Who hid My Corpse! Chapter 78 – Chapter 78: Sixty–four Descends

Chapter 78: Sixty-four Descends

“Drip,” “drip.”

Blood ceaselessly flowed from those empty eye sockets, overflowing between the fingers, sliding down the arm, and finally falling onto the pristine stone tiles, splashing into one blood blossom after another.

“So…”

Corey, originally half-kneeling on the ground, slowly rose to his feet. As he straightened, the bleeding in his left eye had already stopped, surrounded by a halo of holy light, a symbol of “Divine Blessing”. It had been a long time since he had entered this state. After obtaining that eye, no one had forced him to call upon the power of the great Rhein God again.

But today, that person appeared.

“What on earth are you?” Corey asked slowly.

“Ulu” stood ten meters away, his body covered in wounds that were countless times more severe than Corey's. By all logic, in his current state, he shouldn't have been able to remain standing.

Yet at this moment, the wounds all over his body were closing and healing at a visibly rapid rate. However, this didn't seem to be the result of Healing System or Life Series spells. It was more like pushing the body's potential to the extreme, momentarily increasing its self-healing ability by thousands of times.

His blood coursed through his veins at high speed, like boiling water, almost bursting every blood vessel, causing his entire body to turn a deep shade of red.

At this moment, “Ulu” looked like a bug that had set itself aflame. But he wasn't contorted or wriggling; he just stood there quietly, gazing at Corey with an eye as resolute as the stars above.

This also put a considerable amount of pressure on Corey. Up until now, he didn't understand how the other party had managed to precisely locate him within “Divine Skill·Extreme Darkness”. Logically, besides that eye, no power in this world should be able to penetrate that darkness.

How did he do it?

Unless…

Corey narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, the other party spoke: “Are you afraid of me?”

“Afraid? Why would I fear you?” Corey replied coolly. “I am one of the four bishops of Rhein, and you are but a monster that can't show its face, hiding in the body of a weakling.”

“Really?” Bai Wei laughed. “And yet, your hands are trembling.”

Corey's eyes focused for a brief moment. He involuntarily looked down at his own hands.

Indeed, his hands were trembling slightly.

But this wasn't due to injury. After entering “Divine Blessing”, minor injuries couldn't affect him.

His fear stemmed from a fleeting conjecture that had crossed his mind earlier.

When that conjecture emerged, his mind hadn't yet realized it, but his body had already reacted.

“It seems you've guessed who I am,” Bai Wei said with a smile.

Corey had already stopped his hands from shaking. He acted as if nothing had happened, remaining calm, “Impossible. That thing couldn't possibly still be in this world. Stop pretending.”

“Is that so? That's too bad,” Bai Wei remarked. “I thought that with this eye, you could see a bit further.”

“Such low-level wordplay won't work on me,” Corey said. “I've told you, I am one of the four bishops of Rhein; you can't deceive me.”

“Believe what you will,” Bai Wei said, slowly raising his hand toward his left eye, “This fellow made a deal with me; he ignited his soul to let me descend here, to retrieve something of his own, and what I have to do for him…”

Bai Wei paused, a flash of an unusual emotion crossing his eyes, a mix of regret and helplessness.

“Kill you before his soul burns out.”

The moment his words dropped, the entire Great Cathedral began to shake.

Corey's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

He saw behind Bai Wei, a black wave rising rapidly.

But it wasn't a wave.

It was countless intertwined… Magic Chains.

Corey had never seen such a method of use before. “Magic Chains” were nothing but low-rank spells, barely inflicting any damage, apart from some control.

But what if the scale were this massive?

While Corey stood there stunned, the massive flood of Magic Chains devoured him in an instant, like the ocean swallowing a solitary leaf of a boat.

Bai Wei quietly watched from the side, feeling the power that continuously surged from his body, along with his soul that was dissipating without end.

This was the Second Order Descent. Unlike the First Order Descent, the Second Order Descent could unleash the power beyond the “Rule” contained in the Corpse Blocks, embodying Visas in entirety.

The First Order Descent damaged the body,

While the Second Order Descent consumed the soul.

Physical wounds can be healed, but the burning of the soul cannot be reversed; once ignited,

It can only end when it has completely burned out.

…

“Great Priest!” a Knight rushed to Herry's side, “There seems to be quite a commotion coming from the Great Cathedral.”

Herry, the Great Priest, frowned as he looked towards the distant Great Cathedral.

He had felt the trembling just now.

But it made no sense, shouldn't Corey's guest arrive at nine o'clock?

Herry checked the time; it had just passed eight.

Had the guest arrived early, or… had that “person” come?

But no matter which it was, theoretically, neither should cause such a stir from Corey, right?

“Great Priest, do we need to check the situation?” asked the Knight.

“…No.” After pondering for a moment, Herry shook his head, “No need, the Lord Bishop will handle it.”

…

Bang!

A sphere of pure white barrier centered around Corey was released, instantly cutting off the black flood made of Magic Chains and continuously spreading outwards.

“Divine Skill·Blessed Land.”

“You're just trying to scare people!” Corey roared at Bai Wei, “The body of God cannot be harmed by mortals, God's spells cannot be stopped by mortals, God's will cannot be influenced by mortals! No matter what kind of being you are, with only this level of strength, you are absolutely incapable of overcoming me…”

Before he could finish, Corey saw Bai Wei snap his fingers.

His Blessed Land was instantly dispelled.

Those ferocious chains once again closed in on him.

Is this a slight?!

Corey felt both anger and disdain.

At this distance, using “Termination,” he had ample time to deploy a second Blessed Land.

But as he spread his hands, intending to release the divine power once more, he suddenly froze.

How to use the Blessed Land again?

His eyes gradually widened.

That wasn't just a “Termination”!

Because that Divine Skill had completely vanished from his memory.

“Thrust,” “thrust,” “thrust.”

Hundreds of chains pierced his body simultaneously, just like the insects that gnawed at Ulu's body twenty minutes earlier.
