With the 10,000 undead in Guangyao City, Xiu and his party had enough capital to attack any town. The undead were not afraid, would not get tired, and would not question the orders of the commander. They were the ideal soldiers for all generals. With the assistance of Moore, Old John and others, the Undead Legion directly stormed the second city of the Empire of Light.
This was just the beginning. As towns were destroyed one after another, the number of undead grew exponentially. The more undead there were, the higher their troop levels were. Even without Xiu and his party, they still had enough power to destroy a city. Under Xiu's command, the undead troops divided into several groups, stretched the battle line, and devoured the Empire of Light bit by bit.
Wraiths roamed back and forth above the city, death riders rode zombie horses to clean up the streets, and necromancers waved their staffs to command abominations to rush into the crowd. Those abominations made of corpses were full of the breath of the virus and easily infected a group of people. A fire started somewhere, and the scarlet flames illuminated the horrified and desperate faces of the human race. In the undead disaster, even death could not rest. The undead would desecrate corpses, whether they were civilians or soldiers. After falling down, they would get up again and slaughter their former companions mercilessly.
Even though he had seen it many times, Du Ze still felt uncomfortable. He looked away and looked at the sky in the distance. In their path, the sky above was already covered by unknown dark clouds. This was the Undead Sky Canopy. Compared to the last time he saw it outside the forest, the Undead Sky Canopy had spread to a considerable size. It was a symbol of the Undead natural disaster. As long as it was covered by the Undead Sky Canopy, it meant that all the living creatures in that area were basically dead, and only the undead remained.
After cleaning up the city, the Skeleton Mage reported to Xiu as usual: [Master Legion Commander, please lead us to occupy the Chaos Continent.]
When Xiu had 100,000 undead, the Skeleton Mage changed his title, but it seemed that this was not the end of his career. Now Xiu had almost conquered half of the Empire of Light, with nearly 700,000 undead in his hands, but the Skeleton Mage still called Xiu the Legion Commander, and it seemed that he needed to recruit more undead.
Xiu stared at the map and fell into deep thought. As they went deeper into the Empire of Light, more and more people from the Temple of Light came, and the resistance they encountered became greater and greater. The Temple of Light was indeed the nemesis of the Undead. Against them, the Undead's immortality was greatly restricted. When choosing the Empire of Light, Xiu had actually expected this, but he did not expect that the people from the Temple of Light could not be transformed into Undead. The path of fighting to support the war was completely blocked in the Temple of Light.
Xiu could foresee that if they went further, even if they occupied a city, the casualties would exceed the number of people they gained. For Xiu, the most important thing now was to upgrade his rank and pass the level. Although the idea of completely occupying the Empire of Light was very tempting, it was not necessary. Xiu's fingertips slid across the Empire of Light and stopped at the lower right corner of the map, where was the Moonlight Empire. Among the three empires, the Moonlight Empire was the weakest, with the smallest population and territory.
Although ants are small, they are also meat. So the Undead Army changed direction and began to attack the Moonlight Empire. When approaching the border, the ghouls in the front sent news that a tower climber was fleeing in their direction with his undead army. On the way to attack the Bright Empire, Du Ze and his party also met other tower climbers. Those people were leading a group of undead to destroy villages and towns along the way. The undead disaster seemed to be carried out by all the tower climbers. The undead of different tower climbers were clearly distinguished from each other. The tower climbers they met before all avoided each other and carefully kept their distance.
Xiu commanded the undead to deal with the human army that was chasing them. At this time, the escaped tower climber actually sent a message requesting to meet. The mighty undead army split a path to let the tower climber and his undead army in. After seeing the real person, Du Ze found that it was a plump female demon with a devilish figure that was extremely eye-catching.
"Thank you for saving me." The banshee's eyes flickered and she immediately recognized Xiu as the real boss. "You are also a tower climber, right? Maybe we can work together?"
The demon bends her upper body slightly, a sweet scent permeates the air, and she intentionally or unintentionally shows Xiu her sexy and proud figure. Because Du Ze is always with Xiu, he can see it clearly. After receiving the benefit, a stupid and cute person subconsciously begins to speculate how deep the demon's cleavage is.
"Where are you looking at?"
Xiu's voice rang dangerously in his ears. Du Ze kept his straight face expressionless and looked away, showing that he was a gentleman.
After being together for so long, Xiu naturally wouldn't be fooled by his own silly "two nothings and one thing". He held Du Ze's neck, his voice low and gentle, like the sweet words between lovers. "What part of her do you like? I'll help you find it out."
...My Lord, I was wrong!
The banshee watched stiffly as Xiu subdued Du Ze. The demon opposite her curled his lips, and it was hard to tell whether the purple eyes that glanced over at her were smiling or murderous.
"If you do anything else, I'll kill you."
Found...!
The banshee suddenly used the banshee scream, and at the moment when everyone was shocked, she took out a pill with a sweet smell from her chest. However, the banshee could never use the pill. At the moment when she was about to crush the pill, her hands were neatly cut off by Old John's fist blade.
"This is too dangerous." Old John smiled and pushed the pills aside. "The young master's injury hasn't healed yet."
The demon sisters restrained the banshee from the left and right, and the banshee kept screaming, but this time it was because of pain. Mor glanced at the undead brought by the banshee. Even though the commander made such a miserable cry, the undead were indifferent. The divine tower obviously did not intervene in the battle between the climbers.
Verla put the sword to the banshee's neck and demanded, "Why do you want to kill us?"
The banshee just screamed and said nothing. Du Ze had to take off his headphones, the shrill scream was too unpleasant to hear. Xiu seemed to find it irritating too, and waved his hand to let Vera deal with the banshee directly.
Seeing that Xiuzhen was going to kill her, the banshee panicked. She stopped screaming and started shouting. The moment Du Ze put his headphones back on, he heard the banshee saying, "...If I die, you will be avenged by my companions. Their strength is not something you can afford to provoke!"
It was the same old backstage declaration, and Du Ze couldn't help but light a candle for the banshee and her backup. This kind of "I have a relationship with XXX, you can't kill me" begging for mercy might work for other people, but once facing the protagonist, the mortality rate of this sentence is exactly the same as "returning home to get married".
Xiu chuckled, and at that moment, the sound of flapping wings rang out in the air. The banshee's expression instantly changed to one of joy, and she screamed sharply into the sky: "Rachel, I'm here!"
...what?
Three demons fell from the sky, and the leader was Rachel who had separated from them. The demon sisters were shocked and accidentally let the banshee break free. The banshee rushed to Rachel's side. She looked at Du Ze and others with hatred, crying and crying: "They almost killed me. Rachel, you can't let them go!"
Suddenly, Du Ze and the others all looked very strange. Rachel glanced at the Banshee first, then looked at Xiu. He adjusted his glasses and said to the Banshee, "He wants to kill you?"
The banshee nodded vigorously, and under her expectant gaze, Rachel smiled gently.
"Then you can die."
The banshee's head fell to the ground and rolled around. The last thing reflected in her eyes was the scene of her savior bowing to the demon.
"Your Highness, we finally meet again." Rachel stood up after paying her respects and noticed the bandages on Xiu's body. "Your injury..."
"It's almost healed." Xiu glanced at the dead banshee. "What's your relationship with that banshee?"
"We just use each other. She lures other climbers out, and we kill them." Rachel explained: "After the climbers are killed, everything they did will be restored to its original state, and the dead will become living again and return to their city."
That's right. With more and more tower climbers joining, the Undead Dungeon will soon be overcrowded. This will not only reduce competitors, but also clear a large area of the town that has been occupied by others. When Du Ze heard Rachel say that the city would be reset, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. The more he knew that all this was just an illusion simulated by the tower, the more numb they felt when they swept the town, but everything in front of them was so real. If the tower climbers who have experienced all this return to the Chaos Continent and face real living beings, will they still have normal perception?
The tower transforms the climbers bit by bit. According to the plot of "Mixed Blood", it carefully carves the climbers into the appearance it wants. The demons paid for kindness and took away destruction; the undead paid for kindness and took away immortality - at the beginning, the creation. The God of the World said to the eight races: As long as you pay a price of yourself, you can exchange for a talent.
Du Ze stood there in a daze. Why didn't he find out earlier? The dead God of Light would not be the final boss. The only one who could threaten Xiu was the most mysterious God of Creation. This original God who created the world was both the starting point and the end point of "Mixed Blood". Du Ze thought of the murals he saw in the corridor of time and space, and the tower that executed the script step by step, and clenched his hands.
The one who built the tower, set these rules, and tempted Shuu to destroy the world... is it you? The God of Creation.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Du Ze suddenly came back to his senses and looked up at Xiu. This man always stared at him intently, and would notice anything wrong with him.
"Do you know... the God of Creation?"
Xiu seemed a little surprised by the topic, but he still responded seriously: "I've only heard some legends, so what?"
Under the restriction of the invisible existence, Du Ze could not tell Xiu everything he was thinking. He could only vaguely say: "...It's nothing, I just got a little curious."
Xiu rubbed Duze's neck soothingly, and then continued to listen to Rachel's story. After parting with Xiu, Rachel and the others also passed through the light gate. Unlike Xiu and Duze, they arrived at a huge steel city with all kinds of machines and metal puppets on the streets. After hearing Rachel's description, Duze felt that it was the dwarf ruins where he and Xiu had been.
"There are many circular squares there, and each square needs a mechanical part to activate. Those parts can be found on the six-star mechanical puppets. We spent half a month to activate all the squares except the central square." Rachel said: "In the central square, we met the dwarf god, and the last part was on his mechanical puppet. It was a seven-star mechanical puppet. After some casualties, we activated the last square."
Du Ze looked at Rachel's Thunder Squad. It used to be a six-member team, but now only half of them are left.
"Then the eight-star mechanical puppet appeared." Rachel took a deep breath. Even after a while, she was still frightened by the scene at that time. "That city was a huge mechanical puppet, and it was activated by us. At this time, the road was also opened. Under the pursuit of the eight-star mechanical puppet, we escaped from that place and returned to the circular hall."
Just by listening to what Rachel said, Du Ze felt terrified. The place Rachel went to was obviously a dwarf copy.
"We didn't see you in the hall, so we decided to go into the light gate to look for you." Rachel handed her tower certificate to Xiu. "Fortunately, we really met you here."
Rachel's black flame merged into Xiu's black flame. At the same time, all the undead possessed by Rachel were assigned to Xiu. The number of Xiu's undead instantly increased to 1.1 million. At this time, the Skeleton Mage came to Xiu. It finally stopped saying the same old words and said respectfully: "Captain, His Majesty Louis is very satisfied with your performance. He will personally reward you."
The Skeleton Mage raised his bone staff, and all the undead turned into black dust and gathered together, condensing into a huge black door frame. There was a colorful membrane in the door frame, and it seemed that if you just passed through it, you would be teleported to the side of the lich Louis.
Is Emma going to fight the BOSS? Du Ze looked at Xiu beside him. The cute master's injury has not healed yet.
As all the undead turned into black dust, the undead sky that enveloped them began to disperse bit by bit. The sun shone through the dark clouds and shone on the Black Gate, making a sound of corrosion. Du Ze watched helplessly as the Black Gate was gradually melted by the sun. It seemed that if they hesitated any longer, the portal would soon be destroyed.
Please give me a break, Tower of God!
"Walk."
Du Ze was pulled into the portal by Xiu. After a moment of dizziness, his entire field of vision dimmed. In front of him was a hall made of bones. The dark red carpet extended upwards as if soaked with blood, and blue will-o'-wisps were lit at both ends of the carpet. Du Ze's eyes followed the long carpet to the opposite side. At the end of the long carpet, a withered man was sitting on a skeleton. He was wrapped in a black robe, and his withered flesh was close to each other. It looked like... A corpse.
Du Ze recognized it as a lich at a glance. A certain silly and cute guy sighed deeply, this is the standard appearance of a lich. The handsome and elegant lich form of the cute master made him almost not recognize the creature of lich.
The lich sitting on the bone seat should be the famous death god Louis. When he saw Du Ze and others appear, the lich's deep eye sockets ignited blue soul fire. Everyone was reflexively alert, Xiu took out Qianbian and protected Du Ze behind him.
Seeing the Qianbian in Xiu's hand, Louis's soul fire jumped, and a hoarse voice echoed in the empty and dark hall.
"I thought I had lost my magic note." Louis turned his gaze from Qianbian to Xiu. "The fact that you can use it shows that you and I have a connection. I can smell my scent on you."
Xiu chuckled meaninglessly, and it was unclear who the sarcasm was directed at.
"Have you ever experimented on a dwarf?"
"...You are his descendant?" Louis chuckled, "How interesting. In that state, that guy can still have descendants."
Louis stood up from the pedestal and walked down the steps step by step.
"I have done many experiments, and the half-undead dwarf is my most satisfactory work. However, due to my negligence, the guy ran away after an experiment exploded." Louis stopped before touching the cordon of people, his deep eyes staring at Xiu. "But now that I have met you, I can make up for my regret a little."
A huge sickle of death appeared in Louis's hand, and the god of death said hoarsely: "Give me your body."
Mor turned into a black dragon to block Louis' attack. Louis laughed a few times and summoned a bone dragon to knock the black dragon away. Old John and others were busy dealing with the undead summoned by Louis. Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the attacking death god. His undead form was a lich, so he knew how difficult it was to deal with a lich as the most powerful undead creature. As long as the box of life was not destroyed, the lich would be immortal.
“Sizzle——”
Purple arcs jumped towards Louis. Xiu didn't use much strength, just wanted to capture the lich. However, the moment the lightning hit Louis, it was like a needle piercing a bloated balloon. The lich's entire body exploded into black powder. Xiu pulled Du Ze into his arms and protected the two of them with his wings. The powder fell on his wings, melting like snow, bringing a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
When Xiu realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was too late. He felt as if he was frozen. The coldness that had seeped into his body gradually gathered and began to spread to his head, as if it was going to freeze his thoughts as well.
[I accept your body.]
Hugh heard Louis' voice echoing inside him, and then lost consciousness.
