But the fear of death was magnified, for those who turned themselves into liches were not exactly fearless of dying.

At this moment, he heard Kane's voice.

"In that case, you'll die here."

As he spoke, the lich saw a giant, indiscernible goblet-shaped object appear above Kane's head, pouring blue liquid over him.

Looking at this object, the desire surging from his soul even overwhelmed the fear of death.

Kane felt the magic power within him instantly replenish, as if it was inexhaustible.

Kane opened his golden eyes, looked at the lich in front of him, and said calmly, "You are probably the first to enjoy this skill. Rest assured, death is painless."

"Wait!"

The lich's words were cut off.

As Kane's words fell.

A dazzling golden light radiated from his body, instantly filling the entire space.

Unbeknownst to Longbei, a black pair of sunglasses had appeared over his eyes.

The blinding light was actually composed of pure punishing holy light energy.

In the instant the light flashed, the lich began to stack magic shields on himself nonstop.

These shields immediately began to melt under the illumination of the holy light, until the lich could no longer feel the magic power around him.

Everything around was repelling him, repelling the undead.

The two unprotected immortal guards wailed in the golden light, turning into a wisp of black mist.

Not even a pile of ashes was left, as the black aura disappeared in the golden light.

The entire space was now filled with holy light energy and elements.

"No! I don't want to die yet, there's still endless knowledge waiting…"

Amidst the wailing, the lich was engulfed by the holy light energy surrounding him.

Then, amidst the particles of light, he turned to ashes, his soul burned into dust.

After ten seconds passed, the holy light energy still filled the entire space.

As Kane withdrew his shield, the golden holy light energy began to surge outwards like a tide.

All the undead affected turned to dust, and the undead energy surrounding was pushed outwards.

Until this holy light energy began to dissipate into the air.

Even so, the surrounding one kilometer was no longer suitable for any undead existence.

Longbei, who came beside Kane, couldn't help but comment.

"Such a simple yet effective, exaggerated attack."

Hearing Longbei's words beside him, Kane smiled and said, "You can't call that an attack. I simply kept pouring out holy light energy."

However, such an attack turned out to be most effective against the undead.

Because this holy light energy wasn't ordinary, but came with the punishing attribute of Radiant Balance.

Combined with infinite magic power, it truly was a nuclear weapon against the undead.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Kane's face.

Then, right beside him, he quickly constructed a flying device.

"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. If we don't move fast, you might miss your chance at the front line."

"Oh, right, right, let's go quickly. I haven't even had a proper action since running over here with you."

Saying so, the two swiftly boarded the flying device, quickly flying toward the direction of the fortress.

......

At the battlefield in front of the fortress.

With the death of the lich, waves upon waves of cannon fodder skeleton soldiers began to wander aimlessly.

Unless soldiers came close enough for them to detect their presence, they did not move at all.

Besides these skeleton soldiers, there were also numerous walking dead and many Frankensteins.

These undead that suddenly stood still and stopped advancing attracted the attention of all the intelligent undead around.

"What's going on? Why have they stopped attacking?"

"Their control lies in the hands of their master, perhaps…"

Floating in the sky, ready to screech at any moment, a banshee spoke.

Then she too seemed to feel the control of her body vanish, an excited expression appeared on her face, and she turned into a black mist and flew away.

Aside from her, all the intelligent undead once under the lich's control felt the shackles on their bodies break.

Knowing what this meant, they all began to retreat in disarray, having no intention of staying.

"Damn it! Damn it! The skeleton maker is dead!"

Understanding the situation, the undead began cursing furiously.

Some keen-eyed undead had already started retreating backwards.

Everyone knew liches had soul boxes, losing control meant the lich was truly fallen, and even the soul box had been uncovered.

With the lich gone, the frontline offensive lost its meaning.

Because currently, at the front line, there was no undead strong enough like a lich to hold the entire scene.

Many undead had already begun controlling their subordinates to retreat.

It was time to leave, the next attack had to be led by the Lord of the Undead, dispatching more potent undead to command.

This scene did not escape the eyes of the attacking soldiers.

"These damned undead fear us, they fear death! Brothers, charge! For those lost lives!"

With this loud shout, the entire battlefield echoed with the roars of all the soldiers.

Many soldiers, who had almost no strength left, once again shouted and charged forward.

This time, there weren't many undead left to stop them, more of those cannon fodder skeletons were dazedly staggering.

The undead soldiers retreated like a tide, behind them the Lantern Knight Order and the fortress knights pursued relentlessly.

"Haha, looks like I came at just the right time!"

A hearty voice descended from the sky.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, dust swirled everywhere in the air.

The sudden figure drew everyone's attention.

A giant figure landed on the undead's retreat path.

It was Longbei, who had enlarged his body to the maximum, and as he landed, the ground cracked, with exaggerated lightning bursting forth.

Attacking all the undead without discrimination.

But Longbei's size was ultimately limited, unable to block all undead retreat routes.

Coming to their senses, many undead continued to retreat from the sides.

At this time, however, the earth ahead of them rose, creating an almost kilometer-long earth wall.

The wall was over ten meters high, completely blocking the undead's path.

"This way is blocked, gentlemen."

A figure shimmering with holy light stood atop the ten-meter-high stone wall.

"It's His Majesty Kane!"

"Brothers charge! It's time to repay blood with blood!"

Kane's appearance instantly boosted all soldiers' morale to its peak.

"What a monster."

Looking at Kane's figure and that kilometer-spanning giant stone wall, Miralina muttered to herself.
