The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows.

Chapter 375 The Power of Death

"I'm Jack Baldo from Catalina."

"Thank you for your help. I finally found the correct way to use this elevator." The Onion Knight sat on the platform and communicated with the giant, then sat beside him in a daze.

After seeing Richard and the other two coming over, he muttered to himself: "Did you see that demon? I'm thinking about how to kill it!"

"This guy looks tough!"

"I'll go first, and you guys wait for your chance to make your move!"

Richard stretched out his hand and grabbed, countless flames gathered, and an astonishing wave of magic power appeared. Sister Friede and the Onion Knight next to him were attracted by this powerful energy wave.

The next second, flames burst out instantly and hit the demon accurately. The powerful force of the fire directly pierced its head and neck, leaving only the part below the chest.

"Is this solved?" The Onion Knight next to him looked at Richard blankly.

"You are amazing!"

"Are your fireless embers so strong?"

"This is a victory worth celebrating." After saying that, the Onion Knight took out a pot of wine from somewhere, raised it and said, "Would you like some? This is a bottle of wine that I saved with great difficulty, haha!"

Richard flew to the side of the demon and a magic gem flew out. The next second, the demon's soul power was extracted into the magic gem, and a high-level soul crystal was obtained.

The Onion Knight next to him took off his mask and drank a sip of wine. Richard also saw the Onion Knight's appearance clearly at this time, and he turned out to be a normal person.

That's right, he is a normal person with flesh and blood, not a zombie. It can be said that he is the first normal person Richard met since he came to this world.

The Onion Knight is a middle-aged man with a beard and an ordinary face. He looks honest and reliable.

"Want a drink?"

"Of course." Richard said with a smile, "But I suggest you try my wine."

Richard snapped his fingers, and a set of tables and chairs appeared in front of him, with a pot of fine wine on top.

"The fruit wine made with various fruits will definitely make you drunk." The invisible servant next to him poured three glasses of wine. The mellow aroma of the wine spread immediately, and the Onion Knight who was about to drink was instantly attracted by the aroma of the wine.

"smell good"

"Would you like a drink?" Richard looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Of course! I must try this kind of wine!" The Onion Knight put his wine gourd back, then took the wine glass handed over by Richard. He first smelled it, then drank it in one gulp.

His eyes narrowed at this moment, savoring the taste of the wine. After a while, he murmured to himself, "I didn't expect to be able to taste such a good wine."

“No regrets now.”

"How come you don't have any regrets? Drinking this wine just once is enough?" Richard said with a smile.

"Not enough! I also want to drink enough, what a pity."

Sister Friede beside her looked at the wine in front of her and shook her head and said, "Nuns can't drink alcohol. Do you have the tea you drank last time?"

"Of course." The invisible servant next to him immediately prepared the tea from last time.

"Where are you going?" Richard asked.

"Where to go?" The Onion Knight thought for a moment, then said, "The City of Sin!"

"I'm going to the City of Sin to keep an appointment with an old friend!"

The City of Sin? The territory of the Giant King Youm. Richard glanced at the Onion Knight. It turned out that in this world, those who can survive to this day or still maintain their self-awareness are not simple.

"Another drink!" The Onion Knight handed over the glass, and the invisible servant immediately filled it up.

"Today's wine is really good, we must drink it to our heart's content"

Sister Friede picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

In this bloody battlefield filled with zombies, three people sat here drinking wine and tea. The scene looked very strange, yet inexplicably harmonious.

After drinking another glass of wine, the Onion Knight became a little drunk and his mind was a little confused.

"This wine has a strong aftereffect."

"Jack Baldo, do you know that there are other normal people in this world?" Richard asked.

"Normal people?" The Onion Knight shook his head. "What do you mean by normal people? There are basically no normal people anymore."

"Even the fire of the Fire King cannot save this world. Ordinary people have already become zombies. I am heading to the City of Sin to help an old friend get rid of his guilt."

"After losing their humanity, people will become crazy. Some people who want to rest in peace will make an agreement that if they go completely crazy, they will ask others to help kill them." Sister Friede recalled and said softly.

"Many undead people in this world want to be truly liberated, that is, to truly rest in peace. They will no longer be resurrected and reduced to crazy zombies, so they will ask old friends for help."

"It's just that more and more people are losing their humanity and turning into crazy zombies. Many people are no longer able to fulfill their promises."

"It's really surprising that he can still remember the agreement with his old friend."

Richard frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with death in this world? Can people be resurrected as zombies after death?"

"Yes." Sister Friede said, "There are only a few places that can absorb the undead curse and allow the undead to rest in peace."

"That's the case with the holy tree in the city of Lothric. Unfortunately, the ancient sacred tree absorbed too many curses and was eventually affected by the curse, turning into a monster."

"The Lothric royal family has sealed the ancient tree."

"The rules of this world have been distorted to such an extent that even resting in peace after death has become a luxury." Richard looked unhappy.

There is something wrong with the rules of the world. Richard looked at the zombies wandering in the city. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked to a high place. A golden scepter appeared in his hand.

——【Death Field! 】

The golden light flickered slightly, and then a powerful force instantly spread out from his body.

"In the name of the god of death, I grant you rest in peace!"——[Death Ripple + Death Domain! 】

The powerful death force instantly expanded in all directions with him as the center. In just a breath of time, this death force swept across. The crazy undead wandering in the city fell to the ground like wheat after the death wave swept through.

In just a moment, all the undead died. These undead were already dead, but the twisted rules forced them to be resurrected and their humanity extracted. Under Richard's death rules, the original twisted rules were forcibly erased, and the power of death allowed these people to die and not be disturbed anymore.

hum!
With a sigh of relief, the whole city suddenly became quiet, and then the bodies of the undead began to decay rapidly, eventually turning into dry bones or dust.

One after another, vague shadows appeared in the city. These people seemed to have regained their consciousness. They leaned slightly towards Richard to express their gratitude, and then turned into faint fluorescent lights and dissipated before his eyes.

A gust of wind blew, and countless fluorescent lights flew up from the city, shining like a starry sky.

"So beautiful." Onion Knight muttered to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"This power is so strong." The Onion Knight was drunk and his mind was a little confused, but Friede next to him could see it clearly. He put the undead in a city to rest. She had never seen such power before. Seeing the undead resting, Friede looked at Richard in shock.

"Well, these undeads have all rested in peace." Richard waved his hand to put away the staff in his hand, and then asked: "Where is the polluted holy tree?"

"It's right there!" Sister Friede said, pointing not far away.

The two men walked over there and saw a lot of mutilated corpses on the ground. Many of them were badly mutilated, as if they had been sawed in half with some tool.

"These were done by the executioners." Friede took a look and said, "Because there is no way to deal with those crazy undead, the Lothric royal family cooperated with the people of the Deep Church."

"Some of the undead were fed to the Deep Saint Aldrich, while the rest were sawed into pieces, leaving only the head and torso. Without legs and hands, the living dead could not move, so we just had to find a place to sell them."

This world has gone completely crazy, and the boundary between life and death has become blurred. According to the beginning of the Age of Fire in this world, it was because of the primordial fire that the world was separated from chaos and the distinction between life and death was established.

Now that the primordial fire of this world is about to go out, the boundary between life and death will become blurred. If there is a god of death in this world, then these undead people will not have so many troubles.

Unfortunately, Richard has never seen any ordinary gods in this world, let alone the God of Death. However, the only possible god is Gwyn, the Sun King. But Gwyn has been burned, and the remaining strong men have no chance of becoming gods.

Richard and his companion continued to move forward, and soon they saw some small giants who were nearly three meters tall. These small giants were sturdy, holding a huge saw in their hands, with naked upper bodies, and a large vat on their backs, which contained the mutilated bodies of many zombies.

However, these executioners are already dead now, and the death wave that Richard just released is also effective against them. Only those undead who are too powerful can survive it.

And these executioners are clearly not strong enough.

The two walked along the road, and after turning a few corners, a dilapidated manor appeared in front of them.

Outside the manor, the sturdy marble steps have been severely weathered and collapsed in many places. There are many kneeling zombies on the roadside, but these zombies are already completely dead.

They came here to pray for rest, and now they have found their wish.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Cursed area discovered!"

"Warning! Warning!"

"Evil contamination discovered!"

When Richard heard the warning from the system tower spirit, his face turned grim. There was indeed something wrong with this world, and evil creatures had already appeared.

Evil creatures are very dangerous. In the world of Motera, the danger level of evil creatures is the same as that of gods and demons. Evil creatures can devour and upgrade, and are very difficult to kill. Their pollution is also extremely difficult to purify. Once they transform into ancient evil creatures, they are more difficult to kill than gods and demons.

Richard walked up the steps and the extremely heavy door slowly opened.

The next second, a strong breath of life rushed towards him, and what appeared before his eyes was not a distorted and terrifying picture, but a scene of lush branches and leaves, entwined vines, and bursts of floral fragrance.

This scene was completely different from the desolate and dilapidated scene he saw outside. If the scene outside was the end of the world, then this place was a paradise.

But this was only the surface. Richard clearly sensed the twisted vitality, which was now beginning to evolve in the direction of a corrupted ancient tree.

The Corrupted Ancient Tree is a very powerful ancient evil in the multiverse. Its power is the chaotic and twisted life force. This ancient evil has completely distorted the rules of life. The overly powerful life force makes everything around it grow disorderly.

All living things will be distorted by it, from cognition to consciousness to body, everything is distorted.

Richard saw that the ancient tree in front of him had already merged vitality and corruption together. At first, he smelled the fragrance of flowers, but he soon discovered that there was a smell of blood hidden in the fragrance.

The roots of the big tree, flowers, and vines have all grown into the bodies of the undead, and are growing by absorbing nutrients from the corpses.

There are also two strange statues here. There are many strange beliefs in this world. Even monsters like Youshen can be called saints, so it’s nothing to have some other beliefs appear.

Countless vines entwined the statues and stone pillars. As Richard and the other man entered, the vines trembled slightly as if they were living things.

And in front, there is a lit candle.

"Is there anyone here?" Richard and Sister Friede nodded slightly, then walked inside, only to see corpses lying on the ground near the candlelight. These were also zombies, and they all died under Richard's magic just now.

The roots of the vines on the ground have already penetrated into the corpses.

Directly in front of us is an old withered tree, but if you look closely, you will find that this ancient tree has powerful twisted life energy, and all the corrupt life energy in the corpses has been extracted.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Curse field strengthening."

"Warning! Warning!"

"Distortion field discovered."

Richard ignored him and continued to approach Qiang. He soon arrived near the twisted tree, and the twisted ancient tree seemed to wake up at this time.

The next second, the twisted ancient tree turned into a strange tree man. But even after becoming a tree man, his movements were still slow.

Seeing the tree man, the staff in Richard's hand flashed with dazzling light. The next second, a powerful force of death suddenly erupted and hit the monster directly in the chest. The branches of the tree quickly rotted.

Immediately afterwards, Richard waved his hand and released a dozen fireballs. The flames flew out instantly and directly burned the surrounding vines and flowers to death.

Dozens of vines flew over like spirit snakes, blocking all the surrounding space, trying to entangle Richard and drain his vitality.
