Lord of the Undead
Completely abandoning the light and instead using the power of darkness to strike down his opponents, this was the Dark Pdin!
“Why is there a fresh corpse here?”
The ck-armored undead stared at Li Yi’s corpse. Raising his right hand, a purple beam shot out from his hand, pulling Li Yi’s corpse to his side.
This was the Dark Pdin’s signature skill Death’s Grasp.
[Death’s Grasp: Drawing upon the power of darkness, the user forcefully pulls a target to the user’s location. Effective radius 30 yards.]
What happened nextpletely surprised Li Yi. The ck-armored undead carried his body and walked into the pitch-ck cathedral.
[It is the Dwelling of the Undead, filled with countless roaming warriors who had been forgotten by the world, preventing mortals from reaching the Land of Sleep.]
Li Yi suddenly recalled the only hint avable on the official site. It all made sense now.
The monsters around the ck cathedral were obviously too overpowered. If one hundred or even ten thousand yers came here with the intent to clear out all monsters, they would still have to pay a hefty sacrifice, much less one single yer.
As it seems, brute force was not the way to go.
Without any special events urring, monsters would not do anything to the yers’ corpses. However, now it was clear, Li Yi somehow managed to fumble his way into activating this special event.
Charging all the way to the Land of Sleep and dying there, maybe that was the correct strategy to tackle the Dwelling of the Undead?
There were countless caskets ced inside the cathedral. The ck-armored undead carried Li Yi all the way up to one of the caskets and opened it up before tossing him inside...
“Let the power of darkness flow through you, soon, you shall be the Lord of the Undead’s most faithful servant!” The ck-armored undead uttered out loud, before leaving.
Li Yi lied in the casket for more than one whole hour, but... nothing happened.
From the start, when Li Yi heard the ck-armored undead’s words, he thought that just lying here would allow him to change his ss to a Dark Pdin. Now, it would seem that his hypothesis was incorrect.
However, after thinking it through, it was obvious that changing ss to a Dark Pdin would be an extremely difficult task, how could he be able to do it so easily this way?
The ck-armored undead checked on him every half an hour. Other than the ck-armored undead, there was no other undead moving around inside the ck cathedral.
‘Should I revive? Is the game letting me revive right now?’
After observing a little more, Li Yi decided to wait till the next time the ck-armored undead left and would revive himself following that.
Using up hisst Holy Light Protection Scroll, Li Yi rose up from the casket, carefully surveying his surroundings.
Inside this pitch-ck cathedral, the piece that stood out the most was definitely the huge ck casket at the center of the cathedral. Li Yi ran over to the giant casket as fast as possible, bending over to get a closer look at what was inside.
A white-haired human boy was lying silently inside the casket, grasping on a Rune Greatsword. His entire body was enveloped by ck gas, so much so that it continuously leaked out of the casket.
‘So, are you the source of all this ck gas?’
Li Yi sighed as he reached both his hands out and grabbed onto the Rune Greatsword in the boy’s arms. After a few aggressive tugs, it still did not budge the slightest.
“Motherf*cker, why the hell are you holding on to this thing so tightly?”
Li Yi angrily scolded. He wanted to help Jiaojiao change sses into a Dark Pdin, but the Dark Pdin equipment was extremely hard toe by. This was especially true for weapons, Dark Pdins would not be able to use any weapons without Dark Runes. Now that there was one sitting right there in front of his eyes and he had no way of getting it, how could he not be pissed?
As Li Yi’s gaze moved up, he noticed that the boy was wearing a ne gleaming with a ck light. Initially, he had just nned to try his luck, but as soon as he reached for the ne, a system notification popped up with a ding.
[You have obtained an Undead’s Ne of Natural Disaster.]
Before Li Yi could inspect the attributes of the ne, the white-haired boy’s eyes suddenly opened.
“Give it back!”
A pair of big pale-white hands reached for Li Yi. Luckily, Li Yi had great reflexes. He used Fire Impact to intercept the iing hands.
“Bam!”
Li Yi had already made preparations to escape, but he did not expect the white-haired boy to remain motionless after he moved his hands.
System Notification: [You have left the battle...]
As Li Yi received the system notification, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Once again walking back up to the giant casket, Li Yi was pleasantly surprised that the Rune Greatsword the boy was tightly gripping onto was now free from the boy’s grasps.
Walking up and picking it up, the system notification sound rang once more.
[You obtained ????]
“?”
The Rune Greatsword was disyed as a line of question marks, causing Li Yi to be extremely confused. However, this was not the time for him to ponder about the question marks. He threw the greatsword into his inventory with the intent of researching furtherter.
These two items were the only things he could salvage from the white-haired boy. Li Yi continued to check around for a bit more, but he found nothing else.
Taking note of the time, Li Yi realized that the ck-armored undead was about to return. He quickly left behind the giant casket and hid in one of the empty caskets nearby.
“My master, who sphemed against thee? My master, it is the fault of this servant!” When the ck-armored undead noticed that the items on the white-haired boy’s body were missing, he instantly dropped down to his knees.
“Who was it? Who sphemed against the Lord of the Undead?” The ck gas enveloping the ck-armored undead started raging, instantly spreading throughout the entire cathedral.
At this moment, Li Yi was still hiding in the casket. He had already used Camouge and drank an Invisibility Potion, hoping he would not be found by the ck-armored undead.
If he already had trouble with the small monsters outside, how would he even hold a candle to this badass? Based on Li Yi’s experienced judgment, this badass was at least Level 100. If they were to sh, he would not even be able to withstand a single hit.
“Not here.” The ck-armored undead retracted his ck gas. After thinking momentarily, he turned back around.
“Loyal minions of the Lord of the Undead, I order all of you to search for the bastard sphemer who vited our master, and retrieve the two dark legendary equipment!”
“Hissss—— Hissss——”
All the creatures in the entire Dwelling of the Undead went into a frenzy. They were no longer moving around aimlessly. Their speed increased, and their movements showed that they were searching for something.
The Dwelling of the Undead was in chaos.
“Please, master, I beg for thine forgiveness for my sins.” The ck-armored undead was still kneeling with one knee on the ground, desperately praying in the pitch-ck cathedral.
Li Yi did not know that he had caused such a huge event. Every single creature in the Dwelling of the Undead was running around, seemingly having lost their sanity. They were all angrily searching for the sinner who had sphemed against the Lord of the Undead.
Plink nk!
“Hissss——”
The white demaster Skeletons were the first to drop to the ground. The spirits flying about in the air also dissipated with the wind soon after. Lastly, the God-Chastised Pdins also hit the ground.
After thirty minutes, out of the entirety of the Dwelling of the Undead, only the ck-armored undead could still move, the rest had all died!
However, even the ck-armored undead was affected. His body had shrunk to the size of an average human.
[Warning! The Heart of Darkness buff by the Lord of the Undead in the Dwelling of the Undead has temporarily disappeared. Thus, all undead have perished, leaving behind only Great Lord Moigne. You have 2 hours to kill him. After 2 hours, no matter the oue, the Lord of the Undead’s darkness shall envelop this ce once more.]
Li Yi who was still hiding in the casket suddenly received a system notification, causing him to be stunned. He immediately jumped out of the casket and rode his Crimson Tiger King out of the cathedral.
‘Who cares about fighting that ck-armored undead? Now that the entire Dwelling of the Undead was empty for the next two hours, I should savor this opportunity and go get all the treasure chests.”
There were at least several hundreds of treasure chests in the Dwelling of the Undead. None of them were locked so it was up for grabs to all yers.
Without any monsters stopping him, Li Yi started his easy looting spree. The Dwelling of the Undead was one of the Seven Secret ces, naturally, the quality of the treasure here was far superior to the ones in the normal map.
The worst loot he got was a set of green equipment. With his notifications dinging like crazy, Li Yi looted on with a smug grin on his face.
Spending one entire hour, hepletely swept the entire Dwelling of the Undead clean. Even his Space Pearl had beenpletely filled. Even the total amount of loot he had collected in both his past life and present life could notpare to the amount he had gained after this session.
As one of the Seven Secret ces, this ce certainly lived up to its name!
Looking at the time, he still had about 1 more hour till the Lord of the Undead’s buff returns. After conscious deliberation, Li Yi decided to go look for the Great Lord Moigne.
“Was it you who sphemed against the Lord of the Undead?” Moigne drew his Rune Greatsword and pointed it at Li Yi as he yelled.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Li Yi gave his reply in the form of arrows.
[-1235]
[-1786]
With the two arrowsnding, Moigne’s HP bar was finally revealed.
[1000000/90000000]
Even the already weakened Great Lord Moigne had 1,000,000 HP!
Moigne reached out his arm towards Li Yi and clenched his fist, intending to use Death’s Grasp to pull Li Yi over. Li Yi had already anticipated this, so he had prepared himself. Turning back and using Fire Impact, he escaped Death’s Grasp’s range of effectiveness before the purple beam reached him, sessfully evading it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
So what if this was Great Lord Moigne? Li Yi would still just kite him as usual.
Heart of the Archer increased his range by 5 yards. Combining that with the Frost Longbow and ck Feathered Arrows, none of Moigne’s attacks could even reach Li Yi.
Dark Pdins could not use movement skills like Charge, the only long-range skills they had were Death’s Grasp which pulled a target and Chains of Ice which would freeze a target. As long as yers remained outside their attacking range, they would bepletely safe from any danger.
“You shall suffer punishment for defiling the Lord!”
Naturally, Great Lord Moigne would not be toyed with so easily by Li Yi. He summoned a Skeleton Warhorse and sped towards Li Yi.
His speed on the horse was much higher than his speed on foot, Li Yi’s kiting tactics suddenly became less effective. However, he still had the Violent Bear King blocking in front of him, it would not be an easy task for Moigne to reach him.
If Li Yi was still ying Thief like he was in the past, this battle would have been lost since the very beginning. This did not mean that Thieves were not strong, but it was mainly due to the fact that they could only do closebat. Once a Thief gets hit by Death’s Grasp or Chains of Ice, how many hits could they even take in their flimsy leather armor?
Due to their long-range capabilities and their pet support, Archers’ solo-ing capabilities were always top notch.
“Eliminate!”
A light blue arrow zipped towards Moigne,nding a critical hit dealing 8,432 HP of damage.
Eliminate would deal double damage to any target with less than 50% of HP left. The most overpowered part of this was that it had the same effect on bosses.
“How dare you stop Moigne, you shall pay the price with blood!”
Moigne was waving around his Rune Greatsword, violently shing at Violent Bear King. With each strike, he dealt more than 1000 points of damage to Violent Bear King’s HP. If Li Yi was not constantly healing the Violent Bear King, it have dropped dead a long time ago.
Even if the Great Lord Moigne was weakened, his power was still extremely terrifying.
Li Yi continued to heal the Violent Bear King as he attacked with his bow, causing Moigne’s HP to drop rapidly. When his HP dropped to around 300,000, he raised the Rune Greatsword up high in his hands, chanting a dark curse.
“Fallen undead, heed this Moigne’s orders, stand again once more and lend me your strength!”
Hundreds of purple light rays shot out from the tip of the Rune Greatsword. Instantly, countless undead started emerging from the ground. There were at least a hundred of them.
“Undead Horde!”
With Moigne’s loud roar, he pointed the Rune Greatsword at Li Yi as hundreds of undead swarmed towards Li Yi.
