The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Now, he didn't know what to do.

But just when he didn't know how to face Lily, or how to face Sham himself in the future, Sham suddenly said something he couldn't believe: Sham's surname was actually Hatu!

She was not only the daughter of Viscount Hatu, who was hanged because of him, but also the object of Likat's secret love, who had dueled with him, and even more so the one who sent Kelar to help him capture the wandering spirit and save Yusaha's life.

Furthermore, she told Lu Ming everything about why she became his housekeeper and why she threw herself at him.

What surprised Lu Ming the most was that Sham was actually a swordsman, just like Ricard! In other words, during their passionate lovemaking at night, Sham had countless opportunities to kill him!

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Ming's troubled expression, Sham wrapped his arms around Lu Ming's neck from behind, cheek to cheek, and asked with a smile, "You can use Yusaha, so why can't I? Besides, she's not her. I really like you."

Gently stroking Sham's smooth, slender arm, Lu Ming smiled as if he had made a decision. Turning around, he hugged Sham and said with a smile, "Are you planning to marry me too? Just like Lily?"

"Yes! I'm not Yusaha, I wouldn't leave the person who loves me aside. I sincerely want to marry you!" Being hugged, Sham smiled happily and tapped Lu Ming's nose with his fair finger.

Hearing Sham's words, Lu Ming smiled and kissed Sham.

He knew Sham was also using him, but compared to Yusahar, who was used and then discarded, this Sham was at least honest with him. There was nothing he was hiding.

Moreover, he could sense Sham's sincerity; she genuinely wanted to marry him, unlike Yusahar, who couldn't even mention a wedding date.

In addition, some of his ambitions also required the support of a noble family.

What's wrong with you, hairy crab? No! No! No! Where am I? By the campfire?

Chapter Thirty-Six - [The Profound Curse]

"Gwyndolin's phantom? No wonder that bastard Hax asked about Gwyndolin."

A few days later, Lu Ming, carrying a bow and a quiver full of moonlight arrows, walked with Sham Hatu and several Hatu family mages and warriors in the Helen Forest outside Paris City.

Because of the Moonlight Arrow, Gwyndolin's phantom appeared on Lu Ming's body time and again, which was then communicated to Lu Ming by the visible Sham. As for the concerns that Dex and the others had, Sham was completely unconcerned.

Because of something concerning Gwyndolin, she had overheard Lu Ming muttering to himself about 'Gwyndolin being eaten by Eldridge' when Kanina first arrived at the house.

"Sham, if we encounter any monsters we can't handle, we'll retreat. Don't be foolish and take risks here."

"I see."

The main purpose of Lu Ming and his group coming to Helen Forest was to find the source of the darkness that had polluted the earth-digging pigs.

From Sham, Lu Ming already knew that the wandering spirits in Paris City were summoned from another world by Amani, the tax collector with whom Lu Ming had a past grudge. Furthermore, Yusaha, her mother, Countess Luyanari, and Sham's father, the former Viscount Hatu, were all involved. Therefore, Lu Ming had no idea which side was right and which was on his side.

However, compared to Yusahar, Sham was more trustworthy in Lu Ming's heart. At least, she wasn't the kind of person who would keep him in the dark.

Not long after Lu Ming and his group ventured deeper into the forest, they encountered a pile of bones. A pile of bones of recently deceased humans.

Unable to accept the gruesome and terrifying scene, Lu Ming did not approach to investigate, while Sham merely sent his men to check.

"Those corpses belonged to Viscount Saldalho Hedist's knights. They were all killed by a wild beast! We also found some bloodstains and footprints nearby, so there must be other survivors in the vicinity!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Sham glanced at Lu Ming beside him. Seeing Lu Ming nod, he immediately ordered his subordinate, "Let's go find them!"

"Yes!" With Sham's command, his men immediately rushed towards the direction of the footprints on the ground. Lu Ming, carrying a bow and a magic staff, followed closely behind Sham.

After passing through the dense forest and stepping over several fallen trees for unknown reasons, Lu Ming and his group quickly approached the owner of the footprints.

As they ran, Lu Ming suddenly stopped, causing the others to stop as well.

He looked up at the few severed limbs hidden in the treetops, and, suppressing his stomach discomfort, looked towards a place in the distance where there was hardly any sunlight.

"Let's go!" Lu Ming drew a Moonlight Arrow from his quiver, nocked it on his bowstring, and slowly walked toward a dense thicket of trees, drawing back the bowstring as he did so.

Suddenly, the bushes began to shake, prompting Sham and her men to draw their weapons and prepare for battle.

one two Three!

After three breaths, Lu Ming fired the Moonlight Arrow, sending the golden arrow hurtling out with a burst of energy.

At the same time, a figure rushed out of the bushes opposite! It was none other than Viscount Saldallo himself!

Just as he ran out of the bushes, he saw a powerful arrow shooting towards him. He was terrified and quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the golden arrow.

Even while dodging, he could clearly see the patterns on the arrows!

However, he dodged it, but the person behind him...

"Hiss~!" A terrifying scream erupted as the thing was struck by the arrow and repelled by the Moonlight Arrow, startling everyone, including Sham and Lu Ming himself.

"Shields up! White mage, prepare to break the spell! Archers, nock your arrows and draw your bows!" After mounting the second Moonlight Arrow on the bowstring, Lu Ming immediately gave the order to Sham's men.

After saying that, he didn't care whether they would listen to him or not, and shot out a second moonlight arrow towards the bushes.

This time, however, no screams were heard.

"What are you waiting for? Come here!" As he finished nocking the third Moonlight Arrow, Lu Ming cautiously looked around for any possible locations where the thing might appear, and shouted to the terrified Viscount Saldallo.

Upon being called out by Lu Ming, Viscount Saldallo immediately reacted, hurriedly scrambling to his feet and running towards Lu Ming and the others.

"Roar~!" As Viscount Saldallo ran, a huge spider-like monster suddenly leaped out of the bushes and pounced on Saldallo.

Looking at the monster that seemed to be a hybrid of werewolf and spider, with three pairs of human hands and feet and a half-human, half-spider face, Lu Ming shouted, "Eldridge's lackey!" and then fired the Moonlight Arrow in his hand again!

With the added power of Gwyndolin's phantom, the golden arrow whistled through the air and shot towards the terrifying creature, instantly severing a limb that was neither hand nor foot, from which a clump of black sludge gushed forth and flowed onto the ground!

"Hiss~!!" Another scream rang out, shocking everyone's hearts.

The monster was hit by two arrows from Lu Ming, but because both arrows almost hit the limbs and not the body, the damage from these two arrows was pitifully low.

The heart-wrenching screams quickly subsided.

A pair of eyes glowing with golden light glared fiercely at Lu Ming, and the fang-like things on both sides of its mouth trembled with each movement, gathering streams of dark energy within its mouth!

In response, Lu Ming gathered the limited sunlight in the forest and transformed it into a silver-white cannonball.

"A wave of evil!"

"Raster cannon!"

Light and darkness collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave. The extreme contrast of black and white blinded everyone. Only through their fingers could they glimpse the alternation of light and shadow.

At that moment, both the monster and Lu Ming closed their eyes and charged at each other.

"Franzan's Swift Sword!"

"Test the knife!"

The blue soul sword and the purple shadow sword flashed by in the light and shadow.

Finally, as the light and shadow faded and Sham and the others regained their vision, they saw a deep, bone-revealing wound on Lu Ming's arm! The monster stood dozens of meters away, glaring fiercely at Lu Ming. Its body bore a gruesome gash from Lu Ming's Farron Swiftsword!

“You are powerful. But not enough! Soon you will scream and wail like those knights!” The beast said, its fangs trembling, its voice filled with barely suppressed fear. “And I will bathe in your blood amidst your cries!”

"Beast, I will surely punish your master!" He drank from a bottle of elemental vial, drew three golden arrows from his quiver, added frost with fine snow, nocked the arrows, drew his bow, and aimed directly at the beast.

"My master is the Lord of Cinder! And you are nothing but a mortal!" Enraged by Lu Ming's disrespect towards his master, the beast slammed its four unbroken limbs—whether hands or feet—onto the ground and charged madly at Lu Ming.

However, halfway there, they were forcibly stopped by Sham's men using large shields, and were forced to halt their advance, tearing the two men to shreds in a few moves.

"Try this! Dark Curse One! Frost Moon Arrows!" Enraged by Yusahar's manipulation and his mutual exploitation with Sham, Lu Ming fired the three moonlight arrows imbued with frost and fine snow.

Although it was daytime and early summer, Sham and his companions, as well as Saldal and the Deep Curse, all felt an extreme chill because of those three sharp arrows!

Three moonlight arrows imbued with chilling energy, like the gaze of a nightmare-controlling god, stirred boundless terror in everyone's hearts. If the voice of the Deep Cursed One could instill fear, then these moonlight arrows at this moment could scare cowards to death!

Fear gnawed at the limbs of the Dark Curse-Beater like a venomous snake, preventing it from escaping or retaliating. It simply stood there dumbfounded, its body pierced by the golden arrow.

Three moonlight arrows shot into the Deep Curse's eyes and gaping maw, piercing its body.

But at this moment, Lu Ming was not happy. Instead, he grabbed Sham's hand and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Viscount Saldallo was the first to react, quickly following closely behind Lu Ming and Sham, trying to stay as far away as possible from the beast that had already been pierced.

Sham's henchmen, however, stared blankly and somewhat strangely at Lu Ming and his group. Ultimately, they were killed by the dying Dark Curse's final blow, a deathly mist spewing from its pierced mouth!

When he reached a place where the cursed mist couldn't reach him, Lu Ming stopped. Looking at the people who had been cursed to death within the mist and turned into stone mummies, his gaze was filled with helplessness. It wasn't that Lu Ming didn't want to save them, but it was too late.

"What was that thing?" Viscount Saldallo, now safe, caught his breath and asked Lu Ming about the terrifying beast he had seen.

"The Deep One, from the Cathedral of the Deep. He is a lackey of Eldridge, who devours gods!"

"Devouring gods? Its master ate a god!?"

Lu Ming glanced at Viscount Saldallo, who, like everyone else, was taken aback upon hearing the title, and sighed helplessly, "It's just a saying! Is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

After saying that, Lu Ming ignored what Viscount Saldallo might say next and walked straight toward the dissipating Cursed Clouds.

Waiting for the last wisps of mist to be blown away by a gentle breeze, Lu Ming strode toward the completely dead Dark Curse, plunged his hand into the Dark Curse's body covered in black mud, and forcibly pulled out the two skill books that were locked in chains.

“I think you won’t mind, right, Sham?” After glancing at the black chain pattern on the skill book cover, Lu Ming tossed one of the books to Sham.

Then, he suddenly broke the chains binding the skill book, turning it into dark, rotten mud that splattered onto his throat and hands. Enduring the excruciating pain of being corrupted, he learned the Dark-type skill, [Dark Pulse].

Chapter Thirty-Seven - The Parting After the Deep Seclusion

"Evil Wave: Strikes the opponent with a powerful wave of malice."

The spell from the World Serpent Kassadin was originally the primary attack method of the Dementors, but after the fall of Londo, it was increasingly learned by the Undead. However, what's most perplexing is that Aldrich, the Lord of Cinder, was the one who amplified this spell. Perhaps the dark flames are what Aldrich truly desires. Because certain terrifying stories have been added to it, those struck by it will be enveloped in fear.

Upgrade requires 10 uses.

Sitting on his bed in his room, Lu Ming, who had killed a Dark Curse Beast with neither easy nor difficult results, but was forced back by the roars of more Dark Curse Beasts in the forest, checked his skill bar.

Learning the Evil Pulse unlocks two more skills on the vast skill tree: Ambush, a guaranteed hit skill requiring 2 skill points, and Pursuit, which only requires 1 skill point!

Because of the completion of the main quest "The Curse of the Deep," which clearly involves fighting the Cursed One of the Deep, Lu Ming obtained 2 Dark Skill Points and a Weapon Lottery Ticket.

After a brief moment's thought, Lu Ming upgraded his Ambush skill, which was guaranteed to hit, to level 2. He ignored the obviously useless Pursuit skill. As for the level 2 Dark Pulse, since he already had a similarly powerful level 2 Light Cannon, why would he need another level 2 Dark Pulse?

After Lu Ming learned the Ambush skill, only one skill became available on his skill tree: the powerful control skill Black Hole, which required 10 skill points! However, the requirement of 10 skill points was simply beyond Lu Ming's current means. So, like Pursuit, it was a no-go.

"Ambush: To maliciously manipulate an opponent, resulting in an inevitable hit."

Like the conspiracy, it's a spell from Manus, the Lord of the Abyss. Because it's too evil, most countries forbid its study. Only in Londor do the undead retain the ability to use this spell.
