Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2427  A New Assessment

Within the death knight's space.

Fang Heng and his companions' consciousness returned to their bodies once again.

"Welcome back."

The death knight, with blue flames flickering in his eyes, looked at Fang Heng and his companions, "It seems you have become accustomed to using your will to fight."

"Death knight, who were those invaders we just saw?"

"Just some thieves coveting the power of Empress Persephone," the death knight said with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "They have been appearing more frequently recently. I've been wanting to give them a severe lesson for a long time."

As the death knight spoke, his gaze slowly shifted to Fang Heng.

"You all did very well this time. As promised, I will grant you your reward."

As he spoke, the phantom of twelve gates reappeared around the space.

Li Shaoqiang's eyebrows raised at the sight, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

It's here, it's here!

Taking this opportunity, he might be able to quickly advance to master-level necromancy!

"Whoosh!!!"

The doors slowly opened, and a rich undead aura energy surged out from them.

Li Shaoqiang was excited, but when he saw that Fang Heng remained still, he stopped and took no action.

What's going on?

Was something wrong?

Li Shaoqiang immediately wiped the excitement off his face.

The death knight's eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness as he looked at Fang Heng and his companions, who had not begun to absorb the energy.

"What's the matter? Don't you need the strength? The strength is right in front of you. Why aren't you taking action?"

Fang Heng fixed his gaze on the death knight, "I'm curious, what is inscribed on the mausoleum's coffin?"

"The coffin?"

The death knight seemed somewhat surprised. After a moment of thought, he replied, "It's probably a prayer. Empress Persephone wrote prayers for her servants. For those invaders, anything left by the Empress would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime."

"Now, do you have any more questions?"

Fang Heng shook his head lightly.

That explanation wasn't entirely unreasonable. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Then let's begin. The invaders are still penetrating the mausoleum, and you don't have much time to increase your strength," the death knight said, gently touching his long sword. "If you still wish to continue."

"Mm."

Indeed.

Even though there were many lingering questions, but now was clearly not the time for in-depth inquiries.

First, take advantage of the opportunity!

Whoosh!

With a thought, the Shrine of Bones immediately appeared in front of him.

Fang Heng quickly formed an imprint in front of him.

"Whoosh!!!!"

The undead aura energy in the hall instantly formed a massive vortex, rapidly gathering towards the Shrine of Bones!

.....

Death realm.

Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

Inside a small stone chamber within the mausoleum, Feudal Lord Dani stood guard beside the instructor.

A small number of undead creatures continued to approach from various entrances to the stone chambers, but they no longer posed a threat.

Feudal Lord Dani and a few of her fellow disciples, who were also guarding the instructor, discussed quietly.

"Ancient prayers?"

Feudal Lord Dani was hearing about this for the first time, "Are these left by Empress Persephone?"

"Yes, Empress Persephone once ruled the entire death realm and is considered the strongest in necromancy. The death prayers she defined have been passed down and are still used today. The first-generation prayers she left behind are extremely valuable for our exploration of necromancy."

Feudal Lord Dani glanced at the instructor, who was focusing on recording the prayer, and asked, "Senior Brother, I've always wondered, since Empress Persephone was the most powerful in the death realm, how did she die?"

"Who says she died?"

"Huh?"

"She simply vanished," the senior brother shook his head and continued, "Empress Persephone was the most knowledgeable about necromancy and death. Some academic views suggest that Empress Persephone is indestructible."

"Then why..."

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the instructor shouted a warning, quickly leaping away from the coffin and retreating a few steps with a wary expression.

"Phew!!!"

Immediately, a large amount of pure undead aura overflowed from the coffin.

Feudal Lord Dani's heart stirred upon seeing this.

Such pure undead aura!

"Dani, be careful, don't absorb this aura."

Feudal Lord Dani felt a shiver in her heart.

It was then that she realized that the disciples and fellow brothers under her instructor were all watching the mist with caution, showing no intention of absorbing or approaching it. There was even a hint of fear.

"The aura is indeed powerful and can greatly enhance necromancy, but it contains Empress Persephone's chilling imprint. This imprint can affect our will."

"In extreme cases, it might even control us, turning us into Empress Persephone's eternal servants."

Servants?

Feudal Lord Dani's eyes widened in surprise.

The senior brother continued, "Don't rush. The aura itself isn't dangerous. We just need to wait until it disperses."

Feudal Lord Dani took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother, could you explain what's going on in detail?"

"It's a long story. According to the information leaked by the undead council, Empress Persephone once ruled the entire death realm, commanding seventy-two death knights and tens of thousands of powerful Death Gods..."

Feudal Lord Dani's eyes widened and she asked, "Wait, Senior Brother, did you just say Death Gods?"

"Yes, Death Gods."

The instructor slowly stood up and nodded. "Dani, Death Gods do exist, even now."

...

Death knight space.

[Hint: The player absorbs undead aura, gaining 651,100 grandmaster-level necromancy experience points.]

[Hint: The player's grandmaster-level necromancy has increased to Level 28.]

Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

He had to admit, the experience points reward from the death knight was incredibly generous.

With this many experience points, it would take a year of hard work to achieve the same results outside.

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo also opened their eyes, their excitement barely contained.

Regardless of how strange this mission was, the increase in necromancy level was real!

"You three still have a long way to go. In the past, you wouldn't even have qualified for the trial, but you're lucky. Now is the time when the Empress needs people the most," the death knight said, sitting high on the throne, observing them.

"Repel the invaders and teach them a lesson. You will be rewarded by Empress Persephone and become a Death God."

A dark passage appeared behind Fang Heng and his companions.
