After the rebellion, Alan took Arcadia and escaped from the camp overnight, hiding in the dense forest for the night.

Until the mercenaries sent by Hesse to hunt for him retreated.

As soon as dawn broke, the mercenaries left the camp and forced Dr. Morgan to lead the way in search of the tomb of the ancient Naga.

Five days later.

Alan and Arcadia follow the mercenaries into a Grand Canyon submerged in the jungle.

The Naga Ancestral Mausoleum, carved in the belly of the deepest part of the canyon, spirals downward and stretches downward.

The cross-sectional view of the tomb is like a big snake coiled together.

Pale bones can be seen everywhere along the way.

There are humans, birds and beasts, all of which are the bones of the martyrs.

Naga, the evil spirit, uses the burial of the living as a kind of pomp and circumstance to show off the wealth and power of the tomb owner.

Arcadia has a lot of criticism about this.

At a time when human martyrdom was widely considered an inhumane act, it was almost extinct in the civilized world.

Alan was not surprised.

In today's world of warlocks, there is a wide range of human martyrdom.

The warlock lord of the big family died, and when he was buried, it was common to bury a group of lowly slaves alive.

He was the master when he was alive, and he was the master when he died.

He was born as a slave, and when he died, he had to go to Hades as a slave.

- The vast majority of warlocks, so they think.

Alan and Arcadia, meet in a meditative world.

In fact, the era in which Allen lived was more than a thousand years later than Arcadia.

With the development of the times, the level of civilization and morality of the warlock world has not improved, but has greatly degraded!

The aristocratic caste system of blood supremacy is so barbaric and cruel.

……

Continue along the serpentine grave road, and the sound of fighting can be faintly heard in front of you.

Eren and Arcadia detect red flags at the same time.

Alan detected a strong toxin reaction.

Arcadia detected necromantic aura.

Her 0-ring magic "Detect Necromancy", similar to Allen's "Detect Virus", can sense negative energy fluctuations within 30 meters of her surroundings when activated.

Negative energy is pure death magic.

Areas rich in negative energy, usually infested with the undead.

Alan and Arcadia looked at each other, both wary in their eyes.

Intense negative energy and level 3 snake venom while concentrating on a single target.

That's interesting......

Nervous and curious, the two slowed down and searched forward.

In the dimly lit burial chamber, two mercenaries are fighting.

The mercenaries' opponents, their former comrades-in-arms, have now become zombies.

Four zombies, besieging two wounded mercenaries.

By the time Alan and Arcadia arrived, the battle was over.

Two mercenaries, lying in a pool of blood.

One of them has been gnawed by zombies to reveal his bones.

"It's disgusting!"

Arcadia gritted her teeth and swung her sword into a silver glow.

A flash of sword energy!

A zombie who was cut off on the spot.

The upper body dragged the stomach intestines, and it was still crawling.

"The wounded soldiers over there haven't died yet, so heal them."

Alan told Arcadia a word and threw himself into the tomb.

Allen, in his leopard form, almost doubles his running speed.

The sluggish zombie didn't have time to react at all, and was knocked down by the punches and kicks infused with "blasting through the bones".

“Aman！”

Arcadia chanted a mantra that symbolized "protection".

Raising his hand and pointing, the wounded soldier sitting against the wall was wrapped in a golden light mask.

Under the protection of the 1st ring "Sanctuary Technique", as long as he doesn't take the initiative, he usually won't be attacked by monsters.

The undead, in particular, were especially afraid of the sacred aura emitted by the "Sanctuary Technique" and avoided it.

Cleanly disposing of the four zombies, Eren walked over to the dying wounded soldier.

Ask what happened in the mausoleum and why his companions turned into zombies.

The wounded soldier spoke a few words intermittently, and then he died.

Arcadia had blessed him with the "Healing Technique".

It's a pity that the internal organs were badly damaged and could not be saved.

"The curse of the Naga Mistress ......," Alan sighed, "it has finally come true." ”

Before dying, the wounded soldier revealed that they followed Captain Hesse and Dr. Morgan into the underground mausoleum.

The Doctor had repeatedly warned Hesse not to break the magical seal on the mausoleum gate.

However, the mercenary captain, who was hungry for profit, ignored the warning and still broke in.

Not long after, the mercenary team was attacked by the undead.

After the death of the spirit Naga, the transformed skeleton Naga is even more terrifying than when he was alive!

The most powerful of all the undead monsters is the transformation of the Naga Master.

This crazy witch turned herself and her cronies into undead, and in this way, realized her ambition of "immortality".

After an encounter, the mercenaries are routed and scattered.

The wounded soldier and his teammates planned to flee the Naga Tomb along the same route.

However, the teammates who died in the previous battle were resurrected by the Naga Mother and turned into zombies to hunt them down.

The two fought and ran, and finally fell seriously injured and collapsed here.

"It seems that the trouble is bigger than we thought." Arcadia's face was ugly, "Except for the Hessian party, I'm afraid the skeleton Naga won't be polite to us." ”

Her concerns soon became a reality.

Snort......

Snort......

On the other side of the burial chamber, there was a piercing scraping sound.

A bony snake squirmed through the tomb passage, blocking the exit of the tomb.

The skeleton Naga was draped in long, withered hair.

Slowly raise your head, revealing a skeletal face!

In the depths of the eye sockets, two pale soul fires flickered.

Staring viciously at outsiders.

"Evil spirits! May you rest in peace! ”

Arcadia prayed in a trembling voice, as if to embolden herself.

There was no ambiguity in his hand, and he drew his sword and threw out a cold light!

Boom!

The sword qi was like a silver moon, breaking through the air and slashing at the skeleton Naga, only cutting off a bone fragment.

Arcadia frowned, realizing that sword qi was not effective in killing this bone frame.

Hurriedly put away his sword and retreated, while reciting the incantation.

“Rúnya！”

A golden pillar of fire descended from the sky.

Hit the skeletal Naga on the head, interrupting her fluttering action.

"Holy Fire Technique", which has both fire and light attributes, the latter can cause double damage to the undead.

Unfortunately, it's just a 0-ring magic.

The rank is too low, even if the power is doubled, it is far from enough to kill the skeleton Naga in an instant.

At the same time, the skeletal Naga shook the skull, using an eerie hissing current instead of chanting incantations.

His eyes widened, and his sockets burst out with cyan brilliance.

Arcadia's body trembled and froze!

A strong feeling of paralysis invades the whole body, and you can't move a finger if you want to!

Hound pace!

Allen's figure flashed, blocking Arcadia's front.

Boom!

The skeleton Naga was kicked back by him, tumbling and falling into the graveyard, scattering bones along the way.

With Allen's physical attributes, he infused a kick of "Bone Piercing Burst" and kicked it firmly......

The one-meter-thick cement pillars had to be kicked off on the spot!

The skeleton body of the skeleton Naga has a good defense effect against sharp weapons such as swords.

Punches and kicks are blunt blows, but they can easily break her defenses.

Eren didn't chase down Naga, the skeleton who fell back into the tombway, because there was also the rustle of bones rubbing against the stone wall behind him!

Another skeleton, Naga, crawled in through the entrance to the burial chamber and stared at Allen, his eye sockets spewing out ice-blue rays.

"Reinforced iron bones" protect the body, Alan carries the "frozen rays" hard, and the face does not change color.

However, in an instant, the skeleton Naga was already entangled in Arcadia.

The skeleton grinned, the gums overflowed with toxins, and bit down hard on the girl's snow-white and pink neck!

Alan decisively bowed to the ground and turned into a panther form.

Pong, pounce!

The most obvious difference between the three forms of the leopard man is speed.

Human form, with no speed bonus.

In leopard form, it is twice as fast as a humanoid.

The panther form, the most exaggerated, almost tripled in speed!

Leopard speed!

Hound pace!

The two are superimposed, so fast that even Alan himself can barely control it!

Like a black bolt of lightning, it slammed straight into the skeleton Naga.

Boom!

The skeleton Naga was knocked to the ground, and the bones were splattered!

When he came back to his senses, he found that the girl in his arms had broken away and was replaced by a black panther.

The skeleton Naga's brain had long since dried up, his intelligence had deteriorated, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he bit the panther on the neck fiercely.

I clicked down, and I didn't have time to inject the toxin......

A mouthful full of gums crumbled into bone slag.

The 4th-order body refining secret method "Steel and Iron Bone" is so domineering!

At the same time, Arcadia finally got rid of the "immobilization technique".

didn't care about drawing his sword, so he slapped his palm on the spine of the skeleton Naga with his empty hand!

The fingers glow with a soft halo, and it is a 1-ring "healing technique"!

"Healing" invokes positive energy, that is, life magic, which is diametrically opposed to the negative energy that creates the undead!

This spell used to heal the living can also be used to kill dead souls.

The thick vertebrae of the skeleton Naga cracked inch by inch under the caress of the girl's slender hand containing positive energy.

There was a click, and the waist snapped.

Eren stepped forward and changed back into his leopard form.

Shine on the skeletal Naga's head and stomp on it!

Burst!

The skull shattered in response.

Destroy a skeleton Naga, and the crisis is not resolved.

Before, after, left and right, the grave was filled with a rustling sound that made the scalp tingle.

The sound of fighting in the tomb is attracting more skeleton Naga.

Being blocked in a small burial chamber by many skeleton Naga is no joke!

Alan picked up Arcadia and flew into the graveyard ahead.

The skeleton Naga, who had been kicked and injured by him before, stood in the opposite direction, shook his head and tail, and was casting a spell.

Alan ran at full speed.

"Get out of here!"

Before she can finish casting, she flies into the air.

Boom!

Brace.

The skeleton Naga was kicked away again.

This time, I was kicked in the head, and I couldn't get up at all.

Arcadia was held in Alan's arms, and she was not idle, quickly making spell-casting gestures and chanting spells.

Creates a dark and cold magical curtain that envelops the two of them.

The skeleton Naga around watched Alan speed and pass by, but he didn't chase after him.

It was as if he and Arcadia didn't exist at all.

Eren sped at full speed, quickly leaving the group of skeleton Naga behind.

When he arrived at a secluded tomb and made sure that there were no undead around, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the girl in his arms.

"What kind of spell did you just use?" Alan asked Arcadia, "How can we make the undead blind to us." ”

"In fact, it's called 'Undead Ignorance.'"

Arcadia explained in a low voice.

"This 1-ring magic can strengthen the concentration of negative energy around us and shield the breath of life."

"Undead creatures rely on detecting the breath of life to find enemies, so they will be deceived by this spell and treat us as the same kind of undead."

"Of course, this kind of fraud doesn't always work."

"If we take the initiative to attack the undead, or if the other party's mental power is higher than mine, it will still be exposed."

Alan nodded and asked her, "Such a good spell, why didn't you use it earlier to save trouble?" ”

"Uh......" Arcadia scratched her head and laughed, "I was scared silly before, just remembered it, and this trick." ”

Syllable!

Alan was on Miss Angel's head and had a brain crash.

"Can't you usually decorate more useful things in your little head?"

Arcadia rubbed her forehead and pouted, her eyes full of grievances.

"In fact...... My dear, I usually think about you all in my head! ”

The corners of Alan's mouth twitched.

“…… When I didn't say. ”

……

In the burial chamber, a skeleton, Naga, lies in a coiled circle.

Around her, there were three zombies, all dressed as mercenaries, and there were still blood stains on their bodies.

As soon as Alan and Arcadia walked in, they heard the neighing of the skeleton Naga, thought they had been discovered, and hurriedly prepared for battle.

Thankfully, the Undead Blindness is still in effect.

The skeleton Naga glanced at the two of them, her eyes unwavering, as if they were just a cloud of air.

Indifferently retracted his gaze, turned and crawled into the tomb.

Three mercenary zombies are holding swords and walking slowly.

Following behind the skeleton Naga, they walked into the tomb one after another.

Eren gave Arcadia a look.

The two followed the zombies through one empty stone burial chamber after another.

Along the way, blood stains and discarded swords were often seen, but no corpses were to be seen.

As you can imagine, the corpses have been transformed into zombies by the Naga Mother with necromantic magic.

At the end of the tomb, there is a surprisingly large dome.

From the floor to the vaulted ceiling, the height is more than 20 meters, and it looks like a cathedral built underground.

This is the sacrificial hall of the Naga Tomb, which is dedicated to the place where human sacrifices are held.

The altar in the center of the hall is made of gold!

Even to say that it is a mountain of gold is not an exaggeration!

Around the Golden Altar, dig a drain.

In ancient times, Naga killed people and sacrificed on the altar, and this circle of drainage ditches was specially used to guide blood.

Dr. Morgan sat with his back to the altar in a dry canal, bloodstained and his glasses shattered.

Opposite the golden altar, there was the sound of fierce fighting.

Obscured by the altar, it is impossible to see who is fighting whom.

"My dear! You're fast, try to lure the skeleton Naga away! Arcadia whispered in Ellen's ear, "I'll turn into an angel and fly right over the zombie's head to rescue the doctor!" ”

"My dad seems to have been poisoned by snakes...... "Alan can detect Naga's unique poisonous aura from the doctor.

"Don't worry, I have an antidote spell!"

Eren nodded, leaning over to transform into a panther.

Under the cover of the shadows by the wall, get close to the skeleton Naga and want to make a wave of backstabs first.

Before he moved, the skeleton Naga moved first.

Swinging the snake's body, he hurriedly walked around the altar and crawled straight to the place where the sound of fighting came.

It seems that he is in a hurry to help his companions.

The three zombies also moved forward with the hostess.

Since they withdrew on their own initiative, there was no need for Alan to startle the snakes.

Follow this undead squad and see what happens next.

Meanwhile, things are going well on Arcadia's side.

Transformed into an angel form, he picked up the unconscious Dr. Morgan, flew to the towering altar, and cast a spell to detoxify the doctor.

The doctor has not yet woken up, but the black aura on his face is dissipating, and his life is worry-free.

On the other side of the altar, corpses were strewn all over the place, and blood was everywhere.

The two sides are the Hessian mercenaries and the Naga.

The two skeletons, Naga, led a horde of zombies and laid siege to Captain Hesse and his men.

The mercenaries fell in a pool of blood one after another, and in the end, Hesse was left alone, and he was surrounded by him.

The giant sword in his hand, the edge of which cracked like a jagged tooth.

When!

Hesse dropped his broken greatsword, his face gloomy.

"No way, you forced me to do this!"

Before he could finish speaking, his body began to swell.

The chain mail was directly bursting, and the falling steel rings flew all over the sky!

In the blink of an eye, Hesse had transformed from a human into a monstrous beast.

It is seven meters long and three meters tall from end to end!

The body is covered with a thick layer of steel-blue scale armor.

Along the vertebrae, convex fin-like plates.

The large, triangular head is encased in scales, revealing a wide mouth and long, narrow eyes.

Bloodshot and murderous eyes!

This monster looks like a jungle monitor with a shark's head!

This is Hesse's third-order atavistic form, the Shark Lizard!

The atavistic Hesse suddenly jumped up and smashed into the skeleton Naga.

The snake demon raised its head and hissed and screamed, trying to use its fangs against the behemoth that fell from the sky.

Bang, the beast falls!

Four thick lower limbs trampled the skeleton Naga fiercely, crushing it in an instant!

The surrounding zombies were also overturned by the shockwaves stirring on the ground.

The sluggish zombie was stepped over by the shark lizard beast before he could get up, and he was trampled into a meat patty.

Hiss –

Naga, the skeleton in front of Allen, hurriedly cast a spell to support.

A broken tooth in his mouth, fuse magic and squirt out!

Turning into a pale bone spear, it shot at the atavistic Hesse.

Boom!

The sharp bone spear slammed into the shark lizard's body protected by thick scale armor and immediately shattered.

Alan saw it in his eyes and was secretly frightened!

This monster, what a thick armor!

The atavistic Hesse, who didn't bother to pay attention to these painless attacks, rushed directly to another skeleton Naga who was performing the "Immobilization Technique".

The blue light radiating from the other party's eyes hit him, useless!

This two-ring magic that paralyzed Arcadia is called "Human Immobilization".

As the name suggests, it is only effective against humanoids.

The atavistic Hesse has become a monster.

If you are no longer in human form, how can you be tricked?

The skeletal Naga, who failed to cast the spell, could only watch as the heavily armored beast rushed towards him.

Eyes full of despair.

In the next second, she was smashed head-on by the shark lizard!

In the hall, only the last skeleton, Naga, remains.

Even the undead with dry brains still have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage.

Knowing full well that he was no match for the atavistic Hesse, Naga turned in place and tried to slip away.

Unfortunately, the direction of the snake demon's escape is directly opposite Alan's hiding place!
