Chapter 18: The Realm of the Dead (8)

Waves of invisible 'waves' spread in all directions around the four undead, raising Helton's vigilance as the snow ape maintained the light and was on alert for any eventuality. However, to his surprise, after emitting the 'wave', the undead did not act further, and just stood silently in place, as if waiting for something.

This stalemate lasted for nearly half an hour, and when the first group of about two hundred or so undead arrived from a distance and charged at the Light under the compulsion of their own king, Hel finally knew what the lich was waiting for: as the largest overlords in the area, they did not come here alone, a large number of men followed them, and eliminated those opponents who dared to compete with them, but after approaching here, they were bent on enjoying the power of Rhaegar The undead ordered their men to stay on the periphery, and now they had a new purpose, serving as a tool to consume the Light.

No undead spirit wants to come close to a light that can burn their souls, but the punishment from their masters and leaders is undoubtedly more terrible than the former, driven by the lich and the like, they have to rush to the light at the risk of being burned to ashes, and then dissolve into nothingness in a dazzling light. This attack poses little threat to the Light individually, but like an ant that gnaws away the bison, the Snow Ape quickly felt the pressure when thousands of undead rushed into the Light, and in order to save his strength, he was forced to reduce the range of the White Light by nearly half, which in some way greatly encouraged the undead to become more and more heroic.

Krenus stood far away from the Light, watching his men with a blank expression. In order to defeat the competitors and use the energy of Rhaegar alone, he brought with him the most 'elite' subordinates, who could have carved out a bigger territory for him and captured more resources, but now, like the lowest cannon fodder, he is sending him to his death.

"But it's all worth it. Krenus thought. He had calculated that when Hull's light was mostly consumed, he and the other three undead's men would all be destroyed, and they would no longer have to worry that those men would not be able to suppress their greed and threaten their interests when they discovered Rhaegar's existence. What's more, without the Light, both Hel and Rhaegar will be in the pocket of him and his allies, as a lich with a keen sense, no one knows better than Krenus what kind of huge energy Rhaegar contains, even if he only gets a quarter, it is enough to make his strength break through the current realm and reach a higher level - in the undead world, territory and subordinates may be important, but more important is his own strength, with power, everything will be at his fingertips.

Under the attack of the various 'elite' sharp undead with a total of 19,000, the scope of the Holy Light of Hel continued to shrink, and when the last undead shouted and disappeared into the white 'color' light, the Holy Light had been confined to less than two meters away from Rhaeggar's barrier.

The overwhelming black 'colored' light flew like locusts, continuously impacting the holy light that became like a water curtain, rippling on it, each time taking away a considerable part of the energy belonging to the holy light, under the attack of the lich and others in turn, the holy light quickly thinned and faded at a speed visible to the 'flesh'.

"That big monkey is mine," roared the Zombie King, "no one is allowed to touch him!

However, he never had such a chance again. As he spoke, Hel, who was still struggling to support himself, suddenly put away all the holy light, and then, the snow ape suspended in the air suddenly turned into a white light, threw itself into the invisible barrier below, and stood respectfully behind Rhaegar without the barrier that had made Krenus and his allies work so hard to hinder it in the slightest.

"We've failed," Krenus sighed softly, and said to his temporary allies, "I think we'd better get out of here now, and think about how to deal with the formidable enemy that is coming." ”

Everyone except the Zombie King understood what he meant: the snow ape was clearly at the mercy of the geist in the barrier, and all his actions were to buy time for the latter, and now, it was clear that the geist didn't need the snow ape to do it anymore, and he was either about to recover, or he was sure to recover before they breached the barrier, and either way, for them, taking the power of the other party was already unattainable.

Even a sluggish creature as high as the Zombie King knew very well the power of the being sitting in the barrier - the power of the advancement test that intelligent beings received was directly proportional to their strength, and there was no doubt that the other party had been tested far more than any of them. The undead have never been a forgiving creature, and for enemies who try to harm them, as long as their strength allows, their only reward is complete destruction, a terrible opponent whose strength is far above them, plus a snow ape whose strength is by no means below any of them, and who is born to restrain the undead, even if the four undead can give up their past suspicions to form a true covenant, this is definitely their nightmare.

"I need to get back to my territory at once," said the bone dragon, "you know, it's at least 10,000 kilometers from here, and I've been out of it for too long." His huge body flew into the sky, 'stirring' up puffs of smoke and dust, "Good luck to you." At this moment, he rediscovered the dragon's talent for flying, and in the blink of an eye, the bone dragon turned into a small black dot in the eyes of the other three undead.

- Without much thought, the skulldragon had already planned for its future as it took off: several of his kindred alliances were at war with a group of demons to the south, and his participation would be welcome.

"It seems that our friend has spoken everyone's mind," said the Skeletron King, glaring at the bone dragon in the distance, to the other two, "Obviously, after sacrificing so many of my right-hand men, I must prepare as soon as possible to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation." The ground beneath his feet quickly became soft, and the Skeleton King sank into the ground in less than half a second, his innate earth-walking skills made him as fast as a wind, but he didn't return to the territory, but went farther awayβ€”let the others take over, everything was nothing compared to existence.

"Stupid and cowardly fellow," said the Zombie King with the lich's look of disdain at the look of an idiot, and then turned around, "Don't think I'm as cowardly as they are!" he yelled at Krennas, "In fact, if it weren't for the trouble that damn snow ape caused me, I alone could have broken that barrier." A pair of membranous wings appeared behind him, "but now," the zombie king's body flew into the air, "and I had to go back and recuperate." ”

Looking at the back of the Zombie King, a smile suddenly appeared on Krenus's lips, and the next moment, the lich turned around and walked towards the barrier.

"It's a shame," Krenus whispered to Rhaegar inside the barrier, "you almost made it, but I want to thank you for scaring the three fools out of me. He stepped forward, easily through the barrier, and came to Rhaegar in front of him, and at this moment, the lich, who had never been swayed by emotions, could barely control his 'agitation'.

Of the four undead, he is the only one who can see the reality of Rhaeggar's reality, and in fact, the performance of this geist can be described in four words: bluff. His actual situation is not as rosy as it seems on the surface, at least, he has not recovered to the point where he can control the barrier to make it open to which object it is specialized, and at the same time as letting the snow ape in, he has given up the maintenance of the barrier, and if the bone dragons have enough courage to attack, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that the barrier that would have taken at least a few hours to break is now vulnerable.

Krenus slowly approached Rhaeggar, completely unaware of Hel, who was whispering at him, and after using most of his strength, the snow ape could no longer pose any threat to him. "I'll remember you," the lich raised his hand and lowered it toward Rhaegar's head, "Either way, as a geist, you've done what most of the undead in this world can't. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Rhaegar opened his eyes and said to Krennas, who had a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, "But I don't think very highly of you, and in my opinion, your stupidity is far greater than that of those who fled early. ”

He got up from the ground, gently 'touched' Hel, who was lying at his feet like a pet, and walked over to Krenus, who was bound by an invisible force and completely incapacitated.

The Lich finally realized what the other party really meant: it was undoubtedly much easier to defeat one opponent, especially one who got carried away and lost his vigilance, than to deal with four of them at the same time. From the very beginning, the geist had seen through the essence of his side and designed this trap for each person's characteristics, and perhaps, just as he and his allies were driving his men to attack the Light, the geist had regained his strength, and had been watching them jump around like a bunch of clowns......

His realization ended, and the next moment, an invisible blade stabbed into his body like lightning, destroying his soul fire in an instant.
