Chapter 438: Ethan versus Spectral Race

Among the three Undead Races under the Green Corpse Emperor, the Skeleton Race has the largest numbers, as it was very easy to create them, whereas the Spectral Race has the fewest numbers because they are the most difficult to create.

But, due to their extraordinary battle prowess and unique skills to bypass barriers, the Corpse Emperor still created them.

Currently, there are around 10,000 Spectral Death Knights whose strength has reached the Nether Soul Realm, and they are the only ones who are participating in the war today.

It was because the Spectral Death Knights that were yet to reach the Nether Soul Realm were not allowed to leave the [City of Spectrals].

The Spectral Death Knights have unique skills and excellent battle prowess, but without sentience, they could not fully execute them; and to gain sentience, any Undead Being has to reach the Nether Soul Realm.

Moreover, since the Corpse Emperor had spent a lot to create them, he didn’t allow the Spectral Death Knights to go out of the [City of Spectrals] until they broke through to the Nether Soul Realm and awakened their sentience.

’It is revenge time.’

[Lightning Claw]

It is common knowledge that lightning-type attacks are super effective against Undead Beings.

Ethan had personally dealt with some Undead Skeletal Generals in the past on his own under the supervision of the Ancient Treant Guardian.

Thus, as soon as he boosted his battle prowess by 550 percent, Ethan used one of his Special Skills and swiped at the incoming Spectral Beings.

’Slash’

’Swiish’

With that slash, Ethan killed six Spectral Death Knights, which pleasantly surprised him.

’Looks like the Lightning-type attacks are even more effective on the Spectral Beings like Spectral Death Knights.’

Not only was Ethan’s battle prowess boosted, but thanks to the Lightning-type bloodline, all his Lightning Attacks would deal additional damage.

But still... seeing how easily he killed six Nether Soul Realm Spectral Death Knights, Ethan could not help but be surprised.

[Killed six Spectral Death Knights, and received 60,000 Life Points]

At the same time, through his Heavenly Talent: Heaven’s Virtue, Ethan received Life Points.

’Huh? Only 60,000 Life Points? Are you kidding?’

Previously, when he was killing the Undead Skeletal Generals, he was receiving a million Life Points each, whereas the Spectral Death Knight with similar strength of a Nether Soul Realm was giving him only 10,000 Life Points each.

So, how could he not be shocked about it?

[Inside the Stronghold, due to the rich Life Essence, the Undead Beings’ battle prowess is suppressed by 50 percent]

[Considering that there is no difficulty for the host in destroying the Spectral Death Knights, the [Heaven’s Virtue] is rewarding fewer Life Points]

’What?’

Ethan already knew about the 50 percent suppression on the Spectral Death Knights because his own Undead Avatar received that suppression.

It was also because of this reason that Ethan was confident in killing the Spectral Death Knights inside the Stronghold.

However, he was not expecting that the suppression of the Spectral Death Knights would decrease his earnings.

[The host can go out of the Stronghold and kill the Spectral Death Knights to earn the full Life Points]

’...’

Seeing that sudden system notification, Ethan was speechless for a moment before saying, ’System, you have a nice sense of humour.’

There was no reply from the system, and Ethan also didn’t think much and muttered, ’Forget it. Even with 10,000 Life Points per Spectral Death Knight, by killing 10,000 of them, I will get 100 million Life Points.’

If it were a dozen Spectral Death Knights, Ethan wouldn’t mind leaving the stronghold to test his battle prowess; however, there were more than 10,000 Spectral Death Knights outside the stronghold.

So, Ethan didn’t continue to let the Spectral Death Knights enter the Stronghold as he killed them with his Lightning Claws.

’It is very slow.’

After a few moments, Ethan killed more than a dozen Spectral Death Knights; however, the rate at which they were entering the stronghold was slow.

Also, if things continued at this speed, then his boosts from the Bloodline and the special Skill would disappear.

’Looks like I should become a bit bold.’

In the next second, he shared his thoughts with the Ancient Heartwood Tree, "Why don’t you help the Spectral Death Knights and widen the hole in the Ancient Greenheart Barrier?"

[Live Status: Surprised: Hero, are you sure?]

"Yes. Make it big enough for 100 Spectral Death Knights to enter the stronghold per minute."

Ethan gave the instructions to the Ancient Heartwood Tree.

[Live Status: Absolute Faith: Hero, I executed your order. Now, I will return to assisting the Ancient Treant Guardians]

’Swoosh’

As the opening in the barrier widened, the Spectral Death Knights surged in like a tide of black mist and gleaming ghostfire, their deathly auras crashing against the vibrant life force inside the stronghold.

’KILL!’

Ethan roared, leaping into the swarm like a bolt of lightning incarnate.

[Lightning Claw]

’Boom’

His claws crackled with violent arcs of azure lightning, tearing through the Spectral Death Knights with terrifying force.

’Slash’

’CRACKLE’

’BZZZZT’

In a flash, a dozen Spectral Death Knights were shredded to pieces, their ghostfire fading into the life-rich winds of the stronghold, leaving behind pitch-black bodies.

Their bodies, though spectral, surprisingly left behind corpses.

However, thinking about it, Ethan was not surprised because, according to his Heavenly Talent, these Spectral Death Knights’ hearts could help the Ancient Heartwood Tree in its recovery.

’Maybe, defeating the Green Corpse Emperor might not be a difficult thing.’

Maybe it was his killing spree of the Spectral Death Knights or the Spectral Death Knights’ Hearts that he could feed the Ancient Heartwood Tree, Ethan’s confidence in winning the war against the Green Corpse Emperor was steadily increasing.

Corpses began piling up.

In less than five minutes, there were dozens of corpse mountains piled around Ethan.

Another good thing, other than the hearts, was the Life Points that Ethan received for killing them.

[+10,000 Life Points]

[+10,000 Life Points]

...

The notifications kept flashing. Ethan didn’t even bother to check anymore, but it didn’t stop him from feeling excited.

’Good. Just keep coming... I’ll kill all of you.’

He grinned madly, his body swollen with power from [Fiery Python Rage], muscles bulging beneath his robes, lightning dancing across his body like a divine beast had awakened.

Minutes passed.

Corpses kept piling up. Even with their numbers, they couldn’t touch Ethan.

His speed was too fast. His power was too high. His lightning was simply too effective.

And soon, except for around 100 strongest Spectral Death Knights who were waiting outside, including Great Spectral Eaden, the remaining 10,000 were all massacred.

[+100,000,000 Life Points earned]

This was Ethan’s earnings from killing all the Spectral Death Knights, and adding his previous savings, Ethan had close to 500 Million Life Points.

’I am halfway to completing my latest goal of accumulating 1 billion Life Points.’

Ethan panted lightly, his aura raging like a storm as he checked his Life Points with excitement.

He then looked at the last remaining Spectral Death Knights outside the Stronghold with narrowed eyes.

’These 101 must be the strongest of the Spectral Death Knights.’

Although he could not see their information, Ethan could tell they were the strongest Spectral Death Knights with a strength of Peak Nether Soul Realm. Correct content is on

’Especially that biggest Spectral Death Knight standing in the rear... I am sure he might be the leader of the Spectral Race just like Eduart.’

The stronger the Spectral Death Knights, the bigger their size, with the strongest Spectral Death Knight, Eaden, being three meters.

Because of their size, the less powerful Spectral Death Knights had an easier time entering the stronghold through the hole in the barrier.

"Why don’t you come in?" he coldly asked, wiping blood and ash from his face.

He was confident because no matter how strong they were, with a 50 percent reduction in their battle prowess and adding the power from his boost, they could be easily killed.

Moreover, in a minute or two, his special boosts would disappear, and when that happened, there was no way he could destroy them even with the 50 percent suppression.

Therefore, he asked them to enter the stronghold and taste his claws.

"Sure."

’Swiish’

To his surprise, Great Spectral Eaden nodded and rushed into the stronghold with the remaining hundred Spectral Death Knights without any hesitation.

’Swoosh’

They all entered.

’Why did they come so willingly? That doesn’t feel right.’

Seeing that, Ethan frowned.

Still, there was no backing down now for him as he entered into action again.

’[Lightning Claw], one more time!’

’CRACK’

’BOOM’

The lightning flashed, burning the next wave into nothingness.

Five fell. Then ten. Then twenty. Correct content is on

His claws danced like thunder through fog as he killed almost all of them without any surprise.

Then it happened.

Among the last five Spectral Death Knights, the aura of the leader intensified—Great Spectral Eaden had finally stepped forward.

He wasn’t like the other Spectral Death Knights.

His armour was darker, his ghostflame eyes more sinister, and his blade was longer, pulsing with deathly runes.

But Ethan didn’t stop.

With a snarl, he dashed forward and pierced Eaden’s chest, lightning exploding inside his ghostly form.

’CRACK’

Great Spectral Eaden’s ghostly body trembled, cracks forming across his armour.

As Eaden’s ghostflame eyes faded, a twisted grin curled across his spectral face.

"Human..." Eaden rasped, his voice a warped echo that chilled the air. "Do you really think... You killed us? KEKE."

’Thud’

As soon as he finished his words, his corpse fell to the ground like any other Spectral Death Knight’s corpse.

’What?’

On the other hand, when he heard those words, Ethan felt something cold creep up his spine.

A bad premonition bloomed deep in his chest.

’Swiish’

In the next second, Great Spectral Eaden’s corpse shone brightly.

’Boom’

And in the next second, it exploded, releasing extremely thick and pure Death Essence.

[The Great Spectral Knight Eaden has used his special skill [Special Corpse Explosion] and exploded his corpse, releasing Special Death Essence into the stronghold]

[The Ancient Heartwood Tree’s Lifespan has decreased by 100 years]

’What? 100 years of lifespan gone just like that?’

Looking at the system notifications, Ethan was shocked because he was not expecting that Great Spectral Eaden would have a special corpse explosion skill.

’Damn it... I was careless. I should have.....’

Ethan cursed himself.

’Swiish’

Before he could finish blaming himself, he saw the mountains of Spectral Death Knight’s corpses piled around him, and they started shining just like how the Great Spectral Eaden’s corpse shone before exploding.

’H-how... is it possible? How can they activate the skill even after dying? Don’t tell me this is what that Great Spectral was speaking about.’

’Boom’

’Boom’

Soon, all corpses started exploding as system notifications rang in Ethan’s head regarding the loss of the Ancient Heartwood Tree’s Lifespan.
