Chapter 460: Chapter 387 Equipment Metamorphosis_3

This place resembled a gigantic castle; they appeared to have emerged directly atop a deserted castle’s high tower.

Upon entry, flickering flames from the braziers provided scant illumination around them.

The lion banners and dragon banners hung on either side, signifying that this place now belonged to Lind’s Expedition Army.

The Undead gathered in small groups, chatting, tending to wounds, and eating—in appearance, they were no different from the soldiers fighting at the front lines.

Upon closer observation, you could hear them cheerfully discussing their recent graceful swordplay, boasting of their feats in taking on five opponents single-handedly.

The light from the fire outlined the edges of William and Wen’s armor, their golden contours drawing the attention of the Undead, who subconsciously lowered their voices and looked towards them.

Nevertheless, the pair did not stop; they hurried down the spiral staircase of the castle, the building entirely intact except for the walls and floors splattered with extensive bloodstains.

Battles were ceaselessly taking place here, any respite was merely temporary.

Without the Undead, who revel in slaughter, even without the Abyssal Erosion, ordinary soldiers would have had mental breakdowns, unable to hold off resurrected beings from the Abyss that would climb upwards, making this fortress their target.

When the two reached the great hall of the castle, they saw the only damage that the castle had sustained.

The shattered castle gates.

Inserted in the door were numerous Admonition Daggers, all bearing a uniform message.

"A magnificent view lies ahead, please witness."

William and Wen walked side by side through the castle gates, looking ahead.

The scene that unfolded had nothing to do with the "Great Rift" or the "Abyss."

The sky was dominated by a dusky, sunset-like glow, painting everything within sight with a pale yellow hue.

Ahead was not a barren wasteland but an endless cluster of high towers.

Amid them grew chaotic rocky columns jutting out ruggedly.

And there were sculptures resembling fearsome, roaring Abyssal Calamities.

Their size was at least 15 meters tall, squatting atop huge columns alongside the array of densely packed, disordered high towers, creating an inharmonious sight.

Their current location was among these tower clusters, the so-called "castle" was merely a huge tower.

And at the end of their sight was a towering range of hills, taller than the other buildings, indicating to them the end of the Rift Abyss.

William looked down.

Beside those huge rocky columns were clusters of mausoleum catacombs.

"This place is fraught with dangers," William felt his lips drying up.

It was different from what he had imagined; the Abyss was barren yet magnificent, like a world composed entirely of dusk-colored soil.

Various religious-style sculptures added an inexplicable aura to this place.

Here, there were no abscesses to be seen, no pitch-black pus, everything was non-existent.

The calm and beautiful world before them had no relation to the Abyss.

But the bloody scent in the air was not deceptive; those creatures were still here, merely inactive, yet to reveal themselves.

An Undead approached them.

After greeting the pair, he pulled out a bow, and amid their puzzled looks, he let an arrow fly, striking the closest colossal stone construct.

In the next moment, the stone construct that seemed utterly lifeless to them twisted its head rapidly, emitting the aura of an Epic Level Calamity.

It pounced towards them.

This sight shocked both Wen and William, for if all those stone constructs were alive, it meant there could be thousands, or even more, Epic Level Calamities underground as adversaries.

Even Wen, who had once been an "Angel," felt a terrifying pressure touching his soul.

The quiet and majestic appearance was just superficial; this place was the Abyss, a horrifying Abyss!

"Damn, get out of the way quickly," the Undead shouted at them, then rushed back towards the gate of the high tower.

The pair instinctively ran back as well.

The huge stone construct, taller than 15 meters, crawled up to the front of the high tower gate, its massive size preventing it from moving further inside, allowing only an arm to reach in.

William and Wen quietly joined the Undead by the staircase.

Then they watched the Undead continuously shooting arrows.

"A giant with a weak spot," the Undead remarked calmly.

The pair then looked towards the giant stone construct, which could perhaps be considered a "gargoyle", its arms already scarred.

This wasn’t the first action taken by the Undead.

Footsteps came from behind, the Undead heading towards the Abyss were ready, some throwing various potions, while wizards chanted spells to temporarily enchant their comrades.

The Great Knight prayed, wrapped in flames.

Finally, the gargoyle that failed to attack retreated, emitting a roar that could puncture eardrums.

A rustling sound of footsteps followed.

"Here they come!" shouted an Undead.

"What’s coming?" William asked instinctively.

"Monsters, of course. That gargoyle calls for reinforcements every time it can’t get us. Those reinforcements are all above level 11, ah, that means Great Knight."

A dark mass of Calamities was already approaching, and they appeared cleaner than the infected humans.

Their bodies were emaciated, almost beast-like.

"Where do they come from?" William wondered, as the Undead had only infiltrated the Great Rift less than a day ago and yet they had already obtained many key pieces of information and were joyously "farming" already.

"Underground mausoleums. On the surface of the Great Rift, there are high-level elite monsters like those gargoyles and the roaming Servants. The underground mausoleums are nests, but beyond that, we don’t know more because we can’t get close," replied the Undead.

William stepped forward.

"I’ll help too!"

To the delight of the Undead, here came an NPC to help fight the monsters?

Indeed, the ultimate advantage in the game isn’t some special weapon or Skills, but having an NPC daddy leading you to an easy victory!

Flames swept across, and the battle began.

While the Undead rejoiced, William and Wen’s hearts were heavy, wondering how Lord Lind would react upon learning about this place, likely with similar worry.
