"Why are you still lying on the ground?" Angor's voice reached Natasha's ears. She looked at him in a daze.
"The aura of resentment underground hasn't dissipated yet. It's obvious that the undead that attacked us just now was only a small portion. Perhaps there are even more undead lying in ambush underground. So … are you planning to lie on the ground as a live bait?"
It took Natasha a long time to realize what he meant. Was he implying that it was not an illusion just now?
Before Natasha could ask more questions, she heard an ear-piercing noise behind her.
She felt as if her soul was being brushed by a chilly wind. The negative aura brought by the wind enveloped Natasha and made her shiver from the inside out as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Undead Howl!" Natasha quickly realized that she was being affected by Undead Howl. However, that didn't mean she could defend herself. She was still frozen like before, unable to move. She could only feel the chilling wind behind her getting colder.
At this moment, Natasha suddenly heard a faint sigh.
Following the sigh was a soundless but visible ripple in the air. Since Natasha was facing Angor, she could clearly see that the ripple came from the gun in Angor's hand.
When the ripples gushed out from the muzzle, they spread out at an extremely fast speed.
Everything in front of Angor, including Natasha, was within the range of the ripple. However, Natasha didn't feel anything amiss inside the ripple. Instead, it was the undead creatures behind her who were screaming in pain.
The chilling aura suddenly disappeared.
When Natasha felt that she could move again, she turned around abruptly, and an unbelievable scene was reflected in her eyes!
Not far behind her, a terrifying red-robed undead screamed miserably as its body dissipated into countless motes of light. It was like a meticulously constructed sand sculpture that had encountered a hurricane and was blown away in an instant until it completely disappeared.
Natasha looked at the disappearing undead creatures and then at the strange gun in Angor's hand.
"Is this the truth?" Natasha muttered to herself.
Is this why all the undead creatures disappeared in an instant? Was it destroyed by a single shot from this gun?
"There are more undead creatures coming this way. Are you sure you want to stay here?" Angor frowned at Natasha.
Natasha stood up absent-mindedly.
"Lead the way," Angor said. He felt that this cyborg was a little slow. Did he hurt her brain when he was using her body?
Angor didn't try to hide his thoughts at all. Natasha was both embarrassed and annoyed. However, she couldn't explain herself right now. She had no choice but to keep moving forward.
She wasn't too far away from the node, and just as she had guessed, there were countless undead rushing toward her from just a few dozen meters away.
At first, Natasha was afraid.... Undead creatures weren't easy to deal with.. However, as time passed, Natasha's mood gradually calmed down and she felt more at ease.
Every time Angor fired, he would take away an entire area of undead creatures, not just one or two.
Once, Natasha only took two steps forward when hundreds of undead creatures rushed out from the cliff nearby. But before they could finish their cries, they were all swept away by a wave of energy.
Natasha had never seen anything like this before.
Was that gun an alchemy weapon made to deal with undead creatures? If that was the case, then the cleaning efficiency of this gun was too terrifying!
Natasha once followed a wizard here, and that wizard couldn't even deal with the undead creatures so quickly with Banish spells. Besides, there was a limit to the number of undead creatures that could be banished at a time.
Speaking of which, even Sunders was surprised by Angor's efficiency.
He knew how useful Prelude to Rebirth was, but this was the first time he saw the weapon being used to deal with so many undead creatures.
Sunders might be able to do it himself, but it would cost him a lot of energy, and he wouldn't be able to do it faster than Angor.
Such was the irreplaceable quality of an alchemy item in a special environment.
Large numbers of undead were exterminated. By the time Natasha arrived at the node, the resentful aura of the undead around her had already become extremely faint.
Natasha couldn't help but wonder if Angor could use that gun to wipe out all the undead creatures around her. Maybe Dark Castle's predicament would be solved right away. After all, the reason why that guy could be so fearless was because he was relying on the endless supply of Undead creatures.
As long as she could get rid of the undead creatures, she would be able to get rid of that damned bastard!
Natasha was getting excited. But she also knew that it wasn't right to ask someone to do something like this for no reason. Moreover, with her status, why should others listen to her?
Natasha had no choice but to calm down. She might not be able to do it herself, but that didn't mean others couldn't. Maybe he told the Empress. With the Empress's ability, she should have a way to do it.
Natasha couldn't wait any longer. She turned around and said, "Because the undead have blocked all the exits of Dark Castle, we can only go back through the space nodes. I'll open the nodes now. If any undead attack me, I hope you can help me clean them up."
Angor nodded noncommittally.
Natasha quickly activated the space node. This kind of space node was similar to a short-distance teleportation array, but it was much more secure. Both sides of the node had to confirm the location of the node before it could be used.
Natasha needed to spend some time to identify herself so that the controller of the node could confirm her identity.
While Natasha was operating, two waves of Undead really did come to attack them. However, there weren't too many of them, so Angor easily dealt with them.
After that, the undead creatures completely disappeared. Natasha tried to contact the controller of the node, but they didn't show up again.
Natasha sighed in relief, while Angor was a little disappointed. Speaking of which, Angor was quite happy when he was dealing with the undead creatures. He could use this chance to gather more white bullets.
Angor used up all six white bullets in his magazine to turn Torras back into a soul. He never had the chance to replenish them because he simply couldn't find a place with enough undead creatures.
His original plan was to go to the Undead Sea and replenish his bullets. However, he didn't do that because his other plans were more important. Now, he finally saw a chance to do that in Dark Castle.
Unfortunately, he only killed about 1,600 undead creatures on his way here, and each bullet required at least 2,000 undead creatures. So far, he didn't have enough white bullets.
This was why he felt a little disappointed when the undead creatures completely disappeared.
Natasha spent a long time talking with the node on the other side before activating it.
However, Natasha still looked a little worried. "I've already notified the people over there, but they can't decide whether to let you in or not. They can't leave their posts without permission, so they only opened up one portal. They want me to go in first and inform the higher-ups. "
Natasha's tone was cautious. After all, these two were important figures. One was the famous God of War in the southern region, and the other had not revealed his identity yet. However, the strange gun might be able to save Dark Castle. She was afraid that she might say something wrong and anger them.
Angor glanced at Sunders. He didn't like what Natasha said, but he wouldn't make the decision himself. He had to wait for Sunders' approval first.
Sunders' expression was cold. His cold aura made Natasha shiver.
After a long moment, Sunders nodded. "Sure."
Natasha heaved a sigh of relief, as if she had been freed. She immediately returned to the node and disappeared with a flash of light.
Both Sunders and Angor looked at Dark Castle at the same time.
"You sensed it too?" Sunders glanced at Angor in surprise.
Angor nodded with a strange look. "I can feel it. That's where Dark Castle is. But I think it's a special space underneath Dark Castle. "
Sunders gave Angor a thoughtful look. "You're right. Looks like you're quite talented in the art of space."
When Sunders learned that Angor's first spell slot was a portal to teleport, he already guessed that Angor's second talent was related to space. Now, it seemed that Sunders was right. Otherwise, Angor wouldn't have been able to sense the space waymark as a mere apprentice.
As for the second talent, he could wait until Angor became a wizard to confirm it.
Now that they knew the exact location of Dark Castle, both of them could enter. However, since they already agreed to Natasha's request, they didn't have to do that.
Sunders agreed to Natasha's request because he didn't want to start a war with Dark Castle. They already violated the rules of visiting Dark Castle, and entering Dark Castle's territory without permission was already inappropriate. If they didn't do anything, it would be tantamount to declaring war on Dark Castle.
After all, Dark Castle still had someone as powerful as the Twilight King. Sunders had to be careful.
