Looking at the Elf in front of me, I instantly understood why the Highest Priestess of Spider Queen Rose would die from an accidental injury and why Harloys didn't appear even though she had already reached Vance.
Looks like she had her eyes on Kajah's physical body the moment she arrived and there is a 99% chance that Kajah's so-called accidental death was caused by her own hands.
"Aiyo, you aren't even greeting your teacher?"
Yes, from a certain perspective, the one in front of me is my Necromancy and Ice Magic teacher. Of course, she had a motive for imparting them to me from the very start.
The Senators are actually the warlords of the Xiluo Empire. The Royal Faction tried their best to snatch the 4th seat for Gria but no one thinks that the 3rd Senator is just a step away from the 4th Senator.
The 2nd Senator, Feyman is an extremely ancient Lich King with countless Liches under him. The Dark Night Council formed by the Liches under him is the number one power in the Xiluo Empire. In the 'history', he was the one who led the Undead Wizard Alliance to open the door to the Plane of Death, triggering the Undead Calamity that engulfed the entire continent.
The 1st Senator, Ancient Bone Dragon Gricasio, was once the mount and most capable subordinate of the God of Holy Light. Now, his strength is incalculable because he is too lazy to make a move and no one is able to force him to make a move. However, looking at how Feyman is obediently the 2nd Senator, he is definitely able to suppress the other Senators.
The 3rd Senator's situation is the most unique. She does have a group of Banshees under her and she is also known as the Queen of Banshees. However, in reality, she doesn't care about anything and isn't interested in power. Her only goal is revenge.
Yes, revenge, the same as me.
Due to the long history, how the Ancient Elf Empire, which spanned across the entire continent, was destroyed, if one isn't a scholar who specializes in Ancient Elf History, no one would know. However, looking at the destruction of the Elf Gods and the rise of the God of Order, it is probably related to the Order Gods.
Thus, back then, she and I, who was bent on taking revenge on the Church of Holy Light, hit it off well. Not only did she impart a considerable amount of magical knowledge to me, she was also one of the founders of the Yongye Army. At the very least, without her as a veteran to pull the strings, the "inexperienced" me back then might not have been able to gather so many thousand-year-old monsters, nor might I have been able to suppress so many arrogant Undead Lords.
The first three Senators back then only had a cooperative relationship with me (there were even four unlucky fellows who died in a civil war). If it wasn't for my System's advantage, which allowed me to successfully break through and become the only SemiGod Undead Emperor in recent times, I would probably be nothing more than a puppet Emperor.
High-tier Undead are all stubborn lifeforms driven by obsession. My obsession is to change fate while the only wish of the Harloys before me is to exact vengeance on the Order Gods.
A hundred years ago, she almost achieved this goal. If the living were to be destroyed and the Empire of the Undead were to be built, the cycle of reincarnation in the world of Aichy would be broken. Naturally, it would be the best vengeance on the Order Gods. Perhaps, the Guardian Gods of a few races might even fall because of this. Back then, she nagged beside me all day about how to destroy the Churches of the Gods, how to defile the Holy Church, how to turn the living into the Undead, how to make the true Gods lose their faith …
Alright, I got to know from the Death God Aillé that if I were to really do that, the Gods would not hesitate to pay any price to descend to the mortal world and have a decisive battle with me. There is a 100% chance that I would be reduced to ashes and my soul would be destroyed.
Perhaps, the one who couldn't accept the destruction of the Yongye Army the most is her. After all, in her eyes, this is the closest she has been to success in thousands of years.
I don't think that she is able to change. If she could change, she would have obediently ascended to the heavens and reincarnated.
I don't think that I would be able to hide my dirty tricks from her. This time, since she found out about me, then there are only 2 possibilities. Either she wants to settle the score with me or she wants to force me to rebel with her … Based on my understanding of her, the 9 cities would use the absolute difference in their strength to beat me half to death. Then, they would control me and use my name to reorganize the Xiluo Empire.
I wouldn't accept either of these two possibilities.
Thus, the first reaction I had when I saw her wasn't that of an old friend meeting to drink tea and chat, but …
"Adam, come out and beat me up. This matter is too troublesome!!"
Alright, I did shout it out.
I have never felt so fortunate before. A few days ago, I realized that the opponent was too strong and my subordinates were lacking in strength. Thus, I sought help from Liu Huang Mountain City and sent Adam over to act as my trump card. I am even more fortunate that he only arrived this morning, so it is impossible for the information to be leaked.
Hearing my shout, Harloys, who was smiling at me, suddenly freezes. Then, she disappears without a trace. A black iron longsword silently appears from behind her back. If she had been a moment slower, she would have been pierced by the sword.
Adam, who is my secret weapon, tore off his cloak. Facing the escaping Queen of Banshees, his usually frivolous face shows a rare hint of seriousness. After closing his eyes and thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly points the tip of his sword downwards and lightly knocks it against the ground.
"Kacha."
The entire space seems to have turned into a spider web of broken glass. The space is sliced by the will of an expert and faintly, spatial cracks appear. In the next second, a scream of agony resounds from the corridor.
"Ah!! Damn it! "
Without any hesitation, with a 'boom', Adam passes through the wall and slashes at the source of the sound.
"Incantation of Law: Judgement! Incantation of Law: Restrict Personal Freedom! "
As expected, Harloys, who had just committed the crime of murder, was instantly enveloped by a red light. Right after that, the spell that restricted Harloys took effect.
Although I could only maintain my spell for a short instant due to the great difference in power level between us, that one instant was enough … I knew that there was someone who wouldn't waste the opportunity that I created.
"Ahhhh!"
There was a flash of the sword, and the Dark Elf's right arm was torn to pieces. However, the sword was blocked by the Dark Elf's steel-like body.
"Ahhhhhh!!"
The screams continued, but it had already turned into a banshee's attack.
Waves of dark magic spread in all directions. Banshee's Howl, known as the most terrifying instant death spell, Death's Shriek, did not have any effect.
I am already a dead man. Why would the Undying Adam fear the Queen of Banshees' Call of Death?
He charged forward directly amidst the screams of negative energy, closing his eyes and chanting a hymn as if his opponent was nothing.
"In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. My beloved has passed away, only I exist. Flowers bloom and bloom, year after year, I hope to die of old age amidst wine and flowers, reminiscing about the past in a drunken state, Flowing Time Slash."
From me, he obtained the ancient philosophy from the East. From Marguerite, he obtained the local philosophy stories and the mysteries of Time and Space. After a hundred years of accumulation, Adam's martial arts had long become one with his life, rising to a philosophy of his own existence. Perhaps, this was the reason why he managed to become a SemiGod with a mortal's physical body and talent.
At this moment, when even a SemiGod wanted to chant a hymn to hypnotize himself, that Flowing Time Slash that lamented the passing of time seemed slow, but it broke through the boundaries of Time and Space. It seemed slow but was actually fast. No, speed was meaningless against this sword.
Just like how no one is able to escape from the aging of time, under this sword, everyone was equal, unable to escape. Under this dreamy sword, one would instinctively stare at the body of the sword, unable to move their eyes away, obediently getting hit by the sword.
A normal longsword that cost two gold coins, but it gave off a strange pink glow and beauty. It was like the smile of a drunken peach blossom beauty, attracting everyone's attention.
"So beautiful … No!!"
Even the Queen of Banshees, who had experienced the destruction of countless dynasties, was struck in that instant. However, in the next second, she came to her senses.
"What's so nice about a broken sword?"
However, it was a pity that Harloys's attention was instantly attracted and the result was already determined.
The longsword slashed across her waist. The Queen of Banshees, Harloys, was unable to resist at all. Her body that had just revived from death was sliced into two. Her pale white soul started to leave her spiritual body, as though she was trying to escape.
"Incantation of Law: Restrict Personal Freedom."
Alright, the culprit was without a doubt the Banshee's soul. Thus, she was stuffed back into her broken body. Then, with a hole in her heart, she was pierced by the longsword again. The upper half of Kajah's body was pinned to the ground.
Only at this moment did I heave a sigh of relief. If it wasn't for Adam sneaking into the camp alone, I might have really died. She had just obtained her physical body and hadn't fully fused with it yet. In this state, she was even weaker than when she was in her spiritual body state. Otherwise, even if Adam was a rank higher than her, he wouldn't have been able to take her down so easily.
"You … You brat, you dare to do this to me, you dare to kill your teacher!"
"Firstly, you aren't dead yet. Can a thousand-year calamity die? I'm sorry, it should be ten thousand years, or a few hundred thousand? A million? I accidentally forgot auntie's real age. As for killing your teacher? Heh, isn't this the tradition of our bloodline? "
Harloys was instantly speechless. Back then, she told me proudly about the past, how she swindled the Great Saint Cecily's trust, sucked out all of her magic knowledge, then killed her teacher to steal her physical body.
The alarm had already rung and soon, people would come. It wouldn't be easy to explain Kajah's corpse here.
I took out a small bottle. That was the most common tool in Necromancy, specially used to restrain and capture spiritual bodies.
"Spirit Sealing Bottle!? You, you can't do this to me. I am the Queen of Banshees, not a lowly, stupid vengeful spirit! "
"Of course I can. Be good, go in. "
Looking at the spiritual body that was still struggling in the bottle, I was so happy that I could sing. This time, I really got a great bargain.
Based on her style of doing things, she probably noticed me long ago but kept on investigating. After confirming that there wasn't any strong fighting power around me, she took action personally. After obtaining the physical body that she dreamed of, she got carried away, thinking that she could easily take me down, thus she appeared in her weakest form. Not only did she not sneak attack me out of habit, she even intended to mock me directly.
If she thought that her power wasn't enough, she took over the physical body of the person beside me and suddenly attacked me, that would be really troublesome.
"Right, Roland, I seem to be in love again. Who is that girl? She is so gentle and her smile is so sweet." Adam suddenly spoke up, scaring me.
I shook my head indifferently. Adam's sudden love would happen a few times every spring. It was mocked by us as an animal's instinctive season.
However, if he were to really pursue her, it would most likely be a tragedy. No, not to mention the ending of a comedy, if the other party had feelings for him, he would definitely shrink back before they really started dating.
"Let's not harm the other party's lady. That?" However, there were a lot of things on my mind recently. Seeing Adam's tragedy was a good way to relieve my boredom.
Following the direction of Adam's finger, I looked out of the window. Then, I smiled. As expected of Adam, his choice and foresight couldn't be wrong!
"As expected of our City Lord. That is one of the top two beauties under my command. Don't worry, we have been brothers for many years. No matter which one you like, I will support you."
"Really? You don't have a fever? You actually didn't trick me? "Adam's joy made me determined to continue tricking him.
"Un, don't worry. Have I ever tricked you?"
"I can't even count … You really didn't trick me this time? She doesn't have a boyfriend? It can't be that she is the same as the one you introduced last time, Lily? "
Ignoring that deep resentment in his eyes, I sighed to myself that even a single-celled animal has a long memory. After coughing lightly, I honestly spoke the truth.
"They don't have a boyfriend and their sexual orientation is normal. Don't worry. I am speaking the truth. "
"Un? You actually didn't lie!! Then, thank you!! "The intuition of an idiot is very sharp. However, it doesn't work on the truth at all.
Alright, an hour later, I heard the scream of "I don't believe in love anymore!" that I had been waiting for a long time. My mood became a lot better.
"I didn't lie. Victoria and Krose are really the prettiest under my command. Furthermore, they definitely don't have a boyfriend and they aren't gay."
