“How is it? Is everyone alright?”
“Yeah, we’re fine. Let’s continue!” Li Shaoqiang said, pounding his chest with a high fighting spirit. “Let’s take them down!”
The recent effort wasn’t in vain; they had depleted a wave of the invaders’ mental strength in the stone chamber and had taken out two invaders, significantly weakening the invader team’s strength.
It was all about attrition!
And they could handle it!
“Alright, let’s go!”
In the stone chamber, the team had just managed to repel the guards and hadn’t had time to rest when they saw a familiar figure rapidly approaching the passage.
It was him!
The mausoleum guard priest moved in a way very different from ordinary priests, making him instantly recognizable to them.D*mn it!
Why was he here again?
“Be careful of that mausoleum guard priest! Take him out first!”
Fang Heng couldn’t hear what the invaders were saying, but seeing their growing panic, he couldn’t help but smirk.
The difficulty of this mission was within control.
It could be completed!
…
After several attempts, Fang Heng finally eliminated a 12-person squad.
In total, they had died seven times and spent nearly 20 minutes.
Such battles were a significant drain on mental strength.
But it was still within control.
After a brief rest, the three of them continued to search for their next target.
Having figured out the routine, they opted for the most efficient method of attrition.
Brute force tactics!
By using infinite respawns, they repeatedly wore down the invader team’s strength until they completely dismantled the invader team.
However, just as Fang Heng was preparing to repeat the tactic on a newly selected target, his movements suddenly stalled, and a dark light appeared before him.
What?!
Fang Heng’s mind raced.
He found himself unable to move!
He saw his will rapidly slipping away from the mausoleum guard priest he was controlling.
Almost simultaneously, the mausoleum guard priests controlled by Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo also began to tremble uncontrollably.
In the next moment, darkness engulfed all three of them.
Whoosh!
The next moment, when Fang Heng opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the death knight space.
The death knight still sat on the high throne, his expression extremely grim.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo returned to the space right behind him.
What was going on?
Why had they suddenly returned?
Wasn’t the mission time still ongoing?
Fang Heng glanced at the mission hint and saw that the mission was still in progress, with no failure indication.
Just as he was about to ask, a deafening boom echoed through the space.
Instantly, the entire death knight space was filled with dark golden rifts, spreading like golden lightning across the entire space.
The rifts lasted for several seconds before gradually fading away.
The death knight, seated high, coldly looked at Fang Heng and the others, clearly in a very bad mood, “It’s the Holy Realm people. They’re outside disrupting the holy space.”
Fang Heng’s heart tightened immediately.
Trouble!
Holy Realm people!
They were indeed targeting him!
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang also changed their expressions slightly.
“Humph! Our death realm, under the leadership of Empress Persephone, has always remained neutral and never engaged in wars between realms. We merely follow the longstanding rules of the death realm, while the Holy Court has continued to be our enemy because of it.”
The death knight restrained his wrath and continued, “Forget about the previous mission. The reason I summoned you back urgently is that I need you to perform a task for me.”
“What task?”
“Did you see the stone chamber that the invaders occupied earlier?”
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
“There is a central stone chamber in the middle layer of Empress Persephone’s mausoleum. It is the resting place of the Empress’s most favored mount, the Land of Hibernation for the Frostbone Dragon,” the death knight continued in a grave tone. “I will give you an incantation. I need you to enter the mausoleum again, find the central stone chamber, and use the incantation to awaken the Frostbone Dragon.”
“Be cautious. The invaders might have already found that stone chamber. They’ve entered it before and attempted to gain the power of the Frostbone Dragon, which is nothing but a pipe dream!”
Li Shaoqiang’s heart raced, and his spirit was lifted.
The Frostbone Dragon?
A creature from undead legend?
Is it real?
Li Shaoqiang hurriedly asked, “And then? What happens after using the incantation to awaken the Frostbone Dragon?”
“After?” The death knight shook his head. “You two only need to assist Fang Heng in completing this task. As for dealing with the Holy Court scum outside, I will handle it myself.”
Li Shaoqiang thought to himself that this was indeed excellent news!
They had originally come to the death knight space intending to persuade the death knight to deal with the Holy Court.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Court had started destroying the death knight space, forcing the death knight to take action. If they could use the death knight’s strength to eliminate the people outside, that would naturally be the best outcome!
The death knight slowly turned his gaze to Fang Heng.
“Fang Heng, you are different. You are not like the others.”
Fang Heng’s pupils constricted.
“Most items cannot be brought into the Will Space, but holy weapons are different,” the death knight said, looking at Fang Heng. “Do you understand what I mean?”
“Remember, the incantation I’m going to teach you will awaken the Frostbone Dragon and keep it calm. When the Frostbone Dragon is revived, I need you to use the Shrine of Bones to temporarily seal its soul and bring it back here.”
Fang Heng stared intensely at the death knight and asked, “You want to use the power of the Frostbone Dragon to deal with the Holy Realm?”
“Exactly,” the death knight confirmed with a nod. “My own power is insufficient to confront the Holy Realm, so I need to harness the power of the Frostbone Dragon. The Holy Realm’s people are still continuously pressuring the death knight space from outside. You have only 40 minutes to complete this mission and bring the Frostbone Dragon’s soul back here. Otherwise…”
The blue flames in the death knight’s eyes flickered faster, and he did not continue.
Only 40 minutes?
So short?
Wasn’t the difficulty too high?
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo’s faces turned slightly pale upon hearing this. Based on their previous experience, dealing with a team of over ten invaders usually required coming back to life two or three times, and finishing a batch within 20 minutes was already considered extremely lucky.
The invader team gathered in the central stone chamber might be the strongest!
Forty minutes wouldn’t be enough!
The death knight cast a cold glance at Li Shaoqiang and said, “I can sense the fear in your heart.”
Under the death knight’s gaze, Li Shaoqiang felt an invisible pressure and couldn’t help but lower his head.
Of course he was afraid!
How could they possibly complete it in just 40 minutes?
The death knight’s gaze was unyielding as he spoke, “In this critical moment, I will bestow upon you the power of the Death God. Will you accept the role of guardians of the death realm, embrace the power of Empress Persephone, and safeguard the eternal tranquility of the death realm?”
