Chapter 652: Chapter 181: Resentful Spirits Returning to Heart_4
Ah Dai asked, "What are her inherent skills exactly?"
Little Skeleton replied, "She has only three skills. The first is illusion technique, the second is soul devouring, and the third is spirit piercing. Master, don’t underestimate these three abilities. Especially the first one, the illusion technique. She can totally conjure up various images according to the person she’s dealing with, it’s truly dreadful. For instance, we fear the power of the Sky God the most, and she can mimic the power of a Six Wing Angel. Even if we know it’s fake, it can still greatly deflate our morale. Soul devouring and spirit piercing are two abilities she uses in combination. Her spirit piercing can ignore all defenses and directly attack the opponent’s soul. Then, she’ll use her soul devouring ability to completely break them apart. The reason why those high-level undead creatures dare not resist her is because they’re frightened of their souls being utterly obliterated by her. Perhaps only the highest level undead creatures don’t fear her. Master, if you face her, you must be cautious! Even the protective energy of the Dragon’s Blood won’t be able to stop her spirit piercing whose resentment pierces the skies." After listening to Little Skeleton’s narration, Ah Dai couldn’t help but frown. How could he believe that his solid battle aura and the protective energy of the Dragon’s Blood might not be able to block her piercing? Suddenly, he remembered the Ring of Guardian that Xuan Yue possessed. The absolute defense of the Ring of Guardian, which is the unique skill of the divine artifact, is reputed to block all attacks. Surely, even if the undead fairy was more powerful, she would not be able to penetrate it. Thinking of this, Ah Dai immediately said confidently, "Leaving aside that, I have another question. What is this Undead Handbook you speak of? Why is it that with this handbook, one can control so many powerful undead creatures?"
With a sigh, the Little Skeleton replied, "The Undead Handbook is the nemesis of all undead creatures. It was originally a magical treasure carried by Lord Hades himself in the Demon Realm. It could be considered a high-level divine artifact. The energy it possesses is incredibly strange. It might not be powerful, but it can control any undead creature, even ordinary members of the Demon Clan. Its main feature is the mental shock. Intellectual undead creatures like us know that if we do not obey the commands of the Head of the Dark Saint Church, we will meet a miserable fate. If we are attacked by the Undead Handbook, our spiritual imprint would completely disappear, and we would not be able to transcend. Even the most powerful undead creatures cannot resist the divine power of the handbook. Otherwise, how could those people from the Dark Saint Church be able to control us?"
Ah Dai became thoughtful and asked, "So, if I snatch the Undead Handbook from the hands of the Head of the Dark Saint Church, these undead will no longer be under the control of the handbook, right?"
Little Skeleton chuckled and responded, "You shouldn’t say ’you,’ but ’they.’ We resentful spirits now have bodies. The Undead Handbook can no longer pose a threat to us, which is one of the reasons why I’m so excited. You’re right. As long as you snatch the Undead Handbook, no undead will obey the commands of the Dark Saint Church and might even attack them. The Dark Saint Church’s methods of controlling us are extremely despicable yet clever. It seems that they directly control the highest level undead creatures and then exert pressure downwards level by level. We, out of fear of the handbook and the top-level undead creatures, dare not disobey. Those unintelligent undead creatures are forced to unconditionally comply."
After listening to Little Skeleton’s words, Ah Dai already had a rough understanding of the Dark Saint Church. He knew that his mission this time was essentially accomplished. At the very least, he knew that the Dark Saint Church had established its headquarters within the Death Mountain Range, just as Luo Shui had said. With this information, he could report back to the Pope and plead with him to lead the elite humans on the mainland here to eradicate the Dark Forces.
"Master, may I ask you for something?" Little Skeleton sounded rather upset.
Awakened from his thoughts, Ah Dai said, "Go ahead."
Little Skeleton continued, "Well, I know you will lead the humans to the Death Mountain Range to annihilate the Dark Forces. However, I implore you to avoid killing as many undead creatures as possible. Quite a large portion of undead creatures are not inherently evil. They’re just trapped as undead creatures. The low-level skeletons, bone birds, and zombies can no longer be saved. The Polar Undead Spiders, who are inherently very evil, are also beyond redemption. But those highly intelligent high-level undead might not all be evil! Even though they belong to the undead world, I hope you won’t exterminate them ruthlessly. Can you promise me this?"
Ah Dai smiled faintly, responding, "Didn’t you just say that high-level undead creatures are very formidable? Why are you still afraid that we would be able to deal with them?"
Little Skeleton said: "Although they are very powerful, you are the Savior of the entire continent! Under your leadership, I doubt there would be any obstacles that could halt the advancement of humanity. I just hope that humans could reduce the slaughter of us Undead Creatures as much as possible, even woo some of them. I am willing to help you and prevent them from opposing humans. That way, humans can also reduce many losses!"
Ah Dai replied: "I will consider it. As long as the Undead Creatures are willing to cooperate with us, I naturally wouldn’t conduct a massacre against them. If possible, I might even help them, like I helped you, to allow them to be reborn and no longer be undead."
The mood of Little Skeleton suddenly became exceptionally excited, "Really, really? That’s great! With your words, I believe that I can surely help you. Master, you don’t know, as Undead Creatures, although we have endless life, we also have endless loneliness. For us, if we could be reincarnated, even if it’s just becoming a pig, it’s still better than staying in this dead silent place! I think, even high-level Undead Creatures would also wish the same."
Ah Dai nodded, saying: "However, the threat of the Undead Handbook on Undead Creatures is too great. I think they won’t easily believe in me. After all, it’s terrifying that the Spiritual Imprint could be completely erased."
The Originally excited mood of Little Skeleton immediately fell, he sighed and said: "Yes! I’m afraid they won’t believe in your strength and sincerity. But, I’ll try my best. The next time you enter the Death Mountain Range, make sure to summon me out, I should be able to help you."
Ah Dai nodded, saying: "I will. You watch over Sheng Xie in the Divine Dragon’s Blood, I need to regain control over my body." Without deliberately controlling, a thought from Ah Dai moved, already freeing himself from the blue energy of the Divine Dragon’s Blood, he sank into his Sea of Consciousness. What he saw before him turned white all around, Ah Dai felt like his body was seemingly floating on a cloud, filled with a sense of nothingness. After an unknown period of time, everything in front of him gradually became clear, his consciousness was still in his Sea of Consciousness, but his Golden Body had disappeared. Although the scene didn’t change, Ah Dai knew that he had successfully regained control of his body and was currently in an introspective state. Feeling the massive energy contained in the Golden Body within him, Ah Dai was moved. With the help of Little Skeleton, whose body is possessed by a resentful spirit, it would be easier to deal with the Dark Forces in the future. Calmingly circulating True Qi within his body for a complete cycle, Ah Dai gradually moved from introspection into reality.
As he shifted his consciousness back to the external world, the first thing Ah Dai felt was that his body was somewhat stiff. It seemed like he has been lying down for quite a long time. Warmth continued to transmit from his body, stimulating his skin and making him feel extremely comfortable.
"Ah Dai, you have to wake up soon! Do you know how worried Yue Yue is? Ah Dai, I really want you to wake up and talk to me! The Divine Dragon said that you would be in a coma for a while, but this is too long, it’s already been forty-nine days, a full forty-nine days, I, I..." The sobbing voice came, Ah Dai clearly identified, this was Yue Yue’s voice.
Ah Dai felt his heart stir, slowly opened his eyes, what he saw gradually transitioned from blurry to clear. Sounds of water emerged, what he saw was the slender and rounded back of Xuan Yue as she was washing a towel in a water basin. Ah Dai was shocked to discover that he was absolutely naked, even the Sword of Hades and the Giant Spirit Snake Armor were not present.
