Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 78 Violin

On the windowsill lay a woman's head, behind which was a headless corpse.

The headless corpse held a violin in its left hand and gently stroked its head with its right.

Herag stopped digging, stood up, and looked the head in the eye. Silence fell over the scene.

All the devil flowers closed their eyes and drooped their flower heads.

The headless corpse raised its left hand, placed the violin on its shoulder, then lifted its head and slid it back and forth on the strings, blood dripping down the strings and smearing blood streaks on the violin.

The woman's head seemed to be immersed in beautiful music, her eyes closed and a smile on her lips, as she savored the violin music.

In Hrag's eyes, a large number of negative energy particles began to gather by the window.

Without the slightest hesitation, he fired three corrosive arrows at the headless corpse who was playing the violin.

After the corrosive arrow hit, the headless corpse was quickly corroded at the point where the arrow struck, making a sizzling sound.

The woman opened her eyes angrily, her face still showing signs of pain.

Herag raised his hand, and the ring on his hand flashed. A small fireball was quickly formed and then flew towards the other side.

The violin music soon began, and the headless corpse's right arm suddenly expanded rapidly, transforming into a giant arm covered in red hair in a short time.

The arm was larger than the headless corpse, making it look very incongruous.

The small fireball struck the massive arm and exploded, quickly charring the surface and releasing a foul smell of burnt flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the violin rang out again, and the headless corpse swung its arm and punched Hrag.

The distance was too close, and Herag didn't have time to dodge. The fist struck his three-layered shield, sending him flying several meters away before he landed on the ground.

After landing on the ground, he quickly adjusted his posture, rolled over to dissipate most of the force, and then drew his longsword.

Protected by the shield, he suffered almost no damage.

Herag glanced at the shield's condition. The outermost layer was an ice shield, which had already suffered considerable damage and could probably only withstand one more attack before shattering.

"The blessing of the wind spirits..."

Herag used another enchanted item, increasing his agility by two points.

His eyes were fixed on the headless corpse, and then he quickened his pace and moved closer.

The sound of the violin began, and the arm swung again.

This time, Hrag had enough time to react and enough space to adjust his position.

With Deep Blue's assistance, they easily dodged the attack.

The headless corpse moved somewhat clumsily, taking a little time to retract its fist after each attack.

Herag seized the opportunity and closed in on the headless corpse in the blink of an eye, then slashed at the violin with his sword.

He observed that the violin was surrounded by countless negative energy particles. The headless corpse would only move after the violin played, suggesting that the violin was likely directing the headless corpse.

The longsword struck the violin, producing a metallic clang.

Helag wasn't surprised; he had anticipated that the violin might be rather stiff.

He gripped the sword with both hands and began to violently strike the violin, producing a continuous clanging sound.

The violin was clearly not invincible either, and it was soon slashed with sword marks.

Helag reached out, grabbed the violin, and slammed it to the ground.

The music stopped abruptly, but Helag didn't stop; he frantically smashed the violin.

It was smashed on the ground, smashed against the wall; the whole scene was a scene of violence.

boom! boom! boom!

The loud noise sounded like a construction site.

Herag didn't know how many times he had smashed it. When he stopped to look, he realized that several strings of the violin had broken and the body of the violin had been damaged in many places.

He threw the violin on the ground and stomped on it.

"Corrosion Arrow!"

"Small Fireball!"

……

Herag cast a few more spells until the negative energy particles on the violin slowly dissipated, and then he stopped.

He looked up and saw the headless corpse by the window slumped helplessly on the windowsill, its enormous right hand now restored to its original shape.

The clothes on his right hand were torn, revealing his pale arm.

"He should be dead."

Herag glanced at the broken violin on the ground, feeling as if he had violently smashed something to death.

The devil flowers in the garden quietly raised their heads to look at him. When Herag turned his head, all the devil flowers looked away, as if Herag were very terrifying.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Herag took out his shovel and continued digging. There were still more than ten Demon Flowers left to dig up.

Soon, the garden was filled with calls once again.

If an outsider didn't look, they might think someone was having some kind of frivolous party in this open-air garden.

About half an hour later, Herag finished digging up all the Devil Flowers in the garden, harvesting forty-two Devil Flowers.

He looked around and, after confirming that there was nothing else of value in the garden, prepared to leave.

There are many houses in the town, and this garden is just the ground floor garden of one of them.

Herag continued forward, and the sound of footsteps behind him rang out again.

He proceeded more cautiously this time, sensing from the recent events that something must exist in every house with its lights on.

Just because he can solve the violin problem doesn't mean he can solve other things. It's best to proceed with caution.

Herag continued along the road in town and noticed that there seemed to be more houses in town.

He remembered that when he first entered Xigu Town, there weren't so many houses in the town at the foot of the mountain.

"Sir! I've finally found you!" Robert's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Herag turned around and saw Robert calling out to him, panting heavily.

"Don't come any closer." Seeing Robert about to approach, Herag immediately drew his sword and pointed it at him.

Robert retreated somewhat awkwardly: "I was too abrupt, sir. It really is me. I'm not some filthy thing that turned into me."

"Where did you just go?" Herag asked coldly.

Robert was also puzzled: "I don't know either. I remember we were drinking in the pub, and then you disappeared in the blink of an eye. I came to town to look for you, but this damn town is completely deserted."

"Then I knocked on the door of that house, and in the blink of an eye I was inside. I panicked and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open no matter what I did; it was like it was locked."

"I went to open the window to jump out, but the window was locked and very sturdy. Even with my strength, I couldn't break it."

"Just when I was really trying to get out and didn't know what to do, I suddenly found myself back on the street, and then I saw you right in front of me."
