The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 969

Chapter 969: Chapter 774, Level 20 Chapter 969: Chapter 774, Level 20 Steward's Office.

Xi Ligui held the phone, her tone serious, “Have you gone mad, using Leader Lilith for advertising!”

On the other end of the call, Wu Heng's voice came through, “I only mentioned the leader has settled on the island, didn't say anything else.”

“Did you discuss this matter with Leader Lilith?”

“No.”

Xi Ligui covered her forehead with her hand, “You're done for, I can't save you. When your mouth is sealed, what will you do?”

“It can't be, just a vague mention in the newspaper, and they're going to seal my mouth? That's so cruel,” Wu Heng's voice had also risen quite a bit.

“I will hire a sign language teacher for you, it shouldn't be hard to learn.”

“Damn, no need to think so thoroughly, I don't think it's that serious,” Wu Heng continued.

Xi Ligui took a deep breath and said, “What's done is done, let's see what Leader Lilith thinks.”

“If the leader is really angry, I'll go and apologize then,” Wu Heng added.

Xi Ligui wasn't left with many good options, and could only say, “Let's wait and see!”

After they finished speaking, the call was ended.

Shi Yali rested her chin in her hands, “Why the grumpy face, I don't think it's a big deal.”

Xi Ligui gave her sister a blank stare, “You've been brainwashed by him, you think nothing he does is a problem.”

“Isn't it? He's been running Gold and Silver Island pretty well; living here is even more comfortable than with the Elf Race,” Shi Yali said with a smile.

Xi Ligui pursed her lips and didn't respond, going back to her seat to sit down.

Island Lord's Mansion.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng settled back into the sofa.

The newspaper's report about Lilith settling on the island was something he had thought through beforehand.

The intent was simple: to send out some signals.

A leader settling in a place definitely indicates a strong approval of the local comprehensive conditions, which is exactly what Gold and Silver Island needed.

It wasn't just about increasing the island's publicity and selling houses at high prices to elites, but more importantly, it concerned some high-level professionals and the Evil Cult that bore grudges against him.

The Holy Court establishing a church on the island could reduce the number of fugitives arriving.

A hero settling on the island was enough to deter more people.

It also saved him the constant worry about the island's safety whenever he went out.

Another point was The Holy Court; the closer the relationship between Lilith and Gold and Silver Island, the more it signaled to The Holy Court.

When that Church Leader returned, if he wanted to deal with him, he would have to consider Lilith's stance.

Thinking about it, he really was unlucky, having to guard against the Evil Cult and enemies in the front, and watch out for attacks from The Holy Court in the back.

Being a Necromancer was so stressful.

He sat in the living room for a while, all was calm, and Lilith hadn't arranged for anyone to come find him.

It seemed there was no problem.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and said, “Mini, I'm heading upstairs. If anyone is looking for me, tell them I've stepped out.”

“Yes, Master,” Mini answered from across the room.

Wu Heng headed straight upstairs and entered his study.

After waiting for the Three Ghosts to return and getting an update on the situation outside, he confirmed everything was indeed fine.

He let the ghosts return and opened the boundary door to Zombie World.

Zombie World.

Stepping out of the boundary door, he released the Three Ghosts from his body.

Together, they walked out, casually chatting.

“Sister Bella, are you almost Level 20?” Xiao Xiao asked.

Bella replied, “Wu Heng said it should be soon, it feels like just a matter of a couple of days.”

“Uncle, are you leveling up soon?” Xiao Xiao leaned on Wu Heng's shoulder.

Wu Heng glanced at Bella's panel, “Soon, with a little more effort today should do it.”

“With Sister Bella reaching Level 20, our team will get stronger,” Xiao Xiao cheered.

“Yeah, then you're the only one left at Level 18,” said Wu Heng.

Xiao Xiao flew to the side, tilting her head away, “Uncle is also Level 19, yet you're talking about me.”

One man and three spirits chatted as they proceeded outside.

Wu Heng took the passenger seat in the truck, giving the order directly, “Keep moving forward.”

The vehicle started, with the Skeleton Army following along the road.

After driving some distance,

Another swarm of zombies began to appear in the distance.

The Skeleton Hounds ran ahead to attract the zombies; the surging horde rushed forward, colliding with the Skeleton Spear Formation.

Clashes echoed in the sky.

Spirits slowly rose from the ground.

Bella wasted no time, she flew up to devour the pervasive Remnant Souls.

Time elapsed.

By now the sky had completely darkened, the entire area shrouded in night, with only the pale blue glow from the skeletons' eye sockets flickering incessantly.

Outside, the fierce fighting continued.

Because Bella was about to level up, all her speeds were increasing, and Wu Heng didn't even have time to eat. He was advancing and clearing zombies all the way.

This was already the third wave of zombies they had cleared today.

Bella was also continuously devouring Remnant Souls, but so far, there had been no prompt for leveling up.

Wu Heng was just about to check Bella's panel.

Suddenly, a system prompt resounded in his ears.

[Ghost upgraded to Level 20, Agility +5, Intelligence +3, Perception +4, Charm +3.]

[Unlocked Traits: Legendary Heroic Spirit.]

[Unlocked Traits: Legendary Invisibility, Legendary Possession.]

[Unlocked Ability: Telekinesis Push.]

Hearing the prompt, Wu Heng felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Looking up into the sky ahead, he saw Bella's figure still darting among the Remnant Souls, her speed even more rapid.

Bella too felt herself leveling up and flew directly back from afar, her tone somewhat excited, “Wu Heng, I think I leveled up.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Congratulations, Bella, you're Level 20 now.”

Excitement was unmistakable in Bella's eyes.

Level 20, a level only spoken of in the stories told in taverns, and now she had reached it herself.

At the same level as those high-ranking Leaders in the headquarters.

Her heart filled with excitement, she still squeezed out a smile, “Thank you, Wu Heng, thank you Lady Glenda, Xiao Xiao.”

“I wish I could get to Level 20 too,” Xiao Xiao muttered.

Bella said with a smile, “Once you unlock Unfinished Wish, you'll be able to reach Level 20.”

“I still don't know what that is,” Xiao Xiao pouted.

Wu Heng said with a laugh, “No worries, take your time.”

“I'm not in a hurry; Uncle can't level up either.”

“I'm thankful you're with me.”

“Who else would I be best with if not you?”

Wu Heng pointed to the Remnant Souls above, “Devour the rest and then head back to rest.”

The Three Ghosts all flew out and began to devour the Remnant Souls filling the sky.

Wu Heng then opened Bella's attributes to take a look.

[Heroic Spirit]

[Level: 20]

[Attributes: Agility 50, Constitution 34, Intelligence 41, Perception 45, Charm 38.]

[Traits: Legendary Heroic Spirit, Legendary Invisibility, Legendary Possession, Telekinesis Push.]

[Ability: Spirit Vision.]

After reviewing the attributes, he frowned slightly.

He then opened Glenda's attributes at Level 20 for comparison.

When Glenda reached Level 20, Telekinesis Push had evolved into Legendary Telekinesis Control, but Bella had just unlocked Telekinesis Push upon reaching Level 20.

In terms of abilities, she also lacked Stealing Body compared to Glenda.

It seemed she hadn't improved as much as Glenda had.

Thinking about it carefully.

The issue wasn't really a big one. As long as she reached Level 20, being able to suppress the enemy with her attributes was enough.

The simplest and most effective means for a Ghost to kill was through Possession.

With Legendary Possession and Legendary Invisibility, she would be well-equipped.

Now that Bella had also reached Level 20, only Xiao Xiao was left behind.

Next, he'd need to find a way to resolve Xiao Xiao's Unfinished Wish.

The Three Ghosts had cleaned up the Remnant Souls, and the battling zombies below were few in number.

Wu Heng directly ordered the Skeleton Army to advance forward, killing any remaining zombies along the way.

Then, as usual, came the cleanup work.

Wu Heng collected Corpse Cores and released [Corpse Battlefield] to convert all the zombies into Skeletons.

Once everything was taken care of.

He found a house by the roadside, opened the boundary door, and returned to rest.

…

Back on Gold and Silver Island, the sky had also darkened.

After a quick wash, he went downstairs to have the Skeleton Chef prepare some midnight snacks.

In order to level up Bella, he had skipped lunch as well.

While dining, his thoughts roamed casually.

At Level 19 himself, with two Level 20 Ghosts and one Level 18,

he already considered a considerable force in the Otherworld.

But now it seemed his skeleton attendants were a bit low in level.

Kai Xiu, a Level 18 Fist Master, and although Kerim, bolstered by the Evil Sword, wasn't lacking in killing power, his level was only 17.

“The Zombie King side, we need to speed things up.”

After dinner, Wu Heng returned cautiously to the bedroom.

He lay down in bed to rest.
