Dig Up the Sun Emperor's Legacy: I Build an Invincible Undead Legion-Chapter 174: Final Performance

High up in the distance, a red-eyed crow was hauling ass through the sky.

Suddenly it turned to look.

In its demon eye vision, black waves kept spreading out.

"Keh hahaha!

Old fool, you’ll believe anything I tell you?!

Got played!"

The crow’s face showed pure evil.

"If we bump into each other again, I promise to give you a real shot at transformation!"

Luckybe silently ’blessed’ that disgusting soul, turned around and kept flying.

...

Soon enough, the Shield Guards’ sweep reached this hall.

"Creak!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The door swung open.

A Shield Guard walked in.

The smell of blood hit like a freight train, like some brutal massacre had just gone down!

On the floor, some weird circle was glowing with thick black light, but strangely didn’t give the Shield Guard any bad vibes.

Suddenly, a voice called out:

"Help... help!"

The Shield Guard looked toward the sound.

Under a table in the corner of the hall crouched some hunched-over guy.

Fresh blood was gushing from his body—he was messed up bad.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

The Shield Guard walked over to check him out.

The hunched guy heard footsteps and ’struggled’ to lift his head:

"Quick... quick help... help me!"

His eyes were full of that desperate need to live, looking at the figure coming his way.

Until he saw clearly who had shown up:

’Skel... skeleton monster???’

Salimo, playing the hunched guy, was thrown for a loop for a second.

He snapped back to reality quick.

Though it was hard to swallow, this had to be the force the garrison sent to wipe him out.

’Can it even understand me?’

No choice—to stay alive, the disguised Salimo couldn’t screw up his act.

He had to keep playing the part.

"I’ve got dirt on President Salimo!!!"

Putting on a hell of a show like some badly hurt guy desperate to live.

Just then, a fireball came blazing in:

"Wah!"

It was Red Spirit, having a little ’search competition’ with Purple Vortex.

It kept zipping around and happened to end up here.

’...Another monster!’

Salimo’s eye twitched.

Had he been out of the loop too long?

Was the garrison now all about using monsters in fights?

He worried these monsters couldn’t understand him and he’d been putting on this show for nothing.

"Wah?"

As a former Spirit Realm creature, Red Spirit immediately picked up on the desperately hidden bad intentions in the corner!

"Help... help me...

I know stuff about President Salimo!"

Noticing the new monster’s attention, Salimo immediately started fake-crying.

Red Spirit’s reddish eyes watched, hand touching its chin, like it was thinking something over.

Not getting the reaction he wanted, Salimo felt really uncomfortable:

’When will a normal human show up!’

If a normal human came, with his perfect disguise and intel about ’Salimo’ running off to Black Sinner hangouts, he could definitely get the humans to trust him.

Then he’d have a shot at sneaking away.

But now, one after another were monsters that couldn’t understand what people were saying.

Really tough to deal with...

"Wah!"

Red Spirit finished reading the situation, instantly getting everything from Salimo’s soul vibes!

It immediately passed the message to its master through their soul connection...

...

"Old snake, pretty slick with the disguises."

Carlos got Red Spirit’s intel and immediately gave orders:

"Purple Vortex, get your butt over there.

You two team up.

Don’t give him even a prayer of getting away!"

"Roar!"

That red guy beat me there!!!

Purple Vortex immediately fired up its Dark Purple Force Field, its whole body shooting out like a rocket!

...

In the Hall

"Help... help me... please..."

The hunched guy wheezed weakly, putting in serious effort:

’Give me some kind of reaction!

Can you understand English or not!’

He was losing his mind.

These two monsters just stood there watching his ’performance’ without doing jack—did they have serious issues?

Salimo felt like some monkey in a zoo being gawked at by these two monsters.

"Keep it cool, keep it cool. Can’t blow my cover.

What if someone’s watching from the shadows?"

Suddenly:

"Boom!"

A tall figure smashed through the roof, crashing onto the floor with dust flying everywhere.

Salimo immediately looked up with hope:

"Finally someone human?"

"Roar!"

The dust cleared, showing some freaky put-together human face, black-red flesh, twisted swirling stuff...

’Damn it! Another monster!!!’

Salimo almost couldn’t hold back from spitting blood!

If nobody who could understand was around to see this performance, it was totally pointless!

"Help... help... save..."

Salimo kept wailing, but without the serious commitment to the disguise he’d had at first.

Just then, terrifying danger instantly covered his whole body as his survival instincts went ballistic:

"Oh crap!!!"

Salimo couldn’t worry about the disguise anymore, desperately channeling his psionic energy as his high-tier power exploded:

"Roar!"

Terrifying Dark Purple Force Field poured out, closing in fast with absolutely horrifying pressure:

"There he is!!!"

Without thinking twice, Salimo kicked off with his old legs, body moving back fast, trying to escape the Dark Purple Force Field’s trap!

"Oh hell!"

Salimo suddenly felt extremely terrifying death vibes from where he was retreating.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he was immediately scared stiff!

"Wah!"

Red Spirit appeared behind Salimo, spitting crimson flames as overwhelming seas of fire blocked every escape route!

Salimo roared at the top of his lungs:

"Don’t you want to know where Salimo ran off to?!"

He tried his last desperate move, but the two big shots didn’t budge!

Attacked from the front and back—nowhere to go forward! Nowhere to go back!

Salimo was screwed.

Damn luck made him run into monsters that couldn’t understand a word he was saying!!!

"Sandstorm Spikes!"

At the do-or-die moment, Salimo unleashed his most powerful spirit skill.

Countless sand spikes shot out from his body, gleaming like metal as they rapidly extended, trying to bust through the blockade!

"Crack!"

The Dark Purple Force Field instantly shattered the spikes piece by piece!

"Sizzle!"

Blazing red flames instantly melted the spikes!

Two terrifying forces closed in fast, crushing Salimo’s final desperate attempt.

Salimo’s power almost gone, knowing he was toast, he laughed like a maniac:

"Keh keh keh!

None of you can get away!

Can’t escape! Can’t escape!"

The Dark Purple Force Field and crimson flames finally crashed together!

"Boom!"

Salimo in the middle instantly turned to dust!

Then, piles of treasure chests exploded out from his storage space, scattered all over the floor.

But the two big shots didn’t pay any attention, instead staring each other down:

"Roar!"

I killed him!!!

"Wah!"

I killed him!!!
