Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Undead Monsters and Demonic Creatures Move Out, Soul Skills
With Johnnie joining the fray, they easily held off the Beast Wave.
Soon, the second wave of the Beast attack was completely wiped out.
Everyone got a brief moment to rest.
"Hurry up, clean up the battlefield and rebuild the defenses!" Dylan gave the order immediately, and the soldiers sprang into action.
By now, night had fallen, and the direction of the mountains and forest was shrouded in darkness, making the atmosphere heavy and stifling.
"Johnnie." Dylan looked at the Nether Blood Wolf that Johnnie was still attacking relentlessly, his expression grave as he asked, "This was only the second Beast Wave. There are at least two more to come. Can we hold them off?"
"We should be fine." Johnnie wasn’t completely sure. What worried him wasn’t the Beast Wave, but the gods.
Building a country meant huge consequences. There was no way the gods would allow new nations to rise on Universe Continent—they would definitely intervene.
He had Maiev and the other two as his subordinates. As long as the enemy didn’t send more than three gods, he was confident he could handle it.
Growls and howls suddenly echoed from the direction of the Northern Wall and the dark forest.
It was the Undead monster army from the Haldrem Empire!
Johnnie frowned. He hadn’t expected Haldrem Empire to make a move so quickly.
It looked like the third Beast Wave would be these Undead monsters.
"Johnnie, the Demonic Creatures have shown up too." At that moment, the Azure Dragon appeared, standing atop the city wall and gazing into the distance as he spoke calmly.
Johnnie wasn’t surprised. He had already guessed that both the Haldrem Empire and the Heaven-Devil Empire would get involved.
"Senior, are there any gods?" He was still worried about gods appearing—even if it was just an avatar, it would be no easy task to deal with.
Azure Dragon carefully sensed the surroundings, then shook his head. "So far, I haven’t detected any."
Johnnie let out a sigh of relief. It seemed this was just the third Beast Wave, but he still didn’t dare let his guard down.
He said, "Senior, I might need you all to fight this time. I’ve received news that the Mechanical Race has also sent out an army of several hundred thousand, and their target is our Chinese City."
"The Mechanical Race? The same Mechanical Race that just founded the Mecha Divine Nation?" Dylan asked in surprise.
He had seen the system announcement earlier; three nations were founded at the same time, which was obviously intentional.
Johnnie nodded and looked at Azure Dragon, asking, "Senior, do you know much about the Mechanical Race?"
Azure Dragon looked slightly serious. "All I know is that the Mechanical Race, like the Demon Race, are not native to Universe Continent. And the powers they wield are strange and unpredictable. If they get involved, it could be very tricky."
"They’re not a Universe Continent race?" Johnnie was surprised.
"Right." Azure Dragon nodded again and continued, "It’s said they are wanderers from beyond this world, who accidentally arrived on Universe Continent. They’re mysterious, bizarre, and rarely make a move. But when they do, it always results in disaster."
Wanderers from beyond this world?
That was a term Johnnie had never heard before.
"Senior, has the Mechanical Race ever made a move before?" he asked, curious.
A hint of wariness flashed in Azure Dragon’s eyes. He said, "They did once. Countless god and demon powerhouses fell that time—truly perished. But I don’t know what the conflict was about. Back then, the four Sacred Beasts were already badly wounded and sealed."
Gods and demons fell?
Johnnie thought of that mysterious space inside the Shadow Abyss.
It was filled with the corpses of Witch Clan, Demon Clan, and Demonic Creatures powerhouses—all of them gods.
Originally, he had thought it was a result of the Witch Clan, Demon Clan, and Demonic Creatures fighting each other.
But now, it seemed Demonic Creatures didn’t have the strength to oppose both the Witch Clan and Demon Clan. It was more likely the three races were working together to fight some unknown force, leading to their own destruction.
Could it have been the Mechanical Race they were up against?
Johnnie had no way of knowing, and Azure Dragon wasn’t clear on the details either. They hadn’t participated in that battle; instead, they had fallen into a deep sleep and were sealed away.
With so many powerful gods dying, if they had taken part, they probably wouldn’t have survived either.
Boom, boom...
At that moment, the ground trembled slightly, and under the cover of night, a vast army of Demonic Creatures appeared in the distance. The weakest among them were stage 5 and stage 6 Magic Soldiers, while leading them were two stage 9 Demon Emperors.
Thankfully, there were no gods among them.
On the other side, an army of Undead monsters also appeared from the direction of the dark forest.
Johnnie spoke up at once: "Senior, I’ll leave the Demonic Creatures army to you all."
"Don’t worry, they’re no threat to Chinese City!" Azure Dragon replied, his fighting spirit soaring.
Black Tortoise appeared as well and said, "Kid, do you need us to handle the Undead monster army?"
"No need, I can handle them." Johnnie was full of confidence. With a thought, he summoned Maiev too and ordered, "Maiev, give them a hand with the Demonic Creatures army."
"Alright!" Maiev nodded in agreement and immediately summoned the Dark-Moon longbow.
Three gods stood guard over three walls—there was absolutely no problem.
Johnnie felt reassured and immediately made his way to the northern wall to deal with the Undead monster army.
From the dark forest passage, countless Undead monsters surged forward, roaring furiously—all of them stage 6 or higher.
Johnnie felt a rush of excitement and dove straight into the slaughter.
Stage 6 powerhouses meant he could stack the passive of his Cosmic Eclipse Blade.
Plus, the soul-devouring effect of the Void Sword could also be triggered, boosting his Intensity of the Soul.
Right now, what he wanted to kill most were the Undead monsters and Demonic Creatures—both could infinitely increase his stats.
Buzz!
His Sword Intent hummed to life, and with a flourish of the Swordsmanship Technique for Controlling Swords, eight flying swords shot out, moving like extensions of his own arms, cutting through the enemies in a frenzy.
These stage 6 Wraith Soldiers couldn’t survive a single blow from him.
[Killed Wraith Soldier, Intensity of the Soul +1]
[Your level has already reached stage 5, level 10. You can no longer gain experience. Please advance soon.]
...
Prompt messages kept popping up. Although he couldn’t earn more experience, it didn’t hinder his power growth at all.
Wails echoed as Wraith Soldiers died miserably under Johnnie’s blade.
All around him, the ground was already littered with eerie white bones.
Red Carp was busy once more, following him closely to pick up loot and clear the battlefield.
Most Wraith Soldiers dropped stage 6 weapons and equipment, but since players were mostly at stage 4 or 5, there wasn’t much of a market yet.
Once players grew stronger, though, this gear would be worth a fortune.
Johnnie slaughtered relentlessly, steadily increasing his Intensity of the Soul and stacking his Cosmic Eclipse Blade passive.
With the Cosmic Eclipse Blade’s stacks, he was now dealing over seventy million in terrifying damage.
Even a stage 9 legendary powerhouse would fall easily before him.
And with so many Wraith Soldiers here, his Cosmic Eclipse Blade’s passive would keep stacking—his damage could easily double.
[Ding, you have accumulated 10,000 Intensity of the Soul. Converted into 100 points of Spiritual attribute.]
...
Prompt messages kept coming, and Johnnie’s Intensity of the Soul skyrocketed.
He guessed his Intensity of the Soul had at least reached a million by now.
But aside from raising soul defense, he wasn’t sure what else the Intensity of the Soul could do.
Still, he was certain that its true function was far more than just bolstering soul defense.
[Killed stage 8 epic Undead Warlord, Intensity of the Soul +1]
He cut down a powerful Undead Warlord.
"A skill book?" Johnnie was a bit surprised. Skill books were even rarer than weapons and equipment.
He used the Five Elements Technique to clear out the surrounding Wraith Soldiers, then checked the drop with curiosity.
[Sword of Souls: A soul skill. Condense a long sword from Soul Power to attack the enemy’s soul. Can be learned when Intensity of the Soul reaches 100,000.]
"A soul skill!" Johnnie was thrilled—he remembered Pluto had used this move against him once.
Destroying the soul could kill an enemy instantly—though it was useless against gods.
His Intensity of the Soul had long surpassed 100,000, so he could learn it right away.
"Learn!" Johnnie chose to learn it without hesitation.
[Ding, you have mastered the Sword of Souls.]
[Note: Targets erased by the Sword of Souls cannot be resurrected. Please use with caution.]
Johnnie read the notification and realized his guess had been right; this Sword of Souls could completely annihilate a player.
He wouldn’t use it on players lightly, but these Undead monsters would make for good test subjects.
Johnnie fixed his gaze on a stage 7 Undead monster commander. With a thought, his Soul Power gathered and formed a small, sharp soul-forged flying sword.
Buzz!
He willed the sword forward, and it shot out in a flash, striking the Undead monster commander instantly.
Crash!
The soul fire in the monster’s eye sockets flickered and faded, and it collapsed to the ground without a single wound on its body.
But Johnnie could feel it—this creature had been utterly erased.
On Universe Continent, most creatures could respawn, except for certain special bosses.
But with its soul erased, this one would never come back.
"So powerful!" Johnnie thought, secretly shocked, and gained a much clearer understanding of this soul attack.
He could tell that, with his current Intensity of the Soul, he could easily erase a stage 8 elite monster boss.
And as his Intensity of the Soul increased, the Sword of Souls would only grow stronger.
"Let’s keep going!"
Johnnie stopped experimenting and resumed slaughtering Wraith Soldiers.
Buzz...
A cold flash of light swept through, leaving only piles of dry bones in its wake.
In less than an hour, Johnnie had wiped out more than a hundred thousand Wraith Soldiers.
"Retreat!" Suddenly, a woman’s icy voice rang out from deep within the dark forest.
The Undead monster army received the order and began to retreat in a panic.
"Huh? Lisa!" Johnnie was surprised. He recognized the owner of that voice—it was Pluto Lisa.
But hadn’t he killed this woman? How did she recover so quickly?
"Wait, something’s off—no divine aura!" Johnnie immediately noticed something strange; he couldn’t sense any divine power.
Did Lisa give up her Pluto identity? How is that even possible?
A god’s strength came from their divine soul. As long as that wasn’t destroyed, they couldn’t be killed. But she had actually given up her divinity.
The Undead monster army retreated rapidly, vanishing into the depths of the dark forest like a receding tide.
Johnnie hesitated for a moment, but chose not to pursue. He glanced toward the dark forest, then turned to support the other walls, hunting Demonic Creatures.
Killing Demonic Creatures would also make him stronger.
Roaring filled the air.
There were even more Demonic Creatures this time—over a million—marching in force against three sides of Chinese City.
The soldiers were taking losses, but with Maiev and the other two gods holding the lines, the Demonic army couldn’t move an inch past the city walls.
Johnnie couldn’t be bothered with words; he simply charged into the Demonic Creatures army and started another wild massacre.
