Chapter 1659: Chapter 1104: Divine Fire_3
Next were the steward of Black Stone Town, ’Slyther,’ the Druid girl ’Yuli,’ the second princess ’Natalia,’ and the Corpse Ghost Mechanic ’Costas.’
Everyone held guns, ready for battle.
Finally, there was the queen of the Yeko Kingdom, ’Brittany,’ her belly already somewhat large, accompanied by her little maid.
The group glanced at the corpse on the ground, and Wen Mansha said solemnly, "We cannot stop here, let’s leave now!"
Yuli hurriedly said, "Let’s go to our tribe! No one there believes in the Holy Court!"
"No way." Slyther gave her a stern look, "They must have used tracking special items, going back would only bring trouble to the tribe."
Yuli glanced at Wen Mansha and Brittany, muttering softly, "Aunt, why are we running? Wu Heng doesn’t even have that kind of relationship with us...."
Slyther glared at her, "Don’t talk nonsense! Am I going to harm you?"
Wen Mansha pondered, "Continue northward...."
Before she could finish, the body of the dwarf suddenly began to twitch violently, its flesh wriggling as if alive, bones crackling, and the shattered skull healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
"A hero...he is a hero!" Brittany’s voice trembled.
The dwarf sprang to his feet, with half of his skull not yet fully regrown, he charged towards them, moving so fast that only afterimages remained.
The skeletons guarding their sides immediately moved to block in between.
The dwarf’s shape was forced out of the shadows, several skeletons swarmed him again, and once more brought him down.
Yet, the body began to heal again....
Bang! Bang! Bang~!!
Andre Willow stepped forward, firing several shots at the body, "Can’t kill...what do we do?"
The Corpse Ghost Mechanic Costas suddenly spoke, "Strip him of his equipment and special items! Without his tracking items, it’ll be hard for him to find us."
Wen Mansha immediately ordered.
The skeletons stripped all the dwarf’s equipment and rings, leaving only a rag to cover the crucial area around his waist.
Soon, the dwarf’s injuries healed once more, but before he could make a move, he was forcibly restrained by the Level 20 skeletons.
Wu Heng had assigned two Level 20 skeletons to Brittany, two to Wen Mansha, and the others were all Level 18 and above skeleton attendants.
Although the hero couldn’t be killed, they could still suppress him in attributes.
Wen Mansha turned back and said, "Pack up everything first."
The others quickly retreated to the room.
The dwarf spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, sneering, "Escape? Where can you escape to? Come back with me obediently, and you might still have a chance to live!"
Wen Mansha looked down at him, suddenly smiling, "An esteemed hero, using threats on a group of women, doesn’t it lack chivalry?"
"Enough nonsense! Surrender is your only way out!"
Wen Mansha’s smile cooled, "Take off his two arms."
The flash of a sword, and the arms fell to the ground!
The dwarf let out a miserable scream, veins bulging on his forehead.
Wen Mansha continued smiling, but her gaze was icy, "Honorable hero, I may lack your talent, but when it comes to ruthlessness...I might not lose."
"You’re courting death!"
"I’m going to ask you a few questions; answer well, and we’ll let you go. If not...," she paused, "we’ll be chopping your head and arms off along the way."
The dwarf’s eyes flickered, "...What do you want to ask?"
"What’s going on at Gold and Silver Island now?"
"It’s already become territory of the Holy Court," the dwarf answered.
It sounded like he had no intention of hiding the truth.
Slyther quickly asked, "Any news of Wu Heng and the others?"
"No."
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Mansha continued to ask, "What exactly happened?"
The dwarf paused in silence before finally saying hoarsely, "The god of the Holy Court...descended."
As soon as he said it, the dwarf grew serious, and a chill ran down everyone else’s spine.
So that’s it!
Gold and Silver Island and Wu Heng had developed to such heights, how could something suddenly go wrong?
It turns out the divine spirits descended to deal with Wu Heng.
Just then, Slyther suddenly realized, "You...you’re the former association leader! How could you...?"
She stopped as she spoke, realizing the association had already submitted to the Holy Court, the answer was obvious.
Andre Willow and the others hurried back, "All prepared."
Wen Mansha nodded, "Slyther, it’s up to you."
Slyther took a deep breath, looking at the dwarf, "Leader, you understand this is between us and the Holy Court, we can’t kill you, but we ask that once you revive...slowly pursue us, and if Wu Heng is ultimately victorious, I won’t forget your mercy today."
With that, she waved her hand.
Bang!
The skeleton thoroughly smashed his head and torso.
"Bury all the bodies on the spot," Slyther ordered.
The skeletons quickly dragged the remains into the pit and filled it in.
The group tore open their tickets and boarded the Phantom Train that appeared, speeding away.
Soon after, the dirt over the burial spot churned, and the dwarf’s figure crawled out once more.
He looked gloomily in the direction the train had disappeared, shadows curling around him as he quietly faded from the spot.
...
Zombie World.
Wu Heng sat cross-legged in the forest, energy circulating around him as if resonating with the ground beneath him and the sky above.
[Unlocked Trait: Divine Fire]
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded.
Wu Heng’s eyes shot open, and he opened the panel to check his faith value.
[Faith: 50000/50000.]
His faith was sufficient.
[Divine Fire]: Using the body, abilities, and emotions as fuel, ignite with ultimate belief to ascend to the Divine Domain.
It’s done.
