Chapter 609: Chapter 472 Acting_2

Having thrown two fireballs in succession, the white burning poison fog churned relentlessly.

"Thud!"

A boot stomped onto the ground.

Like order being restored to chaotic musical notes, the fierce boot stepped out of the white burning poison fog, tidying up the crackling noises into an orderly rhythm.

The footsteps were slow; the Black Knight still maintained his sword-wielding stance as he stepped out.

Still marked with a "?", his health bar was still unseen; he didn’t rush forward or make any other moves, just steadily walked toward the Silver Wolf, but the oppression of this moment almost made the Silver Wolf break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

The most terrifying enemy wasn’t the one wildly attacking but the one who, after ignoring your strongest assault, approached you with calm steps, leaving you unable to even resist.

Compared to the giant foes he had faced before, the Black Knight was only slightly taller than an average person, his body enveloped in armor, but it was certain he was a Demi-human, or even a human.

The pressure was unprecedentedly strong. As for fear...there was none!

It was just death, not something worth dreading.

He valiantly waved his Chicken Leg Ore Stick as though standing beneath a dam, sword raised against the raging torrent.

The Black Knight swung his Longsword calmly, without any special effects, but the moment the Silver Wolf’s weapon made contact with that Longsword, he found his body uncontrollably floating lightly into the air.

The weapon flew from his grip, and his body crashed heavily against the wall; his health became dangerously low in an instant, nearly turning into ashes.

"Shit!" The Silver Wolf couldn’t help but want to curse aloud.

He had all kinds of buffs fully applied and yet, he nearly got one-shotted. The gap between them was too great.

Moreover, the opponent didn’t need any special effects. This was pure, the beauty of statistics!

"Good thing I kept it in control," Lind sighed with relief in his heart. He knew that the current strength of the Undead was weak. The ones who had undergone "Mechanical Ascension" were a bit stronger, but most of the Undead, having chosen ranged magic professions, had extremely fragile bodies, as if made of paper— he could cause a bloodbath with his fists alone.

He had only prepared one act and hadn’t planned to play with the Undead for too long. As a boss, it was important to make his presence felt, but maintaining a sense of mystery was equally important. Whether it be comics, novels, or games, there was one rule that was always the same: the characters that appeared later were always stronger.

Remain mysterious, and remain strong.

"Seems like there’s no play here!" The Silver Wolf got up, drew a small knife, and lunged at the Black Knight.

The sword swung again, and the knife was effortlessly flicked away.

The Black Knight sheathed his weapon: "You have earned my approval."

"Hm?" The Silver Wolf was about to throw a punch when unexpectedly, he met the requirements.

"I, succeeded?" The Silver Wolf still couldn’t quite believe it.

The Black Knight said, "Only those who do not fear death and possess a strong will are the ones I need. You’ve done well."

"Lord Black Knight, to sacrifice oneself, to not fear death, to stand against evil... uh," the Silver Wolf paused, realizing if he wasn’t mistaken, the man before him came from the Abyss, the archetype of an evil boss.

"To work for you is my honor!" The Silver Wolf quickly said.

At the same time, the live stream chat exploded with "???" yet again.

That’s something I’d do as well.

Couldn’t beat a boss, but who can’t charge forward with a suicidal attack?

The Black Knight walked away, only showing his back to the Silver Wolf.

A strand of light perfectly enveloped the Black Knight, adding a dim halo to his silhouette.

The live chat in the Silver Wolf’s stream went crazy again.

"Screen licking!"

"Shit, such a cool silhouette, is this the Branded Warrior?"

"Screenshot taken, new wallpaper."

"Now I know what to cosplay as."

However, they would never know that in order to ensure a perfect performance, Lind had spent a long time finding just the right angle and lighting. It could be said that just achieving this angle had taken more effort than the so-called "battle" they had witnessed before.

"The War of the Gods is about to commence."

"I will fight for you!" Silver Wolf quickly pledged his allegiance. Who to follow made no difference to him; previously, he had sought various Blessings and advantages from the Snake Queen, but if he could receive exclusive private missions here, his loyalty could be quite flexible.

However, the Black Knight said, "Go tell the rest of the Undead, the war has already begun. No one can stand idly by; I am willing to accept all defeated Undead."

Silver Wolf asked, "My lord, do you want to integrate all of the Undead and then launch—no, sorry, wage the Abyss War?"

"I come from the Abyss, but you do not belong to the Abyss," the Black Knight said. "War is inevitable, but it is not meant for slaughter; it’s to prepare for more powerful enemies."

Silver Wolf: "More powerful enemies? Where?"

He suddenly thought of the highly circulated Black Knight Camp mission rewards online, one of which included the option to select and proceed to Magic Land.

If there were no problems, then ultimately, Magic Land would be the real main battlefield.

"Magic Land?"

But then another doubt arose—if other powers could go to Magic Land. It was very likely they could; after all, the game wouldn’t allow a single person to monopolize the method to access a new map, especially when that person was also the BOSS. But after careful consideration, it wasn’t impossible either, since situations where a BOSS prevents access to new maps had happened before.

"The enemy is in Magic Land," said the Black Knight.

Rather than entangling the Undead in the "War of the Gods," Lind preferred that the Undead know the main storyline in advance and step out of the faction wars.

As many Undead were willing to follow the Black Knight due to his strength, there were just as many who wanted to kill him for that same strength.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, he dropped to one knee, and his Ghost Cloak violently struggled as if the golden ghosts wanted to break free from within.

Even more dramatic was the Abyssal Curse that began suffusing his body, filling the cramped space with its powerful aura.

Silver Wolf, who was closest, exclaimed, "Holy shit!"

He found himself under the effect of the Abyssal Curse, and it was accelerating. It would not take long before he’d be corrupted, turning into a genuine Abyss Monster, forcing his game character to log off and lose control permanently, necessitating a complete restart of his progression.

Luckily, Silver Wolf had enough resistance medicine prepared. Chugging several doses and continually boosting his Magic Resistance, he barely managed to maintain control without losing it.

However, Silver Wolf, along with more and more Undead in the live stream chat, were more concerned with the Black Knight who was now kneeling on one knee, seemingly in great pain. They could not understand what was happening to him.

Related to the Abyssal Curse?

"You cannot affect me!" The Black Knight’s voice was strained and filled with pain, a terrifying presence emanating in waves like a surging tide.

What kind of powerful enemy had put him in such a dire situation?

"Strength cannot touch the heart! My heart is unbreakably strong! Even if you grab my voice and heartbeat..."

He leaned on his Longsword, struggling to stand.

And when he stood, the Mad Wolf ceased, silence returned, and the air, once ridden with Curses, grew fragrant.

"Go, do not waste too much energy in this fight; we have more powerful enemies to confront."

He turned around and walked step by step into the shadows, until he was completely engulfed by darkness.

Silver Wolf couldn’t help himself and saw that many people were spamming the chat, so he asked, "Black Knight, are you from the Rand Kingdom?"

The Black Knight paused midstride, then continued forward, all while this scene was witnessed by everyone.

The Underground City closed, and Silver Wolf walked out.

Not just him; almost all of the Undead began furiously analyzing the narrative.

The Black Knight was threatened; he hoped to gather all the forces instead of engaging in the War of the Gods; he was likely the Black Knight from the Rand Kingdom.

At this moment, the Black Knight himself had already removed his helmet.

"My acting should be okay, right?"

If you wanted to cleanse your reputation, of course, it’s better to do it early.

He did not wish to be trapped as the "only BOSS" in the War of the Gods; instead, he chose to step out and make himself part of the main storyline.
