Chapter 2428 New Assessment
Inside the Death Knight's space.
Fang Heng and his companions' consciousness returned to their bodies once more.
"Welcome back."
The Death Knight's pupils flickered with blue flames as he looked at Fang Heng and the others, "It seems you have become familiar with using your will to fight."
"Death Knight, who were those invaders we just saw?"
It's here! It's here!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he might be able to raise his Necromancy skill to the Master level in one go!
"Chi!!!"
The doors slowly opened, and a dense aura of undead energy poured out from within.
Li Shaoqiang's face was filled with excitement, but when he saw Fang Heng beside him, he stopped and didn't move.
What's the situation?
Is something wrong?
Li Shaoqiang immediately put away the joy on his face.
The Death Knight's flickering eyes revealed a hint of coldness as he looked at Fang Heng and the others, who had not taken action to absorb the power.
"What's wrong? Don't you need power? The power is right in front of you, why don't you act?"
Fang Heng stared at the Death Knight, "I am curious, what is engraved on the sarcophagus in the tomb?"
"Sarcophagus?"
The Death Knight was somewhat surprised. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied, "I think it might be a prayer. Queen Persephone wrote prayers for her servants. For those invaders, anything left by the Queen is enough to benefit them for a lifetime."
"Now, are there any more questions?"
Fang Heng gently shook his head.
This explanation wasn't flawed.
"Begin then. The invaders are still deep in the tomb. There isn't much time left for you to increase your strength," the Death Knight gently stroked his long sword, "If you still want to continue."
"Mm."
Indeed.
Despite having many questions in his heart.
Now was clearly not the time to delve into them.
First, reap the benefits!
Shua!
With a thought, the Bone Shrine immediately appeared in front of him.
Fang Heng quickly condensed a mark in front of him.
"Hoo!!!!!"
The undead energy in the hall immediately formed a huge vortex, rapidly converging towards the Bone Shrine!
…
Dead Realm.
Queen Persephone's Tomb.
Inside a small tomb chamber, Lord Danny guarded her mentor's side.
A small number of ghouls continued to chase after them from the entrances of various stone chambers, but they no longer posed a threat to them.
Lord Danny and the several fellow disciples guarding the mentor beside her discussed in low voices.
"Ancient prayer?"
Lord Danny heard this for the first time, "Left behind by Queen Persephone?"
"Yes, Queen Persephone once ruled the entire Dead Realm and was considered the strongest existence in necromantic academics. The death prayers defined by her have gradually spread and are still used today. The initial prayers she left behind are of great value to our exploration of necromancy."
Lord Danny looked at the mentor who was concentrating on recording the prayer, and then asked, "Senior brother, I have always found it strange. Since Queen Persephone was the strongest person in charge of the Dead Realm, how did she die?"
"Who said she died?"
"Huh?"
"She simply disappeared."
The senior brother shook his head and continued, "Queen Persephone is the one who understands necromancy and death the most. Some academic viewpoints believe that Queen Persephone is already immortal."
"Then why…"
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, the mentor warned loudly, and then quickly jumped back from in front of the sarcophagus, retreating a few steps with a vigilant expression.
"Hoo!!!!!"
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of pure undead energy overflowed from the sarcophagus.
Lord Danny's heart stirred upon seeing this.
What pure undead energy!
"Danny, be careful, do not absorb this aura."
Lord Danny's heart tightened.
She then realized that the mentor's fellow disciples were all looking at the mist warily, without the slightest intention of absorbing it or approaching, and even seemed somewhat fearful.
"Absorbing undead energy can indeed greatly strengthen one's necromantic power, but this mist contains Queen Persephone's cold mark. This mark will affect our will."
"In extreme cases, we may even be controlled by Queen Persephone and become her eternal servants."
Servants?
Lord Danny's eyes flashed with surprise.
The senior brother continued, "Don't rush, the aura itself is not dangerous. We can only wait for a moment until the aura dissipates."
Lord Danny took a deep breath, "Senior brother, can you tell me what exactly is going on?"
"It's a long story. From some information revealed by the Necromantic Council at the current stage, Queen Persephone once dominated the entire Dead Realm, commanding seventy-two Death Knights, and even tens of thousands of powerful Death Gods…"
Lord Danny's pupils constricted, "Wait, senior brother, what did you just say? Death Gods?"
"Yes, Death Gods."
The mentor slowly stood up and nodded, "Danny, Death Gods exist, even now."
…
Death Knight's Space.
[Hint: Player absorbs undead energy, Player gains 651,100 Master-level Necromancy experience points].
[Hint: Player's Master-level Necromancy skill has been upgraded to LV: 28].
Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
He had to admit that the experience point reward given by the Death Knight was extremely generous.
With so many experience points, if he had to work hard outside, it would take at least a year.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo also opened their eyes one after another, unable to suppress the excitement in their eyes.
Regardless of whether this mission was a bit strange, the increase in Necromancy skill level was real!
"The three of you are still far behind in strength. In the past, you wouldn't even have the qualification to accept the trial, but you are very lucky. Now is the time when the Queen urgently needs people."
The Death Knight sat on the high throne, looking at the three of them, "Defeat those invaders, teach them a lesson, and then you will receive a reward from Queen Persephone, that is, to become Death Gods."
A dark passage entrance gradually appeared behind Fang Heng and the others.
