Dig Up the Sun Emperor's Legacy: I Build an Invincible Undead Legion-Chapter 97: Infection Begins

A shield guard dragged the brown-robed figure out. Carlos immediately ordered Purple Thornblade Shield Guard #1 to approach the container.

His pupils shrank as he clearly saw the ’strange humanoid’s’ back through Purple Thornblade Shield Guard #1’s vision:

It was a humanoid mass of rotting flesh, black with red, giving off an ominous aura and constantly writhing back and forth, making one’s scalp crawl involuntarily.

The humanoid flesh mass sensed the Purple Thornblade Shield Guard’s approach. Suddenly, it turned its body around... exposing its full appearance!

The flesh mass was covered with weird black vortexes, positioned exactly at the humanoid outline’s eyes, mouth, ears, heart, limbs...

Greedily devouring the blood water in the container, even the passing light seemed to twist...

"That’s right. Although much smaller in size, its appearance is completely identical to the ’Black Vortex Collector’s’ original form!"

The moment it noticed the Purple Thornblade Shield Guard, the humanoid flesh mass suddenly erupted with extreme greedy desire, and a dark aura struck.

The crimson light on Purple Thornblade Shield Guard #1’s surface blazed brightly, colliding with the dark aura.

"Boom!!!"

Crimson and darkness kept dissolving against each other, battling it out, evenly matched for the moment...

The terrifying shockwave from the collision sent corpses and blood on the ground flying, smashing into the thick pipes around them.

Pipes burst one after another, streams of blood-red liquid gushing out, giving off a thick bloody smell—it was all blood!

"Just in its baby stage, yet already possessing such a terrifying dark aura!"

Carlos’s expression was grim.

This strange humanoid flesh mass, as things stood now, had not yet transformed into a true Black Vortex Collector.

According to records:

Initially, when the Black Poison Faction was conducting brutal and bloody flesh fusion experiments, they accidentally created this strange humanoid black blood mud.

They were over the moon, believing it was a blessing from the dark mist.

So they began frantically collecting various flesh and blood to feed it, hoping for its terrifying transformation.

Under the Black Poison Faction’s efforts, the flesh mud that was initially only finger-sized eventually swelled to 16 feet!

As they wished, on a pitch-black night, the dark mist’s aura descended!

This strange flesh mud condensed from countless devoured flesh and blood was very smoothly infected by the dark mist’s aura, transforming into the terrifying monster ’Black Vortex Collector’!

The newly born Black Vortex Collector had a more refined humanoid outline, with the strange vortexes on its body remaining.

Every inch of its soul was filled with greedy desire to complete itself.

The desire to complete itself drove it to wildly attack all living beings it sensed, whether human or monster.

The purpose was to tear off their organs and absorb them into its own body, thus completing itself.

With each organ completed, the Black Vortex Collector’s dark aura would strengthen several times, becoming increasingly terrifying.

What was more frightening was that the alien organs it absorbed could often pack more punch on its body than on their original owners!

Psionic organs were its absolute favorite!

Many Psionics died by its hands, their organs becoming its collection.

The title Black Vortex Collector came from this.

Finally, a High Priest condensed sacred power in his heart and voluntarily sacrificed himself.

When the Black Vortex Collector eagerly absorbed the High Priest’s heart, the sacred power hidden deep within the heart erupted, destroying this terrifying monster from within.

Carlos exhaled lightly:

"The Black Vortex Collector in the container is estimated to be only 10 feet tall, far from fully grown.

Now is the perfect opportunity to kill it!"

The shield guards raised their shields and surrounded the container completely, their bone surfaces’ crimson radiance erupting simultaneously.

In an instant, the flesh mass’s dark aura was forcibly pushed back into the container.

Right after, the shield guards attacked together, several sharp greatswords suddenly striking the giant container!

"Crack!"

Under the powerful force, the container shattered with a boom, internal blood water gushing out, splashing everywhere...

Suddenly losing its liquid protection, the Black Vortex Collector didn’t react for a moment, standing there like a deer in headlights.

It was stunned, but the shield guards weren’t.

Seeing the main target appear, almost simultaneously, the shield guards thrust out their greatswords:

"Slash!" "Slash!"...

Several razor-sharp greatswords pierced through various parts of the unresponsive Black Vortex Collector!

Where it was pierced, drops of black liquid fell. Before hitting the ground, they turned into blood-red mist and rose.

After several moments, the Black Vortex Collector seemed to finally notice it was under attack, looking down at its body pierced by several greatswords...

On its black mud face, the vortex at the mouth position actually began flattening, as if laughing excitedly and maniacally...

"Something’s not right!"

The Black Vortex Collector’s reaction was off!

In his perception, its aura was indeed rapidly weakening, but it showed no signs of death struggles!

"Keep attacking, chop it into mud chunks!"

...

In the laboratory, several shield guards swept their greatswords horizontally, immediately cutting off chunk after chunk of flesh that scattered across the floor with thuds.

Then their greatswords rapidly chopped at the flesh chunks...

"Thud thud thud thud!"

Several greatswords rose and fell quickly. Within moments, they had chopped the flesh chunks into puddles of mush.

But even so, Carlos still hadn’t received news of a successful kill!

"Such stubborn vitality!"

Carlos couldn’t help but marvel.

This flesh mass’s aura was already barely there, but that last thread of life force remained unbroken.

"Keep chopping! Don’t stop!"

...

The extreme pain of having its flesh cut to pieces and then chopped into mush kept washing over the Black Vortex Collector’s soul.

This was the ultimate experience it had never enjoyed before!

So after being attacked by the shield guards, it completely gave up defense and resistance.

The soul’s pleasure even suppressed its greed for those tempting skeletons, allowing its life force to fade...

"Roar?"

Suddenly, the Black Vortex Collector enjoying its ’massage’ felt a deep aura wrap around its soul!

"Roar!!!"

The Black Vortex Collector’s soul let out an uneasy roar.

This deep aura actually began rapidly eating away at the barriers around its soul...

Even without much intelligence, the instinct at the soul’s deepest core would never allow itself to be changed into other shapes, struggling desperately to resist.

But facing that terrifying deep aura, the flesh mass soul core’s resistance was almost useless. The soul barrier had already been infected by one-tenth...

Outside, Carlos’s face went white!

"Dark mist! The dark mist’s aura!!!"

"How is this possible! The dark mist’s aura is attracted now!"

His soul frantically warned him.

So dark! So deathly! So profound!

Those puddles of mush began gathering. Within moments, they reformed into the original humanoid outline.

"Damn! Dark mist infection has begun!

If the infection completes..."

Carlos’s expression was grim. After dark mist infection completed, the Black Vortex Collector’s initial strength would reach high-tier...

High-tier... hmm...

Twenty-five shield guards connected by soul, all bonds activated, each one’s strength had now reached the high-tier threshold.

Twenty-five against one... Carlos suddenly chilled out.
