Rein frowned as he watched the battle in the octagon reach its climax.

This is a fight to the death, which means the best outcome would be for the Kolman Warrior to defeat Uhm Lopez, and then for High-tier Extraordinary to intervene and forcefully end the battle.

If they lose, Kolman Warrior might be beaten to death.

However, judging from the current situation, Young Master Uhm, who is empowered by the [Strength Totem], clearly has the upper hand. The totem has given him a significant boost in physical strength, and the continuous recovery of his strength and energy is making his advantage increasingly apparent.

In the stands, apart from a few gamblers who had bet on Uhm to win and were still shouting, everyone else fell silent.

Finally, as time went on, the outcome of the battle began to shift.

Blood dripped from the young master Uhm's face, his features contorted in a terrifying grimace. Behind him, the fiery lion grew ever more menacing, as if reborn from the flames, its aura growing ever more chilling.

Among the gamblers were High-tier Extraordinary who knew martial arts, and they were all amazed when they saw this scene.

"Such high comprehension! It seems that the title of 'Omar's once-in-a-century fighting genius' is not just for show."

"Yes, I must say, this young master Uhm certainly deserves the praise. Among Third Tier fighters, I have never seen anyone stronger than him."

"So he used this barbarian to hone his fist intent. No wonder. With his combat strength, he's Third Tier Extraordinary. Only barbarians can really have a good fight with him. Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to spar with him."

"Tsk tsk. His 'Fist Momentum' is domineering and ruthless. Lionheart Viscount lives up to his name. I'm afraid that in a few years, Uhm will definitely have a place among the top experts."

"."

Rein listened expressionlessly to the comments others made about Uhm, his eyes growing colder and colder.

How could he not see that this Uhm was indeed extraordinary? Now that he possessed the [Strength Totem], if this fellow didn't die young, he would surely become a great threat in the future.

However you look at it, this guy is just a "bait".

If the totem were on a top-tier Transcendent being, those who coveted it might have some reservations. But on a Third Tier Extraordinary being like this, if someone with a volatile temper like Bazel were here, he would probably rush up and kill that guy immediately, then rely on his skills to break out.

But clearly, there must be an ambush in this Mechanical City that can stop even legendary experts.

If we can "fish" our way into it, that would be ideal; if not, there's always the auction two months later. An elder-level Habu is definitely a better bait than a Divine Power Totem.

"Bang!"

Not long after, another cannon shot rang out, and Uhm punched the Kolman Warrior in the chest. A cracking sound of bone breaking was heard, signaling the end of the duel.

Once the tide turns against you, there is no chance of reversing it.

The Kolman Tribe warrior ultimately couldn't outlast Uhm, who possessed the [Strength Totem] to restore his strength, and was repeatedly knocked away, crashing heavily onto the octagonal cage's net.

The Kolman Warrior appeared to be losing consciousness, repeatedly trying to stand up and stagger as he attempted to kill the "invader" who had stolen the tribe's totem, but each time he was severely injured and fell, growing weaker and weaker.

Rein stared coldly, his eyes reflecting only the bloodied Kolman Warrior.

A thought seemed to be breaking out of his mind—a strong desire for higher-level power to eradicate the injustice in his heart.

Uhm, blinded by rage, relentlessly pounded into the already severely wounded and unconscious Kolman Warrior.

He was like a lion feeding on its prey, fiercely protective of its food.

The gladiators who wanted to come up and announce the result were so frightened by his menacing shout of "Get out!" that they collapsed to the ground.

Thousands of people witnessed this bloody scene and only then did they realize that this noble young master had such a cruel side.

Even the gamblers couldn't bear to watch that brutal act, which resembled that of a butcher.

No one could stop Uhm from killing that Kolman Warrior, and no one tried to stop him.

This is a "bloody trap".

Just as Kolman Warrior on the arena, was on the verge of death, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the venue.

"Warning! Warning! S-Class Corpse Tide is approaching! All citizens, please immediately participate in the city defense! I repeat."

Upon hearing this, the arena immediately erupted in commotion.

S-Class Corpse Tide means the situation is extremely urgent, and this could be a major event that could lead to the destruction of the territory.

"S-Class Corpse Tide? How could such a high-level zombie horde appear?"

"Yes, the highest level of zombie horde threat that 'Black Wind Territory' has encountered recently is only B+, so how come an S-level one has suddenly appeared?"

"I don't know! Let's go out and check quickly, or the city might be in danger of falling tonight!"

"."

As the crisis struck, everyone stopped paying attention to the gladiatorial match that had already been decided and rushed out of the main gate.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the alarm, Rein let out a soft exclamation.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Gaia had said before, "Could it be that he was right? Did I heal Nareta and attract a high-level zombie horde?"

He glanced one last time at Uhm, who had stopped fighting on the stage, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and then followed the crowd out.

The city was in complete chaos, and flares were fired into the sky, illuminating the entire night.

Thump, thump, thump

The roar of muskets and cannons was incessant.

However, "Black Wind Territory" is no longer a hunter base. The city walls are guarded by city guards and registered residents. Neutral hunters do not need to, and have no obligation to, defend the city walls.

The streets of this "War Elephant-class" Mechanical City are nearly two hundred meters above the ground, surrounded by towering war structures, arrow towers, cannons, and Magic Tower.

When the zombie horde attacks the city, staying in the Mechanical City is the safest option.

But Rein remembered what Gaia had said before: the better Nareta's situation was, the stronger the power of the bloodline curse would become.

Rein healed all her injuries, which was probably the best treatment she had ever received in her life.

He had a vague feeling that this horde of zombies was probably not simple.

He knew very well that if there were large undead, their first target would definitely be the towering Mechanical City!

So, Rein climbed up a tower to determine the size of the zombie horde.

Upon seeing this, his expression suddenly changed.

The tidal wave of zombies had already reached a kilometer away from the Mechanical City, where they were blasted into pieces and torn apart by the interwoven Firepower Net. These small zombies, as long as their numbers were not endless, did not pose much of a threat to the Mechanical City.

But when Rein looked closely, he saw a colossal creature, three or four hundred meters tall, appearing in the hazy black mist in the distance.

Although the monster's exact appearance was unclear, it could be vaguely discerned as a strange creature with enormous bull horns hundreds of meters long. After a short while, it slowly emerged from the mist. It had bull horns, a sheep's head, but a human-like body and limbs. Its brown skin and bulging muscles exuded immense power.

This is a "Mummified Corpse," not a skeleton.

"What is this thing?"

Having witnessed so many zombie hordes in Black Dragon City, Rein was quite knowledgeable. However, after searching the database with his Mind Core, he confirmed he found no record of this strange creature in any documents or records.

Clearly, this could be a mythical beast from ancient times.

Moreover, it has not yet turned into bones; the "Mummified Corpse" state will retain most of its power from its lifetime.

Having witnessed the power of the "Legendary Skeleton" before, Rein immediately realized something was wrong when he saw this horned monster.

However, with only one, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, six blue phosphorescent flames suddenly appeared in the mist in the distance. The six flames formed a ring.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Rein thought the phosphorescent light was the flame in the eye socket of some kind of monster, but to his surprise, upon closer inspection, another strangely shaped, enormous figure appeared.

This was a gigantic, humanoid mummy, draped in a gray "veil" that resembled quicksand, its exposed skin shimmering with golden runes that looked like Sanskrit. Several phosphorescent flames emitted a chilling blue light behind its head, vaguely resembling the halo behind a Buddha's head. Death and holiness intertwined, creating an incredibly eerie sight.

Clearly, this is an ancient corpse of a powerful being from an unknown civilization.

Rein's eyelids twitched violently. This person looked like a high-ranking monk who had passed away, but he was too tall, looking like an ancient giant.

However, it's not over yet.

After these two enormous creatures appeared, another huge figure emerged from the mist.

This is a skeletal Skeleton Monster with bones as red as blood. It has two long demonic horns on its head and drags a hundred-meter-long, broad-bladed greatsword in its hand. The blade is chipped and broken, and as it drags it along, sparks fly everywhere, crushing the skeletons under its feet into dust.

"."

Rein had no intention of watching any longer; clearly, he had stirred up a hornet's nest tonight.

Upon seeing these three enormous creatures, he no longer had any desire to stay in the Mechanical City.

The Mechanical City is indeed invincible, but that's only against low-level skeletons that can't withstand its armor. It doesn't include super-level undead whose attacks can create rifts in the void!

Although the three giant monsters are still far away and their combat strength is unknown, Rein knows without a doubt that they must be very strong.

He didn't look back from the tower any longer and jumped. He planned to go to the civilian district on the ground before the Mechanical City closed its gates.

Although the city walls there were low, at least they attracted the firepower of low-level undead.

However, Rein also felt that things weren't too bad.

After all, he knew that there must be legendary experts from City of Radiance lying in ambush in the "Black Wind Territory" at this moment, and there was more than one!

Although those three monsters were powerful, those guys would never let them run rampant if they didn't want the city to be completely destroyed.

As Rein had predicted, there were quite a few experts hiding in the city.

At the very moment the zombie horde erupted, inside a Magic Tower in the Mechanical City where energy fluctuations were isolated by a barrier, the figure of a hooded assassin quietly emerged.

There were more than ten people in the room, all of whom were top-level masters with powerful auras.

The assassin reported to the Red Robe Mage with gold patterns, "Your His Majesty the King, several very troublesome, colossal undead have arrived from the horde outside. Cannons are having very limited effect on them, and the city lord is requesting reinforcements from the lords."

The mage in the dark red robe was none other than Kipling Winster, the first king of the Radiant Kingdom.

The fiery red totem on his face was shining brightly; it was clearly the [Fire Totem].

"A zombie horde? Not Beast Tide?"

Upon hearing this, Kipling asked a question in return.

Inside this isolated Magic Tower, he was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

The hooded assassin reported, "Yes, Your His Majesty the King. It's a horde of zombies."

Kipling immediately became alert and asked, "Have you seen that old barbarian, or perhaps Bazel?"

Hooded Assassin: "No. It seems this horde of zombies isn't being controlled by anyone."

That's strange.

Upon hearing this, Kipling looked puzzled.

Clearly, this "zombie horde" is somewhat unusual.

The Mechanical City of "Black Wind Territory" has been here for some time, and in theory, the undead within a radius of 100 kilometers have been almost completely eliminated. Why then did a large-scale zombie horde suddenly erupt tonight?

At this moment, another old woman, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, spoke up, "Those barbarians are proficient in the power of nature and skilled at controlling Beast Tide. This level of zombie horde is clearly beyond their capabilities."

The old woman was none other than Dia Bannira, one of the "Ten Great Legends" and the "Black Witch".

Her wrinkled skin, exposed to the air, shimmered with the emerald light of the green totem. The [Wood Totem] made this old witch, nearing the end of her life, appear ten years younger, radiating vitality.

"."

Kipling also felt that this was the right way.

Without saying much, he took out a crystal ball the size of a head, chanted a magic incantation, and the scene of the zombie horde attacking the Magic Tower appeared on the crystal ball.

Everyone in the room frowned as they looked at the three enormous monsters.

Seeing this, another Red Robe Mage said, "It looks like one of those super-level undead. We encountered one in the main city before. Their combat power was extremely troublesome, even surpassing legendary Transcendent. If we don't take action, this 'Black Wind Territory' might be breached."

No sooner had these words been spoken than a menacing voice rang out. "Hehe. Should I go and chop down those monsters for you?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the one who spoke was none other than Carlo Gracie, the Frost Moon Sword Master.

At this moment, a black canine dagger rested on his cross-legged lap. He gently stroked it with one hand, and a strange red light flashed in his eyes before disappearing.

Kipling noticed the sudden burst of ferocity in Carlo's eyes as he spoke, a hint of worry flashing across his face, but he said nothing.

He added, "Let us handle things in the city for now. Until that barbarian priest and Bazel show themselves, I'll have to trouble you all to remain hidden in this Magic Tower for a while."

After saying this, he gestured to several top-tier Transcendent beside him, and instantly more than half of the people in the Magic Tower disappeared.

At this moment, another person spoke up, "The Howling Wind Pass is under strict control; no one has been detected attempting to break through. In this wasteland overrun by corpses, it's hard to say whether Bazel and those barbarians are still alive. Are we being too cautious?"

"Hopefully we're being overly cautious."

Kipling: "In any case, let's wait for next month's auction. By then, the news should have spread to both empires. As long as Bazel and those barbarians hear the news, they'll have enough time to get here. Eliminating this threat will benefit all of us. Of course, it would be even better if they didn't come."

"The number of those barbarians who survived must be small; only that Great Shaman is somewhat troublesome. [White Wolf] Bazel is a reckless and impulsive brute. What I'm worried about is that Mysterious Woman whose identity is unknown—she might be a problem."

"Continue setting up the encirclement. When those barbarians show up, we absolutely cannot let them leave alive."

"By the way, go investigate what's going on with tonight's zombie horde!"

Thanks to 'Infinite Bitter Sea' for the 5,000-coin reward, and 'Second Yuan Yi Feng Ye Yu' for the regular reward.
