Although he didn't understand why Christina looked like she was facing an enemy, Rossi immediately became vigilant.
At this moment, the white bones on the ground suddenly floated one by one, and quickly rotated around a group of black mist in the center.
"Attack that black mist!"
While reminding Rosie, Christina waved her wand and pointed towards the black mist, "Thunderbolt explosion!"
The red light group quickly rebounded around the black mist with an ear-splitting roar. Just looking at the scope and momentum was enough to shock people.
"Expelliarmus!"
Standing next to Christina, Rosie raised her wand and pointed it at the black mist. In order to ensure that she could hit the target, she deliberately changed the output mode of the disarming spell so that the red beam would continue to attack the target.
However, both Christina's explosion spell and Rossi's disarming spell were ultimately blocked by a transparent barrier outside the black mist.
Not only that, not even a single whirling bone was injured.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Christina was surprised. The scene before her eyes was obviously beyond her knowledge.
"What is that?" Rossi asked curiously after finding that the attack was ineffective.
"It's a transformation ritual."
Christina said solemnly, "The lich's transformation ritual! But the strange thing is that the lich's transformation ritual is very easy to be interrupted, and any offensive spell can interrupt it."
Lich's transformation ritual? What's going on with the planning of this game? Is there a lich in Harry Potter?
Hearing this, Rossi couldn't help but frown and recall the settings of lich in other games, and asked in confusion:
"In the legends I've read before, aren't lichs all human wizards who abandoned their lives and joined the undead? But what's going on with those red hats?"
"Undead?"
Christina glanced at Rossi in surprise, "This is a new term. Did you read it in some novel?"
After a pause, she got back on track:
"The Lich has never been a human being. It is an undead spirit that was accidentally born under extreme conditions. Did you see that black mist? It is the Lich's body. Those red hats before, they are just part of this transformation ceremony. Consumables.”
"Is that the Lich's body? Isn't the Lich's body a phylactery?"
Rossi muttered subconsciously.
"Phylactery?" Christina tried to understand the meaning of Rossi's words.
"The container that holds the lich's soul. It can be any object, even a living thing. It doesn't have to be a box."
Rossi explained, and then felt amused by the settings of other popular science games, "I saw it from fictional novels, you don't need to care about this."
"Fictional novel? It doesn't sound entirely fictional."
While tentatively releasing magic to attack again, Christina muttered and answered, "The phylactery you mentioned reminds me of a ritual magic I saw in a book called "Decryption of Advanced Black Magic," an ancient The ritual magic created by wizards imitating the lich transformation ritual, hmm~ let me think about it, it seems to be called...horcrux?"
"Horcrux!!!"
Rosie was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
The next moment, this chill manifested itself in reality, stirring up fine goosebumps on her smooth skin.
"The ceremony is going to be a success!"
Christina, who also felt this change, said as she tapped Rosie with the tip of her wand.
“Keep warm from the cold!”
The practical cold-proof spell instantly adsorbed on the surface of Rosie's skin, making her whole body feel warm.
After turning the wand and adding a cold spell to herself, Christina spoke again: "Don't worry, generally speaking, the lich that has just completed the transformation is not very strong. The two of us can handle it."
Although she said that, her action of taking a step forward to protect Rossi behind her made Luo instantly understand that the lich that was about to take shape in front of him was not as simple as she said.
Also, since the transformation ceremony exceeded her expectations, will the lich after the transformation be successful still be the lich she knows?
Thinking of this, Rosie moved a small step to the side inconspicuously and stood side by side next to Christina.
At this moment, the white bones flying in the air suddenly gathered together, enveloping the black mist, which looked like a huge egg.
"Jiejiejie..."
A harsh, strange laugh suddenly came from the egg. Even with the magic spell to keep out the cold, Rosie still felt a cold and terrifying feeling in her heart, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Fear: The spirit is suppressed, the movement speed is reduced by 15%, and you cannot attack when you are scared.
Sensing Rossi's change, Christina immediately pointed her wand at Rossi, emitting a short red light.
"Revitalization!"
"Thanks!"
Rosie, who had only realized that she had been "feared" until then, felt a little embarrassed. She didn't even realize that she was being frightened. Could it be that I had become a burden?
As soon as the second word "Thank you" was spoken, the egg in the air exploded with a loud bang, and immediately after, white bones shot towards the two of them like flying swords all over the sky.
In an instant, the defensive barrier that had been blessed by the Safeguarding Spell around the two people showed signs of rupture.
"Armor protection!"
Rossi immediately thrust his wand forward, and an arc-shaped barrier like an umbrella quickly stood up in front of him. Then, it turned into transparent armor and covered their bodies.
"Protect them all!"
The moment the iron armor spell was formed, she turned the wand in her hand, and a transparent screen that was smaller than the spell Christina cast was suddenly covered.
Seeing Rossi releasing defensive magic, Christina immediately added a magic spell to it:
"Secure and safe!"
Since he is not an explorer, Rossi, who does not have advanced detection skills, did not know how much shield Cristina had before.
It wasn't until this time, after the other party blessed her defensive magic, that she was shocked to have a clear understanding of Christina's defensive magic from the changes in shield volume on the skill panel.
I saw that the shield value, which was originally less than 3,000, actually broke through to 5,000 with the blessing of Christina's spell.
"Isn't this too strong? It seems like I'm really a burden!"
Rossi finally understood why this main quest was not started until so long after the game was launched. If a newbie who had just entered the game was doing the main quest, he might not even be qualified to do so, right?
Just as she was complaining to herself, the outermost defensive barrier cracked into pieces under the attack of waves of bone swords.
Immediately afterwards, Rossi saw the shield value of the defensive magic he released decreasing rapidly.
"The flames are blazing!"
Christina gave a soft drink and raised her wand high to point at the bones that were peeling off the skin layer by layer like an onion.
The next second, burning flames swirled on the tip of her wand.
Um? Why didn't she release the fireball?
Just as he was wondering that the magic cast by the other party was different from his own, Rossi saw the fireball at the tip of Christina's wand getting bigger and bigger, and soon formed a giant fireball with a diameter of three meters long.
As she took a step forward, the giant fireball flew out suddenly, breaking through waves of white bones, and hit the bones hard.
