The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 385: Strange Knowledge Infusion
Wave after wave of undead warriors with terrifying spectral flames burning across their forms emerged from the yellow earth.
Long streaks of pale green light reflected in Aurelianne's bewildered eyes.
Each of these undead warriors possessed formidable strength.
Aurelianne could sense the powerful aura seeping from their skeletal bodies.
The pale green flames burned more fiercely as the undead warriors gathered.
Like a restless beast, the fire tore through the air, creating a blazing wall of rage.
The undead dragon soaring in the sky made Aurelianne tremble even more.
The pressure of a fifth-rank being swept across, permeating this realm of the dead.
At this moment, suspicions began to form in Aurelianne's mind.
Karin's words confirmed her thoughts.
Looking at the crowd of death row prisoners transformed into undead warriors, even the ghostly flames in Karin's eye sockets stagnated.
Her jaws clattered together nervously, producing rapid clicking sounds.
Terror exploded like fireworks in its simple mind.
"How did Mr. Viktor manage to release all these death row inmates?"
Oh! My God!
Fucking God of Death, I'm completely cornered now!
ROAR——!!!
Just then, the undead dragon raised its head and unleashed an angry roar toward the star-dotted night sky.
The surrounding sand and dust were instantly lifted by the sound waves, as space itself twisted and distorted, rippling outward in all directions.
It flapped its skeletal wings wreathed in ghostfire, charging toward the general surrounded by cosmic nebulae.
The undead warriors seemed awakened by the dragon's action, surging forward barefoot across the sand.
Warriors, assassins, hunters, cavalry, priests...
Undead warriors from all walks of life gathered their fighting spirit, coordinating as they had in life to face the powerful enemy before them.
A surge of pale green fire rolled across the endless yellow earth, threatening to devour every living being in this prison's depths.
Seeing the undead warriors charging with swords and axes, the Meteor General also began to move.
A burning starlight descended like a meteor, bathing its body in celestial light.
Instantly, his already powerful arms grew even more massive, enveloped in dense cosmic nebulae.
Patterns like intricate carvings traced across his body, traversing his thick, sturdy frame.
As the starlight dispersed, four additional robust arms materialized on his body.
These four arms connected to his heart by ethereal blue threads at their ends.
The four extra stellar arms hung high in the air, chains of illusory light at their ends resembling curtains suspended at the edge of the cosmos.
He stood firmly in place, raising his four suspended arms high before smashing them down toward the approaching undead warriors.
BOOM——!
Sand and dust erupted thousands of feet under this strike, the nebulae on his hands scattered then quickly regathered along his arms.
The rising dust cloud nearly obscured half of his body wrapped in steel and cosmic matter.
The experienced undead warriors dodged the giant arms with nimble movements, their raised weapons striking the hard body but seemingly causing no damage.
Their ghostfire-imbued weapons struck the steel body with a series of resounding clangs, yet the nebulae and steel remained unbroken.
The spectators stood stunned at the intense battle unfolding before them.
Karin, watching the nebulae and ghostfire intertwining in combat, gaped in astonishment, her jaw nearly detaching.
Her entire skull trembled uncontrollably like a frightened bird.
The soul flames suspended in the air began to flicker erratically, while the two intense flames in her empty eye sockets rotated along the contour of her skull—eerie and confused.
The lowest-level death row inmates were actually fighting against the prison's most powerful sealed entity?
Good Lord, what kind of nightmare was this?
Both Aurelianne and Pricis Nisse were entranced, their eyes reflecting the dispersal and convergence of the pale green flames.
Through her shock, Pricis felt an overwhelming surge of excitement and passion.
This battle was so captivating that even as mere spectators, they were drawn in by its inspiring ferocity.
Aurelianne remained silent, carefully studying the application of necromancy and the warriors' tactics on the battlefield.
She hoped to glean experience and wisdom from the display.
As they watched with fascination, Viktor's calm voice sounded beside them:
"Do you know its origin?"
Both women shook their heads, and even Karin looked at Viktor with curiosity.
Viktor gazed at the towering Meteor General and explained to the two women and the skeleton:
"On this vast expanse of yellow sand, it is respectfully called the Meteor General."
"It comes from an incredibly ancient era."
"That was an age when gods still walked among us."
Back then, the Kanter Kingdom had not yet been established, and this continent was ruled by the [Star Empire].
This was a nation blessed by the gods.
Its power was so vast that even the entire territory of today's Kanter Kingdom would have been merely one of its cities.
Whenever time reached a certain celestial alignment, the gods would bestow stellar blessings, helping heroes rise within this nation.
The Meteor General was one of these heroes.
It possessed immense power to protect the kingdom and guard the artifacts connected to the gods.
'Meteor General,' this title came from the honor bestowed by the Star Empire—[Guardian of the Four Divine Directions, Western Position].
However, after the gods departed, the Star Empire, which had relied too heavily on stellar blessings, gradually weakened without divine protection.
Eventually, it vanished with the winds of time, erased from existence.
Those heroes who had received blessings also turned to stardust, sleeping beneath this land that had lost its vitality.
The women wondered why Viktor was sharing this history.
Regardless, they were increasingly impressed by Viktor's profound knowledge.
He was intimately familiar with even such ancient matters.
Meanwhile, the battle raged on.
The undead warriors fought desperately against the Meteor General, while the dragon flapped its wings high above, spewing soul fire capable of incinerating everything in its path.
Its massive claws slashed like blades, leaving deep gashes across the Meteor General's stellar armor.
Warriors charged on the front line, archers darkened the sky with arrows, and priests...
The priests couldn't pray; healing magic would only cause deeper harm to these undead.
So even they could only wield crude staves and join the fray.
Watching the pale green flames tear across the battlefield, Viktor spoke again:
"The name Meteor General might sound unfamiliar to you."
"But its full name is Saint Gali Samuel."
Everyone froze in shock.
Samuel?
Isn't that... the royal surname of the Kanter Kingdom?
BOOM——
A prolonged, thunderous sound drew everyone's attention.
The Meteor General's four giant hands had captured the undead warriors, pressing them all to the ground, continuously crushing them into the sandy earth.
At that moment, the undead warriors were completely routed, crushed into bone ash one by one.
Even the ghostly flames on their bodies were completely extinguished.
The dragon roared in the high sky, spewing soul fire, but was caught by the Meteor General's outstretched arms.
It raised its neck, the pale green flames bending and swaying skyward, but it struggled helplessly, unable to escape.
The battle had clearly tilted to one side, but Viktor remained calm and continued his historical account of the Meteor General:
"During this general's prime, his descendants also received partial blessings from the gods."
"After the gods disappeared, they rebuilt the Kanter Kingdom here, in this western land guarded by the Meteor General, continuing life after the fall of the Star Empire."
Using stars as the ranking system for nobility was also a tradition inherited from the [Star Empire] era.
On the battlefield, the undead warriors were nearly annihilated.
Even the massive dragon was held in the Meteor General's giant hand, manipulated as easily as a common lizard.
Aurelianne watched the intense battle with shock evident in her eyes.
This experience of absorbing knowledge while witnessing such combat was indeed exhilarating.
However, the Meteor General's terrifying power far exceeded their imagination.
Those death row inmates were all formidable fighters, and even the dragon had reached the fifth rank.
Yet in the hands of this general, they were mere playthings.
Still, she maintained faith that Viktor, being so composed, must have other means to turn the tide.
Sure enough, as the undead warriors faced defeat, Viktor raised a hand.
"Next, I'll demonstrate the correct way for a necromancer to fight."
In the next instant, green flames erupted from the ground, quickly engulfing the tombstones of the fallen necromancers.
One by one, skeletal undead emerged from the earth, pale green ghostfire igniting upon their bones, tattered robes hanging from their frames and swaying gently.
They raised their heads in unison, human-skin spellbooks floating before them, pages turning rapidly.
Pale green magic poured from the books, flowing toward the battlefield ahead.
"Souls wandering in the realm of the dead, though bearing the pain of a thousand piercing hearts, we command you to return as guardians."
"After the vast tide of death, peace shall be bestowed upon your forms."
With this incantation, the pale green magic quickly enveloped all the broken bones.
The scattered remains buried in the sand glowed with ethereal green light, rising into the air.
Then, those fragments reassembled themselves into skeletal figures.
The undead warriors who had been destroyed moments before returned to unlife once more.
The dragon also disintegrated into bone fragments from within the Meteor General's grasp, escaping his control before reassembling its massive form high in the sky.
But necromancy's power extended far beyond this.
The necromancers produced small bells and gently shook them.
The crisp, resonant sound swept across the boundless wasteland.
Beneath the sand and dust, within a hundred miles, soul lights hidden under the ground began to shine.
Countless souls formed of pale green mist materialized across this vast expanse.
They wielded various weapons and wore thick soul armor, forming an immense army stretching as far as the eye could see.
Aurelianne stared at this army of countless souls, her entire body tensing, her mind blank with terror.
For someone who feared souls as she did, this was nothing short of an endless nightmare.
Although she knew they weren't targeting her, primal fear still gripped her heart.
The next moment, the floating souls transformed into a massive wave of spiritual energy, surging forward as one.
They seemed capable of drowning the entire world beneath their spectral forms, completely engulfing the Meteor General.
Viktor watched the summoned soul army, his eyes flashing with pale green starlight:
