Chapter 712 - Attacked First (2/2)

The walkers on the road were all skeletons, who were carrying a lot of items like machines.

Roland even saw some of them carrying human bodies to altars in different positions.

The three magic spiders split up in the camp and crawled in the hidden corners and inconspicuous places.

More and more pictures were sent back to Roland’s mind.

All the altars were made of gray-and-yellow bones… They were founded on a lot of leg bones and ribs, and at their top were human skulls that were placed next to each other.

Bodies could be found on many of the altars.

Some of the bodies were highly rotted. Some looked perfect and seemed to have just died. Even their faces were still red.

The magic spiders snuck on in the camp, and about an hour later, one of the spiders finally found an unusual place.

It was a cave.

Also, there were clearly footprints in the mud near the cave.

Footprints!

They were not what the skeletons’ feet should be like.

Roland had the magic spiders crawl in.

The floor and wall of the cave were both made of weird bricks with magic stripes.

The range of vision of the magic spiders wasn’t enough for them to see the whole picture of the stripes, but judging from their details, they must be part of a barrier.

But it was not the barrier that blocked the dark magic power.

The magic spiders crawled on the wall for a while. Then, Roland found that the pictures they sent back became darker and darker.

At first, Roland thought that it was because the cave was dim, but after a while, the pictures that the magic spiders sent back blurred.

“Wait, is my magic power being absorbed?” Roland was briefly stunned.

Then, one last picture was transmitted to Roland’s mind. In the highly blurred and twisted picture, it could be vaguely seen that a man wearing a wolf mask and a robe pointed his finger at “Roland.”

He was actually pointing at the magic spiders, but from the first perspective, he seemed to be pointing straight at Roland.

That was the last picture that the magic spiders sent back.

At the same time, Roland suddenly covered his head and stepped back.

Two streams of black smoke gushed out of his eyes and spread.

It was rather scary.

The girls around him were all shocked and quickly stepped back.

“We’ve been found!” Roland pressed on his head and shouted, “Please let your summoned beasts surround the valley. Don’t let anyone escape!” The girls were all very obedient. They took action the moment Roland gave an order. The tremendous number of beasts were divided into two rows and ran along the two sides of the valley, occupying every hill they passed.

More and more black smoke popped up from Roland’s head and soon enshrouded him.

“What’s going on with you?” asked Solisa. Then she said regretfully, “I don’t know much about magic, but can I use Dispersion on this?”

“No.” Roland’s voice came out of the black fog. “This thing swallows the flesh. It’s a powerful curse. Now, half my body has been corrupted. If you use Dispersion, you’ll be essentially dispersing me.”

“Then what do we do?” asked Solisa anxiously.

“Wait. I’ll take care of it.”

Roland’s voice became lower and lower, and his body bent in the black fog as if he were going to fall.

However, exactly at this moment, a ray of light beamed from the fog, and it became brighter and brighter, until Roland stood up again as a man of blue flames. “I was almost killed.”

Roland’s voice was dull after he became the Elemental Lord.

Solisa was relieved.

Roland had suffered from a Flesh Curse.

He had read about the spell from books earlier but never encountered it in reality.

It was one of the liches’ typical spells, and a combination of curses and divination spells.

It could locate the target with their information. The information could be the target’s magic power, hair, flesh, or even name!

Of course, the more specific the “information” was, the easier it would be to locate the target.

It was already powerful enough to locate with magic power. Only the Demigod liches could locate targets with names.

So, the lich had cast a Flesh Curse on Roland through the mental control link between the magic spiders and him.

If the curse wasn’t lifted quickly, it would devour the target’s flesh, and an undead skeleton that was under the lich’s control would arise from the target’s body.

That lich was definitely very strong. Roland’s magic resistance and Magic Shield didn’t work at all when he was hit.

Fortunately, Roland instantly initiated elementization and turned into fire.

Although Flesh Curse was a powerful spell, it could only be cast upon a living, flesh-and-blood creature.

It was absolutely useless to curse elemental creatures.

The blue flames, whose temperature was almost three thousand degrees, ignited the grass and quickly exhausted the dark magic power that attacked Roland.

“The wolf masks, and such a vicious spell. They must be my targets.”

Roland knew that he couldn’t hold back in front of enemies who had such creepy skills.

He turned his fiery hands upside down, and a blue fireball quickly expanded.

Seeing that, Solisa quickly directed the summoned beasts to move away from Roland.

The guy was about to launch a nuclear bomb. She certainly didn’t want to be killed.

Abundant fire elements were absorbed into the blue ball by Roland, and it got bigger and bigger.

It was already brighter than the sun when it grew to three meters in diameter.

Roland’s body of fire elements was a lifeless object, and there was no expression on his face, but Solisa could tell that Roland was grinning hideously even though she was far away.

as

What a vengeful man! As Solisa exclaimed to herself, the enormous fireball was launched.

As it quickly flew away, it looked smaller and smaller because of the longer distance.

Whether it was big or small, distant or close, it was the brightest in the eyes of the girls.

The environment, on the other hand, was dimming, as if it was eclipsed by the fireball.

In the end, it turned into a tiny spot of light and hit the very center of the valley.

“Boom!”

Solisa added a sound effect for the landing fireball. She also closed her hands and opened them, making a “blossoming” movement.

In that instant, the whole world seemed to be swallowed by the dazzling light.
