This black figure dressed in a dark golden robe was actually a skeleton. He had a weird skeleton staff in his hand and a silver crown on his head. The most conspicuous was the 2 blue lights in the skull like a burning ghost fire. It made one shudder.
Race: Corpse Necromancer King.
Comprehensive Strength Assessnt: S.
Physique: A-, power: A-, spirit: S , speed: A.
[Analysis]: (clone).
Among undead magic, the most common low level one was the magic of skull transformation which could transform skeletons into manipulable skeleton warriors, but there was also a higher level and more dangerous transformation magic that could transform the caster himself through secret dicines and rituals into the immortal undead magician which was the corpse necromancer.
It was not the first ti that Chen Rui had seen the corpse necromancer. His servant, Guradam, was a corpse necromancer. The undead legion led by him had played a very crucial role in several wars, but this was the first ti he had seen the higher-level “Corpse Necromancer King”.
Chen Rui knew that the corpse necromancer did not have a real body. The body in front of him was just a storage body. Therefore, there would be a label of “clone” on [Analytical Eyes]’s [Analysis]. Guradam once used projection to fool those treasure hunters in Paglio’s treasure vault.
The current situation was extrely precarious. The sea of resentful souls had surrounded Chen Rui and others. If they fought by force, their chances of winning were slim.
“Greetings to you, Your Highness Corpse Necromancer King.” Chen Rui thought swiftly and bowed to salute, “Your Highness’ welco ceremony is really impressive.
A shrilling voice sounded, “You should add great, supre and unique in front of ‘Your Highness’!”
It was not Corpse Necromancer King who spoke, but a green resentful soul beside him. The Comprehensive Strength Assessnt of this resentful soul was A . He was staring at Chen Rui fiercely as if this “guest” said the most unforgivable words in the world.
“Prinz.” The grim voice of King Corpse Necromancer King sounded. The green resentful soul, Prinz, shut up imdiately. His fierce expression instantly turned into incomparable sincerity and humility. The rapid change of facial expression made Chen Rui secretly stunned.
Corpse Necromancer King slowly floated forward. After looking at Chen Rui a few tis, his gaze turned to the treasure map with pale golden light in his hands. He said ghastly, “I like eyes with good eyesight. That will be the best material for specins. Maybe I can consider turning your skeleton into a work of art that will give you a ‘deeper’ impression. I can assure you that you will enjoy the whole process very much.”
Chen Rui noticed the Corpse Necromancer King’s gaze and ignored this threat. He just raised the treasure map calmly, “We were guided by the Sir Dark Dragon Emperor and ca here with great hardships. We passed the test of the Red Pipit and Sir Lotman along the way. I think we should be eligible to enjoy the treatnt of real guests.”
“Lowly fellow, don’t compare the great Royal Highness with those 2 incompetent creatures!” Prinz scread again.
Chen Rui understood that this Prinz was a character who reinforced the majesty of the villain, just like the old nationalistic movie, the pseudo-soldier who gave a thumbs up to the Japanese, and even added emotionally, “Great, truly great!” (A flattery complint)
“It seems that you forgot to add ‘Supre’ and ‘Unique’.” Chen Rui smiled slightly, but he cald down. The Corpse Necromancer King made such a big show. If he wants to start fighting, he can directly dispatch the resentful souls to besiege. He would not take so much effort.
Prinz was speechless for a while. Just as he was about to get mad, the 2 blue ghost fires in the eye sockets of King Corpse Necromancer King flickered more vigorously, “Although you are an ant, you are an interesting ant... Since you have the complete treasure map of Sir Dark Dragon Emperor, you are also considered qualified to enter the Tower of Destruction. Co with .”
After speaking, he turned around and drifted backward slowly. Prinz hurriedly followed. The whole sea of resentful souls separated to the sides to show the way.
It turns out that the white tower is called the Tower of Destruction. Chen Rui and the Dark Elental King looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. I expected a fierce battle, but I didn’t expect to pass so easily?
Although it was unexpected, it seed to be the best result. If they really fought, apart from Chen Rui and the Dark Elental King who might have special life-saving thods, the rest, including Strena and Helor, would hardly survive.
The 2 quickly exchanged glances. Chen Rui bowed and said, “Thank you, Your Highness King Corpse Necromancer.”
“My na is Glorios. Maybe you can call Lich King.” The corpse necromancer floating in front said without looking back.
Lich King? This title surprised a certain crossover otaku- Are you sure your na is Glorios and not... Arthas?
Okay, this is the Demon Realm. Let’s continue walking all the way to the west... Uh, to the White Tower.
To Chen Rui’s surprise, their speed was obviously much slower than before, but the distance of Tower of Destruction was rapidly getting closer. It was as if they reached in just tens of minutes although the journey would initially take dozens of days to arrive.
Obviously, this was a kind of strange power of “shrinking the ground into an inch”. Perhaps the initial road was only this far away, but Chen Rui and the others were caught in a strange and completely different “rule” because of the power of the territory kingdom. If it weren’t for the appearance of the Lich King, perhaps they would never be able to reach the real white tower.
The appearance of the Tower of Destruction gradually beca clear. This was a huge all-white obelisk. When he looked closely, he could see a strange blood-colored texture. The closer he got, the more he could feel the suffocating and suppressing breath as if this obelisk was a tall god whom he needed to worship.
There was only 1 passage in front of the huge obelisk surrounded by nurous statues. Many of these statues were ard with weapons, glowing with dark black tal luster. They looked hideous and lifelike. The statues spread all the way to the entrance of the obelisk like a guard legion.
The largest statue, which seed to be the leader, was stationed at the gate of the obelisk.
“Dark Iron Mystic Ghost?” The Dark Elental King frowned as he glanced at these statues.
Chen Rui had heard from Tetenis that the Dark Iron Mystic Ghost had powerful combat power. It was made of secret spells and special materials which gave it the characteristic of greatly reducing the physical and magic damage they receive. Not only that, the Dark Iron Mystic Ghost could also shield the detection of spirit sensing, so it was difficult to sense the strength of its combat power.
Unlike the lamp spirits and crystal beasts, which had a certain subjective consciousness, the Dark Iron Mystic Ghost was a war machine without emotions. It was similar to the gargoyle that Chen Rui encountered at the Mountain Seckred or the goldman made by Zola, but its power was a world’s difference.
There were hundreds of thousands of Dark Iron Mystic Ghost guards. They were all silent like statues. However, once they were activated, the intruder would encounter a terrifying attack.
“As expected of the king of the dark elent, you recognized these toys at a glance.” Lich King Glorios obviously could easily see through the identity of the Dark Elental King. “Everyone, the treasure of Sir Dark Dragon Emperor is inside. You can go in now.”
Just go in like this? Surrounded by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts? Almost everyone showed a vigilant expression.
“Your Highness Lich King.” Chen Rui said, “Can I take it as once we enter this passage, we will be violently attacked by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts?”
“You said it yourself.” Glorios let out a sinister laugh. The golden robe on his body was moving without wind. “Let tell you so interesting news first. You should have already encountered the simple-minded octopus and that guy who scared people with mist previously. The souls they obtained have been transported via a certain channel to this place where all the valuable souls in the nearby sea area are gathered here. They are burned by the phantom fire every few days and can’t escape. They can only hate constantly in the endless torture, so this place is called the Land of Hatred!”
No wonder there are no living creatures along the way. All the creatures in the vast sea have been turned into the undead! The undead ship, deep-sea skeleton beasts, resentful souls... Chen Rui felt horrified while Strena couldn’t help grasping the 6 scimitars in her hands.
The Lich King continued nonchalantly, “You currently have 3 choices. First, enter the obelisk directly from the passage surrounded by the Dark Iron Mystic Ghosts. Of course, I can’t guarantee what will happen. Second, stay here and beco a mber of the Land of Hatred like them. I believe that before you beco like them, they will be happy to enjoy the long-awaited blood and flesh. Unfortunately, you have too few people. It’s not enough to fill their stomach...”
Glorios pointed his finger at the sea of resentful souls. Although the sea of resentful souls was filled with boundless resentnt and hatred, when they were pointed at by the craggy bone finger, they showed expressions of fear and retreated. There were also many resentful souls who showed salivating expressions when facing Chen Rui and the others.
“The last choice is to play a ga with . If you can beat , you are considered to pass the final test. I can let you pass this passage safely.”
Sure enough, this third obstacle was not so easy to pass.
The Dark Elental King pondered for a mont. He took the lead to speak up, “Tell about your ga first.”
“It’s very simple.” Lich King’s figure floated to a strange round table near the passage. This round table was large with a black statue holding a scythe in the middle and various strange patterns nearby.
“The magic card ga, ‘Fate Showdown’.”
Fate Showdown? It was the first ti Chen Rui heard of this ga. It is even a magic card ga?
“Fate Showdown? Very old ga.” Hegel seed to be familiar with it, “How do you want to play?”
“Aweso. It seems that the Dark Elental King is also a fan.” The blue lights in Glorios’ eye sockets shone brilliantly, “You are a guest. There are 3 ways to play: Victory Race, Spectacular War, and Death Ga. You can choose any of them. How about the best of 3?”
The red light in Hegel’s eyes flashed, “However, I want to figure out how we can guarantee the fairness of this ga in your kingdom?”
Glorios seed to be very interested in this kind of magic card, “We can sign a soul contract based on your soul level, then you shouldn’t have to worry about cheating with a contract.”
Hegel thought about it for a while, and he slowly nodded, “Okay! Since it’s the best of 3, then let’s play 1 match for each ga. If... you can hold on to the third ga.”
“Your Highness Hegel is so confident. I’m more and more interested in the following ga now.” Glorios let out a ghastly laugh, “However, everything has a price. The bargaining chip of this gambling ga is you and all your partners’ lives. I don’t know if the King Royal Highness has this courage?”
“Life and death match? Very good,” Hegel gave a deep smile, “Since you want the life of an Elental King, then you should also give your life as a bargaining chip.”
“As you wish, if I lose, not only will you enter the Tower of Destruction, but my life is also yours.” Glorios seed to smile more happily, but the skull face looked terrifying no matter how one looked at it, “As a true fan of magic cards, I can’t wait to look forward to the exciting match that cos.”
“Wait a minute, the dark elentals’ partners will only be the dark elentals.” Hegel pointed at Chen Rui and others arrogantly, “It doesn’t include these guys who just use each other.”
This sentence made Strena’s facial expression change suddenly. She said back in retaliation, “This is also what I want to say. The naga tribe also won’t entrust our lives to people whom we don’t trust. I would rather choose – Aguile.”
The rest of the nagas and water elentals also nodded. Glorios looked at the nagas and water elentals’ focus, Chen Rui with interest. His smile was even more strange. “It seems that there is also an interesting ga between both of you. Maybe my fun will last longer later.”
“Provided if your life can last until that mont.” Hegel said coldly.
Glorios smiled and didn’t talk more about this statent. He and Hegel walked to the round table and sat down face to face. “Before signing the contract and the start of the ga, I will remind you one last ti, the loser will lose his own life and soul. Even if you are an Elental King, at this table where the Land of Hatred’s Rule power is condensed, you are not exempted from the punishnt from failing. Perhaps your soul can override the rule, but your elental heart will rupture. You can only spend a lot of effort and ti to regenerate.”
“If that’s the case, even if you have the power of the kingdom, your soul essence in the life box will disappear too once you fail?”
“Of course!” A strange symbol appeared at Lich King Glorios’ fingertip and flew toward Hegel. Hegel did the sa. The 2 symbols combined and interacted in the air. After reaching a mutually satisfactory clause, it turned into a contract with both their nas before disappearing imdiately.
After the contract was successfully signed, a large number of mists appeared from the round table’s pattern, faintly glowing with pale golden light. The statue in the center seed to beco alive, and its body beca hazy. It was wearing a black cloak with a long black scythe in its hand. When the scythe pointed, a stack of strange playing cards appeared on the table.
The material of these cards was very special. The exquisite patterns on the back looked like the sun and the moon. The edges were glowing with pale gold patterns, emanating a majestic and mysterious breath.
TL: A card ga? This is really unexpected. Is Hegel playing first to give so guides to Chen Rui? Or am I overthinking?
