Chapter 596: Chapter 564: A Common Enemy, An Instant Agreement
Li Wei followed the directions provided by the Elemental Tower, flying toward the place where the Undead gathered.
According to the Elemental Tower’s intelligence, the Legendary Witch Lich had been hiding inside the Death Sky Curtain.
He had risked universal condemnation to unleash an Undead Calamity powerful enough to affect the entire continent.
Right now, who knew how many people wanted the Legendary Witch Lich dead.
He didn’t dare leave the confines of the Death Sky Curtain.
While hiding inside the Death Sky Curtain, not even Demigod Level Powerhouses could do anything to him.
The Death Sky Curtain could significantly weaken external attacks.
It could also resurrect Undead Creatures.
The Legendary Witch Lich was also an Undead Creature.
He could use the Rules of the Death Sky Curtain to resurrect himself.
Even if a Demigod Level Powerhouse were to brave the Death Sky Curtain and manage to kill the Legendary Witch Lich, he could simply be resurrected within it.
It was virtually unsolvable.
The only solution was to kill every last Undead, dispel the Death Sky Curtain, and only then kill the Legendary Witch Lich.
The alternative was to lure the Legendary Witch Lich out of the Death Sky Curtain’s range.
The Legendary Witch Lich was well aware of his situation and would never fall for such a ploy.
After flying for a good while, Li Wei saw the distant sky and earth enveloped in a thick, gray fog.
The gray fog radiated an ominous aura.
That was the Death Sky Curtain.
As Li Wei drew closer to the Death Sky Curtain,
the gray fog in the air churned, and hundreds of rotting vultures flew out to attack him.
Li Wei activated the power of the Golden Bone Ring to control the approaching vultures.
The Golden Bone Ring could control the Undead.
Controlling these vultures, which were below Tier Three, was effortless.
The rotting vultures flew ahead to clear a path, leading Li Wei into the depths of the Death Sky Curtain.
Simultaneously, Li Wei used the Golden Bone Ring to summon his Deadpools.
The Golden Bone Ring was bound to twelve Deadpools.
Li Wei could summon the Deadpools to serve him.
However, he had always been wary of the Elemental Tower monitoring him from the shadows.
That was why Li Wei had refrained from using the Golden Bone Ring’s power.
Now that he was inside the Death Sky Curtain, he no longer had to worry about such things.
The power of the Elemental Tower could not penetrate the Death Sky Curtain.
Li Wei could now use the power of the Golden Bone Ring without worry.
Before long, Li Wei received responses from several Deadpools.
He chose a familiar aura and summoned it to his side.
VMM!
A figure materialized in mid-air.
It gradually solidified and took form.
The newcomer was the Bone Flute Dancer, Savinia.
"Savinia, long time no see."
"Ah! Li Wei! You finally summoned me!"
"You only summoned Elizabeth last time, not me! I was so heartbroken!"
The moment Savinia appeared, she threw her arms around Li Wei’s neck, overwhelmed with excitement.
She still had the appearance of a perpetually young girl.
But her body was ice-cold.
Savinia only looked human. Her flesh and skin were nothing more than an outer coat, like clothing.
Her bones were her true body.
Li Wei pried Savinia off of him, who was clinging to his body like an octopus.
"Don’t cling to me. You’re all bones, it’s uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Savinia touched her chest.
She thought of what Elizabeth looked like.
Savinia’s eyes widened as she stared at Li Wei.
"So that’s it! You like them big-chested! Why didn’t you say so sooner? I’ll go get a new body right now."
Li Wei: "..."
’He did, in fact, prefer them a bit more... magnificent.’
’But now wasn’t the time to discuss it.’
’Besides, even if Savinia swapped to a more seductive body, it would still be cold.’
’What’s the difference between that and playing with a doll?’
’You can’t experience any real pleasure that way.’
"Enough," Li Wei said. "Take me to the Legendary Witch Lich."
Hearing that Li Wei wanted to find her master, Savinia immediately turned serious.
She settled onto the back of a rotting vulture and said, "Follow me."
"Master is at the Thousand-Year Blood Pool creating a Bone Dragon Legion."
Li Wei was surprised. "You moved the Thousand-Year Blood Pool out of the Ancient Battlefield?"
Savinia glanced back at Li Wei and said with a grin, "We didn’t move it. It came out on its own."
"The Thousand-Year Blood Pool is also one of the Deadpools Master created: the Sea of Dead Souls—Kleis."
"It’s just that Kleis is special. It’s only awake for very short periods and spends the vast majority of its time sleeping."
"To create the Bone Dragon Legion, Master has awakened the slumbering Kleis."
Li Wei was surprised by this.
He never expected the Thousand-Year Blood Pool to be such a unique Undead Creature.
"Sea of Dead Souls?"
He then thought of the Mountain Giant Beast Mephit.
’It seems the Legendary Witch Lich has a penchant for creating these special kinds of Undead Creatures,’ Li Wei realized.
’But he had to admit, these uniquely formed Undead Creatures were undeniably powerful.’
"Kleis."
Li Wei murmured.
Thinking back on the Deadpools he had encountered, the Sea of Dead Souls was the sixth one he now knew of.
Of the twelve Deadpools, he had yet to meet half of them.
The first Deadpool Li Wei met was Savinia.
Later, he encountered Minotaur Warrior Arno and Rock Demon Mephit, who had escaped from the Elemental Tower’s prison.
Minotaur Warrior Arno was known as the strongest Tier Six Undead.
He had once faced an ambush by four Holy Knights of the same tier and remained undefeated. He was even capable of fighting against a Priest from the Light Divine Sect using Divine Arts.
It was important to remember that Holy Knight and Priest Professionals inherently possessed a strong advantage against Undead Creatures.
Minotaur Warrior Arno had been fighting a completely uphill battle.
Even so, the combat prowess he demonstrated was still immense.
Rock Demon Mephit possessed the ability to control mountains.
In Storm City, he had once withstood the Fire Element Forbidden Curse "Celestial Fire Descent," tanking the spell so others could escape the city.
His combat record was nothing short of brilliant.
