Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
In the next moment, an extensive and arcane incantation was forcefully imprinted into his sea of consciousness.
[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-The Wrath of the Death Knight.]
Mission name: The Wrath of the Death Knight.
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Mission description: The invaders from the Holy Realm were attempting to destroy the death knight space, which had incited the wrath of the death knight. To stop them, the death knight needed to borrow the power of the Frostbone Dragon from Empress Persephone's mausoleum.
Mission requirements: Attempt to awaken and use the Shrine of Bones to seal the Frostbone Dragon that was hibernating in Empress Persephone's mausoleum and deliver it to the death knight.
Mission reward: Death Knight's Appreciation.
The incantation had been forcefully engraved in Fang Heng's sea of consciousness in an extremely brutal manner.
If it hadn't been for Fang Heng's strong spiritual power, he would have fainted long ago.
Even so, a cold sweat had formed on Fang Heng's forehead.
A moment later, Fang Heng had raised his head and seen the death knight staring intently at them.
"You have only 35 minutes left. How long do you plan to stay here? Hurry up and go!"
"Whoosh!!!"
A visible surge of energy had rushed toward the three of them.
This time, Fang Heng had seen his will being forcefully pushed out of the death knight's body and slammed into the teleportation channel behind him.
...
In Empress Persephone's mausoleum, within a certain stone chamber.
The three of them, Fang Heng, Li Shaoqiang, and Tan Shuo, once again entered the newly revived mausoleum priest's body in a possession state.
"This..."
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged glances and then turned to look at Fang Heng.
"Mr. Fang, what's our situation now?"
With so much having happened all at once, Li Shaoqiang felt his head buzzing and was somewhat disoriented.
"Hmm..."
Fang Heng pondered for a moment and said, "From what I can gather, the bloodline seems to be at a higher tier than academic disciplines. There are still many questions about the 'Death God' bloodline, and the death knight should be able to provide answers. For now, we need to focus on completing the mission."
Tan Shuo asked, "Mr. Fang, did you record the incantation?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
The death knight had directly imprinted the incantation into his sea of consciousness, making it difficult to forget without significant effort.
Fang Heng added, "The incantation is long and requires continuous casting, at least three minutes."
"That long? We're doomed!" Li Shaoqiang slapped his forehead. "Those invaders won't let us get near the coffin for three minutes."
Fang Heng agreed with this assessment.
Despite the three of them having just gained the Death God bloodline, the actual increase in their power was minimal.
While Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo had awakened dimensional energy and saw significant boosts, applying this in the upcoming battle would still be challenging. Even if their combat power was tripled, completing the mission would remain difficult.
Moreover, they were still in a state of possession.
They had been unable to overcome the challenge earlier, and their situation hadn't changed.
"Eh?!"
Li Shaoqiang suddenly noticed something and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Fang, we can actually use several of the Death God's skills!"
Hmm?!
Fang Heng's attention was immediately drawn. He quickly accessed his character panel.
Indeed!
As Li Shaoqiang had said, although all skills were disabled in possession mode, the skills obtained through the Death God bloodline were still active.
They were usable!
"That's great!" Li Shaoqiang's mood brightened significantly. He looked at Fang Heng and said, "Mr. Fang, what do you think? Should we give it a shot?"
"Yes." Fang Heng nodded. "Let's go take a look first. Don't be so pessimistic, maybe we're lucky and the Frostbone Dragon's mausoleum chamber hasn't been occupied yet."
"Right, right, my luck is usually pretty good. Let's go and check it out."
Following the mission's directions, the group hurried toward the indicated location.
As they approached the mausoleum entrance, Li Shaoqiang's expression grew increasingly grim.
The mausoleum guards and priests were pouring continuously toward the stone chamber's passage.
Their luck had turned for the worse.
The chamber containing the Frostbone Dragon had been taken over.
And not just by any invaders, but by the strongest team among them!
There were nearly 30 of them.
Among them, a few invaders were exceptionally powerful, enveloped in a thick layer of blue flames.
These two individuals alone were enough to hold back a large number of advancing mausoleum guards and priests.
Li Shaoqiang observed from the back for a moment, feeling immense pressure. He turned to Fang Heng.
"Mr. Fang, what should we do?"
Fang Heng's brow furrowed as well, his gaze fixed on the figures in the stone chamber.
The strength was formidable!
The pale blue flames burning around the figure guarding the entrance nearly overwhelmed the surrounding area, spreading in waves of heat.
Fang Heng felt a pang of regret for not having Mo Jiawei also learn necromancy and join them.
Tan Shuo, after observing for a while, grew increasingly anxious and said, "Mr. Fang, the mission time might not be enough. How about we give it a try now?"
"Alright!"
A trial it would be!
Fang Heng glanced at the remaining mission time.
The difficulty of the mission lay in the time constraint.
Given unlimited time, they could rely on their endless revival ability to eventually wear down the enemies. However, with the Holy Realm's forces disrupting the death knight space, there was a risk that if the Holy Realm succeeded, they might face their demise.
"Old strategy, I'll go first!"
With that, Fang Heng quickly blended into the crowd of mausoleum guards and priests heading toward the stone chamber's grand hall.
...
Land of Hibernation of the Frostbone Dragon.
Lord Dani, having just explored a small stone chamber with her instructor, was exhausted in both willpower and mental strength. Unable to continue further exploration, she decided to join the main force of the undead faction.
Looking at the two central undead council elders guarding the entrance of the passage, Lord Dani nodded silently in approval.
Even in such an unfavorable environment as the death realm, the elders could guard a critical point solely with their willpower.
The depth of necromancy rivaled that of the Holy Court.
In fact, Lord Dani had recently learned that much of the central undead council's elite efforts over the past several millennia had been focused on exploring the mausoleum.
"Lord Dani, how's the harvest this time?"
Ji Xiaobo, with some free time, approached Lord Dani and started a casual conversation.
Lord Dani had assisted during the defense of the Mock Temple, and they had some acquaintance.
"Not much of a harvest. Just came to see the sights with my instructor. You've been here more than once?"
"Yes, dragged here every time, hoping for a bit of luck."
