Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2561  Slumbe

[Hint: The player has dealt additional damage to the death knight's will.]

[Hint: The death knight has been consumed and has fallen into a slumber state. Until his will is restored, the death knight will remain asleep.]

[Hint: The player has successfully defeated the death knight. The player receives a reward: holy spirit crystal*5.]

[Hint: The player has passed the death knight's assessment. Current mission-Empress's Trial mission requirements have changed. Please proceed to explore the mausoleum hall of Empress Persephone (Remaining mission time: 10 hours 24 minutes).]

So that's it.

The death knight has entered an indestructible state. With his current abilities, Fang Heng could only deplete the knight's will, putting him into slumber.

No problem there.

At least his current goal had been achieved.

The death knight wouldn't be a nuisance anymore, and he had already secured his rewards.

Li Shaoqiang noticed Fang Heng's momentary silence and felt a twinge of anxiety, "Mr. Fang? Is there some unexpected issue?"

"It's fine. The death knight has been defeated, and I've severely weakened his will. He'll be asleep for a while."

Fang Heng nodded lightly and added, "The death knight is a product of strong will. I was just lucky to have broken through it."

"Phew," Li Shaoqiang exhaled in relief upon hearing this. "That's good."

"Any updates from the undead council?"

"Not yet," Tan Shuo said, glancing down at the stone slab and shaking his head. "The recent disturbances were too intense, and the slab hasn't shown any signs of movement for a while. Maybe we should wait a bit? Mr. Fang, you can rest too."

"Okay."

As the Everlasting Moon descended, the mirror of the undead council gradually recovered. They saw Fang Heng and the others unharmed, along with the death knight now reduced to stone.

A wave of surprise swept through the undead council.

What had happened?!

After that overwhelming surge of power, the death knight had once again turned to stone? How was it accomplished?

The necromancy instructors in the council began to murmur loudly, their discussions growing more animated.

Georgi waited for a moment, noticing that the chatter showed no signs of stopping. He then stepped in to restore order, signaling for silence.

"Quiet!"

"Everyone, please calm down. We will record what just transpired and will learn the details once Fang Heng and the others return. For now, we have more important matters to investigate, so let's remain composed."

Upon hearing this, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Indeed, Georgi was right.

After passing the death knight's assessment, the next step...

The mausoleum of Empress Persephone was now within sight!

Georgi noticed the excitement in everyone's eyes and nodded, "I understand that everyone is eager to explore the mausoleum of Empress Persephone, and so am I. However, I believe now is not the right time."

"Fang Heng and the others have gone through several rounds of grueling battles, and they are not suited to continue fighting at this moment."

"Moreover, we know that the purpose of the mausoleum is to seek out vessels. Entering recklessly could be too dangerous; one misstep could lead to Empress Persephone's will forcibly seizing control of a body."

"They have already accomplished enough this time; now is the moment to withdraw."

The members of the undead council exchanged glances and quietly debated for a moment before gradually falling silent.

No one had objections to the council's decision.

Although everyone was very curious about the mausoleum, they also understood that this was not the best time to proceed.

With Fang Heng's help, they could continue their exploration next time.

There was no need to take such a significant risk; they had waited thousands of years, so a little more time didn't matter.

They could wait a bit longer!

The undead faction was never short on patience.

"The chairman is right, but I have a request. Once Fang Heng and the others return, I hope to guide him and help him learn necromancy..."

"Ahem."

Dickey cleared his throat upon hearing another mentor's words. "Fang Heng has always been learning from me. Are you trying to poach him in front of me?"

"Hahaha, Dickey, I was just joking. Our branches are different; when it comes to summoning, I dare say no one here understands it better than I do..."

An elder from the necromancy council interrupted, "If that's the case, I can also claim to know more about undead will than anyone here. I can teach Fang Heng relevant knowledge."

Dickey shook his head, not bothering to argue further as he watched his student being snatched up by the others. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shi Lipeng, observing the scene, felt mixed emotions.

These were all top figures from the necromancy faction.

In the past, receiving a word of guidance from any of them was a tremendous benefit.

Now, it seemed like Fang Heng had turned into a coveted treasure, with mentors scrambling to claim him.

"Alright, everyone, let's set aside these discussions until Fang Heng and the others return safely. Right now, our priority is ensuring their safe return," Georgi said, feeling quite pleased. He waved his hand and looked at his assistant. "How's the preparation for the holy weapon? Is it ready to operate?"

The necromancy council assistant nodded and said, "Chairman, the holy weapon is fully prepared and can be activated at any time. However, using it will require a long period to remodel the body, and the death realm's intensity is extremely high. Forcing the use of the holy weapon could damage it, so it's not recommended unless absolutely necessary."

"Chairman," another assistant added, "the situation with the necromancy mentor escort is becoming critical. The storm surrounding Empress Persephone's mausoleum is intensifying."

Everyone had just focused their thoughts on Fang Heng, but upon hearing the assistant's words, they all turned to look at the other side of the mirror.

Indeed, as the assistant had said, the situation outside the mausoleum was grim.

Dark clouds had completely enveloped the perimeter of Empress Persephone's mausoleum and were continuously gathering.

"Alright, inform Fang Heng. It's too dangerous to explore the Empress's mausoleum right now. They should immediately regroup with the external instructor team. If conditions prevent a safe retreat, prepare to use the holy weapon to leave the death realm."

...

"Here it comes! We have news!"

In the hall of the death knight, Fang Heng and the others took a moment to rest when they noticed the stone slab beginning to heat up slightly. Tan Shuo quietly called out and immediately leaned down to check the information on the slab.

Li Shaoqiang leaned in closer, asking, "What does it say?"
