From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead - Chapter 186

c183 Apostolic transformation

“How come the Fengshen Pterosaur appears here? What’s going on?”

Barbara held her wand tightly and looked solemnly at the giant pterosaur hovering above her head.

Beside her, there were two other sixth-level adventurers who met each other in this area by chance.

Because the maze will give birth to elemental puppets based on the strongest individual in a group, so even if people from the same team come in, people with different strengths will leave separately.

Although not absolute, eventually people of the same level will be more likely to run into each other.

In front of the three adventurers, a six-meter-tall rock giant with an aura no weaker than Level 6 was kneeling on the ground, his body covered with large and small gaps.

Originally, Barbara and others were about to knock it down, but the appearance of the Aeolus Pterosaur made them stop.

“Gah——!” The pterosaur overhead suddenly swooped down, its huge claws reaching towards the mutilated and seriously injured rock giant on the ground.

“It wants to steal the Philosopher’s Stone!”

The fragments of the Pseudo Philosopher’s Stone can delay the decline of one’s own potential, keep the body in peak condition, and increase the possibility of breaking through to the next level. This is the main goal of these captains.

The three adventurers were shocked and angry, and they all attacked the pterosaur:

Barbara waved her staff and released a thick, straight beam of lightning; another mage covered the rock giant with a shield; and a warrior threw a short spear at the pterosaur;

——They can be sure that this level 5 monster can be killed instantly without any unnecessary movements. This is the experience accumulated over the years…

However, the next second, something incredible happened to the adventurers.

“Gah!”

At the critical moment, the pterosaur manipulated the airflow and suddenly rotated its body to avoid the lightning beam and short spear. Its sharp claws shattered the shield around the rock giant and completely crushed its split head.

It opened its mouth to hold the floating crystal fragments, spread its wings, and like a big kite, took off in the wind and quickly rose into the sky.

“Ah?!” Barbara and others were stunned.

The pterosaur erupted very quickly and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, being teleported to no one knows where.

“Is that the Fengshen Pterosaur?” A mage frowned, showing an incomprehensible look. “I have never seen a pterosaur fly like that. It will suddenly spin to dodge when it dives. Moreover, it is stronger than the average individual. A lot, both in terms of strength and speed…”

The warrior snorted coldly, “I’ve never heard of a pterosaur going to the ruins to grab the Philosopher’s Stone!”

Barbara said hesitantly: “I heard before that some monsters on some floors above showed extremely abnormal behavior and were suspected of being controlled by others. This pterosaur may also have been tamed and controlled by others.”

“Hmph! The guild should also pay attention to this matter! We will report it to the city lord and others when we get back.”

“I was just careless. If I see that pterosaur again, it will definitely not be able to escape!”

The three adventurers were angry and helpless, so they had no choice but to continue on their way.

…

On the other side, there is a mountain forest somewhere in the ruins.

“Who are you…?”

The two sixth-level mages looked nervous and looked at the three mysterious men in black robes across from them with vigilance.

The three men in black robes covered most of their faces with black cloth, revealing only a pair of completely dark eyes. Their auras were strange and their appearance was equally strange.

The leading man in black robe said in a low and cold voice: “Didn’t you already guess it? We are called the Dark Faction by the guild…”

Before he could finish his words, the two mages waved their wands and released spells. With a flash that could temporarily blind them, a burning lava shell and a purple thunder ball flashing with electric arcs flew over!

“Useless.”

The leading man in black robe waved his hand, and the dark magic power instantly surged out, forming a large whirlpool and blocking the two incoming spell missiles.

“Stop them,” he said quietly.

One of the men beside him took out a silver circular compass and turned a circle of metal engravings on it. An invisible wave spread out quickly, constricting the surrounding space.

Space props that can prohibit teleportation!

The two mages looked horrified as the portal they had just opened suddenly disappeared.

“Let’s do it.”

“Yes, Master Priest.”

The two men in black robes took the order, stretched out sharp claws covered with black scales from their sleeves, and the next second they turned into afterimages and rushed out.

With a piercing scream, they rushed in front of the two mages in an instant. The devil-like claws easily broke the protective shield and penetrated their chests. Scarlet blood gushes out like spring water!

“Uh, uh…”

Blood flowed from the corner of a mage’s mouth, and he looked in horror at the enemy’s true appearance after his hood and mask fell off.

——It was not a human appearance, but covered with ugly flesh bumps and black scales, and the facial features were twisted and animalistic, like the face of a monster.

And their robes also extended a pair of dark flesh wings from their backs, like bats… no, devil’s wings.

“I turned into an apostle…you…” A mage gritted his teeth and said half a sentence before he died completely.

The other one was also dying and about to die.

Two sixth-level great magisters were defeated in an instant.

The man in black robes, known as the Master Priest, came over. He stretched out his hand, which had only four toes and was covered with coarse brown hair, like it belonged to some kind of hoofed creature, and gently stroked the head of the severely injured and dying mage.

“Rejoice, you were chosen to become an apostle and gain eternal life and eternal faith.”

The mage’s blood dropped on the grass and began to flow automatically, forming a glowing red circular circle with an eye in the middle.

Then he was placed in the center of the magic circle, and three men in black robes surrounded him, chanting obscure spells in their mouths, and the light of the magic circle became more and more blazing.

A few minutes later, the priest of the dark sect opened his arms and said in a solemn voice with solemn eyes: “Lord Danterian, please turn him into a new apostle of the abyss.”

“Uh uh uh……”

The mage lying on the ground groaned, his body twitched, and his whole body began to deform rapidly.

——His head swelled and deformed into a “heart shape”. His facial features were squeezed together and completely distorted. The flesh and blood under the skin quickly diminished. His limbs were as thin as bamboo poles, and the pierced chest turned into an overgrown… A ferocious mouth with sharp teeth.

“Well–!”

He stood up and knelt down weakly.

The eyes squeezed into thin slits by the huge head kept crying, and the mouth shrunk into a small hole let out a sharp voice:

“I…I…wuwu…”

The mage who was forcibly transformed into an apostle was crying.

It is difficult to describe his current appearance. There is no doubt that it is a cursed appearance. It is not similar to any normal life. It is a thousand times uglier than a monster. It is the most twisted monster.

“Everyone’s apostle form is different. This is what you should look like.”

The dark priest said: “You have now gained more powerful power. Accept your fate and kill for the God of the Abyss.”

His words seemed to have magic power, making the mage want to obey from the bottom of his heart.

“Yes… I understand…” The mage put his slender limbs on the ground, crawling like a beast, and slowly lowered his head.

Weird black magic power surged through his body, and his aura was much stronger than before he was transformed into an apostle.

“very good.”

The dark priest looked into the distance, clenched his four-toed palm, and said in a deep voice: “This time, everyone in the spiral of contradictions will become sacrifices and servants of the abyss…”
