Chapter 1248: Chapter 63: Necromancer Sage
The veins on the face of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming bulged, his entire body tensed, intending to break free from the Boundary Line. Ordinarily, if the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming exerted such force to escape the Boundary Line, he would have been squeezed into a sausage shape, but the reality was different. The Boundary Line wasn’t even cutting into his skin, instead, it was blocked by a faintly discernible layer of gray energy.
Su Xiao first kicked the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming to the ground, then stepped on his back, thrusting the Dragon Slash directly towards the opponent’s throat.
Clang!
The hard sensation was transmitted from the knife tip to the handle, finally exerting force on Su Xiao’s hand. It was obvious that brute force was useless, so he attempted to use Blue Steel Shadow energy to devour this energy.
The result was not optimistic. The Blue Steel Shadow couldn’t devour this layer of energy, or rather, it couldn’t penetrate this energy.
Su Xiao knocked on the surface of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming with his knuckles. The sensation was very hard; this guy seemed to be protected inside a shell.
The Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming was bound by the Boundary Line and stepped under Su Xiao’s foot, clearly panicking. It wasn’t devoid of emotions; it also knew fear. However, compared to fear, its hatred for humans was much stronger.
Su Xiao couldn’t think of a way to resolve the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming for a moment. Perhaps attaching an Apollo to him would work, but it seemed a bit wasteful.
The Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming was like a turtle, and the kind whose shell covered 100% of its body. freewёbnoνel.com
At this moment, Su Xiao noticed a small cloud of dust being blown up from the ground; it was blown up by the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming exhaling.
"So, you need to breathe too."
Su Xiao initially thought the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming was a semi-undead type of creature. Now it seemed the opponent was a ’living’ creature, just with an extraordinarily long life span, so long that its emotions became paralyzed, yet today, the emotion of fear was gradually being awakened by Su Xiao.
Su Xiao took out three gas masks from the storage space. After putting one on himself, he tossed the remaining two to Bubu Wang and A Mu, gesturing for Elisa to stay away.
After A Mu put on the gas mask, he went forward to sit on the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s legs. Su Xiao stepped on his back. Bubu Wang hesitated for a moment, then used his paw to give the middle finger to the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming; this silly dog had been shaking with fear after being hammered by the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming, hesitating to go forward. This goofball was certainly a unique kind among its canine kind.
Su Xiao retrieved an iron can from the storage space. After shaking it, he secured it with his fingers on top.
Hiss~
A red mist sprayed onto the mouth and nose of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming. As a mini-boss, the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming was indeed the disgrace of the boss community.
The Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming knew these red mists weren’t good, so he held his breath, but Su Xiao didn’t care at all. This can could spray for at least ten minutes, and there were nine cans in total. If this guy had the guts, he’d keep holding his breath.
After ten minutes, a large area around Su Xiao was filled with red mist. He took out another can of spray and continued to spray, maintaining the concentration of the red mist.
After holding his breath for a full forty minutes, the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s body began to tremble, basically already powerless to struggle.
Handling the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming in this way was indeed a helpless move. Su Xiao had tried numerous methods with that layer of energy on the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s body, but it just wouldn’t break, so he could only weaken the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming with toxic mist.
An hour later, the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming still remained breathless. As long as he didn’t breathe and used that unknown energy to seal his nose and mouth, there was nothing Su Xiao could do.
At this moment, the gray energy layer on the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s body gradually faded away, and with a crack, the energy layer shattered.
Su Xiao stabbed his long knife into the chest of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming. The long knife pierced through the heart of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming. Su Xiao quickly withdrew the knife and slashed at the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s throat with another strike.
After a few slashes to vital points, the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming lost his voice.
[You have killed the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming.]
[You have obtained Ancient Undead Essence x5.]
...
Su Xiao picked up the Ancient Undead Essence from the ground. The energy on the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming’s body disappeared because Bubu Wang found the source of this energy.
This energy was not from inside the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming but was linked to a device in a side hall of the Tianzhen Temple.
The toxic mist gradually dissipated. Bubu Wang, wearing a special gas mask, emerged from the side hall and signaled to Su Xiao that he had found something new inside the side hall.
Su Xiao walked to the side hall. It was a closed stone room of several dozen square meters in size, with a hidden door at the entrance. Without careful observation, one wouldn’t easily discover it.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the side hall, he discovered a half-meter-tall gray energy column inside. The energy column was already half-destroyed, and bite marks were visible on it.
It was because of this object that the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming remained nearly invincible. Once this object was damaged, his ’invincibility’ would disappear.
Previously, Su Xiao was still puzzled. Given the strength of the Angel of Sky-shaking·Ming, it was unlikely he had such an almost invincible ability; it didn’t make sense.
Crackling sounds...
A slight cracking sound came from a nearby wall, and Su Xiao raised his knife towards the source.
On the wall was a slightly protruding humanoid sculpture, as if it were carved out of the stone wall itself, protruding about ten centimeters.
Now, numerous cracks appeared around the sculpture, and it seemed like the sculpture was about to break free from the stone wall.
With a pop, rubble flew everywhere as the head of the humanoid sculpture protruded, separating from the stone wall. Its eyes opened, and it looked around in bewilderment.
"Hu...mans?"
The statue spoke. By appearance, it wasn’t actually a sculpture but had been assimilated and devoured by the stone wall.
Having just awakened, the statue was bewildered. In such an environment, Su Xiao instinctively positioned the Dragon Slayer slash in front of himself.
[Notification: You have activated the Necromancer Sage.]
[The Necromancer Sage is a neutral unit, attacking is prohibited.]
[The Temple Exchange Store is now open, this is a reward facility.]
[Verifying...]
[The energy hub of the Holy Temple has been destroyed. This area has become a safe point. Generating coordinates...]
...
The secret chamber where Su Xiao was located had been recognized by Reincarnation Paradise as a safe point, with coordinates being established. The reason for this was that the Original World did not belong to Reincarnation Paradise.
Once a Hunter or Contractor reached this world, as they continued to acquire the World Source, Reincarnation Paradise would gradually permeate this world. Upon reaching a certain extremity, this world would belong to Reincarnation Paradise, becoming a Trial World or War World type. When other Contractors entered this world in the future, it would no longer require such a high cost.
As pioneers, Su Xiao and his team naturally received certain privileges. For instance, the hidden area he was in: once this world belonged to Reincarnation Paradise, such hidden areas couldn’t be entered just by spending Paradise coins but would require an extremely exorbitant fee.
Su Xiao examined the stone statue on the wall; it seemed to be between a living and non-living thing. Upon realizing Su Xiao was looking at him, the statue even gave him a stiff smile.
"Open the Temple Exchange Store."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, a list appeared before his eyes.
