Chapter 53: The Eerie Royal Corpse
Indeed, the bloodstains scattered throughout this main building are ough to prove the massacre that the monster inflicted upon the palace.
The Skeletal Abominations outside couldn't get in, so the monster that attacked must still be lurking within.
One must understand, anything from the Land of the Dead is of an eternal kind, meaning that monster is definitely not dead yet!
Both Medusa and Little Gre had grave expressions. If this were true, just how powerful had the monster grown over countless years?
They waited for a while, but the monster did not appear.
"Regardless, let's head to the node in the main hall first. We can explore this place later." Charles pondered aloud.
The group of returned dead in the Sere Forest cannot be ignored. If they reach a certain level of existce and op up the boundary to the Land of the Dead...
Just thinking about the bone dragons and liches that could blot out the sky made Charles's scalp tingle.
If that day truly arrived, not only would all the Overlords here be completely transformed, but ev Charles and his group would be left with only one brood chamber, starting a large-scale death race across realms!
Yes, once the boundary betwe the Land of the Dead and the Contint of Overlord aligns, it won't just be like this isolated kingdom. It would be a monumtal evt for the tire Land of Turmoil!
Hearing this, the two wom followed Charles out. They had no particular attachmt to this ruin, once this situation was resolved, their master would sd the Zerg army to sweep through this place anyway.
They walked slowly along the previous wall, the clear sound of their footsteps causing a slight unease in their hearts.
Wh they had come earlier, the monsters outside the gate had be incessantly pounding on the door, creating quite a racket.
But now?
It was too quiet.
Had the monsters outside left?
Charles felt a bit uneasy, and his steps instinctively grew lighter.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Wh the tire vironmt became utterly silt, ev breathing produced distinct sounds, let alone an tire crowd.
They were getting closer and closer to the teleportation node, now just a corner away from the main hall.
Suddly, a gre poison scre stretched across that corner, and countless hideous monsters rushed into it, turning into pus one by one.
Naturally, it was Little Gre who acted, a hint of disdain on her slightly childlike face.
They wer't stupid, the chaotic noise clearly indicated that the monsters had already gott in.
Trying to ambush from behind... not quite as clever as she was!
The monsters dropped their pretse and attacked Charles and his group from four directions, taking advantage of the terrain.
The stch filled the tire hall, and more undead creatures kept pouring in from outside the gate, while the teleportation node was situated right behind a gigantic, fat monster.
Charles frowned and glanced at his data eye.
[Royal Corpse]
[Race: Undead]
[Combat Power: Mid-Tier Rank Four]
[Skills: Undead Wail, Hammer of the Dead, Infernal Whisper, Blood Field]
[Description: A terrifying corpse demon that has devoured the bloodline of an tire royal family and merged with the fate of a kingdom...]
But in the next momt, a dark beam shot out from the shadowy domain, striking the corpse demon directly.
The demon's eyes shifted from violt and cruel to dazed and confused. Instinctively, it swung its Hammer of the Dead at its own head with full force.
Bang!
Brains splattered everywhere, and the once terrifying corpse demon fell by its own hand in the d.
Seeing this, Charles wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
That dark beam was a mtal technique researched by Catherine, specifically designed to target these undying undead creatures.
The destructive intt carried by the Hammer of the Dead—he had bet on it working to kill the creature!
He had set up this scario for so long just to sure that the demon's highest single-target damage skill would hit itself.
It seemed to have worked.
Otherwise, relying solely on activating the Overlord bloodline and gaging in hand-to-hand combat would have be too unpredictable.
This must be why Eve said that mages are so revered—avoid close combat whever possible!
Seeing that the corpse demon wouldn't be getting up anytime soon, Charles glanced over at the two wom.
He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Little Gre was perched at the trance on a chair made of toxic fumes, casually waving her hand to mow down waves of undead creatures.
Large-scale AoE skills wer't limited to the poison scre. As the Celestial Poison Empress, Little Gre had no shortage of wide-area attacks.
And Medusa? She had be skirting the edge of Charles's battle with the corpse demon, ready to use Serpt Emperor's Shadow to swallow the demon whole at any momt.
Medusa was reliable, Little Gre was just too playful.
"Master, watch out!" Medusa's sudd warning made Charles instinctively dodge a massive hammer strike.
The undead's power was formidable, but its decaying, foul stch was impossible to hide.
To Charles's surprise, the corpse demon was still not dead and didn't ev seem to be seriously injured.
This thing was insanely tough!
At that momt, Medusa transformed into Serpt Emperor's Shadow, swiping the demon far away with her tail.
She had no choice, her currt peak combat strgth was that of a high-tier Rank Three. Ev with some tricks, she could only barely reach low-tier Rank Four.
Rank Three was just too weak, making it impossible to use her Rank Sev abilities!
"Master, I just used Serpt Emperor's Shadow to convert destructive force into a powerful push. That thing won't be back for a while. Let's quickly return to the node and continue exploring later." Medusa urged anxiously, rushing to Charles's side after her successful strike.
She had witnessed the battle and understood the terrifying defse of the corpse demon. Ev her tail swipe hadn't harmed it!
Perhaps her master could wear it down over a few hours with the Overlord's spear, but the priority now was to return to the Sere Forest and report everything.
Th... mobilize the tire Zerg army, harness the power of the Observers, and unite all Overlords to annihilate every returned dead!
Only th could the ultimate d be averted.
Charles understood this. Though he was tempted to have a thrilling showdown with the corpse demon, there were more pressing matters...
They had to go back.
Glancing at Little Gre, who was still holding her own, he sighed, "Little Gre, we're heading back. Be careful, or we'll leave you behind."
