Chapter 173: The Ruins of the Temple of the Apocalypse (4)
When they saw the terrifying-looking undead on the other side rushing towards them, they immediately tried their best to cast spells to intercept them, but under the strange enchantment shroud in the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse, Xiassi's spell-casting ability was greatly suppressed, whether it was the speed of spell casting or the ability to gather the magic energy around them, they were not as good as usual, and they were powerless to prevent the dead Templar from approaching them。
A gust of wind swept past Sheassi, and Emma's tall figure crossed the three of them and rushed towards the rotting Templar, who brandished his scepter and blasted the thick lightning bolt at Emma, who did not dodge the attack, and just let the lightning bombard her chest, whining and whining echoed through the corridor, and countless small arcs of electricity flashed across Emma's chest.
By the time the arcs and their sounds had died down, Emma appeared unharmed in front of the dead Templar, bowing slightly, as if mourning her former companions, and before the undead Templar could react, Emma picked up the flaming lava hammer in her hand and slammed it down on the rotting corpse on the other side.
A deafening roar echoed through the corridor again, and the corpse of the dead Templar and the rusty armor on its body immediately fell apart under Emma's powerful blow, and exploded into countless fragments, which were ignited by the flames caused by the lava warhammer before they could be splashed around, and were quickly reduced to ashes and scattered on the floor of the corridor as they flew out in all directions.
"Wow, Sister Emma, you're so good!" Avro couldn't help but shout, but Siassi quickly pulled her, and the latter was slightly stunned, and then remembered Emma's origins, and then realized that what she said was too presumptuous, so she quickly closed her mouth and began to remain silent.
Emma lifted the lava hammer from her hand and turned around and walked back to Ryan's side, before she said to Ryan and the rest of her companions, "I remember that the corpses here are all dried corpses, why is this Templar's corpse starting to decompose? Is it corrupted by some evil force? Ryan, you know a little bit about necromancy and dark spells, do you know what the hell is going on?"
"I'm just scratching the surface. Ryan shook his head and said, "After being attacked by the Dark Ritual, this place immediately sank under the ground, and the process of almost complete containment for two hundred years has dehydrated the corpses inside and turned them into dried corpses. As for the current decomposing corpse, it is difficult to say what the exact reason is, it may be caused by frequent comings and goings, after all, there have been thousands of people exploring and transporting here recently, and it is impossible not to disturb the rest of these wandering spirits. It is also possible that you said that it has been corrupted by the evil force, and even a dried corpse cannot resist this dark power, which is why the vast majority of undead creatures that use corpses as soul vehicles are a pile of white bones. ”
"Hope is the former. Emma said with some concern: "If it's the latter, the situation will be very troublesome." Now, there is no need to hide anything from Siassi and them, just tell them about it. ”
"Good. Ryan nodded, and then told the three of them about the secret of sealing powerful creatures in the lower layer of the Temple of the Apocalypse, and it was only at this time that they understood what was going on with all the incomprehensions in the past, but there were more doubts in their hearts, why the god wanted to seal such a powerful creature here, why the army of the undead used a dark ritual to destroy this place, and why the Templars could actually achieve the "dual cultivation of magic and martial arts" with a sword in one hand and a spell in the other Since their power is divine, who is the god that these Templars believe in? Is it the same god who sealed the powerful creature here in the first place?
With these questions, the three of them followed Ryan and continued to walk along the road, led by Emma, the guide who once lived here, Ryan's party traveled much faster, and the scattered wandering undead along the way could not stop Ryan's footsteps, often before these dead Templars were aware that outsiders had broken into this place, they were completely purified under Ryan's fire magic, which was also Emma's request, these heroic Templars had been fighting against the evil undead legions during their lifetimes, so they would never be willing to be minions of the undead legions after death。
Emma and Ryan walked around the dark corridors for nearly forty minutes, during which time they saw many Cassano warriors who had fallen to the ground, most of them killed by magic, and a few of them were impaled through the bodies with weapons by the dead Templars. Naturally, the Cassano warriors who were killed by magic had died and turned into corpses, but the corpses of those who had been struck by the dead Templars with weapons had been resurrected as undead creatures, and their bodies had also shown extensive decomposition, filling the entire corridor with a rancid and disgusting smell.
When Emma led Ryan and them into a huge palace that was unusually empty, Siassi and the others were immediately frightened by the scene, hundreds of corpses dressed in rust and most of their bodies were decomposed, and they were concentrating on catching and killing, if they were all intact humans, needless to say, this situation in front of them must have reflected the spirit of these Templars' hard work, but they still kept doing the same thing after becoming corpses, which was too terrifying, that is, Ryan They were strong enough, and if they were Adra's cousin, they were afraid that being scared to pee on the spot would be the lightest reaction。
"Crackle, crackle!" the torch in Richie's hand resounded with this regular sound because of the burning, and it was heard far away in the quiet arena, and the group was "practicing" The dead Templars of the martial arts stopped their movements one after another, and turned their faces to look in the direction where the voice came from, since these corpses have decomposed, their faces naturally cannot still be intact, many of them have only white bones left, and more corpses are rotten flesh mixed with white bones, after looking at the empty eyes, they can see that Richie and their hearts are furious, although they know that there is a teacher Ryan here, they will not be harmed by these guys, but the three students still can't help but break out in a cold sweat all of a sudden。
"Into the ...... Invade...... Invade...... "A dead Templar spoke in a muffled voice, its skeletal jaw clicking as it trembled, almost muffling out the voice, and after saying these words, it swung its spiked mace vigorously, pointing the weapon at Emma, who was at the forefront.
Emma shuddered a few times when she heard the voice, and she took a few steps forward, her eyes fixed on the half-decomposed corpse, and after a few seconds she spoke: "Alfonso, Alfonso, it's really you, you ......."
"Ah...... Square...... Ask ......" The Templar who spoke slightly tilted the skull of most of the skull sideways, and looked Emma up and down with empty eyes, and at the same time, the few carrion on his face showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was somewhat familiar with the name that Emma said, but it had come back from the dead and turned into an undead creature, and its memories of life were almost erased, not to mention that this corpse now basically did not possess human intelligence, and it and its companions continued to practice martial arts here, completely driven by the instinct of their lives, if it were not for Ryan and them to disturb, maybe this group of dead Templars would continue the same action here over and over again, and it would never be possible。
Seeing the expression of the corpse on the other side, who was called Alfonso, Emma immediately remembered that she was no longer the body she used to be, so she hurriedly said, "It's me, Emma-Angelina, do you remember me......?
Emma remembered her own change, but ignored that the Alfonso she was talking about had also changed dramatically, and before she could finish her words, the corpse of another Templar on the opposite side suddenly struck the weapon in her hand against the shield carried by the other stiff arm, although the surface of the weapon and shield were rusty, but after all, they were carefully forged with Mithril, and after these few blows, a clear sound was immediately heard, but this sound sounded more like a battle horn to the ears of the dead Templars, and all the dead Templar corpses, including that Alfonso, took a few steps towards EmmaFrom their uniform movements, it can be seen that these Templars were highly trained warriors during their lifetimes, and even without the help of god-given mana, they could use their weapons to shred all enemies who tried and dared to invade the Temple of the Apocalypse.
"They're not your fellow comrades anymore, Emma!" Ryan, who was standing not far behind Emma, said this fact in a faint voice, Emma turned her body suddenly, as if she was angry that Ryan had awakened herself from her ethereal fantasy, but she did not vent her anger on Ryan in the end, but threw herself into Ryan's arms and cried loudly, but unfortunately she is also a puppet golem now, although the crying voice is there, it is impossible to shed tears, Ryan's enchantment skills are not yet lifelike.
