Chapter 808 - 369: Undead and the Goddess of Vengeance
...
...
Eastern Province, southern Moon Lake Forest.
A giant eagle about the size of a cow flapped its wings in panic, trying to escape as if something terrifying was chasing it.
Just as it was about to flee beyond the forest’s range, Thunder’s figure suddenly surged up from below!
The giant eagle immediately flapped its wings, trying to change direction to continue escaping, but was still not as fast as Thunder, and was clawed tightly.
Thunder flapped its wings and descended, directly pinning the giant eagle to the ground.
Luo De slowly walked out of the forest, smiling as he looked at the giant eagle,
"You can’t escape, why not join my team obediently."
Luo De squatted down, watching the giant eagle pinned on the grass, and said earnestly:
"If you join the army, you’ll have Empire establishment, everything is free, and safety is assured."
"And your brood of children won’t face any danger in the future."
"And in the future, I may let you evolve once more."
Luo De gently stroked the giant eagle’s head.
But the Dragon Slayer aura emanating from him made the giant eagle dare not move.
The giant eagle clearly understood Luo De’s words, its eyes filled with delight.
But finally, it closed its eyes and nodded.
"Good bird, so obedient."
Luo De smiled, extending his hand to coalesce a seed of nature into the giant eagle’s body.
...
...
These days Luo De traversed the mountain forests of the southern and eastern provinces, capturing all the Flying Magical Beasts reported by the demon hunting team.
Two giant eagles, four giant bats, and one giant owl, totaling seven in all.
Notably, Luo De found that gigantism is the primary direction for beasts’ mutations.
The strength of these seven magical beasts is weak; apart from increased size, they don’t possess any magic, perfect as mounts.
Luo De doesn’t need them to participate directly in combat.
In the future, they just need to carry soldiers and incendiary bombs into the air, throwing them into the opponent’s army to complete the task.
This can be considered the simplest bomber, right?
Most importantly, the cost is low.
In normal times, these Flying Magical Beasts can also serve as messengers’ mounts, transporting crucial items or letters.
Watching the seed of nature integrate into the giant eagle’s body, Luo De gestured to Thunder to release the giant eagle.
"Alright, let’s continue to the next target point."
Luo De turned to Vivian, "Seems like it’s just fifty miles from here, right?"
Vivian didn’t immediately respond, her head lowered as if contemplating.
But soon she lifted her head, meeting Luo De’s gaze, and promptly reported: "The Western Alliance sent back news; the small nations connected to the Southwest Border are all normal."
"But the small nations surrounding the western coast of the Western Alliance have all been overwhelmed by the ghoul plague."
...
...
Western Alliance, Green Forest Kingdom, capital city.
On the city wall, Prince Jin Chui draped in a black cloak, completely transformed.
His pale face lacked any blood, with rot on both cheeks, and his eye sockets emitted a blood-red glow, fierce and horrific.
He stood in the shadow of the tower, quietly surveying everything within the city.
The inside was completely in chaos.
Countless people infected by the ghoul plague grew claws and sharp fangs, pouncing on nearby living people, biting madly.
They were attracted by flesh and blood, showing no fear of the soldiers’ weapons.
Even when facing knights, they would not retreat.
People bitten would become infected by the ghoul plague, turning into half-bodied ghouls, crawling toward other living people.
The strength of the ghouls isn’t strong, similar to ordinary soldiers.
But people ultimately have emotions, especially when confronted by such unknown monsters; panic is inevitable.
Once grabbed and bitten by a ghoul, killing them was futile.
The greatest harm to ghouls comes from the knights.
Even a Junior Knight, with enough composure, can decapitate them with a sword.
Lomisa stood behind Prince Jin Chui, respectfully asking in a low voice, "My lord, should I go kill those knights?"
"Having lived with humans for so long, are you starting to sympathize with these lowly cannon fodder?"
Prince Jin Chui’s voice was cold and hoarse, "Or do you think I care about the life and death of these ghouls?"
"Sorry, my lord, your servant Lomisa is too foolish!"
Lomisa quickly knelt down and admitted the mistake, his voice trembling.
"Stand up."
Prince Jin Chui’s tone was calm, yet the voice remained cold, "Among all the servants, you’re the most worthless, yet your Life Force is the most resilient."
"Look at the thin imperial bloodline you prepared for me in this body, incapable of bearing my power."
"If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t need to rely on these ghouls to counteract the world’s aversion towards me."
The figure of Prince Jin Chui before Lomisa was once the goddess of necromancy and revenge, Kali.
Previously, Lomisa’s words were all nonsense.
Compared to the Magic and Death Goddess, Kali is more evil and insane.
Kali was once a goddess of weak Divine Power, adept at commanding undead legions, using magic to manipulate memory, consuming souls, with more followers among necromancers, avengers, and shadow wizards.
Because she was a goddess of weak Divine Power, she wasn’t noticed by many powerful beings, concealing a strand of divine soul in slumber, avoiding wizard hunts and obliteration by the world’s will.
But wanting to resurrect through this, even a weak goddess soul would be noticed by the self-sealed world now and suffer retaliation from the rules.
