In the floating void.
As a rift in time and space appeared, a system notification echoed in Zhang Yue’s ear—
“Ding~ The Gate of the Undead has opened. Please, Professional [Zero], enter the Gate of the Undead and slay the Undead Sovereign, Heard (Note: You may choose up to two teammates to enter the Gate of the Undead with you)!”
From the crowd, Luo Chen stepped forward: “I’ll go in with you.”
Zhang Yue immediately rejected him: “You can’t.”
Then, Zhang Yue’s gaze shifted to Su Jinyan and Tian Xin’er. “I need your help.”
The two women exchanged glances. Although being chosen by Zhang Yue made them happy, they were also puzzled: “Why us?”
After all, the Sword Emperor Luo Chen, the Undead Hunter Tian Yu, and the Phantom Assassin Infinity Phantom were all stronger than Tian Xin’er and Su Jinyan.
Zhang Yue explained: “I need your control and support.”
Historical records state that both the Undead Sovereign and the Abyss Sovereign are 6-star quality bosses, but within the Void Forbidden Zone, their domains are greatly enhanced, making their strength comparable to 7-star bosses!
Zhang Yue was confident he could solo the Undead Sovereign.
The prerequisite was the Forbidden Mage’s immobilizing control and the Flash Blind effect from the Flowing Light Assassin!
Luo Chen, though rejected, didn’t take it to heart. Instead, he said to Zhang Yue: “I’ll guard you from outside.”
When someone steps into the Gate of the Undead, the powerful undead energy that spills out will revive the slain undead warriors.
Therefore, someone must guard outside, or else if these undead warriors enter the Gate of the Undead, the challenge Zhang Yue faces will become even more difficult!
So, after Zhang Yue, Tian Xin’er, and Su Jinyan entered the Gate of the Undead.
Around them, the corpses of the undead warriors lying on the ground began to stand up again!
Wu Haotian, Lin Tian, and Infinity Phantom all grabbed their weapons, ready to defend the gate.
On the other side.
Zhang Yue, who had entered the Gate of the Undead, appeared at the entrance of a grand palace.
Looking ahead, an undead creature engulfed in blue ghost fire, with only its eyes emitting a red glow, sat quietly on the throne.
The blood-red ID above its head confirmed its identity—
Undead Sovereign, Heard (Physical Type, 6-star BOSS)!
“Humans, you have finally come. I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
The Undead Sovereign stood up, a spectral warblade materializing in its hand, advancing towards Zhang Yue!
With each step, flames erupted from the ground!
For Zhang Yue, who had already slain the Grim Reaper, Tila, and the Nether King, Cage, both 6-star bosses, the Undead Sovereign should pose no threat.
But…
[Map Announcement]: “Ding~ Void Forbidden Zone domain enhancement activated: Undead Sovereign, Heard, has been strengthened: All attributes +30%, damage +50%, damage reduction +50%, speed +30%, all skills upgraded to A-rank!”
The domain enhancement granted the two Sovereigns combat power not inferior to 7-star bosses!
Thus, having been defeated by the Undead Sovereign once a hundred years ago, Zhang Yue dared not be careless.
He immediately used the S-rank Scouting skill to check the BOSS’s stats:
[Undead Sovereign, Heard] (lv45 Physical Type, 6-star BOSS)
[Physical Attack: 4600]
[Physical Defense: 2800]
[Magic Defense: 2700]
[Health Points:]
[Skills: Undead Storm (A-rank), Undead Charge (A-rank), Undead Fire (A-rank), Undead Body (A-rank)…]
[Description: As one of the three great Sovereigns, the Undead Sovereign, Heard, possesses the powerful ability to dominate the undead. Whether you fear death or not, you will become a soul under the Undead Sovereign’s blade…]
Judging by the stats, even a level 45 veteran professional fully equipped with 5-star gold gear would struggle to break through the Undead Sovereign’s defenses!
With the domain’s enhancement, it’s no wonder no one has been able to defeat the two Sovereigns and complete this hidden quest for over a century!
At this moment, Su Jinyan initiated the attack.
Boom!
A fireball spell accurately predicted and hit the Undead Sovereign.
-1 point of mandatory damage, as expected.
The Forbidden Mage’s profession effect triggered, immobilizing the Undead Sovereign and successfully interrupting its [Undead Charge]!
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yue quickly cast his spells.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of S-rank skills landed on the immobilized Undead Sovereign, causing damage in the range of four to five thousand points!
Fortunately, it was barely enough to hurt the Undead Sovereign.
At least it was better than in the previous life. Zhang Yue remembered that when he reached this point in his previous life, the damage he dealt to the Sovereign seemed to be only a few hundred points!
A combo took down 2% of the Undead Sovereign’s health.
At this moment, the Undead Sovereign’s [Undead Storm] skill was once again interrupted by Su Jinyan’s immobilization.
Following closely, Tian Xin’er used a Shadow Strike skill to trigger the Flash Blind effect of the Flowing Light Assassin, causing the Undead Sovereign’s [Undead Fire] to miss!
Taking advantage of Su Jinyan and Tian Xin’er’s continuous control over the Undead Sovereign, Zhang Yue summoned the Apocalyptic Black Dragon and the Skeleton King, unleashing maximum output, rapidly depleting the Undead Sovereign’s health bar!
The Undead Sovereign, forced back several steps, looked up at Zhang Yue and his companions.
In a deep voice, it said: “It seems I must go all out!”
Activating the Undead Shield, it became immune to Su Jinyan and Tian Xin’er’s control.
Immediately, the Undead Sovereign charged directly at Zhang Yue.
With a ghost fire warblade in hand, it slashed at lightning speed. Zhang Yue used Teleportation to create distance, but the Undead Sovereign followed like a flash, launching a flurry of slashes!
Swish swish swish swish!
Under the close-range suppression of the Undead Sovereign, Zhang Yue could only use extreme micro-operations to engage in close-quarters maneuvering.
With maneuvers that ordinary people couldn’t achieve, he continuously parried the increasingly fierce attacks of the Undead Sovereign!
During this time, Zhang Yue had no opportunity to counterattack, and Su Jinyan’s predictive attacks couldn’t hit the highly aware Undead Sovereign!
“So strong!” Su Jinyan realized that the opponent’s strength couldn’t be simply overwhelmed by damage.
Unless the damage was high enough to one-shot the Undead Sovereign.
Otherwise, without Zhang Yue’s Tier 0 level micro-operations, it would be impossible to withstand the Undead Sovereign’s attacks for more than three seconds!
Until Zhang Yue hit the Undead Sovereign with an Ice and Snow skill, freezing it.
Only then did Su Jinyan seize the opportunity to continue immobilizing the Undead Sovereign.
Tian Xin’er followed up with close-range attacks to trigger the Flash Blind effect on the Undead Sovereign. With the cooperation of the two girls, they bought Zhang Yue a chance to output damage.
The innate immunity of the BOSS greatly weakened the control effects on the Undead Sovereign.
Su Jinyan’s continuous control failed.
The freed Undead Sovereign, like a wild horse off its reins, charged swiftly at Zhang Yue!
The Skeleton King, who stepped forward to protect its master, was quickly slashed into a pile of bones by the Undead Sovereign.
Zhang Yue and the Undead Sovereign were locked in a fierce battle…
Meanwhile, outside the Gate of the Undead.
Luo Chen, Lin Tian, and Wu Haotian were desperately slaying the resurrected undead warriors around them.
If they stepped into the Gate of the Undead, Zhang Yue would be further disrupted, making it even harder to deal with the Undead Sovereign.
So Lin Tian and the others’ task was to prevent these undead warriors from entering the Gate of the Undead!
And these undead warriors seemed to have endless lives.
Killed repeatedly, they could revive again and again.
Under their relentless attacks, the people present began to show signs of exhaustion, and several Tian Family warriors and knights had already been slain by the undead warriors!
Despite this, to help Zhang Yue complete the mission, none of them retreated, all fighting to the death to guard the Gate of the Undead.
While everyone was desperately resisting the undead warriors and guarding the Gate of the Undead.
No one noticed: not far away, a professional wielding a large blade was approaching the Gate of the Undead with murderous intent…
