Chapter 289: Incarnate the Undead
If someone were to ask Barritt, "Hey, man, how does it feel to go from being a living person to an undead?" then he'd touch his chin and tell the person, "Hmm...... And, to be honest, not bad. β
Yes, not bad.
His body was still the same, and his skin had become very tough, like cooked cowhide that had been nitrated, but it was a little cold to the touch. This isn't a bad thing for adventurers, at least it will make you really "calm down".
As for the heart, it can finally take a good long vacation. What's more, it can still beat after the long holiday. The blood, on the other hand, becomes another extremely viscous, silvery-gray liquid like mercury, which prevents the blood from freezing into sharp ice crystals in the veins due to the low temperature, and thus pierces out of the body with movement.
His chest also calmed down, and he lost his habitual heaving breathing, so Barrett didn't have to worry about whether his breath was fresh (although he didn't care much about it before).
His eyes turned into two blue fireflies, condensed and burned in his sockets, making his eyesight very special.
Barrett can now not only easily see through the ink-thick darkness, but also be able to mark and track them from a long distance - as long as he has made eye contact with the opponent's soul fire, then no matter how far the opponent runs, as long as he is still in this plane, he can clearly see the light of the opponent's soul burning by concentrating his mind.
Not only that, but the 'Dark Realm', which was still roaring at him at the last moment, frantically trying to devour him, suddenly turned into a gentle and quiet woman after he used his transformation skills.
The 'woman' smiled and stretched out her arms to the undead Barrett, wrapping him around her chest and gently stroking his head, giving our barbarian adventurers a sense of ease and serenity.
Barrett never thought that the negative energy plane, which is extremely dangerous to the living, would have such a warm side. He also asked the little ghost Eve about this, and the answer given by the little ghost was like this:
"Woman?" said Eve, with a puzzled expression, "I just felt like I was lying on top of a big strawberry pudding." I can sleep on it because it's so soft and soft. And I don't have to get up when I'm hungry, I just have to open my mouth and I can take a big bite! Hee-hee, my mom never let me eat in bed before. β
Strawberry pudding and a woman's must have felt the same way.
However, being an undead is not without any drawbacks. Since Barrett in his undead form didn't need to eat, and the various foods carried in the spatial ring were similar to rotting wood, he always felt something short in that comfort.
......
"The light is fading, the darkness is proud!" the skeleton guard on the opposite side bowed his head respectfully, "Angus greets you on behalf of the 'Epiphalanx 13' watchtower, Lord Death Knight." β
This guy is a guardian of the Eternal Body, not a wilderness undead. Barrett recognized it from the peculiar fluctuations in the other's soul fire when she first saw itβall of the Undead Guards of the Eternal Body had this fluctuation.
"The light faded. Barrett replied simply.
He didn't really know the meaning of this phrase, and he didn't know why these undead guards, no matter what kind of person they were, liked to say such an inexplicable word when they said hello. But no matter what, as a newcomer, it is inevitable that he will follow the local customs.
"Hello, uncle, is this dog yours?" the little ghost asked the skeleton guard named 'Angus'.
The soul fire in the other party's skull flickered a few times, and it turned its head to look at Barrett, and then at the little ghost, "It doesn't belong to me, but I'm chasing it, and Lady Sandora wants it." The skeleton guard replied.
"Oh, that's right. The little ghost pursed slightly, his face disappointed.
Barrett shook her head helplessly, "Hey, you can get inside." He gestured to the ornament around his neck, "But this guy can't." He pointed to the pile of bones curled up in the ground, "Who will take care of it when it gets out?" β
"The dog doesn't have to eat, we can lock it up and bury it in the ground. The little ghost was a little unconvinced.
Dogs? Not necessarily. Looking at the bones, who knows what this thing was when it was alive, maybe it was a jackal. "In short, it was the first people to see it. Barrett yes, then turned to look at the skeleton guard, "Since you're here for it, it's yours." Say hello to your lady Sandora on my behalf. "The barbarian struggles to reconcile his words and deeds with his identity.
Almost all of the Death Knights were born as orthodox knights during their lifetimes, all of them were well trained in martial arts, had read the manifesto on the title page of the "Knight's Code", and had a firm soul and a strong body. Only in this way can they transform into powerful death knights with a low probability through a special transformation circle after death.
There is only Barritt, who is from a wild road.
It is precisely because the "raw materials" of the Death Knight are relatively scarce that the necromancers will devote themselves to researching various new types of undead with lower requirements and still strong strength. Like, abomination.
Hearing Barrett's words, Angus, the skeleton guard, bent down and grabbed the small bone beast's eye socket with his iron glove, picking it up, "Thank you, my lord. It bowed its head again respectfully.
"You're welcome. Barrett waved his hand. If it weren't for the armor on his body shining with the emblem of the seven-pointed star, maybe the skeleton guard in front of him wouldn't even be able to communicate, so he would have slashed it directly with his sword.
"That'...... Is this in your collection catalog?" the brute gestured to a strange solid about the size of a lemon suspended in mid-air.
Angus, the skeleton guard, turned his head to look, "'Void Stone'?" its soul fire overflowed its eyes, "No, my lord, this thing is extremely dangerous, and no normal creature would want to touch it." β
Well, we all know that those mages in the Floating City obviously don't fall into the category of "normal creatures".
"I think so. Barry nodded, "No one would want anything dangerous like this except those guys." He said to Angus, "Since you don't want it, then I'll take it away." β
The message from the skeleton guard was full of confusion, "Do you want it, my lord?" I advise you not to do so. You may not know that anything that touches it will be extinguished, whatever!"
"I know, I know, but that's what those mages sent me to do," Barrett shrugged his shoulders and gave Angus, the skeleton guard, a helpless look, "at least, those guys still gave some reliable collection tools." β
After Barrett finished speaking, he looked at the little ghost again, "Remember, like last time, stay here and don't move, you know?"
