Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 297 - 295: Pale Corpse

Swoosh!

The pale giant opened its wide mouth, and thick blood poured down like a waterfall, suddenly a human body got stuck in its throat. Then, with the sound of "crack, crack," it forcibly squeezed the human body out with its throat bones.

Boom!

The body hit the ground; it appeared to be a naked young woman.

The Transcendents lurking in the darkness were about to take a closer look when they heard a retching sound. The pale giant had started again.

Boom!

The same scene, the same noise, a young man’s body hit the ground.

This time, the Transcendents didn’t look at the bodies and instead stared straight back at the giant’s mouth.

Sure enough, it hadn’t stopped.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

By the time the seventh dull thud came, the pale giant ceased vomiting. In front of it now lay a total of seven human bodies: a young couple, a fat man, a skinny man, a middle-aged man, an old man, and a child.

Each body was emitting light, different hues of light.

As the Transcendents’ gazes converged on them, in just a split second, the expressions of the crowd changed, and they averted their eyes.

From the darkness, came the screams of some Transcendents.

Clearly, recklessness came with a price.

The seven bodies could evoke different desires while also backfiring on the owner.

Tang Qi and Sally were also affected.

The difference was that their Power Level was too high, and they were immune almost instantly.

Fortunately, the next moment, the pale giant began to take action.

It first approached the young couple, and with a "hiss" tore out its own eyes with its large hands. There were no screams, no wails, as if it wasn’t gouging out its own eyes. It bent down and felt around for the young couple’s eyes.

The next moment, it gouged out a left eye and a right eye.

As soon as the eyeballs left the corpses, they emitted a pale green and deep purple light, which the giant then pressed into its own sockets.

Then, it went to the fat corpse. First, it cut open its own abdomen, pulled out the rotten stomach and intestines, and casually discarded them. Then it took out the stomach and intestines from the fat man and started to forcefully stuff them into its own belly in a disorganized manner, the scene resembling a terrible surgery.

After bunching everything up and stuffing it in, its abdomen emitted red light and began to heal autonomously.

Next, it went to the skinny man. This time, it replaced the heart, a blue one that looked like a shattered gemstone.

At this point, the pale giant began to resemble the "scientific weirdo" from some urban legends.

The only difference was that it was cobbling together its own organs from corpses, whereas the scientific weirdo had a Scientist to assist.

While it did all this, no one stopped it.

Even as its actions caused a terrible radiation to emerge in this area.

In fact, with every organ it replaced, at the center of the church plaza, one more type of radiation would emerge.

If it weren’t for the barriers set up by various factions here, the death toll would be climbing rapidly.

Witnessing its actions, the "Bright Heavy Armor Knight" just a step away had no intention of stopping it, merely watching coldly.

Watching it replace another spine, a leg bone, and a hand bone.

Once the replacements were finished, the seven bodies it had vomited out vanished silently from the ground.

A completely renewed "pale giant" stood in front of the Heavy Armor Soldier.

It was as if it had regained its humanity.

Even though the pale giant at this moment, just like the scientific weirdo, with glowing eyes, an inflated abdomen, a leg and a hand that were just bone with no flesh... looked more like an incredibly hideous half-finished monster.

But the dangerous aura emanating from its body was several times more intense than yesterday’s "Ragnar Descendant."

Transcendents of lesser strength couldn’t even look directly at it.

A single glance was enough to trigger desire and backlash.

Tang Qi and Sally, of course, were exceptions.

Still, he was full of surprise, looking at the streams of Information Fragments passing beneath his eyes.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Pale Corpse.]

[State: Merged Parasitic.]

[Information Fragment One: It is a Curiosity in itself, a very special corpse that can accommodate Extraordinary Power and also block the curse.]

[Information Fragment Two: It is now occupied by a total of seven Extraordinary Powers, which happens to be the limit for compatibility with the Pale Corpse.]

[Information Fragment Three: The Pale Corpse can perfectly unleash those seven Extraordinary Powers and has at least seven minutes to avoid the curse.]

[Information Fragment Four: The seven powers come from the Seven Ancestor Descendants, symbolizing seven desires.]

...

"Sure enough, it’s the turn of the Seven Ancestor Descendants tonight."

As Tang Qi completed this thought, the Pale Corpse in front of the Church spoke.

Although incredibly ugly, it was very polite.

It bowed, giving the Heavy Armor Knight a salute, then unexpectedly, from that dreadful mouth came a magnetic voice that was easy to like.

"Seven minutes!"

"Unlike the rash man from the Ragnar Family last night, esteemed Heavy Armor Knight, we have a full seven minutes of Combat time."

"If you hold me back tonight, the Church will get several days to relocate. This is our final concession, and you understand, don’t you? If it weren’t for the curse, Mr. Heavy Armor Soldier doing well enough to stop two Elders would be impressive, but we... have more than twelve Elders."

"If you can’t hold me back, we’ll be entering tonight."

Seemingly considering seven minutes too generous, it didn’t launch the attack immediately, but it emphasized in a sentence.

Its words aroused some discontent among the Beast Shadows in the sky.

Threat-laden cold snorts arose, only to be ignored by the pale corpse.

However, no voice of objection came from the Beast Shadows, meaning this was a unanimous condition set by the descendants of the twelve patriarchs.

The Church must evacuate.

This building, once part of Earl Castle, must stay behind.

After the pale corpse finished speaking, it seemed ready to observe the reaction of the Heavy Armor Soldier.

What it saw was a slashing blade radiance, followed by a deep, icy voice.

"Agreed!"

With the word spoken, came that seemingly all-destructive sword.

The flash of the blade was as swift as its disappearance.

Clang!

The great sword was blocked, by a white hand bone shimmering with silvery gray.

Below it, the ugly face of the pale corpse emerged. With its eyes bursting into two radiant spheres, the previous politeness gone without a trace, it snarled with a fierce smile, roaring, "Disgusting Bright believers, I will tear apart that thick skin of yours!"

Roar!

The visibly resonating sound waves shattered the solid Barriers.

Unbelievably, the Heavy Armor Soldier staggered back two steps, a ghastly white leg bone stamped on his armor, bursting forth with Holy Light which quickly Shattered, leaving a distinctly dented area.

Before the watching Transcendents could be shocked, the pale corpse lunged forward, its abdomen suddenly splitting open to reveal an incredible Big Mouth, more fearsome than when "Gluttony" revealed its true form, as if it could swallow the entire Church whole.

Crimson skin, filled with serrated teeth packed densely and rotating like cogwheels.

The Heavy Armor Soldier was swallowed in a flash, tumbling into the huge stomach which landed with a hissing slicing sound. The Heavy Armor Soldier struggled inside, but the stomach’s hardness was surprisingly resistant, even to Holy Light and the Extraordinary Great Sword.

Just as the stomach was about to retract into the giant’s abdomen, an unprecedented surge of Holy Light pierced through.

Boom!

The stomach, possessing unbelievable strength, burst open, the Heavy Armor Soldier reemerging, his Armor pockmarked and corroded, with the Light Runes dimmed.

Still, the Heavy Armor Soldier turned and slashed again, the Holy Light withdrawn, yet the blade was even more terrifying.

The giant’s body was cleaved in two.

As the viscous blood attempted to fuse the split body, the Heavy Armor Soldier suddenly abandoned the great sword and lunged forward, chanting under his helmet. The dim Holy Light returned with intensity tenfold, as the Heavy Armor Soldier became like a Light Ball.

He embraced the pale corpse willingly.

But this embrace inflicted terrible damage on the giant.

Every strand of Holy Light, like sharp arrows, allowed the giant to experience the sensation of thousands of arrows piercing its body.

One after another, large holes appeared in the pale corpse’s body.

It finally started to wail, madness in its hideous face as it released everything.

Hiss! Hiss!

The pale hand and leg bones pierced through the armor and into the flesh.

The heart, like a shattered gemstone, reached its Critical Point and exploded dramatically, countless blue Light Points erupting at close range, creating a dense pattern of holes in the already damaged armor.

"Die!"

The final strike was launched by two eyeballs that abruptly detached from the corpse, merged before the Heavy Armor Soldier’s helmet, and then exploded.

Along with the explosion were five other beams of light.

Boom!

The mix of Light, Flames, and Holy Light created a distorted turmoil, and the Church square that had just been repaired the previous night was instantly stripped of a layer, with the chaotic forces tearing apart nearly everything, including the layers of Barriers.

...

Pop!

The breakthrough Light Point hit the last Barrier, its power exhausted.

In the shadows, the dazed Transcendents all turned their gaze toward the center of the square in front of the Church, now completely reduced to Ruins.

There, only one figure remained.

The pale corpse was gone.

The Heavy Armor Soldier, too, was nowhere to be seen.

In the midst of the Ruins stood a short old man, his upper body naked and covered with countless scars, including his face. He was bald, but no one would find the old man hideous, for everyone could only see.

The old man’s bright eyes shone with unspeakable tenacity and Light.

Eyes that could make any Criminal feel ashamed of themselves.

Around him lay the utterly Shattered armor.

The old man did not care, nor did he look at the sky or the ground, nor the descendants of the Twelve Ancestors who had yet to disperse. He grasped the great sword in one hand, lifting it lightly, still resting it on his shoulder, walking toward the inside of the Church. No one felt his figure was small; to the Transcendents, it was clearly an imposing figure, tall as a mountain.

"Ascetic!"

Inside the apartment, Tang Qi suddenly exclaimed.

No one could have imagined that a Heavy Armor Soldier was, in essence, an Ascetic, just like Martin Sims.

Tang Qi no longer looked outside; the outcome was clear.

The victor was the Church.

Even though several days later, the Church would choose to move away from "Earl Castle".

But no Transcendent would underestimate the Church; they were too terrifying.
