"What kind of energy is this?"

The Black Knight roared.

The hollow in his chest had no impact on him, but what bothered him was the energy rampaging inside his body.

This made his soul feel a great crisis, and he kept controlling his internal magic power to suppress this energy that was running wild inside him.

However, this energy was too slippery, and he couldn't understand what it was at all.

Plus, with Kane continuously attacking him, he, already not as strong as Kane, absolutely couldn't afford to be distracted by the energy inside his body at this moment.

It's over.

In that instant, he directly gave up on defending his body, raised his sword, and struck forcefully at Kane.

Sensing the power of rules, Kane might have slight intentions of enduring it.

An iron frame instantly appeared beneath his feet, lifting Kane into the sky to avoid this attack.

The blade light swung by the Black Knight showed no special effects, yet one could clearly see the consequences caused by it.

The space ahead was split open, a dark energy spreading out from the fissure, and the iron frame beneath Kane was also sliced apart.

Subsequently, the iron frame vanished into the air, and the cracks disappeared.

A pillar of blood-red energy shot down from above, penetrating the Black Knight's shoulder, causing a black-armored arm to fall to the ground.

The sword he held also dropped, the sharp tip thrusting into the ground.

At this time, the severed arm still gripped the sword hilt tightly, standing upright in mid-air.

But after the Black Knight unleashed this strike, he was utterly incapable of mounting any resistance.

The energy inside caused his figure to shrink continuously, even the once withered and resilient corpse began sprouting fluffy strands.

When he could no longer suppress the energy within, his fate was already sealed.

In just a few seconds, he had directly transformed into a chibi plush toy about one meter tall.

Dragging his remaining right arm around, he could feel the energy that enlarged him dissipating rapidly.

But the problem was that these one or two seconds were enough to sentence him to death.

The soft body made even movement extremely laborious and wobbly.

Standing on the high frame, Kane gathered a spear of light made from Holy Light in his hand, then forcefully threw it down.

A flash of gold streaked by.

The plush Black Knight was directly pinned to the ground by the Golden Spear.

The soul's scream echoed.

Wisps of black smoke rose from the wound.

And in Kane's pocket, the Transparent Magic Stone was filled with golden energy.

This signified the Black Knight's death.

With the Black Knight's death, Lilulu suddenly appeared on Kane's shoulder.

"I'll go first."

She said and vanished instantly.

When she reappeared, she was already beside the golden-level Skeleton.

"Nananana, turn into a little puppy!"

The Skeleton Undead sharply turned its head, but before seeing anything, it felt an energy surge into its marrow.

Rainbow-colored energy spiraled around its bones.

Seeing this, Longbei fiercely slammed the Shield, knocking it away.

"Oh~ Someone's turning into a skeleton puppy."

Every time Lilulu attached such a negative state, she had to whisper something in the enemy's ear as a reminder.

This seemed to be some sort of necessary ritual, otherwise its power would greatly diminish.

This golden-level Skeleton was clearly much weaker than the Black Knight, and just as Lilulu struck it.

Its body started changing, and within less than two seconds, before it could figure out the situation, it had already turned into a little skeleton puppy crawling on the ground.

Then a massive Giant Hammer enveloped in lightning smashed the skeleton puppy flat.

When Longbei lifted the hammer again.

In a square dent lay a heap of irregular bone fragments.

With Lilulu's assistance, the three dealt with two golden-level Undead, taking less than two minutes in total.

Of course, this was because each of the three was stronger than the enemies.

Afterward, the three who had freed up their hands easily cleared the remaining hundreds of Undead.

After handling the spoils of war, everyone immediately returned to the place where they had previously discarded the vehicles.

At this moment, Tistek looked at Kane and asked with a frown, "President, are you injured?"

"No... When did this happen?"

Upon hearing Tistek's words, Kane was about to say no, but then he noticed the scratch on the index finger of his left hand.

He raised his hand for a closer look.

On his finger was a crack, thin wisps of black smoke emanating from it.

Exactly the same as the black smoke that emanated from the space sliced open by the Black Knight's attack earlier.

Even though I anticipated and dodged, I still got nicked?

"How is it, Kane, do you feel any discomfort?"

Longbei asked from the side.

And Tistek, following the hint from his Origin Skills, began expending magic power to try to heal the crack on Kane's finger.

However, it was to no avail.

"Don't waste magic power, this is the residual power of rules, it can't be healed. Only time can erode the rule power on it."

Kane stopped Tistek from continuing to use magic power for healing, as he had roughly figured it out.

The Black Knight's attack that sliced open space essentially rendered it ineffective.

It was like Kane's scratched finger, which now felt non-existent to Kane.

Expending effort to probe, one could only feel as if blocked by some energy rules.

In other words, if the attack had hit at the time, the hit part would directly lose sensation and become ineffective.

Quite an interesting rule.

However, Kane wasn't bothered by this kind of injury.

"No need to worry, it's just that this index finger can't be utilized for now, it doesn't affect my combat abilities. We'll let Meizike help cleanse it when we get back."

Kane waved his hand, indicating to everyone that there was no need to be overly concerned.

Hearing Kane say this, everyone had to give up.

Afterwards, the group boarded their vehicle and continued advancing towards their target location.

...

Soon after, the Undead's attacking camp discovered that the patrolling squad had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Kane and his group were about to reach their destination.

They looked at the stone tower ahead, nestled in a vast graveyard.

Various rotting Walking Dead were aimlessly wandering around the surroundings.

The entire area emitted an unbearable stench.

"It's so smelly!" Lirulu complained in Kane's ear.

Unable to stand it any longer, she waved her Magic Wand.

A small bubble immediately appeared on her nose, filtering the outside air for her.

Seeing this magic, Longbei said, "Make one for me too."

Lirulu waved her Magic Staff, and the bubble appeared on everyone's nose.

"This is much more comfortable."

Then Longbei asked, "So, how do you plan to take down this place, buddy?"

But before he could finish asking, he noticed Kane's expression was a bit off.

At this moment, Kane lowered his head to look at the dark crack on his index finger, and the strands of black gas emanating from it.

"What happened? Is there a problem with this wound after all?"

Hearing Longbei's words, Kane nodded.

Divine Gaze made Kane feel that this wound had been giving off a bad premonition since just now.

But the problem is, this bad premonition doesn't necessarily mean any life-threatening danger.

Instead, it may lead to unexpected situations, even if dangerous, it wouldn't threaten his life.

The reason Kane frowned was because, for him, what's not life-threatening danger could be different for others.

After all, this future crisis foresight originally came from Kane himself.

It didn't consider others.

That is, danger that is only ordinary for Golden-level Kane may be devastating weather for the Silver members or Copper members beside him.

This foresight never considers anyone else beside him, only Kane himself.

"This wound might have issues, never mind, let's deal with this quickly and head back to let Meizike purify it."

After saying that, Kane didn't want to take risks and directly waved his Magic Power.

He himself entered Divine Power state, using Divine Power specifically Radiant Balance.

A light ball flew into the sky.

Instantly, dark clouds gathered, but concealed by the night, the sudden phenomenon in the sky didn't catch anyone's attention.

However, the increasing Magic Power in the clouds eventually drew the attention of those Necromancers inside the stone tower.

A few decayed figures, wearing tattered black Magic Robes quickly walked out of the stone tower. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

They raised their heads to look at the sky.

"Is something up there gathering energy?"

"Seems like it, and this energy really irritates my Soul Fire."

"This situation...have we seen it before?"

The sudden words made these Necromancers recall something unpleasant.

Their Soul Fire flickering intensely, instantly wanting to flee from here.

However, a massive Golden light column, accompanied by countless lightning bolts came crashing down from the sky.

Directly enveloping the entire stone tower.

Seeing such a scene, Kane said directly to the group behind him: "With such a big commotion, let's leave quickly."

Afterwards, the group immediately boarded the vehicle behind them and started heading back the way they came.

But just a few minutes into the drive, Youyou issued a warning.

"A large troop of Undead is gathering around here, they've already formed a surrounding circle outside."

Hearing this, Kane immediately had Youyou pull up a simple data map.

Only to see a bunch of red dots gathering a few kilometers away, spreading into a semicircle, like a giant net.

As if they had long locked in on their target.

Seeing this situation, Kane took another look at his actual wound.

So that's how it is?

No wonder there was a bad premonition.

Such encirclement wouldn't threaten Kane's life, but it could indeed bring him some unnecessary danger.

So having that Black Knight lead the patrol squad had its reasons?

Anyone wounded by him would be marked; the black gas emanating from this wound.

Probably continually sending the enemies Kane's location.

Fortunately, they didn't linger around the stone tower, otherwise, when realizing, they might have been completely surrounded already.

"But thinking this is enough to surround me, isn't that a bit foolish, or maybe you all are just too unlucky."

Kane couldn't help but say.

If someone else were trapped here today, they might really need to expend some effort to potentially break out.

But coincidentally, the one surrounded in the middle was Kane.

It's uncertain whether to say Kane is lucky, or the Undead are just too unlucky.

He waved his arm.

Magic Power instantly coalesced into a flying device beside him.

"Quick, quick, quick, let's get on and leave here, let those Undead eat dust below."

Hearing Kane's words, everyone laughed, boarded the flying device and then the flying device soared into the high sky.

At a rapid speed, it skimmed over the heads of the Undead.

The Witch Demon riding his skeletal chariot, watched the flying device pass over his head.

His face, like a dried corpse, showed no expression.

But the flickering Soul Fire in his eye sockets indicated his heart was far from calm now.
