Chapter 401: Chapter 401 The Star-Crazed Necromancer (First Update)
Karsath had lived for over a thousand years.
He might also be the only Necromancer left in the whole world.
The rest of the Necromancers had mostly died during the medieval period.
At that time, the Church of Light was at the peak of its power, frantically suppressing and exterminating all foreign Deities and various heresies.
Karsath was the sole survivor.
Yet, even after having gone through so much, even now that his body had been offered to the god of death.
He was still full of interest in life.
And his ability to embrace new things was also very strong. In simple terms, he followed whatever was popular.
In recent years, he had become obsessed with fan culture.
By chance, he saw Fan Mengxue starring in God Slayer. The movie, and particularly Fan Mengxue’s performance, amazed Karsath to the point of seeing her as a Heavenly Being, and from then on, he became an avid fan of hers.
He even planned to go to Huaxia to find Fan Mengxue, but unexpectedly he met her here, and moreover, Fan Mengxue had become the apprentice of a Dark Witch.
Karsath stood up, walked over to a confused-looking Fan Mengxue, and performed an elegant bow.
“Respected Miss Fan, I enjoy your movies the most, could you give me your autograph?”
Fan Mengxue nodded in a daze.
“That would be great!”
Karsath was delighted, and he somehow produced a pen and handed it to Fan Mengxue, then he took off his hat and respectfully bowed his head.
“Please sign on top of my head!”
Fan Mengxue looked at her master, Anastasia, in a bit of a panic, and Anastasia shrugged her shoulders, indicating it didn’t matter.
With that, Fan Mengxue bit her lip and with trembling hands signed her name on the smooth-as-jade skull.
“Okay… it’s done!” Fan Mengxue’s voice trembled as she spoke.
Taking a step back, Karsath raised his head, and the Skull Head was removed. Then, looking at the signature on top of the skull, he clicked his tongue in admiration.
“Such beautiful handwriting, but I should really learn some Huaxia language!”
“Alright, Karsath, quit your clowning, we have serious matters to discuss,” Anastasia said in a deep voice.
Hearing her words, Karsath reattached his head and then sighed, “If we’re talking about who has been the most prominent in the past two years, then it definitely has to be Mr. Xue from Huaxia!”
“I’ve been gathering information about his deeds recently, and each one is astounding. But I never imagined he would be so bold as to kill a Cardinal and a Radiant Knight, and even declare his intention to eliminate the Church of Light!”
The woman covered in mosaics spoke in an indistinct voice, “The key isn’t this, but how we, the Dark Council, should respond to this incident!”
“Meng Yan, then what attitude do you think we should take?” Titan said in a muffled voice.
The woman known as Meng Yan was once a household name as a monster throughout Europe.
After hearing Titan’s words, Meng Yan said, “If Mr. Xue truly has the strength to confront the Church of Light, we should naturally assist him. But if he is just all talk, then rash actions on our part could cause us significant losses!”
“Exactly, that’s what I was thinking too. Moreover, I feel that the chances of Xue An’s success are very slim. After all, no matter how formidable he may be, the other side is an immensely large organization. How could he alone confront them?” Titan nodded as he spoke.
But at that moment, Fan Mengxue suddenly said, “I believe he is serious about eliminating the Church of Light!”
“Hmm?” The leaders of the Dark Council all looked towards Fan Mengxue.
“Why do you say that?” Meng Yan asked.
Fan Mengxue lowered her head, “Because I know him!”
Anastasia nodded to the questioning crowd, indicating that what Fan Mengxue said was true.
“Just because you know him, you trust him that much?” Meng Yan challenged.
Fan Mengxue was silent for a moment, then spoke, “I know him too well. If he said he would exterminate, then he surely will take action to exterminate, because he has always been a man of his word!”
“But such a big matter…” Meng Yan wanted to say something else.
Anastasia spoke, “I agree with Meng Xue’s words, and The Dark Council has been quiet for so many years. It’s time to make a move, or else many will forget what it means to show reverence!”
“But…” Titan was still hesitant.
Anastasia shook her head and said, “Titan, even if what Meng Xue said isn’t true, enduring and compromising blindly can never last. Without showing our strength, we will only allow the Church of Light to become ever more overbearing!”
Titan no longer spoke, his head bowed in silence.
“Moreover, if Xue An does make a move, and if he truly can shake the Church of Light, then by standing by and watching, even if the Church of Light is eradicated, we will have no right to take charge of everything.”
Many were silent at this.
Karsath then gave a raspy chuckle, “Indeed, I concur with the Witch’s words. These years of hiding have almost made these old bones of mine rust. It is time for my people to return to the world! At the very least, I must let the world know the Necromancers haven’t been completely extinguished yet!”
Titan and Meng Yan exchanged glances, still hesitant.
At this moment, a letter suddenly appeared in Anastasia’s hands. She unfolded it and her expression instantly turned grave.
“What’s the matter?” Karsath asked.
Anastasia’s voice trembled slightly, “News just arrived, Blood Mountain, the sacred ground of the Blood Clan, has been slaughtered by Xue An, and the Blood Clan’s council has been utterly destroyed!”
Hiss.
All the significant figures present inhaled sharply.
“Is the news true?” Karsath asked in a deep voice.
“Absolutely certain!” Anastasia replied.
The leaders looked at each other, each seeing the shock in the others’ eyes.
Then Karsath gave a wry smile, “It seems we’ve all underestimated Mr. Xue’s capabilities!”
The power of the Blood Clan was slightly stronger than that of the Dark Council.
Yet even such a power had been annihilated by Xue An alone.
Now, no one had anything left to say.
“The Titan clan agrees to take action!” Titan declared after a moment of silence.
“Meng Yan agrees as well!”
Karsath chuckled, “Even though I am the only Necromancer left, I still want to express our lineage’s agreement.”
Anastasia nodded, “Very well, let the Dark Council begin preparations! Be ready to take action against the Church of Light at any moment!”
“Yes!”
All the leaders responded in unison.
But Fan Mengxue had been looking completely lost throughout the entire conversation.
She had not yet recovered from the shock brought on by the news.
One man annihilating the Blood Clan!
Have you become so powerful now?
At this thought, Fan Mengxue could not help feeling a sense of despair.
I once thought that by pushing myself to the limit, I could keep up with you.
But in the end, I couldn’t even catch a glimpse of your shadow.
