Chapter 286 Death Followers
"Ah Jiu, wake up, Ah Jiu!"
More and more skeletal monsters crawled out from beneath the ruins of Haiyun, making the already dilapidated place even more nightmarish.
Elifa used all the healing magic she knew to try to awaken Ajiu, but even after Elifa exhausted all methods, Ajiu showed no miraculous effect.
Seeing that the person in her arms was not getting better and the monster's rampage was getting bigger and bigger, Elifa had no choice but to forcibly drag Ajiu away to a safe place.
The sea monster skeleton that crawled out of the ground began to devour everything around it as soon as it stepped onto the surface, swallowing all kinds of rubble and stones, trying to fill the hunger that had lasted for so many years.
The brick and tile walls were absorbed by the mutated phantom beast energy, condensing into a piece that formed the messy skin of the sea beast. The withered sea beast, which was already an undead, was now covered with another layer of fragmented skin, hollow and hypocritical, ugly and arrogant.
The source of all the skeletal monsters, the corrupted Muban, has now become a puppet driven by the power of the phantom beasts.
Magical energy surged wildly across his flesh, replacing the feedback from his nerves. His senses were no longer Muban's help in seeing the world. What Muban saw now was no different from what the skeleton sea monster saw.
The whole world is nothing but a purgatory, and I am just a participant in its revelry.
"There is nothing worth cherishing; all living beings in this world are but playthings."
"I can't hear, I can't see, my life in this world is meaningless, and who cares whether I live or die?"
Muban's eyes were covered with a layer of magical crystal, and he uttered words he had never expected.
Human life was now completely obscured, and the skeletal monsters, with their dark, hollow eyes, finally saw where their leader was.
The evil spirit appeared, born from a person who destroyed hope with his own hands and fell into despair. He was Muban, but he was no longer a living being.
It represents the same emptiness as those skeletal sea creatures, forgotten by the world, betrayed by life itself.
Muban felt that his life had value again. Since life had failed him, he would let death fill his life.
"Yes, how come I didn't realize that before? Why do I have to be so fixated on life? Isn't death just as powerful and beautiful?"
"Waaaaaah..."
With a distorted mindset and a surge of energy, more and more spirits emerge from the ground and leap from the ocean, responding to the call of death and fighting for the same desire to eradicate life.
"Since I can't have it, since I've been abandoned, then let the world cease to exist."
"Anyway, nobody cares; life will be swallowed up by death sooner or later."
What is the meaning of life?
Muban's boundless longing for death caused the power of the phantom beast within him to surge, transforming him into a furnace of netherfire that burned the life energy around him.
The earth turned yellow and barren, the water sources dried up and disappeared, the bones and rotting flesh began to move again, and hundreds of military units were built on the wasteland.
Not only the withered bones, but also the earth spirits born from the filth and the sky spirits nurtured in the poisonous gas, have all been summoned by the will of death to become legion soldiers that will cleanse the world.
"Hahaha, waaaah..."
Muban, who was devoid of joy and sorrow, could no longer even express his own emotions. He felt his thoughts gradually cooling down, and his will was being eroded by deathly silence little by little.
This feeling was quite unusual, but Muban wholeheartedly agreed with it.
He never felt a sense of satisfaction so intense that it permeated the heavens and earth, as if he had compatriots all over the world who were following the same aspirations as him.
An unparalleled sense of identity, a sense of belonging that transcends time and space—Muban had everything he could not have as a human being.
"This is amazing, so comfortable. Haha, it feels like the relief after a good cry."
Muban spoke of all this indifferently, his emotions returning to a state of cold indifference, just as he had been displaying for the past ten years.
More and more skeleton monsters gathered, and the hideous, foul-smelling creatures surrounded Haiyun from all sides.
Elifa dragged Ajiu along, unsure of where to go.
What should I do? I can't possibly deal with those monsters by myself, not to mention that I have to take care of Ajiu who is unconscious.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Elifa is only proficient in healing magic; she hasn't even mastered basic offensive magic. Muban had always opposed her participation in battle in order to avoid any possibility of Elifa being put in danger.
But now, the biggest crisis for Elifa is Muban himself. The undead he has created are gradually surrounding Elifa, cutting off all her possible paths to survival.
Elifa tried to find a way out, but every piece of land she stepped on seemed like a skeleton might suddenly emerge.
Emerging from underground, his eyes vacant, driven by violence and resentment, he becomes a new soldier fighting for death.
The skeleton fish beast absorbed the bones of land creatures to create limbs, gaining the ability to walk on the ground, and blocked Elifa's way.
A skeletal monster with a fishbone head but walking on pig legs burst out of the ground; it was not large in size but full of murderous intent.
"No, don't come any closer..."
Elifa was terrified. She had never seen such a bizarre scene before. If this was a nightmare, Elifa begged God to let her wake up quickly.
In the distance, the burst of supernatural power was still gushing out, and more mutated skeletons crawled out from the remains and moved beneath the ruins.
With a hoarse roar and eyes filled with hostility towards life, all the monsters that sensed the presence of life rushed towards Elifa. They would not allow any otherworldly creatures to set foot in their sacred land.
"Help, help!"
Elifa was completely surrounded, and she couldn't go anywhere with Ah Jiu in tow.
The helpless cries failed to rouse Muban in the slightest; his mind was filled only with the supreme worship of death.
"Who can help me!!"
The skeletal monsters moved slowly and leisurely. They were not brutal, but their bodies were filled with deathly aura. They watched the end of life and the coming of death every second.
"Can anyone help me...?"
Elifa fell silent, she was in despair, she looked around and saw no sign of life, the land had been completely swallowed up by death.
"Get out of my way and stay away from that girl!"
A burst of fire blazed through the skeleton legion, the eerie blue flames carrying real heat, burning in front of Elifa and illuminating the relief and disbelief in his eyes.
The voice was so familiar, like a long-lost relative. We hadn't seen each other for many years, but once we met again, memories and familiarity immediately flooded my mind.
A human, half-burning with flames, stepped out of purgatory. His body was mostly charred after the explosion that took his life, but this did not prevent his indomitable will from returning.
Even with arms devoid of flesh and blood, she can still support and protect others; after the flames are extinguished, it is time for the land to bless her.
The bone hand clenched its fist and touched the ground; the earth was furious with these invaders.
The speed at which he sped forward left behind emerald flames, and every punch he threw shattered the withered bones into fragments. No monster could advance any further; Luo Yi's rage would show no mercy to any monster.
The dead return as knights. Luo Yi's rebirth is summoned by death, chosen by the living, transcending life and death, and he will personally write his own legend.
Sweeping away all evil, the magic of the land's blessing reappeared on a person who was already dead. When the embers subsided, Elifa saw a face that was all too familiar but ravaged.
Elifa will never forget that he was originally her "family".
