Chapter 312: Chapter 244: Entering the Underground Core Area of the Undead Ancient Castle_2

“If you follow me out of this Secret Realm, can these squads be taken along?”

If these Boss minions could not be brought out, Lord Zi was prepared to contract with several members of the high-tier Undead Species, then use the [Heart of the Lord] to strengthen them all at once.

At the very least, he planned to pack up and take all the Bone Dragons and Dark Knights with him.

With this number, his legion’s strength would surge tremendously!

“Master, within each of our tribes, there is a Death Mirror, which not only helps us evolve into Boss templates but can also contain our kin to facilitate the deployment of warriors during campaigns,” Edward explained, stepping forward and releasing a surge of the Power of Death to construct a small summoning Array. His pale hand plunged directly into it.

By the time he had finished speaking, a gray-black mirror had appeared in his hand.

Edward respectfully held the mirror with both hands and presented it to Zi Liyuan.

[Death Bat Mirror (Gold): A mirror that absorbs the Power of Death to help vampires evolve into the Blood Race.]

Looking at the mirror in his hand, Zi Liyuan could only think that it was indeed the tribal treasure mentioned by Kulong, the Spectral Dragon.

However, the one possessed by Kulong could only evolve Bone Dragons into Spectral Dragons, while this mirror was designated for vampires to evolve into the Blood Race.

“So you’re saying there are eight mirrors with the same functions for the eight Undead tribes; these were bestowed by the former master of the Secret Realm, right?”

Clearly, the mirrors were man-made, specifically for the eight Undead tribes.

As for the purpose, it was quite clear: to make these eight tribes serve loyally as guardians within the ancient Undead fortress.

Of course, knowing what he does about Necromancers, Zi Liyuan suspected this Necromancer might also treat these eight Undead tribes as his own material reserves.

It wasn’t impossible, since creating Patchwork Monsters involved using various corpses and skeletons, right?

“Respected Necromancer, Kulong has brought the [Death Dragon Mirror],” Edward said.

As Zi Liyuan studied the mirror, the sky above the dilapidated temple darkened. The Spectral Dragon, Kulong, spread its wings and descended directly, sending a crowd of Undead Bosses in front of Zi Liyuan flying out of the way.

The Undead Bosses, having lost face in front of their new master, glared balefully at the massive bony body of the Spectral Dragon.

If they weren’t outmatched, they would have torn the creature apart and boiled its bones for soup!

Kulong, indifferent to the Undead Bosses it had bullied, confidently landed on all fours. Its giant Bone Dragon head was thrust before Lord Zi, mouth gripping a mirror.

Zi Liyuan, speechless, took the mirror from its mouth, relieved it wasn’t slobbered on, which would have increased his revulsion.

Comparing the two mirrors, their size was the same, their functions similar, the only difference being the Undead sigils and patterns carved on the back.

“A treasure capable of evolving the tribe is not too shabby,” he commented.

After examining the mirrors briefly, Zi Liyuan returned them to Kulong, the Spectral Dragon, and Edward, the Blood Race’s ghostly king.

He saw no need to confiscate them as with his various strengthened buffs and a Soul Value nearing four thousand, he couldn’t possibly contract the tens of thousands of Undead Bosses in this place anyway.

It was better to let these eight Undead Lord Bosses manage them while he only needed to issue commands to these Bosses.

Creating another servitude contract mark and infusing it into Kulong, Zi Liyuan felt the ability to control the creature even after death, then he began planning his next steps.

“Your first task is to guard this temple. Any being that approaches, prevent them from entering this land, kill them without mercy!”

They dare not enter the core area, so this Secret Realm must have restrictions on them. In that case, he would fortify this position to stop anyone trying to probe into the Necro Realm.

At the very least, he had already cleared a group of people from the entrance of Jiangnan Province’s Necro Realm. Should anyone dare to enter, they could not blame him for being ruthless.

As for the other entrances to the Secret Realm, especially the Royale Secret Realm, those who enter are enemies. The best outcome would be to kill or cripple them—he would certainly show no mercy!

“We shall follow Master’s command!”

The eight great Undead Bosses, having heaved a sigh of relief in secret, also made a resolute decision regarding their first mission—they had to complete it flawlessly.

They absolutely couldn’t allow their master to look down on them!

There was no other way; their master was simply too powerful. Not to mention the more than ten Epic Bosses under his command, there was even a Legendary Boss amongst them—this power was truly terrifying.

Even the original master of the Secret Realm, according to the records of their kind, only had five Epic Undead Bosses under his control. A Legendary Boss was something they’d not even dare to dream of.

After giving some orders to the Undead Bosses, Zi Liyuan directly instructed them to follow Edward’s command.

Lord Zi had realized that Edward, among this group of Undead Bosses, might only be ranked third in strength, but his word carried the most weight.

Especially Kulong, the Spectral Dragon Lord Boss, who completely followed Edward’s arrangements, which surprised Lord Zi.

However, having such a cunning Vampire Ghost King in command, it was likely that all those professionals who wanted to venture into the Undead Castle for opportunities would be eliminated.

“We’ve delayed enough time, let’s go down.”

After arranging everything for the Undead Bosses, Zi Liyuan directly commanded the Golden Behemoth to clear the way, heading straight through the vast downward passage to the real Undead City beneath.

The wide passage was engraved with some sort of undead runes, and a massive aura of death permeated the corridor, reducing visibility to just a dozen meters.

But with the Golden Behemoth clearing the way, the Boss-level monsters that appeared in the passage were easily crushed.

They were either torn apart by the Golden Behemoth or trampled into fragments—no Boss could withstand the rampage of such an Epic Boss.

They brutally fought their way from the entrance all through to the exit of the passage.

Visibility had been poor at first, but upon entering the real underground city, the view suddenly became clear.

The first level underground was a vast field divided into different laboratories, and there was only one path.

The closest to the exit was the Alchemy Laboratory that Fan Yuer and the others had been eagerly thinking about!

“Li Yuan, let’s go to the Alchemy Laboratory first and empty out everything inside!”

Fan Yuer looked at the enormous Alchemy Laboratory not far away, her eyes shining brightly as she pulled Lord Zi, sounding somewhat impatient.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. We can’t use Soul Value or investigative skills to check the situation here, so it’s better to be cautious.”

To avoid any unexpected situations, Zi Liyuan once again took out a scroll emitting Holy Light, without any hesitation activated it with Spiritual Power, and tore it open towards the corridor ahead.

A pillar of Holy Light burst forth from the scroll, like a torrent, and surged forward.

A “zla” sound emerged at that moment.

Then followed the screams of various undead creatures throughout the vast laboratory.

“Uh, you as a Necromancer, using Holy Light Scrolls like this, isn’t it somewhat inappropriate?”

Looking speechlessly at Zi Liyuan who would readily use Holy Light Scrolls, she felt utterly at a loss for words.

Being a Necromancer who also wields the Power of Death, wasn’t using his nemesis’ power going to eradicate the monsters in this Necro Realm?

“If it can easily eliminate all kinds of dangers, why should I risk myself by going there?”

Lord Zi had no qualms about being a wielder of the Power of Death.

The best counter to the Power of Death is the Holy Light Power.

Knowing that he was going to explore the Secret Realm of Death, bringing a few extra Holy Light scrolls made sense, right?

The various High-tier Undead following behind Lord Zi were all trembling internally at that moment.

It was just that their master was too brutal, casually taking out a Holy Light Scroll for use.

A Necromancer misusing Holy Light Power this way was definitely a Holy Light devotee undercover amongst the followers of death!
