But...
Fang Heng pondered, once again falling into confusion.
Why did the ga do this? Why did it guide him to fuse and expand the death realm?
While he was still puzzled, the ga hint appeared again.
[Hint: The player completed mission-Black Fog spreading (Death Realm), Twelfth Ring (Final Ring).]
[Hint: The player obtained Crystal of Death*5, 10 million King of Gods’ points.]
[Hint: The player completed all guidance missions. Evaluation: Perfect.]
[Hint: The player has perfectly accomplished the current Phase 2 mission line. The player additionally receives final ring mission reward-Netherworld Gate.]
Huh?
The special reward was the Netherworld Gate? What was that?
Fang Heng’s mind stirred as he opened his backpack to check.
Inside the backpack lay a blueprint for an alchemy magic array.
[Item-Netherworld Gate (Alchemy magic array blueprint).]
Description: After mastering, the player can learn the ritual to open the Netherworld Gate. Once completed and activated, the alchemy magic array can open a Netherworld Gate. The gate in the Death Realm can be destroyed, and the maximum effect duration is 24 hours.
Description: One-ti item. The blueprint disappears after mastering.
Netherworld Gate!
It was an alchemy magic array that could open a passage to the Netherworld.
Fang Heng carefully examined the Netherworld Gate magic array several tis, his eyes blooming with excitent.
This thing had great potential!
Besides coordinating with evil spirit Bones in battle, the Netherworld Gate was not limited to undead units, aning he could travel back and forth through the passage like a teleportation route.
Moreover, if he could lure enemies into the Netherworld and rely on countless infinitely resurrecting evil spirit Bones to annihilate them...
Five or six potential uses for the gate imdiately sprang up in Fang Heng’s mind.
"Fang Heng, be careful."
Huh?
Fang Heng snapped out of the surprise from completing the mission and looked up at the undead instructors. He suddenly noticed that all the instructors wore grave expressions.
What?
Fang Heng raised his head to follow the instructors’ gazes and frowned.
War Knights?
From the distance ca the whinnying of warhorses.
Tall knights erged from the darkness.
The War Knights’ bodies were shrouded in shadows, their ghostly warhorses appearing ethereal. Each held a great sword covered in deep blue patterns. In groups, they surged toward the battlefield, black auras of death rolling along the ground.
Nightmare warhorses!
In a full sprint, the nightmare warhorses, wrapped in black shadows, could reach maximum speed instantly without the usual acceleration period of normal knights, charging straight to the center of the battlefield.
Their long swords slashed. Evil spirit Bones blocking the death knights were pierced through. Part of the sword that stabbed the soul bodies imdiately revealed intricate secret engravings.
A faint blue vortex appeared at the wound, as if the engravings on the sword were being absorbed into the soul bodies.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
The soul bodies struggled for a mont in midair before being instantly devoured by the death knights’ swords, their shadows condensing further.
The undead instructors’ faces darkened.
High-tier creatures of the Netherworld?
Death knights?
It was clear that the knights had great counterattacks against the evil spirit Bones.
Only when the death knights sward onto the battlefield did the instructors see their true forms.
The Netherworld Shadow Knights had only one skull as a solid bone; the rest of their bodies were shrouded in shadow.
"Careful, they are death knights," Georgi confird softly. "They can counter evil spirit Bones."
Death knights?
Fang Heng frowned. Weren’t death knights the guardians of Empress Persephone? Weren’t they all dead?
Georgi seed to notice the confusion on Fang Heng’s face and explained, "I had doubts too. Records describe two types of death knights: one under Empress Persephone, the other as we see now, with bodies shrouded in shadows. Only the skull is solid and vulnerable. Their bodies can enter a special spirit form temporarily."
"Previously, we suspected it. It seems likely that Empress Persephone based her subordinates on Netherworld death knights, but with deviations in thod, yielding different results."
As he spoke, hundreds of undead knights ford a path from the bone piles, surging directly toward Fang Heng and the others at the border where the Netherworld and Death Realm fused.
"Fang Heng, death knights are strong. Skeletal creatures cannot stop them. I suggest we withdraw to the Death Realm for now."
The other undead instructors also turned to Fang Heng with concerned looks.
Fang Heng tilted his head, watching the death knights rushing forward. Greed flashed in his eyes.
Now he had only one thought.
The death knights’ skulls were bones—did that make them skeletal creatures? Could he brand them with his skeleton summoning skill? These were far more reliable than evil spirit Bones!
Fang Heng asked, "Instructor, do you think death knights count as skeletal creatures?"
Hearing this, all the undead instructors were montarily stunned, exchanging astonished glances.
Goodness, at a ti like this, he was still considering that?
Georgi imdiately understood Fang Heng’s intent and laughed, "In my judgnt, they are a combination of spirit form and skeletal creatures, so they can be controlled with the skeleton summoning skill."
Fang Heng’s eyes brightened instantly.
That settled it!
Georgi then shifted tone, "However, Fang Heng, judging by the aura leaked from the death knights, their soul strength is extrely high. Don’t even think about sealing them, and even we would struggle to suppress their souls."
"Thank you, instructors," Fang Heng said, then turned to face the approaching death knight forces.
The undead instructors’ faces grew solemn, and they retreated toward the two ga pillars behind them, gathering closely.
The death knights’ aggro locked on the ga pillars. Their primary attacks targeted the pillars first.
Within seconds, the death knight army broke through the evil spirit Bones, heading directly for one of the pillars.
The frontmost death knights were already within the extre limit distance of the soul suppression effect.
