At this moment, the high tower was completely enveloped in flames.
"It's so warm."
"This is the flame that dispels darkness, the flame that brings civilization."
"As expected of our King."
Erica, Kanae, and Mariya Yuri reached out and touched the flames before them.
There was no burning sensation, only a warmth.
But Mariya Yuri saw more: a man, striking two stones together in the dark, and after an unknown period, the first flame recorded in Yanhuang appeared.
Flame brought light and dispelled the darkness.
It illuminated the land where they lived in the dark night; this was the origin of the Yanhuang flame, and also the progress of civilization, from which they began a life of slash-and-burn agriculture.
Prometheus stole fire, while Zhurong discovered how to make fire himself.
Both brought fire.
One was the grace of a god, the other a continuation of self-reliance.
Therefore, the treatment of the two was different.
Flame brought light, and flame illuminated the earth.
Flame brought a new civilization!
The two cannot be equated.
The undead, enveloped by Zhurong's flames, felt a warmth they had never experienced since becoming undead servants.
"No! Impossible!"
Woban felt all the undead break free from his control.
What made him even more disbelieving was why the authority of 'Zhurong' had such immense power in the hands of this fellow before him.
As the threads of Woban's control over the undead snapped.
The entire undead army broke free from his control.
Ye Xiao watched as the undead army before him all returned to their original colors, and flesh began to regrow on the skeletons.
One by one, they revealed their original appearances.
"How is this possible...?"
Woban's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
His undead army, the power he prided himself on, was now easily disintegrated by Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao stood within the flames, like a true god.
And the undead all laid down their weapons, bowing to the King before them.
"We! Greet the New King!"
"Thank you, King, for freeing us from the tyrant's control!"
Their voices were uniform and echoed through the sky.
Woban began to panic.
He tried to escape but was firmly suppressed by the four black orbs.
He looked at Woban before him, then at the liberated undead.
"Pick up your weapons!!"
As Ye Xiao's words fell, the undead all stood up.
They picked up their weapons, using their last remaining bodies to carry out the New King's command.
Ye Xiao raised his right hand, pointing at the suppressed Woban.
"I hereby declare that the burning karmic flames shall incinerate the bodies and souls of the cruel!"
"With sinful karma as fuel."
"Judge!"
"All sinners shall be consumed by karmic flames."
"This is the judgment of karmic flames of cause and effect!!"
As the words fell, the weapons of the undead all burned with karmic flames; this was the karma between Woban and the undead.
Because Woban had personally killed them, they had become undead who obeyed his commands.
This was the cause between them.
The undead all raised their weapons, imbued with karmic flames, and hurled them towards Woban; this was the effect.
As the karmic flames enveloped him.
"No! How can I die here!!"
Woban, corroded by the karmic flames, let out a mournful howl; his body rapidly burned.
"Hahaha! I can't die here!!"
"Open! Gate of the Underworld! The sister who fell to the Great Mother Goddess, the Underworld Queen......"
Before he could finish, a red light flashed, and the longinus spear was thrown.
Ye Xiao would not let him summon the Underworld Dragon.
Woban's eyes suddenly widened; a large hole appeared in his chest, and he looked at his chest in disbelief.
Woban lowered his head, his life force gone.
The karmic flames continued to burn, and his body turned to ashes.
As a gentle breeze blew, Woban's last existence vanished.
Thus, the first Godslayer, the Wolf King, died.
As the battle ended, the flames gradually dissipated.
The undead legion, emitting golden light, gradually vanished; they looked at Ye Xiao, at the King before them, and performed a solemn ceremony.
"O King, thank you for liberating us; we offer you our highest blessings, O King, move forward, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we will transform into the strength for your journey."
After speaking, the undead completely dissipated into the air.
Ye Xiao looked in the direction they departed, smiling slightly.
"May your martial fortunes be prosperous!"
As the golden light entered his body, a brand new authority appeared within Ye Xiao.
The Monarch of the Undead.
The new King revered by the undead; even if their souls return to the netherworld, the bodies of these warriors will still fight for you.
PS: Gain their loyalty after helping the deceased find peace.
At this moment, the system gave a prompt.
"An unexpected surprise."
Looking at the panel before him, Ye Xiao smiled.
"King!"
"Master."
Erica and Kanae ran over.
The scene just now, like a fire god, was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Ye Xiao looked at them and smiled.
"Go help Rias and the others."
"Mm!"
...
"Hahaha! Finally done!! It's finally done now! Even if there are some flaws, I just need to snatch the other holy swords and melt them down!"
A fat man in church attire looked at the scene before him.
He was the one carrying out the Holy Sword Project.
Balba Galilei!
In the golden magic circle in the center, a brand new three-in-one holy sword appeared within it.
Rias, Sona, and Yotsuya Miko had all arrived here.
Looking at the golden magic circle before them, they felt the power emanating from it.
It contained a powerful force.
This power could instantly destroy a city.
Kokabiel looked at the brand new holy sword, feeling pleased.
"Everyone, 20 minutes! Within 20 minutes, this city will turn into ruins. If you want to resolve the crisis, you must..."
Balba said, looking up at Kokabiel in the sky.
Kokabiel, on his sky throne, stood up and took over, saying,
"Defeat me!"
Kokabiel stood up, "To save the city, there is only one way: defeat me."
As he spoke, the throne disappeared, and Kokabiel spread all five pairs of his wings, his pressure bearing down on the people below.
Rias looked at Kokabiel.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, Kiba Yuto, holding his demonic sword, stared intently at the fat man before him.
He walked towards his enemy.
Rias, seeing this, wanted to tell him to come back quickly, but she was stopped by Yotsuya Miko.
"Miko!"
"Rias, Master said this is Kiba's own battle. When this battle ends, you will see a brand new Kiba."
Hearing Yotsuya Miko's words, Rias relaxed.
Since it was Ye Xiao's word, then she was relieved. However, Yi Cheng was a bit worried about Kiba, so he followed him.
Then...
Next was the battle with Kokabiel above!
