Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 337: Twenty-six Dolls
Chapter 337: Twenty-six Dolls
What’s going on here?
Daphne’s pupils shrank slightly.
Hadn’t this fellow died?
Surely her heart had stopped beating!
“Miss! Danger! Step back!”
An Attendant hastily shouted to Daphne.
Danger?
Where’s the danger?
Daphne didn’t catch on, but the Attendant standing beside her sensed something and immediately pulled Daphne back two steps. Almost simultaneously, several Magic Chains burst out of the snow like giant pythons aiming for the spot where she had stood.
If the Attendant hadn’t reacted so quickly, Daphne would have been ensnared by those chains by now.
But how could this be possible?!
Daphne’s face was filled with surprise.
Leaving aside how Hewinia had suddenly resurrected, one must know that her body was still under their control, her Magic Wand had been thrown away early on, and most of her notes and the Golden Score had been stripped from her. With such damage, it was clearly impossible to use her powers.
So without notes, the Golden Score, and the Magic Wand, how was she casting spells?!
Daphne hadn’t figured it out yet, but the four Attendants she brought with her were already making a move, lifting their Magic Wands as silver notes flickered on their skin.
“Fifth Notes Magic Cube”!
In that frantic accompaniment, several beams of Magic Power emanated from the Magic Wands of the four Attendants, interconnecting and forming a third-rank Magic Cube with “Hewinia” at the core.
At this point, Daphne had also snapped back to reality. She watched “Hewinia” trapped in the center of the Magic Cube. Despite the strong doubts in her heart about how Hewinia had come back to life and cast spells, her uncertainty was accompanied by intense unease, prompting her to make a decisive call, “Attack! Kill her first!”
The four Attendants energized their Magic Wands again.
The third-rank Magic Cube began to rotate, each rank in a different direction.
Consequently, the various parts of Hewinia’s body caught in the Magic Cube also twisted in different directions along with it.
The sound of a series of nauseatingly crunching bones echoed as “Hewinia’s” body contorted into a grotesque shape.
The “Fifth Notes Magic Cube” was part of their original plan to intercept Arianna. To ensure Arianna’s death, Daphne’s family had even sent over four core Attendants to help.
What they did not expect was that Arianna, their practice target, would not be able to leave the Church.
And now, they had to use such a powerful spell on someone who had been an Attendant for only a year.
And yet…
Watching the body twisted grotesquely out of human form in the Magic Cube, a body that by all accounts should not have been able to live, Daphne’s unease remained intense.
After all, Hewinia’s sudden Awakening had given her a tremendous mental shock.
What on earth was going on with this person?
Although the Golden Score possessed recovery abilities beyond those of ordinary people, it shouldn’t grant resurrection from death…
Before she could articulate another thought, another series of cracking sounds came from the Magic Cube.
They saw “Hewinia’s” body, previously mangled by the Magic Cube, realigning at an astonishing speed!
And it wasn’t just that – the wounds pierced by the silver threads were also healing rapidly. Consequently, the lines of blood split, allowing her to slowly fall from the heights where she had been bound.
As she descended, her body realigned, her wounds healed, and her despairing, unwilling black pupils turned back to elegance and refinement, her blood-like long hair now like a blazing flame.
How could this be possible?!
Even the four well-trained Attendants who accompanied her couldn’t help but show expressions of shock.
It was as if someone had picked up a doll from a trash bin, one that had been damaged beyond recognition for many years, and after repair had shed its tattered and untidy appearance, restored by an invisible hand to its original beautiful form fresh from the factory.
Even then… it was beyond comparison.
At least, Daphne had never felt that this person she had observed for a year, whether in his disguised form or his true appearance, had ever been as dazzling… and as terrifying as he was now.
Yes, she was afraid.
Even more so than when she had faced Hewinia herself in the past.
“What exactly are you…” Daphne couldn’t maintain her previous composure, her voice trembling as she spoke, “What kind of thing are you?”
“Hewinia” did not answer her, but instead seemed interested in her own body, muttering to herself as if the people in front of her did not exist.
“This body is even more exceptional than I imagined, truly befitting the Golden Score everyone desires,” “Hewinia” slowly clenched her fist, then said with a smile, “Good thing, it’s mine now.”
The four Players brought by Daphne exchanged glances.
Although they didn’t know what exactly had happened, it was clear that Hewinia was no longer the same person as before, and their instincts told them that the Hewinia now… was very dangerous.
And for that very reason, they could not delay.
She had not yet picked up her Magic Wand!
After exchanging silent looks, the four Players immediately sprang into action. Two of them stood in front of Daphne, and the other two charged at “Hewinia.”
The two Players in front of Daphne were there not only to protect her but also to be able to use their ultimate trump card.
Yes, the Five Sounds Magic Cube was not their most powerful Spell. They could also cast the Six Notes Spell, but that had a flaw—it required a longer preparation time.
Originally they didn’t intend to use this Spell, but the current “Hewinia” brought them such an intense sense of crisis that they decided to go all out without hesitation.
The two Players were responsible for holding back “Hewinia,” preventing her from picking up the Magic Wand, although she had already cast a Spell without relying on the wand earlier, which should have been a special case. As long as she was a Player, she needed to follow the rule that neither notes nor wand could be missing.
Of course, holding back did not mean just passively fighting to waste time, and they also had coordination, quickly forming a front-and-back formation.
The Player at the back applied a Spell called “Growth” to the Player in front, and the front Player’s body quickly swelled up like a balloon being inflated.
Then the front Player cast a Spell called “Blessing” on himself, enveloping himself in a half-meter diameter Magic Barrier.
Inside the barrier, he could be greatly immune to magic damage and control.
Only fists could take effect.
So, he threw a punch at “Hewinia.”
He did not believe that this doll-like body could withstand such a direct physical attack… normal Players couldn’t either.
But.
With a “puff,”
“Hewinia’s” dainty hand effortlessly stopped his enhanced fist.
His eyes widened in shock, not understanding what had happened before he heard a roaring sound by his ear.
Like a machine bellowing.
The next second, his right arm, which he had swung out, was “plucked” off effortlessly.
The ease of that action.
As if he were the doll.
But in stark contrast to that ease, was an even more gruesome sight; the blood that spurted out dyed half of “Hewinia’s” body a bloody crimson.
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!”
The Player’s hysterical scream was the best explanation, and the four present all involuntarily stopped what they were doing, fear reverberating in everyone’s eyes. Especially Daphne, who now felt an overwhelming urge to flee this place at all costs.
“Hewinia” elegantly threw the broken Player aside, and what followed doubled the fear in the hearts of all present.
Because that Player’s Magic Wand had fallen into her hands.
“So…” she said with a smile, holding the wand in front of her, and spoke with interest, “Let me experience it as well, the Chapters that belong to the Player.”
