Damn, what a quick reaction!
Hearing the furious shout from outside the ice layer, I couldn't help but curse inwardly. I didn't continue hiding but instead pushed my 'mount' to full throttle, digging fiercely at the glacier in front of !
When the mountain patrol girl first consud the Blood of the Dead, Leon was delighted to discover that perhaps due to "nearly dying" causing a delay in thought, her defense of her Heart Lake suddenly weakened significantly.
But after discovering this huge loophole, Leon didn't imdiately invade her Heart Lake. Instead, he adjusted his erosion intensity while continuously taunting her, provoking her to consu more Blood of the Dead, further weakening her resistance.
When the patrol girl shut off her senses, and the first dead erged, drawing all attention, Leon temporarily escaped from her Heart Lake, picked up the Blood of the Dead thrown on the ground by the Faceless Man, and forcefully fed it to her.
The last straw that broke the cal's back, the mountain patrol girl, already reaching her limit, lost consciousness without a sound, and her entire Heart Lake was completely occupied by Leon.
Seizing the opportunity during the Overlords of the Dead Realm's internal strife, Leon, now with control over the patrol woman's unconscious body, quietly slipped into the Frozen River.
Who the heck has ti to listen to your debates? I'm just gonna dig, dig, dig, dig!
...
"Stop him! Quickly stop him!"
Hearing the sound of ice breaking within the Frozen River, even the slowest person would realize what was happening. Amidst the Faceless Man's furious roar, the Overlords of the Dead Realm rushed into the chasm, desperately chasing deeper.
However, just a few pieces of broken ice were enough to 'freeze' an injured Lord of Death, so the density of death in the entire Frozen River was self-evident.
The Overlords of the Dead Realm had just entered the hole dug by Leon, and before they managed to go far, they were covered in thick white frost, their movents hindered by the dense death rules.
Leon, although able to rely on the resistance given by the Materialism badge to push against the death rules, found the death ice walls of the Frozen River unusually tough. The patrol girl's nails were digging to the point of breaking, yet he could only inch forward slowly.
With each facing their own troubles, Leon and the pursuing Overlords of the Dead Realm engaged in a painfully slow 'race against death', advancing at a tortoise's pace through the ice walls.
However, the race didn't last long. As they gradually delved deeper into the Frozen River, the icy breath of death intensified again, reducing the Overlords' speed to that of a turtle.
While Leon's speed was also affected, thanks to the supermodel resistance provided by Materialism, he continued pushing against the cold, already glimpsing the ancient coffin frozen in the ice layer, just a step away from digging it out.
This is a sure win!!!
Seeing the bluish-black coffin so close, Leon couldn't help but beam with genuine joy.
Knowing that the manpower deployed by the cleanup bureau, along with his own trump cards, was enough to bulldoze through the Realm of the Dead, this coffin's corpse remained the last unstable factor.
Considering the Overlords of the Dead Realm plotting against the cleanup bureau wouldn't all enter the Sage's Cetery, and if the cleanup bureau were to pursue, they'd certainly suffer heavy losses if frozen on the spot. Hence, he had to destroy it as much as possible.
As for the thod… let touch it! Just a guarantee is enough!
Controlling the patrol woman to scrape out the coffin, then uncovering a corner with effort, Leon imdiately switched out the Arcane Inheritor (Taurus), reaching into the pitch-black coffin.
I can't forge the incredible supernatural artifacts, but one lousy artifact forged becos garbage clogging the toilet!
No matter if it's the corpse of the Divine Pillar or the source of death, let touch it, and a little forge with Taurus's secret technique will guarantee it becos super trash that even clogs the toilet!
"No!"
Seeing the smile on Leon's face as he reached out, the Faceless Man, struggling from behind, couldn't help but shiver, sensing an uncanny chill colder than death.
"The lamp! Use your lamp!"
Hearing the Faceless Man's words, the old man with the lamp hesitated for a mont, then said cautiously:
"It's too close; it's very dangerous, and a slight mistake could also take the coffin down with it. Besides, the corpse of the first dead is very sturdy; he could only destroy a small part at most. We can totally afford to wait..."
"No! We can't wait!"
Watching Leon erge from the patrol woman's heart, with half his body entering the coffin, an alarm bell ringing in his heart, the Faceless Man howled:
"Listen to ! Act now, or it'll be too late!!!"
Alright then…
Hearing the Faceless Man's near-hysterical scream, although the old man with the lamp felt it unnecessary, he chose to trust him, carefully opening his lamp, dipping his incomplete right hand in so lamp oil, and drawing in the air at Leon's feet.
"Crunch!"
The sound of tearing that had just "sent away" the first dead echoed once more, the solid ice layer beneath Leon's feet vanished halfway, replaced by a sheer cliff like one carved by knives and axes.
The mont the Cliff of the End, the edge of the Dead Realm, appeared, Leon's feet were just stepping out beyond the cliff, as if sucked by an enormous gravitational force, tumbling him and the first dead's coffin, on the brink of falling off the Cliff of the End together.
And at that mont, the Artisan, the Faceless Man, the Concealing Master, the Death Workshop Lord, Grandma Crow-eye, and the Digging River Yellow Worm… a total of six Overlords of the Dead Realm, simultaneously let out a roar, temporarily freeing themselves from the deathly pressure, rushing towards the Cliff of the End.
In Leon's astonished gaze, the ten arms from the six Lords of the Dead Realm… and a tail of yellow mud-stained earthworm, as if from the sa body, executed an impeccably perfect maneuver.
Eight arms, alongside the tail of Digging River Yellow Worm, grabbed handles, wrapped the coffin, and held onto the first dead's coffin tightly, forcibly pulling the heavy coffin back from the clutches of the Cliff of the End.
anwhile, the two fingerprint-less hands of the Faceless Man did not hesitate, directly reaching for Leon, firmly pressing against his chest.
Phew… just in ti!
Glancing at the coffin dragged back by the others, the Faceless Man couldn't help but let out a long breath, revealing a peculiar mouthless and eyeless smile at Leon, then with a sudden force of his arms, he shoved the dumbstruck Leon towards the bottomless precipice!
"Goodbye!"
