Chapter 304: Chapter 178: Reincarnation Corpse, Undead Army
Just from its appearance, it was hard to tell what level of Demon it was.
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of both humans and Demons.
At such a great distance, Perception couldn’t reach that far.
Corpses were piled into mountains. An Undead, standing still and emitting no aura, would blend in completely with the background to the naked eye.
And Lu Cang, being so small, was utterly inconspicuous among the heaps of bodies.
Lu Cang stealthily crept toward the bodies.
He moved without a sound.
Soon, he was near the three Black Coffins.
Secret — Coffin of Reincarnation
Hidden Item: Secret of Reincarnation
Acquisition Method: Mastery of Ancient An Su Secret Language, Reversal Decoding, Recovering Lost Information
Gilded text was branded on the inside of the three coffins, but parts of it were missing here and there.
Lu Cang touched one of the Black Coffins.
Instantly, all the text on the Black Coffin reappeared in Lu Cang’s mind.
’It’s Ancient An Su Secret Language again.’
’This language really gets around.’
’You need it to solve puzzles in Dungeons, you need it for many of the Death Church’s texts, and now you even need it here.’
’This language is certainly popular.’
’If I ever need to encrypt something in the future, I should definitely avoid using Ancient An Su Secret Language.’
’The fact that it’s used in so many places means plenty of people must know it.’
Once the text was fully formed in his mind, a sheet of Fire-Written Paper appeared in Lu Cang’s hand, and he began to decipher it.
Meanwhile, waves of power pulsed from behind him!
KRANG!
BANG! THUD THUD THUD—
The Sword Saint was sent flying, crashing through a small mountain of corpses before rolling several times across the ground!
The bald man was already swooping down from mid-air to attack again!
The Sword Saint finally recognized the figure wielding the sword...
’That’s probably... the previous Sword Saint.’
He’d heard that millennia ago, the previous Sword Saint had mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the Secret Scroll for the class.
What ultimately happened to him became a mystery.
’Now it seems...’
’...he must have entered the Forgotten Realm and fallen here.’
His fate was forgotten by the world, leaving behind nothing but the legend of the Sword Saint.
But as for the bald man and the silver-haired Mage...
...he had no idea who they were.
’Aren’t those other people going to help?’
He wanted to call out, but felt it would be a loss of face.
He had actually come here with the intention of soloing the three great powerhouses of the Forgotten Realm. By fighting one against three, he would prove he was truly invincible!
’A true master should possess such invincible spirit!’
He never expected, however, that these three masters would be so terrifyingly strong. Just fending off the attacks of the other Sword Saint had him at a stalemate!
And that was without even mentioning the other two masters, who were no weaker than he was!
"These three are incredibly powerful! Not a single one of them is weaker than me!"
"Everyone, together—"
The Sword Saint glanced around.
He suddenly realized that most of the people who had been here just moments ago were already gone!
There were only a few people left.
’What the hell?’
’They ran that fast?’
’Don’t they have any pride as masters? Is their first instinct when facing a powerful enemy really to run?’
BOOM!
A thousand rays of sword light came slashing down!
The Sword Saint met them with a thousand of his own!
As the sword lights clashed, the bald man, glowing gold, was already charging in!
’No, this can’t go on.’
’I’m at a disadvantage, one against three...’
’Does this mean the treasures of the Forgotten Realm are beyond my reach? Must I really give up?’
’If I could just kill these three...’
’...I can’t imagine how many treasures they must be carrying.’
’No wonder that while people who leave the Forgotten Realm always have some gains, few ever report any truly significant, eye-opening discoveries.’
’So that’s why... These three are just too strong, too hard to defeat.’
’Perhaps we could only take them down if that person who inherited the War God’s legacy came with me.’
’No.’
’Maybe if I go all out, fight for my life...’
’...there’s a chance I could kill all three of them.’
’But... is it worth it?’
The Sword Saint glanced at the few people still remaining in the area.
It wasn’t worth it. If he fought with all his might here, he would only be letting them reap the rewards.
"If you can’t win, just say so, meow."
"Acting like you stand a chance... Are you trying to make me die of laughter, meow?"
Suddenly, a sharp taunt reached his ears.
A flash of silver wind shot past!
The silver-haired Cat Girl dashed past the Sword Saint!
SWOOSH!
In an instant, a thousand rays of sword light, like a spiderweb, filled the space and slashed down!
They were about to dice Xiumi to pieces in a heartbeat!
"Whoo~"
But Xiumi’s figure turned illusory—
CLANG!
The dagger in her hand parried three of the sword lights!
Her body weaved through them with extreme agility, and in the next moment, she had pressed a hand on the undead Sword Saint’s head and vaulted behind it.
"I’m not picking a fight with you, meow."
Kicking off the back of the undead, Xiumi abruptly accelerated, charging toward the distant Golden Body Bald Head!
BAM!
A fist appeared out of nowhere!
But Xiumi dodged the blow with a slight tilt of her head!
Her dagger shot upward in a stab, aiming for the Golden Body Bald Head’s chin!
’What a fast dodge. Her movements are incredibly swift.’
’Every move is simple and deft, yet fast and precise.’
CLANG!
But when the upward thrust of her dagger struck the Golden Body Bald Head’s chin, it only produced a loud ringing sound!
It didn’t break through his defense—
The fist swept horizontally toward Xiumi’s head, but she was faster. She was already ducking, and the dagger that had been aimed at his chin instantly changed direction to stab at his neck.
CLANG!
Another strike failed to break his defense.
Seeing her two strikes fail, Xiumi spun around and shot off in another direction at extreme speed!
And just as she expected, the Golden Body Bald Head gave chase.
