Chapter 11: The Shadow Demon
The lower demons were much larger than the reborn corpses, but they didn't have any advantage in this battle.
This reborn corpse is not as fragile as other low-level necromantic creatures, and although the armor on its body is worn out and scarred, it can still be seen that in the past, this pair must have been made by a famous craftsman.
Even in its current state of ruin, it can easily block attacks from a weapon.
On the other hand, the weapon in the hands of the reborn corpse is also extremely extraordinary, this is a long sword, after thousands of years of fighting, the blade has been curled, there are many gaps, but the amount of mysterious power attached to it has not decreased, and even more powerful with the impregnation of demonic blood.
With each attack, Carefree can feel the power of killing from afar.
It seems to still retain the consciousness of the previous life, and the battle consciousness of the reborn corpse is also very good, and even because of the continuous essence of thousands of years of fighting, it is very accurate and effective in every attack and dodge, and it will never drag mud and water, just like a textbook.
And the low-level demons on the other side, although their bloodline and strength are higher than the reborn corpses that humans have become, are suppressed to the death.
Although his skin was very tough, he was restrained by the legendary sword, and the scars on his body gradually increased.
The lower demon roared angrily, and the long knife slashed at the reborn corpse, but it was shrewd by shrewd, and then it opened its fierce mouth, and a raging hellfire erupted from its mouth, and the flames met the heavy armor of the reborn corpse, but it was split like a tide on the reef.
Under the light of the fire, the scene in the helmet of the reborn corpse was also illuminated clearly, and the black eyes flashed with a faint blue light, which was terrifying.
This attack of the lower demon did not work, and instead the opportunity was seized by the reborn corpse.
A sword pierced the demon's throat, and the demon's flames abruptly stopped, spewing out only some brimstone and sparks at the end, and then fell to the ground with a wail.
The reborn corpse was obviously accustomed to such a scene, silently drew his long sword, and then stretched out his withered arm, as if grasping something, just when he was carefree and curious, a layer of blue light suddenly appeared on the demon corpse, and then in a trance, he could even see the demon's twisted and angry expression.
The reborn corpse's shriveled mouth slurped, then began to clench into fists, and the blue soul gathered into its hand as if it was attracted, and then vanished.
Worry-free could clearly feel that the power of the reborn corpse had become stronger again, and it was obvious that this method of absorbing the power of the soul was very effective although it was evil.
I thought that the reborn corpse would leave directly after solving the battle, but the other party turned to the direction of worry-free, and worry-free chuckled in his heart, with his own strength, he was like an ant in front of this reborn corpse, maybe this is the real strength of the ancients, but the other party just glanced at worry-free, and then staggered away.
The carefree who escaped death breathed a sigh of relief, but the back was like being fished out of the water, and the cold sweat of fright broke out.
Realizing that the other party had gone away, it occurred to him that the Book of Mages might have a record of these creatures.
Untying the mage book from his belt again, he began to flip through the pages without worry, wasting a lot of time before finally finding the illustrated book and detailed information about these creatures.
"Servant Demon: The low-level demons of the Shadow Realm, with weak strength but a brutal temperament, but fortunately, these creatures have low IQ and no special abilities, so they can be dealt with with with with a little effort. These creatures are not afraid of fire and have a decent resistance to physical defenses, but they are afraid of cryo magic and divine magic, and natural magic also has some effect. ”
"Reborn Corpses: The warriors of the Tomb Guardians, who were originally part of the Crusaders, but over time, these humans voluntarily turned into reborn corpses in order to fulfill their mission and gain eternal life. These creatures are not simple undead creatures, they still retain their original consciousness, so although they don't have great strength and agility, they are very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, these creatures are not very aggressive, and as long as they don't get close to the tomb, they won't be provoked. The weaknesses of these creatures are not obvious, and it is very difficult to defeat them, but because they are not fast, it is not difficult to get rid of them."
Carefree looked at the book of mages carefully, and after the end of the page introducing the reborn corpse, the mage seemed to be a little hesitant to write something:
"....If you guess correctly, the leader of these crusaders turned into reborn corpses should be the famous Tristan, then it seems obvious that the Emperor of the South Wind sent him here....although the knight leader Lancelot volunteered to guard the tomb of Graneven....the Templars seem to have become headless horsemen....It can be seen that the Tomb Keepers are not monolithic...."
Mage Andarosia didn't seem to elaborate on the idea of this secret, perhaps it was well known at the time, or maybe it was just his personal conjecture.
But Carefree still smelled a hint of conspiracy in it.
Sanssouci has also heard a little about this story, it is said that the queen of the Southwind Empire, Graniwin, is a peerless beauty, and there are countless knights who aspire to be her guardian, the most famous of which is Lancelot, who is said to be invincible at the time, and even more commendable is that he was loyal to the queen, and after the queen's death, he gave up everything and volunteered to go to the cemetery to keep a vigil.
If so, then the leader of this group of tomb keepers should be the famous Lancelot.
And according to Lancelot's strength, it should be more than enough for him to guard the imperial tomb, so the emperor's intention to send Tristan is very intriguing.
Carefree flipped a few more pages, and there were quite a few introductions to other Shadow Realm demons and tomb keepers.
"Immortal King: Transformed from the Kingdom Sacrifice, the leaders are the white-robed mages Heraclina and Antonios, these creatures have strong magic and superb spells, and the most important thing is that after transforming into an undead, they bid farewell to the fragile physique of the mage, so it is very difficult to defeat them..."
"Fallen Angels: Cloudsdale once sent some angels to assist the Emperor in his war, some of them chose to stay in the human world after the war, and then some of them entered the Imperial Tomb under the leadership of the archangel, and now they have become fallen angels due to the influence of the Shadow Realm..."
There are quite a few other introductions to these strange creatures, but Sansso-Worry already has some idea of the situation.
The origins of these creatures are strange, but most of them are cronies of the emperor, and now they are fighting tirelessly in the royal cemetery, and it is certainly not as simple as guarding the queen's tomb....
Then Sansso-Wu began to open the mage's book again in boredom, hoping to find more clues in it, and then she was attracted by a small line of print.
“… It seems that the South Wind Empire has also mastered the method of 'absorbing soul power'... Although it's not the same as the mage's spell... I've cracked the principle...."This is followed by a complex graphic text, where the original scribbled handwriting has also become extremely correct, as if the author was afraid of a suspicious error.
Andarosia's so-called ability to "absorb soul power" is the skill of absorbing the soul of the other party after the reborn corpse killed the servant demon just now, and this method that can directly improve the strength is really the most needed by worry-free people in danger.
Carefree glanced gratefully at the bones of the ancient mage in the corpse wilderness, then cautiously stood up to find a single target she could target....
