Hal who had triggered the Undead calamity and his army of over 50,000 undead creatures were surrounded by the over 300,000 demonic creature army in Atad and couldn’t move around. The demonic army composed of three parties, Demon Realm, Ghost Realm and Ancient Demon King Andrisno, completely surrounded Atad. Now, this place was a battlefield of demonic creatures. The Human Race basically had no chance to display its strength. The army of over 300,000 demonic creatures could easily sweep away any nations in the interior regions of Ximengsi Continent.

Earl Hamm and Viscount Peter who had originally been watching the battle had already withdrawn the armies under their leadership. Although they had already lost several hundred soldiers and the whereabouts of the over one thousand troops sent to the big dam of Casper River were unknown, these two aristocrats looked deathly pale, already considering forsaking their fiefs and running away. It would take only a few days for this army of over 300,000 demonic creatures to destroy Adelaide. They planned to transfer their properties and seek refuge in the nearby Augusta Empire.

In the skies, Commander Aosi of Augusta Empire’s ace legion, Olide Griffin Knight Regiment, had a very unsightly complexion while holding the unconscious Princess Ophelia. This situation was clearly beyond her control. When there had been just those 50,000 Undead troops, the method of blowing up the dam had been feasible. Now, it was impossible. 300,000 demonic creatures wouldn’t be washed away. In addition, there were a large number of flying demonic creatures. If they didn’t leave now, she guessed that her griffin knight regiment would be wiped out here.

“Withdraw, return to Casper River and be on standby.”

After a moment of silence, Commander Aosi made a difficult choice and issued a retreat. Although she was quite unwilling, she still decided to withdraw. The current situation couldn’t be reversed by Olide Griffin Knight Regiment, they could only wait for a miracle. Fortunately, those flying demonic creatures nearest to Olide Griffin Knight Regiment were under the control of the Ancient Demon King Andrisno who had specially ordered these flying demonic creatures to not pursue. If the flying demonic creatures of Ghost and Demon Realm had been here instead, then Olide Griffin Knight Regiment would have found it hard to avoid complete annihilation.

Clyde turned into his human form. Casually changing into ordinary armor and carrying a sword, he entered Atad. The main city gate had already been destroyed by the Undead troops before, so he could directly enter. Under the siege of the demonic army, the Undead army was forced to return to Atad. Now, both sides confronted each other. The most effective way to deal with this Undead calamity was Divine Realm’s Judgment Light, a miracle to purify the entire city.

However, Divine Realm’s gods couldn’t use Judgment Light to deal with the current Atad. With the existence of Demon and Ghost Realm’s demonic creatures, there would surely be a special Ghost Shaman and Dark Magic Emissary who would counter with an Extreme Dark Canopy; thus, Judgment Light wouldn’t even reach the ground. Nevertheless, since Clyde had an exclusive abyss aura, regardless of whether the creatures were Undead or demonic, all avoided him. Even approaching him had the danger of being devoured by his abyss aura. In addition, there were many black energy tentacles below his legs that would pull any rude fellows attempting to approach this Great Old One into an endless abyss.

Basically, the humans had all withdrawn. Therefore, Clyde no longer deliberately concealed his true strength. Demon and Ghost Realms had a way to deal with the Undead produced by the Undead calamity. Ghost Realm took over specters while Undead like zombies were taken by Demon Realm to use as soldiers. Their efficiency in dealing with Undead was inferior to Divine Realm’s Judgment Light, but Divine Realm’s gods worried that this would increase the combat powers of Ghost and Demon Realm. Therefore, allowing them to handle this Undead calamity was controversial.

The Undead in the streets of Atad made space on their own, giving Clyde way. Not a single Undead overrated its abilities and dared to challenge the power from the abyss. This somewhat disappointed Clyde. He had originally wanted to give a small demonstration of his impressive skills, but he hadn’t expected that the other party was so wise, not giving him any chance to make a move.

When Clyde arrived at the castellan residence of Atad, Earl Harrison’s palace, the sky was still very dark. Since this was the place from where the Undead calamity had broken out, until the Undead calamity was resolved, this place would always remain in a polar night. Only after the Undead Shaman Hal was killed would dawn come.

The guards guarding the entrance gate to Earl Harrison’s residence palace had already turned into Undead, still wearing their signature armor. After they noticed Clyde, although they violently trembled due to fear, their original guard duty made them ignore their fear and charge towards Clyde. Clyde, however, didn’t even have time to draw his sword, the abyss tentacles on the ground grabbed those Undeads’ legs, and their bodies were sucked dry on the spot. Those Undead quickly withered, then turned into ashes and dispersed.

“Too weak, to be directly sucked into ashes.”

Clyde awkwardly stopped pulling out his sword and continued to advance. After all the guards guarding the entrance gate were wiped out, Clyde entered unimpeded. He didn’t encounter the obstruction of any Undead again. When the Undead calamity had broken out, although Suzerain Earl Harrison had escaped with his kin and most of the aristocrats, because the time had been too tight, their wealth hadn’t accompanied them. The treasure house in the palace was intact: piles of gold, silver, treasures and jewels practically filled the treasure-house. This loot was enough for Clyde to make a fortune.

Although this method of making money was quite immoral, Clyde didn’t care much about it. All this unexpected wealth was directly treated as ownerless treasure. He marked the concealed treasure-house with a special mark. Later, he would make Ancient Demon King Andrisno arrange the demonic creatures under her to transport this wealth. The demonic creatures of Ghost and Demon Realm had no interest in the wealth of Human Race.

Hal had chosen his new base at the center of Earl Harrison’s palace. This third young master was quite good at dissipating a family fortune. In just a few days, he had managed to destroy the palace his old man had managed for half his life beyond recognition. If Earl Harrison learned of this, he would die from excessive anger. The ceiling of the palace center was completely destroyed, and a huge oval-shaped pale energy ball floated there, resembling a huge egg that would hatch something terrifying. Even from far away, Clyde could sense a large amount of energy from that huge egg. In addition, via the energy barrier in the periphery of the huge egg, he could vaguely see a giant standing inside the huge egg. He didn’t know what kind of terrifying experiment Hal was performing inside the huge egg, but he subconsciously picked up his speed.

** Demon King Asmode had already stopped giving energy support to Hal. Normally, an entry-level Undead Shaman couldn’t control such a terrifying demonic creature. Thus, Clyde suspected that another Demon King might have made a deal. The closer he got to the huge egg, the more he could feel the aura of a Demon King similar to Ancient Demon King Andrisno’s, so Clyde guessed that another Ancient Demon Knight had intervened in this Undead calamity.

After entering the central square, Clyde finally saw the appearance of the huge demonic creature. It was a giant type demonic creature over a hundred meters tall. Its entire body was bone, a huge standing skeleton. Looking at that skeleton, it might be comparable to the already extinct Titans in legend. However, the skeleton’s head was a huge dragon skull that had three horns. In this different world, dragons with an odd number of horns were usually evil. For instance, the three-headed demonic dragon of Demon Princess Andrea had one horn on each head.

This demonic creature was pieced together. There were a pair of huge bone wings on its back. Its head was a demonic dragon skull, its wings were dragon bone wings, and its main body was a legendary Titan’s skeleton. Its hands and legs were also demonic dragon limbs. It seemed that Titan had lost its head and limbs, leaving just the body. Thus, the other party had grafted on a demonic dragon’s limbs and head, making this weird mixed monster.

When Clyde arrived, this mixed monster was already almost complete. Its eyes emitted a blood-red radiance as if it would awaken at any time. Hal was facing his back towards Clyde and standing in the foremost sacrificial altar directly before the monster. In front of him seemed to be a blurred figure who was interacting with Hal. It looked like that mixed monster’s demonic soul.

“Excuse me, Your Excellency Hal, what are you doing here?”

“You... Clyde, you are not human... In the basement before...”

“What basement? I don’t know what you are talking about. This thing you are building is a great violation of regulations, I will help you dismantle it!”

Hal turned around and looked at Clyde with an uncertain gaze as if he didn’t understand why Clyde wanted to attack people from the same camp. Because he had sacrificed himself to initiate the Undead calamity, his originally handsome face had shriveled, and he looked incomparably older, just like those Undead. He wore an obsolete Undead Shaman’s magic robe and held a bone magic staff with his one hand and a magic crystal ball with the other.

That blurred figure hiding behind Hal disappeared after Clyde appeared. Turning into a speck of white light, it entered the huge skeleton. After that shadow entered the huge skeleton, the limbs of that huge skeleton began to shudder as if a soul had been injected. It even showed signs of going berserk.

“Even if we are from the same side, don’t think about stopping my plan. I have already waited for over ten years.”

“Forget your plan. Although this big fellow looks very strong, it is not my opponent.”

“Impossible, the power of an Ancient Demon King is invincible. Plus, it has the power of a Titan giant.”

“You truly are stubborn. Since that is the case, I will smash your delusions.”
