Chapter 401: Chapter 248 Summoning Noah, Ancestor Dragon Descends_2

When the inefficiency of the Elves became intolerable to all parties, the development of events suddenly accelerated. A highly specialized legendary assassination squad was formed, and traitors within the undead were ready to meet them.

"This is the map of the Great Graveyard!"

Noah, through the Eye of True Vision, could see an ongoing battle meeting, which could also be called an assassination meeting. The main agenda was to plan how to stealthily infiltrate the Great Graveyard and lift the lid of the Immortal King’s coffin, to completely eliminate this Undying King that caused unease to many factions.

The meeting process was so lengthy and tedious that it made one want to doze off; even Noah, also a member of the Longevity Species, couldn’t stand the Elves’ longevity style.

However, when the natural demigod Parvati, who proposed and led everything, stood up, the meeting quickly went on track, and matters were swiftly finalized.

The assassination operation quickly commenced. It was a team composed of five legendary figures and one natural demigod. Among them, three were from the Elf Court, two were from the temple faction of the Elf Clan, and the other one was from the Royal Family.

As for the two legendary figures apart from the Elves, one was the legendary mage Selena, who claimed to just join in the fun, and the other was the legendary shield warrior personally appointed by Uranos, tasked with protecting Selena and preventing any Undead from approaching.

Regarding Uranos, though his power was formidable and suitable for an assassin role, it didn’t make sense for a king to risk himself, nor was there any precedent for a king acting as an assassin.

After setting off, the team that included a legendary mage teleported to the vicinity of the Great Graveyard’s glacier within half an hour. With the help of an undead insider, they soon entered the Great Graveyard, and boldly entered through the main gate.

"So this is the Great Graveyard, finally seeing it with my own eyes!"

Known as the Great Graveyard, although filled with an eerie and pale undertone of undead style, the architectural design was grand and majestic, devoid of any image of dilapidation and poverty one might associate with a graveyard.

Just the parts exposed above ground were an incomparable magnificent city, standing as a national capital with no hint of poverty, comparable to the capitals of the living.

The towering obsidian skeleton statues at the entrance of the catacombs, and the countless gargoyle decorations embedded in the city walls, were truly hair-raising.

This was a puppet army that could revive at any moment, possessing some undead properties, yet losing many undead weaknesses as well. What one could see was only a fraction at the grand entrance.

Noah could be sure that no country, even the now-thriving Atlas Kingdom, could conquer the Great Graveyard by military might alone.

How many lives would have to be expended to conquer this undead kingdom?

In the worst-case scenario, the undead side might increase in number as the war continues.

Therefore, the forces wanting to eradicate the Undead Calamity chose infiltration and assassination over a frontal attack.

Guided by the undead insider, the legendary squad disguised themselves as undead, brazenly blending into the Great Graveyard’s interior, giving Noah a new perspective.

It had to be said, besides the gloomy color scheme, the extravagant and lavish style adored by the Dragon Clan was apparent in the Great Skeleton’s aesthetic: gold-paved floors, gems for paintings, all commonplace here.

External necromancers would sacrifice their entire fortunes for a piece of Yin Soul Wood to make a magic wand, yet here it was used as incense, even though the undead had no sense of smell.

"What are you doing here? Who allowed you to come here?"

As the legendary squad penetrated deeper, the inspections and interrogations they encountered grew increasingly harsh, and each legendary figure’s expression became more solemn. Even without encountering the Immortal King, they felt the pressure.

Because they were encountering more and more legendary undead, the Great Graveyard had thirteen levels, each guarded by a legendary undead, with the last level personally guarded by the Immortal King, also being his resting place.

"No, you aren’t undead, you are living beings, who let you in?"

Even the disguise created by a legendary mage’s spell lost its deception effect in front of the increasingly powerful undead, as a ghost saw through it.

"I told you the undead couldn’t be trusted, attack!"

Selena was the first to make her move, the top of her staff bursting with radiant Holy Light, instantly illuminating the ninth level of the catacombs where they currently were.

In just an instant, the undead illuminated by the light howled in agony, and tens of thousands of ghosts were vaporized, but the legendary ghost guarding here, while enduring Selena’s Holy Light, released a soul-harming Wraith Howl.

This was both an attack and a warning, to alert other legendary undead in the Great Graveyard.

"Why the yelling? It’s so awful to hear!"

Selena, grasping the bottom of the staff with one hand, emitted ever-brighter flashes from the top as if a frenzied female barbarian, wielding a Holy Light Warhammer specialized against the undead, relentlessly struck the legendary undead.

"..."

Sharing the same perspective as his adoptive mother, Noah silently watched the renowned legendary mage wield her staff like a warrior, chasing the legendary ghost around relentlessly, finally evaluating,

"Truly a legendary mage!"

Along with Noah’s silence was the shield warrior sent by Uranos to protect Selena. This heavily armored, tower-shield-carrying warrior found himself despairingly unable to keep up with the mage’s pace.

"Don’t waste time here, killing undead is meaningless."

At the critical moment when their disguise broke and undead in the catacombs swarmed, Parvati stood up, a grand divine aura erupting from her body.

The small-looking, seemingly just over ten-year-old elf loli had indifferent golden divine brilliance in her eyes, devoid of any mortal emotions.

"Charge down!"

Nearly fully clad in divine equipment, Parvati led the charge, swiftly breaking through the undead encircling them, leading the three legendary elves underground.

"Divine Descent?"

Through his adoptive mother’s vision, Noah, always monitoring the battlefield’s situation, slightly squinted his eyes. His niece did not possess such strength to slay legendary undead with one blow.

The bloodline traits of the Longevity Species held back her progress in the Extraordinary Realm, falling far behind her brother Wayne.

"Noah, won’t you descend?"

Surrounded by undead relentlessly surging up like a tide, Selena raised her staff high while simultaneously sending a summoning to Noah.

"Now?"

Noah was a bit surprised. He thought they’d call him over only after lifting the coffin lid of the Great Skeleton, but before conquering the bottommost level, they were already summoning him, giving Noah a peculiar feeling.

"Tsk, fine, the employer calls the shots."

Noah, naturally indifferent, watched as the space in front of him seemed to transform into a lake surface, with waves of spatial ripples spreading out before him.

"I can’t hold on any longer!"

In the catacombs, besieged by five legendary undead, Selena tossed out a necklace, made from the Eye of True Vision, as a magical artifact carrying extremely abundant and astonishing energy. At this moment, it was used by Selena as a one-time consumption item to summon Noah due to the special location she was in.

"I’ll help you!"

A powerful golden dragon claw reached out from the ripples of explosive energy, grabbing a Frost Bone Dragon, then snap! Crushed its skull directly.
