Chapter 533: Chapter 431 Ancient Echo_2

"Shake it up, we can’t hog this battle ourselves, it’s tough."

Several undead squads quickly converged towards the Black Tortoise Shield squad upon receiving the signal and voluntarily dispersed, each hiding in their positions.

The atmosphere of the battle was tense but wonderfully invigorating for the undead, fighting against stronger foes and the sheer joy of crushing them completely, which is the true essence of the game.

Because of their undying bodies, they enjoyed battle more than anyone else, the anxious and expectant moments of tension, the thrill of a sneaky strike, and the exhilarating experience of overcoming a formidable enemy flowed through their limbs.

It was like having a super cool lucid dream.

"First, take out the enemy’s ranged attacks, then quickly assassinate a few mutated beastmen, and finally draw that wild beast out to an open area, the front line tanking and drawing aggression, healers heal up, singers blowing buffs hard, backline mages covering with firepower!"

The frenzied beastmen wandering ahead seemed not to have noticed them.

The ruins were their beast nest.

Some were digging holes, others were sniffing around, but though they looked like animals, they were not real animals, and their sense of smell was not as keen as real beasts.

One by one, the undead pinpointed the enemy’s location, for them, it was a battle too familiar to master.

Then, the battle burst forth!

Flames plunged into the dilapidated charred walls, the walls, already near collapse, exploded with a roar, and debris of stones flew around.

Their assault kicked up dust, then like a collapsing mountain, the wild beast tore through the dust and smoke, emerging as the already tilting and shattered walls shed large chunks.

The undead charged ahead.

"Hit its knees! Cripple it!"

"Got any flashbangs? Control it!"

Dazzling light burst forth, the beast blinded became even more frenzied, quickly depleting the undead around it.

But the relentless onslaught of the undead did not cease, the wild beast was hit by magic, alchemical tools, and more, attacking its feet, uncontrollably skewing towards a house nearby, then a sky full of magic engulfed it.

The undead’s battle resonated; this slaughter fest might be tough, but victory was certain.

...

"This fast?" Lind was surprised looking at the official website.

He truly hadn’t expected Beast Girl Soralis’s merchandise to come out so quickly, was Furry really that marketable? He didn’t understand, but he respected it.

Moreover, if a character had merchandise, it implicitly demonstrated her popularity.

As everyone knows, popular characters play a significant role.

Lind had deliberately collected a group of poster girls in the Rand Kingdom, like Disney’s parade of princesses, showcasing high popularity everywhere.

And the personas they established allowed many tasks to be issued without feeling out of place.

It’s normal for a Princess of the Fallen Country to give out tasks to save the nation, but a janitor claiming she wants to save the nation feels absurd unless her last name is Grey.

"Can’t just kill her off."

Lind knew Soralis was hiding a lot from him and was probably using him directly, mutual use, but he felt he was at a disadvantage.

For the preferences of the undead, he also had to change his approach to Soralis. Initially, Lind planned to understand the power of the Beastmaster first, snagging some benefits, then more benefits, and once enough was accumulated, he’d head to the Stone Beast Fort for news from the Sky Star Magic School.

Then it’d be time to make his escape.

"After all, I’m in the service industry."

He wasn’t sure about other things, but he knew that if he killed off the very popular Beast Girl, the undead would definitely be upset.

Change of thinking, as the provider of material for merchandise, Soralis’s merchandise quality is pretty good, maybe the painter is particularly interested in this type, even exceeding Lind’s own merchandise.

If it weren’t for the lack of a mobile number, unable to verify registration, Lind would definitely report it officially.

It’s suggestive, yet the authorities aren’t shutting it down.

Of course, Lind didn’t like these things either, but William was supposedly the main character of this version, yet he didn’t even have his own merchandise, only appearing occasionally in plots with Lind and Tao Lexi, playing the one who got drunk and fell asleep.

Heh.

The undead did not disappoint Lind, successfully bringing back what was called the "Echo."

They stood panting before Lind, describing how difficult the battle had been.

"This was dug out from his body, after we killed the Wild Beast. We found a pus-filled tumor on his back resembling a human face. Once we cut it open, this fell out."

The undead showed little interest in the "Echo."

[Ancient Echo of the Beastmaster: Related to the Beastmaster]

No rewards, no stats increase, just a task item, boring.

As for who the task item should be given to, there was no need to think about it, it was definitely Lind.

"Should this be handed over to Soralis?"

The Beastmen helped complete the needed task, and points and war points would not be stingily withheld. By the time they returned, Rand Kingdom would likely gain 3000 more Barons.

When Lind held the Echo, his [Heart of the Fox] unexpectedly reacted. Serving as a womb that nurtures new deities, it possessed immense power, allowing dead deities to resurrect, although it required a vast amount of energy.

Now, the Echo that Lind held also showed a similar reaction. Did this mean it actually was a part of the Beastmaster?

The Beast Girl wasn’t telling the whole truth.

The departing undead began to return, and Lind carefully picked a piece to go find Soralis.

"So soon?" The Beast Girl looked at the Echo Lind brought back, her expression changing several times, though Lind still couldn’t decipher it.

He could only tell a puppy’s expression by its baring teeth or sticking out its tongue, and he judged its mood by how fast its tail wagged.

Thinking this, Lind took two steps to the right and looked behind the Beast Girl.

Her tail was wagging quite fast, it seemed she was quite pleased.

"What are you looking at?" Soralis bared her teeth; this time Lind understood her expression.

"You should fulfill your earlier promise," Lind shook his head.

Soralis did not dwell on this, she nodded lightly, "You still want a title?"

"What exactly is a title?" Lind pressed on.

The Beastmen would brave death for a title, and upon acquiring a rare title, their strength would leap.

"It’s like a beast’s pack," Soralis said, "The Beastmaster divides his own power, bestowing it on those Beastmen who worship Him, in exchange for their loyalty. Yet, He can still retract all the power and even drawn the power gained from cultivating the title."

"Give nine in return for thirteen?"

So a title was essentially a loan.

That made grinding for titles understandable, the power I painstakingly cultivated was all for helping the Beastmaster nurture his power.

Soralis did not hear clearly what Lind said; seeing him looking down, she knew he must be fearing this power.

"What about other Beastmen, like the Beast King, don’t they know?" Lind also sensed another attitude from Soralis’s words; she did not respect the Beastmaster.

"They do know, so they have also responded," Soralis retorted, "Otherwise, what do you think the titles of the Corrupt King and Lionheart King are for?"

"Bringing in other powers?"

No wonder the Beastmen appeared to possess relatively pure strength, but once it came to the Beast Kings, their style radically changed.

The Black Blood possessing the title of Abyss could also be understood then; definitely, the Lionheart King had a connection with the Abyss, so his subordinates would also gain power related to the Abyss.

But whether the Beastmaster would fear this, and...as a High Priest, Soralis showed no respect for the Beastmaster.

"What about the other type?" Lind asked.

"A purer Beast Power, offering one’s faith to the true Beastmaster!" Soralis’s tail suddenly wagged faster, "You can obtain the Beast’s Blessing!"

"The true Beastmaster?"

She quietly watched Lind and said, "Beneath the Beast Sacrificial Ground lies the ruins once known as... Stone Beast Fort!"
