Chapter 771: The Trajectory of Fate

"Bound souls, listen to my call and wake up!!"

With Ellie's shout, a holy light emerged from the spear, and then, under the light of the divine light, a figure appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed in the leather armor common to mercenaries, and he looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept in days. However, everyone in front of them could see almost at a glance that this figure looked exactly the same as the mercenary leader who had fought fiercely with them before.

After hearing Ellie's call, the mercenary leader opened his eyes blankly, he raised his head, and after seeing Ellie, the man's eyes shone a little brightly.

"Ah............ Your Highness, it turns out that you saved me from my untold suffering......... Thank you for your kindness, but ........." said the mercenary leader as he lowered his head and looked at his body. At this moment, his body was already in pieces, and it could be seen that starting from the limbs, the whole body gradually collapsed like a broken building block. “……… Looks like that's all I can do here........."

"Mr. Waffle........."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ellie also looked solemn. Of course she knew what that meant, and at this moment, this once famous powerhouse was already at the end of his powerhouse. His soul flame was about to collapse completely. At that time, he will not be able to go to heaven or hell, but will disappear forever between heaven and earth.

"Don't worry about me, Your Highness."

Perhaps sensing Ellie's expression, the mercenary leader barely smiled.

"This is our destiny, we are mercenaries. Neither heaven nor hell is for us. Maybe just disappear completely. It's the best choice for us......... Well, I can feel that time is running out. Let's not spend precious time on such meaningless pleasantries. My power is waning......... Your Highness, since you did not let me die, but deliberately summoned my soul, you must not have come to greet me. ”

"That's true, Mr. Waffle."

Hearing the mercenary captain's words, Ellie also restrained the expression on her face, and then she raised her head, looked at the man in front of her seriously, and then asked.

"I beg your pardon. I know the next question can be very painful, but I'm going to ask it anyway. How did you get transformed into the undead? Also, what is the true purpose of the King of the Undead Legion? What are you here for? ”

Hearing Ellie's inquiry, the mercenary leader was silent for a moment, and the soul fire in his eyes couldn't stop beating, as if it represented the beginning of some kind of pain. But eventually, he spoke slowly and answered Ellie's question.

"I'm not a necromancer. Miss Saint, I don't know how these undead have transformed us. I just remember that time, we were surrounded by countless undead creatures, and we killed a lot of undead creatures. But their numbers are increasing unabated, and in this case, we simply cannot defeat them. Ultimately. We're dead, but I can feel it. My soul did not leave the body......... Logically speaking, at the moment of death. My soul should leave this shell and go to a place where I was supposed to be. But this was not the case, and I felt that my soul was bound to death before I could leave my body. It's like the prisoners, bound by invisible chains. Strange to say, when I was restrained, I felt as if I had become a puppet and could only do what I was told. Although I still have my thoughts, I can do whatever I hear without hesitation without any doubts about it............"

"Soul Bondage...... How is this possible........."

Hearing the mercenary captain's answer, Ellie's face suddenly changed drastically. If what the mercenary captain says is correct, then things are in trouble!

It's not that there are no soul-binding spells in the world, demons will make soul prisms (the same thing that Jenn sells for money), and lichs will also make life boxes to store souls. And even a priest like Ellie has several means to imprison evil spirits. In fact, she has now summoned the soul of the mercenary leader again, and strictly speaking, she is one of them.

However, whether it's magic, magic, or whatever, they can only take effect after the soul leaves the body. Even if they are immortal lichs, their souls are not really in their bodies, but are moved to their life boxes after they die. And the general awakening of the dead is basically the use of negative energy to dominate the corpse to achieve the purpose of reactivation. Instead of actually stuffing the soul back into the body intact.

Of course, in some legends, it is not without the deeds of the dead brave who were resurrected by the demon king and then used to do evil. But even in those stories, most of the demon kings used some strong magic items to imprison the soul of the brave, and then used the "remote control" method to drive his corpse. So this kind of story often ends with the protagonist breaking a certain prop in the hands of the demon king, and then liberating the manipulated brave, and then the brave man cooperates with the protagonist to defeat the demon king, and then dies with a smile.

It can be seen from this that neither the historical records nor the stories of the bards have ever been able to bind the soul back to the body after death -- this is a complete resurrection!!

It is precisely because of this that Ellie was so shocked after hearing the mercenary captain's answer, although she had also guessed that the other party's strength must be beyond imagination, but she didn't expect the other party to have such an ability to defy the sky.

Compared to Ellie's shock, Jenn was very indifferent. He knew very well that Klein's alliance was the Nether Princess, and the resurrection of the dead was the realm of the gods, and Klein had not yet become a god, so it was naturally impossible for him to have such abilities. But the Nether Princess is one of the ancient gods who have mastered death for thousands of years, and others can not resurrect the dead, but there is absolutely no reason why the Nether Princess will not. What's more, what she is best at is playing with souls, even the vampire and Nether princess can make it, and it is simply easy for her to stuff the souls of the dead back into her body and resurrect them. I guess she gave Klein some magic weapon, or some mysterious ancient secret method or something.

It's just that Jenn is also a little unhappy about the Nether Princess, it's not that he can't understand why the Nether Princess chose Klein as an alliance, first, Klein is an undead creature, strictly speaking, it is also within the jurisdiction of the Nether Princess, it is easier to call, and he is not afraid of his defection. Second, Klein is the strongest and has the best hope of passing the trial. It's just one thing to understand, it's another thing to accept. In particular, the Netherworld's behavior of marrying Nabelius to Klein made Jenn very unhappy, but he was also raised by himself, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders!

Although I can't beat it now, sooner or later I have to find an opportunity to settle this account.

"We don't know what that guy is trying to do."

The mercenary leader then proceeded to answer Ellie's second question, apparently knowing that he was running out of time.

"Shame on you, Your Highness, we have never even seen that man, and in those days we were like walking corpses, and we could only hear a cold, gloomy voice ringing in our heads, and then order ourselves to do it. As for who the other party really is and what it looks like, we haven't seen it. So we don't know exactly what the other side is trying to do, but ..............."

At this point, the mercenary leader paused, and then he spoke.

"But......... I do know that lately, that guy seems to be looking for something. ”

"Something?"

Hearing this, Ellie immediately cheered up, and in the face of Ellie's inquiry, the mercenary captain nodded.

"That's right, it seems to be called a Tablet of Destiny......... He sent many people dressed as ordinary adventurers to search deep into the Crane Continent. Originally, we were also part of the search team, but we had other tasks on a temporary basis........."

Speaking of this, the figure of the mercenary leader has gradually begun to become thin, which means that his remaining soul power is not much. Although Ellie's face was obviously a little ugly when she heard the word "Tablet of Fate", seeing that the current mercenary captain was about to disappear, she hurriedly collected her mood and continued to ask.

"What task? Is it related to that monster? What the hell is that monster? ”

"That......... That monster is ............"

At this moment, the remaining soul power of the mercenary leader is getting less and less, and hearing this, Jenny, who was standing behind everyone, raised her eyebrows, and then held the longbow with her backhand. If this guy says something he shouldn't say, then he doesn't mind secretly using some small tricks to stop him from revealing information. However, Jenny was not particularly worried, with her own knowledge of the power of Nabellius's fate, if the information this guy said was really bad for Nabellius, then he would definitely not be able to say it.

Because, it's fate.

"What's that monster?!"

"That monster is......... Be......... The ......... of the Immortal King ..............."

However, the soul power of the mercenary leader ended here, he barely opened his mouth, wanting to say the following words, but at this time, the soul fire in his body was finally completely extinguished, and everyone could only watch the already illusory figure in front of him completely disappear under the sweep of a whirlwind, and disappeared without a trace.

"Hey..............."

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. You must know that they have been speculating about the relationship between these newly emerged mutant creatures and the undead legion for a long time, and now they are finally getting the news, but it is in vain, but ......... I finally have a clue.

"It seems that these mutant monsters are really inseparable from the undead legion!"

Looking at the charred corpse of the monster not far away, Ellie lowered her face and spoke. Hearing her speak, Jenn could only bow his head silently, and then light a lamp for Klein in his heart.

You just keep carrying this pot............ Eldest brother. (To be continued.) )
