Chapter 175: Demon King Puppet

The Undead Zombie King?

Hearing Prinhus say this, everyone was greatly shocked, and the power ful and confident Arthas was no exception.

The Undead Zombie King was a legendary Great Demon King.

Legend had it that millions of years ago, he had already cultivated to the Demi-god Peak, and he was the Zombie King who made people tremble with fear on the Dallas Continent. Those killed by him all had only one fate: to become unconscious death zombies, controlled entirely by him. Relying on the Cursed Armor on his body and leading a massive zombie army, he swept across the entire continent. Curse, slowness, weakness, fear… before the war even started, various evil undead spells greatly reduced the strength of the enemy army.

Back then, in order to kill this Great Demon Head, the Divine Court gathered a full twelve Demi-god Peak Strongers. Only by joining forces did they severely wound him and force him into a corner of the Wasteland. In the end, they still failed to cut off his head; he jumped into the Dead Sea, where the sun never shone, and his bones were never found.

The Dead Sea was the largest Forbidden Land on the Dallas Continent, known as the Ocean of Death. Since ancient times, no one who fell in had ever been able to swim out. After guarding the edge of the Dead Sea for over a hundred years, the Divine Court finally confirmed that the Great Demon Head, the Undead Zombie King, was thoroughly dead. They carved a demon king stone statue on the Bright Summit to commemorate this history. No one expected that this Great Demon King, who should have disappeared long ago, would actually appear inside the Dragon’s Grave!

Roar…

The Undead Demon King, standing on a giant rock, looked down at the entire battlefield and suddenly let out a roar that shook the sky. In an instant, the densely packed Zombie Warriors went completely mad. Their bodies grew a size larger with cracking sounds, and half-inch long pitch-black nails grew out of their ten fingers. Curved and pitch-black, they shone like ten sharp hooks. While making loud ‘hoh, hoh, hoh’ sounds from their throats, they launched life-threatening attacks at the people viciously. With one scratch from their sharp nails, a deep blood mark immediately appeared on the body; the wound went numb, and drops of foul-smelling black blood oozed out.

Corpse poison!

These mutated zombies were like mad dogs that had lost their minds, surrounding everyone and attacking madly. After organizing several charges, the people still could not break out. In just a few breaths, several Glory Knights were torn to pieces. The Battle Angels standing on the outer perimeter were also finding it increasingly difficult and had to shrink their formation again.

“Lord Prinhus, are you sure this is the Undead Zombie King’s True Body, and not a Thought Incarnation?” Suddenly encountering a powerful enemy, Arthas did not dare to be careless and gathered with his subordinate Holy Knights.

“Back then, when I was just a small Swordsman, I followed the army to hunt down this Great Demon Head. My first mentor died at his hands. Even if he turned to ashes, I would never forget this Great Demon Head’s appearance and aura. I can confirm that this is definitely not some Thought Incarnation!”

Prinhus’s face was gloomy. After hesitating for a moment, he continued coldly, “However, this Great Demon Head’s current pressure and aura are clearly not as terrifying as they were back then. Whether his injuries have not recovered or for some other reason, we do not know! Everyone be careful. If a partner beside you is hit by this Great Demon Head’s corpse poison, no matter the injury, kill him immediately!”

Prinhus’s voice was not loud, but it made people feel a bone-piercing chill. You looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone felt each other’s fear!

“Hahaha, Angel Squad, go die!”

Before the people could carefully discuss countermeasures against the enemy, the Undead Zombie King, draped in the Cursed Armor, suddenly made a move. His voice was hoarse and deep, and his mouth did not move, as if the sound came from his abdomen.

His body swayed, and he suddenly appeared in front of a Glory Knight, directly chopping him in two with one blade. Then, his body disappeared again. A cold light flashed in the Void, and two Fifteenth Step Battle Angels fell down. Inside the gloomy Dragon’s Grave, ordinary Demi-god Strongers found it difficult to fly, but this Great Demon Head seemed unaffected at all. His figure was elusive, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

“Careful, form the formation!”

Arthas shouted loudly, commanding his subordinate Holy Knights to form a formation. As soon as the words fell, the eight-meter-tall Great Demon Head suddenly appeared and slashed down at him fiercely from the air. With a ‘ding’, it collided with Arthas’s sharp sword, making a piercing sound. The Great Demon Head’s figure swayed, and he took advantage of the momentum to fly backward, while Arthas, holding his sharp sword, remained motionless, seemingly having the upper hand. But the twelve Holy Knights nearby could not help but let out muffled grunts. Their feet sank deep into the ground, up to their ankles.

Angel Battle Formation!

The twelve Holy Knights were well-trained and quickly formed the battle formation famous throughout the world by the Divine Court. In an instant, the power of the twelve Holy Knights merged with Arthas, dissolving and disintegrating the attack of the Great Demon Head, the Undead Zombie King.

“Attack!”

Just as the Undead Zombie King’s attack missed, Prinhus, who had been waiting for the opportunity with cold eyes, struck decisively.

He pushed hard against the ground with his toe, his figure shot up, and he stabbed his sword toward the brow of the Great Demon Head. At the same time, the two Demi-god Strongers, Moratti and Reynard, attacked in tacit understanding. One held a Magic Staff and pointed his finger forward; the Undead Zombie King, who had merged into the Void, suddenly revealed himself with nowhere to hide. The other suddenly appeared behind the Great Demon Head, cutting off his retreat and stabbing his sword toward the back of his head.

Three great Demi-god Strongers attacked together in tacit understanding instantly!

Having guarded the Holy Bead together at Glory Castle for so many years, their tacit understanding was no less than that of the many Holy Knights! Arthas, reacting quickly, was not inferior either. He used Body and Sword Unity and stabbed his sword toward the Great Demon Head’s chest, arriving first even though he started later. Going all out, his speed was even faster than that of Prinhus, whose strength was unfathomable!

Thrilling and fast as lightning!

This was a decisive battle between Strongers. The Glory Knights and Holy Knights below Demi-god strength were unable to intervene and had no time to attend to it. Facing the zombie army surging like a tide, everyone had to be extremely focused. A moment of distraction would mean being torn to pieces by these mutated zombies. Among the group, only Hu Feng, who was surrounded in the middle, could watch this great battle with full concentration!

“Impressive. If I can snatch this Cursed Armor and combine it with the Ghost King Cloak, who would be a match for the Lich Legion?”

Upon seeing him, Hu Feng took a fancy to the armor on the Undead Zombie King. As an evil Lich, he understood the value of this treasure better than anyone.

The true value of this treasure lay not in how powerful its defense was, but in the abnormal undead spells attached to it. In large-scale battles, before the fight started, it would cause all enemy troops to be affected by large areas of undead spells like slowness, curse, and weakness. Such power was simply defying the heavens. If this treasure fell into the hands of the Lich Legion, they would be invincible. No castle could withstand the surging Undead Army!

Surrounded and attacked by four great Demi-god Strongers, the powerful attacks made the Undead Zombie King, the Great Demon Head, change color. Hu Feng, watching coldly from the side, wondered whether to kick him while he was down. After thinking for a moment, he decided to keep a low profile and hide behind Lupus, watching the changes. A Great Demon Head who could live for millions of years was definitely not easy to deal with.

Ding…

Arthas’s sharp sword fiercely struck the Undead Zombie King’s chest, piercing the hard Cursed Armor and raising a spray of blood. However, before the people could cheer loudly, and before Arthas, who had struck with all his might, could breathe a sigh of relief, the injured Great Demon Head smiled evilly. His figure suddenly disappeared, causing the attacks of Prinhus, Moratti, and others to miss!

“Not good, careful!”

Prinhus cried out in alarm and tried his best to rush toward the twelve Holy Knights not far away. He was extremely fast, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late!

The injured Undead Zombie King suddenly emerged from the ground. With a light swipe of his sharp slaughter blade, he chopped off the legs of a full six Holy Knights. Then, he opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of corpse poison, thick like ink. The Angels who had no time to dodge quickly emitted wisps of black smoke from their bodies. Their holy wings flickered with black light, becoming darker and darker. In the blink of an eye, they turned from holy Archangels into unrecognizable corroded skeletons!

With just one blade, the Great Demon Head broke the Angel Battle Formation of the many Holy Knights!

The Angel Battle Formation formed by Strongers below Demi-god level was powerful, but far from perfect. The ground beneath their feet was their greatest weakness. No one expected that the evil Undead Zombie King would seize this weakness instantly and deal a fatal blow. Arthas, who was too late to come to their aid, had red eyes and chased after him viciously. Unexpectedly, the Great Demon Head retreated quickly after succeeding. In the blink of an eye, he was just a small dot, disappearing into the gloomy horizon.

“Such an Angel Squad dares to show its face. The Divine Court is getting weaker and weaker! You want to kill me? You are not qualified at all. Let your Holy Angel Squad come, hahaha!”

In the cold wind, a clear and icy voice came, completely different from the low and hoarse voice from before.

“It’s Flochra, it’s Flochra’s voice!”

Prinhus’s face showed shock, and he muttered to himself, “Could it be that she has already refined the Dark Heavenly Book and turned the Great Demon Head sealed inside into a puppet under her control?”

Listening to the voice in the cold wind, the faces of several Demi-god Strongers changed drastically, and their hands and feet turned cold. They looked at each other silently and quickly realized that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined.

The Dark Heavenly Book was known as the holy relic of the Dark Series. Whoever obtained it would become the supreme Undead Supreme! After truly refining it, not only could one seal powerful enemies, but one could also erase their Souls and turn them into powerful puppets. It was said that this treasure, handed down from ancient times, sealed many powerful top experts; there were even legendary Demon Gods.

A Demon God puppet, what did that mean?

Whether it was the proud and confident Arthas or Prinhus, who had always stayed out of the matter, at this moment, they both saw the fear in each other’s eyes.

Arthas, having calmed down, did not hesitate. He waved his hand and sent out a Magic Message. In the Dragon’s Grave, where the sun never shone all year round, a dazzling Holy Light suddenly rose, shooting straight up. At the distant Bright Summit, inside a majestic and holy palace, a young woman then slowly opened her eyes. A vast and holy aura immediately spread out far and wide, and a large bell that had not rung for a thousand years outside the main hall rang out with a melodious sound!
