Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Seeing the black flames so close yet feeling no heat, Lucian's pupils constricted, and he decisively threw away his black cloak once again.

His black cloak had only just been repaired from the last time it was damaged by Alex's scythe, costing him a great deal of resources.

The black cloak instantly floated up, positioning itself in front of him. Without hesitation, Lucian turned into an afterimage and retreated.

Rip—

The black cloak was sliced directly down the middle by Alex's scythe, nearly splitting it in two. The black cloak seemed to lose its spirit, falling straight to the ground.

Because Alex couldn't fly, her body also began to fall. She teleported in an instant to adjust her position and landed steadily on the snowy ground.

The black cloak, burning with black flames, was retrieved by Lucian from a distance. Miraculously, the black flames extinguished as soon as Lucian took it back.

Although Alex felt the black cloak was quite ordinary, she had thought about burning it directly, but that plan fell through.

Meanwhile, John had caught up with Samson and launched an attack.

Samson had nowhere to hide. His own strength was at the Commanding level, and with some of the snow maidens' traits, his combat power enjoyed an extra boost in the snowy terrain.

Therefore, John couldn't defeat Samson quickly.

John swung his broadsword at Samson, who used a roll to dodge the attack. After creating some distance, he stretched out his hands, and the snow around John seemed to be enchanted, instantly forming a sphere that trapped John inside.

The snow mixed with ice began to erode John's body, causing slight stiffness in his limbs.

A smile appeared on Samson's face; he had also seen Alex and Lucian fighting. He admitted he was no match for Alex and Lucian, but it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't even beat the troops of those two Lords.

"Hmph, even a mere skeleton thinks it can kill me. Be forever frozen in this snowy mountain!"

Just as Samson was feeling somewhat smug, the ice-encased John raised his broadsword high, and his heavily armored body began to glow red.

"Skeleton Fall!"

John activated his skill.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky had filled with giant flaming skulls that began plummeting towards the ground.

The burning skulls, trailing long tails, resembled shooting stars.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

The giant skulls exploded upon hitting the flat area halfway up the mountain, melting the surrounding snow with the flames produced, and the snowflakes in the sky turned into droplets.

Not only Samson, but even Lucian was taken aback.

Such powerful magic from a skeleton?

The surrounding snow quickly melted, and a snow maiden was hit by a skull, vaporized before it could turn into snow, and was directly killed by John.

Samson was terrified; even he was too scared to turn into snow and escape, opting instead to use a huge ice shield formed from the ice to block.

A skull smashed directly onto the snowball above John's head. John shook his body, and the ice ball trapping him exploded, allowing him to walk out.

Samson realized a problem; he seemed unable to even defeat a skeleton.

The effect of Skeleton Fall continued, and one of the skulls smashed right at the entrance of the frost cave, blowing the ice blocking the entrance apart.

Roar!!!

A fierce roar came from the cave entrance, shaking it.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the cave entrance.

A big fellow had awakened, seemingly disturbed from a pleasant dream by the battle of the three Lords, and it appeared extremely angry.

Bang!

A white figure burst through the cave entrance.

The three saw a creature similar in size and stature to the Howling Moon Werewolves, except it was covered in a layer of frost armor, stood 15 feet tall, had very long claws, blood-red eyes, and drool dripping from its open mouth.

Lucian, being closest to the cave entrance, followed by Alex, was caught off guard by the werewolf creature's incredible speed. Before he could react, its five long, sharp claws pierced through his chest.

Thinking Lucian was dead, the werewolf creature tossed him aside and immediately charged at Alex.

Its long claws aimed straight for Alex's chest. Alex quickly cast a Dark Barrier for defense, but the creature's strength was so immense that it pushed her back several steps, nearly causing her to fall.

This creature's attributes were even higher than Alex's when her attributes were doubled!

At that moment, Lucian's wounds slowly healed, and he stood up again, his complexion somewhat pale. This creature was beyond his expectations.

The werewolf creature didn't expect not only that Alex wasn't killed by its attack but also that the human it thought it had just killed had also stood up again.

At the same time, other creatures inside the cave, awakened by the werewolf creature's roar, began to emerge continuously—Flame Demon Wolves and Frost Sprites.

The scene became even more chaotic. The Flame Demon Wolves and Frost Sprites, not very intelligent and acting on instinct, considered everyone in their territory as enemies.

"Let's team up!"

Alex shouted, realizing she couldn't defeat this creature alone.

Although the creature was strong, it wasn't invincible. Alex estimated its strength might be comparable to that of Ice Cream, and it was fightable.

Naturally, Lucian didn't want to give up the cave. The stronger the creature, the more resources it indicated. Without a second thought, Lucian attacked the werewolf creature.

Seeing the situation, Samson hesitated for a moment before also attacking the werewolf creature.

The three Lords, who had just been fighting each other, now cooperated to tackle the werewolf creature.

Their troops also began to attack the group of Frost Sprites and Flame Demon Wolves.

"Let's split the loot three ways."

Lucian said coldly, regretting that his black cloak had just been damaged by Alex, which would have otherwise increased his combat level.

Alex, while fighting, activated her left eye. Unlike Lucian, if she wasn't careful and got hit by this creature, she could really get hurt.

Alex's scythe, burning with flames, swung down, easily blocked by the werewolf creature's claws.

Lucian seized the opportunity to stab at the werewolf creature's neck with his claws, while Samson cast a spell to instantly freeze the creature's feet, and countless ice spikes surged from the ground towards its lower body.

Facing the combined attack of Lucian and Samson, the werewolf creature suddenly turned into an ice sculpture, successfully defending against their attacks.

The moment the werewolf creature turned into an ice sculpture, it stirred up a blizzard, pushing the three back.

At first, Alex thought Samson had frozen it, but it was clear now that the werewolf creature had frozen itself.

At the same time, Alex felt a sharp pain in her arm. Looking down, she saw a piece of ice crystal had splashed onto her arm, causing frostbite from just a small shard.

Flames instantly ignited on Alex's arm, melting the ice crystal.

As the werewolf creature actively thawed, a huge magic circle appeared in the sky, enveloping the three. Countless ice spikes formed from the condensed ice smashed down towards them.

This werewolf creature could also perform magical attacks!
