Ark Undead

These monsters were beings they had never faced before, and just confronting them was enough to feel their spirits being corrupted.

However, just a dozen seconds after the silver-haired deep-sea hunter crashed into the crater, another figure was sent flying out with a loud bang.

The operators, who had just caught their breath, watched in astonishment as Skadi's body arced through the air.

When she landed, she wedged the greatsword in her hand into the ground, tearing a crack in it before stopping her backward momentum.

At this moment, Skadi looked up with some surprise and uncertainty.

She had just entered and killed a few abyss monsters when she felt a deathly threat.

Instinctively, he held the greatsword horizontally in front of him, and an irresistible force slammed into the blade.

Without any preparation for the impact, Skadi's body flew backward along the passage until she just landed, at which point the force dissipated.

The attack just now?!

Just as Skadi was trying to figure out what kind of being it was, another shadow flashed out from the pit.

Even if the fiery red figure merely passed by people, they could feel as if their very breath was breathing flames.

The figure then suddenly crashed into Skadi, who had just regained her balance.

ding ding ding...

A series of metallic clanging sounds echoed from below the large hole.

No one could see how many times Skadi and the shadow exchanged blows in those two or three seconds.

All that could be heard was the sound of weapons clashing, loud enough to make one's body stiffen, as dense as sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface of a breakfast bun.

Amidst the crashing sound, Skadi finally saw the person who had appeared.

She was startled, and the force of her slashes unconsciously weakened.

This weakness exposed a fatal gap in the defensive net formed by her slashes.

The blade moved upwards along the sword, about to pierce her throat.

"Melantha?!"

The two figures stopped abruptly.

The blade pressed against Skadi's throat, but the sharp edge did not pierce the skin, and the burning flames vanished from the blade in an instant.

The girl's somewhat bewildered gaze gradually sharpened and became focused.

She quickly retracted the blade in her hand, then raised her eyes to look at the deep-sea hunter in front of her.

Skadi met his gaze.

In a daze, she saw the sun.

497. Drak, hidden within the dragon's body

After a brief exchange with Skadi, Melantha was brought back from her trance by Skadi, and she quickly regained her composure and returned to normal.

While charging into battle, it's easy to enter a state of selfless combat, in which Melantha will only attack any enemy who harbors murderous intent.

When she fought Skadi just now, Skadi didn't even have time to see who it was before Melantha slashed her with one strike, so naturally she felt a bit hostile towards her.

However, after the two stopped fighting, Skadi belatedly realized that the person she had just been fighting was Melantha.

When did that immortal disciple become so strong?

"Melantha?"

Skadi moved closer, trying to find something out of place in Melantha.

Melantha's power is now so great that Skadi is somewhat afraid of her. It is more of a superior life form suppressing a subordinate one, and Skadi has no clue what to do about it.

How could Melanie have achieved such a transformation in just a few hours? It's hard to say.

"What... happened to you?"

Skadi wants to find out what happened to Melantha.

But Melantha stared intently at Skadi, and after a moment's thought, she opened her mouth.

"Has the teacher not arrived yet?"

"Yes."

Skadi nodded.

"He's still on his way, it should be a while."

When Melantha rushed out of the cave, she learned about the current battlefield situation from Ace, and it was basically consistent with what she knew.

The undead have just started their journey from Rhodes Island. If the transport fleet takes the undead with them, it will probably be a while before they reach Londinium.

Now, Melanie has made an important decision.

"Skadi... Sister. I need your help."

Melantha looked up at Skadi in front of her, hesitating, unsure of what to say to her.

As Skadi looked at Melantha in this state, the scene that flashed through her mind was the one she had seen in her dream a while ago.

"Just tell me how you want me to help you."

Skadi did not refuse; on the contrary, she had a premonition that her dream might reveal more than just an empty vision of the future.

There must be something connecting them.

"I'm going to find Theresis."

Melanie said.

"I'm going to kill Theresis before the teacher arrives! At least... at least I can't let him get away with it so easily..."

As she continued, Melantha's voice grew softer and softer until even Skadi, standing right in front of her, could not hear her.

Predictably, Skadi will likely be surprised and then question Melantha about why she did this.

Such a dangerous undertaking, and the operation had to begin before the Undead arrived. In the original plan, Theresis was the Undead's prey.

Is Melantha planning to overstep her bounds?

But surprisingly...

"it is good."

Skadi didn't give it much thought; she simply nodded and agreed to Melantha's request.

"But I need to know why. You also mentioned Mr. Undying. What did you see? The future?"

Skadi looked at Melantha, and Melantha stared back at Skadi.

Melanza nodded slowly.

"You could say that... If I told you I came from the future, would you believe me?"

Melantha hesitated before revealing her situation. But she wasn't sure if Skadi would believe such an outlandish explanation.

However, Skadi only paused for a few seconds in surprise before speaking with some doubt.

"You are his successor, aren't you?"

Skadi still remembered the knife Melantha had just used to slash at her.

The flames on the blade were all too familiar; it was like a weapon in the hands of an undead, only in a different form.

That flame, that temperature that made Skadi's heart pound, was undoubtedly the power wielded by the undead.

Logically speaking, Melantha shouldn't be able to control the power of fire so freely at this time.

But what if it was the figure Skadi caught a glimpse of...

Melanie simply nodded silently in response to this question.

"I understand. How can I help you?"

Skadi didn't hesitate any longer; she had made up her mind.

"Before that, I need to borrow someone from the professor."

Melantha reached out to Skadi.

Do you have the doctor's contact information?

At that moment, the Doctor, who was simultaneously commanding the main battlefield, received a communication request from Skadi.

He frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened to Ace again. Why was it Skadi calling?

He immediately connected to Skadi's communication channel.

"Hey? Skadi, what's going on?"

"Doctor, it's me. I'm Bon... Melantha."

The voice was the same as the one in my memory, but the will it contained was completely different.

"Doctor, listen to me, I need to go find Theresis, right now."

"?" The doctor doubted he had misheard. He couldn't believe that such an outrageous request was coming from Melantha, a child.

However, just as the Doctor was organizing his thoughts and preparing to ask Melantha what she was thinking, he heard another sentence from her.

“I want Amiya to stay with me. I know she is a vessel.”

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately fell into complete silence.

The moment he heard it from Melantha, he realized a lot.

This was a fact that should have been known to no one except Kal'tsit and herself, and Melantha had no way of knowing about it.

The only possible explanation was that it was either herself or Kal'tsit who told her.

But he had no reason, and Kal'tsit had even less of a motive.

Therefore, there is only one possibility that Melantha knew about Amiya's secret.

Did I tell you that?

After a long silence, the doctor roughly sketched out a line of thought and then raised a question to Melantha.
