"No, no, no!" When those skeletons bared their teeth and claws and rushed toward me, I was really frightened. Moreover, at this moment, I could hardly move. With a little force, my shattered shoulder blades would be unbearable. Severe pain entered my body.
Fortunately, I have to say fortunately, Doug Dallas jumped over, and his whirring giant ax cut off the front skeleton directly at the waist. Then, he grabbed my arm and dragged me behind without any explanation. When he threw me down, I almost cried in pain, "Oh my god..."
"Gragla la la la -" The skeleton over there that was cut into two parts was still crawling towards us with his hands without giving up. His mandible was opening and closing constantly, as if he was using the most vicious language. Cursing us.
"My merciful Lord of Death, grant it death in your name!" Varimathras muttered in a low voice. Suddenly, a ball of shadow energy that was colder than death and hotter than lava emerged from his hand. It flew out and landed directly on the top of the skull, instantly burning him to the point of screaming.
"The merciful Lord of Death..." The sound of mantras continued, and the shadow energy almost formed a wall of fire, separating the pale skeletons, "Doug Dallas! Pick her up! Come on..." Varimathras took the time to shout, but before he could finish his words, it turned into a sour gasp, "Oh my God!"
Following his gaze, I saw dozens of skeletons standing above the tomb, on the edge of the collapsed stone wall. They stared blankly at us, with the two white masses in their empty eye sockets. The blue flames flickered on and off.
"You have to get up and help me, little mouse." Varimathras took a few steps back and knelt on one knee beside me.
"Do you have... any magical medicine? I'm in pain..."
"Are you kidding? The potion can't make you stand up right now." He stared at the skeletons, the evil fire in his eyes flowing secretly, "What's in the sky?"
Sky?
I squinted my eyes and looked over. In the pale sky, apart from the flying snowflakes and the gray mist mixed in, what else was there?
"Nothing..." Before I could finish my words, I felt Varimathras drop something into my mouth. I didn't have time to shut up and swallowed it all at once. I felt like I had swallowed a ball of lava, and my mouth, throat, and lungs were instantly burned. Then, the fire swam into my blood vessels. It was visible to the naked eye. It swelled up my skin and moved around underneath. For a moment, I felt like I was going to be cut open!
"Oh!" I hugged my shoulders tightly and curled up into a ball. Cold sweat flowed down the corners of my eyes drop by drop. "It's... what is it?! Give me... um---" before I could say anything. After he finished, he stuffed another lump of sticky, foul-smelling stuff into my mouth. His fingers directly pushed the lump into my throat, forcing me to swallow it again.
"Ugh--" I pushed him away and covered my mouth to spit it out.
"If you spit it out, you will be burned to ashes!" Varimathras shook my shoulders hard and growled, "Swallow it!"
I stared at my eyes that seemed to be burning and swallowed the disgusting thing.
With a breath, something extremely cold seemed to rush into my blood vessels, instantly surrounding the lava.
I took a deep breath that seemed to be filled with fire and shivered.
"Get up! Get up!" Varimathras' hand stretched out to my shoulder. The action scared me so much that I almost screamed. However, when his fingers pinched my wound tightly, I suddenly I found that I didn’t feel any pain at all.
I stood up with his strength, and I found that the severe pain in my body disappeared without a trace. Subconsciously, I raised my arm, and I could clearly feel the broken bones in my shoulder blades, but... There was no pain at all, and I even felt that my arms were lighter than ever.
"How?! What's going on?!"
"It's my blood!" Varimathras pointed not far away and shouted, "Your toy is over there! Little mouse! Pick it up, we have to kill those dead people!"
I looked at the dagger that was almost sold by Snowflake, and then at the two bottles of blue potion in his belt. After a pause, I lifted up the thick cloak and turned around. In an instant, I had succeeded, and in the next second, I quickly jumped to Sally's side who was lying in the corner.
Varimathras glanced at me and said nothing. Instead, he stared at the skeletons that came out of the shadows and began to recite the incantation seriously, "Great Lord of Shadows, I offer you my contribution." Sacrifice..." The evil fire shone in his eyes, and a bright fire appeared in his palm, "Doug Dallas, you have to stop them!"
"Oh! Doug Dallas's giant ax is horny!"
I bit open the wooden cork and poured the potion between her eyebrows. Then, I poured the other bottle on Stephen's forehead. I looked at them expectantly, but half a minute passed and they showed no sign of waking up! I immediately lay on Shali's chest and listened carefully. Although it was very slow, her heart was still beating.
