Chapter 612

The high priestess' compromise wasn't out of Shien's expectations.

The Necromancer might have a knack for creating something like the [Great Death Spirit Body], which was unheard of. However, from Shien's point of view, the high priestess didn't need to be wary of her.

That was because she had always been looking for shortcuts throughout her life.

In order to pursue immortality, she didn't want to increase her strength steadily, break through the limits of life, and achieve transcendence. She didn't want to be like others who went on adventures all over the world in search of the legendary potion that could make people immortal. Instead, she wanted to turn herself into an undead creature that was neither human nor ghost.

In order to conquer the world, she didn't want to expand her influence, recruit soldiers, or use her strength to conquer others. Instead, she wanted to turn millions of lives into her undead army, and use inhumane violence to ravage everything.

Finally, after witnessing the power of the Goddess of Life Anima, she understood the true influence of the Transcendent Level. She didn't want to increase her strength either. Instead, she created a [Great Death Spirit Body] that could naturally break through the limits of life. Then, she transferred her soul and did something that was no different from taking over someone else's body.

These were all shortcuts that the high priestess pursued. None of her goals were achieved step by step.

Because of this, after thousands of years, the Necromancer was only at level 92.

If it was someone else who had thousands of years, as long as they weren't as aloof as the Elves and didn't regard time as nothing, they definitely wouldn't have only reached level 92.

If it wasn't for the high priestess collecting a large amount of death aura over thousands of years, and having a decent undead army, she would be at the bottom of the Legendary Level.

For a person who had always been looking for shortcuts, even if she had a knack for it, Shien didn't think that she could achieve anything, nor could she be a great person.

Therefore, her compromise and begging for mercy weren't out of Shien's expectations.

"Let me ask you."

Shien stared at the crystal ball in his hand and questioned.

"What's the use of this base? It can't be to imprison a group of prisoners, right? "

Shien's question was met with an affirmative answer from the high priestess.

"Yes, yes, yes! This base is not used to imprison people! "

The high priestess quickly answered.

"Then, what's its use?" Shien narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did you gather so many people here to dig?"

"This …" The high priestess hesitated.

Sean raised the holy sword in his hand without batting an eyelid.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! " The High Priest's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly said, "We are here to dig out the treasure that is sleeping under this land!"

Upon hearing this, Sean knew that the legend that Capeline had told him was true.

Who would have thought that these fellows were really here for the legendary treasure?

"A treasure related to the Supreme God and the Demon King …?" Sean pondered for a while, and continued to ask, "What treasure is it? Then, he asked. of of the high priestess of.

As soon as he said that, a strange expression appeared on the High Priestess' body.

"We … we …"

The high priestess's voice trembled, as if she was struggling and hesitating.

"You don't want to say it?" Shien raised his eyebrows. "It seems that you have a big secret."

Shien thought that the necromancer did not dare to say it because of the importance of the matter.

"Speak." Shien gripped the crystal ball with a little force, as if he wanted to crush it. He said in a harsh tone, "What do you want to do? What's the relationship between you and the queen named Mara? "

These were all important information that Shien desperately wanted to know.

As long as the High Priest was able to answer his question, his trip would be considered complete.

Even if they didn't meet Mara and couldn't solve the problem once and for all, they could still destroy this base, rescue Havves' sister, eliminate Limjoo, and then find this necromancer. That way, they could learn about Mara's secret in this place. That would be a worthwhile trip.

Therefore, seeing the high priestess struggling and hesitating, Shien was already thinking if he should teach her a lesson.

Who would have thought …

"I … I …!"

In addition to the struggle and hesitation, there was a hint of pain in the high priestess' voice.

"Huh?" Shien finally sensed that something was wrong. He asked subconsciously, "What the hell are you doing?"

The high priestess did not answer this question.

For some reason, the green ball of light attached to the crystal ball was fluctuating and trembling violently.

"I … Ahhhh … Ahhhhh …!"

The High Priest's voice gradually became more and more like a wail.

Seeing this, Shien's expression changed.

It was also at this moment that the High Priest's painful and hateful howl rang out from the crystal ball.

"This … this is a curse against the soul …!? Damn you, Poison Concubine!!! "

When such a painful howl came from the crystal ball, something unexpected happened.

"Bang!"

The green light that was attached to the crystal ball suddenly exploded in the most intense undulation and trembling, turning into countless light spots and dissipating in the air.

The high priestess' voice stopped abruptly.

The crystal ball returned to its original state.

Everything disappeared.

Shien's expression darkened as he saw this.

"Bang!"

In the next second, Sean's hand that was holding the crystal ball suddenly exerted force and crushed it.

A large amount of Death Qi immediately rushed out from the broken crystal ball, mixed with a pale green light that slithered like snakes.

It was the death energy that the high priestess had collected for thousands of years and the [Spiritual Essences] that she had painstakingly cultivated.

"Puchi!"

With a flash of a golden sword light, all the deathly aura and 'spiritual essence' that had erupted were sliced apart by the Holy Sword on the spot, and they were quickly purified and dispersed by the golden light on the sword.

At this point, everything that the High Priest had left in this world had finally vanished into thin air.

Sean stood on the ruins with his sword in hand, but he was in a very bad mood.

He could still see what had happened.

"That poison concubine, she did something to the high priestess?"

Shien finally couldn't help but call Mara the poison concubine.

There was no other way.

"As expected of a villain. He likes to silence people and prevent others from betraying him."

Shien smacked his lips and threw away the crystal ball's fragments, letting them fall on the ground.

He knew that Mara might have already known that he had destroyed this base and killed the high priestess and the others.

Since the curse had already been activated, Shien didn't believe that Mara wouldn't have sensed it.

"Alright."

Shien's expression softened.

"Now that I know what you have planned here, I don't have to worry about you not coming back."

Before, Shien had been worried that if his identity was exposed and Mara knew that he was here, he would run away.

Now it seemed that Mara was after something big in the empire. His target was the treasure related to the Supreme God and the Demon King. He wouldn't be willing to leave.

Not only would he not leave, but he would also know that Shien had destroyed this place and the Lefferut Family was destroyed. Mara would definitely come back.

At that time, it would naturally be clear what the other party was plotting.

Thinking of this, Shien stopped thinking about the high priestess. He looked around and then turned his eyes to the space in the stone wall.

Over there, many knights, servants, and slaves ran out of the room in fear.

Sean's heart skipped a beat. With a teleportation, he disappeared.

"Roar!"

You Lin seemed to have received some instructions. After a roar, she flapped her dragon wings and flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

Only a mess of ruins was left at the scene.

When the people who came out of the base saw this, they were all shocked, shocked, and dumbfounded.

"Oh my god!"

"What … what just happened!?"

"Where's Young Master Limcho?"

"Where's the high priestess?"

"So … so many craters, so many corpses, so scary …!"

"Oh god …"

The group of knights, slaves, and servants were all dumbfounded, and began to tremble.

Only after a long time did many of them look at each other. They seemed to have thought of something and quietly left.

Of course, they didn't return to the base. Instead, they began to run outside without saying a word.

Seeing this, the others also came to their senses.

"Run … Run!"

"Let's use this chance to get out of here …!"

"I … I finally have a chance to get out of this hell …!"

"I don't want to stay here anymore, I don't want to stay here anymore …!"

Everyone seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope as they screamed frantically and ran for their lives.

It was the same for the slaves and servants.

They were all captured and brought to this place as laborers without human rights. They were the people who dug underground for Mara and the high priestess.

Even the knights were the same. Those who had some ability were used as patrolling guards and supervisors, while those who had no ability were ordered around as slaves and servants. They had no human rights at all.

In addition, the high priestess ruled this place with terror. Once someone didn't like her, she would kill them at will and even feed them to the zombie dragons. The people here had long regarded this place as hell.

Now that they finally had a chance to escape, they naturally ran for their lives.

However, there were some people who couldn't escape.

For example, some of the knights had long sold themselves to the high priestess in order to survive and gain power. The high priestess used necromancy to turn them into half-human, half-zombie zombies, and they were the most powerful dogs of the high priestess.

Now that the high priestess was dead, these half-human, half-zombie zombies all fell to the ground and never got up again.

Just like that, this secret base that no one knew about was completely empty.

Shien walked around but still didn't find anything.

However, in one of the stone storerooms, Shien found a lot of gold, silver, treasures, and all kinds of magic items collected by the high priestess.

"Well, it's better than nothing."

With these things, Shien returned to the imperial capital.

Only the ruins were left, lifeless.
