Chapter 394 Magic Array, Secret Rune
Chapter 394 Magic Array, Secret Rune
"The functions of these runes are different from what I imagined."
Li Ang frowned and thought, according to his own understanding of the magic circle, he can deduce the basic structure of the relevant magic circle through observation and memory, and then design the magic circle according to his own method.
However, the runes in front of him do not belong to the magic circle, but pure patterns, which can only be regarded as a bunch of magic symbols.
This means that these runes do not have a fixed model, as long as they are arranged in a certain order, a set of complex magic arrays can be constructed.
In short, there is no fixed template for their trajectory.
Li Ang frowned, the situation made him rather tricky.
If there is no fixed template, it may be more difficult to find a suitable arrangement order.
After all, he is not a great magician, and it is impossible for him to record the operation rules of the magic circle in such a short period of time.
"what to do……"
Li Ang scratched his head and decided to try to assemble these runes to create a magic circle. In this way, even if there is no fixed template, he can still obtain part of the magic circle effect and reduce own trouble.
Li Ang filled the ink with a quill pen, and drew along the lines of the magic circle map.
The lines of the magic circle are intricate, one after another, intertwined and intertwined like a spider web. Li Ang painted each line once, and after confirming that it was correct, he added a little paint on the edge of each line to make them show freshness. Ink marks.
After finishing all this, Li Ang marked a circle on the left side of the drawing with a quill pen dipped in ink, and drew the line of this circle into the symbol on the right side.
In this way, the original map became fragmented and completely confused.
Li Ang threw away the quill, stretched his arms, stretched his muscles, and moved his sore wrists and shoulders.
"Um?"
He glanced at the pattern on the right, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
The lines in that circle seem to be messy and loose, but actually imply a mysterious rhythm, which is outlining something.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinized the lines carefully, and turned his head rapidly, looking for clues.
Soon, he found a small black spot at the end of the line.
Li Ang reached out and touched the black spot, the tentacles were cold and hard, like a stone or a crystal.
"This thing is... a gemstone?"
Li Ang muttered to himself, stretched out his hand to dig out the crystal from the atlas, pinched it in his palm, held it with the other hand, and looked at it carefully.
The black crystal has sharp edges and corners, in the shape of a rhombus, about the size of a fingernail, with fine lines engraved on the surface, but it has been blurred and distorted, and it is impossible to tell what material it is.
Li Ang leaned close to the tip of his nose and smelled a faint fragrance, like the unique smell of a certain flower.
"Well, this thing doesn't seem to be poisonous."
He muttered, put the crystal in his pocket, and continued to study the map of the magic circle.
Different from the map of the magic circle just now, this map contains a strong power of Death.
Li Ang tried to use Mental Energy to infect the core area of the magic circle, but encountered a rebound.
This death force is endless, and it keeps hindering Li Ang.
"As expected of a relic left by King Edwin, it really isn't simple."
Li Ang was amazed, and raised his hand, ready to destroy all these magic circles.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded:
【Ding! Target item detected, unknown item (soul), can be absorbed. 】
Li Ang was stunned, what is the situation?
Could it be that there is a connection between these magic circles and the soul?
No way, the soul is not an item, how could it be absorbed?
Li Ang hesitated for a second, but still chose to follow the system's requirements, throwing the crystal into the air, then closed his eyes, and silently recited the spell, urging the magic circle to work.
Buzz buzz! ! !
A low and depressing roar came from the magic circle, and the whole pyramid began to vibrate, and the walls and floor tiles rustled down, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Li Ang hurried to the door, stood by the window sill and looked down.
In the depths of the forest below, a large black hole appeared in the bushes, surrounded by dense black gaps.
A viscous, foul-smelling liquid flowed through the gaps, like rotten mud.
And there is more than one black hole, densely spread throughout the depths of the forest, a total of thirty-six black vortexes of different sizes, slowly rotating around the trees, as if devouring something.
Kacha~ Kacha~ Kacha~
A strange sound came from the ground, as if something was crawling upwards, which made people shudder.
"Damn..."
Li Ang gritted his teeth and cursed, and immediately walked towards the room, took out a white candle the size of a matchbox, inserted it into the groove of the bed, then opened the cabinet, rummaged around, and finally found a pair of old glasses worn on the bridge of the nose superior.
"call."
Li Ang let out a long breath and adjusted his vision.
He saw near the black hole, a group of grey-brown, robust wolfhounds jumping out of the shadows, and pounced on the surrounding monsters.
The bodies of these monsters are translucent, with a large number of cracks on their bodies, as if they may collapse and dissipate at any time.
"It turns out that these monsters are soldiers who maintain the safety of the town. No wonder they didn't directly attack the magic circle, but chose to hide and attack."
Li Ang suddenly realized that this should be the task given to the soldiers by the Magicians Association.
However, although there are a lot of these soldiers, their strength is not very good. Most of them are only around level 2, and many of them are even level 3 professionals.
What's more, they are not good at magic circles, and there is only one dead end to resist monsters with their flesh and blood.
The battle lasted for about five minutes. In the end, the soldiers screamed and fell down in pieces.
The remaining wolfhounds frantically bit and ate the broken limbs, leaving only blood stains and corpse fragments all over the place.
At this time, several non-commissioned officers on horseback rushed in, dragged the mutilated monster away, and cleaned the battlefield.
"You guys came just in time."
Li Ang walked out of the room, beckoned to the sergeant, and handed over the map of the magic circle that he had deciphered, "Help me to see if there is a problem."
The sergeant froze for a moment, looked at the parchment in his hand, his pupils suddenly dilated, showing a horrified expression.
Li Ang noticed the sergeant's abnormal behavior, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, reached out to grab the parchment scroll, and saw the magic circle on the scroll, his face suddenly froze.
——This is not a magic circle at all, nor is it alchemy, but an evil spell similar to a curse!
According to the description on the scroll, the function of this spell is to curse all life forms, including souls!
This is a powerful and suffocating evil witchcraft, but unfortunately, the caster is dead.
"Could it be that the casting material of this spell is the soul?"
