All-Professional Master of Darkness

"Found it. When Lan Wu saw the monster in front of him, he immediately took a deep breath and raised his hand to create an energy whirlwind.

The wind was strong, and the violent energy violently tore apart the skeleton next to the monster, making it stagger and unable to continue casting spells to summon the skeleton. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Wu quickly put on the legendary sword, crossed the last few meters in one lunge, and completed the close approach. As usual, the summoner has never been good at close combat.

As expected. This monster had no power to fight back against Lan Wu who was clinging to him like candy and slashing fiercely. Every time he raised his withered... hands, they would be chopped down by Lan Wu with a swift sword, making him lose his center of gravity. Naturally, the spellcasting was also forced to be interrupted.

But Lan Wu failed to gain much advantage.

In close combat with the mage, Lan Wu had the advantage. But when the legendary sword struck the monster, it made a popping sound like it was striking hard cowhide, leaving no more damage than clearly visible white marks.

At this time Leah also floated above. When she saw the monster forced back by Lan Wu, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide and hurriedly shouted: "The heart, that's where its energy core is."

Suddenly hearing Leah's voice reminding him again, Lan Wu raised his foot and kicked the monster back half a step without even thinking. Then he clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and sent the legendary sword into its heart.

"So easy?" Lan Wu was surprised. The touch from the tip of the sword was quite strange, like a table knife stuck in cheese, and it easily penetrated into the monster's heart without any hindrance.

Just as Leah pointed out, the monster let out a hoarse roar and fell down stiffly like a log. The moment he fell, the skeletons that were about to surround him seemed to have had all the magic power to maintain their bodies taken away, and they turned into broken bones and fell to the ground.

In just a short moment, under Lan Wu's stunned gaze, the originally terrifying sea of ​​skeletons disappeared without a trace. As far as the eye can see there is a thick layer of white bones. The corridor suddenly became quiet. And a moment later, there was another soft clicking sound in the distance ahead, and there were still a large number of skeletons continuing to come this way.

"Come on, I know the secret here." Liya floated to Lan Wu's side and urged anxiously.

Lan Wu also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of things, so he immediately put away his legendary sword and put on his staff to teleport away people. It wasn't until he retreated to the hole that he stopped to quickly replenish his life and mana, and at the same time asked Leah floating next to him with his eyes.

"That's the Tomb Guard, a guardian transformed from a ritual unique to the Zakarum Church. If I'm not mistaken, this tomb was created by the original prime minister of Tristram... who was deeply loved by King Leoric. Built by the trusted Archbishop Lazarus. He has been corrupted by the magic of the demon Diavolo and turned into a demon." Leia looked back at the dark corridor in pain.

She and her uncle are considered to be the last descendants of the Horadrim clan. They live in seclusion in Tristram according to the ancient precepts, and are responsible for guarding the demon god Diavolo who was originally sealed here by the powerful Horadrim clan. But no one thought that Lazarus, the archbishop who was deeply trusted by Leoric, was actually responsible for a secret mission of the church.

Release Diavolo, who is imprisoned deep beneath the Horadrim Cathedral.

When she and her uncle Cain learned the truth, Diavolo's magic had taken over King Leoric's body, turning the wise king into a cruel monarch, which eventually led to the destruction of Tristram. During that catastrophe, she and Kane witnessed the death of Archbishop Lazarus at the hands of Diavolo, who had gained freedom.

When the demon army left the destroyed Tristram, the two men took the few survivors to collect the bones of the dead. It was she and Kane who personally buried the archbishop's bones in the cemetery above. Unexpectedly, the archbishop had been transformed into a demon at that time. After finally waking up from a long sleep, he built this catacomb full of ominous magic.

Now that she knew the owner of the tomb, Leah quickly put away her sadness. As an archbishop, Lazarus was once the prime minister of Tristram. After his resurrection, he would definitely take away the crown that symbolized royal power. In other words, the crown is in the tomb.

According to the architectural style of the Zakarum Church at that time, Leah quickly found another entrance. Lan Wu was shocked to see that she just pressed somewhere on the rock wall under the entrance of the cave, and there was an additional entrance to the corridor in front of her.

"Hurry up, this is the consistent style of the Zakarum Church. From here you can go directly to the crown." Leah, uncharacteristically, took the lead and floated ahead.

Lan Wu had no choice. Not to mention that he trusted Leah as his personal secretary. The terrifying sea of ​​skeletons on the other road made him choose this new path without thinking.

This passage is not much different from the corridor just now, going straight forward. The only difference is that there is no trace of any living thing here. Only the sound of Lan Wu's footsteps echoed faintly in the passage.

"Is this leading to the underground?" Lan Wu walked a few hundred meters and was keenly aware of the very subtle decrease in the terrain. He raised his head and asked hesitantly.

"This is also the tomb style of the Zakarum Church. At that time, the church was accustomed to building two levels of tombs. The upper level was used to paralyze tomb robbers. There were a few treasures placed in the tombs on this level. When the tomb robbers found these treasures, they would only think that This is all the treasure. In fact, the lower level is where the real treasure is located. Lazarus must have brought the crown there after his resurrection.

Lan Wu was noncommittal. This is all just Leah's guess. The specific situation depends on what will be at the end of the passage. According to the usual practice, there will be another big battle. The best thing to do now is to prepare in advance.

The passage is very long, Lan Wu estimated it to be nearly two thousand meters. Almost half an hour later, a light suddenly appeared in front of us. He was refreshed and immediately quickened his pace. At the same time, he quickly took out a bottle of stamina potion from his space bag, ready to pour it into his mouth.

Soon Lan Wu rushed to the exit. When he saw the situation on this floor, he couldn't help but gasped. It's full of ghosts. Thousands of ghosts wander aimlessly around the vast tomb. In the middle of the tomb, a huge lump of flesh was squirming like a living thing, looking very disgusting.

"Yes, this is the tomb of Archbishop Lazarus." Leah floated to the top of the tomb, looked around the tomb, which was about one thousand square meters, and gave a positive answer.

Lan Wu rolled his eyes depressedly. Okay, the destination is found, but how to deal with these monsters. Thousands of ghosts, not counting that disgusting lump of flesh. He had no choice but to raise his staff and carefully clean up from the outside.

Fortunately, the ghost's magic resistance is weak.
