Chapter 178 Death and Decay

From the look of Karl, it seemed that he had just experienced a fierce battle, narrowly escaped death, and his aura was very unstable.

The direction of Karl's escape happened to be towards Herrag.

Although Herague is not afraid of him now, he doesn't want to appear in front of other wizards in this form so early.

After leaving the Death Swamp ruins, he was still just a very weak gas wizard.

Even if there is only a hint of possibility, one cannot expose one's secrets prematurely.

Therefore, Herage was not prepared to meet Old Man Karl in this form for the time being.

It's okay if he doesn't recognize himself. If he recognizes himself, he must be silenced.

But a crystallized wizard always has many methods, and he is not confident that he can completely kill old man Karl.

Karl's innate spell is very special, and that kind of space spell is a bit difficult for Herage to handle.

Logically speaking, Karl has this kind of innate magic, at least self-protection should not be a problem.

Now he was running for his life in such a panic, not knowing what happened.

Herage glanced at the ghost and said in a deep voice: "There is a human over there, go and deal with him."

Ghost turned around and looked around. He had not yet sensed the arrival of old man Karl.

But since Herage said this, it is definitely not wrong.

Ghost leaned over and said, "Okay, sir."

The ghost stood up and floated towards old man Karl. It had no entity, and its whole body was covered with ink-like black light and shadow. ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ

Karl kept running forward while looking back behind him.

He was out of breath now, and his running speed gradually slowed down.

Carl leaned against a tree, panting, and wanted to take a rest here.

The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and Karl's pupils shrank, and he looked up and saw the ghost floating in the air.

"Ghost!" Karl's mood suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.

The ghost is a powerful monster in the abyss plane. He may not be able to deal with it at its peak, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it now.

The ghost didn't talk nonsense and directly spread out a large black mist, trying to wrap up Karl.

Karl reacted quickly, and a flash appeared more than ten meters away, avoiding the black fog.

But the ghost was faster, and with a shudder, a large black mist spread, covering the sky and the earth.

The black mist quickly enveloped Karl. During this process, black mist suddenly appeared in the distance.

Karl's innate spell cannot take care of every part of his body at the same time.

He can only distort the space of one position around his body at a time, and there is nothing he can do in the face of this all-round attack with no blind spots.

Karl's magic power was not much left, and the shield broke after being supported for a while.

The black mist of the ghost is highly corrosive, and even magic can corrode and devour it.

Karl struggled and reappeared more than ten meters away in a flash, but the black mist that had already attached to his body clung to him like maggots on his tarsus, corroding his flesh and blood.

The magic power in Karl's body was running wildly, constantly resisting the invasion of the black mist.

"Death and withering (Abyss language)." The ghost made a dull and strange syllable.

Various vegetation on the ground withered instantly, and a layer of frost appeared on the ground.

Old man Karl's body was also covered with a layer of white frost, and his face quickly became thinner, as if it had been sucked dry by something.

Karl's hair quickly withered and became like weeds without any luster.

Immediately afterwards, his hair began to fall out, and when the wind blew, large tracts of hair began to fall.

There were patches of bare scalp left on Carl's head, which looked very ugly.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The flesh and blood on Karl's body began to dry up, like dead wood.

The skin quickly dries up and looks like old tree bark.

Karl's whole body arched up, curled up like a baby.

It didn’t take long before Karl completely disappeared.

Death and withering can absorb the vitality of living things. Plants such as weeds are sucked dry in an instant and become withered grass.

If Karl was in his prime, he should have no problem escaping.

But he was already injured and was unable to escape.

After being stuck by the black mist, just dealing with and resisting the black mist took up all his energy.

After the ghost used death and withering, Karl was unable to stop it and could only watch his life force drain away.

He was old and had very little vitality left, and it was sucked dry in a short time.

After Carl's death, the ghost continued to wrap Carl's body in black mist.

After a few minutes, the black fog dissipated, leaving only a pile of bones.

After the ghost completely eliminated Carl, he returned to his life.

"Well done." Herage praised lightly.

Ghost lowered his head and said: "It is my honor to serve you."

Herage turned around, looked around, and said, "Continue to lead the way and take a walk around."

The ruins of the Death Swamp can only be opened for three days, and Herage has no intention of venturing to other places.

There are a lot of resources here in Ghost that can be collected, and they are safe enough.

This large area belongs to the ghost's sphere of influence, and there will be no monsters stronger than him.

Going elsewhere involves risks, not to mention the possibility of meeting other wizards.

Anyway, it will be automatically teleported out when the time comes, and Herage will just be prepared to stay here with peace of mind.

When Herage was collecting nearby resources, the two monsters, the ghost and the human-faced monkey, followed him as honestly as his younger brother.

His space ring contained various potion materials and spell-casting materials, and he made a lot of money.

After nightfall, Herague lived under the giant tree of the ghost.

The branches are so thick that they can be used as a roof.

Herage lay under the tree, meditating as usual.

The ghosts and human-faced monkeys acted as guards, patrolling and guarding the surroundings for him.

Under the moonlight, the surroundings did not appear very dark.

"Do you want to go back?" Herage asked after finishing his meditation.

The human-faced monkey couldn't speak or communicate with others. He just touched the back of his head.

Ghost replied: "Sir, I want to go back every moment, but the cracks in the plane have been sealed."

It was curious about how Hrag came here, but it wouldn't ask unless Hrag told him.

It cannot ask too many questions about the affairs of the superior.

It's early morning, about two hours before sunrise.

Deep in the west of the Black Forest, a red beam of light rose into the sky, illuminating the dark night.

At this moment, the entire Death Swamp ruins could see this red light pillar, and everyone looked up.

Herage also opened his eyes and felt the strong magic wave.

He looked up and saw that the red beam of light looked familiar.

"This is……"

This red light beam is very similar to the light beam that old man Carl used to seize control of the Black Rock Valley Witch Array that day, almost exactly the same.

"The witch formation in the Death Swamp ruins...can't be..."

Herage suddenly thought that there could be some kind of witch formation in the ruins of the Death Swamp. Isn't it the witch formation that seals the cracks in the plane?
