Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 92 92. Kidnapping (8)

The feeling of powerlessness and idleness is not very good, but for a person who has just been "rescued" from the floor of a small dark room, a good meal and a soft bed are far better than any hypnotic spell.

Emma slept deeply, with no dreams, only darkness.

Even so, she was awakened by a certain sound.The sudden, deafening sound roared in the ears, making the eardrums hurt.

Emma sat up suddenly, her brain was still in a semi-sleep state, and she didn't know how long it took to start functioning.

This must be the roar of the monster Gaius spoke of.The sound was hard to ignore, and scary enough.But... not entirely unfamiliar.

In order to confirm her guess, Emma carefully opened the door.After confirming that there are no manticores or cockatrices in the nearby corridors, start looking for the stairs leading to the basement.

She gripped her wand tightly in her hand, feeling her way along the wall.This is a gamble, the bet is that Lu Tong will not let her die easily.

If you encounter those monsters guarding the temple unfortunately, as long as you can hold on for a while, the more terrifying little monster should appear.

Even if it is dangerous, you must go and see it. If it is really what you think, then the situation will be more complicated.

Fortunately, the structure of the temple is no better than a castle, with symmetrical and standardized buildings, coupled with the roar from time to time to judge the direction, it is easy to guess where the entrance to the basement is.

The voice didn't sound like anger, it was more like... coming from pain.This adds some creepy empathy to the listener's fear.

There are huge oak wine barrels in the basement, and a lot of food. Of course, the monster is not here.At the end, there was a hole that should not have existed there.

The entrance of the cave is not covered, and some structures similar to stalactite caves can be seen vaguely inside, and it is dark inside.

Emma lightened the top of the wand slightly, and the brightness was just right to see the five meters around.She took a deep breath and tiptoed inside tentatively.

This is indeed a stalactite cave, definitely not part of the temple.I don't know if Lutong discovered it by accident, or if he used a special way to connect this space with the basement.

The ground is slippery, and the top of the head drips cold water from time to time, which makes the exploration process even more frightening.Fortunately, apart from the occasional roar that made the entire space tremble, there were no other sounds here.

When the dome of the cave became higher rapidly, Emma finally saw the monster from a distance.She extinguished her wand, as no light was needed at this time either.There is a natural "skylight" above the monster's head, and the misty moonlight shines in through the clouds, making its outline clearly recognizable.

It was a figure Emma could recognize at a glance, and she had wrestled with it not so long ago.

A bone dragon, exactly the same in appearance and size as the "little dragons" used in the trial.Although it is the skeleton of a minor who died young, it is still a huge monster with no friends.

Even if there are other necromancers in this world who also make bone dragons, they will never be the same as Mr. Oka's works.

After confirming the "look" of the skull dragon, Emma already had the answer in her heart.

It seems that Mr. Oka and Deer Boy...or think a little deeper, the Duke of Gervais, who rules the Southern Islands, is probably related to the monster Deer Boy and his evil experiments.

The stalactites formed many natural barriers, and Emma was petite and well hidden behind.I don't know if the bone dragon still has a sense of smell, let's say it doesn't, and it doesn't seem to mind the surrounding situation, writhing in pain, shaking its terrifying head up and down.

What is it that makes it so hard?Emma didn't dare to get close, so she could only look at it from a distance.The process was a bit difficult, but fortunately her eyesight was not bad.

The red keel dragon, sharp horns, thick limbs, huge wings... everything is as if carved out of the same mold as the one that hunted and killed Emma.No obvious damage was seen.

What harm can it do to an indestructible pile of bones?
Wait, there's something wrong with its lower body.The part of the hind limb, the part of the tail.Especially the tail, which was originally supposed to be a long bone, like a pale whip, but in the previous waving, Emma clearly saw that it looked very thick.

It wasn't noticeable at first when it lay on the ground, because the tail melted into the black shadow.But once you wave it, it's obvious.

The tail already had "flesh", something as black as fog formed the shape of a dragon's tail, wrapped around the bones.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Emma's forehead, and this black mist happened to be an existence she was familiar with.Though it was richer and fresher, she was so impressed by the dark magic that lingered on the holy mountain that it was impossible to admit it.

Someone is using dark magic to reshape the body of the bone dragon!
Could it be that Lu Tong is a user of dark magic?The initiator of the experimental ruins on the holy mountain?
Emma felt hopeless for the first time today, the truth came too fast, too much, and too heavy.Involved in this level of conspiracy, it is absolutely impossible for her such an insignificant role to escape unscathed.

"Why, you also like small animals?"

The deer boy's voice rang in Emma's ears like a death knell.

"Do you like it? My pet, the name, I haven't decided yet."

Emma stood up straight, trying to look as nonchalant as possible.Although the scene was ugly, since the deer boy didn't forbid her to walk in the temple, it was just that Gaius warned her that there were monster guards, so don't run around.She doesn't need to act like she's done something wrong right now.

"I like it very much. I like magical creatures the most. If I guess correctly, this should be the child of Theseus."

Because he had heard Emma's account of the trial at dinner, Lu Tong was not surprised that she asked such a question.

"Yeah, that fellow Oka told you apprentices that he found Theseus and his four children, but the fact is that he found Theseus and his six children."

"Six? In other words, there is another bone dragon here?"

"Unfortunately." Lu Tong shrugged, "The other one is already dead."

"Bone dragons still die? I thought they were dead things in the first place."

"Of course, the key to manipulating a corpse is the soul that remains on it. It is not accurate to say that it is a soul. Orientals are very good at this kind of magic, and they divide the soul into 'soul' and 'po', and the souls are entangled with each other penetration, but each performs its own duties. The soul is the self-awareness, and the soul is responsible for controlling the limbs."

"So the soul remaining in the body is the key to control. Therefore, the necromancer's puppet has only a trace of soul, but it can move freely."

"No wonder I like talking to you, because it doesn't take much effort." Lu Tong smiled into two crescent moons, "The soul will dissipate immediately with death, but the soul will stay in the corpse and bones. A little bit, the remaining soul power in the soul is also essential."

"Without the last touch of soul power, the bone dragon finally died, an irreversible and uncontrollable end."

"That's right, it's so pitiful. That child, his tolerance for pain was a little bit too weak, so he just disappeared in the wailing. Fortunately, his sister is more upbeat and has survived the most difficult period."

"So you're reshaping her flesh? Using dark magic?"

Lu Tong looked at Emma with a hint of disbelief.

"You can actually see that this is dark magic? Why?"
