Chapter 1258

As a relatively common undead race, the difference in individual strength of corpse ghosts ranged from Little Mia level to Xia De level. Strictly speaking, the giant amputated undead evil object that appeared at the end of the Battle of Midhillburg could also be classified into the ranks of "corpse ghosts."

And the gardener before him was clearly different from a normal corpse ghost. He possessed a normal rotten body, of course, but at the same time, he seemed to retain human intelligence. After crawling out of the snow, he first bowed slightly to Hattie Osenfort, and then pressed his hat and grabbed the shovel to look at Xia De.

Scattered black particles drilled out from his skin, drifting toward the sky against the direction of the falling snow. Pitch-black runes clung to the surface of his skin, but those twisted patterns failed to form words.

The power of blasphemy made the originally withered skin have color, and even the originally ordinary shovel became terrifying after being stained by the black patterns spreading from his hands.

"Asking for help, actually still making people fight a battle first."

Xia De muttered, but did not object. He frowned and observed the corpse ghost. With the blinking of his eyes, the miracle 【Demon Vision】 was activated again. In the strange field of vision, the only abnormality appearing around the corpse ghost was that the twisted pattern parts on the body surface could be interpreted, and their meanings were "Demonized," "Obedience," and "Desire."

This could not point out what the demon was.

"Speaking of which, can this be counted as a summoned creature?"

Xia De thought in his heart. If it counted as a summoned creature, his Yellow Moon miracle "Confusion" would have just the right effect.

【It probably doesn't count.】

"She" gave Xia De an answer in his heart, and at the same time, the demonized corpse ghost had already rushed up.

Black particles were pulled around his body, and his speed was extremely fast. Just as Xia De wanted to parry, the corpse ghost disappeared into particles in the snow, but Xia De could still see obvious traces of distortion in the air:

"Invisible?"

【Yes, but it doesn't pose a threat to you.】

As they spoke, the two had approached. The invisible corpse ghost swung the shovel and smashed it at Xia De's head, but with a clatter, amidst the splashing sparks, the pitch-black chain held by Xia De with both hands completely parried the shovel that could almost split the earth.

He felt that his spirit seemed to have decreased by a very slight amount. If he hadn't concentrated his attention, he almost wouldn't have felt it.

【It can absorb spirit through attacks, but it poses little threat to you.】

"Do demons always like to absorb something?"

The power of the shovel disappeared in the next moment, and the twisted corpse ghost silhouette burst into black light particles, and then there was wind behind Xia De.

【Spatial movement.】

Too late to turn around, he kicked backward fiercely. While the corpse ghost behind him deformed, Xia De dodged sideways and kicked the revealed enemy into the snow.

【When it performs spatial movement, it cannot maintain an invisible state.】

"What use is this to me?"

He didn't summon weapons like the Moonlight Greatsword that might expose his identity, only holding the chain with four Great Sin runes in his hand. His right hand shook, letting the chain rotate and make a whistling sound of breaking through the air, while the corpse ghost also crawled up in the snow, and the shovel bloomed with a faint blue light. The shovel looked like an ordinary item at first glance, but really feeling it at close range, this thing was extremely special even if it wasn't a relic.

Hattie Osenfort stood under the tree to the side, watching the battle between the two silently. Watching the corpse ghost disappear in the snow again, but this time, as Xia De's right foot stepped on the snow surface, while the soil and snow water splashed, an obvious shock wave appeared on the snow surface:

"Spatial Stability Halo?"

The chain in his hand was whipped out like a long snake. Amidst the splashing sparks and clattering sounds again, the invisible corpse ghost swung the shovel to slash at the tip of the chain, but the chain that was pressed toward the snow surface nimbly bypassed the shovel after being hit for the first time, and then quickly wrapped around the corpse ghost's legs.

【Great Sin Chain】 didn't seem to have a very good effect on it, the corpse ghost could still move. While Xia De recycled the chain and tried to pull it down, the corpse ghost gardener didn't hesitate to break his own leg with the shovel, but no blood flowed from the wound.

It retreated constantly, the broken right leg recovered quickly, and when it retreated to the distance where Xia De's 【Spatial Stability Halo】 could not affect it, it quickly transferred with its own spatial power, dodging the following chain.

The combat intelligence of this monster was not low. After discovering that it would definitely be controlled by the chain after close combat, it continued to wander on the edge of the 【Spatial Stability Halo】. Under normal circumstances, Xia De could easily rush up and solve it, but he didn't intend to expose too much this time, so he planned to use some uncommon methods.

The sound of breaking through the air struck, and the swinging shovel let the crescent-shaped faint blue light arc fly. While Xia De dodged sideways, the corpse ghost had already used spatial transfer and appeared far behind him, and then another crescent-shaped faint blue light arc was shattered by the swinging chain.

Clang!

The Great Sin Chain swept across the surroundings, and the two light arcs on the left and right were shattered at the same time. The spiritual weapon transformed by the miracle 【Great Sin Chain】 had no attack power, but its sturdiness was not much different from the 【Moonlight Greatsword】, and it was even sturdier than the 【Moonlight Greatsword】.

"Defeat him truly, let his business fail, let his ambition collapse, and finally in this manor, stab the sword into his chest. But you cannot kill him, he can be resurrected forever, so you must defeat him in the game he finally proposes."

"Resurrection is truly remarkable."

Xia De curled his lips:

"Why should I agree to you?"

Because you have the most noble soul. This answer was truly unexpected. Xia De looked at the woman inquiringly, but the latter did not explain:

"Please push aside the snow layer and take a look."

Xia De looked down. The snow layer by his feet automatically pushed aside to the side, revealing the soil. It was just that after the soil was scraped away by the spell 【Move Object】, he saw the broken stones in the soil. "Is there anything worth noting?" "My husband has many enemies. He will turn his enemies into stones, then bring them back here, and hammer them to pieces himself. Those souls are therefore permanently trapped in this land."

This sounded indeed like Stone Osenfort's style:

"Do you think that if I heard such a story, I would righteously express that I want to eradicate evil?"

The woman wearing the black veil shook her head. Xia De could see her indifferent eyes directly:

"You know him, which means you were chosen by him. If you have already noticed his abnormality, then you should understand that you also need help. The eyes of the evil spirit are also staring at you."

This was indeed the truth. According to the doctor, when Xia De defeated Stone Osenfort at Rhode cards for the first time, the demon behind him had already cast its gaze on him.

"I won't help you for nothing, what can you give me?"

Xia De actually didn't care what the other party gave him. Even if the woman just took out any piece of jewelry on her body, he would agree.

But unexpectedly again, Hattie Osenfort grabbed his right hand and pressed it against her own left chest.

The astonished Xia De first felt not the touch, but the warm heat:

"The reward is my soul."

"Sorry, what do I want your soul for?"

He asked back, breaking free from the other party's hand, but did not dwell on this question. His purpose had already been achieved:

"I agree to take on your entrustment, but not for any soul. I want to ensure that after I complete your husband's entrustment, I have the ability to get what I want. I need your help, tell me what I should do. Although I have some power, I still cannot deal with a monster that cannot be killed."

"She" laughed in his ear. So far, almost all the strong enemies Xia De had defeated had the label of "cannot be killed."

"Before giving you help, please forgive me, I also have to confirm how much power you have."

The woman wearing the veil said calmly. Xia De tilted his head and looked at her:

"What?"

The snow surface under the shovel in the distance trembled, and then a rotten human hand drilled out from underground.

"Please defeat him, the garden gardener who once served me loyally. He was killed and buried here because he caught a glimpse of my husband's secret."

She retreated to the dog house under the tree, and the rotten human hand that stretched out from the snow had already grabbed the shovel. Wearing a black hat, wearing a rotten blue bib overalls, with a hunched body and a height of two and a half meters, the corpse ghost crawled out from the snow and soil.
