My Cell Prison

Chapter 558: 558
 

[Terminal Knight Regiment]

Death God, Alex, scrutinized the situation in Mirror Lake.

The Undead – Iguava, was directly related to his knight regiment.

However, this relationship was different from the Hell’s child – Sean, who had been training in the Hell Knight Corps from the beginning.

Iguava was a man that Alex had accidentally ‘picked up’ when he returned to Holy City, in the dungeon area.

After thirty years he had returned to the city.

Of course, various miscellaneous matters were unavoidable.

After submitting a detailed report on his physical condition to the council, Alex returned to the underground area alone.

Because he had been away for so long.

Alex deliberately chose a detour, took a few more streets to understand the changes in the underground area for decades, and personally detected whether there was a situation of ‘corruption’ in the underground area.

When passing an alley.

The scent of ‘fallen death qi’ immediately attracted Alex’s attention.

Out of curiosity, Alex set foot in this dilapidated building.

Inside, he found a youth in the process of [Self-Purification]… His body had been refined to the point where there was hardly anything left, with many parts of his bones exposed.

Dead Spirit Purification.

The Dead Spirit Association established in the underground area has strict rules, forbidding self-purification for any reason.

The root of the prohibition lies in ‘humanity’.

If a necromancer self-purifies, not only will they lose their human form, but their most basic humanity will gradually dissipate during this process, eventually turning into a necromantic monster no different from those outside the city.

But… the youth Alex encountered was a bit special.

The dilapidated and foul-smelling hall was littered with gnawed mouse bones, along with the tattered clothes on the youth’s body, and the mouse hair at the corner of his mouth, indicating that the youth was so poor that he could only eat mice…

Upon encountering such a self-purifier, one should ideally kill them right away.

However, Alex suddenly became interested, not out of pity, but simply wanted to know why the youth chose to self-purify…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alex didn’t sense any resentment or hostility, this youth who had fallen to the bottom of society seemed not to have fallen due to the process of self-purification.

“Why did you choose to purify yourself?”

With Alex’s inquiry.

A weak and hoarse voice came from the youth’s mouth:

“I…I don’t have the money to sign up to join the Dead Spirit Association.

I also don’t have the money to buy corpses for Dead Spirit Purification.

But I really want to learn Dead Spirit Spells, maybe it can give me a body that will never get tired, let me work and save enough tuition.”

Alex’s face remained unchanged, he continued to ask:

“With your ability, you could easily kill the vagrants on the street… Isn’t it easier to use their corpses?”

“The Dead Spirit purifies the corpse, not the living… When my mother was alive, she always taught me that if a necromancer wants to purify someone else’s corpse, they must also get their permission.”

Looking at this young man whose flesh had been severely damaged, and whose body and soul had been deeply refined but his humanity had not changed at all.

His spirit was even more resilient than that of a knight.

“Meeting me is your fate… I’ll give you one chance. If you can survive, come and work for me.”

Alex reached out and touched the youth’s forehead.

It wasn’t redemption.

But to give him a real chance to die, a chance to step into the realm of death.

This youth is Iguava, the Undead standing on the final stage of the competition.

“Meeting an opponent who can see through your peculiarity at a glance for the first time. Iguava, what can you do?”

Death God was looking forward to this game.

…

The mirror Clear Lake was contaminated by strands of black death qi.

Splash~ Water splashing around.

Every five meters, a corpse arm drills out from the lake’s surface.

In no time.

There are five corpse arms reaching towards Dumps from different directions.

Every arm carries the aura of ‘death’ … touching will result in deep damage.

The lake is full of corpse arms, there is no point in trying to dodge.

For such a situation, Dumps had already thought of a countermeasure.

“Thunder, come …”

Dumps’ previous meditation was not just for show.

Instead, during the meditation process, he silently completed the incantation of a high-ranking spell that requires an exceptionally long time to chant.

For a time, thunderclouds rolled in.

“High-ranking Thunder and Lightning Secret Method?”

Many knights of the Witch God Knight Legion looked shocked.

Thunder and Lightning Method is a kind of rare magic. Due to its huge destructive power, if one is not careful, it might blow up the magic circuit during training, and thus forever depart from the magic path.

Therefore, very few mages would specialize in this path … even if there were one, it would require a long time of learning, combined with a stable magic circuit, only then the mage would be allowed to cast the High-level Thunder and Lightning Secret Method.

Boom!

The thunderlight descends.

The five corpse arms reaching for Dumps were instantly annihilated.

At the same time, a spear made purely of thunder element began to form slowly in Dumps’ hand.

“How did he manage to stabilize such a violent thunder element and use it as his weapon?”

Even some mage knights cannot quite understand this phenomenon.

Most Close Combat Mages add elements to their existing weapons, rather than building weapons directly from the elements… it’s unstable and too dangerous, they can hurt themselves if they are not careful.

Captain Jerroth simply explained:

“By establishing ‘rigid’ magic circuits, one can stabilize elements that move irregularly… this student is a once-in-a-century genius.”

Yes, Dumps, under the enhancement of Nether Essence, derived the magical circuits, and built a rigid circuit in the shape of a long spear.

Then he invoked the descent of lightning to form this “Thunder Spear” that specifically restrains sinister objects.

The Thunder Spear was completed.

Dumps instantly entered the ‘Killing’ state.

Whether it’s his expression, aura, or actions, all have changed … he’s become a complete Demon.

The Wind Element was helping him move, coupled with the high mobility of the Demon form.

A white light shadow flashed across the surface of Mirror Lake.

Everywhere it passed, all the corpse arms were incinerated.

One spear goes through.

Larger ripples spread out under the Undead, Iguava.

The cloak covering his body was thrown away, revealing a young figure with multiple bones exposed.

His abdomen was completely pierced and scorched, causing serious injury.

Within the ten-minute time limit, Dumps caused injury to this person, so he won’t be eliminated by the rules.

Just when it was thought that the competition would end.

Observer Alonso announced: “Both parties have caused damage to each other, time limit lifted… the competition continues.”

The eyes of Dumps were full of astonishment, the magic shield used to protect his body shatters, and a gloomy claw mark appears on his waist.

“So fast… is it the result of self-purification?”

At this moment.

A ‘Rage Zombie’ was already within arm’s reach behind Dumps…
