The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

"Buzz!"

The bone dragon turned around and fled from the volcano that was about to erupt. The Lich King seemed to no longer be interested in the Imperial City. Perhaps he was afraid that the Holy Mountain would really erupt, or he seemed to think that the Imperial City would be swallowed by magma sooner or later, so he prepared to retreat.

Two holy light balls made the army of millions of undead retreat.

The skeleton was slowly disappearing, the old undead's power was dissipating, and Xue Lufen returned to his original appearance, struggling to support himself on a tree.

"See, I told you it would work..." Xue Lufen was still arguing with the old undead at this time.

At this moment, he felt dizzy, as if he had suddenly stood up after squatting for a long time. His entire field of vision was filled with flashing small squares, like a screen that had lost its signal.

"But if the volcano erupts, the imperial capital will not be able to be saved..." The old undead was a pessimist, and he said directly.

"So, didn't you see that the Holy Mountain was only smoking and there was no lava?" Xue Lufeng smiled happily.

The holy light ball exploded the moment it came into contact with the magma, rather than exploding at the bottom of the magma. In that case, the expanding airflow would only compress the volcanic ash and smoke above the magma, and would not cause the magma to erupt.

Therefore, the Holy Mountain looked very terrifying at this time, as if it was about to erupt and destroy the world, but in fact it was just a female ghost with a lot of thunder but little rain, and she only expelled some volcanic ash for him.

This is his plan to save the world!

The old undead was stunned when he heard this. His knowledge of volcanoes was entirely thanks to Golzan. If he were on Earth, he wouldn't even be as good as an elementary school student.

I have no idea what terms like volcanic ash are.

Even the Lich King, a native of this world, is equally illiterate.

When they saw smoke coming out of the volcano, they thought the volcano was about to explode and the god of the holy mountain was about to be angry. In fact, it was just Xue Fa Lun that was emptying the volcano's exhaust gas.

Those dust and waste gases will indeed affect the environment of the entire imperial capital. After all, they produce a large amount of carbon dioxide and sulfide, and volcanic ash will also affect long-term health.

But the undead army has broken through the city walls, and the only price is smelling some exhaust fumes, which is better than becoming an undead.

Moreover, the area covered by volcanic ash is so vast that even the undead dare not set foot there, which is enough to buy the people of the capital some more time.

After Xue finished explaining all his thoughts and ideas, the old ghost was completely stunned.

He never expected that Xue Falu would come up with so many interconnected plans just after seeing the Holy Mountain.

The calculations here shocked this old illiterate person from another world incomparably. Then he thought about the "Ultraman Tiga" he had watched...

Sure enough, that world is the real paradise. In that world, any normal child would be a genius among geniuses in the empire, but this empire is a cesspool, a history of dogs in the history of dogs!

"Old man, this is my last ripple!" Xue Lufen smiled and gave a thumbs up.

In his vision, the flashes and double images caused by dizziness became more and more frequent, and he could hardly see anything.

However, at this moment, a warm hand grabbed him and put him on the shoulder.

It's Pope Alola...

Her mouth kept opening and closing, as if she was saying something anxiously.

But Xue Lufa couldn't hear any sound, it was like watching a pantomime.

"what are you saying?"

Xue Falu fell into a coma.

……

The Paladin leader quickly crushed the last undead, rushed over, helped Xue Lufen up from the other side, and asked, "What happened to him?"

In fact, in the eyes of these priests, there is basically no difference between Xue Fa Lun and the undead.

Vitality rapidly faded, organs failed completely, and death overwhelmed life, just like humans who had been attacked by the undead and then gradually transformed into undead.

However, they are not the waste of the empire, who would do such a beastly act of running away in the face of General Barak's kindness.

The moment he helped Xue Falu up, the Paladin Leader felt the burning heat.

Xue Lufen had a high fever, as if his body had launched an immune factor storm to fight against the erosion of the undead power.

"We must do something, Pope, find a solution quickly!" The words of the Knight Commander made all the clergy come here and surround the place.

"Holy light can dispel the invasion of the undead..." Alola looked at the young man who was living with his grandfather.

He had a dark thought that perhaps as long as he died, his grandfather, General Barak, would break the seal left by the previous Pope. In that case, at least they would have a legendary fighter who could be deployed at any time.

But... she couldn't do it...

The Pope stretched out his hand, and a powerful holy light poured into Xue Lufeng's body, and the holy light began to dispel the invasion of the undead.

However, it was not enough. This was the third time that Xue Law transformed. The accumulated undead eroded all his organs. The Pope's power was like a drop in the bucket and he was defeated.

"I also have holy light!" The Knight Commander laid Xue Luye flat and also infused the power of holy light into Xue Luye's body.

"And my holy light." A cardinal stood up, with a soft light in his hand.

"This is my holy light..." A faint light appeared in the hands of a nun.

"I also have Holy Light..."

"This is my holy light..."

Countless clergy, whether they were paladins, priests, or nuns, all lit up the small light in their hands and passed it to Xue Falu, who was unconscious at the moment.

From a distance, thousands of small balls of light surrounded the unconscious child in the center, dispelling the erosion of the undead on him.

Even though each ray of light is very weak, when they gather together, they are enough to slowly wear away and dispel the legendary undead erosion.

And in the light of everyone, Xue Falun seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

Chapter 19: Pope, You Don’t Want to…

The clergymen’s thoughts are very simple and pure. To them, Xue Falun is their benefactor now.

In the doctrine, whether he caused the wrath of the God-King (volcanic ash) or forced back the army of the undead, he was worthy of being called an "angel".

Even for those who have dedicated their lives to the Holy See, what Xue Lufen did was like an angel walking on earth!

Now that the angels are being eroded by the undead, they will naturally contribute their holy light to help the angels.

This was the simplest thought of people in this medieval era.

……

Looking at this scene, for some reason, the old ghost felt choked up.

Looks like it, really looks like it...

Like the brilliant person he once longed for!

Yes, this child has done the best he can. The disaster in this world has nothing to do with him, and the selfishness of this old man has nothing to do with this child. However, he still chose to abide by the agreement at that time and even exceeded the target.

He has done enough. Now, let him, a remnant of the old times, take over!

……

The undead army retreated, but did not go too far, stopping about 400 kilometers away from the imperial capital.

At this distance, under the control of the Lich King, they can strike the imperial capital in one day and one night. If it weren't for the volcanic ash that looked like black snowflakes, the undead scourge would probably be even closer to the imperial capital.

Xue Lufen had been in a coma for more than ten hours. The old ghost watched as the nuns came to take care of him one after another, and his own time was constantly decreasing.

In 40 hours, he might be dead.

Time is running out, as are we all.

This time, it was his granddaughter Alola who came. The Pope simply changed Xue Lufen's body into a cooling silk cloth, and then a ball of holy light appeared in her hand.

This is also what every priest does, using their own holy light to dispel the undead erosion in Xue Luye's body.

At least this way, the hero's physical condition can be stabilized.

"Alola..." This time, the voice of the old undead came.

"Grandpa Barak?" The Pope looked at Xue Lufen and heard another voice.

In Xue Law's dire condition, the old undead couldn't even just show a holographic-like shadow, because doing so would still consume Xue Law's limited vitality.

"Yes, let's have a serious chat... It started from five days ago when I appeared in another world..." The old undead seemed to have given in, and slowly told everyone what he had seen.

He talked about everything he saw on Blue Star, talked about Xue Lufen's family affairs, and talked about their training, their quarrels, and their battles of wits and courage.

It talked about the Ultraman story that the old ghost saw, and regarded Dagu as his most important spiritual sustenance...

The old ghost spoke very slowly, like an extremely old man telling a young child stories about his youth.

Finally, he talked about all the calculations and settings that Xue's Law had set up to drive away the undead.

He used up all his remaining strength to squeeze out the volcanic ash from the holy mountain, thus arousing the fear of the undead.

This method is not even a one-time thing, but can be replicated. Every time the undead army attacks the capital, the exact same method can be used to drive away the undead army.

In this way, perhaps we can buy the empire some time and seize that little bit of hope.

The old undead finished saying everything, and the Pope just listened silently, the holy light in her hand continuously pouring into Xue Lufen's body, which was like a bottomless abyss.

"So, Grandpa, do you still want me to go to that world?" After listening, Allura slowly asked this question.

"Yes." The old undead did not hide his intentions at all.

"Alola, promise me, go to that world. I know you want to give the last humans in the empire hope of survival, but you are my last relative... Just think of it as doing it for me, for the Barak family..."

"Alola, as long as you go to another world, grandpa will stay in the imperial capital and fight the Lich King to the death to block it from this last land." The old undead's tone was filled with pleading and threats.

"Also, just think of it as this child. He's willing to go this far for the empire and us, a place he has nothing to do with. Now, his bones have been invaded by the power of the undead. Letting you go is not only so he can take care of you, but also to give this child a final resting place!"

The old ghost understood that his granddaughter was just like himself when he was young, who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones. If he forced her, it would definitely have the opposite effect, so he finally decided to let her go by sacrificing himself to stay.

This is not enough. They shamelessly use moral kidnapping and Xue's Law to force Alola to leave this cesspool-like world based on faith and doctrine.

If the old undead threatened and forced the Pope as he did before, Alola would definitely not agree.

But the old undead first used his own stay in the empire as a bargaining chip, and then used Xue Law's physical condition to deliver the final blow to break through her psychological defenses.

As the person who took care of Xue Lufen the most that day, Alola already knew how bad Xue Lufen's health was.

The power of the undead is spread throughout almost every organ. If it is not suppressed by holy light, it will directly begin to irreversibly transform into undead.

If he were allowed to go home like this, it would be no different from killing him. Within five years at most, Xue Lufen would be completely undead, and even cause an undead disaster in another world.

Endless guilt and gratitude tormented the Pope all the time. If the hero who sacrificed himself to save the imperial capital ended up like this, the Pope felt that he would only feel at peace if he drew his sword and committed suicide.

In fact, for the current Holy See and even the people of the entire imperial capital, Xue Lufen is like a real angel who has come to earth. The kindness of this hero from another world can never be repaid in this lifetime.

"Alola, you don't want to see the hero who saved the world die tragically under the erosion of the undead power for the rest of his life, right?"

The old undead spirit learned this sentence from somewhere, which became the final sprint to break through the Pope's psychological defenses.

She closed her eyes silently and said, "Grandpa, let's make a contract..."

"I will protect this hero from another world until the end of my life." The Pope solemnly swore an oath in front of her only parent.

Because she also knew that staying to resist the Lich King with her mediocre skills would be just waiting for death, and perhaps it would only add another female skeleton to the future undead army.

The undead Barak is the one who really has a chance to kill the Lich King, although the chance is very slim.

"But at the same time, Grandpa, you need to do your best to protect the remaining people, even if there is only one person left..."

The Pope's pupils were filled with determination.

She paid the price of becoming a deserter, but in return she gained a truly legendary strongman, and brought hope to the last people of the empire.

A hope that humans can defeat the undead plague and live under the blue sky again.

Chapter 20 Duel at Sunset

Even if the world is a shithole.

But this is also the cesspool where she was born and raised.

For countless days and nights, they had imagined what the world would look like after defeating the undead plague, and envisioned a bright future.

Perhaps this pope, who was forced to take the pontificate temporarily, will resign and become a cattle farmer, busy every day harvesting pumpkins and milking cows...

But such a peaceful future is just wishful thinking.

"The contract is established..." The old undead finally smiled.

Goodbye, Alora, take the last hope of the Barak family and leave this cesspool.

Leave this cesspool with no future, no hope, no light...
