Vlad is a kobold warlock with amazing insight, but even so, he did not notice that the lizard man who had been beside him was actually an undead!
No wonder the Lizardmen have persisted until now even though they were severely injured in every battle just now.
The root cause is...
The other party is an undead!
In this undead state, its vitality increases dramatically. As long as its head is not destroyed, even if half of it is cut off, it can still fight with its opponent.
If you think about it carefully, even in the arena, the Lizardmen have killed many enemies, and all of this may be the beginning of a conspiracy.
The battlefield did not fall into a stalemate due to the death of the two golden warriors. Instead, the Undead Legion seized the opportunity and began to counterattack. The Death Knight had no so-called mercy!
There were corpses and blood all along the way.
Those who even tried to resist were ruthlessly killed, and soon there were nearly a hundred corpses. The Death Knight had already approached the center of the demon army. The charge of the Death Knight attracted the attention of some demons. However, in front of the golden-level Death Knight, those demons were as fragile as chickens. With just a charge, they were chopped into pieces.
Vlad, who witnessed all this, did not choose to accept his fate. He gritted his teeth and made some complicated gestures with his hands. After a moment, a bloodthirsty halo enveloped the surrounding demons!
—Bloodthirsty aura!
The demons shrouded in the halo had red eyes and bloodthirsty expressions on their faces. At this time, they had obviously been forced into a desperate situation. Only by fighting to the death could they have a chance of turning defeat into victory!
And just when the devil was ready to fight to the death.
Suddenly, a dragon roar broke through the clouds, and a moment later, a gorgeous and ferocious figure as if made of platinum suddenly descended on the center of the battlefield.
Bone dragon!
It turned out to be a bone dragon!
The giant dragon under the blood curtain, illuminated by the setting sun, looked unreal, as if it came out of the legendary underworld, without a trace of dirt.
The giant dragon raised its neck, and star-like dragon breath appeared in the air, sprinkling towards the surrounding demons. Those low-level demons that were extremely violent before seemed to have encountered some nemesis, and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. Especially the demons nearby, they turned directly into a pool of blood.
Vlad's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out, and the cold murderous intent was like a quagmire, dragging the entire battlefield into despair!
The opponent's strength was beyond Vlad's expectations. There was actually such a complete bone dragon in this undead army!
Endless despair filled his mind. At this critical moment of life and death, Vlad's will was stuck in the quagmire and he didn't know how to extricate himself!
Just when Vlad was at a loss, he suddenly felt a chill.
Vlad looked forward, and in front of him, the huge figure of the Death Knight was as nimble as a fish in the water, sliding out in an incredible arc and coming out from the most tricky angle.
The Death Knight's figure was like a tsunami, wantonly destroying the battlefield. His indiscriminate attacks instantly knocked away the demons that stood in his way and didn't even have time to react.
In an instant, the demon's chest was completely caved in, blood and flesh were splattered, and his body was severely deformed. It seemed that he had no chance of survival.
The Death Knight raised his spear.
With a flash of cold light, it pierced through Vlad's head in almost half a second!
“Damn it!”
Vlad roared, and his scarlet pupils shrank into a thin line in an instant. He tried to avoid the Death Knight's attack, but it was too late.
“Puff!”
The Death Knight's spear pierced Vlad's shoulder, and a stream of smelly blood spurted out, completely cutting off Vlad's possibility of escape!
… … … … …
The sky was like blood, as if the entire sky was split in half by an unparalleled powerful being. The dripping blood filled the sky, and it was so solemn that it made people's hearts palpitate.
The entire city was dyed red with blood, and even the walls were filled with a strong stench. Plasma, corpses, and bones mixed together, like a real pool of blood, causing any living creature to feel extremely panicked.
More than half of the Skeleton Legion was lost, and even the surviving skeletons were badly broken. However, as indestructible cockroaches, these skeleton warriors did not choose to sit and wait for death, but relied on the broken bones on the ground to repair themselves.
The Death Knight stood on the ground, his armor in tatters, and even the Nightmare was torn into pieces. The demon's counterattack was so terrifying that it almost destroyed the Death Knight completely!
Vlad is dead.
This clever dog-headed man died from the Death Knight's spear, with resentment written all over his pupils. What made him regretful was that the strong man hiding in the dark never showed up from the beginning to the end.
In the situation just now, Vlad did not use many of his backup plans. After all, the battle happened too suddenly. Whether it was the betrayal of the Skeleton Legion or the Lizardmen, it was like a blow to the head, leaving him in a state of confusion!
“Fresh soul!”
"This power is enough for me to complete my final transformation!"
A strange sound echoed in the city. A coffin slowly rose from the ground. Then a seemingly thin figure appeared in front of all the undead. There was no expression on its pale and shriveled skin. In its hand, it held a scepter that looked like white jade!
Saruman!
The lich Saruman!
Since devouring Naraku's clone, Saruman has entered a long period of seclusion, and the destruction of this city was also planned by Saruman.
For Saruman, the city's greatest defensive force is the golden warriors who participated in the death match. Therefore, several months ago, it created an undead lizardman and infiltrated the city in order to weaken the city's power.
Saruman's plan was a success!
Under the influence of the Lizardmen, almost all the contestants were wiped out. After all, as long as the head of an immortal undead was not completely blown to pieces, they would have a chance to continue fighting.
All the demons in an entire city were slaughtered. Those undead souls hated life, and without Saruman's order to stop, all the demons fell in a pool of blood.
Looking at the bloody scene around him, Saruman showed a cruel smile on his face for the first time!
The ceremony was already more than half completed, which meant that the legendary status it had longed for was waving to it!
Even though Naraku's clone lost his divinity, causing his power to be weakened by several percent, it is worth mentioning that the other party still has a lot of knowledge that Saruman needs in his mind!
In that knowledge, Saruman found a shortcut to legend!
Soul transformation!
This requires enough souls, and in addition, the quality requirements are extremely high!
And this city with the death contest has undoubtedly become the key to Saruman's promotion. After several months of planning, it has been fully implemented today. These souls have undoubtedly become the power that Saruman needs to move to a higher level!
In addition, the mysterious potion belonging to the victor also became Saruman's gain. With the addition of these potions, his chance of becoming a legend will exceed 80%!
Saruman was not a slow person. If possible, he wanted to complete the transformation as quickly as possible. At this moment, he looked straight at the pile of demon corpses in front of him. A scarlet light flashed in his eyes. Then, he raised the bone scepter, and a force full of decay shook the surroundings.
Gray shadows emerged on the demons. These were souls, the souls of the demons!
These souls seemed to retain some of their will from their previous lives. After they appeared, they immediately showed a roaring expression to Saruman. However, just like a pantomime, even if they roared harder, there was no sound at all. They were born very early and could not be considered ghosts at all, so naturally they could not display the ability of the death howl!
—Soul-stealing!
Saruman didn't need to hesitate at all at this time, he made a decision quickly!
Huge amounts of souls gathered together, and the gray soul power began to spin violently like a tornado. After more than ten minutes, a strange brown crystal emerged!
The spell worked!
Saruman perfectly gathered the souls of a city into the soul crystal in front of him, which was transformed by the purest energy. At this moment, Saruman opened his mouth and a huge suction force appeared, swallowing the soul crystal and the potion that only the winner was qualified to use into his stomach.
The terrifying power slowly grew within Saruman's body.
Saruman's figure trembled on the spot.
Then its expression returned to clarity, but its eyes became extremely cold, because a spiritual force had just collided with its will!
Strong will!
There were even the souls of more than a dozen golden warriors mixed in among the countless demons. If they had not just died and their souls were still very chaotic, Saruman would not have dared to swallow them into his body so rashly!
However, Saruman has been waiting for this day for a long time. In his brain there are some memories and experiences belonging to Naraku, an evil god in charge of the priesthood of death, who has supreme power over souls and dead creatures!
"My soul is invulnerable!"
Saruman stared ahead with murderous eyes. He liked this feeling. Those poor souls were roaring and howling in his body, but it was meaningless. They would only become his food, and the final outcome would be to be swallowed!
"Begin the transformation!"
Saruman has completed all the preparations. At this time, his expression fell into a state of nothingness. He wanted to focus all his attention on the transformation of the soul. At this time, he was only one step away from the legendary level!
