An hour ago.
Shattered Isles, so distance hundreds of kiloters from Black Mountain.
Death Knight Ulysses opened his eyes, "The young king has finally appeared."
"Hmm?"
He sensed that shortly after the young king arrived, he directly headed towards a specific direction.
There was the front line Battle Zone of the Tai Xuan Alliance's human forces.
What was this young ruler going to do there?
Death Knight puzzled.
He certainly was aware that the humans were at war with Dragon Sleep Valley.
Their kind, the Undead, were naturally the opposite of any tainted life and Dragon Sleep Valley was one of their greatest enemies.
The occasional legendary monster he encountered would be easily eliminated, but that was all.
The Undead and humans were clearly distinct.
If it were not for the Catastrophe of Corruption, Undead, Elves, Elentals, Orcs, Giant Dragons... all would be hostile.
The Death Knight ignoring the humans that appeared within his field of vision was already a great rcy. He would never possibly rescue unrelated humans.
Besides, the forces of Dragon Sleep Valley were extrely strong, and there was a High Hunting Duke stationed in this region.
The Ice Burial Duke was not much weaker than him.
He also had his own mission.
Figuring out how to persuade the young king to return was what he needed to do.
The life or death of humans was none of his concern.
However, what that young ruler intended to do was very much his concern.
Death Knight followed.
He saw over a thousand legendary monsters harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth, fiercely assaulting the human Battle Zone.
He saw waves of monstrous creatures surge, reminiscent of the past Undead Cataclysm.
He saw the emblem of disaster, a several-thousand-ter Disaster Beast, roaring and trembling.
He also saw, commanding the army of Dragon Sleep Valley, a top-tier powerhouse who had swallowed up the body of a Frost Giant Dragon and wielded the concepts of frost and demise, the formidable Ice Burial Duke.
"Ice Burial..."
Death Knight murmured.
The murmur grew from soft to loud, filled with astonishnt and confusion.
He saw the young ruler traversing the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, his sword pointing at that very top-tier powerhouse he must treat with caution—The Ice Burial Duke.
"Is the young king's target the Ice Burial Duke?"
"But why would he set out to oppose the Ice Burial Duke? Why would he harbor such firm and intense intent to kill?"
Eliminating the Ice Burial Duke was necessary, no matter what difficulties or dangers lay ahead.
This intense intent to kill seed to be conveying just that.
The concept of death in the universe was also resonating with such a strong will.
But why?
Cold silver-white Bone Wings, fearso skeletal remains, and a Soul Fla burning quietly...
Seeing such a form, Death Knight suddenly understood.
"It's because of the Frost Giant Dragon."
"Once noble and proud, the Supre Frost Dragon Overlord is now nothing but a shell of a tainted creature."
"This is a desecration."
"He shall not allow such violation."
"He will personally ensure that the Supre Frost Dragon Overlord, who fell many years ago, shall return to dust, allowing the forr overlord to be completely liberated."
Even though the Ice Burial Duke was incredibly powerful,
even though he was just a newly born young Legendary Life,
he still would not retreat.
For he was the king of the Undead.
That is what a king is!
At that mont, the Death Knight suddenly understood the gap between himself and the king.
The gap in will, the gap in conviction.
He could better understand why his own Great Lord always said, "Only with the appearance of a king is there a possibility of the revival of the Undead." Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
The Death Knight had now fully acknowledged this king.
However...
His expression was solemn.
"No matter how powerful a Legendary Life is, a re young king cannot possibly defeat a seasoned Law Realm master,"
The gap between the Soul Realm and the Law Realm was imnsely exaggerated.
The king indeed had taken control of concepts, and his power had also astounded him.
Yet the Death Knight believed that defeating the young king would not be difficult for him, it was just not as simple to capture him alive. He was also not willing to force a young king now.
The king acted for his reasons.
He could only try his best to understand and follow the thought process.
The Death Knight pondered secretly, his gaze firmly fixed on the distance.
...
"Boom—"
The Giant Human of Deathremains, with Heaven and Earth shaking force, grasped the not-so-vast body of the Ice Burial Duke with both hands and brutally smashed him to the ground.
The ice, imbued with a concept of sturdiness, cracked and shattered.
The thick layer of ice brought even more damage to the Ice Burial Duke as he was brutally smashed underground. The giant, larger even than a Disaster Beast, continued to pound with punch after punch.
The ground continuously caved in, sending a tsunami-like shockwave that flung all surrounding creatures airborne.
Legendary creatures withered, crumbled, and perished on the spot in the aftermath.
Suddenly,
Crack, crack, crack—
Frosty silver ice erged on the arms of the Giant Human of Deathremains and continuously gathered upward.
The freezing ice froze half of the giant's body, and beneath the power of the freezing, concepts of Decline continued to erge.
Frost births Decline, Decline births Frost, an endless cycle of Frost and Decline!
"Freeze! Wither! Shatter!"
The Ice Burial Duke glared furiously.
Crack—
The ice shattered, but the massive bony arm of the Skeletal Giant did not break along with the ice.
It was sturdier than the most durable object in the world.
This was the concept of sturdiness!
It itself also symbolized Quiet Annihilation, and the similar types of Decline concepts barely affected it much.
But taking advantage of the mont the ice froze the giant, the Ice Burial Duke still broke free from the constraints, again rising high above, his eyes level with the giant.
"A new Law Realm Undead?"
"So what?"
Indeed, the Ice Burial Duke truly excelled in Decline, but that was definitely not his only skill in Decline.
