Chapter 139 - 125: The Wolf King Fights to Death, The Final Battle Has Arrived (Bonus Update 30/65)
"The souls of the Undead are protected by the Harvest Goddess, and they are not directly affected. Those Rangers have already offered their loyalty to that lord.
Only a few people have the chance to be controlled by this demonic force again.
Among those I just observed, Luxius’s female disciple seemed to have briefly broken free from the Incubus, but for some unknown reason, she was influenced again.
Now she seemed to be in a relatively rational state; should I say, as expected of Luxius’s genius student?
But that Snow Wolf Clan member is indeed strange. The lord didn’t seem to intend to control her, but judging by how long she has been affected by the demonic force, it has been at least a few months. How did she manage to be influenced by the demonic force for such a long time?"
Chris remained silent for a moment, pondering over the information he had secretly gathered about the Undead recently, then said:
"I heard from those Undead that the lord seemed to have made some potion using the secretion from the Incubus. Could it be the effect of that?"
Bishop Allen thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said:
"That must be it. Now the lord hasn’t yet separated the demonic force from her body. Even if it appears harmless, long-term usage will inevitably have serious consequences.
However, that Lady Knight who is engaged to the lord is quite interesting. She resisted the demonic force with her will.
That’s good. At least when the lord has stored too much demonic force and eventually needs to release the dark side, she can still withstand the influence. As a container, she is qualified.
Let’s go. We’ve seen the lord and fulfilled our wish. Next, we need to go to farther, less noticeable places to spread the lord’s bright and radiant beauty."

Originally thinking they could at least leave to have some fun in the big city, Chris’s face turned bitter.
Alas, he wondered when Bishop Allen would wake up.
Why did he feel like he saw the gloomy future of his own life?
...
At the stall, Elanna suddenly turned her head and sneezed lightly.
Choo!
"Are you feeling unwell?" Kael handed over a folder of tissues.
Elanna shook her head and said, "It’s nothing, just felt like someone was cursing me behind my back."
"Isn’t that the saying of the Undead? How did you pick it up too? Because it makes sense, right? I’m a first-rate cursed swordsman among academy students, not so easy to get sick."
Elanna said with a mischievous smile. She quite liked the feeling of being cared for by Kael.
...
Not far away, Lily, who was also wandering around the market, suddenly remembered the boy’s gentle rejection. Although originally feeling a bit relieved, she now felt even more worried.
"Kael..."
...
In the room, Hassak contentedly finished handling all the posthumous affairs for the young master. Pursing her lips, she savored the lingering taste of happiness in her mouth, with her eyes gleaming with a trance-like light. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Young Master Kael..." she murmured, her ears gradually turning red as she felt her beastly instincts surging again.
...
Unknowingly, more and more Undead who had rushed to the Ranger Camp began setting up temporary tents around the area.
At dawn, as the sun rose, many Rangers, after completing their morning routines, started conducting routine equipment checks.
The sadness from the funeral had somewhat dissipated. The Rangers, akin to the wind, never stayed stuck in the past. Now they were ready, prepared to head to the next battlefield worthy of their struggle.
Just not knowing how many would fall on the path of battle this time.
For Kael, indecision was impossible. With a strong enough heart, though he might feel hurt, he wouldn’t be hindered, harboring weak thoughts in this chaotic world was difficult for survival.
After all, not everyone was an Undead.
With the issuance of a mission order, all players staying at the Ranger Camp received notifications.
...
[Emergency Mission: In a previous battle, Rangers and Undead cooperated to achieve a significant victory.
Now, Lord Kael has discovered the location of the wolf pack and intends to eliminate the threat of the Shadow Wolf pack at its onset.]
[Mission Rewards: A large amount of Level Experience Points and qualifications for learning a zero to second-level skill, numerous qualifications for career transitions]
[Failure Conditions: Wolf pack survival rate higher than 5% or wolf pack not under Lancaster’s control]
[Victory Conditions: Wolf pack survival rate lower than 5% or wolf pack under Lancaster’s control]
At this moment, many unfamiliar faces had appeared within the camp.
The number of players gathered here astonishingly reached tens of thousands, making the Rangers seem like a minority.
The majority of them came from nearby villages. Upon learning about the upcoming final battle, they unhesitatingly chose to rush here overnight.
At the camp gate, Emptymountain stretched lazily, yawned with a tired face, and said to Honeydew beside him, "Today, don’t just rush to your death again."
Honeydew curiously glanced at Emptymountain. Being among the sharper individuals, he naturally noticed that God of Wealth’s attitude towards this girl was somewhat peculiar.
