Facing the Undead

Back at the Temple of Bahru, I recounted the events to everyone. Except for Twisted Fate, who still harbored some doubt, everyone else trusted my judgment. ★😳 🍓🐜

I told Twisted Fate what had happened in the past, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't care what Evelynn had done.

Since that's the case, he won't fight the Shadow Isles with us anymore; this matter still depends on the few of us.

Fortunately, the Bilgewater have now settled down. Thanks to the propaganda of the Channel Clearers, everyone believes that Gangplank is still alive. The Western and Northern Passages have also reconciled smoothly and no longer mention the struggle for supremacy.

After Gangplank killed the captain of the Sea Worm fleet, all the crew members were assigned to the Eastern Passage, and the Ghost Claw also made peace with the Western Passage.

Illaoi said that Poseidon would not gather at the temple, and if the Shadow Isles really attacked, she would intercept them in the sea, just like last time.

Now everyone has only one thought in mind: fight the Shadow Isles!

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The weather here grew colder and colder, but there was still no trace of the dead.

The commotion on Darius's side is quite significant; the people of the Bilgewater are currently discussing Noxus's conquest of Shurima.

After Bilgewater stabilized, each shipping route sent over a hundred magical crew members to form an army of three to four hundred men, who trained daily.

Riven and I weren't idle either. It's rare to have experts like Tam, Illaoi, and Udyr around, and their guidance has been a great help in improving our skills.

Fortunately, the Teacher Strength Speed Shadow Precision, have also arrived. It turns out they were sent by Tam long ago to gather intelligence. Now they've told us everything about the island. We just didn't expect that the pirate captain Gangplank, would be on our side. We all know most of the information.

Of course, the improvement in combat power is quite significant. With the strength of these individuals, their combined strength would be terrifying!

Especially Teacher Li, who is originally Dragon Race, and after being guided by Udyr, she can now easily use the power of dragons!

She was still the same as always, very friendly to acquaintances but indifferent to strangers. Teacher Su, being a chatterbox, brought a lot of fun to everyone and quickly became friends with Gangplank's people.

Ten more days passed in the intense preparations for battle when one of Gangplank's men brought news that a Black Mist had appeared on the southern sea!

Without a doubt, the Shadow Isles have arrived!

We sailed south and saw the Black Mist in the distance, filled with wails and resentful cries. We didn't know what it was...

As I got closer, I finally saw the true face of the undead. They looked very much like humans, their bodies radiating a translucent, eerie green light, and they strode forward, wielding various weapons.

They can float on the water without any tools, which may be due to their inherent ability or the power of the Black Mist.

"Be careful! They ignore swords and gunpowder. You provide magical support from a distance!"

"Since they are born in darkness, let's throw more flares into it and light these undead to death!"

"If we can't hold out any longer, hurry back and evacuate those who didn't have time to escape!"

Gangplank kept giving orders to his crew; in such an atmosphere, the best way to dispel fear was to get people moving!

Illaoi was the first to rush over; she hated these undead to the core, and the destruction of the Hailan Family was inextricably linked to them!

She was enveloped in a faint Golden Light, just like when she fought me. The difference was that the braids on her head had turned into snakes, making her look even more powerful than before!

As she approached the Black Mist, she threw the stone statue into the sea. With a surge of waves, several enormous tentacles emerged from the surface and slammed into the undead, creating a spectacular scene!

Teacher Li transformed into a giant dragon and soared into the sky. The Dragon Flame from his mouth, combined with the incendiary bombs thrown by the crew, bombarded the Black Mist, and a raging fire broke out on the sea!

Seeing her reminded me of the fire dragon that Jarvan and I had struggled to defeat before—she looked exactly the same!

The Swift Shadow Defense Precision and the others mounted the dragon's back and attacked using their own methods. It was then that I realized they were all mages!

Udyr, transformed into a firebird, followed closely behind. Though small in size, his flames were far more intense, and he could scorch the sea surface without the aid of incendiary bombs.

I wanted to see Tam's attack methods, but instead he leaped into the sea and never came back up.

Riven and I don't know magic, but our Natural Power surpass magic and can definitely harm the undead. In addition, we can use Wind Force to manipulate fire, making it even more powerful!

The priests of the Temple of Bahru also possessed some Natural Power, but they were better at defense, so they stayed with the crew to prevent any from escaping.

Everyone used their strength to strike the undead, halting the advance of the Black Mist. Faced with powerful magical attacks, they were not as troublesome as expected.

Soon, the large cloud of Black Mist shrank by half, and we surrounded it from all sides.

The crew marched forward triumphantly, but I remained uneasy, for we had not encountered a single powerful undead.

I know quite a few powerful figures from the Shadow Isles, such as Hecarim, Kalista, Yorick, Thresh so on.

If these guys show up, the first to suffer will be Gangplank's crew. They are at most mid-level mages, and once they get close, the twelve priests alone will not be able to protect everyone.

Just as we were advancing, something terrible happened: Black Mist suddenly surged up behind us, and the undead we had just defeated were resurrected!

There are relatively few enemies behind Teacher Li, and it seems that Dragon Flame can eliminate them.

The situation suddenly reversed, and we found ourselves in a dilemma. The crew members were finally approached by the undead!

The twelve priests displayed their power, constantly using their shields to disperse the onslaught of the undead, but they were like a virus, difficult to eradicate and their numbers were only increasing.

The priests were quickly overwhelmed, Riven and I quickly shifted our focus, using the gale to propel the sails and forcefully reverse the wind to help them escape.

"What are you doing!" Gangplank shouted from the ship.

"They can't hold on much longer, let's retreat and see what we can do!"

"Don't even think about it! Who needs your concern! Stop the wind right now!"

Don't you care at all about the lives of your men?

"Do you know the consequences of the undead landing? We will fight to the death, but we cannot retreat!"

"We swear to follow the captain to the death!"

Gangplank was resolute, and his crew was ready to die. In that case, let's fight with all our might!
