Chapter 2570 Prayer
Done!
Fang Heng opened his eyes again and looked at Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo nearby.
Li Shaoqiang asked anxiously, "How did it go?"
"Done," Fang Heng replied, giving an OK gesture, indicating it had been a breeze.
As long as he could draw the enemy's will into his body and then fuse it with his own and the demonic seed's power, crushing the enemy would be effortless.
The real issue had been the initial phase.
When dealing with the God of the Underworld, the difficulty had been immense; in a normal confrontation, he wouldn't have stood a chance. They had only managed to outsmart the God of the Underworld through good luck and clever planning with Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo.
The risks had been significant.
If he had to face it again, he wasn't confident he could guarantee success.
Should he just give up?
With that thought, Fang Heng walked over to the shattered coffin of the God of the Underworld and reached inside.
[Hint: The player has obtained an item-Prayer of the God of the Underworld.]
Item: Prayer of the God of the Underworld.
Tier: Epic.
Item description: Injecting mental strength into the prayer forms a sphere of the God of the Underworld, which automatically targets enemies during battle (releases every 0.5 seconds, consuming mental strength, damage related to player's attributes).
Equipment description: Effective in the backpack; can be used by Guardians, Death Gods, Gods of the Underworld, and High Priestesses (up to 12 can be stacked).
Additional description: This equipment also activates for transcendent tier necromancy and above, but costs an additional 20% of mental strength.
Eh?!
Fang Heng felt a jolt of excitement and quickly placed the item into his backpack.
Whoosh!!!
Switching to the Death God bloodline, he activated the prayer, and a dark sphere materialized beside him. The sphere appeared in a somewhat chaotic state, constantly shifting in the air but maintaining its spherical shape.
With a thought, Fang Heng locked onto a target—a Licker at the entrance of the Great Hall.
Whoosh!
A faint blue flame erupted from the black sphere!
"Bang!!"
The flame raced forward, striking the Licker and igniting upon contact.
[Hint: The player's zombie clone (Licker) has been attacked by the Underworld Fire, HP reduced by 52,000, now in a burning state.]
"Looks promising..."
Fang Heng glanced at the damage numbers.
The Underworld Fire's burning effect was a spell-based debuff that even undead creatures couldn't dispel.
This was a fantastic item!
Fang Heng lifted his gaze and surveyed the coffins surrounding the crystal pillar. Aside from the opened ones, fewer than thirty remained closed.
From the God of the Underworld's engravings on the coffins, he deduced that three coffins still contained the buried Gods of the Underworld.
The others likely housed even stronger entities—Empire High Priests or perhaps even more powerful guardians than the High Priests.
In any case, they would definitely be stronger than the God of the Underworld.
Fang Heng pushed aside all other thoughts. If each God of the Underworld's coffin contained something as valuable as the prayer, there was no way he would back down.
Forget about retreating!
He quickly dismissed any thoughts of running away. It was time to gamble again!
He would go for those last three Gods of the Underworld and see what he could get. He just had to bet that they weren't as clever as they seemed.
At worst, he could always fail and escape later.
Switching back to his sacred form, he summoned the Great Holy Sword and turned to Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo, "Brothers, you did great! Let's do it again and take on the next one..."
What?
Again?
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged incredulous glances. Wasn't this supposed to be a one-time gamble?
...
An hour later.
Fang Heng reached into another God of the Underworld's coffin.
[Hint: The player has obtained item-God of the Underworld's prayer*1.]
Perfect.
Another prayer secured!
Fang Heng nodded to himself, satisfied with his luck—he had gotten all three prayers.
Now, summoning four prayers simultaneously significantly enhanced his output while in Death God mode.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo gathered around, wiping the sweat from their brows.
Luring the God of the Underworld into his sea of consciousness felt like dancing on the edge of a blade. The last attempt had nearly been discovered, resulting in a close skirmish with the God of the Underworld.
Fortunately, he had managed to pull it off in the end.
"Mr. Fang..."
Tan Shuo swallowed hard, eyeing Fang Heng's focus. He hoped Fang Heng wasn't seriously considering tackling higher-level God of the Underworld coffins again. That could end badly.
"Hmm..."
Fang Heng let out a light hum, pulling his gaze away from the coffin. With some time to spare, he opened his game log to review previous prompts.
The invading forces from the Hanu Empire were proving stronger than he had anticipated. The invaders had already reached the second basement area.
Most of the enemies consisted of high-tier Bones of Radiance guards and elite members of the Dark Clan.
On the bright side, defeating these Bones of Radiance guards could yield 10-15 points of Death God bloodline experience. It might not seem like much, but there were plenty of them, and together, that would add up.
Just then, another game hint appeared before the trio's eyes.
[Hint: The player has triggered an urgent mission-The Invaded Empress Mausoleum.]
Mission name: The Invaded Empress Mausoleum.
Mission description: The mausoleum of Empress Persephone is under external invasion. Please assist in resisting the invasion and protect the Empress's coffin from destruction.
Mission reward: Bloodline experience points.
Failure penalty: Bloodline level decreases by 5 levels.
Fang Heng frowned as he read the mission details. Thanks to the demonic seed's greedy effect, the mission was still active, and he was considered part of Empress Persephone's faction. Thus, defeating the invaders would grant him experience points.
Looks like it's time for another run.
Fang Heng made a decision and looked up, saying, "The mausoleum is extremely dangerous; the invaders will soon breach this place. You should retreat first."
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged glances, reading the mission description, "Aren't you coming with us, Mr. Fang?"
"No, I'm going to farm for a bit longer. If you're with me, I can't focus properly. Once you're back, inform the undead council about what's happening here. They might have a way to deal with the invaders..." Fang Heng paused, then added, "Oh, and while you still can, take note of all the inscriptions on the coffins. Bring them back to the undead council; they might be useful."
"Got it!"
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang nodded, quickly surrounding the coffin to take photos of the inscriptions and patterns.
"Chi chi, chi chi..."
As they finished photographing, Abe Akaya's roots swiftly spread around them, coalescing into a magical array beneath their feet.
Whoosh!
A blue light blossomed!
With the activation of the magic array, Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang were transported out of the death realm.
[Hint: The player has used Abe Akaya's special ability to complete the teleportation. The current environment requires an additional consumption of 50,000% energy points.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game hint.
That was quite a hefty cost, but at least it kept them safe.
As for what was next...
He still needed 22 levels to max out his commander-level Death God.
Time to farm some experience!
Even if he eventually left Empress Persephone's faction and his Death God bloodline regressed, he could still convert it into grandmaster-level necromancy later.
Overall, it was a good deal!
Fang Heng turned his attention back to Abe Akaya.
"Abe Akaya, are you ready?"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Abe Akaya's vines extended toward Fang Heng.
"Great, let's go!"
