The brave man opened the coffin and rose

"coming……"

Abes was not unaware that if he wanted to cut off the main line of the "fiber optic cable", he would definitely encounter obstruction.

What he didn't expect was that the enemy came from the sky, from the star realm that they could no longer reach.

People on earth cannot reach the starry ocean shrouded in silver light mist, but the help of the God of Wilderness can come from the starry sky?

What kind of unreasonable one-way door is this?

As a wild god, it would be fine for him to project his unrecognized beliefs and divine power, but being able to directly project living beings is another matter.

In just a moment, the blue sky and white clouds that had originally regained their true scenery were immediately covered by dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending catastrophe.

Black lightning streaked through the clouds, as if the devil's minions were tearing the sky apart.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard in the sky. The sound was like countless evil spirits roaring, shocking everyone.

As the roar intensified, the black light waves carrying the scanning state of the undead dead tree also accelerated.

Finally, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and endless darkness poured out of the crack, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

Immediately afterwards, countless undead creatures emitting deathly aura swarmed out from the cracks, spreading rapidly like a black tide.

“…That’s not surprising.”

This is not surprising.

Originally, Abes was still secretly complaining in his heart that it was a bit too much for the God of Wilderness to be able to directly project living beings in addition to projecting faith and divine power.

But after seeing that the target is an undead creature, those questions can be answered.

To reach the surface of a planet's continent from the astral realm in the material plane, one needs to cross the vacuum void of the desolate universe.

As the Desolate Universe has expanded nearly ten million times compared to a thousand years ago, only undead creatures can cross it at high speed in their physical bodies.

Of course, crossing the star realm across the vast universe and then arriving near the surface of the earth is still different from real-life aerospace technology.

With the existence of magic, we can ignore a series of problems caused by the theory of relativity at high speeds, such as time slowing down, length and width compression, and redshift and blueshift in visual color.

There is no need to consider the problem of high heat damage caused by the friction of the sudden drop in the atmosphere and the problem of black barriers hindering communications.

This is why, after the undead creatures arrived, they still retained some of their biomass.

The worst case scenario is that such a huge number has exceeded the critical value of undead creatures - the qualitative change triggered by the quantitative change is about to happen.

Sure enough, after entering the distance within which he could observe, Abes could see the various forms of these undead creatures.

The most basic ones are zombies and skeletons, whose bodies are covered with rotten skin or with exposed white bones.

But further on, it becomes unusual.

A huge skeleton warrior, holding a rusty weapon, with green flames burning in his eye sockets;

There are also a large number of translucent and unclear existences. Abes speculates that they should be a set of ghosts, spirits and shadows.

They float silently in the air, emitting icy cold air.

The number was so huge that it covered the sky like a swarm of locusts and landed on the ground in dense masses.

On the ground, the already unpleasant forest of dead trees looked even more eerie and terrifying with the arrival of these undead creatures.

In just a few seconds, every branch of the tree was hung with these undead creatures, as if they had become their natural nests.

And at this point, if you say that Abes still doesn't know what's going on, you'd be less than a perceptive hero.

The Dream God is not a professional in controlling undead creatures.

Then there is only one conclusion, that these massive undead creatures came from the Breland family.

Contribute or sacrifice the generated undead creatures to the God of Wilderness, and then use the "contribution" of your own sacrifice to let the power of the God of Wilderness "deliver" to you.

In this way, you can airdrop the undead creatures you have on hand over a large area without leaving your home.

It was by this means that they created the dead dead trees as transit nodes and extended a false illusion of dozens of miles around the Breland family.

The power of dreams, which should not have been able to affect reality, also gained a certain bonus due to the surge in the number of undead creatures.

When the number of undead creatures exceeds a certain threshold, a death aura that makes people feel uncomfortable will be born.

The initial stage is just fear and panic, which can be easily solved by using auxiliary spells such as Lion's Heart;

Then there is the fake scenery of "network signal coverage" released by the dead dead tree as a "router" that Abes and his friends encountered;

After it is raised to the limit, it seems that instant death can be achieved just by relying on the death aura.

----------

"Let's start fighting. I'm afraid I don't have the time to look after you."

There was no time given to Abes and his men. After the undead creatures arrived, as they climbed up from the branches of the dead trees in the forest, they charged forward, howling.

The most hateful thing is that these undead creatures are not disorderly, but are organized into battle formations in an orderly manner, as if they were a strictly trained army.

This is also the manifestation after reaching certain thresholds, an improvement in intelligence.

To grow from a soldier who can only wield weapons to one who learns to fight in formation, all that is required is a simple accumulation of numbers.

And if the number increases by another 10% or 20%, perhaps among them there will be individuals with sufficient intelligence to cast spells.

Fortunately, not yet.

Unfortunately, the crack in the sky shows no signs of shrinking, and is instead growing larger.

More undead creatures poured out, so many that they seemed to drown the entire world.

Some gigantic undead creatures descended slowly like mountains. Every time they took a step, the ground shook violently, as if the entire earth was shaking.

A black torrent swept over him, and Abes had no time to think more.

They drew their weapons and embraced the devastating battle.

The effects of fear and despair of the death aura should not be able to affect them.

But those visual impacts still came irreversibly.

"Don't be afraid, Soran. Didn't you successfully touch the boundary of the time mage before?"

"Keep fighting, your chance to become a superhuman may come today."

Clatter. Clatter.

That was not the sound of waves, but the sound of starving undead creatures climbing down the branches of dead trees at an alarming speed, as if countless evil spirits were crawling out from the depths of Hell.

"Prepare to defend and engage the enemy!"

however……

Abes looked at the rusty shields and spears in the front row, and realized something in his heart.

The undead creatures that hated the living did not pounce on them and bite them immediately.

Instead, they let those guys who were equipped with defensive weapons and equipment reach the front and form a solid line of defense...

What is this for?

Swish!

This time, the sound of breaking through the air came again.

And Abes finally raised his head suddenly.

It's an arrow!

The shield soldiers held off and the enemies were harvested from a distance. These tactics that he often used actually appeared on the enemies at this moment. They were undead creatures that were supposed to be brainless?

A genuine feeling of frustration rose up in his heart, but the danger did not give him any more time to sigh.

The skeleton archers in the back row shot corrosive arrows with bows. The arrows drew black-gray or black-purple tracks in the air, bringing the breath of death towards them.

"Don't be held back by the shield, retreat and defend!"

Abes shouted, then swung the sword in his hand and rushed towards the skeleton warrior rushing in the front.

The rest of the people also quickly formed a defensive formation.

The only difference from the previous time when he commanded the warriors to fight was that none of the people present carried a shield.

If we insist on carrying on, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

But fortunately, even if it is a temporary team, it can be regarded as under the command of Abes, so the means used to apply buffs can still be used.

One of the means that Abes can use is to use the blessing of the troops to bless them with combat tactics.

The corresponding tactics for the Barbarian are to increase attack speed and movement speed, which is not suitable for use here.

Abes originally planned to seize the opportunity to use the combat method corresponding to the bard class, Rest Song, to give them a chance to recover after being damaged.

Just at this moment, he saw from the golden shadow in front of him the combat methods corresponding to the priest profession that he had not used yet.

This is……

Under the Banner of God

As long as you are within a certain range of the commander, you can gain a comprehensive resistance bonus.

It is it.

"superficial……"

For a moment, the people around Abes easily used their body or weapon skills to resist the attacks of the undead creatures.

At the same time, after that wave of corrosive arrows fell, the front of the enemy team began to fall into chaos.

In this case, they have the opportunity to fight back.

Feeling that his body would remain unharmed even if hit by the enemy, Bai Renchou took the first step to attack.

He swung the silver sword in his hand, and the nightmare ashes that flew along with his weapon were slashed and hit a skeleton warrior's neck fiercely, causing bones to fly everywhere.

But the brief pause of this skeleton warrior did not prevent other enemies around him from continuing to swing their spears at him.

At this time, Anivia and Soran both used bows and arrows to shoot at the skeleton archers in the distance, trying to shoot down their firepower.

However, the skeleton archers' resistance to piercing damage made them feel as if they had no sense of pain. Even when hit by arrows, they continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows mechanically.

At the same time, the companions around Abes also seemed to be the same as each other because of the existence of the priest's tactics.

"Well, they all have resistance, and they can't break the moves."

After a lot of effort, Abes's giant sword split or smashed the head of a skeleton warrior.

But then, more undead creatures surged forward.

Even though he continued to swing his weapon, the blade drew streaks of silver light in the air, and every swing was accompanied by the sound of bones or rotting biomass breaking.

However, the number of undead creatures was so great that it seemed endless.

----------

After these regular small undead creatures, the larger ones finally slowly arrived through the cracks.

A sharp whistle came from not far away. Abes turned around suddenly and saw a huge skeleton knight riding a warhorse also made of bones rushing towards him.

The whistling sound is the sound of wind passing through the skeleton.

The Skeleton Knight held a huge bone lance, the top of which was flashing a faint green light and carrying a strong aura of death.

The skeleton knights were extremely fast, and the sound of their horses' hooves was as deafening as thunder. They soon rushed in front of Abes.

Abes gritted his teeth and decided to face the Skeleton Knight's attack head-on.

His giant sword and the skeleton knight's lance collided in the air, but since they were not made of metal, there was naturally no spark flying.

But the faint green light was like a will-o'-the-wisp. Every time it collided, it spread out some death aura and sparks.

The continuous infusion of negative energy from the death aura caused Abes's wrist strength to gradually decline.

As a result, during the fight, something happened that actually caused Abes's arm to become numb.

However, he knew he could not retreat, because if he took a step back, his companions behind him would be in greater danger.

At the same time, the number of larger undead creatures and undead creatures such as ghosts, spirits and shadows that are relatively less vulnerable to physical attacks has also increased.

Bai Renchou was accidentally stabbed by the skeleton warrior's rusty spear, and blood gushed out.

Things like tetanus are nothing in the magical world. Any magical herb, spell or potion can easily solve these potential problems.

However, not having to worry about tetanus does not mean that being injured is okay. Bleeding, pain, and difficulty in controlling limbs for a short period of time are all things that will affect the battle situation.

And if you die directly, then you really don't have to worry about tetanus.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, using his last bit of strength to chop off the skeleton warrior's head.

The two guys beside him, who were obviously not rangers, also used a string of arrows to create a chance for the hundred-man enemy to catch their breath.

After Abes finally survived the first wave of large undead skeleton cavalry, the second wave of even more troublesome large undead creatures arrived.

It carries huge bony wings on its back, and the flapping of its wings creates strong winds that sway the treetops and make creepy sounds.

Bone dragon.

There was a faint green flame burning in his eye sockets, as if the god of death was staring at the world.

At this moment, a huge connecting bridge seemed to be formed between the sky and the earth, and countless undead creatures descended continuously through this bridge.

Abes has never been afraid of the dark, or the breath of despair.

But now, when every corner of their vision was covered by the shadows of these undead creatures, it seemed that there was really no light that could illuminate their hope.

puff!

As the wings of the bone dragon flapped again and emitted a dark green death aura, Abes, who had already accumulated many layers of debuffs due to the long battle with the skeleton cavalry, was once again attacked by another wave of death aura.

And this time...

The undead aura that had been accumulated on Abes for a long time finally brought the debuff to the highest level.

The effect of the fifth level of death aura is—

Instant death!
