Chapter 374: Skull Wall, Defeat, and Interrogation
Boom!
A blast of fiery energy detonated on the ground, completely destroying an already dilapidated tower and causing it to collapse with a deafening roar.
Throughout the process, not a single undead below was harmed.
*Swoosh~*
A red cloak billowed in the wind.
Evileye floated in mid-air, her eyes burning with fury as she gazed down at the Royal Capital, a landscape of weathered, crumbling architecture.
This was the rage of one whose home had been occupied!
The identity of someone who could live in a place swarming with undead, and even control them, was not hard to guess.
Even though her people had been turned into undead zombies, as the sole member of the royal family, Evileye would never permit anyone to manipulate them.
"Get out here!"
Evileye's high-pitched voice, amplified by magic, echoed through the air.
The successive massive commotions stirred the dense horde of undead zombies below. Their guttural howls and roars erupted from the ground, but they were unable to attack Evileye, who was flying in mid-air.
Tang Zheng floated at an even higher altitude, quietly observing the scene below.
When he saw Evileye deliberately avoid the undead as she attacked, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"She still holds onto some kind of hope... unwilling to harm what was once her populace?" The thought surfaced in Tang Zheng's mind.
If that was the case, then his previous plan would be somewhat troublesome to implement.
In the current Otherworld, among the forces that could oppose the Bone King, apart from the True Dragon Lords and a divine human like Zesshi Zetsumei, the Evileye before him was definitely one of them.
This was because undead, unlike the living, had almost no level restrictions, and Evileye was a vampire born from special circumstances.
In the side story, she even used the research data from the Body of the Abyss to acquire the racial class "Lesser Vampire Progenitor," something that didn't even exist in the game YGGDRASIL.
It was a class unique to the Otherworld, and the reason for the "Lesser" prefix was simply because, in the side story, Evileye's level was too low, preventing her from fully unleashing the class's power.
One could say!
The "Progenitor" class was a more advanced existence than even that of Shalltear, one of the Floor Guardians.
"Bone Spear!"
A pale, bony spear shot out ferociously from a building below, like a bolt of white lightning.
Only a white afterimage remained in the air.
*Bang!*
A translucent crystal barrier appeared before Evileye; it was the defensive magic she had prepared in advance, "Crystal Shield."
She looked at the thumb-sized white indentation left on the crystal shield.
"The power is roughly on par with 4th-tier magic, but it's very fast. Is it because bones are lighter?"
The thought flashed through Evileye's mind as she stared coldly down in the direction the attack had come from.
There, an undead with a zombie-like appearance, clad in an earthy gray robe and exuding a thick death aura, had appeared. Its gaze was scarlet.
It was Cassius Habakkuk, and he was currently very angry.
No one would be pleased to have their research interrupted!
Cassius Habakkuk stared at the small, red-robed figure in the sky, flames seeming to burn in his scarlet pupils, yet there was also a hint of vigilance.
He had clearly set up numerous magical traps, yet none had been triggered. He only noticed his opponent when they launched their attack.
This meant the other party was an enemy with a wealth of experience.
Who could it be?
Logically, the sheer number of undead gathered here should have been enough to scare off any living beings who dared to approach, even those with the ability of "Flight."
The undead skeleton vultures circling in the sky were not just for show.
Cassius Habakkuk noticed that the flying undead in the air had not been harmed.
Due to Evileye's equipment, he hadn't realized his opponent was also an undead. But even if he had known, the hostile outcome would likely have remained unchanged.
"The magic that blocked my spell was a crystal construct. She must be an earth-element specialist."
"The enemy must also have a way to control the undead."
Cassius Habakkuk possessed a rich knowledge of magic and quickly analyzed his opponent's abilities based on the situation:
"Also, I can't be sure if there's only one enemy."
This was a place he found quite satisfactory, and even though he'd been discovered, he had no intention of leaving.
He was the Archlich of Night, the very incarnation of "Calamity"!
When Evileye saw that the one occupying the Royal Capital was an undead, the anger on her face intensified.
Before she had left long ago, she had specially placed the corpses of the King and her mother in a basement in the depths of the Palace. Under normal circumstances, this would have been fine, but now, the one occupying this place was an undead.
In that case...
"You damned bastard!"
Evileye roared in fury, raising her hands without a hint of fear or nervousness towards the enemy before her.
She was no longer the weakling she once was. After 250 years, her power and magic had long surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
As for her defeat at the hands of a Dragon Lord—the pinnacle of power, the world's strongest race—that was an exceptional situation!
Besides, no matter how you looked at it, that Crimson Dragon Lord didn't seem like an ordinary Dragon Lord.
Apart from that, Evileye didn't think there was anyone else in this world she couldn't defeat.
"Resistance-Piercing: Dragon Lightning."
*Crack!*
Blue lightning was released from both her arms, transforming into a surging bolt that struck downwards like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Her opponent was an undead, so holy- and fire-type magic would naturally deal more damage, but for that very reason, he would surely have a countermeasure.
"Skull Wall!"
Cassius Habakkuk was startled by the power of the lightning and hurriedly responded.
*Boom!*
A wall composed entirely of skeletons rose from the ground, accompanied by a thick plume of black smoke.
The faint screams of the skeletons embedded in the wall and the grinding of bones could be heard.
*BOOM—!*
The thunder struck the Skull Wall, blasting a large hole through it on the spot. Though damaged, it successfully blocked the Dragon Lightning spell.
Higher up in the sky.
"Oh?" Tang Zheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
He hadn't expected that undead to use this magic. Although "Skull Wall" was only a 5th-tier defensive magic, it could block one powerful, instantaneous attack.
It could even block the 10th-tier spell "Reality Slash." The Bone King often used this magic; it was a very cost-effective defensive measure.
"Learn."

Below.
The battle between Evileye and her opponent continued, both displaying incredibly powerful magical techniques.
While Tang Zheng focused on their fight, he also extended his attention to the surroundings, further confirming whether any other enemies were present.
"This undead... is he an Archlich of Night? He feels much weaker than the Alliance Leader. He's no threat to Evileye."
