From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead - Chapter 175 Dark Faction

“It is said that all those who obtained the power of the Bull of Heaven in the spiral of contradictions quickly broke through their original levels and finally became sages and brave men…GuluGulu!”

After taking a few sips of ale, Rex shook his head, “It’s a pity that the power of the same mythical creature cannot give birth to a second demon…”

The bull of heaven, the devil…

Philip was fascinated by what he heard and asked: “Rex, haven’t you tried to obtain the power of the Bull of Heaven?”

“I want to, but there’s no chance.” The male mage smiled.

“The inherited power of the Bull of Heaven seems to have been taken away by generations of powerful adventurers as early as ancient times. The ultimate trial related to it has not been opened again for thousands of years.

“Some people speculate that even if there is still power left, we can only wait until the legendary doomsday is coming, and then the ruins will start the last ultimate trial in order to give birth to new heroes.”

Rex lowered his voice and said to the boy:

“When that time comes, I’m afraid the entire Orario and the adventurers in the underground labyrinth will be plunged into war.”

“War? Why?” Philip looked surprised.

“You are a newcomer, so you may not know…”

Rex’s eyes narrowed, “The Adventurer’s Guild also has enemies, and those enemies hidden in the shadows and crowds are more dangerous than monsters.”

——Barbara also said this!

When I first looked at the mission bounty list, the female mage said almost the same thing about many of the wanted criminals on it.

Philip became even more curious, “Rex, who are the enemies of the guild?”

“That is a topic that is forbidden to be mentioned and spread – the dark faction.”

Rex tapped his fingers on the table. An invisible soundproof shield isolated the two of them from the outside world.

“Unlike the adventurer guild that believes in the gods, the adventurers of the dark faction… let’s call them adventurers, believe in the devil.

“If the Adventurer’s Guild exists to resist the invasion of monsters in the labyrinth, then the Dark Faction’s purpose is the opposite, to completely unblock the labyrinth.

“I don’t know exactly when they appeared, but it should go back at least hundreds of years, right?

“The legendary necromancer who was punished by the guild should be a big figure in the early days of the dark faction. He almost slaughtered all the people of a magic empire and turned it into a ritual to sacrifice demons…”

ah?

Phillip was stunned and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

After being stunned for a while, he recalled the information he had received before and asked in surprise: “Can people from the dark faction enter the ruins?”

“certainly.”

Rex said: “The ruins can’t tell whether you are a normal person or a hidden demonic fanatic, and even the guild can’t distinguish you.

“The guild is stronger in the open. The dark factions are mixed in the crowd of adventurers, or hiding in the maze ruins, dormant in the dark, growing in strength.

“Have you ever seen the guild’s mission list? Eight out of ten wanted criminals on it are related to the dark faction. Before they were exposed, they all looked like normal adventurers!”

Is that so?

Philip was in a daze. These things were too new for him and overturned some of his previous understanding.

Rex took a sip of his drink and said calmly:

“If the trial of the Bull of Heaven appears again in the conflict spiral, it will definitely attract all those hiding in the dark.

“After all, that means the real doomsday is coming. Many people speculate that the so-called doomsday comes from the underground labyrinth, which means the labyrinth unlocks the seal.

“No matter what, the belief in gods and demons will grow unprecedentedly, and war will definitely break out in this final era.

“And as long as you gain the power of the Bull of Heaven, new sages and brave men will almost certainly be born.

“No matter what, even if the entire ruins are overturned, the dark faction and the guild will definitely get it.”

…

On the other side, there is a lakeside somewhere on the outskirts of Orario.

[A total of 4 low-level monster illustrations have been collected, experience +200, free points +1]

[Successfully evade for one day, experience +20, strength +0.2]

After adding points to attributes, the basic values ​​of the panel are as follows:

【War Lord lv26】

【Strength: 130】

【Physique: 129】

[Agility: 129]

[Experience value: 4435/8530]

Wisps of energy flowed from the void into the body, and Roja felt that he had become a little stronger.

However, the illustrations for floors 21-26 have almost been collected so far. The leisurely “check-in” life has been suspended, and he needs to continue to conquer the floors below.

“Time is running out, you’d better break through now.”

While Roja was making rather excessive demands, he held a sharp sword and pointed it at the sweating and panting black-haired boy opposite.

As the saying goes, a strict teacher makes a good disciple, especially when it comes to training a warrior who faces life and death all the time. He felt that he could not be tolerant.

“Teacher…I feel like I’ve reached my limit…”

Hal knelt on the ground, bent over and holding his sword, out of breath.

His clothes were soaked all over, and big beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead like raindrops.

Even though he had a special physique and amazing recovery power, he was still exhausted long ago after fighting the sleepless undead for two days.

Looking back in time, Roja only used the hourglass three or four times and did not use it wantonly to prevent Hal from being numb to death and pain and losing his fear and awe.

“I am not your teacher now, I am the enemy you want to defeat.”

After saying that, Roja stepped forward and stabbed with his sword.

“Qiang!” Hal raised his sword to block, but was kicked away the next second.

He fell to the ground and tried to get up, but his abdominal muscles seemed to have no strength at all, and he couldn’t get up after several attempts.

“Sorry, teacher…”

Looking at the young man lying on the ground, completely exhausted, Roja sighed in his heart.

The swordsmanship and combat experience taught by myself will naturally be no problem.

Hal is hard-working, obedient and talented, and his strength has improved rapidly.

——He can get at least two scars now.

But breaking through the realm, even for people with good talent, is not something they can do if they want to.

He also asked the Lich about Hal’s teaching, but as knowledgeable as the Skeleton Mage, there was no better way.

After all, not everyone has a panel where they can clearly see their proficiency and progress bar, and there is no bottleneck in improvement…

at this time,

“Gudong!”

The sound of falling water could be heard on the lake in the distance, and the sound of water waves continued to sound.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

“What happened?” Hal lay on the ground and turned around to look.

He was surprised to find that on the lake in the distance, there seemed to be a small white figure struggling in the water, causing large waves.

“Someone has fallen into the water and is calling for help.” Luo Ya said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cry for help sounded in the distance:

“Help! Help! Help me…”

The voice sounded sharp and childish, like the voice of a little girl.

“Teacher!” The young man looked at Roja anxiously.

“I won’t save him. If you want to save someone, go do it yourself!” Roja said firmly.

“Why……”

Hal’s eyes widened, as if in disbelief.

“Hal.”

Roja said calmly: “You can be a hero if you want, but you can’t expect others to be a hero for you if you can’t do it yourself.

“My only responsibility is to use every possible method to train you to become stronger. Other than that, you can’t expect me to do anything.”

“Help! Help! Hoo Gulu…”

The figure on the lake in the distance seems to be unable to hold on any longer, and the water splash is getting smaller and smaller.

“Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho…”

At this moment, the boy lying on the ground suddenly contracted his pupils and began to gasp more violently.

He moved his limbs and tried to get up from the ground little by little. The skin all over his body began to turn red quickly, and a trace of white mist even appeared above his head.

In Roya’s vision,

The “blood energy” in Hal’s body began to rapidly expand and grow, and more power continued to gush out from the depths of his body.

That look was like going berserk.

The boy stood up, rushed out quickly, and jumped into the river without hesitation.

“Plop! Crash, clatter, clatter…”

He swung his limbs vigorously and swam quickly towards the figure whose struggle was getting weaker and weaker. His strong and agile figure was like a brave and fierce big fish.

Roja stared at the young man’s back and let out a long sigh of relief.

He really admired people like Hal…

…

“What is this?!”

The boy who came back from swimming in the lake had a look of confusion on his face.

There was a white ghost that looked like a little girl, hugging him happily and rubbing against him affectionately.

This is the little ghost who received the seal from Chris’s mansion. It has a high IQ, so it can complete complex orders issued by the lich.

Roja said calmly: “I haven’t seen any wild water ghosts that like to play tricks. If you don’t like keeping pets, just let them go.”

“…”

Hal opened his mouth, and finally rolled his eyes at Roja.
