Necromancy

(Holy crap, what's going on?)

Xiao Yu stared at the regional announcement flashing before his eyes, speechless. They've already run away? I haven't even made a move, how the hell are you running off like that? I was hoping to use my Annihilation state to kill a few bosses and earn some reputation, but it seems that's all for naught now. Oh well, it's good they ran away; at least it saves me some trouble. Otherwise, fighting my way through would have been a real hassle. Anyway, I'm not short of a few hundred reputation points. My immediate priority is still advancing to Chaos Elemental.

Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Big Water Cunt, you lead the Elemental Legion to stay here and defend. Any adventurers who dare to approach and show hostility, the Scarlet Crusade, all enemies, will be killed without mercy. Agnes, take some men and come in with me."

Big Water Cunt (the corrupted Water Elemental elder): "Don't worry, boss, with me here, I guarantee not even a single common one can fly in."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Then, let's go in." He said to the Lich beside him.

Estero (Lich): "Wait a moment, I need to make some arrangements." He turned around, and a Death Knight rushed out from the Undead army. Estero gave the Death Knight a few instructions, then nodded. "Alright, let's go in."

As the Water Elemental Lord and the Lich entered the Tower of Amalarui, a system notification sounded in their ears.

System notification: A story event has been triggered: The Battle for Tower of Alamarui. You have invaded the territory belonging to the Scarlet Crusade. To defend their territory, the Warrior of the Scarlet Crusade will fight you. The victor will become the master of Tower of Amalarui.

Despite defeating two bosses, some enemies remained in the tower. As they climbed the winding stairs, they encountered all sorts of monsters, elite monsters, Scarlet Warrior, Scarlet Guardians, and Scarlet Guardian. Various enemies surged towards them, but in the face of Azathoth's immense power, all of them were easily defeated.

Estero followed behind, resurrecting the slain Crimson Soldiers as he went, busy as a bee. In no time, he had captured over a hundred Undead soldiers. That's the good thing about Lich; they can easily expand their forces. Although the resurrected units are often weaker than before, there are many elite monsters in the dungeon. After being resurrected, they are at least rare elites, which is a small way to replenish the Undead army's losses during this period.

Soon the group arrived at the top floor of the Tower of Alamarui, in the Alchemy Hall, where there was still one BOSS left.

Atak (Crimson Warrior), a high-level BOSS template, level 49, with 780,000 HP.

This BOSS is clearly an NPC, otherwise he wouldn't have been left to take the fall. As soon as he saw the Water Elemental Lord and the Lich walk in, Atak immediately rushed forward.

Atak (Scarlet Warrior): "Evil Undead, today is your death day! Attack, warriors of the Scarlet Crusade! The Invincible Hero!"

He roared as he led a group of blood-red Warrior forward.

Xiao Yu didn't hold back, firing several Frostfire Bolt and taking down Atak in one go. Most of the equipment that dropped was only of excellent quality, with only one axe being somewhat decent.

[Name: Scarlet Champion's Battle Axe]

[Category: Weapons - Two-handed Weapons]

[Quality: Epic (Story Item)]

[Function: Attack power 32-55, Strength +10]

[Equipment Requirement: Level 45]

[Item Effect (Active): Invincible Champion. Unleash a roar that grants all friendly units within 30 yards a 10% Strength bonus for 30 seconds.]

[Note: The handle of this two-handed battle axe is engraved with the words "Invincible Hero," but please note that equipping this axe does not mean you are truly Invincible.]

It was just an epic weapon, nothing special to Xiao Yu who had seen many legendary items. After putting the axe into his spatial inventory, Xiao Yu looked at Estero.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Alright, now let's summon Amalarui. Hopefully, his spirit is still nearby."

Estero (Lich): "Of course, I'll summon his soul right now." Estero's tone towards Azathoth became increasingly respectful. The previous encounter at the dungeon entrance, where he single-handedly defeated 300 adventurers and wiped out hundreds in one go, had left a deep impression on him. At least if it were him, a one-on-one fight would likely be certain death. Although he could win with his Undead army, his own forces would probably suffer heavy casualties. And if the adventurers were to resurrect and push through several waves, he might be wiped out.

Xiao Yu wiped out hundreds of adventurers without batting an eye, and probably few adventurers would dare to come back to their deaths. That's the difference. So his attitude towards Xiao Yu was already somewhat like that of a subordinate. When Doctor Xiao Yu gave the order, he immediately took action.

With his hands raised high, he made a strange gesture as if performing a shamanic ritual, and then the Lich began to cast Necromancy.

Estero (Lich): "Departed souls, undying wills, lost spirits, in my name Estero I summon you, Amalarui, I call your name! If you hear my voice, come to me and reveal your form!" Soul Summoning!

A gust of cold wind suddenly rose from nowhere, blowing through the dilapidated alchemy hall. The chandeliers overhead rattled loudly, and dust swirled in the air. A pale green mist filled the air, making the atmosphere even more eerie. A faint sound rang in the air, like someone whispering or weeping softly.

Leah Bloodmoon looked around nervously. Strictly speaking, she was the only 'living person' here. She was quite affected by the eerie atmosphere. Even though she knew it was just a game, just like feeling scared while playing a horror game, Leah Bloodmoon was also a little scared. Xiao Yu was also startled at first. He didn't expect this Necromancy to be so creepy. People who play Undead characters really have some heavy tastes. However, when he thought about how he was a Water Elemental Lord, he was no longer afraid. How could a dignified Water Elemental Lord be afraid of ghosts?

Soon, a semi-transparent figure slowly emerged in front of everyone.

Soul of Amalarui (Lost Soul): "Who is calling my name? Who is summoning my soul!" The ghost let out a mournful cry and gradually revealed its true form—who else could it be but Amalarui?
