Chapter 1204: Undead
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and almost immediately there was a scream.
A girl of about 20 years old, who had been in the room all this time, screamed at the top of her voice.
The intruder's body on the chandelier tensed. This guest was about 1.4 meters tall, and there were gray-white bandages wrapped around his arms. In each hand, he held a long dagger, and the blades of these daggers glimmered with a cold light.
He clearly didn't want to attract too much attention. After all, he was in the capital of the Saint Sodin Kingdom.
— Hush, " Su Xiao said and put his index finger to his mouth, but the girl screamed even louder in response.
Su Xiao pulled out a piece of the floor with a light movement and threw it directly at this girl with a barely perceptible sound.
Part of the floor, breaking through the layers of air waves, reached its goal without any problems.
*Bang!*
Parts of the skull and brain shattered against the wall, and the girl's corpse fell to the floor with a thud.
After that, Su Xiao shifted his gaze to the guest on the chandelier, who was now stunned.
— Isn't she... an ordinary person? The undead asked. Her voice became more feminine, for now she spoke the language of the realm.
— I gave her a chance, so... Now it's your turn, " The dragon flash in Su Xiao's hand flashed, and his aura became sharper.
The undead clenched its hands tightly and a dazzling green energy enveloped its two long daggers.
Large cracks appeared on the floor under Su Xiao's feet. This was the first time he would have to fight an undead, and judging from the current situation, his opponent was a special person among the undead, most likely he was equal to the holy warriors of humanity.
The Apostle's Eye appeared above Su Xiao's head.

Skill 7: ???
When Su Xiao saw the description of 'undead energy', he had a vague feeling of something familiar. This ability was somewhat similar to Qing Gang Yin's energy, except that the nature of the two energies were different.
The Qing Gang Yin energy absorbed the energy in the enemy's body and dealt true damage, while the undead energy created a repulsive reaction with the energy in the target's body and thus dealt true damage to his body.
But because these skills were similar, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He thought about it... could this energy have been created by being inspired by Qing Gang Yin's energy?
But this energy wasn't a copy of Qing Gang Yin, but rather a new ability that was developed based on Qing Gang Yin's energy.
After realizing this, Su Xiao decided to find the traces of the Law Shadows as quickly as possible. At the very least, he already knew that the Shadows of Law came to this world after the undead appeared in it.
Su Xiao felt strange when fighting the "Holy Warrior" earlier. Why did Joseph release all of his energy outside of his body? Anyone could tell that this was a rare and very impractical way of fighting.
However, it was this impractical method that restrained Qing Gang Yin's energy the best. In fact, the Holy Warriors most likely weren't fighting against the Shadows of Law, but rather against the awakened undead with their special energy.
— It seems that you are even more valuable than I originally thought, " Su Xiao said as he looked at Elduo. That undead creature was still squatting on the chandelier. It was probably her, not him. The undead had the same gender division as humans, and their method of reproduction was the same, otherwise, hybrids wouldn't be able to appear in this world.
Su Xiao originally planned to capture this undead creature alive and learn from it who was behind the little princess ' murder, but after discovering the undead energy, he wanted to capture it alive for other purposes as well.
According to his guess, the undead energy was not a complete imitation of Qing Gang Yin's energy, but a secondary product that was created as a result of inspiration.
As they say, in someone else's eye you will see a straw, but in your own you will not notice a log. If he carefully studied the undead energy, it could serve as an inspiration for improving Qing Gang Yin's energy.
This idea sounded very tempting, but capturing Elduo alive would not be so easy. Judging from her size, weapons, and stats, she was most likely a very agile fighter. She was weaker than Su Xiao in terms of strength and stamina, but she didn't have the obvious weaknesses of Joseph Ke, who would die immediately after any experienced melee fighter approached him.
The air in the room seemed to turn icy. Su Xiao and Elduo didn't move. Su Xiao was waiting for his opponent to show his weakness, while Elduo didn't dare to act rashly.
Elduo originally thought that Iron Hand was just a high-ranking official of the Holy Sodin Kingdom, and although the information gathered about him said that he was strong, Iron Hand was not a holy warrior, hence, any undead would not perceive such a person as a worthy opponent.
But after seeing it, her sharp intuition let her know that something was wrong, and her intuition even started telling her that she should have retreated as quickly as possible.
The two sides began a silent confrontation, and like this, one minute, two, five passed...
— Have you heard of Rowan Harvey? Su Xiao broke the silence first. He decided to change his usual fighting style. Normally, he didn't say much, but this time, he needed to capture the opponent alive.
Capturing the enemy was often a much more difficult task than simply eliminating them. Since Elduo was an undead, and not an ordinary one at that, she was well aware and kept in mind that being captured by humans was a hundred times more terrifying than dying in battle.
Hearing Su Xiao's question, Elduo frowned. She knew, of course, who Rowan Harvey was, for he had left the capital under her protection.
— This old man ran away too quickly, but I had a good personal relationship with him, and we often exchanged secret letters. If you're his subordinate, I can let you go today as a favor.
Naturally, Su Xiao was talking complete nonsense. He and Rowan Harvey were just using each other.
— … — Elduo remained silent.
— Okay, forget it, I'll just pay back the debt to this old man. Lovi, pass this thing to him, from now on, we don't owe each other anything anymore, " As he spoke, Su Xiao took out a box from his inventory, opened it, and took out a strange fist-sized item from it, tossing it to Elduo.
Elduo stared at the flying object. It didn't give off a single drop of danger, but she couldn't rule out the possibility that there was a deadly poison hidden in it, so she didn't even think about catching it, on the contrary, she decided to stay away from it.
What Elduo didn't know was that Su Xiao didn't expect her to catch him at all. Her brief glance at the object would have been enough for him. As for whether she would have caught the item… She would only decide to catch him if she was mentally retarded.
Elduo was extremely careful, but unfortunately, the object that was currently flying towards her was a flash-bang grenade with a magnetic core.
Such grenades did not carry a drop of danger, because they radiated only a bright light when activated..
