What’s more, the intruders tonight hadn’t been dealt with yet.
Therefore, Hell had every reason to become stronger, no matter what, even if it meant using powers not recognized by ordinary people.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to the living corpses Hell had sent out as scouts earlier.
One of the living corpses that had gone to the antechamber suddenly lost contact with Hell.
Hell was greatly alarmed.
He quickly grabbed Lily and ran towards the dungeon.
At the same time, he mobilized living corpses from other directions to rush towards the antechamber.
After they hid in the dungeon, Hell then instructed Lily to protect him, while using 【Elementary Necromancy: Undead Vision】 to survey the enemy situation.
【Name】: Ak Durant
【Strength】: 9-star Earth Knight
【Attributes】: Martial Power: 156 (68), Magic Power: 41 (22), Knowledge: 25 (5), Luck: 26 (6), Charm: 47 (7), Elemental Affinity: 50 (Death)
【Traits】: Dragon Bloodline (Gold), Dragon Blood Knight Order (Purple), Advanced Spear Mastery (Purple), Death Aura Affinity (Purple), Unconscious (Black), Death Servant (Black), Resentment of the Living (Black)
Indeed, how could someone who could act alongside 7-star Magister Nether and 9-star Magister Rose be weak?
This was not Nether, that half-baked fellow, and Hell couldn’t guarantee that he would be immune to this Knight’s physical attacks, so he certainly couldn’t rush in recklessly.
However, the Undead King trait should work on him, but with his strength, he could completely instantly kill Hell before Hell could even command him.
After all, this was an Earth Knight.
A powerful transcendent with the ability to split mountains and cleave rivers.
There were no more than ten Earth Knights in the entire Mandala Duchy.
In Earl of Heim Territory, where most were Intermediate Knights and Elementary Knights,
It was completely the ultimate nuclear weapon that could instantly kill all existence.
And Hell was just a small Elementary Mage.
But if this problem isn’t solved…
With a whoosh, Hell only felt a blur flash before his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, his vision returned to his main body.
The living corpse that had been sent to investigate was clearly dead beyond dead.
“What a pain.”
Hell scratched his messy hair, annoyed. For the Undead King trait to work, he had to be able to issue commands.
Whether it was verbal commands or communication through mental power.
But the problem was that Hell’s current strength was too weak; he simply couldn’t project his mental power.
So, if he wanted to control the opponent, he could only rely on shouting.
But as for this shouting…
Hell had already drawn a conclusion at the cost of one living corpse’s Death.
That is, trying to get a living corpse to shout on his behalf simply wouldn’t work.
Because living corpses couldn’t speak at all.
So, at this moment, there was only one way.
As the saying goes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the cub? He could only go in person.
So Hell cautiously made his way towards the castle antechamber.
With the previous living corpses scouting ahead, he knew the opponent’s exact location.
As long as he avoided carefully, getting close to the opponent shouldn’t be a problem.
However, the opponent seemed to have anticipated his anticipation.
When Hell crept to the antechamber entrance, just about to look inside,
A pitch-black Knight’s long spear suddenly thrust towards him.
He had no time to react, and the spear tip had already pierced his chest.
“Kneel.”
Hell roared, and then heard a whoosh.
The next moment, his vision blurred, and when he came back to his senses, he was already back in the dungeon.
Only a living corpse pierced by the Undead Knight’s long spear remained in place.
Immediately after, this living corpse, under the impact of the Death Aura on the long spear, exploded into countless pieces of flesh and scattered all over the ground.
【Advanced Death Magic: Undead Substitution】
When suffering a fatal injury, the caster can swap positions with an undead subordinate of comparable strength and transfer all damage to that subordinate.
However, it has a very long cooldown, and the stronger the strength, the longer the cooldown.
According to Hell’s current strength, the next use would be 12 hours later.
It was Hell’s last resort for self-preservation.
But because of this, he successfully seized this precious opportunity.
An opportunity to subdue or kill this undead creature.
The Undead Knight, now forced to kneel by command, had lost his proud speed.
If he sent another living corpse to take his weapon,
Then he would be a tiger with its teeth pulled, no longer posing any threat to Hell.
However, when Hell returned to the castle’s antechamber through the living corpse’s perspective.
He fell silent.
In the center of the antechamber, an Undead Knight in heavy armor knelt on one knee, lowering his arrogant head.
However, a long spear had pierced his head from front to back.
It was precisely the long spear that had almost pierced Hell through earlier.
Apparently, this Undead Knight, after sensing the aura brought by Hell’s Undead King trait,
Knew he couldn’t resist, and thus died in loyalty.
“What is this, a Knight’s loyalty unto Death?”
Looking at the Undead Knight before him, who would rather commit suicide than submit to him, Hell’s heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.
Other people’s Knights died to show their resolve, while all of his Knights were traitors.
Could this be the so-called charisma?
At this moment, Hell didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings.
But if he died, he died; there was nothing to regret.
Hell shook his head, walked over to the Undead Knight, and stripped him clean of his equipment and elemental crystals.
Even if he admired the opponent’s bravery, it didn’t prevent Hell from looting him. At most, after things were settled, he would find a good feng shui spot to bury him.
Thinking this, Hell finally dug out his elemental crystal.
As a result, the already withered corpse, after losing its elemental crystal, instantly turned into countless fragments, scattering all over the ground.
【Trait Acquisition in progress】
【Dragon Bloodline (Gold) Acquired】
【Death Aura Affinity (Purple) Acquired】
【Advanced Spear Mastery (Purple) Acquired】
【Dragon Blood Knight Order (Purple) Acquired】
...
Dragon Blood Knight Order?
Looking at the newly acquired trait, Hell fell into thought.
【Dragon Blood Knight Order (Purple)】: Knowledge +30, Luck +20, Royal Guards of Fredom, Free Country.
If Hell remembered correctly, Fredom, Free Country, was located just south of Mandala Duchy, separated from Heim Territory by a Magic Beast Forest.
Because the environment in the forest was treacherous, few people ventured deep into it.
To come from the Free Country, one would usually go around the Golden Marquis Territory west of Heim Territory.
“So, Nether and his group came from the Free Country, and even killed a Royal Guard to serve as a thug?
It seems that something must have happened in the Free Country.
Otherwise, with the foundation of a kingdom, Magisters are really nothing in their eyes.
I just hope they don’t come after the small fry with the big ones.”
Hell silently put away these traits, and the sense of urgency in his heart deepened a few points.
