From across the holographic screen, Duanmu Xinqings beaming smile greeted . Yahoo~ Now, this is a rare sight. Ke, you actually called your aunty Xinqing are flowers going to bloom on palm trees now?
She teased ruefully.
A Xinqing, Ive been really busy lately you know why
Yes, yes. But, Ke, its rude of you to address your aunty by her na like that. Rember to add on the aunty next ti. Duanmu Xinqing gave her signature teasing smile. But your aunty is a little happy that you addressed her by her na. Right, Ke, when are you coming ho? Your aunty misses you so, and my precious daughter, too, of course.
Ive already located the mastermind behind this virus. I will go back when Im finished dealing with him. I avoided answering her directly.
However, she could already see that sothing was up, especially given that I had deliberately kept a distance from her this past month.
Ke, are you trying to avoid us?
No not at all.
Theres no need to repeat yourself. Your aunty might always have her head buried in so research, but she still has eyes. Duanmu Xinqing did not press the issue, but a sigh escaped her lips. Ke, your aunty does not know what is troubling you, but she hopes that you understand that we will always be behind you.
Mhm.
Her decision not to pursue the matter relieved greatly, but seeing as there wasnt much to say at that point, I quickly cut off the feed, spread my wings, then took off towards the skyscraper.
After a full month of stewing, the city was a giant graveyard, if said graveyard did not bother to bury the dead. Technically, I had a special thod of blocking out this stench, else I would have gone mad from the sll.
I zipped through the dead city, the streets sohow felt even quieter than usual. Barring the usual mindless zombie straggler, there werent any other undead, like those skeletal beasts, to be found anywhere. I wouldnt be surprised if Karlston had just decided to recall any undead that showed any modicum of power. But that also ant that he had been monitoring , and knew that I was about to knock on his door.
As expected, I spotted a horde of skeletal beasts waiting for at the doorstep of the forr Life Unbound Biotechs headquarters. Flying skeletons, crawling skeletons, even tunnelling skeletons. They were all there.
Nether fla lioness.
That familiar gate of flas appeared on command; a blackish-red lioness rushed out a second later in a shower of dancing flas. And as I started to descend, the lioness caught on its back, but its nether flas did not hurt in the slightest. In fact, it protected from any potential danger I could face.
Dive into them.
The lioness acknowledged the command, opening up with a blistering barrage of nether fla spheres, following which it dove right into the horde.
Any undead that dared to take a hit from these fla balls were instantly dealt a severe blow, often having their limbs vaporised in the process. The shockwave from the impact alone was enough to blow away countless lesser skeletons in the vicinity. The skies above darkened from the sheer rain of bones falling down upon the pavent, heralding my climatic entrance.
Yet before I could step through the door, a surge of mana ca emanating from deep beneath the ground.
Another enemy? I guess I shouldnt be surprised that Karlston would have an undead hideout beneath . Typical villain.
Before that, however, there was still this horde to deal with. Even so, these undead were nothing but leaves to the hurricane that was my nether fla lioness.
I quickly made my way to the focal point of this mana emanation. It was a pitch-black room, spacious, and bearing an odd-slling black pool in the center. A blood pool would have been the more appropriate term, given that there was no way an undead villain like Karlston would soak in water. Plus, there was a faint outline of a corpse floating in that pool. The room itself was airtight, creating that pungent sll that hit like a truck.
My nether fla lioness wasnt one for entering through the front door, thus we smashed through the floorboards, landing in a similarly dramatic fashion as before.
Towards my explosive entry, Karlston was less than impressed. He was seated on a bony throne in the middle of that blood pool, left hand wielding a bony staff that seed to almost quiver at my presence Seems like our undead boss is a little tense.
Or maybe its just my overwhelming presence -more like Fertiniers
I jumped off the comfy back of the nether fla lioness and glared quietly at the black-robed skeleton. Its ti we settle this debt.
That we should. His staff shook a little as he slowly raised it in preparation for what seed like a spell. But it will be your debt that we collect on.
Even though I was incensed by the re existence of this nesis of mine, I actually had sothing to ask him. A pity he wasnt in the mood for talking at all.
I mustnt let him cast his spell so easily
Against a mage, the tried and tested thod was always to just charge him and give him a good beating. Which I did. I flipped onto my lioness once more and broke into a blistering charge.
Land of the dead overturn the wheel of reincarnation feast of the souls
Thats a forced teleportation spell, Exile. It can throw another person into a separate dinsion. Useful, but the side effects are severe, thus its categorization as a forbidden spell. In all likelihood, hes trying to kick you out of Gaia, that greedy ******* is planning to keep this treasure trove all for himself.
A forced teleportation?! No! I cant let him get this spell off.
Karlston quickly finished his chant as I rode my nether fla lioness swiftly into him.
However, my desperate attack was suddenly interrupted when countless bone spears pierced through the ceiling and ground in a pincer attack.
My first instinct was to dodge, but with my nether fla lioness protecting , I ca to the conclusion that even that was unnecessary.
Yet all it took was that single second of hesitation as Karlston managed to cast his spell. There was only a ter separating us. Our eyes t in a storm of murderous intent
But amidst that overbearing emotion, there was calmness. His spell had been completed, and this whole sequence of events seed to have been planned by him. All that was needed now was that final chant
Tear down the void of space Exile!
Its too late we ssed up
At that point, everything went black. All I could rember was Karlston finishing his chant, at which point the black pool of blood gushed upwards into a massive array.
Dont worry, little brother, your Big Sis will protect you
Those were the last words I heard
