The Phantom Palace is a veritable city of death, where the bones of the mad sorceress Prisra are buried deep beneath the bones of more than 10,000 people slaughtered in order to keep her youth alive. Later, a centuries-long war broke out, and countless lives were lost here, and after being polluted by the dark forces, they turned it into a paradise for the undead.

The black soil wriggled and rolled, and there was a "quack, quack!" sound of bones grinding against each other, making my gums tingle.

"Whew!" a low howl sounded, and a pair of white bone claws came out of the ground and grabbed them. Samantha and Neil reacted the fastest, jumping onto the broken wall to avoid the disgusting undead.

Mark drew his bright broadsword and slashed several bone claws that tried to get close to him, Arnold pulled out a huge two-handed axe from his back and let out a heaven-shattering roar that made the bone claws unable to get close for a moment, and Erica unleashed her flying spell to escape the undead's attack...... Only Ruinon stood motionless.

"What is that stupid boy doing? stunned?" said Samantha, looking at the unresponsive Rainon, "Phil Yaound, do you want to die?" "Oops! It's too late......" The white bone claw had already grabbed Renon's foot, and Samantha had to let go of her tight bowstring because of the rat thrower.

"Rui...... Phil, what are you doing?" Erica almost called Renon by her real name.

Feeling the fluctuations of dark telekinesis coming from the White Bone Claws, Renon felt as if he had been in a drought for a long time, so eager to absorb these energies.

"Ruinon, this is a rare meal! Don't say you want it, I want it too! Why don't we cooperate?"

"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" asked Ruinon.

"Lend me your body...... No, just borrow a hand. I use this hand to absorb the dark energy of those undead creatures, and after absorbing it, we will be two or seven or three, and I will be seven and you will be three. ”

"This ......" Rui Nong didn't know if he could absorb it, and he couldn't decide for a while.

"You can use the Stamoko family crest to absorb these energies. This is an opportunity not to be missed, because your own strength cannot deprive the undead of their strength, so promise it!" a trembling voice sounded in Renon's mind.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you, but it's fifty-fifty!"

"I'm going to @#¥#% (River Crab) Lao Tzu's hard-earned energy, why should I divide you in half for nothing? It's good to divide your one-third!" Nightmare said dissatisfied.

"Rent!"

"I'm rubbing!

"Ruinon, one-third of the energy of each undead is enough for you to absorb. Once there is too much dark energy, not only will you not be able to absorb it, but you may also be corrupted by the dark power. A trembling voice persuaded.

"Okay! That's it. As soon as Ruinon finished speaking, he realized that he had lost sensation in his right hand. After coming out of the spiritual realm, he saw that he was already crawling around him with countless white bones, and they were slowly burrowing up from the ground. And the undead who was grabbing Ruinon's calf had already drilled out of most of his body, and a pair of huge bone claws were grabbing and grabbing Ruinon's thin body and climbing towards the crow.

"Phil, what are you doing, do you want to die?" Erika was flying in the air, looking down anxiously, the elemental light in her hand shining. She had already made up her mind that if the situation was critical, she would act at any time, even if it was to injure Renon by mistake.

Commander Mark smashed a half-protruding skeleton with a sword and asked, "How is it? Everyone is okay, right? ”

"Ahh

"I think we should think about him before we retreat. Samantha gestured to Renon not far away.

"I'll save him, and you'll cover me. Mark shouted back as he swung his sword and smashed a lunged skeleton.

"Bruce be careful!" Samantha drew her bow and arrow and shot it behind Mark, "the skeleton you just smashed is back to life!

"Hey, hey, hey, these skeletons can't be killed, and if you chop them into powder like Arnold, they'll be able to recover. They are an army of the undead who are inexhaustible and fearless, which is why the Papal forces withdrew. Neil sneered, as if it was none of his business.

The group was scrambling, and Rainon stood motionless, letting the hordes of skeletons get closer and closer to him.

The first skeleton that grabbed him stood up, its head raised and its empty eyes met its gaze with no fear. They looked at each other and stared at each other. Even though there was nothing in the skeleton's eyes, Renon still felt the burning gaze coming from the empty eye sockets, as if he saw a pair of dancing flames in the other person's eye sockets.

Staring into the skeleton's eye sockets, Renon felt his eyelids grow heavier and his hands and feet began to weaken. "It's the skeleton's psionic energy devouring!Nightmare, if you don't do it, Ruinon will be in danger!" The trembling voice sounded in Ruinon's mind, and the word danger startled Ruinon into a cold sweat. (Psionic Devouring: Hungry undead use their powerful dark telekinesis to forcibly ingest the soul energy of weak creatures to sustain their existence.) When the psionic energy is devoured, the undead will get as close to the target as possible, unleashing a terrifying coercion to intimidate the opponent. Creatures consumed by psionic energy will feel weak and powerless until they fall asleep, never waking up. Initial level unknown)

"Hmm!" As soon as Nightmare finished speaking, Rinon's right hand moved on its own. The palm of his hand gently stroked the skull's head, and at this moment Renon noticed that the pair of dancing flames in the skull's eye sockets gradually shrank and finally extinguished.

"Yaoundre, don't touch the skeleton, beware of being corrupted by the forces of darkness!" Mark strode forward, swinging his sword and slashing at the two skeletons that came at him, before shouting at Ronon.

Ronon ignored Mark, instead closing his eyes to feel the fluctuations of dark telekinesis coming from the skeleton's body. Suddenly, a cold dark energy poured into his body from his right arm, gushing and tumbling like a pot of boiling black water.

This energy was a bit too much for Renon to be too strong for him to control and absorb. In the pain of the energy blast, Renon felt that his body was about to explode. The thin body kept trembling, and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The skeleton was drained of energy by the nightmare, and the heavy skeleton made a "sparse" sound and scattered to the ground.

"Yaoundé......" Mark looked at Rainon incredulously.

"Phil...... You ......" Erica noticed something unusual in Renon. She floated down from the sky to Renon's side, "You killed a skeleton, well done! But now is not the time for a fight, we should retreat." After saying that, with a wave of her small hand, a wall of fire rose from the ground with a "poof", and several skeletons that rushed over were instantly burned into flying ashes.

Rainon didn't answer Erica because he couldn't. I saw that his body trembled violently, exuding bursts of cold breath, and painful moans kept coming out of his mouth.

"Phil, can you hear me?" Erica asked, seeing that Renon didn't answer, reaching out and patting Renon on the shoulder. What a strong dark telepathic fluctuation!" Erica thought to herself, this subconscious action shocked her.

"Is this kid evil?" Mark also sensed that something was wrong with Ryanon.

"There's no time to delay, hurry up and get that kid on your back, let's go!" Neil said, pointing to the low dark clouds floating not far away, "The Corpse Witch King is here! and countless skeleton mages and skeleton ......"

(Corpse Witch King: An undead creature that is more advanced than a skeleton mage, most evolved from low-level zombies.) In front of the Corpse Witch King is a creature with strong mental power (both human and animal), and after death, the soul attaches to the corpse and becomes an undead with a certain autonomous consciousness, and it has a strong desire to devour more soul energy to make itself stronger, so it will actively attack the undead who are weaker than itself. The Corpse Witch King is not made of a single corpse, from the original zombie after continuous devouring and fusion, the formed Corpse Witch King is a large undead creature more than three meters high, composed of multiple corpses and skeletons fused, the most notable feature is the hollow eye sockets on the head shining with red light. The Corpse Witch King has a powerful amount of mana and can wield a variety of dark magics, and he can control a large number of zombies and skeletons through his spiritualism to protect himself, while also providing him with a constant supply of soul energy. ）

"Uh? Looks like we've awakened all the sleeping undead creatures, and we've awakened a horrible one. Arnold looked up in the direction Neil was pointing after repelling a siege from a group of skeletons.

"Miss Yaounde, is it okay to fly with your brother?" asked Mark.

"No problem!" Erica said, reaching out and grabbing Rynon by the waist, as she randomly began to prepare for the flight. To her surprise, she couldn't use magic.

What's going on? I can't condense the elements. Erica asked herself in surprise. Soon she sensed the problem that was causing all this, that my magical energy had been absorbed by Ryanon?

"Oops, what an abundance of dark energy!" the nightmare exclaimed in Rinon's mind, "worthy of the undead of the Phantom Palace, capable of defeating the Holy See army." Even a small skeleton contained such a huge amount of dark energy. ”

"Nightmare, if you want to absorb the energy, hurry up, Renong's body can't bear it anymore. "And the situation has become dangerous." ”

"You don't rush! You have to know that when you taste a delicious dish, you must first look at its color, and then ask its fragrance ......."

"If you talk nonsense, I'll make you look like you. ”

"Uhhhhh......h Hmmm? There seems to be something else mixed in with this energy, and it just needs to fill your stomach anyway. ”

It wasn't until the Nightmare absorbed a large amount of dark energy that Renon felt better.

"Miss Yaounde, what are you still grinding? The Witch King is coming, and if we don't hurry up, we'll all die here." Mark hissed at Erica.

"Whew!" A low roar came from behind Erica's wall of fire, and the army of the undead drew closer and closer to them.

"Neil, Samantha, hey, and those two imps, aren't you going to leave yet? I can't stop it! these damn undead can't stop killing them! if you don't leave, come and help!" Arnold shouted as he slashed a group of skeletons away with an axe.

"Here it is, Miss Yaounde, as soon as possible! We don't have time. With that, Samantha took an arrow and shot it at a skeleton not far away, and the arrow pierced through the skeleton's head with pinpoint accuracy, shattering it to pieces.

Neil grabbed a handful of round, black objects from his pocket. He let out a weird laugh and tossed the balls out of the way. In an instant, a dark red light flashed, followed by a series of earth-shattering loud noises, and a scorching wave swept in, engulfing the large group of skeletons.

"Well done, Neil, you're making something a little weird, but it can really come in handy at a critical moment!" Arnold said back to Neil.

Neil didn't answer, still grinning and letting out a "hey, hey, hey" sneer, his eyes staring at the Corpse Witch King not far away.

"Rynon, what's wrong with you, speak!" Erica whispered in an eager voice as she leaned into Rynon's ear, "Rinong!" She tried to unleash her flying spell again, but the elements she had just condensed were all gathered and scattered like a puddle of loose sand, unable to be arranged. And her telekinesis was being pulled by an invisible force, making it impossible for her to control it freely.

"Miss Yaounde, if you don't hurry up, we won't wait for you. Don't you want to fight the Witch King? We can't accompany you to die in vain. "Commander Mark gave the most reckless ultimatum.

"I know!" Erica's tone was extremely firm, "with our current strength, there is no way to compete with the Corpse Witch King, and I don't like to be around this disgusting group of undead. But I'm not going to leave my brother alone, you can just go if you want to!"

"Oh, damn it! Arnold, come here, get out of here with Phil's kid on your back, and his life will be in your hands. Samantha: Come and cover me. Neil, you and I, Your Highness!" Mark said through gritted teeth.

"What, Captain, you didn't burn out your brain, did you? let a Stalker queen?" Samantha grumbled as she watched more and more of the undead around her.

"Now is not the time to complain, Samantha! I didn't let you go to the Queen's Palace! Miss Yaounde is right, they are now members of our Stormdemon mercenary squad, our brothers and sisters, how can we put their lives at risk?"

"Yo, Mark, you've finally said something!" Arnold said after another axe flew a group of skeletons, and then walked quickly to Erica's side, "Does the beautiful young lady need me to carry her luggage?"

Erica nodded and said, "Take Phil and get out of here quickly." Be careful, Phil he's a bit quirky. ”

"No, Sister Yaounde, I'm going to stay here a little longer, you can withdraw first!" Renon finally raised his head and opened a pair of scarlet eyes and said, "I'll catch up with you." ”

"Rui...... Phil, you ......" Erica was at a loss for a moment, and Ryanon's real name almost blurted out. She thought to herself: It's been a long time since she's seen those scarlet eyes......

Ruinon exuded violent dark mental power fluctuations all over his body, as if a demon god had descended. Scarlet light shot out of his eyes, decadent, depressing, suffocating, making people feel that all good hopes were shattered, and that there was no hope of living.

"I think Phil is more terrible and dangerous than the Witch King. Neil put away his smile and said with a difficult voice coming out of his throat.

"him@#¥*& (River Crab River Crab) If he wants to stay, let him stay, let's go!" Mark's sword slashed and slashed through multiple skeletons that pounced on him.

"Let's go!" Erica let go of her hand weakly.

"Miss Yaounde?" Arnold asked, staring at Erica in surprise.

"It's all right! I believe him. After saying that, Erica strode away without looking back. What kind of monster are you, Ruinon, and what kind of bloodline do you have? No wonder Grandpa would take this humble boy as an apprentice. She thought to herself.

"There's so much delicious food, how can we just leave?" As Mark and Erica walked away, a black unicorn appeared next to Rainon out of thin air.

"So many undead...... Are you sure you can? Imagine that they caused the Holy See Templar to suffer a lot. Ronon looked at the nightmare with scarlet eyes.

"Hmph, don't underestimate Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben can be called a legendary monster by you humans. What's the point of a few undead and a corpse witch king?" Nightmare and Rainon were talking happily in the face of the vast army of undead, "What kind of broken clan emblem are you ready......? Don't spoil your stomach!"
