Chapter 187 – Sinister dark magic
...
"BOOMMMMMM!!!!" Thirteen lightning bolts struck precisely, hitting the armed guards and temporarily paralyzing them, making it impossible for them to even hold their guns. This is the power of instant-cast spells without any casting delay!
Chris quickly stood up, kicked the table and then knocked Kage down. He pulled out a handgun and efficiently killed all thirteen guards.
But in the next moment, a chilling coldness enveloped them. Dark energy invaded the lifeless bodies, causing them to twist and turn, rising again as mindless undead! They had lost their color, resembling resurrected, unconscious zombies!
"Fireball!" Chris accurately cast a magic spell, incinerating the revived undead into ashes.
As their bodies burned, they continued to move forward until their muscles were completely charred and they lost the strength to move, collapsing on the ground.
Kage crawled back in fear and quickly pressed a button beside a wall. The entire wall started rotating, swapping places and allowing Kage to escape to the other side.
With a cold smirk, Chris placed high explosives near the revolving door. He then communicated through a communicator, saying, "My ladies, you can move now."
After setting everything up, he activated the explosives and stood around the corner, smoking a cigarette, silently counting down.
"BOOM!!!" The sound of the explosion blended with the other explosives outside, instantly killing the Hydra bandits who was engaging in their multiplayer game. Flames engulfed the area.
Dottie and Sinthea threw flammable Molotov cocktails from the shadows, setting the stronghold on fire, creating chaos, while they hid theirselves, using a sniper rifle to kill the squad leaders responsible for commanding the group.
Meanwhile, Inside the mansion, the walls were blown open by explosives, and Chris put on a gas mask before proceeding through the smoke.
The corridor was filled with bats and crawling corpses and skeletons. Dim lighting added to the eerie atmosphere, sending shivers down one's spine.
But for Chris, these things weren't really a big deal. He pulled out a powerful flashlight and an unlimited ammunition assault rifle. The bullets could be replenished with CP - ten CP exchanged for a thousand rounds - economical and practical!
Ratatat! Metal storm swept through, and the bullet casings were instantly recycled by the Conqueror Store before they hit the ground.
Bullets carried immense kinetic energy and fiery starlight, turning the bats and ghouls in the corridor into fragments.
There is no need to worry about bullet resupply. And the recoil of the assault rifle is not a problem for Chris at all. Within his shooting range at this very moment, Chris was spreading truth all around. This is the allure of modern firearms!
"You bastards think you can eat me? Are you worthy? Trash, all of you are trash!" Chris cursed angrily while firing his gun. As long as the caliber is big enough and the firepower is sufficient, all sorts of monsters and supernatural beings will be turned into a hornet's nest by the bullets!
Ten minutes later, there was nothing intact in the corridor. The powerful flashlight swept across the area, revealing only remnants and a floor covered in bones.
There were no bodies, only pulverized corpses.
Chris activated his gas mask's powerful air filtration and left a teleportation coordinate in the main hall of the room for easy evacuation in case of any issues. Then, he cautiously entered the dark passage, using fire spells to incinerate any suspicious areas into ashes. Facing the sinister black magic for the first time, he didn't want to get caught off guard.
Passing through the dim passage, he entered the interior of the mountain wall.
The wall decorations were made of bones, with burning emerald flames, creating an increasingly eerie atmosphere.
Chris stroked his chin, looking at the cave. "Seems like there really are wizards here. Huh, interesting."
Where there were supernatural powers, there would be CP. If he could find the corresponding information, he could exchange it for enough magical knowledge to enhance himself. It would be a good way to strengthen himself.
Inside the cave, there was only one path leading to a large hall. In the center of the hall was a small reservoir, and an old bald man sat in the water. Kage stood behind the old man.
"Welcome to my territory, Chris. I never expected a scientist to possess magic. Truly surprising. I am Eckwart, the leader of Hydra's Middle East branch." The old man spoke slowly, his skin cracking, with ink-green energy surging through the cracks, seemingly repairing itself.
"No need for pleasantries. I'm curious, though. Where did you acquire these sorcery and magic? This can be considered a branch of magic. Tell me, and perhaps we can make a deal." Chris put away his assault rifle, swapping it for a standard magic wand. Only magic could defeat magic, and bullets had no effect on this kind of necromantic sorcery.
