Chapter 009: Burning the Body
When the ghoul stormed the church door, the door was closed, and the latch was lowered inside.
It angrily banged on the near-decaying door to no avail, and then simply slammed it with its flesh, and after repeated efforts, the door was smashed. Carrying on top of the broken wooden blocks, it stormed into the church.
With a torch in his right hand and a clay pot in his left, he complemented the holy church in the moonlight and firelight, like a priest who washes the dust for travelers. The ghoul instinctively resists warmth and instinctively fears light, and the flaming torch brings warmth and light at the same time, which undoubtedly makes it feel jealous.
Gaudus brandished his torches, and the flames danced into ring after ring. The ghoul was enraged again, its anger at Gauldos outpaced its fear of flames, and the [Rush] was activated again, and the ghoul quickly approached Gauldos, bent its strong legs and leaped up, and then pounced!
At the moment when the ghoul jumped, countless points of light were drawn out of the air, forming the shape of white bones, one after another intertwined with each other, and then formed a white bone shield, blocking in front of Gao Duos.
It was the 1-ring magic [Bone Guardian] that Gaudus recalled not long ago.
At the same time that the ghouls were destroying the church gates, he was already chanting and casting spells.
It was only a matter of time for the ghoul to pounce on Gauldos, and then he could tear off every piece of his flesh, chew it carefully, and swallow it into his stomach, which was definitely the best treat. But this white bone shield with the strength of ordinary wooden planks suddenly appeared, and the ghoul couldn't dodge, so he slammed into it, and the ferocious impact and teeth gnawed on the shield, and this shield suddenly had several thick cracks, and the whole was close to the edge of collapse.
Although the shield is not strong enough to block one attack from the ghoul, it is enough. Gaudus seized the fleeting opportunity and smashed the clay pot in his left hand directly into the ghoul's hard skull, then shattered, and the fire oil inside drenched its body!
The ghoul shook his head, ready to hunt again, but just then, a torch was thrown over.
The viscous fire oil ignited in an instant.
The fire was bright, the temperature was scorching, and the dark church was shrouded in light and warmth, but the ghouls were tormented by the fire.
It rolled desperately, but not only could it not extinguish the flames, but on the contrary, the flames burned more and more. Fire is the nemesis of undead creatures, and ghouls are no exception, their seemingly rotten but sturdy flesh quickly turning into ashes, and then flying and dissipating under the influence of updrafts.
Gaudus dodged from afar, staring at the ghoul engulfed in flames, and clenched his sword.
If the flames still can't kill him, he must make up for it with one last slash.
As time passed, the flames on the ghoul died out, and a thin, dark figure became clearer, a pile of charred bones, the carrion of its body had been reduced to dust and ashes.
Gao Duos walked over slowly, looking at the ghoul bones, not sure if it was still alive, after all, in the game, there are also some monsters with strong vitality, even if they are burned into a pile of bones, they can still survive, checkmate but not die, many novices die in the hands of this kind of monster.
He flicked the ghoul's body with his sword, then touched a bone that instantly turned to ashes.
He was convinced that the ghoul was dead.
Gaudus walked over to its corpse and struck its skull with his sword, making a sound similar to the collision of gold and iron, it seemed that the skull was still hard, and he could even feel the traces of undead breath escaping from the skull, lingering around it, and the wind could not blow it.
He picked up the skull and put it in his backpack.
This kind of skull, which embodies the breath of the undead, is one of the best materials for making magical equipment, and can only be obtained by killing the variants of the necromancer, and after being tempered by fire, this skull can save a lot of processing steps. Gaudus remembered that when the old necromancer was fine, he always liked to stroke his staff, which was made from the skull of a clawed beast, and when holding it, the speed of chanting and casting spells would be visibly increased when using some necromantic magic.
In addition, Gauldos saw a pitch-black sword in the pile of ashes.
It was the sword of the grave keeper's skeleton, which it plunged into the mutant zombie's chest before dying, until it metamorphosed into a ghoul and burned to ashes, and the sword could not be drawn.
He picked up the sword, and as soon as he got his hands into it, in addition to the burn, he felt a strong tingling sensation constantly irritating his palm.
The weapon has the following attributes.
γTempered Cross Infantry Swordγ
[Introduction: The Cross Infantry Sword, which has been tempered by flames, removes redundant magazines, further strengthens the divine effect, and increases the attributes of the Holy Fire.] γ
[Types: One-handed, sword-like weapons.] γ
[Grade: Blue.] γ
[Condition: Perfect.] γ
[Equipment requirements: 7 strength.] γ
[Attached attribute 1, Heightly: Passive, deals 60% extra damage to the undead.] γ
[Attached Attribute 2, Holy Flame: Passive, has a 20% chance to inflict fire damage when attacking.] γ
Gao Duos understood where that stinging sensation came from, that is, the special effect of [60% extra damage to the undead] brought by the [Heightly] attribute, and he happened to be a half-dead, and the part of the undead in his body instinctively rejected the [Heightly] attribute, and this repulsion was actually the source of the stinging feeling.
He tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrapped the hilt of his sword. Through a piece of cloth, he felt much more comfortable.
He clutched his sword and tapped it against the stone floor, and the black substance wrapped around it peeled off little by little, revealing a silver blade that shimmered with a dull sheen. The sword looked much smaller than it had been at the beginning, perhaps because the flames had been tempered to remove the rust from the sword and the magazines inside.
Blue...
Gao Duosi shook his head and sighed, for him, blue is an excellent quality, especially the performance of this sword is still very good, and it is not too much to use it until level 15, it is a small superlative. It's just that because of the [sacred] attribute and his mage profession, this sword is really not suitable for him.
Even holding a sword is a problem, so how can you rely on it to fight?
However, this is still a blue weapon after all, and it has very good attributes, so the paladins of this world should be interested in it.
Gaudus left the cemetery with his booty and returned to Sindh.
A blue-quality sword, an ability learning book, the harvest of this trip has exceeded Gao Duosi's expectations, although it cannot directly increase his combat power, he is already satisfied.
As a half-dead, the part of his undead could remain almost eternally alive, but the other part of the living was indeed tired, and he had to give himself a rest, even if it was a short sleep of two or three hours.
When Gaurdos pushed open the door to the hotel room, he saw that Alice was not asleep, but looking at him quietly with bright eyes.
The girl was surprised and happy again, and smiled: "You're back." β
"Well, I went out and ran some errands." Gao Duos was a little surprised and nodded, "Why haven't you slept yet?" β
"I had nightmares and woke up."
"Nightmares?"
"Hmm." The girl closed her eyes and said with some trembling, "I dreamed about last night again." β
Gaudos sighed.
Watching his loved ones being pierced with sharp blades, watching his relatives and friends being slaughtered, watching the village that accompanied him grow up burned to the ground... Witnessing such a tragedy, no one will not have nightmares.
In fact, to be able to do this to this extent, she is already very strong.
He walked over to Alice's bedside, covered her with the quilt, and said, "It's all over, I'm here." β
Alice looked at Gauldos's face, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "Will you always be here?" β
"I'll always be here."
Alice nodded, smiled and closed her eyes.
"I'll try to fall asleep and not be woken up by nightmares... Good night. β
"Good night."
Gaudus sat down in a chair with a stabbing sword in his arms and fell asleep.
Three hours later, Gaudus woke up.
He subconsciously set his gaze on Alice, and then breathed a sigh of relief. This time the girl was not awakened by the nightmare, but her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her body curled up into a ball, and her expression was a little uneasy... She still had nightmares.
Fortunately, he saw fine beads of sweat on the girl's forehead, and it seemed that her illness was beginning to improve.
Gaudus breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked out the window, the moon had not yet set, and Alice could sleep a little longer.
As for myself, I can't sleep. One of the benefits of the half-dead physique is reflected here, as long as a little sleep, the optimal rest effect can be achieved, and the recovered physical strength can support activities for a long time, which is incomparable to normal humans.
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, not to mention weak fire and weak light, Gaudus doesn't care much about these, what really makes him feel uncomfortable is that he has no sense of taste... Everything he eats now tastes like chewing wax, and it's tasteless.
It's too bad.
Gaudus lit a candle and began to read. You heard it right, he was actually reading, it was the book "The Foundation of the Earth Element".
Necromancers are not limited to cultivating [undead] and [soul] abilities, such as the famous Sandru in history, who is also a master of fire control, but also a master of swordsmanship, and the artifact Doomsday Blade in his hand has also terrified the enemy, countless swordsmen and assassins who have tried to kill Sandru through assassination have all hated his sword, including some top players in various servers.
There is also a mourning player with the ID "Chicken is 8 years old", which is a dark priest who has both [Light] and [Dark] abilities, and he is a male character in the form of women's clothing in professional matches, and he also likes to use the voice changer when commanding team battles.
Hehe, it's far away. Gauldos held back his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
You are no longer a Huaxia person, remember, you are now the second necromancer in the continent of Acacia: Gao Duosi.
Don't be pressured by many skills, what if you really have the talent of earth magic?
Gaudus turned the first page.
