Chapter 333: The Lingering Will of the Dead

Kant’s question did not incite fear in the pope.

Perhaps he had no fear to begin with.

Standing quietly at the top of the temple, the pope only had indifference in his eyes. There was no sadness, no joy, and no fear, he only calmly replied, “The lowly humans stole the authority of the gods. They speak of their own power, slander the glory of the gods, and blaspheme the glory of the gods. Yet, they enjoy the peace and tranquility brought by the gods.”

“Hehe.” Kant chuckled. He lifted his head and looked at the old pope. With an indifferent gaze, he pulled out half of the king’s sword from his waist. “I can give you one more chance to reorganize your words.”

“Lowly and disgusting human noble.”

The pope spoke indifferently, propping up his scepter. “I should have disappeared into the long river of history, but because of the power of my God, I have remained eternally. Now is the time to protect the glory of my God. I will not back down.”

“Good, good, good.” Kant nodded lightly. “Well said.”

A Brilliant Golden Light appeared.

The extraordinary power in his body had already been activated.

Holding the sword of the king tightly, Kant walked towards the steps of the temple. Behind him, Bandake and the Lion Knights of Sarion also followed him. Their hands were already on the hilt of their swords, ready to pull out their weapons at any time.

“I am ready to die.”

The pope did not move.

He looked at Kant, who was slowly walking over, and hatred appeared in his eyes. “You humans who have betrayed the glory of the gods will eventually die. At that time, you will be more desperate than me.”

“Is that so?” Kant had a faint smile on his face. “Something is not right.”

“I’m ready to sacrifice myself.”

The Pope had a determined look on his face. “Come on.”

“Wait, old man.”

Kant smiled helplessly. “Why do you look like an old comrade who died heroically while I’m the executioner of the villain’s regime? Do you think that’s reasonable?”

But the old pope still held his scepter and looked at Kant quietly.

He did not understand this kind of joke.

And Kant did not need him to understand it.

Finally arriving in front of this spirit body that did not have the slightest ability to resist, Kant directly stabbed the king’s sword into the old pope’s abdomen and said calmly, “Compared to your daughter, you’re easier to killr.”

“I curse you…” the Pope’s eyes finally fluctuated

However, he couldn’t even finish his sentence.

Spiritual bodies did not have the slightest ability to fight. Their bodies, which were made up of souls and ordinary energy, had almost received the violent King’s power from the King’s sword. It was a type of scorching positive energy that instantly ignited the pope’s spiritual body.

The Golden Flames instantly burned the pope’s spiritual body to ashes.

“It’s settled.”

Kant put his sword back into its sheath and asked calmly, “What are you talking about?”

Kant was the one who had the upper hand now. He was the overlord of this situation. Even after all he said and cursed, in fact, to Kant, it was just a matter of one sword strike.

Looking at the white dots of light that were dissipating in the sky, Kant calmly commented, “You think too highly of yourself.”

He had nothing to say to the charlatans and religious madmen.

“Wu Wu Wu –”

Just as the old pope’s spiritual body was directly destroyed, a whimper suddenly appeared in the temple.

A gentle breeze appeared in the void.

It came from the temple hall.

It rushed out from the corridor, mixed with countless tiny blue specks of light, and directly pounced on the scattered spiritual bodies in the sky. Like insects surrounded by ants, it coiled up layer by layer.

There was also that seemingly venomous whimper, as well as deep hatred.

“The remnant obsessions of the dead.”

Bandake said, “Feeling the death of that old fellow, all of them surged out. Even if their obsessions would completely disappear, they would still fight to the death with the remnant light spots of that old fellow.”

“How cruel.” The Lion Knights shook their heads. Looking at the scattered light spots in the sky, they only felt that they were like beautiful fireworks.

“When have they ever been innocent? How can that pope be considered a good person?”

After saying that, Kant did not comment much on this. Instead, he waved his hand and said, “Gather your emotions and unload the solar disk at the top of the temple. It’s time for us to leave!”

“Yes!”

The Lion Knights immediately responded.

The other four lion knights who had not yet carried the solar disk jumped onto the top of the temple nimbly. Their physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary knights. As extraordinary knights, the terrain could not restrict their movements at all.

They swiftly arrived at the top of the temple and deftly unloaded the sun disk.

This was what Kant needed the most.

It was settled smoothly.

Kant nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

They left the way they came. This exploration was very successful. Seven similar disks were enough to level up the sun disk in Aaron City, and the one in Drondheim Castle could cover an area of 50,000 square meters.

The main body of the castle had been declared safe.

And the soldiers in the main body of the castle could also guard the local area safely.

Even if the death shroud of the undead appeared, the endless skeletons and zombies would pounce on them. When they faced the towering city walls, they would still die on the spot. They couldn’t do anything to Kant and the others at all!

The undead didn’t have so-called siege weapons. In fact, they were the incarnations of obsession and remnant souls.

They were called the undead because of their uniqueness.

With the strength of the human race, without a strategic buff like the death canopy to the undead, even an ordinary peasant or armed militia would be able to deal with a large number of low-level skeletons and zombies.

After all, the undead only had bones or rotten flesh left.

Compared to the muscles of the human race, which could burst out in strength at any time, the individual zombies were nothing to worry about.

The only thing to be afraid of.

Was the undead’s talent.

  1. No morale: no increase in morale will affect combat strength, and no soldiers will collapse or escape due to the dire situation on the battlefield.
  2. No consumption: no physical or logistical consumption, and long-term marching does not require supplies at all.
  3. No casualties: the so-called casualties are only a concept to the undead. Wherever there are corpses, there will be countless undead armies.

An excellent race that nurtured their skills through battle.

If one wanted to deal with the undead, in any world or movie, they would be eliminated before they could grow and develop.

Once they took shape, the endless undead armies would take shape, even forming the most terrifying undead calamity in the legends. It would turn the entire world into a world of the undead, and the civilizations and countries would be in extreme danger.

That was a terrifying phenomenon that could destroy any civilization!

Kant used to be afraid of this.

Because the curtain of death that spread from the depths of the Nahrin Desert was almost endless.

Perhaps it was the undead calamity!

But now, with a method that he could finally restrain, he was at ease.

At the very least, if the sun disc couldn’t hold on any longer, there was still the spring water from the spring of nature given by the treant in the lord of the rings. Drinking it would allow one to possess the divine power of nature and gain the ability to resist the curtain of death.

Most importantly, if Kant’s divine domain was released at full force, it could also protect a radius of 100 meters around him.

If he couldn’t hold on, he would be able to kill his way out!

Of course.

This was the worst outcome.

If one were to look at it optimistically, the sun disk and Royal Knights that Kant currently possessed were enough to resist the undead.

At the very least, back in the curtain of death, the Royal Knights and the King’s sword at Kant’s waist were able to resist the erosion of the curtain of death. Although it still made them feel a little overwhelmed, it was actually because they had thought too much into it.

“Perhaps I have thought too deeply.”

Kant’s brows relaxed slightly.

He brought the Lion Knights back to the gap of the city wall, where the desert bandits were waiting in boredom.

When they saw Kant and the others come out, they hurriedly came over and bowed. At the same time, they transferred all the sun disks that the Lion Knights carried onto their backs. This was a conscious attitude. In any case, they had come here to do chores.

On the square outside the city wall, a few bonfires had been lit, and the rotten demon corpses had been thrown in and burned to ashes.

The underground city was still peaceful.

The fluorescent mushrooms and the shimmering moss released a light that was as gentle as the moonlight.

The warhorse gently used their hooves to pull, and they were very curious about the glowing plants that grew out of the cracks in the stone.

Plants that could not be seen in the surface world.

However, the taste was ordinary and did not suit the taste of the warhorse. After chewing for a while, they spat it out. Each and every one of them shook their heads and hissed softly, as if they were complaining about the disgusting taste of these glowing plants.

“Everyone, get ready!”

Kant turned over and mounted his warhorse.

He shook the reins and looked at the underground city that was still shrouded by the dim yellow light behind him. He said in a deep voice, “We should go back!”

Behind him, the knights and cavalry had already gotten on their horses.

They quickly checked and packed their luggage. They quietly rode their horses and stood behind Kant.

The rewards from coming to the underground city this time could not be said to be small. Just Bandake alone had received an excellent promotion. If one were to look at the troop class, he could be considered a level 8 soldier. However, his individual attributes were still slightly inferior.

However, if he went all out, a 1000% increase in attributes was enough to be called a humanoid beast.

Kant was somewhat helpless about this.

Although the original Bandake was romantic, he definitely could not be considered evil.

Moreover, he had a love for the commoners. He would rather not have a noble identity and take up the position of a Civil Protection Officer, which was a more symbolic position. He could be considered as a general who truly loved the commoners, pitied the commoners, and acknowledged the commoners.

He was an outstanding person in the Justice Camp.

However, he was such an upright person, yet he ended up becoming an underworld apostle. Kant could not help but sigh.

But it did not matter.

In the end, he still chose to be loyal to him.

He shook the reins and lightly knocked on the warhorse beneath him. Kant spurred the horse forward to the ancient passage and officially led the team to leave.

According to the original plan, he still planned to head to the eastern county territory. It was through the other ancient passage in the dungeon that went from north to south. He would enter the Resniston River and investigate the current situation of the Dukedom of Leo.

After all, he had been away for too long. Kant had already lost his ability to control the intelligence of this Dukedom.

“I still need to wait.”

Kant suppressed this plan in his heart.

The most important thing at the moment was, of course, to get rid of the undead’s death curtain so that he would be in an invincible position!
