The surrounding shadows seemed to come alive, flying towards the cloud giant's skull from all directions.
Soon the huge skull cavity was filled with rich black energy, and the huge pupils lit up with a dark green light representing activity.
Click! Click! Click!
When the inside of the Cloud Giant's skull was completely filled with black light, brand new giant bones began to regenerate from his neck.
Good guy, this is not just about turning into an immortal divine vessel, it is about being activated and becoming a new skeleton cloud giant.
Gavin did not dare to neglect, and directly dragged Grace and the cloud giant skulls to activate the teleportation technique. He did not want to destroy the positive reputation he had finally established in Usmail City.
The cloud giant skull, which was imbued with immortality, transformed into a medium that could communicate with the shadow plane. It could directly draw the power of shadow from there, and soon spawned an eight-meter-high skull cloud. The giant comes out.
Skeleton Giant
Vitality: 258 (21D12+126)
Size: extra large
Attributes: Strength 23, Agility 10, Constitution 22, Intelligence -, Perception 10, Charisma 8
Special abilities: Undead traits, cold immunity, slashing and piercing damage reduced by half, dark vision, burst of power, negative energy regeneration, shadow coordinates, shadow rebirth.
This divine skeleton cloud giant is obviously different from ordinary skeletons. Normal skeletons have no constitution, because there is no soul in its body, it is just a skeleton activated by negative energy.
There is not much difference from those machines driven by magic. Even the skeletons turned into giants are just high-end cannon fodder.
The skeletal giant in front of him has a good physique, and it is not low.
This should be spawned by the immortality.
Most of its abilities are not much different from those of ordinary undead skeletons. What is worth mentioning is the regeneration of negative energy. This is not simply given by the extraordinary physique, but is also the result of the super-rich negative energy in the body.
After possessing a complete skeleton body, the Immortal God's absorption of shadow energy continued unabated. Soon the entire body was filled with a large amount of shadow energy, and then overflowed, forming a shadow black mist that enveloped it.
It impressively has a regeneration ability of 31 points per round, which means that if it does not exceed 31 points of damage in a single round, it will not pose a threat to it.
This makes its challenge level rise sharply. This is not the most unique thing about it. What Gavin really values is the last two abilities.
Shadow coordinates (special ability) - Because the body possesses immortality, it is integrated with the Vizeme Manor. It is a coordinate in itself. The place where it is located is regarded as an extension of the Vizeme Manor. If it is in Matching the status of the magic circle, the coverage range is one kilometer/immortal god.
The clone created by the rebirth of a shadow can only have shadows that do not exceed its own life dice +10 (31) that can travel through it as coordinates. Once the magic circle is set up, the skeleton giant's maximum movement distance is not allowed to leave the magic circle. Hundred Kilometers/Immortal Divinity.
Shadow Rebirth (Special Ability) - When the skull is used as the core of the magic circle to establish the shadow magic circle, as long as the magic circle is not destroyed, the skeleton giant will have the ability to infinitely regenerate. After being killed, the corpse will regenerate. Transformed into a shadow, and then spent 21 hours in the shadow circle to be reshaped with shadow.
These two abilities directly turned this skeletal giant into a nearly immortal being, the guardian of the shadow circle.
After the skeleton giant was completely condensed and formed, it immediately began to work. A sexy and enchanting figure walked out of the shadowy black mist with swaying steps.
She wore a black robe with a strong drow style. It was said to be a robe, but in fact, it could not even cover one third of her body. But when it really reached the key position, it was blocked again. The wide ghost cloak , swaying with the footsteps, bringing play to the extreme.
The exposed skin is like the finest ink jade, shimmering with a light oily luster, and the purple eyes, looking forward, have a captivating charm.
After she appeared, her eyes were completely focused on Gavin. The brilliance revealed inside seemed to be able to melt steel. No, she would make a certain part of a man become like steel. She didn't do it until she was a few steps away from Gavin. He bowed and saluted, "Lord, long time no see."
This action revealed a moving grace that only Gavin could see.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Daphne, the drow priestess who had been promoted to the Earthbound Knight of Ivanso.
Gavin glared at Daphne fiercely. Without telepathy, Daphne could understand the meaning conveyed in his eyes - Goblin, you dare to touch my Taoist heart. If I don't beat you to death with a stick, , how can it relieve the hatred in my heart.
Not only did Daphne show no fear, but she was more provocative - Come on, who is afraid of whom? It is not certain whether you will beat me to death with a stick or I will turn your stick away. You only have one stick. , but there are a lot of reinforcements behind me.
Seeing a man and a woman not far away, their eyes were getting more and more strange, and their bodies were getting closer and closer. Daphne couldn't wait to hang herself on each other.
Grace, who was feeling uncomfortable, hurriedly asked, reminding the other party that there were outsiders present, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Neither Gavin nor Daphne seemed to treat her as an outsider. The shyer she became, the more uncomfortable she became. The two of them became more and more excited, because for them, this was an extra stimulation point.
The black mist on the giant skeleton became thicker and thicker until it completely engulfed the three of them. Also submerged were the last traces of reason among them, leaving only the moans of joy that echoed through the wilderness night sky.
Gavin now uses his immortal power less and less. In addition to his abilities becoming more and more diverse, the main reason is that even if this thing is bound by the immortality, it will have an impact on himself.
Strong personal desires are only one aspect, and he is not very repulsive. After all, he is a human being, not a machine without emotions.
What he dislikes most is the strong desire for revenge mixed with it.
On the battlefield, this kind of hot negative emotion will seriously affect his judgment. If he is not careful, he can easily be taken advantage of by the enemy.
In the past, the enemies were relatively weak, and this shortcoming was not very obvious.
The enemies we face now in the desperate Eastern Region are at the pinnacle of the mortal world, both in terms of numbers and personal strength.
Once the judgment is wrong, the blow will be devastating.
It happened that the immortal power that he stole came from the immortal goddess of revenge. Even though he had always focused on immortality, the power of revenge was always mixed in and there was no way to completely separate it.
"As long as you use this power, it is impossible to avoid being affected by it. As this power continues to increase, the influence will become stronger and stronger. When you use it to enshrine the gods and condense the godhead, it will reach an extreme. This is a consensus of faith.”
Daphne, who was born as a priestess of Qiyalan Sari, has been using her previous knowledge to conduct research on the Vizeme Manor. She has a knowledge that ordinary people do not have. "The temperaments of those gods must be consistent with the priesthood they represent. Otherwise, They are unable to condense their godhead, and they can barely do so. If they do something that seriously violates their clergy, leading to a conflict with their own godhead, it will cause the rupture of the god.
This situation is rare, because the godhead has a very strong ability to assimilate, and has already distorted your personality before this happens.
The status-based priesthood of immortality is slightly better, as it is more about amplifying your current emotions.
Revenge, which represents an emotional priesthood, is serious. It will slowly swallow up a person's mind completely, turning him into a vengeful and extremely irritable person, just like the Revenge Lady.
Legend has it that when she was the queen of the drow, she was very gentle and far-sighted, until she was swallowed by hatred, and she did whatever it took to get revenge, and finally became what she is now. "
"I know, so I was very careful in my choice of priesthood. Even though I bought the Immortal Spark very early, I never thought about using it to become a god. It has too many limitations and has no development prospects. Optimistic." Regarding the two people in front of him, Gavin did not hide his true ambitions and plans.
Because they have been completely tied together for a long time, they both prosper and suffer.
While talking about the most serious and serious things, his big hand lingered on Grace's chest.
This necromancer feels very skinny, but I didn't expect it to be quite material. It's not too big, not too small, it's just right when you hold it, and it's full of toughness.
Grace, who was slumped in Gavin's arms, could not help but tremble as the skeleton giant moved forward, because the two were still in contact with each other at a distance.
The three of them are not in the wilderness, but in the chest of the giant skeleton. The place is spacious enough to accommodate the three of them, and the power of the shadow condenses into a substantial cabin under their will, even the seats. All available.
The topic they talked about was so shocking that she couldn't help but interject: "In fact, there is another way to solve it, and that is to bind it with a pre-positioned priesthood, although... although the scope of the priesthood It will become narrower...oh...but you can get the part you want.
In fact, the Immortal Vengeance has a relatively narrow priesthood, which mainly deals with death revenge. The Just Vengeance priesthood is in the hands of another god of vengeance, Hall, who has the reputation of a poet of justice. He is a lawful neutral. God Zhuan.
Sir, you can either dedicate the power of revenge in your hands to such an existence and obtain corresponding rewards.
Either obtain a priesthood similar to Judgment, Justice, Justice, etc., to restrain the priesthood of revenge, or even to restrain the priesthood of immortality. "
"We definitely can't give it away. Our war with Ms. Revenge has just begun. If we give it away, we will be very passive in the future. It is in the hands of others. How can it be more convenient to be in our own hands? Even if we are divided, we still need to obtain integrity. After the Immortal Vengeance Priesthood." Daphne's reaction was outstanding.
They don't trust anyone, including gods, but only themselves.
"The priesthoods of justice and justice are not easy to get involved in. The current owners are all powerful gods. If their interests are touched, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain."
Grace, who was born as a necromancer, is very sensitive to those kind gods and knows that their kindness is relative. Their cruelty towards their enemies and those who offend their interests is no different from the evil gods.
Gavin suddenly stood up and pushed Grace, who weighed less than a hundred, straight away. When he reacted, he pulled her back and laughed loudly: "You shouldn't guess some things by yourself, thanks to your reminder. , I think I've found a way.
The most important thing is to separate the two priesthoods of Immortality and Vengeance.
To suppress the priesthood of revenge, not only justice and justice can do it, but other priesthoods that are powerful enough can also do it, and I have exactly two kinds in my hands. "
Daphne and Grace said in unison: "Dreams and decay! Your Excellency wants to transfer the power related to revenge to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and transform it into dream revenge and decaying revenge, especially the latter which is more targeted against the evil god of corruption. "
"Yes, the Natural Avenger is more targeted than the Natural Balancer." The more Gavin thought about it, the more feasible it became.
"This is indeed a good method and worth trying, but after all, it involves the fundamental existence of Vizeme Manor. I suggest you be more cautious. It is best to make adequate preparations at Vizeme Manor to ensure that you will not be attacked. The effect of withdrawing the power of revenge." Daphne suggested hurriedly.
Her current roots are also in the Vizeme Manor, and if this place is affected, she will be implicated.
"This is natural." Gavin agreed, "Divinity transfer is not a trivial matter. Not only does the Vizeme Manor need to be fully prepared, but so does the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. After all, this is a sharp pair of weapons. If you are not careful with your sword, you will hurt yourself first before hurting others.
And it needs a suitable opportunity, and it can't be transferred just by thinking about it. After all, I only have the spark of immortality in my hand, but no spark of revenge, and the power to control it is very weak. "
"My lord is as steady as ever, so I'm relieved." Daphne complimented.
"Your next main task is to make more of this skeleton giant as a backup. With it, the shadow power of Weizemei Manor will be more convenient to use." Gavin assigned the task, "This skeleton giant Hiding outside the city of Uxmail for the time being.
I will take advantage of this opportunity of urban reconstruction to establish a Conqueror Chamber of Commerce branch here. This branch will be responsible for two tasks: one light and one dark.
On the surface, it is preparing to enter the Far East trade. This is a very promising trade channel. If you have the opportunity to intervene, you must not let it go.
If given the chance, our shadow territory will extend into the endless wilderness.
The secret mission is to further strengthen the Shadow Wings and to always be on guard against hidden arrows from the Shadow Master Guild. Now because of the Tukan people, they will not act rashly.
Once the Tukans are defeated, they will become our important competitors in the Eastern Region, and they will not obediently give up some of the benefits that originally belonged to the Golden Road. "
"Understood, I will adjust the strategic deployment of the Conqueror's Caravan as soon as possible." Daphne's purple eyes sparkled. This kind of expansion plan is her favorite, especially after the skeleton giant, her footsteps will be faster. It will no longer be limited to a narrow range.
"Now that the business is done, let's officially start celebrating!"
"Again?"
"Are you questioning the lord's fighting ability? It was just an appetizer."
"You take over, I need a break."
"Don't bother me, I'll heal you!"
"don't want……"
Grace, who was encountering the battle for the first time, was no match for the two veterans and was almost knocked to pieces. Gavin, who felt refreshed, teleported to the Colossus City before the sun rose.
He has long been accustomed to this kind of life of teleporting back and forth. It is normal for him to deal with matters in the Battle Valley in the morning, have lunch with Zalada in Darauma to discuss matters, and return to the Eastern Region in the afternoon.
Compared with those top legendary mages, he is relatively leisurely. At least Gavin's footsteps are currently limited to Faerûn, and the other party is not only a frequent visitor to the outer plane, but also to the inner plane and even the lower plane, from time to time. Gotta go shopping.
The current Colossus City is a little different from the last time Gavin came.
In addition to a large number of kobolds, there are also many unsmiling dwarves among them. They are the remnants of the Tesyama Kingdom who responded to the call of Chief Jihalin.
In just one month, the number of dwarves gathered in Colossus City has exceeded 5,000, and the number is still soaring. It won't be long before it is expected to exceed 10,000, becoming the largest dwarf community in the surrounding area.
There are many reasons why this situation occurs.
Jiharin's unique identity is definitely the main reason that cannot be ignored.
The Kingdom of Tethyama fell at its peak. The rule of Jihalin's ancestors was wise and the resistance was absolutely heroic. However, the enemy was more powerful. After three centuries of displacement, the remnants of Tethyama only remembered their homeland. Good.
As for Jihalin, the wandering king, his performance in the past few centuries has been competent. Although he no longer has his own land and mines, he has tried hard to use trade to connect some of the scattered tribesmen, and worked hard to bring peace to the people. They created a better life, even opened several small mines, and maintained several small communities in the deep mountain wilderness.
When he issued the order to summon the king, both the dwarves whose beards had turned gray and those who had not grown long beards all chose to respond to his call, picked up their weapons and equipment, and carried dry food on their backs. They set off on the road, regardless of whether there was the Shatana relic promised by Jiharin waiting for them.
Another reason that cannot be ignored is the dwarves' strong sense of racial honor. The name Shanatar is as important to the Faerun Shield dwarves as the Netheril Empire is to humans.
If a Netheril floating city were discovered somewhere, intact and possibly functioning, it would definitely drive countless people crazy.
This is the situation for those dwarves now. Many of the dwarves who come to Colossus City are not remnants of the Kingdom of Tesyama. They come for the sealed mineral veins of the Kingdom of Shanata, for various reasons.
Some are looking for a new life, some are here to learn ancient dwarf technology, and some are looking for their own wealth.
Gavin would not reject any of these dwarves. After a simple screening, he determined that they were authentic dwarves and were not disguised through spells or other abilities, so he handed them over to Jihalin for processing.
Anyway, the core technology of the City of the Colossus is controlled by the relatively isolated gray dwarves. Whether they want to cause damage or steal the technology, they can only learn some superficial skills.
