Chapter 2414 Agreed, Absolutely
They knew that the energy leaking from the seal was incredibly pure—just one breath was worth several days of hard training outside.
Leveling up in necromancy was already difficult, and now they had stumbled upon such an opportunity...
And they were supposed to just leave?
With such a tempting chance in front of them, everyone felt a twinge of reluctance in their hearts.
"Ahem..." An older yer cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Right now, the undead instructors outside can still hold off the Holy Court for a while. It seems a bit premature to go out now; perhaps we should wait a little longer..."
Another yer quickly chimed in, "Exactly. The situation hasn''t reached an irretrievable point. If we rashly release the death knight, it could lead to problems."
Norbert understood the yers'' thoughts and shot a nce at Fang Heng out of the corner of his eye, feigning a question. "What do you think, sir?"
"I think there''s no rush. We should wait a little longer. Once the Holy Court truly breaks through..."
"Absolutely, I agree. Let''s wait until the Holy Court actually breaches the main city, Catantul, before releasing the death knight. By then, even if the undead faction questions our intrusion, we''ll have a justification."
"Right, that''s a good suggestion."
"Of course, we can''t just leave the seal here unchecked. We should continue to observe and guard this ce."
"Indeed, how about we all stay here for now and absorb some of the external energy leaking from the sealing stone? This way, we can prevent the holy seal from being affected."
"Agreed, absolutely."
In just a few words, the undead faction yers reached a consensus: they wouldn''t rush to leave and would instead stay temporarily to absorb the energy leaking from the sealing stone pir.
They figured that there was still some time before the Holy Court breached the undead faction''s defenses. If the situation became critical, they could always follow Norbert''s n—setting timed explosives to destroy the sealing stone.
After all, whether they could release the death knight was still uncertain, but the undead aura they could absorb here was guaranteed.
Even if yers died and respawned, they would still gain experience points in necromancy skills. They wouldn''t be losing anything in the process.
The proposal was quickly epted by the group.
Once they reached an agreement, everyone gathered around the sealing stone, condensing and starting to absorb the undead aura energy in front of them.
"Sigh..."
Norbert let out a quiet sigh, pretending to be helpless, but inside, he was extremely tense, his gaze continually darting toward Fang Heng.
The Holy Court had set a trap targeting the greed of those with demonic seeds!
If even these ordinary yers couldn''t resist the temptation of absorbing the undead aura, what about Fang Heng?
Suddenly, Norbert felt a chill run down his spine when he noticed that Fang Heng was staring directly at him!
His heart raced, and he quickly averted his gaze.
Fang Heng didn''t say anything, but after a moment of thought, he quickly made his intentions clear through his actions.
What was there to think about?
Of course, he would stay to absorb the experience!
Fang Heng simply believed that the strength of the sealing stone was far from being destroyed.
Norbert was being overly cautious.
That was fine; he would first extract a wave of energy aura and secure it.
Fang Heng quickly brought his hands together in front of him. N?v(el)B\\jnn
Whoosh!!
As his mental strength activated, the dense undead aura around Fang Heng immediately found an outlet and surged toward him!
Beside him, Norbert watched as Fang Heng finally decided to stay and absorb the energy, and he felt a wave of relief wash over him.
It worked!
With this, the Holy Court''s n to trap Fang Heng wasing to fruition!
All they needed to do was maintain the current pace, keeping Fang Heng here to absorb energy, while the Purifiers from the Holy Realm wouldpletely seal off the entire area surrounding the Tower of Bones!
This would cut off all of Fang Heng''s escape routes!
At that point, he would be like a turtle in a jar!
However, in the next moment, Norbert''s brows furrowed again, and his heart jumped into his throat.
No way!
As Fang Heng unleashed his mental strength to absorb the undead aura, a massive wave of it rushed swiftly toward him from all directions within the underground Great Hall.
In just a few seconds, a giant vortex of undead aura appeared above Fang Heng''s head!
Within a mere two minutes, the ck fog that filled the entire Great Hall waspletely siphoned away by Fang Heng!
The aura leaking from the cracks in the sealing stone was immediately drawn toward him.
For a moment, the other yers in the hall opened their eyes, ncing at one another before finally focusing on Fang Heng.
This guy was being a bit too inconsiderate, wasn''t he?
He had already consumed all the meat, and now he wouldn''t even let them have a sip of the soup?
Were they really just going to watch him rake in all the experience points?
[Hint: The yer absorbs undead aura, and the yer''s grandmaster-level necromancy experience points +121,000.]
Fang Heng opened his eyes, feeling a bit displeased.
He hadn''t even started properly absorbing the energy yet, and it was already being drained dry?
This wouldn''t do!
Noticing the looks everyone was giving him, Fang Heng quickly understood their thoughts. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Everyone, I believe the current seal is still quite intact, and the aura leaking out is a bit too weak. Why don''t we break open some more seals? That way, when we do eventually blow the seals, it will be much safer for everyone. What do you think?"
The group was momentarily taken aback but quickly began to nod in agreement.
"Absolutely, that makes sense."
The other yers quickly grasped the situation; since Fang Heng was the one reaping the benefits from the undead aura, they might as well join forces to maximize the gains for everyone!
This time, no one bothered to consult Norbert. They all rallied together and once again began to channel their undead strength to wear down the power of the holy sealing stone pir.
After all, it was no joke that most of the energy seeping from the magic array had already been absorbed by Fang Heng!
They hade here, risking everything, and yet they couldn''t even catch a glimpse of the death knight?
Not to mention, they hadn''t gained even a fraction of the benefits?
This simply wouldn''t do!
Norbert, on the sidelines, felt increasingly speechless.
The situation was spiraling out of control.
The Holy Realm''s n had anticipated greed, but it hadn''t ounted for the extent of that greed.
If things continued like this...
If the sealing stone pir really did explode...
Cold sweat trickled down Norbert''s forehead.
Under Fang Heng''s deliberate guidance, the central sealing pir''s condition worsened with each passing moment as everyone grew bolder.
"Puff!"
A chunk of shrapnel exploded from the sealing stone pir!
Fang Heng''s pupils narrowed in surprise.
Actual cracks were appearing on the sealing pir!
"Stop!"
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Heng had subtly taken on the role of the leader among the yers.
As soon as he shouted, everyone immediately halted, backing away a few steps while focusing their attention on the central stone pir.
A wave of extremely pure undead aura, several hundred times stronger than before, began to pour out from within the sealing pir!
"We''ve reached the limit! If we continue, the risk of an explosion is too high!"
