The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 16 The Unique Sword Sheath

The broadsword was raised and unleashed by the skeleton warrior, aimed straight at Lin Ye's back!

Even more bizarrely, the moment the broadsword left his hand, a thick, inky shadow suddenly spread across its blade, enveloping the entire sword and transforming it into an astonishingly fast, pitch-black shadow.

Lin Ye had anticipated this move and was multitasking, using his mental energy to lock onto the skeleton warrior and transmit his voice to Zoroya.

The moment the broadsword was unleashed, Zoroia also transformed into a shadow. The speed boost from the "Shadow Sneak" move allowed it to precisely intercept the shadow's flight path!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Zoroya's "Shadow Sneak Attack" struck the dark energy formed by the flying sword squarely, producing a hissing sound.

The flying sword was deflected by the sudden impact, returned to its original shape, spun around in the air, and then flew back into the skeleton warrior's hand.

Soraya was also thrown off by the recoil, skillfully tumbling in the air to dissipate the force before landing steadily.

When its first attack missed, its previously still skeletal body began to make a teeth-grinding grinding sound, and it actually started to move and charge towards Lin Ye!

Its movements were somewhat stiff at first, but quickly became swift and powerful, with the clanging of its rusted armor ringing out, creating an astonishing effect!

"It's definitely not an ordinary skeleton, but it's not a Pokémon either. Could it be that other undead creatures exist in the Pokémon world?"

Although Lin Ye was momentarily confused, he was prepared. He chanted obscure incantations, formed hand seals with his fingers pointing forward, and unleashed the Soul Binding Technique with all his might!

"Click~~"

The skull's forward momentum abruptly halted, its bones creaking under the strain as if struggling.

Soul Binding, a binding spell specifically designed for undead creatures, remains remarkably effective against the ghost Pokémon and the mysterious skeleton before us.

Taking advantage of the skeleton's restraint, Zorua, transformed into a shadow, smashed the skeleton warrior to pieces with a single blow, scattering countless fragments of bone, broken armor, and broadsword.

But before Lin Ye could even breathe a sigh of relief, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded!

The broadsword that had fallen to the ground emitted a deep hum, its blade trembled violently, and it flew up on its own, piercing straight at Lin Ye.

"So you're the one who's really there!"

Lin Ye had some suspicions before, so when he cast the Soul Binding Technique on the skeleton just now, he only used half of his accumulated magic power.

At this moment, seeing the broadsword activate on its own, he immediately realized that it was just playing tricks. He immediately released all his remaining magic power and stopped the broadsword that was shooting towards him!

Only then did Lin Ye see the true nature of this broadsword: it was a single scabbard with eyes and a mouth growing out of the blade!

However, compared to the single-edged sword sheaths he knew, the single-edged sword sheath he had frozen in front of him not only had a scarlet mouth and eyes, but even the ribbons were red and purple, clearly making it a uniquely colored single-edged sword sheath!

Although this heterochromatic scabbard is only in its initial form, its level is not low, almost the same as the previous Cursed Doll and Rotten Wood Demon.

Lin Ye's magic, though only half full, was not enough to completely suppress the sword. The sword sheath struggled to break free of its restraints, and with a smooth turn, it was about to strike down on Lin Ye's head.

But at that moment, Zoroya had already turned back, his claws gathering dark energy, which he then released and wrapped around the scabbard.

The latter knew he had to deal with the fox in front of him first, so he transformed into a shadow and turned to fight Zoroah first.

However, the Shadow Sword passed right through Zoroah, and before it could react, the ghostly energy of "retribution" enveloped it.

"Clang~~"

The sword sheath roared angrily: "Shameless tomb raiders, how dare you trespass on my king's tomb! As the head of the king's personal guard, I will not allow you to act so recklessly here."

Seeing that the ghost's moves were ineffective, it painfully changed its attack after shouting, its sword wrapped in silvery light, and slashed at Zoroa again.

This time, the sword sheath used the Normal-type move "Slash," and unsurprisingly, it missed.

At the same time, Zoroya's second "An Eye for an Eye" attack struck the scabbard again, and even though its energy level was stronger, it couldn't withstand such damage.

Moreover, although he was a tough Steel-type, his stats were more inclined towards physical attack and physical defense. After being hit by two special attacks in a row, he fell to the ground with a "clang".

The single-blade sheath is rare even in Ghost Pokémon, let alone a rare shiny one. Lin Ye had no reason not to accept it and put it into a Poké Ball without hesitation.

However, Lin Ye found it somewhat strange that Du Jiancha claimed to be the king's personal guard.

It is unknown whether the lost coffins came to possess human nature, but they proclaimed themselves kings and even established official positions for their subordinates.

Or perhaps the soul of this single sword sheath was originally a guard of the tomb's owner, who was buried here and became a spirit over time.

But there was no time to think anymore. Since he hadn't defeated Dujianshe immediately, the two fought for a while.

The commotion attracted the attention of other ghost Pokémon in the tomb, and they began to converge in this direction.

Lin Ye was worried about being surrounded, and even more worried that the "professional" coffin-snatching beast would return, so he only took the most valuable burial items that were nearby and planned to make a run for it.

But just as he was about to leave, his mental energy detected a pure ghost-attribute energy fluctuation in the place.

Lin Ye quickly activated his senses, and the power of necromancy immediately detected a familiar energy, pointing towards the armor of the skeleton warrior from before.

Zorua had easily smashed it to pieces and cracked part of its armor, but the upper part remained intact and was now emanating a chilling aura.

"Great! I didn't expect that the armor the skeleton was wearing also contained ghost energy."

No wonder the sword sheath wasn't spotted immediately; it seems the energy on the armor was mixed with its own.

Lin Ye accepted the rusty armor and left, but a number of ghost Pokémon had already gathered outside the cave, and the giant pumpkin spirit had already been ganged up on.

Fortunately, these ghost legs were all weak and lacked the strength of elite soldiers like the Sword Sheath, and they were not very good at any other powerful moves besides Ghost-type.

In an instant, relying on his immunity to Ghost attacks, Zoroah charged into the enemy ranks like a mad dog, slaughtering indiscriminately.

With necromancy and the help of a giant pumpkin spirit, Lin Ye and the two ghosts quickly cut through the tomb guards who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and soon returned to the tomb entrance.

The other Pokémon in the tomb hesitated to pursue Zorua because they were afraid of him, and finally watched helplessly as Lin Ye and his group ran out of the tomb.

Upon re-exposing himself to the fresh, albeit still chilly, air outside, Lin Ye's expression suddenly changed before he could even catch his breath!

He turned his head sharply and looked into the depths of the thick fog to the southeast, where the "cursed symbol" had been located!

A massive, chilling energy wave, filled with the aura of decaying coffins and a violent, furious intent, is hurtling toward this place at an astonishing speed!

"Oh no! Die Shi Guan seems to have sensed the trouble at home and is heading this way! Quick, let's go!"
