In a split second, a large amount of sparks blossomed from Lin Yun's skeleton. After being attacked for a dozen seconds, Lin Yun finally found an opportunity to swing the Death Scythe, and the shadow behind him also disappeared.
Lin Yun extended his bony claws and touched his skull. There wasn't a single scar on the surface. He could only vaguely feel a faint mark, but when he touched it again, that mark also disappeared.
The Undead didn't feel pain, at least not when their bones were attacked. They wouldn't feel anything even if their bones were broken. Lin Yun chuckled as he touched his skull.
Becoming a skeleton wasn't without its benefits. Bones were the strongest defense, and he didn't need any shields. After becoming a Skeleton King, he became a level 47 Skeleton King. Not only did his bones have frightening defense, but they also had very powerful recovery abilities. At the very least, when facing that attack just now, even if he stood still, that Vampire's Soul Group wouldn't be able to kill him …
That's right, it was that level 45 Vampire Overlord. This guy flew in the air, looking at Lin Yun with some surprise. He hadn't expected Lin Yun to be this strong. Facing his sharp claws, Lin Yun didn't even try to block them. His weak joints were only left with a small mark, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
How could he fight this?
Originally, he had thought that it was a lone Skeleton King. A lone Skeleton King must have lost to another Skeleton King and been stripped of its status as an Undead Commander. It might even have been stripped of its abilities and many things. It would be good if it was still alive. It looked like it was Level 47, but it might not even have the strength of Level 46 …
After killing this Skeleton King, he obtained a Level 47 Soul Fire. This was a huge fortune. At least in the Undead Plane, this Soul Fire was enough to double the size of his territory.
But he absolutely didn't expect that this wasn't a lone Skeleton King that had been defeated and banished. It was much stronger than a Skeleton King of the same level …
The Vampire Overlord's face was pale without a trace of blood. He looked at Lin Yun with a trace of fear in his eyes. Then, he decisively turned into a swarm of bats and fled …
Lin Yun scratched his head in confusion. Why did this Vampire Lord run away after throwing a punch? He even foolishly transformed into countless bats and fled. Wasn't that just courting death?
If he had escaped properly, he might have been able to escape with the innate speed of vampires. But now that he had turned into a group of bats that could kill a group of bats with a single slap, how could he escape?
A vampire's life-saving ability was to transform into countless bats and escape in all directions. Not only were they fast, but there were also a lot of them. As long as one bat escaped alive, he wouldn't die. However, the more bats he lost, the more serious his injuries would be. But in the end, he would survive, wouldn't he?
Facing a Skeleton King, this kind of escape method was indeed the best method, because if he turned into tens of thousands of bats and scattered to escape, ordinary skeletons would definitely not be able to stop too many bats, at most killing a few hundred would be the worst case scenario.
Unfortunately, he had encountered a Skeleton King in disguise …
Lin Yun scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. But he didn't slow down at all, pouring the power of death into the Death Scythe.
In an instant, the Death Scythe turned into an afterimage around Lin Yun. One after another, the Death Scythe revolved and rushed out. These Moon Blades exploded after flying out, covering an even larger area and transforming into even smaller Moon Blades.
In a second, Lin Yun's attack range of a dozen kilometers was within the range of his attack. The huge Moonblades flew out and exploded into smaller Moonblades, and the smaller Moonblades split into even smaller gray Moonblades.
In the end, every crescent blade was only the size of a palm, but their number had reached an incalculable level. It was as if a rain of crescent blades had fallen over a dozen kilometers. Every crescent blade's power had dropped by a thousand times, but the area it covered was very wide …
In just a few seconds, the bats that had scattered and fled in the sky were torn into pieces like pieces of rags. In less than ten seconds, half of the bats had been torn apart.
The remaining half of the Vampire Overlord was completely terrified. A group of flustered bats flew around the sky like headless flies. When the Moon Blades formed a huge encirclement and slowly converged towards the center, the pitiful Vampire Overlord understood that this wasn't an ordinary foolish Undead, nor was it a Skeleton King that had been banished from the continent …
When had he ever seen a Skeleton King play with such a delicate attack method? Or rather, he had never seen an Undead other than a Lich that could do something like this …
Countless bats converged in the air and once again turned into a pale Vampire Overlord. But this time, this guy's face was even paler …
Just as his body condensed, the Vampire Overlord fell to the ground and quickly lay on the ground.
"Great Skeleton King, your strength makes me submit. I, Giovanni, submit to you …"
Lin Yun put away his Death Scythe and slowly walked towards the Vampire Overlord. This guy's gesture of submission was really incomprehensible. He actually lay on the ground. But thinking about it, to a creature from the Undead Plane, lying on the ground and relaxing was indeed the most harmless posture.
Lin Yun walked in front of Giovanni and looked at him quietly. Giovanni had already lost all hope.
'Great ancestor, why is my luck so bad? Why did I provoke this terrifying Skeleton King?
'Who told me that there are only two possibilities for a Skeleton King to appear alone …'
'The first is that it has just become a Skeleton King, and the second is that it was defeated by another Skeleton King and stripped of all its abilities.'
'Damn it, who told me this? This terrifying guy is already level 47, so it can't have just become a Skeleton King. Then there's only the second possibility.'
But damn it, who can tell me what's going on? A Skeleton King with power that's even more terrifying than a Lich? Primogenitor, I must have been asleep for too long. Damn it, that must be it.
'This terrifying Skeleton King didn't kill me, and he doesn't look like a stupid Undead. He should accept my submission, right?'
Giovanni lay on the ground, not daring to use any of his strength. Anyway, there was not much difference between being killed without resisting and being killed if he resisted. He might even survive if he did not resist.
He knew that Vampires were still living creatures. Apart from the Thirteen Ancestors of the Vampires, the other Vampires were as conspicuous as the Undead Plane's Light Power. They could be seen clearly if they used even the slightest bit of power.
Giovanni lay motionless on the ground, but Lin Yun suddenly thought of another problem.
It might not be too difficult to torture this Vampire Overlord and obtain information about the Vampire Ancestors from him, but the authenticity of the information might not be guaranteed. Who knew if the information was real or not? Most importantly, if the other party felt that he was going to die during this process and desperately tried to pass on some information, the result would be very troublesome.
At that time, he might have to face an army of Vampires and the joint attack of several Vampire Ancestors. Lin Yun did not think that a level 47 Skeleton King could face the joint attack of several Vampire Ancestors.
After all, even the weakest Vampire Progenitor was Level 47. Based on the current situation, only the last three Vampire Progenitors were Level 47. The rest were Level 48, and there were definitely Level 49 Progenitors.
Now, he wanted to find the weakest Vampire Ancestor, but he couldn't let the other side be too vigilant before he found it. It was better not to get rid of this Vampire Overlord. At the very least, Lin Yun knew three methods of transmitting information that he couldn't block.
One of them was to use the bloodline connection to self-destruct before death to pass on the information to one's Ancestor. This Lin Yun would definitely not be able to stop it …
Giovanni was like a spineless coward, and Lin Yun felt that he should not kill this guy.
Using this guy to find the Vampire Ancestor and letting this guy lead the way should be the best choice.
He stretched out his bony fingers and pushed aside the cloak behind Giovanni's head. There was a bloody mark on his neck that looked like four intertwining wings, but the style of the mark was cold and hard. Seeing this mark, Lin Yun could not help but grin.
This mark was the mark of the 13th Vampire Ancestor, Giovanni. Judging from the aura of this mark, this Giovanni was definitely a second-generation Vampire, and one that was more valued.
After all, Giovanni was the weakest of the 13 Vampire Ancestors. In this era, he was definitely only level 47, and a descendant of level 45 would definitely be highly valued.
Lin Yun's laughter turned into soul waves and spread. That cold laughter poured directly into Giovanni's head, and Giovanni became even more obedient. He lay on the ground without moving, allowing Lin Yun to do whatever he wanted.
"Take me to Giovanni."
The cold soul waves were transmitted into Giovanni's head, causing him to shiver. Even his body started to tremble. He still had some thoughts just now, but the thought of finding a chance to escape was instantly thrown out of his head …
Ancestor, how unlucky am I to want to attack a Skeleton King that knows Father's real name? Could this scary fellow be Father's old enemy?
But how come I didn't remember my father having a Skeleton King as an enemy? That fellow carried a blood-red death scythe on his back. I had never seen a blood-red death scythe before, but to these undead, the color didn't make a difference.
Damn it, why do I feel that the aura of that Death Scythe is so familiar? What a scary fellow.
Why is he looking for Father? If he's Father's old enemy, how could he not find Father? What does he want then?
'Forget it, I don't care anymore. No matter how strong this guy is, he's only strong to me. As long as I find my father, whatever this damned Skeleton King wants to do has nothing to do with me. At that time, I can regain my freedom.'
If it wanted to cause trouble, then with father's strength, he would definitely be able to kill this terrifying Skeleton King. After so many years, father had killed so many Level 47 undead that I couldn't even remember how many. He had already killed five Level 48 undead, and their skulls had all been taken into father's collection. I was sure father wouldn't mind adding this strange Skeleton King to his collection...
Thinking about these things, the fear in Giovanni's heart slowly dissipated. He slowly crawled up from the ground and carefully looked at Lin Yun. His gaze followed Lin Yun's empty eye sockets and glanced at the Soul Fire in Lin Yun's skull. He immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to look anymore.
This guy definitely wasn't an ordinary Skeleton King. At such a close distance, I actually couldn't feel any of his thoughts. How did he do it? Weren't undead supposed to be unable to hide their thoughts? At such a close distance, what was he thinking about? I could definitely feel some soul fluctuations …
What a strange Undead, but it doesn't matter. The stranger the better. Father will definitely like this collection. His Death Scythe and his skull will definitely become part of Father's collection …
Giovanni couldn't wait for Lin Yun to die, but on the surface, he was very respectful. If it weren't for the fact that skeletons couldn't eat and taste delicious food, Giovanni would definitely take out his treasured delicacies from other worlds to show his filial respect to Lin Yun.
Although he couldn't eat it, Giovanni still contributed a new cloak. It was made from the softest and toughest second layer of abdomen skin of a special half-undead, half-dark magical beast from the Undead Plane.
Its surface was covered in dense golden patterns. Together with the blood-red cloak, it looked very gorgeous. It was definitely much better than the tattered cloak on Lin Yun's back.
Ever since he became a Skeleton King, Lin Yun finally understood why a Skeleton King's cloak was always tattered. There was no way it wouldn't be tattered. A Skeleton King's death aura was much stronger than that of an ordinary Undead. A cloak that could perfectly withstand the corrosion of the power of death was very difficult to make in the Undead Plane. It was already good to have one …
The cloak that Giovanni contributed was something that could withstand the corrosion of the power of death. It was very rare even in the Undead Plane. Congratulations.
"Sir Bao Di, this cloak was personally made by Sir Bloody Lich. You should know that Sir Bloody Lich's things rarely leak out. I spent a lot of effort to get my hands on this cloak."
Eighteen Heaven Rank Gargoyles were pulling Giovanni's Bone Chariot as they rapidly flew through the sky. The four-meter-wide Bone Chariot looked like a simple frame made of bones. There was a cushion made of animal skin and a roof made of Blood Magic Alchemy. A steady flow of death energy was drawn in and poured into the Bone Chariot.
The eighteen Heaven Rank Gargoyles pulling the chariot was very fast and very stable. Lin Yun sat on the cushion and listened to Giovanni brag about how good his things were when he suddenly heard Bloody Lich's name.
"Bloody Lich? Tell me, what did that guy do recently? "
Giovanni froze. He couldn't tell if Lin Yun was happy or angry, it was as if he was suddenly curious. But he made up his mind to be polite before he reached Giovanni's territory. He would listen to whatever Lin Yun said.
Being moody was an innate ability of the Undead. One wrong word could lead to a war that would last for centuries. Only the Undead could do something like that.
"Sir Bloody Lich? He has been silent for many years. It is said that he has been researching something in the Silent Hill. You know, those Liches always like to do some inexplicable things and won't appear for a very long time.
I don't know why, but this time, Lord Bloody Lich personally walked out of his bunker. I don't know what he wanted to do. According to my father, a long time ago, Lord Bloody Lich seemed to have started a war between the undead and the creatures of darkness. In less than a hundred years, 17 large territories were completely destroyed. In the end, the legendary King of the Undead personally appeared.
"Sir Bloody Lich ended the war. The relationship between us Vampires and Sir Bloody Lich is very bad. According to my father, Sir Bloody Lich captured an Ancestor in order to research something. Later, I heard that the Ancestor died. No one knows, but my father said that he can no longer feel that Ancestor's aura.
Also, some time ago, for some reason, another progenitor died. It's been really chaotic recently … "
Giovanni kept talking about what he knew, but Lin Yun didn't say anything and calmly listened.
The Bloody Lich leaving his territory in the Silent Hill surprised Lin Yun, but it wasn't unexpected. He had previously found traces of the Bloody Lich in the Leviathan Plane. That guy's Perfect Lich Transformation Ceremony had tricked a few Heaven Rank Necromancers.
There were only so many Heaven Rank Necromancers. Although Noscent's Necromancers weren't hated by everyone, they weren't very popular either. There were very few Heaven Rank Necromancers, and five of them had died in one go. This wasn't a small loss.
Lin Yun wasn't surprised that the Bloody Lich's scheme had been destroyed and he personally left his territory, but he was somewhat vigilant. Unfortunately, Giovanni didn't know what the Bloody Lich was doing. He only heard that the Bloody Lich had left his territory.
As for how he could be sure, it was because a Heaven Rank Dark Lifeform had entered the Silent Hill and returned alive. Afterwards, a few more Dark Lifeforms sneaked into the Silent Hill and also returned alive.
This would have been impossible in the past. The Silent Hill was a forbidden area for Dark Lifeforms. Any Heaven Rank Dark Lifeform that entered the Silent Hill would only end up as an experimental subject for the Bloody Lich. None of them would come out alive.
The Bloody Lich came out to cause trouble, and the Undead King also seemed to be playing tricks behind the scenes. Lin Yun scratched his skull, creating a large amount of sparks. He felt a bit of a headache.
Fortunately, he could disguise himself as an Undead this time. Otherwise, rescuing Agalon and the others would have been impossible.
But it looked like the situation was very bad. The Bloody Lich couldn't make a move on the battlefield, and the Undead King couldn't either. But the fact that they had set their sights on this side was already very unfortunate.
Just thinking about it made Lin Yun feel a headache. Unfortunately, he could only do what he had to do now. The Dead Chapter couldn't help others disguise themselves as Undead.
Once he saw Giovanni, he would have to capture him alive. This would be even more troublesome. It would be troublesome if he caused too much of a commotion or delayed for too long.
Whether he attracted the attention of the Bloody Lich or the Undead King, he would die a very unsightly death. No, it would be impossible for him to die even if he wanted to.
Giovanni was still talking about the things he knew, but most of them were worthless. They were all hearsay and completely unreliable. The news of the Undead Plane was just like the news of Noscent's bards.
The truth was that a small village's fight might turn into two major forces discovering some precious resources on the border and launching a terrifying war, resulting in the fall of countless powerhouses.
Many of the things Giovanni said gave Lin Yun the feeling that, apart from things related to Vampires, everything else was unreliable.
But Lin Yun keenly noticed a problem. Giovanni had already mentioned three times that an Ancestor had fallen some time ago, and if there was nothing unexpected, it should have been the unlucky guy he had gotten rid of at the end of the Undead Auction.
However, Giovanni didn't know that at least seven Vampire Progenitors had fallen recently. He also didn't know what these Vampire Progenitors had done. In fact, he hadn't even heard of them. He didn't feel the fall of these Vampire Progenitors either.
Giovanni was Giovanni's second generation descendant, and Giovanni hadn't fallen yet. It was normal that he couldn't feel the fall of the other Ancestors, but the descendants of the other Ancestors could definitely feel the fall of their fathers. That kind of bloodline connection couldn't be hindered.
Giovanni still didn't know about this. Based on that guy's chatty personality, he definitely liked to talk to his own kind. He had heard a lot of things from others.
It was impossible that none of the descendants of the fallen primogenitors had told Giovanni about this.
Seven Ancestors had fallen at once. Including the one that Lin Yun had killed previously, there were at least eight of them. In other words, nine of the thirteen Ancestors of the Vampires had died within a year. This news, which was similar to the collapse of a plane to the Vampires, actually didn't spread. It was a complete joke.
Lin Yun thought for a while and understood. In that case, there was only one possibility left.
The seven Ancestors that had been used as bait to lure Agalon and the others into the Nightmare Kingdom might not have died. Not a single one died. Only the unlucky guy from before was killed by Lin Yun after being seriously injured.
Since he didn't die, he must be in the Nightmare Kingdom …
After deducing this, Lin Yun felt that it wasn't just a headache, but a huge problem …
According to the records, the Nightmare Kingdom was completely different from ordinary planes. It could even be said that the Nightmare Kingdom didn't have a fixed shape at all. It could even be said that it was formed by the combination of countless planes.
Although Agalon and the others were also inside, finding them was a very difficult matter.
It would be really troublesome if they met a living Vampire Ancestor inside.
As he was lost in his thoughts, the Bone Chariot was pulled by the eighteen Heaven Rank Gargoyles and started descending. After piercing through the gray clouds, a boundless black forest appeared in front of them. In the center of the black forest was a twenty-kilometer-long triangular boulder. A pitch-black castle was sitting on top of the boulder.
The Bone Chariot slowly descended and flew towards the castle.
Under the boulder, a several-dozen-meter-thick pitch-black python raised its head and glanced at the Bone Chariot flying in the sky. In an instant, the eighteen Gargoyles looked as if they had met their natural enemy and floated in the air, not daring to approach.
Giovanni hurriedly extended his head and waved at the python.
"Sir George, it's me, Giovanni. I have a very important matter to discuss with my father."
Giovanni appeared, and the python coldly glanced at him before slowly sinking into the forest and disappearing.
Giovanni wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Sir Bao Di, that is my father's friend. It is said that he has the bloodline of a Golden Top Python …"
