Chapter 462: Battle Between Undead Energy

This grey mist was the purest and most legendary Undead Energy – Death Energy.

Death could be counted as a type of energy, and this energy was called Death Energy.

The supreme literature of the [Undead Shrine], [Code of Death], documented this final form of Undead Energy. Once the Undead Energy reached the summit, it would return to its root and become pure Death Energy. This energy was a power that was acknowledged by the gods, and it was so pure that it contained unimaginable power. Just like the Holy Power of the Holy Church, it had the power of life revival and enlightenment.

Unfortunately, since the mysterious disappearance of the 99th Undead Pope, no one was able to get on that level and gain control of the Death Energy; that was the core reason why the [Undead Shrine] lost the battle with the Holy Church.

Of course, some people thought that the Death Energy was considered as a power that even the gods were afraid of, and they believed that the gods wanted this power to disappear from the continent.

It had been many years since the [Undead Shrine] was conquered. In the beginning, there were many passionate Undead Mages who wanted to find the missing Undead Pope and wanted to get to the final form of the Undead Energy to save the [Undead Shrine]. There were a few talented geniuses who accomplished some extraordinary things, but the trend couldn’t be turned around by a few people. In the end, they were all captured and were burned alive on the fire cross on the Holy Mountain, Waulu Mountain.

As a Senior Elder, Hazel Bank had tried hard to revive the [Undead Shrine] as well. However, the cruel reality forced this man, who was influential in the old days, to run around and hide like a homeless dog in order to escape from the execution of the Holy Church. The last era was the era where Undead Energy was oppressed, and Hazel Bank lost hope and confidence. Therefore, he hid his impossible dream of reviving the [Undead Shrine] in his mind and tried to use liquor to numb himself.

As he was chased tightly after by the people of the Holy Church, his strength decreased, and he couldn’t win those fights anymore. In the last while, he was in a rough state.

About half a month ago, he suddenly learned a very secretive news.

He heard that a mysterious Undead Mage attacked a [God’s Favorite Child] named Kaka near the territory of the Zenit Empire, and a Moon-Class priest who protected Kaka was killed. Furthermore, he heard that the mysterious Undead Mage who attacked this [God’s Favorite Child] was able to use the power forbidden by the gods, the Death Energy, and was able to use high-level Undead Spells. It was very likely that this mysterious Undead Mage was someone who survived the massacre the Holy Church brought to the [Undead Shrine].

This news only got around in the elite circle, and all the powerful masters who knew about that were shocked.

The high-up officials in the Holy Church were enraged, and they paid close attention to this case. A ton of masters was sent to investigate this matter, and they wanted this mysterious Undead Mage killed!

At first, Hazel Banks ignored this news.

He didn’t believe that someone was able to use the pure Death Energy and high-level Undead Spells in this era. In his mind, he and a few other friends who survived that massacre were the only ones who were capable of using high-level Undead Spells.

However, this news stuck to his head as it ignited the hope in his mind. Therefore, he started to investigate this matter on his own in secrecy.

He didn’t think that there was a mysterious Undead Mage who was capable of all that, but he did believe that there must be a new talented young Undead Mage. He wanted to protect and save this one of the few young talents there were, so he came to Zenit to search for this mysterious Undead Mage. However, he didn’t find anything, and he got discovered by the masters of the Holy Church. As a result, they chased after him, and he barely got into the desert alive.

Fate was sometimes mystic.

Just as Hazel Bank lost all hope, what was impossible became a reality in front of him.

What he saw shocked him liked a bolt of lightning.

“You are…… you are the Undead Mage who tried to assassinate [God’s Favorite Child] Kaka?” Hazel Bank asked in a shaky voice. Although he had seen a lot in his lifetime, he became scared, and his throat got dry; he was afraid that what he saw was a hallucination he had due to his old age.

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Fei immediately denied the allegations. If this information got out, tragedy would soon land on him and the Chambord Kingdom as a whole; many families would be destroyed.

Hazel Bank was disappointed by the answer, but he soon got excited again.

“It doesn’t matter if this young King is that mysterious Undead Mage; he just used the Death Energy, the final form of Undead Energy! For a long time now, it has been only documented on [Code of Death],” Hazel Bank thought. In his eyes, anyone who had this power was a savior to Undead Energy as a whole and was worthy enough for him to protect even if it would cost his life.

This Senior Elder of the [Undead Shrine] forced himself to calm down and digest what was going on.

“The battle begins now!” Fei said as he controlled that white skeleton soldier he created using Necromancer’s Skill [Raise Skeleton]. This white skeleton soldier had a white bone blade in one hand, and a bone shield with a few broken arrows on it in the other. Without any emotions, it walked towards the black skeleton soldiers directly.

All the black skeleton soldiers backed off and created an empty circle. Under Hazel Bank’s command, one of the black skeleton soldiers walked out and was about to battle this white skeleton soldier in a one vs. one.

However, when these two skeleton soldiers were about four meters apart, something strange happened. The black skeleton soldier started to shake as if it was a rat that saw a cat. The two clouds of flames in its eye sockets also shivered like the candlelight in strong wind, and it felt like they were going to extinguish as well.

However, the white skeleton soldier stepped forward and slashed down its blade calmly, and the black skeleton soldier got chopped into pieces.

Hazel Bank’s mouth opened wide. He thought to himself in shock and surprise, “That is it! The Death Energy is a natural counter for ordinary Undead Energy; it is like the emperor to ordinary Undead Energies. The legend is true!”

Then, he ordered four more black skeleton soldiers to attack.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Without any surprise, four more pile of bones appeared on the ground.

These black skeleton soldiers that had Four-Star strengths were too weak in front of the skeleton soldier Fei summoned. Also, after these four skeleton soldiers were killed, the black mists disappeared into the air and wasn’t able to go into other skeletons to create more skeleton soldiers, and the blackness disappeared from the chopped-up bones.

Although Fei and Hazel Bank both used Undead Energy, there was a level difference between their energies.

“Let’s try something else……” Fei giggled as he pulled back his Death Energy from that skeleton soldier. He then used [Skeletal Mage], and that pile of bones quickly combined into a new skeleton. Different from that skeleton soldier who had bone blades and shields in its hands, this skeleton didn’t have any weapons with it. Instead, there were two clouds of eye-piercing silver lights in its hands as crackling noises sounded.

“Lightning-elemental Skeletal Mage? He summoned it without needing to chant any spells?” Hazel Bank was shocked again. Although he could summon skeletal mages as well, it wasn’t as easy as summoning skeleton soldiers. After all, skeleton soldiers only used physical weapons, and a skeletal mage had to be able to control supernatural power. Perhaps a skeletal mage might be weaker than a skeleton soldier, but the complexity of summoning a skeletal mage was beyond one’s imagination. Summoning a skeletal mage was equally difficult compared to making an animal speak the human language; at the end of the day, only the super masters could give them the necessary intelligence.

What was more surprising for Hazel Bank was that this skeletal mage was using lightning spells.

Since Undead Energy and poison belonged in the same category, most of the skeletal mages Undead Mages could summon were only able to use poison spells. However, the skeletal mage in front of this Senior Elder of the [Undead Shrine] redefined the limits of Skeletal Mage Spells.
