Chapter 467: Chapter 437: Goodbye Aeolus_2

Ange Watson also couldn’t contain his excitement inside, this kind of battle where he didn’t have to worry about casualties among his subordinates was simply too thrilling. But if the casualties really turned into numbers, his command would be even more effortless.

Since everyone agreed, Amberser didn’t hesitate and immediately notified Aige, instructing her to take the Silent Night Pirate Group and seize the territory of the Yixi Manta Rays as quickly as possible.

To deal with the severe poison of the Yixi Manta Rays, Amberser sent over the Pearl Dew obtained from the Mermaid Clan to the Silent Night pirates. With a conch full of Pearl Dew, the soul could be protected for about ten minutes.

However, this also depended on the concentration of the poisoned blood in the seawater. If the Yixi Manta Rays’ toxin was too strong, this protective effect would be quickly nullified, and a supplement would be required immediately.

Since there wasn’t an abundance of Pearl Dew, it couldn’t be used to take care of the entire Undead Troop, only the high-level members of the Silent Night Pirate Group could receive it.

But with a large number of disposable Trash Fish Army at the forefront, the Silent Night pirates only needed to fight the high-end opponents; so, this Pearl Dew should suffice.

Amberser didn’t care about the battle in the slightest, as it wasn’t something for an outsider like him to meddle with. His task was to clean up the battlefield.

The Sharkwa Fishmen had left tens of thousands of bodies in this ocean region, which were valuable materials for the undead, and there were also damaged Trash Fish Army, which Amberser needed to recycle.

But doing it himself would definitely be too much work.

Amberser jumped down from the hatch opened on the Black Tide and directly into the sea.

Before long, he sank deep to the seabed, lifting his right hand towards the bodies of several Sharkwa Fishmen in front of him.

Darkness flowed out of his finger joints like ink, the highly condensed Dark Magic Power, which under Amberser’s control, transformed into dozens of thread-like lines, as if they were alive.

These threads accurately wrapped around the dead Sharkwa Fishmen, and then these lifeless bodies began to rise from the seabed.

In just a few seconds, the Sharkwa Fishmen were transformed into the undead, although they were the most common zombies. The black threads, like tentacles, continuously captured the bodies of the Sharkwa Fishmen, turning them all into zombies.

"This ring, truly worthy of being a Divine Artifact!"

Amberser did not have the means to transform the undead so quickly, at best he could only use magic power to turn dozens of bodies into temporary puppets under his control. These were tools driven by Dark Magic Power, not undead with an independent "life."

But the ring obtained from the Dragon Tomb could do it, this Divine Artifact could gather the purest Dark Magic Power, just like the Gaze of Death of the Withered Rose, it could transform bodies into real undead in a very short time.

The only difference was, the Withered Rose’s spell worked on living things too, Amberser’s ring hadn’t yet developed such an outrageous function.

But it was already very powerful. The ring created undead at such a rapid pace that Amberser walked around the battlefield, and all the Sharkwa Fishmen were turned into zombies, and under Amberser’s command, the damaged Miscellaneous Fish Type One were gathered from the battlefield.

The method was simple, those with no pockets just had to insert it into their stomachs, those with rotten stomachs put it in their chests, and for those completely rotted away, the limbs and other places would do.

With the help of these zombies, it didn’t take Amberser long to clean up the battlefield.

The damaged Miscellaneous Fish Type One were packed up and sent to his Alchemy Factory for simple repairs, to be later filled again with new Pseudo-Souls. The tens of thousands of Sharkwa Fishman Zombies were also not idle. Amberser instructed these Sharkwa Fishman Zombies to transform the area.

The Sharkwa Fishmen were an active race, while the Mermaids preferred to nest quietly, so the Mermaid Clan needed complicated coral colonies as their habitat.

Amberser didn’t have time to cultivate coral colonies right now, so he used Bone Coral to serve as a temporary substitute.

Several Octopus Guardians were manipulated to start spewing Bone Proliferation Virus Bullets, which began to create patches of Bone Coral on the sea floor.

Only the Undead could use this because the intense dark aura was just perfect for killing these endlessly proliferating viruses. Once the Bone Coral had grown sufficiently, any Undead that approached could prevent the excessive growth of the bones.

Directing the Zombies step by step to transform his territory, Amberser soon constructed an eerie and terrifying Bone Undersea Forest.

It might not have been pretty, but the terrain was incredibly complex, making it the perfect stronghold during this chaotic time, difficult for the enemy to assault. Besides, Amberser also planned to use a world-modifying spell to transform the terrain.

For example, creating a massive ring-shaped island, enclosing this area with rocks and leaving only a few passages for the ocean currents to flow through, would significantly limit the points where other races could attack, making defense much easier... However, these were not urgent matters, for Amberser knew he was unfamiliar with the sea, and random terrain modification could turn a resource-rich area into a barren wasteland.

For now, using the Bone Coral was sufficient. Once the criminals of the Mermaid Clan migrated over, it would be more appropriate to allow them to carry out the transformation.

While he was seriously working on the transformation, Amberser suddenly looked up toward the distant sea water.

A huge group of individuals with strong life force was approaching, tens of thousands in number.

The one leading the group was incredibly fast!

Just as Amberser realized that an enemy was coming, the figure at the forefront was already clearly visible.

Amberser paused for a moment, surprised, and said, "Aeolus? What are you doing here?"

Aeolus recognized Amberser too, but instead of smiling and embracing his old friend, he raised the trident in his hand and yelled angrily, "So it was you, the deceiver! Die!"

A whirlpool formed around Aeolus and swept towards Amberser!

Amberser was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned dark.

He might not like deceiving fools, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t beat one.

The Golden Throne was summoned by Amberser, a massive surge of magic power erupted, forming a fierce Ice Storm that collided with the whirlpool summoned by Aeolus, freezing the water, which was no longer under Aeolus’s control.

Aeolus was undeterred, stepping on the water as his body charged towards Amberser, his trident stabbing toward Amberser’s head.

Amberser let out a chuckle as his body flashed, transforming from a Skeleton into a silver-white Mecha.

Mithril Mech, code-named—Deep Diver! The outer armor was the pride of the Kingdom of Impure Hymns, while the internal structure was custom-adapted by Amberser for the deep sea.

You really thought a Lich couldn’t swim?!

The thrusters behind Amberser provided him with immense power, allowing him to match Aeolus’s speed. The two collided with a loud crash, Aeolus’s trident broke in two, and both his throat and chest were pierced by the Mithril blades of Amberser’s arms.

With a swift motion of his arms, Amberser used his strength to slash Aeolus’s chest and neck with the Mithril blades.

Amberser grabbed Aeolus’s head and said, "I know you can’t die. Now, can you calm down? My friend, when you called me a deceiver just now, when have I ever deceived you?"
