Chapter 2: Skeletons

Night slowly fell, but Carl did not dare to sleep completely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This cemetery is the city's public cemetery, funded by the church, and citizens can be buried here for a small amount of money after death, of course, the church also has the obligation to protect the dead from being disturbed.

The cemetery is not big, but it is not small, and the 200 by 300 open area can be completely accommodated in the eyes of the night watchman, but it is not popular, there are only one tombstone after another, and it looks like a panic.

Carl had been half-asleep, with the rusty iron sword beside his bed, which might be of little practical use in the face of a great crisis, but it could give people a sense of security.

A cold wind blew, a dark cloud obscured the moon, and the cemetery seemed to become even darker.

"Click. ”

"Click. ”

The sound of two clear footsteps in a row was very obvious in this silent night.

Carl came to his senses instantly, did not make a sound with a big movement, raised his head slightly and looked around the room, there was no abnormality. Carefully got out of bed, grasped the iron sword placed on the ground, and slowly lifted it.

Near the edge of the window, the probe looks out.

The first thing I saw was the fire watch on a high place not far away, two lights were extinguished, and it was now two o'clock in the evening.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the night watchman of the clock tower would light six brass candlesticks, extinguish one on the hour, and extinguish all of them until the next morning.

Turning his gaze, he saw a white humanoid presence.

This is...... Skeleton?

The challenge difficulty of an ordinary skeleton is about the same as that of an adult man, but the soul flame in front of him, which is two and a half meters high, holds a large shovel in his hand, and can be clearly seen from the side, clearly shows that if he rushes forward, he will inevitably be broken in two.

Carl gasped, it turns out that this is what it means to be careful with bones?

It is likely that the previous Night's Watch was awakened by the skeleton and did not hide himself, and then was killed.

As long as you don't go out, can you survive?

The huge skeleton ignored, or didn't notice that Carl, a small human, was observing it, raised a shovel and stuck it in a grave, and in two or three clicks, a corpse was dug out and put into a ** bag.

The corpse of an ordinary citizen, why?

If it is a tomb robber, it is impossible to dig up such a target with no obvious interest.

And it can drive skeletons.

Carl couldn't help but think of a terrifying possibility-

"Necromancer!"

This skeleton is a necromancer's minion, collecting materials for him to practice and cast spells.

What to do?

First of all, as a night watchman, if you don't protect the cemetery, you will definitely be punished, and secondly, the necromancer......

Carl thought of a question, the other party is an undead, can he not be exposed? The undead are very sensitive to all life, especially humans.

Be proactive.

Be proactive.

Don't be impulsive.

Be proactive.

......

After a fierce exchange of ideas, Carl decided to strike first!

Gripping the hilt of his sword, he quietly opened the door, crouching and slowly sneaking behind the big skeleton.

One of the common knowledge about the undead is the fire of the soul.

Without attacking the body and limbs that looked solid, holding his breath, Carl gathered all his strength to shovel the grave while the skeleton bent down to shovel the grave, and slashed at the skeleton's neck with a sword.

However, only a crisp collision sound was heard, and the iron sword was bounced high, and a closer look could still see small cracks, and the huge shock force almost made the iron sword out of his hand.

"Really...... Terrible. Karl stepped back.

The skeleton paused for a few seconds after being attacked, then slowly raised its head and turned to Carl, the soul fire in the hollow of its eyes beating with mockery.

"Little ant, what about your all-out sneak attack?" the skeleton spoke, accompanied by a tooth-aching grinding sound followed by a frantic collision.

Shoot across the shovel.

The skeleton's size looked huge and clumsy, but its speed was not affected at all, fast, so fast that only the shadow of a shovel could be seen cutting through the air.

Unable to dodge, the sheer difference in speed left Karl barely parrying with his sword, but it didn't work.

was directly slapped more than ten meters away, and there was pain all over the body, barely standing up, the muscles of his arms and legs were whining, has it reached the limit?

The body is still too weak.

Carl took a deep breath.

There was still hope for him, and before he came out to attack, he crushed the alarm rune in the Night's Watch hut, which would not make a sound, but would signal an emergency directly to the cathedral.

Just hold on until that time.

The skeleton grabbed Carl by the collar and grabbed him, unable to resist, and his physical state had no strength to resist.

"What are you expecting?" the skeleton slowly walked to the outside of the Night's Watch hut, "and expect someone to come and save you?"

Carl was shocked.

"It's useless! it's useless!" the skeleton laughed maniacally, slapping Karl against the wall of the Night's Watch's hut.

Carl spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his vision was blurred with bright red, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"How many Night's Watch do you think I've killed?" the skeleton whispered terrifying words into Carl's ear, "You're the fifth." ”

Will you die here today?

Karl's hands hung limply, and he inadvertently touched the circle on the outer wall.

The power of light surged up his fingertips, and in just a few seconds, he dyed Carl bright white.

A streak of white flame appeared on the skeleton's claws gripping Cal's bones, causing the monster to let out a roar of horror and rage.

"Damn, how can the divine counterattack take the initiative, or directly maximize the force. ”

The vision in the perception of the semi-unconscious Carl was somewhat different from that of this skeleton.

In a situation on the verge of life and death, the perception of the physical body was infinitely weakened, and the perception of the soul was infinitely enhanced, and it was only for a moment that he understood the effect of the magic circle he was leaning on.

Defensive, counter-attacking.

The light elements are arranged in a collusive posture, they are very stable, but if they receive a blow from an external force, they will destroy this connection, and at the same time burst out with a powerful force, the stronger the external force, the more it is destroyed, the greater the strength of the counterattack!

If you can stimulate this power.

Carl's detached body, weak but powerful spiritual power, came into contact with the light elementals with this will.

In just an instant, the elements began to reassemble and began to burst out of their power.

Karl slowly opened his eyes, what kind of eyes were they. There is no look, there is only a dazzling light. At the request of his soul, the light elemental temporarily sustained his body and became his strength.

The explosive force didn't last long, so Carl didn't hesitate and slammed his fist into the big skeleton's head. The skeleton was just suppressed by the invading light elemental flames, and could not make an effective dodge.

"Bang!" the big skeleton screamed, but still full of energy.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

......

Ten punches, twenty punches.

Karl's hands were already bloody and fleshy, but the soul fire in the skeleton's eyes was already extremely weak, and real fear began to appear in its eyes, and it was afraid.

"You can't kill me!" it screamed.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust. Karl said slowly.

It's not just what he meant, it's what he and the elements in his body share.

The elements do not have a will, but they do have a tendency.

Light and darkness, everywhere there are enemies.

At least in this world, the enemy.

One hand is pressed on the skeleton's shoulder, and the other hand pushes the skull hard.

The already tight connection was already fragile, and the head fell from the body, and the soul fire was officially extinguished.

Carl tilted his head and fainted.
