Chapter 496: 420, Divinity_2
The Quasi-god wasn’t slow, and up till this point, I’ve lost hundreds of thousands of troops and equipment.
If he escapes now, it would be a loss for me.
Most importantly, Fang Hao cannot afford to give the Lord of Thunder a chance to recover.
Once he escapes, the next time we meet, I will be the one to die.
So, no matter what, he must be killed here and now.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Hearing Fang Hao’s orders, the first to respond were the Bone Dragons and the countless Skeleton Giant Bats and Skeleton Pseudo Dragons at the rear.
One advantage of flying troops is their airborne speed, which is much faster than running.
As soon as the words fell, they were carried off by a gust of wind, chasing after the Lord of Thunder.
Meanwhile, the countless undead army followed closely behind.
The Lord of Thunder was escaping rapidly to the north.
His armor was scattered, his body was as shriveled as cured meat, and he was severely injured.
The situation was critical.
He had not expected those low-level skeletons to be so difficult to deal with.
Killing one batch after another, it seemed like they would never run out.
He remembered this grudge.
Once he recovers from his injuries, he will return to kill everyone who dared to insult him.
While thinking this, he did not slow his pace.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain from his body, he continued to flee northward.
However, his speed was ultimately affected.
Roar!!
A roar suddenly came from behind.
Several black energy pillars enveloped his body.
The strong aura of death began to age his flesh.
His body stumbled, falling directly to the ground.
Then, a large number of tightly packed Skeleton Giant Bats began to surround him, one after another, devouring his flesh.
Although he continued to resist, he couldn’t hold on for long.
Fear was evident in the Lord of Thunder’s eyes.
Seeing the majority of the troops coming from afar and surrounding him again.
He knew in his heart that there was no hope of escape.
“You cannot kill me.” The Lord of Thunder gritted his teeth and roared.
He was surrounded by a dense mass of undead. The Lord of Thunder couldn’t see Fang Hao, nor could Fang Hao see him.
But the Lord of Thunder knew that Fang Hao must still be nearby.
Waiting not far off for him to be slowly worn down to death.
“Why?” The voice of Fang Hao came, but it was difficult to make out his location.
“If you dare to kill a god, you will incur the wrath of all the divine spirits. Your mortal body will be feared by the divine spirits and they will seek revenge on you.” The Lord of Thunder bellowed.
On hearing this, Fang Hao’s brows furrowed.
It is now proven that gods really do exist in this world.
A mortal showing the ability to kill a god might indeed arouse the fear of other divine beings, this was hard to say.
In books, it was recorded to respect and obey gods. Killing a god… even a Quasi-god.
Such a thing had not been passed down in books or legends.
But on second thought, things had turned out this way.
If the Lord of Thunder seizes an opportunity, he would not hesitate to kill me.
It wouldn’t be the divine spirits’ turn to make a move.
So, unless there is a divine spirit to save him now, he must die by my hand.
“You’re a Quasi-god, not a true divine spirit. Moreover, as the Lord of Thunder, you attempted to steal the followers of the God of Undead and their faith. Naturally, I, as a representative of the God of Undead, have to eliminate you.” Fang Hao thought for a moment, then said confidently.
“You…” The Lord of Thunder was left speechless.
“What about you, kill him.”
Whoosh!!
The army attacked again, this time, Nisbit and the Bone Dragon attacked together.
They besieged him for half an hour.
The attacking undead suddenly became static.
Nisbit took big steps back and said in a hoarse voice: “My lord, the enemy is dead.”
Fang Hao nodded.
“Disperse and reform!” Fang Hao loudly commanded.
The stationary soldiers that were surrounding the Lord of Thunder immediately dispersed, revealing a severely mutilated body.
Gurgling!!
The shrunken head of Lord of Thunder also rolled to Fang Hao’s feet by the dispersed Skeleton Warriors.
The skull was still wide-eyed, looking at the sky in disbelief.
Is he really dead?
The Lord of Thunder, can no longer display information.
It seems he truly is dead.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by.
The body also turned into ashes and was scattered with the wind.
“Damn, the body’s gone.” Fang Hao exclaimed.
In Fang Hao’s eyes, the body of a quasi-god was a rare treasure.
As long as he brought it back, he could have a quasi-god skeleton hero, and his status would be unshakeable.
But now, right before his eyes.
The body of this quasi-god was lost in a gust of wind…
Fang Hao felt a bit regretful, but then he saw a grey-white light ball in the ashes of the body.
It resembled the glow of a Nightstone.
What on earth is that?
The inner core burst out?
On this journey, the bodies that turned into ashes would drop various rare materials.
Similar to the Lord of Thunder, after his death and subsequent transformation to ashes, he must have dropped something valuable.
Fang Hao immediately approached to examine the item in the ashes.
It was a light ball, not in the form of a material object.
More like an elemental energy source.
[Divinity (Level 0)]
(Description: The core power of a deity, powerful Divine Arts rely on divinity to function.)
“Divinity?”
Looking at the description, this divinity seems to be the core energy of a deity’s Divine Arts, it must be quite valuable.
Perhaps a special kind of rare material.
As Fang Hao pondered this, he controlled the puppet to pick up the light ball.
He quickly put it into his bag.
At this moment, Black Sword and the others came over, “Sir, are you alright?”
Fang Hao glanced at the ash on the ground and said: “I’m fine, start cleaning up the battlefield, and arrange people to clear the collapsed temple, dig out the items inside, and take them all back.”
The temple had been reduced to ruins in the thunderbolt.
However, just now in the temple, Fang Hao saw many valuable things.
Gold and silver utensils, Nightstones, there were a lot of them inside.
And during this battle, up till now, he had not found a single treasure chest.
Fang Hao suspected that the treasure chest was in the temple.
Hence, after the great battle, manual labor was needed to clear the ruins, dig out all the valuable items inside and take them all back.
“Understood Sir, I’ll immediately arrange for the clean-up.” Black Sword immediately said.
As far as the battle was concerned, it was coming to an end.
Next, it was the work of excavating the ruins and searching for the treasure chest.
Fang Hao need not be there personally.
The route from the fortress to here had already been cleared, and transportation and support were completely unproblematic.
Black Sword and the others could handle it themselves.
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you for now. Inform me timely if something comes up.” Fang Hao nodded.
“Yes Sir.” Several heroes responded with a nod.
After delegating the tasks, Fang Hao controlled his puppet to fly towards the direction of the fortress.
He reached the fortress before dusk.
Fang Hao canceled God’s Presence and put away the puppet.
…
He took the divinity light ball from the puppet’s hand.
The moment he touched it, he instantly felt the light ball turn into a powerful energy, breaking through Fang Hao’s mental defense and seeping into his soul.
At the same time, Fang Hao also felt a strong and strange energy operating in his body.
