Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 540: Seeing Magic Zombies Again

For the next five days, Li Wei led the Guard Legion to remain stationed at Fierzway Fortress, not venturing out at all, because just fighting the Great Frost indoors was already exhausting enough.

Over these past few days, an average of a hundred fire crystals had to be recharged every day.

But on the sixth day, the consumption of fire crystals suddenly doubled, and this also meant that the Great Frost had reached its peak.

Now everyone, including Li Wei, even when remaining completely motionless, had a thin layer of blue frost covering their bodies from head to toe. The cold followed like a shadow. Two built-in fire crystals in their armor could no longer withstand it; they had to be increased to three to feel warmth.

Fortunately, Li Wei still had over 2000 fire crystals in hand. Under the premise of an abundant supply of Three-Star Quality charcoal, with the 70% Magic Immunity bonus, and a supply of four-star food for three meals a day, no one had been frostbitten so far.

Of course, such behavior was truly too extravagant.

Even under these circumstances, the Guard Legion could still conduct combat training three times a day. Sometimes it was 2v2, sometimes 1v3, and at the extreme, they could even run a 4v4.

During this process, Li Wei would rely on his perception to conduct post-battle reviews, finding various loopholes, or based on his past combat experience, simulate different opponents, set different environments and different battle situations, to conduct training.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The five hundred guards had not successfully ground out the title Li Wei wanted for resisting the Great Frost, and even their loyalty level was constantly fixed at 98 points.

It seemed that after consuming a massive amount of resources, there was no return.But in reality, this wasn't the case. Li Wei could clearly sense that he had gained another layer of hazy, deep-level understanding in his mastery of Sequence Two Frost Magic, but it still didn't seem like he was about to break through to Sequence Three Glacial Surge.

He was very puzzled by this.

In addition, everyone had already acquired some very good cold resistance adaptability during the process of fighting against the Great Frost.

This couldn't be reflected in data, but this adaptability absolutely existed.

Finally, the greatest gain was that Adai's upgrade success rate finally appeared. Previously, it hadn't even shown up; upgrading from Five-Star to Six-Star was simply too demanding.

After being fed Azure Frost Crystals for a month, Adai's upgrade success rate had only reached 80%?

This made Li Wei's heart sink involuntarily, making him even more glad that he had brought the Guard Legion out. He didn't know what would happen if the upgrade failed—whether Adai would revert back to normal—but if anything went wrong with Adai, his heart would absolutely ache to the point of being unable to breathe.

"Is it because the quality of those Azure Frost Crystals is still not enough? But Adai eats until full every time. Where is the problem?"

On this day, Li Wei furrowed his brow, currently researching Adai's upgrade, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps crunching in the snow. The location was a bit far, roughly a few kilometers away.

Eh?

Someone was coming?

Although affected by this Great Frost and his perception was suppressed to 20 points, his senses towards the surrounding environment remained highly acute.

"One, two... huge and heavy footsteps. This is truly strange. Could another powerful assassin squad have arrived?"

Thinking this, Li Wei immediately ordered everyone to enter a state of high alert, and then quickly supplemented everyone with a small portion of Four-Star White Bread. With food of this level replenished, they could even fight outside for half an hour.

Outside, the ice mist permeated, the wind howled, and nothing could be seen, but the sound of footsteps crunching the snow continued to arrive, and it was very certain that they were heading in their direction.

And soon, even the other guards could hear these footsteps, because the sound was very heavy, like the vibrations produced by giants walking on the ground, so much so that even inside Fierzway Fortress, they could feel the fortress shivering.

Li Wei pushed aside the stone blocking the entrance at this time, only to see the ice mist outside still permeating, but he could already see two massive silhouettes appearing a thousand meters away.

They were about twenty meters tall. The fortress's Level 3 City Walls were lightly pushed by them and collapsed in a large section. Additionally, wherever they passed, it seemed the surrounding ice mist was absorbed, revealing a large empty area.

There was also the fact that these massive silhouettes looked entirely blue. If Li Wei and the others were currently small blue men, then they were giant blue men.

But what was interesting was that they looked like giants. Their body contours and appearance were no different from humans, just that they were too tall. One of them even wore massive armor, looking very refined, seemingly possessing a civilization of its own.

"Prepare for battle!"

Li Wei shouted a command, taking the lead to rush out of the fortress. Now, this sturdy fortress probably couldn't stop the collisions of these blue giants either.

The five hundred guards also immediately rushed out, everyone on high alert as if facing a great enemy. Twenty-meter tall blue giants—they looked very strong.

Unexpectedly, after Li Wei led the guards rushing out, those two blue giants stopped instead. They stood in the plaza in the center of the fortress, observing with a kind of blue-white eyeball, and could even exchange glances with each other, and even had micro-expressions on their faces. It was truly miraculous.

But what was even more miraculous was that they could actually communicate in rapid syllables.

But Li Wei and the others couldn't understand them, nor did they know why there was no real-time translation.

However, soon, one of the blue giants wearing a massive robe switched to another language. This time Li Wei immediately understood, because this was the language of the Neanderthals. Having dealt with the Neans for so long in the past, he had long learned it.

"Sapiens slaves, put away your weapons. Your master has returned. I am the Chief Apprentice to the Magistrate of Magic of the Skyline Province of the Orson Empire. I now order you to bring out your food, offer up your faith, heed my commands, and build my official residence!"

What the fcking fck Sapiens slaves? And the Orson Empire, hadn't this empire already perished?

Li Wei felt it was very absurd, but still attempted to ask in the Neanderthal language, "Honorable Lord, I don't quite understand. Could you tell us the specific situation?"

"What do you want to know? Sapiens slaves? Put away your weapons, your master is here. I am the Chief Apprentice to the Magistrate of Magic of the Skyline Province of the Orson Empire. I now order you to bring out your food, offer up your faith, heed my commands, and build my official residence!"

That blue giant already looked a bit irritable, but the words it spoke were strange, giving a sense of déjà vu.

Li Wei's heart stirred, but he still said loudly in the Neanderthal language, "Honorable Lord, could you tell us how to build the official residence? How much food do you need? We only have the food of slaves. Additionally, Honorable Lord, where did you come from?"

"Sapiens slaves, we are going to build a massive official residence. The glory of the Empire must be passed down. The official residence must... Listen! I am the Chief Apprentice to the Magistrate of Magic of the Skyline Province of the Orson Empire. I now order you to bring out your food, offer up your faith, heed my commands, and build my official residence!"

That blue giant repeated a specious paragraph of words again.

This time, Li Wei was basically certain. Yes, he felt these two blue giants of the Orson Empire were very likely infected with the Blood Plague and had turned into Magic Zombies. What level of Blood Plague they had was unknown. As for why they survived until now, why they appeared during the Great Frost, where they were hiding before, and whether this Great Frost had anything to do with their awakening, it was impossible to determine.

"Honorable Lord, please rest first. We will prepare food and build the official residence for you right away!"

Li Wei continued to probe. Among Magic Zombies, there were also those who could maintain their sanity and basic logic, just like the former Flame Duke, Frost Duke, and even Hunt, Bai Yin, Shelt, Lu Dajiao, and Kyle—they were all once Magic Zombies.

"Sapiens slaves, food—offer up your women!"

At this time, that blue giant suddenly pointed a hand at the Guard Legion behind Li Wei, among which there were also dozens of female guards.

Good heavens, this is the food you want?

You're playing me.

Li Wei glanced back, shouting 'As you command, my Lord' aloud, but in the next second, he directly transformed into a Level 7 Great Bear, and with a single charge, pounced on this so-called Chief Apprentice and tackled him to the ground!

Hmm, you're big, but I'm not small either.

If the Level 7 Great Bear stood up on its hind legs, it was nearly thirty meters tall. Its body was like a small mountain, with a deadweight of nearly two hundred tons. Most importantly, the greatest advantage of the Druid's Great Bear transformation was strength. A Level 7 Great Bear could increase its strength by 70 points on top of its normal base, totaling 150 points of strength.

If it entered a brief Berserk state, this strength could be doubled again within ten seconds, reaching 300 points of strength.

That blue giant was quite large, but under Li Wei's unexpected charging pounce, it couldn't withstand it at all and was directly smashed heavily onto the ground.

At the same time, Li Wei also basically confirmed the opponent's rough status. Its weight was between one hundred and one hundred fifty tons, and its strength was around 150 to 200 points, but its flexibility was slightly lacking. Additionally, this guy's entire body was covered in blue frost, indicating an extremely high level.

While Li Wei's Level 7 Great Bear transformation pounced and tackled the opponent, his body also suffered terrifying Frostburns, hurting so much he almost couldn't maintain the Great Bear transformation.

But even so, he still bit through the opponent's throat in the first instance, then slapped the opponent's head into blue crushed ice with a single swipe, and subsequently ripped open its chest with a claw, completely dismembering it.

This was almost the extreme of what Li Wei could achieve. He had to severely injure or kill this magic-wielding blue giant in the shortest amount of time.

Because almost in the next second, the Great-Axe in the hands of the other blue giant had already chopped down in a single strike, directly splitting Li Wei's transformed Great Bear into two halves from head to tail. At the same time, this blue Great-Axe seemed to contain some kind of terrifying energy, killing him without any suspense!

There was no other way, this was the price. After transforming into a Great Bear, it was already too late for him to dodge, nor did he want to dodge. A giant knowing martial arts was already a very terrifying thing. If a giant also knew magic, how could this battle be fought?

However, almost at the instant Li Wei was killed, that Tier-2 Necromancer Tower operated by Tucker in Liwei Keep also instantly flashed with light, transforming Li Wei's inevitable result of being slain into a Near-Death state.

Then simultaneously, Li Wei consumed a Life Particle and resurrected on the spot with full health.

This was his trump card.
