Accompanied by Sertie’s loud cursing, Zaguras shows an expression of utter shock. He finally can no longer stay calm and jumps up from his throne. But that head floating in mid-air quickly lets out an “ouch” and falls straight to the ground.
The head on the ground struggles to turn to one side and glares at Ye Chui, shouting, “Why didn’t you catch my head?”
Ye Chui: “…”
He hurriedly squats down to pick up the headless knight’s head and looks at the headless knight’s perfect, flawless beautiful face. But the headless knight continues to rage, “Turn my head towards that stinky boy. I want to glare at him angrily!”
“…”
So Ye Chui turns Sertie’s head to let her look at Zaguras.
Without doubt, Zaguras fears Sertie. His tall body is faintly trembling.
Sertie continues to shout loudly, “You stinky boy, get out of my house quickly. This is my territory. Back then, I was buried for four thousand years and got bored. Seeing your sincere attitude, I agreed to teach you some necromantic magic. I didn’t expect you, this ungrateful wretch, to seal me away right after. Damn it, even the Demon Emperor back then didn’t trick me like this!”
Ye Chui and the others quietly listen to Sertie’s endless scolding. For a moment, they look at each other in bewilderment.
But soon, Ye Chui and the others notice something strange.
Zaguras also notices those strange things.
“Sertie, you… have no power now!” On Zaguras’s tense and fearful face, a colour of wild joy suddenly appears. He asks in his mouth.
Yes, after Sertie is summoned by Ye Chui using the magic guide book, she is just a head. In fact, apart from glaring and cursing, she seems completely unable to show any other power. She can’t even float up after falling to the ground and must be held in Ye Chui’s hands…
This is her world. If she is the master here, how can she be so useless here?
Zaguras realises this problem. Ye Chui and the others also realise this problem.
Sertie’s voice seems to pause for a moment, but then she angrily shouts again, “Hey, the boy holding my head, help me throw my head over there. I want to bite him hard a few times.”
“…”
Ye Chui is stunned for a moment, then makes a motion as if to throw the head.
“Wait a minute, you’re actually preparing to throw it over! Don’t you understand it’s just to scare him? You idiot!” Sertie hurriedly shouts.
Ye Chui: “…”
He doesn’t think biting him a few times can scare anyone…
In short, although Ye Chui has impressively awakened Sertie’s consciousness, Sertie seems completely useless.
“Hahahaha, even if you are Sertie, the ferryman of the gods’ undead, in this undead realm you still have to abide by the rules here. Now I am the master of this world. Even if you wake up, you cannot do anything to me, hahaha…”
Zaguras lets out a็ๅฆ laugh, as if the thing he has always worried about suddenly turns out to be nothing. His hand suddenly waves forcefully. Those undead surrounding them from all sides, almost countless, all move. Like an army pressing in, they charge towards Ye Chui and the others.
Zaguras’s figure also dissipates into formlessness. Only echoes of็ๅฆ laughter remain, resounding from all directions.
The endless undead gradually close in.
Green hurriedly puts away the table and chairs and takes out his brick.
Debbie quickly summons Gilgar.
Xilaisi takes out her dark magic guide book.
Ye Chui and Posili had consumed a lot earlier, but they have just replenished some food, allowing their magic power to recover a bit. They vigilantly watch the undead around them.
Ye Chui tries to play the Necromantic Prelude, but this BGM that can control undead has no effect on the undead here. The undead army still continues to close in.
“Ah, the music you’re playing is interesting. It seems to carry a bit of the power of faith’s call, with unique effects on undead and spirits. But these things are useless against the undead here.” Sertie says curiously from her mouth. Her head is held in Ye Chui’s hands, and her head keeps shaking, as if she is trying hard to turn to look at Ye Chui. After Ye Chui turns her head towards himself, Sertie continues, “The rules of this world are different from the outside. The undead cannot be controlled by other powers.”
“Then what do we do now?” Although Ye Chui has already sensed a strong aura of unreliability from this Sertie, he still patiently asks. After all, this head counts as a divine object to some extent.
“Now you listen to me. Hold me up and put me in your arms. Wrap me up with your clothes.” Sertie says.
“…”
Ye Chui is stunned for a moment. The undead army is already closing in. Posili’s ice magic and Xilaisi’s black fire magic have already launched attacks against them. Ye Chui knows he cannot hesitate any longer. He hurriedly stuffs Sertie into his beast skin robe, thinking that Sertie must be about to cast some powerful magic. But why hide in his clothes? He asks from his mouth, “What next?”
Sertie shouts loudly, “Next, you can all run away!”
Ye Chui: “…nmp!”
…
From high above, the endless undead army looks like ants foraging, rapidly gathering. Black flames and blue ice qi flash constantly. A golden sword shadow keeps shuttling through them. Every undead here is very powerful. The most terrifying thing is that when they are burned to ashes by black fire, turned into ice blocks by blue ice qi and shattered to slag, or riddled with holes by golden sword qi attacks, they can instantly restore to their original state.
The undead do not die. Under this world’s rules, they can revive infinitely.
Any outsiders in this world cannot possibly survive.
A clear dragon roar sounds. Ye Chui summons Dragon Baby. He holds Sertie’s useless head, pulls Debbie and Xilaisi, and quickly jumps onto the giant dragon’s head. Green and Posili also climb onto the giant dragon’s back.
Dragon Baby swings his huge tail, sweeping through thousands of troops and clearing the charging undead. His body rises from the ground and flies into the air. He looks around in surprise and says in astonishment, “What is this place? Undead army… could it be the undead realm!?”
Ye Chui has not yet answered when Sertie’s surprised voice shouts from his arms, “Dragon Baby? Is that you, Dragon Baby!?”
“Sertie!?” Dragon Baby is greatly shocked and lets out a rumbling sound. As the god of myriad beasts from the age of the gods, he naturally knows Sertie, who is also from the gods’ clan. In fact, Ye Chui has asked Dragon Baby about this when he had the chance. Although his memories became somewhat incomplete after turning into a dragon soul, he still remembers that Sertie is his friend.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here. How have you been these years?” When Ye Chui sits steadily on Dragon Baby’s back and takes Sertie’s head out from his arms, Sertie asks in a surprised voice.
“I was turned into an egg by the Goddess of Wealth. Only recently did I finally rebirth in dragon soul state. Now my power has recovered only about one percent… What about you, Sertie?” Dragon Baby asks. His huge eyes flicker, trying hard to see the people on his back.
“Don’t even mention me. My body was blown up. My head was buried for four thousand years. It was finally dug out with difficulty, but that boy had ulterior motives and sealed me to sleep for another thousand years. I was just inexplicably awakened. Really miserable…”
“Sigh…”
Listening to this head and dragon’s conversation, even with sighs, Ye Chui cannot help but break out in cold sweat. We are escaping for our lives here. Can you have a bit of awareness for escaping?
At this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly comes from the distant night sky.
That sound is all too familiar to Ye Chui. It is a dragon roar.
He turns his head to look, and his face suddenly turns pale.
In the distant sky, terrifying giant dragon figures are chasing towards Dragon Baby.
Those are giant dragon undead!
Among the undead in this world, humans are the majority, but there are also other races. Many are even races that have completely gone extinct in the outside world.
“Awoo awooโ” Dragon Baby hears those dragon roars. His huge head turns to look, and the vertical pupils in his eyes suddenly dilate a bit. “Those dragons are all dragons I know. I didn’t expect to meet their undead spirits here!”
“Dragons you know? Then you must have a good relationship with them?” Ye Chui is delighted and hurriedly asks. Maybe for the sake of knowing these dragons, they can help them out?
“They are all the ones who rampaged across the continent and were killed by me.” Dragon Baby’s voice becomes a bit lower.
Sertie immediately follows up, “Then I turned them into undead dragons.”
Ye Chui: “…”
Sertie seems to know what Ye Chui is thinking and immediately says, “It’s useless. The undead here, although they have their own will, under the world’s rules, even your closest family or friends will become your enemiesโthey will only obey one consciousness’s command.”
“Why is that? Aren’t you supposed to be the master here?” Ye Chui asks, puzzled.
“Although this world is inside my body, it was created by the god of gods. Its rules even I cannot change.” Sertie explains. “There are two unchangeable rules in this world. The first rule is that the undead do not perish. The second rule is that the victor is supreme.”
“I understand the undead do not perish. What does the victor is supreme mean?” Debbie leans her head over and asks.
“Let me give an example. In this world, if undead number one defeats undead number two, then undead number two must submit to undead number one. If undead number two then kills undead number three, undead number three will submit to undead number two and number one. The undead must follow this hierarchical rule, like a huge pyramid. And the master who controls the undead realm is the one standing at the top of this pyramid. His will can make all undead submit!” Sertie explains seriously.
“So that’s how it is.” Ye Chui nods in understanding. “That means to become the master of the undead realm, one needs to constantly fight and stand at the peak.”
“In theory, yes.” Sertie answers. “Originally, I controlled the undead realm because I was the one standing at the pyramid’s peak. But later, that stinky boy Zaguras schemed against me, putting me into deep sleep and sealing me. In doing so, he effectively defeated me and took my place.”
This is why Sertie seems so useless…
Green suddenly asks curiously, “Does defeating mean killing an undead once? Just now, the guild leader also killed the Spirit God King once. Why didn’t he take his place?”
“The premise of the strong being supreme must be among the undead.” Sertie explains. “Otherwise, even if you kill him ten thousand times, it won’t work.”
“Zaguras used schemes to defeat you and take your place, but his own power in the undead realm should not be at the top. Why haven’t other undead challenged him?” Posili asks curiously.
“After becoming the master of the undead realm, there is an additional rule. This rule was originally created to help me control the undead realm easily. That is, the undead cannot challenge the master. So Zaguras has been able to stay in the master’s position. As humans, killing Zaguras has no effect on you. But if you become undead, under the rules, you cannot act against Zaguras.” Sertie continues to explain.
Debbie says in surprise, “Then don’t we have no way to deal with him at all? Living people killing him is useless. Undead cannot act against him.”
“No, there is one exception, and that is me. After all, I am from the gods’ clan. My current state is that of an undead, and I can act against him without restrictions!” Sertie hurriedly says.
“Then can you beat him?” Debbie hurriedly follows up.
Sertie says somewhat hesitantly, “What do you think the chances are of me biting him to death directly if Zaguras doesn’t fight back?”
“…” This head can only curse now and has no other abilities. Ye Chui directly lifts Sertie’s head up, pretending to throw it away. “What use do I have for this head of yours!”
But Sertie hurriedly shouts, “Hey, wait. There is another way. I can teach you necromantic magic…”
