Werewolf wizard

The axe shattered before it even reached Su Nan, under the pressure of his magical power.

It turned into a pile of rusty fragments, falling to the ground.

Su Nan looked at Gaius and discovered that he actually possessed the strength of a Great Knight, meaning his true identity was that of a Skeleton Great Knight.

And his wife, Gaia, was also a Skeleton Knight.

All the skeletons in this undead town were at least of Knight Squire level, even Gaius's two skeleton servants.

Su Nan looked at the female slave, Tita, who still wore a terrified expression, remaining alive, though a chain bound her to the Gaius household.

The female slave Tita shrieked at Su Nan and Mary, "How did you enter the Deep Town?"

"You must leave here quickly!"

"The mirror is the passage. If you find the mirror, you can leave the Deep Town and return to the Shallow Town. As long as you stay in the Shallow Town, all the town residents will be friendly."

"You must leave! In this Deep Town, everyone is a monster. They will kill you, run…"

The female slave Tita's words abruptly stopped as Su Nan waved his hand towards the Gaius skeleton knight couple, instantly bisecting all four skeleton knights in the house with bolts of lightning from his palm.

Simultaneously, Su Nan extended his right hand towards the entrance of the Gaius residence, unleashing a streak of dark purple magical energy that instantly annihilated dozens of skeleton knights surrounding his doorway.

Su Nan frowned slightly, displeased. "How foolish to try and deceive me."

"Vasilian, lead the knights to clear the path ahead. Eliminate any skeletons that dare to obstruct our progress."

"Mary, take this female slave. She must be someone of importance."

Mary immediately drew her bronze short sword, imbued it with dark energy, and severed the death-magic-reinforced chains binding Tita.

Mary watched Su Nan's departing figure, filled with a sense of 'He's so reliable!'

She had entered this town eleven times but never discovered its true nature.

She had never once entered this so-called Deep Town.

Yet, on her first visit with Su Nan, he had immediately found this place.

To Mary, this felt like the exhilarating experience of a newbie being carried by a pro.

With Su Nan's help, how could she possibly fail to undo the curse?!

The Death Knight Legion cleared the path ahead. Even ordinary Death Knights possessed the strength of a second-level wizard apprentice, far surpassing ordinary knights.

Thus, wherever the ten Death Knights' black blades passed, all skeleton undead were cleaved apart.

A massive skeleton wearing a crown noticed the Death Knights guarding Su Nan's advance on the street.

It abruptly leaped in front of Su Nan, emanating a deep deathly magical power.

This Skeleton King, possessing at least 90 points of spiritual power, addressed Su Nan: "Audacious outsiders, how dare you wreak havoc in the town of necromancers!"

"Death shall befall you! I am the Skeleton King! I will kill you!"

"Bone Reinforcement Art!"

"Joint Animation Art!"

"Iron Bone Curse!"

With a wave of its hand, it used waves of death magic to enhance thirty skeleton knight squires, then commanded them to attack the Death Knights guarding Su Nan.

A skeleton sea was about to form.

But in the next moment, the Skeleton King's crown was suddenly cleaved in two, its white bone crown falling onto the town's brick ground, shattering into several pieces.

Simultaneously, the thirty skeleton knight squires on the street in front of it, enhanced by undead magic, were all neatly sliced in two, their soul fires extinguished.

Vasilian had suddenly acted, using his spiritual power of 140 to fully condense his Black Blade, now upgraded to a first-ring level, instantly cleaving all the skeleton knight squires in half, the invisible death energy sword wind even severing the Skeleton King's crown.

The Skeleton King, as an undead lord, looked at Vasilian in terror.

The first-ring-level death energy released by Vasilian made it understand that Vasilian was a non-living, non-dead being of a much higher level than itself.

The Skeleton King let out a terrified sound. "This, how can this outsider be so powerful? This is… this is…"

"This is an undead lord even more advanced than me, then his master must be an extremely powerful necromancer."

In the next moment, the Skeleton King actually knelt down to Su Nan. "Great necromancer, I have been trapped in this world, unable to leave. I have long wanted to leave, please take me away."

"Please allow me to join your ranks."

Su Nan looked at it. It seemed that this Skeleton King was indeed a high-level undead newly born in this undead town over the past two thousand years.

Clearly, in this high-density undead land, constantly absorbing souls from outside Corfu Island, it had become an undead land of raising Gu.

This Skeleton King was one of the strongest to emerge from this intense competition, hence its spiritual power could reach 90.

Because in such intense competition, it should have devoured the soul fires of many other undead.

Mary watched the suddenly kneeling Skeleton King speechlessly. When she entered this town, she was beaten up by various undead creatures every night. She never received such treatment from an undead lord bowing to her.

Mary looked at Su Nan.

However, it was very normal for undead creatures to willingly submit to powerful necromancers.

On the street, Su Nan did not immediately respond to the Skeleton King's request, but instead asked, "How did you raise your spiritual power to 90? Have you studied meditation techniques?"

The Skeleton King shook its head in confusion. "I don't think I've studied it. I was originally just an ordinary skeleton undead in an undead town. I was muddleheaded and didn't have much self-awareness. But in my daze, out of instinct, I devoured many of my kind's soul fires. Suddenly, one day, I developed an animal-like consciousness. I began to actively devour the soul fires of my kind, and later I became intelligent."

"I began to actively think."

"I thought about many things. I searched and found a lot of information left in the town by that necromancer, so I learned a lot of things, even some spell models left by that necromancer, which are the three spells I just cast. But after each cast, I must continue to devour the soul fires of my kind, otherwise I simply cannot recover my mana."

"That's it, my master."

The Skeleton King knelt on the ground, soul fire flickering in its skeleton eye sockets.

Clearly, the Skeleton King had a heart of worship for the necromancer who indirectly passed on knowledge to it.

So when it saw that this outsider was actually a necromancer, and also had an undead subordinate more advanced than itself, it immediately lost its hatred for the living and instead became very eager to become Su Nan's undead subordinate.

Su Nan sized up the Skeleton King. It seemed that this Skeleton King had raised its spiritual power to this level by devouring the soul fires of its kind.

This was also normal.

All roads lead to Rome.

Improving one's spiritual power isn't limited to meditation; it's just the easiest path.

For example, take this Skeleton King. It restores its spiritual power by devouring the soul fires of its own kind. In the process, it wastes far too many magical resources. Moreover, in this state, it will never have the chance to break through its soul's limits and become a Rank 1 creature.

However, this guy seems to have formed naturally, a high-level undead with intelligence. It's an anomaly that happened to emerge during the long years in the Undead Town, so Souan does indeed have the idea of taking him in.

Souan said, "Alright. Then I'll take you in. Open your soul fire and let me place a soul brand on it."

This is the common method for necromancers to subdue undead.

Immediately, the Skeleton King opened its soul fire to Souan, allowing Souan's magic to enter its most core area. Clearly, the Skeleton King itself was very afraid.

This is equivalent to placing his neck willingly on Souan's sword.

Therefore, the Skeleton King's own skeletal body was also trembling.

However, after Souan placed the brand and helped it reseal its soul fire, the Skeleton King felt relieved because Souan had no intention of killing it while he had the chance.

Just as the Skeleton King was about to speak, the roar of a Bone Wyvern suddenly echoed from the sky.

Souan looked up at the sky and saw a Bone Wyvern flying towards him.

Clearly, the Bone Wyvern is the master of this Undead Town, responsible for creating and controlling high-level undead creatures, and it is also Souan's target this time.

Upon discovering Souan, the Bone Wyvern immediately attacked him without any room for negotiation.

Unlike the Skeleton King, which is a native undead and doesn't recognize the necromancer Brutus, the Skeleton King simply surrendered because it saw Souan's power.

The previous attack on Marie was only due to its hatred for the living.

But that Bone Wyvern's duty is probably to eliminate those who intrude into the Undead Town.

Among the collapsing and dilapidated buildings of the town, a middle-aged man suddenly poked his head out from a street corner. Dressed in old aristocratic attire, the middle-aged man said to Souan and the others with a worried expression, "Outsiders."

"I am Anthony, the town chief."

"That mad Skeleton Dragon will attack us. You must follow me quickly. I'll take you to a safe place, an absolutely safe place that the Bone Wyvern can't enter."

"Follow me quickly."

"Outsiders, trust me, I'm not your enemy, I'm your friend. This Undead Town is controlled by the necromancer Brutus; he is our enemy."

Hearing the name of Town Chief Anthony, Marie's eyes flashed with a strange light. In the surface town, the kind Mr. and Mrs. Gaius said that Town Chief Anthony didn't welcome outsiders, but in the deep town, this Town Chief Anthony seemed very enthusiastic towards them?

Do all the residents of the deep town have reversed personalities compared to those in the surface town?

Souan looked at Town Chief Anthony.

Town Chief Anthony looked anxious and said to Souan and Marie and the others, "What are you waiting for? Follow me quickly, hurry, hurry."

Souan smiled and said to Town Chief Anthony, "I think our enemy is you."

"I finally know what happened to this town."

"The real murderer who killed the necromancer Brutus, a Rank 1 wizard... Mr. Anthony."

Town Chief Anthony suddenly fell silent.

At the same time, Souan pointed to the Bone Wyvern in the sky and said, "That Wyvern is the guardian of this town. The only person who would be as wary of its attack as we are is you, another intruder."

"Am I right?"

Town Chief Anthony's face turned gloomy, and he began to curse in frustration.

"Damn it, damn it. Everything is going against my wishes, as if everyone is my enemy. I just want to get that treasure, I just want to improve my aptitude and become a Rank 2 wizard. What did I do wrong!"

"Originally, I wanted to use you to help me find that wizard tower. Even if I die, I will find that treasure, the one that Brutus hid and refused to give me even in death."

"It is a treasure that can give one the potential to become a Rank 2 wizard!"

"It's because of that treasure that we all ended up like this."

Souan said, "So you wanted to take revenge on him. You turned him into a useless drunkard at the town entrance and turned his wife into a female slave in his own Undead Town, allowing his good friend from his past life to abuse her as her master every day."

Anthony widened his eyes. "How did you guess that?"

Souan said, "It's not hard to guess. Since this town has been invaded and you have exposed yourself."

"Since the town chief of both towns is you, it's natural to guess the identities of the other two special existences: the female slave Tia and the lazy man at the village entrance."

"You kept these two in the same town, yet they were worlds apart. Tia was chained by you in the Gaius's house, while Brutus had his memory affected by you, spending his days drunk at the town entrance, not knowing who he was waiting for."

"Am I right?"

Town Chief Anthony stared at Souan, his face incredibly gloomy, his gaze filled with resentment.

Souan looked at him and said, "And now you are thinking that you are already dead, and you cannot be a match for a living Rank 1 wizard."

"You are thinking about how to turn the tables."

"You are concocting another lie, you want me to believe your lie, but to be honest, your intelligence isn't quite up to par."

Town Chief Anthony became furious. "Why? How can you always know what I'm thinking!"

Souan looked at the Arcane Hyper-Intuition Ring on his hand.

At this moment, the brass ring shimmered with magical light.

Arcane Hyper-Intuition isn't divination, so it's impossible to directly guess all the truths within this town. But it can help one find clues faster during deduction and intuitively guess the most likely truth.

Moreover, after this Anthony turned into an undead, his thoughts became easier to guess. After all, the undead lack the protection of a physical body, making them more susceptible to hyper-intuitive predictions.

If it were in his lifetime, the perpetual defense field on his body should be able to interfere with my Arcane Hyper-Intuition Ring, preventing me from so easily guessing his thoughts based on hyper-intuition.

But the main thing is that this guy exposed himself, making it easy to predict him.

Souan said to Vasiliyan, "Bring him to me. I want to know what exactly that treasure he mentioned, the one that can help him break through and become a Rank 2 wizard, is."

Vasiliyan said, "Yes."

Town Chief Anthony cried out in alarm, "You dare! I... I... That Bone Wyvern is coming to attack you, outsider wizard, aren't you going to do anything?"
