Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 109 Entering the Yellow Bone Realm

After the mark appeared, Agreed immediately threatened, "I have placed a curse on you. If you find the dragon's tomb but do not tell me, the curse will be activated and take your life. If you find it, drip your own blood onto the curse, and I will be able to sense it and will contact you to remove the curse."

Although the tomb raider was unwilling, he could only express his gratitude profusely, saying, "Thank you for sparing my life, senior. I will now set off to find a burial site for you. See you later."

But just as he was about to leave, Agreed called out again.

"Come back and finish robbing this tomb, otherwise you won't be able to complete the mission, which will also affect my plans."

Upon hearing this, the tomb raider exclaimed, "Wow, what a stroke of luck!" Overjoyed, he turned around and said, "Thank you, senior. Please step back a couple of steps so I can break through the trap ahead."

Agreed waved his hand and said, "No need. Follow me, and take whatever you want except the skeleton." With that, lightning appeared in Agreed's palm, instantly destroying all the mechanisms and doors in front of him. At the same time, this action also alerted the ghouls in the tomb. With the mechanisms destroyed, all the ghouls were released. From the physical characteristics of these ghouls, it was obvious that they were artificially created. They all looked the same and had similar animal features. After seeing this scene, Agreed couldn't help but sigh that the beastmen were really good at protecting their ancestral tomb.

Upon seeing this, the tomb raiders immediately shouted in terror, "Senior, these tomb guardians are too terrifying! Let's retreat!"

Agreed turned and glanced at him, and even though he no longer had eyeballs, you could still feel his contemptuous gaze from those empty eye sockets.

Then Agreed placed his hand in front of him, releasing a necromancy spell called 'Instant Death'. All the ghouls collapsed and died instantly while running, simply because Instant Death could directly execute enemies whose soul level was below that of a Grand Mage.

Upon witnessing this scene, the tomb raiders nearby immediately clapped and cheered. At this moment, Agreed scolded him, "Remember, all fear stems from weakness and ignorance. If you knew their weaknesses and origins, or if they were simply beings you could crush at will, you wouldn't have any fear. With such little courage, you dare to raid tombs? Have you tomb raiders spent most of your lives running away from tombs?"

The tomb raider blushed instantly and retorted, "The key is, if someone had your strength, who would bother with tomb raiding?"

These words instantly embarrassed Agreed. He coughed twice unconsciously through telepathy and said, "Stop talking nonsense, take what you want and get out of here quickly."

The tomb raider nodded in agreement and then rushed into the tomb chambers, ransacking the place in a whirlwind. Afterward, he fled the orcish royal tomb in a state of fear and trepidation. Agreed watched him leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "You mustn't let me down, little guy. Whether I can advance to the Divine Bone Realm depends on you."

What Agreed didn't know was that after the tomb raider left the royal tomb, a new quest popped up on his quest panel, which read:

Ultimate Mission: Kill the undead Agreed

Quest Reward: Supreme Divine Power

Upon seeing the mission, the tomb raider immediately turned to look at the orc king's tomb, his expression gradually becoming complicated as he murmured, "Senior, don't blame me, the system has given me far too much."

Two days later

Argrede absorbed all the bones in the royal tomb. It was indeed worthy of being the tomb of the orcish royal family. In the warlike orcish empire, every emperor or king buried here had to be at least a paladin. Their superior strength allowed their bones to retain considerable energy and nutrients even after such a long time. This greatly benefited Argrede, allowing him to significantly enhance his strength.

Immediately afterwards, the stone gate at the entrance of the royal tomb opened again, and a yellowish-brown skeleton walked out of the royal tomb with an indifferent gait, mounted a wraith, and galloped into the distance. By the time the Orc Empire discovered that its ancestral tomb and its crown prince had been murdered, Agred had already left the territory of the Orc Empire.

On a barren land, Agreed sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Soul Vortex, which he had not touched for a long time. This time, Agreed did not proceed slowly as before, but directly and violently absorbed it, because his body was now much stronger than his soul, and now that he had become an undead, his subtle control over the soul had reached an extremely terrifying level, even stronger than that of demons. Therefore, he did not need to worry about being devoured by the River Styx.

Before long, Agreed's soul power reached the level of a mage again, just one step away from the legendary mage level he had reached in his previous life. However, if he wanted to continue to improve, he had to make his physical body even stronger.

Agred then ended his cultivation and slowly stood up. With the cracking sound of his bones, Agred stretched and loosened his muscles. Then, Agred put on his mage robes to cover his entire body, mounted his undead dire wolf, and headed towards the border of the orcish empire.

At this point, Agreed had already planned his next destination. He decided that his next stop would be the dwarven kingdom of Ifiltar (in the dwarven language, Ifiltar means "creator of divine craftsmanship"). This was because the next level of Bone Forging, the Golden Bone Realm, could no longer be broken through by absorbing the bones of ordinary creatures. Without creatures like dragons or titans to absorb from, there was only one way to break through to the Golden Bone Realm.

That is to absorb the metallic elements in the earth's veins to achieve the Golden Bone Realm!

The dwarven kingdom, where people live in the mountains and deal with mineral veins all their lives, is definitely the best choice for him to advance to the Golden Bone Realm. More importantly, Agreed has a premonition that an old friend of his will definitely try his best to go there and settle down.

Agreed gazed into the distance, a mixture of anticipation and fear in his eyes, and asked, "Will you be there, Milton…?"

Four months later, Agreed finally arrived at the border of the dwarven kingdom of Ifiltal, where towering mountains stretched into the clouds.

Beneath this dome where the blue sky is never seen is a treasure formed by hundreds of millions of years of geological changes on this planet. Agreed hid the Dire Wolf at his feet in a corner, letting it fall into a deep sleep and wait for him there.

Agreed then used magic to disguise himself, since the undead are rejected by all races, and if the dwarves discovered his identity, he would definitely be attacked by the dwarven army.

Don't underestimate dwarves. Although they are only about 1.5 meters tall on average, these natural blacksmiths are all muscle and absolutely crush humans in strength. However, due to their short stature, strong bodies, and short arms, dwarves lose their agility, making them weaker than other races in head-on combat.

However, the most crucial factor is the dwarves' exceptional creativity. Their weapons, materials, and technology are always a generation ahead, making their army incredibly formidable in combat. This is why no one has ever dared to target the dwarves. Even though the dwarves possess abundant mineral resources and own millions of mines, no one would risk a deadly battle against a powerful race that can also engage in friendly trade.

Not to mention that mountains are inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack, and when you were still in the Bronze Age, the dwarves could simply pull out matchlock guns and point them at you, shouting, "My lord, times have changed!" Faced with such a revolutionary weapon advantage, who would dare to provoke these unassuming but formidable men?
