Chapter 139 Source of the Curse

As Lin En continued to swing his sword, the skeletons grew fewer and fewer.

He sheathed his sword, looked around at the densely packed fallen skeletons. "Is that it? Is this all there is to this special grotto? No rewards at all?"

Somewhat disappointed, Lin En was about to head to the next grotto when the ground suddenly began to shake.

Lin En immediately flew into the air and looked down. The ground was trembling and cracking.

A huge skeleton crawled out from the depths, quickly rising to its feet.

Lin En looked at the giant skeleton and was surprised to find that it was composed of many smaller skeletons. He immediately cast an Appraisal Spell.

Name: Source of the Curse (Eighth Order)

Category: Undead Curse

Physique: 5001

Strength: 5500

Agility: 4240

Spirit: 5120

Skills: Undead Burst, Undead Howl, Undead Conversion, Undead Absorption

{Cults love to bury curses on certain battlefields. The effects of the curses vary.}

Looking at the giant skeleton made up of countless skeletons, Lin En thought, "Good thing I don't have trypophobia, but it still looks a bit creepy. Still, it's good if you don’t get goosebumps from the countless holes staring at you."

The Source of the Curse seemed to sense the vitality radiating from Lin En and immediately looked over, then slammed its huge skeletal hand toward Lin En.

Seeing the giant skeletal hand coming, Lin En was about to dodge when a wail emanated from the hand. His pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but tremble involuntarily.

Although it was only for a brief second, the hand had already struck. Lin En could only put on his Duelist Set in the blink of an eye.

With a *thwack*, Lin En was sent flying, spinning 720 degrees in the air.

Lin En finally managed to stop himself from spinning and looked at the Source of the Curse, which was walking toward him. He muttered, "I was careless just now; I didn't dodge."

That wail must have been the Undead Howl. It was a control skill that made me tremble in fear for a second.

He looked at his reddened arm. "Good thing I put on the Duelist Set in time, or it wouldn't just be red; I'd be spitting blood."

Extremely annoyed, Lin En looked at the approaching Source of the Curse and directly activated Heaven's Punishment. A giant light sword appeared in the sky and fell toward the Source of the Curse.

Lin En narrowed his eyes, watching the Source of the Curse being attacked by Heaven's Punishment. "One Heaven's Punishment definitely won't kill it." Sure enough, although the skeleton body was somewhat damaged, it was still mostly intact.

"Hmm? What's it doing?"

A black vortex appeared around the Source of the Curse. The fifth, sixth, and seventh-order skeletons that Lin En had killed flew toward the Source of the Curse, filling in the damaged body.

"Hmm. Undead Absorption?"

Lin En wasn't going to just watch. Another Heaven's Punishment was launched. A giant light sword appeared above the Source of the Curse and fell. As soon as the light sword fell, another giant light sword appeared and followed it down, then another light sword came and fell.

The first Heaven's Punishment light sword was locked in a stalemate with the vortex. The second Heaven's Punishment light sword fell and directly broke through the vortex. The two light swords stabbed straight down. The third Heaven's Punishment light sword fell, stabbing straight into the chest. A red light burst out from the chest of the Source of the Curse, resisting the third Heaven's Punishment light sword.

"That item emitting the red light should be the core of the Source of the Curse," Lin En thought, watching the red light blocking the Heaven's Punishment light sword.

Then another Heaven's Punishment light sword appeared and fell. "Hmm, it can still hold on?" Then another one. As soon as he finished speaking, another light sword fell, and this time it directly broke through the red light. The three Heaven's Punishment light swords directly shattered the core of the curse.

As the curse core was shattered, the Source of the Curse collapsed.

A large amount of light emerged from the body of the Source of the Curse, and they bowed to Lin En before disappearing.

The remaining skeleton bones turned to ashes. It seemed they were all liberated.

Lin En was a little depressed. "What the heck? No harvest at all? Isn't today my lucky day? How come I didn't get anything?"

Not willing to give up, Lin En came to the front of the curse core, looked at the shattered core, and cast an Appraisal Spell. The results were all garbage—fragments filled with evil energy, completely useless.

Annoyed, Lin En picked up a broken sword, attached Demonic Flames to it, and threw it directly at the fragments.

To Lin En's surprise, the fragments were able to emit a red light to block the Demonic Flames, but it was clear that this red light was also a type of energy. The Demonic Flames immediately spread, engulfing all the core fragments.

Under Lin En's gaze, the curse core was directly burned into powder by the Demonic Flames.

As the core fragments were destroyed, a light descended from the sky, forming a treasure chest radiating holy light in front of Lin En.

"Good grief. After being shattered like that, could it be that the curse hasn't dissipated yet?"

"How sinister. I almost missed this treasure chest."

Looking at the treasure chest radiating holy light in front of him, Lin En directly opened it.

[System: Undead Sword *1]

[System: Holy Radiance *1]

[System: Purifying Spring Water *1]

[System: Pure Soul Crystal *10]

"Not bad. There should be some rewards." Now let's see what good things there are.

Name: Undead Sword (Eighth Order)

Category: Weapon

Effects: Undead Corrosion, Undead Rebirth, Undead Control

{I will grant you new life, and you will obey me.}

Looking at the all-black Undead Sword in his hand, "These attributes don't really suit me. I'm someone who cultivates natural energy, holding a weapon of death energy. It just doesn't feel right."

He put away the Undead Sword. "I wonder if Auntie has exchanged that eighth-order Tian Ge for a weapon that suits me."

Name: Holy Radiance

Category: Skill

Effect: Inflicts twice the damage to evil energy when imbued with holy power.

{Once, a bald-headed boss imbued his bald head with holy power. After that, a sun appeared at night.}

"Hmm, doesn't feel very useful. I'll put it away for now."

Name: Purifying Spring Water (Special)

Category: Special Building

Effect: Purifies curses, evil energy, etc.

{Spring water filled with holy power.}

"The spring square will have another spring. Speaking of which, how many springs are there now?"

"Uh, I forgot how many there are. It seems that the special buildings given during the Mulai battle included springs. I wonder how many there are?"

Name: Pure Soul Crystal

Category: Special Crystal

Effect: Enhances the soul

{The undead on the battlefield of death wholeheartedly condense pure and blank soul crystals.}

"Uh, enhances the soul? How do I use it?" Lin En looked blankly at the soul crystal in his palm. "Could it be that I eat it directly? But it's a bit big, almost as big as my fist, and it's also hard."

Since he couldn't figure it out, he would wait until he finished excavating the grottoes and go back to ask his all-knowing aunt. She would definitely know how to use it.
