At that moment, Benjamin first turned around and observed the situation in the village. Their current location is relatively remote, and the situation here cannot be seen from the other side of the village. It is still very quiet, and they should be preparing to sneak attack Benjamin and the others.
Therefore, he relaxed a little and continued to study the strange black shadow in front of him.
The frozen Luke is already a corpse, and it is impossible to fake the corpse. Benjamin has repeatedly confirmed this. As for the remaining "dark hand", through dual analysis by him and the system, he quickly came up with some results.
It's like a half-finished magic, with dark elements and spiritual power mixed together to form this dark shadow that stays together. Luke's death prevented the magic from being fully completed. However, the spiritual power attached to the element did not dissipate, causing this black shadow to always exist.
From a certain perspective, this is no longer magic, but rather some kind of elemental phenomenon. It has no one to control it, so it no longer has the ability to harm the enemy.
But... people are dead, how can they still retain their spiritual power
Benjamin couldn't help but think of the situation after Michelle's death.
Could it be that the dark element magic, coupled with the strange custom of cannibalism here, eventually led to the creation of some undead creature, causing the spiritual power released by Luke to linger for a long time
In other words... there is a ghost
Benjamin felt a chill on his back.
He first unfrozen the body. As a result, Luke fell stiffly to the ground in the same posture he maintained when he died. His limbs were so frozen that they fell into pieces, like a broken stone statue, shattered into pieces, with no possibility of moving.
And the blisters that Benjamin used to protect himself never felt any attack. So, he took a deep breath and canceled the magic again.
If you kill Luke, there should be no problem. This black shadow was just an accident and had no impact. Benjamin tried to dispel it, but found that he couldn't dispel it at all, so he had to throw it here and ignore it.
… Let’s deal with the rest.
He turned around and ran toward the center of the village—the place Luke had tried so hard to keep him away from at first.
The whole village was very quiet, as if all the mages had been summoned. As Benjamin advanced, a thin layer of ice mist emerged from his body. The deadly and imperceptible ice mist is quietly dispersing around and hiding in dark and remote corners.
From the moment he became aware of the cannibal mage, Benjamin had been accumulating ice in his consciousness. At this moment, he is like a large icehouse, constantly exporting the severe cold that he has stored for a long time.
Soon, he arrived near the residence of the three elders.
"Hello, I'm looking for some of your elders. Where are they? I have something very important to say to them."
Arriving near his residence, Benjamin finally saw a few mages guarding outside. So, he immediately showed a warm and friendly smile, greeted these cannibal mages, and asked with an innocent face.
Several mages looked at each other with strange expressions and did not answer.
"Are they inside?" Benjamin asked, pointing to the largest house again.
The other party still looked at each other in silence.
"Thank you, I'll go in and find them right now." Benjamin smiled and nodded. After saying that, he ignored the mages and continued to walk forward.
And these mages guarding outside the house have already turned into several ice sculptures at this moment.
—They were killed by the ice fog that sneaked around them. But... Benjamin didn't notice that after they died, the dark elements suddenly gathered around them, and the prototypes of black shadows gradually began to appear.
Benjamin walked straight ahead, came to the outside of the house, and sensed inside.
At that moment, he felt a strong smell of dark elements. There were many people standing in the room, and the three elders were among them, muttering to a strange statue. The scene was very evil, as if they were dancing to a great god.
In addition to the elders, there were probably dozens of mages standing in the room. As for the dungeon beneath the house, it was really full of people at the moment.
Hundreds of mages from the entire village seemed to be in this dungeon, making this seemingly spacious dungeon very narrow. However, there were so many people there, but they just stood calmly, motionless, as if waiting for something.
After observing for a while, Benjamin felt that he could take action. Therefore, he raised his head, and a snowflake rose into the sky from his hand, rising into the moonlight cast by the mountain pass above his head, and then bloomed brilliantly like a fireworks.
-This is the signal he left to his men.
At this moment, the mage waiting in the camp raised his head, showed an excited expression, and rushed out. As for the dozen or so cannibal mages who were keeping watch outside the camp, they also looked up at this time, with a look of astonishment on their faces, and began to notice something was wrong.
"Hey, what are you going to do..."
Looking at the mages rushing out of the camp, several cannibal mages even thought that these hundreds of people were going to attack them, and they panicked and prepared to fight back.
However, they soon discovered that this group of foreign mages was not going for them.
I saw the mages rushing out of the camp and flying directly into the sky. Layer after layer of ice walls and earth walls were summoned, and in a short period of time, the large mountain pass above was completely blocked!
In shock, the cannibal mage immediately turned his head and looked towards the entrance of another cave.
The narrow cave was now filled with rubble, making it impossible for people to pass through.
-Yes, the first task Benjamin gave the mages was to seize the entrance and exit here.
The next situation is difficult to predict, but whether they are at an advantage or at a disadvantage, they must seize these two openings. Doing this will prevent your opponent from slipping away if they are defeated. If the situation goes bad, they can summon the earth wall and ice wall themselves, which is easy to control and they can retreat calmly from there.
After all, it was a battle with little confidence, and he had to leave a way out.
As for seizing the entrance and exit...
The second task Benjamin gave them was naturally to deal with the group of guys watching at the edge of the camp.
At this moment, facing Benjamin and the others' sudden actions, the cannibal mages who were following them showed strange expressions. Just like the eagle that used to fly in the sky to hunt, when it turned around, it was discovered that the rabbit, which was originally helpless, had transformed into a hedgehog covered with barbs.
Their expressions were very surprised.
The mage in the sky also rushed towards them.
However, at this moment, these cannibal mages seemed to be leaned over by something, and the astonishment on their faces disappeared. They opened their arms in unison, facing the hundreds of mages in the sky, and grinned.
Dark elements surged silently.
