Chapter 65: Chapter65-Devouring the Army, the God of the Undead
Facing the devout prayers of these natives, John accepted their request.
The next moment, his figure flashed.
He actually stepped directly onto empty air and walked toward the battlefield below.
With every step he took, his body shifted hundreds of meters forward.
His footsteps continued, and the battlefield drew closer and closer.
Seeing this scene, the people behind him became even more reverent.
"Is this the power of a god?"
"As expected of a divine envoy. Not only is he selfless, but he also possesses such mighty divine power."
"I hope this divine envoy can help us resolve the undead calamity."
"..."
Watching John gradually enter the battlefield, all the soldiers and officers inside the fortress grew solemn.
Just as everyone thought John was about to be swallowed by the undead army below, his figure suddenly stopped only five meters away from the undead horde.
"So many undead. Perfect for me to devour."
The next moment, John silently said in his heart,
"System, devour!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, an invisible wave rapidly swept across a vast area of undead before him.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, countless undead transformed into white light and merged into John’s body.
With John as the starting point, all undead within several hundred meters in front of him were forcibly absorbed by the system.
[You have devoured a Lv.15 Undead Acolyte. Free Attribute Points +15!]
[You have devoured a Lv.25 Undead Warlord. Free Attribute Points +25!]
[You have devoured...]
With just one wave of devouring, a blank space appeared across the undead battlefield.
John’s expression did not change. He quickly locked onto the undead in other areas.
"Continue devouring!"
[You have devoured a Lv.35 Undead Mage. Free Attribute Points +35!]
[You have devoured...]
After only a few rounds of devouring, all the undead beneath this fortress were completely devoured by John alone.
Looking at the empty battlefield, without those undying undead and without that rotting aura, both the soldiers on the battlefield and the soldiers inside the fortress fell into a brief daze.
They had never imagined that the moment John acted, he would solve all the undead in such a simple and brutal manner.
At this moment, John’s figure in their hearts was as lofty and powerful as a true god.
"This is too terrifying!"
"So this is a god’s envoy? He looks as powerful as a god himself."
"If we had even one-tenth of the divine envoy’s strength, this battle would never have been so difficult."
All the soldiers looked at John’s figure hovering in the sky, and their awe deepened even further.
At that moment, John’s figure flashed again.
He appeared once more on the battlefield beneath another fortress.
The instant he appeared, he decisively activated Devour.
The entire undead battlefield seemed to be wiped clean by an invisible eraser. Dense traces of undead existence were continuously erased.
They were converted into John’s free Attribute Points.
The human side, which had originally been fighting with their lives on the line, was completely stunned.
They were still desperately clashing blades with the undead.
Then in the next moment, a silver-white figure appeared in the sky.
That figure merely raised his hand slightly, and the undying enemies before them instantly vanished, leaving behind only an empty battlefield.
After only a few trips back and forth, all the undead on the remaining battlefields had been devoured cleanly by him.
At this moment, the entire area fell silent.
Every human soldier along this section of the Undead Great Wall looked toward John, who stood high in the air.
A moment later, cheers like a tsunami erupted.
"Glory to the divine envoy!"
"So undead can actually be killed like this? Terrifying!"
"It’s hard to imagine that these were the undead that drove us to despair not long ago!"
"He is our savior! Our deliverer!"
Amid the cheers, John remained expressionless.
He glanced at his free Attribute Point balance. After this round of devouring, the gains were merely average.
Because the levels of these undead were not high, the attributes gained from devouring them were not particularly impressive.
However, after this display, John had already become a true divine envoy in the eyes of the natives of this world.
His Reputation had directly reached its peak.
At this moment, many people secretly swore in their hearts that they would definitely build a statue of John inside the fortress and worship it for all eternity.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Only when John’s figure slowly descended before them did everyone finally come back to their senses.
The commanders immediately gave orders for everyone to clean up the battlefield.
However, because John had devoured everything too cleanly, there was actually not much left to clean.
After they settled the surviving wounded and the corpses that had not yet transformed into undead, the sky had already darkened.
Night had fallen.
In the darkness, the Undead Great Wall looked even more like a terrifying giant beast lying across the desolate battlefield.
However, at this moment, many fortresses along the Undead Great Wall had rarely lit bonfires, and long-lost cheers of celebration rang out.
Because of John’s overwhelming victory, the human allied army held a grand feast to celebrate.
As the guest of honor, John was invited with the utmost ceremony.
"Everyone, we gather here today not to celebrate our own merit, but to thank this divine envoy!"
The highest commander respectfully introduced John to the crowd.
"The divine envoy is a hero sent by the great god to save this world. If not for him today, we would likely have already become part of that undead army!
"So here, I offer this cup to the divine envoy!"
"Yes, to the divine envoy!"
"Cheers!"
John nodded slightly and also drank the sour fruit wine in his cup in one gulp.
For the first time in a long while, laughter and joy echoed across the city wall.
...
At the same time, outside the dungeon world.
A vast black shadow, enormous like a storm cloud, enveloped the entire dungeon world.
If John were here, he would recognize the owner of this black shadow at a glance.
It was none other than the God of the Undead.
His level and attributes had already been stacked to the limit. They could no longer be summarized by a mere status panel.
As the god who ruled over all undead, one of his interests was transforming many small worlds into undead nests.
The small world before him was one of the targets he planned to convert into his undead nest.
Originally, this world had already been on the verge of collapse and was about to be completely transformed by him.
Yet today, he suddenly sensed that most of the undead he had left inside had vanished into thin air.
To be more precise, it was as if they had been swallowed by some invisible force.
"Damn it. Who was it?"
At first, the God of the Undead was full of confusion.
But very quickly, he suddenly reacted.
Not long ago, he seemed to have sensed a similar power through the consciousness of another dying dependent.
John’s figure surfaced in his mind.
"Could it be that bastard again?"
The aura around the God of the Undead suddenly erupted violently.
At this moment, he was already able to lock onto the fact that John was definitely inside this small world.
"To be able to instantly devour undead... this person is absolutely a mortal threat to my undead."
The God of the Undead’s gaze flickered.
But so what?
For every height reached, there was always a greater countermeasure.
He had his own ways to deal with this.
