Chapter 17: Deer Bones
A huge noise erupted in the dark church, and a violent explosion suddenly exploded from the bone shield wall. The strong shock wave shattered the bone shield and scattered it, sweeping across the entire space inside the church.
The chairs in the church were overturned and fell to the ground one after another, the items on the altar were blown away, bones and stone chips were flying everywhere like bullets, and the door that had been chopped into pieces was directly broken by the air wave, and the bright moonlight of the church poured in again.
After the explosion, the interior of the church was filled with gray dust. After the dust dissipated for a while, Dorothy and Vanya came out from the secret passage behind the altar.
“Cough cough cough…”
Coughing and patting the dust in front of her eyes with her hands, Vanya stepped out onto the stone-smeared church floor. Then, in the moonlight, she looked at the mess in front of her and sighed in astonishment.
“This, this is…”
"It's the explosives from the mountain that were used to mine. Since they're not used to mine, then it's perfect for dealing with these two 'stones'. They're used to blast rocks anyway."
Behind Vanya, Dorothy, who had taken off her mask, walked out with a cane and a piece of white cloth wrapped around her mouth and nose as a mask.
"Explosion, dynamite... Are you going to use dynamite to fight an extraordinary battle? Miss Dorothea..."
"Yeah, don't you think the effect is pretty good?" Dorothy waved her arm and said with a smile as she looked at the messy church in front of her. After seeing the scene in front of her, Vanya, a clergyman, felt a little guilty.
"Miss Dorothea, if we blow up the Glowing Church like this, it won't displease the saints, right..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Aren't we here to deal with the extremely evil Extraordinary People? The Saints will surely understand when they know about this. Don't worry too much." Dorothy waved her hand and said to Vanya, but after hearing that, she still decided not to worry. She came to the altar, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently in her heart.
"Lord... Please forgive us for destroying the altar... We are waiting for this because..."
Listening to the nun's prayers beside her, Dorothy pursed her lips, shook her head, ignored it, and walked towards the center of the explosion in the church.
The ground there had been blown to pieces, and not far from the center of the explosion there lay a figure covered in ash, blood and flesh, with one arm blown off. This was one of the two black-level figures from before. Dorothy tested it with the Corpse Puppet Ring and confirmed that he was dead.
'Heh... the effect is okay. Even though I only used half the amount, I still couldn't withstand it. Although I'm not a Beyonder, I'm still a mortal after all. Even with hardened skin, I still can't resist such a close-range explosion.'
Looking at the broken body lying on the ground, Dorothy thought that the purpose of luring them into the church was to use a bomb to blow up their defenses.
Although explosives can shatter the bone maker's hardened skin, if the equivalent is not large enough, it must be detonated close to the enemy. Therefore, the difficulty lies in how to deliver the bomb to the enemy. For this, Dorothy must first let the zombie doll rush over with the bomb, but this thing will be intercepted by their bone-breaking device halfway and it will be gone. If the bomb explodes outside the bone shield wall, the damage caused will be extremely limited.
Dorothy's corpse birds are still small birds, and their carrying capacity is far inferior to that of birds of prey such as eagles. They cannot carry heavy objects to fly, so they cannot use birds to carry bombs to carry out air strikes.
Therefore, if Dorothy wanted to successfully deliver the bomb into the enemy's shield wall, she needed a more clever method, and this church was where she accomplished this method.
Use yourself as bait to attract the enemy, close the space of the church and turn off the lights to create a dark environment, block the enemy's sight so that they can't see where the zombies are attacking from. Then the zombies that are carrying out the bombing operation use the Silence Seal to eliminate the noise, break through the opponent's vibration perception and approach to throw the bomb, unknowingly throwing the explosives into the opponent's defense.
To be on the safe side, Dorothy only used half of the explosives as Plan A this time, and kept the other half. If it failed, she would have another chance to try other plans.
However, looking at the current situation, there is no time to try it for the second time.
"But... why is there only one body here? They still have one person?"
Looking at the situation in front of her, Dorothy thought puzzledly, then she glanced around and finally found a lying figure not far away.
This figure was also lying on the ground, some distance away from the center of the explosion, with his limbs intact. Apart from being covered in dust, he seemed to have no obvious external injuries. A large piece of bone shield fragment covered his body.
Seeing that figure, Dorothy used the corpse puppet ring to test it and found that she could not control it, which meant that the other party still had signs of life.
"You're not dead!? You're lying there, are you trying to pretend to be dead to trick me?"
Seeing this scene, Dorothy thought so in her heart, and then she immediately controlled a corpse that was barely able to move not far away and staggered over to check the condition of the guy lying on the ground.
After a careful examination, Dorothy found that the man seemed to have fainted. His body was covered with tiny cracks like stone cracks, but there were no obvious major injuries. He must have been knocked unconscious by the bomb.
'This guy seems to be the one controlling the bone knife. It seems that he was listening to the ground before. Did he feel the vibration of the bomb falling to the ground and realized that something was wrong, so he ran away quickly? It seems that the bomb exploded after he ran out of the shield wall. The shield wall absorbed a wave of impact for him, and he was tough so he didn't die, but he was still knocked unconscious.'
Dorothy analyzed this in her mind as she carefully examined the man at the bottom of the bed. Just as she was thinking of finishing him off with one more stab, another idea came to her mind.
"Perhaps... this guy can play a different role..."
Thinking of this, Dorothy immediately controlled the corpse to find a rope and tied up the living guy. Then she threw him into the passage behind the altar and locked him up, keeping him away from all bone products.
After dealing with all this, Dorothy glanced around, and then ignored Vanya who was still sincerely confessing in front of the broken altar, and slowly walked out of the church, looking at the quiet campus ahead.
"I don't know...how is the old man doing now?"
Just as Dorothy was thinking this, the ground suddenly shook from a distance, as if there was an earthquake, shaking the broken stones in the church. Vanya, who was confessing, was also startled, thinking it was a punishment from God.
"This is……"
Amid the shaking, Dorothy steadied herself and looked forward. Then she saw a huge crack appeared in the wide open space in front of her due to the earthquake, and then a huge body struggled out from the crack.
That, Hero is a huge bone monster nearly ten meters tall, it has a huge skull like a stag's skull, and the two antlers on the skull spread out like branches. Under the entire stag skull is a skeleton of a human with hands, feet and torso, but these bones are not a complete piece like the skull, but are made up of tons of ordinary-sized human bones and skulls, which is extremely horrifying.
The complete skull of a giant deer, plus tons of hemp, is a torso made up of at least tens of thousands of ordinary human bones. These are the basic characteristics of this monster. The moment Dorothy saw this monster, she felt a confusion and pain in her head, her thinking became dull, and at the same time, an unbearable strong sense of sadness arose in her heart, so she couldn't help but cover her head.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in her heart.
'The monitoring team witnessed a divine creature, some remains of the Ancient Dark Deer. Some relevant information has been collected. Please avoid mental damage caused by the information.'
Just when Dorothy felt that something was wrong, the huge deer skull monster let out a long roar, then soared into the air and flew away quickly. But before it flew far, three huge rock spears suddenly rushed out from the ground and pierced it in the air, causing the bone monster to let out a wail.
Then, a gigantic knight in plate armor, about ten meters tall and made of rock, stepped out from the crack in the ground, holding a giant rock sword and majestically slashing at the bone-stitched monster that was pierced to death by the rock spear, completely breaking it into pieces. The broken bones exploded in all directions, ordinary human bones fell down one after another, and the huge antler skull disappeared into the night sky after a distortion in space.
