Corpse Explosion Technique? And it’s Group Corpse Explosion Technique?
I couldn’t help but pause, somewhat surprised.
Because this kind of magic was extremely rare in the Bright Faction; even dark mages, warlocks, and dark priests—those dark-type professions—scoffed at it.
After all, this magic was a great disrespect to the dead, already considered taboo to the extent that only those necromancers would learn such spells.
This scroll was very likely circulated from a quest to eliminate some necromancer.
Group Corpse Explosion Technique could only be used in PvE and couldn’t be used on players’ corpses—think about it, no game company would be foolish enough to make a mistake in such a taboo aspect.
However, even in PvE, the utility of this spell might not compare to those high-level group damage magic scrolls.
Who let the damage of Group Corpse Explosion Technique be completely determined by the corpses’ levels? This became a major limitation.
But… for undead, it would be a great weapon, and the situation in the Mihri Ruins seems quite suitable?
I thought carefully, but ultimately gave up.
Because I understood the detonation mechanism of Group Corpse Explosion Technique: the explosion range was small, unless it was a situation where monsters were clustered together.
Moreover, if enough corpses weren’t accumulated, the chain explosion effect was really unsatisfactory.
And, has this guy gone crazy for money?
Looking at the three gold coin price tag, I couldn’t help but silently complain in my heart.
If it were a few dozen silver coins, I might consider buying it, but this price—really, I don’t know who gave the seller the courage to set it.
Even a big spender would be scared off by this price.
After checking to confirm nothing was missed, I left the exchange, went to the mailbox to mail the special fire resistance potion recipe I bought in my inventory to Syl far away in the Alwyn Empire.
Only then did I head to the city gate to meet up with Satahia, advancing toward the southwest direction of the Mihri Ruins.
Magic scrolls for quick teleport, substitute illusion, flash technique; consumables like fragment bombs, scare dolls, and so on—these were the special items Satahia bought from the hidden shop.
Though expensive, each costing quite a few silver coins or even over ten, that was relative to ordinary players at the current stage.
With the ten gold coins I gave Satahia, naturally, quite a few were purchased.
But after checking, I couldn’t help but frown.
“I feel like the quantities don’t quite match up.”
“What’s wrong, Your Majesty the Demon King?”
Beside me, Satahia, who had just used magic to roast a few marsh frogs, cast a curious glance.
“Nothing.” I shook my head, put away the items again.
In my previous life, I didn’t go to hidden shops much, because they were often bought out of stock by underlings sent by major guilds right after restocking.
After so long, it was possible I misremembered the prices.
Less than half an hour after leaving Naldun, we had already arrived at the muddy wetlands not far from the Mihri Ruins.
Due to the influence of demonic power, the Mihri Ruins were forever surrounded by harsh weather, and even the muddy wetlands were no exception.
Along the way, one could see the sky densely covered with pitch-black clouds, occasionally drizzling light rain.
It was said that hundreds of years ago, before the Mihri Fortress fell, this place was once a beautiful and peaceful grassland.
Because of the perennial rainy weather and the low-lying terrain, this muddy wetland was born.
“The weather here is so annoying.” Satahia reached out to touch her mage robe, brushing off the water droplets on it, and pouted.
As a flame demon, she had no reason to like continuous rainy weather.
Or rather, most people were the same: the heavy water mist lingered in the air, feeling unusually sticky.
This low-pressure environment naturally made people feel irritable.
“Walk a bit further, and after passing through that ancient forest ahead, we’ll arrive.”
While looking at the map, I used the cleansing spell from common magic to flick off the dew on my body, immediately feeling much refreshed.
Seeing this, Satahia beside me also planned to imitate, but obviously, even I hadn’t considered preparing such a small trick for her, thus resulting in this outcome.
Faced with her puppy-like gaze, I couldn’t help but curl my lip, preparing to chant the spell.
However, at that moment, my ear suddenly caught an unusual sound: a series of footsteps rapidly approaching from behind.
“A thief?” I immediately interrupted the spell, turned my head, and glimpsed three figures dressed as thieves dashing toward us from not far behind.
Because I wasn’t clear on their purpose, I couldn’t help but secretly raise my vigilance.
“Your Majesty the Demon King, it looks like those guys have something following behind them.”
Reminded by Satahia, I then noticed a group of figures vaguely appearing in the jungle behind the three thieves.
Trying to lure monsters over?
“Satahia.” My heart skipped a beat, immediately preparing for battle, and at the same time, lightly reminding the one beside me.
Satahia immediately gripped her staff tightly, but just as she was about to chant magic, I held her back.
In a situation where the opponent’s purpose wasn’t clear, it was best not to act rashly to intercept, lest not only fall into red name status but also attract a bunch of trouble.
Of course, if the opponent really had any malice, then they couldn’t blame me—with my rich experience in fighting various professions, I had that confidence.
Fortunately, the other side seemed to notice our situation as well, appearing to have no malice as they deliberately bypassed us, luring the monsters behind them to another direction.
“Pulling monsters?” I put down my staff and frowned.
But if pulling monsters, why three thieves together? And among the pulled monsters, I could see two or three elites.
Generally speaking, this wasn’t suitable for team leveling, and ordinary teams wouldn’t have so many thieves.
“Whatever, it’s none of our business.” After thinking, I no longer paid attention, leading Satahia to continue hurrying forward.
But before walking much distance, I heard a chaotic sound, seeming like intense battle, and it just happened to block our forward direction.
“Your Majesty the Demon King, it’s those thieves from before.” Satahia’s sharp eyes caught the situation not far away.
Hearing Satahia’s words, I cast my gaze through the bushes.
