Chapter 1646: Chapter 196: Lord of the Undead
Qian Qian nodded approvingly and said, "Having a strong will is good, but don’t be reckless. The last three Undead Creatures can be considered the rulers of the entire Death Mountain Range. Their numbers, just like me at this seventh checkpoint, are only one each, but their strength is incomparable to the Undead Creatures of the first nine checkpoints. I don’t know much about them either. They are the Giant Winged Ghost King Hadosfen, Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul, and Evil Dragon Heralbink. Their power has reached the realms of gods and demons. The Giant Winged Ghost King Hadosfen is the most low-key among the Undead Creatures. Previously, I only heard about him from the Evil Dragon Heralbink, and I have no idea what abilities he possesses. The Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul is the most evil among all the Undead Creatures. He seems to have originally been a powerful being from the Demon Realm, revitalized in the Death Mountain Range through the resentment and Evil Aura of the Undead after being killed by a Sky God. The abilities he possesses truly epitomize immortality. I only know that his form is similar to mine, seemingly an energy form capable of summoning Undead Creatures, meaning he can summon those from the first nine checkpoints. Of course, the summoned Undead Creatures have no intelligence. As for how powerful he is, I also do not know. Speaking of which, among these last three rulers of the Undead, I’m most familiar with the final one, the Evil Dragon Heralbink. I don’t know the exact extent of Heralbink’s strength; I only know that the Head of the Dark Saint Church, who possesses the Undead Handbook, claims to be his servant and respects him deeply, not daring to show any negligence. Although he’s called an Evil Dragon, he’s not a real dragon. A thousand years ago, when the entrance to the Demon Realm was opened, the Hades from the Demon Realm descended into the mortal world, and Heralbink was his mount. The extinction of the Dragon Clan was entirely caused by Heralbink alone. He annihilated the entire Dragon Clan by himself, and that’s how the Bone Dragon of the ninth checkpoint came to be. It was eventually a Sky God who descended and, during a great battle with Hades, killed him. Later, as the entrance to the Demon Realm was sealed by the Sky God, Hades didn’t manage to take away his soul. With his own power, Heralbink resurrected in the form of an Undead with the help of the Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul. Heralbink is truly too powerful. Though he falls into the category of an Undead Creature, his revived form is no different from before. He is the supreme ruler of the entire Death Mountain Range. Before the Church of the Dark Saint came, all the Undead Creatures had to pay him respects every year, allowing him to absorb their Evil Aura at will. His body length exceeds one hundred fifty meters, and his whole body is covered in dark blue scales. His biggest difference from dragons is the absence of horns on his head. Among the Undead Creatures, Heralbink despises Bone Dragons the most. In the past, when bored, he would visit their habitats and smash them into bones for fun. Although he doesn’t actually kill these Bone Dragons, they react to him as mice do to cats. Once, I witnessed Heralbink smashing over two hundred Bone Dragons to pieces in just five minutes. His strength is truly terrifying, and his soul is exceedingly powerful. With a casual swipe, he can scatter several Bone Dragons possessing high defensive power. When I see him, the only feeling in my heart is fear. Heralbink’s acceptance of the Dark Saint Church into the Death Mountain Range mainly lies in his desire to open the entrance to the Demon Realm and welcome his master, Hades, as he can no longer endure the solitude in the Death Mountain Range."
Ah Dai listened dazedly to Qian Qian’s recount, his initial confidence somewhat shaken, muttering, "Giant Winged Ghost King Hadosfen, Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul, Evil Dragon Heralbink. Qian Qian, do you think that with my current strength, I can’t contend with any of the three?"
Qian Qian was silent for a while before she sighed lightly, nodded quietly, and said, "When I saw you today, I clearly felt that you had grown stronger, much stronger than when I saw you last time. If you had this skill back then, I certainly wouldn’t have dared to use Soul Piercing on you. Your cultivation has reached a very high realm, close to some of the Sky Gods I had seen. But, compared to the three major Undead Lords, with the aura you show, I estimate, perhaps you might only contend with the Giant Winged Ghost King Hadosfen, whether you can win I don’t know. Hadosfen’s power is somewhat stronger than that of the Bone Dragon King, but not as strong as the combined Bone Dragon Corps; his position as one of the three major Undead Lords is mainly due to his good relationship with the Evil Dragon. As for the Immortal Evil Witch King Nazgul and the Evil Dragon Heralbink, don’t even think about it. That’s not a strength one individual can compete against."
Ah Dai nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me all this, it allows me to be somewhat prepared. Since you said these Undead Creatures are not limited by regions, will they join forces to attack us? If they join forces, I’m afraid we’ll really have no chance at all."
Qian Qian shook her head, saying, "You can rest assured about this; they won’t team up. The Undead Fire Demon is cunning, but doesn’t get along well with Bone Dragons. Bone Dragons are the only Undead Creatures that retain some of their original temperament. And the Fire Sprite is extremely evil. As for the three major Lords, they are immensely proud and won’t collaborate with anyone, especially Heralbink. In his eyes, aside from the one who helped resurrect him, Nazgul, and the powerful Hadosfen, all other Undead Creatures are just slaves beneath his feet."
