Chapter 146 Undead Nightmare Curse

Nie Yan gradually approached Brocchi Fortress. As expected, these skeletons didn't actively attack the Sword of Divine Judgment players inside the fortress.

Groups of skeletons wandered back and forth.

A player team of about five or six hundred people approached the area and stopped to set up camp in an open space in the desert. They were there to explore, having killed many skeletons along the way, hoping to find the source of the undead.

However, they soon discovered that coming here was a huge mistake. Not long after they stopped, countless skeletons swarmed in from all directions, endless as the tide.

These skeletons were organized; they even knew how to divide, encircle, and defeat their enemies one by one.

After holding out for more than ten minutes, they were completely submerged in the sea of skeletons. The corpses of the players on the ground all turned into skeletons and crawled up from the ground.

The skeleton army became even more massive.

Nie Yan, lurking and wandering around the periphery, was secretly shocked by the scene. In his past life, these skeletons expanded like this, crazily. In his past life, the Undead Scourge almost swept the world, changing the entire landscape of the Green Land Empire and the Saturn Empire, reshuffling all guild forces.

If these skeletons were indeed created by the people of the Sword of Divine Judgment, then he had to be careful and nip this disaster in the bud.

Nie Yan wouldn't be afraid of ordinary players. The player capable of killing him in the game hadn't been born yet, but encountering that undead mage would be a little troublesome. He didn't know how strong a legendary NPC like that would be.

Nie Yan thought of Kars. If he could rescue the trapped paladins, he could make Kars his servant and wouldn't have to fear that undead mage.

But for now, this idea was still difficult to realize. To recruit other NPCs, a certain opportunity was needed.

Recalling the events of his past life, these undead needed at least ten days to reach a certain scale, or possibly a month or two if they were slow. After the fallen player resurrected the undead mage in his past life, he immediately began to slaughter villages and towns, expanding his power like mad, but also because his foundation was unstable, he was ultimately defeated on a large scale by the joint counterattack of the Knights of the Temple and the players. The Sword of Divine Judgment's ability to endure was clearly superior to that player in his past life, hiding so cautiously in Brocchi Fortress to develop.

Nie Yan sent a message to Guo Huai, telling him to send over the hundred-man thief team from Nirvana Guild. Their mission was to keep an eye on every movement in Brocchi Fortress. Once they made any move, Nirvana Guild would take action immediately. If the Undead Scourge began, the Crazy Battle Alliance would bear the brunt, and the defenses of the various fortresses would have to be strengthened.

After the group of skeletons killed the players, they slowly dispersed, returning to their wandering state.

A team of five skeletons walked towards the direction where Nie Yan was. Nie Yan paused for a moment; these skeletons were clearly stronger than the one he had just dealt with.

If he could clear out some of the skeletons, he could, to some extent, slow down the expansion of the undead.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan made a decision. He chanted a spell and summoned the Golden Earth Dragon. With the Golden Earth Dragon's current attack and defense, dealing with these skeletons was more than enough.

After the five skeletons discovered the Golden Earth Dragon, they made strange noises and swarmed towards the Golden Earth Dragon.

The Golden Earth Dragon let out a low dragon roar and spewed a dragon breath from its mouth. The scorching dragon breath bombarded the skeletons, and damage figures of over ten thousand immediately floated above their heads.

These skeletons surrounded and attacked the Golden Earth Dragon.

Counter Storm!

Counter Storm!

The skeletons triggered two Counter Storms in a row and were instantly torn to pieces, scattered into a pile of broken bones on the ground.

Kalenna, the Guardian Angel on Nie Yan's back, waved her staff, purifying the bones. Several white souls floated up and dissipated in the air.

Nie Yan could clearly feel that the Holy Spirit Mark on his left arm felt warm, as if something had been added.

The movement of the Golden Earth Dragon killing five skeletons attracted the attention of the skeletons in the distance. The skeletons swarmed over in groups, their numbers increasing, to about five or six hundred.

Nie Yan quickly activated Stealth. These skeletons had extremely high stamina. It was better to let the Golden Earth Dragon deal with them.

Under Nie Yan's control, the Golden Earth Dragon let out a dragon roar, and a fiery meteor fell from the sky, exploding with a bang in the midst of the skeletons. Rubble splashed, and flames burned fiercely.

These skeletons stubbornly withstood the bombardment, but their movement speed became very slow. After walking a distance in the flames, they shattered into pieces.

The Golden Earth Dragon's Meteor Fall instantly blasted away two or three hundred skeletons.

The remaining skeletons gathered around the Golden Earth Dragon, constantly attacking it.

The Golden Earth Dragon let out a low roar, and Counter Storms swept out, knocking down large swaths of skeletons.

These skeletons had a strong attack, and the Golden Earth Dragon's health dropped sharply. Kalenna, the Guardian Angel on Nie Yan's shoulder, constantly waved her staff, and beams of white light fell on the Golden Earth Dragon, restoring its health. She waved her staff again, placing a Holy Light Shield on the Golden Earth Dragon. The Golden Earth Dragon was enveloped in a faint light curtain, and the damage these skeletons dealt to the Golden Earth Dragon immediately dropped from the original thousands, or even thousands, to only a few hundred. The Guardian Angel Kalenna didn't stop there, and cast several powerful buff spells on the Golden Earth Dragon, and the Golden Earth Dragon's attack immediately skyrocketed.

Groups of skeletons were killed and then purified by the Guardian Angel Kalenna.

Nie Yan continued to lead the Golden Earth Dragon to other places to clear out skeletons.

The Sword of Divine Judgment shouldn't have resurrected many skeletons yet. If they knew that so many of these skeletons had been taken out by Nie Yan, he wondered if they would feel the pain.

Nie Yan discovered that each time he killed a skeleton, he gained much more Holy Power than when fighting other dark creatures, and the experience bar of the Holy Spirit Heart rapidly skyrocketed, quickly breaking through.

A crisp system notification sounded, and the Sword of Zennarde broke through another seal.

Sealed Sword of Zennarde: A Carando artifact.

After unlocking another seal, the attributes of the Sword of Zennarde had been greatly improved. The attack reached an astonishing two thousand, and it also gained a Rupture Slash skill, which dealt damage to all creatures in a line ahead. The effect was quite good.

The attributes of the Sword of Zennarde were becoming increasingly outrageous. It already had the attributes of a level 160 legendary weapon. Nie Yan was beginning to understand why the Sword of Zennarde was classified as a divine object.

A divine-level weapon was simply incomparable to a legendary weapon.

This was only unsealed to the third seal. There was a saying: comparison kills, common legendary items could really be thrown away when compared to divine objects.

The Kraul Vipers Fang in his left hand was far too inferior compared to the Sword of Zennarde.

Nie Yan thought for a moment. He really wanted to test the power of the Sword of Zennarde's level 5 Rupture Slash.

There weren't many powerful creatures nearby, except for the occasional elite-level skeleton. It wouldn't hurt to try.

Nie Yan told the Golden Earth Dragon to stop attacking and stand aside while he lured the skeletons. Compared to the Golden Earth Dragon, Nie Yan was clearly more popular with these skeletons. Soon, groups of skeletons gathered around him, their numbers increasing, following closely behind him.

He was followed by about three or four hundred skeletons. Several elite-level skeletons moved faster, running ahead, and behind them were all common skeletons.

Watching the skeletons get closer and closer, Nie Yan slowly adjusted his angle, running in circles. Under his guidance, the skeletons slowly formed a long, narrow line.

Nie Yan raised the Sword of Zennarde and slashed down. A blaze of scorching flames burned fiercely, transforming into ten giant sword shadows in the air, twenty yards long. The ten sword shadows converged together, finally condensing into one, and with a loud bang, the ground shook violently, creating a feeling of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

The skeletons in the line ahead screamed miserably, burning to ashes in the Sword of Zennarde's scorching flames. The flames dissipated, and a 3*20 yard deep pit formed on the ground in front of him, shocking to the eye.

At least a hundred skeletons were killed by Nie Yan's Rupture Slash, including several elite-level skeletons.

What a powerful strike! Even Nie Yan was amazed by the power of this sword.

A beam of white light shone on Nie Yan's body.

Leveled up!

Nie Yan looked at his level; he was now level 101.
