Chapter 457 - 317: I, Yamata no Orochi, Have Surrendered; Do As You Please~_2
In the end, the Aging Curse weakened the Legendary BOSS, and with the knight’s brigade charge reaping, as long as Orochi could be prevented from escaping, it was just a matter of time before it was killed.
In the midst of battle, if not for the presence of a group of ghosts, Orochi wouldn’t have been able to rampage unchecked and would have been suppressed and hammered long ago.
And as the ghosts were besieged and cut down one by one by the undead army, the scales of victory rapidly tipped.
As Legendary BOSSes, how could Orochi and Yuki-onna fail to see what was happening?
But they were helpless, the enemy didn’t fight fair, immediately sealing the space and confining them to this tiny world, followed by a relentless beating.
A siege by seven thousand fearless Spectral Dragon Lord Bosses was already outrageous enough.
To make matters worse, there was an evolved unit of the Dark Knight Legion reaping wildly, the Wraith Mage magic group singling out targets for strong kills, the Blood Race forces harassing and ambushing, not to mention the Legendary BOSS and many Epic BOSSes summoned by the enemy.
If they couldn’t beat them, they just couldn’t. Moreover, these ghosts had just escaped from their seal and hadn’t had time to recover to their peak condition.
Feeling wronged, they could only wait to die a slow death.
What was even more outrageous was that some ghosts were shouting their willingness to surrender, willing to sign a servant contract with the Necromancer and be beasts of burden from then on, and yet the other side ignored them completely, clearly intent on finishing them off.
Is this a joke?
These were Fourth-Order strength ghosts, with no shortage of Epic BOSSes among those who were offering to surrender. Such immense combat power being rejected, what benefit was there in killing them?
Even with eight heads, Orochi couldn’t figure out what great benefits Zi Liyuan would obtain by killing them.
Was it just for the equipment and various items and materials that might drop?
Were those things as useful as the combat power of an Epic BOSS?
While struggling, Orochi scanned the battlefield, especially when it saw a pile of shiny golden items explode from a Lord Boss level spectre that had just been killed nearby.
With eight large heads and sixteen vertical-pupil snake eyes, it suddenly constricted.
Something was not right!
Things were way too wrong!
Especially after seeing the recently slain Lord Boss drop four golden orbs, eight silver orbs, dozens of blue orbs, and hundreds of green orbs.
Not only was the drop rate absurdly high, but the quality of the items dropped was also outrageously high!
After scanning the battlefield several times and finding the drops from the killed to be abnormal, particularly feeling the dozens of layers of Aging Curses stacked upon itself.
Orochi finally discovered the problem and began to concentrate its inner strength, ready to sacrifice its life force and blood essence to break through the dimension of the Secret Realm and forcefully escape!
Eight different elements converged to the middle, gathering in the mouth of one serpentine head, then exploded out with a roar.
At the same time, its eight tails swept ferociously around, temporarily forcing back the surrounding enemies.
The mixed and overlapping power of the eight elements was utterly terrifying.
A pillar of energy glistening with rainbow light struck right in front of Orochi, shattering the Secret Realm.
As the energy pillar continued to output, the collapsing spatial barriers, like a spiderweb of glass smashed by a hammer, rapidly expanded in all directions.
And in just the blink of an eye, what was the size of a fist became a several-meters-large hole.
"Trying to run? Leave it behind!"
The Spirit had always been locked onto Orochi, and when it saw the beast trying to break the spatial barrier of the miniature dimensional Secret Realm,
it immediately knew that Orochi was trying to escape.
Zi Liyuan almost instinctively took out five Fourth-Order Space Seal Scrolls, activated them with Spiritual Power, and threw them at Orochi.
The blue spatial elements, like lighthouses illuminating the night, almost instantly flowed into the Secret Realm.
The spatial barriers that had been continuously breaking began to forcefully repair and restore themselves.
Orochi: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻MMP!!!
Just when it was about to succeed, that damned Necromancer, again using the scrolls dishonorably, and even tossing out five at once!
Its mouth’s energy discharge, due to the lack of follow-up energy, had to stop after continuing for 15 seconds.
But at this moment, Orochi’s heart had sunk to the bottom, and a sense of despair arose.
Especially when it saw Yuki-onna below, being battered to the point of imminent collapse, about to be finished off at any moment.
"I surrender! I am willing to become your contracted mystical beast, to become your servant!"
If you can’t beat them, join them!
What is a face?
Can it save your life?
Damn it! After being sealed for thousands of years, I finally get out, only to face death immediately; how could I possibly be willing?
Better to live shamelessly than die honorably, at worst I can find a way to kill my master later!
Orochi’s eight heads opened wide, its voice overshadowing all the noises of the battlefield.
It was this declaration of surrender that brought the fighting battlefield to a sudden halt, as if the pause button had been hit, and all became eerily silent, almost to the point you could hear a pin drop.
The ghosts, who had been fiercely resisting just moments ago, flew behind Orochi without a second word, very obediently indicating they too were willing to surrender.
If their own boss had given in, what hesitation could there be?
To not surrender meant death, but surrender might offer a slim chance of survival.
All these ancient creatures had escaped their seals after thousands of years; a wonderful life was beckoning them, who the hell wanted to die at a time like this?
Since the boss had surrendered, they as minions naturally had to closely follow his lead, right?
A crowd of ghosts, glancing at the corpses of their dead companions, along with the various pieces of equipment, items, and materials scattered on the ground, were very sincere in selling themselves, even ready to help their new master count his money.
"How many spirits have been absorbed?"
Zi Liyuan narrowed his eyes and quietly asked his No. 2.
"Thirty-two, still lacking 76 Fourth-Order Epic Boss main spirits."
No. 2 responded in a similarly soft voice.
The Blood River Demonic Soul Evil Formation requires consuming the spirits of one million Fourth-Order creatures; the formation flags, refined by No. 2, totaled to one hundred and eight main spirit flags.
Each main spirit flag required a main spirit to be infused into it to exert the full power of the entire evil formation.
The main spirits sitting in the flags were naturally better if they were of higher quality.
Within Blue Star, Epic Bosses were the obvious choice, because Legendary Bosses were too rare and precious unless one ventured into the deep sea to provoke the sea creatures.
On land, it was extremely difficult to collect one hundred and eight Legendary Boss spirits.
Otherwise, Li Fengwen would not have delayed until now without managing to use Legendary Bosses for alchemy.
Even with the intelligence network of the four great royal families and the entire network of the Great Xia Empire, no news of Legendary Bosses had been discovered within the Great Xia Empire, and they had to go to Tokyo to snatch them.
This goes to show how rare Legendary Bosses are within Blue Star.
"Hold, for now, kill and devour the souls for blood if these ghosts don’t obey."
"Alright."
Although somewhat reluctant to let these ghosts off, these ghosts were all Fourth-Order Bosses, among them a bunch of Epic Bosses. If they really obediently became her husband’s servants, the added combat power would be substantial.
So No. 2 was not in a rush. Epic Bosses are not hard to find.
Moreover, in the volcano, pursued by the Magma Fire Dragon, there are no less than eight million ghosts, among them plenty of Epic Bosses.
"Seal your powers obediently, then line up one by one, waiting for me to make the contract!"
Zi Liyuan gestured to Ying Xueji and Li Fengwen, then spoke out directly.
The initial plan had been to kill Orochi and Yuki-onna, preserve their bodies, and then use the "Resurrection" skill to revive them.
Then have these two Legendary Bosses command the ghosts outside and bring about an undead disaster upon Tokyo.
Now that Orochi and its group of ghosts had surrendered, the original plan could still be accomplished. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that the undead army stopped attacking and even cleared a path, Orochi secretly breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling a certain frustration.
However, it did not dare to play any tricks and obediently landed on the ground, pressing its eight heads to the ground in a show of submission.
There was no choice; the Legendary Spider Queen, armed with two huge knives, was eyeing it predatorily from the side.
