Volume 2 Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic: The Death Battle Chapter 154 Awakening (Part 1)
This was Li Wei's first impression upon opening his eyes. Looking around, Li Wei was surprised to find himself trapped inside a wooden box, which, no matter how you looked at it, resembled a coffin.
Is this where this mandatory mission begins?
Li Wei reached out and pushed open the coffin lid, then sat up.
Besides his own coffin, Li Wei saw more than a dozen other coffins arranged in this somewhat moldy and damp space.
Soon, the lid of the coffin next to them was pushed open, and a person sat up inside. Upon seeing Li Wei, the person was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "You... you are Li Wei?"
Her voice was gentle and delicate, and with her short hair and appearance, who else could it be but Zheng Yutong? Only someone whose strength was second only to Li Wei would be the second to wake up.
However, her appearance has changed somewhat.
First, there was her face, pale and bloodless, her eyes emitting a faint, eerie light, and the faint aura of death emanating from her.
Undead!
Li Wei shuddered. Wasn't this exactly the characteristic of the Undead?
Why did Zheng Yutong become Undead? This was the question that Li Wei was thinking about the moment he saw her, so much so that he didn't even hear what Zheng Yutong said.
"Li Wei, what happened to you?" Zheng Yutong, now Undead, was clearly looking at Li Wei with curiosity.
Li Wei then understood.
"What have I become?" Li Wei stretched out his hand and looked at it; his skin was pale and bloodless. Instantly, he understood.
She herself had also become Undead Constitution, otherwise Zheng Yutong wouldn't have had that expression.
Seeing that the starting location of this mission was actually a Catacombs, and with all these coffins, Li Wei began to understand what had happened.
This is the identity imposed on the reincarnators by this mission.
The coffins were gradually opened, and Xue Yan, Nina, Chen Dali, and Luo Cheng woke up one after another, all looking like Undead. However, one coffin remained unopened. Li Wei walked over, puzzled, and found a tall woman curled up inside, sleeping peacefully, with tear stains on her face.
"It's Amakusa."
Li Wei slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about her? As his slave, unless specifically programmed, she would accompany him on missions.
Judging from the woman's appearance, she was clearly crying before entering the mission, but perhaps because she was too tired, she was pulled into the mission world in her sleep.
"Who is she?" Zheng Yutong and the others walked over with helpless expressions. As a beautiful woman, she had become Undead, although it was only a temporary role-playing in the mission. But it still made them feel unhappy.
Luo Cheng and Chen Dali, on the other hand, looked around curiously without any hesitation.
Li Wei briefly explained the situation with Amakusa. Upon hearing that this woman possessed the power to blink, Nina, who had been curiously playing with Amakusa's hair, quickly withdrew.
Perhaps she encountered something in her dream, for Amakusa's brows furrowed and her hands were waving weakly. Seeing this, Li Wei quickly shook her awake.
Upon opening her eyes and seeing Li Wei, Amakusa was stunned for a few seconds before letting out a scream and throwing herself into Li Wei's arms.
"They're dead, sob sob sob, they're all dead! It's my fault for not protecting them! It's all my fault!" Amakusa, who was crying and hugging Li Wei, was clearly no longer caring about anything else, which made Zheng Yutong, Xue Yan and Nina, who were standing nearby, turn green with anger.
"What's so great about Tian Zhanli? How dare he hug Nina in front of us?" Nina whispered angrily.
Seeing that Amakusa was still holding Li Wei, Nina, with her straightforward personality, got annoyed.
She walked over, patted Amakusa on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, even in rankings, you're only fifth. Let me tell you, stop crying here and let go of Brother Li! Hey, did you hear me?"
Fifth brother?
Li Wei looked at Nina with a puzzled expression, wondering what this "Fifth Brother" meant.
Perhaps Nina's shouts had an effect, for Amakusa stood up, wiped his red and swollen eyes, and looked at Li Wei Weidao with a hint of apology. "I'm sorry."
Seemingly sensing the people around him, Amakusa didn't say anything.
She merely observed the changes in her body, then sat there alone, saying nothing more.
It seems she has indeed encountered a major change. Otherwise, given her past behavior, she wouldn't have acted so femininely.
He briefly introduced Amakusa to everyone. Suddenly, Yellow Paper appeared out of nowhere.
"Scene: World of Warcraft (small)" "Quest 1: Spread the Plague, Difficulty: 0. You are extremely weak after becoming a member of Scourge Undead. Your superiors have assigned you a difficult mission: to spread the Plague to a village guarded by human paladins. You need to prove your loyalty to the Lich King through your actions."
"Task Two: The Revenge of the Forsaken, Difficulty Level: It turns out it was all a deception. You killed your own brothers and sisters. The village shrouded in plague was your childhood home. Awakening as Forsaken, you are determined to follow Queen Sylvanas in avenging the Scourge Undead. Do your best to stop the Scourge Undead destroying this area. If you can kill the Duke..." "Dreadlord Rogers, then... isn't this revenge the ultimate goal?" Task Two uses a scoring system; a perfect score will be awarded...
"Rewards and Penalties: (Task 1) Upon completion, the reward is Wangkou Points; failure penalty: Annihilation." (Task 2) Upon completion, the reward is [missing information - likely a reward point] and one Frost Enchanting (weapon). A score below [missing information - likely a reward point]: Annihilation!"
We have a mission!
As the quest began, some noises came from outside the tomb. Soon, a hunched Undead wearing metal armor walked in.
It was barefoot, with sharp nails on its huge feet, and its whole body emanated a green poison. However, Li Wei and the others, who had already become Undead, did not feel any discomfort.
Perhaps this is one of the advantages of being Undead creature.
"Damn corpses, you lot, come with me right now. The commander wants to see you recruits!" the Undead hissed a few times, then turned and walked away.
Li Wei and the others exchanged glances, then remained silent and followed.
They knew that this mission had begun, and failure would mean annihilation, so they had to be extremely vigilant. The mission world was a stepping stone for them to become stronger; only by becoming stronger could they obtain everything they wanted and protect their loved ones. But if they died in the mission world, then everything would be meaningless.
Amakusa had already stopped crying, but she was not in good condition, as if she had lost her pillar of support.
Li Wei didn't know what to say at this moment. Perhaps she had encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but without knowing the situation, it was really not appropriate to say anything. Amakusa herself needed to get out of this slump.
Several people emerged from the tomb and arrived at a woodland. However, the surrounding trees, having grown in an area where sunlight had been blocked by dark clouds for many years, had long since become dead trees. Even the trees that were not dead had mutated under the plague and terrifying magic, their trunks and leaves turning black.
This area didn't just have one tomb. Soon, Li Wei discovered that at least dozens of newly formed Scourge had walked to the small square in front, which was clearly a base for the Scourge.
On the other side of the square stood a tall figure, dressed entirely as a demon. His pale face was like a horse's, and he wore clothes made of silk. His fingernails were long and sharp, and he had a pair of demonic horns on his forehead. Most intimidating of all were the demonic wings on his back. Clearly, this guy was no pushover.
Under Li Wei 'Eye of Perception, the guy's information appeared before his eyes.
"Dreadlord Rogers, a low-ranking commander of the Scourge, combat-level, special abilities: Summon Infernal, Evil Strike. These low-ranking commanders are ubiquitous within the Scourge; they are the Lich King's most loyal servants!"
Following the horde of Undead to the small square, the fearsome Ghost King raised his arm and shouted, "Forever loyal to the Lich King!"
"Eternal Loyalty to the Thousand -Lich Wife!"
The Undead below were screaming at the top of their lungs, while Li Wei and the others gaped open and began their own performances.
"Now, you are part of the legion. Remember your mission, remember the fear you will bring to all living beings."
"Our army is slaughtering across the continent, but the pharmacists in the legion need our cooperation to complete a new type of slender experimental work. I need someone to do this task." Before Yu could finish speaking, Li Wei and the others stepped forward and walked out.
"Long live the Lich King!" After praising him, Li Wei said in a tone unique to the Undead, "We are willing to accept this mission."
"Very good!" The Ghost King Fear nodded in satisfaction.
Li Wei knew he had to accept the mission; otherwise, it would be considered a mission failure.
Failure means annihilation, and no one wants to be annihilated, so we have no choice but to accept the task and do everything we can to complete it.
The instant Li Wei took the sample of the new plague from Dreadlord Rogers, he channeled a stream of true energy into Dreadlord Rogers' body through the point of contact.
Having mastered internal energy cultivation, Li Wei not only possessed an inner elixir, but his ability to release, control, and utilize true energy had also reached its pinnacle.
The burst of true energy was extremely subtle, and it entered the opponent's body without arousing any suspicion. Having achieved his goal, Li Wei grabbed the new, slender medicine bottle and retreated.
An hour later, Li Wei and the others, equipped with the armor and weapons prepared for them by the Dreadlord Rogers, embarked on this "Path of Pollution."
This is still the name Li Wei came up with; spreading the word "Skinny" is nothing short of pollution!
The target village is only about half a day's journey away. It would take about a day to walk there, and they would have to cross a huge lake. Fortunately, the Undead system brings them a lot of convenience at this point.
First, his stamina was much stronger than before. Second, in water, the Undead don't need to breathe, so Li Wei reached the village before dusk.
