Chapter 444: The Pattern Ring, Bone Splicing

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, and his pupils instantly turned dark purple, seeing through the vanity.

That face was not just a human face, but a strange organ made of dense bones spliced together, twisted and deformed, ugly and disgusting to the extreme.

His mouth was open and closed, and he let out a hoarse and ugly laugh, and his cloudy eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he was pleased with the fresh corpse, and let out a ho-ho giggle.

Crunch crunch crunch ~

With a piercing and sharp noise, the entire bronze coffin trembled violently, the cracks rapidly expanded, and countless white bones crawled out and filled the coffin.

Click!

The bronze coffin exploded, turning into flying parts, crackling and falling to the ground, making a crisp sound of gold and stone colliding.

A skull with a long gray beard and claws protruded from the broken coffin board, the back of the withered hand covered with heavy black hair, the joints were jagged, and the nails were trimmed short.

It grabbed the debris on the ground and slipped it on, sneering as it wore it, baring its teeth and letting out a strange, ugly hoarse growl in its throat.

The skull turned its neck, and the green ghost fire burned in its eye sockets, staring at Leon who was standing in the distance.

Leon's attention was focused on the other party, and he didn't notice this scene.

He frowned, the muscles twitching slightly at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on the few small bags hanging from the skull's arms.

The bag is affixed with tawny strips of paper with quirky floral symbols, woven with silver thread.

A red rope is tied around the mouth of the bag, and a small ring hangs from the end of the knot.

"It's ...... The Lord of the Rings? ”

Leon frowned, recognizing the logo on the bag - the magic weapons and equipment of this world all carry a certain degree of magic effect, and these symbols are the core components of the magic weapon.

The logo on the bag is the Tears of Apophis, which Leon found in ancient Egyptian ruins, and later gave it to Esbel for self-defense, and she put it in her bag.

Could it be ......

"My friend."

The skull beckoned to Leon and smiled sadly, "I feel a familiar aura in you...... Who are you? ”

His voice was sharp and hoarse, but there was a femininity that made people feel cold all over his body, and his hairs stood on end.

Leon raised his right hand and clenched the handle of his fist.

The skeleton's legs snapped and slowly emerged from the coffin.

His bones were intact, his skin was smooth and tight, and each knuckle was wrapped in fine, dense metal chains, as if they were alive together.

"Who are you?"

Leon stared at the skeleton in front of him.

The skeleton grinned, revealing its sharp, jagged fangs, and chuckled, "We should have seen it, somewhere on the North American continent." At that time, I was still looking for the Holy Grail in Egypt, and you also came to help find the Holy Grail? ”

"You're the grave robber, Carlfred!" Li Ang suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to be still alive, and you are still in the ancient Egyptian mausoleum." ”

"Oh? You know me? A green ghostfire sparked in the skeleton's eyes, "I remember you, you are the guardian knight of Apophis, called Loki. ”

"Loki?"

Leon raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I see, you are Loki, the guy who stole the godhead." ”

"What is Godhead?"

The skeleton asked with interest.

Li Ang sneered, "Since you are a revenant, you don't need to know what kind of existence the gods are. ”

"Hehehehehe......"

The skull's shriveled lips twitched, revealing a penetrating smile, and said in a strange voice: "I am not a dead soul, I am a dead person, the dead are not afraid of the gods......

As soon as he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, and his empty eye sockets suddenly swelled, covered with bloodshots, revealing a look of pain and struggle.

A little bit of green flame floated out of the skull's skull, slowly merging into Leon's body, turning into pure elemental energy.

The skull's eyes were dark, losing all their luster, and it fell to the ground, not to react again.

Li Ang spread out his palm, and in the palm of his hand lay a translucent, glittering green crystal ball, which was the heart of the skeleton.

"It's a very rich elemental fluctuation."

Leon muttered to himself, placing his heart in his coat pocket on his chest, and continued to observe the bronze coffin in the center of the cavern, as well as the giant coffin fragment next to the coffin.

The coffin fragments are composed of hundreds of fine chains, on which are intricately drawn, forming a complex and obscure array, containing majestic and majestic magical elements.

"This is a magic circle?"

Leon stepped forward, touched the mutilated formation, pondered carefully, and tried to decipher the secrets inside.

Click, click!

The sound of mechanical movement suddenly sounded under his feet, and he lowered his head to find that small mechanical arms protruded from the dirt beneath the bronze coffin, tearing the ground apart and opening a hidden passage.

"You lowly worms, who desecrate the dead, will bear a severe punishment."

Robotic arms extended out of the passage, dragging the three corpses into the dark river.

Leon frowned and stared, and found that the three corpses were all undressed in any armor or weapons, naked, their skin was wrinkled and loose, and they had lost all their activity, turning into three dried corpses that had weathered for many years.

The faces of the three deceased were similar to those of the skeleton mage, but they were not synchronized, as if they were triplet brothers.

Leon watched in silence as the three bodies were dragged into the dark river and floated downstream along the riverbed.

"Hmmm......"

He squatted at the bottom of the pit and reached out to pick up a handful of ashes, "Those buried here are relatives or close friends of the deceased.

Two of the bodies were more than two meters tall and were supposed to be brothers. In the past two years, their relatives and friends have suffered disasters and many people have died.

And the last corpse is an elderly version of the brothers, smaller in size, apparently the older brother, who should be a few years older than the younger brother. ”

"How do you know?" The voice in my head asked.

"Because their eyes were blind, and they didn't have the bridge of their noses, and they were left with only two lumps of rotten flesh, which looked like they had been cut off during the battle."

Leon shook his head, "They must have died in the beast attack outside the cemetery and were eaten. ”

"My eyes didn't hurt."

"I was trapped here, digging with the rest of the people, and found the tomb of Arthas in the depths of the Underground Palace.

I struggled to escape, thinking I would finally be able to get rid of the prisoner...... But I didn't expect that his strength would increase again, I was just a puppet, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't kill him.

Until today...... I finally killed him. ”

"Wait, you just said 'that prisoner'?" Leon keenly caught the keyword, "What do you mean?" ”

"Alsace...... No, he has long since stopped calling this name, he is no longer the Arthas I know. The skeleton mage's voice was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"My dear friend, have you really forgotten those days? At the castle of Azmodean, he used to call me as a servant.

We are good brothers, and I am willing to do everything I can to help him achieve his wish.
