Chapter 458 Keeping The Puppet

The appearance of Countess Irene shocked everyone, especially Su Qing, who took two steps back nervously.

“Why is she here again?” Su Qing asked.

The others were also puzzled and looked at Lu Yu in confusion.

Lu Yu could understand everyone’s situation. When he was testing his Undead Fire, they weren’t there and didn’t know the effect of his skill. He never told them anything, so it was normal for them to be confused about the situation.

“Don’t worry; she’s already dead. She’s now a puppet, just like the byproduct of the flames that the Death Spirit Dragon spewed out back then.”

Hearing Lu Yu’s explanation, Wang Meng, Xu Yuan, and Han Xuefei were the first to react and come to a realization.

“Oh! The fire on the undead we killed that day had the same effect.” Xu Yuan concluded.

“Bro, you have the Death Spirit Dragon’s skill! It’s exactly the same!” Wang Meng exclaimed.

“After I sealed the Death Spirit Dragon inside me, I evolved. It just so happens that my new dragon claws are the same as the Death Spirit Dragon’s, and so is its skill.”

Hearing this, the others were relieved.

“In other words, Countess Irene is now your puppet, and the ice elemental skills just now were also your doing?” Yun Zirou walked over and asked curiously.

Lu Yu nodded. “That’s right. I can control her now. I caught those attackers off guard and instantly wiped them out with Irene’s skill.”

Han Xuefei looked at Countess Irene and saw a weak flame burning on her back. Her expression was stiff, her eyes were dull, and her skin was slightly greenish and pale.

At first glance, anyone could tell that she was no longer a living person. Her skin and expression were no different from those of a dead person.

“Then what do you plan to do with her? Bring her along?” Han Xuefei asked.

Lu Yu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he answered, “I don’t think I need her to follow me all the time. She’s dead now and no longer a living thing. She’s just an object, so I should be able to put her in my storage ring.”

Upon hearing this, everyone revealed a surprised expression. Lu Yu’s idea astonished them.

“Is it possible to do this?”

Lu Yu nodded. “I’ll give it a try. It should be fine.”

Lu Yu walked toward Irene, then picked up the spacial pocket watch hanging around his neck. The surface of the pocket watch was emitting a faint light.

The next moment, Irene was sucked into the pocket watch.

Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled in amazement. Although he felt it was possible, he was still surprised when he did it.

“It’s a success. That’s great!”

Lu Yu turned around and looked at his teammates. “In the future, we will have one more teammate. Although her strength has been reduced by half, she will still be a capable helper.”

“Even if her strength is reduced by half, I don’t think she’s that weak. She might even be a little stronger than us.” Su Qing sighed helplessly and continued, “I didn’t expect the first enemy I faced after entering the ancient ruins to be this strong.”

“This is just the beginning. The enemies we will encounter in the future will definitely be stronger!”

Wang Meng was excited and couldn’t wait for more intense battles in the future!

“You all still underestimated her strength. Her true power is more terrifying than anything we could imagine.”

As Lu Yu spoke, the five looked over and couldn’t help but be curious.

“That wasn’t her true power? I mean, she almost wiped us out!” Su Qing cried out in shock and felt a lingering fear.

The moment the cold blast of air shot out, she almost thought that all of them would die here!

Lu Yu nodded slightly and continued, “When she awakens, there will be a period of weakness, and her strength will slowly return to its peak.”

“As for how huge the difference is between her strength earlier and her peak state, I’m not sure.”

“That’s why we had to kill her earlier. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to do so in the future.”

Lu Yu’s explanation finally gave the others the answer to his actions

I see. It’s a good thing we settled it fast enough. Otherwise, we’d probably die here when she regains her strength.

“I suspect there are still many more ruins like this. If they had woken up before we entered, they should have recovered to their peak strength by now, right?”

“It looks like we’ll have to be more careful when we enter more of these holy temples in the future…”

At that moment, Lu Yu came to Xu Yuan’s side and looked at his arm. “You’re recovering well.”

“Of course. You can rest assured about my healing skills.” Xu Yuan revealed a confident smile.

Lu Yu then looked at Han Xuefei and asked, “How’s your staff?”

Han Xuefei quickly took out her staff, nodded, and replied, “Thank you for giving me this weapon.”

She was grateful and excited, but she still tried to act calm on the surface.

“Very good. You seem to be the only one who can use this staff anyway. Out of the six of us, you’re the only one with the ice element and an esper.”

“Therefore, you’re the most suitable to hold this equipment. All future equipment will be split among whoever’s more suitable for it.”

His teammate nodded in agreement as Lu Yu spoke and had no objections.

After all, Lu Yu was the only one who killed Countess Irene. Although the others’ assistance had helped, Lu Yu was the main reason they defeated her.

No one had any objections to Lu Yu distributing the equipment.

At this time, Xu Yuan frowned slightly and thought of something important. “Since this woman named Irene is a countess, it’s very likely that she belongs to an empire!”

“For example, there are counts, marquises, and dukes in the Lionheart Empire. The importance they had in the empire was different at each level. Of course, although the status of a countess isn’t the highest in an empire, it still has high significance.”

Lu Yu also realized something and asked, “You mean to say that this land might have once been a vast empire?”

“It’s possible. We need to continue this investigation. Many more people must be sleeping like Countess Irene. Let’s find an opportunity to interrogate one of them.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Let’s go back for now.”

“Oh, right. Remember to take all their equipment. If you need them, change into them. If you don’t need them, take them back to storage.”

Lu Yu’s gaze landed on Huang Kai as he said that. Huang Kai was already dead, in a half-kneeling position.

To Lu Yu’s surprise, Huang Kai’s right hand was raised in such a way that it was close to his ear.

Lu Yu quickly walked over and opened his right hand. To his surprise, he found that Huang Kai was holding a walkie-talkie!
