Chapter 271
C271 – Necromancer
“Palace Lord Loong, she’s a Necromancer, possessing the power to manipulate corpses and puppets. The Dark Parliament controls zombies through her.”
The newly appointed Commander of the Star Glory Army materialized next to Loong Chen, speaking in hushed tones.
Necromancers, an ancient civilization from millennia past, earned enmity for their penchant for corpse manipulation.
Ultimately, their kind faced annihilation, leaving only a scant few survivors, likely with the Necromancer before them being the most formidable.
“Human, our Dark Parliament struck a pact with your revered expert, the Invincible Dragon God. We’ve agreed to keep warriors above Emperor Level out of the conflict. Why defy this pact?”
The Necromancer’s voice resonated ethereally, as if her soul were speaking.
“The agreement was with the Invincible Dragon God, not me. Furthermore, it seems your Dark Parliament was the first to breach it.”
“Your Dark Parliament dispatched a Blood Emperor to assassinate me. Care to explain?”
Loong Chen’s voice dripped with frost. The Necromancer’s brow furrowed.
“The Blood Race met its end not long ago, rendering your claims unverifiable.”
“I personally exterminated the Blood Race. I don’t require proof. Your era is over. This world now belongs to humanity. Retreat, and perhaps you’ll survive!”
Loong Chen’s words resonated with dominance, a de facto declaration of war.
He cared not for pretext; his will alone justified conflict.
“Human, do you comprehend the toll of war? Can your kind bear its weight?”
Despite the Necromancer’s threats, Loong Chen had no interest in prolonging the exchange.
“So noisy.”
Following his declaration, Loong Chen charged towards the Necromancer.
Preferring to combat Emperor Level warriors over low-level zombies, as the rewards in attributes and experience far exceeded those of lesser foes.
“Perish!”
A trident materialized in Loong Chen’s grasp as he swiftly maneuvered behind the Necromancer, thrusting towards her back.
“Protect me!”
The Necromancer’s cry echoed, summoning two assailants to engage Loong Chen from either side.
“Two Emperor Level Late Period zombies?”
Loong Chen utilized divine psychokinesis to assess their strength, taken aback by their level.
Anticipating the Corpse King as the pinnacle, Loong Chen was surprised by the presence of a Corpse Emperor.
Nonetheless, Emperor Level opponents posed no challenge; even Peak of Emperor Level adversaries fell easily before him, let alone two Late Period Emperor Level zombies.
“Perish!”
Loong Chen roared, cleaving the left Corpse Emperor in half with his trident.
With a forceful punch, he obliterated the head of the right Corpse Emperor. His movements flowed effortlessly, dispatching the Advanced Grade Corpse Emperors in moments.
“Strength attribute increased by * 40000.”
“Speed attribute increased by * 36000.”
“Defense boosted by + 42W.”
“Agility enhanced by + 30W.”
“Empirical value augmented by x8000W.”
“Emperor Level Advanced Grade energy essence acquired: * 2.”
