Chapter 1032: Chapter 318 Necromancer
“People below the sixth tier shouldn’t look at the stele, otherwise who knows what kind of mental deformation they will experience!”
“There’s actually the legendary Forbidden Ruins Stele here, has anyone understood it, what does it say on it?”
“It seems to record a battle that once took place in this King’s Mausoleum of Augustus?”
“Hmm, I see the name of ‘Mad King’ Auduin on it…”
“The emperor of the Taron Dynasty? Hehe, don’t tell me this is the tomb of Auduin?”
“…”
The group led by Prince Salo was still studying the stele.
Such black steles were obviously not the only one, and a few people from the Southern Continent had heard of them.
But the stele was inscribed in true High-level Demon Language, and obviously they couldn’t understand it either.
Since they suspected that the Underground Palace was the Mausoleum of Augustus, no one dared to be careless.
Leonard Churchill watched from a distance, curious about what exactly was written on that black stele.
But from the information he knew so far, it seemed that the content on the stele appeared differently to each person.
Elder Clinton found on the stele memories that had been awakened, Catherine Carter comprehended a Demonic Solution from it, and Pursuer of Light read the historical truth on the stele…
Leonard himself had also seen scraps of information about a “plague” on the stele in the Upper State Prison.
And he almost became addicted to it.
Previously unable to understand it, he didn’t think he would understand it now either.
But thinking of the commonalities where the steles appeared, Leonard had a thought: “Could the existence of the stele be related to Divinity?”
It seemed that the stele required Divinity to charge it to maintain specific functions, such as revealing inscriptions?
Nonetheless, the stele was not important at the moment.
What was important was that the atmosphere of this Underground Palace was very eerie.
That feeling, as if a snake was slithering up from the ankle to the back of the neck, was becoming clearer, and now it had reached the neck.
Yet there were no anomalies detected.
Not just Leonard, but the high-tier guards and mercenaries had not sensed anything either.
The source of this eerie feeling could not be pinpointed.
Leonard glanced at Elder Clinton, who had shrunk into a corner of the crowd, knowing that something bad was happening.
…
Having guessed that this was a Royal Family Mausoleum of Augustus, no one dared to be careless.
But looking at that mysterious golden coffin, everyone’s eyes were filled with greedy fervor.
Prince Salo had come here for the mausoleum, and seeing nobody could read the stele, he didn’t waste more time and ordered, “Go, prepare to open the coffin.”
As he spoke, the guards protected the three young nobles, and various Restriction Cards were set up around them.
Then a few War Slaves took crowbars and walked shakily towards the golden coffin.
Leonard watched intently as well.
He had thought that the source of the danger would be the coffin.
However, no one expected that before the slaves even got close to the coffin, there was a sudden “boom,” like the rumble of canon fire piercing their ears.
Turning to look, the three nobles were actually fighting among themselves?
It was Second Young Master Kelly from the Duke Scarlet’s household who struck, landing a punch on Prince Salo standing beside him.
The attack was so close and sudden that Salo was caught off-guard, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
The guards were shocked and quickly protected Salo.
Leonard, watching the scene, his brows knitted together with confusion in an instant.
Although he had guessed that the nobles were not to be taken lightly,
this seemed too early to reveal their true intentions before the loot was divided, wasn’t it?
Prince Salo was also puzzled. Although he had not planned to share the treasure with anyone, now was not the time to act.
Besides, there were academy tutors responsible for supervising the examination in the team.
He shouted, “Kelly, do you realize what you are doing?!”
But what no one expected was that hearing this, Kelly’s mouth curled into a sinister smile, and his throat issued a raspy voice that did not seem human: “Those proficient in mausoleums must… die!”
The voice wasn’t loud but reverberated clearly throughout the Underground Palace.
The thousands in the Trial Group felt their skin crawl as if they had seen a ghost.
Everybody understood, Young Master Kelly was possessed by an Evil Spirit!
Prince Salo’s brow furrowed, seeming somewhat puzzled.

A guard nearby already shouted, “Beware Mental Pollution! Beware Evil Spirits! Use Holy Light to dispel it quickly!”
After all, they were elite guards of the Royal Family, and these people responded immediately.
Looking at Kelly who had become someone else, the situation was nothing but a Mental Illusion or an Evil Spirit Possession. Kelly’s guards rushed forward, pinning their young master underneath them, ready to perform an exorcism…
The Rune Highlands was rife with Undead Creatures; the mercenaries were also prepared.
Various pieces of Demon-banishing Equipment, Holy Water, Holy Light Spells, and Anti-Curse Artifact Items were taken out.
In a moment, the vast space blazed with Holy Light, and the dark air was dispelled.
From a distance, Leonard watched this sudden turn of events, a perplexed look flashing in his eyes: “Strange… how come I didn’t detect any Contamination at all?”
Normally, High-ranking nobility wasn’t short of treasures, and Young Master Kelly would certainly have gear to defend against Mysterious Type methods.
If it really were Evil Spirit Possession or Mental Pollution, others should have been more susceptible to it.
How did he get affected first?
Moreover, not a single ghostly Shadow had been seen in the mausoleum from start to finish, so where did this possession come from?
Eliminating these possibilities, it seemed to be a control of the Mental series.
Could it be some undetected Mental Series Undead Spirit? Or perhaps some kind of Relic?
