Chapter 1 Confrontation

Kodieger was not so amicable when facing Joe Elm.

He glared at Joe Elm fiercely. If looks could kill, Joe Elm would have been tortured to death hundreds of times over.

Kodieger stared at Joe Elm's right hand and vowed that when he had enough strength to defeat this Heavenly Calamity, he would definitely chop that right hand off!

Because he had clearly seen that this was the hand that had touched Anlea's small hand and pinched Anlea's cheek!

"Patience! In Great Xia, Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between legs, and King Goujian of Yue tasted gall while sleeping on brushwood. I, Kodieger, will be the Han Xin and Goujian of the Western Alliance!"

Kodieger secretly warned himself.

Joe Elm had no idea that there was an Oscar-worthy actor with a rich inner life following behind him. After he entered Sunset Town, the corpses that had been wandering around instantly stopped and stared at Joe Elm with their dead eyes.

Divin and Kodieger followed as well, with Kodieger tightly protecting Anlea behind him.

As they stepped into the town entrance, deep within Sunset Town, a gaunt man suddenly opened his eyes.

He was skin and bones, his eye sockets deeply sunken. Without context, many would mistake him for a mummy at first glance.

The man's eyes flickered with a green glow, making him look incredibly eerie.

"One King-level, six High-level? I warned you all... Since you insist on ruining my plans, then stay here and become nourishment!"

The man stood up, threw on a black robe, and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, the eyes of the townspeople instantly turned red, and they all pounced towards Joe Elm and the others.

These townspeople could still move, but they were already dead, merely manipulated puppets. Joe Elm naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

The Chi Yan Hammer in his hand pulsed with a powerful heartbeat, and then with a sudden swing, the corpses of the townspeople in front of him were all cremated on the spot by the flames on the Chi Yan Hammer.

Anlea wasn't idle either. The holy light she shot out could melt even zombie black dragons, let alone these ordinary corpses.

"Be careful... I have a faint feeling that something is wrong!"

However, after resolving the rampaging corpses, Joe Elm's expression became solemn.

Because he smelled the scent of undead creatures in the darkness, the stench of hell!

"Hmph! Just a few corpses, if you're scared, go back to school now, we don't need you! Anlea has me to protect her!" Kodieger sneered.

Joe Elm glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

Kodieger, seeing this, raised his head like a victorious rooster.

But the next second, he suddenly felt an extreme danger! Kodieger instinctively ducked his head, and then felt a chill on his head!

Kodieger reached up and found that the hair on the top of his head was completely gone!

A bone knife flew past his scalp. If he hadn't instinctively ducked his head, the knife would have hit his head!

"Who is it? Sneaking around, show yourself!"

Kodieger vented his inner fear with a loud roar.

The bone knife flashed a ghastly white light under the moonlight, then spun around a few times like a boomerang and flew back to be grasped by a bony hand.

The bony hand was covered with metal armor, and beneath the rusty armor was a huge skeleton two meters tall, holding a hideous shield in its left hand.

Skeleton General!

Joe Elm immediately recognized the undead creature. The Skeleton General could almost be considered the strongest combat force among skeletons.

Being able to summon a Skeleton General meant that the necromancer hiding in the dark was at least High-level!

"It's a necromancer! Quick, leave, we can't stay here!"

Divin also reacted at this moment, directly drawing his broadsword, his face full of apprehension.

Although he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Joe Elm, Divin cared more about the safety of the goddess Anlea than Joe Elm.

They were in the open, and the enemy was in the dark. A prepared necromancer could display a combat power that would amaze everyone.

However, the necromancer clearly didn't intend to let them go. In the blink of an eye, two undead giant kun blocked their path, cutting off their retreat.

Then, countless corpses涌了出来 from all directions. Some of these corpses had rotted into skeletons, and some still had tattered flesh hanging on them. There were human corpses, as well as the corpses of some beasts.

These corpses were different from those townspeople! Those townspeople were just ordinary people, but the auras emanating from these corpses ranged from Apprentice-level to High-level, and even one corpse emitted a King-level aura!

Without a doubt, these were all enemies who had been killed by the necromancer hiding in the dark. After their deaths, they were all enslaved and turned into undead soldiers, forming an undead army!

Joe Elm and the others had been completely surrounded by the undead army.

Undead creatures summoned from the undead world or hell have a time limit unless they are placed in an undead space; otherwise, once the time is up, they must return to their original undead world.

But corpses like these, which are killed and then enslaved, can exist indefinitely as long as they are not destroyed, because they originally belong to this world.

This is also one of the most frightening aspects of necromancers. In recent years, there have been necromancers who have lost their humanity and have continuously and indiscriminately killed innocent people in order to strengthen themselves.

"Follow me, we'll break through!"

Divin's expression changed drastically, and with a loud shout, he directly shattered several undead soldiers with a single slash and rushed out. But the King-level undead soldier had long been eyeing Divin and attacked him with a whoosh.

"Damn it!"

Divin was entangled tightly. His broadsword could only splash sparks and a few pieces of stinky flesh on the King-level undead soldier, but he couldn't knock it down at all.

After a living person becomes an undead creature, in addition to losing their minds, the biggest characteristic is that they no longer have fatal weaknesses. Even if their hands and feet are broken, they can still get up and continue fighting.

For the time being, Divin had no way to get rid of the King-level undead soldier's entanglement.

Anlea's Wrath of the Gods was constantly firing. Her pretty face was already a little pale. It was true that her holy light could restrain all undead creatures, and even the Skeleton General couldn't block Anlea's arrow.

But each arrow consumed her stamina and energy. The number of undead army was too large. Water can extinguish fire, but there must be enough water. Anlea's power alone was obviously a drop in the bucket.

Joe Elm had long since disappeared into the darkness. With the power of the six paths activated, not to mention the undead army, even Divin and the others didn't notice that they were missing someone. Having a presence of 0 was not a joke.

Joe Elm hid himself, of course, not to abandon his teammates. As a fellow necromancer, he knew very well that it was better to directly solve the necromancer himself than to waste effort killing those undead creatures.

Looking at the silvery moonlit Sunset Town, Joe Elm began to think, if he were this necromancer, where would he choose to hide?

Hmm... if it were him, he would have already taken the lead and charged out riding a skeletal warhorse...
