Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　At the same time, the ghosts possess extremely high flight speeds, almost comparable to civilian helicopters.

　Therefore, following closely behind the speeding ambulance was a piece of cake for the ghosts.

　However, the other undead summoned by Moros did not have this ability.

　Apart from the four vampires who can fly in the air in bat form and follow the ambulance, the liches and zombies can only stay at the dock, waiting for Morros's next instructions.

　Guided by police cars, the ambulance was able to travel at maximum speed.

　In just over twenty minutes, Moros was quickly taken into the operating room.

　Stay alert and protect me!

　Before losing consciousness, the anesthetic took effect, and Morros gave the ghosts and vampires his final instructions.

　Two hours later.

　Moros, who had the bullet removed from his shoulder, was still asleep under the influence of the anesthetic.

　Although beings at the Exemplar level have surpassed ordinary humans, excessive amounts of anesthetics can still affect them without the use of magic to resist.

　Regarding the dosage of anesthetic drugs.

　As a paragon-level superhuman who has already advanced twice in his life level, the amount of anesthetic used on a normal person would not be enough to make Moros lose consciousness.

　While Moros slept soundly, a necromancer guard consisting of six ghosts and four vampires was intently protecting him.

　The ghosts, using their invisibility, stealthily infiltrated the ward, while the vampires, in bat form, hovered outside the window.

　It was because of the existence of this undead guard that Moros dared to undergo anesthesia.

　After being assassinated by an assassin sent by Mayor Yang, Morlos felt extremely insecure.

　He dared not entrust his safety entirely to the two constables outside the ward.

　As it turned out, Moros's caution was absolutely necessary.

　After receiving a phone call, the two constables exchanged a glance and then tacitly left their posts.

　Clearly, under Mayor Yang's management, some deals have been reached.

　If it were just Mayor Yang, then the police system in this area could naturally not give him any face.

　But facing Mayor Yang's powerful backer, a member of parliament who stands at the top of the political landscape of Mu Continent, the heads of the police system in this area dared not put on airs.

　Under the direction of the powerful congressman from Mu, the local police system showed Mayor Yang considerable respect.

　Therefore, Mayor Yang's fully armed private army was able to launch a successful raid without being stopped by any force.

　At the same time, they also successfully obtained the exact location of the hospital where Morlos underwent surgery.

　Shortly after the constables were transferred, the hospital's fire alarm sounded abruptly.

　At the same time, thick smoke billowed from the building where the ward was located.

　As a matter of course, the hospital initiated evacuation procedures.

　Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the still-sleeping Moros was overlooked during the evacuation.

　As the last nurse pushed the hospital bed out of the hospital ward building, a leader of the hospital made a phone call.

　Immediately, the signal lights of several specially modified Toyota Hiaces in the hospital parking lot began to flash, indicating the start of the operation.

　"Our turn! Let's move out!"

　The car doors were opened, and three well-trained squads of private soldiers filed out, then quickly approached the location of the hospital building.

　Seeing this, the four bats hanging upside down outside the window of Moros's ward let out a piercing cry.

　Immediately afterwards, they released their claws, flapped their wings, and swooped down toward the private soldiers who were preparing to storm the hospital building.

　As they swooped down, the vampires swiftly transformed, revealing their sword-wielding noble appearance in their combat mode.

　Not only the four vampires, but also the six ghosts that were originally wandering in the ward reacted quickly after being alerted by the cries of the bat-shaped vampires.

　They split into two teams: one team was responsible for executing the private soldiers who tried to harm Moros, while the other team was dedicated to protecting the necromancer's safety.

　"Damn it, what is this thing?!"

　The private soldiers behind the squad witnessed this completely illogical scene and couldn't help but cry out in shock over the radio.

　Even with rigorous training, facing such an illogical scenario...

　The private soldiers were still filled with shock and confusion.

　However, this moment of shock became his fatal weakness.

　The tactical helmets on the private soldiers' heads appeared so vulnerable under the piercing of the steel longsword.

　The sharp blade, like the kiss of death, easily pierced his skull and took his life.

　Not only him, but the other three members who fell behind the squad also suffered merciless attacks.

　They didn't even have time to react before they collapsed forever on the cold hospital floor.

　The sacrifice of the four private soldiers was not in vain.

　Their deaths bought precious reaction time for the other private soldiers.

　"Fight back! Fight back!"

　At the shouts of the three squad leaders, the private soldiers quickly adjusted their guns and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

　In an instant, a hail of bullets rained down on the four vampires.

　Then, something happened that shocked the private soldiers.

　The four vampires wielded steel longswords, deflecting bullets one by one.

　Although many bullets did hit the vampire's body, from the perspective of the private soldiers, they could hardly perceive that such attacks caused any substantial damage to the vampire.

　"hand……"

　Before the private army captain could finish speaking, the ghosts that rushed down from the ceiling launched their attack.

　They brandished their sharp claws, piercing the chests of the three captains with precision and decisiveness.

　While the damage dealt by ghosts is indeed relatively low among tier-three units in the Ashan world, their claw attacks are deadly to ordinary private soldiers.

　Before the advent of Fusion Warriors, the previous civilizations relied primarily on the power of technology to fight.

　Although there are strong individuals among them, their numbers are extremely rare.

　At least among the private soldiers recruited by Mayor Yang, there were no such strongmen.

　Without a commander and with the undead closing in, the fate of the three private squads is self-evident.

　They couldn't even hold out for five minutes before the three private squads sent by Mayor Yang to eliminate the survivors were completely wiped out.

　After eliminating the private soldiers who were trying to harm Moros, the vampires and ghosts quickly returned to their previous positions to continue carrying out the necromancer's instructions.

　Keep him safe.

Chapter 19 Moros's Exposure

　Today is an extraordinary day for the firefighters who came to put out the fire.

　The city’s fire system responded swiftly the moment the hospital fire alarm was received.

　Several fire trucks rushed to the scene. After the firefighters got out of the trucks, they carried fire extinguishing equipment and were preparing to rush into the ward building to put out the so-called "fire".

　However, when they saw what was happening before them, they were stunned.

　The lobby of the ward building was littered with corpses and dismembered limbs, and the entire space was filled with a suffocating stench of blood.

　Is this a fire?

　Every firefighter was filled with doubt and shock; the scene before them was far too bloody and horrific, exceeding their wildest imaginations.

　These are the remains of three fully-equipped private army squads.

　Even experienced firefighters had never seen such a scene.

　The guns and grenades scattered among the mutilated corpses further proved that this was not an ordinary fire.

　Before Moros lost consciousness, the only command he left for the undead was to protect him.

　In that case, as a type of soldier, vampires and ghosts would naturally not bother cleaning up the battlefield.

　Then, this is what the firefighters saw.

　"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

　The lead firefighter snapped out of his shock and rushed toward the scattered grenades without hesitation.

　His experience taught him how dangerous it was to leave such explosives in a fire.

　He needed to get it away from the fire as soon as possible to avoid greater danger.

　Inspired by the example set by the leader, the other firefighters also decided to temporarily set aside the tragic scene and focus on fulfilling their duties.

　They acted swiftly, concentrating their efforts to extinguish the fire.

　Since the fire was not large, the firefighters quickly brought it under control and extinguished it completely.

　Although a certain leader at the hospital accepted bribes from Mayor Yang to cooperate with the private army's actions, he did not want to become deeply associated with Mayor Yang as a result.

　Therefore, he only deliberately lit a small fire to reasonably evacuate people.

　He didn't want to face serious consequences if the hospital building really burned down.

　Therefore, after the firefighters extinguished the fire, the hospital leaders immediately began to organize personnel to clean up the scene.

　He knew very well that the truth behind the "fire" could not be revealed, otherwise he would face serious consequences.

　He then ordered his men to destroy all the evidence and dispose of the body as soon as possible.

　While the hospital administration's subordinates were busy destroying evidence and disposing of the bodies, Morlos awoke from a deep sleep induced by the anesthetic.

　After learning about the previous battle from the vampires' reports, Moros knew that his peaceful life was gone forever.

　Since that's the case, then let me make a huge scene...

　With a demiplane as a fallback option, Moros wasn't too afraid of the civilization of this era.

　The technology of the previous civilization was impressive, and the technological level of the Mu Continent was unparalleled among the previous civilizations.

　But so what?

　Before the Herrscher of the Void was born, the previous civilization's research on space remained only at the theoretical level.

　In this era before even the Fire Moths were formally established, even if the whole world united, it would be impossible to cross the barriers between worlds and travel to the demiplane without Moros's permission.

　With this escape route, Moros naturally dared to do some outrageous things.

　"let's go!"

　After gazing intently at the bustling crowd outside the ward window, Moros's eyes revealed a resolute look.

　He activated the demiplane portal, a swirling, eerie blue portal.

　Then, Moros led the undead into the passage without looking back.

　Anyway, with the liches and zombies remaining at the dock serving as anchor points for the demiplane passage, Moros has no need to worry about being blocked when he returns to Mu Continent next time.

　Upon returning to the familiar cemetery city, Moros did not linger for a moment.

　He led a small team composed entirely of vampires and headed straight for a wilderness structure called the Eldritch Well.

　Moros's idea was clear: no matter how the situation developed, his first priority was to restore his nearly depleted magic.

　【Vitality Well】: Drinking water here will restore your mana to its maximum value, but a hero can only drink here once a day.

　As the master of the demiplane, Moros naturally knew the exact location of the [Vibrant Magic Well].

　With only the vampire by his side, Moros arrived at the location of the Vitality Well in just over ten hours.

　【The Vitality Well】is located in the heart of a deep and mysterious forest, surrounded by ancient towering trees whose branches and leaves bow down to the magical well water like pilgrims, as if in awe of the powerful magic contained within.

　The water in the well was not the clear, transparent water of ordinary wells, but a deep blue.

　The water was calm and still, yet it gave the impression of being unfathomably deep, as if it connected to another unknown world.

　Having studied in the Magic Guild, Moros knew that this was not an illusion.

　The reason why the water of the Vitality Well has the magical power to restore the magic power of heroes is that the water comes directly from the magic-rich deep sea layer of the water elemental plane.

　The environment there is extremely harsh for humans, making it almost impossible to survive.
