Chapter 321: Khajiit

Corpse Pit.

Pfft—Pfft—

Khajiit lay in the corpses with dull eyes and dilated pupils, his heart beating slowly.

The sky-high stench emitted by the rotting corpses around him and the huge roar of magic collisions coming from outside were ignored by Khajiit.

With so many rotting corpses, there should logically be a large number of mosquitoes and flies, yet there wasn't a single insect in this area because the negative energy here was too dense.

Any life entering here would only be corroded!

His already skeletal body now had only a thin layer of skin left.

Khajiit's eyes were gradually covered by a layer of gray.

Dying again?

Consciousness gradually became blurred. The erosion of negative energy had already left his body riddled with holes, and the so-called becoming an undead was impossible to succeed.

In a trance.

A gentle, blurred face appeared in Khajiit's remaining consciousness.

Who is it?

Can't see clearly at all.

So familiar.

、

、、、

So... it's Mother.

、、、、

Darkness completely engulfed him.

Boom—

The terrifyingly huge negative energy and death aura in the entire corpse pit, like water droplets falling into a hot oil pan, boiled and exploded completely, and then like a dragon sucking water, surged into Khajiit's body at a violent speed.

Khajiit's body was rapidly eroded. In the blink of an eye, his internal organs and skin disappeared completely, leaving only a skeleton frame.

The seemingly fragile bones, under the continuous infusion of negative energy, became solid and rugged at a very fast speed, transforming toward the body shape of some kind of beast.

Strands of pus-like yellow and green haze emerged from every bone, gradually wrapping around his whole body.

【Mother cannot be resurrected】

【Then let's drag all the living—into death together!】

"Roar!"

A self-talk seemingly from the abyss came from the corpse pit.

Having fled from the battlefield earlier.

The gray-robed mage, who feared the Dominion Authority Angel, was currently guarding near the corpse pit, focusing all his attention on the two figures fighting high in the sky.

"Ahahaha, worthy of being the Alliance Leader."

"To be able to counter such a powerful angel, this is no different from the Demon Gods of 200 years ago."

The gray-robed mage was full of worship:

"No, the legendary 13 Heroes might not even be as powerful as the Alliance Leader!"

Suddenly.

The gray-robed mage felt a chill all over his body, widening his eyes and looking behind him.

Click!

Crack!

The sound of bones rubbing gradually came from the depths of the corpse pit, becoming clearer and clearer.

An undead beast, nearly two meters tall, with its whole body shining with green and yellow haze and looking like a horse, crawled out of the corpse pit.

"This is..."

The gray-robed mage's pupils shrank, his body trembling, and the thought of wanting to flee instantly appeared in his mind.

However!

His body couldn't move.

The gray-robed mage seemed to have been affected by some negative status, standing stiffly on the spot.

Invisible fluctuations surged from this undead.

Bang!

The gray-robed mage rolled his eyes, his life aura dissipated, and he turned into a corpse and fell to the ground, kicking up a circle of dust.

This powerful magic caster who had stepped into the "Heroic Realm" and belonged to the national foundation in various countries, died silently.

In an instant!

The yellow-green haze undead's aura surged, shaking gently as it stepped over the gray-robed mage's corpse, heading toward the center of the battlefield.

There were a large number of living auras there; it wanted to bring death to everyone.

Above the sky.

The holy, huge figure and the magic caster were chasing and fighting in the air, leaving the humans and demi-humans on the ground stunned.

The scene before them.

Was enough to become part of an epic, allowing countless bards to sing about it.

One by one, priests and paladins looked up at the sky. Being able to witness all this with their own eyes, a feeling of luck actually arose in their hearts.

"God!"

"The legendary Demon Gods and 13 Heroes were probably just like this."

A priest in the 【Sunlight Scripture】, looking at the majestic and powerful figure of the highest-ranking angel, suddenly knelt on the ground, praying devoutly with both hands.

Captain Captain Nigen had been imprisoned by magic and couldn't dodge the "Pale Fire" magic attack, so he had died, but his corpse was barely protected by the members of the Scripture unit.

"Tang of 'Free Will'."

"This guy."

Kelart and Remedios had already converged, looking at each other in silence, but strange expressions were also shining in their eyes.

As the two geniuses of the Holy Kingdom, and the left and right hands of the first Holy Queen, both Kelart and Remedios were extremely proud people.

But at this very moment.

Kelart and the other knew clearly that the battle before them was not something they could intervene in, and they couldn't even assist.

"Kelart, that item..." Remedios suddenly spoke.

"No."

"Although its power is strong, it is not suitable for individual combat like this." Kelart hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"I didn't expect that the hope of everyone in this disaster caused by the undead would eventually be pinned on an adventurer."

Remedios looked at the sky, clenching the holy sword in her hand, then slowly loosening it, complex emotions rising in her heart.

Of the two powerful enemies, the "Death Knight" was indirectly destroyed by Tang Zheng, and now, even the Alliance Leader of the most terrifying 【Zuranon】 was also solved by this guy.

It was truly indescribable!

At this very moment.

Both humans and demi-humans were tightly focused on the battle high in the sky.

Everyone knew very clearly that whether the Dominion Authority Angel controlled by Tang Zheng could defeat the Alliance Leader would truly determine whether they could win.

"God, please bless Captain."

Enri clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She had never believed in God before, but at this moment, she hoped more than anything that the legendary God could descend.

Protect everyone, protect Captain.

Click...

The peculiar aura on Enri actually showed signs of gradually collapsing at this moment.

Just when everyone's nerves were tense—

Terrified panic came from the front of the demi-humans.

"What kind of undead is this!"

"Kill it."

"Why are you standing there motionless."

"…………"

"Dead, everyone died inexplicably!"

The panicked atmosphere quickly spread from the direction of the demi-humans, and the entire demi-human unit gradually became restless.

"Seven-Colored Scale" Lokosh and "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi, two of the Ten Greats, actually couldn't suppress this panicked emotion.

"How are these demi-humans..."

Hearing the movement from the front, Remedios showed anger and looked up. The next moment, her expression froze on her face.

Only to see.

A large number of demi-humans were falling to the ground one after another, like wheat being harvested, without any ability to resist.

And the cause of all this.

Was a skeletal undead, about two meters tall, looking like a horse-like beast, with its whole body emitting a pus-like yellow and green haze.

Wherever this undead passed, the demi-humans couldn't even resist, standing stiffly on the spot, and then dying without a breath.

A bizarre scene.

Caused a chill to rise in Remedios for no reason: "What is that!"

"Soul Eater?"

"Why, why is there a Soul Eater!" Kelart's light cyan pupils exploded, her fingertips trembling, almost screaming.

"Death Knight" and "Soul Eater" were both called legendary undead. Since she had to deal with the Death Knight, Kelart naturally flipped through the classics, so she indirectly understood another type of legendary undead.

This was an undead that greedily devoured the souls of the living. Legend had it that they had once appeared in an orc city in the central continent.

Causing the death of more than 100,000 people, turning the entire city into ruins, known as the "Silent City."

To counter this kind of monster, one needed at least the ability to cast Third Rank magic; otherwise, even looking directly at this monster was difficult, because the other party would spread a power called "Fear."

"Remedios..."

Kelart's neck was stiff.

"What's wrong?" Remedios drew her holy sword.

"Run!"

"Run quickly!" Kelart's face was pale. She turned around and roared loudly without any image:

"Paladin Corps, Priest Corps, everyone retreat!"

Remedios was stunned; she had never seen her sister so uncomposed.

The panicked emotion spread across the entire battlefield like a plague!

The demi-humans at the front, who were also the most numerous, collapsed first, fleeing toward the rear in unison.

Everywhere there were terrified screams.

The dust kicked up by the fleeing demi-humans, the human and demi-human corpses all over the ground, and the remains of undead that had been converted after dying long ago.

"Everyone..."

Enri stood on the spot at a loss, staring blankly at the chaotic, disordered, and panic-stricken battlefield before her.

Placed in the very center of the battlefield.

Enri suddenly felt that she had never been so small: "Life is really fragile."

"Enri, leave quickly!"

Witch Miss Cuiye rushed over from the rear, grabbing Enri's arm, wanting to take her away.

"No."

Enri gently pulled her arm away and suddenly smiled slightly: "Captain is still fighting, how can I leave."

"Captain won't be in danger..."

Witch Miss Cuiye spoke quickly, her eyes looking forward with terror; she could vaguely see the figure of the Soul Eater.

Wait!

Witch Miss Cuiye's heart suddenly jumped. She looked down at the palm that had been broken free. When did Enri become so strong?

"Miss Miss Cuiye, do you know, I just prayed to God most devoutly, but found that only my own voice responded to me."

Enri blinked, disappointment appearing in her dark brown pupils, but also a different kind of brilliance:

"I am just a farm woman from a border village."

"From the beginning, I knew how far the gap between me and Captain was."

Enri raised her palm, holding the chestnut-gold three-strand braid tied in front of her chest, looking up at the holy figure fighting in the sky, her eyes full of longing:

"But until now, I found that this gap is even beyond my imagination."

"Because those high-and-mighty nobles, the captains of the paladins, and legendary powerhouses like the demi-human Ten Greats are now only able to look up at the sky or flee..."

The anxious look on Witch Miss Cuiye's face grew more intense. She felt like she was going crazy now.

No!

It was Enri who was crazy.

What is this brat doing!

Looking at the demi-humans and humans fleeing for their lives around her, and the Soul Eater that had completely appeared in front of her vision, Witch Miss Cuiye was sweating coldly all over, wishing she could immediately abandon Enri and flee.

But if she did that!

Master would definitely kill her, and her sister's life would be gone too.

"What on earth are you doing!" Witch Miss Cuiye's voice became suppressed. She was now considering whether to violate Master's order, knock Enri unconscious, and take her away by force.

"I don't know..."

Enri muttered to herself, looking at the Soul Eater emitting yellow-green haze in her vision:

"I want to narrow the distance with Captain."

"I want to help Captain."

"I want..., everyone's life shouldn't end here."

Enri turned her head to look at the anxious Witch Miss Cuiye beside her, smiling and pursing her lips, with undried tears at the corners of her eyes:

"Miss Miss Cuiye, I think I can help."

Splash—

A gust of wind blew, blowing the dirty and slightly damaged hem of Enri's skirt.

Enri bent down and picked up a longsword from the ground.

Witch Miss Cuiye's pupils shrank inexplicably, and she took a step back.

Remedios and Kelart, who were retreating, looked at Enri and the other, who were standing in the center of the battlefield and remained motionless, their expressions stunned.

"What are those two doing? Are they crazy!"

Above the battlefield.

Tang Zheng and the Alliance Leader, who were fighting fiercely, also noticed the scene on the ground.

"Soul Eater? It actually succeeded!"

"Khajiit, hahaha, worthy of being my high disciple." The Alliance Leader was clearly a bit surprised, then let out a proud laugh.

"Priest, you have completely lost!"

"Do you know what that is? That is a Soul Eater, a legendary undead more terrifying than a Death Knight."

The Alliance Leader didn't miss any opportunity, speaking to strike a blow. He had already noticed that the Dominion Authority Angel's movements were slowing down, and the feathers of its wings showed signs of dissipating.

"Khajiit?"

He hadn't expected that the Alliance Leader had actually managed to create a Soul Eater. Listening to the other party, it seemed Khajiit had converted it.

If it really was a Soul Eater, then basically everyone present would have to die.

In the "Yggdrasil" game, it would probably take hundreds of hits from a Soul Eater to get an instant death, so the threat wasn't great, but in the Other World, the influence of this instant death aura was continuous.

The stronger the strength, the lower the probability of judgment, but without instant death resistance, once the judgment passed, death was certain.

Tang Zheng immediately controlled the Dominion Authority Angel, intending to give that Soul Eater a magic attack first.

"I won't let you succeed!"

The Alliance Leader, who had been suppressed all along, finally gained the initiative at this moment and immediately took action to stop him.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate!

In the center of the battlefield below.

Boom—

A brilliant white light suddenly condensed out of thin air.

Enri held an ordinary longsword with both hands, white light flickering in her brown pupils, as if talking to herself, or as if asking for something:

"Please, everyone, lend me your strength!"

Everyone?

Witch Miss Cuiye took another step back, subconsciously looking around.

Hum—Hum—

Shining brilliance, like dense fireflies, floated up from the battlefield, gathering from all directions toward the blade in Enri's hand.

The suddenly appearing scene made everyone's movements pause.

This white light was not the power of the holy attribute, but a pure "positive" attribute that no one had ever felt before.

"Enri? What on earth happened?" Tang Zheng was the most bewildered at this moment.

Hum—

The attribute panel vibrated.

【Discovered skill "Heroic Moment," requires special profession 【xxxxx】, current conditions... failed...】

【Skill information acquisition failed...】

【Skill information acquisition—"Heroic Moment": Borrow the power of fallen companions, temporarily gain physical attack attribute bonus, raised to the same level as the one with the highest physical attack value among the enemy and friendly sides】

【Do you want to consume 12 skill points to forcibly acquire this special profession?】

【Conditions for profession acquisition not met, when acquiring special profession—profession degradation】

【Reminder! This profession is a "Unique" profession】

【Please choose whether to take the job?】

Dense profession information appeared on the attribute panel.

"Enri... Hero profession..."

Tang Zheng was rarely silent. With just one thought, he could obtain this power.

A completely independent "Hero" special profession.

Through the information revealed on the attribute panel, Tang Zheng could clearly perceive the power contained in this special profession.

"Hero, huh."

Tang Zheng felt as if he had sensed a certain will contained in the profession in a trance, suddenly understanding a bit why Enri had obtained this profession, and knowing it incomparably clearly.

Relying on normal means, he would absolutely never be able to obtain this profession.

"Heroes" are never born strong, but are a kind of will and choice, a confidence from weak to strong!

This is Enri's own will and choice!

"Haha."

Tang Zheng, placed inside the body of the Dominion Authority Angel, suddenly laughed. Since crossing into this world, he had never been so sincerely happy.

It was like walking on a desolate road, and suddenly someone could keep up with his pace.

"It is a power that belongs to you, Enri." Tang Zheng smiled brilliantly:

"No."

【Job acquisition failed!】
