Chapter 383: Rotten Tower Guard

The Code of the Old Days absorbed the undead dragon soul fire particles that flowed back like a whale.

The complete decay of the Sorrowful King was attracting all the undead guards in the Rotten Tower, and hurried footsteps could be heard from the bottom of the spiral staircase.

Helot urged the Old Code loudly: "Hurry up! It's almost done. Are you going to swallow it all?"

The Code of the Old Days did not give any response to Helot, and continued to greedily absorb the soul fire particles that were pouring down.

The footsteps were getting closer. If the guards here found out what the Old Code had done, they would never let him and his father leave easily.

Anxious, Helot stretched out his hand and used the magician's hand to pull the Old Code back. Just as he stuffed the magic book into the space bag, the guards rushed into the hall one after another.

Looking at the empty ruling throne, every undead that came in was stunned.

"Lord Soul Eater, has the king...left us?" A ghost general covered in bone armor asked the Soul Eater.

The Soul Eater was secretly relieved that Helot was able to retrieve the Old Code in time. He replied to the Ghost General: "Yes, the King has left us and this world."

The hall fell into extreme silence.

Although they all knew that the King of Sorrow was decaying, when the final moment came, it was still difficult to accept this fact.

After a while, the ghost general asked again: "What did the king you last met say to you?"

Soul Eater: "As usual, he answered some of my magical questions. I wonder who will be able to guide me in my quest for the secrets of magic in the future."

There was another long silence in the hall.

Every undead here has been taught by the King of Sorrow and regards him as their godfather. After listening to the words of the Soul Eater, they naturally couldn't help but recall the scene of themselves listening to the King's teachings here.

It was not until the Ghost General noticed Helot next to the Soul Eater that he asked, "You are with the Soul Eater, why are you here to see the King?"

Helot asked back: "Who are you?"

The Soul Eater introduced: "This is Godot, the captain of the guards of the Rotten Tower."

"Captain Godot," Helot answered, "I came to see the Sorrowful King for a purpose. I don't need to tell you what the Sorrowful King said to me when he met me."

"Human!" Guard Captain Godo shouted angrily, "Answer my questions seriously, or you will not be able to leave the Rotten Tower."

The Soul Eater blocked Helot's way and rebuked him, "Captain of the Royal Guard, your mission is to guard the Rotten Tower. You are not qualified to stop someone the Sorrowful King agrees to summon."

Godot took a step forward and almost confronted the Soul Eater and said, "Soul Eater, I just felt an extremely powerful energy here. But the moment I stepped into the hall, the energy disappeared.

There are only two of you here, and if you don’t explain it to us clearly, we will not let you leave the Rotten Tower easily.”

When the "Old Code" absorbed the undead dragon soul fire particles, it indeed created a huge energy field here, which would definitely be noticed by these powerful undead guards.

These undeads can guard one floor of the tower, so they are naturally extremely powerful. Compared with them, the Soul Eater can only be regarded as the weakest. Facing the pressing Chief of the Royal Guards, the Soul Eater released his aura: "At the last moment of decay, the king used all his energy to evolve me into a dragon lich. This is what you just felt, and it is also the secret that the king does not want me to tell.

Are you satisfied? Captain Godot! "

All the undead were shocked by the pressure emanating from this superior undead and could not help but take a step back, looking at the Soul Eater in disbelief.

The Soul Eater took off the human skin mask he had been wearing, and his appearance gradually changed, taking on the shape of a dragon. A pair of dragon horns grew from his head, and a pair of bone dragon wings spread out behind him. The soul fire in his eye sockets was as green as emerald stone, and the energy of death formed a tattered cloak wrapped around him.

Although the Soul Eaters were somewhat inferior to the undead guarding the Rotten Tower, the undead guarding the Sorrowful King day and night were absolutely loyal to their king. They not only felt the power of the dragon from the pressure of the Soul Eaters, but also felt the presence of the Sorrowful King from this power.

This familiarity is as if the already corrupt government is right in front of him.

The captain of the royal guard, Godot, stepped back again to distance himself from the Soul Eater, then bowed respectfully: "I'm sorry, Lord Soul Eater! We shouldn't have doubted the king's favor and trust in you. Please punish me as you wish."

All the Undead Guards saluted the Soul Eater together, as if they were meeting the former Sad King.

The Soul Eater said to Godot: "I am the king's dragon trainer, and you are the king's chief of guards. I have no right to punish you. Since the king is corrupt, you should wait for the next ruling king."

"Yes, Lord Soul Eater." Godot asked again, "Before the king became corrupt, did he say who would inherit the throne?"

"No!" The Soul Eater answered straightforwardly: "Whoever wants to rule the Rotten Wasteland must rely on strength to sit on the ruling throne. If there is nothing else, we are leaving!"

Godot immediately led the guards to make way, and watched the Soul Eater and Helot leave. When they were about to walk down the spiral staircase, he said, "Before the new ruling king moves into the Rotten Tower, we are all willing to fight for you. I hope you will live up to the power and responsibility bestowed upon you by the king!"

After a while, the Soul Eater's reply came from the bottom of the spiral staircase: "Just guard the Rotten Tower."

"I will follow your orders, Master Soul Eater!"

The hall returned to silence. Captain Godot of the Royal Guards stared at the empty throne, wondering what he was thinking.

An undead guard said: "I think the king wants the Soul Eater to inherit the throne. The king has been training him as the successor, and now he has given him some of his power.

Why didn’t Master Edible Spirit Disciple say anything?
As long as he tells us that the king has made him his successor, we will immediately pledge our loyalty to him."

The chief of the royal guards, Godot, said, "What's the point of us being the only ones loyal to him? He has been with the king for too short a time, and he doesn't have the prestige to subdue the ministers and the lords. If the king's corruption can be delayed for a hundred years, or even fifty years, there will be no opposition to the Soul Eaters inheriting the throne."

"Master Guard, what should we do?"

"Didn't Lord Soul Eater give the order? Guard the Rotten Tower... No matter who it is, as long as he can't sit on the ruling throne, he is not the ruling king.

We will stay here until the true master of the throne sits on it."

Godot and many guards knelt before the throne.

At this moment, the Soul Eater didn't know that what he said was misunderstood by Godot. He just didn't want these Rotten Tower guards to cause trouble for him, but he didn't expect Godot to understand that he was stopping all the undead who wanted to enter the Rotten Tower.
