Chapter 1060 A Dead Man


    Crystal''s POV:


    "What''s the matter?” Sorrell''s face remained devoid of any color. Beneath him, his foot waspletely impaled by the letter opener, but there was no


    blood. Not even a single drop


    I said nothing more. I merely took a couple of steps forward and braced myself. When I was sure that he was distracted, I lunged at him.


    Sorrell was slow to react. He managed to dodge my attack at thest minute, but his movements were stiff. I chased after him andnded a kick on


    his knees. He crumpled to the ground, and the cracking sound of broken bones filled the room. It wasn''t until I had pinned him down that I noticed


    Sorell''s body was stone-cold. He was cold all over.


    He didn''t even struggle against me. He simply slumped there, his head hung low, as if he were already dead.


    Sure enough, when I touched the base of his neck, I found no pulse. I dislodged the letter opener from his foot. Neither the de nor the wound was


    stained with blood. I pried the wound open and found that the flesh inside had already dried up and was starting to dpose.


    This was a dead man!


    But this animated corpse was still speaking to me, asking repeatedly what was happening and what was wrong.


    I was so terrified that I dropped the letter opener and scrambled off the body. Only the ck witches and the vampires had the ability to control the


    dead. Noreen was gone, and most of the ck witches who were still alive had retreated from the world


    That only left the vampires. If Sorrell had been dead for some time, that would exin how the report about their pack being attacked was fabricated.


    The vampires simply wanted to lure Rufus out of the imperial capital!


    Their infiltration went deeper than I thought. Rufus was likely in danger at this very moment. My heart clenched as a fiery wave of anxiety rushed


    through my veins. I needed to find him as soon as possible.


    I was turning to leave when Sorrell''s body began to twitch violently. An awful smell rose from the corpse as its skin turned ck


    It was about to explode!


    Horrified, I covered my face with my


    arm and fledtto the door. In the next


    second, the corpse exploded, =


    sending } pieces of rotting flesh alt


    over the I room. The foul bodily fluids


    were sttered on the walls,and the


    rere whiff of it made me retch.


    It was soon starting to corrode


    everything it touched, and I knew


    then that it was toxic. I wasted no


    time and used: my witchcraft to form


    a crystal ball and use it to keep the.


    horrendgus mass from leaking out


    It seemed that this room was no


    longetusable. Just then, I heard a


    loud thud from above. I turned into a


    wolf and crashed through-the


    window. I leaped out into the terrace


    and onto the roof. As expected, I


    found a vampire peeping through


    the ceiling with some kind of


    controlling device in his hand. That


    disgusting explosion must have


    been his doing.


    The vampire whirled toward me and bared his fangs. "Werewolf," he growled in disdain.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    I roared in response, and then rushed forward and scratched his arm. Vampire blood could not stand any exposure to light, as it would cause an


    excruciating burning sensation.


    The vampire hastily covered the


    scratches with his other arm and


    shot me amurderous re. His


    fangs seemed to sharpen beforemy

    I wasn''t about to let him hurt me, of course. I dodged to the side and turned over. Then, in one swift motion, I pounced and bit off the vampire''s hand.


    He screamed in pain, even as he tried to swipe at me with his other hand


    I shifted back to my human shape and dropped his severed hand at my feet. The vampire grabbed his chance. He took out a red bead from his


    pocket and smashed it to the ground. and we were immediately engulfed in a thick smoke.


    I covered my nose and mustered the power of the ck witch in my body. I waved my arm, and the smoke disappeared in an instant. The vampire


    had fled into the distance by then. I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath before chasing after him
