Chapter 288: Distal Phalanx 13 (B)
On the top floor of the watchtower's 'Phalanx 13', Ms. Sandora floated to the top of the tower as usual, gazing out into the endless darkness in the distance.
"You're looking for me, ma'am?" the skeleton guard Angus bowed his head respectfully.
Lady Sandora is the tower spirit of the sentry tower 'Sycamore Phalanx 13', and a bound spirit of the ghost-like undead. In a sense, this watchtower is actually her body, and other undead spirits such as Angus, Bowen, and Darren live in her body.
"There's a, strange dog. Lady Sandora said in an ethereal, wooden voice, as she pointed into the distance. Her translucent spirit twisted incessantly, her waist-length hair fluttering gently in the air.
"Dog?" Angus looked out of the tower in confusion, but saw nothing. Immediately afterward, the soul fire in his skull flourished, and he finally saw the thing that Lady Sandora was referring to.
It was a very ordinary small bone beast, and it was impossible to say what species it belonged to when it was alive. Just like Angus, you can't tell who he was when he was alive just by that skeleton. What's more, his body has been changed many times, and sometimes the bones of this body even come from different individuals.
After his last rebirth, the length of his two arms was very different, which made him very unaccustomed to using it. Fortunately, during an investigation, he was killed by a vicious mummy, and he has his current body.
In the distance, the small bone beast kept spinning in circles, happily chasing its own bone tail. If no one disturbs it, this pointless action of it may continue until the end of the multiverse.
"It's not in any danger, ma'am. Angus restored the skull fire to its original state, "If you're not at ease, I'll go out and extinguish it." ”
"No!" Lady Sandora turned, staring into the depths of Angus's eyes with those blank, nonchalant eyes, "I want, the dog." Go and bring it to me. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Angus replied. He turned and went downstairs, ready to catch the small bone beast that acted on his instincts.
In fact, Ms. Sandora was not such a cold, wooden personality before. In Angus's impression, the lady used to be quite lively, and liked to fly back and forth around the watchtower, and even tried to fly farther, but was always pulled back by an inexplicable force halfway. No way, that's what Spiritbind is.
After that, the great war nearly 700 years ago changed her.
In that battle, the mages who were in the center of the 'Skull of Death' didn't know what was going on, and the vast army of the undead overwhelmed the realm and lingered outside the guard tower for a long time, and the mages could not give further instructions.
Angus didn't do much in that big fight. He only held out for a short time before being overwhelmed by his tidal wave of undead kinds. Before the soul fire was extinguished, he saw a Death Titan, more than ten meters tall, bombarding the watchtower with a huge hammer in his hand.
Lady Sandora couldn't stop the Death Titan at the time. Unable to do anything else, the lady chose to fly into the skull of the Death Titan, trying to control this powerful foe with her gifted 'Psionics'.
Angus didn't see the end, but the outcome of the defeat is not difficult to guess. 'Spiritual Possession' is against living creatures, and he doesn't know how it will be used against his own kind.
In short, after the collapsed watchtower was rebuilt, the reborn Lady Sandora became what she was looking like.
......
In the hall at this time, the long game was stuck with Bowen again. When the tangled ghoul saw Angus's figure, the ghoul quickly covered his cards and bared his teeth at our skeletal guards.
Angus ignored the guy, but pushed open the gate of the watchtower and walked straight out.
Outside the watchtower, three skeleton guards like it, three skeleton strikers wielding twin knives, three chubby decaying zombies whose bodies explode when they are dying, and Bennett, a rampaging ghoul, patrol the neighborhood faithfully.
In this realm of the Eternal Body, each undead has its own fixed job and location. Bennett's job is to patrol around the watchtower, while Angus and Bowen are responsible for investigating, supporting, and dealing with other unexpected situations.
In addition to a few guys playing cards and Angus himself, there was also a fiery skeleton Vincent. Vincent wields scorching rays and throws balls of flame, which are the most devastating of their undead kind.
Angus walked to the perimeter of the watchtower's magical protection, hung the shield on his back, and pulled the weapon from his waist before stepping across the perimeter.
Compared to other planes, the Dark Realm appears rather barren. Aside from a few magical materials such as soul stones, there are very few other valuable things. Either way, this is the home of their undead. Their mothers are selfless and kind, and they supply their activities with majestic and vast negative energy.
Several ordinary zombies stood in Angus's way, wandering aimlessly. They have no affiliation, no consciousness, and only longing to be able to taste the flesh and blood of living creatures.
But this is the realm of darkness, and their wishes are destined to be difficult to fulfill, so it is better to let themselves fall into an eternal sleep.
With a swing of his sword, Angus split the head of a zombie in front of him in half. This is the best place for you, he thought, and although I can't decide your own fate, I can at least help you get free.
Encountering a dangerous horde of zombies and trying to fight back, Angus cleanly slaughtered them all. Although our skeleton guard is not a high-level undead, but if he can be chosen by the mages to leave the primordial mark in the death skull forever, so as to passively achieve immortality, then his own strength must be far beyond the comparison of these small miscellaneous soldiers in front of him.
After a short walk, Angus finally saw the small bone beast that was learning from the Ouroboros, which was still circling in circles.
It was only as he slowly approached that the small bone beast stopped its stupid movements and looked up at him.
The next moment, the soul fire in Angus's skull suddenly burst into flames, and he wanted to use the soul fire to directly suppress it like those high-level undead.
Although the skeleton guard did not possess such an ability at all, in his mind, with the strength of his soul fire, he should still be able to deal with a small bone beast about the size of a dog.
It's a pity that the strength of his soul fire is still a little less meaningful after all. After being coerced, the small bone beast did not stand still, but turned around and began to flee.
Angus was slightly annoyed, then raised his leg to chase after him.
The small bone beast fled in a panic, quite fast. Angus, who was chasing after it, silently calculated in his heart that if he caught up with the 'Void Stone' closest to here, and still couldn't catch up, he planned to turn back and go back.
"Obedience" is Angus's eternal credo, and Lady Sandora is indeed higher in rank than him, and he does need to obey her orders. However, the lady is not a mage after all, and the task of guarding the watchtower still comes first.
In the distance, the solid lump that was countless times darker than the surrounding darkness gradually revealed its form, which was the 'Void Stone'. In some areas of the negative energy plane, the intensity of the plane collapse is too large, causing the plane itself to be wrapped in a large amount of energy and begin to fold continuously. When folded and stabilized, this suspended absolute dark matter is formed.
The Void Stone is extremely dangerous, and almost anything that comes into contact with the Void Stone will be destroyed instantly. In Angus's memory, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something similar in other planes.
All planes will continue to disintegrate, collapse, and destroy in the void, and then begin to reorganize, gestation, and grow, and this 'Void Stone' is a means of self-protection for the complete plane when it isolates the irreversible collapse.
Getting closer and closer to the Void Stone, just as Angus was about to give up, the small bone beast in front of him suddenly stopped.
The small bone beast's entire body curled up on the ground, and its tail retracted into its pelvis, and it just shrunk in place, motionless, as if it was afraid of something. And the next moment, Angus also knew the reason.
A nightmare beast with green flames appeared in front of him from a distance, and on the back of this nightmare beast sat a tall death knight.
In the air beside the Death Knight floated a ghost in the shape of a little girl. The little ghost flew to the side of the bone beast, crouched down, and touched the latter with its translucent spirit.
Then the little ghost turned to the Death Knight and asked, "Uncle Big, can I keep it?"
"No!" replied the Death Knight, "this thing belongs to someone else!". He rolled over and dismounted, and walked towards Angus.
