Temoa Empire, the capital.

The black moon has completely descended, and all the moonlight has been obscured.

The night in the capital, which used to be calm and peaceful, was filled with only cries for help, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Help, help!"

Several civilians escaped from a tavern, shouting for help as they ran towards the end of the street.

Behind them, in mid-air, followed by a monster knight.

It was a ghost rider with a man and a horse all over blue, both men and horses covered in heavy iron armor - of course, the iron armor was also a slightly transparent dark blue, and at the same time, it was covered in a white frost and cold mist.

The ghost horse carried the ghost knight, flying through the air and marching forward, leaving flakes of snow behind him, and easily caught up with the fleeing civilians.

Ghost Knight raised his sword and slashed through the backs of the civilians.

Seeing the blade of the sword pass by, these civilians first slashed to the ground, leaving deep and long wounds, but not a drop of blood gushed out - these fallen civilians were covered in a thick layer of frost in an instant, their faces were iron-blue, their eyes were wide open, and they looked as if they had frozen to death in the snow.

The ghost knight, who had cut down the civilians, turned his horse's head and chased in the direction of the figure running in the distance.

"Didn't you say that it was just to destroy the palace?"

The beautiful woman from the Viper team gritted her teeth and asked the wise man.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to get to this point after giving Leonard the full version of the Ancient Magic Array and Spells, but now there's no way, we have to make sure that the prince is okay..."

The young wise man replied calmly, what he said was also the truth, the task that the main god wanted them to complete would be somewhat different from the original book, especially in the strength setting of the boss - for example, the ghost knight leader Gwen they were going to kill, if they were not involved in the plot at all, in reality, the demon hunter Phoenix would definitely be killed, and the fate of these reincarnators would be obliterated.

But it's not so easy to change the plot, the normal plot is that Leonard opened the portal and only released a part of the ghost knights, due to the presence of a large number of guards and court mages in the palace, these ghost knights just hunted a few people, and then snatched the golden dragon claw and left the palace.

Now if you want to find a way to change the emperor, you have to slaughter the entire palace, and the wise man's solution is to provide a full version of the ancient magic array, so that Leonard can open a larger portal and release more ghost knights.

"It's not the fault of the wise, I'm also responsible, and this plan is what I agreed to. The leader of the Viper squad, who looked like a tough soldier, comforted the white left beauty on the side, and tried his best to take the fault on himself - this is probably the job of a qualified reincarnation squad leader.

"Actually, maybe that's a good thing..."

The wise man's eyes shone with wisdom, and he explained simply: "With such a large number of ghost knights coming, everyone—the emperor, the king, all the demon hunters and wizards, these people will feel a great threat, although it may be more difficult for us to deal with Gwen later, but in fact, it will be easier for us to borrow power..."

Now, the three-man team of the Viper Squad is racing through the streets, and they have to send the prince who will cooperate with them away before the monster can kill them, and ensure the safety of the other party.

They were perhaps one of the first to notice that the situation was out of control, when the trio was in the courtyard not far from the palace, watching the group of ghost knights appear and take to the skies to start killing - and then they realized something was wrong.

The number of ghost knights that appeared was much more than expected, resulting in a different situation where only the palace was ravaged in the original plot, and now half of the capital is in chaos, countless civilians have been cut down, and seeing that the range of monsters is still expanding, it has not been stopped at all, and the monsters released by Leonard are several times more than in the original plot.

Deep in the swamp, huts.

On the black flames, the small skull had become crystal clear like a red agate crystal.

"I'll be able to finish another one soon..."

Zhao Li took the skull from the black flames and dipped it into a wooden barrel filled with a disgusting green liquid.

Hiss –

With a cooling sound, Zhao Li lifted the bright red skull out of the liquid and looked at it carefully.

"Very good, no cracks... So are there nine successes?"

Zhao Li nodded at the skulls that had been made and placed on the side, adding up to a total of nine.

Although his series of actions may seem like striking iron, this thing is exactly what it does...

These bright red skulls are the containers that the swamp witches have researched to hold their "souls".

It's just that whether it has an effect or not, and what the effect is, is to be judged by actually using it - it can't be tested at the moment, this thing has to kill people to absorb the soul...

"But now I can revamp my two big hammers, the sterling silver is too soft after all, and the handle is always bent off is really annoying. ”

Zhao Li put aside the skull in his hand and lifted his two large silver hammers instead.

Although these two big silver hammers are really easy to use, the biggest problem is that the silver is too soft, and it is strange to knock a hammer to death, and you have to straighten the bent handle, which is really annoying.

This must be thanked to the two dead swamp witches, after Zhao Li resurrected them, looking through their memories, it was really a great enrichment of knowledge, and even understood the reason why the sword of the demon hunter was so much better than the one made in the ordinary blacksmith shop.

The silver sword used by demon hunters is almost tougher than ordinary steel swords, and the reason for this is that when forging silver swords, they are tempered with magical flames.

Magic Flame Refining - this kind of thing is something that only people like Zhao Li who have upgraded up don't know, people like the swamp witch and Celal who are becoming powerful must understand the knowledge they have learned.

Like the pitch-black flame in front of Zhao Li's eyes, it was made by the swamp witch, it was a flame containing dark magic, and if you want to refine high-level magic tools, potions, etc., it will not work if you use ordinary flames.

"It's just that the hammer is a little tired of playing, condense and refine it, change to a new weapon to play, by the way, these nine skulls can also be refined to weapons together..."

Zhao Li grabbed his bald head and quickly made up his mind.

These nine skulls that can theoretically hold souls, he originally wanted to string them into a chain and wear them around his neck, but then he thought that this was too much like Monk Sha, so he decided to change the plan.
