#155 - Chapter 155: The Undead Monarch - Drew
【A corner of the Raven's Nest, the beginning area of the Styx invasion.】
【Nosarth's Great Cemetery】
“Ding!” “Ding!” “Ding!” “Ding!”
As countless dings echoed from the soul crystal ball, a skeleton clad in a pure black, decaying robe, seated upon a certain magical high platform, suddenly had its soul fire ignite within the sockets of its skull.
However, unlike the faint blue soul fire possessed by the skeleton soldiers,
the soul fire within the eye sockets of this skeleton “with clothes” was a cyan-green color.
And this cyan-green soul fire was the level marker of this undead creature.
Undead creatures possessing cyan-green soul fire generally had their own class and level.
And such beings also possessed their own rank.
Legendary Peak Rank!
And such undead also had another, rather special title, which was...
Undead Monarch!
A truly meaningful existence, close to a demigod, and possessing the forbidden spells of the undead.
“I have been meditating...”
The undead's jaw moved, once again adapting to this body.
“For seven years and four months, a very short time.”
“The soul crystal ball just sent out an alarm.”
“Has the invasion war of this world ended?”
The Undead Monarch Drew spoke thus, and slowly walked to the side of the soul crystal ball, checking the source of the alarm.
As an Undead Monarch, Drew himself did not belong to this world.
He, like Wu Wei, was an invader of this world.
(PS: Written in Chapter 143, this world is a plane invaded by the undead.)
Powerful, but not inherently noble, he actually came from a certain ultra-large undead world.
In that undead world, there were a vast number of undead creatures, and among these undead creatures, there were dozens as powerful as Drew, or even more powerful than him.
These powerful undead, with the help of the Styx, constantly invaded other worlds, thereby bringing the Styx's aura into those worlds, eventually turning those worlds into new undead worlds, thereby colonizing that world.
Therefore, Drew, who was originally just conducting a routine expedition, would say such words.
However, this time, he was destined to be disappointed.
“What's the situation? Not only has the Xiling Empire not been conquered.”
“But also, many of the buildings and undead servants in my territory have been attacked?”
Even though he had become undead, Undead Monarch Drew still possessed some surprised emotions.
“Wait a moment, the existences attacking my territory are a group of....”
“What is this thing!?”
“Monsters?”
When the soul crystal ball's image froze on the scene of a certain undead gold mine, Drew could hardly believe what his soul fire was seeing.
A group of dark, malformed creatures that he couldn't understand at all, like beasts, were frantically destroying his undead gold mine.
And at their feet were the undead servants who had lost their function (but were not dead).
At this moment, these undead servants had been dismantled into pieces by these dark, malformed monsters, lying helplessly on the ground.
But the malformed monsters were still not satisfied.
While constantly persecuting the undead servants who had turned into complete bones, these little demons also began to scavenge everything “valuable” in the area.
Their movements were extremely crude, and also extremely disgusting.
When the little demons took a fancy to something, they would not understand whether this thing had value in the way ordinary people would, but would instead see if they were interested in it.
They would take away everything they could take.
And for things they couldn't take away, but they thought were valuable, they would directly destroy them, no matter how high the value of the thing was.
As for things and buildings that they couldn't take away, and were also deemed meaningless, they would directly destroy them into complete fragments.
Moreover, this was just one area.
In more areas, similar scenes were happening.
These demons, who were considered weak even in the eyes of the undead, were constantly spreading the madness and destruction they had accumulated to any area they could see!
“Are they a new type of war creature created by the Xiling Empire?”
Drew glanced at his memory bank and found that these dark creatures were not products manufactured by the Xiling Empire, which was good at biological technology.
Because their body structure was somewhat inconsistent with conventional physical rules.
Their biological systems were too chaotic and disordered.
And more importantly, the appearance of these little demons did not belong to the aesthetics of the Xiling Empire.
However, these problems only troubled Drew for a few minutes.
With the help of countless reserved “eyes of the undead,” Drew successfully followed the direction from which these dark monsters came and found the master of these little demons.
At least their former master.
“This is...”
And when Drew's gaze came to the distant area.
His soul fire was immediately attracted by a uniquely shaped abyssal creation.
Because what he saw was a portal from the endless abyss!
A certain humanoid creature around the portal seemed to sense something and glanced back faintly.
“What a blasphemous creation?!”
And beside this humanoid creature, a pitch-black seed was about to fall onto this land eroded by the aura of death.
The death knell from the abyss was about to ring in another new world!
