Chapter 23 Ancient Tomb Corpse Demon
Having dealt with the corpse demon, Du Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
But it also made him more vigilant. The commotion just now was so loud that it might have awakened the other corpse demons in the ancient tomb.
We must act swiftly and decisively.
He quickly continued walking forward based on the information Tom had given him, constantly paying attention to the tombstones he passed.
The inscription on the tombstone had been corroded and was illegible, and Dui's mission was to find the tomb of a prince.
That was the last prince of the Kingdom of Kadolan, who died in the battle to defend the city against the Witch King of Angmar and was buried in Ancient Mound. Tom said that there was a sharp knife that Dui was looking for in his tomb.
However, before Dui could find the prince's tomb, the system reacted first.
[Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Ancient Tomb Hill, check-in required?]
"Check-in!"
[Sign-in successful! Congratulations on receiving the dark magic book "Curses and Anti-Curses"!]
A book with a grotesque, pained face painted on its cover appeared out of thin air.
A book of black magic? Dui was also taken aback; he hadn't expected to receive this from the sign-in.
However, he couldn't bother to look through the black magic book now, because the surrounding fog suddenly became very thick, and there was also the sound of something breaking out of the ground.
Clearly, there are corpse demons emerging, and more than one.
Uneasy, Dui added a dozen more layers of protection to himself, then gripped his wand tightly, ready to defend against the corpse demons that might rush out of the mist. At the same time, the corpse demon's greatsword hovered beside him, ready to fly out and pierce through the enemy at any moment.
The next moment, the mist surged, a gust of wind swept in, and a corpse demon attacked first.
As expected, he was bounced back by the magical barrier, and before he even landed, he was hit by Dui's petrification spell.
Before Dui could finish casting another spell, three more corpse demons burst out of the mist, each wielding a cursed and ominous greatsword.
The corpse demon was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Dui in the blink of an eye. It cleaved through a magical barrier with a single sword strike and attempted to continue its attack.
"Petrify them all! Petrify them all! Petrify them all!" Dui reacted quickly, unleashing several spells in quick succession.
But this time the corpse demons were clearly smarter. Apart from one being struck and petrified, the other two corpse demons knew how to dodge and quickly avoided the curse.
However, before the two corpse demons could feel smug, the greatsword controlled by Dui turned into a blur and instantly pierced through the body of one of the corpse demons.
The corpse demon paused, and the next second it was struck by Dui's curse, and its greatsword was disarmed.
The remaining corpse demon failed to escape. The greatsword that had been disarmed became Dui's most powerful weapon. Surrounded by flying swords from three sides, it was instantly impaled by the three greatswords and eventually joined the ranks of the other corpse demons.
After dealing with the last corpse demon, Dui quickly cast several petrification spells on it and the other corpse demons to prevent them from breaking free again.
Then, just like when dealing with the first corpse demon, he used its own sword against it, continuously cutting down the corpse demon's health bar with the corpse demon greatsword. Finally, accompanied by several wisps of black energy shooting straight into the sky, the corpse demons collapsed powerlessly and quickly turned into a pile of white bones.
Dui put away several greatswords from the corpse demons, originally intending to speed up the process, but stopped when he saw some jewelry and burial items on the corpse demons. He then wrapped all the jewelry and burial items in old clothes.
I didn't touch them with my hands at all, because these jewels, like the greatsword, were cursed.
After putting away the jewelry, Dui continued walking without stopping until he came to a tall tomb made of white marble, where he finally stopped.
"This should be it!" Dui looked at the map Tom had given him, which marked the location of a white marble tomb.
The inscriptions on the tombstone have been eroded by time and are no longer legible, but the imposing size of the tomb still indicates the noble status of its occupant.
The entrance to the tomb was broken and blocked by many rubble. It took Dui a lot of effort to move the rubble away, revealing the dark and deep entrance to the cave.
"Sigh, I never thought I'd be a tomb raider one day!" Dui sighed, then resolutely crawled into the tomb.
The tomb passage was spacious enough for a person to walk upright. Dui waved his wand, and a ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand, flying in front of Dui and illuminating the entire tomb passage.
Meanwhile, four ancient corpse demon swords surrounded Dui, ready to strike any corpse demon that charged out at any moment.
The tomb passage was long and winding, and it took Dui quite a while to finally reach the burial chamber.
The tomb chamber was very empty, with nothing except a stone coffin placed in the very center.
What surprised Dui was that he had not encountered any attacks from the corpse demons since entering the tomb.
This unusual situation did not make Dui relax; instead, he became even more vigilant.
He looked at the stone coffin.
Since no corpse demon was encountered in the tomb, the only possible hiding place is inside this stone coffin.
"Yugadimurleviosa!"
The stone coffin lid moved slowly, giving the thing inside no chance to jump out. Dui immediately cast several petrification spells into the gaps in the stone coffin to make sure the thing inside couldn't move before he completely moved the stone coffin lid off.
Illuminated by the glowing spell, the corpse demon lying in the coffin revealed its face. Its face was hideous and ugly, its dry and decaying skin clung tightly to its skull, and its pair of cold, bloodthirsty black eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
If Dui hadn't used a petrification spell to immobilize him beforehand, he probably would have rushed out of the stone coffin and injured people the moment it was opened.
Moreover, this corpse demon's attire was different from the corpse demons seen before. It wore a silver crown inlaid with gemstones on its head, and was adorned with many precious jewelry accessories. A cold, large sword was placed on its chest.
"Alas, even in death, there is no peace. What a pitiful creature!" Dui felt sorry for the corpse demon in the coffin.
As far as he knew, this ghoul should be the last prince of the Kingdom of Kaldoran, who was killed in the battle to defend the city against the Witch King of Angmar, and whose corpse was turned into a ghoul by the Witch King of Angmar. How tragic!
"Fine, I'm a good person, so I'll free you from this!" Dui said, then first removed his greatsword, and then manipulated the five Corpse Demon Ancient Swords to give him a full set of "ten thousand swords piercing his heart" service.
But just as Dui was about to finish off the Corpse Demon, a surge of dark power erupted from the Corpse Demon, instantly breaking free from the curse's restraints.
The corpse demon's eyes turned bloodshot, burning like hellfire, emanating an evil, negative power that plunged people into fear, despair, coma, and even death.
The corpse demon's furious eyes were fixed on Dui, and a dry, hoarse, chilling voice came from its throat: "Who are you? How dare you kill the Great Witch King's servant!"
Under the shadow of darkness, Dui felt suffocated, and a strong negative emotion surged into his heart. He was involuntarily surrounded by fear and despair, and the ancient corpse demon swords he controlled were about to fall.
Dui bit his tongue hard, the intense pain temporarily freeing him from this negative emotion. Then, he waved his wand to the rhythm of the music, and golden notes sprang from the tip of the wand, creating a cheerful melody that echoed throughout the tomb.
The joyful emotions brought by the music magic instantly suppressed the negative power emanating from the corpse demon.
Taking advantage of the corpse demon's momentary daze, Dui unleashed his full power once more, "Petrify them all!" A dazzling white light struck the corpse demon, petrifying it once more.
Before the opponent could break free, the five ancient corpse demon swords delivered the final blow, piercing straight through the corpse demon's head.
A flicker of resentment flashed in the corpse demon's red eyes, then vanished completely, leaving only a chilling voice echoing in the tomb: "I'll remember you, wizard..."
The black energy within the corpse demon dissipated, and its body instantly decayed into a pile of white bones.
