Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Immediately afterwards, Moros summoned the Ghost Dragon and rode it swiftly towards the latest location of the Herrscher of the Void, provided by the mayor of Fuyuan City.

　Despite the Allied Forces' request to begin their retreat, thanks to the advanced technology of human society on this planet, which far surpasses that of Earth, they were still able to pinpoint the location of the Herrscher of the Void.

　If it weren't for the fact that the Herrscher of the Void, who wields the power of space, is so effective against modern armies that primarily use missiles and artillery shells for attack, human civilization might have been able to defeat this divine apostle on its own, based solely on this information control capability.

　Upon approaching the battlefield, Moros easily spotted the Herrscher of the Void floating in the air, who was currently commanding the Honkai Beast Legion and heading towards the nearest city on the Mu Continent.

　This apostle of God bears a striking resemblance to Sirin from the post-civilization era, but as a Herrscher from the pre-civilization era, his power far surpasses Sirin's level when he first became the Herrscher of the Void.

　In Moros's perception, this Herrscher of the Void who had already sensed the existence of the Ghost Dragon was undoubtedly a genuine legendary-level powerhouse.

　It's going to be a tough battle!

　Moros sighed inwardly.

　Meanwhile, the new treasure he had acquired during his flight—the [War Shackles]—had already activated automatically.

　【War Shackles】: Prevents both yourself and the enemy from retreating from the battlefield.

　It was precisely because of this special treasure purchased from the [Treasure Merchant] that Moros was confident in keeping this apostle of the god who was looking at him with hatred.

　Moros has not yet been transformed into a vampire; he is still a genuine human. Therefore, he is naturally the target of the Herrscher of the Void's revenge.

　"Humans! Die!"

　The Herrscher of the Void's cold voice rang out.

　Although He was puzzled by the human riding the ghost dragon—Moros—it was easy to guess how the Herrscher of the Void would react since he was human.

　As the Herrscher of the Void finished speaking, countless Void Spears, mixed with orange and yellow colors, shot towards the direction where Ghost Dragon was located.

　At the same time, Moros's [Magic Arrow] was also fired at the Herrscher of the Void.

　Once activated, the "War Shackles" means that only one side of the opposing forces can leave the battlefield alive.

　In this situation, Moros would certainly use magic decisively, rather than spouting nonsense for no reason.

　Sensing the threat posed by the blue energy arrow that Moros had shot at her, the Herrscher of the Void dared not be careless. She manipulated a portion of the Void Spear to meet the [Magic Arrow] head-on, attempting to intercept it.

　then……

　"boom!"

Chapter 122 The Exploratory Phase

　Seeing that the [Magic Arrow] could not hit the Herrscher of the Void due to the interception of the Void Spear, Moros made a decisive move and detonated the blue energy arrow in advance, releasing its full power in an instant.

　The Herrscher of the Void is indeed formidable.

　Standing atop the Ghost Dragon's head, Moros gazed solemnly at the proud figure of the Herrscher of the Void standing tall in the distant sky.

　As a legendary necromancer, he could clearly sense that the explosion of the [Magic Arrow], although powerful, only destroyed one-third of the Void Spear.

　The remaining Void Spears, under the control of the Herrscher of the Void, quickly returned to their imaginary state, dodging the explosion of the energy arrows, and continued to approach him and the Ghost Dragon.

　These were only the Void Spears manipulated by the Herrscher of the Void to intercept the [Magic Arrow]; many more Void Spears were already within a hundred meters of Moros and the Ghost Dragon beneath his feet.

　With the speed of the Void Spear, such a short distance can be covered in an instant.

　However, to the Herrscher of the Void's surprise, within this short distance of a hundred meters, the Void Spear she fired suddenly lost the propulsion of the imaginary state and could not continue to move forward.

　Now that it's clear that they're going to deal with the Herrscher of the Void, Moros will naturally make preparations in advance.

　In addition to the [War Shackles] equipped to prevent the Herrscher of the Void from escaping using spatial powers, Morros also cleverly adjusted the spatial parameters around himself based on his newly learned knowledge of Spatial Science.

　This altered spatial region is not visible in reality, but it acts like a spherical barrier, blocking all spatial teleportation, the imaginary spear of the subspace, and other space-related actions.

　Of course, if the Herrscher of the Void is willing to increase the investment in Honkai energy, this artificially created spatial disorder field is not insurmountable.

　However, for the Void Spear, which only deals ordinary attacks, this barrier is an insurmountable wall of sighs, preventing them from advancing any further.

　"Tsk, it's really troublesome..."

　Realizing that the Void Spear in its imaginary state could not advance further, the Herrscher of the Void had no choice but to transform it back into a physical form and continue her attack.

　The Herrscher of the Void was not surprised that her attack patterns had been figured out by her opponent.

　In the previous war, He...

　It's normal that someone who frequently uses the Spear of Subspace might have their secrets exposed by those who are interested.

　As the Herrscher of the Void had anticipated, once the Spears of the Void transformed into physical forms, they regained their momentum to move forward.

　Seeing the Void Spear charge forward again, the Herrscher of the Void's lips curled up slightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

　In His eyes, even the Spear of the Void in its physical form was difficult for Moros to withstand.

　"Even in a real number state, how can you intercept my Void Spear?"

　The Herrscher of the Void muttered to herself, her voice revealing disdain for Moros.

　Unfortunately, things didn't go as she expected.

　Previously, when the Spear of Subspace was in an imaginary state, Moros could only rely on his rudimentary understanding of space to create a region of spatial disorder in order to deal with it.

　But once the Spear of the Void transforms into a physical form, he will have plenty of ways to intercept these attacks from the apostles of God.

　【Ice Rings in the Dead of Winter】!

　Accompanied by intense magical fluctuations, a dazzling ice-blue magical ring rapidly spread from the Ghost Dragon's center to a spherical area with a radius of 100 meters.

　All the Void Spears touched by this icy blue magical ring were instantly frozen into solid blocks of ice, and then, under the influence of the planet's gravity, they all fell toward the ground.

　"impossible!"

　This unexpected scene astonished the Herrscher of the Void, who could not believe that her attack had been so easily neutralized.

　It should be noted that, in the Herrscher of the Void's understanding, the power of the Void Spear is enough to pierce the frontal armor of the most advanced main battle tanks on the Mu Continent.

　While the Herrscher of the Void was still in shock and disbelief, Moros launched another attack.

　He chanted an esoteric incantation in a low voice, and a powerful magical force quickly condensed into form.

　[Thunderbolt and Lightning!]

　Amidst a deafening roar of thunder, a thick bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, carrying earth-shattering power, and struck directly at the Herrscher of the Void's imaginary barrier.

　"Damn ants!"

　Enraged by Moros's attack, the Herrscher of the Void let out a furious growl.

　Without hesitation, He opened the imaginary channel, preparing to introduce the lightning into the imaginary space.

　He has extensive experience dealing with attacks with such obvious trajectories and is confident that he can easily defuse them.

　But would Moros let Him have His way so easily?

　He was aware of the Herrscher of the Void's methods and had already made preparations to deal with them.

　As Moros's thoughts shifted, dozens of [Airelemental] were summoned around the Herrscher of the Void.

　[Summon Elementals]!

　As soon as these wind elementals appeared, they flew toward the Herrscher of the Void at an astonishing speed.

　Moros presented the Herrscher of the Void with a difficult problem: she had to choose between dealing with the wind element's attack and opening the Imaginary Path.

　If He chooses to open the imaginary channel, then the wind elemental attacks will fall on His imaginary barrier.

　If He chooses to counter the attack of the wind element, then Moros's lightning will strike the imaginary barrier directly.

　"Human, you have utterly enraged me!"

　The Herrscher of the Void roared in fury, her voice filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Moros.

　Faced with Moros's meticulously designed attack strategy, He could no longer regard this necromancer as an insignificant ant.

　Therefore, the Herrscher of the Void unleashed the full power of the Imaginary Channel without reservation, allowing layers upon layers of imaginary space to completely cover all possible angles of attack.

　These imaginary channels isolate the Herrscher of the Void from the outside world; any attack that attempts to approach Her will be sucked into these channels and disappear into the boundless imaginary space.

　The Herrscher of the Void believed that as long as she could keep the Imaginary Channel open, Moros's attacks would not be able to reach her.

　After all, this is a "truth" that the Mughal military has verified with countless manpower and resources.

　Just as I suspected, all my efforts were in vain...

　Moros watched as the wind elements and the lightning bolts disappeared into the imaginary passage, his face remaining expressionless.

　He had anticipated this outcome and was not surprised in the slightest.

　If the Herrscher of the Void could be dealt with so easily, how could He have forced the human society on this planet to submit to such harsh conditions He set?

　"Let's stop this probing."

　Moros murmured to himself, his gaze drifting into the distance.

　There, layers upon layers of imaginary passages completely concealed the Herrscher of the Void's petite figure.

　Driven by the will of the Herrscher of the Void, the Honkai Beasts are surging menacingly toward the direction of the Ghost Dragon.

　Yes, despite the intensity of the previous battles, they were essentially just a probing phase before the real battle.

Chapter 123 Legion Battlefield

　[Curse of Weakness]!

　[The Delay Technique]!

　The Curse of Rot!

　……

　After the previous probing, Moros had determined that, given his spellcasting skill, those attack trajectories...

　There's not much that can be done against the more obvious destructive magic, especially against the Second Herrscher of the Void.

　Therefore, he made a quick decision, adjusted his tactics, and instead used dark magic to gradually weaken the opponent's power.

　Only when the Herrscher of the Void gradually shows signs of fatigue under the continuous erosion of dark magic will Moros launch a truly deadly offensive.

　At that moment, a colossal, dark blue vortex appeared in the void behind the Ghost Dragon.

　It stretches across the heavens and earth, slowly rotating, as if connecting to another mysterious world.

　In fact, this dark blue vortex is the passage connecting the demiplane where the cemetery city is located.

　The Herrscher of the Void is a true legendary figure. When fighting to the death with this divine apostle who wields the power of space, any external interference could become a fatal threat.

　Therefore, he opened this demiplane portal and summoned the undead legion to deal with the Honkai Beast legion that was attacking him under the will of the Herrscher of the Void.

　As the vortex slowly rotated, a vast army of undead surged out like a tidal wave, its power shaking the heavens and making the entire battlefield tremble.

　This time, the undead army that surged out of the demiplane portal was far more formidable than the small, limited force on the battlefield of Newco City.

　At this moment, the seventh-tier unit—the Ghost Dragon, these powerful undead creatures standing at the pinnacle of the Necropolis unit system—were seen flying out continuously from the demiplane portal.

　They were enveloped in a black mist formed from dense death magic, making them appear mysterious and majestic.

　Among these majestic undead dragons, tens of thousands of bats flitted and danced, together with even more translucent monsters—wraiths—forming the Necropolis faction's formidable aerial combat power.

　Meanwhile, preparations for battle on the ground were equally impressive.

　Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, the knightly order, composed entirely of fear knights, formed a tight wedge formation. They were covered in enchanted armor, riding skeletal warhorses, ready to cut through the Honkai Beast Legion's ground forces at any moment.

　On the flank of the Knights of Fear is the main melee force, composed of the level 6 Necropolis unit, the Reaper.

　Holding massive enchanted scythes, they stood in neat square formations, like an impregnable fortress, ready to meet the fierce onslaught of the Honkai Beasts.

　The high liches, dressed in white robes, gathered together, spread out their magic books, raised their staffs, and began chanting eerie and unsettling incantations.

　Clearly, these undead spellcasters are preparing to unleash a combined spell to provide powerful magical support for the entire undead army.

　Beside them, 24 Mk. Continental 155mm howitzers were lined up in a row.

　These war machines, acquired from the blacksmith at great expense of Ashan gold, will prove their worth in this battle.

　As for the skeleton archers and plague zombies, they have already made contact with the Honkai Beast Legion.

　Although they pose a limited threat to the elite Honkai Beasts directly under the Herrscher, as cannon fodder (crossed out) basic combat force of the undead army, they will do their best to inflict some damage on the Honkai Beast army, creating favorable combat conditions for the subsequent main force to engage in battle.

　Since both the Honkai Beast Legion and the Undead Legion are excellent legions that will carry out orders from their commanders without fail, the intensity of this battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch the moment the two sides clashed.

　Above the sky, nearly a hundred [Patrol-class Honkai Beasts] resembling giant whales opened their massive mouths, releasing hundreds of [Shuttle-class Honkai Beasts] like a group of whales spouting water. The scene was spectacular and awe-inspiring, leaving everyone speechless.

　At the same time, thousands of [Winged Honkai Beasts] covered the sky like dark clouds, and the Honkai energy missiles they fired poured down like dense raindrops, swallowing up the originally bright sky.

　This is still a relatively uncommon Honkai Beast. In this Honkai Beast legion directly under the Herrscher of the Void, there are many more elite rush-class Honkai Beasts such as super-rush-class, ice assault beast, and purple and white twins.
