Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

Wu Ye felt even more confident at this moment. He'd acquired a new Skeleton minion, a front-line type. It was incredibly rare, and it even came with two special bonuses. It was truly impressive! Its defense was even higher than Skeleton's, and its HP was comparable. However, its attack power was less than ideal. After all, it was the front line, taking the beating, so a bit of tankiness was a plus! And he didn't want them to be a DPS, their taunting abilities were truly amazing!

Enemies taunted have their attack reduced by 20%. While this may not seem like much, it's actually quite significant against bosses. It's less noticeable against smaller enemies, and the added bonus of slowing them down is a nice bonus. Finally, it freezes them for a second. It's a truly magical skill!

Wu Ye had smelled a strong stench from the beginning, which was floating everywhere. He had clearly walked out of the corpse mother's side, so why was it still here?

Thinking about the monsters he had seen in Diablo III, Wu Ye realized that it wasn't the destruction of the Worldstone that would cause these monsters to appear, but rather that each monster had a different location to appear in. Now that he was approaching the cathedral, it was hard to say what might emerge from it!

Wu Ye began to move forward cautiously. He was a little afraid that something would suddenly jump out from the side and scare him.

But there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of, right? Unless it's a particularly powerful monster, Wu Ye really can't think of anything that can scare him.

Thinking of this, Wu Ye no longer hesitated, but quickened his pace and ran towards the church on the mountain.

Looking at the repaired stone brick road, Wu Ye felt that the people of the Dark World were actually quite wise, understanding the importance of road construction. If there was an official road from Rogue to Tristram, wouldn't it be much more convenient? However, these were not things he could do. If he did well this time and completely recaptured Tristram, that would be a great help to Rogue. After all, Tristram's total area was larger than Rogue City! The castle of the former king, the Li family, was also very large. Although it was destroyed by Diablo, some ruins still remained. Restoring Tristram would be a huge project!

But when the time comes, I can just let Akara and Kasha do the work. I will just be an errand boy. I will just go home to my wife and children and have a warm bed.

Wu Ye could already see Tristram's cathedral. The solemn and sacred cathedral door was flanked by portraits of angels on either side. At the top of the cathedral was the symbol of the Horadrim Brotherhood. This was also the place where Diablo was once sealed. Now it had become Lao Li's grave. How ironic!

Wu Ye approached the cathedral cautiously. He did not sense any breath of the undead at this moment, and even the strong stench of decay that was there before had disappeared.

This made Wu Ye start to get nervous. What was going on? Was Old Li deliberately not sending troops to stop him?

Wu Ye had already taken out the magic stone with sealing effect.

And the magic stone suddenly flickered as if it was summoned.

"Weak human, I once warned you not to disturb my sleep again. You seem to have no regard for your own life."

The moment Wu Ye pushed open the church door, the shadow of King Leoric appeared on the platform at the innermost end of the cathedral.

He wore a particularly conspicuous crown, armor for battle, a black and green color scheme, and held a particularly large hammer in his hand.

This! This is the former Leoric! Now the Skeleton King!

"King Leoric, wait a minute, I'm here to negotiate terms!"

Wu Ye didn't know what had just happened, but he blurted out this sentence. He suddenly felt that what he said was stupid. What conditions were we negotiating?!

"Oh? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Once I catch that dirty thief, none of you will survive!" King Leoric seemed to still be thinking about the mysterious man that day.

Seeing the negotiations about to fail, Wu Ye didn't know what to say. "Let's fight?" he said. He couldn't beat Leoric. If he ran away, Old Li wouldn't necessarily let him escape. But Old Li hadn't made a move yet, so he must have something else to say. He couldn't afford to lose face just yet.

"Respected King Leoric, I wonder if I can help you recover that lost item?"

Wu Ye suddenly had an idea. If he could get the things back, maybe there would be some room for negotiation with Old Li? But after all, King Leoric was no longer a human being. He was afraid that he would turn against him and kill him along with him.

"Hmph, weak human! What are you going to use to get it back? From what I know, it seems like he almost killed you back then? With your limited strength, why should I trust you?"

Hearing Old Li say this, Wu Ye actually felt there was still hope. Perhaps he could reveal a little more of his fabricated knowledge to that mysterious man, and he might even give it to him. Wu Ye could sense that the man seemed quite interested in him. Of course, he wasn't a male virgin.

"You, just tell me his location and I can help you find him. But, respected King Leoric, if I help you find him, can you sleep peacefully?"

Wu Ye was curious about what King Leoric was planning. What had been stolen that would trigger such a fuss and send out such a large army of undead?

"Interesting! After all these years, you're still the first human who dares to speak to me like that. If you can help me get that thing back, I promise not to send out large armies so easily again. After all, I only have one enemy, and that's that damn red-skinned lizard! Diablo!"

Leoric gritted his teeth when he thought of Diablo, because Diablo not only drove him crazy, but also caused his family to be destroyed, his city to be destroyed, and his country to be ruined.

He must get back all this shame!

"Well, Lao Li, we are now a united front. I want to tell you something. I actually want to make Tristram inhabitable again, so I still have to seal your cathedral first. But I will find someone to open a separate space for you so that your undead army can come out, but not too many, and most of them are your former people. Do you understand me?"

Wu Ye was making a gamble at the moment. He wanted to bet that King Leoric would willingly let himself seal him, and then let him restore Tristram's vitality.

"Hahaha! Funny, really funny. How can such a weak human like you have the guts to tell me this? Do you think I would foolishly wait to be sealed by you? But, you said you can make Tristram habitable again? Are you sure? They won't be afraid of my undead army?"

Hearing this, Wu Ye knew that Old Li had finally compromised! After all, rumors had it that Leoric was a good emperor who loved his people like his own children, and that he had gone mad because of Diablo's mental contamination. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been betrayed.

"I think we can let them accept it slowly. Besides, your undead army is under your control, right? As long as you don't actively harm them, there shouldn't be any problem! Besides, don't I also think I'm a necromancer? Can't I summon skeletons and other things? People nowadays have seen a lot of strange things. They shouldn't be so scared anymore."

The shadow of Leoric in the church suddenly appeared in front of Wu Ye.

"In that case, I'll trust you this time, human. What's your name?"

"My name is Wu Ye! Maybe Lao Li and I can fight side by side in the future! My goal is to sweep through Hell and drive all the demons out of Sanctuary!"

Looking at the Skeleton King in front of him, Wu Ye spoke without any hesitation.

"Old Li...? Wu Ye, right? I forgive your rudeness, and no one has ever called me Old Li. I allow you to call me that. But if I find out that all this is a lie, then you should be prepared to die! By then, all the people in Luoge might be buried with you!"

It seems that King Leoric doesn't care much about the seal, he seems very confident!

"Don't worry! Old Li, I, Wu Ye, always keep my word! By the way, do you have any useful props or anything? I'm afraid I can't defeat that mysterious man!"

Wu Ye suddenly had an idea. Since Lao Li is happy for me to call him Lao Li, then it shouldn't be too much to ask for something between friends, right?

"Don't push your luck, Wu Ye. Go and complete the seal first. I'll have the undead army return to protect Tristram. I won't let anyone else enter Tristram until you get my things back. Don't try to deceive me, because with that little seal you have, you can't stop me at all!"

Wu Ye now understood what it meant to be strong and confident. After all, Kasha had said that even if she faced King Leoric, she wouldn't necessarily be able to escape unscathed. If King Leoric was willing to befriend humans, wouldn't that be a huge guarantee? If Tristram were to recover, neighboring Westmarch would surely know, and Stirling, already under Leoric's control, would also know. At this point, being attacked by others would be more trouble than good. If they knew that King Leoric was willing to protect those here, that would surely be a good thing!

Judging from Leoric's words and actions, there was no need for him to deceive a nobody like him.

Or maybe he's been a skeleton for too long and has no friends? Honestly, Old Li suffered a tragic fate. He was slaughtered by his own men, and neither his wife nor his children survived. Wu Ye remembered that the only person still holding Old Li's bloodline was Adria's daughter, the other Leah. That was the child of the eldest prince, Aidan. Although Aidan had been controlled by Diablo's consciousness at the time, his bloodline was still there.

This is why Leah later became the perfect vessel for Diablo. After all, what could be purer than one's own blood?

But since Wu Ye already knew about it, he would definitely stop it from happening! Besides, Diablo is still in Hell! He should be able to rest easy.

"Hehehe, alright, Lao Li! Thank you for your help. I'll go seal it first. Then I'll go find your lost things for you. A man's word is his bond! I believe that by then many people will be willing to communicate with you! You'll be able to regain people's trust!"

Wu Ye was once again swallowing a torrent of toxic chicken soup. Actually, Wu Ye felt that having one more friend was better than having one more enemy. Even though this friend might be a ticking time bomb, it was better to believe it than not! Now he had no other choice!

Later, with the help of the skeleton wall, Wu Ye climbed up to the cathedral and saw a groove in the bell tower at the top of the cathedral. The groove on the top of the bell tower perfectly matched the seal stone in his hand. Wu Ye finally understood what it meant to go there and understand.

But if the people who come here don’t climb up to take a look, wouldn’t they waste a lot of time down there?

But no one else is coming, so I have to do it myself!

After a flurry of activity, Wu Ye descended from the church. A faint energy shield appeared around the church, covering the entire mountain. It looked like a success. I wonder if it'll have any effect on Old Li.

"Lao Li, I got it!"

Wu Ye shouted into the church, and then a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, which scared Wu Ye.

"Hmph, alright, got it! The seal only weakened my strength a bit, so it's still easy for me to get out. So don't forget what you said!"

Just as Lao Li finished speaking and was about to disappear, Wu Ye remembered something.

"Oh right! Lao Li, do you know Griswold in town?"

Wu Ye suddenly remembered Kane's good friend, the legendary blacksmith Grace Wald.

"Oh? You mean the blacksmith? He hasn't left his shop since I resurrected him. But his consciousness is too strong, and I can't fully control it. Do you want to take him back?"

Unexpectedly, before Wu Ye even opened his mouth, Old Li guessed what he was thinking. He really wanted to take Griswold's body back to Kane for burial.

“I do want to take it back if I can.”

Wu Ye looked at Old Li with a skull face in front of him, and suddenly green ghost fire ignited in Old Li's eye sockets.

"Then just wait!"

The shadow disappeared in an instant, and the next second Grace Walter's body appeared where Lao Li's shadow had just stood.

"Take it. This is proof that I trust you. Well, I'm tired. Please leave!"

King Leoric's shadow vanished as he spoke, and the sense of oppression he had felt on Wu Ye instantly vanished.

"call!!"

Wu Ye was gasping for breath wildly on the spot!

What the hell is this! If Wu Ye remembers correctly, the cathedral is a couple of hours away from the blacksmith shop!? And they brought it to me in a flash?!

At this moment, Wu Ye had a new understanding of power. Just the shadow alone could reach such a level. If he really wanted to kill him, he would have already done it in the town!

Thinking of this, Wu Ye couldn't help but feel a little scared. What could this mean? Was he lucky?

Wu Ye put Griswald's body into his backpack. Then he opened the teleportation scroll and prepared to return to the city. He still had one thing to do: help Lao Li recover his lost property. After all, the two of them could be considered "friends," right?

"Don't worry, Lao Li, I will bring you your lost things next time I come!"

After saying that, Wu Ye stepped into the portal.

"Hmph, interesting human. Not everyone can possess a golden soul... Perhaps you can really do what you said!"

King Leoric supported his chin with one hand and muttered.
