Chapter 5, The King of Super Resentment
I never expected that you, in a human body, could harbor such a rich reservoir of resentment! What a powerful incantation this "You are a good person" is; why does the resentment within you grow exponentially every time you hear this phrase? It is truly remarkable!
This skeleton soldier... even if he has never truly seen one, he has played enough in games. Ugly and terrifying, not to mention, the most important thing is that the skeleton soldier is particularly fragile. Even an ordinary person casually using a hammer, a broom, or something like a toilet plunger seems capable of taking down a few.
You are nothing short of a coward
Mu Ni nodded, and with one finger, traced a strange inverted pentagram in the air. A magnificent magical pattern immediately enveloped He Ruozhi, radiating a grayish-white hue
This... I don't quite understand, what does this indicate?" He Ruo Zhi had a completely clueless expression.
However, under the incantation of Muni, the magical map became increasingly tighter
It seems that in the future, one must carefully observe the strength of the enemy. If one does not have a thorough understanding of both oneself and the opponent, one should never casually challenge others
I, AB, curse you! He Ruozhi roared, his body suddenly struggling fiercely, finally shattering all the magic formations that had tightly wrapped around him, turning them into fragments
Muni continued, "The unit of measurement for resentment is crystal. The resentment of an ordinary person is generally around 100 crystals. However, if one harbors more than 200 crystals of resentment and dies on a bloody battlefield, there is a possibility of transforming into a skeleton soldier. If one contains more than 500 crystals of resentment, they can transform into a lich, capable of using necromantic magic. Furthermore, possessing over 1,000 crystals of resentment allows one to take on the role of a death commander. It is worth noting that even a magic bone dragon like Gelat contains only about 3,000 crystals of resentment."
He Ruo Zhi widened his eyes
Muni, however, remained indifferent, reciting the incantation with increasing urgency
Muni chanted incantations, while the magical patterns tightened around him like ropes.
If He Ruo is full of mud in his mouth, he cannot speak
The cold, bony foot of the Mummy trampled on his face, and the skeletal commander said coldly: "Do you see? This is the power of a son of the undead"
"It hurts so much, who are you, what do you want to do!" He Ruo Zhi gritted his teeth, the intense pain seemed to seep from the skin into the depths of his body, reaching his very heart.
Muni slowly nodded, yet he could not control his emotions. He explained excitedly: "Resentment is the fundamental reason for our existence as the undead. Generally speaking, when humans or animals die, if there remains a strong sense of resentment in their brains, they can transform into undead beings, that is to say, the undead."
Then let's take a look quickly, Mr. Muni
Mr. Muni... what exactly is this grievance?
This ... ... was originally intended to express that, given the current advancements in science and his own higher education, it is indeed somewhat difficult to believe in such superstitions and irrational phenomena
The man before him was devoid of any muscle or skin, appearing entirely as a mere skeleton, yet his entire body was enveloped in a layer of pale purple soul fire, taking on a terrifying shape
He Ruo's intelligence is troubled
"Impossible, impossible!" Mu Ni murmured to himself as he quickly got up and ran over to examine He Ruozhi's entire body.
However, the thought of a "living" skeletal dragon lying beside me made me feel somewhat guilty
Unyielding ...? ... Is it fire? Could it be that I also possess such a thing within me?
The flames on Muni suddenly swelled: "Do you think I am the kind of petty soldier who bullies the weak with numbers? Then let us have a one-on-one duel to find out."
Is that so? The voice of Mu Ni contained a hint of barely perceptible anger as he slowly approached He Ruozhi, simultaneously shedding his robe
Muni said: "In life, we were all the most ordinary warriors. Our punches were not as swift as those of the martial artists, and our swordsmanship could not compete with that of the skilled swordsmen. When faced with mages, we could only flee for our lives. However, our will to fight is absolutely not weaker than that of these strong individuals!"
Even the nearby skeletal dragon, Gelat, opened its eyes once more, staring intently at He Ruozhi with an expression of disbelief
The opponent's fist seemed to contain a terrifying power, causing his already pig-like face to swell even more, rendering it exceedingly ugly
Muni coldly reached a conclusion
Muni let out a grunt and fell backward
Muni excitedly replied: "There are as many as three thousand nine hundred crystals of resentment!"
Both sides are evenly matched, resulting in a stalemate
This means that you are a born skeleton warrior, a rare genius of my undead clan
This is already the second time today that He Ruozhi has received an invitation for a one-on-one challenge, and each time it has been due to his own provocation
Muni continued, "We skeleton soldiers lack the muscles and veins of humans, and we do not possess the same level of wisdom and strategy. The only thing we can rely on, our bones, are also so fragile that they could collapse at any moment. The weapons in our hands are nothing but rusty scrap metal. Yet, with such bodies, we must fight against the strong and fully armed humans, for within us burns an indomitable flame!"
Muni could not care less about his demeanor and shouted out loud
Hello, Mr. Muni, this is very painful!
"I, I just want to go home, Mr. Muni." He Ruo Zhi sighed, "If I really have to die, then let me die quietly, alright? I have no interest in becoming a skeleton soldier. After all, such things only win by numbers; a few dozen useless ones beating up one person, whether I am one more or one less makes no difference."
He Ruo Zhi finally could not hold back any longer and spread his arms wide
As He Ruo struggled desperately, an inexplicable feeling gradually arose in his heart
"So how much resentment is actually contained within me?" He Ruo asked timidly.
It turns out that Muni is indeed a skeleton soldier
I am not a coward
Seeing a living skeleton was already enough to instill fear and trepidation, let alone engaging in combat with it. After enduring several punches, He Ruo Zhi could no longer contain himself and was heavily thrown out.
He Ruo Zhi and * Tu * were so frightened that they almost wet their pants, not expecting that Mu Ni was just a "useless" skeleton soldier. However, He Ruo Zhi no longer felt that he could easily handle this skeleton soldier. Mu Ni was definitely not an ordinary skeleton minion, at least of the rank of a skeleton commander.
At that very moment, he felt an overwhelming force beneath his feet, as He Ruozhi unexpectedly and forcefully moved his foot, lifting Mu Ni up.
Muni's movements were as swift as a ghost, and before He Ruo Zhi could react, he had already taken two punches to his face and body
The skin that came into contact with the magic array felt as if it were being burned by fire, and He Ruozhi could not help but scream in agony
The strength of an individual is limited, but their will is infinite. Even if one possesses great power, if their spirit is exceedingly fragile, they are what is known as a coward
He Ruo Zhi foolishly touched the back of his head, never having imagined that he could possess such strength. Just now, it seemed that an inexplicable force had flowed throughout his body from his brain, filling He Ruo Zhi's body with explosive power
If He Ruozhi were to die of anxiety, he would only want to leave this space as soon as possible, yet the other party is still nitpicking over the words
What if the wise Khan, after talking for a long time, realizes that he is still suffering from a cold, and to make matters worse, he is destined to die as a skeleton soldier
Is it necessary to become a ghost that is so useless?
