Consciousness returns.
A man clad in black armor knelt on one knee, exuding a chilling aura.
"Get up." Jiang Yan looked at the panel.
Assar
Rank: Unique.
Divine Position: Lord of the Death Knights.
Rank: Lower God.
Faith Level: Diehard.
Strengths: Death Baptism, Mass Charge, Resurrection, Area Enhancement.
Overall score: 990,000.
A quick glance revealed that almost all of the skills were area-of-effect buffs, indicating that the Necropolis had indeed found a qualified commander.
Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction and looked at the tall soldier in front of him.
"I will grant you even greater power."
Innate ability activated!
[The ultimate enhancement effect has been successfully triggered.]
Death Baptism → Redemption of the Dead: Whenever a soldier within the commander's range is severely wounded, death energy is automatically condensed to restore him to half his condition. This can only be done once per hour.
Mass Charge → Necromancer's Soul: Depending on the number of undead under the commander's command, it can summon Nightmare Warhorses, Dark Prison Dragons, and Abyss-Suppressing Beasts to assist in battle.
Resurrection → Selflessness: When Assar suffers a fatal attack, he will automatically transfer the damage, saving himself at the cost of his undead subordinates.
Area Enhancement → Death Domain: Passive effect, enhances all attributes. Active effect, consumes 1% of maximum divine power per second upon activation. During this period, all undead within the domain whose strength does not exceed Asar's can be resurrected infinitely.
"It seems we've created something extraordinary." Jiang Yan examined the evolved skills.
Automatic healing, military spirit, group buffs, and unlimited resurrection within 100 seconds can almost multiply the strength of the undead army several times over.
With his leadership, they could probably even go toe-to-toe with an angelic legion of the same level.
but...
Seeing Asar's greatly increased aura, Jiang Yan suddenly asked curiously, "As the Lord of the Death Knights, where is your mount?"
"Your Majesty, my companion perished in the battle of the Abyss. The Palace of the Dead has taken back my true spirit, but my companion has no divine position and cannot enter the palace."
Assar responded respectfully.
My condolences.
Jiang Yan pointed to the army of the dead in the divine kingdom and comforted him, "Why don't you just pick one to use for now?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please forgive my overstepping."
Upon hearing this, Asar gave a military salute, flew down to a bone dragon knight, and said calmly:
"Get down."
The demigod skeleton, which was connected to the bone dragon, hurriedly conjured a bone blade, cut itself in half at the waist, and crawled down.
Assar then stepped onto the dragon's head and stomped on it forcefully.
The skeletal dragon understood and moved its bones to create two grooves to secure its feet.
"It's starting to look decent." Jiang Yan smiled faintly, glanced at the angels whose divine power had been restored, and silently thought to himself.
"Teleport to the twentieth floor."
A flash of light, and everyone disappeared from the spot.
...
Surface Abyss, twentieth layer.
The moment he landed, Jiang Yan felt the flow of divine power within his body suddenly stop.
A notification sounded from various realms.
[The Abyss Infection has been further enhanced. All Abyss creatures have their overall abilities increased by 30%, while those outside the Abyss have their overall abilities decreased by 15%.]
[Starting from this level, you need to successfully destroy one Demon Pillar before you can proceed to the next level.]
Please note that starting from this level, you will receive bonus points for each level you clear.
The White-Tier Interdimensional Points Shop is now open.
"So this is what the twentieth floor is like..."
Jiang Yan looked around. The corrosive aura was even stronger, and the originally dark red earth had turned into a congealed bloodstain, settling with an eerie darkness.
"Holy Lord, 103 kilometers ahead, a large number of abyssal demons have gathered, along with the aura of a lower-level abyssal demon god. It is a strange species, a pure strength-type monster."
Jiang Yan nodded and said, "That should be where the Demon Abyss Pillar is located."
Although he could only linger in the top five levels in his previous life, he still knew some basic information.
Floors 20-29: At each Demon Pillar on each floor, a lower-ranking Abyss Demon God and a million Abyss Monsters will be added.
If they cannot be completely destroyed within 24 hours, the Demon Pillars will summon a new batch of monsters.
Without overwhelming strength, it's impossible to pass.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to eliminate them for you."
Asar approached Jiang Yan and knelt down on one knee again, his eyes filled with longing.
"Go, let these abyssal monsters witness the power of the Netherworld."
Jiang Yan waved his hand, unleashing his divine kingdom and sending down an army of 50 million undead.
Then he handed a chessboard-shaped object to the other person.
Medium-sized war machine of the Netherworld.
"yes."
Asar bowed respectfully, then turned and leaped onto the bone dragon. An invisible aura of death connected with each undead, and the faint phantom of a nightmare warhorse appeared in the sky.
"Charge for the Emperor!"
He roared and rode the bone dragon, leading the charge towards the Demon Abyss Pillar.
The previously scattered army of undead now seemed to have coalesced into a single entity, maintaining an astonishingly uniform speed regardless of size.
Different types of creatures are also paired with skills that best match their attributes.
"Xina, look how brave he is, leading the charge without fear of death," Jiang Yan joked.
"Is he not afraid of death? He's just not going to die!" Sheena said dismissively.
The only advantage of such a reckless knight is his thick skin and tough flesh; otherwise, he can't compare to an elegant archer.
"Too."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he thought about the "sacrifice others for oneself" skill.
He waved his hand, releasing a holy light spell.
A screen of synchronized images appeared in the void, like a mirage with Blu-ray quality.
In the picture.
Asar's army has already reached the area of the Abyss Pillar.
Millions of monsters, all at least at the seventh rank, gathered from all directions, their grotesque mouths and writhing flesh sending chills down one's spine.
In the very instant of close combat.
Assar tossed the chessboard aside.
A raging, dead river descended from the sky.
Assar did not hesitate to open the Death Realm, throwing millions of the dead into it.
The River of Death tilted in an instant, swallowing up all the abyssal monsters that were not even demigods.
Those undead that were cast into the Death Domain were immediately resurrected under its effects.
In just ten seconds, the once mighty monster army was reduced to only a few dozen abyssal demigods and a low-level abyssal demon god staring at each other in bewilderment.
A chaotic battle quickly turned into a crushing defeat.
Assar put away the chessboard, and the march continued without pause.
"Military spirit, unite!"
With a roar, countless death energies converged from the various undead warriors, and the nightmare warhorses in the sky materialized.
Asar rode the dragon and leaped onto the Nightmare Warhorse.
Hiss!
Guided by the momentum, the galloping warhorses charged forward with unstoppable force.
Those demigods and lower-ranking demons fearlessly charged forward.
Bang!
At the moment of collision, the combined power of fifty million dead souls erupted from them, instantly shattering into countless particles.
The Demon Pillar, now without its protector, was shattered by a graceful turn and kick from the warhorse.
The army stopped abruptly, turned to face Jiang Yan, and bowed slightly in salute.
"That's so smooth and flowing."
Jiang Yan exclaimed in admiration.
It seems it's time to bring some shock to the world.
"Next floor."
