Chapter 252 Melkor's Plan
"What's going on? Why did the fighting between Ihua and Melkor stop?" "
Do the two sides want to reconcile? That guy Melkor clearly deserves death. He killed us before. Many companions!"
"I didn't expect that the 'Blood Maker' Petain, who is the fifth-level tutor of the academy, could be so mean! He could even do the nasty thing of coveting and depriving his apprentice of his bloodline!" "Indeed, if it were someone else, I
would You may feel sympathy, but since it's Melkor, the bastard - I can only say that he deserves it!" While
dozens of surviving apprentices in the distance were engaged in heated discussions, a few apprentices noticed the focus of Yihua's words, With a look of surprise on his face, he asked:
"Wait a minute, what does Yi Hua mean by 'plan'? Melkor's mentor, 'Blood Maker' Petain, had given Melkor a plan before he entered the secret world. A well-known mission?"
"Losing the ability to communicate with the outside world...Suddenly attacked by a large number of terrifying shadows of the dead...I felt that this apprenticeship exam was weird before. Could it be that there is a mystery hidden in it?" On the other
side , Rey, who was severely injured in the previous confrontation with Melkor, has now recovered his mobility under the treatment of other apprentices, but his body is still a little weak.
He heard the conversation between Yihua and Melkor in the distance, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. He subconsciously said:
"Plan? Mission? What is going on? Am I not taking the apprenticeship exam?"
Ben He thought that this apprenticeship examination was a competition between himself and Melkor, but he didn't expect that now he became an outsider.
Melkor, who originally seemed to Rey to be on the same level as him, or at least slightly better than him, unexpectedly easily defeated him in the apprenticeship exam.
Even though Rey tried his best, he still didn't have the ability to stand up to Melkor.
In Rey's mind, Yihua, who although had a certain degree of strength, was still no match for him, suddenly appeared at a critical moment and showed his power to be on par with the terrifying Melkor.
Not only that, from the conversation between Ihua and Melkor just now, Rey realized that this apprenticeship exam is not as simple as it seems. Ihua and Melkor know a lot of information that other apprentices don't know at all!
The token expired, and the apprentices in the secret world were completely cut off from the outside world...
According to the information previously disclosed by Enzo, the strange power in the secret world was at most the level of a top first-class apprentice. However, now, the secret world The strange power in the world has skyrocketed to the level of a high-level third-level apprentice...
Relying on the keen intuition of the genius third-level apprentice, Rey subconsciously connected various anomalies in the current secret world with it.
Rey, who was puzzled, wanted to rush forward right now and ask Yihua, who seemed to know more.
But then he caught a glimpse of Melkor not far away from Yihua, and recalling the terrifying power of Melkor's blow that severely injured him, Rey finally resisted the desire to step forward and ask Yihua.
At the same time, after listening to Yihua's suggestion, Melkor did not fall into thinking as Yihua expected. Instead, he sneered and said with a mocking look on his face: "Haha, I didn't expect you to know a lot
. Is this your purpose in becoming a mentor?"
Yihua on the other side saw Melkor suddenly calm down, his eyes flashed, but he did not respond verbally.
Seeing that Yihua did not respond to him, Melkor said coldly:
"Unfortunately, my mission has been completed long ago. After the mission was completed, my mentor did not do anything to me. Compared to you, I trust my mentor Petain more!"
Compared to Ihua, who had a deep hatred against him, Melkor seemed to trust his mentor Petain more.
As soon as he finished speaking, Melkor's figure flashed, and he suddenly gave up his long-range attack and rushed towards Yihua.
In this regard, Ihua accurately grasped the key points of Melkor's words and realized that Melkor had entered the secret world and was indeed performing the task assigned to him by his mentor, and that the task had been completed. Yihua's face turned cold.
Although he didn't know what Melkor's plan was, he was currently in the middle of a battle and had no time to think deeply and no time to ask questions. Yihua didn't hesitate for a moment and decisively used the time of negotiation to use the summoning technique of the undead that he had constructed.
In an instant, along with the large space distortion around them, twenty faceless figures disguised as Yihua appeared again.
What Yi Hua and the other apprentices didn't know was that Melkor's words just now were half true and half false. It was true to complete the task assigned by his mentor, but it was false to trust his mentor Petain.
What really caused Melkor to decisively deny Yihua's proposal was the sound coming from the space ring that his mentor temporarily lent him.
Just when Yihua finished speaking, the voice of his mentor Petain suddenly came from an inconspicuous object in the space ring on Melkor's hand.
The other party claimed that he had no intention of harming Melkor, otherwise he would not have tried his best to cultivate Melkor in the past three years.
At the same time, he also confessed that when everything ends smoothly, he will find Melkor a bloodline that is not inferior to the Serpent of Shadows, or even more powerful, and transplant it to him.
Being able to explain to Melkor secretly in time after Yi Hua made his remarks questioning himself obviously meant that Petain was able to eavesdrop on the sounds around Melkor through the inconspicuous piece of debris in the space ring.
And that inconspicuous sundry was one of the materials given to him by his mentor Petain to build a temporary teleportation array that allowed him to secretly enter the secret world.
Previously, Petain had mixed that inconspicuous piece of debris into the materials for setting up the temporary teleportation array, and did not take the initiative to explain it.
In addition, Melkor later took the apprenticeship examination and did not bother to check carefully. Even after a cursory inspection, no abnormalities were detected in these materials.
So this piece of debris with eavesdropping and sound transmission functions was passed through, and was stored in the space ring temporarily lent to Melkor as an extra spare material for setting up a temporary teleportation array.
As for Petain's claim that he would search for it in the future and transplant him a bloodline that was comparable to that of the extraordinary life form - the Serpent of Shadows.
In Melkor's opinion, it was all a deliberate attempt to appease himself.
Yi Hua said earlier that the power of the blood plague transplantation would not affect the existing bloodline, and that Petain deliberately took this opportunity to take away the long-coveted Shadow Serpent bloodline. In Melkor's opinion, it was probably true.
Not to mention anything else, the secret placement of the listening device alone was enough to make Melkor suspicious of Petain.
However, due to being monitored by Petain at this moment, it was difficult for him to agree to Yihua's proposal and fall out with his mentor.
As for why his mentor Petain didn't kill himself, in Melkor's opinion, the reason was very simple.
Petain was an extremely cold-blooded wizard who believed that profit came first.
At that time, he had just set up a temporary teleportation array to secretly lead Petain to the secret world, but he did not collect too much power of the blood plague.
Even if Petain killed him at that time, he would not get much benefit.
And when the apprenticeship exam is over and Melkor kills hundreds of apprentices in the secret world and accumulates a lot of blood plague power, it will be Petain's turn to pick peaches.
Melkor didn't trust either Ihua or his mentor Petain. He only trusted himself. As the most proud disciple of "Blood Maker" Petain, Melkor has not blindly followed his mentor's instructions in recent years.
Secretly, he also obtained a lot of relatively confidential information from Petain.
These include the power characteristics of the blood plague, as well as the origin of the blood plague in Petain's hands and even the Star Tree Islands!
Neither the power of the blood plague in Melkor's body nor the power of the blood plague controlled by Petain, a fifth-level sorcerer, are not the source of all the power of the blood plague.
The blood plague that now exists in the Star Tree Islands and is spreading everywhere has its origins in a powerful blood plague wizard called "Lord Blood Plague" by Petain.
Melkor already knew that the amount of blood plague power given to him by his mentor Petain was not large, and its main function was only to "infect" Melkor.
In fact, the effects of the blood plague are extremely wide-ranging and diverse, and it does not only have the ability to create the blood corpses that were used to create Camilla City.
Just like the young woman in blood that Yihua once saw in Viscount Rafal, who spread the blood plague and infected other bandits.
Blood plague also has the function of increasing other life constitutions.
Its powerful effect even made the young bandit leader who was the woman in blood grow from an ordinary thing to a top knight in just a moment like a balloon!
Even the blood plague wizard himself was obtained by creating and cultivating different types of blood plague.
The blood plague spread by the blood plague wizard can only be controlled freely by the blood plague wizard who is its creator.
In other words, Petain cannot control Melkor's life and death through the power of the blood plague. The person who can truly control the life and death of Melkor and even Petain is actually the "Lord Blood Plague" who controls everything behind the scenes.
Melkor's secret ambition was no less ambitious than that of his mentor Petain.
Although he has not seen the "Lord Blood Plague" with his own eyes, according to his judgment, the other party is most likely a powerful official wizard!
Rather than obeying the orders of Petain who followed "Lord Blood Plague", it would be better to replace Petain.
"As long as I kill this guy Yi Hua and the other remaining apprentices in the secret world, maybe I can use the power of the blood plague to increase myself to the level of a quasi-fifth-level apprentice. According to current speculation, Petain should be with me right away. The other fifth-level instructors in the academy are in a state of melee..." "
At that time, I can take advantage of the chaos to leave the secret world and kill the remaining thousands of apprentices in the outside academy without the obstruction of the fifth-level apprentices. With the power of the blood plague gained by devouring thousands of apprentices, I will be able to have a strength no less than that of fifth-level apprentices!" "I will lurk in the dark later, waiting for the opportunity, and maybe I
can take the opportunity to swallow a few more. As a fifth-level apprentice and Mentor Petain, even if I am unlucky, with my fifth-level strength at that time, I can still be on an equal footing with my mentor and will no longer be threatened by him!" In just a few moments, Melkor planned the follow-up plan in detail
. Nothing left.
Feeling that his plan was extremely perfect, a sinister smile appeared on his lips inadvertently.
However, Melkor did not consider whether he could successfully complete the first step of his plan.
That is - kill Yihua.
The next moment Melkor conceived the plan in his mind, twenty faceless shadows disguised as himself summoned by Yihua appeared in the surrounding open space and surrounded him in an instant.
Looking at the twenty Yihuas who suddenly appeared around him, Melkor showed a look of astonishment on his face, and subconsciously said:
"What the hell? Hallucinogenic witchcraft?"
This scene was also reflected in the scene not far away. In the eyes of the surviving apprentices who patiently watched the battle.
"Why did so many Vice-Presidents suddenly appear? Are these illusions created by the Vice-Presidents to interfere with Melkor's sight?" "Although they are
illusions, they can create so many at once. Yihua's strength It's obvious!"
"By the way, isn't Yi Hua a second-class necromancer apprentice? These illusions may have been created by borrowing magical items?" "
At this point, do you really think that he is just a second-class necromancer apprentice ? , can it compete with Melkor, whose current strength has reached an extremely terrifying level? Let me tell you, Yihua must have hidden his true state!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of twenty "Yihua", their reactions were the same as those during the daytime , seeing Yihua using the same method to defend the hundreds of Illuminati apprentices from the Shadow of the Dead, they were all the same.
"Huh, what a trick!"
Melkor, who mistakenly thought that these "Ihua" were just illusions, didn't pay any attention to these disguised faceless shadows, and went straight over to attack Ihua.
At the next moment, twenty fearful tentacles behind the faceless figure that transformed into Yihua's appearance were aimed at Melkor who was rushing towards Yihua, and suddenly shot out.
Feeling the sense of crisis coming from behind, a chill flashed across Melkor's neck.
With a keen sense of crisis, Melkor tried his best to move quickly under the attack of hundreds of fear tentacles, almost without blind spots, trying to avoid the attack of the fear tentacles.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a dense sound, like the sound of a dagger piercing wood.
At the same time, Melkor's figure flew towards Yihua's left side like a cannonball.
In just a few moments, Melkor's figure flew several hundred meters away.
Twenty faceless shadows gathered together, even if they faced four levels of undead and decaying men and horses, they were still capable of fighting.
Not to mention that Melkor, who has not yet truly been promoted to the fourth level, has barely become a quasi-fourth level existence with the blessing of the blood plague.
Due to a moment of negligence caused by inertial thinking, Melkor did not dodge in time. In the end, he was hit by twenty or thirty fear tentacles after hastily dodging.
Each of the fearful tentacles of the Faceless Shadow is as powerful as nearly half of Yihua's full blow.
The accumulation of twenty or thirty fear tentacles means that in an instant, Melkor was able to resist the damage equivalent to Ihua's full force slashing of a dozen swords.
"Is it true? Those vice-president's 'phantoms' can actually launch attacks?" "
Not only that, the average strength of those 'phantoms' seems to have reached the level of a third-class apprentice!"
