Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　This dragon of death is, after all, a genuine demigod, and its attacks should not be underestimated, even for Kevin.

　A flicker of surprise crossed Kevin's eyes as Morros disappeared, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

　He knew that Moros wouldn't give up so easily; he must have a backup plan.

　Sure enough, the death avatars that turned and pounced on him, along with the overwhelming magical storm, told him that this battle had only just begun.

　The sky was covered by biting ice and raging flames, and the thunderclouds that blotted out the light and the deafening roars could be clearly felt even by Sirin and Benares, who were far away in Klosten.

　Indeed, just as Moros accepted Kevin's "invitation" and flew towards the Alps in his Death Avatar, the Queen of Collapse, along with her most loyal retinue, mercilessly wiped out the assault force trapped in the magical black mist.

　Whether it's Cheng Lixue, Amber, or Shigure Kira and Nicholas, they are all just ants with little ability to resist in front of the Second Herrscher, who possesses six Herrscher cores, and her companion Honkai Beast, Benares.

　After eliminating these ants who dared to resist the Honkai, Sirin, accompanied by Benares in human form, gracefully descended upon the skies above Klossen.

　What followed was a massacre that was predictable.

　Originally, the allied forces of Destiny and Anti-Entropy were already struggling to hold on against the overwhelming offensive of the Honkai Beast Legion and the Undead Legion.

　Now, with the addition of Sirin and Benares, the tide of battle has completely turned in favor of the Honkai.

　However, the victory in destroying the last main force of Destiny and Anti-Entropy did not bring Sirin joy.

　Even though the destruction of Klossen greatly increased her Honkai energy reserves again, it could not change the heaviness in her heart.

　The reason for this is surprisingly simple.

　Moros, are you alright?

　Gazing at the dazzling light on the horizon of the Alps in the distance, with the continuous explosions echoing in her ears, Sirin's heart was filled with turmoil.

　She longed to take Bella with her to fight alongside Moros and together face the challenge of the World Serpent Lord.

　However, the Queen of Collapse (sensitive word) understood that it was just adding unnecessary trouble for the powerful necromancer.

　The aftershocks of the battle alone were comparable to her all-out attack.

　Such a battlefield is clearly beyond their reach.

　While Celine may be prone to arrogance, her wisdom and intelligence are undeniable.

　Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to master such advanced spatial manipulation techniques as the [Infinite Space Corridor] in such a short time within the original world.

　"Bella, let's go, to the Indian subcontinent!"

　After a long silence, Celine suddenly spoke.

　She knew she couldn't directly participate in the fierce battle between Moros and Kevin, but that didn't mean she was helpless and could only watch as the people she cared about fought a life-or-death struggle with the Lord of the World Serpent.

　Even the corrupted queen has to do something for the necromancer.

　After much deliberation, Sirin decided to travel to the South Asian subcontinent that Moros had mentioned.

　She plans to search for and destroy the World Serpent base there, weakening its power and relieving pressure on Moros.

Chapter 351 The Tilted Battle Situation

　Under the blessing of the magical ritual, the legendary spell [Doomsday Judgment] unleashed power as immense as the zeroth rated power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment, heating the air of the Alps to a boiling point.

　But just as the flames were about to engulf the earth, biting ice descended like a storm, instantly freezing the flames beneath the glacier.

　Despite losing the aid of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Kevin still managed to demonstrate the astonishing power to shut down the Herrscher of the End for twelve hours.

　In his hands, Parvati's power of ice and snow manifested a power no less terrifying than that of the Herrscher of Ice.

　However, even so, Kevin felt no joy.

　He was held up.

　The Death Avatar, a magical energy creation summoned by legendary magic, may be relatively weak in terms of pure power compared to other extraordinary beings of the same level.

　But a demigod is a demigod.

　Its level of 35 and its enormous size, which is more than 200 meters away, demonstrate the terrifying damage resistance of this dragon of death.

　As for its attacks, they are incredibly fierce, and even a powerful figure like Kevin cannot easily ignore their power.

　If it were just a single Death Avatar, Kevin might be able to handle it with ease, and even defeat it without taking any damage.

　However, when necromancers intervened in the battle, the situation changed completely.

　The magical storm unleashed by Moros put immense pressure on even the [Savior] of the World.

　What made things even more difficult for Kevin was that the necromancer, who was proficient in teleportation magic, didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

　Whenever Kevin tries to close the distance between himself and Moros in order to launch an effective attack, the necromancer will quickly cast a teleportation spell, instantly disappearing from the spot and widening the distance between them again.

　At the same time, the incarnation of death will become extremely frenzied, launching a fierce attack on Kevin without regard for anything else.

　Kevin also tried to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the menacing dragon-shaped monster shrouded in black mist.

　He unleashed a burst of power, and after a fierce exchange, successfully brought down a deadly dragon.

　However, just when Kevin thought the tide of battle was about to turn, Moros once again cast the legendary spell called [Avatar of Death], summoning an Avatar of Death that was exactly the same as before.

　Faced with this situation, Kevin finally realized that simply eliminating the avatar of death could not fundamentally solve the problem.

　He realized that if he didn't deal with Moros himself first, this powerful dragon-like monster would be like an endless tide, and killing more of it would be pointless.

　But as I said before, the necromancer didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

　When it comes to long-range combat, Namoros is completely helpless without the Judgment of Heavenly Fire and the Inscription of Salvation.

　When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

　With the help of teleportation spells, the necromancer perfectly integrated the essence of these sixteen-character tactics into the battle.

　Anyway, he still has a lot of the [Gift of the Magic Well] potion he brought into this world, so Moros has plenty of time and patience to slowly wear Kevin down.

　Fusion Warriors are not Herrschers.

　Although the heroes were able to defeat the Herrschers, they ultimately could not match the Herrschers who possessed the Herrscher core in terms of sustained combat ability.

　The Heralds draw imaginary energy continuously from the imaginary space, causing the Heroes to gradually show signs of fatigue during prolonged battles.

　Even Kevin is no exception to this.

　Indeed, the heroes have a considerable reserve of Honkai energy, enough to sustain several days of high-intensity combat, but this is still an effective countermeasure that Moros can take.

　With a lack of single-target damage spells, he could only resort to this tactic, spending a lot of time and patience to wear down Kevin's power until he found an opportunity to win.

　How could the battle-hardened [Savior's Name] not see through Moros's thoughts?

　However, there is a seemingly insurmountable gap between understanding the truth and dealing with difficulties.

　Even after activating [Artificial Collapse] and transforming into a demonic state, Kevin was still unable to close the gap with the necromancer.

　This feeling of powerlessness struck him like a heavy hammer, deeply impacting his heart and leaving him with a sense of defeat.

　This feeling is like the despair I experienced 50,000 years ago when facing the Herrscher of the End on the moon.

　However, unlike before, this time he found that he had very little chance of even touching his enemy with his greatsword.

　We can't keep fighting like this.

　Kevin murmured to himself, his gaze subtly sweeping over the cuffs of his trench coat.

　There, a faint bloodstain was quietly imprinted on the fabric.

　This tiny bloodstain was a masterpiece left on his body after the battle spell broke through his ice shield.

　Even though his wounds had already healed rapidly under the influence of his Honkai energy, this was undoubtedly a warning sign of danger.

　At this moment, the wound may seem insignificant, but Kevin knows that this is just the prelude to a long battle.

　As time goes by, these wounds will multiply and deepen like stars in the night sky, gradually eroding his strength.

　At that time, the balance of power in the battle will inevitably tilt in Moros's favor.

　And he will be dragged into an even deeper, more desperate darkness.

　One hour, two hours, three hours...

　Eleven hours have passed since the fierce battle between Morros and Kevin began.

　Over this long period of time, Kevin has come to realize a harsh reality—he cannot defeat this cunning and powerful necromancer on his own.

　He tried countless tactics, but each attempt ended in failure, leaving him only with deep disappointment.

　He once tried to gather all his strength to strike decisively with overwhelming force; he also feigned defeat in an attempt to lure Moros into lowering his guard so that he could find an opportunity to counterattack.

　Nevertheless, Moros's caution and masterful control of teleportation spells rendered all of Kevin's schemes futile.

　This gave the [Salvation] Inscription a deeper understanding of the power of [True Self] Alicia.

　After personally experiencing the extraordinary role of spatial power in battle, Kevin couldn't help but marvel at and admire Alicia's victory over the powerful Second Herrscher.

　The wisdom contained within was far beyond his comprehension.

　"Click——"

　Just as Kevin was racking his brains trying to figure out how to turn the tide, the greatsword he was holding suddenly emitted a sharp, piercing sound.

　Even though this greatsword was a relic left over from a previous civilization, it ultimately could not withstand the endless pressure brought by this fierce battle and reached its limit.

　With the shattering of the relic greatsword, Kevin's situation becomes increasingly dire.

　He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

　He knew that he had lost this round.

　Now, it's time to retreat.

Chapter 352 Evacuation and Pursuit

　What seems impossible will not be accomplished through persistence, nor will a miracle occur simply by saying "I can do it."

　Over the long years, Kevin had come to understand this cruel yet profound truth.

　Therefore, when he realized that he was powerless to completely eradicate the threat of the necromancer, the [Savior] did not stubbornly persist, but decisively chose to retreat.

　However, this fusion warrior, who had experienced countless brutal battlefields, knew that in the current situation, retreat was also fraught with challenges and dangers.

　[With this inhuman body]!

　Kevin manipulated Parvati's ice and snow power, transforming Honkai energy into countless sharp ice spikes, which shot towards Moros's location.

　Forced by the ice spikes, Moros had no choice but to use [Dimensional Journey] again, breaking free from his current dimension.

　Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Kevin unleashed the massive amount of Honkai energy stored within his body, condensing it into a colossal, awe-inspiring ice meteor.

　This icy meteorite is as large as a small city and exudes a chilling aura.

　Facing the oncoming embodiment of death, Kevin did not hesitate for a moment and slammed the huge ice meteor into his opponent.

　Then, he turned around resolutely, like a bolt of lightning.

　It sped across the horizon, heading towards the Mediterranean Sea.

　Behind him, all that remained was the deafening roar of the ice meteorite colliding with the incarnation of death, and Moros's astonished and incredulous gaze.

　The necromancer truly did not expect that Kevin, who had been performing exceptionally well in the previous battles, would so decisively choose to retreat.

　However, Moros was, after all, a demigod-level necromancer who had undergone four leaps in life level.

　He quickly calmed his inner turmoil, cast a teleportation spell, and began his pursuit, following closely behind Kevin's receding figure.

　Moros paid little attention to the Death Avatar that was struck down by the Ice Meteor; his only target was Kevin.

　After all, in this chase, the Death Dragon, whose straight-line flight speed was 30% slower than Kevin's, had lost its value.

　Come and go as you please? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since you're here, you might as well stay!

　With a cold laugh, Moros clearly realized that now was the perfect opportunity to deal with this World Serpent Lord.

　The previous fierce battle had already depleted Kevin's Honkai energy.

　For a powerful figure like Yingjie, such losses might still be within a manageable range, but compared to his prime, Kevin's strength has been greatly diminished at this moment.

　This was undoubtedly the best opportunity Moros had been waiting for, and he was determined not to let it slip away.

　The World Serpent, which originated from the pre-civilization "Fire-Chasing Moth," has long been deeply rooted in the human civilization of this world.

　To completely destroy this organization and earn the highest rating in the Hero Template promotion mission, the necromancer has only two paths to choose from.

　Alternatively, he could completely destroy human civilization on this planet, thereby eliminating the World Serpent, which is closely connected to it.

　Either we must annihilate the hero who is the core of the World Serpent faith—the [Salvation] Inscription, Kevin Kaslana.
