The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Countless paladins and priests rode on unicorns.

Rows of unicorns leaped down from the nearly ten-meter-high city wall, and hundreds of paladins followed the charge of the skeletal demons, rushing towards the enormous undead beast that resembled a windmill!

This time, there were no deserters, no retreats.

This was the Lich King's plan to exterminate humanity, and also humanity's desperate counterattack when the Lich King was alone!

Fight! Charge!

The skeletal demon went straight for the Lich King atop the bone dragon, ignoring the other undead behemoths around it. This was a battle between kings, a slaughter of monsters!

The nearly ten-meter-long skeletal demon sword unleashed terrifying sword energy, severing the bone dragon's body at the waist and forcing the Lich King off its throne.

As other undead behemoths in the vicinity prepared to join the battle, the charging paladins raised their two-handed warhammers and, using the momentum of their warhorses, smashed them hard into the undead behemoths' ankles and calves!

"Roar!" Several undead behemoths had their ankles or knees smashed, losing their balance and unable to help the Lich King who was still fighting. In fact, the Lich King had to distract himself from controlling them and was almost cut in half by Xue Dinglu, who kept wielding his magic sword.

Similarly, the Lich King was also enraged.

After all, on paper, the Lich King is at least twice as strong as the undead Barak, but right now he is being overwhelmed by the skeletal demon that Xue Dinglu has transformed into.

In addition, given its previous experience of being taken down by General Barak, the Lich King unleashed waves of terrifying necromancy, leaving Xue Dinglu's skeleton riddled with holes.

"Holy Judgement!"

The High Priestess roared angrily in her clear voice, and the holy light spear she shot pierced through the Lich King's shoulder. Not only that, the other paladins who were free to do so also chanted, and countless holy light spears rained down on the Lich King like arrows.

Xue Dinglu turned around and saw that some of the paladins were even able to help him while holding off the undead behemoth.

"Insect!"

The Lich King seemed enraged. He freed his hands to command the undead behemoths, but in the instant he was distracted, the Dragon Sword, with the force of a falling sky, descended from the heavens and struck his shoulder, slamming him into the ground like a tennis ball.

The volcanic ash that spewed up blotted out the sun.

"My dragon-riding technique will never fail again!"

The Lich King suffered a setback, which boosted the morale of his side. The paladins halted the advance of the undead behemoths, and Xue Luding's skeletal demons briefly suppressed the Lich King.

"You're courting death!" the Lich King roared.

The next moment, the surging sonic boom cloud dispersed the smoke and dust. When Xue Luding reacted and turned to the side, it was as if he had been hit in the shoulder by a cannonball. His entire left scapula and the surrounding bone armor were completely shattered, and his huge skeletal arm also crashed to the ground.

"Supersonic...bone spear!" Xue Dinglu immediately realized what had just happened.

The situation reversed instantly.

"Boy, get into close combat! Don't give that old corpse time to cast spells!" the old undead's voice rang out.

Xue Dinglu immediately broke away to engage in combat, and his severed left arm continued to grow back under the power of the old undead. In less than ten breaths, the skeletal arm that had just been severed grew back again.

The Lich King's desiccated body, cleaved in two by the demonic sword, gradually began to recover.

“Boy, it’s immortal! If you don’t crush its soul fire, any wounds you inflict will heal in a very short time. Even if you destroy its soul fire, the Lich King can still slowly resurrect over the next few years.”

"It is no longer a 'living thing' in the traditional sense; it is a natural disaster, a calamity that cannot be solved no matter what."

"The only thing that could possibly seal it is a legendary divine spell, but with the death of the former pope, that's no longer possible."

"Perhaps you still have a chance to be saved. I'll send you and Alora away, and I'll stay behind to hold off the Lich King. As fellow undead, I can hold him off for decades, even centuries!"

Even now, the old ghost still hasn't given up on persuading Xue Luding to escape with his granddaughter.

But Xue's law ignored it.

Because his body had already begun to irreversibly become undead.

Perhaps, the future might be a storyline where the undead Xue Lude bravely ventures into another world, and he builds the Great Tomb of Nazarick and becomes the Bone King—an "what if" scenario.

But at this moment, Xue Daolu only had this incomprehensible old mummy in his eyes!

"Boom!" Amidst the bombardment of the giant beast in the distance, several paladins were accidentally blasted dozens of meters away, their fates unknown.

Meanwhile, the battles between monsters on the other side seemed to have no end in sight, with no clear winner or loser.

"Xue boy! Let's go! Why are you fighting to the death against an ultimate monster that you can't possibly beat!" Old Barak's roar almost pierced Xue's eardrums.

Xue's Law laughed.

The skeletal demon's greatsword clung tightly to the Lich King, denying him a chance to cast spells.

In the space of consciousness, Xue Dinglu sat smiling in front of the old undead and said, "Old Deng, just like Daigo, I also really want to say something cool like 'There's no way to win, I don't understand'..."

"But before that, I had a vague idea that I had found a sure way to win!"

The skeletal demon looked toward the volcano. In the space of consciousness, both Xue Lude and the old undead saw the active volcano.

"What do you want to do!" the old ghost asked in terror.

"Isn't there a volcano?" Xue Dinglu's lips curled up into a wild smile.

"Since it's an immortal ultimate monster, I'll make it stop thinking!"

Chapter 22 The Lich King Ceased to Think

The plan to expel the dead through the volcano was a spur-of-the-moment decision made a day earlier.

However, after confirming that volcanic ash could purify low-level undead and weaken high-level undead, Xue's Law vaguely had the idea of ​​going a step further and using volcanoes to eliminate undead.

Since the Holy Mountain is the god-king in the imperial mythology, the absolute nemesis of all evil and death, could the power used by the priests in this other world with magic and divine arts be the geothermal energy of the volcano?

Furthermore, what would happen if the Lich King, an absolutely immortal monster, were thrown directly into a volcano?

Either the Lich King, this catastrophic being, will be purified by the volcano, an even greater catastrophic being.

Alternatively, the Lich King might cease thinking altogether, as if permanently sealed away, amidst the constant purification and resurrection of the volcano.

There is another possibility: the Lich King might be able to adapt to the temperature and mystery of the volcano, and then return to the earth like some ultimate creature.

But if throwing him into a volcano can't kill the Lich King, then there's really no way to save this world; it's beyond saving and just waiting to die.

Therefore, Xue Law chose to go all in one last time, betting that this volcano, which is the supreme god of the Holy Mountain in the Imperial mythology, can kill or seal the Lich King!

All in!

Going all in is a form of wisdom.

Considering that the Lich King fled when Xue's Law first released volcanic ash, he has already won his gamble.

Next, it's all about figuring out how to trick the Lich King into coming to the card table with him!

The skeletal demon clung tightly to the Lich King and began constantly adjusting its attack direction, forcing the Lich King to advance towards the volcano.

In the distance, the paladins besieging the undead behemoths also noticed that the battlefield between the skeletal demons and the Lich King was getting further and further away, moving closer and closer to the volcano. All the surrounding trees were destroyed, and the earth was covered with dense marks as if it had been insulted and abused.

"Your Holiness! The battlefield over there has already reached the vicinity of the Holy Mountain!" a paladin reported.

The Pope looked in that direction and saw the explosions and sword strikes that were constantly occurring at the foot of the holy mountain.

Looking at the sacred mountain billowing black smoke, Alora instantly recalled the old undead's explanation of how Schrödinger's Law could trigger a volcano.

"Could it be..." The Pope suddenly realized something, and she roared, "Send out five squads to intercept the bone dragons! The rest of you, come with me to the main battlefield!"

The next moment, several paladin squads, aided by their unicorn warhorses, advanced towards the area where the skeletal demons and the Lich King were fighting.

On the galloping warhorse, an incredibly terrifying thought flashed through Alora's mind.

Could it be that the child intends to throw the Lich King into the Holy Mountain?

No, that's impossible. The Lich King isn't stupid. Undead instinctively fear the Holy Mountain, and the Lich King would never come to the Holy Mountain Pass so easily!

Just as she had predicted, the Lich King began to act strangely when he arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain.

Like a spider sense, it stopped retreating towards the volcano. No matter what kind of attack Xue Lude used, it stopped dodging towards the mountaintop and instead started circling around.

Xue looked up; the crater was at least ten kilometers away.

not enough!

“Old man, you control your right hand to use Imperial Swordsmanship, and I’ll control my left hand to release Holy Light Spiral!” Xue Luding said.

"Alright!" The old undead no longer considered escaping.

The next moment, the Lich King immediately felt that everything was completely different.

If the skeletal demon had resembled a person before, in this instant, it was holding a sword in its right hand while continuously casting divine spells with its left.

It instantly felt as if it wasn't fighting one person, but rather facing a pincer attack from two legendary figures.

"Holy Light!" Xue Dinglu began chanting in the Imperial language.

A surge of energy flowed into the orb of holy light on his left, while his right hand remained completely unaffected as he used Imperial swordsmanship to attack the Lich King.

"No, the undead's instincts terrify the Holy Mountain, so it will flee downwards!" came the old undead's roar.

The next moment, dozens of holy light spears shot out from below, piercing through the Lich King's desiccated body once again. The holy light spears sizzled on the desiccated body like red-hot irons.

"Uh... ah!"

The Lich King let out a painful groan; the Holy Light could directly purify the souls of the undead.

A bone spike pierced through the paladin order in an instant, leaving a trail of gruesome blood and severed limbs. Yet, not a single paladin retreated or showed fear. Their eyes were filled only with boundless rage towards the Lich King, a fury that seemed to want to burn him to ashes.

The holy spears fired again, and this time several more were lucky enough to pierce the mummified corpse's body. Just as the Lich King was about to chant an even more powerful necromancy spell, the greatsword behind him, whistling through the wind, was aimed at its head.

"Buzz!"

The enormous demonic sword sent the Lich King flying, crashing into the mountainside of the sacred mountain, and hurtling straight toward the summit like a ping-pong ball.

The skeletal demon spread its wings and desperately flew towards the Lich King.

"Up the mountain! Up the mountain! Up the mountain!"

Alora's voice began to hoarse, but she still led the Paladin Order to charge towards the mountaintop.

"He's starting to feel fear!" Xue Dinglu saw the Lich King. At this moment, the desiccated corpse was recklessly trying to get away from the Holy Mountain, as if this place had reached a dangerous distance for it.

But Xue's Law would not do as he wished!

The giant sword slammed down on it, forcing the Lich King to dodge, for if the blow landed, it would be sent flying once more, getting even closer to the mountaintop.

However, the Lich King forgot that it wasn't fighting a single person at this moment. With its other hand, the holy light orb that Xue Lude had been accumulating for a long time was now nearly half a meter in diameter, and it was firmly imprinted on the chest of the desiccated corpse in the direction the Lich King was dodging...

In the space of consciousness, Xue Lude extended his right fist, and the old ghost tacitly extended his left fist.

The two fists collided!
