asked him to think of another way to congratulate him, but he always made various excuses and refused to change his ways. Now it is obvious that he is going to make the same mistake again. I can just take advantage of the "Death Field" which does not distinguish between friend and foe and may accidentally hurt companions to take a small revenge on him. At the same time, I can test the actual combat effect of the "Death Field" to see if it can bring me other surprises.
Deciding to return the favor to Afeng for his previous rude behavior, I immediately reduced the coverage of the "Death Field" to the smallest area of 10 meters, and then suddenly expanded it to put Afeng in a dilemma. He could not escape. At the same time, I adjusted the release frequency of the "Death Ripple" to the minimum, and what appeared was only a series of slowly spreading faint black ripples, which did not look like an attack skill. In order to avoid the situation being too eye-catching and strange, it would easily arouse his vigilance.
When Afeng entered the distance of 50 to 60 meters, I immediately expanded the "Death Field" to cover all areas within a radius of 100 meters, just excluding Xue Wuxia and Xiaoyue who were lagging behind. To avoid harming innocent people. At the same time, I did not immediately increase the release frequency of the "Death Ripple", because I did not know the specific damage it could cause, and I did not know Afeng's current state. It was safer to test slowly, so as not to kill him all at once if he did not have much health left.
The rapidly spreading "Death Wave" swept across Afeng's body. His body, which was rushing forward, suddenly stagnated, as if he felt something strange. However, it might be because he didn't show off like the "God's Domain". He didn't stop because of inertia, or because he was not prepared for me. That's true. He was equipped with "Silver Armor", which can effectively weaken the damage caused by magic attacks. The attack power of undead magic is not as strong as other types of magic. The "Death Wave" with the minimum output power should not cause much damage to him. I immediately increased the frequency of release. Black waves quickly spread from the end of the "Dead Scepter", increasing the impact on Afeng. Xue Wuxia, Xiaoyue and the others behind him noticed something strange and stopped moving forward, not rashly entering the attack area.
Afeng finally realized something was wrong, stopped, and looked at me in surprise. "Ah Dai, what are you doing? Are you attacking me? Hey, the Council Hall is in a combat state, why didn't I increase my attribute value by 10%? Are you playing tricks on me?" As expected, it has similar properties to the "God's Domain". The "Death Domain" is an independent space, and it finally lives up to the name of this "domain". Looking further, Afeng's body began to shake. Every time a "death ripple" passed by, it would cause him to shake. Under the continuous impact, his body was like a small tree in the wind, swaying with the wind. He was a little unstable and staggered. Although he was not shaken to the ground, it had a significant impact on his movements and he could no longer approach me smoothly. It seems that in addition to the direct attack damage, the "death ripple" also has an effect similar to "shock", which hinders the movement of those who enter.
"You little brat, I came back early so that I could congratulate you as soon as possible after your success, and I have been waiting outside for several hours. I didn't expect that you, a heartless and ungrateful guy, would greet me in such a way. It really makes me sad." Afeng "cried" to me while trying his best to steady himself with a sad expression on his face.
"Boo-hoo!" Before I could respond, the little girl behind me couldn't help but laugh. "Ah Feng, what do you mean by congratulations? That's not what you said when you asked us to come back and wait outside. You said it was to comfort Ah Dai in time after his failure so that he wouldn't be too disappointed. It didn't seem like you thought Ah Dai could succeed."
"In that case, I'm sorry, could you please stay in there for a while and help me check out the power of the 'Scepter of the Dead'?" I increased the release frequency of the "Death Wave" to the maximum, forcing Afeng to concentrate on dealing with it and no longer have the time to talk to me. However, the closer he got to me, the more his body shook, and each step forward became more difficult.
Seeing that I had tortured Afeng enough and understood the basic functions of the "Death Field", I finally ended the skill and freed him. "How do you feel? How powerful is it?"
A Feng finally steadied his pace. "This should be the special ability of the 'Dead Scepter' you just got. It seems to block the influence of the outside environment. I can't get the 50% attribute bonus granted by the Council Hall. The direct damage caused is not too high. At least I can withstand it. But the continuous shock is quite troublesome. The closer it is to you, the greater the power. It's not easy to get close to you."
Xue Wuxia, Xiaoyue and the others came forward at this time, congratulated me one by one, and listened to my brief introduction of what happened. Finally, Afeng came forward with an indignant look on his face. He still didn't change his bad habits, and insisted on picking me up in a "bear hug" and swung me around for a few rounds, and just as he put me down, he suddenly showed his "Blood-sucking Gun", quickly transformed into a "three-headed and six-armed" being, and stabbed at me, "You little bastard, you actually dared to plot against me just now. You embarrassed me, it's great that you got a new artifact, don't forget that I have one too. If you have the guts, don't turn into a bat and run away, I'll show you how I can deal with you. Anyway, you're going to commit suicide back to the 'Dead Space' later, so let me be kind and take the initiative to give you a ride."
While dodging his continuous attacks, I looked for an opportunity to swing the "Scepter of Death", cast the "Dead Gate" towards the back, turned around and fled to the gate, "Even if I don't transform into a bat to dodge, you still can't do anything to me. And there's no need to trouble you to see me off, I will go back to the 'Dead Space' by myself, thank you for your kindness." I turned around and waved hurriedly to Xue Wuxia, Xiaoyue and the others, and before Afeng arrived, I rushed into the "Dead Gate", left the human world, entered the "Dead Space", and appeared at the place where I left last time.
The place where I appeared was the "Hell Volcano". When I cast the "Death Domain", the "Volcano Barrier" also lost its effect on me. Even if I didn't equip the "Phoenix Feather Cloak", I wouldn't be hurt by the fire attribute. In this way, the harsh natural environment of the "Abyss" and "Lost Kingdom", which ranked first and second in the four forbidden areas, should no longer pose a big threat to me. As long as there is enough mental support and relying on the power of the "domain", not only I can bring my subordinates in and out freely. Moreover, with the increase of the mental power limit, although the maximum coverage of the "Death Domain" has not been expanded, the maximum release frequency of the "Death Ripple" has increased a lot, and the power has been further enhanced. Although I entered the "Death Space" through the "Death Gate" and was no longer restricted by the six-hour resurrection time, the sixteen-hour online time limit today has been almost used up, and I will soon have to go offline to rest. Once I went offline, I automatically left the "Dead Space". When I came online again the next day, I appeared in the meeting hall where I had left through the "Dead Gate". It seems that the "Dead Gate" should be the place where I left and the place where I returned, and I cannot choose the place where I appear at will.
April 15th was the day when the Fire-Bone Lizard Silando accepted the challenge of the Hades Dragon. Originally, he just planned to try his luck. Even if he failed, it would not lead to serious consequences. He did not have much chance of winning. But now he can finally use the "Scepter of the Dead". Relying on several newly added functions, Silando may be able to successfully pass this challenge of the Hades Dragon.
Facing a Hell Dragon that was at least level 10, much stronger than Silando, who was unable to effectively stop him, the "Death Domain" should not be of much use, but the two properties of increasing the success rate of casting undead magic by 5% and reducing the time limit for casting non-summoning undead magic by 5% should have a significant impact on the battle situation. In such a fierce battle where every second counts, once the "Sacrifice" magic applied to Silando exceeds the time limit, it must be reapplied immediately. During this period, the Hell Dragon will never relax its attack on Silando. If it is delayed for a few more seconds at certain critical moments, it may cause more or even more serious damage. The success rate of casting has been improved, the trouble caused by magic failure has been reduced, and the necessary time limit for casting has been reduced. The "Sacrifice" and "Soul of the Dead" magics can be applied to Silando in a more timely manner to strengthen its protection.
The Hell Dragon Challenge began. Although Silando was one level lower than the Level 8 Intermediate Flame Flying Snake, he was stubborn by nature and belonged to the volcanic alien race that could evolve into the Hell Dragon. His performance was better than Qitlei's. Facing the tyrannical Hell Dragon, he did not show any instinctive fear. It was mainly due to the influence of the "Dragon's Might" and the power of the "Soul Contract". He might not have enough courage to take the initiative to attack, but his ability to dodge and escape was not greatly affected, and his performance was basically normal. With the help of the "Dead Scepter", I was able to cast the "Sacrifice" magic for Silando more timely, and I was able to find more opportunities to quickly cast the "Dead Soul" to heal its injuries. We worked closely together and persisted as much as we could, hoping to survive the six-hour challenge time limit.
