Chapter IX: Peace Conference Blood City (2)
Roland, an ordinary name, but also represents the name of death.
The sword of death is synonymous with death.
Three hundred years ago, when this undead appeared in history, humans who had settled in the Northern Continent once again realized the terror of the undead.
Unlike the Lichs of the Death Leader, under the leadership of General War, the Death Knights destroyed Manning, the northern power of the then powerful country at an extremely terrible speed. Although only the Church of Light knew the inside story, as a continuation of the magic empire, the Fanue Magic Academy still retained some records about the time.
Because of his blind ambition, King Rahode of Manning gave his most loyal subordinates, the heroic knights who fought on the front line, to the evil god Shasili, in exchange for rule over human territory.
These living sacrifices were summoned to magic circles and threw them into the underworld. They used the energy transformed by their life to shake the connecting space connecting Anesia and the foreign lands, trying to bring back the evil gods who were exiled to the dark space by the gods to the present world.
I don’t know which link is wrong, but the evil god did not return to Anesia because of the success of the magic circle. Instead, the silent underworld began to become active.
A large number of undead creatures ran to the earthly realm. The Church of Light and the Temple of Earth took a lot of energy to work together to close the door of the underworld that was forcibly opened, and for this, the life of a great priest was sacrificed.
But even so, Manning still did not escape the fate of destruction.
Perhaps because he was cursed by the Knights betrayed by the king, Manning not only did not replace the Holy Empire and the Church of Light to become the new ruler of mankind, but was destroyed by the army of undead at an extremely fast speed.
If it weren't for the God of Light at that time who had reduced his lifespan in exchange to summon the arrival of the Goddess of Light, perhaps Manning was not the only one who suffered in the Northern Continent.
This undead invasion made this man realize for the first time that those undead who call them rebirth may threaten their existence in the earthly realm.
Due to the ban of the Church of Light, there are very few records about Roland and the Sword of Death. If the Death Corps had not opened the gates of the Underworld forty years ago, this almost forgotten undead would not have entered people's sight again.
Sweeping the human country along the way, spreading the plague of death to every inch of land that nightmare passed through.
The tireless steps of the undead were not stopped until Hahodell in Shandu. The help of the white elves from the foggy forest gave the defeated army a little respite. If it weren't for the urgent assistance from the Church of Light that arrived later, this last line of defense would have been destroyed by the undead.
The use of the Dragon Clan Covenant made the army, which was almost invincible in the undead, fail for the first time. After paying the lives of three adult ancient dragons, the Gate of the Underworld was once again closed, and the heavy losses of the Church of Light and the White Elf have not yet been fully restored.
At first, he heard that the Gate of the Underworld was opened again, and Batuya made the decision to temporarily move the entire academy south. But a few months later, the Death Leader not only did not make any noise, but eventually turned into an alliance between the night elves and the undead that shocked the world.
Batuya was shocked and terrified when he heard the legendary general of the Underworld appearing in Hahodel.
He is not a brainless person. The terrifying thing about this high-level undead is not that she can summon the Death Knights, but her own existence.
Ordinary people only see those undead knights under her control, but who knows that the existence of a undead who is completely immune to the spell of light is itself a violation of the law.
King, these ancient undeads that only exist in the underworld are not something ordinary humans can resist.
Every time they appear, they bring considerable shock to Anesia's stability.
Today, a king who has never appeared in history has awakened from his sleep, and its power is far greater than that of other kings.
No matter how the church closed the news, some magic academies such as Fanue still knew that the undead that invaded the Northern Continent forty years ago came from the instructor of a certain undead king.
Now, when I heard that the undead that had caused the suffering of the Northern Continent to appear again in Hahodel, even with all the elites of the academy, Batuya could not suppress the fear that began to rise quietly in his heart.
The more you know about the undead, the more you can know the strength of a high-level undead with a status second only to a king.
Taking advantage of the undead's attack, escaping became the only thought in Batuya's mind.
But before he could think of how to leave, the rebuke of the priest of the Light beside him turned his thoughts that had just formed in his mind into a bubble.
"Guards!! Go and inform Duke Valesi of the Demons in the city, and block the entire city, and no one is allowed to enter and exit. Even the nobles strictly prohibit it. Also, it is no longer safe to recall the citizens of the outer city to the main city. No matter whether there is a large army of demons approaching, just the appearance of General Dark War, we cannot be at ease. No matter what agreement the night elves and the church have, I cannot ignore the existence of this undead." Seeing that the guards were standing stupidly, the priest couldn't help but raise his voice; "What are you still standing stupidly?!"
"Shadlar..." Mede's eyes stared at the bluestone street leading to the Edma Temple. When the black-haired knight slowly appeared from the corner of the street, all the pedestrians retreated involuntarily.
The breath of death invisibly made everyone who saw her instinctively retreat.
This is General Ming Zhan, the legendary terrifying sword of death?
Almost everyone who saw her felt a bigger shock than when she heard her name.
She is short and thin, with an age of no more than twenty years old, and is a girl who is almost the same as an ordinary person. If it weren't for her black appearance, no one would have noticed her ordinary facial features.
But the strong aura of death that cannot be ignored, the biting cold breath and pale and bloodless skin that made everyone close to her feel repeatedly explained her identity - the undead.
"This...how is this possible. Moya?!"
Batuya couldn't believe his eyes. The undead actually had the same appearance as his mortal enemy Moya.
If you really want to find out any difference, it is the difference in body shape.
Moya, who is of the ancient elf blood, is a little taller, and the undead in front of her is not only a little shorter, but she also does not have the divine breath that is worn by the artifact.
“Where is Agudale?”
Roland's words were not only shocked by the great priest Sharadel, but even Mede next to him showed a surprised expression.
From the day it existed, this ancient ruin was strictly guarded by the emperors of all generations. Shadlar could almost certain that the two black undead in front of him who was the legendary general who once destroyed Hahodell.
If... the secret information recorded in the historical archives is true, the undead in front of you should be the strange Truk who was killed as the Son of the Dark God three hundred years ago, and the only Truk without magic in record.
If it weren't for the purpose of refusing the prophecy, the Church of Light would not have agreed to King Manning's almost ridiculous proposal to open the door to the underworld and throw the death row prisoner who should have been punished by the sky fire into the underworld - the alien world that would never have survived.
However, it was the indulgence and acquiescence of the Church of Light that gave Manning the opportunity and took advantage of this opportunity to open the Gate of the Underworld to cast the magic circle.
Due to the loss of some information, Sharadell could not know how the magic circle was cast. The last record in the documentary hall only shows that a large number of Manning people were taken as sacrifices and threw themselves into the underworld, along with the two black girl named Roland. The location where the magic circle was cast was Hahodel, who has been called "barrier" since ancient times.
Looking at the soldiers surrounding him, Roland sighed lightly; "No matter how resentful the dead are, they will not be resurrected because of any revenge. Revenge is meaningless. I don't want to provoke any trouble in my personal name and give me the key to Agudale."
"That is not only the church wants to ban it, but even the white elves also said that the things inside must not appear. How could I hand it over to you, who is the public enemy of mankind?" The priest raised the authority of life in his hand, and the scorching holy light shot directly at the undead standing quietly under the steps of the temple.
Without the expected burning, nor the expected destruction, the double black undead still stood quietly, and the Holy Light Technique did not play any role in her.
The light spell that should have caused the undead to die has actually failed to work on a undead!!
Shadral took two steps back in horror. This is the most terrifying thing about General Dark War in the legend.
The Holy Light Technique, which should be the most effective for the undead, could not harm her. Even the arrival of the goddess Tillian did not completely destroy the undead.
"Don't experiment with your light spell on me again, give me the key. I don't want to see any death or injury again, that's meaningless. Although I don't want to hurt the innocent, Rafa doesn't mind trading a city for the key in your hand." If Rafa arrived, he would not give humans who were regarded as inferior creatures, any chance to think. A wave of death could solve the problem. Roland was most reluctant to do this, so she, who had already left the city, returned to Hahodell, so she wanted the Church of Light to ask for the key to open the underground ruins nearby.
The crown of Doomsday, which hides the source of power mentioned by Rafa, is in the ruins that were jointly sealed by the Church of Light and the White Elf, one of the nine seals of the ancient gods. If it weren't for this, Rafa wouldn't have gone far and wandered to the north.
"I knew you would be here, Roland. Humans are not worthy of your pity. They are all greedy and ignorant creatures. They adhere to the pride and arrogant nature of the gods. Your conversation with them will not have any results."
Before Shadlar could respond, the Necromancer, who quietly appeared behind Roland, brought even worse news.
"Shacili's lackey is coming soon, you're still here to be scrambling with these guys."
"The Undead..." The posture of the King of Necromancer made the soldiers retreat, and the unspeakable trembling made them retreat instinctively.
"Killing is meaningless, Rafa." Knowing what kind of killing is about to face, Roland tried to make the final struggle.
If possible, she doesn't want the humans in this city to lose their lives in vain.
"No, cleaning is necessary. Even if all humans are not killed now, I will sooner or later erase this race from Anesia. Their existence is like the demons, which makes me disgusted." Understanding Roland's thoughts, Rafa flatly rejected her proposal. In order to deal with the upcoming demon army, he must transform the people in the entire city into undeads that can be used by him.
"At least...not now, you have to give Moya time, it takes time to open the seal."
"Do you think I still need the Truk who has hidden ambitions after unbuttoning the second seal?" Amid the sneer, Rafa raised his pale arms.
A large amount of death energy spreads with the King of Necromancer as the center, and the air is filled with a panic-making cold air, and people begin to feel suffocating.
"Shield of Holy Light..." hurriedly opened the powerful barrier, but the Master of Light still found that this barrier, which is the most solid in the world, could not resist the erosion of the power of death.
Under the shadow of the black energy cover, soldiers with slightly less resistance began to grab their throats constantly. The thin air made everyone open their mouths and make a "huff" gasp.
"No... what is the difference between doing this and doing it and doing it and Shacili. Stop it, Rafa, are you really so eager for destruction?" Knowing that you shouldn't have said, and knowing that doing this will only anger him again, Roland couldn't help but speak.
Stop spreading death to the entire city, only the undead on the upper body slowly turned around, and the cruelty emanating from his eyes that Roland, who was mentally prepared, was also afraid.
"I just can't bear to see life disappear, that's all..." He dared not look at the death gaze contained in his eyes, Roland lowered his head and trembled his request.
After wandering around his contract knight twice, the Necromancer finally gave up his previous thoughts; "I will give you a chance to see how long these humans can resist under the attack of the demon army."
When Rafa entered his body like before, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. This time he finally didn't have to face the test like last time. Although it was an immortal body, it felt bad to be burned by the fire of the soul. If you do it again, maybe you really can't bear it.
