Chapter 274: Raid dungeon (66)
As soon as time started, there was a burst of blood that came from the mummy leader.
Though it was strange that blood would come from an undead like the mummy leader who should have had all of its blood drained.
None of the other mummies had released blood when they were killed…
It flew right past me and fell to the ground since I had dodged out of the way.
It was a good thing that I had dodged a bit more so that it wasn't able to get any blood on me.
After it landed on the ground, it didn't move at all.
Well, it tried to move, but it wasn't able to move at all.
It was as if it didn't have the energy to move at all.
Though with all those cuts on its body, it was a surprise that it didn't fall apart to pieces.
It seemed like this mummy leader's body was much tougher than it seemed.
But even then, it wasn't able to move since I had made sure to sever all of the muscles that would have moved the limbs. I wasn't certain if it would work since this mummy leader was an undead, but it seemed that it did work.
When I looked closely, I could see something that was similar to living flesh under the bandages…
The mummy leader's eyes still had struggle in them, but it couldn't move at all.
So the only thing that it could do was, "How? What did you do just now?"
I didn't respond as I looked at the mummy leader staring up at me from the ground.
Instead of saying anything, I raised my sword and walked towards it without hesitation.
I had been cautious before since I had been dealing with an unknown demon king.
But now that it seemed like the mummy leader wasn't able to do anything, it was better to put it out of its misery before something changed.
However, before I could stab down at the mummy leader, the look in its eyes suddenly changed. At the same time, the aura around the mummy leader became completely different.
It was…a dangerous aura.
I stopped moving forward and took several steps back, creating some space with the mummy leader.
The mummy leader still wasn't able to move, but it looked right up at me and said, "So you're the one. You're the one that ruined my vessel."
I couldn't help being shocked.
It wasn't because this was a voice that was unfamiliar, it was because I strangely felt some kind of resonance with this voice.
It was as if…this voice belonged to someone that I instinctively knew.
I slowly said, "Vessel? What do you mean?"
The voice coming from the mummy leader gave a cold laugh before saying, "You don't even know something as simple as this? Then there's no need for me to worry about you."
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this.
The mummy leader continued by saying, "You can have this vessel and that one over there. I'll just create an even better one."
The aura that had been around the mummy leader started to fade away after it said this.
I knitted my brows even deeper, but I said, "Wait, who are you?"
But there was no answer to this question as the aura completely disappeared.
The mummy leader looked up in a daze, as if it couldn't understand what had just happened.
But then it revealed a look of despair.
It looked down at itself and found that most of the dark energy that had been around it had faded away.
It looked up again and said, "My lord, please don't abandon me!"
As expected, the one that had taken over the mummy leader just now was the demon lord that had given it the dark energy that it used.
Seeing the mummy leader desperately calling out for it 'lord', I figured that it was better to finish it off.
There was nothing else that I could gain from this mummy leader and leaving it alive like this was…dangerous.
This was usually where they gained special powers or awakened something.
I wouldn't let that flag happen, so I would finish it off before anything could happen.
I walked right up to the mummy leader and raised my sword over it.
The mummy leader had still been pleading, but when it saw my sword come over it, it knew what was about to happen. Instead of pleading to that lord, it looked at me and said, "Wait, I'll follow you as long as you spare…"
It didn't get to finish as my sword came down and cut off its head.
There was no way that I would ever be able to use this mummy leader if I let it live, so I wouldn't let it live.
The mummy leader's head rolled on the ground a bit as if it couldn't believe that I would kill it so easily.
When it was over, I turned back to the others.
It was clear by the looks on their faces that there were questions that they wanted to ask, but I said, "Let's go and finish this."
They looked in the direction that I was looking in before turning back to give slow nods.
We came together and headed over to where Tie Gang was fighting the pharaoh mummy.
But as we walked over, I couldn't help looking down at my hand and squeezing it, as if I felt something.
Long Shui Ling was beside me, so she saw all of this.
She came forward with a concerned look and asked, "What's wrong?"
I looked back at her and shook my head to say, "Nothing."
She looked at me as if she didn't believe me, but I didn't say anything else as I walked forward.
In my mind, I couldn't help thinking about what the demon king had said.
Vessel…
