Chapter 540 - Two Demonic Weapons
GDK 540: Two Demonic Weapons
A piece of grey-white gravestone was embedded on Little Skeleton’s chest. The gravestone bore intricate and cryptic inscriptions on it and gave off an intense aura of death. It had formed some kind of connection with Little Skeleton’s soul, giving him an unconventional air of might.
After forcibly occupying all of Haley’s memories, although Han Shuo had yet to personally visit the Nethervalley, he was completely familiar with each and every stone inside the valley. He took only one look at the gravestone inside Little Skeleton’s chest and immediately cried out in surprise, “That gravestone in your chest, is it the one inside Nethervalley?”
The reason that Haley the basegod of death remained in Nethervalley for so long was that the valley contained a gravestone that possessed an unusual ability. That gravestone also had the miraculous ability to cause the element of death to converge. Therefore, Haley’s strength would increase more rapidly in the Nethervalley than anywhere else. He also stayed there as the gravestone could not be moved.
Overlooking its far smaller size and higher level of intricacy, that gravestone on Little Skeleton’s chest looked very much the same as the one in Nethervalley that Han Shuo remembered. Han Shuo asked so for that reason.
“Yes, father. As you have asked me to investigate the gravestone, I surveyed it using my soul for a while. Someway and somehow, this thing entered my body. It could help me absorb the energy of death around me faster. It’s very useful,” Little Skeleton replied.
Han Shuo was shocked. He recalled that Haley had spent nearly forever on it, and yet he couldn’t move it even an inch, hence he stayed in Nethervalley. Who could have predicted that in just that little while Little Skeleton was in Nethervalley, he would manage to miniaturize that elephantine gravestone and put it into his body, and even turn it into a wonderful treasure that could grow his strength. These facts were far from Han Shuo had anticipated.
“Hmm, did you sense anything wrong with it? Could it turn out like the Purple Demon Eye where some mighty soul will suddenly emerge from it with the intention of occupying your soul?” Han Shuo questioned after thinking for a short while. He became instinctively alert of any peculiarity on Little Skeleton’s body after having encountered the sneak attack from the Purple Demon Eye.
“No. I even seem to understand some things through this gravestone. But as it wasn’t too long ago that I managed to put it into my body, I have yet to truly figure out the full story,” Little Skeleton replied.
After staring at Little Skeleton for a long while, Han Shuo put on a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, “Fine. Just be careful. There better not be any problems. Otherwise, we are going to be in deep trouble again.”
Even those with sufficiently powerful souls had to immediately seek a safe harbor to clear away the toxins of the Soulpiercer within a small window of time. The longer they left it untreated, the greater the injury in their souls. Even for godly experts whose souls had fused to become one with the elements, once hit by the soul-piercing spikes, would instantly and temporarily lose their ability to fight. Left long enough, their souls would be annihilated.
The Cyano Demonblaze was a weapon that could set vast areas ablaze with a cyan flame. It was a vicious demonic weapon that would cause anyone who made contact with the slightest speck of it to start burning from within.
These two types of demonic weapon were painstakingly refined after spending some materials found in the Abyss realm as well as some of Han Shuo’s time and effort. Pearls of Destruction were consumable and Han Shuo only had sixteen of them. Although they had tremendous power in the instant they exploded, they would be gone once used up. The Cyano Demonblaze, on the other hand, was activated using the Mystical Glacial Spellfire. Just like the Blood Seether, it required Han Shuo’s demonic yuan as the power source.
With these two types of demonic weapons, in addition to the two avatars he had, Han Shuo had ample confidence. He didn’t take those invaders to heart. Compared to Crosius and his people, Han Shuo appeared most calm and unruffled.
“Mister Han Shuo, is your so-called magical matrix completely deployed? Can it really bring out immense power just as you described?” Brakyah asked somewhat disdainfully, with his lips curled and his eyes narrowed on the dense stone forest, erect and decorated with colourful yet oddly-shaped banners outside War Demon Valley.
“Powerful or not, Mister Brakyah may step in there and try it for yourself. However, if you were to accidentally lose your life in there, I won’t be taking any responsibility,” Han Shuo giggled with ample confidence.
“I believe that Mister Han Shuo will surprise us!” From the looks of it, Crosius appeared to have full confidence in Han Shuo. However, his eyes looking at those densely gathered pillars of rocks told a different story. As Crosius didn’t have much of an idea as to how mighty magical matrices could be, what mattered the most to him was Han Shuo’s strength itself. He thought that Han Shuo was just taking advantage of the situation to plunder his weaponry resources and did not actually place his hopes on the magical matrix.
“Venomfang Castle will attack after half a day,” Han Shuo said confidently. When the party looked at him with puzzled eyes, he revealed a faint smile and said like a mystical seer, “I can feel it.”
