Half an hour later.
Bai Xiaowen's personal guard squad was in utter chaos against six Bone Swordsmen.
I was a fool. A complete fool.
I thought the Bone Swordsmen were just like those stupid zombies we'd met earlier, with no minds of their own. I didn't know they could call for backup.
As soon as I finished resting, I started the fight and sent Kitz in first to hold them off. He always listened to me, followed every word I said. So in he went.
I stayed behind to control the Terror Knights and teach them how to attack with energy. After showing them step by step, I asked Kitz to demonstrate.
I called Kitz, but he didn't answer. When I turned to look, there were bats all over the ground, but our Kitz was nowhere to be seen...
After letting his mind wander for a tenth of a second, Bai Xiaowen hurriedly pushed those ridiculous thoughts aside.
Kitz was yelling at the top of his lungs as he turned into a swarm of bats and fled for his life.
The Bone Swordsmen had basic intelligence. Besides patrolling small areas, they could call for backup!
Worse still, their alert range was enormous. One shriek, and every Bone Swordsman in the tomb passage came charging after them.
Bai Xiaowen gritted his teeth and raised a hand toward the corpse of a Bone Swordsman.
He spent Soul Essence and activated Dark Rebirth!
Though the Bone Swordsman was a level 13 Elite Tier creature, Bai Xiaowen was the equivalent of a level 10 lord. With an advantage of two full tiers, his Origin Force Value exceeded the creature's, and he successfully raised the dead Bone Swordsman.
Fortunately, Dark Rebirth used Bai Xiaowen's original Origin Force Value limit, not the reduced limit left after
