Chapter 24 The Death Knight Arrives

After being fused with red stones, Minos is a strange-looking ring. A tail snake ring made of unknown bones is inlaid with teardrop-like red gems. If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear wailing murmurs.

It echoes in the red stone, as if an unwilling soul is imprisoned in it.

 At the same time, Griffith gained some mysterious knowledge.

Minos can generate and use blood and undead runes according to Griffith's will, create a puppet, resurrect and control an unlimited number of undead. However, unlike spellcasters, it has many limitations and cannot use Blood Bat Storm.

Such a spell is more like a medium that collects spiritual energy, creates puppets and drives them.

There is no upper limit to the number of undead creatures that Minos can resurrect and enslave, and there is not even a casting interval, but it does consume a substance called life energy.

 Minos cannot create life energy, but with the help of red stone, it can charge inefficiently by dissolving and absorbing any type of extraordinary properties above sequence 8.

The extraordinary characteristic crystals of Sequence 8 are also divided into strong and weak ones. They can convert no less than 50 units of life energy, which means they can resurrect and drive at least 50 weak living corpses. The extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 have at least 200 units of life energy.

.The undead creatures resurrected by Minos can only last for no more than an hour before disintegrating. Their existence time can be extended or even maintained for a long time by supplementing flesh and blood, spiritual energy or other unknown methods.

 Resurrecting and enslaving powerful undead creatures will undoubtedly require more life energy.

When Griffith accepted this information, he immediately realized that this was a sealed object related to undead creatures. It had the rare ability to collect various forms of energy and transform it. It was it that created the army of the dead.

One of the main ways to use it.

Griffith's superficial knowledge of mysticism has allowed him to vaguely guess the origin of this ring. It is a high-sequence sealed object that hints at the extraordinary path of the "immortal" of death and resurrection. Only those extraordinary beings can possess such power.

ability.

However, the runes provided by the bone ring Minos are unheard of. The "immortal" path itself does not seem to have this ability, or even any path. On the other hand, the power of the ring itself is also very weak, unlike it

There is a huge mismatch in abilities.

 Griffith speculated that a powerful being made a batch of such rings and scattered them all over the world. Only when the holder is strong enough will the true power of the ring be revealed.

As for why Minos was obtained by the fallen mage Camilla in the sewers? She called Griffith a "noble's lackey" and was planning to overthrow the "old world".

 Griffith thought of the Isis mage apprentice who knew her and attacked him.

"For the sake of the holy cause, I will ensure her destruction, no matter the cost." These words came from Isis, who then used goblins and living corpses to carry out the attack on Galadia.

One of the goblin shamans who participated in the attack at Nethergarde even said when they tried to die together: "Rebellion against this false world."

 What the hell, what kind of threat can Galadia be? She won't threaten anyone at all. What does the sacred cause have to do with her?

Griffith rubbed his forehead and tried his best to sort out the information he already had.

The being who makes and provides rings and his followers are hostile to the existing order and nobles, and want to kill Galadia. He is building his own power, hoping that the ring bearers will grow up and have stronger powers.

Power. However, He did not send any message. Do I need to take the initiative to pray to Him as Minos said?

When he just got the ring, Griffith heard a clear sentence——

 “Fear brings desire, desire demands strength, strength breaks through the shackles, and we will eventually be free.”

Think about it carefully, the process of Griffith obtaining and using the bone ring really fulfilled the first half of the sentence. So, what are the shackles and freedom?

 Griffith withdrew his thoughts. When he did not call Minos directly, his will could block the ring, and the ring did not know what it was thinking.

He has been on guard and on guard in case the Bone Ring is harmful to him, and he has been like this since the day he got it. But gradually, he found that this little thing is very useful, and it may be of great significance. For Galadia,

He will also continue to hold and enhance this ring, and try to contact the existence and organization that made the ring, and find out what their intentions are.

 …

 After being ravaged by crossbows and fire, the large tomb in the south of the lower city had almost collapsed into ruins. There were still many living corpses moving around outside the tomb, but the interior was in a mess.

 Among the collapsed ruins, there is a activated magic circle on the ground. There is also a very strong pale sarcophagus in the corner.

 Griffith walked over and took a look. Judging from the traces and the surrounding environment, the internal structure of the large tomb was mainly made of wood and masonry. The sarcophagus was obviously moved into this tomb from elsewhere.

 Griffith pushed the sarcophagus and found that it was firmly locked, making it difficult for an extraordinary person to push it open. There was a line of small words on the sarcophagus:

“Here lies Thonos, a solitary and powerful hunter.”

  The sarcophagus was motionless and there seemed to be no danger for the time being.

 Griffith gave up the investigation of the sarcophagus and began to search the ruins for any enemy items, letters or wounded commanders.

Just when he was about to conduct an in-depth investigation, the broken magic circle rippled, and a clear image projection appeared one meter above the ground.

 Judging from the environment, furnishings and exquisite stone materials, what appears in the projection is a huge and magnificent tomb, which is probably a higher-standard building in Raven Cemetery.

 An extremely huge suture monster is squirming and twisting in the chains and magic confinement. Countless spiritual energy is flowing into its body like water.

 It is absorbing the energy gathered from all sides, becoming more powerful every second. Around the hall, many Deathrattle Cult believers wearing robes are casting spells and chanting.

 Griffith immediately realized that this was the image of the command center of the cult!

At the same time, a terrifying and distant sound came from the magic circle. The terrifying aura even captured Griffith, making his body stiff and unable to move his eyes.

A terrifying will came. Griffith couldn't see its figure clearly, but he could hear the heavy horse's hooves and the neighing sound. The overwhelming sense of oppression made him breathless.

 It comes from a distant world, and every sound and every breath hints of disaster.

The believers of the Deathrattle Order who cast the spell fell to their knees one after another, waiting for the order in silence.

 “Report progress.”

 The terrifying will made a low, hoarse sound, as clear as if it were beside Griffith. He turned his eyes in horror, but found nothing.

“The powerful Corruption Corpse, Fendus Corruption has arrived,” in the thunderous roar, the fleshy mountain-like Stitched Corpse Monster said, “Is it you, a weak death knight, who summoned me?”

 Death knight? Death knight in sequence 5 of the "Undead" path? A death knight who feeds on fear and screams and enslaves the dead! Griffith, who was watching, was stunned.

A gap opened in the stone wall of the large tomb in the projection, and a sarcophagus rose from there, very similar to the sarcophagus beside Griffith. As the upper part of the sarcophagus slid, a man wearing armor, holding a black sword, a shield and

The skeleton warrior who threw the spear crawled out and knelt down on one knee in front of the death knight:

 “The skeleton warrior and commander, Saka Bones, are here to be dispatched.”

One of the followers of the Deathrattle sect also said respectfully:

“The necromancer, Clovis Cataclysm, is here to be dispatched. Noble and powerful Death Knight, the troops you need are ready.”

In the shadows and fog, a knight riding a black horse slowly appeared. He was wearing heavy plate armor and black robes, and there was blood shining under his ferocious and sharp helmet.

Horse hooves hit the stone slab, making a thunderous roar, which made Griffith tremble from the bottom of his heart. Just seeing the blurry image in the projection and hearing the sound of horse hooves and words, he was already terrified and wanted to run away.

The death knight's eyes swept over his men one by one, and finally stopped on the corpse Findus. The latter was looking at him maliciously with its small eyes.

The rotten corpse's bucket-like arms took out a bone knife, a butcher's knife, a chain and a sickle from nowhere, and chaotic killing intent surged.

 The death knight raised his hand and pointed at the rotten corpse: "Send your fears and cries to the knight of the eternal negator."

A green ball of energy between the form of mud and fire rushed from the death knight's hand towards the rotting corpse. The powerful rotting corpse immediately screamed wildly, raised the weapon in his hand to resist, and at the same time threw a weapon at the opponent.

out of deadly heavy chains.

 The evil green energy penetrated the barrier of the terrifying chains, ignored the thick rotten flesh and powerful spiritual energy, and tore and collided crazily inside the body of the rotting zombie.

 “Ouch——!”

The moment the rotten corpse was hit by the green evil energy, it screamed as if it was illuminated by holy light. Its fat body broke free from the chains and rolled on the ground, letting out a terrifying scream.

The death knight did not even look at the tortured corpse of the rotten soul, and issued a brief command to the other undead creatures:

“Target the city gate of the upper city of Ruiwen, and launch a general attack with the entire army.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and stared into the deserted void.

His eyes passed through the illusion of magic and fixed on Griffith:

"The camp to the south has been destroyed, and a small insect has slipped in. Ghoul Thonos, use your claws and fangs to tear him to pieces, and hang his skull on your bone tail for decoration."

 The aura of terror suddenly boiled out from the sarcophagus in the ruins. The large tomb chamber, which had been peaceful just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with boiling spiritual energy.

 Griffith realized that this was directed at him, tried his best to break free from the stiffness caused by fear, turned around and ran away.

The sarcophagus slowly opened, and a green magic circle appeared inside. With waves of light fluctuations, a huge ghoul came out. His body was like a human, twice as big as an ordinary ghoul.

It was as strong as a bull, with no skin all over its body. Its blood-red muscles and white meridians and bones were exposed to the air, and a long whip-like bone tail was waving, making a tearing sound.

 There are six sharp bone spurs like spears growing on its back, and the cold bone surface has an almost metallic luster.

“Leader of the ghouls, Thonos Whiptail obeys your will, your mighty death knight.”

This distinctive ghoul immediately raised its head and sniffed the air, then chased in the direction of Griffith.
