Chapter 50
When Negri said 'humans', it was as if he was talking about a piece of bread, causing the people of the Kingdom of Royas to feel a chill down their spines.
"Do it!" Smick shouted, then his body twisted and disappeared from sight. The others all drew their swords and charged towards Negary at the same time.
On the belts of these Royas soldiers, there was a row of thumb-sized vials that contained various colored liquids.
These Royas soldiers skillfully drew out one of the vials that was filled with a fiery red liquid, threw it into the air, and accurately sliced it with their swords.
The fiery red liquid inside the vial leaked out and smeared on the swords, causing a layer of eerie crimson flame to appear on the surface of the sword. The flame also contained a strange ominous power.
"This power." Negri squinted his eyes as he observed the layer of crimson flame. According to the information he gathered, in the past years, there were only two main supernatural powers in the Kingdom of Royas.
One was the [Respiratory Art] that the nobles mastered. The other was the so-called national treasure, the Ancestral Spirit Armor. According to historical records, there were only a dozen of them in the entire Kingdom of Royas. The armor was only a normal armor, the key lay in the Ancestral Spirit.
The so-called Ancestral Spirit were heroes in the history of the Kingdom of Royas. When they realized that they were about to grow old, they would perform a ritual, using death as the price to turn themselves into something called the Ancestral Spirit.
After that, the blacksmiths of the Kingdom of Royas would attach the Ancestral Spirit to the armor. After that, as long as someone was recognized by the Ancestral Spirit, they would be able to wear the armor and receive the buffs from the Ancestral Spirit.
Every warrior who wore the Ancestral Spirit Armor was a warrior that could fight against a hundred enemies alone on the battlefield.
After knowing about the existence of the Ancestral Spirit, Negri was very interested in it. As far as he knew, after a human died, the True Spirit that represented the origin of the human body would leave this world, leaving behind only the soul that was derived from the True Spirit.
These remnant souls would directly collapse and turn into Soul Essence that carried their emotions and memories before death. But if the corpse was intact and the soul was strong enough, it would turn into a remnant soul.
These remnant souls had no intelligence at all. They were muddle-headed and lingered around the corpses. They relied on absorbing life force to maintain their soul bodies. When the corpses ran out of life force and couldn't be replenished with life force, their soul bodies would be completely exposed, and they would collapse and turn into soul qi.
In the past life, Negri once heard a joke. Some people said that he wasn't afraid of ghosts because if a ghost killed him, he would also become a ghost. Wasn of that embarrassing?
Aside from that, Negri had never seen the remnant soul of a living being turn into another form after death. He had also tried to intercept the True Spirit of a living being after death, but unfortunately, he had no control over the fate of the True Spirit.
The Ancestral Spirit Ritual of the Kingdom of Royas could possibly use the True Spirit, which made Negri want to see it for himself.
But the Royas warriors in front of him were using a completely new power. From the information that Negri had gathered, it was mentioned that after Eldridge unified the forces of the kingdom, he had gathered all sorts of skilled craftsmen, even wizards, in an attempt to create something.
"So this is what Eldridge created?"
Negri crooked his finger and a finger bone floated in the air. With a flick of his finger, the finger bone turned into a white ray of light and struck one of the knight's swords. The finger bone knocked the sword to the side, then rebounded and struck the center of the man's head.
The warrior's body fell powerlessly into the pile of bones. There was no blood flowing out of the wound on his forehead. Instead, it was burning with a blood-red demonic flame. The flame continued to expand until the entire corpse turned into a torch. The flame continued to jump on the body as if it wanted to transform into something. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, it could not succeed.
The flaming knight's sword fell into the pile of bones, but the strange thing was that the bones didn't change at all. The flame only flickered for a while before it stopped.
The other warriors didn't stop because of the death of their comrade. They had already raised their flaming knight swords next to Negri and swung their swords at Negri from different angles.
"They really don't know the meaning of death" Negri sat on his throne of bones and didn't make any big movements. With a wave of his hand, the bones on the ground flew up and turned into a storm of bones, forcing the warriors to dodge.
One of the vertebrae passed through the shoulder of a Royas warrior. As if the vertebrae had come to life, it coiled around the neck of the Royas warrior and tightened its grip.
The warrior's face was bright red, he held his sword with one hand and tried to pull the vertebrae with the other, but it was useless.
Negri continued to control the bones to shoot, forcing the other warriors to retreat. With a flick of his finger, the strangled warrior was dragged in front of Negri.
Several vertebrae flew up and coiled around the man's hands and feet, making him unable to move no matter how much he struggled.
"It looks like flames, but it's not?" Negri thought. With a wave of his hand, he used the vertebrae to control the sword-wielding hand of the warrior and pointed the sword at himself.
As the crimson flames on the sword approached the warrior, he could already see something wriggling under his skin. When the flames reached him, the thing under his skin completely went berserk.
They were blood vessels, burning with crimson flames, piercing through the skin of the warrior, but what came out wasn't blood, but flames.
"Flames that only burn blood? It seems that as long as I'm indirectly burned by this flame, it will ignite this flame "Negri thought and controlled the warrior to stab himself with the sword.
Another torch rose up. Negri was a bit more interested in this kind of crimson flame. From the performance of these warriors, it seems like the technology for this kind of power within the Kingdom of Royas has already matured quite a bit.
"Eldridge, this is going to be a very delicious fruit" Negri thought, then suddenly raised his hand. A curved sword appeared out of thin air and was stopped in mid-air.
"Do you think I can't find you? Human? "With a flick of his finger, Smick's body was forced to reveal itself and was sent flying.
