Chapter 37 (Bones)
"Honey, you're awake!!"
I don't know how long later, Deklaas woke up in the warm and gentle embrace of Meshna.
“... What's wrong with me..."
Deklaas didn't know what was wrong with him, he only remembered that before he fainted, he was killing three worms with an Annihilation Blast blast. But how did you faint??
"Don't worry, you're just overdrawn with mana. And, my dear, feel your own rank. Hearing Deklaas's confused question, Messena smiled sweetly and tapped her fingers lightly at Deklaas's smooth frontal bone.
“... Ninth Order... How can it be... How long have I been in a coma..."Listening to Messena's words, Deklaas immediately sensed his soul fire, and was shocked to find that he was already a ninth-order necromancer!! But it's enough to shock Decraas!!
You must know that even if the dead air in this room is thick, it is impossible to advance so quickly. When he entered the room, he carefully calculated, with the concentration of dead qi here, it would take him at least a year and a half!!How could it be so fast!?
"Three days!!Honey, you've been in a coma for three whole days!!If you hadn't woken up, I would have thought something had happened to you!!!!
In fact, she also wondered why Deklaas would advance to the ninth order in a row within three days. Moreover, although it is true that the mana overdraft will put the undead into a coma, but three days... How is it possible??How could Deklaas be in a coma for three days with such a level of mana overdraft!?
“... My dear... Can you help me up... My body... I don't have the strength to do it..."After a moment's thought, Deklaas asked Meshna to lift him up, who was weak. He figured that his advancement was most likely due to something in this room, so he wanted to find out what it was.
"Hmm. Messena nodded slightly, and helped Deklaas to his feet. If Deklaas only has a bunch of bones left and is relatively light, then with the great strength of the demon clan, Deklaas's weight is really nothing.
As soon as he stood up, Deklaas, who was supported by Messena, saw that the faces of the others were more or less unsightly. It is not difficult to see that they should have indigestion plus a small amount of dead air into the body, known for complications.
“... Where are those three worms... Why aren't there any of them?" had nothing to do with those people, and Deklaas didn't want to focus on those people. He looked around, and saw that the three worms that were like waves of people were gone, and immediately asked very suspiciously.
"I don't know. You kill more than 90 percent of the worms with magic before you fall unconscious. At that time, I was in a hurry for you, so I didn't pay attention to those worms, and by the time we found them, those worms were gone!!" Messena shook her head slightly.
Hearing this, Deklaas stopped asking about the whereabouts of the three worms, after all, it was a vain question, it was better to go and carefully investigate the secrets in this room.
With Messena's support, Deklaas inspected the room. In a corner to the west, the two of them found several skeletons. Although it doesn't seem strange, Deklaas still finds a clue!!
Among these skeletons, there was a necklace around its neck, a necklace that Deklaas used to see so often!
It was a love object given to him by his wife, so he always carried it, and Deklaas had seen the pendant many times.
“... Cohen... I didn't expect it... You'll be here... We broke up because of that... But I didn't expect... You're going to have something to do with my death...", looking at Cohen's worm-strewn bones, Deklaas sighed helplessly.
Cohen was one of his few childhood friends. When he was a child, he was bullied because of his blonde hair and golden eyes, and he had almost no friends. There are only three or four of them, including Cohen. If it weren't for Cohen's insults to him and Milena, he wouldn't have broken with Cohen.
After thinking about it for a moment, Deklaas asked Messena to join him in the pile of bones to find something valuable. After all, the two of them are not explorers, and the two of them are here to investigate the cause of Deklaas's death!!
While Deklaas and Mecina were battling the pile of bones, Wesker and the others were talking about any way to get out of here. After all, it's not a good idea to go on like this, and it's very likely that you'll starve to death like this!!
"What do you think we should do now???This damn passage can't get out now!!We can't just starve to death like this, can we??" Quaidli, who had a very bad face, looked around at the pitch black surroundings and asked the others.
"Hmm~~ I think we should still be in the room and look for the mechanism that opens the door to the passage!!" Xiudrep groaned slightly, then glanced at the two Deklaas, who were pitch black, only a little blue, and kept making clicking sounds, and then proposed.
"Traps??Haven't we been looking for them in the past three days, besides the few offensive traps in the passage??" Wesker asked viciously as soon as he heard Shodrep's proposal.
"No, I think Brother Xiudrap is right, opening the door must be in this room, otherwise, what kind of temple is this!!" the old mercenary thought carefully before speaking.
Hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and they thought that it was also true, how could a temple not have a mechanism to leave?? However, if Deklaas was not now concentrating on looking for clues in the pile of bones, it was likely that he would be very disdainful of their thoughts.
You must know that "Shabu Nicholas" is a stupid evil god, if it weren't for those visitors from the other world, it is likely that this temple would be a huge and extremely dangerous cave!!How could there be a mechanism to get out???How could there be!!If so, what could he be an evil god??
At this moment, Deklaas and Messena pulled out a token made of silver and iron from the pile of bones. Judging from the pattern and text on the token, this thing should belong to a minister of the Tsukimori Kingdom!!
But how could a minister be here, and still die with Cohen?......? After a little scrutiny, something that Deklaas couldn't think of appeared in Deklaas's soul fire
