Chapter 71: Shadow of Fear
Due to the recent consumption of life essence, Yihua's life energy reserves have been greatly increased.
Using Life Burst again only consumed 20% of the life energy.
Yihua poured the life energy in his body into the blade, waving the cross sword burning with translucent white flames in his hand, trying to attack first.
However, the Scarecrow Undead chose to dodge and failed to hit the target. His figure flickered slightly and disappeared instantly.
At the same time, a sense of crisis came from behind Yihua.
Yihua, who had not yet regained his footing, rolled over again to avoid the claws of the undead scarecrow coming from behind.
"The speed is too fast!"
The second-class undead skinner and the third-class undead in the form of a scarecrow are almost two extremes.
The Skinner's attacks are powerful but slow, and Yi Hua can exploit its weaknesses and gradually wear them down over time.
But the Scarecrow Undead, which can cross tens of meters in an instant and launch continuous attacks, has almost no weaknesses.
Even its seemingly weakest defense is no longer vulnerable due to its suspected ability to be immune to physical damage.
Compared with the third-class ferocious beast Cyclops that was previously encountered in Fangorn Forest and was famous for its powerful destructive power, the undead in front of him was even better in terms of individual strength and natural ability.
If it's one-on-one, with pure physical attacks, the Cyclops cannot cause effective damage to the fearful shadow.
With the huge size of the Cyclops, it can't even touch the terrifying shadow that spans tens of meters in an instant, and it will most likely end up being tricked to death by it.
After a fierce struggle, Yihua's physical strength gradually became exhausted.
The attack power and speed of this third-level undead in front of him far exceeded Yihua, who was currently at the level of a great knight.
In just a few dozen seconds of fighting, Yihua seemed to be dancing on the sword.
He couldn't even launch a counterattack throughout the whole process and could only defend blindly.
If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.
If he had not upgraded his life armor to the second level before, he would have been seriously injured and on the verge of death by the Scarecrow Undead in a single encounter.
Seeing that this trip could no longer achieve greater results, Yihua no longer chose to waste time.
Taking advantage of the gap before the scarecrow's undead attack, he decisively chose to activate the death world shuttle technique and return to the wizarding world.
As the space distorted, he felt that he had returned to the stone house before he left. Yihua, who was in a safe environment, breathed slightly and his thoughts began to swirl.
Yihua had a vague impression of the undead he encountered this time.
In order to confirm his suspicion, he went to the college library immediately after leaving the world of death.
As the book "Encyclopedia of the Undead" was quickly flipped through, undead souls of different shapes crossed the line of sight.
Until an undead body in the form of a scarecrow with a semi-illusory body appeared in front of Yihua.
"Found it!"
Yihua's eyes lit up and he quickly turned his attention to the information column.
Name: Fearful Shadow
Level: Third-level undead
Talents and abilities: Fearful aura, illusory body, shadow travel.
Description: Mostly in a scarecrow-like form, they can change forms within a certain range, are extremely agile, have excellent attack ability, medium defense ability, and are afraid of life energy damage.
According to the description, the fear aura can cause the surrounding creatures within a certain range to gradually fall into an uncontrollable state of fear as time goes by.
The illusory body is the disguise shown previously, with the ability to freely extend its arms and even be immune to physical attacks.
The shadow shuttle can make the fear shadow lock on the target that is sending fear waves, and instantly move to the target that is sending fear.
The stronger the target's fear, the farther the distance the fear shadow can span, usually ranging from tens to hundreds of meters.
"It seems that if you want to enslave the fearful shadow, who is a third-class undead, you still can't escape the promotion to the earth knight..."
Seeing that the weakness of the fearful shadow is the life energy attack, I remembered that I had attached the life energy to the sword blade before. Finally, Yihua's eyes flickered slightly when the fearful shadow no longer confronted him head-on.
After being promoted to the Earth Knight, in addition to the surge in life energy and the increase in the strength of the life armor, you will also learn a new secret skill - the release of life energy.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Knight can also release life energy.
However, because the energy is too loose, it will dissipate quickly once it is separated from the body. On weekdays, most of the life energy is attached to the sword.
The Earth Knight's life energy is majestic, and relying on its control of life energy, it can even compress a large amount of life energy into a small point.
This also allows the life energy released by the Earth Knight to be maintained for a long time, and even cause substantial damage to targets dozens of meters away.
Today, his speed is completely inferior to the fearful shadow, and his strength is nowhere to be used.
After being promoted to the Earth Knight, he may no longer be inferior to the Dread Shadow in terms of speed. Relying on the ability to release life energy, he will also be able to get a chance to counterattack.
Now there are only a few days left before promotion reaches the critical point of becoming a great knight, and he is not short of this time.
"After being promoted to the Earth Knight, I will try to enslave the fearful shadow again!"
Yihua secretly made up his mind.
In the previous battle, the Demon Guide Cross Sword in Yihua's hand that had been with him for more than a month had been damaged.
Now that his light therapy has been promoted to the third level, the Magic Cross Sword, which can only carry second-level witchcraft at best, is of no use and should be eliminated.
In the future, to deal with the fearful shadows, we will also need magic-guiding weapons that can be attached with third-level holy light magic.
"You must buy a melee weapon that can carry third-level witchcraft as soon as possible."
Just do it as soon as you think of it. Yihua has no character to delay.
After leaving the library, Yihua did not return directly to his residence, but took Wu Jing to the college market.
The price of third-class demonized items is often around dozens of witch crystals. This kind of money would have been beyond the reach of Yi Hua before.
But now, Yihua has plenty of money, relying on the supply of scrolls with Anna, plus the fifty witch crystals harvested in Yoel City before, and now he has hundreds of witch crystals.
I don’t know whether it’s due to time or the difficulty of making them, but there are very few stalls selling third-class magic-guided weapons in the market at this time.
After wandering around, Yi Hua locked his eyes on the stall of an old third-class apprentice holding a pipe in his hand and smoking.
"Old senior, what material is this sword made of, and how do you sell it?"
Yihua stepped forward and picked up a silver-white cross sword in a red lacquered wooden box.
"This sword is called Pure Light. It is made of mithril and can withstand the infusion of witchcraft with a power below 200 degrees. I am in urgent need of money recently. If you want it, I will give you 55 witch crystals at a fixed price." Hearing
this Price, Yihua's eyes flickered slightly.
The general energy fluctuation limit of third-level witchcraft is around 125 degrees. Limited by talent and the intensity of witchcraft, most third-level witchcraft released by apprentices cannot exceed this value.
The upper limit of the energy fluctuation of fourth-level witchcraft is generally more than 300 degrees, and the value of 200 degrees can even withstand some weak fourth-level witchcraft.
Therefore, the price given by the old apprentice is not high, and even a little cheap.
