Blood tax

Chapter 177 The highest position under the demigod
Huge stitchers and hordes of undead shut like river locks, between their skeletal bosses and deadly foes.

Skeleton Commander Saka Deathbone quickly retreated, while tearing off the arm of a living corpse beside him, and buckled it on the broken bone in his left hand.

At the moment of flesh and bone contact, the grafted arm suddenly twitched violently like a boiling liquid, and dense black and red tentacles were born to wrap around the broken bone.In just an instant, the wounded surface of the broken bone began to melt with the carrion, as if it were a limb that had never been separated.

Saka moved his wrist and took off the shield behind him without hesitation to block forward.

In front of it, there were layers of living corpses blocking it, but it still took a defensive posture as if it was facing a big enemy.

Amid the roar of the tide of corpses, the rustling sound of electric arcs tearing from far to near, the dense crowd of corpses suddenly burned like moths rushing towards a bonfire.

The beam passed through their carrion and broken bones, piercing Saka's shield like a spear, tearing its newly resurrected left arm apart.

"Bah!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the golden spear pierced through the barrier of the living corpses, ignoring the defense of the shield, and destroyed half of the skeleton leader's body.

The living corpses swept by this storm made a series of crackling sounds, and together with the muddy black mud, they were plowed out a bloody path two meters wide and 50 meters long.Broken bones and carrion set off a rain of blood, which was scattered into the air by the air wave of this blow, and then fell like a torrential rain.

Amidst the rustling sound of the rain of blood, a tall and slender woman walked unhurriedly through the flying corpses.Around her were golden and silver lights and shadows, walking through the black and yellow rain that filled the sky, but they were not stained with any sewage.

"Ding - ding!"

Glittering gauntlets and boots made a suffocating clatter, making the heart tighten with every step.Flame-like red hair flew behind her, and her proud and beautiful eyes swept over the undead crawling on the ground.

Erza stepped on Saka's ribs.The bones as hard as steel creaked and wailed under the heels, as if they would be crushed in the next second.

"Where is your leader?" asked the young Light and Shadow Front, "Answer me, little bone."

Saka Deathbone struggled desperately, it pulled out a black scimitar, and stabbed vigorously towards the long leg that stepped on its ribs.

"Bah!"

With a crisp sound, Erza swiped the shield, and Saka's right arm and scimitar flew ten meters away.

"What a stubborn little bone." Miss Extraordinary bent down, her slender fingers gently slid across the jaw of the skeleton, and patted its chin like an intimate tease.Then, with a light pinch, she grabbed the skull and lifted it upwards.

With a crisp sound, Erza broke the solid spine of the undead creature, picked up the skull, threw it in her hand, turned around and asked:
"Horus, can you psychic?"

"No, we can only purify." The burly clergyman roared and walked towards her, slapping the sky with bones as he waved his warhammer along the way.

"What about you, Moreau?"

The extraordinary assassin in the shadows was grabbing the necromancer's head, kneeling on one knee on the pile of broken corpses: "No, even spellcasters won't easily search for the memory of the undead, it's very dangerous."

Miss Extraordinary shook her head dissatisfied: "I feel a powerful aura, but why hasn't it shown up yet? Does it have other means to pass through our defense line?"

……

Griffith watched the battle from the low hill.The three extraordinary men tore apart the line of the undead with astonishing power, and the officers who were commanding the battle a minute ago were decapitated in the blink of an eye and became the trophies of the extraordinary.

However, the raging tide of corpses showed no sign of retreating.They rolled up terrifying and monstrous waves of corpses, rushing from all directions.

The tide of corpses flooded the streets and houses, as long as there are no barriers, there is a smooth path for passage.They caught some refugees who were too late to escape, and instantly transformed them into pawns of the army.

Powerful psychic fluctuations are gathering, and the fourth extraordinary person on the wall of Revan, Professor Lordes, is about to lead the spellcasters to launch a second round of earth-shattering blows.

At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled.The whole world seemed to be shaking violently, even worse than when the tide of corpses came.

However, although the tide of corpses all over the countryside is menacing, it has not changed from before.

Where does this chime come from?

A chant-like sound emerges from the earth-cry, spreading horror to the world.

Before Griffith could understand all of this, the transcendents who were decimated in the tide of corpses ran back together.They skimmed past the ramparts that held the hold, and made a beeline for Revan's walls.

The backhand of the Deathrattle Order has launched!

The ground under the city wall cracked suddenly, and a huge, indescribably huge black figure broke through the ground.

First, there are a bunch of surging tentacles growing on the soft and greasy gray-black bag-like body... Except for the stretched and curled tentacles, it has no obvious features for identification.No, there was—yes, there was a lump on the front of the thing...that was for its brain, or nerve center, or whatever it was that governed this horrible, disgusting creature Containers prepared for diseased organs.

The lump was torn apart, and it was a mouthpart that opened like a petal.In the strange roar that went straight into the soul, it sprayed black and yellow spots covering the sky towards the sky.

Earth-burrowing monsters!

It suddenly appeared from the ground, and appeared directly in the open space next to the city wall, making a continuous strange sound like singing.

The moment they saw its terrifying torso, the guards on the city wall were in a mess, and everyone was screaming.

The raindrops of objects ejected from that mouthpart were living corpses large and small.They fell to the ground, some broke into pieces, and some immediately bounced up, swarming towards the city wall.

The earth burrower continuously spewed out living corpses like a fountain.However, its body was also rapidly shriveling and disintegrating, and finally fell to the ground.

In that cracked body, an astonishing and terrifying aura is slowly gushing out.

Refugees fleeing from all directions gathered behind the city walls.They thought they could finally rest for a while, but suddenly they heard a loud bang.

After the loud noise, a shambling and tattered figure walked up to the distant city wall.

In the dim light and mist, it opened its mouth at an unimaginable angle, and howled toward the city of the living:
"Ow—!"

Strange and terrifying roars echoed in the air, and when everyone cast their terrified gazes over, one after another skeletons and living corpses climbed up the city wall from its side and rushed down the city wall.

"Living corpses! They crossed the city wall!"

I don't know who yelled the first sound, and then, waves of horrified yells enveloped the city.The refugees who took refuge under the city wall screamed and ran around, and the soldiers and guards below the city were scattered by the crowd before they could gather together.

Beside and behind the living corpse, there are skeleton warriors in iron armor and warlocks wrapped in black mist.Undead creatures gushed out of the Earth Burrower's body like a tide, gathering and stacking under the city wall.

They stepped on one by one, even if the living corpses and skeletons at the bottom had been crushed to pieces, they remained indifferent.In a blink of an eye, this tide of corpses built a smooth road leading to the top of the city wall, and countless monsters rushed upwards stepping on them.

But even such stunning sights and floods of monsters aren't enough for everyone to experience a fraction of the horrors that follow.

At the core of the tide of corpses, in the deep mist, a tall and ferocious black figure stepped across the avenue of corpses and slowly climbed up the city wall.

When Griffith saw this monster, the fighting spirit and rationality surging in his heart collapsed like ice and snow meeting a raging fire.The shouts of soldiers and citizens near the city wall also stopped abruptly, as if everyone was blocked by an entity of fear and despair.

A black knight in solid armor rode a black horse bigger than a carriage, strolling up the city wall like a king inspecting his territory.

Its saddle is hung with a huge bone sword, and it exudes an icy breath that cannot be compared to the cold ice under the glacier for thousands of years.Mosquito-like black clouds gather around it and never disperse, and just casting one's sight can make people feel the breath of plague.

Everyone, no matter whether they have received mystic education or not, felt severe dizziness at this moment, and at the same time, they also knew an existence, a knowledge and a reality.

The highest Extraordinary under the demigod, the Death Knight, came personally.

A group of city defense troops trying to fight back and block the breach in the city wall saw this monster suddenly appearing in front of them, and suddenly fell into an irreparable madness.They lost all will to fight, screaming and jumping off the walls, or standing there stiffly with useless spears.

The death knight turned a blind eye to the soldiers, hands wrapped in black fog and iron armor raised towards one end of the city wall.

Its target, its prey, is the extraordinary wizard Lordes who stands alone behind the battle line and can bring large-scale damage and efficient assistance.

Although the supernatural beings tore the core of the undead creature and killed the officer.But all of this is in the calculation of the death knight.Its target has been locked on the powerful spellcaster from the beginning.

"You have nowhere to escape, wizard. Your life ends here," the death knight galloped forward, with the breath of annihilation lingering around the horse's hooves, "Die."

Terrifying green light swirled on its icy gauntlets, and a mass between mud and flames was violently surging.

The two low-level spellcasters beside Lordes screamed and jumped off the city wall.The mass of evil green matter whizzed out and flew towards Lordes.

An earth-shattering impact happened, and the extraordinary wizard was hit head-on.At that moment, even Griffith could feel the cry of countless broken souls.The three transcendents who rushed towards the city wall were stunned.

Amidst the scattered black smoke and green mist, bursts of crystal light suddenly flashed.

Then, strong winds swept down the smoke and scattered living corpses from the city wall.At the core of the blast, Professor Lordes is being surrounded by particle-like light.In front of him is a seven-layer seven-color magic shield that flashes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple one after another, blocking the evil's full blow without a hair.

The death knight raised his bone sword and pointed, and countless living corpses swarmed up like a tide.

Lordes stared indifferently at the monster that was close at hand, and the magic shields in front of him then merged with each other, forming a blazing solid light shield to envelop him.

After a while, the voyeur in the light had difficulty recognizing the human form.

He was surrounded by blazing light, and became a ball of lightning suspended in mid-air, making a majestic hum, approaching the death knight.He waved his hands, burning the undead creatures wherever he went like ants, and annihilated them all.

The extraordinary sorcerer wrapped in light has transformed into something other than human beings. He doesn't chant, dodges, or retreats. He goes straight to the death knight and swings his lightning whip at it.

The death knight instigated the black horse and rushed forward with his sword raised.

Two terrifying creatures collided on the city wall, making a deafening roar.

The death knight split the arc of lightning with a sword, and penetrated into it with evil energy.Lordes grabbed its bone sword and slashed a bolt of lightning down its arm.

Horrible creatures are fighting each other, electric currents and dead energy are stirring.They wrestled on the city wall, refusing to give in to each other.The fierce battle tore down stone walls, set off flying sand and rocks, and ignited living corpses and towers into flaming torches.Even the death knight was enveloped in flames, making crackling noises.

Lordes, who was like ball lightning, echoed inhumanly and horribly. He raised his hands towards the sky, and the dense grid immediately enveloped the sky.

"Annihilation, as you wish!"
