Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

In general, many Epic Bosses control abilities like Xiao Ruyi, and the seal that’s now broken could actually allow ghost creatures to escape.

But not a single one has come out, which clearly indicates that the entity inside already knows what the environment outside is like.

If only a few were to run out, they’d likely be greeted by the Flame Lords with a massive explosion and sent packing.

Having been sealed for thousands of years, none of them would want to be killed just as they managed to escape, so they’re all waiting for an opportunity.

Without any powerful ghosts making the first move, the weaker ones, they wouldn’t become the scapegoat even if they were to die.

They are creatures that have existed for thousands of years, each one cunning and extremely afraid of death.

If they weren’t afraid of dying, having been sealed for so long, they would have committed suicide long ago.

Waiting, the whole battlefield fell into a strange and eerie atmosphere.

As the Flame Hydra died, the Flame Lords in the Magma Lake seemed to have some sort of sense and thus, when attacking the death barrier constructed by the Wraith Mage army, they didn’t exert much effort and many retreated hundreds of meters below the surface of the Magma Lake.

Through his Spirit’s probing, Zi Liyuan could see that the number of Flame Lords in the Magma Lake was increasing, and they had loosely encircled the seal.

"It seems," he noted, "our strategy of using others to our own ends hasn’t been in vain."

These Flame Lords knew their place, but the reinforcements they summoned weren’t particularly strong.

More than five hundred Flame Lords had summoned fire elementals that, albeit BOSS templates, varied widely in strength.

There were elite, rare, and hero Bosses among them, with their power dropping from Fourth Order to Third Order.

It could only be said that previously, this area of the Magma Lake was dominated by the Flame Hydra, which had gathered all Lord Bosses around the seal. Those fire elementals that were not Lords were driven further down.

Now, perhaps sensing the threat from within the seal and with no Legendary Boss to oversee them, the Flame Lords directly called for their subordinates to aid them.

Watching silently, the orange fireball seal was five percent destroyed when a terrifying aura of death violently erupted from the seal’s breach.

The death aura had cleared the vicinity of ten meters outside the seal almost instantly.

The magma and fire elementals within that range were obliterated in an instant.

Under the command of Lu Gui, groups of ghost creatures abruptly appeared.

"Heehee... Finally, we’re out, heehee... You’re all going to die! Heehee..."

Amid the demonic laughter, a pair of scarlet ghost eyes stared directly at Zi Liyuan and his companions.

The next moment, these ghosts prepared to cross the magma flow and head straight to them.

Unfortunately, a huge column of magma burst forth into the sky, slamming right towards the location of the seal.

Amidst the thunderous impact, the miserable wails of a group of ghastly spirits were heard.

The Flame Lords proved very efficient with a powerful move that nearly wiped out half of the ghosts that had escaped in an instant.

The other half, fast to react, scattered in all directions using various life-saving techniques.

However, as a Legendary Boss, Lu Gui did not flee but moved instantaneously to Zi Liyuan’s side, conjuring four pitch-black katanas in hand and slashing towards him.

"Whelp, who are you trying to chop?"

Standing behind Zi Liyuan, Li Fengwen shouted reprimands, and they saw Lu Gui’s face drastically change as a vortex engulfed him and he was reduced to a cloud of black smoke, which was then sucked into a gray-black porcelain bottle in Li Fengwen’s hand.

Zhu Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura of Evil Qi surged from within. Placing a hand on the great axe, a yellow rune exploded with a special force.

That wasn’t enough, as dazzling lights began to flash one after another over his body. Within a few breaths, he was covered with as many as fifteen augmented BUFFs.

"Let me at him. Since he’s come out alone, it’s a perfect chance to cut him down!"

"Go for it, Old Zhu!"

Li Fengwen pointed the mouth of the bottle at Zhu Wu, generating a pulling force which instantly transported him inside.

After putting Zhu Wu into the Soul-Sealing Bottle, Li Fengwen didn’t stop there; instead, he began to continuously infuse Spiritual Power into the bottle, even taking out a purple talisman written in blood and promptly affixing it to the mouth of the bottle.

"Old Zhu, give it your all, okay? This is a Legendary Ghost-Suppressing Talisman, capable of weakening the properties of the ghost inside the bottle by 30%!"

To deal with this Slaughter Ghost, Li Fengwen had prepared the Ghost-Suppressing Talisman and Soul-Sealing Bottle, which were special treasures aimed specifically at ghosts. Combined, they could weaken the ghostly properties of the ghost king within by a total of 60%!

A Legendary BOSS weakened by 60% wasn’t much of a challenge for them, who possessed super legacies and were also greatly talented.

Just as Zi Liyuan was about to use his Spirit to probe the situation inside the Soul-Sealing Bottle, another change occurred at the seal.

Boundless Power of Death surged forth, and then, oddly enough, snowflakes began to appear amidst the magma!

Each snowflake, enveloped by some power, emitted an extreme cold, starting to cool down the surrounding Magma Lake.

Within the Power of Death, ghost creatures began to show their ferocious fangs and blood-red, bloodthirsty eyes, filled with madness, instantaneously fixing their gaze on Zi Liyuan.

Lord Zi: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻!

MMP! Is it because a ghost shows up that I become the target?

I’m just a weak and helpless Necromancer, also wielding the Power of Death. At best, I’m one of your own, right?

Is there really a need to target one of your own like this?

While cursing inwardly, Zi Liyuan’s hands were not idle, as he pulled out two Fourth Order scrolls, one in each hand, showing a rather gentle and gratifying smile to the ghosts in the Magma Lake.

It was as if he was saying, Lord Zi loves you, come and feel Lord Zi’s care!

Spiritual Power was infused, the scrolls were torn, and the holy radiance turned the fiery red volcanic cave into a hall of light.

"You little bastards! Lord Zi is letting you bask in the long-lost sunshine~!"

"Ahhhh..."

"Awooo..."

"Wuuu..."

At that moment, thousands of ghosts hidden within the Power of Death collectively convulsed, starting an intense dance. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Huge blood-red damage numbers floated above their heads, and the Power of Death that swathed them was evaporated and melted away layer by layer under the illumination of the Holy Light, causing the ghostly bodies to approach a state of rupture.

"Despicable!" "Shameless!" "Cheap thing!" "Traitor!"

...

In response to the insults from the ghosts, Lord Zi very magnanimously chose to forgive them and pulled out two more scrolls, infusing Spiritual Power before tearing them again.

Holy Light Illumination, bringing truth, goodness, and beauty, came to save these lost little spirits, helping them appreciate the brilliance of the Buddha and leading them into the blissful hell of the Western Paradise.

Four Fourth Order light-based scrolls completely wiped out a wave of ghosts that had emerged from the seal.

Person number two, currently beside him, had stars in his eyes, the blood-colored banner in his hands already quietly devouring the essence of the ghosts’ souls.

With the souls of over a thousand Fourth Order creatures absorbed at once, person number two only wished to exclaim, bring on more, ever more!

The power of the four light-based scrolls not only purified all the ghosts that had broken out but also cleansed the Power of Death that had eroded the seal of the orange fireball, leaving it spotless.

Experience new tales on empire

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell suddenly silent, and all eyes turned towards Lord Zi.

And where the breach in the seal occurred, no more Power of Death flowed forth; however, the snowflakes floating outside the seal grew in number and began to expand slowly outwards.

The entire area of the seal, spanning a spherical region ten meters in radius, began to turn into a void. The magma inside was repelled, leaving an empty space, and the scorching heat rapidly declined.

"Roar~!"

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from within the seal of the orange fireball as an even more turbulent wave of the Power of Death burst out.

Part of it swiftly wrapped around the seal of the orange fireball, while the rest spread in all directions, coordinated with the increasing snowflakes, to drive out the magma, enlarging the void in the spherical region.

Meanwhile, groups of ghost creatures, hidden within the Power of Death, dared no longer to fix their sights on Zi Liyuan.
