Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2419  Returning After Leaving

Under the shining holy light, the undead aura in the hall was rapidly purified.

"D*mn it! The Holy Court people have followed us in!"

"Block them!"

"Quick, destroy the stone pillars and release the death knight. We might still have a chance!"

The players were thrown into chaos. Seeing the situation, Fang Heng placed his hands on Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang's shoulders, saying, "Forget about them, we need to leave now! Let's go!"

Whoosh!

Fang Heng's pupils flashed as the magic array spun rapidly, transporting the three of them back into the death knight space.

Two minutes later, Purifier instructor Karolina and a group of Purifiers from the Holy Realm entered the Great Hall.

The holy light illuminated the basement's Great Hall. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a short time, all the players in the hall had been thoroughly cleared out by the Purifiers and the knights from the Holy Realm.

In the corner, Norbert, along with two loyal subordinates, immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee. He saluted, "Greetings, Sir Karolina."

"Get up and speak."

Karolina glanced around, her brow furrowing slightly as she asked, "Where is Fang Heng?"

"Fang Heng, he..."

Norbert, sweating and with a bitter expression, turned to indicate the damaged sealing stone pillar behind him, saying, "He just entered the death knight space."

Karolina and the others turned to look at the central sealing stone pillar, their eyes revealing a trace of surprise.

Indeed.

They had planned to lure Fang Heng here temporarily.

They intended to use the undead aura leaking from the death knight space as bait, hoping Fang Heng would stay and absorb the energy.

With his greedy nature, they were certain he would fall for it!

However, they hadn't anticipated that Fang Heng's greed would be even greater than they expected. Not only did he absorb the energy from the periphery, but he also broke through the outer wall of the sealing stone pillar to enter the death knight space and absorb the aura of death.

Karolina stared at the pillar for a moment before shaking her head.

"Very well. The adjudicator will arrive soon. We should stay here and wait for the adjudicator's decision."

...

Death knight space.

Fang Heng led Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang back into the death knight space.

"What do we do now?" Li Shaoqiang asked, a hint of panic in his voice.

The exit was completely sealed off, leaving them with no way to escape.

Were they really prepared to sacrifice a life here?

That was the best-case scenario. If they were careless, their souls might be sealed by the Holy Court, which would be a disaster.

Fang Heng didn't answer. He simply looked up at the darkened heights in the distance.

At the throne, the death knight reappeared, its eyes glowing faintly with a blue light once more.

"You're here again."

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo were both startled by the deep voice and turned their attention to the giant on the throne.

"Who is he?" Tan Shuo asked, his face slightly pale.

Fang Heng responded calmly, "The death knight."

The two men's expressions changed slightly.

"This time, what brings you here?"

"Ahem, death knight, sorry to disturb you," Li Shaoqiang coughed lightly and then tentatively asked, "The way outside is currently blocked by the Holy Realm. Could you possibly help us by... eliminating them?"

"Is that so? The Holy Realm... I see they're still as troublesome as ever." The death knight nodded slightly and turned back to the group. "May I assume that you need the strength to defeat the Holy Court? So you've come here seeking power, correct?"

Li Shaoqiang nodded, "Yes, strength. If you can grant us that, we'd be grateful."

"Whoosh... Ka-ka-ka..."

A phantom of a large gate began to slowly condense and form behind Fang Heng and the others.

"You're quite fortunate. I am currently short-handed, so I'm willing to give you a chance. Someone is disturbing Empress Persephone's rest. I need you to drive them away. If you accomplish this, you will receive the strength you seek."

"Remember, this is a test."

"Empress Persephone never hesitates to grant power to her servants, but first, you must demonstrate the appropriate capability."

The group turned their attention to the large gate.

A game hint quickly flashed across their retinas.

[Hint: The player has triggered a team mission-Death Knight's Selection.]

Mission name: Death Knight's Selection.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: The player must enter the passage through the teleportation gate and repel the invaders who have entered Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

Mission requirements: Repel at least 12 invaders from the mausoleum (team count) before all invaders enter the mausoleum.

Mission reward: Preliminary recognition from the death knight.

[Warning: This mission contains extreme danger.]

The death knight's gaze inadvertently fell on Fang Heng. "Do you remember what I told you? Only the Eternal Will is the true path to transcend reincarnation and achieve indestructibility. Now, it is time to test your will. I hope you can pass this trial."

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang exchanged glances, feeling a sense of unease.

A special mission?

A special mission from the death knight?

They turned back to look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was also somewhat confused.

Empress Persephone's mausoleum?

Invaders?

It all seemed odd.

The death knight was clearly an intelligent entity capable of communication and even issuing missions.

Breaking through the holy seal was certainly within the capabilities of Teacher Gu Luo.

Yet, the undead faction had always kept the death knight space sealed off from outsiders.

"Ka... Ka-ka-ka-ka..."

As the gate slowly opened, Fang Heng and the others' pupils contracted sharply.

A flood of elite undead aura energy poured out from the gate!

"Go, don't waste time. Now's the moment!"

The death knight slowly raised his right hand, which clenched into a fist with a whoosh.

"Whoosh!!!"

Immediately, the three felt a powerful force slam into their backs, sending their bodies uncontrollably flying toward the gate, drawn into its space.

"Interesting newcomers..."

The death knight murmured to himself, observing Fang Heng and the others, who remained standing in place below him.

At this moment, the eyes of the three had become vacant, their bodies left as mere shells.

Death realm.

In a blackened wasteland, a towering black pyramid loomed over the land.

At this moment, almost all the high-ranking members of the undead faction had gathered here.

Among them were several instructors, including Gu Luo, who had previously guarded the Tower of Bones.

They watched from a distance, observing the massive structure intermittently visible through the sandstorm.

Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

Legend had it that Empress Persephone, who once ruled over the entire death realm, was buried here.

The mausoleum was perpetually shrouded by the sandstorms of the death realm.

Coincidentally, in recent years, there had been frequent occurrences of the storm's weakening.

The most recent reduction happened just two days ago.

The storm had significantly diminished.
