Chapter 1 First Coming
"Tsk tsk tsk... It's a good soul, it's true that the tender soul is the most delicious."
Lead-colored dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the world seemed to merge together, and it was dark, and the storm was about to come. In the dim woods, dozens of corpses were lying everywhere, with their faces still showing a terrifying expression.
A man in a black cloak was standing next to him. His dim eyes were staring ahead with a hint of green light. His flat arms were pinching an eleven or two-year-old boy with a warm body, which showed that he had just lost his life. His blood-filled eyes and ferocious expressions were indicating how much pain he had experienced before his death.
"This should be the last member of the Hurst family. Hehe, I really don't know how to live or die. Such things are also something you ants can own." The man said to himself.
"But strange, where did that thing go? There is no clue in the boy's memory. I'm afraid that only his father knows it. Damn it, no wonder he was so determined when he stopped it just now, and he actually exploded his soul. Humph, in the end, he still couldn't escape. It's better to hand it over and suffer less."
"This is the hope of opening the soul core. With it, as long as you can awaken the soul core, plus the necromancer spells and soul seals, my immortal legion will become stronger and transform into thousands of souls. Who else can kill me then? No, I have to look for it again, I don't believe I can't find it. This child's health is pretty good, it seems that he can be cultivated into a good corpse witch." The man looked at the little boy and said a little unwillingly.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar, which came quickly from far to near. The man turned his head and narrowed his eyes through the dense forest, and then a wave spread out, "Twelve people, ten first-level warriors, one second-level and one third-level. Well, this unstable aura should have just been promoted. Tsk tsk, it's still two young children, pure souls, then I'll take it away without hesitation." The man licked the corner of his mouth, handed the little boy's body to his left hand and pointed his right hand to draw a rune in the air.
On the horse riding horse in the distance, a woman dressed in a guard turned her head opposite the other side. Another girl in front of her smiled and said, "Miss, this experience has gained a lot. The city lord will definitely be very satisfied if he knows it."
Wherever she looked, a fourteen-five-year-old girl was riding on the horse's back with her body slightly leaning. Her delicate silver-white soft armor wrapped her first charming body. Her long brown hair fluttered in the wind. A few strands of hair on her forehead slightly covered a pair of glazed sky blue pupils. It was pure and clear, and her two cherry lips under her delicate and straight nose were slightly opened: "Well, I've finally advanced to the third level. As long as I stabilize it, I polished my combat skills, then... um?"
At this moment, the girl seemed to feel something and turned to look deep in the woods. "Someone is using spells to detect this side. Is it a necromancer? Or a third-level." Xiumei raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that she was coming for us. Everyone scattered and surrounded, and the direction of the woods on the left side, follow me to attack!"
"yes!"
Eleven soldiers, including the female guard, drew out the sword hanging from the side of the horse, pulled the reins and spread them out in an orderly manner. It can be seen that this was a well-trained guard team. The girl pulled out a standard silver-white spear on the side of the horse, raised her hand and raised her high positions as high as the horse's head, slapped her body slightly, kicked her belly with her feet. The war horse's neighing sounded and instantly increased its speed, rushing towards the mage like an arrow from a string.
"Huh? What a keen mental perception." The man's eyes hidden under the cloak narrowed slightly, frowned slightly, and then snorted coldly, "Hmph, let these fresh pets come and play with you." As the man's gesture ended, the dark black runes floating in the air in front of him emitted a shimmer of light, and then divided into ten strands of corpses shot on the ground.
As the black light entered the body, more than a dozen corpses trembled slightly, then stood up slowly, their open eyes emitted a bleeding light, and roared in a low voice, then greeted the galloping horse. Then the man took the boy's body and stepped back, and his right hand began to draw runes in the air again.
The girl looked at the three corpse dolls rushing towards her not only did not slow down, but instead took a step faster, and the distance between the two sides was instantly closer.
The spear in his hand quickly stabs forward, piercing a corpse puppet before it was caught. He clasped the gun rod with both hands and pulled it horizontally and smashed it to the two corpse puppets near the other side, quickly pulled it back and retracted it to the side of the horse. His movements were smooth and smooth as if he had not been blocked at all, and continued to advance towards the mage. The other soldiers were temporarily entangled with the corpse puppet.
In this short time gap, the mage's next spell was also improved. As the black rune merged into the ground, the grass in front of the war horse turned into darkness, and a ghost claw that could only be quantified reached out from it and grabbed the horse's hooves. "Ghost Claws of the Netherworld." Then, with a wave of his hand, the corpse doll that was knocked down by the girl stood up and rushed towards the girl.
Seeing that the ghost claw was about to catch the horse's hooves, the faint golden light flashed in his eyes and murmured, "Flame of Holy Light!" He saw a faint golden flame burning around his body, extending to cover the horse, like a small sun. When the ghost claw touched the golden light, it melted like ice and snow encountered the sun. The mage's face changed, "Paladin, burst for me!"
The body of the approaching corpse doll quickly bulged, and as the mage held it in a weak position with his right hand, it instantly swelled like a ball that had blown.
"boom!"
The explosion shock wave mixed with fragments of the corpse shot towards the girl. The girl clenched her silver teeth, handed the reins to her right hand, then stretched forward in the direction of the corpse puppet, and shouted in a low voice, "Shield of Holy Light!"
A beam of golden light extended from the palm of his hand and spread forward to form a light shield, protecting the girl and the horse, and then collided with the explosion. The girl's face turned pale and her body was close to the horse's back to prevent being thrown under the horse. The war horse was also tilted by the explosion, staggering and retreating continuously, marking gullies of varying degrees on the ground.
At the same time, the mage drew runes again, and this time it became relatively urgent, and his mind was also quicker, "I didn't expect it to be a paladin. It seems that he had just been promoted to the third level. He is so young and damn. It's not far from the town and cannot be solved in a short time. If it attracts the lackeys of the church, it will be troublesome. You can't stay for a long time! Anyway, the mission has been completed, so it's better not to create any trouble."
The thought changed, and the runes fell down. A black road extending backward suddenly appeared on the ground. The mage penetrated into it and immediately retreated quickly like a vague ghost. It seemed that the speed was much faster than the ordinary person running with all his strength. At this time, the airflow of the shock wave also dissipated with the breaking of the shield. The girl stabilized her body. Seeing the mage retreating, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and said with a sweet voice, "Want to run? Stay for me!"
The girl pulled the reins and was about to rush out, but she saw the horse's legs weak and she knelt on the ground. She obviously felt a heavy shock in the shock wave just now. Seeing this, the girl jumped forward and jumped off the horse, stroked the gun with her left hand in the air, "Punishment Holy Seal." Then she saw a layer of faint golden light covering the gun, and vaguely saw tiny textures outlined on it, adding a lot of style to the spear. At the same time, the right hand tightly turned into a throwing state, landing lightly, stepped forward half-rotating, and leaned back slightly, raised the spear with her right hand flat with her eyebrows, and led backwards, then threw it forward like a rebounding bow, and rushed towards the mage with the momentum.
The spear roared like a sharp arrow and approached the mage in an instant. The mage did not expect that the girl actually threw the spear over. Just as she was about to avoid it, she found that it was too late. She slapped her body and a white bone shield appeared behind her. At the critical moment, she turned around and stretched her right hand forward to breeze, constantly injecting source power. The shield and the light power attached to the spear melted each other. Finally, the spear that had consumed its power fell to the ground. Although it blocked the spear, it was delayed for a lot of time, which was enough to make the girl quickly approach the mage.
The mage snorted coldly, and continued to retreat while the shadow road on the ground had not disappeared, and ran and said, "Little guy, don't think I'm afraid of you. I'm so impatient. This is your grave!"
"Hmph, if you have the ability, stand and don't move." The girl frowned slightly, "The mage wanted to raid us at first, but now she seems to have some concerns to withdraw."
The girl's light glanced to the back and found that the guard had gradually stabilized in the initial rush with the corpse doll. It would not take long to pull out his hands to help, "I have to wrap him around, and I can keep him after I can surrounded him later." Thinking in my mind, I pulled out the thin sword from my waist and attached it with the punishment seal again, turning into a bright light and stabbing at the mage.
The mage saw the girl approaching again, holding one by one with his right hand, and a ball of black energy ball appeared in his hand. Then he threw it into the air, and his fingers quickly drew the runes. The energy ball differentiated into three bone-eating arrows and shot towards the girl.
The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and the thin sword that stabbed forward withdrew the bone-eating arrow that was blocking her chest and slashing towards her body. Her body swung, and her mind slightly avoided the remaining two arrows at a dexterous angle and chased the mage again, but her speed was not blocked and slowed down much.
The arrows shot several times were avoided by the girl in the same way. Although they were not pulled close for many distances, they were never stretched out. The mage saw that the road to the deceased was about to disappear but the distance was not opened. He slowed down the speed with the corpse in his left hand, and it was inconvenient to cast spells. He looked at the boy's corpse in his left hand and screamed, but it was a pity that he injected magic power and threw it towards the girl. Then he quickly took out a black staff from his waist, and a dark purple gem was inlaid in the depression on the winding top. As the mage's magic power was injected into brighter and brighter, a blurred purple light was emitted.
The corpse drew an arc in the air and flew towards the girl. As the girl rushed forward, she quickly narrowed the distance, and then she heard a soft shout from the mage: "Explode!"
The girl's face changed. She had just experienced the power of the corpse's self-destruction, and turned sharply to the side. At the same time, the Holy Light Shield appeared in front again. The corpse hit the shield, and the energy of the interweaving light and darkness quickly disappeared. The corpse swelled slightly but returned to its original state. As the girl turned sideways and removed her strength, she fell backwards, and then there was no explosion she thought of.
The face turned dark, and the girl wanted to be fooled, so she turned to look at the mage, but found that there was also a shocked expression on the mage's face. The girl was stunned, then immediately reacted and rushed towards the mage again.
"What's going on? My spell failed?" I found that the corpse did not have the effect it should have. The mage was also lost in his mind. Seeing the girl rushing towards him again, there was no time to think about it, three bone-eating arrows appeared again and flew towards the girl with three bone-eating arrows in front of the staff.
The mage who obviously freed up his hand, coupled with the amplification and casting acceleration of the staff, the power and speed of the bone-eating arrows shot were much greater than before. The girl had just blocked the first batch of bone-eating arrows, and the second batch arrived later, forcing the girl to deal with it seriously. Although the shield was still summoned to block the shield, the speed was still slowed down.
Just after the spell-casting buffer, the mage released the path of the dead again, casting the spell while retreating. Although the girl was still chasing her relentlessly, the distance between the two was always widening, and they fought and walked away gradually.
The wind gradually became stronger, and dazzling lightning flashed through the thick clouds, cutting through the dark sky. Thunder roared, and with the fall of the first drop of rain, the sky seemed to crack countless holes, and the rainstorm poured down, and the whole world was in the rain curtain.
The boy's body was lying quietly on the ground. If the two were still present at this moment, they could find an abnormality. A black fruit floated in the boy's stomach. The dark hedging just now made the dead-like fruit seem to have been impacted and undergo a wonderful change. The mage was puzzled and confused. The source power injected into the corpse had been absorbed by the fruit. The mysterious and abnormal patterns on the sphere emitted a faint light, and then cracked.
A powerful soul power spread out from it. The boy's corpse instantly stretched out like a ball, and the overflowing soul power filled the surroundings of the corpse. If someone looked at it at this moment, he would find that the space was twisting and fluctuating, and tiny space cracks appeared around the corpse. The pouring rain fell nearby, either bounced open or swallowed by the space cracks.
Seeing that the corpse could no longer bear it and was about to explode, a faint soul seemed to be attracted to fly out of a crack in a certain space and shot towards the corpse. The dissipated soul power suddenly recovered and rushed into the soul as if it had found a destination.
The weak soul recovered rapidly under the infusion of a large amount of soul power. Then the excess soul power caused the soul to continue to grow and twist and deform. It was almost impossible to withstand such a huge force and to break up. The origin deep in the soul seemed to feel danger. The lines were outlined according to the professional instinct in memory. The soul power was as if it had found a catharsis point to be consumed continuously along the guidance of the lines.
It seemed like after a long time, it seemed that after a moment, although the soul was always on the verge of collapse, it ended up with it. Finally, a round sphere was formed in the center of the soul. The surface of the sphere was covered with patterns, and a strange array pattern could be vaguely seen in the center. All soul power was injected into the sphere like a river of rivers. The oscillating soul power fluctuations gradually dissipated, and the corpse also retracted to its original size.
"pain!"
The pain of the knife passing through the body seemed to remain in my mind. This was the first feeling when Mu Yun woke up. Then he felt the pain in his mind as if there were countless needles pricking. He couldn't help but moan in a low voice. He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as two mountains. His fingers trembled slightly and wanted to get up, but he found that his limbs were as if they were dispersed and disobeyed.
"What's going on? Are you going to die?" As consciousness gradually became clear, Mu Yun's thinking ability was also returning. He felt the heavy rain and the raging wind eroding his body. The big bean raindrops hit his face and couldn't help but think, "Aren't I indoors? Why is it raining?"
He pulled the corner of his mouth, "I'm afraid that someone had already been thrown into the wilderness and threw the body away. It's really unlucky. It happened to such a thing." After a while, feeling that his body had recovered a little strength, Mu Yun continued to ponder, "No, I can't die here. I have to find a way to stand up and see if there are any kind-hearted people nearby who can take me to the hospital. It seems that I still have some help."
Mu Yun opened his mouth, "Help...Help...Is anyone?" A weak voice was almost unheard in this ****. The rain mixed with strong winds poured into his mouth, and it could not stop Mu Yun's desire for survival.
Tak, Tak.
Accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, a sensation of footsteps gradually became louder and closer, and only a woman's voice was heard, "Miss, are you okay?"
Another crisp and pleasant voice said, "It's okay, this mage has a lot of ability to escape, so he ran away."
"This sound is really nice." Although I couldn't move all over, Mu Yun couldn't help thinking, and the sound of shouting for help in his mouth became quick. "Someone is here, I hope he is a kind-hearted person, so that I can be saved. Why can't I understand what they are saying?"
"I'm sorry, Miss, we have been delaying for too long."
"It's okay, after all, he is a third-level mage. Although he is just a temporary undead creature, it's not easy for you to deal with. I have just been promoted to the third level and have not mastered many martial arts. It's a pity. The rain is too heavy, so let's go back to the city as soon as possible. There are these corpses, and I'll be buried when the rain stops."
"yes!"
Then the girl turned around and walked towards the horse, subconsciously holding her eyes at the boy's body not far away, and paused.
"Um?"
The girl calmed down in confusion, as if she heard a different sound in the rainstorm. She turned her body and walked towards the corpse and found that the corpse's chest was slightly up and down, her lips were opening and closing, and something was sobbing in her mouth. The girl's eyes widened, and then she seemed to think of something, "It turns out that she is not dead, no wonder the mage's self-destruction failed."
Looking at the boy's slightly pale face, he spoke, "This man is not dead. Take him back. Maybe you can know why the necromancer attacked them."
"yes!"
Hearing the girl approaching, Mu Yun was so excited that he heard the sound of nature, "It's time to be saved."
The thought changed, and with the strength that had just recovered from his body, Mu Yun tried hard to slowly open his drooping eyelids. What caught his eye was a pair of clear and moving eyes that could not be covered by the pouring rain. At that moment, Mu Yun and the girl looked at each other.
