The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 17 The Demoness Saves the Beauty

They plunged headlong into the steep, rocky, and withered hillside. Lin Ye relied entirely on the environmental perception scan brought by necromancy to desperately search for a way out in the complex terrain.

The terrifying aura behind me was like a leech, getting closer and closer. The icy rage felt like a real, cold wind, making my very soul tremble.

Logically speaking, the speed of the Ghost Pokémon should be very poor, but Ghost Pokémon have their own tricks for traveling, not to mention that they also have "professional" level absolute strength.

Soon, a swift shadow passed by the group, and after a violent roll, it revealed itself to be a Pokémon in the shape of a golden coffin!

"As expected, it's a case of multiple coffins being lost; this is troublesome!"

"It's you! I sensed your presence before; it's different from other humans."

"I never expected you to be so audacious, daring to raid my palace while I was away. I should have killed you then and there."

"Tell me, what is your relationship with the owner of that tomb?"

"Relationship? That tomb was built by me before I died, and I have always been its master. You scoundrel are the first human to enter it in the last two hundred years."

"So that's how it is. It seems these lost coffins are the manifestation of the resentment of the prince who was buried there." Thinking this to himself, Lin Ye advised:

"You are no longer human, so what meaning do those burial goods hold for you? Let me take them out and let them see the light of day again!"

"Absurd! How dare you, a commoner from the countryside, lay your hands on the royal offerings! You have offended the imperial majesty today, so why don't you surrender and atone for your sins?"

"You have lived in this ancient tomb for so long that you probably don't know that the outside world has long since changed, and there are no more emperors and generals."

What's most important to you right now is improving your own strength. Why give up a precious item like the "Curse Talisman" to ask for such a useless mortal thing?

"Hehe~, how arrogant this junior dares to lecture me!"

The "Curse Symbol" is still a little while away from its final form, and annihilating you is merely a matter of lifting a finger; it won't delay our main task.

The golden coffin containing the old prince stopped talking and the two upper parts of its connected black limbs instantly extended, grabbing towards Zoroya and the giant pumpkin spirit respectively.

Zoroar neither dodged nor evaded, but instead slammed his claws, which were wrapped in dark energy, onto the ground, unleashing a "retribution" attack.

The giant pumpkin spirit was terrified and immediately explained that it was not with them. However, seeing that the coffin was attacking it without any reaction, it had no choice but to condense and shoot out a "Shadow Ball".

The Shadow Claw of the Lost Coffin first tore the Shadow Ball apart, paused briefly, and then continued its rapid advance, easily subduing the giant pumpkin spirit.

However, the "Shadow Claw" that went to grab Zoroya missed its target. At the same time, resentful energy of "retribution" emerged from the ground beneath Die Shi Coffin's feet, enveloping the old prince.

"How is this possible? This little fox clearly possesses pure ghost energy, so why are its signature moves ineffective?"

The little fox had no intention of explaining to the out-of-touch old prince. Before the latter could figure it out, it immediately launched another "revenge" attack!

The pitch-black resentment energy crashed against the coffin of the Lost Coffin, producing a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

However, due to the significant difference in level, even with the elemental advantage, Die Shi Guan did not show any signs of defeat. Instead, he immediately launched a counterattack, his eyes instantly lighting up with a pink halo. He actually used "Mental Strength" to suppress Zoroya from a distance.

Seeing that Zoroa and Pumpkin Spirit were both immobilized, Lin Ye immediately used the Soul Binding Technique. An energy that should not belong to this world, but which could work on Ghost Pokémon, suddenly pressed down on the old prince.

The sudden pressure also had the effect of confining energy, causing Die Shi Guan's "Mental Strength" and "Shadow Claw" to fail simultaneously, and both Zoroya and the giant pumpkin spirit regained their freedom.

At this moment, Lin Ye's face was pale and the veins on his forehead were bulging. This was the first time since he came to the Pokémon world that he had struggled so much from casting necromancy.

This is a huge difference in energy level. According to Lin Ye's own perception and understanding, his current magical energy level as an apprentice necromancer is roughly equivalent to the peak of "excellent" level!

If he can break through to become a formal mage, his energy level should be equivalent to the "professional" level.

Seeing that Lin Ye's magic was about to give way, Zoroya and the Pumpkin Spirit immediately attacked Die Shi Coffin, striking it with "Revenge" and "Shadow Ball" in succession. At the same time, Lin Ye's control finally reached its limit, and Die Shi Coffin broke free.

"Alright, alright~ It seems that you and that little fox are not ordinary people!"

"It is not that I cannot forgive your offense, but you must remain and serve me."

"What a joke! To expect Zoroya and me to live like that skeleton and the single-edged sword sheath, never seeing the light of day again, is worse than death!"

"What! You don't want to? Then I'll have no choice but to personally take you back!"

After he finished speaking, a chilling dark energy gathered in front of Die Shi's coffin!

Although this energy is still black, it is not as illusory as the previous ghost energy, but much more solid and substantial!

"Oh no, it's an evil attribute!"

Lin Ye was shocked. If they were hit by this evil attribute skill that suppressed their level, the giant pumpkin and Zoroia would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, he himself was also injured by the backlash when the Coffin of the Lost Coffin broke free from the Soul Binding Technique, and was temporarily unable to mobilize his magic power.

Faced with the incoming jet of dark light, Zoroah and the Pumpkin Spirit had no choice but to continue using "An Eye for an Eye" and "Shadow Ball" to defend themselves.

However, the two ghostly energies were suppressed and pushed back in an instant, and it looked as if they were about to be swallowed up by the pillar of light.

Even from a distance, the destructive aura made Lin Ye gasp for breath.

Just when they were about to be in dire straits, a familiar, melodious voice rang out beside them, and then Lin Ye felt the temperature around him suddenly drop.

Lin Ye realized what was happening and turned his head to see the petite, floating figure surrounded by glistening snowflakes.

"Snow Fairy! What are you doing here!"

"Oh dear, I just sensed your presence and came this way. Then I realized your presence was weakened, so I sped up a bit. Luckily, I made it in time."

"Was it this coffin that injured Lin Ye? With me here, I will never let you hurt a single hair on Lin Ye's head again."

The Snow Fairy smiled affectionately at Lin Ye, then conjured an "ice beam" in front of her, joining forces with Zoroa and the giant pumpkin spirit to block the "Evil Wave".

The front of the black beam of light began to freeze into ice, which was quickly broken, but its forward speed was greatly slowed down.

"Is this what it feels like to be protected? But it seems like the genders are slightly reversed."
