Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 76 Another (Second Update)
“During the Undead Virus Riot, the real reason for the terrible casualties around was that Katoon, who created the Undead Virus, also inhaled a large amount of the Undead Virus and mutated.

Katoon, who had completely completed his undead transformation, became a super monster with the power of a seven-ring legend and almost infinite magic points.

He was just like Irene who turned into a fire mummy, searching for blood food everywhere. He slaughtered all the living creatures around his magic tower, and blood filled the sky.

Later, the Holy See dispatched an order of angel knights led by a demigod bishop to successfully deal with him.

Although Katoen's experiment failed, his experimental results were spread and became the first-hand research material for modern lich transformation rituals.

Most of the liches in the Yasha world owe Katoun. No matter what, he is a role model and a pioneer on the path of lich.

With my current strength, even if I use all my strength, I will not be Katoon's opponent. I must first complete the second wave of trials, get rewards, strengthen myself. And comprehend more magic, then I have a chance to fight Katoon. "

Richard searched the village while thinking.

In Richard's elemental vision, a large amount of undead virus floated in the air, like fog and dust, and swayed in the air like sea water.

Richard narrowed his eyes.

"Under normal circumstances, these undead viruses are evenly dispersed in the air, but once there is a villager nearby who is about to mutate or has successfully mutated, these undead viruses will gather towards the location of that villager.

The concentration of undead virus around is so high, probably because of Irene.

Now that Irene has returned to normal, the undead virus surrounding Irene's home should gradually dissipate.

Richard thought as he pushed open the door next to Irene's house.

But the moment he entered the door, he saw two bodies lying on the ground in a pool of blood!
Richard's pupils shrank.

The two bodies had similar causes of death. There were obvious burn marks on their necks and chests. Their eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief.

Richard immediately realized that something was wrong, there was another fire mummy that mutated at the same time as Irene!

"where?!"

At this moment, Richard suddenly felt a chill on his back, a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.

His body reacted before his mind did!
Richard squatted on the ground. Then he suddenly jumped forward, rolled twice on the ground, and finally stopped when he hit the wall.

boom!
A fire mummy less than 1.2 meters tall fell to the ground, with its head tilted and blood-red eyes staring at Richard in confusion.

He seemed to be wondering why he hadn't been able to tackle Richard like he had tackled his parents.

Richard took a breath of cold air and looked towards the ceiling.

There was a long, dark trail of hand and foot prints on the ceiling.

Flame Path: There is a chance that they will ignore the terrain when moving, and there is a chance that the place they pass by will catch fire and create a wall of fire. 】

Oh no, Richard felt a chill in his heart.

Unlike Irene, who had just transformed and had not yet fully adapted to her body, the one in front of him was a completely mutated fire mummy with full second-ring combat power.

Richard would not be afraid if it stood there stupidly and fought against him. With his strength, it would definitely not be a problem to deal with the opponent.

Richard was afraid that he would slip away.

How could those skinny villagers in the village withstand his blow? He pounced on them and bit them to death in one bite.

Moreover, as a fire mummy, he might create a wall of fire when wandering around. Any wall of fire that sets a house on fire could cause chaos in the village.

If one or two more villagers become mutated undead in the chaos, it could lead to heavy casualties among the villagers.

“The main task of the second wave of trials is for me to solve the crisis in the village.

I don't know what all the criteria for success or failure of the second wave of trials are, but ensuring the survival rate of the villagers is undoubtedly one of them.

Too many villagers died, the village no longer exists, and there is no point in solving the crisis.

I regret it so much. In order to restore Irene's grandmother's eyesight, I have already switched the magic to the first-level magic [Healing]. Now it's not the cooldown time for magic switching yet, and there is no way to control it.

If that's the case, then that's the only way."

Richard touched his shirt, his eyes fixed, picked up the disintegration staff, and rushed towards the flaming zombies with big strides.

But at this moment, the fire mummy actually stood there, screamed, turned around and ran out the door.

As luck would have it, a long wall of fire rose up right under its feet, blocking Richard's way.

"Fuck!"

Richard was startled and stopped in his tracks. Richard, who was familiar with magic, knew that the damage of this wall of fire was 30 points, which was about the same as the damage of being bitten by a fire mummy 10 times.

If he crashed into the wall of fire, he would lose more than half of his health and be burned all over his body.

"The probability of a fire mummy leaving a wall of fire when it moves is very low. It would take the fire element in its body to go riot. I have encountered this. I am really cursed by God."

Richard cursed and kicked the wall next to him hard!

The door is blocked by a firewall, so I won’t go through it!

The effect of the extraordinary divine power had not yet ended, and Richard kicked a big hole in the wall with one kick.

As soon as he rushed out the door, he saw the long charred footprints left by the fire mummy rushing towards Irene's house!
Damn! The person I just saved.

Richard cursed inwardly and quickly accelerated to rush over!
But before Richard could run two steps, there was a bang, and the fire mummy did not go into the big hole left by Richard, but instead hit the wall head-on, making itself dizzy and standing there with a confused look on its face.

Richard: ...

He probably wanted to get on the roof.

But if there is a probability that he can ignore the terrain, there is a higher probability that he cannot ignore the terrain. Coupled with his uncontrolled and random actions, he will run into the wall.

This type of soldier is really humorous.

The fire mummy is stupid, but Richard is not.

He seized the opportunity and rushed forward, hitting the back of the fire mummy's head hard with a stick!

boom!
The "Disintegrating Skull Crusher" still performed stably, and it immediately confused the fire mummy.

The flaming mummy wanted to turn around and fight back, but his body staggered uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Richard stepped on the fire mummy's chest. At this time, as long as he took out the wet handkerchief, he could turn the fire mummy back into a villager just like he helped Irene.

But after he took out the handkerchief, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

This fire mummy was different from Irene. He was just a child who was estimated to be only seven or eight years old, and his parents had undoubtedly died at his hands.

When the undead virus attacks, people are not unconscious, but their bodies are taken over by the undead virus, and their consciousness cannot control their bodies. They know everything that happened during the mutation.

If this seven or eight-year-old child is restored to health, he will have to face the fact that he killed his parents with his own hands. This is too heavy for this child.

Should I save him? Or should I just let him remain as a flaming corpse and kill him, which would also be considered as a way to free him. After all, this was just a trial, not reality.

Richard hesitated for only a moment and then made a quick decision.

“It wasn’t the kid’s fault that killed his parents, it was the Undead virus’s fault.

But the kid is still young after all and doesn't realize this.

After he recovers, he will be in more pain than death, and he cannot afford such a sin. Even if I save him, he will still have to face the difficult decision of committing suicide or not.

After all, it would be too painful and cruel for the little boy to face the heavy fact of killing his parents alone!
But I am different. I am an adult and a wizard. I have a firm mind and can bear any sin.

Let me make the decision for him."

Richard put away his handkerchief, raised the skull crusher again, and banged it.

Flame mummy, dead.

A large amount of experience suddenly emerged from the body of the fire mummy and entered Richard's body, which killed Richard.

"Ah! So many experience points, much more than the skeleton soldiers, this must be the kid's fault.

It hurts so much, so much, so much! It makes me numb from the pain."

Richard made faces and tried hard not to scream.

Richard loosened his foot that was stepping on the fire corpse. After losing his life, the souls and viruses in the fire corpse would slowly dissipate.

In another 7 or 8 years, the fire mummy will turn back into a human corpse.

If we really want to exaggerate, killing a fire mummy is actually not much different from killing someone.

This made Richard feel a little complicated.

Fortunately, this is a trial and he can do whatever he wants, otherwise he really doesn't know what choice he will make.

“Well, we have all come to this dangerous world of swords and magic, and killing is inevitable.

I have never killed anyone before because I was lucky and always had someone protecting me. Now there is no one to protect me, and I will eventually face these things alone.

I don’t kill now, but I will kill in the future, so I’ll just desensitize myself.”

As soon as the thought of killing arises, you will feel the world become wide.

Richard was determined to treat this trial as his own playground, put aside his already limited morals, and do everything he wanted to do.
