Chapter 141 – Kingdom of Darkness (2/2)

Lei Ting was considered quite built compared to normal people. But, before the the three massive Yao creatures, he looked as tiny as an ant even upon the back of his Hellfire Stallion. The earth rumbled as the giant beasts stampeded toward Lei Ting. However, he did not budge.

“Attack!” ordered Libya, and he took the lead.

Fwoosh! All kinds of skills were cast. Just as they landed on Lei Ting…

“Kingdom of Darkness,” the Undead Marshal coldly proclaimed, his expression still impassive.

The sky abruptly darkened. With Lei Ting at the epicenter, a pitch black, gloomy dimension filled with countless balls of lightning rippled into being. The anomaly radiated waves of ghastly mist and enshrouded Lei Ting. The dimension wasn’t large with a diameter of only 20 or so meters. However, the NPC generals’ faces immediately changed the moment it appeared.

“Kingdom of Darkness? You’ve transcended boundaries and reached the realm of God?! How could this be?” Libya screamed and frantically retreated. The other three following him hastily withdrew as well. Only the giant turtle was slightly slower, which was enough for the Kingdom of Darkness to engulf one of its legs.

“Aawooo!” wailed the giant turtle tragically. The captured leg quickly withered and rotted away until it was just ash floating on the wind.

Libya growled, “Damn it! He’s already been dead for this long! Why is his strength still growing?”

“From the looks of it, the Phantasm Ghost King not only tainted his soul, but also reformed his body with the power of Darkness as well,” Drucker muttered. Then, his expression abruptly changed. “If even Lei Ting can attain the power of God after such reform, just how powerful is the Phantasm Ghost King? How strong were Lin Yu and Aura who sealed the Phantasm Ghost King away?”

“Now’s not the time to worry about that. The problem is what do we do?”

“Don’t worry.” As the trusted general of City Lord Lin Xi, Drucker was a lot more knowledgeable than the average NPC. “The City Lord possesses superb strategy and incredible foresight. He exploited the Guild Construction Token to shorten Lei Ting’s slumber, so he is far weaker than if he’d been allowed to mature. Kingdom of Darkness can only protect him; so, let’s kill the lightning dragon first, then take care of him later.”

“It’s fortunate that he isn’t fully revived. Otherwise, Thunder of the Ninth Heaven could have summoned nine lightning dragons.” Jijilu swept a glance at the creature rolling overhead. After barely managing to cast Land of Exile, the mage’s face was pale.

“Corps Captain Lei Ting was originally an expert of both magic and martial arts. One strike of his Ninth Heaven could slay countless high-ranked demons. I’d never thought there’d be a day it was used on us,” Libya sighed.

Krk krk!

All of a sudden, a soft crackling penetrated the air. The sound grew and echoed until numerous cracks appeared across the Land of Exile’s surface. The seal around the lightning dragon seemed ready to crumble at any moment.

“The lightning dragon—that’s not right! This isn’t a lightning dragon; it’s a fusion of darkness and lightning! Hurry and attack! Or else none of us will be able to subdue it!” Libya commanded. “You three, help Master Jijilu hold down the dragon! I’ll go kill Lei Ting.”

Hefting his dragon spear, Libya rushed toward Lei Ting yet again. However, Libya was unable to approach the Undead Marshal due to Kingdom of Darkness, a swirling cauldron of corrosion, gloom, and depravity. Anyone who attempted to breach the mire would be turned to ashes instantly, like the giant turtle’s leg.

“Space mage! Is there a space mage among you lot?” Drucker called out to the players. The crowd shook their heads. Space Mage was a hidden class that was especially hard to get even among the hidden classes, so it was normal that there weren’t any here.

Boom!

Above the battlefield, the lightning dragon still struggled with all its might. The Land of Exile spell was crazed with cracks and on the verge of collapse.

“General, I’m a Yin Yang Inquisitor. I can teleport a short distance and kill Lei Ting.” A player suddenly appeared next to Libya. The title Yin Yang Inquisitor hovered above his head. Indeed, it was TenStepOneKill.

“Very good!” Libya exclaimed, overjoyed. TenStepOneKill shot a cold smile at Purple Bell in the distance. When he stretched out his hand, a white light flew from the floating Yin Yang Manual before his chest and formed a pure white portal. TenStepOneKill immediately stepped in.

“Bro, I’m going as well,” Purple Bell expressionlessly informed Wind God’s World. She then pointed at her Yin Yang Manual as well and strode into the black portal that emerged before her.

Fwish! Both of them appeared next to Lei Ting at the same time.

“How’d they do that?! Oh, right! Yin Yang Inquisitors have teleportation!” exclaimed the players.

No one had any idea that, in a private space right next to Lei Ting, a sleazy Fatty lazed about and waited for a chance to make his move.
