Chapter 1384: Velocity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Watching the countless undead creatures marching towards Dirty Blood unstoppably, Lin Yun was completely reassured.

Lords rarely participated in the wars of the undead. Wars were for the cannon fodder to eliminate each other. In the end, the two lords would show up and fight each other. Whoever swallowed the other’s soul fire would command all the cannon fodder and claim the territory.

The war of cannon fodder eliminating each other would linger for a long time. Emir didn’t have to kill all the undead lords. He only needed to make the war and consumption more intense.

What would a ghoul who was determined to claim Dirty Blood do after he went there? He would definitely sow more chaos in the place that was already chaotic enough.

Skeleton soldiers, ghouls, and zombies were low-level undead creatures. If they were lucky enough to distinguish themselves from their populous group, their disadvantage as a low-level undead creature would become an advantage.

In Noscent’s words, skeletons had no rights. The odds of a low-level ghoul becoming an extraordinary creature were only higher than those of a skeleton soldier becoming an extraordinary creature.

They might get killed anytime. It was possible a certain powerful creature would suddenly be in the mood to break their necks. It would be no different from killing some ants.

However, if they became extraordinary creatures, and wanted to occupy a territory, it would be easy for them to rally an army of the undead.

Emir didn’t seem to have rallied any army of the undead before. However, when he wanted to have an army, he summoned so many soldiers that they occupied Lin Yun’s field of view in only three days. The magnitude of the army was even increasing as they marched.

By conservative estimation, 100,000,000 undead creatures were marching to Dirty Blood under Emir’s command, and their number would double by the time they arrived.

That was the advantage of low-level undead creatures. It was very easy for them to summon their kin. They only needed to show their aura to attract countless ignorant kin to gather around them.

Low-level skeleton soldiers took up the greatest population, and ghouls had the biggest bodies.

It took quite a couple of days before Emir’s army finally disappeared from Lin Yun’s sight. Lin Yun put on a smile.

At first, he thought that Emir was so heartbreakingly dumb that he didn’t want to kill him. The guy mistook a human mage under disguise for a familiar friend…

At this moment, just let this pathetic ghoul launch a crazy war.

He didn’t have to kill those level-47 undead lords and occupy Dirty Blood; he only needed to haul more undead overlords into the mire of war. In a couple of years, it would be very easy to cut off the connection between the Leviathan Plane and the Plane of the Undead.

Emir seemed to be marching towards infinite Bloody Mary. He had completely vanished. He probably even forgot that his friend Buddy didn’t come with him…

Pa, pa, pa…

The sound of applause came from Lin Yun’s back. A vampire who was pale and enshrouded in a black cloak was floating with a brilliant smile on his face. He stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips.

“How marvelous. Human expert from Noscent, I can hear your heartbeat from 10 kilometers away. Your boiling blood and your vigor constantly tempt me.

“Such delicious food as yourself should be mine and mine alone. That pathetically stupid ghoul has finally left. Now, human expert from Noscent, are you not going to introduce yourself?

“Oh, right. My name is Fred, one of the vampires’ ancestors. I rank 12th. Please do remember that.”

Lin Yun turned around and glanced at Fred coldly.

“It’s only been a couple of days. You don’t seem to have the patience of an expert of the Plane of the Undead.”

Fred casually took out a bloody throne that was made of bones, sat on it, and looked at Lin Yun with a smile.

“Oh, human expert. No need to look around. I’ve killed every living thing within 100 kilometers. I’m going to enjoy you. You can quit struggling.

“No need to take out your Holy Blood Awls either. I know you have them. That Lilith must’ve seized the opportunity to trade with you. However, it’s surprising that none of your soul power is missing. But it’s even more perfect. That’s the most delicious food.”

After saying that, Fred suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared behind Lin Yun. He remained seated on the throne, and there were no spatial waves at all. He was simply too fast to be seen by the naked eye or detected by magic power.

Lin Yun took out his staff in one hand and a Holy Blood Awl in the other. But instantly, the Holy Blood Awl was gone, and Fred was playing with it on the throne.

“Poor lad, I’m sure you’ve been tricked by Lilith. This is not the Holy Blood Awl at all. Although it seems to contain disgusting power, it’s extremely vulnerable…”

Lin Yun nodded.

“Yes, I know, because I was the one who made it.”

Hardly had Lin Yun said that when Fred changed his expression. The Holy Blood Awl in his hand cracked, and the power of light burst out. A dazzling ball of light seemed to be exploding in the sky, obliterating Fred’s throne into nothingness. Fred screamed and appeared in midair.

Half of his face seemed to have been burnt in flames, and his skin was gone. His arms and hands were bloody too.

“Damn you, the power of light, the Light Scroll. Lilith must’ve given it to you. However, you’re too pathetic and naive. This disgusting thing does not work on me at all…”

Fred gritted his teeth. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he bared his fangs. A terrifying aura of darkness spread out. His destroyed skin was restored quickly. In only two seconds, all his wounds were healed. He seemed unscathed.

Lin Yun wasn’t surprised. He had known that it was impossible to kill Fred, or even heavily wound him, with the Holy Light Scroll. However, one feature of the scroll was that it could mark dark creatures, and make them as eye-catching as lighthouses in a dark night.

Fred, as one of the vampires’ ancestors, boasted unparalleled speed. He was so fast that even the experts on his level could not see him with the naked eye. That was another reason why Fred had been so bold. He could not be killed, and he was extremely fast, so nobody was willing to kill him even though he was a troublemaker.

If one failed to kill Fred, one would have to be prepared for the crazy retaliation from a man who had an infinitely long life.

Since the day he left the obsidian city, Lin Yun had confirmed that a vampire was tailing him. No vampires could’ve seen through his disguise except Fred. Even though most of his strength was suppressed by the obsidian, only Fred could’ve detected something.

Therefore, Lin Yun was not in a hurry to leave. He investigated and made preparations. To kill a level-47 vampire ancestor was certainly not an easy task.
