Greenshaw held the pitch-black cone-shaped magic wand in his right hand and the metal box containing the bone-mending wand in his left, swaggering through the fortress.
He casually threw out several black lightning bolts, igniting the imperial soldiers on both sides of the road, enjoying the feast of death amid the splattering blood.
“Too weak! The Imperial Army is too weak! Isn’t there anyone here who can fight?”
As his words fell, two tall figures burst out of the walls on both sides of the road, rushing towards him with flying stone bricks. Greenshaw suddenly screeched like a duck with its neck wrung.
“The Imperial Fist is hiding here!”
The fortress’s commanding and assistant warrant officers were on the move!
One of them was a lieutenant and the other a second lieutenant, both possessing extraordinary abilities of the Second Order and First Order “Imperial Fist.”
At the same time they appeared, angry shouts came from the direction of the fortress entrance:
“Damn Death Notice Guild wizard! Your time has come!”
Three mountain-like biochemical titans rushed in from the entrance, pushing all the soldiers they encountered along the way.
There were two more second lieutenants and one lieutenant!
The situation on the scene changed in an instant, with Greenshaw now at a disadvantage.
With a scream, he turned into a floating black smoke, barely dodging the jets of fire shot out by the titans, making a sharp turn in midair, lightning-fast, heading for the tomb entrance.
Halfway there, the metal box that followed Greenshaw was hit by several shells from the titans.
The noise of the metal shattering echoed throughout the area. The metal box that sealed the bone-mending wand was broken!
“No, no, no!”
Greenshaw’s screams continued unabated.
The bone-mending wand fell to the ground and rolled around several times. Greenshaw stopped flying with an “emergency brake,” lunged for the bone-mending wand, but hesitated to pick it up.
As the Imperial Titans surrounded him, he let out a crazed scream, stretched out his arms towards the bone-mending wand on the ground, and grabbed it: “You forced me to do this! Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!”
When he grabbed the bone-mending wand, his skin began to boil like hot, surging water!
Rolls of black smoke gushed from his facial features and hair, and the scene’s light quickly dimmed.
“Stop him quickly! Don’t let him draw power from the wand!”
The Imperial Titans roared, firing shells and flame pillars into the black smoke, and the deafening explosions made the entire fortress tremble.
Floors, walls, ceilings, cracks appeared everywhere, and chunks of rubble were falling down with loud crashing noises.
“All soldiers, evacuate quickly!” The leading Imperial Captain ordered.
The black smoke grew thicker, spinning rapidly, swirling around the central figure.
A black, humanoid figure that seemed to swallow up all light and shade emerged in the smoke.
The Imperial Titans clenched their teeth, madly outputting ammunition and flames, but they couldn’t move the smoke and figure at all.
All the shells, all the flames, were crushed to dust by the black smoke the moment they entered, falling to the ground as ashes.
Just when all the titans thought Greenshaw was about to counterattack, they saw the figure in the black smoke shoot towards the tomb entrance, crashing through the metal gate with a loud bang, and disappearing into the dark tomb passage behind the door.
“Not good! This guy doesn’t want to fight to the death! He’s trying to slip away through the tomb’s waterway!”
“Everyone, chase after him! We must stop him! We cannot let him bring the magic wand back to the city!”
The Imperial Titans, with their heavy steps, rushed into the tomb, broke open the door with their iron-like elbows, and stepped into the tomb following Greenshaw’s footsteps.
Once both sides left, dust filled the scene, as wails broke out everywhere.
Dead soldiers lay dead, wounded soldiers clutched their arms and thighs, moaning in pain on the ground.
Noland Lee cast “Disguise as a Living Corpse” to hide his face and figure, pushed open the door, and quickly ran towards the tomb entrance.
No one noticed him.
Everyone was dealing with their injuries or lying on the ground waiting for death.
As Noland passed the guardhouse at the entrance, he reached out and grabbed the guard’s breathing mask and filter cartridge from the bench.
As soon as he stepped into the tomb passage, a cold, damp tomb atmosphere hit his face, and the air was filled with yellow-green poisonous fog.
This poisonous fog was the “air” that undead creatures in the realm of the undead relied on for survival.
Noland observed the fog with his naked eyes now.
The fog was thin, and the light from the fortress easily penetrated the fog, shining on the walls of the tomb passage.
This meant the fog concentration was low, and the number of undead inside the tomb was small.
However!
The bone-mending wand could drive the undead mad and greatly enhance their combat capabilities.
Otherwise, when the Death Herald Guild tried to assassinate Lieutenant Sterling Parker, they would not have placed their hopes entirely on the bone-mending wand.
Facing this situation, Noland remained extremely vigilant.
He used a “Magic Shield” to cover himself, held the “Cripple Spell” and “Soul Bribery” techniques in his “hand,” ready to throw them out at any time.
The dim tomb passage extended diagonally upwards, with Noland using deconstruction to probe the way ahead, spotting the Cavern Stalkers lying on the walls in advance.
These creatures, which should have been disguised as stone bricks, were now climbing out from the walls. They swayed their whips in the air, looking eager to fight someone.
Noland understood that this was the effect of the bone-mending wand, which had driven the undead in the tomb into a frenzy..
