Chapter 229: Baiyuan Crisis (5)

Gravekeeper! Real name unknown.

Even in the game, the only thing introduced about the gravekeeper is that he has been responsible for guarding the royal mausoleum since the birth of the Twilight Dynasty.

Ron felt annoyed.

Damn, should have thought of that earlier.

Being in charge of guarding the royal mausoleum since the birth of the Twilight Dynasty? That's more than ten thousand years. If he was just an ordinary gravekeeper, how could his life span be so long?

"Bai Yuan, come back."

Ron's voice echoed in the mausoleum. If the gravekeeper was really a puppet of fate, then this guy was countless times more dangerous than Ron had expected.

If Bai Yuan alone rushed forward at this moment, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

There is no such thing as a simple character who can be chosen by fate, let alone an old monster that has survived for tens of thousands of years.

Don't think that the gravekeeper and the gravedigger are now confronting each other. It seems that they are fighting tit-for-tat and evenly matched.

However, one could tell from the expressions on the gravekeeper and gravedigger's faces that gravedigger Bridges had a solemn look on his face, his lips moved rapidly, he cast one magic spell after another, and beads of sweat appeared on his wrinkled forehead.

Looking at the gravekeeper on the opposite side, although he looked haggard, as if he was about to step into the coffin at any time, and his movements were like a rusty machine, extremely sluggish, but it was those slow movements that blocked the gravedigger's attacks time and time again, and the magic shield on the surface of his body did not show any signs of damage from beginning to end.

This old guy… he’s just playing.

That's right, the powerful gravedigger Bridges is nothing more than a toy in the eyes of the gravekeeper! This old thing just hasn't moved his body for thousands of years, so he just moved around a little.

Ron felt a chill in his heart when he thought about how he had even wanted to bring Ifrit, Agnes and others to kill the gravekeeper and take away the treasures and forbidden spells buried in these coffins.

Fortunately, I didn’t come, otherwise I would have died without knowing how I died.

Although Ron tried to call Bai Yuan back, it was too late.

Bai Yuan's figure had appeared silently behind Bridges.

The Twilight Temple has its own rules. There are no moral or legal constraints here. Fighting for treasures is common. It is normal for the orcs brought by Bai Yuan to die in the Twilight Temple, but this does not mean that Bai Yuan will let the murderer who killed his companions go.

Bai Yuan is a magician, but she is different from ordinary magicians. She is a melee assassin type of magician.

Magic power surged along his right arm, and the fingertips of the five fingers of his right hand emitted a hissing sound. Sharp cold rays were faintly visible on the nails, like sharp blades. The temperature dropped rapidly in an instant, and for a moment, a large area around was almost completely frozen.

The air was filled with tiny pieces of ice flowers scattered around.

Bridges, who was fighting with the gravekeeper, of course sensed the movement behind him. He was horrified and tried to dodge, but small fireballs came from the front, densely covering a large area in front of him.

The monster opposite seemed to be cooperating completely with the enemy that suddenly appeared behind him, and the fireballs directly blocked all his escape routes.

Just from the azure flames, Bridges could feel how exaggerated the temperature of the fireball was. He had never thought that an ordinary fireball magic could have such terrifying power.

With fear in his heart, he could only desperately mobilize the magic power in his body, trying to use the magic shield to withstand the fireball coming towards him.

boom……

With bursts of violent roars, Bridges' body trembled violently, his magic power was disordered, his heart and liver were injured, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and he was seriously injured.

The shield in front of him was covered with dense cracks like glass and could break at any time. It was not until this time that Bridges realized that the old man guarding the tomb opposite him had never shown his true strength from beginning to end.

It was just a small chain of fireballs, a low-level magic, but it actually exploded with more destructive power than a secondary forbidden spell. How exaggerated would the real high-level magic be in the hands of this old man? However, Bridges no longer had time to think about these questions. At this moment, Bai Yuan's right hand behind him also stretched out at the same time.

Bai Yuan's strength was originally similar to Bridges', but now after a series of adventures, Bai Yuan's strength has greatly increased, reaching the legendary eight-star level, which is much stronger than Bridges.

Coupled with the gravekeeper's magic, the shield was already shaky, and at this moment it was unable to withstand Bai Yuan's attack.

With just a hissing sound, the sharp edge of the finger instantly tore through the magic shield.

The next moment, it pierced Bridges' back with a "puff".

There were three holes pierced directly above the heart.

That’s not all. After the sharp blade formed by magic power pierced through Bridges’ heart, a bone-chilling chill was instantly released. With Bridges’ heart as the center, it spread throughout Bridges’ entire body in a short period of time.

The entire surface of the body has been covered by a layer of white frost, as if it has turned into an ice sculpture.

Immediately afterwards, there was a bang, and Bai Yuan clenched his left hand and hit Bridges with his fist.

Click.

The whole body shattered, and the ground was covered with a layer of stiff corpse parts.

Huh! After killing the gravedigger, Bai Yuan did not linger for too long. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the hunchbacked gravekeeper opposite him, frowning.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She didn't seem to understand why the old man had helped her just now. Although it looked like he had just cast a random spell like before, the position of each fireball in the chain of fireballs was very particular. In front of Bridges, on the left, on the right, all the places where he could move were completely blocked, leaving Bridges with no way to escape.

Moreover, if the old man had not used magic to seriously injure Bridges, even his shield would have been broken. Even if Bai Yuan was much stronger than Bridges, it would have been extremely difficult for him to kill Bridges in an instant.

This old man has been hiding his strength.

Bai Yuan was so smart that he thought of this almost instantly. His body immediately tensed up and his waist was slightly bent, obviously ready for battle.

However, the gravekeeper on the opposite side did not seem to have any intention of taking action for the moment. There was only a smile on his wrinkled face... He might have thought that his smile was quite kind, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, it looked eerie and terrifying.

The pair of cloudy old eyes looked Bai Yuan up and down. Wherever his gaze swept across, Bai Yuan felt creepy and goose bumps appeared on his skin.

After a long time, the gravekeeper's eyes softened a little, no longer as sharp as before. He nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with Bai Yuan, and then opened his mouth: "Little kid, you are very good, are you interested in inheriting my legacy?"

Huh? Bai Yuan was stunned. She didn't expect that the old man would say such a thing after looking at her for such a long time. Inherit his legacy? Did he want her to stay in the imperial mausoleum like him, with hundreds of coffins as her companions? Was she crazy? "Sorry, I really don't have this interest."

"Really? That's a pity." The gravekeeper sighed with regret: "Since you don't want to, then go and die..."

His voice was casual, but what he said was creepy.

All the hairs on Bai Yuan's body stood up in an instant.

The next moment, the gravekeeper snapped his fingers and a wind blade flew towards Bai Yuan with a swish.

The wind blade was like a crescent moon.

Wind Blade, a low-level magic.

But this wind blade was completely different from what Bai Yuan knew. Even though Bai Yuan's body was tense and he was ready to fight at all times, he had no chance to react at all.

I only felt a flash of light before my eyes, and the next moment, the wind blade was already in front of Bai Yuan.

Chapter 5 is here.
