Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Snowy mountain melee
The icy winds mixed with snow began to howl across Alex’s face.

This time, entering the snowy mountain was during the day, not as harsh as the nighttime weather of the previous visit. Although Alex, high in the sky, still couldn’t open her eyes due to the blizzard, she knew it was because she was flying too fast. Daytime visibility was at least much better than at night.

Suddenly, upon spotting a gargoyle ahead, Arthur stopped flying, and the two undead began to communicate.

Taking advantage of this break, Alex observed the surrounding scenery of the snowy mountain. After the newbie protection period had passed, the mist had lifted, and she could see through the snow to the distance.

The entire snowy mountain was white, filled with continuous mountain ranges, offering an absolutely soul-purifying breathtaking view.

After about 2 minutes, the conversation between the two undead ended. The gargoyle pointed in a direction, and Arthur immediately flew full force towards it, with the bone dragon following behind.

About twenty minutes later, they encountered a few more gargoyles along the way.

Arthur flew all the way and stopped atop a snowy mountain. Alex noticed nothing unusual, feeling it was no different from the usual snowy mountains.

“Arthur, is the cave here?” Alex asked, puzzled.

“Yes, my queen, the first gargoyle we met pointed out this location,” Arthur replied.

Arthur began to descend, landing halfway up this snowy mountain where there was a flat area. Alex jumped down directly and discovered a cave entrance frozen by ice and snow halfway up the mountain.

The entrance to the cave was very hidden; indeed, it was hard to spot from a distance.

Just as Alex was about to shatter the ice at the entrance, she suddenly turned her head to the side.

Five figures appeared out of nowhere—it was Lucian and four Commanding level vampires.

Lucian hadn’t expected the undead Lord to also be here. As soon as the two met, they didn’t exchange words and immediately started attacking each other.

As the saying goes, sworn enemies dive straight into battle mode, no need for chatter.

Alex thought, “This damn vampire, stealing so many werewolf corpses wasn’t enough, now he wants to take this cave too?”

She used dark magic to teleport instantly, and a huge scythe appeared in her hand. The blade of the scythe, burning with flames, swung towards Lucian.

Lucian clapped his hands over his ears, instantly becoming deaf. Then, Lucian’s nails grew long, and he met Alex’s strike.

Alex didn’t expect him to be so decisive, turning himself into a deaf man, which made the bells on her scythe ineffective against him.

However, it wasn’t a big problem; being cut by the scythe still inflicted soul damage.

Arthur and the bone dragon took flight, spewing dragon’s breath at the other vampires, while John also came forward with a broadsword.

The two sides instantly clashed into a melee.

At that moment, on the other side of the snowy field, the snow began to stir and finally formed the bodies of Samson and eight snow maidens.

Samson had just steadied himself when he was stunned, “What’s going on, are these two Lords fighting?”

Samson quickly looked at the troops on both sides—one side was vampires, but why weren’t there gargoyles on the other side, but a bone dragon instead?

Three exclamation marks appeared above both Alex and Lucian’s heads.

!!!

In the midst of battle, Alex and Lucian suddenly turned towards Samson and his snow maidens.

“Uh… haha… hello everyone? What a pleasant day today, what did you have for breakfast?”

Samson laughed awkwardly.

John and the opposing Commanding level vampire simultaneously stopped fighting and, as if by tacit agreement, directly attacked Samson.

“Damn, did I offend you guys?!”

Samson and his snow maidens were also forced into the battle.

Among Lords, you’re either allies or mortal enemies, especially with another Lord stirring trouble. Even if Alex could tolerate it, Lucian couldn’t.

John’s sword cut a snow maiden in half, but instead of blood, the body simply fell and merged with the snow on the ground, then regenerated elsewhere.

A vampire also pierced a snow maiden with a palm strike, resulting in the same scenario as John’s side.

Samson broke into a cold sweat; those two snow maidens were Commanding level, his most elite troops. Although snow maidens have immortal abilities in the snow, watching them being instantly killed by the opposing Commanding level was a bit too much for him.

The two regenerated snow maidens immediately flew into the sky, and the vampires, not to be outdone, also took to the air.

The snow maidens released a tornado, carrying a blizzard towards John.

But before the attack reached John, it was smashed by Arthur’s massive body in the sky, forcibly interrupting the spell.

“Are you kidding me?”

Samson was stunned again; his snow maidens, although the most numerous on the field, couldn’t completely handle these skeletons and vampires. Even if they successfully froze the vampires’ limbs, the vampires would unhesitatingly chop them off and quickly grow new ones.

Trying to freeze the bone dragon was even more unrealistic; its body was too large, probably requiring five or six snow maidens to act together, and that’s only if the bone dragon didn’t resist.

A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to Samson—could both these Lords be top-tier Lords from the first echelon?

Oh, god!

His castle was now surrounded by two top-tier Lords.

Because John couldn’t fly, Samson became his target.

Seeing the huge skeleton charging towards him, Samson hurriedly scrambled to the side. But a snow maiden who tried to come to his rescue was flung away by Arthur’s tail.

On the other side.

The scythe in Alex’s hand spun, the flames on the blade forming a ring of fire as she swung.

Alex swung her scythe through the air, missing as Lucian turned into an afterimage and disappeared. Through a period of fighting, Lucian seemed to have discovered Alex’s weakness of not being able to fly and began to exploit his speed and aerial advantage.

“Picking on me because I can’t fly, huh!”

Having fought Alex once before, he knew the terror of the black flames on her body, so he was always looking for an opportunity.

Lucian slashed his wrist, flinging his blood towards Alex, which formed into fine needles in the air.

A wall of fire rose in front of Alex to block, but unexpectedly, the blood pierced right through the flames. She immediately cast a Dark Barrier for defense.

The blood hit the Dark Barrier, emitting puffs of black smoke, all blocked by the Dark Barrier.

The blood that didn’t hit Alex sizzled as it fell to the snowy ground, corroding a hole in the surface.

“What is this? Are you an Alien?”

Alex instantly turned into a black mist and vanished. When she reappeared, she was already in front of Lucian in the air.

Lucian was shocked; he hadn’t expected this girl to also teleport.

The flames on the scythe instantly turned black as Alex gripped the scythe with both hands and swung it towards Lucian.

“I’ll chop you down, you alien!”
