Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Let me help you maintain your werewolf form forever
“Wait a minute, the castle has a protective shield, and I’m still within the seven-day newbie protection period. I’m supposed to be invincible inside the castle.”

Alex patted her chest to calm her racing heart and even gave her bosom a reassuring squeeze.

Surprisingly, the level 9 Moon Silver Wolf had a skill. Seeing the ‘bloodlust’ skill, Alex couldn’t help but smirk slyly.

“Let’s see if these Moon Silver Wolves can trigger their bloodlust skill against my undead who can’t be killed. If they can, I’ll consider it a loss!”

The undead scattered around the castle also noticed the silver intruders. The undead in the air and on the ground began to converge on the wolf pack.

These Moon Silver Wolves were elite creatures, capable of scattering the bodies of Skeleton Soldiers with a single pounce, but it was futile.

The Skeleton Soldiers quickly reassembled and launched another attack on the wolves.

“It seems these Moon Silver Wolves aren’t very smart!”

“Didn’t any of the wolves from the last time go back and tell them that these skeletons are undead?”

Oh, right, these dumb wolves can’t talk.

More and more Skeleton Soldiers and zombies gathered, along with numerous death knights and a flock of specters flying above. The number of undead was nearing five hundred.

Thirty-something wolves, how dare you attack a undead castle?

As more and more undead besieged them, it wasn’t long before some unlucky wolves got injured. Their space to maneuver grew smaller, increasingly cornered by the undead.

Their high Agility was of no use now.

“It looks like these wolves can’t win even without Arthur!”

This was the first time Alex had seen so many undead attacking an enemy together. The scene was truly spectacular.

Howling mournfully, the leading Moon Silver Wolf let out a cry, and the surrounding Moon Silver Wolves joined in with their own howls.

The leading Moon Silver Wolf’s veins bulged, and its limbs grew thick and powerful. Its front paws even lifted off the ground, standing on its hind legs alone.

The claws on its forelimbs grew as large as its head, sprouting five sharp black nails.

The leading Moon Silver Wolf, over six and a half feet long, transformed into a werewolf standing nearly ten feet tall!

As the lead wolf transformed, the surrounding Moon Silver Wolves began to change as well. Eventually, all thirty-some Moon Silver Wolves turned into werewolves about eight feet tall.

Some of the injured Moon Silver Wolves healed their wounds during the transformation, their eyes glowing with a blood-red light.

“Holy fuck!!!”

Isn’t this cheating? How can they transform?

Alex remembered something Greenbean had mentioned before: high-level Moon Silver Wolves can freely switch to werewolf form, while ordinary Moon Silver Wolves can only transform on a full moon night.

And tonight was indeed a full moon!

No wonder the wolves didn’t come yesterday; they were waiting for tonight.

[Howling Moon Werewolves]

[Race: Moon Wolf Clan.]

[Life Tier: Standard.]

[Level: lv9 (max)]

[Health Points: 240×2]

[Mana Points: None]

[Strength: 50×2]

[Stamina: 45×2]

[Agility: 40×2]

[Skill: bloodlust (Killing an enemy grants a berserk effect lasting thirty seconds, with the timer resetting upon another kill.) ]

[Skill: Self-healing (All injuries except fatal ones can heal rapidly.)]

Alex quickly checked the opponent’s attributes, surprised by their strength.

Health Points increased by forty points, doubling to eighty. Strength and Agility were further enhanced, with Strength reaching an astonishing one hundred points after the night’s enhancement.

And they gained another skill, self-healing!

But Alex thought it over carefully; while self-healing might seem overpowered to other races, it was somewhat useless against Alex’s undead army.

What? You can heal yourself? Sorry, the undead don’t die!

The transformed werewolf leader, using its massive claws, could kill a weak skeleton soldier with a single swipe.

Even the mind attacks used by the Phantoms flying above had minimal effect on this werewolf.

It seemed that after transforming into werewolves, their defense had significantly strengthened, or perhaps the gap was too large and the distance too far for Alex to see clearly.

A death knight wielding a scythe charged at a werewolf, who easily blocked the attack with crossed claws, only for the blocking claws to turn black from the curse’s erosion.

However, the death knight’s curse couldn’t stack, and it was clear that these Howling Moon Werewolves’ Life Tier was not lower than that of the death knights, so the intimidation had no effect.

The damage inflicted by the death knight was quickly repaired by the werewolves’ Self-healing skill.

The only thing that had an effect was the Death Warrior’s corpse poison, which, by accumulating, could effectively suppress the werewolves’ Self-healing skill.

As the phantoms and specters’ soul attacks began to stack, their power increased, and some of the lower-level werewolves started to be affected.

Suddenly, a gargoyle swooped down from the sky, its claws piercing into a werewolf’s body, then flew high into the air with it. The gargoyle then pulled its hands apart, ripping the werewolf in two, its halves falling to the ground.

The werewolf split in two lay motionless; it seemed that the injury was beyond the range of its Self-healing skill, and it was completely dead.

A light bulb suddenly lit up over Alex’s head.

“Got it!”

Alex cautiously approached the castle gate, his left eye flashing blue light, a magical array appearing in his eyes.

The werewolf corpses in the distance remained unchanged.

Alex: “…”

The casting distance wasn’t enough!

Seeing the werewolves tightly surrounded by the undead, Alex felt much relieved and moved a few steps forward.

Alex summoned again, this time the distance was sufficient!

A magical array identical to the one in Alex’s eyes appeared on the halves of the werewolf’s corpse.

Then, a werewolf made of skeletons was successfully summoned from within, the bone beast werewolf immediately charged at its former kin.

The surrounding werewolves were stunned by this scene. The red glow in the eyes of the transformed werewolf turned into blue flames dancing within its eye sockets, and its body was gone, leaving only a skeleton that could still stand and even attack.

This was utterly inconceivable to the other werewolves.

[bone beast werewolves]

[Race: undead race]

[Loyalty: 100% (Never Betray)]

[Life Tier: Standard]

[Level: lv5 (non-upgradable)]

[Health Points: Undead trait, immortal as long as the soul fire burns]

[Mana Points: 0]

[Strength: 34]

[Stamina: ∞]

[Agility: 30]

[Growth Limit: Commanding level]

Alex examined the attributes of the bone beast werewolves and felt satisfied. She had guessed that summoning on the werewolves’ corpses would definitely produce an undead werewolf, rather than its original wolf form.

Alex flashed a wicked smile.

“How troublesome it must be to transform every full moon night. Let me help you maintain your werewolf form forever, hehehe!”

“Wow, how wicked!”
