Chapter 300

In the hills, besides the title of "Hero King," Base also had a title called "Destruction King."

This was a title praised by demi-humans of all races for his fighting style, which focused on destroying the enemy's weapons, claws, fangs, horns, and so on.

Looking at the black tower shield that had not suffered a single bit of damage despite his full-force attack.

"Hmph!"

"Hero King" Base's face looked ugly; he quickly left the spot, wanting to find another position to continue attacking.

However!

The Alliance Leader's magic was faster.

"Decaying Bone Prison."

Clack—Clack!

A magic circle emerged from the ground under "Hero King" Base's feet, followed by dozens of bone spikes stabbing out rapidly.

Hum—

A translucent film of light was released from the green magic armor on "Hero King" Base, blocking the impact of these bone spikes.

"Such magic can't hurt me!"

"Although I don't know what kind of armor this is, once a magic caster like you is approached by me, can you block the second time if you can block the first?"

"Hero King" Base took advantage of the gap while the light film blocked the bone spikes to prepare to leave the magic's range, but found that his legs couldn't move, and hurriedly looked at his feet.

He saw that his legs had been stuck by bones emerging from the ground.

"Bastard!" "Hero King" Base's face changed drastically; he raised the shield in his hand to block in front of him while activating a "Martial Art" to try to break free:

"Unhesitating Assault!"

Astonishing power erupted from his body, and the bone spikes trapping his legs began to show fine cracks.

The Alliance Leader, at this moment, walked out slowly from behind the black tower shield.

"Are you surprised?"

"Don't mention attacks of your level; even powerful 6th Rank magic can be blocked by this shield."

The Alliance Leader made a magnetic sound of bone fragments rubbing together, and the black fog on his body vibrated constantly, showing his high spirits:

"This is something I discovered in ruins, a legendary item held by an Undead; it's a pity there is only one."

"This arrogant human."

"Doesn't he think he can rest easy just because he restricted his movement?"

"Hero King" Base saw the Alliance Leader walking out from behind the sturdy black tower shield, his eyes lit up, and he gripped his one-handed heavy sword backhanded, looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Common sense dictates that an individual cannot win against a group."

The Alliance Leader didn't seem to have noticed "Hero King" Base's small movements and continued to speak to himself, his voice suddenly becoming high-pitched:

"Wrong!"

"That's just because the individual's power is too weak!"

Speaking of this.

The Alliance Leader looked abruptly at "Hero King" Base, his magnetic voice of bone fragments rubbing together mixed with a strange, joyful tone: "I will give you this legendary magic armor, how about that?"

"Hero King" Base was stunned.

"No, no."

"This magic armor is yours; it's just returning to its original owner."

The Alliance Leader suddenly chuckled.

Boom!

"Hero King" Base completely broke through the restraint of the bone spikes, his body leaped high, and his one-handed heavy sword slashed toward the Alliance Leader: "You madman, die!"

"Teleportation!"

The Alliance Leader's figure moved and disappeared into thin air.

"Hero King" Base's attack missed again; he hurriedly looked around but didn't find the Alliance Leader's figure, then reacted and raised his head to look at the high sky.

The Alliance Leader who had disappeared.

Had already appeared at the very top of the center of the battlefield.

"Fly"!

The Alliance Leader cast magic again to suspend himself in the air, watching the thousands of low-rank Undead that had been wiped out below, and muttered: "The final step is complete!"

"Let me witness your form—Legendary Undead!"

The Alliance Leader raised his hands high, pushing all the magic power in his body to surge out madly, and chanted in a high-pitched voice:

"6th Rank: Undead Creation: Modified!"

Thud!

Just see, the black tower shield placed in the center of the battlefield vibrated out of thin air, and dense black negative energy rushed out from within the shield.

In an instant, it surged all at once into "Hero King" Base, who was closest to the black tower shield.

"This is... what... bastard..."

"Ah, ah, ah!"

"Hero King" Base couldn't dodge in time and felt the erosion of the negative energy surging from all over his body, unable to help but let out a painful howl.

At the same time!

All the negative energy, death energy, and faint blood mist on the entire battlefield began to converge toward the black tower shield and were injected into "Hero King" Base through the conversion of the black tower shield.

The terrifying scene stunned all the demi-humans on the battlefield at once.

The wailing screams.

Made a group of demi-humans come to their senses again, especially the warriors of the Goat-man race who desperately rushed toward "Hero King" Base's position.

But as soon as these demi-humans approached, the dense negative energy erosion in this area directly turned dozens of Goat-men into white bones, scaring the group of demi-humans outside this range to retreat constantly.

The negative energy and death energy became increasingly dense!

"Hero King" Base's shouting also became weaker and weaker, finally disappearing completely, and his entire body was completely wrapped by a dense black energy.

An oppressive aura spread!

Faint roars came from the black energy.

"It endured! It endured!"

The Alliance Leader felt a sense of weakness all over his body; his withered, skin-and-bone hands aimed at "Hero King" Base below, constantly controlling the energy flow of the entire ritual and the injection of magic power:

"As expected, as expected of a powerful individual among demi-humans who has stepped into the 'Heroic Realm'; if it were a human, they would have long been unable to withstand the erosion of this death energy and negative energy."

"It's a pity there is only one piece of magic equipment left by a legendary Undead!"

A thought of regret flashed through the Alliance Leader's mind, but it was immediately replaced by excitement; he could already feel the imminent birth of the legendary Undead below.

Rumble!

The dense black negative energy suddenly expanded like a heart and then suddenly contracted rapidly.

A rotten arm covered in a black iron gauntlet was the first to reach out from the black fog, grabbing the heavy, two-meter-plus-tall black tower shield placed on the ground and lifting it up.

With the appearance of this simple action.

The hearts of all the demi-humans watching this scene couldn't help but skip a beat.

And then.

It was an indescribable chill rising from their backs.

Even though the entire hilly region was in a drought and there was scorching sunlight high above, at this moment, the demi-humans felt their bodies inexplicably cold.

Clack!

A sound similar to armor rubbing came.

The dense black energy wrapping "Hero King" Base also completely dissipated at this moment!

It was a knight wearing black full-body armor and a tattered black cloak; his body wasn't exactly tall, but it was over two meters, and deep red patterns like blood vessels were drawn on the armor.

At the joints of the armor, thick black spikes emitting cold light protruded, and the helmet had demon horns, with the face exposed.

It was a completely rotten face, somewhat resembling "Hero King" Base, and red, hostile light flickered in the hollow eye sockets.

That was intense hatred and resentment toward all the living!

All the demi-humans watched by this red gaze felt a sense of horror!

"Haha, finally successful."

The Alliance Leader was suspended in mid-air, his voice revealing a sense of weakness, but he didn't hide his excitement at this moment:

"Legendary Undead—Death Knight!"

"Do it! Let me see your power!"

Boom!

The Death Knight stomped on the ground, and his figure ran rapidly; wherever he passed, groups of demi-humans let out screams.

That was an overwhelming slaughter!

All attacks landing on the Death Knight couldn't hurt him at all, and facing the Death Knight's attacks, very few demi-humans could block the second strike.

Even more terrifying!

Any demi-human killed by the Death Knight would instantly crawl up from the ground, turning into an Undead to attack other demi-humans.

And the demi-humans of various races killed by the Undead demi-humans also turned into Undead, joining the slaughter of their former companions.

In just a moment!

Hundreds of Undead had already gathered around the Death Knight.

"Monster!"

"It's a monster!"

"Run!"

Witnessing their companions turning into Undead with their own eyes, plus the successive deaths of "Hero King" Base and "Magic Claw" Rank, two of the famous "Ten Demi-human Heroes."

Most of the demi-humans completely collapsed and fled in all directions!

And for the Death Knight, this made it even easier to kill the demi-humans.

On the cliff.

With a "pat" sound.

Khajiit took a step back, his footing unstable, and he sat on the ground, his face full of shock and fear.

And at this moment, Tang Zheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"So after all this, making such a big commotion, it was just to create a Death Knight?"

A strange look appeared on Tang Zheng's face; he had long known that the so-called "High-Rank Undead" had some water in it, but he didn't expect it to be this much.

"Death Knight" - Mid-Rank Undead.

The level is about 35, which is considered the 6th Rank level. The attack strength is not high, only at the 25-level standard; the powerful part is in defense, possessing 40-level strength.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking air flew from afar, and the Alliance Leader's figure landed in mid-air about 50 meters away from Tang Zheng's position.

"As expected of someone I recognize, your problem here seems to have been solved perfectly."

The Alliance Leader looked at the corpses of the few demi-humans who died behind Tang Zheng, a flash of appreciation in his eyes, and said:

"My luck is also not bad; that is the legendary Undead 'Death Knight'!"

"You might not understand this Undead, but you only need to know that this is a powerful Undead that can destroy a country."

"Join 【Zuranon】, and let us build the Abelion Hills into a true kingdom belonging to our Undead!"

Khajiit sat on the ground, looking at the imposing Alliance Leader, his heart was conquered again; if it weren't for the fact that he was already a dead man in the Alliance Leader's eyes.

At this moment!

Khajiit would definitely kneel on the ground immediately, cheering loudly and enjoying this honor.

Subconsciously.

Khajiit twisted his stiff neck and looked at Tang Zheng, who was standing aside, shrouded in a red robe, with no expression or emotion visible.

"Heh."

Tang Zheng let out a chuckle and exerted a little force in his hand.

Crack!

Na Sulini, the Magic-Manifesting person who had only one breath left, had her neck snapped.

'Experience gained: 51076'

【Experience Slot: 2162396/410000】

…………

Slane Theocracy.

In the somewhat messy room filled with a girlish atmosphere where Star-Gazing Thousand Miles, a member of the 【Black Scripture】, lived.

Star-Gazing Thousand Miles was observing the hilly region through "Clairvoyance" while sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup in her left hand and a dessert in her right.

The great melee of demi-human races in the hilly region was quite a sight.

Star-Gazing Thousand Miles wished these demi-humans would kill each other, which would save them, the Slane Theocracy, from having to take action.

The originally leisurely mood of watching the show became increasingly solemn as time passed.

A harsh "Ding—Clatter" sound rang out in the room!

The teacup slipped from her hand, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Star-Gazing Thousand Miles stood up abruptly; the originally leisurely look disappeared, gradually becoming solemn and serious.

"That is a Death Knight; how is this possible!"

"It was actually created artificially; who is that person!"

Star-Gazing Thousand Miles muttered to herself, both incredulous, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.

The difficulty level of a Death Knight is over 100; in terms of individual strength, it is indeed terrifying, but not enough to make Star-Gazing Thousand Miles, a member of the 【Black Scripture】, feel shocked.

The truly terrifying and disastrous part of a Death Knight is that it can turn the living it kills into follower zombies.

And the living killed by follower zombies will also continue to turn into follower zombies.

As long as there is enough time.

A Death Knight can easily destroy a country, creating an army of Undead as vast as a sea of people, and the gathering of numerous Undead can trigger the natural birth of even stronger Undead.

This is catastrophic!

As soon as Star-Gazing Thousand Miles thought of the massive number of demi-humans in the hilly region turning into Undead, a bone-chilling coldness rose in her heart.

"Death Knight" and "Soul Eater" are both legendary Undead known as disasters.

Dropping the dessert in her hand.

Star-Gazing Thousand Miles rushed out of the room quickly; she needed to report this intelligence to the Pontiffs immediately.

The longer the delay, the larger the number of the Undead army built by the Death Knight would become!

Lower Water Month.

March 27th, "Kalinxia" had continuous overcast rain.

"Colorless Peace" Inn.

Rainwater tapped against the glass, making a crisp sound.

The spacious inn room was somewhat quiet.

Tang Zheng flipped through the book in his hand, looking at the records and stories about the legendary Thirteen Heroes from 200 years ago.

The Leaf Witch sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep; only the faint magic power fluctuations on her body proved that she wasn't asleep but was meditating.

Enri was crawling on the table in the center of the room, holding a pen and writing and drawing on paper, occasionally stretching out her hands to count on her fingers.

She was calculating the money she had earned during this period.

There was quite a lot.

Enri was both happy and thinking about sending the money back to Carne Village to give to the village chief; it should be able to help everyone.

"Well, if I want to send it back, I need to ask other adventurers for help through the Adventurer's Guild."

Thinking of this, Enri's heart tightened; she really couldn't rest easy handing so much money to someone else to send back, so she shook her head and muttered in a low voice:

"Forget it, I'll wait until Captain returns to the Kingdom and send the money back to the village myself."

Thinking of this.

A smile reappeared on Enri's face; she raised her head to look at Miss Cuiye and Captain in the room, a smile appearing on her fair, tender cheeks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, heavy knocking on the door rang out.

Enri, who was closest to the door, stood up and was the first to walk toward the entrance.
