Chapter 528: Night City: Even Plot Twists Can't Stop This!
At the border between the Bahar Empire and the Lyestij Kingdom.
The 'Four Sages' squad, along with the recently renowned 'Eastern Duo' from Owenthal, formed a team of six and, after a day's long journey, finally arrived at their destination.
Night City never expected that the remains of the 'Thirteen Heroes' would be located not in the Bahar Empire but within the borders of the Lyestij Kingdom.
When Herklon brought out a map and pointed to a specific area within the kingdom, Night City's expression also turned peculiar.
The area Herklon indicated was a cemetery or, rather, a mass grave near the kingdom's border.
"It can't be a coincidence..."
Just as this question popped into his mind, Herklon's voice interrupted Night City's thoughts.
"The kingdom's soldiers aren't very fond of us workers from the empire. Exploring ruins within their territory could escalate into an international dispute if discovered. We must be cautious this time."
"Fortunately, the ruins we're here to explore seem to be in a cemetery, likely an uninhabited area."
With time pressing, they didn't linger and immediately headed towards the targeted cemetery area.
"Herklon, something's wrong. There's a strong undead presence here!"
As they neared their destination, Roba, the priest, quickly sensed the thick undead aura mixed within the surrounding fog.
While it wasn't unusual for undead to appear in cemeteries, the concentration of the undead aura was so intense that Roba could be sure there were numerous undead present!
Almost as if they sensed the living, the undead creatures emerged from the thick fog, surrounding Night City and his group.
Among the undead creatures were the lowest-tier skeletons, zombie dogs, and zombie boars.
Although these undead creatures were not of high levels, their numbers were astonishing! Within their line of sight alone, there were already several hundred, and more undead were gathering from further away.
"Repel the undead!"
Roba, holding a cross, unleashed holy light, instantly annihilating over a dozen undead creatures.
For a priest proficient in faith-based magic, his monster-slaying prowess far surpassed Herklon and Imena.
Even with Roba's impressive skills, his killing efficiency was like a drop in the ocean against such a vast undead army.
"What's going on? We haven't entered the ruins yet, so why are there so many undead?"
Imena, the archer, struggled the most among the 'Four Sages' as many undead, including skeletons, were immune to her arrows.
On the other hand, Night City and Na Bei handled the situation with ease. Night City, observing the undead army, couldn't help but wear a wry smile.
He never imagined they'd stumble upon such a coincidental event.
If Night City's memory served him right, they had inadvertently intruded upon the plotline of Squirrel and his group.
According to the original story, Clementine of the Black Canon, along with the necromancer Kagit, sought out Enfelia due to her innate ability to use any magical item.
So Clementine had killed the 'Black Sword' quartet and then captured Enfelia, using his innate ability to summon an undead army to conquer the kingdom's towns.
Bone King, provoked by a challenge, accepted his grandmother's quest to rescue Enfelia, thereby establishing his reputation as a renowned 'Black' adventurer.
Night City, upon careful consideration, realized the high probability of this graveyard being an ancient ruin.
The dilapidated building where Bone King rescued Enfelia appeared grand, and who would build in a graveyard if it weren't part of an ancient site? Furthermore, Kagit, one of Ziran's twelve disciples, chose this graveyard as a base, likely not just because of its dense death energy and seclusion.
"Nabeh, stop wasting time. Clear out these low-level undead."
Hearing Night City's command, Nabeh, standing nearby, no longer hesitated. She performed a graceful somersault, landing on a withered tree, and instantly, her hands burst forth with lightning.
"Tier 5 Magic - Dragon Thunder!"
A blue bolt of lightning, like a swimming dragon, shot out from Nabeh's hands, turning the undead into ashes wherever it struck.
With just this one attack, a hundred-meter radius around them was instantly cleared.
Before the Four Sages could react, Nabeh effortlessly unleashed a Tier 5 spell, and the next moment, they witnessed something even more jaw-dropping.
"Night God Style One - Broken Waterfall!"
Night City casually executed a nearly hundred-meter-wide slash, and wherever the strike landed, whether undead, rocks, or withered trees, they were instantly cleaved in two.
The dense undead army before them was directly split by Night City's attack, creating a vacuum zone.
The Four Sages, witnessing this, were utterly stunned, their jaws dropping in disbelief.
"This is definitely the realm of heroes... No, probably even stronger than heroes!"
Hecklang's exclamation snapped Alshe and the others out of their shock, and their gazes towards Night City and Nabeh became complex.
Previously, they knew the 'Eastern Duo' was powerful, but they thought they were on par with them. Never did they imagine that they had grossly underestimated their opponents and overestimated themselves.
This wasn't a matter of being on par; it was like comparing different dimensions.
As a renowned worker team in the empire, the members of the Four Sages were all above level 20, making them undoubtedly strong among the humans and demi-humans of this world.
After all, reaching the hero realm only required a level of 30.
Until now, Hecklang and his team had assumed that Night City and Nabeh's strength was similar to theirs, perhaps slightly stronger, but not by much.
But now, seeing Night City's battle technique and Nabeh's magic, they realized these two had undoubtedly reached the 'Hero' realm.
Night City's sweeping sword energy attack, in particular, seemed to Hecklang and his team to be beyond human strength!
