Within the cemetery of death that was littered with white bones, the wondrous building in front of them held a strong attraction for Duke. In that moment, Duke only cared about looking around in surprise and didn't continue to make a move against Han Shuo.
However, when Emily entered the cemetery of death, the first thing she did wasn't to observe the surroundings, but to fly in front of Han Shuo and ask anxiously, "Are you alright?"
If it was an ordinary person who fell from such a high altitude, perhaps they would've suffered some injuries. However, Han Shuo was completely unharmed. Shaking his head at Emily, Han Shuo stood up with a darkened face, his gaze firmly fixed on wind archmage Duke in the distance.
Duke was excitedly observing his surroundings. When senior swordsman Erick arrived next to him, he said joyfully, "This is the cemetery of death, there's no mistaking it. I didn't think that we'd actually be able to enter."
"Mister Duke, we've been researching for a long time and haven't discovered anything, but when the green light was emitted from that person's body, it seems that the boundary of the cemetery of death opened. It's very strange!" Erick looked at Han Shuo from afar and said lowly to Duke.
Nodding, Duke said, "Indeed, it looks like this person is a bit odd, and the green light just now gave me a familiar feeling. It seems to have come from the Eye of Darkness!"
When these words were spoken, Erick was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
Grasping the Demonslayer Edge in his hand, Han Shuo chanted an incantation and the seven winged Little Skull appeared, bone dagger in hand. Three zombie warriors appeared one after another, each holding a wooden club and standing side by side with the Little Skull, blocking in front of Han Shuo and Emily.
"You were the one who opened the boundary of the cemetery of death?" Emily let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Han Shuo was fine. She then thought back to the previous situation and asked Han Shuo with great confusion.
Nodding, Han Shuo's face darkened as he said, "That's right, the cemetery of death was opened by something on me. This time, Duke and Eric must die. Help me deal with Duke. I'll explain it to you after we kill them! "
Emily didn't ask anything after hearing Han Shuo's words. She obediently gripped her magic staff and stared at the approaching wind archmage Duke with a baleful expression.
"He's actually a Necromancer. Looks like he won't be easy to deal with!" Erick had fought with Han Shuo before and felt that Han Shuo's strength wasn't inferior to his own. Now that he saw Han Shuo even summon a zombie warrior, he said with a frown.
"Let's kill them first. We're excavating the secrets of the Cemetery of Death!" Duke snorted lightly, his body floating in the air as he rushed over. Eric didn't say anything else, he was just stunned for a moment, then he followed behind Duke and rushed over.
A melodious chant surged out of Emily's mouth. The magic staff in her hand suddenly shot out several snake-like strands of black air, entangling the flying Duke. When Duke saw the black aura approaching, his face became extremely solemn. A tornado suddenly formed in front of him, and the white bones on the ground flew up. The tornado swept towards the black aura, and all the black aura was sucked into it.
Snorting coldly, Emily said to Han Shuo, "Be careful." She also leapt into the air and waved the magic staff in her hand, starting a fierce battle with Duke in midair.
"Let's not sit around either." Han Shuo grinned and laughed. Little Skull had already surrounded Erick with the three zombie warriors. At the same time, Han Shuo used the original demons to look behind Erick and Duke, observing their every move.
"Do you think three zombies and a skeleton can stop me?" Erick exclaimed in disdain, the longsword in his hand blossoming with dark green fighting aura. His body was like a bulldozer, kicking up a cloud of dust as he charged towards Han Shuo.
Laughing coldly in his heart, Han Shuo used his mental strength to control the zombie warriors and Little Skull to block his path. The Little Skull, who should've been as fast as lightning, was deliberately controlled by Han Shuo, becoming as slow as the zombie warriors. Erick, who was flying over, formed a ball of light with his dark green fighting aura, enveloping one of the zombie warriors within.
The sound of bones shattering came from the body of the first zombie warrior. Under the effect of the dark green fighting aura, the first zombie warrior's body broke into several pieces like a stiff piece of wood. Tilting his body in disdain, Erick nimbly dodged the blows of the two zombie warriors' wooden sticks. With a thrust of his longsword, the other zombie warrior's neck was cut open, its body on the verge of collapse.
Little Skull approached with the bone knife in hand, leaning against the other zombie warrior. He raised the bone knife in his hand stiffly and swung it at Erick. Erick could easily handle even the zombie warriors. Now that the Little Skull raised the bone knife to stab at him, Erick didn't take it to heart at all. He casually raised his sword to block the attack with some impatience.
It was at this moment that the bone knife, which had been abnormally slow, suddenly sped up dozens of times. The originally stiff and slow Little Skull's body was now so nimble that it left him flabbergasted. Erick had just raised the longsword in his hand, but before he could make a move, the bone knife had already landed on his chest.
Erick retreated, scared out of his wits. However, he was still a beat too slow. With a "pfft", a large piece of flesh flew out of his chest. Erick cried out in pain and exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? What kind of skeletal warrior is this!"
Unfortunately, the Little Skull didn't have any reaction to Erick's exclamation. After the successful stab, it pressed forward relentlessly. Before Erick could steady himself, the Little Skull was already in front of him. When Erick condensed his fighting aura back into his longsword, the seven bone spikes on the Little Skull's back flew out at the same time. After making a semicircle, they all accurately stabbed into Erick's body.
The seven bone spikes pierced through Erick's neck, forehead, and heart. He didn't have time to release the fighting aura he had condensed, and his body fell straight down. Even in death, the fear on his face didn't disappear.
Duke and Emily, who were fighting, noticed the commotion at the same time. When they saw Erick die tragically with seven bone spikes, they were both shocked. However, accompanying the shock was Duke's worry and Emily's joy.
Emily had already witnessed the Little Skull's miraculous abilities last time. Even the dark archmage Emily was powerless against the Little Skull's pursuit. The Little Skull's agility and speed had long since left a deep impression on Emily. Now that she saw that the seven bone spikes on the Little Skull's back could even injure people, she had a deeper understanding of the mysteries of Han Shuo.
Duke was having a bit of a hard time dealing with Emily's attacks. He'd originally hoped that Erick would help him after taking care of Han Shuo. He hadn't thought that the battle-hardened Erick would die so quickly, and that Han Shuo, who was standing there, hadn't moved at all. This made Duke feel a bit flustered.
"What, you want to run? Can you get away today?" The original demons noticed that Duke's eyes were flickering after taking care of Erick. Han Shuo moved closer to Duke and looked at him with a supercilious smile, opening his mouth to mock.
Duke's face suddenly grew cold as his normally amiable features became slightly sinister. He stared at Han Shuo and said, "You're courting death!"
Many sharp bone fragments on the ground suddenly shot through the air towards Han Shuo with a wave of Duke's magic staff. The sound of breaking through the air was ear-piercing and the power was quite astonishing. When Emily saw that Han Shuo was under attack, she was even more nervous than Han Shuo as she chanted a dark magic spell.
A pitch black hole appeared out of thin air before the sharp bone fragments' attacks had even reached Han Shuo. All the bone fragments were attracted by the dark hole and were all sucked in.
Duke, who'd just released his attack, not only didn't continue to attack, but instead leapt out and fled. It looked like he'd seen that Emily was worried about Han Shuo, so he'd made a move to attack Han Shuo so that Emily could salvage the situation and then seize the opportunity to escape.
It was a pity that it was easy to enter the cemetery of death, but difficult to leave. The Eye of Darkness once again landed in Han Shuo's space ring. Without the help of the Eye of Darkness, even a wind archmage like him would be unable to undo the boundary.
With a bang, a green light shone from the barrier. Duke's body staggered as he was affected by the barrier's power. He could no longer maintain his levitation and fell from the sky. A few broken bones pierced his calf and waist, injuring him immediately.
"My condolences!" Han Shuo smiled coldly as he approached Duke and surrounded Duke with Emily's Little Skull. Han Shuo tore off the mask on his face and said, "Long time no see, benevolent Mister Duke!"
Duke cried out in pain and raised his head to see Han Shuo reveal his true face. He said fearfully, "How can it be you? I remember seeing you once at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. Aren't you that necromancy major student?"
Nodding, Han Shuo smiled darkly and said, "That's right, it's me." He took out the Eye of Darkness as he spoke and flashed it in his palm. He continued, "Last time in the cemetery behind the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, I was the little errand boy who found your tracks. Heh heh, Dylan's Eye of Darkness was buried underground and I obtained it in the end. You didn't think that I'd still be alive, did you? The tables have turned not too long ago! "
"So you've obtained the Eye of Darkness. No wonder the boundary of the cemetery of death was opened when your body lit up just now!" Duke said with sudden realization.
Three zombie warriors once again appeared. A total of four zombies and Little Skull slowly walked towards archmage Duke. Han Shuo aimed his crossbow at Duke while Emily chanted a dark magic incantation. Little Skull's seven bone daggers danced in the air, officially deciding Duke's death.
After the seven bone spurs flew out, Duke used wind blades to defend himself, but the four zombie warriors and the little skeleton's approach made him feel that it was quite troublesome.
When Han Shuo's crossbow shot out, it pierced through Duke's hastily dodging thigh and nailed him to the ground. Before Han Shuo could take out the Demonslayer Edge, Emily's dark magic enveloped Duke. Thick smoke rose from Duke's body in an instant and he became another set of ghastly white bones in the cemetery of death.
When Little Skull approached Duke, he took off the space ring from his bony finger and handed it over to Han Shuo along with senior swordsman Erick's pockets.
Emily's bright eyes stared fixedly at the Little Skull and froze for a while as she watched Little Skull's actions. She finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked Han Shuo with extreme curiosity, "Can you tell me just what's going on with this miraculous Little Skull warrior?"
"Heh heh, it's nothing much. I just used a secret art to refine it, that's why it's so miraculous!" Rubbing the Little Skull's smooth skull, Han Shuo smiled as he picked up the spoils of war and spoke carelessly.
Emily glared fiercely at Han Shuo and said huffily, "Just how many more things are you hiding from me? Why do you have the Eye of Darkness? Why can you refine such miraculous skeletal warriors? You're just a little necromancer, how can you have such uncommon martial arts? Just what is going on?"
At this point, some things had to be explained. Han Shuo explained everything that had happened in the necromancy major, including the discovery of the cemetery of death, to Emily. However, Han Shuo still didn't mention a word about how to refine the Little Skull and magical yuan.
These words greatly shocked Emily. While Emily was deep in thought, Han Shuo started searching through the items of wind archmages Duke and Erik.
But after a while, Han Shuo discovered that Erik was a pauper with nothing of value in his pockets. As an archmage, Duke should have some wealth, but he'd set up a magical boundary within his space ring. Han Shuo had no way of breaking through the boundary and obtaining any useful items within.
After a while, Emily's face was grave as she looked at Han Shuo, "Apart from you and me, who else knows that you've obtained the Eye of Darkness and can enter and exit the cemetery of death as you please?"
"No one else knows." Han Shuo looked at Emily and hesitated before asking, "What do you plan on doing?"
"Since this is the case, then we'll keep this a secret. Duke and Erik are dead anyways, and the thief sent by the organization to chase after them was also killed by Duke. No one knows of this matter even now. From now on, the cemetery of death will be a secret that you can enjoy alone. It's the foundation for you to train yourself and slowly control the Dark Forest. "Emily looked deeply at Han Shuo and said lowly.
After staring blankly for a while, Han Shuo smiled faintly and abruptly pulled Emily into his arms, chuckling, "You're my woman alright. I thought you'd want me to contribute the secret of the cemetery of death to the organization!"
Rolling her eyes unhappily at Han Shuo, Emily said, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? If you wanted to tell this secret to the organization, you would've done so a long time ago. Why would you wait until now to say it? I understand what this cemetery of death means to you. This cemetery of death is very important to your future development. Since we're already in this state, I naturally have to think for you. "
Han Shuo was truly a bit touched when he heard Emily's words. He thought to himself that women were indeed unreasonable creatures. Once their hearts and minds were captured, all of their previous perseverance would collapse with a bang. These words meant that between the Dark Mantle and Han Shuo, Emily had chosen Han Shuo. If Han Shuo and the Dark Mantle had a conflict one day, it looked like Emily could stand against the Dark Mantle for Han Shuo.
"Oh right, you said that the purpose of this trip was to investigate the whereabouts of that batch of weapons. I've used the Forest Troll this time and looted this batch of resources. Will this affect your mission? " Han Shuo thought for a moment when he saw that Emily was thinking for his sake. He suddenly remembered what Emily had said last time and opened his mouth to ask Emily about it.
Beaming with joy and giggling for a while, Emily looked at Han Shuo affectionately and said under Han Shuo's astonished gaze, "Bad boy, you finally know how to think for me. How nice!"
Han Shuo was speechless. He thought back to what had happened earlier and realized that he hadn't thought for Emily at all. He'd been thinking for himself from start to finish. Han Shuo felt a bit embarrassed when she said this and smiled awkwardly.
"You don't need to worry too much about this matter. I actually knew where this batch of resources was being sent to. I just wanted to catch him red-handed and make him have nothing to say. Although this batch of resources has been intercepted, many of the McGrady Guild's people have escaped. They'll certainly think of a way to redeem the siege items from the Forest Troll's hands.
If someone buys the siege resources from the Forest Troll, you just need to let them deal with them the way they were and you'll be doing me a great favor. When they get their hands on those items, they'll still deliver them to my target. I'll capture him then and it won't affect the overall situation. "Emily looked at Han Shuo and said with a smile.
Nodding, Han Shuo said, "No problem. I'll return to the Dark Forest again when I get some rations back to the Empire. I'll talk to the Forest Troll then and it won't affect your plans. "
"Right, you can't open Duke's space ring anyway. Why don't you give it to me? I'll think of a way to find someone to open the boundary and see what's inside. "
"Okay, you can take it." Han Shuo readily handed Duke's space ring to Emily. His thoughts raced as he suddenly remembered Yuna's beautiful space ring. Yuna was only an adept mage, and logically speaking, Emily, who was a level higher, should be able to open the boundary she'd set up.
Therefore, Han Shuo took out Yuna's space ring and handed it to Emily. "This space ring has a boundary set up as well, but the person was an adept mage. I think you should be able to open the boundary inside and see what's inside."
She didn't ask Han Shuo how he'd obtained this space ring. Emily held the space ring in her hand, took a deep breath and focused her mental strength.
The emerald green space ring suddenly lit up, accompanied by a strong magical ripple. The space ring lit up to a certain degree and then suddenly dimmed. Exhaling lightly, a few items suddenly appeared in Emily's hand. Some female undergarments, a crystal card, a book on water magic, and some medicine for bandaging wounds.
Staring oddly at Han Shuo, Emily said, "I hadn't thought that you'd be such a heartless person. How did this woman die in your hands?"
After flipping through Emily's hand and discovering that there wasn't anything of value, Han Shuo only put away the emerald green space ring and said with a smile, "A lewd woman betrayed me, so I killed her out of anger. It's a very normal thing."
"Pah! I don't believe you! "Emily said.
"Alright, there's only two days left before I have to report to the organization. I need to leave the cemetery of death as soon as possible. You should already know about my identity and background. We'll leave this place for now, and you can attend to your matters first. Whether it's through the Dark Mantle or the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, I think it won't be hard for you to find me. Let's leave this place first. "Han Shuo thought of a pile of things to do and said to Emily.
"Alright, although you're a dishonest little brat, it won't be hard for me to find you. I'll ask you one last question, between Brian and this weird name Han Shuo, which one should I call you? "Emily said.
"Han Shuo. This is a new name given to me by the person who taught me martial techniques. I want you to call me by this name in the future!" Han Shuo thought for a moment and responded.
Nodding and not asking any more questions, Han Shuo took Emily around the cemetery of death. The two left the cemetery of death through the central transportation matrix amidst Emily's surprised gasps of admiration.
