Walking through the temple, a huge, heavily armed ghoul lord had been waiting for a long time.

Even if it was a few meters away, the power coming from the two-handed heavy sword still made people have to look sideways. If he hadn't noticed, Bernardo felt that he was likely to be sent flying away with a sword.

"Good thing......" Bernardo's eyes locked on the thick armor of the ghoul lord—magically uncorroded after several epochs, but still inevitably stained with dust and filth. However, this does not affect the defense effect.

There is no doubt that it is the gatekeeper of this huge tomb - when Bernardo, a living being, stepped into it, it was awakened from its long-slumber and awakening.

Obviously, the strength was out of proportion to its shriveled and thin arms. In the face of this three-meter-tall monster covered in heavy armor, what should Bernardo do without a weapon?

However, there was not even the slightest hint of fear in Bernardo's eyes – on the contrary, Bernardo's eyes were full of victory confidence.

Because—

"Although heavy...... But what you're wearing—"

An afterimage flashed.

"—not ebony armor, but Gounod steel!"

Bernardo flashed behind the ghoul lord who had not yet retracted his movements, and then lightly unfolded a rune.

The white light with a strange rhythm shone in the rotation of the runes, and the gentle white magic energy began to spread little by little. The magic passed through the walls, through the metal, through the weathered ruins, through Bernardo's flesh - leaving no trace.

Only......

"Thank you to Master Salidor for translating the complex elven spells into human language." Bernardo muttered to himself lightly. He had just used a branch of healing spells, the Undead Dispel.

Undead creatures, creatures that have lost their souls and have been "dead" in the occult - because Tamriel's soul system was constructed by Akai, one of the nine holy spirits, so whether it is a vampire or a ghoul, before they can carry out their own unique special processing, they must break Akai's life and death system and carry out a necessary process.

Because of this irreversible rule of law that can continue to move in the face of any undead creature with no pain, no physical limitations, and even extreme ghouls with their heads cut off, it is undoubtedly unwise to go head-to-head with those heavily armored monsters head-to-head.

However, the dispersal of the undead can dispel the black magic that destroys Akai's cycle of life and death - in this way, if you return to the normal laws of nature, no matter how powerful the undead are, they will also completely "die" under the laws of nature.

While some high-level vampires gain some resistance by becoming a Mistwalker or higher, the spells are extremely lethal to the undead in any case.

The inventor of the dispersal technique is no longer known—it is said to have been invented by the ancient magic warfare of the mages, Vanus Garriland, the leader of the Mage Guild—to fight against his old rival from his time with the Order of Said, the "Worm King" Manimaki. But the original magic spells written by Vanus were entirely High Elf creations - not only were they obscure, but they were also deliberately designed to prevent the plagiarism of knowledge from being learned by any other race. Except for a few Dark Elf mages who were on a par with High Elf mages at the time, no one could understand the mysteries at all—although Vanus also translated some simple runes into human language and taught them to the whole continent in order to recruit more people.

This continued for a long time, until the emergence of the Archmage Salidor, who was considered the only pure human among the magicians in the history of Tamriel who were considered immortal. He translated a large number of ancient elven spell writings, wrote and disassembled them into human-intelligible versions, and reconstructed a system of magic that belonged to humans. It can be said that today's human beings are able to make achievements in magic, and it is easy to get started, which is closely related to the contribution of this master. It is for this reason that every decent mage will cherish the life of Master Salidor and praise the existence of such a figure.

Of course, Salidor wasn't a perfect man either – Labyrinthia's eerie labyrinth and the dragon ritual turmoil that supposedly linked him were also the reason why some people have been questioning him. However, Bernardo felt that this was just nonsense. Labyrinth's labyrinth was in its infancy long before he died, and he only perfected some of the details, and it wasn't like no one else had redesigned and created it after that—which part belonged to whom, and which one probably no one could remember.

And most importantly, the scene in front of me that I have the advantage is undoubtedly the contribution of this master. The steel of the Gunods, although unique in its own way, can remain unchanged for many years without rusting - but in one way, its enchantment is very poor, which is also related to the Nords' contemptuous attitude towards magic.

Warriors pay more attention to its physical protection when choosing armor, and the other equipment that may appear on the Gunod ghoul lords, ebony equipment, is too rare. Although Bernardo had heard of some ghoul lords who were tightly wrapped in ebony armor and were almost immune to all kinds of healing spells after being enchanted with special enchantments, which brought great difficulties to the battle, he obviously didn't have to worry about this problem himself.

It's too difficult to apply such a complex enchantment to Gounod Steel and keep it for thousands of years.

As a result, Bernardo was ready for a natural victory.

It's just that...... What he didn't notice was the ghoul lord's slightly bulging throat—the final blow before it all dissipated.

Suddenly, Bernardo remembered another skill that these Gunod ghoul lords had mastered—

"Oops!"

“Fus-Ro-Dah！”

- Dragon's Roar.

In order to fight the dragon's invasion, the ancient Nords were protected by the goddess Ginares, though the Nords called her Kena. The most powerful of the ancient warriors, possessing magic such as the Dragon's Roar, to fight against dragons.

With the disappearance of the dragon, the only people who have mastered this skill are the group of ascetics born on the peak of Hogarth. Therefore, Bernardo did indeed miss this hand just now.

The other party is a ghoul lord - or the ruler who holds the dominance of a huge tomb like the One.

How could such an existence not leave a back hand?

I was careless.

A sideways and thrilling dodge the roar of the dragon, but Bernardo's face had no sense of aftermath - even when the ghoul lord began to turn to ashes after the roar.

Because, the coffins around - began to make ominous sounds little by little.

Ghouls, wake up.
