Chapter 40: Freedom

There is a big war between the two lords, and it is not known that Locke is affected. Some low-level undead creatures passing through the Great War instinctively stayed away from the two lord-level existences after sensing the collision between the lord-level existences.

While the battle was raging, suddenly a huge skeleton of bones flew quickly from afar.

This huge skeleton is none other than Gregory, Locke's contract master, the bone dragon. However, at this time, the bone dragon Gregory was far from his previous arrogant state.

On the back of the bone dragon Gregory, there is a golden-colored skeleton warrior, none other than Nicholas, the skeleton king born from this newborn sea of bones. And the high-level undead creature Bone Dragon Lord has been reduced to an undead mount.

Nicholas, the Golden Skull King, immediately left the Sea of Skulls shrouded in a white curtain of light after his birth and awakening.

In terms of hierarchical status, the Golden Skull is the same as the Bone Dragon, which is the upper race in the undead plane, but Nicholas is the undead king who belongs to the Sea of Skulls, and he is the Golden Skull King as soon as he is born, which is far more noble than the bone dragon.

Born in the Sea of Skulls, Nicholas was destined to become the king of this Sea of Skulls.

Of course, it is still unknown whether Nicholas will finally be able to take charge of this Sea of Skulls.

Although the Sea of Skulls created Nicholas, the Golden Skull King, it also gave Nicholas great constraints.

Because Nicholas was born in the Sea of Skulls, the soul fire has the deepest imprint of the undead plane. Belonging to the innate undead king, he is also the closest to the origin of the undead plane. Its soul fire is fundamentally different from the soul fire of other undead creatures.

In this case, Nicholas's strength is far greater than that of other undead creatures of the same level.

If a being of the same level can kill Nicholas and devour his soul fire, he can inherit the identity of Nicholas as the king of the Skull Sea and become the master of a skull sea.

Even for a Sanctuary-level undead king, becoming the master of a sea of bones is something that is undesirable.

The birth of a skeleton hyde will attract a large number of powerful undead beings to fight for it. These powerful undead creatures have come to the Sea of Skulls with the primary goal of slaying Nicholas and devouring the fire of his soul.

Therefore, Nicholas's situation is not ideal, if he cannot become the king of Skeleton High, he can only become a stepping stone for other kings.

Sanctuary-level undead creatures no longer need to rely on devouring soul fire to improve their strength, but need to rely on the comprehension of the origin, and comprehending the law is the best way to improve their strength.

And a sea of skeletons, the endless undead creatures born in it are an important resource for the source of the perception of powerful undead creatures.

Although Nicholas had just been born, his understanding of the undead plane was not inferior to that of other Sanctuary-level undead creatures that had existed for endless years. After all, as a Golden Skeletron born by nature, the information on the Soul Fire Inheritance is naturally extremely comprehensive.

Nicholas left the white light curtain, naturally intending to recover the powerful undead creatures attracted by the arrival of the Sea of Skulls.

These undead creatures may become an important force for Nicholas to take charge of Skull Hyde in the future.

Near the Sea of the Dead, finding powerful undead creatures also belongs to Nicholas's talent.

Soon, one by one, lord-level beings closer to the Sea of Bones were discovered by the Golden Skeletron, and then these high-level undead creatures became the subordinates of Skeletron Nicholas under the threat of the Skeletron King.

High-level undead creatures are already relatively powerful beings in the undead plane, and naturally it is impossible for them to become contract servants of other stronger existences. In the undead plane, the servant contract can only bind the middle and low-level undead creatures below the lord level, and naturally there will be no constraints on the existence of the lord level.

The relationship between those lord-level existences and the Skeleton King Nicholas is only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, similar to the relationship between the president and employees of a company on the earth, which has great freedom and is almost unrestrained, but they belong to the same camp, even if the strength of these lord-level existences exceeds that of Nicholas, the relationship will not change.

In the face of an invading foreign enemy, these undead creatures from the same faction will also have to fight together, and of course, they also have control over the territory near the Skull Sea.

......

When he was still far away, Nicholas discovered these two fierce lord-level existences.

Gregory the bone dragon may be arrogant, but he has no intention of being the mount of the Golden Skeletron.

Carrying the Skeleton King on his back, Gregory crossed a considerable distance in a very short period of time, and came to the close of two fiercely fighting lord-level beings.

"It's fast. Grigory muttered happily in his heart. In addition to sleeping, flying was also a hobby of Gregory the bone dragon, especially with such a fast flight speed. Ever since Skeletron King made himself a temporary mount, he has been flying more than ten times faster.

Gregory naturally knew that this was not because of his own strength, but because he was burdened with the Golden Skeletron. Being able to come into contact with the law of speed is also a great opportunity for the Bone Dragon Lord.

The two fierce battle-level lord-level beings immediately discovered the flying bone dragon and the golden skeleton king on the back of the bone dragon.

When the two lord-level beings who sensed the arrival of the bone dragon invariably stopped fighting. The strength of the bone dragon, as a lord-level existence, he naturally knew that he was not an opponent of the bone dragon of the same level, and he was immediately ready to join forces against Gregory.

"Deterrence. "A wave of volatility emanated from the Skeleton King, which was Nicholas's Undead King talent.

Under the King's Deterrence Talent, not only did the two lord-level beings in front of them lose their minds to resist, but the middle and low-level undead creatures within a radius of tens of thousands of meters nearby were basically all prostrate on the ground.

In front of Nicholas, these two lord-level existences, like some previous existences of the same level, fulfilled their oath with their soul fire and joined Nicholas's camp under the witness of the rules of the undead plane.

Locke, who was quite far away from the battlefield of the two lord-level existences, naturally didn't know what was happening on the battlefield of the Dao Dao. However, Locke could also sense the violent movement caused by the fierce battle between the two to disappear. When Locke was wondering why the battle ended abruptly, suddenly a behemoth appeared in Locke's soul perception.

"Bone Dragon Lord. As soon as Locke's mind moved, he immediately recognized that the person in front of him was his contract master, the Bone Dragon Lord.

"Golden skull. When Locke sensed the bone frame of the Bone Dragon Lord, the image of the Golden Skeletron on his back naturally fell into Locke's soul perception.

"Yes, it is indeed a special undead creature, and it is immune to my king's deterrence. Little skeleton, would you like to join my side? Nicholas's voice appeared in Locke's soul.

When Nicholas used the king's deterrence before, the middle and low-level undead creatures within tens of thousands of meters were all prostrate on the ground, that is, the two lord-level existences were greatly affected, but the skeleton mage Locke did not feel anything special, and was not affected at all.

Inadvertently, Nicholas noticed this particular skeletal creature. And Locke's hideous appearance after being shaped also makes Locke look very different from other skeleton warriors. Under such circumstances, Nicholas naturally realized that Locke, a fourth-level undead creature, was unusual.

Although Locke's strength level is completely negligible in the eyes of Nicholas, Locke's immunity to the king's deterrence is enough to surprise the king of the sea of skulls.

Therefore, Nicholas naturally attached more importance to Locke, and even more to Locke than those of those lord-level existences.

Locke didn't know what a king's deterrence was. However, Locke knew that this golden skeleton could use the Bone Dragon Lord as a mount, and its strength was naturally far superior to that of the Bone Dragon Lord. He didn't dare to refuse the powerful existence in front of him at all, no matter what the other party's request was, Locke was not qualified to refuse, and the huge gap in strength level revealed everything.

"Respected powerhouse, I am naturally willing, but I have already signed a servant contract with the bone dragon lord in front of me. Locke didn't know what it meant to join the Golden Skull's side, whether it was freedom or a deeper contractual bond.
