Headshot Wizard - Chapter 542

Chapter 542 Half Lich

“You are Duco Verne?”

Lance suddenly raised his head and looked at the source of the sound.

However, in the vast darkness, he did not see any figures.

“Duke Verne is dead, and I am his heir…Of course, I used to be his experiment, but then I turned away from the guest.”

The voice sneered and said, “He tried to transform me into a demi-lich, so that he could survive a similar method before he died. He succeeded, and I am a good human being who tortured him in a horrible way. In the end it became the half-human and half-ghost state now; but he also failed, because I did use various methods of suspended animation, avoiding Verne’s detection.”

“You are really sharp enough. I didn’t just go to the island a few months ago. In fact, I have been in this ghost place for at least five or six years. It has been so long since I became a demi-lich! You know! Is it the feeling of living in a cold world forever? The bastard of Verne deprived me of my body, he deprived me of all rights as a human being! He killed my parents, and tried all the mess on me again and again Witchcraft-some witchcraft are simply the result of his unconstrained abilities. It is impossible to succeed in any way, but he is still experimenting with me on my body! I’m fed up with him!”

“Since you hate Verne so much, you shouldn’t try to be like him, should you?” Lance said.

“Shut up!” The other party looked a little grumpy: “What do you know? You don’t know anything at all!”

“Self-righteous wizards, what is the difference between you and Verne? As long as the strength is slightly lower than you, you have to bow in front of you. Do you think this is strength? Fart, you are nothing!”

“In my eyes, you are the same as Verne! And I am not! I was forced to be helpless. I didn’t want to hurt anyone at all! Understand? I was forced!”

The roar in the dark became louder and louder.

The three of them looked at each other quickly, and they all saw a trace of helplessness and surprise in each other’s eyes.

“I know what you are doing. Trying to judge my position by the source of my voice? In this case, I can be so calm, maybe I should praise you. Unfortunately, you all did it wrong, because I am not in this factory at all. Among them!”

The man laughed and said, “And after you lose your magic power, what is the difference between you and the ordinary people whom you regard as ants?”

Lance’s eyes rolled slightly, and he tentatively said: “You said you were forced, so who is persecuting you?”

“Who? Are you still awake? It’s destiny!”

The man said coldly: “Destiny forces me. It forces me to make a choice. Either die forever without a ray of soul remaining; or immortal, but if you want to do so, you have to make some changes. ”

“Since the experiment, I had successfully suspended Verne’s vision. I made him think that the experiment had failed, so he put my body in a failed specimen room. At first, I just wanted to Hiding there and never going out for the rest of my life. I especially don’t want to see Verne’s demon again!”

“After all, although the state of the demi-lich is painful, it also keeps me from going hungry; although sometimes it is boring, but I endure it. I just want to stay alone and quietly until Verne’s That bastard’s limit has come! At that time, I knew that he would not live long—can you understand this feeling? I was hiding alone in a dark basement, surrounded by those tragic companions. They were all Those who died after being abused by Verne were alive as a test subject for evil wizards, and they were made into specimens when they died!”

“I just stayed in the cold basement for more than five years. Every time Verne came, I would bring some new specimens. At that time, I was often the most nervous and afraid; I was afraid of him. Suddenly I will find my trick of pretending to be dead, and then I will suffer more painful abuse than before-although I have lost my painful perception, I know that once I am caught, that demon will not let me go.”

“My life is so horrified. I have been looking forward to the day when Verne will die. In fact, according to my observation, every time he enters the basement, he becomes a lot older. From Judging by the number and speed of deaths of the apprentices on the island, his experiment was very unsuccessful. He became more irritable and crazy. He was an evil guy, but he was the least courageous person in the world. He was extremely afraid of death. And look. With him like this, my heart will feel much better.”

“I keep telling myself that it will pass soon, and it will pass soon.”

“However, that day, when he suddenly entered the basement and placed the new placard, there was an accident.”

Lance frowned and asked, “You were found?”

“No! My acting skills are very realistic!” the man said gloomily, “but I heard some news that made me feel uneasy.”

“Generally speaking, every time Verne entered the basement, he hurriedly put the specimens and left; but that time, after he put the specimens, he actually came to me. He stayed by my side for a long time, I also talked to myself for a long time. It was these words that forced me to finally make a different decision.”

“From those words, I learned. Verne has calculated that his life span will not exceed two months. This is the final deadline. And his research in other fields is far from the transformation of the demi-lich. This aspect is profound. He cannot continue to extend his life through other fields. He wants to fight to the death and transform himself into a demi-lich, even if the chance of success is not high.”

“He also said a lot of other things, and he hopes that I can forgive him and bless his transformation ritual to succeed-Bah! How could I bless him after experiencing these unwarranted disasters? I hate him for bones and fear at the same time. He was like a tiger. But on this day, the fear in my heart suddenly faded a lot. At that time, he stood in front of me like this, and it took a lot of effort to say a word. He looked like a real old man. As if a gust of wind could blow him down.”

“Although I know all this is appearance, but after that day, I began to realize: Verne is dying. His power has declined like never before, and soon, I will be able to survive.”

“But everything is based on such a premise: that is, Verne must die!”

“He thought the original experiment failed, but it didn’t! The ritual of transforming into a demi-lich is actually very mature. Only I know that with Verne’s technology, the chance of successfully transforming myself into a demi-lich is far greater than that of him. My imagination is higher! And once the ceremony is successful, he may be able to see through my disguise immediately. At the same time, once his life span is extended, I will never rise to the top in this ghost place.”

“So I have to make a decision! At this time, I finally feel the taste of destiny. It pushes me to make decisions one after another. Some decisions are really not made in my heart, but destiny forces me to do so. …I just want to live.”

…

In the darkness, the strange fragrance became more and more intense, and the numbness in the three people’s bodies became heavier and heavier.

Procrastinating in this way is actually not a wise decision for them. Lance can use the shuttle ability to escape at any time, but the other two may not have this ability.

But apart from that, they didn’t seem to have any other countermeasures, they could only listen to this guy’s crazy self-report. Procrastinate for a while and think of other ways.

“So you killed him?” Lance asked.

“I didn’t!” The man said with a smile: “I just sneaked out of the basement and laid ambush at the place where he performed the transformation ritual in advance; and when his transformation ritual reached the most important juncture, I Jumped out. I successfully scared him. Even though I couldn’t do any witchcraft at the time, I still scared him into distractions, which led to the failure of the whole ceremony.”

“Do you think it is ironic? At least I think so. Duco Verne, such an invincible evil wizard, was actually scared to death by his own experiment! Hahaha…this is so funny. To be honest, whenever I think back to that scene, I can’t help but laugh for a while. I don’t know what I’m doing. Shouldn’t the lich have no emotions?”

“You are just a demi-lich, you should still retain some human feelings.” Lance reminded kindly.

“You’re right, I’m just a demi-lich.”

The voice continued: “If I were a real lich, you wouldn’t be trapped here today. But because I am a demilich, things get complicated.”

“After Verne died, I originally planned to live alone on this small island. I really didn’t intend to hurt anyone. But then, when I had nothing to do with Verne’s notes, I I suddenly discovered a terrible fact!”

“The demi-lich is just a half-finished stage in the Lich transformation ritual. In fact, the whole ritual is only completed a small part. My soul was pulled out and merged with the phylactery, but I did not become a real Lich! The demi-lich is far more fragile than the lich. At this stage, it can last me about seven years at most. And because of my greed and fear of death, I wasted five or six years!”

“I don’t want to die. I started to learn the knowledge of necromancy madly. Thanks to the blessing of this body that will never be exhausted, I have been learning day and night and quickly reaped the rewards.”

“In just six months, I have mastered the method for the follow-up ceremony. But the time I have left does not allow me to follow the original method step by step.”

“I must find a new way.”
