Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 50: Enhanced Strength
I didn't give up, and checked several times again and again, confirming that I was not dead, still had the title of the first corpse king, the "Supreme Corpse Crown" on my head was still there, and I had the title of "God-defying". But apart from these, there was only this extremely weak body left. This should be because I suffered a heavy blow in the "Dead Soul Space". My soul was extremely fragile, but it was miraculously not dead. This state was possible. It was the price of surviving a disaster. The probability of occurrence was extremely low. I remember seeing an introduction to this situation. After thinking it through, it was not so strange. However, as the winner of the battle against the heaven, I got nothing. I didn't get any extra skills, any increased attributes or abilities, and I didn't get any equipment items like the "Corpse King Crown". Even the most basic qualifications did not increase. All this did not show any signs of killing the "law enforcer". In theory, it seemed that I was the winner, but I paid such a huge price and sacrificed almost all of my capable subordinates. What did I get? Is it just the false name of "God-defying"?
Apart from the tens of millions of zombies standing there, I didn't have many people left after the battle. The blood bat couple was seriously injured by the continuous spraying of "blood evil" and was still in hibernation. They were slowly recovering their energy. It would be impossible for them to wake up in a few days. The strange thing was that Red Star had cut off contact with me for the first time. I summoned it for a long time, but there was no response at all. I remember that when I lost consciousness, it obeyed my command and had already launched a "flash combo" against Santos. Did something unexpected happen? But it seemed to me that it should not be dead, but was in a special state completely isolated from the outside world and unable to obey the call. There are really strange things every year, and there are more today!
Fortunately, Taotao and Xiaobai were both safe and sound. They heard my call and quickly rushed over. From them, I learned what happened after I lost consciousness. I was shot and severely injured. My body was shaking and my mind was already confused. Fortunately, the javelin that pierced my body actually rushed forward until it disappeared, and did not quickly turn back to attack again. Otherwise, I would not be able to dodge at this time and would be dead. Then I fell off the horse. At this time, I had completely lost consciousness, but my body did not disappear. It seemed that I was in a state of serious injury and dying, just as I expected. This is a situation that may occur when the health value is infinitely close to zero. If I receive a little more attack, I will die immediately.
After Santos threw this fatal shot, he seemed to be seriously injured. He stood still and did not pursue the victory. Red Star had just rushed in front of him and launched a "flash combo" to attack him repeatedly, finally killing him. He did not move again until his death. It seemed that he was at the end of his life and was about to die, and he almost dragged me to be buried with him. What a vicious heart he has.
What? I was so angry that I almost jumped up. Red Star actually absorbed the soul energy of Santos after killing him? How could this disloyal idiot and mentally retarded idiot do this? For the undead creatures that have signed a contract with me, the seniority points and other benefits after killing the enemy will naturally belong to me. However, if they absorb the soul energy of the enemy they killed, all the benefits will belong to them, and I will get nothing. Their usual behavior is restricted by me. Without special orders, they are only responsible for killing enemies when I am here, and cannot absorb soul energy. Maybe because they fell into a coma this time, the stupid Red Star could not sense my existence and thought I had left. In the face of the huge soul energy temptation of the "law enforcer", they did not have time to check and immediately began to absorb the scattered soul energy after killing Santos. No wonder I got nothing. It took all the benefits. Not only did it eat all the meat, but it didn't even leave any soup for me. I worked so hard for a long time, but ended up helping it. I guess the reason I couldn't contact it is that it must have found a secluded place to "digest" such powerful spiritual energy it absorbed.
Alas, you can't force what is destined. After a long time of annoyance, I finally calmed down. This result is not bad. At least I defeated the "law enforcer" and kept my position as the first corpse king. From now on, I can ignore most of the "laws of the dead". Moreover, Red Star is my most capable subordinate and my pet. If it can become stronger, although it is not as beneficial as my own strength enhancement, it is also an acceptable outcome and will be of great help to me.
In the battle with the "Law Enforcer", I suffered heavy casualties. The Dark Knight Corps and the Black Warrior Corps of more than 100 people were completely wiped out. The strongest individual Red Star and Blood Bat couple are also in a state of rest. Now only Taotao, Xiaobai and the three corpse kings are available, and most of their combat effectiveness has been lost. What's more serious is that I have also suffered great damage. My attributes and abilities are less than one-tenth of the usual ones. It will take at least a few days to recover to normal. During this period, it is estimated that the action to recover my subordinates is likely to be beyond my ability. I hope that the "Resistance Alliance" and the "United Alliance" will not have any major actions recently, otherwise I am afraid that they will be disappointed.
Under this bad situation, I had to call back Wu Ma, who was in a "free-range" state, to serve me again. Anyway, the few black warriors that I had originally assigned to him to command had been tragically killed by the "law enforcers" by me. He was a commander without troops and could not do much now. It would be better for him to come back and help me for a while. When I made a comeback, I would assign him a few more men to drive. In fact, I was very considerate of our old friendship and did not call him back to help fight against the "law enforcers", otherwise he would probably die.
Most of the tens of millions of zombies were sent back to their hometowns by me. Although I became a "god-breaker", there are still three "chief judges" above me who can still control my actions. I don't have the courage to do such crazy actions that may destroy the entire zombie world. Before I am strong enough, I don't want to provoke these "authorities" again, so as not to cause death. Of course, I haven't completely given up the plan of using zombies to launch an undead war and take the opportunity to subdue the corpse witch. After all, I have a relatively high degree of freedom now. I picked out one million zombies to fight a reduced undead war. Such a small scale will reduce the harm to both sides. I guess the three "chief judges" should not have any objections!
Of course, this plan can only be implemented after I recover. I also have to reorganize the Dark Knight Corps and the Black Warrior Corps first, add a group of capable subordinates, and wait for Red Star and the Blood Bat couple to rest and return to the team. Only with their close protection can I dare to go deep into the territory of the corpse wizard. I have just experienced some excitement, and I am still scared and quite afraid of death.
However, without the support of my subordinates and with my own serious injuries, I naturally dared not act as ostentatiously as before. I rushed into the activity area of the Undead Knights and first moved to the territory of the Black Warriors, starting with the weaker guys. My abilities and attributes were greatly reduced, and the power of "mental attack" was also weakened a lot. Even the Black Warriors could not be subdued. I could only rely on the three corpse kings and Wu Ma to defeat them. With their strength, this was not difficult to do. The bad thing was that the source of my mental power was damaged, and the success rate of "Soul Contract" was also reduced a lot. It took a long time to forcibly subdue the defeated Black Warriors. Alas, since I became capable, this is the first time I have encountered such a "desolate" scene. I often failed in front of the weak Black Warriors. The "Soul Contract" was futile again and again, which was really painful.
After two days of hard work, Red Star still didn't know where to practice. Fortunately, as the Black Warrior Corps gradually took shape, my condition gradually recovered, and it was relatively easy to subdue them. The situation had just started to look a little better, and the blood bat couple finally woke up from hibernation. However, not only did they not help me at all, but they made things worse. The two of them were exhausted and urgently needed a lot of soul energy to replenish. However, their current weak bodies had no ability to "forage for food and nourishment". If they slowly recovered on their own, they would probably not make much progress in one or two months. This time, I suffered again. I needed to work tirelessly to capture the Black Warrior for them, beat them until they were only left with one breath, and then they would come forward to give them the final blow and absorb the dissipated soul energy. They were served with delicious food and drink, but they even complained that the Black Warrior's level was too low, the soul energy was not strong enough, and the recovery effect was limited. They were really used to being pampered. They didn't even look at the current situation. With these twenty or so Black Warriors, could they still kill the Terror Knights as they did before to nourish them? I don't even dare to provoke the Dark Knights - I'm not sure I can subdue them, and there's no need to waste time on them. Not only is it slow to defeat them, but I may also be threatened by other Undead Knights at any time, which is not worth the effort.
Three days later, the blood bat couple only slightly improved, still unable to fight, fortunately I finally recovered more than half of my condition, should be able to deal with the dark knight, this so-called "extreme weakness" is simply torture, it feels worse than the last time the soul died, the wounds are slow to heal, the pain is too long. Just as I was about to march forward to conquer the dark knight, good news came, Red Star finally finished tonic and reconnected with me, accepted the call and appeared in front of me in high spirits.
I resisted the urge to scold it. It was too late to say anything. Besides, the situation was special at that time. It was acting on instinct and there was nothing wrong with it. I looked at it carefully. Its body shape had not changed much. It was still in the growth stage. However, its strength seemed to have increased a lot. It was at least one level higher than before. The blood-red armor, helmet and saber became crystal clear and looked radiant. It seemed that the quality had also improved. Even the mount, the red poisonous spider, had changed. Many important parts of its body, such as its eight legs and head, were covered with a thin layer of blood-colored armor. It looked similar to the material of the Red Star Armor. Its defense ability should have been enhanced. The most conspicuous thing is that there are three blood-red bone spears inserted behind Red Star, about one meter long, which look similar to the javelin used by Santos. I quickly checked it out and found that it was a new ability after absorbing the soul energy of the "law enforcer". It is called "life-demanding flying spear". It can hurt the enemy by throwing it, but it cannot be recycled. It must absorb the soul energy of other undead creatures to transform it into a bone spear. The more soul energy condensed in the bone spear, the stronger its power. According to Red Star's current strength, it needs to absorb the soul energy of at least several terrifying giant bear knights to transform it into a bone spear. Each throw consumes 20% of its mental strength and 10% of its physical strength. It is extremely powerful. It can severely injure or even kill a terrifying giant bear knight with just one shot, which amazed me.
Through actual combat tests, his strength, speed, etc. have been significantly improved compared to before. He can easily defeat a Dark Knight and give his opponent no chance to escape. Even if he is facing the Horror Giant Bear Knight alone, he is at a clear upper hand. He can defeat or kill his opponent after a fierce battle and will not suffer much damage himself. With the power of the three bone spears, he may not be able to take it lightly if he encounters an eighth-level Light Phantom Knight again. It's a pity that the conversion and manufacturing process is a bit troublesome. It takes several hours to make one spear, and he can only have three spears at most. They cannot be used easily unless it is a critical moment.
Seeing the actual combat performance of Red Star after its "comeback", I finally did not waste the huge price I paid for killing the "law enforcer". I felt more balanced. It's mine, and its improvement is equal to the enhancement of my strength. Alas, if it had not absorbed Santos's soul energy, then the benefits would definitely belong to me. This "life-seeking flying gun " is definitely not suitable for the necromancer. I wonder if it will reward me with the skill of "Thunder Fire Cave Heaven". With the improvement in other aspects, I believe I will become stronger!
With the further enhanced Red Star, the following things finally went much more smoothly. The Dark Knight was no match at all. Even three or five sieges could be defeated by it alone. With my full recovery, the process of subduing the Dark Knight became smoother and smoother, and the Blood Bat couple was finally able to get more adequate supplies, absorbing a large amount of the Dark Knight's soul energy, which accelerated the recovery of their bodies. With the comeback of the strong characters, the three corpse kings had no place to use their skills and were driven back by me. The fourth corpse king Luha was sent back to the zombies' territory to take charge, so as not to be accused of "ignoring political affairs". It's always good to be careful. The second and third corpse kings rushed to the vicinity of the corpse witch's territory, responsible for commanding and dispatching the one million zombies left behind, making a general mobilization before the war, and ready to launch an undead war against the corpse witch at any time.
