Khajit's Swan Song, Enri's Resonance Triggered!
Corpse Pit.
Puff--Puff--
Khajit lay among the corpses, his eyes lifeless and pupils dilated, his heart beating slowly.
Khajit ignored the overwhelming stench emanating from the rotting corpses around him and the deafening roar of magical collisions coming from the outside world.
With so many rotting corpses, there should have been plenty of mosquitoes and flies, but there wasn't a single insect in the area because the Negative Energy was too concentrated.
Any life that enters here will only be corrupted!
Her already emaciated body was now reduced to nothing more than a thin layer of skin.
A layer of gray gradually covered the back of Khajit's eyes.
Am I going to die again?
His consciousness gradually became blurred, and the erosion of Negative Energy had already left his body riddled with holes, making it impossible for him to become Undead.
In a daze.
A gentle, blurry face appeared in Khajit's remaining consciousness.
Who is it?
It's completely unclear.
It looks so familiar.
So... it was my mother.
Darkness completely enveloped everything.
boom--
The terrifyingly vast Negative Energy and deathly aura emanating from the entire Corpse Pit, like water droplets falling into a pot of boiling oil, exploded and boiled violently, or like a waterspout, surged into Khajit's body at a Berserk speed.
Khajit's body was rapidly eroded; in the blink of an eye, his internal organs and skin disappeared completely, leaving only a skeleton.
The seemingly fragile bones, under the constant infusion of Negative Energy, rapidly became solid and rugged, transforming into the physique of some kind of beast.
Wisps of pus-like yellow and green smog rose from every bone, gradually enveloping the entire body.
"My mother cannot be brought back to life."
"Then let all the living be dragged into death!"
"Roar!"
A soliloquy, seemingly emanating from the Abyss, came from the Corpse Pit.
They had previously fled the battlefield.
The Gray-robed Magic Caster, who resembled Principality, stood guard near the Corpse Pit, intently watching the two figures fighting high in the sky.
"Haha, as expected of the alliance leader."
"To be able to fight against such a powerful Angel, this is no different from the Demon Gods of 200 years ago."
The Gray-robed Magic Caster's face was filled with admiration:
"No, even the legendary Thirteen Heroes might not be as powerful as the Alliance Leader!"
suddenly.
The Gray-robed Magic Caster felt a chill run through his body, and his eyes widened as he looked behind him.
Click!
Click!
The sound of bones grinding together gradually came from the depths of the Corpse Pit, becoming clearer and clearer.
A beast-like Undead, nearly two meters tall and shimmering with green and yellow haze, crawled out of the Corpse Pit.
"This is..."
The Gray-robed Magic Caster's pupils contracted, his body trembled, and the thought of fleeing for his life instantly surfaced in his mind.
However!
My body is immobile.
The Gray-robed Magic Caster seemed to be affected by some kind of negative state, standing stiffly in place.
An invisible wave emanated from the Undead.
Bang!
The Gray-robed Magic Caster rolled his eyes, his life force dissipated, and he fell to the ground as a corpse, raising a cloud of dust.
This powerful Magic Caster, who had entered the "Hero Realm" and whose strength was considered a cornerstone of Central City nation, died silently and without a trace.
Moment!
The yellow-green smog Undead, its aura surging, swayed gently as it stepped over the Gray-robed Magic Caster's corpse and headed towards the center of the battlefield.
There is a great deal of the aura of the living there, and it wants to bring death to everyone.
Above the sky.
The enormous, sacred figure and the Magic Caster chased and fought in the air, leaving the humans and Demi-Human on the ground stunned.
The scene before my eyes.
It is enough to become part of an epic, and be sung by countless Bard.
The figures of Cleric and Paladin craned their necks to look up at the sky, and a sense of luck arose in their hearts at being able to witness all of this.
"God!"
"The legendary Demon Gods and Thirteen Heroes are probably nothing more than this."
A Cleric in the [Sunlight Scripture], gazing at the majestic and powerful figure of the Highest-Tier Angel, suddenly knelt down and prayed devoutly with his hands clasped.
Captain Nigun was bound by magic and unable to dodge the "Pale Flame" magic attack, so he died. However, his body was barely preserved by members of the Scripture Forces.
"Free Will" Tang.
"That guy."
Kelart and Remedios had already met up. They exchanged a glance, remained silent, but their eyes both held a strange glint in them.
As two individuals hailed as geniuses in the Holy Kingdom and the right-hand men of the first Holy Queen, both Kelart and Remedios are extremely proud.
But at this very moment.
Kelart and the other woman knew perfectly well that the battle before them was beyond their control, and they couldn't even offer assistance.
"Kelart, that prop..." Remedios suddenly spoke up.
"No."
"Its power is formidable, but it's not suited for individual combat like this." Kelart hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"Unexpectedly, this disaster caused by the Undead will ultimately lead everyone's hopes to be placed on an adventurer."
Remedios looked up at the sky, gripped the Holy Sword tightly, then slowly released it, a complex mix of emotions rising within him.
Of the two powerful enemies, the "Death Knight" was indirectly eliminated by Tang Zheng. Now, even the most terrifying leader of the [Zurrernorn] alliance is being dealt with by this same guy.
It's truly indescribable!
Right now.
Both humans and Demi-Human were intently watching the battle high in the sky.
Everyone was well aware that whether Tang Zheng Zheng's Principality could defeat the Alliance Leader would truly determine their victory.
"God, please bless the captain."
Enri clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She had never believed in God before, but at this moment, she hoped with utmost sincerity that the legendary God would descend.
Protect everyone, protect our captain.
Click...
The peculiar aura emanating from Enri showed signs of gradually collapsing at this moment.
Just when everyone was on edge --
From the front of the Demi-Human came cries of panic and terror.
"What kind of Undead is this?!"
"Kill it."
Why are you all standing there the Unassailable?
"..."
"They're all dead! Everyone's died for no reason!"
An atmosphere of panic quickly spread from the direction of the Demi-Human, and the entire Demi-Human force gradually became restless.
Even the two Ten Elites, "Rainbow Scales" Rokesh and "Beast General" Hectowaizes, were unable to suppress their panic.
"How come these Demi-Human..."
Hearing the commotion ahead, Remedios looked up angrily, but his expression froze on his face the next moment.
All I saw was...
Large numbers of Demi-Human were powerless to resist, collapsing to the ground like harvested wheat.
And that's what caused all of this.
It was a skeleton of an Undead, about two meters tall, resembling a horse or wild beast, its entire body emanating a purulent yellow and green haze.
Wherever this Undead passed, the Demi-Human couldn't even put up a fight; they stood frozen in place, then died without a trace of life.
A bizarre scene.
A chill ran down Remedios's spine for no apparent reason. "What is that?!"
"Soul Eater?"
"Why, why is there Soul Eater!" Kelart's light blue pupils exploded, his fingertips trembled, and he almost screamed.
Both the "Death Knight" and the "Soul Eater" are known as legendary Undead. Since he wanted to deal with the Death Knight, Kelart naturally consulted the ancient texts, thus indirectly learning about another Legendary Undead.
This is a kind of Undead that greedily devours the souls of the living; legend has it that they once appeared in the Beastman cities of the Central Continent.
It caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people and turned the entire city into ruins, earning it the name "The Silent City".
To fight this monster, one must at least possess the ability to wield Third-Tier Magic; otherwise, it will be difficult to even face this monster directly, as it spreads a power called "fear."
"Remedios..."
Kelart's neck was stiff.
"What's wrong?" Remedios drew his Holy Sword.
"Escape!"
"Run!" Kelart, pale-faced, turned around and roared without any regard for his image:
"Holy Knights, Cleric Corps, all retreat!"
Remedios was stunned; she had never seen her sister so distraught.
Panic spread like a plague across the entire battlefield!
The Demi-Human, who were at the front and outnumbered the most, were the first to break down and flee in unison to the rear.
Terrified screams could be heard everywhere.
The dust kicked up by the fleeing Demi-Human, the ground littered with human and Demi-Human corpses, and the remains of Undead that had been transformed long ago.
"Everyone..."
Enri stood there, bewildered, staring blankly at the chaotic, disordered, and panic-ridden battlefield before her.
Located at the very center of the battlefield.
Enri suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance. "Life is so fragile."
"Enri, get out of here right now!"
The Verdant Leaf Witch rushed up from behind, grabbed Enri's arm, and tried to take her away.
"No."
Enri gently withdrew her arm, then smiled slightly, "Captain is still fighting, how can I leave?"
"The captain is safe..."
The Verdant Leaf Witch spoke quickly, her eyes filled with terror as she looked ahead, for she could already vaguely see the figure of the Soul Eater.
Etc!
The Verdant Leaf Witch's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She looked down at her freed hand and wondered when Enri had become so strong.
"Miss Cuiye, do you know, I just prayed to the gods with utmost sincerity, only to find that the only response I received was my own voice."
Enri blinked, her deep brown pupils revealing disappointment, yet also sparkling with a different kind of brilliance:
"I'm just a peasant woman from a border village."
"From the very beginning, I knew how vast the gap was between me and the Captain."
Enri raised her hand, grasped the chestnut-gold three-strand braid tied in front of her chest, and looked up at the holy figure fighting in the sky, her eyes filled with longing:
"But even now, I've discovered that the gap is even larger than I imagined."
"Because those high-ranking nobles, the captains of the Paladin, and legendary powerhouses like the Ten Demi-Human Heroes can now only look up at the sky or run away..."
The anxiety on the Verdant Leaf Witch's face grew increasingly intense; she felt like she was going crazy.
No!
Enri has gone mad.
What on earth is this kid doing?!
Seeing the Demi-Human and humans desperately fleeing around her, and the Soul Eater now fully in front of her, the Verdant Leaf Witch broke out in a cold sweat and wished she could abandon Enri and run away immediately.
But if she does that!
The master will definitely kill her, and also her sister's life.
"What exactly do you want to do!" The Verdant Leaf Witch's voice became suppressed. She was now considering whether to disobey her master's orders, knock Enri unconscious, and forcibly take her away.
"I have no idea..."
Enri muttered to herself, her brown pupils fixed on the Soul Eater emanating a yellowish-green haze in her field of vision:
I want to get closer to the captain.
"I want to help the captain."
"I think... no one's life should end like this."
Enri turned to look at the anxious Verdant Leaf Witch beside her, smiling with pursed lips, tears still glistening at the corners of her eyes:
"Miss Cuiye, I think I can be of help."
Splash--
A gust of air blew by, causing Enri's dirty, slightly torn skirt to flutter.
Enri bent down and picked up a longsword from the ground.
The Verdant Leaf Witch's pupils contracted inexplicably, and she took a step back.
Remedios and Kelart, who were retreating, were stunned when they saw Enri and the other person standing the Unassailable in the center of the battlefield in the distance.
"What are those two doing? Are they crazy?!"
Above the battlefield.
Tang Zheng and the Alliance Leader, who were engaged in fierce combat, also noticed the scene on the ground.
"Soul Eater? It actually succeeded!"
"Khajit, haha, you truly are my outstanding disciple." The alliance leader was clearly somewhat surprised, and then burst into a triumphant laugh.
"Cleric, you have utterly lost!"
"Do you know what that is? That's Soul Eater, Legendary Undead even more terrifying than Death Knight."
The leader of the alliance did not miss any opportunity and launched an attack. He had noticed that the Principality was moving more slowly and that the feathers on his wings were showing signs of dissipation.
"Khajit?"
He hadn't expected that the Alliance Leader would even bring out Soul Eater, which, judging from the other party's words, was transformed from Khajit.
If it really is Soul Eater, then almost everyone present would die.
In the game "YGGDRASIL", you would only Instant Death once after fighting the Soul Eater several hundred times, so it wasn't a big threat. However, in the New World, the effect of this Instant Death Aura is continuous.
The stronger you are, the lower the chance of being judged, but you have no resistance to Instant Death; once you pass the judgment, you will definitely die.
Tang Zheng immediately controlled the Principality, intending to launch a magical attack on the Soul Eater.
I won't let you succeed!
The alliance leader, who had been suppressed all along, finally seized the initiative and immediately took action to stop them.
Just when both sides were locked in a tense standoff!
At the center of the battlefield below.
boom--
A dazzling white light suddenly materialized out of thin air.
Enri gripped an ordinary longsword in both hands, her brown pupils gleaming with a white light, as if talking to herself, or perhaps seeking something:
"Please, everyone, lend me your strength!"
Everyone?
The Verdant Leaf Witch took another step back and subconsciously glanced around.
Buzz--Buzz--
The shimmering Radiance, like a swarm of fireflies, floated up from the battlefield and converged on the blade in Enri's hand from all directions.
The sudden scene caused everyone to pause in their actions.
This white light was not a divine power, but a pure "positive" power that no one had ever felt before.
"Enri? What exactly happened?" Tang Zheng was the most bewildered at this moment.
Buzz--
The Attribute Panel vibrates.
"Skill Discovered: Heroic Moment", requires Special Class [XXXX], current conditions... Failed...
"Information retrieval failed..."
"Skill Information Acquisition - ' Heroic Moment ': By harnessing the power of a fallen ally, temporarily gain a physical attack attribute bonus, raising it to the same level as the enemy and allied ally with the highest physical attack stat."
"Skill Discovery ' Heroic Moment ' requires Special Class [Hero - Believer (Unique)], no current class, skill acquisition failed, requires 3 skill points."
"No prerequisite High-tier Class, skill acquisition failed, requires 6 skill points"
"No prerequisite Mid-tier Class, skill acquisition failed, 9 skill points required."
"No Basic Class... [Genius] transformation in progress... [Genius] transformation failed, no Basic Class exists, 12 skill points required."
"Would you like to spend 12 skill points to forcibly acquire this Special Class?"
"If you do not meet the requirements for obtaining a profession, but acquire Special Class, your profession will suffer a deterioration."
Reminder! This is the only available profession.
Please select whether you Job Advancement.
A dense array of job information appeared on the Attribute Panel.
"Enri... Hero Class..."
Tang Zheng was unusually silent; with just a thought, he could obtain this power.
A completely independent "Hero" Special Class.
Through the information revealed on the Attribute Panel, Tang Zheng was able to clearly perceive the power contained within this Special Class.
"Hero?"
In a daze, Tang Zheng seemed to sense a certain will inherent in the profession, and suddenly understood why Enri had obtained this profession, and knew it very clearly.
He absolutely could not have obtained this profession through normal means.
Hero are never born strong, but rather possess a will and a choice, a confidence that leads them from weakness to strength!
This is Enri's unique will and choice!
"Ha ha."
Tang Zheng, now inside the body of the Principality, suddenly laughed. Since transmigrating to this world, he had never felt such genuine joy.
It's like walking on a deserted road, and suddenly someone can keep up with you.
"It's your power, Enri." Tang Zheng smiled brightly.
"No."
"Job Advancement failed!"
