Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Mysterious man
From the moment he took to the air, the man didn’t hesitate and charged at Alex on Ice Cream’s back with his fastest speed.

At that moment, Alex was completely unaware, only able to hear the sounds of fighting coming from the ground.

Although Alex shared some traits with the undead, she didn’t know why she couldn’t ignore the darkness like they could.

Suddenly, Alex felt Ice Cream move, followed by a muffled sound.

Bang!

The man hadn’t expected the frost dragon to react so quickly, and he was slapped away by its claw.

The man dusted the snow off his clothes and stood up from the snowy ground.

“Ice Cream, what happened?”

Alex couldn’t see anything and had to ask Ice Cream.

“The figure on the ground flew up and attacked, but I slapped him away.”

Alright, Alex could be sure now; this was definitely not human.

Ice Cream hadn’t sensed any magical aura or seen any weapons, which meant this “person” could fly on his own without relying on anything.

“Ice Cream, what’s his strength like?”

“Low-level Commanding.”

“How does he compare to me?”

“Stronger than you.”

Alex pulled out her scythe, and her attributes doubled instantly.

“And now?”

“Weaker than you.”

Alex felt relieved and immediately ordered Ice Cream to start descending to assist Arthur.

After enduring two hours of blizzard, Alex had finally made it here; she wasn’t about to let someone else steal these werewolf corpses.

As Ice Cream landed, Alex jumped down, the snow on the ground had reached about 8 inches deep, covering up to her lower legs.

Alex launched a fireball upwards, which exploded directly. The entire battlefield was momentarily illuminated by the firelight.

Alex could now see the man opposite her and the figures fighting with Arthur.

Their first impression on Alex was their paleness, too white, even whiter than Alex’s skin, an unhealthy pallor that didn’t seem normal for humans.

The man wore a black tailcoat, while the other figures were all in red tailcoat, standing out starkly against the white snow.

The fire magic was ineffective in this weather condition, the light maintained only for a moment before dissipating.

But Alex still saw the frozen werewolf corpses behind the man.

Alex’s left eye emitted a pale blue light, and instantly a magic circle appeared beneath the werewolf corpses.

The man also sensed the magical aura behind him and looked back, only to see bone beast werewolves crawling out from the corpses.

The first reaction of these bone beast werewolves was to attack the man in front of them.

At this moment, the man finally understood why this Lord wanted these corpses; she could actually use them to summon undead!

The man quickly dispersed the bone beast werewolves attacking him; their bones were restricted by the snow, slowing their reassembly.

The moment Alex used her left eye magic, she suddenly realized she could now ignore the darkness!

Everything around her was clear under the enhancement of her left eye, no different from daylight.

As long as she kept her left eye open, she could ignore the darkness without using magic, consuming no Mana Points, only requiring mental effort.

Although the vision was limited to one eye and might be a bit narrower, it wasn’t a big problem.

At least she wouldn’t be troubled by visibility at night anymore.

“Are you a Lord?”

Holding her scythe, with one eye emitting a blue light, Alex asked the man in front of her.

The man, dressed differently from the others, was clearly the leader of the group, while the others were all in uniform attire.

The man, seeing the girl nearby whose aura had strengthened, next to a frost dragon he couldn’t defeat, and on the other side, a bone dragon that could never be killed, made a decision.

“Retreat!”

The man’s cold voice rang out, not answering Alex’s question, and all the figures around him turned into shadows, shooting up into the sky and scattering.

With her left eye enhanced, Alex felt her senses sharpened and her body became more agile.

Alex cast dark magic, her figure instantly turning into a black mist and disappearing, reappearing in front of the man.

She swung her scythe, the large blade burning with black flames, slashing towards the man. The black flames formed a long tail as Alex swung rapidly.

The man hadn’t expected the girl in front of him to be so fast. He lifted the tail of his coat, trying to envelop Alex with a large piece of black cloth.

But the cloth was easily torn by Alex’s scythe, and the man grew long nails on his hands to block the scythe’s attack.

The man was pushed back several steps by the scythe, a wound on his hand burning with black flames, the pain of his soul burning contorting his face. Not only that, he also felt his lifespan diminishing.

Decisively, the man chopped off his injured arm with his other hand.

The fallen arm quickly turned to ash on the snowyground, and the man, clutching his severed limb, disappeared from the spot.

“He’s quick on his feet.”

Arthur, meanwhile, took to the skies to pursue the group.

Ice Cream stayed in place, ensuring Alex’s safety.

Alex’s scythe transformed into a stream of light and reverted back into a bracelet on her wrist.

Unable to fly, Alex could only watch helplessly as they escaped.

Arthur had gone after them, but the enemy’s flying speed was not slow, and their small size made them more agile. Even if they couldn’t escape, they could easily hide.

It turned out that activating her left eye also came with hidden attribute bonuses, something Alex had never realized before, having only used it as a summoning skill.

The snow was disturbed in many places, indicating that these people had been here for a while and had already transported away many werewolf corpses.

It seemed someone had beaten her to it.

Alex specifically asked Ice Cream about them, but Ice Cream also had no recollection of them, suggesting that this man’s castle was likely outside the snowy mountains and also capable of observing the battles within the center of the snowy mountains.

Alex couldn’t understand what use these corpses could have for other Lords besides her.

Anyone with the strength to venture deep into the snowy mountains surely wouldn’t be interested in the food disassembled from these corpses, right?

The werewolf corpses that those people had found had just been summoned by Alex, and now she had to search the area like them.

Alex chose to summon all the werewolf corpses as bone beast werewolves, and for regular wolves, she used double summoning to turn them into other undead.

“Ice Cream, can you clear the snow on the ground?”

Alex remembered that Ice Cream had control over ice and snow, so this shouldn’t be difficult.

Ice Cream lowered its head.

Roar!

A deafening roar erupted, carrying a massive gust of wind that instantly blew away all the snow on the ground in front of them, revealing the brown frozen earth below.

The frozen corpses, being too heavy, surfaced.

“Well done, Ice Cream.”

At that moment, Arthur also returned from his pursuit, having killed a few of the figures along the way but worried about chasing too far, he hurried back.

“Ice Cream, take a look around. Arthur is back, and he can protect me now.”
