Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 117: The spoils!
In the first hall, screams covered everything!
What was even more surprising was that the poisonous fog around the Corpse King began to gradually disappear.
His vitality dropped sharply, and in just a few breaths, at least one third was gone.
His body was almost collapsed, and the originally tight shroud had many cracks.
"Sure enough, although Holy Water No. 11 is not the strongest holy water, it is very effective in restraining zombies."
"This old guy Collins has a lot of good stuff in his hands. I have to find an opportunity to squeeze as much as possible next time."
Marvin laughed secretly in his heart.
Others put horrible poison into the syringe, but he poured high-purity holy water into the syringe.
This portion of holy water was also part of the deal between him and Collins. This small bottle was considered an advance payment.
Without Holy Water No. 11, a magic weapon that can specifically restrain corpse-like creatures, Marvin would never dare to kill a monster of the level of the Corpse King alone.
Now, without the poisonous fog, the most troublesome aspect of the Corpse King has disappeared.
Marvin begins his show!
…
"It's holy water... I smell that sickening odor."
Among the special group of mysterious people, the cloaked man lowered his head and sighed, "This kid's ideas are really novel."
"According to the rules, your little blood slave is mine, right?"
The masked man snorted, but in the end he could only nod helplessly.
However, the look he gave Marvin was more ruthless.
This guy actually made me lose the fresh blood slave I just got. I must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson later!
…
In the eyes of others, Marvin's performance can be called magical.
After the syringe went down, the Corpse King completely lost the domineering aura he had at the beginning.
Marvin's figure was like lightning, quickly wrapping around him.
His knife skills are dazzling.
The flash of swords was heavy, and the Corpse King tried to fight back angrily, but he was originally slow, and after losing the cover of the poisonous fog, he could not keep up with Marvin's rhythm at all.
shroud!
In Marvin's opinion, the greatest value of this corpse king is the shroud wrapped around his body.
Others didn't know and thought that these smelly and disgusting shrouds were just decorations of the Corpse King. Only he knew that this thing was a magical item!
It must be taken off the corpse king's body intact, otherwise it would be a waste of resources and the expensive holy water would also be wasted.
For this reason, Marvin was very careful.
He once again used the technique he used to take off the shield guardian armor on the top of the snowy mountain last time.
With both swords out at the same time, Ma Wen was able to master various postures.
In just a dozen breaths, the corpse king's shroud was untied bit by bit.
And Marvin himself was constantly circling around the corpse king and the sarcophagus.
Everyone was dizzy.
It took Marvin a full minute and a half to remove the shroud perfectly.
At this time, the Corpse King was already at the end of his strength.
Injecting Holy Water No. 11 into his body is simply the most terrifying nightmare for a corpse-like monster like him.
He was naked, with piles of rotten flesh. At this moment, the Corpse King was no different from ordinary corpse seekers, except that he was a little bigger in size.
Bang!
Marvin tore off the shroud with force and stuffed it into the Void Conch as if it were a treasure.
At this moment, everyone looked at Marvin differently.
This guy actually likes this.
This taste is really not good... Look at this corpse king, even if she was a woman when she was alive, she is now rotten beyond recognition.
Should I keep a shroud like this as a keepsake?
Just when all kinds of dirty thoughts emerged in everyone's mind, Marvin attacked with both swords!
This time, he truly launched a fierce and brutal attack.
The double-bladed ronin burst out with a burst of energy, and with several rounds of crazy slashing, he scraped all the rotten flesh off the corpse king's body!
Cross it!
Marvin bent down and shaved off the corpse king's kneecap.
He turned around, spun around, and the scimitar in his left hand accurately hit the corpse king's shoulder blade!
With a snap, the corpse king's arm was torn off.
Then there was a performance-like scene.
Marvin once again demonstrated his superb knife skills.
He was like the most demanding chef, cutting the corpse king into eight pieces with one cut after another!
As the last bone of the corpse king fell to the ground, Marvin slowly stood up and let out a long breath.
It has to be said that fighting against the Corpse King alone was still somewhat stressful for him.
After all, it was a long and highly focused battle, and without the help of holy water, he would have no hope at all.
Even so, it was a challenge for him to kill the Corpse King perfectly without any harm, without being able to show any trump cards other than his swordsmanship.
Fortunately, he not only completed it, but also completed it perfectly.
He even vaguely felt that his scimitar mastery level seemed to be about to break through.
This is a very strange feeling, but it cannot be found on the data panel, and Marvin himself feels it is a bit unreal.
But he does exist.
It will be soon.
…
Most people were amazed at how easily and neatly Marvin killed the Corpse King.
At this point, they finally began to admit that Baron Marvin was indeed quite capable.
He was able to join the team and gain the attention of Lady Madeline, which shows that he has some ability.
After all, apart from the Chief Wizard Group, few of the people present dared to say that they could defeat a monster like the Corpse King in a one-on-one fight.
This is still the case even if they are given Holy Water No. 11!
The holy water sprinkled on the skin of the corpse king had almost no effect because of the protection of the shroud!
Even if we could just create a little space to allow the holy water to touch the corpse king's skin, the effect would be minimal.
Only by forcibly injecting holy water into the body of the Corpse King like Marvin can the effect be achieved.
However, this performance, although seemingly easy, is actually extremely difficult!
Only someone like Marvin, who has killed countless times, can do this.
After getting the benefit, Marvin quickly returned to the formation.
Madeline nodded and said, "Well done. You have the priority to choose the spoils this round."
Ma Wen was stunned for a moment, then he was secretly happy.
The spoils he referred to before were clearly the shroud of the corpse king, but who knew that Madeline had misunderstood his meaning.
It seems that what she meant was that after the entire first hall was cleaned, she would have the priority right to select the spoils!
In that case, Marvin certainly won't be polite.
He would never tell Medili that the Corpse King's shroud was itself a magical item—and it was a rare and incomparable magical item!
He just nodded and said nothing.
… …
The battle was over quickly.
The corpse seekers who lost the corpse king obviously lost their backbone.
With the joint efforts of the Guardian Knights and the River Beach City Garrison, the corpse seekers were easily wiped out.
The entire first hall was swept clean.
The logistics team began to come in and take away the spoils. These logistics personnel were all Madeline's confidants or slaves, and were absolutely trusted or controlled.
Under Madeline's command, the first hall was quickly cleared.
There are three types of loot. The first type is the weapons or items of the corpse seekers, which are basically worthless. The second type is the coffins. There are thirty coffins in total, including the stone coffin of the corpse king. These coffins are materials for black magic, and if they are sold to the undead wizards in the Despair Hill, they should be worth some money. The third type is the treasure chests found by the wanderers. There are not many of these treasure chests, but they may contain precious things.
Madeline glanced at Marvin and signaled him to choose first.
Ma Wen pondered for a moment and pretended to keep his eyes on the treasure chest for a while. Just when everyone thought he was going to pick up a few treasure chests, he actually pointed his finger.
"I want these."
What he was referring to were the coffins!
Everyone looked at Marvin with more and more confusion. Is this guy really a fool or does he have other plans?
Could it be that he is also a necromancer? He wants to transform living people into corpse seekers according to the secret method?
This is unlikely... I've never heard of the undead haunting the White River Valley.
As for selling it, God knows how much those undead wizards would give for it. It is far less cost-effective than these treasure chests, and there is no risk.
After all, if you do business with an undead wizard, you have to be prepared to be killed and have your treasure robbed.
"You want these coffins?" Madeline was also a little surprised.
Ma Wen nodded: "It's up to you."
After he said that, Madeline felt a little unpredictable.
In the battle just now, Marvin had definitely made a great contribution. The fighting power of the Corpse King was there, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it. If Marvin had not been so brave and rushed out to kill the Corpse King single-handedly, there might have been several casualties.
She had to satisfy Marvin when it came to the distribution of the spoils.
So she hesitated for a moment, and finally allocated half of the thirty coffins, including the sarcophagus, to Marvin.
Marvin had no objection to this. He was already very satisfied to get half of the coffin .
These coffins are of no use to others, but they are worth a try for him.
He has a way to transform this vicious coffin into a normal culture tank. Through this culture tank, the human physique can be slightly strengthened.
After this thing is improved, it will be perfect for enhancing the strength of the security team.
However, he couldn't do it alone and needed help from at least one guy who was proficient in necromancy.
As for that guy, Marvin naturally already had a candidate in mind.
…
The spoils were quickly divided up and the first hall was cleared to ensure there were no monsters.
After taking over the first hall, Madeline did not rush to attack, but ordered the shield defenders to tear down the outer gate and then block the passage between the first hall and the second hall.
They began to set up camp in the second hall.
Steady and steady progress is the key to victory.
"It's already evening. Let's rest for the night and continue attacking the second hall tomorrow."
At Madeline's command, everyone started to get busy again. Tents were set up one after another in the Scarlet Monastery.
Marvin and Isabel were assigned to a separate tent.
…
Late at night, while the little girl was asleep, Marvin suddenly crawled out of the sleeping bag.
His footsteps were silent and he soon arrived at a corner of the first hall.
Who knew that at this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded behind him:
"Do you think you can fool everyone?"
