Chapter 697: Chapter 515: Seize the Opportunity

The ancient scroll elder tasted the agony of being besieged by the gods; their strength was not stronger than his, among them the Pirate of Dual Swords, who had once followed behind the elder.

But when the surging magic network and magic power were ignited in an instant, the elder’s scream immediately echoed throughout the mountains.

His body’s disguise was like a human skin being ripped apart.

Ana Ghost pounced on him, biting fiercely into the elder’s arm and, relying on instinct, began to roll and twist, trying to drag the other into his own mad fighting style.

The attack was swift and tricky, completely shredding the elder’s "elegance" and dragging him into the mire of fierce battle, with the surrounding assistance putting the elder at a disadvantage.

Nearby beasts, startled by the sudden outbreak of the gods’ war, hurriedly turned and fled, but not all of them, some colossal creatures like mountains still pushed forward, seemingly capable of easily trampling even the deities.

"What’s going on?"

O*O* was dumbfounded.

There’s hidden plot, and someone’s kept it a secret!

So much for undead not deceiving undead.

"Listen, the one being beaten seems to be calling for help."

An undead brave enough to approach heard the elder’s cry.

"Save me, undead, save me!"

He knew the undead too well, even believing he understood them more than anyone in this world.

"I can reward you! Give you skills, give you powerful equipment!"

Issuing a quest, offering rewards that no undead could refuse.

Now, the elder did indeed look pitiful, having the strength of level 6 rings, but his attackers also included some of level 6, the relentless assault already crazily altering the terrain.

Actually, even if the undead rushed forward now, they might not be of much help, not even touching the fray.

However, the elder was disappointed this time.

Because... a giant with a golden exclamation mark above its head appeared.

Lind Armand stood silently, his vast shadow covering the ground like a black carpet.

It’s likely a plot CG now, because deities are fighting.

"The deceitful elder of scrolls is our enemy."

Lind’s voice resounded.

You NPC versions are still too inferior, now, it’s the era of golden exclamation marks!

Whoever has this thing on their forehead holds the power of speech, and it’s completely illogical.

Maybe many people enjoy slaughtering NPCs, and some may refuse quests due to their morals or faces, but when facing a critical choice, one side is mere empty words, while the other has a golden exclamation mark on their head.

No need to think, 99% of the undead will choose to take the quest and believe in the plot development.

The golden exclamation mark unfolded automatically, turning into text.

[Quest: Defeat the elder of scrolls]

[Reward: May unlock a certain feature]

May unlock, because Lind himself wasn’t sure what exactly would be unlocked this time; everything depended on obtaining the Divine Skin from the elder.

Watching the elder surrounded and attacked, a thought arose in Lind’s heart.

Even without becoming a god, being powerful was enough.

In the game version updates, stronger monsters appear as the game progresses, though he believed this was not a real game world, the current developments fit his conjecture perfectly.

From the earliest Old Nobility to the current deities, locking oneself within a certain identity, might mean being confined.

If he had chosen to completely liberate his Old Nobility powers and transform into a creature like Dragon King Kote, he might have been very strong then, but now he would at most have the strength of level 3-4 rings, not even qualifying as a BOSS.

At least his perspective was entirely the same as that of the undead.

Since even the sleeping gods could awaken, it made no sense for the Three Gods not to, and now the deities of Magic Land aren’t taken seriously by its many strong beings, but the enemies from beyond, confirmed in the "trailer" decades later, are.

In this world, prophecy is a very mystical ability; everyone’s future holds infinite possibilities, but once you inadvertently capture one thread from these infinite futures, the future will unconsciously lean towards that direction.

The undead crossed the wall of flames, some burned instantly due to their short health bars, others made it through relying on their physical strength, then drank potions on the spot to regain health.

Boom!

The elder of scrolls was smashed to the ground, his body exploded into blobs of watercolor, writhing in the wall of flames.

The undead attempted to approach, but unexpectedly, the watercolors swiftly rushed towards them.

Tentacles actively reached out and pulled the undead into the swirling watercolors.

Their health bars rapidly cleared to zero, but the watercolor slowly grew larger.

"This thing can kill to regain health, guys, don’t send yourselves to death!"

"Use long-range bombardment!"

"Any tanks, help hold it off."

"Now you know how good we knight dads are, daddy is coming!"

The knight, clad in armor glowing with various magic lights, strode forward, inserting uniquely shaped shields into the ground; the shields connected tightly, forming a steel wall.

Long blades extended from the gaps.

The undead could be forever mad, but also forever calm.

Behind them, wizards crazily cast spells, rubbing fireballs covering the sky.

"Drive them back! Absolutely can’t let them regain health, control it!"

"Protect the beast, can’t let it be eaten."

Survivors of the Eternal Summer Nest watched the battlefield, seeing the undead go from chaos to order, admiring their fearless combat.
