Chapter 363 Death Power
Just as Richard approached the platform, the coffins around him suddenly opened, and then ancient mummies emitting terrifying auras appeared before his eyes.
"Protection from evil!"
"The Arcane Fire of Entropy!"
Richard casually cast a spell to add protection, and then set the ancient mummies on fire.
At the same time, the sarcophagi on both sides of the hall suddenly opened, and mummies walked out of the sarcophagi one after another.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Scanning detected the fluctuation of the [Terrible Aura] field!"
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Scanning detected fluctuations in the field of [Despair Aura]!"
"Alarm! Alarm!"
"Scanning detected the fluctuation of the [Death Aura] field!"
Click!
The sarcophagus that was originally tightly closed on the stone platform suddenly opened at this moment, and then a more powerful mummy appeared before his eyes.
The force field belonging to the demigod creature's domain quickly spread out.
"It seems that the owner here does not welcome us!" Richard said with his hands spread out.
Accompanied by the flying dust, a tall mummy pounced towards Richard. Completely different from the other slow-moving mummies, the mummy in front of him was very fast. Accompanied by a gust of wind, the demigod mummy appeared before his eyes.
"boom!"
A dull loud noise was heard, and the half-mummy flew backwards at a faster speed than before, and the huge force directly smashed a sarcophagus behind it.
The golden staff instantly appeared in Richard's hand, and he hit it back fiercely. The challenge level of the demigod mummy in front of him was as high as level 25, which could be said to be more powerful than Andalia in the first act.
"【Elemental Realm】Open!"
"Firestorm!"
Richard's staff fell, and in an instant, a powerful domain force with him as the center quickly expanded, directly destroying the domain force that originally covered this place.
The golden light expanded in all directions from under his feet. Wherever it passed, other forces retreated. The temple that was originally shrouded in darkness and the power of death was also defeated by this force at this moment.
Although this demigod mummy possesses the three domain powers of [Terror], [Despair], and [Death], each of these domain powers is just at the entry level, and will be crushed when facing Richard's domain power.
The confrontation between fields is the most direct competition. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it!
Richard's current domain has reached the middle level of divine power, and instantly enveloped the entire Death Temple. The domain power of the half-mummy can only be maintained within its own body, and cannot expand outwards at all.
As for the ordinary mummies and ancient mummies beside them, they were just cannon fodder in a battle of this level. They didn't even qualify as cannon fodder.
When facing this kind of domain power, if you cannot resist the domain of others, then your attack will not be able to do any damage. Flavius next to him kept shooting with a bow and arrow, and countless arrows flew out. Those ancient mummies were shot directly into hedgehogs.
Various magical powers continued to attack them, and with the crushing of Richard's domain, soon the mummies were killed one after another.
The mummies turned into charcoal in the flames. Richard held a staff in his hand, flashed, and smashed the staff on the mummy's head. The bandages on the half-body mummy's body instantly bounced out, trying to stop it, but were torn off by the golden scepter.
Richard swung the staff in his hand quickly, and in the blink of an eye, countless rays of light and shadows were swung out. The golden light and shadows kept falling, and the half-mummy had no power to fight back in front of Richard.
He wanted to flash away, but the surrounding space had long been blocked by Richard's domain. He wanted to use corrosive poison, but Richard completely ignored him. With a physique of over forty, his resistance to toxins was terribly high.
As for its terrifying gaze, Richard was directly immune to it. As for its other spell-like abilities, they were all restrained by the spells that Richard had prepared long ago.
The Supreme Arcane Council of the Motera world has already made detailed records of powerful monsters like the Half-Mummy, and they know exactly what abilities it possesses.
Faced with Richard, who knew his background and moves clearly and whose strength was overwhelming, the half-mummy didn't even have a chance to resist.
"Demon Sword of Destruction!"
A destructive force appeared in his hand, and then was directly added to the staff. The continuous attacks had made the half-mummy unable to resist, but the undead creatures were famous for their tenacity, but Richard didn't want to waste time with him.
The bandages on the half-mummy were instantly cut off by Richard, and even the flesh inside, which had long been shriveled, broke under this attack. The thick bandages and shriveled flesh gave him a strong ability to reduce physical damage, making him more resistant than other demigod creatures.
Richard tore through the void, and the space fragments added a layer of space power to his staff. Each of his attacks was equivalent to a dimensional slash.
This is an underground space with a small scope. Although many powerful spells are very powerful, their huge destructive power can easily destroy the entire temple. This temple has collapsed, and if you want to find the Horadric Cube, you really have to look for it in the sand.
Under Richard's attack, the death of the half-mummy was only a matter of time. If it was on the ground, Richard would have torn it into bones and burned it.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound.
The golden staff struck the head of the half-mummy fiercely, and the skull that was originally as hard as Iron Man's cracked under this force. The realm of death could no longer protect him.
The life of the half-mummy came to an end. After all the domains were completely destroyed, the half-mummy's body collapsed. The bandages that were originally wrapped around his body had all broken and burned, revealing a brown, shriveled body.
Then the powerful fire of entropy ignited its body as well.
Call!
With a sigh, the entire Temple of Death trembled slightly, and then the half-mummy's body turned directly into dust. A handsome shadow emerged, and his face looked very much like that of a desert nation.
Then a gust of wind blew, the phantom disappeared instantly, the golden spots of light quickly gathered, and finally a strange crystal stone appeared, which was black but flashing with a faint golden glow.
Richard waved his hand gently, and the black crystal fell into his hand. Feeling the fluctuation of divine power in it, Richard simply tested it and found that this divine crystal contained at least seven points of divine power.
Five of these divine powers are death divinities. Strictly speaking, the life span of a demigod should be very long, definitely not just a thousand years. Obviously, this son of the desert god had lived for a long time before establishing the desert kingdom.
At the same time, he was somewhat curious about this Son of the Desert God. He established this kingdom most likely to become a god, but unfortunately his rule could not bring him enough faith, or he did not have enough power to condense the Godhead and priesthood of death.
Finally, realizing that his life was coming to an end, he chose to become a demigod mummy, hoping to continue to gather power and condense his godhood after death. Unfortunately, his desert empire soon fell apart after his death.
From this huge temple of death and the remaining ruins in the desert, it can be seen that his rule was quite brutal. The desert pantheon is also one of the pantheons that likes blood sacrifice the most, which can be seen from the huge burial pit.
Enslaving people in a cruel way can only make them fearful, but it cannot provide him with enough power of faith to help him condense the godhood and priesthood of the God of Death.
Instead, it condensed fear and despair, which was completely the opposite of the situation.
If you didn't succeed in becoming a god during your lifetime, you naturally can't succeed after your death. There is a reason why the desert pantheon eventually died out. As for the current gods of the Motera world, none of them would accept blood sacrifices, and all of them even listed the gods who performed blood sacrifices as evil gods.
Richard put the divine crystal into his pocket, then walked towards the platform in the hall. On the platform was a square box, which was the Horadric Cube that Richard was looking for.
After he picked up the cube and took a quick look at it, he found that it indeed contained a powerful force of rules, and there were twelve spaces inside the box for storing things.
Richard put the Horadric Cube into his belt. On the platform, there was also a scroll and a golden scale. The scroll was not big at this time. It was made of gold. The gold was made very thin, and then the gold was made into a scroll.
This scroll contains a power of death, which is exactly the same as the power of death on the half-mummy's body. It is obvious that even if this scroll was not made by Him, it has a deep relationship with Him.
Richard opened the scroll, which was written in a kind of hieroglyphics. These hieroglyphics were very similar to the hieroglyphics in the temple, but more profound and obscure.
However, with the spell of proficiency in language, Richard could read the texts without any obstacles.
These hieroglyphs are not static. Under the influence of the death power on the scroll, these characters seem to be alive and can flow.
After seeing these words, Richard understood that these golden scrolls were books written by the half-mummy using his own death domain. This golden scroll was his understanding of the power of death.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you recognize the hieroglyphs on the scroll or not, because what really matters is the power of the rule of death.
Seeing this golden scroll, Richard was overjoyed and quickly put it away. Richard had always wanted to get involved in the field of death, but until now, his progress was limited.
The power of death is not so easy to master, and Richard only has two points of death divinity. With the death divinity, he can exert some death power, which is very useful to deal with some difficult enemies.
If a necromancer gets this scroll, as long as he successfully completes the study, he will immediately become a master of the necromancy school. (In the previous chapter, a reader talked about the origin of the necromancer. Now I have changed it. The necromancer absorbed some knowledge from the desert kingdom and improved the system power.)
After putting away the scroll, Richard picked up the golden scale. The scale looked ordinary and there was no power of rules on it. It seemed to be just an ordinary golden scale.
Richard picked up the golden scale and examined it carefully, and found that this golden scale should be the artifact that the half-mummy prepared for himself.
The power of faith is condensed on the scales. After all, the Son of the Desert God promoted the belief in the God of Death. In the belief in the God of Death, the scales are very important. The God of Death uses them to measure good and evil. It is very important to judge the soul and weigh good and evil.
This scale is a tool for weighing good and evil. The soul is placed on one end of the scale, and the feather of good and evil is placed on the other end. Unfortunately, this thing is only useful in the hands of the god of death or death-related gods. In the hands of others, it has no use except being sold as gold.
After completing this mission, Richard checked again and confirmed that there was nothing else in the secret room. Then he took Flavius and left the Temple of Death.
Although he had cleared out a lot of mummies in the center of the Death Temple, it wouldn't be long before all kinds of undead creatures would reappear here. After destroying the demigod mummy, Richard asked the system tower spirit to scan it again.
It turns out that the temple of death was built in this way to gather the power of death. This temple will naturally gather the power of death. The demigod mummy prepared a lot of work, but ultimately failed.
A beam of teleportation light rose up, and the next second two figures appeared in the desert. The guide who had been waiting here saw Richard and the other man, and hurriedly greeted them respectfully.
"My lord, the food is ready, please enjoy it!"
"Well done." Richard nodded slightly. The guide was very happy to hear Richard's praise and quickly took Richard to a tent in the leeward place.
After a brief rest, Richard prepared to go to Viper Canyon and Sandworm Nest. In Viper Canyon was the power of the current solar eclipse, and Richard wanted to gain the knowledge here. On the other side, in the Sandworm Nest, there was an item that needed to be taken.
The big bug in the second act is hiding in a secret room, and the Horadric Staff is the key to open the door.
Although the big bug was disgusting, its soul was at least a legendary soul crystal. In addition to the big bug, Richard also planned to take away the soul crystals of the three demon gods of hell.
The true strength of the Three Demon Gods of Hell is very strong. Richard speculated that they are at least weak divine power, and most likely medium divine power. As for strong divine power, it is unlikely.
If they were really powerful gods, this sanctuary would have been occupied by them long ago, and even the High Heaven would not be their opponent. Richard had studied the rules of this world, and the rules of this world were not perfect. In fact, they were not as perfect as the rules of Middle-earth.
The creator god in Middle-earth is also close to the level of powerful god power, let alone this world. The strength of the three demon gods in hell is most likely at the level of weak gods.
And much the same is true of the Highest Heaven.
