Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 392: Since you reject my offer of mercy, don't blame me for what happens next

A figure clad in white robes materialized, his gaze sharp as the long sword returned to his hand.

Alex stared, momentarily stunned. She had imagined the Archalpha might have a strange appearance, perhaps resembling some kind of beast, but she never expected this.

The Archalpha was strikingly handsome, with no beastly features whatsoever. And his weapon was a sword!

"You're a lord too, aren't you?"

Alex's gaze locked onto his face, searching for a reaction.

However, the Archalpha seemed to ignore her question, scoffing, "Undead are abominations, disrupting the natural order. You deserve judgment!"

He raised his sword, and Alex felt herself locked onto by multiple sword beams. But she remained calm. This attack was still within her capabilities to handle.

Her eyes glowed with red and blue light as thirteen spheres rose around her, spinning rapidly before merging into her body.

"Sword sphere!"

The Archalpha swung his sword, and hundreds of sword energies coalesced into a massive dragon-shaped form of pure energy, its jaws gaping wide as it lunged towards Alex.

"Earth sphere!"

Alex felt herself become one with the earth, her body radiating a golden light.

She swung her scythe, and a thick wall of earth materialized before her, blocking the sword dragon's attack.

"Space sphere!"

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed as all the attacks were compressed and annihilated. Alex appeared before the Archalpha in an instant, her scythe sweeping towards him. He parried the blow with his sword, unyielding.

As they locked blades, the bells on Alex's scythe jingled frantically, emitting a disorienting sound.

"Soul sphere!"

But it had no effect on the Archalpha, only causing him to pause momentarily.

When he recovered, Alex was gone, leaving only her scythe locked with his sword.

She reappeared above him, a roundhouse kick aimed at his head.

"Lightning sphere!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, crackling with terrifying power. Blue turned to purple, purple to black.

Black lightning!

The Archalpha, as if finally realizing the danger, swatted away Alex's scythe with his sword, then pointed the tip towards the descending lightning.

A white sword beam pierced the sky, shattering the lightning bolt.

Bang!

Alex seized the opportunity, landing a kick on his chest, sending him flying backward.

However, the lightning's residual energy still reached him, scorching his white robes.

"You can summon heavenly tribulation? Interesting! Bring it on! I shall ascend!"

Ignoring his injuries, the Archalpha charged towards Alex once more.

This guy was definitely not normal!

Alex realized that he wasn't as fast as her. With the combined power of her lightning, wind, and space spheres, her speed was unmatched.

However, she couldn't discern his sphere, and this Archalpha seemed to only possess one.

Alex parried his attacks with her scythe, their blades clashing in a flurry of sparks.

Waves of terrifying sphere energy rippled outward, each more powerful than the spheres wielded by the ten Emperor level beings below.

Five Colors City, ravaged by their battle, was now a pile of rubble. The surviving Beastmen, their fighting spirit broken, fled towards the city gates.

Only now, with the walls shattered, could they see what lay beyond.

An endless sea of undead, the ground littered with beastmen corpses, rivers of blood flowing through the streets. It was a scene straight out of hell!

The undead stationed outside the city seemed to have been waiting for the fleeing beastmen. They charged forward, engaging the enemy in a desperate attempt to escape.

But their hopes were quickly dashed. The undead were not only numerous but also incredibly powerful, their lowest level being Monarch, with dozens of King level beings among them!

There was no escape for the beastmen.

The ten Emperor level beings locked in combat below were stunned. Garethor and his companions were ecstatic, while the five alphas of the Beastmen Empire were horrified.

"How is this possible?!"

"She's only at Emperor level! Why hasn't the great Archalpha defeated her yet?"

They had exchanged blows hundreds of times, yet Alex hadn't faltered. She had even managed to injure the Beastmen Empire's Archalpha with her superior speed.

"Focus fire on the Alpha Gnoll!"

Ice Cream shouted, alerting the others.

After Death Spirit's breakthrough to Emperor level, it had gained the ability to summon Emperor level undead. They instantly understood his plan.

If one of the enemy's Emperor level beings fell, the balance of power would shift dramatically, ensuring the Beastmen Empire's defeat.

At this point, they could only trust that Alex could defeat the Sovereign level Archalpha.

Even if she couldn't kill him, she could at least hold him back.

"You want to kill me? You're delusional!"

The Alpha Gnoll roared, swinging his massive axe. He felt insulted, being singled out as the weakest among them.

Ice Cream hadn't whispered his plan. He had shouted it loud and clear. But beastmen were unaware that Alex's forces could summon Emperor level undead.

Their understanding of the undead was still limited to basic skeletons and zombies.

Outside the city, under Xiao Hui's command, the undead army had split into five groups, advancing towards the territories of the five races, using Five Colors City as their central point. With all the high-level combatants occupied, the beastmen were no match for the undead.

The five alphas were deeply worried. They understood the situation but were powerless to intervene.

The Archalpha, clad in white, remained calm. His focus was solely on Alex. He didn't care about the fate of his Beastmen Empire.

"You're no match for me. But since you're a lord, I'll give you a chance to submit."

Alex parried several sword beams with her scythe. She hadn't even used her undead sphere yet, and the Archalpha was already struggling.

Apart from his superior vitality and attack power, he had nothing else going for him.

"Who dares to claim invincibility? Who dares to claim they cannot be defeated?"

The Archalpha seemed to ignore Alex's offer, as if they were speaking different languages.

He charged towards Alex once more, his speed blindingly fast. Even Alex was caught off guard.

He disarmed her with a swift strike, his sword aimed at her heart.

Unable to defend herself in time, Alex didn't panic. She instantly activated her undead sphere.

"Since you reject my offer of mercy, don't blame me for what happens next!"
