I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Okay, finally you mentioned the story of the Black Mist Tower. Your summary is really long." Rukatiye felt that the story he heard had nothing to do with the present.

"The Black Mist Tower is where the Iron King produces high-quality iron. After the Iron King's death, his queen was stationed in the Black Mist Tower and prohibited outside forces from entering. As for this princess, she is the Fallen Child of Darkness. It was because of the Iron King's own personality and huge soul that he attracted the Fallen Child of Darkness who had similar personality traits." Sun Yang explained.

"So what exactly is the Fallen Child of Darkness?" Rukatiye asked quickly.

"In ancient times, there lived a being named Manus, possessing a vast amount of humanity and a dark soul. Although legend has it that Wolf Knight Artorius successfully conquered the Abyss, he was actually defeated by a chosen undead. After his death, his soul dispersed, and after a long time, it reunited into four women, collectively known as the Fallen of Darkness."

"This Fallen of Darkness is called Nadra, also known as the Coal Bride. The Iron King died before she arrived here. The lonely Nadra transformed her soul into black mist to guard this tower."

"You're willing to do this for a man you've never met? How can a woman be so stupid?" Rukatiye cursed bluntly.

"I also said that these Fallen Sons of Darkness will be attracted to kings with powerful souls and similar personalities. That Iron King might be a guy who doesn't want to trust anyone and is very lonely inside. You can't treat these guys as human beings." Sun Yang didn't know how to explain it. After all, the world is so big and there are all kinds of strange things, and some of them are infatuated people.

"The most deadly power of the Coal Bride is that she can bewitch people who come here. Her soul power can attract those who come here and turn them into her own power. She captured the hearts of the warriors with her loneliness - so, Rukatiye, if you see strange statues, be careful and don't be bewitched. That is the manifestation of the power of the Coal Bride Nadra." Sun Yang finally warned.

"Don't worry, I don't think I'll be bewitched. And why do you think I could be bewitched by a woman? After all, if it was a man, I'd think he tried hard. Damn, I don't want to be touched all over by another woman."

As a woman with a male sexual orientation, Rukatiye still has very traditional ideas.

"I feel like that bewitching thing is of the soul... In any case, let's look after each other and move forward." Sun Yang finished his story. The noise outside gradually quieted down. He turned off his flashlight, moved the building materials away from the doorway, and headed towards the interior of the Black Mist Tower.

251 Rush Out!

The soul of Coal Nadra, who abandoned her body and wandered the Black Mist Tower. When Nadra, the Fallen Child of Darkness, arrived here, the king she had originally wanted to seek refuge with was already gone.

Disappointed, Nadra used the relics of the ancient king as support. She abandoned her body in the depths of the Black Mist Tower, while her soul surrounded the tower and turned into coal statues everywhere.

To destroy these statues, one needs a molten iron wedge, a slender iron wedge made locally. Infused with local magical power, it can destroy coal statues. However, if the weapon is powerful enough, a wedge is not necessary.

After destroying the statue, Sun Yang hadn't had the time to retrieve the soul. However, if left alone, it would probably merge into other statues, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't retrieve it now.

"So our current location is inside one of the auxiliary towers?" Rukatiye held the missile launcher and refused to let go.

"Yes, and it's not quite what I remember. I remember the two auxiliary towers had different responsibilities, but there shouldn't be so many enemies. Let go! Do you want to blow yourself up? Playing with bombs indoors and feeling like you're dying too slowly, huh?"

"Without this, I can't beat those big iron lumps! Courage, perseverance, and a big sword can't defeat iron lumps! You won't let me use this sword to chop off those big guys' legs, will you?"

"When your missile hits the Molten Iron Golem Warrior, you'll most likely be killed by the shockwave or fragments. Don't use that bulky thing, use this."

Sun Yang had to persuade Rukatiye to hand over the launcher, and then gave her the M416 320mm grenade launcher that HK40 had been using.

Although this type of grenade launcher is rarely used in today's 416, it does not mean that it is not easy to use.

"What is this? It feels quite light." Rukatiye grabbed the grenade launcher with her left hand and shook it. After all, she was an immortal, and her strength limit was quite high.

"This is a grenade launcher. You can simply think of it as being able to shoot all kinds of customized explosives. Normally, weapons like this shouldn't be used indoors, but the Black Mist Tower will probably be filled with Molten Iron Golem warriors, who can't be stopped without this kind of weapon. The indoor environment is narrow, so you should switch to a more flexible weapon." Sun Yang demonstrated the loading and shooting process to Rukatiye, as well as some precautions.

"If a knight like me carrying a big sword could just barge in, this place would have been captured long ago." Rukatiye took the grenade launcher, put the shield on her back, hung a belt around her waist, and put the grenade launcher in the bag on her side.

"It's just right that you can hold it with one hand. These armor-piercing grenades and high-explosive grenades are also given to you. The fire resistance of these puppets is a bit too high, and my plasma grenades are not particularly effective." Sun Yang handed Rukatiye a string of armor-piercing grenades.

"These otherworldly weapons of yours are quite useful... Your approach to development is different from Miller's and Dolan Gureg's. If any faction possessed such weapons, it would surely change the entire world."

"Forget it. There are only a few living people left in this world... I'm too lazy to change anything. It's enough to complete our respective missions." Sun Yang shook his head. This world was too unsolvable.

"Well, okay, you're right." Rukatiye hung up the grenade launcher and ammunition, and walked slowly forward in the auxiliary tower of the Black Mist Tower.

She picked up the greatsword and shield, and in the narrow corridors of the tower, she could usually deal with any enemies she encountered with her own swords.

The bricks and stones on either side of the corridor had been exposed to the heat and smoke for a long time, and the cracks and surfaces of the walls were no longer visible, but had been completely dyed the grayish white of burnt coal. The stairs leading down were filled with white dust, but the path up was still there.

On both sides were various rooms and intricate machines that they could not understand. These huge machines passed through each room and were connected in series throughout the tower.

While it's unknown what the purpose of the West Zhejiang Room was, its craftsmanship is definitely out of place in this world. It's hard to imagine the manpower required to build such a masterpiece.

After climbing several steps from the bottom, Rukatiye suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head with caution.

"Hush, I hear something." Rukatiye squatted down and listened attentively.

Sun Yang couldn't hear anything. Although he had gained much more soul power than Lukatiye, most of his points were invested in the miracle attribute. His physical performance was no stronger than that of Lukatiye, a battle-hardened warrior.

"The footsteps aren't heavy, so they're probably just ordinary soldiers. But I suspect that after this encounter, the master of the Black Mist Tower will spare no effort in hunting us down. Sun Yang, what do you think?"

"I'm Li Yuanfang..." Sun Yang subconsciously wanted to pick up the joke from "Detective Di Renjie".

"Li Yuanfang? Why did you change your name?" Rukatiye looked at Sun Yang behind him in confusion.

"Ahem, I feel like I can't dodge either. Go ahead and kill with all your might. I have plenty of ammunition. But I can't use my lightning gun too many times because my mana bar is limited."

"Blue stripes?" Rukatiye heard a new word.

"My mental power is limited." Sun Yang explained.

"Compare your own mental power to a blue bar. You are also a very strange person, Sun Yang." Rukatiye wandered around for a long time and found a staircase going up. After checking her equipment, she prepared to go up and kill a lot of people.

"I don't deny that. You'll fight in the front, and I'll provide support. If you can't hold on, switch with me. But my physical fitness isn't as good as yours, so be careful when we fight." Sun Yang finished speaking, and took out a shotgun loaded with 3D-printed bullets. The slugs and canister rounds inside were more than enough to deal with the enemies here.

"Got it. I'm coming!" Rukatiye's voice suddenly became vicious. She rushed up the stairs, and Sun Yang followed closely behind with a shotgun in his arms.

Several warriors, slender as coal and firewood sticks and wearing tattered armor, wandered in the corridor. Noticing Rukatiye running towards them, they instinctively deployed their formations and brandished their weapons.

But Rukatiye's speed far outstripped theirs. She easily dodged the coal warrior's tattered weapon's blows and slashed off his head with a single blow. His neck, while still sturdy, was no match for Rukatiye's cuneiform-reinforced Miller's greatsword.

Before his head could hit the ground, Rukatiye used his momentum to split the exposed abdomen of the soldier behind him. The blackened, withered abdomen was cut open, and only a small amount of gray powdery substance flowed out. This kind of injury was not worth mentioning to the coal warrior.

"Does it still require complete destruction?" Rukatiye deflected the enemy's sword with her shield. The force was considerable, but the overall weight was incredibly heavy. Rukatiye used the momentum to cleave the opponent's inferior helmet, instantly disintegrating into a cloud of dust, and bits of his soul flew into her body.

"Rukatiye, the Void Armor is coming!" Sun Yang shouted from behind. Holding a high-heat longsword and a solid longbow, the Void Armor emerged from the ashes behind them.

Sun Yang repeatedly pulled the trigger at the virtual armor, and several single-shot bullets shattered its not-so-strong helmet and armor, causing the virtual armor to shatter into pieces on the ground before it could fully get up.

"So these things... aren't enemies blocking the way, but spies?" Rukatiye watched as the Phantom Armors emerged one after another from the ashes not far away. Wherever there was a pile of ashes, these Phantom Armors would emerge.

"Follow me, Sun Yang!" Rukatiye chopped off all the coal soldiers who were blocking her way in two or three strokes. She took out a grenade launcher and pulled the trigger towards the distant corridor.

"Boom!" A crisp sound echoed through the corridor, followed by the sound waves and shockwaves of the explosion. The high-explosive grenade instantly shredded the phantom armor, even stirring up the ashes. Without the ash-forming environment, the Coal Bride temporarily lost the ability to summon phantom armor.

Rukatiye charged forward, reloading her grenade launcher. She charged upwards, cutting through the dark, winding stone corridors, her head held high, constantly advancing and slashing at the Void Armor and Coal Warriors that sprang out from various directions.

Although different from Froza's berserker style, Rukatiye is a very talented warrior who practices swordsmanship. After going through the test of war, his combat skills and swordsmanship are very trustworthy.

Even if he faces three or more enemies at the same time, Rukatiye will do his best to resolve the battle quickly.

Sun Yang, following behind Rukatiye, would launch two drones at intervals, focusing on dealing with the sudden attacks from the virtual armor that suddenly emerged from the ashes behind him. The large-caliber precision rifles on the drones could effectively whip the enemy's corpses.

Relying on the undead's incredible physical strength and recovery speed, Rukatiye and Sun Yang rushed into a tightly closed iron door near the top floor in one breath.

"Damn it! There's no way out!" Rukatiye kicked with all his strength, but he only broke his foot and the door was slightly deformed.

"You go block the corner and don't let those virtual armors rush up! I'll deal with this door!" Sun Yang threw the shotgun to Rukatiye and took out several directional explosives and installed them.

"Hurry up!" Rukatiye clumsily squeezed the trigger at the Void Armor charging down below. The bullet emptied as he slammed the reload button. If this gun hadn't been specially designed with humanoids in mind, with certain components specially reinforced, Rukatiye's exertion alone would surely have broken the gun's parts.

After Sun Yang placed a pile of explosives that was almost enough, he pressed the detonator button twice in a row without hesitation.

Boom boom boom!!! The obviously excessive amount of explosives blew away the heavy iron door and the specially reinforced wall next to it.

Two twisted iron doors spun into the room, but the quality and material of the Black Mist Tower's walls were indeed reliable. Even with such an explosion, they only shattered slightly, far from collapsing.

"Well done, Sun Yang! Let's run up!" Rukatiye returned the empty shotgun to Sun Yang and rushed in with his sword in hand.

The room was not large, but in the middle was a very mysterious statue, which depicted three lifelike snakes entwined around a huge chalice.

Sun Yang immediately recognized this as the entrance to the DLC. Presumably, starting from the Iron City, one could teleport directly back and forth via this statue. It wasn't surprising that the successor had this technology.

In addition, the image of the snake entwined with the Holy Grail is, at first glance, an image of a dark serpent eyeing the king's holy weapon. It is too obvious and classic.

It is estimated that the person who made this statue still remembered the story of the previous generation, so he directly turned the story into a sculpture to make it easier for later generations to remember.

This thing is not useful for the time being. I will explain it to Lulukatiye when I have time. Sun Yang did not dare to delay. Some of the virtual armors behind him had been specially buffed by the Coal Bride, and they could already draw their bows and shoot arrows under the firepower of the drones.

In this small environment, the drone didn't have much room to maneuver, and it took away the drone thrown by Sun Yang in two rounds. These virtual armors stepped over the wreckage of the drone, rushed into the room, and followed closely behind.

Sun Yang kept placing some junk building materials behind to block Xu Kai's advance.

Rukatiye was the first to reach the top of the tower. The view from there was extremely wide, and because it was outdoors, the wind from nearby reduced the amount of ash that had accumulated there.

This secondary tower was connected to the main tower with an extremely thick iron chain. Rukatiye squinted his eyes, took out a telescope and looked at the main tower in the distance.

"Oh! Damn it! The campfire is over there in the main tower! The chain is so long, if we run over there like this, we will be shot down by Xu Kai! Sun Yang! We need to find a rope, we--" Rukatiye was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"What do you mean by shoot or not?! Hurry over there, I'll stop them here! I'm a spirit! It doesn't matter if I'm beaten to death! If I don't survive! Then let's meet in Rumi's room!" Sun Yang urged loudly.

Rukatiye didn't hesitate much. She immediately ran away, running wildly on the wide iron chain.

Although the chain is thick and strong enough, it still swings slightly in the wind, which can be very fatal to people walking on it.

Below the huge chain is the ashes discharged by the Black Mist Tower. The chain is about four to five hundred meters away from the road.

Fortunately, Lucattiere had received specialized and comprehensive knight training, and balance training was the most practiced in their training.

As long as people are fighting, they must maintain balance as much as possible along the way and not let the enemy's martial arts and techniques break their balance.

Rukatiye adjusted his posture slightly following the sense of power conveyed by the iron chain under his feet.

The chain was so long that Rukatiye had never run such a long chain before. There was no need to run such a ridiculous route on any battlefield.

"Don't look down, don't look down..." Rukatiye muttered softly as she ran furiously on the chain. The whistling wind in her ears made her back break out in layers of sweat.

252 Rukatiye, please cheer up!

"We'll just block it here for now." Sun Yang took out building materials from the window and placed them at the exit. Although he had the illusion of playing Minecraft, he didn't actually possess such exaggerated physical properties.

However, the piling up of virtual armor below also became fierce, slashing and stabbing the building materials blocking their way with their red-hot iron swords. It really made these virtual armors with amazing strength push up a little.

The building materials Sun Yang placed could be simply understood as alloy plates used for base repairs or new construction. They came in all sizes and thicknesses, and he usually kept a large supply to use in critical moments to protect against damage. Of course, these materials were not light, with some large ones weighing several tons.

"Damn. Add a few more." Sun Yang piled two more building materials on top. Now the armor below was completely unable to support it. Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the chain. The chain was quite thick, about 1.5 meters wide. Beneath it, he could see the ash and volcanic lake like a canvas.

Well...it's not that I don't want to run, it's that I don't dare. Sun Yang decided to put modern technology to good use. He pulled out four powerful drones equipped with cloaking modules and tethered them to his power suit and waist. To prevent any unforeseen consequences, he also cast an invisibility spell on himself and then let the four drones carry him as he flew over.

More virtual armors appeared around the main tower and other secondary towers. However, because Rukatiye ran fast enough, he had almost completed the distance before the virtual armors gathered together.

The Phantom Armorers immediately turned their gazes towards Sun Yang, who was being carried by four drones. Although the noise made by the four drones was loud and would attract enemies, it was still very stressful to watch them.

To be honest, Sun Yang had no idea how these phantom armors could identify enemies. It felt like they could visually alert the enemy, but they didn't have the ability to see through walls.

Then Sun Yang watched those virtual armors draw their bows and shoot arrows. Those arrows flew straight towards Sun Yang several kilometers away with a precision that completely violated the laws of physics, fast and accurate.

Is it a soul? The armor captures souls? You can still find me even when I'm invisible? And your trajectory is a bit unscientific! What kind of arrow can shoot straight up a kilometer? Your arrow doesn't even fall?

The arrows formed from the black mist were truly remarkable. They seemed incredibly lightweight yet unaffected by wind, and their kinetic energy upon impact was consistent with their weight. They truly achieved the balance of lightness when needed and heaviness when needed.

All I can say is that you shouldn't take things in the magical world too seriously, as doing so will lead to a quick death. The non-conservation of mass is a hidden basic setting.

"Damn it, I'm glad I didn't pull out the stealth helicopter!" With the anti-aircraft fire from the other side, it was difficult for him to land with a stealth helicopter. He was shot to pieces as soon as he opened the door.

"Rukatiye, go light a campfire! Send me back! I've been discovered!" Sun Yang quickly communicated with Rukatiye who was running wildly in the distance.

[Hey? Where's that sound coming from? Have we been discovered?] Rukatiye had already reached the main tower. She glanced back. Dozens of arrows shot into the air. [Can the Void Armor see invisible people? I'll send them back immediately!]

In one swift movement, she lit a campfire atop the main tower and then pulled a black and white repatriation crystal from her pocket. Soon, Sun Yang's world was no longer connected to Rukatie's. His figure and the four drones attached to him also quickly vanished from Rukatie's world.

The armored figures shooting arrows also stopped, and a rustling sound came from below. Rukatiye took a breath and quickly sat down by the campfire. A yellow mist enveloped the surrounding world, and the distortion of space and time brought time back to a specific moment.

"Cough... cough... it's so painful." Rukatiye felt the power in the campfire healing his mind and body, as well as the huge soul he gained after destroying those puppets.

Rukatiye observed the top of the main tower, which must have experienced considerable attack and destruction. The walls surrounding the chain were pitted and even the structure of the crucial elevator, which required meticulous maintenance, was exposed.

The rusty chains creaked as the wind blew, and the structures, once surrounded by thick walls, were now being eroded by the wind.

Even the floor tiles on this floor were half shattered, and most of the stairs below were destroyed, with only a small part of the stairs still barely supporting.

Rukatiye looked deeper into the layer. In the innermost part, surrounded by broken gears and shattered walls, there was a throne made of steel exposed to the wind.

The throne lay buried in thick ash, and the surrounding iron pillars, carved from the same metal, and their decorations were now covered in rust.

There must have been a king here. A king shouldn't, and wouldn't, abandon his throne. But according to Sun Yang's description, the Iron King was devoured by a Chaos Demon?

Chaos Demons... They seem like something that appeared almost a thousand years ago. Is it really possible to summon something that ancient? I've killed many so-called demons along the way, but they don't seem like something born from chaos.

But sooner or later, I will encounter them. Before that, I will make myself stronger, strong enough to survive in this world and defeat a large number of enemies.

At least Sun Yang was right about one thing. Following him did indeed yield a staggering amount of souls. Risks and rewards went hand in hand, after all. At least the weapons he gave him were pretty powerful...

Luck is unstoppable. This strange priest, Sun Yang, is the sign of my fortune. Where can I find someone willing to lead me through the Black Mist Tower?
