Chapter 2429 Memories
The two necromancy warriors were hidden in a relatively concealed stone chamber, trying to memorize the inscriptions on the stone walls from memory.
Since they couldn’t carry items in the condensed will state, they had to rely solely on memorization.
However, most of the inscriptions were unfamiliar talismans, making it even harder to remember.
“Rustle, rustle…”
Sensing a noise behind them, both warriors simultaneously tensed and turned their heads.
“Who’s there!”
Three figures had appeared at the entrance of the chamber.
This was bad!
The undead warrior was greatly alarmed.
It was actually a mausoleum guard priest!
They were usually found in the lower levels! How had they suddenly appeared here?
“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!”
The next moment, the mausoleum guard priest raised a hand, and layers of dark, spiked needles surged toward them!
“Watch out!”
The warrior attempted to raise his shield to block, but the next moment, the needles coalesced into shadowy serpents that crawled up the shield and onto his arm.
What the hell!?
The shadowy serpents quickly climbed up the shield, along the arm, and stabbed into his body.
“Ugh…!!!”
The two warriors let out painful cries as the body parts pierced by the shadowy serpents rapidly turned black and corrupted. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a mass of desiccated bones, which quickly turned into blue ashes and completely vanished.
Li Shaoqiang withdrew his hand and looked at the two people beside him.
Was this the mausoleum guard priest’s skill?
Wasn’t it a bit too powerful?
Dealing with these soft targets was like crushing them!
[Hint: The player has repelled 2 mausoleum invaders. There are currently 322 mausoleum invaders remaining.]
“Let’s not waste time. We should continue.”
…
An hour later.
Outside the death knight space.
The Purifiers of the Holy Realm had set up a large magic array around the periphery of the diamond-shaped sealing stone.
The explosion of the death knight space would produce massive ripples.
It would be troublesome if Fang Heng used these ripples to escape.
To prevent any unforeseen incidents, Orkney was extremely cautious this time.
He had a premonition.
This was the closest he had ever been to catching Fang Heng!
“Sir Adjudicator, we are ready.”
“Hmm.”
Orkney looked at the central sealing stone and commanded, “Act now. Purify the death knight space with me!”
“Yes, sir!”
Meanwhile, inside the mausoleum of Empress Persephone in the death realm.
With the enhancement from the mausoleum guard priest, Fang Heng and his two companions saw a significant boost in their strength compared to the previous encounters.
Assisted by Fang Heng’s enhanced perception ability, the trio effortlessly cleared the remaining invaders in the upper areas of the mausoleum.
However, upon returning to the middle layers of the mausoleum, they soon discovered they were facing considerable trouble.
Teams bold enough to search the lower levels of the mausoleum were no pushovers. Each team was typically around ten members strong, and each team had at least one powerful necromancy scholar in residence.
Dealing with them proved to be quite troublesome.
Fang Heng and his two companions hid at a distance, observing a team for a while, but couldn’t find a good opportunity to strike.
They had initially thought that clearing the cannon fodder in the upper layers would deplete the mental strength of the invaders in the middle layers, thanks to the efforts of the other mausoleum guards and priests.
However, it seemed the effect wasn’t as good as they had hoped.
Tan Shuo said in a deep voice, “These people are extremely strong and difficult to deal with.”
“What’s to be afraid of? We can always respawn. We just need to find a way to drain their mental strength,” Li Shaoqiang, invigorated by his significant boost in strength, looked at Fang Heng. “This mission has a time limit, Mr. Fang. If we wait, we might not get another chance. Let’s just go all in!”
“Okay.”
Fang Heng observed the invaders’ combat patterns from afar, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Let’s go, follow me.”
With that, Fang Heng stepped out from behind the wall and, along with a few revived mausoleum guard priests, moved toward a nearby stone chamber.
“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”
Before they could get close to the stone chamber, dense black projectiles shot out from within.
“Bang! Bang bang!”
Dark-colored shields materialized in front of the mausoleum guard priests.
The dark projectiles exploded, enveloping the area in a thick black fog.
Dense spectral hands reached out from the ground, attempting to grab the mausoleum guard priests and drag them down.
Soul Mire!
These invaders were adept at using this tactic to deal with mausoleum guard priests!
Fang Heng naturally would not let them succeed so easily. He gathered his hands in front of him to form a seal.
“Wall of Bones!”
“Bang bang!!!”
The hard bone wall spread out from the sides of the walls!
It created a solid path ahead!
What?
The necromancers in the hall were startled and hadn’t reacted in time.
“Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!”
The bone path exploded violently!
The intense explosion caused the ground to turn into a mire.
The trapped mausoleum priests and guards slowly moved forward again.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng lightly tapped his toes on the ground and swiftly darted forward.
The necromancers gathered in the hall were greatly surprised.
He was even changing tactics?
“Be careful! That guard priest is a problem!”
Someone immediately noticed Fang Heng, who was rushing toward the stone chamber not far away.
“Stop him!”
Fang Heng frowned deeply.
In mid-air, dozens of soul chains surged toward him from all directions!
Fang Heng mobilized his mental strength, quickly extending his hands in front of him to gather and form a seal.
“Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!”
A large number of dark spikes condensed around him and surged toward the soul chains.
“Bang! Bang bang!!!”
The spikes struck the soul chains, causing them to explode in mid-air!
The violent explosion sent Fang Heng flying backward.
The shockwave from the explosion even forced the undead faction members in the stone chamber to retreat several steps.
Everyone was astonished.
Elite guards?
They had never encountered such difficult mausoleum priests or guards before in the middle layer of the mausoleum.
Before they could relax, figures of mausoleum guards and priests emerged from the exploding black fog.
This was bad!
They had broken through the outer layer!
Fang Heng crashed heavily against the wall, slowly pushing himself up.
Despite being in some sort of possessed state, the backlash effect in his sea of consciousness meant he couldn’t fully utilize his mental strength.
He could only exert about seventy percent of his power.
Now it was up to his companions.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo mingled with the mausoleum guards and priests, seizing the opportunity Fang Heng had created to enter the stone chamber, and began a desperate fight!
Unfortunately, their hard power was still lacking.
Soon, the two were reduced to ashes.
Five minutes later, after respawning, they arrived at the entrance of the stone chamber and found Fang Heng to regroup.
