"If a Death God is unable to fulfill their duties, their strength will decline very rapidly. The more they fail to complete their missions, the weaker they beco; and the weaker they are, the less likely they are to complete their tasks, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually, if they reach a critical point, the Death God may perish due to their inability to fulfill their responsibilities."
Ji Xiaobo listened intently, his expression serious as he nodded slowly.
How to put it...
Hearing this, he felt a bit relieved.
Given Brother Fang's abilities... completing his KPIs shouldn't be a problem, right?
He could probably find so soft targets for soul revival, and survival would be no issue.
He might even exceed his KPIs.
"The second crucial point is that after absorbing Empress Persephone's power, a frost imprint is left in the sea of consciousness. This imprint enhances most necromantic skills significantly, making the power boost very apparent for necromancers. However, it also brings substantial negative effects."
Seeing Elder Tir's expression suddenly beco extrely grave, Ji Xiaobo's heart, which had just settled, tensed up again. He anxiously asked, "What does the negative effect refer to?"
"Possession of the will."
The central elder continued, looking towards one of the exits of the stone chamber.
Mausoleum guards and priests were still stumbling through the passageways.
"The death realm is an extrely orderly race, where superiors have absolute control over subordinates. Through the power of the imprint, superiors can manipulate subordinates via the possession of the will ritual. Moreover, if one's own will is not strong enough and is eradicated..." The central elder paused, "Then, like those puppets, one becos a complete puppet of the superior."
Puppets?!
Ji Xiaobo's face turned pale at the thought.
This was terrible!
It ant that if the death knight wished, they could replace Fang Heng's will and control his power at any ti?
...
Death knight space.
Fang Heng and his two companions returned to the space once more.
The death knight sat high upon a throne.
At this mont, the dark space was filled with dark golden cracks, which made Li Shaoqiang's heart pound with fear, feeling as though it might collapse at any mont.
The death knight's gaze was fixed on Fang Heng as he slowly spoke, "Fang Heng, the Shrine of Bones?"
Fang Heng nodded and ford an imprint with his hands in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
The Shrine of Bones appeared before him.
The seal was lifted.
The Frostbone Dragon's soul spilled out from the Shrine of Bones, rapidly condensing into a physical form in mid-air.
"Karian, you've been asleep for a long ti. The Empress needs us to fight again. This ti, it's against the Holy Realm..."
The death knight observed the rapidly recovering Frostbone Dragon and nodded slightly, muttering to himself. He then raised his hand and waved it forward.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Several stone doors materialized in front of them.
In the next mont, a massive amount of undead aura energy burst forth from the stone doors!
The dense black aura spread out in an instant, partially obscuring their vision.
Fang Heng looked up at the death knight.
"Don't say anything. Enjoy the rewards given by Empress Persephone!"
The death knight continued, looking coldly at the Frostbone Dragon, which was quickly taking form, "Since you've already beco a Death God, there's no need to use the Shrine of Bones for energy conversion. You've managed to secure 8 minutes for yourselves. After 8 minutes, it will be ti for the final battle."
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo imdiately stopped delaying, quickly forming imprints with their hands to absorb the undead aura energy.
Fang Heng's gaze lingered on the Frostbone Dragon, which was floating and condensing in front of him.
"Karian... is that its na?"
Fang Heng did not hesitate. He quickly brought his hands together in front of him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
The black undead aura energy in the death knight space ford a massive vortex, funneling into Fang Heng's body with intense force!
Ga notifications flashed rapidly.
[Hint: The player is currently absorbing undead aura energy. The player gains Death God bloodline experience points: 1,293.]
[Hint: The player is currently absorbing undead aura energy. The player gains Death God bloodline experience points: 3,688...]
[Hint: The player's commander-level Death God bloodline has been upgraded to Level 2...]
Indeed!
As the death knight had said, after advancing through necromancy to beco a Death God, Fang Heng could still feel the chilling power within the aura, but it no longer affected his sea of consciousness.
As the undead aura energy was wildly absorbed, the floating ice crystal elite imprint in the sea of consciousness rapidly condensed and grew.
From the size of a grain of rice, it quickly condensed to the size of a thumb!
In less than eight minutes, the energy that had spread throughout the Great Hall had been mostly absorbed by Fang Heng.
The entire space was now enveloped in a layer of frost.
"Whoosh!!"
The death knight's eyes flickered with two icy-blue flas.
anwhile, in the center of the Great Hall, the Frostbone Dragon had fully restored its soul body and even materialized into a physical form!
The death knight slowly withdrew the long sword embedded in the ground, stood up from the throne, and looked at Fang Heng with a cold expression.
"Fang Heng, I need to borrow your strength," the death knight said, "I can temporarily leave the death space with my consciousness, but after that, I won't be able to control the Frostbone Dragon just with my will. Therefore, I need you."
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What do you an?"
"Rember the possession state you experienced in Empress Persephone's mausoleum?" The death knight continued, "I will temporarily enter your will in that manner, using your body to leave the death knight space and engage in battle with the Holy Realm."
Fang Heng instinctively wanted to refuse.
Being controlled?
It didn't sound like a good deal.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You have great potential," the death knight said, seeing Fang Heng's hesitation and thinking he was worried about his own strength. "And besides, I'm here. We can't lose this battle!"
Whoosh!!
The death knight threw his massive sword toward Fang Heng.
Fang Heng reflexively caught it.
"Bang!!!"
The death knight's long sword was extrely heavy!
[Hint: The player acquired an item-Death knight's frost long sword.]
[Item: Death knight's frost long sword.]
Description: The sword of death knight Rayz, containing the powerful will of the death knight.
Fang Heng's mind stirred as a voice erged from the sea of consciousness.
"No ti to waste. Let's begin!"
[Hint: The player has triggered mission-The Battle Will of the Death Knight.]
Mission na: The Battle Will of the Death Knight.

If they could eliminate the troubleso pursuers from the Holy Realm...
Fang Heng quickly considered his options.
Allowing the death knight to temporarily possess his will wasn't out of the question...
