Now that Noland Lee had cracked the magic protective shield, wouldn’t the Empire side be like an unstoppable force, crushing the enemy with ease?
As if clinging to life, a Cannonball Giant crawled on the ground, the sound of its ammo loading echoing from inside its body.
Just as it was about to fire at the War Spirit in front of it, Lieutenant Slyke Thompson stopped it.
“No need to bother with that weakling. The Undead Cult requires the War Spirits stationed at guard posts to treat the watchtower as their phylactery and fight to the death. We’ve destroyed the magic shield and the watchtower, which is as good as destroying their phylactery. That guy will die soon; it’s not worth our ammunition.”
“Clack clack… ”
The moment Lieutenant Slyke’s words fell, a series of crisp noises sounded from the War Spirit that was leaning on the Bone Treasure Sword.
Its bones were cracking, and the Bone Treasure Sword had many cracks as well.
The crisp noises grew more intense, like firecrackers exploding.
The War Spirit’s body shed countless bone fragments and dust, and finally, amidst a deafening sound of cracking, it collapsed in a heap of bone fragments.
The black gem embedded in its forehead shattered instantly, sinking into the ruins.
The same happened to the Bone Treasure Sword in the War Spirit’s hand.
A chill wind blew, sweeping up the dust in the ruins, causing the soul of the War Spirit to scatter and perish on the spot.
What did Lieutenant Slyke Thompson just say?
That watchtower was the War Spirit’s phylactery!
Noland Lee’s pupils shuddered, and a trace of ecstasy flickered in his eyes.
He tried to suppress the joy in his heart, controlling his facial expressions and breathing rate, appearing perfectly composed, but his mind was already filled with thoughts.
What is a phylactery?
Hehe.
Just thinking about it, Noland Lee couldn’t help but secretly smile.
A phylactery is a death-type magic artifact used by sentient undead creatures to protect their souls.
Undead creatures will not die as long as their souls remain unvanquished.
The soul is the essence of an undead creature.
Powerful undead create a phylactery to properly store and protect their souls from being destroyed by enemies.
Put in game terms, a phylactery is the respawn point of an undead creature. As long as the undead creature’s soul isn’t destroyed, it can be revived through the phylactery.
Destroying the phylactery is equivalent to destroying the undead’s soul, which means completely killing the undead.
Noland Lee never thought that the Undead Cult would ask the War Spirits to treat the watchtower as their phylactery.
What a pleasant surprise!
