Chapter 669 – Rout!
When the Dragon saw the Bones Dragons, his eyes couldn't help but shrink before his expression turned into anger. He knew that these Bone Dragons were his clansmen. They were killed and then turned into these undead creatures. For a majestic Dragon to become like this and were used to deal with their own Race, the arrogant Golden Dragon naturally wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
When Zhao Hai saw the Dragon's expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can't accept your people being turned to these Bone Dragons? Alright, I'll change their appearances. I think you will like it." Then he waved his hand as a black gas slowly engulfed the Bone Dragons. When the gas dissipated, the Bones Dragons looked totally different.
This time, the Dragon's eyes shrunk again, and his anger flared up once more. This was because the Bone Dragons had become real Dragons. One couldn't see any wounds in their bodies, their scales were also shining. They also had bodies that exuded pure strength. The Dragon knew that his people had become zombies, they still had their original bodily functions, but they were still undead.
This was also the reason why the Dragon's anger had flared up. The mighty Dragons had been turned into toys by a Human, this was completely unforgivable!
The Dragon faced the sky and roared out loud before he said, "This is unforgivable! How dare you treat the Dragons like this! Face your death!" Then he flapped both of his winds and charged. The other Dragons behind him roared as well before following the Golden Dragon's lead.
Zhao Hai actually laughed when he saw this and said, "You Dragons had always bathed on your unwarranted reputation. Get ready to become reduced to a mere mention in history!" The he waved his hand as 40 Zombie Dragons charged, clashing with the ten Dragons from earlier.
The 40 colossal Dragons that were fighting in the skies attracted the attention of all the lesser Dragons. They didn't think that they would face someone that dared to challenge the formidable Dragons. In the entire Accra Mountain, there wasn't anybody that would face a Dragon. In the continent, there wasn't anyone who would dare claim that the status of the Dragons was fake. The lesser dragons had always thought that the Dragons were unparalleled beneath the Heavens. When the Dragons begin to act, there would be no on who would be able to stop them. And yet, there was this lunatic, a lunatic that actually managed to slaughter Dragons!
There was nothing wrong with this description, in the eyes of the lesser dragons, Zhao Hai was truly a lunatic that wanted to kill the Dragons. But the strength this madman had startled the lesser dragons, the Dragons themselves were quite shocked as well.
How much power can these Zombie Dragons really dish out? How can they be on par with real Dragons? However, when they clashed, the living Dragons had discovered that these Zombie Dragons weren't weaker than them, they were stronger!
What was the feeling of being besieged by forty people that were stronger then themselves? At this moment, the living Dragons knew that the only thing they could do was to defend against the assault of the Forty Zombie Dragons. They were zero chances for them to counter-attack.
Zhao Hai didn't idle, he looked down at the lesser dragons and coldly said, "You don't need to just stand there, you join my undead army!" Then he gave a signal as Megan and Lizzy commanded the undead army to send divisions to assault the lesser dragon army.
The lesser dragons went into a commotion. They were afraid and had felt pressure when the undead came. But since they still had the Dragons on their backs to assume command, they believed that they can resist any attackers. This was the impression that the Dragons had given them after all these years. In their opinion, Dragons were invincible!
But from what they saw, the ten Dragons had no way to retaliate against the forty assaulting Dragons. It was only a matter of time before they lost their lives. So at this time, the pressure that Zhao Hai's army brought to them have been amplified. They even had a faint sense of panic starting to well up from inside of them.
If this was in the past few days, the Dragons would've come and slapped the enemy two times, and stabilize the army. Unfortunately, those Dragons were being mauled by zombies right now, they weren't in the capacity to calm the lesser Dragons.
Zhao Hai also made arrangements on this matter. In total, Zhao Hai had collected 42 Dragons between the battle in the capital as well as in the attack against the two border fortresses. At this point, 40 of those Dragons were fighting then ten Dragons of the other side. One of the Dragons was carrying his mansion, leaving him with one that was free to use. Zhao Hai sent that remaining Dragon to attack the lesser dragon army!
One has to recognize how ruthless Zhao Hai's move was. These lesser dragons were completely afraid of the Dragons, seeing this one Dragon heading their way didn't help their panic!
When the Dragon charged towards them, many lesser dragons began to scream, threw their weapons away and then turned around towards the mountain. They had completely lost the will and courage to fight.
Zhao Hai who currently sat on his house on the back of the Dragon, actually smiled. His high-profile manner earlier was a preparation for this. He wanted to make the enemy think that he was a madman. Even if one had the resilience of bamboo, they would still be terrified of a lunatic. This was because lunatics were completely unreasonable.
Slaughter was not something that Zhao Hai loved, he just wanted to achieve his own goals. And sometimes, in order to achieve these goals, slaughter was an unavoidable method. However, there were also moments where slaughter was not necessary.
When an army is afraid of an enemy, deserters would eventually crop up. And when a deserter comes out, more deserters would follow suit. These deserters would form a chain reaction and would finally end in the defeat of the entire army. This was the case for the lesser dragon army right now.
Their sole mental pillar were the Dragons, who gave them the courage to face against any enemy. However, if these Dragons were to disappear, then their mental strength would sharply drop.
The rout of the lesser dragons also affected the Dragons. This was a mental matter, it had nothing to do with strength. These Dragons also wanted to escape, but this kind of mentality further plunges them to the jaws of defeat!
A Dragon was killed, then turned into a Zombie Dragon, who charged towards its own ally. Then another Dragon was killed, which also joined the Zombie Dragons. This cycle continued until the courage of the remaining Dragons reached rock bottom. They had completely lost hope in living.
However, weren't really left with no choice of retaliation. They still have their secret technique. This technique was called Heavenly Tempest. This was a type of sacrificial technique. The Dragons can use their flesh and blood as fuel, along with their souls in order to create a huge explosion. The might of this explosion was extremely strong, when a Dragon decided to self-destruct, it was possible for it to kill ten other Dragons. This technique was passed over to them by the Divine Race.
The remaining Dragons were now inclined to use this technique, but unfortunately for them, they were against Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was a very practical person, he didn't like to waste time. If he was against an enemy, he would kill them in one stroke, if there was no need to use tricks. What was the need to play cat and mouse? This game might look like one was playing around with a defeated enemy. But for Zhao Hai, this was just akin to teaching the mouse to the point where the cat doesn't pose a threat anymore.
When one goes against the enemy with the mindset of playing with them, then it was possible that the one who would die was you. An act of desperation wasn't a joke. A cornered rabbit can still bite you. As long as a bamboo was not killed, it can still pose threat to you, not to mention an enemy like the Dragon Race.
After the inferior dragons retreated, Zhao Hai didn't pursue them but instead directed his whole undead army to clean the remaining Dragons. Just as the Dragons were prepared to take their own lives, they were suddenly drowned out by an army of undead before they themselves joined this army.
Zhao Hai and the others had conquered the camp on the foot of Accra Mountain quite easily. The next thing that they needed to do was to head up the mountain and attack the Dragon's den, Dragon Peak!
The main reason why Zhao Hai and the others planned to have all of the lesser dragons rout was because there was a nearby Human settlement. The Accra Mountain was a haven for adventurers. Every single day, an innumerable amount adventurers went here in order to seek fortune. Their main purpose was to hunt and kill magic beasts, at the same time, they were also hoping to come across a dead adventurer's belongings.
An adventurer was high-risk profession, especially for those that were in Accra Mountain. Although they were only on the outskirts of the mountain, there was still a possibility of meeting a high-level magic beast and get killed. Because of their life always being in a precarious state, these adventurers always brought their properties with them. And with the high rate of fatality in the mountain, there were tales of lucky adventurers coming across the properties of a dead person and becoming rich overnight. Although this situation was rare, it still managed to shake the adventurers of the continent. All of them started in participating in this scavenger hunt.
It was like lottery, everyone thinks that they were the lucky ones when the buy it, but the real prize can only be obtained by very few.
Because of the amount of adventurers going to Accra Mountain, they managed to build a huge community for them in a corner of the mountain.
This town was the closest supply point in Accra Mountain. There were a lot of people who came here every year to try their luck, making the town very prosperous.
However, the adventurers didn't have a great time in the recent days. The Dragons controlled the Lyon Empire in a quick manner and had built a military camp at the foot of the mountain. The camp was not too far from the town, and most importantly, the lesser dragons had prohibited them from hunting magic beasts in the mountain. The adventurers in the town had no choice but to eat their reserve rations every day. At the same time, they were also hoping that the Dragons would revoke this order.
This was because the people that were in the town weren't only those who were seeking wealth, there were also some criminals among them. This was due to the town being close to Accra Mountain, not even the Lyon Empire's army dared to come here. Therefore, this place was also a haven for wanted people wherein they can enjoy their freedom. And even if the army came, they can just run towards the mountain and wait it out. They didn't dare to leave the town and go to another lest they risk themselves being arrested.
Chapter 670 – Being Ruthless
It is for this reason that there were a lot of people in this town. All of these people had seen a true Dragon get slaughtered, this was where the true legend began.
The reason why Zhao Hai intimidated the lesser dragons intro retreating was exactly this small town.
No matter who lived in this town, Zhao Hai didn't intend to have innocents die in his war. Therefore, he used methods to collapse the minds of the lesser dragons so that they wouldn't fight and cause a ruckus at the foot of the mountain. After all, a lot of Humans could get caught in the chaos.
Because the small town was quite near the lesser dragon camp, all of the adventurers were fortunate enough to witness Zhao Hai's war against the Dragon race.
To be honest, this cannot be called a war, it was more inclined to be a one-sided slaughter. However, this slaughter was something that made the eyes of the adventurers light up. One must know that what Zhao Hai just killed were Dragons. These were beings that were deemed to be invincible by the continent. On this day, a Human actually managed to eliminate these invincible beings. Along with their bright eyes, their hearts were burning as well.
After Zhao Hai eliminated the ten Dragons, he didn't stay, instead, he commanded his undead army and dashed through Accra Mountain. His cube formation didn't change, the same cube was now climbing up accra mountain.
Upon seeing this, the adventurers in the town started to get daring. When Zhao Hai led his undead army to chase the lesser dragons, these adventurers also went out of the town and followed behind the undead army as they climbed up Accra Mountain.
They didn't have the thought of picking up some cheap things. In their minds, if they weren't able to see such a magnificent scene, then it would be quite a shame. As long as they can witness what happened in the mountain, then they can brag about it in the capital. And bragging was the most favorite activity of these adventurers.
Zhao Hai didn't care about these adventurers, although he had discovered that they had followed behind him, he didn't have the time to take care of them. If these guys wanted to follow, then they can do what they want. If these guys wanted to die, then Zhao Hai wouldn’t stop them.
At this time, Zhao Hai didn't want to divert his attention. What he faces against were the Dragons. He might have been able to defeat a lot of them in the previous battles, but the Dragons were still existences that survived for tens of thousands of years. And they had nested in Accra Mountain in the same amount of time. Zhao Hai had no idea about their full strength. This was the reason why Zhao Hai didn't become complacent when faced with these Dragons, it was not yet time to celebrate.
When Zhao Hai's undead army entered the Accra Mountain, he can immediately feel the difference between here and the camp at the bottom of the mountain. Back in the military camp, there were only lesser dragons and not so much magic beasts. But when they were routed to Accra Mountain, there were magic beasts everywhere. Now, these magic beasts had become frantic, it didn't matter which rank they were, all of them were throwing themselves towards Zhao Hai's direction. In this case, Zhao Hai reckoned that the cube formation was not quite suitable in scaling the mountain. Therefore, Zhao Hai gave a command, collapsing the cube formation and turned it into fine sand as it poured over the mountain.
The crazy battle started, Zhao Hai has also come down from the back of the Bone Dragon and entered into Alien. The Bone Dragons were still flying in the sky since there were also flying beasts that needed to be taken care of. Those flying magic beasts weren't weak, so Zhao Hai just let the Bone Dragons attract their attention while the main army were dealing with the beasts on the ground.
This was simply a screen killing. In the outskirts of Accra Mountain, there were no high-level beasts. Zhao Hai didn't know what methods the lesser dragons used, but they had made all of the magic beasts in the mountain crazily attack Zhao Hai's army. This made Zhao Hai's movement difficult, very difficult.
However, Zhao Hai didn't turn those low-level magic beasts into undead. It was because there was no need to do so, their levels were just too low and their bodies were too small. Although the magic beasts, blue eyed rabbits, long tailed chickens and the like, were frantically attacking the undead, how could they deal damage with their small strength. Even if the undead just stood there, these beasts wouldn't be able to move them.
These beasts were just too small, and even if Zhao Hai were to make them into undead, they wouldn't be very useful. At the same time, Zhao Hai also left those beasts for the adventurers who were trailing him. He hoped that these adventurers would take those magic beasts and leave Accra Mountain. In this way, the unnecessary casualties would be a little smaller.
Zhao Hai had disassembled the entire cube formation, but this didn't mean that each undead was alone. They were still divided into squads of 500 people, coordinating with each other as they advanced.
Accra Mountain was just too big, and it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to let all of his undead go alone. If they were along and were to suffer multiple attacks by the Dragons, then Zhao Hai's losses wouldn't be very small. Therefore, Zhao Hai had them group into units of 500 each in order to deal with this problem. They would have enough power to block the Dragons then, after all, they were still 9th ranks and the Space's undead were still able to think for themselves and know how to face the enemy.
However, this arrangement slowed their advance. After all, the amount of crazy magic beasts were colossal. Nobody knew how many magic beasts there were inside Accra Mountain, and all of those magic beasts were now crazily charging towards Zhao Hai. It was quite a scary sight, if the opponent wasn't Zhao Hai, then they would've been unable to attack.
Zhao Hai and his army advanced step by step before the corpses of these magic beasts. Whether it be those who were flying, walking, or even digging holes, every single beast was going after the invading army. Zhao Hai had no other choice but to kill them in order to progress. Every patch of ground that Zhao Hai and his army walked on were completely painted with blood.
The adventurers who followed behind Zhao Hai were shocked at the number of magic beasts corpses that they had come across. Although these were common magic beasts of the continent and were things that might not even deserve killing, the sheer numbers present at this time truly made these adventurers startled.
However, these adventurers didn't have any Space Equipments to keep the corpses. And the most important thing in their minds right now was to witness the battle and not to collect beast corpses. Therefore, most of them ignored the corpses and continued to scale the mountain, following Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn't have the mood to pay attention to these adventurers. At this moment, Cai'er suddenly thought of something as she approached Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, since these adventurers don't want the corpses, how about we store them instead? No matter what, they are still meat. We cannot have only grain in the later war, otherwise, the soldiers would be malnourished."
When Zhao Hai heard Cai'er, he turned his head towards the adventurers and discovered that the corpses were left in the ground. Some of them who came across higher levelled magic beasts only took their magic crystal before continuing forward.
After he saw this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, go send those corpses to the Space where they won't rot. When we run out of meat later, then we'll eat those."
Green laughed and said, "We really don't lack meat, but we might as well get more. What I'm afraid of was the Accra Mountain losing all of its magic beasts and become a dead mountain."
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "These magic beasts are under the control of the Dragons. If they weren't killed right now, then the Dragons can command them to attack the Humans later on. That is the terrifying thing. Just think, blue eyed rabbits and long-tailed chickens blotting out the skies as they charge towards a Human army. That would be very dangerous, so why don't we just use them as food?"[1]
Green and the others nodded, they knew that Zhao Hai was right in saying so. These magic beasts might look harmless but if they were to crazily attack the Humans one day, then they would become terrifying. Just thinking about a rabid rabbit charging towards you and then tearing away your flesh, that thought alone would make people shake.
Instead of waiting for that time, then Zhao Hai might as well deal with those magic beasts ahead of time. After all, they can also gain military rations along the way.
The reason why Green and the others were assured that the magic beasts would be killed was the fact the army that they commanded weren't composed of people, they were all undead. And have you heard of a terrified undead? No. The undead had no emotions, even if they were faced with these numbers of magic beasts, even if they were to rush in front of a Dragon, all they would do was hold on to their weapons properly and then immediately attack, it was that simple.
The undead were undead, even if they were capable of thinking, they will never disobey their master. Zhao Hai's command was to kill all of the enemies. Whether they be magic beasts or dragons, they will do it. Even if they were intelligent and were capable of rational thought, they still wouldn't interrupt Zhao Hai's order.
A group of people with no fear was terrifying. It was because of this that Green and the others were confident that these undeads could eliminate every beast that came to attack them. If this was a Human army, then it would be an impossible feat. In the face of overwhelming beast frenzy, they will be too scared to use all of their strength. In the end, they would only be drowned by the enemy.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't fly directly towards Dragon's peak but just pushed forward step by step. This was not because Zhao Hai was bloodthirsty and wanted to kill the magic beasts of the mountain ,instead, he was worried.
Zhao Hai had complete confidence in dealing with the Dragons. However, he couldn't say the same if the Dragons were to escape. If Dragons were to escape, then they can just return to Accra Mountain and establish their magic beast army once more. When that time comes, Zhao Hai would have another headache to deal with.
I could recall the rat apocalypse in Coiling Dragon hahaChapter 671 – Transformation?
This kind of worry was not without reason. The Dragons had been in Accra Mountain for so many years. It can be said that the entire mountain had become their root. They didn't care if people come and attacked the magic beasts, this was because the adventurers can only kill those inferior magic beasts, so it wouldn't really affect their core strength. Moreover, if these adventurers were to come here to hunt and kill magic beasts, then the Empires of the continent wouldn't place their attention to the mountain.
If the Dragons really turn the Accra Mountain into their exclusive place, then the Empires of the continent will definitely pay attention to it. This was because the geographical position of Accra Mountain was too important. The mountain was part of the Lyon Empire, a small region of it was part of the Buddha Empire, it was also bordered with the Dwarves and the Elves. In this case, if the Accra Mountains become a completely different kingdom, then these forces would definitely not agree to it.
Therefore, the Dragons allowed the Humans to enter and kill magic beasts in the mountain. Not only could it not affect their strength, they can also use this opportunity to observe and get information out of them. And they did this very successfully.
In the past, Zhao Hai didn't want to be ruthless towards the magic beasts. But ever since he discovered that even the powerless blue eyed rabbits and long tailed chicken were frantically attacking him, Zhao Hai decided to remove them from the mountain. At the very least, they wouldn't be a threat in the future.
The Dragon race's control over the Accra Mountain was incomparably strong, one can prove this point just by seeing the blue eyed rabbits and the long tailed chickens. This can also be proven when one looks back in time to the point where the Dragons dealt with the Lyon Empire. The Lyon Empire's main force was their cavalry, and their mounts were all taken from Accra Mountain. When the Dragons made their move against the Lyon Empire, these magic beast mounts rebelled.
However, the Dragons were unable to command the magic beasts of other people, or a magic beasts' beast subordinates. They couldn't just terrify those magic beasts, and even if they were terrified, they still wouldn't frantically attack the Humans. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai didn't fly directly towards Dragon's Peak and just advanced slowly on the ground, attacking each and every magic beast that they had come across.
One the other hand, the adventurers that were following Zhao Hai felt that they were going crazy. Every inch of Accra Mountain was completely red, the blood of the magic beasts already gave the mountain a scarlet color.
Zhao Hai looked at everything with a calm expression. He wasn't killing people this time, so he didn't have much of a burden on his conscience. He felt the same as when a person slaughters a pig. Except for some special people, there weren't a lot of people who would sympathize with the pigs. Most people would just think about how delicious the pork would be.
Although the magic beast attacks were very fierce, they didn't have even a point of coordination. All of them were just rushing over to Zhao Hai. The arrival of these magic beasts only gave Zhao Hai's side more food for the future.
Green looked at the frantic beasts and sighed, "It seems like our decision to deal with the Dragons is correct. If the Divine Race came and the dragons controlled these magic beasts, then the Human armies would certainly suffer huge consequences."
While speaking about it, Green's face couldn't help but turn ugly. He was imagining how that scenario would turn out to be.
Kun sighed and said, "Right, the two seeds that the Divine Race had left behind were indeed terrifying. One was the Radiant Church, who used religion to control the population. And then there was the Dragon Race, who used their status to control an innumerable amount of magic beasts. If these magic beasts were like the magic beasts in other places, then they surely won't obey the Dragons. But since the Dragons had lived in Accra mountain for too long, they were now regarded by the beasts as gods, even those who had no wisdom had sided themselves to the Dragons. If the Divine Race did come, then they would have an army that wasn't afraid of death. With the strength of the Dragons as well as the logistical might of the Radiant Church, as well as the God-rank expert's leadership, what kind of situation would we be facing?"
Zhao Hai sneered and said, "Even if we didn't come and deal with the Dragons, we can still take care of them in the future, albeit being more costly in our part. But since we will eliminate them right now, this will only hasten the Radiant Church's action, there wouldn't be any major changes in our situation."
Green and Kun both sighed, even if they defeat the Radiant Church and the Dragon Race, they would still suffer some disadvantages in facing the Divine Race. After all, those two forces were seeds that the Divine Race planted in the continent. Their influence and impact had already been felt and applied to the continent from their many years of operation.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai has the Space, which provided him with effective weapons in the form of the undead. Otherwise, whether it be the Radiant Church or the Dragons, they would be able to drown out Zhao Hai's forces.
The speed that Zhao Hai advanced wasn't fast, the magic beasts were just too crazy. It was possible that this flood of beasts wouldn't stop. It was great that the undead didn't get tired and weren't lenient in killing the magic beasts. The cold slaughter was still going on.
While the slaughter was continuing, Zhao Hai and the others were now coming across higher level magic beasts. Compared to before, when they were mostly getting 1st-ranks, they were now getting 2nd and 3rd rank magic beasts.
While Zhao Hai and the others were paying attention to the magic beasts, they weren't truly focused on the fight. Instead, they were discussing on possible methods that the Dragons would attack them later on.
Zhao Hai was quite worried about the attack of the Dragon Race. After all, this was Accra Mountain, the domain of the Dragons. Even with something like the Space's monitor, Zhao Hai would still need to be careful.
At this time, Zhao Hai felt that the skies outside had slowly become dark. Zhao Hai stared, then was stunned when he figured it out. The skied had turned dark, it meant that a day has passed!
Upon seeing that the magic beast attack was still going on, Zhao Hai couldn't help but breath in a cold air as he said, "We had been fighting for a day? These magic beasts are crazy. Did the Dragons drug them? Cai'er, what kind of drug is in these magic beasts?!"
Cai'er shook her head and said, "There's no drug, Young Master. These magic beasts didn't ingest anything. I already scanned the corpses that we had acquired before, they were all clean."
Zhao Hai was stunned, he looked at Green and said, "This is too crazy. Can Dragons really control the beasts to this degree? I have to ask what is going on." Then Zhao Hai called a Dragon over and said, "Can you go back to your Human form?"
The Dragon nodded, then his appearance changed and slowly turned into a person. This Dragon was the same as the previous ones that he had seen before. He was also wearing a robe that was made out of their own scales.
At this time, a prompt was then heard from the Space, "Transformation ability discovered in Cyborg beings. Extracting ability. Applying ability to all Cyborg-type beings. Application is complete."
Zhao Hai gawked, he didn't think that the Space could actually withdraw the Dragon's ability to transform. At the same time, it also applied it to all the undead. Does this mean that the undead now have a Human form?
After thinking about it, Zhao Hai lost his drive to ask the Dragon about the state of the magic beasts. He took the Dragon and Alien to the Space. Then he came out of the Space and looked at Alien, "Alien, can you change into your human form?"
Alien's human-like eyes looked at Zhao Ha,. then he shook his head. It seems like it didn't know how to do it. So Zhao Hai turned to the Dragon and said, "What do you do when you want to go to your human form?"
The Dragon answered immediately, "Young Master, there's no special method. As long as you think that you want to be in your human form, then that would be enough."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Alien and said, "Alien, just think that you want to be human. Understood?" Alien nodded, it seems like it understood Zhao Hai.
Then Zhao Hai saw that Alien's figure started to shake, and then it shrank. The bones on Alien's body shrunk as well. In the end, Zhao Hai can see a person with full body armor in front of him. The man was two meters in height, his armor was red and had spikes on them. One can understand at one glance that this person was strong. However, this person didn't wear his headpiece, revealing his skeleton face.
Zhao Hai took a few laps to examine this man in front of him. He had discovered that Alien had turned into a real Human with a human structure. He didn't have any tail or extra appendages. This made Zhao Hai feel quite happy.
However, when he saw Alien's face, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alien, turn into a human, not a skeleton. Do it, quick, I want to see how you look."
Alien nodded, then a white light flashed. After the light retreated, Zhao Hai saw a warrior wearing red clothes. This guy was very tall and looked quite strong. He had an ugly and terrifying face, he was also bad, he didn't look like good person at all.
Zhao Hai looked at the new and odd Alien and said, "Alien, where's your body armor? You can't wear it in this form?"
Alien looked perplexed as he shook his head, then using spiritual communication, he sent, "I don't know, Young Master. Isn't it fine this way?"
Zhao Hai knit his brows, he was quite confused. At this time, the Dragon opened its mouth and said, "Young Master, it seems like Alien's previous form was just like the Dragon Race's battle form. Maybe this was the reason."
Zhao Hai stared, then he clapped his hand and said, "So its like that. It seems like the undead can also get into three forms. This is good."
Chapter 672 – The Dragons didn't Appear
Green and the others were happy as well. Although the strength of magic beasts were formidable, their builds were too big. And in their cramped situation inside Accra Mountain, their performance wouldn't be as efficient as the Human form undead. So now that they had this ability, these undead magic beast would be able to display even more power.
Although Alien was still unable to speak and can only communicate over spirit transfer, this didn't matter. It didn't have any effect on its fighting strength.
Then Zhao Hai turned to the Dragon and then asked, "What is your name?"
The undead Dragon immediately replied, "Young Master, I'm called, Ao Sar."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Do you know why these magic beasts are still listening to the Dragons? What is happening?"
Ao Sar replied, "I do. Young Master, this is actually a secret technique that the Divine Race had left behind. This technique is called Divine Enlightenment. This technique is quite formidable, after being used on a magic beast, this magic would still manage to penetrate its descendants, making the subsequent generations loyal to the Dragon Race. No matter what we order them, they will obey, even if they are asked to commit suicide or slaughter their children. There are many uses of this technique, but it is still useless to magic beasts with high wisdom, and it also has little influence on people. At the same time, this technique uses up a lot of magic each time. But since the Dragons have been in the Accra Mountain for too long, all the magic beasts had been turned into loyal beings to the Dragons. It was precisely because of Divine Enlightenment that the magic beasts were all frantically attacking the Young Master's army."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "So it turns out to be something left behind by the Divine Race. Can you also do this Divine Enlightenment?"
The Dragon nodded, "I can, all Dragons are capable of executing the technique."
Zhao Hao gave a nod, "Then tell me the how you do it, let me see what this Divine Enlightenment looks like." Then the Dragon complied, telling Zhao Hai how to execute this technique.
This Divine Enlightenment's application method was based on light element magic, but it was not entirely light magic. It was a combination between light magic and blood magic.
When using the technique, one would use their own blood first as a guide before one casts the magic. This kind of magic would not only affect the magic beast, it would also manifest on its descendants. One could say that it was a kind of evil control magic.
Zhao Hai didn't use the magic even though he had learned how to do it. He just wanted to understand the magic that were used by the Divine Race. Now it seems like the Divine Race were indeed powerful, they can actually combine different magic to make completely new spells.
Although the fight was still going on outside, Zhao Hai and the others didn't rush out. It had continued for the whole day, they were even unaware that night had arrived. At this time, they felt somewhat hungry, so their had their dinner inside the Space.
Even if he left the undead outside, all of them were 9th ranks, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about them.
While they were eating their dinner inside the Space, Zhao Hai and the others discussed the fight that happened during the day. Green took a sip of his wine and then said, "Where are the Dragons? The lesser Dragons should have already reported what just happened. Why were the magic beasts continuing to attack?"
Kun smiled faintly and said, "It isn't really strange. The Dragons are unaware of the existence of the Space. In their minds, these undead were controlled by Dark Mages. The Dark Mage might be strong, but they couldn’t sustain commanding these undead for too long. I think the Dragons are trying to drain Little Hai's magic by bombarding him with those magic beasts. When Little Hai's mental power gets exhausted, the Dragons can just come and deal with him easily. Unfortunately for them, Little Hai didn't need to expend energy in commanding the undead, he already has the Space to do that. The undead can fight as long as Little Hai wants."
Zhao Hai gave a slight smile and said, "If the Dragons think like that, then that would be great for us. If we can kill all the magic beast in the mountain, then we would generally be taking care of the Dragons' trump card. Even if the Dragons were to escape, they wouldn't be a threat to us anymore."
Green agreed, "It would be troublesome if the Dragons were to keep their magic beast army. Moreover, whether or not the Dragons survive this battle, their reputation is now ruined. After this, even the Humans wouldn't be as scared of the Dragons as before."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "But I think the Radiant Church wouldn't just be still upon seeing this. They would definitely have the the Divine Race act as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Divine Race wouldn't have any allies if they were to delay. Our current exhibition has already informed the Radiant Church that they are no match against us."
Kun nodded, "It looks like we need to prepare for even more battles." The group sighed, the jovial mood of their dinner was now gone.
After finishing their meal, Zhao Hai and the others went to the Space's villa and watched the crazy attacks of the magic beasts. At this point, the levels of the magic beasts that they were encountering had already reached 4th to 5th rank. However, even these levels had no impact to the undead army. It seems like in the eyes of the undead, all of these beasts were of the same level.
Upon seeing the continual magic beast assault, Zhao Hai couldn't help but knit his brows and said, "From day to night, these magic beasts actually didn't stop. At the same time, no Dragons can be seen. What kind of plot do they have?"
Green was frowning as well, "What are the Dragons thinking? Do they want to attack us this way? It seems to be the wrong way of doing it."
Kun shook his head and said, "Don't think about it too much. If they attack, then let them be. In any case, we are here to destroy them, eliminate them for good. There's not much to think about."
Zhao Hai nodded, but he still frowned, "But I still feel that there is something wrong. We can't go on like this. I must make the undead deal with this as soon as possible."
Naturally, nobody opposed to Zhao Hai's decision. The Space had an uncountable amount of magic beast corpses, all of which can be turned into undead.
In the past, the levels of the magic beasts were too low. Although the Space can still make them into undead, their levels were really to low for them to be 9th ranks. After all, the difference was too far. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't turn those initial magic beasts in to undead. However, the beasts that they were killing at this point were 4th or 5th ranks. They were definitely worth turning into undead.
After deciding on what to do, Zhao Hai immediately came out of the Space and turned all of the dead magic beasts into undead, increasing the amount of undead in Zhao Hai's army.
The Accra Mountain was extremely large, and it had many magic beasts in it, much more than Zhao Hai can count. At this point, the Space has about 10 million 1st and 2nd ranked beasts. Adding the amount of 3rd, 4th, and 5th ranks, the current count would reach 20 million. The lower ranks can be turned to army provisions, however, those with high enough levels were turned into undead. After this fight, Zhao Hai's undead army would be much more powerful. This gave him more confidence in dealing with the Divine Race.
However, the main thing on Zhao Hai's mind right now was his feeling of unease. It seems like something was going on, and he wanted to know about it as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the adventurers that were behind Zhao Hai had become dumbfounded. They can't see any magic beast corpses anymore. However, the battle in front of them was still going on. There were still blood on the ground, the only thing missing were the dead corpses.
Zhao Hai didn't have the mood to think about any of these right now. His army of undead was rapidly increasing. At first, it was the magic beasts who were attacking them, but now, Zhao Hai's army were the ones who did the assault. Aside from the ground, the aerial battles had heated up as well. There were also a lot of flying beasts in Accra Mountain, and these flying beasts were now getting attacked by Bone Dragons, naturally, they didn't stand a chance.
With the increase of undead, Zhao Hai's rate of advancement had also increased. As they got closer to Dragon's peak, 7th and 8th rank magic beasts had started to appear. Although these beasts weren't numerous, their attacking power wasn't something to scoff at. Even if the undead were able to deal with them, they still managed to drive them back for some time.
But still, Zhao Hai was unable to see any Dragons. This made Zhao Hai very surprised. The skies slowly turned to day, and at this point, the mountain had turned quiet. All of the magic beasts on Accra Mountain were dead.
Zhao Hai's undead had now reached more than ten million. While Zhao Hai was continuing his slaughter up into the mountain, he was still quite puzzled as to why the Dragons still didn't appear.
Before long, Zhao Hai finally arrived at Dragon's peak. This place was the highest point in Accra Mountains. This place was an extinct volcano. However, even if it was extinct, it was still very hot. The place where the Dragons resided in was in the deep crater where a lake was situated in the bottom. On the inner walls of the crater, caves can be seen one after another. Those caves were the residences of the Dragons.
The terrain here had already been scouted by Zhao Hai's staff. Therefore, Zhao Hai was very clear about the place. But what was not clear was the fact that the Dragons were still absent even if Zhao Hai was already at the mouth of their home.
After thinking about this, he immediately flew to the peak along with his undead army. He wanted to see what was going on. Did the Dragons already escape? This wasn’t very likely, it was not in line with the nature of the Dragons.
