our family is gone

Chapter 802 It’s all here
Led by Lance, the team overcame numerous obstacles, killed the apprentice first and then the wizard, fought against the skeleton spearmen, killed the general and the standard-bearer, and finally met the wizard known as the Lord of the Undead.

The coffins placed here are all the outstanding figures of Hamlet's family. Any ordinary skeleton is a sword master. Although it is not important to Lance, everyone knows that it cannot be ignored.

So Alhazred and the Legion pressed forward. The reason why they were chosen to come in was very simple. The Legion did not care about the suppression of the death energy, and the scholars were very important assistants.

And that was exactly what happened. Lance blocked the Skeleton Swordmaster, Alhazred launched the [Hand of the Abyss] to interrupt the Lord of the Dead's spell, and then the Legion approached.

However, just as Lanius swung his sword at the Lord of the Dead, the Lord of the Dead also waved his hand.

This action lifted the red robe that wrapped its body, revealing not a skeleton as expected, but a mass of flesh, bones, limbs, and organs that were crushed and then glued together again.

As the work of the ancestor of the evil god of flesh and blood, it is indeed impossible to escape these. No wonder the figure under the red robe is taller than ordinary people. I don’t know how much flesh and blood is stuffed inside.

The two necromancers had died in the melee before, and Lance hadn't even had time to take care of them. Now he could understand why they were "bleeding"...

The bones stuck with flesh and blood turned into sharp claws to block Lanius's sword, but as a spellcaster, its instinct did not make it continue to fight. Instead, it retreated and kept its distance. The strong death energy was summoning new skeletons.

Lance was quick to throw the big hammer away, then raised his hand to hold down the restless coffin lid.

The hammer flew out of his hand, and with the help of Lance's terrifying power, it hit the tall and thin body of the Lord of the Undead like a cannonball, and went straight into it, causing it to pause for a brief moment.

Alhazred took the opportunity to cast the [Weakness Spell], and the power of the abyss further weakened its state.

The ten members of the legion also turned on their bloodthirsty nature, and a layer of dark red halo seemed to cover their bodies, and they rushed up with swords in hand.

The Lord of the Undead tried to resist, but his flesh and blood body became a burden to him and he was hacked to death by the sword in a few strokes.

After the Lord of the Undead fell, Lance seemed to be unable to react for a while.

The journey was so difficult, but after meeting the Lord of the Undead, he was killed so quickly after just one encounter. Isn't this a bit anticlimactic?
But it makes sense. Its most terrifying ability is to summon skeletons. There are at least millions of skeletons outside, and ordinary people can't even see it.

Lance also started preparing several months ago, and through multiple actions, he weakened the enemy bit by bit, and finally got to where he is today.

Even if they come in, they will still have to face those powerful special skeletons. If they cannot break through the protection of the skeleton spearmen and the general and kill the flag bearer, even the most powerful adventurer will probably be dragged to death by the endless resurrection.

Even if you face the Lord of the Undead directly, you still need to be able to control the death energy. If you can't bear it, you will be buried directly.

But having said so much, it is itself a fragile mage.

Now the skeletons outside were stopped, and the skeletons inside were killed instantly by Lance as soon as they appeared. The evil power they controlled was ineffective against the Legion and Lance, and Alhazred was blessed by Lance, so all his tricks were useless now.

No matter what you call the Lord of the Undead, as a spellcaster, your spell was interrupted and you were approached by ten powerful warriors. The result was predictable, you were chopped into a pulp by the swords.

Without the support of fresh physical strength, these wandering corpses will eventually fall down, right?
Lance didn't know this. He only knew that after the Lord of the Undead fell down, the coffin lid that he was pressing on did not move. He was forced to open the coffin lid and punch the thing inside twice to make it rest in peace.

However, the thick aura of death still existed on the field, and the skeletons showed no sign of collapsing instantly. Fortunately, their condition and aggressiveness were greatly reduced, and the sounds of fighting outside eased.

"You guys go help, let me handle this."

Lance sent them away and came to the corpse of the Lord of the Undead. The red cloth was torn, revealing the festering flesh inside. There was no research value anymore, so he just sacrificed it.

However, Lance did not expect that something strange would happen again after the void swallowed the corpse. It was not that the Lord of the Undead was resurrected, but that the thick death energy in the environment actually gathered like a whale and then disappeared into the void.

This place itself is a large cemetery, with countless people buried there over the years, otherwise it would not have been chosen as the lair by the Lord of the Undead.

But now the power that he had accumulated for so long was drained away in an instant. Lance believed that he could not accomplish such a great feat. There were indeed things in this world that were stronger than him. Reverence for mystery was not just empty talk.

But it was not Lance's turn to think about it, because the gift had already arrived.

It turned out to be a gray-black dagger with dark red runes on the handle.

The simple appearance does not have too many gorgeous decorations, and can even be called ordinary.

Anyway, it was not conspicuous at all when Lance held it in his hand, but it made him feel instinctively fear because he felt the threat of death.

[Death Poison], a poison that threatens any life, is called - Death.

If stabbed by this thing, even a demigod would be killed by the poison.

This necromancer is indeed a man of extraordinary talent, otherwise he would not be called the Lord of the Dead.

He was killed and then resurrected by the ancestor, so it is not surprising that he realized something after returning from death.

Now with its power and the aura of death accumulated in the great cemetery, it makes sense to create such a weapon.

Lance put it away with fear on his face. This was a weapon that could kill gods, and of course it could also kill him...

Now is not the time to study these things. The corpse disappeared but the sharp metal collar remained. It can be felt that it is an extraordinary prop, but it does not enhance strength. On the contrary, it restrains the evil power.

This probably involves the ritual steps that the ancestors used to resurrect them. It was a means for the ancestors to suppress evil and preserve their wisdom.

The hammer was also picked up because it was an extraordinary equipment. Although it was just an excellent equipment and not a good thing, it was a win for the junk guy to pick it up, otherwise Lance would not have put it in his pocket just now.

As for the scrolls, I didn’t have time to look at them carefully, so I could only accept them and leave in a hurry…

The skeletons here had not collapsed after the death of the Lord of the Undead because of the rich death energy in the environment. Then Lance's sacrifice just now directly drained the death energy. The skeletons that were still fighting against the guards outside lost their support in an instant, and their bones fell apart and fell to the ground.

The bones, which were as strong as steel, looked pale as if they had been weathered for countless years, and would crumble to pieces with just a slight step.

The darkness underground limited the scene, and only those who relied on buildings on the ground to fight against the skeletons truly understood what shock was.

As they entered the building, the obstructions outside were easily torn apart and kept pouring in. If Lan hadn't left behind powerful guards like Bahrain and blocked the door with artillery, it would have been difficult to hold on.

But as the fight went on, the skeletons' offensive power began to weaken and they became fragile, especially under the sunlight.

Suddenly, as if reaching the limit, the countless skeletons surrounding the building collapsed and fell apart almost at the same time. The spectacular scene was as shocking as a landslide or tsunami.

Even the resurrected corpses would fall down; even the dead would die again. For a moment, everyone was in a trance, as if they had suddenly woken up from a nightmare and were all stunned in place.

"The Lord must have succeeded."

"Great!"

"Alas!"

But soon as the first one reacted, everyone else also joined in the cheering. The emotional release under high pressure was the most refreshing. They did not disappoint the lord's trust and successfully held on.

Those below had a similar feeling, they finally made it. The spear array formed by the skeleton spearmen was very stressful for them, and now they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lance also came out. Looking at the broken bones all over the ground, he felt a bit of a headache. He would deal with this mess later and let's get out of this damn place first.

"Let's go, let's go out first."

The team withdrew quickly, and Lance was the last one to find the bodies of the two necromancers and sacrifice them, and threw them into the void along with the flag of the skeleton flag bearer.

And the gift was also not ordinary. The missing part of the flag was repaired, and a complete flag of blasphemy was obtained. Lance looked at the evil aura emanating from it, and needless to say, he knew what this thing could be used for.

It's not surprising that he can also control corpses, summon skeletons, and cast necromancy. With this flag, he can instantly become a necromancer.

Of course, if ordinary people can withstand the erosion of the evil aura and are not afraid of becoming a member of the undead.

And if you dare to use this, you will probably become an evil force that everyone will hate.

Anyway, it's just a toy for Lance and has no practical benefits at all.

Walking outside, Lance saw the bones everywhere and knew how fierce the battle was. Many people were injured, some even seriously injured. The extraordinary people were not beyond the limits of flesh and blood, especially in this kind of war of attrition.

But no one died. After all, there were enough potions, and as long as they were alive, there was hope. Not to mention that Lance also left Junia behind. It was impossible for him not to leave someone to heal.

Give everyone flesh and blood reconstruction treatment, and then use blessing to restore everyone.

Only then did they discover that the Legion's equipment was all torn and the swords were damaged in the fierce battle.

However, they had already become one with the equipment under the effect of the ritual and were able to recover on their own.

The skeletons had no blood to suck from, so they could only go back and pick a few death row prisoners to restore them to their original state.

It can be regarded as a reward for this action. After all, they have no use for money.

"Alhazred, Bigby, Junia, Jeanne, come with me."

Lance arranged their evacuation, but left behind a team of people. If the legion had not suffered too severe damage and the next enemy was not easy to deal with, he would have wanted to take them along.

The same goes for Sarmenti. After playing the finale and bowing, he became depressed. It turns out that all artists are crazy.

No one in the team questioned the lord's decision, or wanted to know more. All they could do was follow orders, and nothing else was considered.

loyalty!

Leave them to go back on their own. After losing the skeleton, nothing can threaten them. The only thing they have is Lance who is going to deal with it now.

That’s right, based on the principle that since you are already here, you can just stop by and there is no need to run around.

Lance did not forget that there was another threat in the ruins, that was the guy who defeated Martin's team in the church.

The team he put together was also very simple. The scholars needed his auxiliary strength, and Joan of Arc and Bigby were there to give them experience.

As for bringing Junia along, it was because he needed someone who was familiar with the church.

Junia originally obtained the saint's inheritance in the dungeon, and was then discovered by Lance halfway through that she was possessed by another soul, so she was captured and sacrificed to that guy. However, Junia did get something good.

After coming out, in order to digest the inherited power, she spent most of her time immersed in meditation, and her strength also increased rapidly.

It was impossible for Lance to disturb others for trivial matters, which was why he had not appeared in public for a while.

Later, when the war to recover the territory began, she came to participate, but she was mixed in the army and did not have much room to display her talents in the era of artillery and muskets, which was somewhat lonely.

Therefore, her main task is to support Lance in the rear and stabilize the situation. Her job is to persuade the believers in the church, guide them to distinguish between religion and faith, and return to life.

Of course, she was also the most proactive in exposing the darkness of the church, especially in dealing with the most corrupt and depraved people in the church.

She really couldn't tolerate any "filth" at all. When faced with some corrupt clergymen, she strongly demanded that they be put on the stake and clamored for the holy flame to purify them. She was even more radical than Lance.

Fortunately, Lance is more conservative and advised her not to do this and send her to a nursing home.

Paracelsus was probably also curious about whether there was anything special about the body structure of the clergy.

When the captured guys heard that there was no need to grill him, they directly regarded Lance as a person sent by the Holy Light to save them. The scene was quite funny.

After dealing with those things, she was brought back by Lance. The strength of Martin and other people in the church declined, but Lance found that Junia was not affected at all, which might be related to the power she received.

In the battle just now, Junia also showed strength that was not inferior to that of a legend. This guy was born to be chosen by the Holy Light, so it is not surprising that he has made such progress.

Lance left her up there because she was strong enough to stabilize the situation when something went wrong. She was not in short supply for treatment or output down there.

As the team moved forward, they could see some broken skeletons along the way. It turned out that the biggest disaster of the ruins had been eliminated.

Without the obstruction of the skeletons, they quickly arrived at their destination, a magnificent building full of historical charm, which was the ruins of a church.

Thanks to [Fate] for the 10000 reward.
