Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 300: Deadly Ambush

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, had brought a number of elites with him this time round, including a number of Warriors in red cloaks, who were about to level up to Sage Level. Unexpectedly, even before the mission to retrieve the Divine Weapons was complete, many of his men were already dead or injured. Even the remaining two Warriors in red cloaks were infected with Zombie Poisoning.

“His Lordship, if you can save these two brothers of mine, you can always count on the Bellimore Family if the Magical Beasts Realm run into any trouble. Just say the word!”

Looking the two clansmen whose lives were hanging by a thread, the Warrior with the golden cloak, Casia, felt pangs of ache in his heart, and he looked depressed. This was his first time leading a team, but little did he know, half of his forces were dead or injured before they had even touched the Divine Weapons. If even the last two brothers who were going to level up soon also met with misfortune, even if the Elder did not punish him when he went back, he would not be able to forgive himself in his heart.

Just as Yang Ling had said, the Zombie Poison would not only rot the corpse, but also eat away at the soul. An ordinary person would not be able to treat the infection. Even the Church could only kill their own people who had been infected by the Zombie Poison, in the name of purification, much less Casia and his men, who were even more helpless. They could only get the two Warriors in the red cloaks to use the Physical Defense Energy to protect important organs like the heart and brain, so as to hang on for two more days.

“The situation is very serious, I’ll give it my best shot!”

Seeing that Casia used his family name to make a vow, Yang Ling did not hesitate any longer, going to sit cross-legged between the two Warriors in red cloaks, and giving each one of them a bottle of lake water from the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. “Lord Casia, this is our family’s secret holy water. It can treat many types of poisons!”

Actually, after getting infected by the Zombie Poison, he only needed to infuse large amounts of Life Force to purge the poison. But in order to prove the lie about him purging the poison from the prisoners-of-war to the Church, and to get more benefits from the Bellimore Family, he purposely exaggerated the difficulty of purging the poison.

“Yes, it was after I drank this holy water that clouds of dark clouds of Zombie Poison were purged from my body!”

“It really was lucky for us to have met His Lordship!”

...

Sure enough, seeing Yang Ling placing his hands on the two Warriors in red cloaks, and forcing out clouds of dark gas, the prisoners-of-war, whose minds were muddled by his Soul Tampering Technique, exclaimed. Even the female spellcaster, Angel, whose mind was intact, nodded her head.

Even if the Physical Defense Energy was used to protect the important organs, but even after only a few hours, the two Warriors in red cloaks did not have a single part of their bodies which was in good condition, with rotting flesh and water retention everywhere, and bodies full of dark gas. But, after getting the green Life Force that Yang Ling infused, the Zombie Poison gradually got purged and their color improved.

The more widespread the Zombie Poison, the more the Life Force needed to purge it. Even though he had a large amount of Life Force in his body, Yang Ling still felt the strain as he had to treat two people at the same time. It took him almost half an hour to completely purge the Zombie Poison inside the two Warrior’s bodies.

Ah...

After groaning, the two Warriors whose lives were hanging by a thread, opened their eyes and struggled to sit up, loudly thanking Yang Ling who was sitting cross-legged on the floor. Even though they were still in a bit of a daze, they understood that it was Yang Ling who saved their lives.

“Tsk tsk, amazing, he surely did purge the Zombie Poison. What is that holy water?”

“As long as we have His Lordship, we need not fear getting infected by the Zombie Poison any longer. I wonder how much is a bottle of the holy water? Can we buy it?”

...

Seeing the two Warriors of the Bellimore Family recover so quickly, the people were very excited and talked among themselves, hoping to buy a few bottles of the so-called holy water from Yang Ling. After all, the Corpse Wizard King was very powerful and the Zombie Poison was terrifying. Nobody wanted their only option to be waiting for death, after getting infected by the Zombie Poison.

While Bellimore Family’s Warriors got very emotional and loudly thanked Yang Ling for his help, the Church was silent, with nothing more to say.

“Yang Ling, how much of the holy water do you have left?”

“That’s right, His Lordship, sell us a few bottles for us to carry around as a precaution. Just name your price!”

...

After witnessing the value of the holy water, leaders like Elder Klive and Casia went looking for Yang Ling, hoping to buy as many as possible as a precaution.

Just name a price?

Looking at the leaders like Elder Klive and Casia, who were crowding around him and fighting to be the first, Yang Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head. The so-called holy water was an excuse made up by him. Even though it contained a certain amount of Life Force, it definitely would not be enough to achieve the effect of purging the Zombie Poison.

Refuse, or..., might as well take this chance to make a lot of money?

After a moment of silence, and seeing that Elder Klive and Casia was adamant on buying the holy water from him, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. By itself, the lake water might not have much of an effect, but if he added a bit of Life Force into the water, he believed that even if it would not be completely effective, it would at least have some effect. By doing so, he would be able to make money, and at the same time, do others a favor. Why not?

“Wait a while, let me check how many bottles I still have inside my bag. But let me make this clear; apart from drinking the holy water, you will still need to complement it with the spell that has been passed down from my family, for greater effect. Don’t come looking for me if drinking the holy water by itself does not help!”

After the disclaimer, Yang Ling strode into a secret chamber not far away. After banging around for a while, he came out with a bag of so-called holy water. There were 20 bottles, not too few or many. The rarer an item, the more expensive it would be, so it would not be good to have many bottles. At ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins per bottle, it was quickly snapped up by the Bellimore Famly and Dark Association.

Since the holy water was so precious, the Church, looking on from the side, was reluctant to let it go, and was greatly tempted. Alas, no matter how shameless he was, Big Beard was unable to put aside his pride to look for Yang Ling, not to mention the rest of them.

Tsk tsk, if he ever ran out of money one day, maybe he could sell more bottles of the so-called holy water?

After giving the Purple Crystal Coins he had on hand to Elder Fox by his side, and instructing him to quickly rebuild the citizens’ homes, Yang Ling sat down cross-legged, swallowed few handfuls of Magical Beast Blood Orbs to replenish the Life Force he exhausted.

Dong...

While concentrating on his quiet meditation, he suddenly felt that something was not right. The air was filled with silvers of hidden energy pulses, bringing with it a hint of murderous feeling. It felt like he was being by a venomous snake from a distance, or as if he had met a highly skilled assasin!

Could it be, that it was the Corpse Wizard King, who was in hiding?

After carefully feeling and observing the hidden energy pulses, Yang Ling got a sense of familiarity, as if he had felt it before. Just as he unconsciously stood up, a few bone arrows flew over like lightning. Thereafter, from the ground near where the Church’s forces were, appeared skeletons and zombies killing more than a dozen Church knights and spellcasters in a blink of an eye.

“Quick, an ambush! Evacuate the citizens and close the city gates, hurry!” After side-stepping a sharp bone arrow that whizzed by, Yang Ling gravely commanded, while commanding the Magical Beast Army to surround the many Undead.

What was the Corpse Wizard King targeting, and where exactly was he hiding?

Raising his head to look around him and not seeing a trace of the Corpse Wizard King,

If the Corpse Wizard King dared to lead the Undead Army to attack Black Water City, it meant that his power had already recovered to a shocking level. From another perspective, this also explained why even after the various powerful factions joined forces, they could not do anything about him.

At first, he had thought that after he gave the Corpse Wizard King a fatal blow in the Underground City, even if the creature did not die in the hands of the various powerful factions, he would also stay far away from the Magical Beasts Realm. He did not expect this fellow to hang around his realm and refuse to leave.

Could it be that this creature knew that he was the one who attacked him that day, so he purposely hung around his realm, looking for revenge?

Raising his sharp Blood Elf Dagger, and seeing more and more zombies and skeletons, Yang Ling had a sudden thought, a terrible idea. Just as he was getting ready to use the ‘All Seeing’ Wizard Spell to find the Corpse Wizard King in hiding, suddenly, a bunch of Dead Soul Knights on Bone Horses charged rapidly towards him, with a few Bone Dragons following behind.

Howl...

Looking at the ferociously charging Dead Soul Knights and Bone Dragons, the Dark Dragon King, uncaring of the ordinary Undead like the zombies and skeletons, charged towards them like lightning, with a loud roar. With a swipe of its strong tail, the few Dead Soul Knights leading the charge who were hit immediately flew far away. The Dark Dragon King then opened its mouth wide and breathed Dragon Breath, instantly vaporizing the zombies and skeletons which, not knowing the pain of death, had surged towards it.

Pant, pant, pant...

After using the Group Mirroring Spell to copy large numbers of high level Magical Beasts such as the Chimeras and Twin-legged Dragons, and directing them to ferociously attack the Undead Army, the Thousand-faced Mink jumped onto Yang Ling’s shoulder, panting and taking exaggerated deep breaths, cheekily shaking its little butt.

Looking at the little fellow making weird chittering noises in his ear, Yang Ling shook his head, and fed it an Essence Crystal of a Wind Wolf. He then immediately started chanting the mantra to use the All Seeing Wizard Spell, preparing to look for the whereabouts of the Corpses Wizard King.

After his Mental Energy and Wizard Power greatly increased from absorbing the milky-white energy within Angel’s body, he also mastered many more Wizard Spells. One of them was the All Seeing Wizard Spell, which was anti-invisibility. After casting the spell, one could see anything within a radius of a few hundred steps. With the increase in Mental Energy and Wizard Power, the area of coverage of the spell would also increase.

According to Stele, if he managed to level up to the level of Wizard Deity, he would be able instantly look at all that was happening on the plane, like a deity, powerful beyond compare.

Hmph, so he was hiding underground! He’s looking for death!

As a faint silver glow spread outwards, Yang Ling quickly discovered the unmoving Corpse Wizard King, hiding underground. With a cold snort, Yang Ling commanded the Dark Dragon King to make a straight dive downwards from high above in the sky, to crash into the ground and make a big hole, in an attempt to jolt the Corpse Wizard King, who was hiding in ambush, out of hiding.

“Kekeke, fresh blood and souls, come!” Dodging the Dragon King’s attack, the Corpse Wizard King laughed wildly and charged into the Church Army with a ‘whoosh’, clawing out a female spellcaster’s heart with one strike. In comparison, he preferred eating the fresh blood and souls of Church knights and spellcasters.

“Eh, a Divine Spell User, I actually bumped into a Divine Spell User, kekeke!”

Maybe his power had greatly increased, but as the dark gas outside of the Corpse Wizard King’s body moved violently up and down, all the Church knights and spellcasters who could not avoid it in time instantly lost their minds, and became zombies. All except the self-proclaimed future Holy Maiden, Angel, who blocked the terrifying poison with a ring of milky-white light shielding her. This quickly drew the attention of the Corpse Wizard King.

To swallow the fresh blood and soul of a Divine Spell User is better than swallowing the fresh blood and souls of hundreds of people!In his great joy, the Corpse Wizard King gave out a weird cry, dodged the White-robed Cardinal Bishop’s Break Through Space and Time, picked up the terrified Angel, and rapidly went far away.

He had originally intended to ambush this Yang Ling fellow, his greatest threat, and eat everyone’s fresh blood and souls in the chaos. After being found out by Yang Ling, he was already prepared to beat a rapid retreat and find another chance to ambush him. He never did expect to see a Divine Spell User of the Church just before he left!
