Chapter 2610: Chapter 2608: The Dilemma

Summoning such a vast Undead Legion can’t come without a cost, even for a terrifying Necromancer like Saifu.

Moreover, its main form should be very weak, with many strong presences around it.

The Black Dragon, Undead Knights, and Skeleton Archers, all these powerful forces are gathered around.

Ogre-Troll is only a second-level Demon Beast. If a Great war were to occur, the date should indeed be moved up; now should be the weakest moment for Saifu’s body.

Yvelise Ayers stared at the light point on the chessboard as it sank in, muttering to himself.

No, that’s not right.

Yvelise Ayers’ expression suddenly changed.

He took out a Returning God Dan and swallowed it down.

As the Divine Soul Power recovered, the chessboard kept changing in his hands, growing larger, blurring, and then becoming clear again in a certain place.

“Is it another outsider?”

Yvelise Ayers’s expression became somewhat grave as a faint aura suddenly melded into the chessboard, and with the entry of that aura.

The entire chessboard suddenly turned pitch black, countless black pieces covered the entire board, and there were no white pieces to be found above.

A dead end.

Yvelise Ayers’s face changed drastically, retreating almost without hesitation.

Not two seconds after he left Kei, a living being suddenly appeared at his position, staring at the direction Yvelise Ayers left with a strange grin.

“Interesting, to be able to detect my presence, this ability seems more than just simple Rule Sequence, it seems very likely to be the Heart of the Holy Kingdom’s skill.”

The newly emerged being uttered an empty voice, but did not pursue the already-retreating Yvelise Ayers, instead delving further into the core of this region.

He slowly dissolved into it, where countless Undead Legions stood in neat rows across various areas.

Skeleton Archer Corps, Undead Knight Corps, and even five Black Dragons.

In contrast to the chaotic scene of the Ogres, these are truly Saifu’s legions.

These legions, upon seeing the newcomer, not only showed no hostility but instead slightly bowed.

“Ross, designated of the Divine Fire by the Holy Venerable of the Purple Sun, why have you come here, and what is your purpose?”

On that Throne, a massive mage sat, with ghostly light flickering in its dry pupils, now looking at that silhouette with a puzzled expression.

“The Holy Venerable of the Purple Sun has said, human nature cannot outweigh the demonic nature, as dictated by the Path Profound Holy Kingdom, even a false victory provides Hominini with false hope, I am here to completely extinguish the hope of Hominini.”

Ross chuckled lightly.

“Lord Saifu, please do not worry, I have accepted your invitation. Hominini will not necessarily be utterly defeated in this final battle, they are seeking all kinds of opportunities, but the power of the dead will eventually crush this city, and finally descend upon the entire Holy Kingdom. Lord Saifu gaining strong power proves that, doesn’t it?”

Saifu nodded, no longer speaking.

“My lord, another Scout Team has appeared in one of the passages, should we go to annihilate them?”

Ross said softly.

“No need, just stay by my side and guard me, as long as they don’t reach this area, there’s no need to bother with them. Once my Divine Soul recovers, we can directly launch the army and completely erase Nine Bends City.”

Saifu pointed at a Black Dragon, which seemed to have received some command.

With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky.

At this moment, Ethan Smith’s side was also plunged into a deadly battle.

Ogres and Ogre-Trolls couldn’t cause them severe threats anymore, but once surrounded.

They might also be utterly obliterated by this terrifying number of legions, thus they fiercely broke through the Ogres’ encirclement after the battle.

Grayson, with a knife in front, carved a blood-soaked path, while Drethin Lynos, West Hill, and Ethan Smith supported from the sides.

In the glimmer of sword light, Grayson’s body flickered like a phantom, severing the head of another Ogre-Troll.

His breath was light and retreated slightly backward.

Drethin Lynos wielded a massive axe and supported the front alongside fellow Drethin Lynos wielding a gold sword.

Ethan Smith observed the surrounding situation from the center, looking somewhat pale.

The Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil consumed enormous spiritual power, if not for strengthening the Divine Soul after the first city defense battle and continually consuming Returning God Dan, he might not have lasted.

With reinforcement after the previous battle, Ogres and Ogre-Trolls could no longer significantly threaten them, as long as they were not surrounded, they would largely be safe.

And since Saifu had also performed a Mental Attack previously, there was no immediate danger.

“Grayson, it seems your physical strength hasn’t increased much, but your combat power is at least triple!”

From the beginning of the fight until now, Grayson had slain eight Ogre-Trolls and remained at ease.

This was an extremely exaggerated feat, considering in the first battle defending the city, killing just one Ogre-Troll exhausted nearly all efforts.

“In the Lower Realm, I entered the path with my blade, the path is almost my life, knowing which muscles to use with every swing, where my body exerts force, that’s all clear to me, so during strengthening, I concentrated on these areas, supplemented elsewhere, maximizing the force my blade can exert.”

Grayson said softly, having no reason to conceal anything from Ethan Smith, whom the elderly of heavenly secrets had spoken about.

Ethan Smith nodded, understanding that all strength was focused on the blade.

Other non-essential combat areas were directly ignored; with the scarcity of Divine Power, this was indeed the best approach, no wonder Grayson improved so drastically.

Suddenly, a harrowing sound resounded near them.

“That’s the Black Dragon’s voice; could there possibly be some change with that Black Dragon?”

Grayson said, frowning.

The Black Dragon was formed from countless Ogre-Trolls, Ogres, and Human corpses; its strength was at least four to five times that of an Ogre-Troll, with flight making it practically invincible.

Upon hearing such a dreadful scream, Ethan Smith hesitated slightly before dashing towards that direction.

“I’ll go check it out! You decide whether to follow me or retreat on your own!”

Without Yvelise Ayers’s Undead Candle, advancing seemed unrealistic.

Yet the intelligence gathered thus far seemed of little value for finding the living being the elderly of heavenly secrets spoke about in the bunker, perhaps not enough merit.

Faced with this rare opportunity, Ethan Smith didn’t want to miss it.

Retreating now wouldn’t yield much gain this time.

West Hill and Grayson followed behind without hesitation.

Fang Xiang and Liu Da hesitated slightly, not following them but retreating towards the tunnel.
