At the southwest end of the Scar of the Dead, less than two hundred meters away from the oak forest, ghost-like humanoid creatures were crawling out of the charred black soil.
Their bodies were tattered, and their faces were dark. From the front, they looked like humanoid creatures, but from the side, one could see that the width of these ” creatures ” was abnormal. They were as thin as paper!
Their faces were made of large shadows as if they had no faces at all.
The movements of these ” paper creatures ” were extremely unnatural, similar to zombies.
With every step they took, sparks would fall from their bodies.
When the spark landed on the ground.
The originally clean soil would be stained with a layer of black.
Gradually.
The Scar of the Dead also expanded.
When Matthew and the others arrived, they saw this scene.There were about a dozen paper creatures wandering around the tip.
However, as soon as they sensed Matthew approaching.
As if they had found their target, they suddenly became spirited and rushed over at the same time!
Puff!
Rheagar took the lead and slashed a paper creature with his sword.
The latter’s body was easily torn apart by the two-handed greatsword, and it suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Rheagar continued to work hard.
He charged forward alone and slashed left and right with his greatsword. In a short while, he killed all the paper creatures that were emitting sparks!
This scene stunned Matthew and the others.
“Is this the trouble you were talking about?”
Rheagar placed his two-handed sword on the ground and turned to Matthew with a smile.
“I don’t even need sword oil. I can easily kill them!”
Matthew looked at the Scar of the Dead behind him. his eyes filled with doubt-
Several seconds later.
His expression suddenly changed, and he said,
“Retreat!”
Rheagar’s reaction was not slow. When he heard Matthew’s call, he hurriedly drew his sword and took two steps back before turning around.
When he saw what happened, he sucked in a few breaths of cold air.
On the scorched earth of the Scar of the Dead, more than 30 red circles suddenly appeared. On the ground covered by the circles, charred black hands stretched out from them!
Silently.
A large number of paper creatures crawled out of the circle.
Their numbers had doubled.
What was even more terrifying was…
This time, the paper creature actually had a face, and it looked exactly like Rheagar!
At this moment, even the most sensitive person realized that something was wrong.
Rheagar suddenly raised his hand, almost losing his grip on the greatsword in his hand.
“My stamina seems to have been sucked away!”
Matthew tried his best to sense the information of those paper creatures. He didn’t dare to activate his Equalized Perception, afraid that it would cause further changes in the Scar of the Dead.
Fortunately, a moment later.
There was a response on the data panel.
[Hint: You have encountered the ” Ashes Pawn “!
[Your partner, Rhaegar, has killed all the ” Ashes Pawns “. In the process, a part of his essence has been extracted and replicated by the Ashes Pawns.]
[With the help of the Lord of Ashes, the pawns of ashes would become more numerous and stronger!] [A new batch of Ashes has charged at you!]
“Are these ‘Ashen Lifeforms’?”
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that everyone was about to attack again, he hurriedly called for them to retreat.
“Don’t fight with Ashes near the Scar of the Dead. They are immortal and will absorb the elements of the living to strengthen the Scar of the Dead!” Hearing Matthew’s words.
Everyone stopped and quickly retreated in the direction of the oak forest. But even so.
There were also half of the Ash Soldiers who were killed by the crowd because they charged too fiercely.
The group retreated to the edge of the forest. They could vaguely see many red circles appearing on the ground of the Scar of the Dead!
“The number is still increasing!”
Rheagar cursed, “And why do most of them look like me?”
As he spoke.
The greatsword in his hand could not help but swing and slash, accidentally killing the remaining half of the soldiers!
“I can’t do this anymore!”
Rheagar sat down on an oak tree.
His face was abnormally pale, and his forehead was sweating profusely.
“Because you killed the most pawns, and they have absorbed the most life essence from you.”
Matthew said calmly,
I’ve read about these creatures in the information provided by the Seven Saint Alliance. They aren’t a single life form but an extension of the Scar of the Dead.
If we can’t severely damage the Scar of the Dead, then these creatures called ‘Ashes’ will accumulate. When we are completely unable to defend ourselves, they will advance triumphantly and further expand the range of the Scar of the
Dead.”
Rheagar panted,
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Matthew said helplessly,
“You slashed too fast, so fast that it far exceeded my expectations.”
Rheagar stared at them for a while. Seeing that a new wave of Ashes pawns was coming, he could not help but ask worriedly, “Can your oak forest stop these monsters?” Matthew shook his head and said,
“I’m afraid not.”
However, in the next second, the Silvermoon Zombies crawled out from the entrance between the graveyard and the surface. They walked steadily towards the fifty or so Ash Pawns that looked like Rheagar.
“But my Undead can.”
Matthew said.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The zombies swarmed up and easily tore this batch of ashes into pieces!
After a while, the Scar of the Dead lit up with red circles again, but this time, the number of red circles did not increase!
