Chapter 39: The Death Knight

Since then, Ganyatales has been searching for a way to covertly harness the vast energy beneath this valley.

For more than a decade, Gnayatales has focused almost all of his energy on this, and it has even seriously affected his promotion.

It wasn't until a while ago that he had really figured out how to make good use of this vast amount of energy.

It was then that he truly made up his mind to accept the clan elders' confession to him, leaving the Lich Legion and coming to the valley.

Now it seems that he made the right decision.

Gnayatales looked at the horde of death warriors he had at his disposal with satisfaction.

There are a full 79 dead creatures, all of them at the level of strength above the peak of the Great Knight.

And each of these dead creatures is a little stronger than the same type of dead creatures.

Each of them has an elite template, which is much higher than the ordinary Grand Knight in terms of physical attributes and skill mastery.

Especially the Death Knight whose whole body was shrouded in the rich magic of death.

Although he was only at the level of the mid-level Great Knight, in terms of the amount of death magic gathered on his body alone, he could completely crush an ordinary high-level Great Knight.

Gnayatales' skeletal face twitched slightly, revealing a sinister grin.

"If we fight at the same level, my dear brother Galoya Tales must not be my Shadow's opponent, right?"

Gnayatales looked at the Death Knight he named Shadow, and felt quite proud in his heart.

"I really want to see what that bastard of Garoya Tales will look like when he is slashed to the ground by Shadow alone?"

It must be quite exciting, right?

After all, although Garoyatales is known as the second king of Yatales, he has been trapped in the Great Knight Perfection stage for more than 3,000 years.

It is simply impossible to break through in the short term.

As long as Ganya Tales successfully breaks through to the high-level archmage, as his resurrected undead, Shadow will definitely be able to break through to the Great Knight Great Perfection level without restrictions.

At that time, with a far larger reserve of death mana than Garayatales, it was not impossible to defeat Garayatales.

At the thought of this, Gnayatales's heart was filled with joy.

For him, who had mastered such a huge energy source underground, it was not difficult for him to successfully break through to a high-level archmage.

Another unexpected joy of coming to this valley this time is that I found a good material for making a death knight like Ei.

A half-living corpse whose vitality has not been completely cut off, whose soul is relatively intact and stable, and whose body and death power are fused with an astonishingly high degree.

When he first found him, Gnayatales could even sense some kind of separate consciousness still present in the brainwaves that radiated from his body.

Of course, this was only before.

After Gnayatales successfully refined him into a Death Knight and completely controlled him with undead regeneration, he was just a Death Knight Shadow.

At this time, it was midnight, and the scarlet twin moons hanging high in the sky were just above the valley.

"It's time to start cultivating!"

Gnayatales's heart moved, and his fingers, like dead branches, pressed towards a depression in the center of the platform with a hint of death magic.

The concussive power of death is injected through the hollow into the obsidian plateau that constantly absorbs the free death magic from the outside world.

With a loud bang, the words deeply engraved on the obsidian platform suddenly slowly emerged from the body of the platform with a thick dark color and floated into the air.

With a black glow that was richer than its surroundings, a huge circle appeared in midair.

With the appearance of this circle, the magic of death surged from the depths of the earth like a tidal wave.

The sound of glass breaking sounded in the surrounding space from time to time, and streams of rich death magic were continuously released.

Wave after wave of staggering amounts of liquid death mana can be seen as viscous oil emerging from the ground, and then rapidly evaporating, transforming into gaseous death mana that is more easily absorbed.

The terrifying magic of death converged into thick black mist, filling this not too big valley.

These phenomena of death with an astonishing corrosive effect are tantamount to the most violent poisons in the world to those who are alive.

But for those undead creatures, these death magic are the most precious delicacy in the world.

All the dead creatures, including Ganya Tales, began to greedily absorb the magic of death around them.

As soon as the mist-like death magic approached the bodies of these dead creatures, it was immediately absorbed.

As soon as the death magic enters the bodies of these dead creatures, it will be transformed and fused as quickly as possible.

It's an almost instinctive reaction that all dead creatures have.

With every trace of death attribute power inhaled, their own strength increased by one point.

When this power is extremely powerful, they only need one opportunity to transform them into a higher-order existence.

Even with the naked eye, it can be seen that the appearance of all the dead creatures has changed to some extent, except for the Death Knight Shadow and Gnayatales.

Some have become taller and stronger, some have sharper and stronger weapons and equipment, and there is even a dense layer of bone spurs growing from the surface of the body of an abomination, emitting a terrifying black light.

Obviously, this abomination has succeeded in inducing its own mutation under the inducement of this extremely high concentration of death magic, and this mutation is still beneficial.

The appearance of Shadow of the Death Knight and Gnaya Tales has not changed significantly, not because the magic of death is ineffective against them.

It's just that as the ultimate creature at the top of the dead creatures, the death magic energy required to change the essence of their lives is much greater than that.

In fact, even with the naked eye, it is easy to see that there are two vortices of death magic in the valley.

The center of these two vortices is none other than Shadow of the Death Knight and Gnayatales.

Unlike other undead creatures that can only absorb a trace of death magic around their bodies, Shadow and Ganyatales, who are top-level undead creatures and have mastered the knight's breathing method and the lich meditation technique respectively, have a much greater absorption range and efficiency.

The amount of death magic absorbed by other dead creatures was dozens or hundreds of times larger, and it swirled and rushed to their side, absorbed by them into their bodies, and quickly transformed into their own power.

This is the purest force of death, without the slightest impurity.
