Fairy Tail: Simulated from 400 years ago

Chapter 55 Keith
"They were just dealt with, and their bodies are still warm." Lyle inspected the dwarf corpses and reminded, "The attackers should not have gone far. Let's be careful."

Erin nodded, and she observed the wounds on the corpse. It looked like it had been cut by some kind of sharp blade, and there was a spell left behind, confirming that it was the work of a demon.

She told Lyle what she had discovered, and added: "These wounds are not fatal. It should be said that the demon deliberately avoided the fatal place..."

Lyle understood: "The dwarves were bleeding to death or dying of pain. The devil was torturing them."

"I'm afraid so."

It seems that the demon encountered this time is even more ferocious than a jackal.

The two walked cautiously through the tunnel filled with dwarf corpses, always sensing the movement around them and guarding against possible attacks.

However, even in such a cramped and gloomy place, Lyle remained calm and composed, and even thought of the movie he had seen in his previous life - the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", which also mentioned the underground palace where dwarves lived, and was attacked. The attack of the orc army.

He turned back and asked curiously: "Where are the orcs in Ishgar? How is their relationship with the dwarves?"

"Orcs?" Irene didn't understand why Lyle asked this question without any end, but still gave the answer based on memory, "Orcs are distributed throughout the entire continent of Ishgar, but they are mainly concentrated on the east coast. You have basically nothing to do with dwarves, right? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I just suddenly thought of it and asked."

"If you are interested in them, we will go to the east coast after we leave here."

"Actually, I don't care that much..."

"I heard that there is a clan of sea monsters on the east coast."

"Siren?" Lyle thought of the half-human, half-fish appearance of "Aquarius" Akuiya, as well as her beautiful figure, and raised his eyebrows, "That is indeed worth a visit."

As soon as he said this, Irene put her hand on his waist and twisted it hard, making him cry out "Ouch".

"Stop talking nonsense and look ahead." Eileen knew that he was joking on purpose and wanted her to relax, so she didn't continue to argue.

However, she pinched Lyle's waist with her fingers. This movement became more and more proficient, and she couldn't stop it. Just now, she reflexively stretched her hand to Lyle's waist.

"Okay, okay, okay." Lyle waved his hand amusingly.

The two walked in the tunnel, trying not to step on the dwarf's corpse as much as possible.

Although I didn't deliberately count them along the way, at least more than 40 dwarves died. There may be more in other places. I don't know if there are any survivors.

"The two queens of the elves and goblins are still smart." Lyle said with emotion, "Moving to the 'Dragon Secret Realm' will not only have a better living environment, but also be able to resist foreign enemies under the protection of the dragon clan. . If the dwarves are also in the 'Dragon Secret Realm' and the devil is targeting them, they need to consider whether they are strong enough, right?"

Erin shook her head: "It's useless to say this now. This is their own choice."

At this time, a voice other than the two of them suddenly echoed in the tunnel.

"Yes, it's their choice."

The voice was old and hoarse, like a dying old man.

Lyle and Irene sensed each other's menacing spell, and both looked ahead warily.

However, the opponent's spell power poured directly into the ground, and countless small channels for conveying the spell power suddenly appeared on the tunnel floor, directly connected to the dwarf corpses like blood vessels.

"Be careful." Lyle warned, back to back with Irene.

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpses of the dwarves started to move.

"Uh uh uh--"

They all got up one after another. Although their eyes were dull and their bodies were mutilated, they all gained a certain degree of mobility.The dead dwarves picked up the bloody axes and surrounded Lyle and Irene like zombies.

Lyle didn't mean to be merciful at all. He pulled out the big sword from the alien space and slashed it out, sweeping away a large group of dwarves and cutting them into two pieces.

Irene directly pressed her hands on the tunnel floor: "'Additional Shockwave'!"

bang——

The shock wave moved forward along the tunnel floor, and the stone brick floor shattered. The dead dwarves all fell into the mud, and some were directly crushed by the shock wave.

Lyle stared at the end of the tunnel.

The instigator walked over slowly and revealed his true face. He was dressed like a bishop, but under the clothes was not a human body, but a pale zombie body.

He is one of the demons in the Book of Zeref - "Dark Monk Zheng Keith".

Keith's mouth was sewn shut, but he could still make a sound: "You are different from these dwarves... When I used the 'Necromantic Curse' to control the dead to attack the living, the dwarves' reaction was that they couldn't bear to deal with it. You do not hesitate to attack your compatriots. However, it is indeed a very rational behavior."

"Necromantic Curse"?
Lyle had this hunch when he saw the dwarf corpses on the ground "coming to life", but he didn't expect it to be true.

"It's meaningless for you to resist." Keith continued, "The entire 'Dwarf Underground Kingdom' is full of corpses. I can have as many armies as I want. Sooner or later, your magic power will be exhausted."

This is indeed a problem.

Erin made a decision. She suddenly squatted down and punched the ground with her fist. With a "bang" sound, the ground cracked. The whole thing shook a few times before collapsing downwards!
boom--

After the collapse, the space below suddenly opened up.

Lyle and Irene used magic power to fly up, while the dwarves fell straight from the sky to the bottom.

When they lowered their heads and took a closer look, they saw a huge underground city that was well-ordered and dotted with dots.

It turns out that under the tunnel is the location of the dwarves' underground kingdom city.

The buildings here are not exquisite, but they are stacked one after another and look as orderly as the internal structure of a clock.

However, this place is now a dead city.

The two flew for a while, but before Keith could catch up, Lyle asked curiously: "Eileen, how do you know there is a city below?"

When they got here, Lyle of course guessed that Irene had deliberately attacked the ground just now, causing it to collapse and help them escape.

Erin explained: "When I used the shock wave to bombard the ground, I realized that there was nothing underneath, so I decided to do this."

At this time, they once again sensed the familiar dark spell.

Keith caught up with him. He was in the air without his lower body, floating as if his soul was out of body, but he was flying very fast.

At the same time, Lyle and Irene sensed the presence of two other spells here, and were shocked.

It turns out that there is more than one demon here, and there are two more hiding in the dark. Fortunately, we were not fighting in a narrow and dark tunnel just now, otherwise it would be easy to be attacked by these two demons.

The two of them fell into the underground kingdom city and were in the shadows.

"Three against two?" Lyle pulled off the necklace around his neck and said, "You are unkind, and I am unjust."

The magic circle opened, and the two straight sword pendants twisted and changed, releasing Kuanghua and Sera!
