The principle of casting magic items like scrolls is different from that of magic wands. Although the magic power required to cast the spell is already sealed within the scroll, the user still needs to inject a small amount of magic power into the trigger mechanism of the spell model to initiate a sharpening reaction in the magic power pool inside the scroll, thereby activating the magic power circuit on the scroll.
According to the exponential growth theory of magic, the higher the level of the spell, the more explosively the required magic power increases. This is also true for using scrolls. Although only a small segment of magic power is needed to activate the magic pool, for a scroll of a Holy Domain-level spell, the required activation magic power is still enormous. A mid-level mage wanting to use a Holy Domain scroll would be drained of their magic power and turned into a dried-up corpse on the spot if their magic power is slightly weak. Even if a few elites can勉强施放,但在激活魔法后,他们只能朝着一个大致的方向轰过去,细微操作简直是休想。所以,普通法师想要用圣域级卷轴堆死一个圣域法师,基本上与做梦无异,因为卷轴法术的强度虽然是圣域级,但没有圣域大师进行微调操纵,这种圣域法术用来欺负同级的弱逼们当然无往不利,但在真正的圣域法师眼中,根本跟筛子一样,无论是防御还是躲避都相当容易。
——原本是这样。
但这一次不同,圣域法师只是一个研究型学者,还是最近进阶的那种。
而使用圣域卷轴的那个中阶法师,则是阿特拉斯学院千年未见的绝世天才。
圣域级死灵法术,冥王咆哮,在最纯正的魔力激活下完美释放,浓烈的死气搅动出恐怖的漩涡,一个狰狞的黑色骷髅头从虚空中慢慢浮现,它的眼窝空洞但恐怖,仿佛黑暗之中,确实有一双眼睛透过骷髅头在盯着这个污秽嘈杂的世界。
西格玛昂然而立,除了精神稍稍萎靡之外,没有任何不良的反应,而那号称圣域级死灵法术威力最大但也是最难操纵的冥王咆哮,竟然沉默地保持着待命的状态,那一只狰狞恐怖的骷髅头,竟然随着西格玛的左右环视,可笑地跟着左右摇摆起来!
“你是不是想问我为什么这么吊?”西格玛看向如临大敌又吃惊万分的尤文图斯,黑色骷髅头也转过头来,跟着西格玛一起阴森森地盯着尤文图斯,“因为我就是这么吊啊。”
尤文图斯面色凝重,他毕竟不长于战斗,眼前的情形让他有些不知所措,圣域法师的精神力让他清楚地感受到,那颗黑色的骷髅头正在缓缓地吞吐死气,气势也在逐渐攀升,仿佛一张硬弓被缓缓拉向满月,而拉弓的人正是西格玛,这个邪门的家伙不仅能驾驭冥王咆哮这一圣域级法术,而且正不断以精神力渗透其中,正渐渐接管这个魔法的制御权!
而这时无论是进是退,是攻是守,早已占得先机的西格玛都会毫不犹豫地发动法术,迫使他硬扛这一记相当于圣域巅峰含怒一击的冥王咆哮,这记魔法已经不是中阶法师强行施放的无法掌控的圣域法术了,西格玛已经开始制御这个魔法,一旦发动,就是实打实的一位巅峰圣域在操纵这个魔法!
“西格玛殿下,我们没有必要为了这些低劣的工具战斗!”尤文图斯的身边亮起了六道不停旋转的火焰光盾,层层分裂,变幻万千,他缓缓后退,心中恨得咬牙,要不是巴塞罗那这混蛋四处乱跑,现在还不见踪影,怎么轮得到他这个学者亲自战斗!
他自恃圣殿的身份没有暴露,此时此刻在西格玛眼中,他仍然是自然学院的圣域大师,可以在某种程度上代表翡冷翠,所以他在做最后的欺骗:“殿下,破坏自然学院的秘密实验,攻击翡冷翠的圣域大师,您的行为是否代表阿特拉斯学院?要知道这是最严重的挑衅行为,可以视作战争发动的信号!我劝您不要自作主张,有什么事情我们可以坐下来慢慢谈!”
“战争?老傻逼,要是你们进行禁忌生命实验的消息传出去,跟你们打仗的就不仅仅是死灵学院了,拿这个来吓唬我?我家也是玩政治的!”西格玛嘲笑道,“你这种科学家的政治嗅觉简直为零啊,智商高有个屁用,咦……”
他似乎察觉到了什么,向左近看去,在冥王咆哮那雄浑席卷的死亡之力的刺激下,广场的某处突然闪烁起了淡淡的绿光,一朵奇异的植物拔地而起,开出了蓝色的花朵,西格玛定睛一看,立刻认出了这神奇植物的品种,这是德鲁伊们向他们展示过的小玩意。
“留声花!狼骨朵,把那朵花拿过来,快!”话音刚落,狼骨朵矫健地扑了上去,伸手捞到花朵,以最快的速度折返而回,西格玛将一道魔力聚集指尖,轻轻一点花蕊,那留声花轻轻一颤,花房中的特殊结构震颤出音波,将声音还原出来,尤文图斯和悲风之前的对话,已经被这朵小花忠诚地完全记录。
西格玛知道这朵花的使用方式,嫌声音讲的慢,直接读取了震颤的波动,压缩音波,在耳边快速炸响,尤文图斯和悲风寥寥几段话,被他瞬间听完,他知道此事重大,从法师包中又取出一张卷轴,连同留声花一起塞到狼骨朵手中,快速道:“没时间解释了,带几个人,不惜一切代价逃出去,先在空地前展开这个卷轴,然后将留声花里的话给所有半兽人听,然后把我说给你们的话讲给所有人听。告诉大长老,如果杀掉这个杂碎,毁掉这里的一切证据,那么半兽人就是自地底而来生于阳光之下的自然种族,就这样,快走!”
尤文图斯也反应过来,厉声道:“谁都别想走!”
回应他的,是一股仿佛可以冻结灵魂的尖啸,黑色的骷髅头长大嘴巴,发出无声但酷烈的咆哮,卷动的浓烈死气排山倒海地爆发,汇聚成一道黑色的钻头,向尤文图斯螺旋轰去,西格玛哈哈大笑道:“不仅政治嗅觉为零,情商也是负数了,你这蠢货,连悲风那个天然呆都能算计你!所有的情报都暴露了,老子看你怎么收场!”
尤文图斯大脑发热,惊怒交迸,咬牙道:“虽然没有完全就绪,但顾不了这么多了,以缔造者之名,所有混血军团苏醒,杀出去,杀光所有半兽人,然后冲出这座山谷,毁掉你们所见到的一切!我要把这个黑锅扣在自然学院的头上!”
随着他的命令,无数培养槽中的拼接生命体同时睁开了眼睛,他们发出了无声地吼叫,用力捶着培养槽的玻璃柱,一道道裂纹不断绽放,一个个奇形怪状的凶兽破槽而出!
冥王咆哮的死气螺旋化作风刃横扫,凋零生命的力量如镰刀割草般扫到一大批破槽而出的怪物,西格玛不惊反喜,哈哈大笑道:“老子就等你这句话,老东西,再教你个乖,别用炮灰来对付死灵法师,感谢你送给我的尸体!”
“大死灵,亡灵苏生,自爆僵尸改造!”操纵冥王咆哮的西格玛强行分出一道精神力,唤醒晋级的死者,高声咆哮道,“凡人,感受一下爆炸的艺术吧!”

The principle of casting magic items like scrolls is different from that of magic wands. Although the magic power required to cast the spell is already sealed within the scroll, the user still needs to inject a small amount of magic power into the trigger mechanism of the spell model to initiate a sharpening reaction in the magic power pool inside the scroll, thereby activating the magic power circuit on the scroll.
According to the exponential growth theory of magic, the higher the level of the spell, the more explosively the required magic power increases. This is also true for using scrolls. Although only a small segment of magic power is needed to activate the magic pool, for a scroll of a Holy Domain-level spell, the required activation magic power is still enormous. A mid-level mage wanting to use a Holy Domain scroll would be drained of their magic power and turned into a dried-up corpse on the spot if their magic power is slightly weak. Even if a few elites can barely cast it, after activating the magic, they can only aim in a general direction, and fine control is simply out of the question. Therefore, for ordinary mages to use Holy Domain-level scrolls to overwhelm a Holy Domain mage is almost like a dream. Although the spell's strength is at the Holy Domain level, without a Holy Domain master to fine-tune and control it, such a Holy Domain spell is highly effective against weaker opponents of the same level, but in the eyes of a true Holy Domain mage, it is as ineffective as a sieve, making it easy to defend against or evade.
—That was the case originally.
But this time it's different. The Holy Domain mage is just a research scholar, and he recently advanced to this level.
The mid-level mage using the Holy Domain scroll, however, is a once-in-a-millennium prodigy from the Atlas Academy.
The Holy Domain necromancy spell, the Roar of Hades, was perfectly released with the purest magic power. The intense aura of death stirred up a terrifying vortex, and a sinister black skull slowly emerged from the void. Its eye sockets were hollow but terrifying, as if there were indeed a pair of eyes staring at this filthy and noisy world through the skull.
Sigma stood tall, showing no adverse reactions except for a slight mental fatigue. The Roar of Hades, known for its immense power and difficulty to control, remained silently on standby. The sinister and terrifying skull head even followed Sigma's gaze, swaying comically from side to side!
"Do you want to ask why I'm so awesome?" Sigma looked at Juventus, who was on high alert and extremely surprised, and the black skull head also turned to stare at Juventus sinisterly, "Because I am just that awesome."
Juventus's face was grave. He was not skilled in combat, and the current situation left him at a loss. The Holy Domain mage's spiritual power clearly sensed that the black skull head was slowly exhaling and inhaling the aura of death, and its power was gradually increasing, like a hard bow being slowly drawn to a full moon. The one pulling the bow was Sigma, who not only could control the Roar of Hades, a Holy Domain spell, but was also gradually taking over the spell's control with his spiritual power!
At this point, whether to advance or retreat, attack or defend, Sigma, who had already taken the initiative, would not hesitate to cast the spell, forcing Juventus to withstand this powerful Roar of Hades, equivalent to a Holy Domain master's full-strength attack. This spell was no longer an uncontrollable Holy Domain spell cast by a mid-level mage; Sigma had already taken control of it, and once activated, it would be a genuine Holy Domain master manipulating the spell!
"Prince Sigma, we don't need to fight over these inferior tools!" Six rotating flame shields appeared around Juventus, splitting and transforming in countless ways. He slowly retreated, clenching his teeth in frustration. If not for Barcelona's reckless running around and his current disappearance, it wouldn't have come to this, where he, a scholar, had to fight personally!
He relied on the fact that his identity as a member of the Holy Temple was not exposed. In Sigma's eyes, he was still a Holy Domain master of the Natural Academy, representing Fiorentina to some extent. So he made one last attempt to deceive: "Your Highness, destroying the Natural Academy's secret experiments and attacking a Holy Domain master of Fiorentina, does your behavior represent the Atlas Academy? This is the most serious provocation, which can be seen as a declaration of war! I advise you not to act rashly. We can sit down and talk about any issues!"
"War? Old fool, if the news of your forbidden life experiments gets out, it won't just be the Necromancy Academy that will fight you. Do you think you can scare me with this? My family is also involved in politics!" Sigma mocked, "Your political sense is zero, and high IQ is useless. Hmm..."
He seemed to sense something and looked to the left. Stimulated by the overwhelming death aura of the Roar of Hades, a faint green light suddenly appeared in a certain area of the square. A strange plant sprouted and bloomed with a blue flower. Sigma recognized the plant immediately; it was a small gadget the Druids had shown them.
"Voice Flower! Wolf Bone, get that flower, quickly!" As soon as he spoke, Wolf Bone pounced, grabbed the flower, and returned as quickly as possible. Sigma gathered a bit of magic power at his fingertips and lightly touched the flower's stamen. The Voice Flower trembled slightly, and the special structure in the flower's center vibrated, reproducing the sound. The conversation between Juventus and Bifeng was faithfully recorded by this small flower.
Sigma knew how to use the flower. Finding the sound too slow, he directly read the vibration, compressed the sound waves, and quickly played them back in his ear. He instantly heard the brief conversation between Juventus and Bifeng. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he took another scroll from his mage's bag and handed it to Wolf Bone along with the Voice Flower, saying quickly, "No time to explain. Take a few people and escape at all costs. First, unfold this scroll in an open area, then play the message in the Voice Flower to all the half-orcs, and tell them what I said. Tell the Great Elder that if they kill this scum and destroy all evidence here, the half-orcs will be a natural race that has emerged from the underground and into the sunlight. Go now!"
Juventus also reacted, shouting, "No one is leaving!"
In response, a piercing scream that could freeze the soul came from the black skull head, which opened its mouth and let out a silent but fierce roar. The intense aura of death surged and formed a black drill, spiraling towards Juventus. Sigma laughed, "Not only is your political sense zero, but your emotional intelligence is negative. You fool, even Bifeng, the naive one, can outsmart you! All the information is exposed. I'll see how you handle this!"
Juventus's mind raced with anger and shock, and he gritted his teeth, "Although it's not fully ready, I can't wait any longer. In the name of the Creator, all hybrid legions, awaken! Break out, kill all the half-orcs, and then charge out of this valley, destroying everything in your path! I will pin this black pot on the Natural Academy!"
Following his command, the hybrid life forms in countless cultivation tanks opened their eyes simultaneously. They roared silently, pounding on the glass columns of the tanks, and cracks spread rapidly. Strange and ferocious beasts broke out of the tanks!
The Roar of Hades' death aura spiraled into wind blades, sweeping across the area, and the power of withering life cut through the emerging monsters like a scythe through grass. Sigma, far from being alarmed, was delighted and laughed, "I was waiting for you to say that, old man. Let me teach you a lesson: don't use cannon fodder against a necromancer. Thank you for the corpses!"
"Great Necromancer, Undead Resurrection, Exploding Zombie Transformation!" Sigma, controlling the Roar of Hades, forcibly split a strand of his spiritual power to awaken the dead, roaring, "Mortals, feel the art of explosions!"
