917 Soul Bearing
Wu Siying had been lurking on the side the whole time, looking for an opportunity.
She didn’t let Fang Heng down and seized this fleeting opportunity with precision.
A cold face appeared behind Susanna and a fair arm wrapped around Susanna’s body and rested on her neck.
The dark-colored dagger slashed across.
“Chi!!!”
Scarlet blood gushed out of Susanna’s neck!
A touch of dead ash appeared on the cut on Susanna’s neck, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.
“High Priestess!”
Seeing this, the surrounding holy cast knights were furious and attacked Wu Siying.
After the successful attack, Wu Siying jumped back and quickly dodged into the distance.
“Holy heal!”
The remaining priests hurriedly gathered around and tried to save High Priestess Susanna.
Fang Heng laid on the ground and pointed in Susanna’s direction.
The priests of the Holy Court were casting their skills in a panic, but Susanna had been killed in one hit, and all healing skills were useless.
They could even see the blood flowing out of Susanna’s neck uncontrollably.
The blood was drawn by a special force and quickly gathered toward the coffin.
After absorbing the power of the blood, the Vampire King’s afterimages that had dimmed around them once again bloomed with red light and pounced toward the Holy Court priests.
“Be careful! They’re here again!”
The holy cast knights immediately became alert and stepped in front of the priests, blocking the blood shadows.
Marken also found an opportunity to come up with a few holy cast knights, trying to pull Fang Heng up from the ground and take him away from the danger zone.
He didn’t expect Fang Heng to suddenly raise his head and shout in the direction of the landing point of the Vampire King’s remains in the distance, “Quick! Find the remains of the Vampire King! Don’t let the vampires get their hands on the remains!”
Marken hesitated.
With the lesson learned, Marken had already regarded Fang Heng as an expert.
Fang Heng gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t mind me! Hurry!”
“Yes!”
Marken nodded and led several holy cast knights to the right where the remains of the Vampire King fell.
While the holy cast knights were busy collecting the remains of the Vampire King, Fang Heng stood up and ran to the coffin of the Vampire King not far away. He reached out and touched the coffin.
“Chi!”
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the coffin again. A red light overflowed and covered Fang Heng’s palm.
[Hint: You have discovered the coffin of the Vampire King.]
[Hint: The spirit of the Vampire King is currently in the coffin. You are unable to retrieve the coffin and gain temporary control over the coffin.]
Fang Heng frowned and made a judgment immediately.
According to the game’s notification, the King’s will had been severely damaged, but he was not dead. He was still curled up in the King’s coffin, so he could not retrieve the coffin yet.
This was troublesome…
Fang Heng was thinking about how to deal with it when Wu Siying’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
“There’s no time. Do you want me to help you destroy it?”
Fang Heng was moved and asked, “Destroy it? What do you mean by that?”
“The coffin is the carrier that carries the will of the Vampire King. In a hurry, even the Holy Court can only destroy the King’s will by destroying the coffin.”
“Just give up. You’ve caused a huge commotion, and the Holy Court’s people outside are already gathering here. I can help you destroy the coffin, and getting its fragments is better than nothing.”
“Is there no other way to get the soul out of the coffin completely?” Fang Heng asked.
Wu Siying’s tone was cold and she said, “It’s very difficult. As far as I know, only a few extremely rare tools can do it. The twelve corporations have been searching for these special tools for years. From the current situation, they shouldn’t have succeeded yet.”
The twelve corporations?!
They had also been looking for an item to seal the soul?
Fang Heng’s heart suddenly moved and he realized something.
Suddenly, several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng’s mind. From the moment he entered the fallen corridor, some of the past scenes quickly flipped through in his mind.
The Shrine of Bones!
Could it be that everything that happened in the fallen corridor was controlled by the twelve corporations?
They had set their sights on the fallen corridor in order to obtain the Shrine of Bones. They wanted to use the soul sealing skill of the Shrine of Bones to seal the soul of the Vampire King and use it to obtain the coffin.
No wonder, no wonder the Federation was so abnormal.
Therefore, after they escaped from the fallen corridor, the central Federation investigator who had a conflict with Teacher Pu Shi was most likely from the twelve corporations!
In order to not let the Shrine of Bones fall into the hands of the twelve corporations, Teacher Pu Shi had chosen to hand the Shrine of Bones to him for safety reasons!
That’s right!
Fang Heng’s thoughts became clearer.
The target of the twelve corporations was most likely the Shrine of Bones!
The Shrine of Bones would definitely be able to deal with the Vampire King’s will hidden in the coffin!
At the thought of this, Fang Heng turned his wrist and took the Shrine of Bones in his hand.
His expression was calm as he looked at the shadow beside him. “Do you think this thing will be useful?”
A dark light emerged from the Shrine of Bones.
Wu Siying’s pupils dilated hundreds of times when she saw the Shrine of Bones that Fang Heng took out casually.
The shock in her heart could not be any greater.
It was actually the Shrine of Bones!
Wu Siying looked at Fang Heng with surprise.
How did the holy weapon of the Necromancer Association end up in his hands?
“Where did you get it?”
“So it’s useful?”
Fang Heng got a positive answer and was relieved. He immediately took out the Shrine of Bones.
[Item: Shrine of Bones (damaged).]
Type: Holy artifact
Status: Damaged
Usage requirement: Proficient in necromancy
Description: A support-type holy artifact that can absorb and transform the aura of the death realm. It possesses many unknown powers. After repair, it can activate even more unknown abilities.
Additional skill 1 (purification): Able to absorb the aura of the death realm, vengeful spirits, unclean auras, and other auras, and purify them into a high concentration of the aura of death.
Additional skill 2 (soul bearing): Able to absorb and seal spirits (after a period of time, the sealed spirit’s consciousness can be erased and it can be controlled).
Additional skill 3 (Mausoleum Guardian): Summons a King Guard to fight for you. You can channel the aura of death into the King Guard through the Shrine of Bones, increasing its strength (the King Guard’s strength is related to the player’s current level of necromancy and basic attributes).
Fang Heng’s eyes were focused on the second skill, ‘soul bearing’.
Soul bearing could seal the target’s soul body, and it could even erase the soul body’s consciousness to control it.
Fang Heng didn’t pay attention to the Shrine of Bones when he first got it. Now that he re-examined the skill, wasn’t this soul bearing tailor-made for the Vampire King?
As for whether he could erase the Vampire King’s soul and consciousness and control it, Fang Heng didn’t want to be greedy for the time being. In short, he would seal the soul first!
Thinking of this, Fang Heng immediately injected his spiritual power into the Shrine of Bones!
