Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 571: Fleeting Red Light
“That’s right! Little Xi Wei, you’ve finally found the crucial point! Keke!”
Lewenstein’s voice rang out again, making Xi Wei speechless.
Is it appropriate for an angel like you to imitate the laughter of a demon lord every day?
“Little Xi Wei, let me out! I haven’t eaten bat meat for over a thousand years!! Keke, let me out to eat him!!”
Lewenstein’s incessant muttering was like a devil’s whisper.
Xi Wei directly threw the Holy Light Horn into his Space Ring.
Lewenstein: QAQ???
The communication in their minds was instantaneous.
At this moment, Cain had just finished attacking Ruo Yi and was in the recovery animation of an attack.
Endless bats were reforming his body.
A grating “squeak” filled the sky.
“You just won’t die, will you?” A cold smile curled Xi Wei’s lips.
With a flick of his wrist, he threw the King of Conquest Long Sword with all his might. It transformed into a swift golden light, precisely striking the small sapling.
With a “boom—” A loud explosion.
The ancestor of vampires’ body twitched as if struck by lightning, his limbs spasming like he was dancing at a plaza.
Whether he missed or the ancestral true form reacted and dodged at the last moment was unclear.
It wasn’t killed, but one of its wings was pierced by the King of Conquest Long Sword and pinned to the ground.
When I say pinned, it was only a bit of flesh and skin connected; most of it was already destroyed.
Xi Wei landed, his Knight Boots stepping precisely next to a green bat, less than half a centimeter away.
He almost stepped on it!
Cain’s true form trembled, and a foul-smelling liquid spurted from its abdomen.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t die?” Xi Wei sneered.
It was his first time seeing a bat urinate, and it was quite interesting.
“Squeak!” In his panic, Cain’s true form didn’t even have time to switch its vocal cords. It squeaked for a long time before finally emitting an unpleasant sound resembling a crow’s caw:
“Mighty Knight, I believe there must be some wonderful misunderstanding between us!”
“Is that so?!” Xi Wei pressed his Knight Boots against the head of Cain’s true form, chuckling, “Tell me, what misunderstanding is there between us?”
“Cough, cough, actually, we’re not enemies, you know? Mighty Knight, I was imprisoned by that old scoundrel, the Undead Emperor, for over a thousand years. I couldn’t go anywhere and could only live on pig’s blood in the castle!”
He seemed to recall a sad memory as he spoke, and two green tears actually welled up in Cain’s true form’s eyes.
“So we can actually unite!” he said, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend, don’t you think?”
“I think you’re absolutely right!” Xi Wei, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, swung his sword backhand and pierced the pouncing clone.
He smiled and said, “But I still really liked your unruly behavior just now!”
With that, his Knight Boots ignited with blazing Sacred Fire.
Xi Wei raised his foot and stomped on Cain’s true form’s head, repeatedly grinding it.
“Urggghhh—!!”
Endless black mist accompanied by shrill screams erupted from beneath his boots.
After all the black mist dissipated, the screams abruptly stopped. Xi Wei lifted his Knight Boots, and the mighty ancestor of vampires, Cain, was burned to ashes.
This time, he was thoroughly dead and wouldn’t rise again.
“Little Xi Wei, do you really think the ancestor of vampires is dead just like that? How could that be? Keke!”
The Holy Light Horn floated before his eyes, having somehow escaped from the Space Ring.
Xi Wei looked down at the spare Space Ring on his pinky finger and found that its Space Gemstone had been burned away.
Without a doubt, he knew it was the troublesome angel’s doing.
“Although I can’t see, I can feel Cain’s aura still exists. After all, he was once close to becoming a demigod. Even now, weakened to Legendary-grade, there’s still a trace of Divinity within him. However, he’s no longer in the Emerald Forest. I suspect he has a clone in a coffin in the Undead Desert, but his strength will likely drop to Champion Level when he revives.”
“Not dying even now, he’s as troublesome as a Lich.”
Xi Wei sighed and shook his head, but Liches rarely ascended to Legendary-grade.
If a Legendary Lich came along and buried their phylactery in some unbelievable location, that would be truly immortal.
“Speaking of which, how did you get out of the Space Ring?”
“Nothing else, just practice!”
Xi Wei: …
…
…
With the help of the Players, the Elves gradually began to regain the initiative and push forward.
However, the situation remained grim, as these Undead were merely enemies forced from the southern battlefield.
Now, more and more Undead were appearing from all directions.
Ghost Dragons, Vampires, and other Undead creatures spawned by the Burvik Great Mausoleum.
Helen, with the help of the Player Priests, recovered from her injuries, having paid a healing fee of 50 Gold Coins.
These reinforcements from the Wintery Empire were incredibly powerful, their only drawback being their excessive love for money, as if they had never seen money before. They charged for healing, for retrieving items, and for saving lives. Without payment, they wouldn’t pull you away from the Undead’s blades, though verbal promises were also accepted.
Fortunately, they were relatively fair. Whether it was a major or minor injury, the price was always 50 Gold Coins.
The Elves were not short on money. If spending money could help them survive better, they wouldn’t hesitate to sell everything they had.
What surprised Helen even more was the fighting spirit of these Humans.
In the Elves’ understanding, Human Sky Knights were usually stationed behind the battlefield.
Yet, today, she saw thousands of Sky Knights at the forefront, engaging the enemy.
They were shouting things like:
“Don’t hog the monsters, damn it! Hmph!”
“Didn’t we agree on one person per area? Are you looking for death, Natural Heart?”
“Oh my~ The Lionheart Guild sure talks big. You’d think this game belonged to you~”
…
The Elves didn’t understand these words, but they could sense a strong hint of animosity, and they saw that after some arguments, these Humans fought the Undead even more ferociously, as if they were scrambling for loot.
Indeed, they were scrambling like thieves!
Helen had just cut down a Abomination Beast when the Human who had saved her previously rushed over, scrambling frantically.
“Let me finish him!” he shouted, his voice making Helen’s ears ring.
He came fast and left fast.
While Helen was still stunned, he had already skillfully severed the Abomination’s head.
Then, he shouted something like “For Demacia’s Will!”
Followed by him spinning his greatsword and shield and running off to other places to collect more kills.
“Although they are strange, at least we Elves should survive…”
A wounded Elf leaned against a tree stump, a relieved smile on their lips.
“Yeah, I thought I was going to die today.”
Jeanette and her husband Vicky stood leaning on each other, their gazes meeting, sparking with love.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, a beam of red light flashed across the sky.
This was followed by a world-shattering explosion.
“Boom—!”
All the Elves turned in astonishment to where the red light had struck.
They saw that the roots of the World Tree had been blasted open, forming a huge pit, and endless destructive energy raged around it.
A few Players who had been bravely fighting also widened their eyes.
Because a large portion of the Players in the Team Channel suddenly went dark.
Ruo Yi Keke
500 Cao Hahahaha I’m not crazy hahahaha
