The lich Krenus stood nearly a hundred meters away from Rhaegar and stared at the prey in front of him, but at this moment his mind was completely focused on the invisible barrier in front of him, this mage who had been a lich for thousands of years could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained therein, and anyone who wanted to force a breakthrough of this barrier would pay a terrible price.

"Looks like you're in trouble," the zombie covered in black scales came to the edge of the barrier at some point, and he 'communicated' with Krenus in the language of the undead world, "I thought I was the only one who could do nothing about this barrier." ”

This clumsy 'agitation' didn't get Krenus to take the bait, and he glanced at the Zombie King in disgust, then turned his head away, and continued to observe the magical barrier that had condensed several times the amount of energy that was equivalent to the original.

"Look who's coming?" the skeleton was supposed to be faster than the zombies, but deliberately fell behind, becoming the third undead to arrive, "Great zombie king! ”

- By the way, this sparkling Skeletron has a territory adjacent to the Zombie King, but the relationship between the two is definitely not good neighbors.

"Shut up, you abominable bone," the Zombie King roared, "or I wouldn't mind tearing you apart now!"

"Before you say the word skeleton, it's best to identify the object. "Due to the obstruction of the 'chaotic' flow of energy that still remained in the sky, the bone dragon flying in the sky was the last of all to arrive, and while he fell to the ground, splashing puffs of smoke and dust, he said to the zombie king in his thunderous voice: "Otherwise, I would be happy to have a free zombie dessert before the main meal." ”

Although he is not of the same race as the Skeleton, under the Zombie King's obviously insulting 'sexual' and wide-ranging rhetoric, the Bone Dragon automatically stands with the Skeleton King, and the situation suddenly becomes extremely unfavorable to the Zombie King- He had offended the Lich and then clashed with two other undead, and even the zombies, who had never believed in strength and killing, and whose brains were barely smarter than orcs, knew the consequences well, and the only thing the Zombie King could do under the threat of reality was to let out a low, indecipherable roar from his throat and fall silent.

Krenus watched the undead 'lips' with cold eyes, and his mind was clear about the latter's intentions: the backwardness of the Skeleton King, who was known for his swiftness, was a deliberate act in order to arrive at about the same time as the bone dragon, and his sarcastic words were clearly intended to 'provoke' the zombie king to speak out when he lost his mind. Obviously, the bone dragon meant the same thing, and through a conversation with the headless but self-righteous zombie king, the two bones tacitly reached a pact.

It was undoubtedly the last thing the lich wanted, "I don't think we're here to fight," Krenus said in his hoarse voice, "Our friends should be glad to see us fighting each other." He looked at Rhaegar who was meditating with his eyes closed, "Normally, it takes at least three days for someone to recover after passing the qualification test, but there's no guarantee that anyone can shorten that period. ”

His words reminded the three undead who were in the midst of the battle, "Well said," the bone dragon said, "As a great mage, I believe you have more than any of us can deal with the barrier that held us back, and if you can get rid of it, I'll be happy to give you some more of my share, and I think others will do the same." ”

"That's right," said the Zombie King in a gruff voice, "and if you can break this barrier, I wouldn't mind giving you a share of my share." ”

Krenus finally understood why the undead always said that the other party had the brain of a zombie when they were scolding people and stupid, these creatures were simply some self-made clever and actually pig-like things, and the zombie king didn't even see the intention of the bone dragon, once the lich was damaged by breaking the barrier, after getting the prey, the two allied bone frames would first get rid of him who remained intact in strength, and then deal with the devastated Krenus.

"None of us will be able to break this barrier without paying a price," Krenus said coldly, "In fact, even if we work together, it will take a lot of effort to do this, and if we can't reach a consensus, the only outcome of our operation will be nothing." ”

He looked around at the remaining three undead, "I know what you're thinking," Krenus said, "but obviously, none of us can enjoy this delicious meal to ourselves, so I suggest," he paused, then said a word, "Temporary Covenant." ”

In the undead world, it is difficult for two undead to be allies sincerely, but this does not prevent them from becoming temporary allies in the face of common interests or crises, in response to this situation, the undead have invented a new kind of covenant, which has no fixed time limit and clear scope, but only uses a certain event as the content of the covenant, and once the event ends, the covenant will be invalidated. This covenant is simple to make, but it is no less binding than the vows of some kind of force, and any creature that violates the covenant will be mercilessly punished by the undead world, which is undoubtedly the surest guarantee for the undead to gain mutual trust.

"Divide the prey equally. The bone dragon said, knowing full well that his and the Skeletron's plans had been frustrated, unless they were prepared to destroy the other two competitors now and cross the barrier on their own, the Lich's offer was the most reasonable at the moment - in fact, in terms of strength, Krenus was undoubtedly the strongest of them all, and he was half as weak as the Skeleton King and the Zombie King.

"Time will end when the last person has fully absorbed the power obtained. "The Skeleton King is also aware of the current situation, he is the weakest of all when it comes to absorbing energy, and in order to ensure his own safety, this skeleton has added a deadline to the oath.

"Agreed. Krenus first stretched out his hand, then the bone dragon put its huge front paws on it, then the Skeleton King, the Zombie King hesitated a little, and then put his hand on it, and a wonderful 'wave' immediately arose from nothingness, sweeping over the undead present, and the covenant was made.

Rhaegar didn't know anything about the agreement of the undead on the outer part of the barrier, but when the impact of the powerful energy of the four realms together on the barrier was transmitted to his soul through the 'spirit' connection, he knew that his worst fears had happened. Like Rhaegar before the promotion, these undead who came to attack were all forbidden mage level existences, if judged by the classification of the mages, their level should all be at the eleventh order, among which Krenus was close to the twelfth order, Rhaegard's spells might be able to withstand the attacks of any two of them, but under the joint efforts of the four beings standing at the peak of the undead realm, the barrier he set up was shaken after the first blow.

The second attack arrived five minutes later, and this one was significantly more powerful than the previous one, which was somewhat tentatively 'sexual'. The colorless dragon breath emitted by the bone dragon, the black 'colored' air flow shot out by the zombie king's fist, and the pale blue 'colored' light spewed by the skull king and the 'shooting' line of glittering silver 'color' light emitted by the lich, four different energies converged not far from the barrier, and then turned into a spiral-shaped column composed of different colors, in the four undead's ' , the column spun rapidly, piercing the invisible barrier separating the undead from Rhaegar like the most efficient drill.

"Those guys don't seem to be easy to deal with," Sock's voice sounded in Rhaegar's soul at this time, "According to the laws of the universe, this is also part of the test, I can't directly 'intervene' to stop them, but I think I can do something for you." ”

Gentle energy passed through the barrier unhindered, pouring into Rhaegar's body from all directions, replenishing his consumption. As Sock said, for those who are being tested in the undead realm, predators are also the content of the test, and any external force is not allowed to intervene except for the tested, but it is not against the rules to help the tested person recover through some means. With the influx of those energies, Rhaegar felt that the recovery speed of his soul and 'flesh' body had greatly accelerated, and if there were no accidents, he would be back to his peak state in ten hours at most.

However, this is not enough.

"Six hours. Despite meditating, the condition of the outer barrier reached the depths of Rhaeggar's soul, and according to his estimates, the barrier could last for up to six hours, at which point the only thing he could do was stay where he was and wait for the predators to devour him. At this existential juncture, Rhaegar surprisingly didn't feel the slightest nervousness - he had done everything he could, and if fate meant his demise, he would have to accept it, at least, for an unknown number of years compared to the gods and their followers he had killed.

A roar of rage rang out from outside the barrier and inside Rhaegar's soul at the same time, and almost at the same moment, a tall white 'colored' figure suddenly appeared in front of the undead who were concentrating on breaking through the barrier, knocking away the nearest zombie king with a single punch, and then roared and lunged at the other three.
