Chapter 287 - Chapter 287 The Mysterious Leader

Minori wasn't surprised that Khajiit had guessed that the means of summoning multiple angels in the past was the use of magic scrolls.

That mysterious leader who resurrected Khajiit should have been able to guess it.

"You also know that third-tier magic scrolls are very precious," Minori shrugged.

Using magic scrolls to release magic requires possessing the same magic system. For example, if Minori used the "Angel Summoning" scroll, he would necessarily have a faith-based profession.

"Dual-system caster" is not considered an amazing thing.

The Khajiit in front of him was one such example. Originally, the other party was a faith-based magic chanter, but later abandoned this power and switched to the magic system.

However, in the other party's professional structure, they still possessed a faith-based profession.

Minori had long considered the possibility of Khajiit's resurrection, using the "Angel Summoning" magic scroll as a disguise.

To make Khajiit and the leader behind him believe even more that Minori, this mysterious caster, only used "Angel Summoning" as a disguise.

In reality, he wasn't good at it.

This was to distinguish himself from "Genius Alchemist" Minori, the adventurer who was good at using "Angel Summoning."

This was also the reason why Khajiit wasn't surprised at all when Minori displayed his magic system's magic.

"Damn it!"

Khajiit stared at Minori intently. The other party's casual and disdainful attitude made him clench the staff in his hand, creaking.

The anger of being killed by someone was not so easily extinguished. Even after so long, he still couldn't forget the coldness of death's arrival and the powerlessness of struggling in the darkness.

But more than all of this!

What made Khajiit even more resentful was that the other party had destroyed everything he had worked so hard for, that was the profound desire for "death."

"It's you, it's you!"

Khajiit's whole body exuded a strong aura of negative energy. Suppressed anger and resentment roared out completely: "You ruined everything for me!"

The gnashing roar echoed in the dark cemetery, giving a creepy feeling.

Facing the exasperated Khajiit.

"Spiral of Death," Minori calmly uttered four words.

Khajiit's distorted expression paused, and his breathing became a little more rapid. He looked at Minori with a face full of disbelief:

"How could you possibly know!"

"Spiral of Death" was an evil ritual mastered by their [Zurrernorn]. Their leader had once turned a city into a place where the undead roamed.

A completely dead city!

This was also the reason why they [Zurrernorn] could resound throughout various countries, and were regarded as enemies and feared by many countries.

But the real name of the "Spiral of Death" ritual was only known to the internal members of their organization.

"Are you very surprised?"

Minori's right arm stretched out from the red robe, and a dark black bead that looked like an ordinary stone appeared in the palm of his hand:

"Of course, it told me."

Khajiit knew very well who "it" referred to. His cold eyes looked at his former treasure, with both fear and desire in his eyes.

That was a terrifying magical tool with independent consciousness. The "Pearl of Death" naturally knew everything he had done before.

"That's my thing!"

Khajiit took a step forward and then stopped, emphasizing loudly. On his already extremely poor pale complexion, a faint complex emotion was revealed, but more of it was still greed and desire.

Since his resurrection, without the "Pearl of Death," he had gradually realized that his spirit had been unknowingly influenced by it.

Even so!

Without the "Pearl of Death," it would be even more difficult or even hopeless for him to truly transform into an undead.

In a trance!

Khajiit suddenly woke up. He wasn't stupid and knew that Minori had lured him here, naturally not to "reminisce" with him.

He couldn't wait to kill the other party!

Although there were only twelve high disciples in the [Zurrernorn], in addition to some truly eccentric people, each high disciple had a group of disciples who swore allegiance to them.

Even someone with Khajiit's personality had a group of subordinates.

During this period, rumors spread from the "Common Cemetery" that a special undead was suspected of being born. The disciples hidden in "E-Rantel" passed this news to him.

And since his resurrection, Khajiit had been serving by the leader's side.

Originally, he only needed to stay for a few months, but after seeing that great existence who could be called the "Undead King," the legendary Dark Night Lich "Terror."

Khajiit stayed in the "domain of the legendary lich," feeling that greatness and the love of negative energy.

As a result, after he reported this news to the leader, he was sent away by the leader, asking him to investigate "E-Rantel" to see if a special undead had really been born.

In fact, this was a disguised way of driving people away.

Khajiit was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he could only honestly obey the order. After returning to "E-Rantel," he obtained information through inquiries.

He vaguely realized that it might be the ghost of the guy who killed him in the first place.

So, after entering the "Common Cemetery."

Khajiit deliberately made a commotion, wanting to test it out, but he didn't expect it to really be the other party!

Speaking of which.

This was his territory, and this bastard ruined everything for him!

Another trace of blood appeared in Khajiit's eyes, but his eyes became much clearer, quickly thinking about Minori's true purpose, and said coldly:

"You should know my identity, right?"

Being able to know the "Spiral of Death" ritual from the "Pearl of Death" meant that knowing that he was a high disciple of [Zurrernorn] shouldn't be a problem.

Even!

The other party might have known his identity from the beginning, so he was able to kill him with preparation, and even snatched his "Pearl of Death."

"Indeed, I know some things."

Minori let out a calm chuckle, the head covered by the red hood slightly raised:

"According to rumors, [Zurrenorn] is a group of evil secret societies that rely on the undead and take radical actions, possessing powerful strength."

"In addition to the organization's ruler, the 'Leader,' there are also twelve terrifyingly powerful high disciples. Oh, what a terrifying force."

The other party was clearly praising their organization.

Khajiit felt it was sarcasm. He, this high disciple, died in the hands of the other party, and now there were only eleven of them!

"It's a pity."

Minori looked around, seemingly shaking his head helplessly: "It's been so long, and no one else has appeared. I originally thought I could meet your [Zurrernorn]'s Leader and cooperate with your Leader."

"I am very interested in the 'Spiral of Death' ritual, transforming the human body into an 'undead' and obtaining an almost eternal form."

"A long life, a power close to immortality—this is a field that even the legendary Six Great Gods have failed to set foot in."

"'Curse of Death'? No, no, this is the blessing of death!"

Minori's voice seemed a little excited at the end, but his eyes were very calm, even revealing a pity.

Just now, he had already used "Ninjutsu· Detection" to detect the surroundings. Apart from Khajiit, there was indeed no one else.

Minori's original plan was to lure out the Leader of [Zuranon] and join [Zuranon] by showing his strength as proof.

And the reason?

It was the "Spiral of Death" ritual and the "Pearl of Death" magical tool.

If he could successfully join, the matter of the Abelion Hills could be perfectly blamed on [Zuranon].

If he couldn't join, he could also cooperate, and he could still blame [Zuranon].

Throughout the entire process.

The only possibility was a conflict with the [Zuranon] Leader, but as long as Minori showed the power of the 5th tier magic and summoned a few bone dragons.

Coupled with the location of the "Common Cemetery," the possibility of a fierce conflict between the two sides, directly fighting to the death, would be reduced.

In addition!

There was also a more real reason. Minori wanted to determine the identity and strength of the [Zuranon] Leader.

This was a very mysterious person.

Mysterious to the point that Minori's current strength required him to be vigilant.

Through the only intelligence analysis. There were quite a few high disciples in [Zuranon] who had reached the Heroic Domain.

The one Minori killed in the Great Swamp was one of them. The fact that the Leader could steadily suppress this group of people undoubtedly showed that the Leader's strength was at least in the "Heroic Domain."

If that was all.

Minori wouldn't have used "vigilant" to describe it. In the only side information.

Khajiit had arrogantly mentioned that "magic chanters cannot defeat bone dragons," but if their leader asked, "Can you say the same thing in front of me again," he would do his best to lower his head.

Through this point.

It showed that the Leader possessed the power to defeat powerful summoned creatures like bone dragons.

Minori wasn't sure.

To defeat bone dragons, in addition to using high-tier magic, you could also attack them through other powerful means, including summoning magic.

In the end, bone dragons were formidable monsters, often linked to 7th tier summons and representing a significant threat.

"Is that your purpose?"

Khajiit lowered his head halfway, the shadows covered by the dilapidated temple preventing him from seeing the other party's expression at the moment, only his shoulders kept shaking.

Suddenly.

Khajiit raised his head again, his corrupt and old face distorted: "Hahaha, you overestimate yourself, who do you think you are!"

"Hmph, you also deserve to cooperate with the Leader. You provoked [Zuranon], and you dare to appear in front of me, you bastard!"

"Your existence has affected the dignity of [Zuranon]. If this is your last words, then let it end here!"

At this moment!

Khajiit felt that he had completely understood Minori's purpose, and the other party coveted the eternal life of the "undead."

It was probably because of the influence of the "Pearl of Death."

As the former holder of this magical tool, Khajiit was too clear about the influence and bewitchment of the "Pearl of Death" on the holder's spirit.

Facing Khajiit, who was laughing maniacally and whose aura of negative energy was becoming more and more intense.

Minori quietly watched the other party with calm eyes.

This guy's strength level was lower than before in the detection, but he seemed to be a little overconfident at the moment.
