Chapter 404 - The Humerus Wyrm in the dark
The worst thing was that Lin Li realized from Adelo’s words that this was not an unchanging cycle. Rather, it had a snowballing effect, and the Undead creatures created by this Gloomy Dark would become increasingly powerful, and one day overpower the restraints of the Gloomy Dark. They’d walk out of the Scar of Death and turn the Blackstone Mountains into the land of the Undead. They might even head down the Blackstone Mountains and attack nearby villages and cities…
If things got to that state, then the Malfa Family would be in for a ride. The Blackstone Mountains were only half a day’s journey from Aminya City, and if the Undead creatures left the Blackstone Mountains, their first target would definitely be Aminya City. It’d then be too late, for the Undead creatures were not like the army of the Ledin Kingdom, where negotiation was an option if they could not beat them—once these Undead creatures attacked a city, even the most prosperous one would be turned into ruins overnight.
Aminya City was the root of the Malfa Family’s existence, and if it was destroyed, so was the Malfa Family.
The Malfa Family would never allow such a thing to happen, and even though not many things in the world could attract the Legendary-realm Cheyenne, even he was concerned over this matter, and was trying all sorts of ways to stop this tragedy before it became too late.
“Let me think…” Lin Li’s mind was in a mess now. He had already sorted out his thoughts earlier, but was now confused again by Adelo’s words.
It seemed like this whole thing about the Scar of Death was much more complicated than he had originally thought. Initially, he’d thought that the Gloomy Dark was the ruler of the Scar of Death, and once he had control over the Gloomy Dark, he would be able to control the whole Scar of Death, but that did not seem to be the case anymore.
The altar that Adelo spoke of seemed to be the one that truly controlled the Undead creatures, and it was the true core of the research base. The Gloomy Dark was at most a source of power for the research base, just like Wyrm Magical crystal in the Eternal Furnace.
Just as Adelo quickened his steps to run towards the light, a strong wind started blowing in the air, and everybody felt as though they had been thrown into a pile of bones. The strong stench of decay the wind carried was like that of countless corpses piled together.
“My God…” Adelo looked up in shock, and the look of happiness on his face froze…
A large being swept past in the air, and its huge wings spread, covering everyone in its shadow. In his shock, Adelo seemed to have heard a long growl, and saw ice blue flames fall from the sky. In a second, all he saw was a world of blue lights…
Only when the icy blue flames fell from the sky did Adelo realize that it was a Humerus Wyrm…
But it was all too late.
The flame of a Humerus Wyrm was comparable to Legendary magic in power, and once he was hit, he would crack instantly even if he was made of steel.
All of this happened too quickly. Adelo had been lost in happiness, and had never thought that there would be a real Humerus Wyrm hidden in this dark. Moreover, this Humerus Wyrm was incredibly sinister, creeping up on them without a sound before attacking.
This is it… As the icy blue flames fell, that was the only thought in Adelo’s mind.
