Chapter 172: Chapter 88: You’re Amazing, My Lady! The Undead Lord Falls
"Oh~?" A complex expression appeared on Medina’s face as she heard Su Xuan’s words. She wasn’t resistant to his idea of liberating her body from the Undead Lord’s control. After all, she felt no Loyalty toward the "husband" who had refined her into a Demon Undead.
What puzzled her was how Su Xuan planned to make the Undead Lord temporarily lose control over her. ’It’s something even I can’t do, so how could this seemingly ordinary young man possibly pull it off?’
But, she wanted to give it a try.
"Alright~" Medina smiled and nodded, gently lifting Su Xuan’s chin with a tentacle. "But I have one condition."
"I want you to use Divine Magic to purify that corpse of mine. It’s just too hideous! As long as it exists in this world, my heart can never be at peace!" A deep sorrow filled Medina’s face, as if she were pouring out the pain and rage from the depths of her soul.
Su Xuan nodded silently. He completely understood Medina’s request.
"Also~"
Medina leaned close to Su Xuan’s ear and whispered, "After this is all over, there’s something I want to tell you."
"Can’t you tell me now?" Su Xuan asked curiously.
"No~"
Su Xuan fell silent for a moment, then reached an agreement with Medina.
Meanwhile, the heart of the battlefield had reached a fever pitch.
"Pathetic ants! None of you are leaving here today!" the Undead Lord roared. Its armor was now in tatters, revealing the pitch-black bones beneath.
Inside its hollowed-out body, the Demon Cave Core pulsed with a Dark Green light, feeding it a constant stream of Magic Power. But even with such immense energy, it was still struggling against the coordinated assault of five High Level Adventurers.
Hong Lian’s Flames, which could even burn the soul, made the Undead Lord realize it had to give its all to defeat these invaders!
"Wake up, my love!" the Undead Lord bellowed. A Dark Green chain instantly materialized in its hand, and it gave a sudden, hard pull.
Instantly, the tombstone beside it shattered. The ground cracked apart, and a withered skeleton burst from the earth, appearing before everyone.
"What is that?"
The moment the skeleton broke through the ground, everyone’s expressions turned grim. It was an eight-foot-tall female corpse. Its torso was weathered down to a withered skeleton, yet its four limbs were still flexible and had taken the form of tentacles.
From the strange suckers on those four pitch-black tentacles, Dark Green foam gently bubbled out, releasing a chilling Aura of Death that slowly filled the air, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.
"Dammit! It’s a second BOSS!"
"Could it be the rumored hidden BOSS? This is bad!"
"We’re done for! Two bosses above Level 50, how are we supposed to handle this?!"
"There’s still a chance! Have faith in the Adventurers’ strength!"
"..."
The Players all wore grim expressions. They never expected the hidden BOSS to be buried right in the center of the battlefield. What was even more surprising was that this hidden BOSS was being personally controlled by the Undead Lord, causing the battle to take a drastic turn.
Just as everyone was panicking, the Undead Lord’s eyes blazed with a brilliant, eerie green light. It roared at a deafening volume, "You puny ants can sleep here for eternity!"
With that!
It gave a light tug on the chain, and the floating female corpse immediately began to glow with a profound green light. Then, Dark Green bubbles poured from the suckers on its tentacles, drifting toward the Adventurers present.
Information about the green bubbles immediately appeared in the Players’ vision.
[Virulent Bubbles: Inflicts Poisoned status on the target. (Ineffective against non-living targets)]
[Poisoned Status: All Attributes reduced by 30%. Lose 0.1% of current Life Value per second. (Can be cured with an antidote potion.)]
"It’s poison! Everyone, be careful!"
"Retreat! We can’t handle this kind of poison!"
"We’re done for! This is really it! Our Adventurers can’t fight in this environment at all, but it has no effect on the Undead!"
"Damn it! Why is this supposedly medium-risk Demon Cave so hard?! What is going on?!"
"It’s the Demon Cave Core! Look at the female corpse’s heart! There’s a Demon Cave Core in her heart, too!"
Everyone looked toward the female corpse’s heart, where a deep green Demon Cave Core was flashing with light.
The Players finally realized that this Demon Cave actually had two Demon Cave Cores!
However, because of the poison bubbles, the Players could only command their Adventurers to retreat for now and wait until they found a solution before challenging the Demon Cave again.
"This isn’t good~"
Hong Lian managed a forced smile. Blazing Flame coiled around her body, forming a barrier that kept the poison bubbles at bay.
However, she was the only one who could resist the threat of the poison bubbles; the other Adventurers had already chosen to retreat. She alone could not fight two bosses above Level 50.
Just as Hong Lian was preparing to withdraw, she was surprised to see Rosaline still holding her ground on the battlefield.
Rosaline hadn’t even taken any defensive measures, allowing the poison bubbles to strike her body. But strangely, she seemed completely unaffected. She merely glanced at the green bubbles staining her armor before continuing to stare at the distant Undead Lord.
"..."
Hong Lian was filled with confusion. ’Why is this Adventurer from the Su Xuan Guild...’
As she puzzled over this, the voices of Lu Bo and the others suddenly called out, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hong Lian, let’s go! We’re making a temporary retreat to find a solution!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Hearing this, Hong Lian hesitated for a moment.
And in the instant she hesitated, Rosaline had already launched a fierce charge toward the Undead Lord.
"Hey!"
Hong Lian was about to move forward to stop Rosaline when she was surprised to see that Su Xuan’s Adventurers hadn’t retreated. They were still on the battlefield.
’What are they doing?’
Hong Lian was completely bewildered, unable to understand what Su Xuan was planning.
As Hong Lian wavered, her Guild President’s voice rang in her mind.
"Help them."
"Understood!"
Hong Lian acknowledged the order and immediately charged toward the Undead Lord alongside Rosaline.
"Hong Lian?"
Lu Bo and the others were stunned. Their gazes shifted to where Su Xuan had been standing, only to find he had vanished without a trace.
"Where did Su Xuan go?"
"They’re insane! Absolutely insane!"
Lu Bo was speechless, vigorously rubbing his beard with his left hand.
"Let’s retreat slowly. We have to at least cover them so they can get out safely!" Shen Jun said to Lu Bo. They couldn’t get near the area covered by the poison bubbles and could only provide support from a distance.
"This group is crazy!"
Lu Bo couldn’t help but complain, but he immediately ordered his Level 50 Mage to start constructing a Magic Array, preparing to support Su Xuan and Hong Lian later.
Meanwhile, Rosaline and Hong Lian had closed in on the Undead Lord.
Hong Lian asked Rosaline, "What on earth is your President trying to do?"
"I don’t know." Rosaline’s reply was brief and cold, as she had only received the order to attack the Undead Lord.
"You..."
Hong Lian was taken aback by Rosaline’s answer, but she quickly broke into a brilliant smile. "How interesting! My Flames might have a wide area of effect in a bit, so you’d better be careful." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"..."
Rosaline didn’t say much, just gave a slight nod.
’Unless it’s a flame that can harm the soul, it can’t do any damage to me.’
The moment Hong Lian finished speaking, fiery red flames erupted from her body, forming a firebird that soared behind her, advancing on the Undead Lord with her.
"Foolish ants, not a single one of you will escape today!"
The Undead Lord roared, commanding its Undead Army to pursue the fleeing Players while simultaneously raising its massive warhammer, which released a Dark Green mist. The mist coalesced into a mass of skulls behind it, ready to face Hong Lian and Rosaline.
"Fire Lotus Divine Wings! Bloom!"
Hong Lian let out a sharp cry, and the firebird behind her instantly dove toward the Undead Lord!
The scorching Flame instantly ignited the Magic Factors in the air, leaving a burning trail as the firebird flew!
At the same time, Rosaline unleashed her Sword Technique.
A Sword Aura shaped like a New Moon slashed violently toward the Undead Lord, aiming straight for its head in an attempt to inflict a heavy blow.
"Foolish!"
The Undead Lord let out a low growl. The mass of skulls behind it opened its gaping maw and actually swallowed Rosaline’s Sword Aura in one gulp.
At the same time, its massive hammer came crashing down on the bird of flame.
The two powerful forces collided violently, causing the very space around them to tremble slightly.
"Too weak!"
The Undead Lord’s eyes flashed with green light. Its massive hammer vibrated intensely, and in an instant, it obliterated the firebird.
A furious roar like muffled thunder echoed all around!
"You puny ants will be buried here forever today! Become a part of this land!"
The Undead Lord roared in fury, intending to tear the two before it to pieces. At the same time, it used its Power to control the Demon Cave Core and swiftly sealed the Demon Cave’s entrance, determined to bury all the Players and Adventurers beneath this land forever!
Su Xuan saw his chance and decisively gave Alice the command!
"Now!"
"Okay!"
In that very instant!
The Undead Lord didn’t notice that the Soul Cutter, remotely controlled by Alice, had already snuck close and was snipping at the Soul Iron Chain controlling Medina’s corpse.
SNAP!
With a crisp sound, the Soul Iron Chain the Undead Lord used to control Medina broke.
"Pathetic ants! You think you can defeat me with this?"
The Undead Lord roared furiously, rapidly gathering the Power of the Soul to form the chain again, attempting to re-establish control over Medina’s corpse.
At this critical moment, an eerie blue soul rushed into Medina’s corpse.
Immediately after, the hollow eyes of Medina’s corpse began to shine with a profound, eerie blue light, and a cold, furious voice issued from its mouth:
"Noland! You deserve to die!"
As she spoke, a monstrous surge of Dark Green Magic Power erupted from the suckers on Medina’s tentacles, forming chains that tightly bound the Undead Lord, temporarily immobilizing it.
"You! You’ve betrayed me!" the Undead Lord raged!
Medina didn’t answer, only staring coldly at him. At the same time, Divine Magic from Ivsha and Lucia shone in the sky, coalescing into hundreds of Light Sabers suspended in mid-air.
"Go to Hell!" Medina sneered, her eyes filled with resolve.
"No! No!" Before the Undead Lord’s indignant roar could even echo...
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The Golden swords rained down, instantly piercing through their bodies...
