NABC Chapter 13 Secrets
Chapter 13 Secrets
Zorua was not afraid of Machop's attacks at all and planned to deliver the final blow to the shaky Cursed Doll before going all out against Machop.
Just then, it suddenly received a telepathic message from Lin Ye, and trusting it completely, it switched its target to its wrist strength, ignoring the "phosphorus fire" condensed by the cursed doll!
The next moment, Zorua jumped up from the spot, a silver wind shield spinning in front of him, to meet the arm strike.
The latter attacked earlier, its arm, already brimming with energy, swung down suddenly, but it felt nothing and even caused the creature to stumble, almost falling headfirst.
But just as the wrist brace regained its balance, Zoroia, carrying a violently spinning silver aura, crashed into it, instantly sending it flying.
"What! Why is Fighting-type ineffective? Could its attribute be...? How is that possible? How could it have such an overpowered attribute?!"
An unbelievable thought popped into the man's mind, but the next moment, something even more astonishing happened.
The "phosphorus fire" that the cursed doll had originally condensed vanished completely, and it seemed to be under the coercion of some mysterious energy, trembling and frozen in place.
The cursed doll wasn't transformed by some other Pokémon using a similar "freeze" technique, but by a handsome young man with a sunny smile.
At this moment, he raised a hand that was emitting a sinister black energy, trapping the cursed doll in mid-air.
"How...how is this possible? A super...superpowered person! No! This isn't a superpower, are you human or a demon?!"
"Hehe~, whether it's a human or a ghost, that depends on how you define it!"
Lin Ye used the Soul Binding spell, a basic necromancy technique! It's a control spell that can interfere with and bind the actions of undead creatures!
This spell is ineffective against humans and other Pokémon, but it works on Ghost-type Pokémon, and quite well, probably because Ghost is super effective against Ghost.
Taking advantage of the cursed doll being controlled, Zoroya delivered the final blow, and then easily defeated Armstrong, who had no effective moves against him.
At this moment, the man opposite was trembling and begged for mercy repeatedly:
"Master, I have no grudge against you! If you spare me, I don't want any of these spoils, and I'll give you everything I brought with me!"
"Indeed, there is no grudge between us, but you know all my secrets, which makes things a bit difficult."
"Great Master, I know a secret about the Sending God Mountain, which holds an immense opportunity."
"But my strength is too weak, I didn't dare to take it. Master, you can subdue ghosts, you must have no problem. I'll tell you everything, can you spare my life?"
Tell me about it~
"In that direction, about two kilometers away, in the middle of a mountain valley, there is an ancient altar."
I was also searching for the "miracle seed," which is why I stayed at Mount Sumeru and explored that area.
The Cursed Doll and I once saw from afar that some treasure seemed to be being nurtured on that ancient altar, most likely the "Cursed Symbol."
"A 'Cursed Symbol'! With such a good thing available, why don't you grab it right away!"
"I dream about it! But there are already other powerful Pokémon eyeing the altar, all seemingly gathered for the 'Curse Symbol' that is about to be born."
If they hadn't been wary of each other and unwilling to move easily, I wouldn't have had any chance of retreating.
Master, I've told you everything I know. Now, please let me go.
"You talk a good game, but why should I believe you!"
"Master, I can personally take you there. If you discover that it's fake, you can kill me on the spot!"
Oh, by the way, when I escaped from there, I also took a precious treasure with me; you'll see it when you see it.
As he spoke, the man reached into his backpack and pulled out a crossbow made of composite materials, raising his hand to fire!
But in the next instant, a dark shadow that had appeared at his feet suddenly attacked, grabbing him and swallowing him up in the blink of an eye. When it was released, he had already collapsed without any breath left!
Lin Ye walked over, took off his spatial backpack, and dumped all the contents out with a "whoosh"!
The first thing that catches the eye is the "Miracle Seed" that shimmers with a gentle, emerald-green light.
Although it was only a basic item, it was still a treasure worth over a million. Lin Ye carefully put it away, planning to return to Water Lily City to exchange it for an equivalent Ghost-type item.
But the other spoils weren't much to look at. That guy was only an "excellent" trainer, and he also had to raise two Pokémon, so he wasn't exactly rolling in money.
The miscellaneous items and cash on his person were worth less than 20,000 yuan, which Lin Ye repeatedly shook his head at and accepted with disdain.
After that, he didn't devour all the other ghost Pokémon around him, leaving the weak Pumpkin and Wood Spirits scattered all over the ground, and went straight for Cursed Doll and Wood Spirit.
After all, these weak Pokémon can't be squeezed out much ghost energy; instead, they consume his energy and magic power, so there's no need to exterminate them all.
Before long, he used the Soul Refining Technique to extract the ghostly energy from the Rotten Wood Demon and the Cursed Doll, forming two balls of pitch-black energy that were several sizes larger than those extracted from the Pumpkin Demon.
He had no grudge against the Wood Demon, and he had left him a way out, but it would be impossible for him to recover without a year or two of quiet recuperation.
The cursed doll, which aided and abetted evil, had its soul drained and became unstable. To regain its previous strength, it would need to cultivate again on this Mount Songshen for at least ten years.
Lin Ye, mindful that Zorua's level was still low, did not give it all at once, but instead first poured one portion of energy into its body.
Sure enough, the little fox didn't absorb the pumpkin essence energy as easily as before. Instead, it showed a strained expression, baring its teeth, as if it was trying its best to digest this ghost energy.
After about two minutes, I gradually felt more relaxed, and the energy fluctuations in my body visibly increased.
Lin Ye let it rest for a while before casting the second black energy orb into it.
But perhaps because of experience, or perhaps because his foundation had become stronger, he only took a little over a minute to digest the second burst of energy this time.
Although the process wasn't exactly easy, he didn't appear to be struggling at all.
Having absorbed these two streams of pure ghostly energy, Soroya's aura naturally surged dramatically. Under Lin Ye's mental observation, the undead aura it emitted was much more solid and profound than before.
If it were to cultivate on its own, this advancement would be equivalent to at least several months of hard work.
Afterwards, he carefully put away the Poké Balls he found on the man, but after looking around, he only kept one giant pumpkin.
This guy's enormous size is truly rare. Even if he doesn't catch it himself, he could be traded for a very considerable amount of resources by a collector of rare Pokémon.
After everything was arranged, Lin Ye called to Zoroya to head in the direction the man had indicated.
Although he didn't quite believe it, he was going to stay there for a while anyway, so going there wouldn't hurt.
But as he walked through the ghostly mist, he discovered that ghostly Pokémon were almost extinct in the vicinity. Moreover, as he got closer and closer to the direction the man pointed, the necromancy within him felt more and more like something good was attracting him.
