233: Counter-kill

“An interdimensional space?”

The four Undead experts exchanged glances.

For an interdimensional space to exist within the Netherworld, it must have been created by an incredibly powerful being.

“The Abomination is too large to enter. If only we go in, we might fall into that kid’s trap.”

“Indeed, it’s best if we wait until that kid’s burst of power subsides before we explore.”

The Undead were thrilled; this time, they could not only kill that kid and complete their mission but also gain an interdimensional space.

The Abomination didn’t stay in the Netherworld. In that short time, the lower half of his body had already atrophied a circle.

It was false to say he wasn't afraid of the Netherworld water; his thick HP was the real reason he could withstand it.

A teleportation array appeared, and the Abomination, unable to vent his resentment, could only return.

After the Lich King sent the Abomination back, his Soul fire dimmed slightly.

For summoners, there are various summoning methods.

Similar to a Life Contract, this method doesn't require the summoner's power to sustain the summon, and the battle pet stays by the summoner's side. However, the positions for such Contracts are limited. The Bone Dragon under the Lich King's command is one of his Life Battle Pets.

Beyond that, there's temporary summoning via magic. This type of summoning requires a lot of power to maintain, and prior negotiation with the summoned entity is necessary; if they agree to come, the goal can be achieved. The Abomination arrived in the Netherworld through this type of summoning.

However, this method is very costly, requiring a lot of power to sustain the summoned entity. Otherwise, if the Star Power supply is cut off, the summoned beast will return to its original plane.

There's also forced magical summoning, which can only be used on targets weaker than oneself and also requires Star Power to maintain.

The Abomination is powerful, and summoning him consumes a tremendous amount of energy. The Lich King felt completely drained. Moreover, he paid a considerable price to summon the Abomination.

“My losses this time are too great; you need to compensate me,” the Lich King said coldly.

The other three Undead looked around, trying to muddle through with vague replies.

“If I hadn’t summoned the Abomination, everyone would have died long ago. Besides, the exploration of this interdimensional space will require my help. Are you sure you can enter the Netherworld on your own?” the Lich King sneered.

The other three exchanged glances. Indeed, their Undead HP was very low, and they couldn't withstand the Netherworld water at all.

Most Undead creatures have low HP, though there are exceptions like the Abomination.

“Alright, we’ll compensate you.”

......

Lin Ye lay sprawled on the ground of the Inheritance Land, feeling weaker than he ever had before.

His first entry here was indeed bad, but it was far from as bad as this time. This time, it wasn't just physical damage but also the loss of his origin. The side effects of Origin Liberation were severe; if Lin Ye hadn't been a clone, he wouldn't have dared to activate Origin Burning.

After his origin was burned, the clone's foundation was damaged, and the vessel for his split Soul was also affected to some extent. It might take a long time to recover.

After chugging a pile of potions, Lin Ye activated his Dream skill. With ample energy supply, his physical body slowly began to recover, and even the burned origin was recovering at an extremely slow pace.

Lin Ye knew that the other side had an Abomination and would find him sooner or later, so he needed to recover a certain level of combat power as quickly as possible to prepare for the future.

......

Meanwhile, the four Undead, after compensating the Lich King, waited for a while longer to ensure Lin Ye’s burst period had ended before preparing to enter the Inheritance Ground.

Isolating the Netherworld water was very difficult. The corrosive ability of Netherworld water on energy was much stronger than its ability to corrode matter. So, the Lich King chose to summon a disgusting, highly corrosive, stomach-shaped Undead creature.

The four Undead crawled into the stomach, and then the Lich King controlled the stomach to sink.

The stomach wasn't very strong. Before sinking two-thirds of the way, a hole was corroded through it, and Netherworld water began to pour in.

“Lich King, are you reliable?” The other three spirits were a bit anxious.

“No problem, no problem, just be careful.”

The Undead carefully avoided the Netherworld water.

But good times didn’t last long. As more and more holes appeared, the water inside the stomach gradually submerged the Undead.

“Now it’s every man for himself.”

The Lich King took the lead, rushing out of the stomach and swimming towards the Inheritance Ground. The other three Undead cursed under their breath but also frantically swam inwards.

The Netherworld water was highly corrosive to them, but fortunately, the distance wasn't far, and the Undead entered the Inheritance Ground with relatively minor losses.

After they entered, before they could even react, a massive Dragon Claw already enveloped them.

But they were prepared. An Undead Knight raised his shield, intending to block Lin Ye’s attack.

“Something’s wrong.” The Undead Knight’s expression changed drastically. The moment the Dragon Claw landed on his shield, an attack power far exceeding Lin Ye’s previous attacks emerged.

Fusion, Dragon Transformation. To break the situation, Lin Ye teleported Little White from his main body.

After Little White’s bloodline was fully enhanced, their Fusion was already comparable to the Liberation state. It was just that Lin Ye was very cautious, fearing that an Undead Monarch might be secretly lurking in the corners outside, so he didn't expose Little White.

Little White was not like a clone; if she died, she would be truly dead.

But now, with the four Undead having entered the Inheritance Space, he wasn't afraid anymore.

Although weakened by the Liberation state, the Dragon God Claw, even when fused with Little White, was not as powerful as the Liberation state, but after releasing two clones, its power was still terrifying.

This unlucky Undead Knight was instantly killed before he could even react.

The other three Undead were greatly alarmed.

“Not good, this kid was playing weak to lure us.”

“Damn it, we fell for it.”

“Didn’t he use a burst skill? Why is he perfectly fine now?”

The three Undead felt that Lin Ye’s appearance exceeded their understanding.

The Screaming Banshee, who reacted the fastest, didn’t look back, drilled out of the Inheritance Ground, and frantically fled, enduring the severe corrosion of the Netherworld water.

The Lich King and the other Undead Knight cursed under their breath. Damn it, if the Screaming Banshee hadn’t left, they would still have a chance to fight, but now there was no way.

So, the two of them didn't dare to linger either, and before Lin Ye’s next attack arrived, they drilled out of the Inheritance Ground.

“Trying to escape?”

Lin Ye’s eyes were filled with a dangerous glint.

The exposure of the Inheritance Land was not good news for him, so he wanted to silence them.

Lin Ye drilled out of the Inheritance Ground and cautiously looked around. There seemed to be no massive Abomination figure. He breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed that such a powerful creature, far exceeding the Lich King's strength, probably couldn't be summoned for long, and it turned out to be true.

Above him, the three Undead were enduring the severe corrosion of the Netherworld water, fleeing for their lives.

But when it came to swimming, how could a group of Undead compare to Lin Ye after Dragon Transformation? Lin Ye was as agile as a fish in the Netherworld water. He first targeted the Lich King.

As the one who summoned the Abomination, the Lich King was a major threat. Moreover, in the Netherworld water, energy was ineffective, and only the physical body could function. As a mage, the Lich King’s physical body was weak, making him the easiest to kill.
