Struggle in the Steam Age

Looking at the kobold corpse on the ground, Lawrence suddenly sat down on the ground and took a few breaths. Don't look at his smooth and smooth style of play just now, which successfully defeated a warlock who was one level higher than him. But whether it was the tension in his heart or the soul shock of the kobold leader just now, he felt that he might fall down at any time. Fortunately, he still won in the end.

Just when Lawrence sat on the ground and was about to rest for a while, the tired Bai Ze phantom suddenly moved in his mind. It stood up and opened its mouth wide to suck out a jet of black soul from the headless corpse in front of it.

This soul is the most powerful soul Lawrence has ever seen, because unlike the vague souls he encountered before, this soul can still maintain an obvious kobold image.

But this soul obviously still has a little self, so it is struggling hard to get rid of the absorption of Bai Zexuying. But the gap between the two sides is very obvious at this time. Only ten seconds later, the soul of the kobold waving its limbs and tail was sucked in by Bai Ze phantom.

After absorbing the soul of the kobold leader, Bai Zexuying, who had seemed sluggish just now, became energetic all of a sudden, and his volume was even larger than what was visible to the naked eye before. Following that, Lawrence also felt a warm current flow from his mind to his whole body, filling up his body that seemed to have been hollowed out in the battle just now.

"It's time to open the box now." Thinking of this, Lawrence stretched out his hand, the skin on his hand was as white as white marble, "Well, it seems that I should be the Emperor of Europe."

But the strange thing is that after touching the whole body of the kobold leader, Lawrence only found a dozen large and small rough-processed gemstones of various colors that may be magic materials, and a little more than a pound of all kinds of rough castings. Gold jewelry with a lot of impurities.

There are also magic props, such as the wooden stick held by the kobold leader just now. This stick looks translucent, showing an extremely warm texture. Obviously, it can be formed by being played with for a long time after the resin is completely infiltrated.

It may be the effect of the stick itself, or it may be some changes in long-term use. When Lawrence held the wooden stick, he could clearly feel that his emotions had become much more stable than before.

"Hey, this is really a good thing." After experiencing the effect of this wooden stick, Lawrence realized the effect of this wooden stick on the caster. But apart from this wooden stick, he never found anything related to magic from the kobold leader.

"This should also be normal." Lawrence thought. "After all, this is just the leader of the kobold tribe in a small plane. In such a world, the kobolds can smelt metal and make simple weapons and tools, which has surpassed most similar ignorant races in terms of civilization. It's really hard to make magic items like humans, dwarves or elves."

Even though he thought so, what the kobold leader did before still left some doubts in his heart. It's a pity that this kobold leader doesn't like to chatter like the villains in movies or novels, so Lawrence doesn't have much evidence to support his thoughts.

"Try this, and if it doesn't work, wake up the others. After all, time is running out." Lawrence glanced at the red smoke that was about to disappear in the fuming pot beside him and the few more smoke columns in the direction of the fortress in the distance. Thinking about it, he released [Detection Magic] on the kobold corpses on the ground.

"What is this?" As soon as the magic was released, Lawrence found a piece of the kobold body that was blown to pieces exuding a bright magical aura. "I don't remember kobolds having such a thing as a magic core."

Of course, what Lawrence said was just a joke. In this world, there are indeed many magical raw materials derived from extraordinary animals, such as pearls that can store mana or even magic, and animal fur that is born with a certain extraordinary defensive ability. However, the magic core mentioned in the previous life novel never existed.

After picking up a branch from the side and picking up the broken skull of the kobold, Lawrence found a black thing the size of an egg embedded in the gray-white brain.

"It can't really be a magic core handle." Although he felt a little weird, he really couldn't think of what else the obsidian-like hard object in front of him could be other than this possibility. After all, there are gallstones, kidney stones, and even bladder stones, but Lawrence has never heard of brain stones.

"Hey, what is this?" After picking out the black solid with a wooden stick, he realized that it was not a stone in his imagination at all, but a reptile skull sculpture without any trace of artificial carving.

Just when such things were completely out of the kobold's mind, Bai Zexuying became active again. A dance full of ancient flavors even began to dance in Lawrence's mind.

Following Bai Zexuying's dance, the sculpture in the shape of the ground slowly floated up. It began to blur as it rose, and when the sculpture reached the level of Lawrence's eyes, it had turned into a black shadow like black smoke.

Lawrence could feel a kind of longing from Bai Ze Xuying, and he swore he had never felt Bai Ze Xuying's desire for anything so much.

"Okay, let me trust my intuition just once." Lawrence murmured softly, and at the same time let go of the control on Bai Zexuying. For a moment, Bai Zexu stood on his hind legs and his front legs soared into the air, looking up to the sky and screaming. At the same time, the small horn on his forehead emitted a soft white light.

In an instant, a blue and white mixed light shot out from between Lawrence's eyebrows and connected to the black shadow floating in the air, and then pulled the black shadow closer to his forehead like a chain.

The closer to the forehead, the more Lawrence could feel the strong sense of ominousness and the heat like a soldering iron from the black shadow. As the black shadow gradually approached, he saw a mass of red light slowly brightening up in the black shadow. At the same time, the shape of this black shadow is also changing, slowly changing from the shape of some kind of reptilian skeleton to a spherical body.

Then the entire spherical black shadow was pulled into the forehead by the blue-white light, and soon Lawrence saw this small black shadow ball in his mind.

"The next step is not my brain stone." Lawrence seemed a little nervous. Under his attention, Bai Ze's phantom danced its ancient dance around the ball made of shadows.

Following Bai Ze's dancing, dots of white light flew from Bai Ze's phantom body to the black shadow. As the light spot sank in, the spherical black shadow also began to deform a little bit. It began to slowly elongate and become thinner, and began to transform into a solid stick. During this process, the black shadow kept struggling, but under Bai Ze's suppression, all the struggles were in vain.

What finally appeared in front of Lawrence was a candle turned from a mass of black shadows, inside which flowed a red light like magma. In the center of the candle is a wick of blue-white light. When this thing was completely finalized, Bai Ze Xuying took a deep breath and blew it over the candle wick.

Blowing out in one breath, Bai Zexuying immediately dimmed, looking a lot more sluggish. However, a little blue and white light burst into flames on the weird candle wick.

After the fire was lit, Lawrence immediately felt the power contained in the fire. To be precise, it is the faintly discernible divine power in the firelight.

He immediately understood the reason why the kobold leader could make almost everyone unconscious with a simple soul impact. Because that magic contains the power of rules, it often only belongs to gods and some demigods.

This kind of high-level power is not something ordinary creatures can resist. It's no wonder that the kobold leader took you as his hole card, and during the battle just now, this kind of power with a strong sense of order also successfully exploded, making everyone present, regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, face a mental shock. They all fell into a coma.

Fortunately, Bai Ze can be regarded as a relatively high-level divine beast, so Lawrence was immune to this blow and allowed him to win the final battle.
