Chapter 70.2 - Reader: People who do not court disaster will not die (2/2)
Seeing that the guards could not stop the black dragon, the enemy sent a magician to the battle . A fireball hit Muir but did no damage. The black dragon extended his neck and bit the magician, killing him. Muir spit out the mage’s corpse which was quickly transformed into one of the undead. The new skeleton mage was dazed for a moment then began to recite undead spells along with the old skeleton mage.
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu once wrote that the demons are the strongest individually, the undead has the strongest army, while the dragons are the strongest at besieging a city.
No one could stop Muir from destroying the walls. The people’s eyes were despairing as they saw the walls come tumbling down. Glory City was now open and undefended in front of Xiu. The result is obvious: without its army and the forces from the Temple of Light, the city was like a fruit whose skin has been peeled off, waiting for Xiu to devour it.
When Glory City’s army came back after they defeated all 4,000 of the undead army, they found a whole city of the undead waiting for them. Soldiers stared at their destroyed homes. When the undead came at them the soldiers were prepared to fight back, but when they saw the undead’s familiar clothes and ornaments, many collapsed.
Those are their elders, lovers, and children; how can they kill them again, even if they have become undead?
Compared to the soldiers’ hesitation, the undead did not waver and immediately attacked. With their instinctive desire to create more undead, they nibbled at the army little by little. A skeleton held its former lover and when the lover burst into tears, the skeleton broke his neck.
Du Ze could not bear to look at them and shifted his line of sight to look at Xiu. The demon was gazing silently at all of this and, noticing Du Ze’s gaze, tilted his head to look up at the sky. The sun shone down and Xiu’s silhouette was half in the light, half in darkness
“The more I do now, the more I understand their fear and hatred of the undead. Isn’t it ironic?”
Because of his relationship to Louis, Xiu was hunted by humans all over the Chaos Continent. And now the Tower of God created a simulation of Louis’ Undead Scourge and made him witness all of this. It’s ironic but Du Ze didn’t know its purpose, he only felt “the rules’” cruelty.
As the two stood there silently, the undead had almost finished eating up the army. Except for the people from the Temple of Light, the soldiers of the army became undead. Many of them were death knights and a few were black knights, a very high level type of undead. All of the undead gathered under the destroyed walls of the city. The skeleton mage stood in front of them. Looking up at Xiu, it said:
[Lord Colonel, please lead us to the Chaos Continent.]
If they want to go up in rank they must destroy more cities and create more undead.
Du Ze looked down at the sea of the undead under the wall.
This is a copy of the Undead Scourge. According to Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, Liches received deathlessness, gave away their kindness.
