Chapter 54: 46. Strong killing intent from the wall

Translator: 549690339

There were less than 30 minutes left before the Undead Revival on the first underground level.

The Imperial Army had finally wiped out the Undead on the third underground level.

A large number of Air Purification Devices were installed all around the Tomb Hall by the soldiers.

Rolling white fog enveloped the remnants of the Undead, quickly dispersing the yellow-green poisonous fog.

It was time to deal with the Death Notice assassins on top of the tower.

Noland Lee practiced the “Soul Shield” spell blueprint in his mind while standing up and hiding in the defensive shelter with Mars and others, aiming their firearms at the two figures on top of the tower from a distance.

The Death Priest was in poor condition.

His figure was hunched and sluggish.

The death energy flowing from his fingertips was now intermittent and nearly transparent, giving a sense of impending exhaustion.

As for the Death Notice assassin who had undergone the Undead Transformation Ritual, his skin was already dark gray, his eyes were blood-red, and his smirks were both unrestrained and mad, clearly full of energy.

The Undead Runes, woven into “tattoos” covered every inch of his body.

Although his size had not changed much, these sinister and striking undead runes exuded a breath of destruction that should not be underestimated.

“That Death Priest is nearly done for,” Corporal Mars frowned, pointing at the swaying figure, “It looks like he’s transferred all the death energy inside him to the Death Notice Assassin.”

Noland Lee asked in confusion:

“Isn’t he afraid of being killed by us? Can he really escape from the collapsing underworld cavern entrance?”

Corporal Mars shook his head:

“No, he doesn’t need to run. We can only defeat his physical body here, but we can’t really kill him. So him dying here makes no difference from escaping. I don’t know the principle, but that’s what Sergeant Major Alvin Stafford told me.”

Noland Lee pondered.

It sounded like some kind of clone spell, or a spell puppet, or even a long-range resurrection spell.

He wasn’t quite sure which one it was.

Since there were too many spells that could achieve this effect in the fantasy works, he saw before crossing over.

“Hmm–”

A deep cold wind blew from the direction of the Spirit Pivot, carrying a nauseating smell and a chilling coldness.

Noland Lee ???????????? his senses and looked up with a slightly focused gaze.

He saw the Death Priest withdraw his palm from the Death Notice assassin. He turned around, raised his bone staff, and faced the Imperial Army with a pale and withered dead face.

A black whirlwind suddenly appeared at the feet of the Death Priest.

This whirlwind spiraled upward, quickly engulfing the Death Priest’s body.

Wind blades sliced his body like sharp blades, and countless fragments were swept away, pooling into the floating bone staff above him.

“What is he doing?” Noland Lee was a bit confused by the situation before him.

The other members of Mars Squad were in a daze; Corporal Mars was no exception.

Standing in the center of the defense line, Lieutenant Grett suddenly shouted to the soldiers:

“Attention, everyone! The Death Priest has sacrificed himself to his evil wand!

All of you, hurry up and…”

Before Lieutenant Grett could finish speaking, dozens of sturdy stone walls rose thunderously from the ground!

The stone walls continued to rise, banging against the ceiling.

In just three to five seconds, these stone walls divided the third underground level into dozens of closed areas.

Several Imperial Soldiers were caught off guard and were crushed into a pulp by the sudden stone walls against the ceiling.

The frontline positions of the Imperial Army were cut apart by tall stone walls.

Just as Noland Lee managed to steady his footing from the shock of the stone walls, a new change occurred at the Spirit Pivot!

A large amount of yellow-green poisonous fog jetted out from the top of the Spirit Pivot, mixing with the white fog emitted by the purification devices.

As the poisonous fog gradually gained the upper hand, it pushed the white smoke back into the purification devices.

With crackling noises, the Air Purification Devices exploded into a shower of sparks, and then burst open with a bang.

The falling poisonous fog completely destroyed the Air Purification Devices!

But it didn’t stop there.

Noland Lee glanced at his Personal Panel.

Unknowingly, a familiar negative effect appeared on his panel.

It was the mental negative effect that could limit the range of sight and hearing — “Perception Obstruction.”

On the battlefield, Lieutenant Grett’s voice was blocked by the stone walls, and the figures of other soldiers were also hidden behind the walls.

All members of Mars Squad, however, were still together, not separated by the stone walls.

As everyone was puzzled and uncertain, the experienced Noland Lee and Corporal Mars were the first to calm down.

“My field of vision has become very narrow, I can only see things within one or two meters nearby, is it the same for you guys?” Corporal Mars asked in a deep voice.

Everyone responded affirmatively.

It seemed that everyone’s vision was limited, but their hearing remained normal.

“In that case, everyone, gather around me and do not act separately.” The squad members assembled around the team commander.

Corporal Mars looked around at his squad members:

“You all must have seen the stone walls that emerged from the ground, blocking our path. This situation is similar to Jarvis being trapped in the Stone Tomb.

“My idea is to use bombs to blast some walls and join the nearest engineering squad as soon as possible, as they have more bombs.

Everyone nodded.

“Alright then.” Corporal Mars pointed in a direction, “Let’s start by blasting that wall, I remember the engineer squad is in that direction.”

“Boom.”

The muffled explosion sound came from the direction Corporal Mars pointed to.

“Huh, is the engineer squad also blasting walls?” Corporal Mars made a “stay alert” gesture and led the way out of the cover.

Noland Lee, holding a revolver, walked at the end of the team.

Another “boom” sounded, this time clearer, and indeed came from the direction of the engineer squad.

However, separated by several walls, the sound was somewhat blurry, making it difficult for people to judge whether the other party was blasting walls or bombing enemies.

Mars Squad cautiously approached the stone wall.

“Boom!”

Corporal Mars put his ear against the wall, listened attentively, and asked Sergeant Mike Adams who was close to him:

“Something’s wrong. Did you hear the scream just now?”

Sergeant Mike Adams nodded:

“I did, there was definitely a scream.”

As soon as Sergeant Mike Adams’ words fell, Corporal Mars’ face drastically changed due to something he heard from behind the wall:

“Quickly retreat! That’s not the sound of explosions! Big Skeleton is smashing the wall! Comi, prepare the Bee Syrup Bomb!”

“Boom!”

A huge bone hammer covered in flesh and blood smashed through the stone wall.

Debris splattered, and dust filled the air.

Corporal Mars, who was closest to the wall, was sent flying by the hammer and landed somewhere unknown.

Noland Lee, being farther away, had enough reaction time.

After hearing Corporal Mars’ call, Noland Lee immediately rolled over and then sprinted, quickly hiding behind the cover.

Looking towards where the giant hammer appeared, darkness filled Noland Lee’s vision.

The “Perception Obstruction” stubbornly restricted his field of view, making it impossible for him to see the situation in the distance.

This was a big problem…

Noland Lee’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

It wasn’t that he was in trouble, but Corporal Mars and the others.

With the “Mark of Resentment” on him, Noland Lee was not afraid of the undead causing trouble.

As long as he did not encounter any intelligent undead, he was definitely the safest person on the scene..
