Chapter 208 - Blood-Stained Bandages
Chapter 208: Blood-Stained Bandages
If it wasn’t for the hint from the Eternal Flower Register,
even Jerry wouldn’t know that there was a crystal hidden in the wall of the entrance.
Looking at the crystal in his hand that was emitting a faint light, he felt the rich spiritual essence within.
To Jerry, this wasn’t a maze full of dangers,
this was a maze full of rewards.
However, things weren’t as simple as Jerry thought,
at this moment, footsteps came from the alley beside them,
before they could see who the owner of the footsteps was, they could already smell an extremely unpleasant stench.
Without a doubt, the person who came this time was definitely not a trial-taker.
Athena and Alice were on guard as they stared at the entrance of the alley beside them.
A figure covered in bandages slowly appeared in front of them,
“Mummy??”
Seeing the figure covered in bandages, Jerry immediately thought of the mummy described on earth.
However, upon closer inspection, he realized that it wasn’t.
The bandages and the figure in it weren’t alone,
when he moved closer to the bandages, he could clearly see that the figure covered in bandages wasn’t a corpse,
instead, it was a living person and a King of the Gods,
however, this King of the Gods current situation was not much better than being dead.
Half of his face had completely rotted away, and his eyes revealed endless pain and despair.
At this moment, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the bandage wrapped around him seemed to have its own consciousness,
the moment he opened his mouth, the bandage scrambled to enter his mouth,
although that person did not make a sound, seeing his expression,
Jerry also understood what he meant. It was a look of relief.
Through the Eternal Flower Register, Jerry also knew what was going on,
all of this was because of the blood-stained bandage that wrapped around the King of the Gods.
It was obvious that this bandage was the ultimate protection set up by the mausoleum,
those who were wrapped by the bandage would be forced to become the guardians of this mausoleum,
unable to break free.
Jerry casually threw the crystals in his hand directly at Athena behind him,
and made them step back. This bandage was unlike the vine that had not yet been awakened.
There was no doubt that this bandage had completely awoken from its slumber,
once it came into contact with it, it would immediately be possessed by the bandage,
it was completely controlled by the bandage,
and now, it had even directly controlled a King of Gods,
the difficulty of dealing with it had skyrocketed,
if it wasn’t for the Eternal Flower Register showing the weakness of this bandage,
he would probably have died right here.
The bandage controlled the King of Gods inside to slowly approach Jerry,
when they were at a certain distance, only the “swish swish” sounds could be heard,
the two bandages were like sharp swords, heading straight for Jerry,
however, Jerry did not dodge, as if the bandages in front of him did not exist at all,
even so, the bandages did not touch Jerry’s body.
With a closer look, one could see that the space between the bandages and Jerry seemed to be heavily folded together.
According to the Eternal Flower Register, even the divine power of a tier 5 King of the Gods could not destroy the bandage,
however, the bandage had a weakness, which was that it did not have a complete consciousness,
it only acted on instinct,
and its instinct was to choose a better target to attach to.
Obviously, compared to the King of the Gods whose body had been corrupted by the bandage,
Jerry’s body was more in line with its requirements, so it naturally targeted Jerry.
However, the bandage could not sense that the space in front of Jerry had been folded up layer by layer. It just wanted to directly wrap Jerry up and become a new object of attachment.
However, the length of the bandage was not unlimited,
as more and more bandages fell into the folded space,
the bandages wrapped around the King’s body disappeared slowly, gradually revealing the King of the Gods’ original appearance.
Most of the King’s body had already rotted and died. He had originally reached the King of the Gods realm,
even if there was only a drop of blood left, he could be reborn. However, after being wrapped by the bandage, the wounds on the King of the Gods’ body did not show any signs of healing.
Instead, they gradually rotted and died at an even more terrifying speed,
they turned into puddles of thick water that emitted a strange stench.
Jerry completely sealed the space in front of him and folded it into a palm-sized space,
he locked the blood-stained bandage inside,
in fact, in this palm-sized space, the bandage was still trying to wrap around Jerry,
but what it didn’t know was that after the space was folded, it would never be able to cover this short distance.
After completely controlling the strange bandage, Jerry then turned his gaze to the King of the Gods with only half his body left.
Not only was this King’s body already dead, even his godhead had been contaminated by the bandage and was slowly beginning to rot.
Jerry knew that this King of the Gods was completely beyond salvation and would soon turn into a puddle of thick water.
“Who are you? Why did you become like this?” Jerry asked slowly.
The King of the Gods glanced at Jerry with his remaining eyeballs,
And said slowly, “I am a subordinate of the Amon dynasty — Raqham. After entering here, I encountered these strange bandages and was completely annihilated! Only our king escaped.”
Jerry’s expression turned ugly when he heard that.
Completely wiped out? That meant that there were other things wrapped in bandages nearby.
“Raqham, do you have any last words?”
He slowly shook his head.
He revealed a relieved expression and finally said, “Thank you!!”
After that, he became quiet and only a puddle of thick water was left.
Seeing that a King of the Gods had ended up in such a situation, Jerry let out a sigh,
in the Empire Era, a King of the Gods could be said to be the top fighting force,
however, in this place, it rendered powerless by a blood-stained bandage.
And this was only the first level of the endless tower,
no wonder it was said that a newcomer would’ve done well if they could survive after entering.
Although Jerry had relied on the hints given by the Eternal Flower Register to resolve this blood-stained bandage,
he was unable to destroy the bandage and could only trap it.
This was because this bandage could absorb divine power just like the vines on the wall,
this was also why when Athena saw the figure wrapped in this bandage, she subconsciously wanted to attack, but was stopped by Jerry.
A reckless attack would not only cause zero damage to the blood-stained bandage,
it would also increase the strength of the bandage and make her its target.
The best way to fight the bandage was to keep a distance from it,
not use divine power lightly, lest it wake up the bandage from its slumber,
seeing that Jerry had taken care of the monster, Athena and Alice slowly caught up from behind.
“Let’s go!” Jerry turned around and left,
there was nothing here except the water of corpses and the rotten smell that permeated the entire passage.
