Chapter 559: Evil Dragon’s Artifact! (1/2)

Ayrin was not concerned with being seen by the demihumans and monsters around them. He immediately chanted, “Ring Soul: Death Knight!”

A burst of spring-like blue arcane energy suddenly erupted along with Ayrin’s arcane particles and washed over the Grudge Soul Gem in his hand.

The Grudge Soul Gem started to melt. Grey arcane power twisted and integrated with the blue arcane energy, crystalizing into dark green particles.

Whoosh!

The space before Ayrin trembled.

The changes completed within a second.

The Grudge Soul Gem became a dark green crystal ring in Ayrin’s palm.

The surface of the ring had grooves like naturally carved sigils. Although shallow, the aura wrapped around it felt very profound.

“You really learned it?”

Emila could not hold back her surprise.

She was the instructor of the Royal Thorns Corps. She had trained an innumerable number of talented recruits. That made her all the more astonished at Ayrin’s accomplishments.

He possessed an inhuman learning ability.

“That’s no big deal, it’s rather slow for him.” Stingham felt she was exaggerating and grumbled, “He’s much faster usually. He even learns his opponents’ arcane skills during battles.”

“Hehe.” Ayrin embarrassedly scratched his head and pointed at the black panther, “The ride was not smooth and a little bumpy. I also worried it might bite me so I got distracted and took longer than usual.”

“Why are you always worrying about it biting you!?” The group almost tripped.

Isn’t that kind of worry meaningless?

The black panther let out another growl in anger. It kept scratching the ground with its paws.

“Because I was bitten by a black dog in the mines of Cororin Town. That wild dog was also completely black and seemed unfriendly.” Ayrin explained.

Are you saying I look like a black dog!?

The black panther was furious.

“I suggest you stop explaining.” Stingham took a glance at the black panther in worry, “Otherwise, it might really bite you.”

“Let’s take a look at this Grudge Soul Knight then!” Ayrin immediately shouted.

Everyone’s attention was successfully drawn away, even the black panther stopped growling and focused on the ring in Ayrin’s hand.

“Grudge Soul Knight: Summon!” Ayrin chanted and the arcane particles released from his hand became a strange yellowish formation. Then, it contracted into the ring.

“Master!”

Without any sign, a hollow and emotionless voice suddenly called out, giving everyone a scare.

After the voice called out, the space in front of Ayrin shook and a grey silhouette over two meters tall appeared.

“Even the shape remains the same!”

Ayrin opened his eyes in surprise.

The Grudge Soul Knight looked the same as the Bone Emperor. A mixed gender monster with two goat horns growing on its head. One hand held a whip, the other a candle-like gem.

However, its body, including the whip and gem, were now made out of grey crystals. The face was blurry and seemed like grey flowing water, giving off a hollow look.

A dense necromancy and grudge aura lingered around it, becoming a yellowish hue. Its crystalized body did not seem heavy and the yellowish hue lifted it up to allow it to hover over the ground. As the arcane energy fluctuated, its body also bobbed up and down.

As Ayrin examined the Grudge Soul Knight, it spoke with a hollow and emotionless voice, “Awaiting your orders, Master!”

The voice was like the billowing wind in a wind tunnel.

“Are you really obeying me completely?” Ayrin was still not convinced.

“Of course!” The Grudge Soul Knight replied.

Ayrin looked at it and spoke, “Then repeat after me. Bone Emperor is a pig head, Bone Emperor is a shemale.”

“Bone Emperor is a pig head, Bone Emperor is a shemale.” The Grudge Soul Knight obediently repeated. Its voice remained hollow and emotionless without showing any change.

“Looks like you’re really obedient.” Ayrin immediately smiled in satisfaction.

The others almost puked blood. Ayrin was even worried about the forbidden skill failing after successfully converting the gem into a Grudge Soul Knight.

“We don’t have time to idle around. That crystal coffin is not a normal artifact. It seems to be forming a unique domain that far exceeds the power of my level. We must destroy it now!” Lenyu spoke at that moment and started advancing again.

“A domain exceeding your level? Uncle Lenyu, are you saying the power of this item is equivalent to a seven-gate arcane master unleashing his power?”

Ayrin followed closely behind Lenyu. Even he was showing astonishment.

Stingham wanted to cry and screamed in fear, “A seven-gate arcane master? Then what are we going there for? Suicide?”

“It may not be so serious. It may be an artifact left behind by a seven-gate arcane master.” Lenyu breathed slowly. He raised his sensing ability to the max. If there was really a seven-gate arcane master up ahead, then casualties would occur the moment they attacked.
