Chapter 64: The emperor’s ambition is to destroy the monsters in the cave (page 12)
Throwing the monster's head aside, Bourne walked straight to the cave she pointed out, which was not far from the place where the monster was executed.
She almost escaped into her lair.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a large stone and covered with winding vines. It was indeed difficult to tell anything from the outside.
"Open Sesame!" He tried the unlocking spell that was different from "Open the Alaho Hole" that Professor McGonagall taught in the club today.
As if being pulled by some invisible hands, the vines covering the rock were torn to pieces in an instant.
The rock trembled twice, and then flew out of the hole like an oak cork on a wine bottle, fell to the hillside, and rolled down the hillside.
As the outside air re-entered, the stinky gas accumulated in the cave also found a new outlet, and soon floated out of the cave.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Bourne's eyes.
This smell... was 100% the smell of corpses, and he was even sure that those corpses must belong to humans.
Looking back at the monster he had decapitated, and staring into the monster's dead eyes, Bourne couldn't help but whisper: "You really didn't die unjustly."
In the eyes of the loyal Astartes, aliens and heretics are guilty of original sin, and if they dare to slaughter humans, they are even more heinous, and death will not be a pity.
"Lumos!" Summoning a ball of light with his wand, Bourne immediately walked into the cave.
He estimated that this cave should have been a habitat for wild brown bears. Although there were no wild bears in the British Isles after about the 12th century, due to the active isolation of wizards from Muggles, there may still be wild brown bears surviving around some places where wizards gather.
When he was taken to visit the Forbidden Forest in the morning, Hagrid told him that in addition to magical animals, there were also some ordinary animals living in the Forbidden Forest.
However, with those magical animals as companions, even the brown bear at the top of the food chain sometimes has to give in and admit defeat.
That’s why they chose their cave on a small hill far away from the forest (food source).
As a result, as soon as Madeleine arrived, she drove away the brown bears that lived here, and Jiuzhan Magpie Nest regarded this place as her foothold.
In addition to the traces of life left by the original "owner", Bourne also saw the trap Madeline had prepared for him - seven zombies half-buried in the ground, with only half of their bodies exposed.
Zombies are not inferi.
The latter are undead controlled by the summons of black magic. They are lifeless, soulless and thoughtless, afraid of fire and light, and like darkness and dampness, just like the walking dead.
The zombie is a kind of black magic creature with a "short life cycle", or it can be said to be a biological alchemy product. Their raw materials are ordinary people who have died, and then they are soaked with magic potions by wizards to give them mobility again.
Making zombies is a traditional magic practiced by African wizards, and this technology was not divided into good and evil at first.
However, some evil dark wizards later chose to kill Muggles directly with poisonous potions, and then used the poison spread throughout the corpses to complete the production of zombies - also euphemistically called "Voodoo Zombies" , in fact, it is just to control costs, which can be said to be the ultimate black heart...
Although they have no mind or soul like the Inferi, zombies are not afraid of fire and light. The only problem is that they will rot over time and turn back into corpses. Therefore, due to the limited shelf life, zombies can generally only be "used first".
At this time, the zombies in this cave are still inactive. Bourne checked the clothes of these poor people and found that they should all be Muggle wanderers. Moreover, their bodies were shriveled up unnaturally, and there were obvious bite marks on the neck arteries.
That monster is a vampire! However, Bourne added in his mind: At least before turning into a monster...
After thinking about it, he decided to report the whole thing to Dumbledore instead of burning the place directly.
Although if he does this, he may receive some criticism - for example, why is he so cruel at such a young age?
At the same time, he may also face many questions - for example, how could you do such a cruel thing at such a young age?
However, Bourne still wanted to give these poor people some final dignity. Even if most of them are homeless, not only wizards, but even their Muggle monarchs will not care too much about their deaths.
"You don't care, but I care, and the great Emperor cares too!" Bourne said to himself in his heart.
And when his idea just came up, the "lighting spell" suspended on the scepter seemed to be affected. Not only did the lumens increase dramatically, the lighting spell became brighter, but even the light emitted changed from cold fluorescence to a warm beam of light.
The illuminating spell illuminated the entire cave, bathing it in light. Bourne could not help but empathize with him and recited a prayer that impressed him:
"The Candle Emperor's will will destroy the monsters in the cave!"
As if in response to these words, all the zombies swept by the light trembled slightly, and a hazy gray mist continued to escape from their bodies. In the holy light, these gray mist gradually disappeared without a trace, seeming to be purified. However, unlike this situation, which was like ice and snow melting under the warm sun, there was a violent reaction like a burning fire cooking oil when one place in the cave was illuminated by light.
It was a women's suitcase. At this time, under the holy light, it began to spontaneously ignite.
When the leather on the surface of the suitcase was burned through, accompanied by a burning smell caused by burnt protein, Bourne actually smelled another smell, a familiar smell that made him extremely disgusted——
The smell of demons in death.
Scenes suddenly appeared in Bourne's mind. At that time, he continued to kill in the subspace, bringing final and eternal death to these guys who were difficult to completely eliminate (usually could only be expelled) in the material world.
Whenever a Daemon is slain in the Warp, their body and soul quickly disintegrate and reintegrate into the essence of the Warp.
At that time, Bourne always smelled a special smell. Although the smell he smelled at this time was slightly different from the smell emitted when the devil died, this familiarity still made his nerves alert as if an electric current had passed through. However, despite being vigilant, he was actually a little bit...excited.
With chainsword and scepter in hand, Bourne walked towards the burning flame.
As the scepter emitting holy light continued to approach, the flames burned more intensely.
The contents of the suitcase: a change of women's clothes, a notebook, several thick magic books, and three or four reagent bottles filled with red liquid... At this time, they also began to burn with the flames.
Everything looks normal.
But this normality itself is very abnormal.
Bourne is ready to use psychic lightning (all petrified) to give any "old friend" who may show up a familiar blow at any time.
As for the chain sword, although it had just drunk the monster's blood, it was so loyal that it would never mind taking a demon as a snack after the meal - and besides, that meal was a main meal, it's still unclear - For its enemies, its hunger can never be satiated.
