Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 238: Appearance of the Dark Abyss, the Great Battle Begins

Chapter 238 - 238: Appearance of the Dark Abyss, the Great Battle Begins

Lu Jun's lips curled into a smile. With a wave of his hand, he stuffed Zu Jiming into the Curse Well.

In the hands of a high-level Curse Mage, control over magic skyrockets. They can manipulate even the blood and body hair of their enemies into countless tricks, let alone a complete corpse.

The bloodline of the Ancient King's descendant could resist the corrosion of remnant souls.

Conversely, Lu Jun could also use it to suppress the Ancient King's armor robe this became the fourth sealing method he obtained.

Ding Yumian's Calamity-Bearer main soul Imprint, the White Tiger Pendant, the Sanctification of the Light Element Half-Calamity-Bearer, Zu Jiming's blood...

With so many weakening methods in hand, if he still failed to suppress an artifact, it would be the biggest joke in the world.

Hadn't Fang Gu fought bare-chested and nearly reversed the situation? Lu Jun had planned everything out he had a ten out of ten chance of success.

At that moment, a Guardian Mage walked over and said to everyone, "President Han requests your presence."

Lu Jun readily agreed. As he was heading toward the outer city, he suddenly felt the ground shaking.

Rumble—!

A deafening roar came from beneath the gloomy sky in the north!

Everyone felt a pain in their eardrums, as if an enormous shockwave was crashing toward the city with a magnitude that blanketed the horizon.

Immediately, Lu Jun looked into the distance and saw a towering, black-shadowed figure standing upright. A monstrous aura of fiendish and deathly energy surged into the heavens, with black mist blotting out the sun.

Even at such a distance, the visual impact of its terrifying body could still be felt!

A Monarch creature Ghostbrute Monarch, one of the Eight Undead Lords. Though it was only a Small Monarch in strength, it seemed two to three tiers stronger than the Flame Witch who was a Lesser-Monarch.

In addition, next to this majestic ghostly figure, waves of space-distorting energy swept outward in chaos.

In the ten-thousand-mile night sky, a sudden hole tore open. It stood out starkly, like a missing chunk from the sky itself. On the desolate ground, a black pit collapsed inward, filled with heaps of bloody corpses.

No one knew how deep the Dark Abyss truly went. It was like an entrance to hell slowly opening or like the exposed esophagus of some gigantic, horrifying creature!

Ghost wails, corpse howls, bone cries!

The most terrifying and soul-chilling ghostly sounds in this world came from that suddenly appearing Dark Abyss.

It was the pitiful screams of countless terrifying ghosts all crying out at once—true wails from hell—filled with despair, resentment, and unfathomable agony!!!

The Dark Abyss had emerged!

Lu Jun's expression grew grim. After killing Mu He, he had searched the body. Several magic tools were burned, but the Nether Soul Stone was nowhere to be found. It had probably already been used.

He quickened his pace. The group arrived at the location.

Upon the outer city walls, at some point, all the high-ranking figures of the ancient capital had gathered.

At the forefront, Han Ji stood with hands behind his back. He turned to the approaching group and sighed, "You've come."

He spoke flatly, "As you can see, the Black Vatican's Dark Abyss Guidance Array is continuously operating. It won't be long before it reaches the ancient capital and swallows everything."

"And to stop it, we must venture deep into the Dark Abyss and interrupt the Ancient King's resurrection process."

"But..." Han Ji's tone grew heavy, "Only the descendants of the Ancient King, and those who have bathed in Kun Well Water or the Holy Earth Spring, are qualified to enter."

"None of us Super Mages meet these conditions. We can only rely on you."

At his words, Su Xiaoluo, Fang Gu, Zhang Xiaohou, and Mo Fan were slightly stunned.

They all met the criteria. The first two went without saying. The latter two were both part of the Bo City bloodline, born and raised locals.

This was something Lu Jun had informed them of beforehand. The Holy Earth Spring and Kun Well Water were of the same origin except the Holy Earth Spring was countless times more potent.

Mo Fan felt immense pressure. The hope of an entire city rested on him, yet he did not waver.

Zhang Xiaohou also wore a resolute expression and said, "As a soldier, it is my duty to protect the people. I will not fail their expectations."

Su Xiaoluo and Fang Gu hesitated for a moment. The latter suddenly realized this was an opportunity and said, "I can die, but I want Xie Sang of Huacun dead!"

He had always harbored deep hatred for Xie Sang.

Hearing this, Han Ji decisively said, "Approved!"

Xie Sang had prevented the residents of Yangyang Village from evacuating, allowing a group of people to die already a crime. On top of that, his son Hong Jun had joined the Black Vatican. A death sentence was perfectly justified.

Han Ji then said to the group, "Although the Forbidden Curse is being prepared, we cannot guarantee it will stop the Dark Abyss. So have you truly made up your minds?"

All four gave a resolute reply in unison, "No problem."

To the side, Lu Jun said regretfully, "I'm from a side branch of the Lu family, not a native of Bo City. It's a pity I can't go with you."

This was a lie. Years ago, he had already laid out this scheme. When Mo Fan was refining the Holy Earth Spring, Lu Jun had secretly siphoned a bit to mask his aura—just enough. (See Chapter 44)

However, regarding the Ancient King's armor robe, Lu Jun did not plan to make a big deal out of it. He wanted to follow Fang Gu's example, sneak in using mental concealment, and keep his trump card hidden.

An old acquaintance, Zhu Meng, looked at Lu Jun, seeing the full extent of his regret. He knew Lu Jun possessed a trump card in the Curse Element able to temporarily summon a Lesser-Monarch creature, no weaker than any Super Mage present.

If he could enter the Dark Abyss, the entire operation would be under full control.

Mo Fan asked, "What do we do now? The Dark Abyss is thirty kilometers away, and the area is covered by an ocean of undead."

"Now?" Han Ji looked into the distance and declared domineeringly, "I'll lead you through! We'll break straight through the Undead Empire!"

Everyone swept their eyes over the Super Mages. Blood surged with excitement.

The ancient capital's leadership moved swiftly. With Han Ji, Zhu Meng, the Hunter King Du Xiao, Lu Xu, Yao Ting, and other Super Mages as the spearhead, they were followed closely by elite High-Order Guardian Mages and top military personnel. A massive formation of hundreds of Mid-Order Mages formed their wings.

For this battle, they had thrown in everything totaling several thousand personnel, each one at least an elite of the Mid-Order level.

The Lu Jun siblings were among them, their position very close to the front just behind the Super Mages.

"Everyone, move out!"

At Han Ji's command, thousands of people marched forth with great momentum onto the city walls. The mages left behind in the city spared no mana, fully covering the advancing force for a stretch.

Boom—Boom—Boom!

Elemental legion formations unleashed colorful magic from the heavens, sweeping for several kilometers, annihilating vast numbers of undead.

The Super Mage group had not yet acted, conserving their strength for the Monarch-level creatures. High-Order Mages occasionally assisted, but the bulk of the advance relied on the Mid-Order mages.

The army pushed forward like a landslide, crossing mountains and rivers. Their speed was swift; in no time, they had advanced several kilometers.

From a high-altitude view, amidst the black ocean of undead, a faint blank trail was steadily moving forward.

At first, they remained connected to the city wall. But once everyone had entered, the undead filled in behind them, severing their route completely cut off and without support. From this moment forward, the real danger began.

Coincidentally, upon seeing this, the Ghostbrute Monarch in the distance dispatched several elite undead units to probe them.

One was a towering, bulky Corpse Hill Unit. Its slow steps made the ground tremble with each stride.

Another was a bizarre and ethereal ghostly unit, floating forward with a sky-shrouding white mist. Within the fog were countless blurry ghost shadows.

The final unit was composed entirely of glaringly white skeletal figures riddled with gaping holes exuding suffocating killing intent.

These undead legions had no members below the Warrior-level.
