Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 517 Cursed Undead Creatures

As night fell, Xingluo once again set foot on the road to the underground maze. This time he had a guide, and he was not completely confused like before. On the street leading to the maze, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the ground, and it looked a little gloomy. The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of the wind was swallowed up. Such silence made Xingluo's heartbeat seem particularly clear.

Just as he walked into a dense forest, suddenly, a piercing low hum came from the darkness. Xingluo's heart tightened, and he stopped and looked around. He knew that there were many dangers lurking in this forest, but he also knew that he could not be defeated by fear. He held his breath and carefully approached the source of the sound.

A shadow flashed between the trees. It was a giant gray wolf-like creature, exuding a cold aura, with fierce and hungry light in its eyes. Xingluo understood that this wolf was not an ordinary beast. It should be the undead creature that Elias had mentioned, which was mutated by the curse of the Lord of Black Flame. At this moment, it was staring at him, as if it was planning how to tear him into pieces.

Xingluo quickly drew out the dark sword, ready for the fight. The giant wolf growled, bent its limbs slightly, and prepared to pounce on Xingluo. Xingluo took the initiative, swinging his sword, the blade glowing with darkness, piercing the giant wolf's heart. However, the giant wolf dodged flexibly, and Xingluo's attack only scratched its fur, leaving a shallow wound.

The giant wolf fought back, quickly pounced on Xingluo, and grabbed his chest with its sharp claws. Xingluo dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, and then he chanted a spell, and the dark energy condensed into a ball of black flame in his hand. He threw the flame at the giant wolf, and the flame instantly surrounded its body, burning its fur and muscles.

However, surprisingly, the giant wolf showed no signs of pain. Instead, it slowly stood up from the flames, its fur gradually regenerated, and the fierce light in its eyes became more blazing. Xingluo was a little shocked and puzzled that this cursed creature had no reaction to the dark flames.

He continued to try other methods, swinging his sword to cut the giant wolf's limbs, using spells to try to burn it, and even casting a great magician-level dark magic to try to dispel the curse with pure dark energy. But no matter how Xingluo attacked, the giant wolf always recovered quickly, as if it had infinite vitality supporting it.

The battle became more intense, and Xingluo gradually felt exhausted. He understood that he had to find a more effective way to deal with this cursed creature. He suddenly remembered that Elias had mentioned that these cursed creatures were immortal, and their only weakness was their souls.

Xingluo quickly adjusted his strategy and began to concentrate on finding the giant wolf's soul. He closed his eyes, feeling the energy fluctuations around him, trying to catch a glimpse of the soul's breath. The giant wolf didn't give him much time to think, it pounced on him again, opened its bloody mouth, and tried to bite off Xingluo's throat.

At the critical moment, Xingluo opened his eyes, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He suddenly raised the dark sword and pointed it directly at the giant wolf's eyes. The blade pierced through the giant wolf's eye sockets and penetrated into its brain. The dark energy instantly poured into its soul core.

The giant wolf screamed miserably, and its body began to tremble violently. Xingluo felt a strong resistance, but he gritted his teeth, concentrated all his energy, and controlled the dark energy to hit the giant wolf's soul. In the end, the giant wolf's soul was completely defeated, and its body collapsed, turning into a ball of ash and dissipating in the air.

Xingluo stood there panting, his forehead covered with sweat, but he knew he had finally succeeded. He wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, and a glimmer of victory flashed in his eyes. He understood that this battle not only made him understand the weaknesses of the cursed creatures, but also gave him confidence in the upcoming challenges. With such a harvest, Xingluo continued to move forward.

After finding a way to deal with this creature, Xingluo tried other ways of attack. However, this cursed undead creature was far superior to ordinary undead creatures and cursed creatures, and its recovery ability was too strong. He remembered what happened before, and it would be okay to give it a try anyway, so Xingluo did it as he thought of it.

"Dark Fireball." Xingluo muttered in his heart. He recalled the magic that Elias taught him. A dark fireball arranged with a special magic array quickly condensed between his palms. He concentrated his energy and hit the target with all the magic power of a great magician. Anyway, for him, the speed of magic recovery was far beyond that of magicians of the same level. The only problem was that the total amount of magic was insufficient and he could not use more powerful magic. However, in a battle of the same level, he could cast several top magics of this realm. Even if he was given time, he could cast it for a whole day. After all, he used the mental power of a great magician to control the magic power of a great magician.

At the moment when the gray wolf jumped towards him, he threw the black flame ball without hesitation. "Go!" With his low shout, the ball of fire drew a graceful and fierce arc in the air, rushing towards the wolf like a meteor.

"Woo--" The gray wolf howled in anger and pain. When the flames engulfed it, it turned back and tried to escape, but it was too late. In the face of the powerful magic force, the cursed undead creature was powerless to struggle and could only turn into a cloud of black smoke and dissipate in the night sky.

Although he successfully defeated the evil wolf, Xingluo did not feel relieved. He knew that this was just the beginning. A greater danger was waiting for him ahead. He continued to move forward into the maze, but the uneasiness in his heart followed him like a shadow.

This kind of specific undead creature created by the Lord of Black Flame cannot be dealt with by simple magic. Fortunately, he helped Elias find the scroll before, otherwise the other party would not have told him how to deal with this kind of undead creature. Of course, his method of directly destroying the opponent's soul can also solve it, but it is obviously not easy, because the opponent will not stand still. He has to use his body skills to fight with the opponent and make it reveal its flaws, or simply use light magic. He thinks that divine arts should also be useful, but using it in the abyss is no different from seeking death. At that time, he will not only attract the attention of the Lord of this layer of the abyss, but it is possible that the Lord of the abyss in other layers will also rush here. After all, the Church of Light and the abyss are a battle of faith, and it is a situation of life and death. Xingluo quickly dismissed the idea just by thinking about it, because it was too terrifying. Facing the strongest combat power of the alien continent was not what he wanted. Just dealing with the Church of Light, he was almost turned into an ordinary person.

After hacking away at the cursed undead creatures along the way, he finally made it through the forest.
