Chapter 1580: Chapter 181 Resentful Spirits Return to Loyalty_4
Ah Dai asked, "What abilities does she excel in?"
Little Bone said, "She only has three abilities. The first is Illusion Technique, the second is Soul Devouring, and the third is Spirit Piercing. Master, do not underestimate these three abilities. Especially the first Illusion Technique. She can completely transform into various forms based on the person she’s dealing with, and it’s terrifying. For example, our greatest fear is the energy from the Sky God, and she can transform into the ability of a Six Wing Angel. Even if we know it’s fake, our morale would plummet. Soul Devouring and Spirit Piercing are two abilities used in combination. Her Spirit Piercing can ignore all defenses and directly attack the opponent’s soul, then use the Soul Devouring ability to completely disintegrate the opponent. Those high-level Undead Creatures dare not challenge her because they fear their souls would be destroyed completely. Probably only the highest-level Undead Creatures wouldn’t fear her. Master, if you’re facing her, you must be cautious! Even the protective energy of Dragon’s Blood cannot stop her spirit-piercing resentment." After hearing Little Bone’s description, Ah Dai couldn’t help but frown. He couldn’t believe that the Solid Battle Aura and protective energy of Dragon’s Blood couldn’t block her piercing. With a thought, Ah Dai remembered Xuan Yue’s Ring of Guardian on her hand, which claims Absolute Defense against any attack—the only special ability of this Divine Artifact. No matter how strong the Undead Fairy is, it can’t penetrate, right? Thinking of this, Ah Dai felt suddenly confident and said, "Let’s not talk about this for now. I have another question. What exactly is the Undead Handbook you mentioned? How can this handbook control so many powerful Undead Creatures?"
Little Bone sighed, "The Undead Handbook is truly a bane for all Undead Creatures. It was originally Hades’ personal Magical Treasure from the Demon Realm and can be considered a high-level Divine Artifact. The energy it possesses is very peculiar. Although not powerful, it can control any Undead Creatures, even ordinary Demon Clan members. Its greatest feature is spiritual impact. We intelligent Undead know that if we do not follow the command of the Head of the Dark Saint Church, we will die miserably. Once attacked by the Undead Handbook, our Spiritual Imprint will completely disappear, never to be reincarnated. Even the strongest Undead Creatures can’t resist the handbook’s Divine Power! Otherwise, how could the people of the Church of the Dark Saint control us?"
Ah Dai’s heart stirred, and he said, "So if I snatch that Undead Handbook from the hands of the Head of the Dark Saint Church, you Undead won’t be controlled anymore, right?"
Little Bone chuckled, "You shouldn’t say ’you’, you should say ’they’. We Resentful Spirits now have bodies, and the Undead Handbook can no longer threaten us. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited. You’re right; if we seize the Undead Handbook, no Undead will obey those of the Church of the Dark Saint anymore and may even attack them. The Church of the Dark Saint’s method of controlling us is very low, yet clever. It seems they directly control two types of high-level Undead Creatures, then pressure down layer by layer through them. We are intimidated by the handbook and the might of high-level Undead Creatures and dare not disobey. Those mindless Undead Creatures can only follow unconditionally."
After listening to Little Bone’s words, Ah Dai already had a general understanding of the Church of the Dark Saint. He knew that his mission could be considered complete for now. At the very least, he learned that, as Luo Shui said, the Church of the Dark Saint had stationed their headquarters in the Death Mountain Range. With this information, he could return to report to the Pope and urge the Pope to lead the continent’s human elite here to annihilate the Dark Forces.
"Master, may I ask you for one favor?" Little Bone said somewhat sorrowfully.
Ah Dai awakened from his thoughts and said, "Go ahead."
Little Bone said, "It’s like this: I know you will lead humans to the Death Mountain Range to destroy those Dark Forces, but I want to implore you to try to slaughter fewer Undead Creatures. A large portion of Undead Creatures isn’t evil; they just became Undead Creatures out of helplessness. Low-level Skeletons, Bone Birds, and Zombies are beyond saving, as are the inherently evil Polar Undead Spiders. But those high-level Undead with great intelligence might not all be evil! Though they belong to the Undead World, I also hope that you won’t exterminate them completely. Can you promise me that?"
Ah Dai smiled slightly and said, "Didn’t you say high-level Undead Creatures are very strong? Why are you worrying about us dealing with them?"
Little Bone said, "Though they are powerful, you are the Savior of the entire continent! With you leading, no hardship can stop humanity’s progress, I only hope humanity can reduce their slaughter of our Undead Creatures as much as possible. You could even recruit some Undead. I’m willing to assist you in preventing them from opposing humanity. This way, humanity can reduce many losses!"
Ah Dai said, "I will consider it. As long as the Undead Creatures are willing to cooperate with us, I certainly won’t slaughter them. If possible, maybe I could even help them, like I helped you, allowing them to reincarnate and no longer be Undead."
Little Bone’s emotion suddenly turned exceptionally excited, "Really, really? That would be wonderful; with your promise, I think I can surely help you. Master, you don’t know, being an Undead Creature, though we have endless life, we also have endless loneliness. For us, if we can be reborn, even as a pig, it would be better than staying in this desolate place! I believe even high-level Undead Creatures must think the same."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "But the Undead Handbook is such a huge threat to the Undead Creatures, I think they may not easily trust me, after all, having one’s Spiritual Imprint erased is terrifying."
Little Bone’s previously excited mood suddenly sank. He sighed and said, "Yes, it’s the fear of them not trusting your strength and sincerity. But I will do my best. Next time you enter the Death Mountain Range, you must summon me. I should be able to help you a bit."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I will. Stay within the Dragon’s Blood and guard Sheng Xie; I need to regain control of my body now." Without needing deliberate control, Ah Dai’s thoughts moved, and he detached from the blue energy of Dragon’s Blood, sinking back into his Sea of Consciousness. Everything turned into a hazy white; Ah Dai felt his body seemed to be floating in the clouds, filled with a fleeting sensation. After some time, everything gradually became clear, though the Golden Body had disappeared. Even though the scene did not change, Ah Dai knew he had successfully reclaimed control of his body and was now focusing on internal vision. Sensing the immense energy contained within the Golden Body in his body, Ah Dai felt a wave of warmth. This time, with Little Bone possessing the Resentful Spirit, fighting against the Dark Forces would surely become easier. Regulating the flow of True Qi within his body, Ah Dai gradually returned from internal vision to reality.
Returning his thoughts to the outside world, Ah Dai’s first sensation was that his body felt a bit stiff, as if he had been lying down for quite a while. Warmth continuously seeped through, stimulating his skin, making him feel extremely comfortable.
"Ah Dai, you have to wake up soon! Do you know how worried Yue Yue is about you? Ah Dai, I really want you to wake up and talk to me! The Divine Dragon said you’ll be unconscious for a while, but this time seems too long. It’s already forty-nine days, a whole forty-nine days! I, I..." A sobbing voice reached him, and Ah Dai clearly recognized it as Yue Yue’s voice.
Ah Dai felt a surge of emotions and slowly opened his eyes, gradually gaining clarity from the confusion. He heard the sound of water. In front of him, he saw Xuan Yue’s slender and smooth back; she was washing a towel in a basin. Ah Dai was astonished to find himself completely naked, even without the Sword of Hades or the Giant Spirit Snake Armor.
