I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 985 - 985 986 A Glorious Victory_1

Chapter 985: Chapter 986: A Glorious Victory_1 Chapter 985: Chapter 986: A Glorious Victory_1 Song Jian saw that the undead troops on the city walls and all the defense facilities had been destroyed. Even the sturdy walls of the third-level castle were tottering, with huge cracks spreading and collapsing continuously. Yet the Red Lotus Sword Array did not dissipate; instead, it grew fiercer. It seemed like the third stage was already beginning to gestate, and in the sky, the vague shadow of a hand was slowly beginning to emerge.

Inside the castle’s laboratory, the Lich Lord watched the young dragon corpse twitch slightly, excitement shining in his crimson eyes.

The rich Force of Death surged like a tide, wave after wave incessantly pouring into the body of the young dragon. The Magic Array beneath it began to tremble violently.

“Soon, soon it will succeed. Hold on…” the Lich Lord muttered to himself, continuously throwing various precious Magic Crystal materials into the Magic Array.

The Magic Array was the only way to awaken the young dragon as an undead creature. If the Magic Array collapsed, then the experiment would once again end in failure.

This was already the third experiment. Although the test subject was a Black Dragon with a robust body, it was, after all, just an immature young dragon. The first two experiments had already caused irreversible magical damage to its body. If this experiment failed again, then the young dragon’s corpse could no longer be transformed into an undead creature and would only serve as ordinary material.

Just then, the Lich Lord seemed to hear a tender dragon’s roar bursting forth from the young dragon’s corpse, excitement flashing in his crimson eyes once again.

This signified that the young dragon’s corpse had begun to accept the Force of Death. The most difficult step was completed; what remained was to continue infusing the Force of Death and wait for it to awake as a true undead creature.

Although the costs that followed would be even greater, the Lich Lord, seeing hope, no longer cared about this expenditure.

The Magic Array, which was dramatically trembling, began to gradually return to calm. Everything was proceeding in a favorable direction. The surface of the young dragon’s body, formerly black scales, started to slowly gain a layer of grey. Unbeknownst to anyone, the eyes that had been shut slowly opened, revealing pale golden pupils shining with a cold light, but at that moment, the dragon’s eyes were dull, like an empty shell.

“Very good, next, we just have to…” The Lich Lord was jubilant, preparing to begin the next step of the experiment when suddenly, a loud boom came from above, accompanied by an earthquake-like tremor. The defensive Magic Array of the entire laboratory, after flickering violently a few times, shattered completely.

The hard rock walls also cracked, enormous fissures appearing. All the equipment and materials in the laboratory were scattered on the floor.

The Lich Lord’s complexion changed drastically, his iron-grey cheeks showing a surge of dark aura. He watched helplessly as a fine crack appeared in the center of the Magic Array under the young dragon, traversing the entire Array.

A shrill roar burst forth from the body of the young dragon. The Lich Lord, with his keen perception, immediately detected a slight “pop” sound coming from within the dragon, like a bubble bursting in the air.

“No!” The Lich Lord’s heart sank. That bubble-like pop signified that the fledgling consciousness born within the young dragon had suffered a backlash due to the destruction of the Magic Array, and it had burst forthwith!

In an instant, a towering rage blazed within the Lich Lord’s mind. Turning around, he grabbed his personal Magic Staff and fiercely slammed it on the ground. In a flash, the Lich Lord’s figure disappeared from the lab.

The Lich Lord quickly appeared on the castle’s outer walls and, seeing the apocalyptic scenes surrounding him, couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

“How can this be!” Looking out towards the castle’s exterior, Catherine led her army, still standing hundreds of meters away. However, the Lich Lord knew that this seemingly insignificant human hero had launched an attack on his castle and inflicted massive damage.

“You have no idea what kind of being you’ve angered. I will extract your soul and roast it in the flames of Undead Hell for ten thousand years. Your body will become the lowest-grade Skeleton Soldiers, and I will…” The Lich Lord seethed with curses, but before he could finish, a chilling threat overcame him.

It was as if a frog being targeted by a snake, the Necromancer Overlord didn’t dare to move at all.

Click-clack, click-clack~

A series of slight teeth clashing sounds emanated, but this time, it was not the Necromancer Overlord laughing. Instead, it was the sound of teeth knocking together as his body trembled violently from fear.

The Necromancer Overlord seemed to have realized something, as he struggled to move his neck, lifting his head to look up into the sky.

A gigantic hand with a diameter of over a hundred meters was spread open and emerging in mid-air. Streams of Sword Qi surged toward the hand from every direction. As Sword Qi flowed in, the hand became increasingly solid, and the Necromancer Overlord could even make out the fine lines in the palm at the center.

“What in the world is this…” the Necromancer Overlord stared blankly at the enormous hand above him, his mind a complete blank.

Just at that moment, the gigantic hand that loomed over the entire City of the Undead seemed to sense something, and in one-tenth of an instant, it ferociously slammed down.

Catherine first saw the gigantic hand smack down, reducing the entire City of the Undead to rubble. Dust and smoke billowed into the air, and then she heard a dull roar in her ears.

The sound was deeply resonant, as if a heavy hammer had struck her in the chest, causing a feeling of nausea that made her involuntarily cough up blood, providing some relief.

Immediately after, an overwhelming burst of energy spread out from the ruins of the castle in all directions. The barren wilderness was shaved down a thick layer, as smooth as a mirror, and not even a pebble the size of a fingernail could be found.

Fortunately, the army led by Catherine had maintained enough distance that by the time the blast of energy reached them, it no longer had any effect on them.

Dust swirled, like a sandstorm being whipped up. After a long while, the dust settled, and Catherine saw before her an entirely flat landscape. The third-level City of the Undead from her memory seemed as if it had been erased from the earth by an eraser, without leaving a trace behind.

In a daze, Catherine seemed to hear a voice.

“Your army has overrun a third-level City of the Undead, you have achieved a resplendent victory!”

“Your valorous deeds will spread across the entire human kingdom, all humans will cheer for your achievements, and your heroic name will be remembered in the hearts of all people!”

“In this battle, you have gained one million six hundred thousand Experience Points and leveled up to level thirty! Your personal attributes have increased, the number of troops you can command has grown, and the effectiveness of your leadership bonuses has improved!”

“You have earned the title of Undead Annihilator. Under your command, your troops’ morale will not fall when facing undead creatures, and damage dealt will increase by 100%”
