The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 1297: Chapter 953, Jungle Adventure

Amid the astonishment and discussions of the others.

The Hongwen Association Leader and the Hunter Leader quickly stepped out from the cabin.

As everyone’s eyes looked towards the horizon, they saw two figures chasing and colliding like meteors between the sea and sky.

The embarrassed Religious Leader ’Saidu’ flew ahead in the air, with his golden Holy Robe torn into strips, leaving a trail of blood.

Behind him, a charred figure rode upon a skeleton swiftly approaching, with new flesh bursting through dead skin, like a demon reborn from fire.

Did Wu Heng win?

He’s now pursuing Saidu!

The Elf Leader’s expression was one of shock and disbelief, while the Dwarf Leader’s was more complex, filled with the same astonishment and the gritted teeth of having lost a Special Item.

The history of The Holy Court was too ancient, and even though the association now held power, it barely restrained the court, forcing them to act within the rules.

Yet here, the millennia-old Holy Court, the world’s sole legitimate religion,

had actually been defeated by a Necromancer who had just become a Hero after declaring a Holy War.

What was witnessed today would surely leave a rich legacy in the history of all races.

Scholars from the Hongwen Alliance on the fleet immediately took out paper and pen to record the scene, with some even sketching it as it unfolded.

The Religious Leader gritted his teeth and accelerated again, trying to reach the association’s ships.

Boom~!

A giant water curtain rose from the sea, barring the path ahead. The Religious Leader swung his sword downward, and Sword Qi tore the water curtain apart.

Energy exploded once more, raising huge waves.

The association’s flagship rocked violently, and scholars clung desperately to the mast.

Wu Heng stood on the skeleton’s spine, his charred body writhing with new flesh like magma, "Saidu! Have you discarded even your last shred of dignity?"

The Religious Leader snorted coldly and shouted to the fleet, "Claudio! Bruno! Wu Heng has killed members of The Holy Court, behaving like the Evil Cult; assist in exterminating him quickly."

Before his words had faded, Wu Heng’s voice echoed, "Saidu attempted to harm the Association Leader and start a war, please join me in eliminating the criminal."

Goodness, both are leaders, both demanding assistance to kill the other.

This could be considered an internal conflict!

In their mutual accusations, countless Water Arrows shot skyward, colliding with the gold Sword Qi, exploding in bursts.

"Enough! Wu Heng, do you really wish to become an enemy of the association?" the Religious Leader shouted again.

Wu Heng swung the spear in his hand, with Skull Shanshan making an even greater effort to close in, coldly saying, "If the roles were reversed and you were fleeing, would you spare me? I’ve become a Hero, and you’ve always targeted me, thinking I’m easy prey. Now you’re afraid... too late."

"A moment’s triumph, do you really think you can contend with the foundation of The Holy Court?" The Religious Leader sneered, glancing backward with hatred in his eyes.

As the two drew nearer, the aftermath of their battle began to affect the fleet.

Magic pierced through the ship, and the waves stirred by the explosion rocked the vessel even more violently.

The ordinary professionals on the ship moaned in distress.

Some clung to the mast, others rolled across the deck.

"Enough, how long will you keep this up?" The Hongwen Association Leader shouted, his robe billowing.

Two semi-transparent cages rapidly formed in midair, attempting to trap both of them separately.

The Religious Leader’s body once again turned into a Light Attribute form, passing through the cage, while Wu Heng used [Teleportation Technique] to appear, leaping over the cage with the skeleton beneath his feet.

The Hongwen Association Leader produced a harp in hand, plucking its strings, a phantom female figure appeared, sitting on the ship’s bow, softly humming.

The melodious singing enveloped the two consumed by anger and hatred, causing a momentary blankness in their eyes.

[Enhance Will] resisted against the mental interference.

The Religious Leader was also enveloped in Holy Light, with a choir’s song overpowering the female’s singing.

Meanwhile, the other professionals on the ship collapsed in droves on the deck, tossed into the sea by the swaying ship.

The Dwarf Leader cursed, "If they get any closer, the ship will capsize."

"They’re blinded by killing intent," the Elf Leader said through gritted teeth, taking out a Bronze Compass.

The Dwarf Leader said, "I’ll handle it."

He spoke while pulling out a square board with a red Crystal Stone-like four-sided piece from his hand.

As the Religious Leader and Wu Heng pursued each other, the Dwarf Leader pointed at them and the Elf Leader.

The board emitted a glow, and the entire sea suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.

Wu Heng’s Bronze Spear and Saidu’s Holy Sword simultaneously froze in mid-air, the two pulled back to the deck like marionettes by an invisible force, heavily dropping before an ancient oak table.

...

The air became stagnant.

Four leaders sat around the circular wooden table: the Dwarf Leader, Wu Heng, the Religious Leader, and finally the Elf Leader.

Behind, the two skeletons and Three Ghosts swiftly approached.

But it seemed as if an energy was blocking them from coming closer, allowing them to see the four sitting around the round table but unable to approach.

"What are you up to?" The Religious Leader glared angrily at the Dwarf beside him.

The Dwarf said, "Calm down, if you keep fighting, the ordinary members will be caught in the crossfire."

"Hmph!" The Religious Leader snorted coldly but said nothing further.

"Leader Wu Heng, don’t worry, this is one of my Special Items. It forces a game on specified targets and poses no danger to us Heroes," the Dwarf Leader gently explained, continuing, "the association sent us to stop your fight, and now we can just sit and have a chat."

Compared to the last time they met, the Dwarf Leader’s tone was notably more polite this time.
