Chapter 37

Wang Jue listened to her oath of loyalty.

He stood up straight and said,

“Welcome, Elizabeth!”

Elizabeth bowed her head again expressionlessly.

Then, she stood up silently and stood at the side.

She seemed a little withdrawn and aloof.

The others were also looking at this Necromancer.

Necromancers had always been a very mysterious existence.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they manipulate the dead and associate with corpses and skeletons all day, finding joy in creating death.

Even Wang Jue had these preconceived thoughts.

However, now that she had become his soldier, regardless of race, background, or appearance, as long as she could remain loyal, he would treat everyone equally.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Carl and the others had also recovered.

Wang Jue looked at Elizabeth.

Her detailed attributes appeared before his eyes.

[Necromancer: Elizabeth]

[Endowment: Excellent]

[Level: LV 11]

[Attributes: (Tap to unfold)]

[Loyalty: 60]

Elizabeth’s initial loyalty was actually much lower than everyone Wang Jue had recruited.

It seemed that necromancers had different temperaments and personalities from ordinary soldiers.

Wang Jue pondered for a moment before unfolding her attributes.

[Necromancer: Elizabeth]

[Strength: 28]

[Agility: 20]

[Health Points: 335]

[Mana: 400]

[Magic Damage: 68]

[Magic Resistance: 31]

[Skills: Summon Skeleton Archers (Summon 2 LV 7 Skeleton Archers, Consumes 50 MP, Lasts 20 minutes, Cooldown: 30 minutes), Magic Effect Amplification (Increases speed of MP recovery by 20%), Double Necromancer Arrows (Chanting Time: 2 seconds, Consumes 40 MP, Releases two Dead Arrows, each causing 1.5x magic damage)]

As expected of a rare Necromancer, her attributes and skills could easily defeat the elite Dead from earlier!

“Carl, you will be responsible for protecting Elizabeth in the subsequent battles. Make sure that she can attack in peace.”

Wang Jue turned his head and instructed Carl.

Just as he finished speaking.

Elizabeth’s cold voice sounded.

“Overlord, I don’t think the weak can protect the strong.

“Don’t worry about me in battle. I can find the right time to attack.”

Her words made Wang Jue and Carl raise their eyebrows.

Carl, in particular, was scowling. If Wang Jue hadn’t said anything, he probably would have flared up on the spot.

Wang Jue was surprised at first, then he felt awkward and speechless.

Other than being mysterious, this Necromancer has really low EQ.

But it doesn’t matter. We still have a lot of time together in the future.

With more bonding, it will only be a matter of time before everyone integrates into the collective.

“Since that’s the case, then that’s for the best.”

The golden hint appeared again.

[There are many secrets waiting to be explored in this temple!]

“Next, let’s continue exploring.”

Wang Jue raised his sword and gave the order!

The whole army set off again.

There seemed to be nothing worth paying attention to inside the temple.

Except for one thing.

Wang Jue looked deep into the temple.

It was a stone coffin with drawings of many demons being beheaded carved on it.

A stone coffin placed inside the temple. No matter how one thought about it, it seemed that there was a huge secret inside it.

Wang Jue recalled the carvings of the great battle he saw on the limestone ground at the entrance of the temple.

The hunter who sat by the cliff and looked up at the moon.

Does this coffin have to do with him?

Wang Jue focused his gaze.

[There is a dungeon connected to the bottom of the stone coffin. In the depths of the dungeon, there is an obsession that has not been quelled for a thousand years.]

After reading the hint, Wang Jue was somewhat puzzled.

Obsession…

Isn’t it a ghost?

“There’s something strange about that stone coffin. Carl, let’s go take a look.”

Wang Jue pointed at the stone coffin.

With that said, he walked forward.

The system didn’t warn him of danger, so Wang Jue became bolder.

Carl walked in front.

The two wolf cavalrymen guarded Wang Jue from the left and right, while Quina constantly surveyed her surroundings in case another Dead appeared.

The six Shadow Beings followed closely behind.

Everyone arrived before the stone coffin.

Under Wang Jue’s command, Carl attempted to lift the heavy coffin lid.

This lid carried some weight, and Carl could not lift it for a time.

“Barud, Mibazel, you two go help.”

Fortunately, Wang Jue had sufficient manpower. Otherwise, things would have been difficult.

When Elder Jian saw the situation, he hurriedly gestured for Hei Hun and Hei Yan to help.

However, the coffin lid seemed to be sealed on all sides. The five of them exerted their strength, but it did not budge an inch.

Hong Wan, the young master of the Shadow Beings, also joined the crowd.

“Why is this thing so heavy?”

Wang Jue focused his gaze.

[Mage Rune Stone Coffin, made from high-level Magic Rune Stones]

[Tap to break down]

Then, a hint appeared.

[Magic Rune Stones are precious magical materials. They are the best tool to create magic arrays.]

After reading the hint, Wang Jue realized that the stone coffin was actually a high-level magic material.

If the system could break it down, why waste so much effort?

At this thought, Wang Jue chose [Break down].

Instantly, the Mage Rune Stone Coffin turned into a ball of light.

[Obtained Advanced Magic Rune Stone x187]

Wang Jue waved his hand and stored them in his Backpack.

The coffin disappeared, revealing a dark entrance below.

“Overlord, let us open a path for you!

“The giant wolves still have good vision in the dark.” The Wolf Cavalryman Barud said.

The entrance was not too narrow, enough to accommodate the size of a giant wolf.

Wang Jue nodded in agreement.

As such, the two Wolf Cavalrymen shoved their fingers into their mouths and whistled.

The next moment, two giant wolves received the command and entered the tunnel.

Everyone drew their blades and followed closely behind, entering the tunnel.

Carl and Quina walked at the back.

There was something else inside the tunnel.

After passing through the entrance, a stone staircase led straight down.

The steps were wide enough for two Wolf Cavalrymen to walk side by side.

When the party went down the stairs, they saw a long corridor.

It was deep, dark, and completely devoid of vision.

At this moment.

The two sides of the corridor suddenly began to gradually light up.

White candles started burning one after another, gradually lighting up from near to far.

The candlelight was not bright.

Instead, it pulsed like a pale white ghost fire, emitting a dim glow.

They were like white roses dancing in the dark, strange yet beautiful.

“This scene seems quite ritualistic…”

Wang Jue couldn’t help but recall the horror films of the past. They were filmed in the same way.

“Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, the first person to step into this place would be a human.”

A voice sounded faintly in Wang Jue’s ears.

The strange thing was that apart from Wang Jue, everyone else looked normal and didn’t seem to notice anything.

“Who is it?”
