Chapter 742 (2/2)
Behind him, the Bloody Queen was still only wearing the most basic T-shirt and short skirt, so she was shivering non-stop. Upon hearing what the Dark Knight said, she could not help but curse, “B*stard, why did we have to get off the plane and walk over? Even my blood vessels are going to be frozen.”
Cyrus continued to hug the Bloody Queen’s leg, smiling as he put his face against Elizabeth’s thigh with a satisfied expression.
The Dark Knight’s voice remained extremely cold, “The defense in front is too high, and if we were to fly the fighter aircraft over, we would be shot down.”
Just as the two of them were talking, many red light spots lit up. Elizabeth was about to make a move when she was stopped by the Dark Knight.
“We’re here. Don’t do anything.”
At the next moment, densely packed red dots neared. They were clearly the eyes of many skeletons. Amidst kacha kacha sounds of bones clashing together, the skeletons surrounded the three people. The skeletons’ empty eye sockets emitted an eerie red light, giving off an ominous feeling.
Even Elizabeth was creeped out to be surrounded by a myriad of skeletons.
The Dark Knight’s voice rang out in her mind once again, “Don’t do anything. Just wait here.”
Half an hour passed by, and just as Elizabeth felt that she was going to be frozen into ice, the skeletons opened up a path.
A man, who was so thin that he was just skin and bones, emitted streams of blue light from all over his body. He was floating three inches off the ground as he headed over. The man wore a black robe, and blue flames shone in his eyes. When he saw the three people, the flames in his eyes seemed to flicker a little, and a cold voice rang out in their minds through mental forces.
“Dark Knight, long time no see. Speak of your reason for coming.”
The Dark Knight said calmly, “I want to meet Suleiman.”
A creepy laughter rang out from the man’s mouth. “Only the dead can meet the King of Death.”
The skeletons in the surroundings trembled as they whipped out cold weapons including sabers, spears, staffs, and clubs. It was as if they would attack at any moment.
However, at the next moment, a voice rang out from void space, “Let them in.” All the skeletons immediately backed off like vassals who had received a command from the Emperor.
The man took a long look at the Dark Knight and said, “Come with me.”
Elizabeth followed behind the Dark Knight. She gulped and complained in her mind, “Who on earth are you here to meet? Who the hell is this man of skin and bones?”
The Dark Knight replied calmly, “He’s a lich. 14 years ago, he gained the lich system and turned himself completely into a lich. Thereafter, the Scourge 1 he commands almost engulfed half of Africa.”
“14 years ago… You’re saying…”
“That’s right. The war between the two areas in Africa was because of him. In a mere two months, over one million people died. There were countless skeletons, zombies, and dark creatures. We paid a huge price before we managed to wipe them all out, and it took us two years to deal with the aftermath.”
“Then why isn’t he locked up?”
The Dark Knight explained, “I’m not an expert in dealing with magic-related existences. That’s why I sent him here and handed him over to someone who excels in magic.”
Elizabeth asked curiously, “Who?”
“One of the greatest extraordinary humans in the world, the possessor of the netherworld system. He is also the greatest sorcerer in history— Abyss Lord 2 Suleiman.”
