Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 75: Sixty-three Mom… Mom…

This was destined to be an unfair battle.

On one side, clad in impeccable attire, surrounded by Demon Worms like an army.

While on the other, half of his body was soaked in blood, standing was a struggle, it seemed less a fight and more a march to death.

Yet, against all odds, he stood resolutely, even attempting to stand as straight as a spear, as if to defy the throngs of the enemy.

Corey nodded slightly, both as a salute and an indication—let the game begin.

The commanded Demon Worms immediately swooped towards Ulu, nearly engulfing him in an instant, their number threatening to blot out the sun.

Left with no choice, Ulu snapped his fingers again, and the Demon Worms disintegrated into black dust, scattering downwards, but before hitting the ground, they reformed into new Demon Worms.

“The ‘Rule’ sealed in this finger is indeed powerful,” Corey’s voice came from behind the Demon Worms, considerably louder than before as he approached, “In a battle of equals, one unforeseen ‘Termination’ could decide the outcome… But it’s a pity, we are not equals.”

As Corey finished speaking, the reconstituted insects charged once more towards Ulu.

Ulu had to use ‘Magic Chains’, chains emerging from the ground to bind wave after wave of Demon Worms. Under Bai Wei’s influence, Ulu’s ‘Magic Chains’ and ‘Fog Barrier Karma Fire’ had already reached a level of mastery. So the instantaneously growing chains, in terms of numbers, weren’t much fewer than the Demon Worms, and thus he defended against the attack.

But Ulu knew this was only temporary.

As a Rhein bishop, Corey’s Magic Power reserves were in a completely different league. Corey could create Demon Worms infinitely, but Ulu couldn’t infinitely produce Magic Chains.

Therefore, he couldn’t afford to defend passively; he had to attack proactively.

Use ‘Magic Chains’ for defense, and ‘Fog Barrier Karma Fire’ for offense.

With this in mind, Ulu defended and simultaneously produced a mist to spread towards Corey.

According to Corey, he could not use any spells other than ‘Insect Control Technique’, which naturally included Spell Shields, so Ulu’s ‘Fog Barrier Karma Fire’ should be able to harm Corey. And knowing that Corey’s eye could clearly see the flow of spells, Ulu no longer needed to take a roundabout approach, launching a direct attack. The mist instantly enveloped Corey.

Success!

Just as Ulu was about to detonate, he noticed two insects at Corey’s feet suddenly sprang up, their small bodies expanding several times over—they directly inhaled the white mist into themselves!

Realizing something was wrong, Ulu detonated the mist immediately, only to hear a soft “pop”. The two insects’ bodies burst open, but the explosion resembled that of a popped balloon, completely lacking in lethality.

Following that, Corey stepped over their shattered bodies, continuing his advance towards Ulu.

Ulu was startled by the scene; he didn’t remember ‘Insect Control Technique’ having such capabilities.

During this brief moment of shock, two worms broke through his chain defense—one bit into his flesh, tearing off a large chunk, while the other darted straight for his neck.

With a “snap.”

Another snap of the fingers, and the worm about to bite Ulu’s neck, along with all the other Demon Worms, turned to ash and vanished.

But this annihilation lasted less than two seconds before they reformed and charged at Ulu again.

Ulu had no chance to breathe, resorting once more to ‘Magic Chains’ for defense.

Now, though, it was much harder than before, not just because of his wounds, but also because of the backlash from ‘Termination’.

Even though Bai Wei had promised to mitigate the cost of ‘Termination’, it was not eliminated, and tonight Ulu had snapped his fingers three times. The side effects of that immense power still threatened to tear his soul apart.

“You’ve exceeded my expectations,” Corey’s voice came again, now even closer, “to use ‘Termination’ three times consecutively… you indeed possess a willpower not found in ordinary men. But, you probably can’t make it for a fourth.”

Ulu suddenly looked up, only to see Corey was almost within reach.

“What can you do now?”

Corey asked with a smile, and then took another step forward; Ulu could see his own disheveled reflection on the blade of the small knife in Corey’s hand.

“Your body might withstand one more snap,” Bai Wei’s voice echoed in Ulu’s mind, “just one more.”

Ulu looked at the encroaching Demon Worms about to breach the defense and pursed his lips, whispering, “Enough.”

With that, Ulu dropped all his ‘Magic Chains’.

For a moment, all the Demon Worms descended, these supposedly mindless demons briefly stunned by the sudden disappearance of the barriers. But they quickly regained their senses and pounced on Ulu.

Ulu dropped all defenses, stretching out his hand toward Corey with all his remaining Magic Power, creating white mist.

“Pfft,” “pfft,” “pfff,”

One by one, the insects climbed onto his body, tearing at his flesh and gnawing at his bones.

But Ulu merely raised his hand, driving all the mist towards Corey.
