Chapter 66: Chapter66-Undead Portal
At the victory banquet, John exchanged a few perfunctory words with everyone before casually finding an excuse to leave.
If he wanted to completely resolve the undead crisis, he first had to find the source of everything.
Late at night, cold winds howled across the Great Wall. The icy wind cut against John’s face like blades.
He narrowed his eyes and walked against the wind.
Because of the battle during the day, he had already cleared a batch of undead outside the Great Wall.
For now, as he walked through the night, he did not encounter any undead.
Besides, he had Anti-Law: Traceless activated at this moment.
Right now, not a trace of aura was leaking from his body.
Heading north, John encountered many undead army gathering points one after another.
But because of Anti-Law: Traceless, not a single undead sensed his arrival.
Under such smooth circumstances, he eventually arrived at the foot of a snowy mountain.
According to John’s spiritual perception, the undead aura here was the densest.
This place was very likely one of the sources of the undead invasion.
"Is it here?"
John murmured.
The next moment, his figure flashed, and he appeared at the top of the snowy mountain.
Heavy snow drifted down from the sky.
And on the steep mountaintop, an incomparably massive portal stood towering.
This portal was over a thousand meters tall, and its width nearly occupied the entire summit.
When he had been at the foot of the snowy mountain just now, he had already seen this portal.
Within its frame, a darkness like ink was constantly writhing.
Beside this portal, countless undead guards around Lv.50 were stationed here, guarding it with absolute loyalty.
It was clear how much importance the undead placed on this portal.
"Those undead should all be coming out from this portal."
John’s gaze turned solemn as he examined the portal.
Within his perception, the entire portal was emitting an extremely ominous aura of Death Authority.
It was very likely that this portal was one of the Death Authority Fragments.
Just as John was thinking about how to deal with this gate, the Undead Portal suddenly trembled violently.
The entire snowy mountain seemed to shake along with it.
John nearly lost his footing. With a stumble, he directly bumped into one of the undead guards nearby.
The undead guard suffered an inexplicable collision, and a damage number appeared above its head.
[-12!]
The ghostly flames in its eyes instantly turned red. Its upper and lower bones began clattering rapidly, warning the other undead nearby.
Dong, dong, dong!
In an instant, all the undead guards on the mountaintop went into chaos.
They had all been alerted by John’s action just now, but they could not find any target to attack. They could only strike wildly in every direction like headless flies.
John looked at the undead that had fallen into disorder and frowned.
"Forget it. Since they’ve already been alerted, I might as well deal with them directly."
With that thought, he canceled Anti-Law: Traceless, and his body appeared.
The next moment, those undead guards instantly locked onto the only living person on the mountaintop.
They roared and surrounded John, charging in to kill him.
But as John raised his hand, he silently said in his heart,
"Devour."
The next moment—
Dense system notifications rang out alongside the disappearance of countless undead.
[You have devoured a Lv.50 Undead Guard. Free Attribute Points +50, EXP +50,000!]
[You have devoured a Lv.50 Undead Knight. Free Attribute Points +50, EXP +50,000!]
[You have devoured...]
One towering undead figure after another vanished under John’s Devour.
But he had devoured fewer than ten when a warning suddenly rang beside his ears.
[Warning: Death Authority backlash effect detected within the corpses devoured this time. Excessive devouring will trigger a certain-death risk!]
Hearing this prompt, John frowned slightly.
He could not help clicking his tongue.
"What a nuisance. Looks like I can only do this directly."
As his voice fell, a terrifying mass of fire elemental energy rapidly condensed before his chest.
Boom!
Just as an undead was about to touch him, the long-charged Wrath of Flames erupted.
The perennial snow covering the entire mountaintop instantly melted clean away.
Even the stone itself was partially melted.
As for every undead touched by the energy mass, without exception, they were instantly killed and reduced to nothingness.
[-610,076!]
[-610,076!]
[You have killed a Lv.60 Undead Guard Captain. Free Attribute Points +60, EXP +60,000!]
[You have killed...]
With this round of nuclear explosion, John annihilated all the undead on the mountaintop.
However, because the commotion was too great, the undead at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the slope were all awakened.
Sensing that the portal was under threat, they all rose rapidly and charged over to kill him.
One snowman zombie after another climbed up the rock face.
Behind them, many three-meter-tall humanoid skeletons appeared, holding staffs and wearing cloaks.
Snowman zombies, undead mages, bone knights...
These were all elite monsters among the undead.
Dense undead aura spread from each of their bodies.
Seeing this, John showed no fear at all.
He merely twisted his neck, and his joints released a crisp series of cracks.
"So much EXP and so many free Attribute Points. Looks like I’ll get to feast properly this time."
He grinned fiercely.
Then all kinds of skill lights lit up across his body one after another.
Wrath of Flames!
Boom!
A sea of flames spread across the sky, instantly sweeping over one-quarter of the undead.
Voidblade Gale!
A sword wind more terrifying than death poured out in an instant. Every undead touched by the sword wind was crushed into powder.
Then came Flameserpent Ray, Inferno Ray...
All kinds of terrifying Magic Damage skills poured into the undead army like a tide.
The flames also possessed an extremely powerful burning effect. In an instant, they spread across countless undead.
John alone was slaughtering the undead army near the Undead Portal like a madman.
As for the undead that still left behind corpses after being killed by him, all of them were instantly devoured.
After being killed, those corpses no longer carried the Death Authority backlash, so there was no need to worry when devouring them.
[You have devoured a Lv.67 Snowman Zombie. Free Attribute Points +67!]
[You have devoured a Lv.60 Bone Knight. Free Attribute Points +60!]
[You have devoured...]
John was like a sharp sword, constantly tearing apart the surrounding undead assault.
Then, following the momentum, he pierced straight into the formation and forcibly ripped open a massive battle line.
Countless undead could not even withstand a single move from him before they were converted into EXP and Attribute Points.
"Excellent!"
John let out a long roar, and the skill radiance around him became even more dazzling.
He directly fused the power of Spatial Authority into his skills, erupting with even more terrifying might.
Even when the portal was summoned into action and sent out stronger undead creatures, the result for those creatures was the same.
The moment they stepped out, they were instantly killed.
John had never felt this satisfied before.
What could bring more joy than slaughtering undead while farming monsters?
Just as John was about to wipe out most of the undead army—
In the void outside the universe, a massive black shadow suddenly erupted into violent motion.
The God of the Undead stared at the light screen before him.
Within the light screen was none other than John, slaughtering everything in his path.
"Damn it. How is this person so strong?"
