Chapter 1256
In addition to those experiments on living beings, Necromancers who massacred a large number of lifeforms to obtain undeads would be hunted down by all forces. Although Necromancers were disliked, no one would attack one for no reason, after all, Necromancers were known for being weird.

They might come back a few days after being beheaded. Especially Necromancers who transformed into Liches, people would be even more careful to not provoke them.

If they couldn't completely get rid of the other side, the only thing awaiting them would be the Lich digging their ancestral tomb, turning their ancestors into undeads to fight them.

Toursse was relatively famous amongst the Necromancers of the Odin Kingdom. Not because there was no Necromancer stronger than him, but rather because no one was as famous as he was.

Toursse's death aura spread unscrupulously, turning the surroundings four hundred meters into a restricted death area. Black and grey aura filled the area and kept condensing into twisted faces akin to horrifying wailing ghosts.

Seeing Toursse, the onlookers couldn't help trying to hide in the distance. Many people with decent strength hurriedly left the Gilded Rose's street, and even the more powerful ones hid in the distance.

"Faleau, get the f*ck out! The three days are over, serve our Rodney Family or face destruction."

Toursse was sneering, due to mana amplification, his loud voice spread through the entire street. Even the people within the stores heard him clearly.

As for Lin Yun, who was sitting by the window of a tall building, he swept a glance at Toursse before nodding at Pabiete.

"Pabiete, go and act based on the Gilded Rose's rules."

He didn't just want to dispatch Toursse today, he also wanted to let everyone see the Gilded Rose's strength with their own two eyes. With their immense wealth, if the others didn't know about the sharp sword protecting the golds, then everyone might have designs on the Gilded Rose.

Layford and Fortmore already came out when Toursse arrived, but their faces turned ugly when they saw Toursse.

The two were somewhat pale and Layford's eyes were constantly darting towards the tall building on the side, hoping to see something.

'Sh*t, it's actually that damned Toursse, f*ck. That fierce guy was already famous in the Odin Kingdom when I was an infant, how could I beat him?

'It is said that this guy is already at the peak of the 3rd Rank and is a cruel Necromancer. It is also said that he went to an undead plane on his own last year and subdued a few terrifying Undeads.

'Most of the cruel deeds of the Rodney Family are done by Toursse. That guy is unreasonable, his opponents never leave intact bodies behind. Sometimes, his opponents' corpses even end up becoming enslaved undeads.

'How could Fortmore and I block that kind of terrifying guy... The few hooded figures behind him should be the undead lifeforms he subdued. We will be torn apart if we go and try to stop him.'


But thinking of their own situation, Layford and Fortmore only felt bitterness and braced themselves to go over.

"Sir Toursse, please restrain your aura. The rules of the Gilded Rose don't allow this kind of behavior…"

Layford steeled himself and intervened, but he couldn't sound very confident.

Toursse sneered and glanced at Layford and Fortmore with disdain.

"Two idiots discarded by their own family… F*ck off, get out of my sight before I turn you into undeads and get that Faleau to show up. I'll give you three seconds. If the Gilded Rose hasn't surrendered within three seconds, then it doesn't need to exist anymore."

After saying those words, Toursse swept a glance at his surroundings.

"Anyone unrelated can stay if they want to die."

Hearing Toursse's words, most of the onlookers hastily walked towards the entrance of the Gilded Rose.

"Sir Toursse, please…"

Layford braced himself to speak, but the only answer he received was three bone spears.

Fortmore sighed in relief after blocking the three bone spears, and quickly glanced at Layford.

"Sir Toursse, since you are violating the Gilded Rose's rules, we can only get guards to drive you out."

They just needed to stand up and show their stance. Even if a fight started, they couldn't afford to back down.

Layford decisively took out a palm-sized disk and quickly activated it. This was notifying the Gilded Rose's puppets that someone was causing trouble and confirming the order to drive them out.

Layford urgently activated the command plate when a flash of silver appeared before his eyes, a figure covered in a layer of quicksilver instantly appeared between them and Toursse

An icy machine-like voice echoed, "Based on Article 3 Paragraph 17 of the Gilded Rose's rules, you have three seconds to leave, otherwise, based on Article 3 Paragraph 18, you'll be forcibly driven out."

Pabiete's sudden appearance made the panicking onlookers pause, but no one dared to stay. They weren't blind, they knew that a fight was about to start, and no one wanted to be affected.

Toursse sneered and one of the figures standing behind him slowly removed their hood, exposing a black skull. Eerie dark blue soul fires were burning within that black skull's eye sockets. It was an Undead Skeleton.

At that moment, the Undead Skeleton's body disappeared and a two-meter-long bone sword appeared in his hands as he rushed towards Pabiete.

There was no change in Pabiete's tone as he commented, "Escalating a conflict, according to Article 1 Paragraph1, whoever attacks the Gilded Rose has to be killed."

Terrifying mana fluctuations were emitted from Pabiete's body. The Lightning Speed, Elemental Strengthening, and the Defense Strengthening ability runes were instantly activated and Pabiete's body instantly disappeared.

When he reappeared, Pabiete was right in front of that Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton, his right hand changed shape and turned into a cannon emitting a white radiance. The cannon was placed right under the Undead Skeleton's head and aimed towards the sky.

A glaring beam of white light blossomed in an instant from under that Undead Skeleton's chin, blasting its head before disappearing in the sky.

After that attack, Pabiete's right hand turned into a palm once again, with only a black hole visible in the center of his palm. That Undead Skeleton's remaining soul fire and mana suffered from an irresistible devouring power and were devoured in less than a second.

With a soft crashing sound, the Undead Skeleton's body collapsed and turned into a pile of decaying shattered bones.

Instant kill...

A Heaven Rank Undead had been killed in an instant.

This stunned everyone. None of the onlookers expected the Gilded Rose to be so formidable, to have such a strong puppet guard, and to follow the rules so strictly.

In the distance, Layford and Fortmore's faces were somewhat green. Pabiete's speed had already exceeded what their mana could sense. Moreover, his casting speed and power were simply unbelievable.

Undeads had low resistances against light magic, but a Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton's bones were so tough they could directly use their bones as weapons. However, that Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton's head was blown up from one cannon shot and his soul fires dissipated, it couldn't be more dead.

Toursse was somewhat surprised, and anger covered his face. He hadn't expected the Gilded Rose to not even send a representative. They were apparently looking down on him and not taking him seriously. Aside from the two watchdogs, they only dispatched a single guard puppet which instantly killed his 1st Rank Heaven Undead Skeleton.

He couldn't even say anything, what use would there be in threatening a puppet? What a joke... 

The puppet had only been talking about the rules of the Gilded Rose. Even if a God stood in front of it, it might still act based on the rules of the Gilded Rose.

Toursse gnashed his teeth, his expression continuously fluctuating. He simply didn't know what to say. He could threaten and curse the other side as much as he wanted, but the other side was a puppet, regardless of what he said, others would take him as an idiot.

A strong aura of death spread over Toursse's body and the other undeads behind him removed their hoods. There was a jiangshi-type Zombie with pale and fair skin, a Vampire with crimson eyes, and an Undead Mage holding a staff. The three Undeads were all at the Heaven Rank!

The dense aura of death polluted the air.

At this time, orderly metallic sounds echoed as several dozen Level 39 Puppets appeared on both sides of this thousand-meter-wide street and started forming a circle around Toursse and the undeads. Then, the arms of every single puppet changed shape and formed a part of an array.

An eight-hundred-meter-wide purple barrier rose around Toursse and Pabiete in an instant.

In addition to the fifty puppets supporting the barrier, fifty more level 39 puppets appeared and guarded the surroundings.

And aside from the level 39 puppets, there was also several hundred level 35 puppets around the entire Gilded Rose, both inside and outside.

Seeing so many puppets, the expressions of the guests of the Gilded Rose slightly changed. Over a hundred level 39 puppets and several hundred level 35 puppets were guarding the Gilded Rose. There was also that puppet that instantly killed a Heaven Rank undead. The onlookers could only wonder how many puppets were defending the Gilded Rose.

No one had been aware, but according to the current situation, and the Gilded Rose's constant selling of puppet, it was obvious that the Gilded Rose could build a huge puppet army if they wished to. To deal with small forces, the Gilded Rose would only need to dispatch puppets to destroy them in a day.

"Liksi Isolation Barrier… It won't even budge under the attacks of Sir Toursse's Heaven Rank undeads. It can definitely block the battle fluctuations of a 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse.

"And only fifty puppets below level 40 were enough to set up that isolation barrier. The Gilded Rose's puppet and array technology is truly frightening…" A Heaven Rank powerhouse sighed. 

At this time, Faleau walked out of the Gilded Rose's main building and swept a glance around, before buffing his voice with mana, "The Gilded Rose is honored to have so many people attending our exhibition. This small incident is nothing much, I just discussed with our boss, and the Gilded Rose will take responsibility for the trouble.

"Therefore, everyone will have a 20% discount today, regardless of what you decide to buy. And starting tomorrow, everything will be 10% off for a period of three days.

"This is the Gilded Rose's apology.

"In a bit, everyone will get a bottle of Hope Potion as compensation for the small fright."

Faleau's words made the onlookers forget about breathing. Even those afraid of being affected by the battle were startled.

After all, they had a lot of customers, the profits they would lose from the 20% discount wasn't small. Especially those best potions, 20% could amount to a few dozen thousand golds per potion.

As for the Hope Potion, it was one of the main potions of the Gilded Rose, especially the perfect ones. A 1st Rank Magic Apprentice could instantly reach the peak of that realm with a perfect foundation upon drinking one. One bottle could save years of mana accumulation and avoid a potentially bad foundation.

And to people that didn't have much talent, that thing was giving them the opportunity to become Mages.

Not every mage family member had good talents. The descendants of very powerful mages could be very lacking. Only Heaven Mages's descendants would definitely be talented.

Those with poor talent would lag behind from the start. They would have a hard time advancing to the Mage realm, and their bodies would have already deteriorated by the time they advanced the Great Mage realm. They wouldn't be able to move forward even with resources and could only wait for their death.

If they saved time, then there would be a higher chance of advancing higher. Even if the Hope Potion could only be used by Magic Apprentices, it was their best-seller. Even the most ordinary Hope Potion sold for 10,000 purple golds.

Faleau's statement was equivalent to giving away millions of purple golds.

Everyone was shocked by the Gilded Rose's magnanimous actions, but most of them had focused on another part of Faleau's statement.

'Sir Faleau isn't the Gilded Rose's owner?'

'The Gilded Rose's owner is someone else? Sir Faleau is only a manager?'

Following Faleau's words, no one planned on leaving anymore and they all calmly waited. Someone did say that the barrier would completely isolate the battle and they wouldn't be affected after all.

'The Gilded Rose is so impressive, they don't even care about the Rodney Family, Toursse is only a "small incident" to them and simply can't affect others.'

Everyone's impression of the Gilded Rose changed. They looked powerful and backed by a strong mysterious force. And most importantly, the Gilded Rose had a very good reputation, strict rules, and handled matters in an impressive way.

Unconsciously, the feeling of wanting to benefit at others' expenses disappeared from the onlookers' minds, they would feel at ease coming back to the Gilded Rose in the future as they didn't need to worry about quality, nor about the price being too expensive.

Within the barrier, Toursse's expression was completely deformed. Although he couldn't hear what Faleau was saying, he could see the onlookers' expressions changing. He had clearly been used as a tool by the Gilded Rose, a stepping stone to display their power.

"Tear apart that stupid puppet for me, then tear down the Gilded Rose!" Toursse loudly shouted.

The Zombie, Vampire, and Undead Mage attacked together.

The Zombie loudly shouted, his black robe tearing open and exposing fifty-centimeter-big sharp claws. It roared as it charged towards Pabiete.

The Vampire exposed its fangs, its body dissipating into the shadows.

As for the Undead Mage, it raised its bone staff and a dense aura of death spread out as thick dark grey halos appeared on the ground. A team of level 39 Death Knights riding on skeletal horses appeared.

The Zombie with reflective metallic skin was level 42 and rushed at the forefront. After advancing to the Heaven Rank, this kind of lesser undead awakened wisdom. Moreover, its Life Essence also underwent changes. Its body was as solid as steel and was now its strongest weapon. It could even tear a piece of steel apart.

Clearly, these guys mistook Pabiete for a casting puppet. In order to raise the mana output, most of the power generated by the mana reactor of casting puppets was used to power up the weapon systems, very little would be used defensively.

And with enough mana, the weapon system's power would increase without dispersing the defensive power.

Clearly, that fierce grey Zombie was planning on getting rid of Pabiete after getting closer.

The Vampire had turned into a phantom and revolved around Pabiete, seeking an opportunity to attack. The Death Knights launched an attack while the Undead Mage raised the staff in his hands.

Toursse raised his staff and rapidly chanted a compressed incantation, shrouding all of the undeads in death aura and forming bone armors. Moreover, death aura curled around them and reinforced them.

Pabiete's crystal eyes were flickering as he made a grabbing motion in front of him. His red laser sword appeared and a large amount of mana was poured into it, sharply increasing the density of the dark light. This was already the peak of what the laser sword could endure. Just a little bit more mana and the laser sword would become unusable.
