After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Boom!

The magic circle and magic stone on the gate of Green Canyon City emitted an incredibly intense red light, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

The high-powered magic stone shattered instantly, and the shockwave from the explosion sent the city gate flying hundreds of meters away, overturning a large pile of shattered bones.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Oswald, leaning on his magic staff, appeared on the battlefield. Passing over countless undead, he saw a figure in the thick fog.

The undead discovered his presence, and the bone staircases clinging to the city wall instantly crumbled. Countless scarlet eyes, filled with madness, swarmed towards him rapidly.

As an outcast among the undead, Oswald attracted the hatred of all the undead present the moment he appeared.

With crimson eyes and a cacophony of roars, Oswald took a step forward. Vast amounts of lightning gathered in his palm, and with just a flick of his finger, the skeleton in front of him was reduced to dust in endless explosions, leaving only stardust dancing like fireflies.

Amidst the deafening thunder, Oswald's every step resembled the advance of an earth-shattering giant. As his magic power was consumed frantically, the undead magic surrounding the undead legion was also continuously drawn into his body like water being pumped in.

However, there were still too many undead. When Oswald's body was attacked for the first time, he did not hesitate to shoot out his black flesh in the form of threads, which wrapped around the white bones that came to fight.

As the black markings on his body faded, Oswald gradually revealed the terrifying appearance of an undead. Dense threads continuously wrapped around and cut, slicing through the air with a whooshing sound, shredding piece by piece of white bone.

At this moment, he is undoubtedly the king of the undead.

Desperate, Luna helped the still-standing Paul to the city wall. His purplish-black facial bones were particularly conspicuous. They discovered Duke Oswald, who had charged into the undead army.

"Brother..." Luna breathed a sigh of relief at first, then looked worried.

She didn't know what to do in this situation.

However, after Lisa and Phil vomited blood and fainted one after another, the wind magic stopped. Thick white fog quickly obscured the view on the battlefield, with only the powder of the star mushroom still swaying with a faint light.

"Luna, the Duke has done it again... We have to retreat, retreat back to Ironlake City."

Paul didn't know why the Duke had suddenly appeared here. Judging from the sound of the explosion, the Duke must have appeared at the gate of Green Canyon.

Lacking sufficient strength, they chose caution and refrained from investigating the city gates. That enormous bone hand had definitely left something behind, but Paul didn't know whether the Duke had thwarted the enemy's plot or whether the Duke had... willingly walked into a trap for their sake.

However, they couldn't help the Duke. All they could do now was to get the unconscious soldiers away from the battlefield as quickly as possible.

The thick fog did not affect Oswald's spiritual vision in any way. He already saw things in a hazy way, so this little bit of visual interference was nothing to him.

After crushing the bones that symbolized sin, and as the undead army receded like a tide, Oswald withdrew the black lines and returned to his original appearance.

The giant worm remained completely still. This calamity worm, which resembled an ant but was as large as a mountain, simply waited quietly for Oswald to approach it.

Standing atop the giant worm, the figure clad in a black robe gave a light, graceful laugh that pierced through the mist and reached Oswald's ears.

With less than 100 meters between them, all three parties felt a terrifying sense of oppression emanating from each other.

Diana pulled back her hood, tossed her hair to reveal her white eyes, and nodded gracefully and confidently to Oswald, who had stopped in his tracks.

It must be said that after Diana's body was possessed by some being, her taste in clothing and makeup became much more natural, and she shed her girlishness and became more charming.

"Oswald, thank you for keeping our appointment..."

But she misunderstood. Oswald stopped not to have a proper chat with her.

The moment the staff struck the ground, the long-accumulated immortality magic was released. The giant insect instinctively tried to dodge, but hundreds of corrupting chains that suddenly surged from the ground still abruptly knocked it into the air.

Chains thicker than tree trunks intertwined and coalesced, rapidly transforming into the form of an immortal giant python. It raised its head, opened its steel maw full of locks, and fiercely bit the falling giant insect's body.

The battle erupted suddenly; the mere collision of the two calamities unleashed a devastating force. The giant python coiled around the giant worm and rolled into the forest, overturning hundreds of feet of soil, while the worm's bones were continuously broken and worn away in the python's mouth.

On the other side, Oswald didn't let Diana off the hook either. The two activated their abilities simultaneously, and the arrows, as fast as they were dodging, grazed past Oswald. He swiftly waved his hand, unleashing a thunderous roar, and the tremor in the space deflected countless arrows.

The moment Diana's figure was locked on, Oswald stepped forward, drew his sword, and quickly closed in. He precisely parried the longsword that Diana had hastily conjured, and with a series of sharp sword flourishes, he pressed forward step by step. Then, the Spirit Wind Sword pierced into Diana's left arm and shoulder, and a spurt of blood gushed out.

The earth trembled uncontrollably, birds were startled in the forest, and the wind howled incessantly. By the time Diana realized the extraordinary nature of the sword, the wind blades that the Spirit Wind Sword possessed had already brutally torn her arm apart along the wound.

Bone and blood shattered inch by inch. Oswald dodged Diana's slash by sidestepping and smashed her other arm with a single finger.

At the same time, countless black lines pierced into her body, suddenly pulling the repelled Diana closer. Oswald swung his sword horizontally, and the two equally inhuman faces met.

Oswald's superb swordsmanship allowed him to effortlessly and swiftly decapitate Diana.

Oswald deftly shook the blood off his sword. Given that each of the cursed avatars was a mechanic-heavy monster, he simply stepped back and cautiously observed the corpse that had suddenly vanished from its spot.

Diana's two powers after becoming the embodiment of the curse: time and weapons.

The Oswald time manipulation is understandable; it's simply that Diana used time reversal during the chaotic three-way battle in her previous life, thus gaining the power of time.

But was she paralyzed by fear of the great battle?

Why is she able to summon all sorts of attack weapons and create an army all by herself?

Besides, isn't she a magician? Her swordsmanship and physical skills aren't that great either.

The wind pressure tore through the air, and with a deafening roar, the bone hand that the giant insect had been biting slammed heavily to the ground. The solid rock layer cracked like a spider web, and dust shot into the sky.

Oswald turned his head to look, then quickly turned back to raise his sword, narrowly avoiding Diana's attack.

With just one glance, Oswald noticed something amiss with the longsword in Diana's hand.

The pitted and uneven surface reflected a peculiar metallic luster. This knife didn't seem to be forged; it looked more like it was formed from some kind of liquid.

Diana parted her lips slightly, "Oswald, in the highest name, I will banish you."

The lifeless bone hand trembled slightly, the knuckles shaking as if the lingering fear of something awakening from slumber was the last sign of life. As the dust settled, an endless pressure gripped the space where Oswald was.

His chest heaved violently, not understanding why his lungs were throbbing with excitement. Oswald struggled to raise his finger, but his angry shout was abruptly cut off by a powerful bone hand.

A thunderous roar erupted, and the moment Oswald was seized by the bone hand, Diana disregarded the tearing sound of the thunder inflicting on her body.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the exploding flesh and blood all over her body, blood gushing from her seven orifices, and her vision going completely black due to the strange power activated by Oswald.

The blade missed its mark, and the corrupted chains burst forth from the earth, binding the bone hand from all sides. The chains tightened, emitting a piercing sound, barely managing to buy Oswald a tiny bit of space to move.

Black threads emerged from between Diana's bony fingers, spreading outwards and tearing her body apart.

With the three parties vying for power, the passage of time accelerated once again, in a leapfrog manner!

Diana exerted almost all her strength to finally reshape her body amidst a series of thunderstorms and the slashing and cutting of thin lines, struggling against the rapid flow of time to deliver a stab that even she herself was unsure if it would hit its mark.

Fortunately, fate was on her side.

The blade, forged from a strange metal, pierced the bone hand and also struck Oswald's body.

The moment her vision returned to normal, Diana quickly stepped back, only to see the giant serpent made of corrupt chains slowly dissipate in the distance, while Oswald, overwhelmed by intense emotions, fell into a coma.

"Fall into hell, Oswald."

Within the thick fog, as if sensing some kind of presence, the undead gathered and stood silently in place, as if participating in a grand ceremony.

A massive, illusory gate appeared and unfolded on the ground with a dull creak, and Oswald, along with his skeletal hand, plunged into boundless darkness.
