Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 874 - 754: Decapitation Plan (2)
At this time, Lilulu explained: "Lilulu's divination magic is not the most advanced, and that witch demon probably has an anti-prophetic magic array engraved on its own Soul Box.
We were only able to divine this location; there's no way to find out any more specific details."
Upon hearing Lilulu's explanation, Kane nodded.
Having an accurate location is already very good.
Handing the paper to Yoyo beside him, he said: "Yoyo, scan this map and compare it to the maps of the Undead Influence and its surroundings to locate this place."
Yoyo nodded, emitting a blue light to scan the map.
In just a few seconds, the exact location was matched.
Seeing the precise location marked, Lilulu asked.
"Is there anything else? If not, Lilulu needs to leave and continue on her way."
Kane nodded, waving his hand at Lilulu: "That's all, you've been a great help this time."
"Hmph, of course, it was me, Lilulu's leaving."
With that, Lilulu vanished from sight.
And Kane nodded with satisfaction at the location on the map, as it was divined by a three-color magic professions expert.
Even though prophetic magic isn't top-tier, Lilulu still has some insights in this area.
Unless the witch demon had some extremely special means, there was no way to prevent it.
After all, there's a difference of a major level in strength.
The witch demon might not even know it was divined.
At this moment, the witch demon, checking the soldiers and preparing to attack the fortress, was sitting on a Bone War Chariot and suddenly opened its eyes.
Extending its perception, it checked the surroundings.
"No danger, huh? Why do I feel something's not right?"
"It seems the attack on the fortress needs to be more cautious."
The witch demon evidently sensed a trace of Lilulu's divination, but the information sensed was too little to know what it was facing.
Kane, looking at the location on the map, found it wasn't as he previously thought, in the witch demon's territory or the Undead's core area.
It was just not far from the Undead's invasion camp.
If Kane truly wanted to destroy this Soul Box, the witch demon would definitely find out.
Kane believed that a normal person would place numerous traps and various reconnaissance and defense skills at such an important item's location.
He didn't think he could avoid them.
He only hoped to initiate the defenses around the Soul Box at a suitable time and attempt to damage it.
This might be enough to attract the witch demon alone.
Thinking of this, Kane took the map and left the Guild Hall.
When Kane returned to the fortress,
Raphael and the others had already split into three groups.
The reason for such a small force dividing into three groups was mainly because the reinforcements were medium to high-tier combat forces, which the first line of defense's other fortresses lacked.
No matter how many low-level undead arrived, Kane's soldiers and the weapons currently traded to other soldiers could handle it.
The primary danger might be when high combat power is added among the Undead Influence.
Kane reached the fortress walls.
Looking at the undead camp, which was temporarily inactive.
Kane continued communicating with the ghost maid via BB machine.
According to the intelligence received, the witch demon planned to attack tomorrow night.
This night was about to pass.
Subsequently, there would be wave after wave of relentless attacks, like the tide, aimed at pinning Kane in the fortress.
For this reason, middle- and low-level undead kept arriving from the camp for support.
The attack might continue until the first line of defense in other places was breached.
After thinking for a while, Kane explained his beheading plan to eliminate the witch demon to the ghost maid.
Not long after, he received a message from the ghost maid.
It indicated that the two Immortal Guards were almost inseparable from the witch demon.
If the Soul Box had issues, the witch demon would likely bring the Immortal Guards along.
Kane pondered, after all, these were undead beings that had lived for who knows how long and were also at the gold-level of a magic professions.
Even when faced with a life-or-death crisis, they wouldn't panic to the point of making such fatal errors.
Surely, they would take their guards along when going to where the Soul Box showed problems.
Thinking about why the Soul Box was around the camp, with it being an item tied to their life, it obviously needed to be within immediate support range.
If it were placed miles away and something unexpected occurred, they wouldn't even make it in time to return.
Looks like, when the time comes, some helpers need to be brought along.
Kane suddenly thought of Kreya.
Kreya was currently waging battles in the Undead's core area, building her own undead influence.
If Kane and the others successfully decapitate the witch demon, wouldn't that make the witch demon's territory very suitable?
With Kreya's current strength, maintaining and causing chaos within the undead's ranks wouldn't be an issue.
With this in mind, he contacted Kreya via BB machine.
The two then met in the Guild Hall.
Seeing the location of the witch demon's territory marked on the map, it was handed to Kreya.
As for how Kane knew, it was naturally due to the ghost maid's intelligence.
This kind of information could be known by asking any gold-level or intelligent undead.
It wasn't some secretive news.
Looking at the map handed over by Kane, Kreya's expression was a bit joyful.
"This place is right near my current territory, it's an excellent spot, and I had planned to figure out how to capture it later."
"You've really helped me, Kane."
Hearing Kreya's words, Kane smiled and said, "You're the one who's been a great help."
"Prepare, once we eliminate the witch demon, the attack pace might quicken. It isn't worth spending too much time here."
Hearing Kane's words, Kreya nodded in agreement.
Lilulu reached the summit first among the tri-color ranks, dragging even Kane along.
He planned for a swift end, to promptly eliminate the Undead Influence.
Not as he previously thought, advancing step-by-step slowly, attempting to absorb all the undead and garner all credit.
He planned to first eliminate those undead marked in the Contract Book, then acquire the corpses.
As for the remaining undead, leaving it to the guild members, his soldiers, and the surrounding lands was absolutely fine.
No longer craving to devour all the credit himself.
