Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 208: The Haunted House
With Celt's strong reluctance, his spirit left his body which had lost all vitality and was severely decayed.

This process is commonly known as death.

Theoretically, as a Sequence 3, even if faced with a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, there is a good chance of escape.

However, he had been plotted against by Odysseus and had been severely eroded by the "power of death". He was trapped in place for a few seconds and lost the best opportunity to escape.

Later, Bernadette used "Pale Death" like a tornado, which drained all vitality from his body.

And so, this Sequence 3 died in this wilderness.

As soon as Celt's spirit left his body, he was caught by the "snake man". Although he struggled hard and let out screams again and again.

But it is of no use. After all, the "Snake Man" is the incarnation of the feathered serpent mixed with the aura of the "King of the Underworld" and is the natural enemy of all kinds of spirits.

The "Snake Man" opened his mouth and bit the Celtic spirit on the neck. The demigod's spirit immediately shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon and was sucked into the mouth of the "Snake Man".

Bernadette looked at the "snake man" again, and under her extremely cold gaze, the "snake man" just disappeared.

This huge monster was forcibly driven away by her using "Pale Death".

After doing all this, Bernadette quickly took off her mask and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, her face was frighteningly pale. She quickly moved away from here and sealed the seal again.

If it was another god who had fallen, the little bit of power revealed in the resurrection arrangement would never be dispelled so easily.

But the "Death God" path is a bit special. The stronger side will have an overwhelming advantage.

At this time, Bernadette, who has the "pale death", has an overwhelming advantage.

Bernadette withdrew temporarily, and Odysseus stayed to clean up the mess. Although a large amount of "breath of death" was revealed just now, the corpses guarding here immediately blocked the gap again.

After Celt's death, the situation here returned to its original state.

The only difference was that there was an extra Coremond standing there stiffly. He was caught off guard at all and was first hit by the strong "breath of death" and then affected by the "pale death".

This made his current condition very strange. Although he was still alive, he had begun to transform into a zombie.

However, because Odysseus hid behind the "corpse" of the guardian magic circle in time, he was not affected too much. He just felt cold all over, his muscles were stiff, and every movement was much slower.

However, Odysseus still has an advantage over Coremond, who can't move at all.

He came to Coreymond, took off the cloth bag he had been carrying, and poured the spiritual weapons inside that had never been used onto the ground: "You should know that your brother's job is very dangerous."

As Odysseus spoke, he sprinkled a layer of powder into the cloth bag.

The bag immediately becomes hard and can hold liquids for a short period of time.

Coreymond wanted to speak, but his throat was completely stiff and he could only make "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds like the cry of a zombie.

Odysseus took an axe from his spiritual weapons and used the sharp axe blade to cut the blood vessels in Coremond's neck.

The blood that had not yet completely coagulated immediately flowed out, and Odysseus quickly caught it with a hardened cloth.

"I didn't lie to you about one thing." Odysseus said slowly, "I actually calculated the amount of spiritual materials needed, and found that the materials I have are not enough to complete such a complex magic array.

"So I can only borrow it from you."

He smiled and said, "But considering Celt and your current situation, I don't think you need to pay it back."

After two or three minutes, half a cloth bag of blood had been collected.

Coremond, who was severely transformed into a corpse, also died completely, but the surrounding conditions made it very likely that he would become an evil spirit.

Odysseus didn't care about that. He sprinkled a handful of powder to burn Coreymond's body to prevent it from turning into a zombie.

However, the leaked "breath of death" made the flames on his body turn dark green, making him look like a large ball of ghost fire, which was very strange.

After Coremond's body was almost burned, Odysseus walked towards the corpse wearing the bishop's robe of the Church of the Goddess of Night, carrying the blood. "If I'm not mistaken, once I put my hand into the magic circle, I should be immediately used by the 'King of Hell'."

The corpse said, "Yes."

"Let me first briefly explain my repair plan." Odysseus placed the cloth bag at his feet, rubbed his arms, which had goose bumps from the cold, and said, "First, I will build a secondary formation around you to strengthen the power of the sealing formation. Please be sure to withstand the huge pressure from the tomb for the time being.

"Then I will quickly draw a new magic circle and complete the new seal. Then you will be freed from the secondary formation."

The corpse said, "I heard your conversation with that 'Chaos Hunter'. To be honest, what you just told me sounds like another scam."

Just as Odysseus was about to explain, the corpse said, "But you are sent by the goddess, I believe you."

This made Odysseus sigh: Fortunately, I lied to this guy just now in order to get closer to him.

So Odysseus began to bend over and draw the magic circle. When the secondary formation was completed, the symbols suddenly emitted a faint light, and the "breath of death" around him instantly weakened.

The corpse sighed, "You are indeed an expert in magic circles."

He can now relatively easily prevent the power of the tomb from leaking out.

Odysseus finally felt a little warmer, and his muscles, which had been a little stiff just now, felt much more comfortable.

He said a simple polite word and continued to draw the magic circle under Celt's feet.

That magic circle is indeed part of the sealing magic circle and can play a certain sealing role, but Odysseus left a "back door" so that the "breath of death" can invade Celt unimpeded.

At this time, Odysseus made an addition, blocked the "back door", and then let the magic circle begin to extend towards the direction of the tomb. He stepped into the original magic circle carefully, and suddenly felt that he heard the voice of "King of the Underworld" again.

But you can't hear what the other person is saying, nor will you be affected by Him.

When the outer magic circle was drawn, Odysseus first wrapped the extraordinary characteristics that Celt had extracted with the "Spiritual Wall", and then, as if holding a hot potato, he placed this demigod-level characteristic in the correct position.

After removing the "Spiritual Wall", the Beyonder characteristic slowly floated up on its own. The half-completed magic circle was immediately activated. All the symbols emitted a little light and also floated up along with the Beyonder characteristic.

Odysseus felt that the pressure on his spiritual body was relieved again. Even Bernadette dared to approach him. There was no need to worry about the "Pale Death" breaking free from the seal.

Odysseus stood up and pinched his stiff waist: "I have to find someone to massage it when I get home."

He then said, "There's only one part left. When I'm done with the part on the mausoleum, I need your help to completely suppress the mausoleum's power. Buy me forty seconds."

Bernadette, whose face was no longer so pale, nodded: "No problem."

Theoretically, this mausoleum is of an extremely high level, but the seal in Bernadette's hand has Sequence 1 characteristics, which is a real source of power.

As long as the uniqueness of the "Death God" path is not there, the power within can be completely suppressed.

But Odysseus knew very well that the uniqueness of this path did not lie here.

After a short rest, Odysseus continued to work, completing half of the magic circle and the power of the corpse to protect him while drawing the magic circle and half approaching the simple tomb.

Finally, the most crucial part came. Odysseus raised his hand and sent a signal to Bernadette. Bernadette once again put on the "Pale Death". Under her full suppression and the full resistance of the corpse, the power in the mausoleum dropped to a safe range.

Odysseus drew the magic circle as quickly as possible. At the same time, he heard ethereal roars, screams before death, and the whispers of the undead.

This slowed down his brain's reactions, but not his hands' movements.

He had already memorized this magic circle by heart, and could now draw it using only his subconscious mind.

Finally, the magic circle was drawn, and mysterious symbols floated in the air, forming a faint light shield.

At this time, the demigod-level extraordinary characteristics in the magic circle slowly rotated and emitted a faint light.

The light shield quickly sank and became increasingly solid, finally completely covering the tomb. No more "smell of death" could be felt outside the tomb.

Odysseus sat on the ground and smiled, "It's done!"

The power of the "King of Hell" was completely sealed, blocking his momentum of resurrection.

The corpse said, "My mission has finally come to an end."

He lowered his head and said, "Please give my ashes to the church. My name is Slant Will, and I hope to be buried."

The corpse gradually collapsed, and the will that had supported it for more than two hundred years was rapidly disintegrating. However, the corpse used its last strength to fill the surroundings and the interior of the tomb with the breath of sleep: "You must pass through the interior of the tomb to reach the crack at the back.

“There are the remains of gods in there. Once you enter the tomb, never open your eyes.

"I have just put Salinger's last remaining consciousness to sleep temporarily, and also put the seal of the 'Death God' path in this lady's hand to sleep temporarily, so that it will not establish any connection with Salinger.

"But you still have to get through there as quickly as possible...

"Praise the goddess!"

The body completely collapsed, turning into a pile of remains the size of small pebbles.

Odysseus looked at Bernadette, who had already taken off the "Pale Death", and acted quickly. Odysseus sprinkled a handful of powder on the cloth bag again.

The remaining blood stains inside disappeared immediately. At this time, Bernadette raised her hand slightly, and the ashes floated into the cloth bag by themselves.

At the same time, Bernadette completed the recovery of Slant and Coremond's extraordinary characteristics.

Then the two men looked at the simple grave. It was dark inside and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Odysseus smiled bitterly: "This reminds me of my experience of going to a haunted house a long time ago..."

The environment inside is unknown, and the vision is suddenly lost. This is what is terrifying.

Bernadette also took a deep breath: "Who goes first?"

The fact that she asked such a question showed that she didn't want to be in the front either.

"I'll go first," Odysseus said casually, "Walking in front when exploring a haunted house is the best opportunity for a man to show his courage."

Bernadette smiled slightly and did not refute. Instead, she said, "I will use a spell to make our eyelids grow together so that we won't open them in fear."

Odysseus nodded: "That's a good idea."

The next second, his eyes closed by themselves and he couldn't open them again.

Odysseus groped his way in front, while Bernadette put her hand on his shoulder, and the two entered the tomb.

It was very quiet inside the tomb, so quiet that you could almost hear your own heartbeat!

Odysseus was a little nervous and moved forward step by step by feeling the wall. After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly felt a hole in the wall.

This made Odysseus walk slower and feel it carefully, then he suddenly pulled his hand back, and it was a skull!

From the outside, the tomb looks like neat stone slabs, but inside it is made up of skeletons.

Odysseus swallowed his saliva, and in order not to lose his direction, he had to continue to touch the wall lightly and move forward.

Bernadette noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Odysseus said, "Don't touch the wall."

Bernadette said "Oh" and took a step away from the wall.

Odysseus in front gradually overcame his inner fear and walked faster and faster.

Suddenly he seemed to step on something, and that thing moved. Odysseus opened his eyes reflexively to look, and fortunately his eyelids had grown together.

Odysseus gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, when suddenly he felt a cold touch on his hand!

That's a snake!

A snake inside a skull!
But now these snakes are also asleep, sticking out of the skeleton, just like the skeleton's tongue.

"It's all an illusion." Odysseus whispered to himself to hypnotize himself.

It feels like he might as well fight zombies or some monsters!

Bernadette in the back asked, "What?"

"Everything is an illusion."

Bernadette was about to ask what it meant when she suddenly felt her shoulders sink, as if something had fallen from the top of the tomb.

Bernadette tensed up all over and immediately used her spiritual power to eject the object.

Odysseus suddenly felt Bernadette close to him, and he could even smell the faint fragrance from her.

He sighed again, it would be better if some monster appeared and let him and Bernadette fight against it!

But at this time, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and keep moving forward.

Soon, Odysseus bumped into something. He reached out to touch it and found it was a huge bone, even more than one meter tall.

Putting his hand on the bones, Odysseus first heard snoring, then countless desperate cries, and shrill screams that made his back chill.

This made Odysseus unconsciously recall the most terrifying thing, and his whole body became stiff and he could hardly move.

Fortunately, Bernadette noticed something was wrong in time, and immediately pulled Odysseus back, then hugged the limp Odysseus and jumped over the remains of the gods in front.

After taking a few more steps forward, the feeling of fear gradually disappeared.
