Chapter 746 Frost and Thunder
Did the "apprentices" of the Tamara family come to Calderon and leave these traces?
This was Angel's first reaction, but she quickly refuted this possibility in her mind. If a certain Tamara wanted to leave a trace of "visiting here", she would definitely choose some kind of writing that was still circulating in the Fourth Epoch, rather than the hieroglyphics that had been lost.
And she thought of another possibility:
It was not that the Tamara family left behind the symbol, but that this symbol eventually evolved into the family emblem of the Tamara family representing the "apprenticeship" path!
At this moment, Angel felt a slight spiritual throbbing.
Enemy attack? No, the warning from her spiritual sense wasn't that strong, merely a sense of gradually deepening danger, yet not yet completely despairing... She immediately left the building and floated in mid-air, scanning her surroundings for possible enemies. She performed a simple divination and discovered that the "change" came from herself.
The originally round face and seductive red lips of the "witch" spirit she transformed into had turned a little pale, her purple eyes had lost their luster, and she was surrounded by yin energy. Paired with a black skirt that reached her ankles, she looked like a legendary female ghost.
This... I have become half-undead without realizing it?
Angel felt a little creepy, she knew that this kind of situation would occur in certain special areas where the underworld overlapped with reality, where creatures would die without warning and then turn into undead creatures, and their souls would be bound to the place and become evil spirits until they were purified.
The kingdom of the "God of Death" also has similar power. It does not make people die suddenly, but gradually transforms living creatures or ordinary spirits into undead?
Angel speculated and continued to float up until he returned to the same altitude as Klein, and confirmed his judgment from the obviously slowed "undead" process.
The danger in the core area should come largely from this power. If I rush into the black fog rashly, I will probably become an undead in a few seconds. I just don’t know if my body in the real world will also be transformed into a zombie... She thought with some fear, and at the same time guessed the fate of the "natives" of Calderon City.
Under the transformation of the remaining power of the "God of Death", it won't be long before they all become real undead, no longer retaining the habits of the living, and naturally there is no need to live in buildings.
Perhaps in the end, they were all attracted by the aura of death in the core area of the city and returned to the arms of the "Goddess of Death" Graycarrie... Angel secretly criticized this ancient god who did not forget to "leave" with his believers and the kingdom of God when he fell.
After changing his goal from finding the city's native residents to finding the dead and ghosts, Angel soon made new discoveries. In the shadows of various buildings, in light-proof basements, and even below the ground, these undead creatures, which either have physical forms or have become souls, are hiding quietly.
Are they hiding from invaders?
Angel guessed.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not attack these trembling undead creatures, nor did she plant the seeds of disease that could break out at any time. She just noted their approximate location, and then returned to the air, watching "Winner" Enzo and "Admiral of Hell" Ludville explore the outskirts of the city step by step.
Soon, the two secret dolls found a house from which faint sounds could be heard. It seemed to be built upside down, with layers spreading along the edge of the deep pit to the lower part. The door was on the top layer, like a honeycomb hanging from the eaves.
The "winner" Enzo held a gun in one hand and pressed the other hand on the still intact door. He turned his head to look at Ludwell, who held the rapier on his waist, his face hidden behind the mask. His eyes made of pale flames looked at Enzo and nodded.
They are all puppets, what kind of drama are they putting on here... Angel looked at everything below with amusement, guessing that Klein did not forget to play the role of "Master of Puppets" while exploring.
Crunch——
Enzo pushed the door open, and several pale rays of light flew past him. They were invisible arrows, none of which hit the "winner" but instead drew a parabola and fell deep into the city.
This is the confidence that gives the lucky ones the courage to take the lead.
As the door opened, Angel discovered that inside the building there was a giant nearly 4 meters tall with a shattered head. He was hitting an anvil with a huge hammer, as if he was forging a weapon, but there was nothing on the anvil.
Are the undead repeating their actions in life? But that's contrary to my theory; they probably don't have that instinct anymore... Angel had just begun to speculate when he noticed that Enzo, who had broken into the room, and Ludwell, who had followed him into the room, had both stopped in their tracks and didn't move.
Without hesitation, Angel changed direction and flew quickly upwards, his sights falling on the shadow of the building where Klein was hiding.
Tyrant Klein, wearing a triple crown and with a deathly look on his face, was now stiff all over, his limbs tense, and his figure emerged from the shadows like a rusty machine. He struggled to raise his right hand holding the "Word of the Sea" cane.
His spiritual thread was controlled by someone!
And inside Calderon, where it is extremely difficult for living people to approach, the only one who possesses this ability is the two people's target today, the "Spirit Plunderer".
Finding that the enemy was in a state of stagnation, the undead creatures that Angel had previously located emerged one by one from buildings, tombs, and underground. Only a few of them still retained their human form, and the majority were indescribable monsters. But every soul and every eye looked at Klein, who was about to become the prey of the spirit world predator.
The next second, these undead creatures fled into the distance, as if they were being chased by something more terrifying than themselves.
But before they had gone far, they fell from the sky one by one, rolled down the slope, or plunged directly into the city center deep in the pit.
All the ghosts who dared to show their heads died from the witch's "disease".
Of course, Angel did not let go of those who did not show up. She could not be sure where the "Spirit World Plunderer" was hiding, but judging from the distance at which Klein controlled the "Spirit Line", it would not be too far from him, and this distance was far smaller than the range of the "Despair" witch spreading the disease.
Moreover, under the effect of the "Witch" card, Angel's various abilities as a witch have been improved to a certain extent, which is why those ghosts who are probably not even as good as the mid-sequence extraordinary people fell dead in a few seconds.
As for the spirit world plunderers themselves… Angel quickly scanned the surroundings and found no new souls daring to show up. Klein's stagnant state had not yet been resolved. He opened his mouth with difficulty and uttered a command with a changed tone:
"action……"
In an instant, his lead-filled right hand moved, and the "Word of the Sea" cane brought his right arm to smash towards his head, hitting the crown hard with a blow, even with a bit of lightning power, knocking the translucent "Tyrant" into shape, and flickering electric lights appeared on the surface.
This magical item actively displayed its negative effects and began to beat its owner!
The "Creeping Hunger" on his other hand was not to be outdone, its palm gaping open with a bloody mouth, chanting a prayer in an aria:
“Praise you!
"The Lord who created everything, the Lord behind the veil of shadows, the fallen self of all living beings!"
The sharp sound, like a sharp object scraping across glass, gave Angel, who was searching for the "Spirit Plunderer" not far away, a headache. Klein, who was less than a meter away from it, instantly broke free of his stagnant state and recovered from the double blow to his mind and body.
“There!”
Without any hesitation, he pointed the "Word of the Sea" that was struggling to continue hitting him at a low building not far away. A thick lightning bolt emerged from the tip of the cane and shot towards the shadow at the base of the building like a fuse.
After falling into crisis, Klein not only tried his best to save himself, but also discovered the "Spiritual Plunderer" a hundred meters away through the spiritual line.
I didn't expect its control range to be much wider than that of the "Master of Secrets." It should be between the Trickster and me... Klein endured the prayers that kept ringing in his ears, and used his mind to force the "Creeping Hunger" to close its mouth. At the same time, he looked at the location where the black lines were concentrated in the distance.
A translucent white robe appeared there, with no visible limbs, head or neck, as if it was just a robe floating in the wind. But after it left its hiding place, the "spiritual lines" also moved with it, penetrating the white robe and entering the interior.
That's it... Just as this thought flashed through Klein's mind, he noticed a pale flame bursting out from under the white robe. At the same time, a few hundred meters away, near the other end of the city built around the crater, another identical flame flashed by. The figure of the "Spirit World Plunderer" had appeared on that side.
Flame jumping!
Just after stepping out of the flames, the invisible figure in a white robe swayed in the air. The disease in its body had quickly spread throughout its body. Even the body of the undead could not withstand the ravages of the demigod-level disease. If it did not leave the witch as soon as possible, within ten seconds, it would be the same as those souls that had once again returned to the arms of the "God of Death".
But where is that invisible "witch" hiding... After a little thought, the Spirit World Plunderer decided to continue escaping from here by jumping through fire. It looked down into the depths of Calderon, ignited a flame within the limit of its jump, and was about to dive into it.
But the next moment, the flame was extinguished with a "puff" sound in the sudden extreme cold, and the pale flames that appeared around the "Spirit World Plunderer" also disappeared. The white-robed figure paused and trembled even more violently.
Above its head, the originally thin mist became thicker, as if it were a substance, pressing towards it.
That was not the grayish-white fog that covered this "City of the Dead", but the icy fog formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air.
That is the frost power of the witch "Despair"!
