Chapter 228: The evil god extends his tentacles
Translator: 549690339
Main material world, Noah continent, bone wilderness.
The gray-white air was swirling in the air, and there were layers of thick gray clouds in the sky.
It was noon on the Noah continent, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky, releasing endless light and heat that shone on the earth below. However, there was still no sunlight in this dead and gray wilderness.
The wind was strong in the high sky, but it could do nothing to the thick, dark clouds that blocked the sun.
This was no ordinary cloud.
They were the condensation of all kinds of negative emotions released by countless dead people at the moment of death. They were the terrifying death and dark spiritual energy.
Some of the faster but slower ordinary birds would plunge into the gray clouds and fall from it in the blink of an eye if they were not careful … In the form of a skeleton bird or a rotten bird, they would become a part of the white bone wilderness.
In order to dispel the dense negative spiritual energy, the light Pope, who was a legendary master, had exhausted all his energy.
That day, the gray clouds in the sky were much thinner, but they quickly returned to their original state.
The Pope’s holy light magic was not enough to wipe out the hatred of the dead.
Under the gray clouds.
Countless undead creatures were wandering here.
Skeleton warriors, undead mages, undead knights, vengeful spirits, specters, Lich …
This was a paradise for the undead, a paradise for the dead.
Once the special bone wilderness was formed, it was like a gray scar on the earth, and it was slowly spreading towards the surrounding area. The undead carried their hatred towards the living and their disgust towards living creatures, wanting to destroy all the beauty and turn this place into a dead world.
There were already many defensive fortifications built by the Alliance of human nations and the Church of Light around the bone wilderness.
The only purpose of the continuous city walls was to prevent a sudden attack from the spirits.
Fortunately, the undead monarch had yet to appear in the white bone wilderness, so the fortifications had only suffered sporadic attacks.
But even so, with the danger of the white bone wasteland, no one would take any chances.
The undead and the living were two life forms that could not co-exist peacefully.
Many of the humans who set foot in the white bone wilderness had already died in the gloomy air and were then transformed into undead by the death aura.
However, there were still brave and fearless human Paladins in such a forbidden area.
The spiritual energy of death was too dense, and it was constantly expanding.
If he didn’t care, then the white bone wasteland would go out of control and devour life at a rapid speed.
The power of the blood sacrifice array, which was enough to seal a God, had fused with the desolate land with the death of Halius.
In order to control this process, the Church of Light had kept the concentration of death aura within an acceptable range. They had been dispatching Paladins and priests to continuously kill the higher level undead in the undead territory.
Then, they worked together with some human soldiers to clear out the ordinary unintelligent skeletons.
As such, even though they were unable to uproot the entire white bone wasteland, they were able to control the speed of its spread and were even reducing its size.
According to this process, if nothing unexpected happened in the middle, many years later, this dead and silent bone wilderness might become the scenic and fertile baki Plains, once again becoming the Granary of the human dukedoms.
However, if nothing unexpected happened …
An accident was about to happen.
A small team of Paladins rode on tall warhorses and led a priest in a white robe. They charged into the depths of the white bone wilderness, killing ferocious and pale skeletons.
They had just returned from the icy Plains of the extreme north.
After investigating the place, they left the barren and harsh Thule because they did not find any traces of the evil god statue.
Now, all the major countries had suffered great losses because of the destruction of the Allied forces, and their National Strength had not been restored for a long time. Traces of war were still left on the devastated southern land.
Famine, plague, bandits, monsters, evil dragons … All sorts of events were causing everyone to be in a terrible fix.
The Church of Light did not interfere in the war, but they did not hesitate to help the human countries in recovering from their post-war injuries. However, they were always short of manpower.
Searching for the evil God’s sculpture, controlling the white bone wasteland, and stabilizing the post-war situation … The Church of Light had been very busy during this period.
The temple was empty, and the Knights and priests were scattered all over the disaster area.
The team that had just returned to the continent from the icy Plains of the extreme north received a new mission to clear out the undead before they could rest.
As brave and passionate Paladins, they didn’t have any complaints. They rushed to the bone wilderness without stopping to fight with the endless undead.
However, as the backbone of the force, the Paladins were not sent out casually every time.
Some information showed that some undead creatures that were wandering around unconsciously in the depths of the bone wilderness were gathering towards the center.
The Church of Light, which dealt with evil creatures all year round, was very clear about what this situation represented.
A high-level undead had been born.
The Paladins stationed in the white bone wasteland had the main task of purifying and eliminating the high-level undead that were just born.
As long as there were no high-level spirits of the dead, the terrifying sea of spirits of the dead would not form.
As a believer of the God of Light, no matter if it was a Holy Knight’s Holy oath spell or a priest’s light theurgy, they had a strong killing effect on the undead.
