With the support of countless resources, Qiu'er's strength had already approached that of a million-year Spirit Beast; ordinary monarchs were simply not worth mentioning in front of her.
The Ultimate Light had an extreme suppressive effect on the undead; just one wave of attack disrupted the formation of the undead army.
If it were other demons, facing such a powerful enemy, their morale would have long since collapsed.
However, these undead, under the enhancement of S煞渊's death aura, not only showed no fear but became even more frenzied.
The undead army surged forward one after another, and Qiu'er, conserving her strength, would deliver a fatal blow to the undead army whenever a certain scale of decaying corpses accumulated.
Repeating this, Qiu'er single-handedly broke through dozens of attack frenzies from the undead legion until she finally completely dispersed the undead army, and Lin Chen happily reaped a massive amount of Spirit Essences.
"Kill!!!"
On the battlefield, with such a great weapon, the mages behind naturally had high morale, and various magic spells fell as if at no cost.
The originally black battlefield instantly became colorful and dazzling.
Lin Chen always watched the show from Qiu'er's shoulder; just one Qiu'er changed the tide of the battle.
The undead army was still gathering, but because of Lin Chen's presence, the battle situation had become controllable.
Lin Chen immediately chose to act separately from Qiu'er; Qiu'er was responsible for containing the undead army, while Lin Chen took Zhu Meng and others to exterminate the Ghost-Husk Tyrant.
Although Lin Chen's strength was unfathomable in Zhu Meng's eyes, he chose to go with Lin Chen just in case, accompanied by the Hunter King and others.
Without the interference of the undead army, the Ghost-Husk Tyrant couldn't last a single round in Lin Chen's hands, a scene that left Zhu Meng and the others dumbfounded.
They didn't understand how Lin Chen did it; Lin Chen's strength had exceeded their comprehension.
As time continued to pass, news of a great victory had already come from the battlefield, and mages from various teams began to cheer loudly!
Only Lin Chen knew that this war was not over; the true disaster was yet to come.
Amidst the rain, Lin Chen and his group returned to the city; as soon as they entered, they were surrounded by countless mages.
"Lin Chen, the people of Ancient Capital will remember your contributions. Once this matter is completely settled, I will apply to the higher-ups to commend you!" Zhu Meng patted Lin Chen's shoulder and said.
Lin Chen's strength had exceeded his imagination; Lin Chen, by his own power alone, changed the entire battle situation!
Recalling that astonishing sword strike with which Lin Chen exterminated the Ghost-Husk Tyrant, Zhu Meng could not hide the excitement in his heart.
One must know that the Ghost-Husk Tyrant was a monarch-level undead; Lin Chen destroyed it with a single sword, showing the formidable strength of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled faintly and said directly, "I appreciate your kind intentions, but the disaster is not over yet; this disaster should not be so simple!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Do you know something, kid?"
"You can ask Mo Fan; I heard it from him. When they returned from Hua Village before, they encountered an undead attack during the day!" Lin Chen said.
During his free time, Lin Chen had already inquired about what happened later with Mo Fan; although he already knew the plot, he still had to put on a show.
"What did you say? How could the undead appear during the day?" Zhu Meng frowned tightly and said in surprise.
Lin Chen said expressionlessly, "Go ask Mo Fan!"
Believe it or not, there's no point in saying more; Lin Chen had already done his part.
With that, Lin Chen left without looking back, regardless of Zhu Meng's mood.
The Ancient Capital incident was too great a merit for Lin Chen to take all by himself; rather than that, it was better to share the credit so that Mo Fan and others could also get a piece of the pie.
Of course, Lin Chen was not afraid that Mo Fan would lose his spot in the competition; Mo Fan was now a genuine Advanced-Tier Mage.
Due to the butterfly effect brought by Lin Chen, although Mo Fan obtained the Blood Droplet, he did not consume it, so it was naturally impossible for his cultivation to regress as in the original work.
With the efficacy brought by his little loach, Mo Fan's promotion to Advanced-Tier Mage was effortless.
Seeing this, Zhu Meng's mouth twitched, and he immediately went to find Mo Fan.
After getting a confirmed answer from Mo Fan, his originally relaxed heart became tense again.
...
Dawn arrived; the dark clouds and Yushui made everything so gloomy, but no matter how gloomy, how obscure, the night had ended; it was now daytime, early morning, the time for this war to end...
Even the bells were echoing throughout the city; the residents living in the city were walking through the streets and alleys early for their livelihoods.
The towering city walls and the faint light would protect them and block the terrifying undead, but they did not know that outside the city walls, the undead had not left; they still stood there, their eyes still glowing with bloody, ferocious light.
The lengthy city wall stretched for tens of kilometers; the bells rang, and dawn arrived.
The guards who had been Spiritally tense all night finally breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they were safe and sound today...
However, when they turned back to gaze at this land that had returned to peace, they suddenly discovered that the nightmare had not ended; the undead trying to assault the city walls had not decreased, but instead had become even more numerous!!!
"How is this possible? The undead are really moving in broad daylight!!!" Councillor Zhu Meng rushed down abruptly, looking at the ferocious and violent undead army still present in the dawn light with a face full of shock!
Although he had prepared himself mentally, seeing the scene before him, he still found it unbelievable.
"Is heaven going to destroy us?" Military Commander Lu Xu landed on the city wall, his eyes bloodshot.
His right arm was gone, blood seeping through the simply bandaged white cloth.
Originally, he should have shown an ugly smile, but that smile was hidden beneath his gaunt cheekbones, unable to be displayed again.
Instead, there was the panic of an unfinished nightmare and disbelief!!!
Chief Instructor Fei Jiao, Hunter King Du Xiao, and Councillor Zhu Meng, three Super Mages, gazed at the dawn-lit earth, watching the undead who were unharmed in the dawn light, watching more and more undead defying common sense and crawling out of the ground, as if a feast of darkness and blood had just begun...
"Wail~!"
A death knell-like cry came from the direction of the north city corner.
The four men's gaze pierced through the continuous drizzle, and they suddenly discovered a skeletal creature with huge bone wings flying through the obscure sky, hugging the clouds...
Its figure drew closer and closer; its bone body was comparable to the main city tower standing on the north city wall.
When its bone wings fully spread, they could cover a large shadow like clouds!
When it looked down upon this tiny city wall, disdaining the tiny people in the city, fear spread like a plague from the city wall, instantly sweeping half of the North City!
