The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 20 - Level 3! Undead Mage!
Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Level 3! Undead Mage!
1 hour ago, the northern territory at the foot of the mountain
"Zhan Er, what do you think? It seems that there are more and more of these abnormal monsters."
Zhan Yi shoved the tail of her hoe forward, knocking down a skeleton waving a bone knife, her hoe didn't stop, but after swinging around, it precisely landed on the skeleton's head.
Only when the skull was completely smashed did this skeleton stop swinging its bone knife and stop acting, becoming a real skeleton.
Beside her, Zhan Er had just pulled her Rune Sword from an Animated Corpse, asking tentatively:
"It looks like the source is in the north, shall we go check it out?"
"I think we should, it's too close to master's territory here, and it's better to clean up all these abnormal monsters."
Finding that her companion thought the same, they both led the Beetle behind them toward the increasingly towering mountains in the north.
As they had expected, the farther north they went, the more Skeletons and Animated Corpses they encountered.
The levels shown above these Undead Creatures' heads were also getting higher.
Initially, they were less than level 10, which were easily killable.
But as they ventured deeper, the duo even encountered a robust Skeleton of level 23, which was larger in size than both of them.
It was only successfully handled by using the Insect Swarm behind them.
Just as they thought this was the end, a harsh and raspy laugh suddenly rang out.
"Hehehe..."
The surrounding bushes shook, and almost instantly, countless Skeletons and Animated Corpses appeared, surrounding them and the Insect Swarm completely.
Directly in front of them, a figure in a black robe, exuding dense Death Energy, emerged from behind a tree, holding a bone staff, with a flaming blue flame at the top of its skull.
"I was wondering who it was, someone who could kill so many of my darlings along the way.
This fresh and vigorous blood, truly delicious...
I didn't expect to accidentally stumble upon an ancient relic that has fallen here and meet such good prospects."
"Who are you?"
Zhan Yi and Zhan Er held their weapons, looking around vigilantly, guarding against possible sneak attacks.
"Hehehe, look, I even forgot to introduce myself, you can call me Karis, a Suffering Doctor who worships [Eternal Life], an Undead Mage.
What do you think? Interested in acknowledging me as your master?
Become my servants, and I can grant you eternal life!"
Karis's voice carried an indisputable tone, yet was full of allure.
Unfortunately, this was of no use to Zhan Yi and Zhan Er.
They only saw the "???" above his head turn into "Karis lv.34".
Since the health bar was revealed, what else was there to talk about?
Although neither of them had heard this phrase, it didn't affect their decision to attack Karis.
Zhan Yi and Zhan Er exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously, they and the Insect Swarm behind them charged together.

Each Beetle turned into a bombshell, charging at Karis together with Zhan Yi and Zhan Er.
Karis had not expected that despite showing such power, they would not surrender quietly or try to break out directly.
How could these two women, sturdier than men, still dare to charge at him?
But Karis had to admit, he panicked for a moment.
Though he had reached the third tier, his physical body wasn't strong, and all his combat power was in his Undead Creatures.
Even though he ordered the nearby Skeleton Warriors for protection in time, he was still hit by a Beetle, causing a sharp pain in his chest.
However, his third-tier strength was not just for show.
With a wave of his Bone Staff, the Soul Flames in all Skeletons' minds suddenly flared up.
Zhan Yi, who had initially held her ground, suddenly felt the force in her hand increase dramatically, almost overwhelming her.
She was after all a white soldier type, and even with stronger attributes due to mutations, she couldn't handle a one-on-one fight against a second-tier Skeleton.
Zhan Er wasn't much better off either; even though her weapon was more powerful, her opponent crushed her in attributes.
The Insect Swarm that had managed to stand their ground before, under the frenzied Undead Creatures' attack, couldn't hold on much longer, and continuously got cut down by Bone Knives.
The situation changed in an instant.
Blocking an attack from an ordinary Skeleton, Zhan Er countered with a slash cutting open the Skeleton's skull, she then turned her head yelling towards Zhan Yi not far away:
"Zhan Yi, we must break out! We must inform the master about the situation here!"
"Okay!"
Karis, seeing the two trying to flee, hurriedly waved the Bone Staff and shouted:
"Stop them! How dare they hurt me!
I will definitely incorporate you into the ritual!"
Zhan Yi didn't care about Karis's impotent rage behind her and sprinted down the mountain in the direction they had come from, constantly swinging the hoe in her hand to fend off the ordinary skeleton soldiers blocking the way.
However, this unorganized defense couldn't possibly stop all attacks as the Bone Knife continuously left marks on her body.
The intense pain stimulated her nerves, almost numbing her brain.
Not until a certain moment, when it seemed they had crossed a certain boundary, did the Undead Creatures blocking them finally vanish.
Looking back, she saw the skeletons clawing through the air, seemingly held back by something, unable to advance an inch.
"Finally... we've escaped..."
Zhan Yi leaned on the hoe, breathing heavily, feeling intense pain all over her body.
Zhan Er wasn't in a much better state, also covered in wounds. The Rune Sword had flown from her hand and now leaned against a tree, looking as if it might give in at any moment, entering eternal slumber.
"We... need to go back...
Our mission... isn't accomplished yet..."
Zhan Yi struggled up to Zhan Er, propped up the semi-conscious Zhan Er on her shoulders, and limped toward the territory.
......
Bai Yi didn't speak, just silently listened to the two's experiences, a surge of anger igniting in her heart.
The thought that someone tried to take her people and ended up injuring them to this extent!
If the wounds were a few more, a bit deeper, it might have been that they couldn't sustain until she fused genes!
Even the possibility of returning to the territory was debatable.
Although Bai Yi didn't want to provoke trouble, solely focusing on getting by, she wouldn't just take things lying down either!
But the strength of the opponent forced Bai Yi to calm down and ponder silently.
"Level 3..."
Even though, with the swarm of bees, Bai Yi considered herself not afraid of ordinary Level 2s.
Even facing a Big Cat in its peak condition, with sufficient preparation, Bai Yi believed she could have a chance.
But Level 3...
Even if it were the relatively weaker Level 3 from a game, Bai Yi had no confidence.
But if she ignored him and let the seven-day limit pass letting him vanish on his own, Bai Yi couldn't swallow the insult.
To kill this Level 3 Undead Mage, she needed more power!
The gene entries she had stockpiled these two days were not just for show!
Just give her a little time, transform all these gene entries into strength, even against Level 3, so what?
Magic power recovery is not something hastily done, Bai Yi left the remaining fresh tree fruits for the two, advising them not to be miserly and to recover quickly.
Initially, the two were somewhat reluctant, but after Bai Yi promised to take them back for vengeance once they recovered quickly, they brightened up and no longer hesitated to consume what seemed very precious fruits.
After leaving the tree hollow, Bai Yi returned to her usual lazy posture.
Since everything couldn't be rushed anyway, while waiting for the magic power to recover, Bai Yi began to carefully recall all the information that Zhan Yi had provided.
Because she was angry earlier, she hadn't thought it through, but now, upon careful consideration, Bai Yi found many questions.
Undead Mage, she could understand, as she had already encountered many ostensibly magical creatures before, so the occurrence of Undead Mage was not impossible.
But "Faith in[Longevity]". So, is [Longevity] a God?
Is there really a God in this world?
Why does it feel like the components are getting more complex?
And [Suffering Doctor], is that a profession?
Or the self-proclaimed title of the followers of this God named [Longevity]?
But guessing here meaninglessly was of no help; after thinking it through, Bai Yi decided to seek help from others.
With a try-it-out attitude, Bai Yi opened a private chat with Landon I.
Fan Mao: "Is Landon there? Have you heard of [Longevity]?"
Landon I: "I've heard of it."
Fan Mao: "?!!!!"
......
Undead Spell: It's said that the earliest Undead Spells originated from a [Suffering Doctor] who tried to resurrect his own daughter, but the power of [Longevity] alone wasn't enough to bring about this miracle, and he failed without surprise. What returned was not his daughter, but a mad Animated Corpse...
