Bai Xiaowen summoned the Skeleton Warrior, the Shadow Assassin, and all other summoned creatures.
The Wrath Claw howled to the sky. All the allies had a 20% attack power and 20% attack speed buff. They officially blew the horn for the kill.
The Shadow Assassin appeared behind the Flesh Devouring Colossus and dealt double damage with its Assassination skill. Li Shuyi closed in on the monster with a Barbaric Charge, while the Red Leaf Overlord's Glory Longsword absorbed the monster's blood and Strength. Both of its swords attacked fiercely. The Skeleton Warrior's Greatsword charged up power, while the Butcher's Giant Snake Scepter charged up power. Bai Xiaowen stunned the monster with a single Deterrence, while the two charged up attacks smashed down heavily.
Qiao Rui also used [Heal] on the Flesh Devouring Colossus, causing it to receive 100 + Nature damage — which was actually poison damage.
The Flesh Devouring Colossus' HP was already decreasing rapidly, and Qiao Rui's poison was fatal. Bai Xiaowen's last Penetrating Bullet triggered the Blood Essence Stone's Thirst for Slaughter, dealing 120 additional True Damage and completely taking away the last trace of the Flesh Devouring Colossus' HP.
With a thud, the Flesh Devouring Colossus fell to the ground. A treasure chest that was flashing gold and silver with a hint of dark gold light appeared.
As the template of the Flesh Devouring Colossus could not be determined, this treasure chest's grade could not be determined. What could be drawn depended on luck.
At this time, the battle in Silver Star City was coming to an end. The White Phoenix team opened this strange treasure chest.
This battle was not difficult, but it was actually given an A-grade evaluation. It was a pleasant surprise. The three of them each drew a Loot Card.
"You have obtained material: Giant Jawbone."
"You have obtained special item: Flesh Devouring Colossus' Stomach."
"You have obtained special item: Experiment Notes (Incomplete)."
The three of them did not draw any equipment, items, or other combat items. They only obtained materials and a notebook.
[Giant Jawbone: This ferocious-looking skeleton has hard and sharp teeth. Please find a skilled blacksmith to obtain more information on the uses of the Jawbone.]
[Flesh Devourer's Stomach: Enhancement Item. Used on Corpse Demon Undead creatures. Has a chance to grant them new abilities. If the user's affinity is not high enough, it will fail. Please use with caution.]
[Experiment Notes (Incomplete): Notes on the modulation of the Flesh Devouring Colossus. Please contact the relevant researchers to obtain more information on the uses of this experiment note. Disappears after reading.]
"No wonder it was given an A rating. It didn't drop any equipment …" Bai Xiaowen muttered to himself as he kept the three items. Other than the Flesh Devourer's stomach pouch that could be considered for Butcher's use, the other two items needed careful consideration.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't plan to use it on Butcher right now. This kind of strengthening item might cause Butcher to fall into a deep slumber, and it was unknown when he would wake up, just like Keats, who was currently hibernating in the Black Soul Stone …
Next, the White Phoenix team entered the inner city. At this time, Gloria and the Lich Bard had already wiped out the remaining resistance in the inner city. Lord Aldington had retreated to his dilapidated mansion and burned down the entire manor, turning this luxurious mansion with hundreds of years of history into a wasteland.
The raging fire in the lord's mansion also meant the end of the Aldington family's rule in Silverstar Territory. A new Kingdom of the Dead had its first city as a stronghold on this land. Next, the Kingdom of the Dead would expand to the entire Silverstar Island and turn it into its main camp.
Next was the process of clearing out the remaining enemies. It was worth mentioning that some of the defeated soldiers of Silverstar City were actually willing to surrender to the Undead Army when they had nowhere to go and lost all hope. Perhaps to them, it was a dead end either way, so they might as well surrender and fight for a chance of survival.
Bai Xiaowen strictly ordered the Undead Army not to kill or surrender. Gloria had given him great authority, allowing Bai Xiaowen to control the actions of these Undead creatures who had an instinctive hatred for the living.
At dawn, the battle in Silverstar City had reached its end.
A notification came from the Spiritual Realm:
"The Kingdom of the Dead's control over Silverstar City has exceeded 75%. The original lord, Harlan Aldington, has died. The Kingdom of the Dead has obtained the actual ruling rights of Silverstar City."
"Dark Knight Gloria's template has been upgraded to Lord level!"
"Dark Knight Gloria has been upgraded to: Dark Knight Lord."
"Dark Knight Lord Gloria has learned a new skill: Death Injection."
"Dark Knight Lord Gloria's special skill: Death Breath has been upgraded to Lord level skill: Death Halo."
The psionic particles around Gloria's body were abnormally dense. It had completely surpassed the Leader template and reached a whole new level. Beside her, skeleton soldiers, ghosts, spiders, vampires … all the Undead creatures spontaneously knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to pay their respects to the new Undead Lord.
This was an instinctive reverence.
Even the Iceblast Wyrm Sindagosa had placed its huge bony head on the ground for Gloria to step on as a sign of submission.
The Lich Bard's skeleton was trembling. He knelt on the ground and opened and closed his jaw, trying to make a sound of magic resonance. However, in the end, he could only say one sentence.
"Your Majesty!"
Gloria stepped on the Bone Dragon Sindagosa.
"I need some time to familiarize myself with my power. Dior S Kail Boom will be in charge of the aftermath of Silverstar City and the subsequent attack plan on Silverstar Island. Lich Bard will be in charge of assisting. "
"As you wish." Lich Bard was not in the mood to raise any objections.
Bai Xiaowen placed his right hand on his chest and performed a common etiquette in the Yalun Continent. He smiled and said, "As you wish." He secretly used Insight to check Gloria's current information.
Gloria's attributes had increased again. Her total attributes had exceeded 260 points!
Among them, the highest Strength value had already reached 102 points. Gloria's Vitality was also quite strong. It had reached 78 points, which was comparable to a high-level Leader with Vitality.
However, Bai Xiaowen could not check the information of the most important skills, especially the newly acquired Death Injection and the evolved Lord level skill, Death Halo. All he got were question marks. As for the other four skills, Cursed Blade, Undead Sacrifice, Death Grip, and Eternal Enslavement, there were no changes.
However, Bai Xiaowen knew that Gloria's power had increased tremendously. She had no choice but to stop leading the Death Kingdom to digest her new power.
Bai Xiaowen once again obtained the authority to command the Undead Army. He immediately gave two orders.
First, close the city gates. The Undead Army was to scatter and search the city for the remaining resisters.
Second, put up "Cursing Sect Flyers".
The main point was, of course, the flyers of the Cursing Sect.
In order to develop the Cursing Sect, Bai Xiaowen had specially ordered a generous policy of "tax exemption" for the sect's followers. In the flyers, Bai Xiaowen first announced that the city was under the rule of the Cursing Sect. He also promised that the Undead Army would not kill the civilians. Then, he wrote down the doctrine of the Cursing Sect.
Finally, the most important thing was that anyone who joined the Cursing Sect would receive a 30% tax reduction!
To be honest, Aldington's previous harsh taxation had done Bai Xiaowen a great favor. It had given him a chance to win the hearts of the people.
Many panicked human civilians saw the flyers, and their panic was suppressed to a certain extent. They saw with their own eyes that the Undead Creatures ignored the civilians who were not armed. This undoubtedly confirmed the promise of not killing civilians on the flyers.
Many people's minds became active. To them, it did not matter who ruled Silver Star City. Even if the devil ruled the city, as long as there was a tax reduction, the ruler would definitely be an angel.
As for joining the Cursing Sect, the civilians did not have too many concerns. Anyway, the doctrine did not require the followers to pay any tribute. It was just an empty title. There would not be any losses if they joined. Of course, joining the Cursing Sect would guarantee their safety.
Bai Xiaowen was very clear about the thoughts of these people. Of course, his plan was not that simple. Luring these people into the Cursing Sect was only the first step. Next, he would divide the followers into ranks. High-level followers would receive a higher tax exemption, and even tax exemption. The core acolytes would even receive a salary …
In short, he would use the method of dividing the ranks to arouse the desire to compete in the hearts of the false followers. How to become a high-level follower? Comparing years of experience was a good way, so they should join as soon as possible.
Of course, followers with the same experience would be differentiated according to their performance. Bai Xiaowen had already summarized a set of detailed rules and handed them to the Lich Bard.
That's right. Bai Xiaowen had specially asked the Lich Bard to do the registration work of the Cursing Sect's followers. He had to explain this set of detailed rules to every civilian who visited. He also asked them to smile and speak in an amiable voice. They were absolutely, absolutely not allowed to use force against potential followers. This made Bard very angry, and he kept muttering that he wanted to complain to Lady Gloria and so on.
After a long time, they finally cleared out the remaining resistance forces in Silver Star City.
After this battle, the Undead Army did not expand much. It was a little difficult to use them to defend Silver Star City. Therefore, the task of conquering the remaining areas of Silver Star Island naturally fell to the White Phoenix team.
Bai Xiaowen remembered that the White Phoenix team's A-rank hero side mission would only be completed after they controlled the entire Silver Star Island. This was also the reason why Bai Xiaowen handed the task of developing the Cursing Sect to Bard. There was really no one else he could use.
However, after the situation in Silver Star City stabilized, Bai Xiaowen and the other two found some time to open the treasure chests of the two Ascetic Monks leaders that they obtained from the battle of the Church of Light.
The two treasure chests were only rated C-rank.
A special item was opened from the treasure chest of the Ascetic Monk leader, Sanjir.
[Advanced Staff Technique Tutorial: This is the textbook that the Ascetic Monk leader, Sanjir, imparts to the Ascetic Monks' combat techniques. After use, your advanced combat specialty, Polearm Mastery, will receive an additional increase of proficiency by 100%. The effect of this tutorial will permanently expire after your Polearm Mastery reaches Level (7). Number of uses: 1/1. Disappears after use.]
This tutorial was a good loot. There was no need to say more about the importance of combat specialties. Just look at the Delifa and you would know. As a Rare Elite with a Spirit specialization, there were not many who dared to fight a Strength specialization leader head-on in close combat. This was all thanks to the super combat specialization.
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui could not use it, so this staff technique tutorial was given to Bai Xiaowen. His Butcher used a scepter, which was also a polearm.
Bai Xiaowen did not use this staff technique tutorial for the time being. He planned to use telepathy with the Delifa after returning to the Earth Dimension and share the Delifa's Polearm specialization. Then, he would use it together with this advanced tutorial to maximize the efficiency. Perhaps it would not be long before he could raise his Polearm Mastery to Level 7.
At that time, with the support of the Strongest Brainiac, his Polearm Mastery would reach Level 8 … It would be more effective to control the Butcher. Bai Xiaowen could not help but think of a strange scene. The tall and strong Butcher held the heavy Giant Snake Scepter as if it was an embroidery needle, lifting it as if it were a light weight as he struck out with an elegant and agile staff technique.
This scene was quite beautiful. Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
Next was the treasure chest of the Ascetic Monk leader, Pulas. It finally dropped a piece of equipment. It was the special steel staff used by Pulas.
[Double Severed Tooth (Bound after pickup)]
[Equipment Quality: Hero (Gold)]
[Equipment Position: Dual Wielding/Dual Wielding]
[Equipment Requirements: Base Strength 30, Base Agility 30]
[Attribute: Attack Power 16 – 38]
[Additional Skill: Dual Wielding Stance: Passive. In the combined state, the additional attack power of the Double Severed Tooth weapon is increased by an additional 25%. When the dual wielding stance is activated, the Double Severed Tooth can be separated into two one-handed short spears. The attack speed is increased by 100%, but the additional attack power will be reduced to 60% of the interface attack power.]
[Durability Description: This weapon of mysterious origin is engraved with twelve foreign words: An inch long, an inch strong; an inch short, an inch dangerous.]
Seeing the twelve words engraved on the Double Severed Tooth, Bai Xiaowen suddenly felt a little Spartan.
"This, this, this … What's going on? Isn't this the Aaron Dimension World, which only has one continent? How can there be a weapon from another dimension, and it's in the ancient Hua Xia style … "
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui looked at it and clicked their tongues in wonder.
Qiao Rui said, "The Awakened have also been trapped in the Spirit Realm … If their equipment is lost to the Spirit Realm, the original owner must have met with misfortune."
Li Shuyi's little brain reacted very quickly. "So, we're avenging the Awakened from Earth. I guess this Pulas killed an Awakened from Earth and picked up his weapon?"
Qiao Rui shook his head. "Maybe. But according to common sense, even if an Awakened is killed, the equipment should have turned into psionic particles and dissipated. This kind of loss of equipment is extremely rare. "
