Chapter 433: Undead Creature in the Dead Sea (1/2)
GDK 433 – Undead Creature in the Dead Sea
Practicing necromancy was similarly quite exhausting. However, Han Shuo was able to grasp the spell pertaining to letting his soul freely travel to and from the netherworld rather quickly.
Perhaps it was because Han Shuo had already experienced entering the netherworld twice and also had detailed descriptions on how to use the skeletal staff to travel to and from the netherworld, Han Shuo took less than half a month to grasp the spell which allowed one’s soul to cross into the netherworld.
During this half a month, the little skeleton, elite earth zombie, and the others could often sense Han Shuo’s presence in the netherworld. However, as Han Shuo still couldn’t master a precise location, he would often find himself extremely far from the little skeleton and the others.
Every time Han Shuo entered the netherworld, he could immediately sense the messages the little skeleton and the others were transmitting to him. As the auras of the little skeleton and the others grew increasingly stronger and clearer, Han Shuo could felt their pressing thoughts to meet him. However, Han Shuo, who was constantly studying the necromancy magic meticulously, wasn’t in a hurry to reach the area where the little skeleton and the others were.
It was until a long time had passed that Han Shuo truly mastered the method of shuttling his soul to the netherworld. With necromancy spells and the assistance from the skeletal staff, Han Shuo could descend into the netherworld with a single thought and could rapidly return to the Profound Continent from the lifeless netherworld by sensing his physical body.
After mastering the necromancy spell, Han Shuo spent a few more days to research on how to accurately arrive at their location by utilizing his connection with the little skeleton and the others.
The bodies of the little skeleton and the others were marked not just by Han Shuo’s blood essence, they were also marked by dark seals. Whenever Han Shuo entered the netherworld, he could clearly feel the existence of the little skeleton and the others. After numerous adjustments to the skeletal staff and spell based on this connection, Han Shuo was finally able to succeed in arriving beside the little skeleton a few days later.
“Father!” the little skeleton said gently when Han Shuo landed beside him.
The little skeleton, fire elite zombie, and water elite zombie were on top of the bald mountain. And behind the little skeleton stood an army of densely packed undead creatures. These creatures included the three evil knights, the bone demon, and the mummy lord Pharaoh. Even more hate warriors, zombie warriors, and skeletal warriors filled the bald mountain.
Under the dusky grey sky, hundreds and thousands of gargoyles flew around in every direction. It seemed like they too were part of the little skeleton’s undead army.
Looking ahead, a vast, black sea could be seen below the bald mountain and it stretched all the way into the horizon. Within this lifeless and pitch-black black sea, there were numerous severed limbs and bones floating on the surface. It was just like another cemetery for the undead creatures and was full of dense deathly aura.
Several enormous auras hid within the vast black sea, as though they were secretly observing everything. Han Shuo could sense just how terrifying those few existences were. When he looked at the little skeleton and the others who were ready and waiting, Han Shuo suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems that the little skeleton had ill intentions when he led his undead army over to this location.
“Father, you can reach us accurately now?” When the little skeleton saw that Han Shuo only glanced around after landing beside the little skeleton, the little skeleton couldn’t help but repeated his question again.
Many sounds of breaking and snapping were heard. Under the manipulation of Han Shuo’s consciousness, several bones were forcibly removed from the bodies of around ten skeleton warriors. He then manipulated a dense deathly aura to rapidly strengthen these bones, making them tougher. In just a short while, Han Shuo had forged a white skeletal body.
“When I leave, I’ll return all the bones I took from their bodies.” Han Shuo said to the little skeleton.
“They should be honored to have their bones used by Father. These low-rank skeletal warriors will only obey commands and don’t have much intelligence. Their bones are not that tough. If Father wants a good skeleton body, I can help you find some better bones,” the little skeleton said to Han Shuo.
“There’s no need for that. Once I figure out the mysteries behind the transportation matrix in the Cemetery of Death, my real body will be able to enter this world. By then, my physical body will be in the Netherworld and no other bones will be more suitable for me.” Han Shuo explained to the little skeleton.
“That’s right. Father’s physical body is extremely strong. Even a bone dragon’s bone, the strongest bone in this world, is not as durable as Father’s bones.” The little skeleton nodded in agreement.
