Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Although these death magic powers are weak, over time, the gradually accumulating death magic powers are still enough to transform the environment around the building into a negative energy active area that is only suitable for the survival of the dead, but full of rejection for living beings.

　For ordinary people, once they step into this area shrouded in negative energy, they will clearly feel the rapid loss of vitality within three days. Their bodies will gradually collapse under the erosion of negative energy, eventually leading to a serious illness.

　If you continue to stubbornly choose to be funny

　If one stays, then being completely consumed by negative energy and losing one's life here is an inevitable outcome.

　Of course, for a being like Moros, whose life level has been elevated to the legendary rank, this level of negative energy is no different from a gentle breeze in spring.

　Even though his life level has dropped to the level of an ordinary superhuman, thanks to the powerful professional skill unique to necromancers—[Necromancy]—Moros can still live freely in areas with active negative energy.

　After all, compared to the corrosive effects of necromancy on the body, this level of negative energy activity area is far from significant.

　Getting back to the main point, after ordering the Ghost Dragon to descend, Moros arrived at the front of this [Graveyard Military Outpost].

　Since this [Graveyard Military Outpost] had already been occupied by necromancers, Moros's recruitment of undead troops went very smoothly.

　As Moros's thoughts raced, 4800 gold coins vanished in an instant.

　At the same time, amidst the clatter of hooves, four Death Knights, clad in full heavy armor and riding skeletal warhorses, appeared out of thin air before Moros.

　Without any further ado, the four death knights dismounted, knelt on one knee, and pledged their loyalty to the necromancer who had recruited them.

　As a level 6 undead unit, the Death Knight not only possesses outstanding combat power but also a certain degree of intelligence.

　After receiving authorization from the necromancer, they can even command low- to mid-level undead soldiers and independently complete simple military tasks such as massacring villages.

　"Hehehe, welcome to the team!"

　With a sinister laugh, Moros opened the Death Knight's attribute list.

　Death Knight

　[Troop Level: 6]

　Attack: 23 (43)

　[Defense: 23 (85)]

　【Life: 450】

　【Speed: 7】

　[Unit Skills: Undead, Cursing Attack, Deadly Strike]

　Although Moros had recruited Death Knights many times, he couldn't help but feel happy every time he saw their impressive stats.

　Especially with the boost from his hero attributes, these death knights' combat power was greatly enhanced.

　What exactly does this level of numerical value represent?

　Simply put, under the Death Knight's slashing, the armor of the main battle tanks on the Mu Continent will be torn apart like cardboard.

　Moros believed that when these death knights wielded their enchanted knight swords and charged into the enemy ranks with overwhelming force, their iron hooves would be unstoppable and unstoppable.

　As for the three-digit life attribute, it mainly benefits from the Death Knight's size.

　In the world of Ashan, units are divided into four sizes: small, medium, large, and giant, each of which grants a different health bonus.

　Smaller units retain their original health, with neither bonuses nor debuffs.

　Medium-sized units receive a 300% health bonus.

　Large units, such as the Death Knight, can receive a health bonus of up to 500%.

　Giant units, on the other hand, can have a 1000% health bonus.

　It is precisely because Death Knights are a standard large unit that they receive a powerful 500% bonus to their base health.

　With this level of health, the Death Knight can even withstand direct hits from an 8-inch naval cannon.

　Leading his four newly recruited death knights, Moros began to sweep through the wilderness lairs of demiplanes one by one.

　As he consumed large amounts of gold coins and resources, the number of troops under his command also grew rapidly.

　Despite the fact that this legion was extremely weak due to its mixed racial composition, Moros did not care.

　In the demiplane, he has no enemies.

　Since they will not be attacked and are simply used as a transport team for troops, their low combat effectiveness becomes insignificant.

　Anyway, once he returns to the cemetery territory, those non-undead units will be converted into corresponding cemetery units by him through [Netherworld Shrine ()].

　By then, they will no longer be troubled by morale.

　As he gazed at the non-Necropolis faction units, a smile that was hard to decipher appeared on Moros's face.

　Just as Moros had predicted, the massive mixed-use army returned to the cemetery city without any obstacles.

　Standing before the Shrine of the Underworld, gazing at the non-undead units, Moros's lips curled into a cold, sharp smile.

　[Conversion]!

　At his command, a crack suddenly appeared in the dome of the [Shrine of the Underworld], as if a portal to another world had been opened.

　A dark and mysterious light shot into the sky, like a shooting star in the night, piercing the sky shrouded by the [Death Curtain] and falling directly on the non-undead units.

　Until this moment, those things that Moros had taken from the wild

　The non-undead units recruited from the unit nests only then realized, as if waking from a dream, that something was wrong.

　Their eyes were filled with terror and despair, but unfortunately, it was too late.

　Under the irresistible and terrifying power of the [Shrine of the Underworld], they could no longer escape the fate of being transformed into undead soldiers.

　These non-undead units began to lose their vitality, becoming cold and stiff, and their eyes became increasingly empty and deep.

　Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and Moros stood quietly, patiently waiting for the transformation to be completed.

　His eyes revealed an indescribable anticipation and confidence; he believed that one day he would be able to truly grasp such power in his own hands.

　In just a few minutes, the final transformation was completed.

　"Roar!"

　A deafening roar erupted as the bone dragons, transformed from the Green Dragon, straightened their bodies, displaying their power.

　The massive, multi-racial mixed force was completely transformed into the Necropolis faction's army of the dead, serving the will of the necromancers.

　With satisfaction, Moros smiled victoriously as he gazed upon this newly formed army of the dead.

Chapter 73 The Collapse Arrives

　Time moves forward.

　Just as Moros was traversing between various troop nests in the demiplane, recruiting one troop after another, a small-scale Honkai disaster struck, centered around the Honkai Energy Research Institute in New City.

　This was a very standard small-scale collapse disaster.

　A surge of Honkai energy erupted instantly, engulfing several blocks around the research institute.

　Since most humans lack resistance to Honkai energy, they were instantly reduced to ashes by this energy, without even having the chance to become suicide soldiers.

　However, within this vast group, there are always some individuals who possess Honkai energy resistance.

　The scale of this Honkai disaster was relatively small, so the number of people who were able to withstand the first wave of Honkai energy tidal impact was still considerable.

　Unfortunately, surviving the sudden surge of Honkai energy was just the beginning.

　Before the survivors could even figure out what was going on, they were about to face the true horror of the Honkai Disaster—the undead and the Honkai Beasts.

　Those individuals who transform into "zombies" due to a lack of Honkai energy resistance are terrifying, but as long as survivors muster their courage, they still have a fairly high chance of surviving when facing a small number of zombies.

　For the survivors, the real deadly threat comes from the monsters known as the "Death Squad".

　Unlike incompletely transformed zombies, the assassins are humans transformed from those infected by Honkai energy, and their combat power has surpassed the limits of individual combat.

　Even the lowest-ranking "Guardian Assassin" in the assassin system, even with a gun, is difficult for ordinary people to escape from their hunt without exceptional luck.

　These guards, dressed in black and gold-trimmed uniforms that revealed their two white thighs, could rush to the survivors at an astonishing speed, their giant scythes easily reaping one life after another.

　Those "Ranger Death Squads" dressed in bright red clothes formed by Honkai energy used bows and arrows materialized from Honkai energy to hunt down any survivors they could find.

　As for the higher-level assassins such as the Dual-Blade Assassin, the Spirit Assassin, and the Undead Assassin, any survivor who appears before them has almost no chance of survival.

　The combat power of high-ranking assassins is comparable to that of low-ranking Honkai Beasts, and some elite-level high-ranking assassins are even stronger.

　Even the weakest of the Assault-class Honkai Beasts possesses combat power comparable to that of an armed helicopter.

　Faced with such a terrifying existence, even if ordinary people are armed, it is only a drop in the ocean and serves only as a psychological comfort.

　Coupled with the rampage of Honkai Beasts formed entirely of Honkai energy, the tragic plight of the survivors in this area shrouded in Honkai calamity is easily imaginable.

　However, in this area shrouded in Honkai disaster, there are forces capable of fighting against the zombies and Honkai beasts.

　The security forces of the Honkai Energy Research Institute in New City, along with the several Childe-level vampires who are conducting research there, are all formidable combat forces.

　The Honkai energy weapons equipped by the defense forces are effective against both the undead and Honkai beasts; while the vampires, when wielding specially made Honkai energy weapons, are even more powerful than the former.

　However, out of consideration for protecting the researchers and research results within the institute, the security forces and vampires of the New Science City Honkai Energy Research Institute will not extend a helping hand to the survivors in this area.

　After all, in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy, the lives of ordinary people are so insignificant compared to the researchers and research results in the research institute.

　Nevertheless, the existence of the New City Honkai Energy Research Institute still holds some positive significance for the survivors in this area.

　As long as this Honkai Energy Research Institute exists, the zombies and Honkai Beasts born in this area will launch an attack on it.

　thereby

　This indirectly reduced the stress on the survivors.

　"Da~da~da~"

　The heavy machine gun, modified with Honkai energy, spewed scorching bullets, tearing hordes of zombies and the undead mixed in with them to shreds.

　But all the warriors guarding the Honkai Energy Research Institute in New City knew full well that such machine gun fire could not last.

　Sure enough, just as the machine gun emplacement was firing at full power, a dark purple beam of Honkai energy suddenly shot out from in front of an undead warrior, instantly turning the entire machine gun emplacement into a sea of ​​inferno.

　"RPG!"

　Amidst the roars of the frontline officers, several rocket-propelled grenades enhanced with Honkai energy whistled as they flew toward the undead warrior dressed in black with twin ponytails.

　However, just like in countless previous encounters, the undead necromancers easily evaded the barrage of rocket-propelled grenades with a single Burrow.

　However, the guards at the research institute had anticipated this, as this was not the first time they had encountered the undead warriors' [burrowing] skill.

　"Pah~pah~pah~"

　After a barrage of fire from anti-material sniper rifles modified with Honkai energy, the undead warriors finally fell.

　The sacrifice of the undead assassin was not in vain. In order to annihilate this high-ranking assassin, the research institute's guards wasted too much firepower on her.

　While the defenders were focused on fighting the undead assassins, the ranger assassins seized the opportunity to launch a fierce barrage of arrows, instantly overwhelming the defenders' carefully constructed defensive line.

　These arrows, made entirely of Honkai energy, were incredibly powerful, easily piercing the guards' bulletproof vests and pinning them firmly to the ground.

　With just one volley of arrows, the defenders of the New City Honkai Energy Research Institute suffered heavy casualties.

　What made them even more desperate was that, under the cover of the ranger assassins' arrow rain, more than a dozen [Claw Assassins], led by a [Prison Claw Assassin], swiftly broke through the defenses and penetrated deep into the position.

　Without heavy weapons and fusion warriors, human forces have little chance of winning close combat against the suicide soldiers.

　Even though all the defenders' weapons had been modified with Honkai energy, it couldn't change that.

　As expected, the institute's outer defenses did not last long before they were breached.

　"Let those lab rats go!"

　The commander, who was observing the battle situation in real time through the monitoring system, had no time to consider the research value of those vampires.

　He desperately needs these vampires to turn the tide of the battle, at least to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

　After handling all the affairs in the demiplane, Moros opened the demiplane passage to Fuyuan City.

　He hadn't forgotten that he had promised Alicia he would attend Eden's concert.

　"Ok?"

　Feeling that the number of vampires he had transformed into had suddenly decreased by a few, Moros couldn't help but let out a soft hum filled with doubt.

　What's going on? Have they started dissecting vampires?
