Chapter 1516 (1/2)
Alive, this description may have other meanings from the mouth of cheese. Because no matter how you look at it, those mural warriors have nothing to do with living creatures. Even the shadow mays that can change their own shape will not be so dull as them.
From these soldiers, we can't see what life should have. Those things can be joys, sorrows and joys at a small scale and a more subtle feeling at a large scale. This performance is especially reflected in man-made objects, that is, tools.
The clear purpose, unilateral limitations, non independence that cannot be completed by themselves, etc. instinctive judgment tells cheese that these soldiers are just tools.
But they are living tools. It is undeniable that they will be affected by the black magic he is now performing, which shows that the driving force of the mural soldier is not something else, but the vitality that is the same as the vitality emerging from his own interior.
This is interesting, because from the internal structure of the soldiers just defeated, even as the container of vitality, they are also unqualified. There is no structure that can keep vitality or take root. Relying only on yellow sand and paint is like making moving figures, even for magic.
Not to mention, they were mural symbols before.
”Wow!”
The quicksand fell, and the monster with a human face and a lion body turned into its original shape in front of the gray robe. Cheese looked down at his palm. The blood vessels and some black lines similar to blood vessels had spread. Like the flower and rattan patterns in the decorative painting, they began to climb and expand all the way along the runes in the palm, and there was a trend that they would grow on the back of the hand.
”Since you have used corrupt magic, why should you bear the cost yourself? Although your magic is limited, it's still possible to find a substitute.”
The old man's voice came from the depths of the pool. The corrupt magic in his mouth was the more widely recognized name of the black magic being used by cheese.
It is said that this spell came from a mage who can quickly turn fallen leaves into rotten soil. He provided these rotten fertilizers for areas with poor food production. However, later, people soon found that the fields with the fertilizer made by his magic not only did not have a good harvest, but even the crops that were still barely alive died quickly.
But it was too late to stop it. At that time, the influence of corruption magic had spread to many towns, and the consequence was that the small country where the disaster broke out directly changed from a bad harvest to a famine. But no one knows why the mage did that.
Indeed, for today's mages and black magic learners, the original purpose of the mage who invented and made this spell notorious is no longer verifiable, but all those who have learned this magic know that the Corruption spell is actually different from its visual effect.
Corruption spell is not a spell to steal life, it is a spell to destroy life, and the weapon to destroy is other life. In other words, the remaining vitality in the rotten leaves was not drained, but transformed into an anti vitality, which turned it into a terrible poison, although only for crops.
Cheese is doing the same thing now. He is offsetting the vitality of mural soldiers with anti vitality, so as to make them die. However, his different casting method from the conventional black magician is that he did not use the medium such as fallen leaves as the source of anti vitality. He directly used his own vitality. This is not equal to the direct service life, but if this consumption is too large, it can indeed lead to various bad consequences.
”It's not necessary. The vitality of these creations is incredibly fragile. Although they are really tough, it's still easy to destroy them by magic. I don't need a double to deal with them,” said cheese, and greeted the knife waving at him with the palm of his hand.
