Chapter 23: Ancient Barrow Corpse
After dealing with the corpse demon, Dui breathed a sigh of relief.

But it also made him more alert. The noise just now was so loud that it might have awakened other corpses in the ancient tomb.

We must act quickly and decisively.

He hurriedly continued walking forward according to the information given by Tom, and kept paying attention to the tombstones passing by.

The writing on the tombstone had been corroded and could not be seen clearly, but Dui was going there to find the tomb of a prince.

He was the last prince of the Kingdom of Cardolan. He died in the battle to defend the city of Angmar against the Witch-king and was buried in the Barrow-Downs. Tom said that there was the sharp knife that Dui was looking for in his tomb.

However, before Dui could find the prince's tomb, the system responded first.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating the Barrow Mound, do you want to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining the black magic book "Curse and Counter-Curse"! ]

A book with a hideous and painful face painted on the cover appeared out of nowhere.
A black magic book? Dui was also surprised. He didn't expect to get this during this sign-in.

But he had no time to look through the black magic book now, because the fog around him suddenly became very thick, and there was also the sound of something breaking out of the ground.

It was obvious that there were corpse demons coming out, and more than one.

Uneasy, Dui added more than a dozen layers of protection to himself, then held his wand tightly, ready to guard against the corpse demon that might rush out of the fog at any time. At the same time, the corpse demon's greatsword was suspended beside him, ready to fly out and pierce the enemy at any time.

The next moment, fog rolled in, strong winds blew, and a corpse demon attacked first.

As expected, he was bounced back by the magic barrier and was hit by Dui's petrification spell before he landed on the ground.

Before Dui could cast another spell, three more corpses rushed out of the fog, holding cursed and ominous swords in their hands.

The corpse demon was very fast. It arrived in front of Dui in the blink of an eye, split a layer of magic barrier with one sword, and tried to continue attacking.

"Petrify everyone! Petrify everyone! Petrify everyone!" Dui reacted quickly and cast several spells in succession.

But this time the corpses were obviously smarter. Except for one that was petrified, the other two corpses knew how to dodge and quickly avoided the spell.

However, before the two corpse demons could feel proud, the corpse demon sword controlled by Dui turned into an afterimage and instantly pierced through the body of a corpse demon.

The corpse demon's body paused, and the next second it was hit by Dui's curse, and the greatsword in its hand was disarmed.

The remaining corpse demon failed to escape, and the disarmed greatsword became Dui's most powerful weapon. It was surrounded by flying swords on three sides and was instantly pierced into a string by the three greatswords. Finally, it fell into the aftermath of the other corpse demons.

After dealing with the last corpse, Dui quickly cast several petrification spells on it and the other corpses to prevent them from breaking free again.

Then, just like he did with the first corpse demon, he used his own sword to attack its body, and used the corpse demon's greatsword to continuously cut down the corpse demon's health bar. Finally, accompanied by several streams of black air rushing straight into the sky, several corpse demons fell to the ground powerlessly and quickly turned into a pile of bones.

Dui put away several of the corpse's swords and originally planned to speed up the process, but when he saw some jewelry burial objects on the corpse, he stopped and wrapped all the jewelry with old clothes.

I didn't touch them with my hands at all because these jewels were cursed like the greatsword.

After putting away the jewelry, Duima continued walking forward without stopping until he came to a tall tomb made of white marble, and finally stopped.

"It should be here!" Dui looked at the map Tom gave him. The location marked on it was a white marble tomb.

The inscriptions on the tombstone had been eroded beyond recognition by time, but the imposing size of the tomb still indicated the high status of its occupant. The entrance to the tomb was broken and blocked by many rubble. It took Dui considerable effort to move these rubble away, revealing the dark and deep entrance to the cave.

"Oh, I never thought that one day I would become a tomb robber!" Dui sighed, and then resolutely entered the tomb.

The tomb passage was spacious enough for a person to walk upright. Dui waved his wand, and a ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand, flying in front of Dui and illuminating the entire tomb passage.

There are four ancient swords of corpse demons surrounding Dui, which can strike any corpse demon that rushes out at any time.

The tomb passage was long and narrow and winding. Dui walked for a long time before finally reaching the tomb chamber.

The tomb chamber was very empty, with nothing in it except a sarcophagus placed in the center.

What surprised Dui was that he had not been attacked by any corpse demons since he entered the tomb.

Dui did not relax in the face of this abnormal situation, but became even more alert.

He looked at the sarcophagus.

Since there was no corpse demon in the tomb, the only possible hiding place is in this sarcophagus.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

The lid of the sarcophagus moved slowly, giving the things inside no chance to jump out. Dui immediately cast several petrification spells into the gap of the sarcophagus. Only after making sure that the things inside could not move did he remove the lid of the sarcophagus completely.

Illuminated by the fluorescent spell, the face of the corpse lying in the coffin was revealed. Its face was hideous and hideous, with dry and rotten skin tightly attached to its skull, and a pair of cold and bloodthirsty black eyes flashing with a strange light.

If Dui had not immobilized him with the petrification spell, he would probably rush out of the sarcophagus and hurt people the moment the coffin was opened.

Moreover, the dress of this corpse was different from the ones seen before. It wore a silver crown inlaid with gems on its head, and many precious jewelry accessories on its body. There was also a cold sword on its chest.

"Alas, he can't even rest in peace after death, what a poor guy!" Dui felt sympathy for the corpse in the coffin.

As far as he knew, this wight should be the last prince of the Kingdom of Cardolan, who was killed in the battle to defend the city against the Witch-king of Angmar, and his corpse was turned into a wight by the Witch-king of Angmar. How tragic!
"Forget it, since I'm a good person, I'll help you get rid of it!" Dui said, then he first took off his big sword, and then controlled the five ancient swords of the corpse demon, and directly gave him a set of ten thousand swords piercing the heart service.

But just as Dui was about to put an end to the corpse demon, a dark force burst out from the corpse demon and instantly broke free from the spell.

The corpse demon's eyes turn red and burn like hellfire, emitting an evil, negative force that can make people fall into fear, despair, coma, and even death.

The corpse demon stared at Dui with angry eyes, and a dry, hoarse, cold voice rang out from its throat: "Who are you? How dare you kill the servant of the great Witch King!"

Under the cover of the dark power, Dui felt suffocated, a strong negative emotion surged into his heart, and he was involuntarily surrounded by fear and despair, and the several ancient corpse swords he controlled were also shaky.

Dui bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain temporarily freed him from this negative emotion. Then he waved his wand in the rhythm of conducting music. Golden notes popped out from the tip of the wand, and cheerful music echoed in the tomb.

The joy brought by the music magic instantly suppressed the negative energy brought by the corpse demon.

While the corpse demon was stunned, Dui burst out with all his strength again, "Turn them all into stone!" A dazzling white light hit the corpse demon, turning it into stone again.

Then, without giving the opponent time to break free, the five ancient swords of the corpse demon delivered a final blow, directly piercing through the corpse demon's head.

A flicker of resentment flashed across the corpse demon's red eyes, then completely extinguished, leaving only a cold voice echoing in the tomb: "I will remember you, wizard..."

The black air in the corpse demon's body dissipated, and the corpse instantly decayed into a pile of bones.
