This time, I won't be the devil.

Chapter 90 A gift from heaven

"As long as we stab the Thunderfire Sword into the sandworm's body, we can kill it." This was Frey's explanation to the adventurers, and it was also the basis for their collective charge.

In fact, with Light's meager magic power, he was unable to use the Thunderfire Sword at all, but the adventurers did not know this, and the sandworms did not know it either.

The reason why Frey specifically demonstrated the power of the Thunderfire Sword in front of the sandworm was to make it fear this weapon.

With this operation, Frey successfully deceived the sandworm and achieved this feint to the east and attack in the west.

When all the sandworms' attention was focused on the charging adventurers and Wright holding the Thunderfire Sword, Frey first created a statue of himself with sand on the spot, then used the rope ladder thrown down to quickly climb up to the production base, and mobilized magic power to activate the rock sword prepared in advance.

The rock sword is more than twenty meters long. It was created by Frey using earth magic after hollowing out the rock layer on the other side of the production base. It is essentially an oversized rock cannonball.

After the rock sword was made, its end was hung above the rock layer and covered with a thin layer of rock underneath, which was equivalent to being hidden in the ceiling above the quicksand area.

By manipulating the quicksand just now, Frey successfully put the sandworm within the hitting range of the rock sword. As a local, he is best at this kind of tactic of utilizing terrain.

As Light rushed to the sandworm with his last breath, Frey activated his magic.

By the time the sandworm realized something was wrong, the ceiling above it had collapsed.

Like Ikaros, Frey transformed into a fallen object along with the rock sword and attacked it.

The sandworm tried to escape, but the remaining control effects in the quicksand prevented it from moving immediately.

After fine-tuning the direction, Frey further mobilized his magic power, and the speed of the rock sword's descent suddenly increased.

Wrapped in the dust and loud noise of falling rocks and earth, the twenty-meter-long sword made a sharp vibration under the pull of magic, like a punishment from the gods.

Magic power and gravity together injected enormous kinetic energy into the rock sword. Facing this attack, even if the sandworm had a hard exoskeleton, it would be impossible to resist it.

Sure enough, accompanied by cracking and breaking sounds, the rock sword pierced into the sandworm's torso.

But because the sandworm twisted its muscles at the last moment and dropped its lower body into a windmill shape, he avoided being pierced through.

The rock sword finally pierced its abdomen and embedded it into the ground.

Although it suffered heavy damage, it was not fatal to the sandworm. With the departure of Frey, the spellcaster, the quicksand on the ground gradually lost its binding effect, and it would not take long for the sandworm to break free.

But Frey had never intended to rely on the rock sword to win in one blow. As long as he could block the sandworm's movements, his goal would be achieved.

Frey did not lie to the adventurers. What was actually used to kill the sandworm was the Thunderfire Sword that followed Wright's charge and was sent in front of the sandworm.

After the rock sword fell, Frey rushed to the ground with an air wave, but he did not directly pull out the Thunder and Fire Sword that Wright had inserted into the quicksand. Instead, he unfastened the buckle of the magic shell and took out the [Rage] wrapped in it.

Although this weapon has existed as a Thunder and Fire Sword since the Magic Shell was created, this rusty copper sword is its original form.

Immediately afterwards, Frey took out two glass bottles from the space ring.

One of the bottles contained corrosive resin, a byproduct extracted from the magic stone of the rotten giant, which was used in the battle against the Skeleton King.

Not all the rosin was used up when the Skeleton King was killed, and now there is still half a bottle left.

Frey slid to the side of the sandworm and poured the resin in the glass bottle onto the sandworm's exoskeleton.

As early as when he first encountered the sandworm and chased it, Frey discovered through [Backstab] that this was its real weakness.

By studying the records left by humans in their fight against sandworms so far, Frey discovered that although the elite monster, the wind-eroded sandworm, is very powerful, as a creature without a brain, its intelligence is not high and it can only fight according to its instincts based on the surrounding environment.

But the sandworm in front of him not only possesses extremely high intelligence and knows how to formulate strategies in battle, but also knows how to destroy the spiral channel and trap the adventurers in the maze.

As an elite monster that has just been born and has not yet evolved, this is obviously abnormal.

Based on the range of the weak spot indicated by the backstab skill, Frey discovered that there was a humanoid unit in the sandworm's abdomen, near the tail.

Based on the above information, Frey made a speculation that there was a humanoid creature hiding inside the sandworm and controlling the monster.

This sounds a bit far-fetched, but with the examples of Petrarch and the Skeleton King, it is not impossible for something to appear that can enter the monster's body and act as a driver.

If this is true, then the sandworm's extraordinary intelligence and its ability to command monsters out of thin air can be explained.

The corrosive resin quickly melted the sandworm's exoskeleton, revealing the outer skin of its abdomen.

The sandworm realized that the situation was not good and began to struggle to break free, but Frey would not give him this chance.

He dripped the blood from another glass bottle in his hand onto the bronze sword.

This is Noelle's blood. As the key to activate her rage, Frey has drawn several bottles from her body in the past few months. After removing the magic from the blood, he stored it in a space ring that can keep it fresh forever.

After being bathed in dragon blood, the bronze sword emitted a dazzling crimson light, revealing its true appearance.

[Rage: One of the seven dragon-slaying weapons forged to slay the Dragon King. It becomes activated upon contact with dragon blood.]

[Effect: Absorbs the user's magic power and converts it into huge fire elemental damage]

After being activated by the dragon's blood, Fury absorbed Frey's magic power, and a huge pillar of fire rose from the sword.

Frey stabbed the humanoid creature hidden in the sandworm with anger. No matter what it was, he would kill it first.

Without the protection of the exoskeleton, the rage easily penetrated the flesh, countless flames burst out from the sword, and the entire sandworm's abdomen was illuminated red by the flames.

The sandworm burned by the flames was like a fish thrown into a hot pot. Its huge body, which was dozens of meters long, began to flap wildly, shaking up sand and gravel all over the sky.

But Frey had no intention of letting go. Unlike the controllable Thunder and Fire Sword, a fully activated rage would continuously convert magic power until it drained the user dry.

Therefore, its power is even more violent.

The flames quickly spread along the abdomen and spread to the entire body of the sandworm. As the burning continued, billowing black smoke carrying the stench of burnt protein quickly rose from the sandworm's body.

Chapter 91 Immortal

When the flames finally died down, the sandworm had been burned from the inside out, and its abdomen was directly carbonized.

Frey's body was also completely soaked. In addition to sweat, in order to prevent himself from being burned while using Rage, he continuously released water magic to resist the high temperature.

Although his magic power was almost exhausted, Frey suffered no external injuries.

On the other side, since Wright, who was at the forefront, took most of the damage from the wind blade, and with the protection of the Honey Shield, although the adventurers all had cuts of varying degrees, fortunately no one was killed.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone looked at the ripe wind-eroded sandworms, and the joy of victory and the relief of surviving the disaster surged in their hearts, and they cheered.

Palu and several other magicians who stayed in the base and did not participate in the charge due to their lower defense also climbed to the ground through the rope ladder to prepare to treat the wounded.

However, unlike the adventurers, Frey's expression immediately became serious.

After the fire died down, he finally saw the "thing" hidden in the sandworm's body.

It was a corpse. Under the burning flames, the corpse had been carbonized, but even so, it was still constantly repairing itself.

This is obviously beyond the scope of normal biology. There is only one possibility for this situation to occur.

This is an undead person.

To confirm, Frey immediately used [Identify] on the charred corpse.

【Name: Ah Fei】

[Race: Undead]

【Level: 46→43】

[Soul Strength: 4.8]

[Occupation: Berserker]

[Attribute panel: Strength 48.9, Endurance 33.6, Agility 37.2, Magic 22.4]

Judging from his name, occupation and level, this guy is none other than the author of "Maze Recipe", the legendary adventurer A Fei.

But according to the Federation's records, [Evil Food King] A Fei had clearly died in the battle with the Guardian of Wind 5 years ago. How could he appear here?

It's impossible that there are such low-level translation errors as "the village team member died in the fight with Jack" in the federal documents.

More importantly, his race is actually undead.

In today's Aiden continent, the undead are almost extinct.

According to the intelligence gained during the half month that Freyr was the Demon Lord, the number of undead in the entire demon clan was only in the single digits, and they had all been severely transformed into zombies.

Once the undead fall into the hands of humans, they will soon die repeatedly in endless torture and experiments, completely exhausting their humanity and turning into zombies.

But judging from the changes in the panel and the speed at which Coke is repaired, there is still plenty of humanity in Ah Fei.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Before exploring the mysteries surrounding Ah Fei, Frey must first eliminate his threat.

Unlike ordinary deaths, since Ah Fei's body has been carbonized, even if he has enough humanity, it will take at least three minutes to repair it.

As long as you kill Ah Fei repeatedly before he regains his ability to move, you can continuously consume his humanity.

As humanity fades, the strength and level of the undead's soul will decrease, and they will eventually become zombies that have lost their sanity and fighting ability.

Frey immediately raised the sword in his hand, ready to finish off the charcoal on the ground.

However, at this moment, accompanied by a rustling sound, a large amount of black particles spurted out from the carbonized sandworm's abdomen.

In a flash, the particles gathered into a pool of flowing black mud, and then the black mud turned into a black ghost.

The ghost's body is composed of nearly liquid black mud. Although it retains an overall human shape, its face is devoid of facial features.

Frey had seen such apparitions before.

In the sewers of Bondolium, after the Cult's leader, Ivan, initiates the ritual by sacrificing himself, Frey summons the Rock Lance to destroy the altar.

It was a black ghost that suddenly appeared and blocked Frey's rock spear, allowing the cultists to complete the ritual.

However, that ghost was much thinner than the one in front of him, and it quickly dissipated.

Later, Frey tried to investigate, but could not find any relevant information, so he had to regard it as a by-product of the ritual.

But now the ghost appeared before him again.

After taking shape, the ghost immediately rushed towards Frey with its claws waving.

Frey raised his sword to block, but the Ghost grabbed the blade with one hand, then slid forward and struck at his heart with his other hand.

This series of changes happened in a flash. At this time, the ghost's claws were already close at hand, and even the non-chanting magic was too late.

In order to resist the attack, Frey drew the dagger [Shadow Blade] from his waist and blocked the ghost's claws.

The dagger collided with the claws, making a loud noise.

Enduring the tremors and swelling pain in his muscles, Frey used his weapons in each hand to block the ghost's claws. Their current state was like sumo wrestling.

Even when he suddenly encountered this monster that went against common sense, Frey did not panic.
