The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Bang!

Three overlapping explosions rang out, and in an instant, they spread in all directions.

The fire element contained within the flames exploded in Tistu's head and heart.

The heart immediately turned into fragments.

The skull also suffered considerable damage.

But Testus did not die as a result.

'Luckily, I'm no longer a pure flesh and blood being, but a half-undead, otherwise I would definitely have died from this attack.'

As Tistu was thinking this, he suddenly realized that the restrictions on his movements had been lifted.

But the three shadow dragons were still staring at him from three directions, gathering their strength for the next round of breath.

A swarm of skeletal rats was also tearing at the flesh on his feet.

Even the giant, upright skeletal rat stopped playing its flute.

Then, using the mouse's paw, it picked up the paintbrush and began to draw patterns on the ether.

There are enemies in every direction.

There may also be hidden enemies.

There's no way to avoid war; we have no choice but to fight.

The moment this thought arose, the external bone armor covering the surface of Testu's body immediately began to twist rapidly.

Some of the bone armor gathered in his hands, turning both of the opponent's arms into bone blades.

Another portion gathered on its legs, blocking the skeleton rat's bites.

The skeleton rat continued to tear at things as before.

However, the bone armor was too strong, so it did not continue to have a greater impact on the flesh as before.

"The mini skeleton rat is too small to attack easily."

In addition, since they can't bite through my bone armor, we can ignore that for now.

So, the first target of the attack...

As Tistu pondered this, he looked once more toward the location of the upright skeletal giant rat known as the Piper Ratman.

Then he quickly pushed off the ground with both feet and rushed towards the direction of the Pied Ratman.

But before it could reach the attack range of the bone blade, another dragon roar rang out.

"roar--"

Upon hearing this, Testu's expression immediately changed.

The dragon's roar did not originate from the three shadow dragons.

It was inside the skeleton of the Pied Ratman.

But judging from its appearance, there's nothing there.

Testus then came to understand the situation.

"Why is there another layer of disguise?"

The Piper Ratman's camouflage paint has not been removed.

He simply transformed from his initial rat-man form into a skeleton form, thus lowering Testu's guard.

The [Zhu Cai Wang Lu], who was also a member of the Ansu family, was among them.

The next moment, a dragon's breath, transformed from pigment, flew out from it.

It grew slightly larger when it came into contact with the pattern drawn by the Pied Ratman on the ether.

In no time at all, it struck Tistu's head.

boom!

Another explosion rang out.

In an instant, one-third of Testu's head turned into dust.

Even the half-soul, half-soul fire within it shattered slightly.

Then, the next moment, the sound of wings flapping rang out.

A miniature skull with bony wings detached from the Piper Ratman's body.

Then it flapped its wings and caught a fragment of soulfire that had fallen nearby.

Before Tistu could react, it glided towards the abandoned building a few meters away.

A short while later.

Accompanied by waves of spatial distortion.

Ansu, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, appeared here.

Then, he used a small pair of tweezers to pick up the fragment of soul fire brought by the [Forged Skull].

He then incorporated it into a piece of paint.

"The fragment of Tistu's soul has been obtained."

Next, you can use this to activate the [Overlay Twisted Alchemy Pigment].

Ansu thought to herself.

Then, with a thought, hundreds of skeleton rats appeared and ran towards Tistu.

Ansu then took out a paintbrush and dipped it in [Overlay Twisted Alchemy Paint].

In this way, runes were drawn on the ether particles in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Testu, caught in a pincer movement, also witnessed this scene.

His expression froze for a moment, then turned to anger:

"They're ignoring me and even using alchemical pigments like this?"

To Tistu, the figure before him bore no resemblance to anyone he remembered.

However, judging from the ability to materialize shadows, it is most likely Anzu, who is also in the alchemy workshop.

And the other party also had a reason to kill him.

"How arrogant!"

Despite the searing pain from the dragon's fiery breath and the compounded pain from the irregular modifications, Tistu commented on Ansu.

"In that case..."

"Let me show you the complete form that the magistrate of the lower realm has bestowed upon me."

Tistu grinned as he watched the swarm of skeleton rats rushing toward him.

At the same time, it activated a backup plan that would severely deplete both physical and spiritual lifespan.

The next moment, Testu's body rapidly expanded.

The remaining flesh and blood transformed into scarlet bones, which twisted together with the previous bone armor.

Before long, the humanoid body, which had been half covered by bone armor, disappeared.

Instead, a blood-red bone dragon nearly 10 meters long with fragments of soul fire inside its skull was formed.

Even in its bone dragon form, the opponent's body remained deformed as before.

It has a bony rat claw at the end of its tail.

Each claw has a unique appearance, as if they came from various magical creatures.

Even the skull of the dragon has features resembling an insect exoskeleton.

These are all side effects resulting from Tishtu absorbing bones.

But he didn't care.

As long as it works, that's fine.

So, the instant the transformation was complete, Testu immediately raised his head, which contained the fragmented soul fire, and then opened his mouth.

"roar--!"

The roar of the dragon came from the mouth of the bone dragon.

The next moment, a roar imbued with the might of a dragon resounded in all directions.

The moment they sensed the dragon's might, even more palm-sized skeletal rats immediately lost the ability to control their bodies.

Then, accompanied by a series of crashing sounds, they all fell to the ground.

It looked like a pile of real bones.

Even the Piper Ratman, the originator of the Skeleton Rat, became slightly slower in his movements.

Before long, the distorted dragon aura emanating from Testu also arrived at Ansu's location.

However, upon contact with the black robe and mask, it was blocked by the paint adhering to them.

Just moments later, it vanished without a trace.

It didn't even have the slightest impact on Ansu.

"oh?

It can actually unleash dragon's might?

Ansu became somewhat interested in this.

Prior to this, he was unaware that Tistu possessed the ability to transform into a blood-red, mutated bone dragon.

The pigments adhering to the robes and masks are not only for resisting the dragon's might, but for resisting all attacks containing energy.

in case the emergency.

However, even with such abilities, it is impossible to shield me from the interference of my [Superimposed Twisted Alchemy Pigment].

Ansu pondered for a moment, then began to draw upon the necromantic energy and shadow elements within her soul space.

And his own [Totem Spell - Shadow Missile].

The next moment, accompanied by subtle spatial distortions.

Missiles formed from shadow elements and the aura of the undead then appeared.

They flew towards Tistu's deformed bone dragon body from all directions.

Meanwhile, Anzu continued to use the [Superimposed Twisted Alchemy Pigment], which incorporated some of Tistu's Soulfire.

As before, various runes continued to be drawn on the ether particles.

Seeing that Ansu was still ignoring him and leisurely drawing patterns as if no one else was around, he realized that Ansu was still ignoring him.

Testu, attacked by missiles and swarms of rats from all directions, grew increasingly enraged.

Completely unaware that he had been hit by the special pigment breath of [Skull of the Cast Color], he was no longer able to maintain his rationality.
