Chapter 106: A shocking discovery – [Desecration of Creation], a demonic invasion?
As Fangzhou was planning his evacuation route to get away from this troublesome place, an idea suddenly came to mind.
He felt like he'd seen this eerie will-o'-the-wisp originating from the body of a demon somewhere before.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Fang Zhou's mind!
Su Xinyan!
There seems to be a similar record in the necromancer's cultivation manual that Instructor Su Xinyan gave him.
Could this eerie will-o'-the-wisp actually be an undead creature?
Fangzhou quickly opened his personal terminal and began to peruse the incredibly comprehensive necromancer's cultivation experience.
My finger swiped quickly across the table of contents, eventually landing on the chapter on "Undead-like Creatures".
He quickly scanned the page, silently reciting keywords in his mind.
Suddenly, a line of words caught my eye: "[Desecrating Will-o'-the-Wisp]!"
Fang Zhou was shocked; this was exactly the characteristic description of the will-o'-the-wisps he had seen.
The book describes the "Blasphemy Will-o'-the-Wisp" as an extremely rare and dangerous undead-like creature.
They instinctively hunt all living beings, causing soul-level damage through soul explosions.
After the life forms killed by them die, their bodies turn into dust, from which new will-o'-the-wisps are born, forming an ever-expanding cycle of death.
Most importantly, these "blasphemous will-o'-the-wisps" are not naturally occurring, but rather are born from the souls of those who have been corrupted by the "blasphemous torches" of blasphemous creation.
Blasphemous creations are evil artifacts created by demons of the abyss using the power of abyssal blasphemy.
Their sole purpose is to pollute the world corrupted by demonic themes.
Some blasphemous creations are meticulously crafted by demons, while others are formed naturally under the erosion of blasphemous power over a long period of time.
Regardless of the type, the Human Alliance's attitude towards blasphemy against creation remains consistent: discover it and destroy it!
Fangzhou raised his telescope again, gazing at the center of the distant town ruins.
Under the illumination of the will-o'-the-wisps, the scene gradually became clearer.
A colossal, burning stone pillar stands prominently!
Despite the great distance, its malevolent aura pierced through the night and reached the heart of the Ark.
Under the close surveillance of the instructors at Haicheng Military Academy, a [Desecrating Torch] appeared in Cave 1.
Could it be that a high-ranking abyssal demon has infiltrated this place?
Fang Zhou's gaze turned somber, and he subsequently dismissed the conjecture.
Perhaps the appearance of the [Desecrating Torch] was not intentionally done by the demons.
These town ruins were once the core battlefield of the bloody war between humans and demons.
The loss of countless lives, the clash of magic, and the rampage of the abyss have filled this land with chaos and darkness.
This stone pillar has been steeped in the blasphemous power of demons for many years, weathering the test of time.
Decades later, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and it was eventually completely corrupted into a new blasphemous creation.
This is highly likely!
Fangzhou turned his gaze back to the cultivation notes in his hand, which recorded the method for destroying blasphemous creations.
While breaking the exterior of a blasphemous creation is relatively simple—a powerful external force can render it ineffective—its internal "blasphemous core" is much more difficult to deal with.
Only those with the Light attribute can slowly and thoroughly purify the core of the desecration by relying on their own Light power.
This is the only safe way to handle it known to humankind.
If other means are used, such as burning or physically crushing, the blasphemous power will escape into the Earth's environment, causing incalculable long-term harm and endless troubles.
Faced with this newly born [Blasphemy Torch], Ark weighed the risks in his mind.
The Blasphemous Torch itself has no offensive capabilities; it is simply a barracks that continuously produces Blasphemous Will-o'-the-Wisp.
Although there are many [Desecrating Will-o'-the-Wisp] currently appearing, they accumulate very little energy due to their short production time, and their explosive power is not great, barely reaching the level of a lower-level apprentice.
Ark looked at its attribute panel.
【Name】Fangzhou 【Occupation】Necromancer 【Rank】Apprentice (Mid-level) 【Attributes】Strength 5.7, Agility 5.5, Constitution 5.5, Spirit 7
[Status] Soul Split [Equipment] Apprentice Set (Full set refined +1, Level 1 Gem *1), Moon Orchid Incense, Goblin Sealing Bone Bell, Sighing Flower, Frog Drum, Regeneration Amulet, Ring of Fire [Skills] Skeleton King Meditation (Perfect), Summon Skeletons (Instinct), Skeleton Spears (Perfect), Skeleton Shield (Perfect), Skeleton Lock (Mastery), Composure (Perfect), Dominate Skeletons (Proficient), Resurrection of the Dead (Proficient), Skeleton Arrow Rain (Proficient), Skeleton Wings (Proficient), Mass Brutality (Mastery)
The wide array of skills and equipment greatly boosted Ark's confidence.
Due to the existence of his skeletal clone, his soul strength has reached the lower level of Black Iron.
Both the Moon Orchid Incense and the Sighing Flower are unique artifacts exclusive to necromancers, possessing a certain soul amplification ability, which may be surprisingly effective against the soul explosion of the Blasphemous Will-o'-the-Wisp.
Ranged attacks such as [Burning Ring], [Bone Spear], and [Bone Arrow Rain] can detonate these will-o'-the-wisps from a distance.
The Bone Shield can effectively defend against direct and indirect attacks, including attacks at the soul level.
[Skeleton Wings] allow for gliding at extremely high speeds, enabling a rapid approach to the Blasphemous Torch.
Not to mention, there's also a loyal army of skeletons that can be used as cannon fodder and bait.
It seems I have a chance to destroy this [Desecrating Torch] on my own?
Fang Zhou smiled slightly, while Lang Ruan ruthlessly extinguished the adventurous idea of personal heroism in his mind.
He was just an ordinary new student at Haicheng Military Academy.
Being able to detect this blasphemy crisis in time and successfully protect oneself is enough.
Next, all he needs to do is get away from here, find a place where communication signals are not affected, and report the matter directly to the instructors, and that will be enough to earn him a great merit.
Why risk your life to force yourself to do something?
In the darkness of night, the blasphemous will-o'-the-wisps in the distance danced wildly like enraged evil spirits.
The monsters' mournful cries rose and fell in waves.
Fang Zhou's expression was solemn as he raised his staff.
A rain of arrows carrying bones!
Three beams of pitch-black light shot out from the tip of the staff, transforming into countless arrows of bone.
Like a deadly downpour, it poured down, instantly engulfing the monster horde on the hills.
To distance itself from this place of trouble, Ark no longer hesitated to conserve its spiritual energy.
He waved his staff, and another beam of dark green light shot out, imbuing the skeleton army with death energy and putrefaction poison.
Mass Berserk!
Then, dozens of skeletons swarmed around the ark and rushed down the hill through the cleared gaps.
They surged forward like a black torrent, unstoppable, rushing away from the direction of the desecrated torch.
As Fangzhou ran, he used the [Calm and Composed] skill, rapidly restoring a large amount of mental energy.
However, as they gradually distanced themselves from the blasphemous will-o'-the-wisps, the monsters, whose killing instincts had been suppressed by fear, reverted to their bestial nature.
Yu Yu Weng!
A swarm of ferocious mosquitoes, unable to control their bloodlust, rushed toward the ark.
