Chapter 176 - 171: Ritual! (1/2)
Ten minutes later.
Sixty thousand corpses! All were piled to form multiple peaks over the fortress.
Wendy had prepared herself to her peak condition, to absorb the fleshly energies of these group to increase her undead army powers
At the same time her absorbing these corpses would increase the chances of forming her undead knights up by a degree, which in fact was the main reason behind this piling up.
Corpses of half step aura emperor class cultivator were turned into half step emperor undead, who inturn would become the seeds for her Knight candidates.
More than thousands five hundred half step emperor undead were seated all around her, in a specific pattern of tongs to start the ritual.
By now, wendy had collected enough fleshly energies for the ritual to produce 30 knights out of hundred!
After absorbing the sixty thousand corpses, she was sure to increase this number to 50 or even higher!
So wanted to be in her peak condition to increase this number further was self explainable
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eight meter balls of grey flames were launched to different direction, which upon contacting the corpses had inturn spread far, turning more violent with passing seconds.
As if the fire was fuelled with kerosene, the grey flames spread far and covered the entirety of fortress in matter of seconds.
Huge grounds of fortress, enough to host hundreds of thousands of soldiers was lit on fire, with corpses present all over that quickly dissolved like candles into it.
Few minutes later.
Boom!
The wave of heat were intense, reaching far up-to western warlords palace, where the outer walls were slightly scorched under its influence.
If not for her steady control over the flames of grey, it could had passed by the outer walls even reaching up-to the inner walls of western warlords palace to damage the people within.
Mark as usual was patrolling around, flying over the forest to prevent an unknown party from entering the scene or cause trouble for Wendy, when she's performing the ritual.
The people in the western warlords palace had long since entered into the inner walls, shortly after which Mark had activated the formation over walls to protect them.
The formation was activated not just to protect them but also to confine the people within.
Without any third party involvement, the where about of princess, the matter of undead and Mark's involvement wouldn't be divulged.
The beast men in orange rank bases wouldn't be risking this far to capture her for fun right?
Since the case involving the abduction of princess was a huge matter, that third party would for sure host spies within the blood wigg army or their supporting staff.
So Mark wants to isolate them for some time and prevent any third party involvement when the most important part of Wendy's upgrade was about to happen.
Once wendy is finished with her ritual, hundreds of undead knights at aura emperor cultivation would be there to listen to her command.
As such, no matter whether they are traitorous human forces or beastmen bases, when clashed with wendy they'll face sure death!
Whoosh!
At the same time Mark entered the mysterious space inside the orange crystal and discovered tons of blinking dots of which some were approaching their location
Twenty four yellow rank and five orange rank bases!
He didn't really cared about the green dots which were aggregated in thousand, cause they wouldn't really pose much trouble to him and all he needs was to flick his hand and the base would be destroyed for real under his might.
Though they were a seven days apart from their location, Mark could still use teleportation runes and intercept them to slower their advance.
Whoosh!
After Wendy's ritual, if it was a success, her powers were prone to be advanced.
And Mark reaching seventh step in refinement wouldn't want to be left behind, so he teleported randomly to a yellow base and start wreaking it without leaving behind any survivors to tell his tale.
One day later.
” Three bases! ”
