Chapter 1252: Enlightened
The old man raised his hand.
His wrinkled hand trembled slightly.
*Ding-ding~*
The old man rang the bell. The moment the bell rang, the undead sitting cross-legged under the tree opened its eyes.
Her eyes seemed to have green flames burning in them, and her naked upper body was covered with countless scars.
In just a few jumps, the undead were in front of the entrance of the house. Straightening up, she raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door.
— Come in — " an old voice said from behind the wooden door. The undead standing outside gently pushed the door open. When she saw the scene inside, her pupils quickly narrowed, and a previously hidden terrifying aura burst out.
— Enlightened one, what is wrong with you? The undead without outer clothing asked and quickly stepped forward.
The old man sitting on the wooden bed raised his head.
His mouth and nose were full of blood.
— Iron... Iron hand, Byakuya, find and kill him. Only with his death will our race have a chance for a brighter future, " the old man said as he placed a hand on his chest. "Get my heart." It will show you the way — " he managed to say, and then, losing all his strength, he fell on the bed.
The branches and leaves of the bed began to quickly envelop his body.
— Enlightened… Enlightened... The undead said as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was stronger than Dannik. She had often fought him, but in all that time, he had never been able to defeat her.
Two hours later, shouts started coming from under the main tree. A huge crowd was kneeling around the tree. Many of them were heartbroken, and some were in a semi-fainting state due to the uncontrolled flow of tears.
The undead king, Senmayer, was on one knee in front of the tree. The crown was passed down from generation to generation, but the "Enlightened One" might not appear for a whole thousand years. For the undead, the "Enlightened one" could only be someone who was recognized by both the past and the new generation, it could only be someone who was respected by everyone, it had to be like a firefly that showed the entire race the way in the dark night.
The Enlightened One did not influence the army, the economic system, and so on. The only thing he had to do was guide the entire race. If not for the Enlightened One, the undead as a race would have died out a thousand years ago.
Undead King Senmayer held a bleeding heart in his hands. There was a mark on his heart. If Su Xiao had seen it, he would have been surprised to find that it matched the mark on his arm by more than a third. 90%.
— Suspend the war with humans, " the undead king said as he stood up and raised his heart above him. "Find this man, kill him, and use his blood in memory of the Enlightened One.
----
In undead territory, in the Kro'inni Desert.
Su Xiao was walking in the desert. Everything he saw was dull and yellow. Whenever the wind picked up, the sand, along with bits of dead grass and sometimes small pebbles, flew into his face.
He had been wandering around the undead territory for two hours now. The map in his hands looked a little rough, but fortunately, it allowed him to determine his approximate location.
Su Xiao walked deep into the enemy's territory. Not long before, he had passed a small village. Not far from the village, he found an ordinary undead and let them discover him. He wanted to see if absolutely all the undead were hostile to him.
When the farmer saw Su Xiao, he instinctively took a few steps back and lay down on the ground with his hands behind his head.
During a protracted war, it wasn't the soldiers who suffered the most pain. Even if they were killed in battle, they only felt pain for a moment, but the civilians suffered from pain all year round.
It wasn't uncommon for humans to appear in undead territory. Since there was a very long and large-scale war going on between the two sides, sometimes small detachments from both sides managed to penetrate the enemy's territory.
This farmer's reaction convinced Su Xiao that the mark on his arm didn't arouse the hatred of all the undead. For example, there was nothing but fear in this farmer's eyes, and he was so scared that he didn't even think about self-defense.
Just in case, Su Xiao even showed him the mark on his arm. At first, the farmer was confused, then after a moment's thought, he gave him a thumbs-up.
The danger obviously didn't come from the mark itself. This confused Su Xiao a little. If the undead are going to hunt him, there must be a reason. Rai obviously wouldn't control all the undead to attack him endlessly.
What Su Xiao didn't know was that Heaven had taken a different path — he had shown the undead spirit leader a terrifying scene.
The mark on the Enlightened One's heart right now couldn't indicate Su Xiao's exact location and only showed the approximate area he was in. Even though the undead king himself wanted to find Su Xiao right now, he had to send out a huge number of soldiers to search for him, who would search through a huge area.
This was the initial stage.
Once the undead determined Su Xiao's location, the nearest army would be dispatched to surround and slow him down. This will be the second stage, the survival stage.
If she didn't have time to eliminate him, by then a known undead would come to the rescue and try to eliminate him. The appearance of these undead creatures will mark the beginning of a stage called "purgatory».
When the third stage lasts 6 hours, the fourth, nightmare, will begin. This was the final stage. Not only would Su Xiao have to face the strongest undead, but the world itself would reject him as well.
Su Xiao was sitting under a tree with a cigarette in his mouth and a map in his hand. Bubtney was lying on the ground next to him, snoring.
From the human capital to the undead territory, Su Xiao hadn't rested for even a minute, so by now he was tired and decided to rest for an hour.
Su Xiao was about 200 kilometers away from the Wall of God. Darkmoon Swamp was still a long way away. Even if he didn't stop for a moment and moved at top speed, it would take more than 10 hours to find the ruins.
The Law Shadow Ruins were not far from the Darkmoon Swamp. Su Xiao's plan was simple and primitive. He wanted to use the Law Shadow Ruins to get the best score possible. As long as he didn't come out of the ruins, the undead would only be able to wait helplessly outside for him.
The Law Shadow Ruins were very close to the undead capital, but so far, no undead had been able to enter them. This could only mean one thing-the undead couldn't enter these ruins.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao threw away his cigarette butt and stood up. If he can reach these ruins before being surrounded by an army of undead, he will win.
— Send it.
Su Xiao woke up Bubtny and called Amu, who was currently busy eating a tree trunk, and the group set off again.
Time flew by very quickly as they moved at great speed. Eight hours later, a breathless Su Xiao stopped and immediately heard someone fall behind him. Bubtni and Amu fell to the ground almost at the same time, and they were so tired that their eyes started to roll back in their heads.
Running at a high speed for eight hours straight wasn't an easy task, and since Su Xiao never slowed down once, Bubtney and Amu had to give it their all.
Su Xiao stopped in his tracks. Beads of sweat trickled down his chin. He didn't stop here because he was tired, but because it was too quiet, so quiet that it made it stand out too much.
Suddenly, Su Xiao heard the sound of metal rubbing. It rang out a few dozen meters away. Drawing his longsword, he immediately slashed it towards the sound.
*A clang*
A light blue light broke off from the edge of the blade and stabbed into the soil tens of meters away.
A ditch that was several meters deep appeared in the ground, and in this ditch, a body that had been cut into two pieces lay with a metal ball in its hand.
*Click-click...*
The metal ball turned and a tube as thick as a finger popped out. In the next moment, with a whoosh, red smoke shot straight up into the sky at an extremely high speed and finally let out a loud bang.
Although it was daytime, this red smoke was very noticeable and, worst of all, it held its shape very well.
At this moment, Su Xiao was 425 kilometers away from the Dark Moon Swamp and 436 kilometers away from the Law Shadow Ruins.
The first stage was about to come to an end. The undead army was supposed to attack him soon, and once it did, the survival stage would begin.
