The Death Knight appears to be a decomposing corpse, with a black skeleton wrapped in rotten skin and two orange dots of light in each of his eyes. And the Death Knight's voice was cold, like an echo from a deep valley. These creatures were powerful creatures during their lifetimes, so you can find that the Death Knights are wearing expensive or magical clothing, armor, and cloaks that show the importance of their status, which is also one of the accessories they often wear.

Evil magic awakens the fallen hero, giving them near-eternal power, and the Death Knight is born. Dressed in even more powerful armor, these former heroes wield the invincible forces of darkness to carry out atrocities they once dared not imagine!

Looking at those death knights wearing pitch-black full-body armor, Solam felt a little chilled, even if these death knights were the lowest level, they also exceeded level 15, they not only retained most of the combat power before their death, the skills that knights should have, they are a lot, and after the blessing of negative energy, they become more powerful.

They have special abilities that they did not possess during their lifetime. The Death Knight has the following abilities:

Abyssal Fury: Once a day, the Death Knight unleashes a shockwave of fierce fire that fills a radius of 20 feet and instantly spreads outward to 400 feet, half of the shockwave's energy is fire and the other half is negative energy, so "Protective Elemental Damage (Fire)", "Fire Shield (Ice Shield)" and similar spells cannot block this part of the energy.

Aura of Fear: The Death Knight is surrounded by a terrifying aura that symbolizes death and evil. Creatures within 15 feet of the Death Knight must be tested for will, and failure to do so will cause fear to the Death Knight with the same effect as the Dread Spell performed by a Warlock of the same level.

Undead Followers: The Death Knight can summon naturally occurring low-level undead creatures within a 100-mile radius to become his followers, multiplying the Death Knight's own level by two, and these creatures will follow the Death Knight until they are destroyed. (Basically a Death Knight is a small army of the undead)

Command (rebuke) the undead: The majesty of the Death Knights is not something that low-level undead can desecrate, they use their absolute authority over other low-level undead.

Immune to normal weapon damage: The Death Knight's sturdy body makes it basically invulnerable, and normal weapons can't damage it at all.

Immunity: In addition to having immunity to the general undead, the Death Knight is also immune to ice, electrocution, and transformation attacks.

Spell Resistance: The Death Knight's spell resistance is very good among the undead.

Summoning Mounts: Death Knights can summon mounts, the most classic mounts are "Nightmares", of course, you can also choose other evil creatures, but generally speaking, the usual mounts of the Death Knights are undead horses, only in hard battles, they will use this spell, because the creatures they summon are not without combat power, on the contrary, the combat effectiveness is very high.

Undead Trait: The Death Knight is immune to: Psychic Influence; virulent, hypnotic, paralyzing, deterrent, disease, and instant death effects; Necromancy effect; All effects that can be tested for toughness and cannot be applied to inanimate objects. Bashes, bruises, energy drain, and instantaneous effects inflicted by Great Wounds have no effect on the undead.

Break the Good Slash: 1 time per day, double the attack damage against good creatures.

*************

Faced with such a lineup of Death Knights, Soram felt that it was really a very holy decision not to bring Edward and Trismu, and if he was discovered, Soram really didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Soram sneaked more carefully, and as Soram moved forward, he finally saw the group of men in black, only to see that the group of unsightly guys were gathering in front of a huge stone door, sneakily not knowing what they were doing.

The huge stone door had been slightly opened into a gap, which was said to be a gap, but it was relative to the huge size of the stone gate, and in fact, it was no problem for two people to pass through side by side.

It's also from where clumps of black gas keep gushing out, that's negative energy! When approaching here, even though Soram had blessed the "Protective Negative Energy", he still felt a cold to the bone.

Directly opposite the stone gate, the group of black-clothed people were constantly casting spells around a large pit, and as the spell progressed, wails continued to come out of the pit, and some transparent souls of colleagues continued to rush out of the pit, and then were blocked back into the pit by an invisible force.

Because of the gathering of the men in black, Solam didn't dare to get too close, but he keenly found that the pit was full of countless corpses! Most of them are monsters that belong to the sewers, including trolls, ogres, kobolds, snake people, goblins, and a few are humans, elves, half-elves, gnomes, halflings, dwarves, these are supposed to be adventurers who run to the sewers.

All of these victims were disemboweled, and the huge amount of blood even drowned the corpses. And those souls are probably these victims, and those souls are constantly tormented by the power of negative energy and spells, until they are twisted and deformed, and finally possessed on corpses.

The possessed corpses would soon begin to decompose or wither, and when everything stopped, the corpses would stand up and crawl out of the pit. Eventually, the newly created spirits will go aside and bury themselves in the ground on the edge of the pit.

They are actually artificially creating undead on a large scale!!!

It's nothing to create undead, and many necromancers do it. But such a large-scale creation of undead is different, which is strictly forbidden by all parties on the mainland. It's okay to create undead on a large scale, but these people actually use the blood refining method to create undead!

The so-called blood refining method is a special method that is absolutely forbidden by the major churches, even the vast majority of evil gods. Because this technique first requires a huge number of victims to perform a huge blood sacrifice, at the cost of the blood and soul of the victims, in exchange for power for some unspeakable existence. (It could be a demon from the lower plane, or it could be some ancient evil)

For all gods, the question of the soul is a big problem, because the soul is not as important to the gods as the believers in the world, but it is definitely the same foundation, and if the soul of the believer cannot go to the kingdom of God, then it means that the kingdom of the gods has no basis for maintenance.

Usually, the gods can't see the small fights of those necromancers, after all, the gods have a strong power over the group of mages, and it's really not too serious, but the obvious large-scale "business grabbing" behavior of blood refining is different, this is simply a naked provocation, and any god will absolutely not tolerate it, as long as it is discovered, it will basically be directly convicted of blasphemy.

But it's a little strange that they made such a big battle just to create undead?

Just as Soram was thinking about it, one of the men in black began to speak.

"How? Has the seal been corroded faster? A man in black, who was clearly in the lead, asked in a deep voice.

"It's still like that, that protective circle is still resisting stubbornly, and it is estimated that it will take about ten days to completely open the seal." A man in black replied respectfully. "There's no way, we still can't enter the seal now, we can only corrode the entire seal little by little through the magic circuit on the stone door, and the power consumed during this period is too much, and the speed is naturally not too fast. If you corrode the edge of the seal core, it would be much easier. ”

"Of course I knew it would be much faster, but the problem is that none of us expected that those humans would leave such a backhand at the core of the seal." Thinking of this, the man in black in the lead was angry, originally things were going very smoothly, but no one expected that this seal that had been forgotten by the people of Ascatra would still be such a backhand.

At that time, when they found the sealing core and were about to destroy the core, they were suddenly bounced out by a huge force, and they lost 9 people inexplicably during the process.

And at this time, the man in black who had appeared on the high platform before also came.

"My lord, I think we have to change our strategy now."

"How?" The leader of the men in black turned his head to look at his men.

"There have just been signs of human activity in the vicinity, and I think we don't have much time to hide, although this is the first time, but according to the actions of humans this time, I am afraid that more people will come to me in the future."

"Didn't you go in person?" The leader was clearly unhappy that his men hadn't taken matters into their own hands.

"I'm ......" The man in black was just about to explain that he hadn't gone in person, when the leader reacted to himself.

"Oh, I forgot, it was I who ordered everyone not to leave here under any circumstances." There is no way, to control the power of blood refining, each of them is very important, if it weren't for the undead report below that a human appeared, it would be impossible for the man in black to leave his post just now.

The most important things now are breaking the seal and creating the undead, and everything else is relatively small. After all, there are so many human beings, and it is only a matter of time before he finds out that this is a certainty, and he has long been mentally prepared for this.

Moreover, he also believes that there is no reason why thousands of undead will fail to chase a few humans. So he is now angry that his subordinates didn't go in person, and he is a little dizzy now, although speaking of which, they don't need to sleep, but the power of controlling blood refining has made his spirit tense for too long, and it should be a little tired at this time.
