Chapter 370: Summoning the Old Fey Corpse
After Han Shuo departed dark elves’ territory, the five female dark elves worked together to drag the corpse of Adele and the dark elf elders into one of the deepest cellar rooms. They falsely claimed to others that Adele and the other dark elf elders had already begun touring the world above.
After a couple of days, the cellar was suddenly filled with tens of thousands of small spiders. It seemed as though every spider in dark elf territory had somehow made their way into the cellar. Somehow, none of the dark elves within the territory detected these spiders.
Tens of thousands of small spiders were densely packed together, completely filling up the cellar. As the spiders crazily squirmed on top of Adele’s body, the small spiders began spitting a strange, magical silk one after the other. As the silk fell onto Adele’s body, the small spiders began drying up one after the other, losing their lives. They had spat out their very own life force along with the silk.
This process continued for some time. Finally, after the tens of thousands of small spiders that had entered the cellar room had all spat out their life force, they all died within the cellar room.
Adele’s dried up and shriveled body slowly began weathering. After a few days, only white skeletal bones remained. However, within Adele’s skull, there was actually an additional thumb-sized blue pearl that emitted a blue haze. The pearl was filled with the evil goddess Rose’s evil power, similar to what Han Shuo had previously absorbed.
One day, this blue pearl suddenly burst, expelling hundreds of thousands of blue colored threads of silk. They inserted themselves within the bodies of the several dark elf elders that had already died. The silk actually began extracting strands of blue light from within the elders’ body. Within just a moment’s time, the body of all the several dark elf elders had completely transformed into ashes, blown away on the air. Then, during the middle of the night, the blue colored pearl slowly flew out of the cellar, flying towards the temple of evil goddess Rose.
In the middle of the temple, an innocent and pure young female dark elf was facing the statue of Rose, piously praying. This dark elf young lady appeared to have the age of a sixteen or seventeen year old human girl, seemingly uncorrupted by the profoundly lewd and evil cultures of the dark elf race. She worshipped Rose’s statue, looking like a most devoted believer.
While facing the statue of Rose, she kowtowed continuously while murmuring in the language of the dark elves. Suddenly, the blue pearl flew over her head and hovered there. Then, the blue pearl abruptly burst, emitting blue colored rays of light that tightly wrapped around the young lady below.
After the blue colored pearl emitted its tremendous power, it began transferring that power into the young lady’s body. The young lady began to shriek in pain, but the strands had tightly wound around every inch of her body, even sealing her mouth. So even her wretched screams were stifled as she struggled in vain.
The young lady’s originally jade-green pupils gradually turned white. The muffled shrieks also began to gradually quiet down. After a while, the blue pearl, along with the hundreds of thousands of blue strands of light, slowly began merging into the young lady’s body. The blue colored light continued to linger within the young lady’s body as she collapsed in front of the statue. Only when it was nearly dawn did the blue light completely disappear, and her pupils gradually regain their previous jade-green look.
When the young lady stood up and faced the statue, she performed a rite in deep gratitude. Then, she gnashed her teeth and said, “Bryan, I will make you taste every iota of my suffering. I swear, I will use the same method to kill you!”
At that moment, a carefree and wild laugh echoed from the Cemetery of Death, brimming with the sound of joy and comfort.
An approximately two meter tall old fey zombie stood in front of Han Shuo. Its body was covered with long, green hair, and its teeth and claws looked razor sharp. At long last, Han Shuo had successfully summoned it, and it wasted no time in roaring its displeasure. This advanced ranked zombie was actually not being restrained by the laws of the heavens and earth of the Profound Continent. Instead, it was clamoring in an immensely loud voice that spread powerfully throughout the Cemetery of Death, mixing with Han Shuo’s wild laughter.
After the old fey zombie roared, it raised its head and saw the creator of the contract in front of him. Unexpectedly, it shot straight towards him. Its speed made it seem like a bolt of green lightning as it flew, its one-meter long talons humming through the wind. It had an astonishingly and incomparably imposing aura.
“Damn it, it seems like it wasn’t entirely successful. There’s another part that needs fixing. Otherwise, this formidable zombie would not have immediately attacked me right after arriving within this dimension. If this was during an actual battle, the necromancer would have been screwed.” Han Shuo cursed softly. Seeing the old fey zombie charging at him, he hurriedly took out the Demonslayer Edge.
Han Shuo’s left hand grasped a skeleton staff. A quick wave and incantation later, an enormous bone shield crashed in front of Han Shuo right before a sharp bone spur could skewer him. The old fey zombie’s attack crashed audibly into the shield, with the latter exploding fiercely. The old fey zombie tumbled to the ground from the force of the impact.
The bone shield summoned by a grand magus was considerably more powerful and covered a wider area. Thus, when the old fey zombie charged towards the bone shield, it couldn’t pierce through the bone shield’s defenses. It was only capable of cracking the shield.
Without waiting for the old fey zombie to scramble back up, the Demonslayer Edge suddenly flew out of Han Shuo’s hands. The screech of metal striking metal rang out as two of the old fey zombie’s sharp claws were severed. However, Han Shuo was still shocked as he wondered exactly what on earth the old fey zombie’s sharp claws were made of. Only two claws had been shorn off after the Demonslayer Edge’s strike descended, and that too with difficulty.
Han Shuo knew in his heart just how sharp the Demonslayer Edge was. Furthermore, after tempering it meticulously once more with enormous amounts of killing intent, it could effortlessly split rocks and chop metal. Han Shuo truly had never anticipated that this old fey zombie would actually be so frightening. When the Demonslayer Edge chopped downwards, it had only snapped apart two of its sharp claws.
The old fey zombie fell to a sitting position, baring its fangs and howling loudly once more. Then, it once again launched itself towards Han Shuo as he also began waving the skeleton staff in his hands again. This time, a hundred or so bone spears appeared, breaking through the skies. Although they were incapable of piercing the old fey zombie, they were enough to force it to backtrack in retreat.
Taking advantage of the respite, Han Shuo relied on the contract’s powerful connection to the other world and used the skeleton staff to forcefully return the old fey zombie back to its world.
