Semua Bab Master of Life and Death: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Nodding, Fiona said to Cassian, "I've watched a lot of horror movies before. He's dressed like one of the corpsewalkers of Thimberton.""Oh, my. That little filly knows a thing or two. She actually recognized me, huh? That's pretty impressive," the old man in black remarked.Licking his lips, he was practically drooling as he ogled Fiona.Was he really a corpsewalker?Cassian narrowed his eyes.According to legend, the corpsewalkers of Thimberton practiced a mystical technique known as corpse animation. It was basically a form of sorcery and quite a mysterious one at that.These people were renowned during the Endorian Era. By using their mystical technique, they could transport bodies of those who'd died thousands of miles away from their hometown, allowing them to be buried in peace back home.A corpsewalker was capable of controlling a dead body and making it move.Cassian immediately figured out why Roy and the others had clawed out of their coffins after they'd died. Someo

With a shift in his tone, Phantom remarked, "I can consider letting them go if…""If what?" Cassian asked."If you give her to me so that I can make her my missus, I'll let the rest go." Phantom licked his lips as he pointed at Fiona.Fiona's face drained of color. Trembling, she said, "Dr. York, I don't—""Dream on!"Before Fiona even finished her sentence, Cassian exploded in fury and rushed forward.Even if Fiona weren't his subordinate but a total stranger to him, Cassian still wouldn't even consider leaving her in the hands of a sick pervert like Phantom. He was a twisted bastard who wouldn't even spare the dead. Who knew the kind of torment a living person would suffer if they fell into his hands?Brimming with rage, Cassian pushed his speed to the absolute limit. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Phantom. His left fist struck toward Phantom's head, while the scalpel in his right hand was aimed at Phantom's throat.Both were lethal blows, done with every intent t

Cassian swiftly searched his mind. Soon, he found, among the entries in the Compendium of Madiora Charms and Spells, a type of enchantment that was specifically created to neutralize corpses and zombies.It was called Corpse Bind.Cassian bit the tip of his right middle finger and used his blood to trace a sigil in the air, murmuring incantations under his breath.Three seconds later, he pressed a finger to Roy's forehead.Instantly, Roy's body froze as if it'd been paralyzed. His pale face took on a pale green hue with dark red flecks scattered throughout. Then, his body stiffened and toppled backward.After hitting the ground, Roy's body no longer moved.This method worked!Thrilled, Cassian quickly used Corpse Bind to take down the other corpses."Peter, Hugh, keep Fiona safe. I'm going to look for Mr. Gulley," Cassian said before rushing into the forest.He moved at incredible speed, like a monkey dashing through the trees.A few minutes later, he spotted Darren, who was

"What a sneaky old bastard," Cassian cursed under his breath.Over the years, Phantom had committed countless atrocities, and many people wanted to hunt him down. So that he could continue to avoid them while also conducting his research into necromancy, he'd dug out a hidden room inside an abandoned well. It was a testament to his sly and devious nature.Who would ever think that there would be someone hiding inside a well?Cassian couldn't help beating himself up about it as well. If he had been a little more thorough yesterday, he might have discovered Phantom, which meant that Roy wouldn't have had to die.He looked again but didn't see Pip anywhere.Withdrawing his gaze, Cassian said to Darren and the others, "You guys need to stand back.""Is that bastard really inside the well, Dr. York?" Darren still found it hard to believe."You'll see for yourself soon enough," Cassian said before using the Covenant of Lightning.As thunder roared, a bolt of lightning shot down from

Cassian suddenly dropped low, his knees skidding across the ground as he slid beneath Phantom. Then, he flipped backward, his right leg whipping up toward Phantom's back.Phantom hadn't expected Cassian to circle behind him and attack. Roaring, he turned midair, his body contorting, to face Cassian head-on. His fingers shot toward Cassian's foot.Cassian cursed inwardly, feeling pretty shocked. He didn't expect the old bastard to be this agile. If he didn't pull his leg back, Phantom would seize it before his kick could even connect. That would put him at a disadvantage, which was certainly not what he wanted.There was no time to think. At that critical moment, Cassian hastily withdrew his leg. However, unwilling to give up just like that, he quietly tossed out a Lightning Charm before backing away.Phantom seized the chance to rush after Phantom.While retreating, Cassian muttered the incantation, "Let the might of lightning gather. Let the heavens quake and the earth be torn as
