Kalida pointed her Venom Staff at the Undead Army that was wreaking havoc in the Ancestral Hall. The Supreme Queen of the Lebalas Palace immediately ordered, "In the name of the Snake God Asaf! Warriors of Nikohara! Get rid of these vampires and begin our revenge!!! "
The King of the Tomb, the ruler of the city of Lebalas, the Supreme Queen Kalida, was not only Nefrata's cousin, but also her sworn enemy.
Thousands of years ago, Nefrata was once the Queen of the Lemia Kingdom of the Nikohara Dynasty, and Kalida was her cousin. At that time, Nefrata had already become a vampire. She did her best to raise Kalida and even arranged for her to marry King Lebalas. She wanted to use this method to control the entire Lebalas Palace.
At the right time, she finally revealed the secret of immortality to Kalida. In Nefrata's view, no woman could refuse the elixir of immortality and eternal youth. The two sisters would be together forever and live happily.
Unexpectedly, Kalida refused. On the contrary, she publicly complained that Nefrata had become an Undead and asked for a duel with her cousin. Nefrata had no choice but to agree. Although Queen Lemia was not particularly good at and liked to fight, Kalida, a mere mortal, was no match for the Ancestor of Vampires. Kalida was defeated. When she was on the verge of death, Nefrata gave her a kiss of blood, wanting to forcefully turn her into a vampire.
In despair, Kalida cried and prayed to the Nikohara Gods, asking them to save her. The Snake God, the Goddess of Beauty and Vengeance, Asaf, heard Kalida's pleas and responded to Kalida's power. The Snake God's venom purified the filth in Kalida's body, allowing her to die peacefully. Kalida's body was carefully coated with medicine to prevent decay and placed in a special coffin in a proud sitting position.
After that, the Nikohara Kingdoms gradually recovered, and Kalida was among those who woke up. She once again became the Supreme Queen of Lebalas as the Snake God Asaf's divine choice and incarnation. The power bestowed by the gods flowed through her limbs and bones. Venom flowed through Kalida's blood vessels. Her movements were as fast and agile as a viper in attack mode. She and her Lebalas Court were ready for war.
Unlike most of the Tomb Kings, Kalida's body was mostly intact (only half of her face was destroyed in the duel with Nefrata). She did not turn into a pile of rotten meat and ribs like the other Tomb Kings. Therefore, Kalida did not have absolute hatred and disgust for the living like the other Tomb Kings. She even once hired and entertained the human army and Empire colonists. However, like all the other Tomb Kings, any creature that dared to enter her territory would be slaughtered.
After meeting Nefrata in Nur, Laing knew that the alliance between him and Queen Lemia was unreliable. At that time, he had already thought about how to break out of the situation. His personal maid, Olica, told Laing that Nefrata had a mortal enemy, her cousin, who was always committed to cleansing the filth of Nagash from the mortal world and taking revenge on Nefrata.
Therefore, when the Lady of the Lake deciphered the prophecy of Straig, Laing knew that the Bloody Queen was the master of Silver Peak Mountain in the Roof of the World Range, Blood Ancestor Lemia, Nefrata!
Olica did indeed contact Kalida, and the Supreme Queen of Lebalas's response was very simple. As long as Nefrata appeared, she would definitely lead the Nether Knights and her Lebalas Legion to take revenge.
Therefore, after confirming that Nefrata had left Silver Peak Mountain, Kalida and her Lebalas Legion hurriedly marched for more than ten days from the city of Lebalas, following the traces of the Undead Army, and rushed to the final battle.
Laing knew that before that, he had to persist. Nefrata's appearance was not a coincidence, but an inevitable event. This was because Blood Ancestor Lemia also coveted the wealth of Eight Peak Mountain. As long as he and Baylor tried to reclaim Eight Peak Mountain, the Undead Army would definitely join in!
The moment the Tomb Legion appeared, they cut the Undead Army in two. Nikohara's Undead Army directly attacked Nefrata and her Undead Army from the back. The Nether Knights made of metal constructs tore open the Undead Army's back, cutting the Skeleton Warriors and the Undead Army like sharp bayonets. The Undead Army of Silver Peak Mountain had now found an opponent. The Tomb Legion was also a group of skeletons that did not know pain and had no feelings. They obeyed Kalida's order and joined the battle.
Groups of Lebalas's famous archers lined up in large groups. They continuously released a rain of arrows, and the Undead Army fell under the rain of arrows.
The pressure on the Undead Army was greatly reduced. More importantly, the power of the runes in the Gate of Valaya had become stronger.
Realizing that her army was in danger, Nefrata's dagger once again emitted a bloodthirsty red light. Once again, Bloodlord Lemia and Leon were locked in battle. Nefrata could see that Leon was reaching his limit. He could fight evenly with Nefrata and Jules for a while, but he could not fight against two pinnacle saints at the same time for a long time. His speed was slowing down, and his armor was covered in scratches. Nefrata did not know where Leon's mysterious power came from, but she was sure that Leon could not maintain this state of super high output and constant flashing for a long time. Nefrata did not know where Leon's mysterious power came from, but she was sure that Leon could not maintain this state of high output and constant flashing for long.
She and Jules must defeat Laing before Kalida and her Tomb Legion completely closed in!
The more anxious Queen Lemia was, the more evenly matched the two sides were. Psionic flames and lightning constantly surrounded Laing, protecting the Knight King. After using so much psionic energy, Laing began to feel a little weak. But when Nefrata wanted to cast another necromancy spell to completely defeat this hateful, disgusting, arrogant, and ignorant creature, she was shocked to find that she could no longer feel the wind of magic!
The wind of magic in the Ancestral Hall was constantly converging on the Gate of Valaya. The master runes shone brightly, penetrating the darkness underground. With the third flash of the master runes, the dwarves were once again relieved of fatigue and healed their wounds. The dwarves' morale was high, and they were in full condition. Lemia's vampires found that the dwarves' armour and skin had become extremely sturdy. The power of necromancy was getting weaker and weaker. Many skeleton armies were disintegrating in the wind, and the enchantments of the vampires were being shattered one by one. The dwarves had never felt so proud. The power of their ancestor was getting stronger and stronger. The echo of Valaya rang in the minds of her descendants, protecting them from any undead.
"Pick up your weapons, dwarves!" Belegar's voice ignited the fire of the dwarves. Now, the dwarves were unshakable. "For Valaya!"
"Attack!" The Pegasus Knights, who had been conserving their strength until now, finally made their move. They swooped down from the sky, carrying unparalleled explosive power and the wrath of the Lake God. They attacked from the back and completely defeated the undead army that was fighting the expeditionary army. Lemia's Sisterhood's steward and Nefrata's deputy, Etaimonte, was pierced through by the lances of two Pegasus Knights. Kalad finally seized the opportunity and beheaded the Saint-level vampire. Then, Durandale pierced through Etaimonte's heart. The light of the Lake God exploded, and the female vampire's body was burned into a pile of charcoal.
The magic crystal cannons, 'Morgiana's New Toy' and 'Laing's Hammer', opened fire at the same time. Nefrata's Witch Throne was blasted into a pile of sawdust.
On the other side, the Lebalas army also launched a devastating attack at the undead army's back. Khalida raised her Venom Staff and summoned the Serpent God Asaf from the void. Dozens of Tomb Legions followed the Tomb Princes' chariots and Ushabit's automatons and swept through Nefrata's army.
The Queen of the Silverpeak Mountain knew that her army was on the verge of defeat, and the loss of necromancy made her even more anxious. She wanted to kill Laing even more. The epic duel continued. Laing, Nefrata and Gul were surrounded by the corpses of those who didn't have enough strength. The Tomb King's bugle sounded from afar. Nefrata was eager to have a showdown with Laing!
Finally, Laing's Mjolnir smashed into Gul's shoulder with great force. The Undead King's burly body couldn't withstand the power of the Knight King and collapsed to the ground. Laing immediately summoned a silver-white psionic spear and pierced Gul's chest. The Undead King kept struggling, spitting out green soulfire from its mouth as if it was wailing in pain. The black axe fell to the ground powerlessly.
Gul was defeated. His body disappeared in a black-red light. Nefrata knew that it would take Akhan a few years to heal Gul from this terrible injury.
However, Laing's small victory finally gave Nefrata the opportunity to end the duel. Her dagger bypassed Laing's defence. If this stab hit, even Laing would have to die. However, the dagger stabbed into his psionic shield. Before the shield shattered, Laing managed to buy some time. He twisted his body frantically, only to have Nefrata's dagger cut into his shoulder. There was no room for him to dodge.
Nefrata didn't intend to give Laing any chance. Her next attack was faster than the blink of an eye.
"Roar!" The griffin, Impris, rushed over. It spat out lightning and proudly flapped its wings. It swept Nefrata's arm from the side with its sharp claws. This time, the attack missed. The furious Nefrata punched Impris from one side of the hall to the other. The griffin crashed into the stone wall, shattering the painting of the Valaya Church's dwarves brewing beer.
"I've heard a lot about you over the past decade. I'm very sorry for this result." Now, no one could stop Nefrata. She quickly rushed toward Clayon. "You touched something you shouldn't have!"
Laing clenched his teeth and knelt on one knee. The dagger was poisoned. He was using his psionic energy to resist the poison and curse.
In the nick of time, a destructive arrow pierced through the air and hit Nefrata, knocking her back. Then, a pair of butterfly daggers blocked Nefrata's attack. Dark Elf Olica appeared from the shadows. She noticed that Laing was heavily injured. Olica said in a tone of extreme disgust and hatred, "Don't you dare hurt my master!"
The two of them exchanged daggers six times in a second. It was as if they were dancing face to face.
"I —" Before Nefrata could answer, a giant snake came from the side and bit her, slamming her into the wall. The divine power of the snake god Asaf shone brightly. Queen Kalida ignored Olica who was protecting Laing and said to Nefrata, "Cousin, your opponent is me."
"Ahhhh!" Nefrata screamed crazily. The giant snake's fangs were laced with Asaf's venom, which was injected into her body. The vampire ancestor felt extreme pain. She used all her strength to shatter the giant snake that was wrapped around her body. "Khalida!"
"The time for revenge has come. In the name of Asaf, I will wipe out the filth left behind by the Nagash today!" Khalida ruthlessly waved her viper staff and engaged in battle with Nefrata.
The undead army was finally swallowed up by the tomb army. The battle between Nefrata and Kalida was earth-shattering. The dwarven ancestral hall could no longer withstand the destruction and began to collapse.
"Reinforcements are here! Retreat! Retreat into the Gate of Valaya! Retreat into the Gate of Valaya! "Laing was supported by Olica. He shouted," Retreat! "
"Retreat into the Gate of Valaya!"
"Dwarves! Do as brother Laing says! "
"Retreat!"
The expeditionary army finally got the chance to retreat. The army retreated orderly into the deep and intact tunnel behind the Gate of Valaya. The ancestral hall was collapsing and destroying, burying the undead army and the tomb army together. In the midst of the chaos, Nefrata and Kalida were still engaged in a duel. The Silverpeak Queen looked on in despair as the Gate of Valaya was getting further and further away from her. "No!"
But she no longer had the chance. After the Holy Grail Knights and the old guards of the expeditionary army had all retreated into the gate, the dwarven rune craftsman master Stroud Sincerity knocked on the runes on the gate, and the Gate of Valaya slowly closed. With the closing of the gate, the entire tunnel and the ancestral hall also collapsed and gradually turned into ruins in the tremors.
"Damn it!" Nefrata finally managed to repel Kalidda's attack and sent the Supreme Queen flying. She grabbed the poisonous snake that was coiling around her and tore it into two. She then led the remaining vampires and retreated from the entrance. "Let's go!"
"The duel is not over yet, cousin!" Kalida led the army and immediately followed.
Dozens of seconds later, the ancestral hall was completely in ruins, filled with rubble and boulders.
The epic battle that took place in front of the Gate of Valaya came to an end.
