[World Quest: Find the Continuation of the Extinction Story / Accepted]

Blazer wasn't surprised by the sudden pop-up blessing reminder. An event that would have such a significant impact on the world was undoubtedly special. But the difficulty was so high that he didn't even know how difficult it was. He had no idea how difficult it was.

To be honest, he initially thought that at most he would just defeat enemies one after another that would turn the world upside down.

Fortunately, Enya did not just throw the question out there and leave it alone. She had some clues.

"You know the elves, right? They're the ancient race that survived the destruction of the Ancient Times and the Age of Gods and survived until the modern era."

"The Golden Sea of ​​Trees?" Blaze understood what Enya meant. This meant that he should look for a refuge like the elves, but this gave him even more headaches.

Now the task had become more complex. He had to prepare a means to move a country at any time. And the prerequisite for this was to prepare a space large enough to accommodate a country, or even an entire continent in extreme cases.

The Golden Sea of ​​Trees definitely won't work. People who have been to that world all describe the Golden Sea of ​​Trees as "an extremely huge tree of life." It sounds huge, but most of it is occupied by trees.

"There is no need for a sea of ​​golden trees. There is already a huge space beneath this continent." Enya revealed a shocking secret, which is also the key to this mission.

"I once saw the world turn upside down up close. Even if my soul decays, I will never forget that scene."

[When a ray of light cut through the earth, we realized that we had failed.

The reinforcements looked at us from afar through the light curtain. Someone stretched out his hand, but was instantly dissolved by the light curtain.

The treasure miners tried to use their bodies as a bridge, resisting the light curtain and creating a way for us to return home. But such was the power emanating from the world turning upside down, even the great dragons in the sky and the Titans on the earth were forced to stay away from the light curtain.

The cracks on the earth are getting bigger and bigger, and we and our motherland seem to be standing in two different worlds.

The people of Baokuang seemed to have been prepared for this and invited us into their house, telling us that with them sleeping in the abyss, our children and future generations would never suffer such a disaster again.

I ran out of the house like crazy, hysterically cursing the most vicious words I could imagine at the light curtain.

But what frustrates me is that I was actually shocked by the spectacular sight of the earth turning upside down at close range. The severed land showed me the long history of this world.

I am moved that there have been so many living beings in this world, but I also feel desperate because of the natural laws that have changed so drastically.

Then, I saw it.

A world underground, a world with opposite gravity, a new world, and in it live dinosaurs and giant insects that were supposed to be extinct.

"The underground world?" Blaze didn't think that this was an illusion that Enya saw after being stimulated. The underground space that originally housed the head of the Nemean giant was comparable to a small city, and the end of his sight was still dark, which meant that the underground space was much larger than what he observed.

In this way, the difficulty is reduced a lot, at least there is a phased goal of "finding the underground world".

"Isn't this a bit too much to ask?" Enya pursed her lips. She, who made this request, knew better than anyone that this task was a fantasy.

"No, it's not difficult to find the underground world."

"Shield jumping is prohibited. What if you accidentally go through your head and fall into the abyss?" Chicken glanced at the confident Blaze.

"Well, that's really asking too much." Blaze immediately wilted.

"Look at the bright side. You can take this opportunity to travel to every corner of the world and look for the entrance to the underground world." The chicken patted Blaze's back with its wings as if comforting a child who couldn't play happily, talking about the good things while also preaching big truths.

"Besides, don't you dislike taking shortcuts and back roads? While exploring the underground world step by step, you might be able to help many people and gain many unexpected rewards."

"Just like now, if you ask Hebi directly for the red robe and black boots, the secrets of the treasure miners may be buried in this darkness forever, and Enya and other undead warriors of the Giaiens will never rest in peace and will continue to attack every foreigner who comes here."

"There's no need for you to make it so clear. I know I will only use it in a critical moment." Blaze lowered his head. In fact, he didn't care how far he had to go. He just wanted to use the shield jump for a legitimate reason.

It's like the hobby that my mother always told me was a perverse thing can finally be put to use in a serious situation.

Enya sat next to them, hugging her knees, with a confused look on her face. Although she had no idea what Blaze and Chicken were talking about, she still interrupted the topic and provided clues.

"I noticed there seemed to be some kind of passage between the underground world and the surface world, but unfortunately I couldn't see it clearly. You can travel to other countries. In the records of other countries, the disaster of the world turning upside down would probably be recorded as a rare historical wonder."

"There may be clues in there."

Chapter 182 Uninvited Guests in the Mausoleum

Finding the underground world would be a long adventure, no less than returning the stars, which meant that this matter could not be rushed. With the mentality of being here, Blaze asked Enya if there was anything else he could help with immediately.

Enya hesitated for a while, and there was really something she needed help with immediately.

"The Giant Kingdom calls this place the 'Royal Unknown Tomb,' right? Many evil necromancers have tried to sneak in here in order to possess the corpses of the Giaiens. For thousands of years, we have been protecting the secrets of this city, but there are still times when we slip through the cracks."

Enya pointed to the west of the city and said.

"The lich Oka entered here six hundred years ago and discovered the secrets of the treasure miners. We destroyed his teleportation tool and phylactery and trapped him here."

[Urgent Mission: Defeat the evil lich entrenched in the Reversed City]

"Lich, this is a very difficult undead monster to deal with." Blaze looked in the direction of Enya's finger. That was where he saw the battle taking place when he was observing from below.

He recalled the information about the lich.

The origin of the lich comes from the desire for immortality.

Even those blessed cannot escape the cause and effect of their dying, so outstanding magicians used forbidden rituals to defile the soul fire blessed by the gods, took out the fire and stored it in a special container, the life box, to achieve eternal life.

Although they are undead creatures, they have a different focus from the necromancers who cast undead magic. They possess magical abilities that surpass the limits and can be said to be the equivalent of the super-high-level magician profession that surpasses human intelligence.

The most troublesome thing about liches is that there are no weak liches. Most of them were extremely powerful magicians in their lifetime. The ritual to become a lich is extremely dangerous. The consequences of desecrating the blessings of the gods often mean that there will be no luck left. Therefore, the vast majority of liches go wrong during the ritual, becoming mad and evil.

In the past, liches always symbolized the desecration of life and the gods, and becoming a lich was no less than declaring war on the gods. However, with the arrival of strangers, the gods became more flexible and proactively transformed this terrifying race of liches into a class that could be advanced.

After acquiring one or more ultimate magical attributes, possessing a large amount of magic, and possessing a phylactery, you can easily and risk-freely advance to a [Lich]. As for how to craft a phylactery, if you don't want to spend a lot of materials, you can simply steal a ready-made one from a lich, and even inherit their lich title.

The [Lich] that the Blessed One has now changed into does not possess immortality. Instead, after their health reaches zero, they possess the special ability to attach to a new body for a period of time and then resurrect.

Therefore, the foreigners of the Lich often drag a pile of coffins containing bodies behind them, which can be regarded as a particularly beautiful landscape.

I've strayed off topic. This urgent mission isn't actually that difficult. The lich's power lies in the fact that its soul resides within its phylactery, allowing it to control its body solely through its consciousness. This allows it to summon the surrounding elements with its soul, while its body freely consumes health and mana to unleash powerful spells.

If the body is destroyed, you can just use necromancy to create a new one.

Now that the phylactery had been destroyed and the lich's soul fire had returned to its body, the lich was already half-dead. As the strangers used to say when they were capturing the lich, it was the final stage of the slaying.

Blaze didn't waste any time and asked Enya to lead the way.

To the west of the Reverse City is the church of the Baokuang people. The Baokuang people do not believe in gods, and they don't even need houses to live in. They built the church only for other people with faith.

As they approached the church, the noise of battle gradually rose, and flaming arrows streaked through the streets. The undead knights of the Giant Kingdom's Protectorate Knights, weapons raised, fought against a group of skeletons.

"Those are the soldiers summoned by the lich Orka. Every once in a while they come to rob the treasure miners' bodies to repair their own life boxes and teleportation items." Enya explained the situation while raising the giant bow and placing an extremely finely carved long arrow on the bowstring.

After Blaze promised to help eliminate the hidden scourge of the lich Orka, Enya took out her best equipment.

These are precious arrows, and each one is dwindling.

Enya fired an arrow with such force that it ripped a path through the army of skeletons and landed at the church's entrance. The arrow's feathers began to disintegrate, transforming into a point of light that drifted toward the dome. In the darkness shrouded Reversed City, this was an incredibly conspicuous signal.

Recognizing the arrow, the Undead Knights blew the horn of attack, switching from guerrilla warfare to a frontal assault.

"Although the lich Oka's phylactery has been destroyed, he is still a great wizard with superb magic. The fire magic he uses is too harmful to us, so all we can do is hold back his army for you!"

"That's enough."

Blaze put away the twisted sword, ran straight down the street, and rushed towards the church.

The breath of this living person among a group of undead was like the temptation of blood to sharks. The skeleton soldiers shifted their hatred and rushed towards Blaze like crazy.

Only when Blaze got closer did he realize that these skeletons looked just like the ones standing still in the dome. He'd misunderstood. The skeletons weren't missing their homeland, but rather, they had received the summoner's command but were unable to carry it out, so they could only stand there motionless.

The skeleton soldiers are all miscellaneous soldiers... This common sense has become an extremely dangerous misunderstanding after the appearance of strangers. Strangers will stuff gunpowder into the hollow bones of the skeletons. As long as there is a small collision, or they are cleverly attacked with fire, they will explode directly.

But this lich from 600 years ago was undoubtedly out of date. He summoned real skeletons as soldiers, and the weapons in his hands had long been decayed. He couldn't even leave a mark on Blaze's armor.

Blaze braved the attacks of the skeletons all the way and rushed directly to the door of the church. He kicked the door of the church and shouted one of the classic lines of the stranger.

"Open the door! Check the water meter!"

The dilapidated church door did not crash into the sides with great force as Blaze had imagined, allowing him to stand in front of the lich Oka in a menacing manner. Instead, it rotted at the touch of a rotten dead tree, so that Blaze's kick seemed to have missed the target and he stumbled and fell.

But Blaze still reacted in time, rolling over and completing his heroic appearance by kneeling on one knee and punching the ground.

This is one of the Stranger's classic entrance moves.

"How embarrassing."

Blaze lowered his head somewhat dejectedly. This move looked quite handsome on others, but it felt very stupid when he did it himself, and it was also very unfriendly to the hips.

"Ah, ah ah..."

A dry humming sound coming from the depths of the church dispelled Blaze's shame, and two cold soul flames slowly burned.

[Lich Orca LV1]

Chapter 183 Which is more terrifying, LV1 or LV90

Liches were powerful figures in their lifetimes, so they often wear tattered finery, though a lich who multiclasses as a fighter or cleric might still wear warrior armor. A lich's clothing, like its body, always displays its long history, symbolizing the decay and rot that always accompanies a lich.

The one that appeared before Blaze was undoubtedly the most classic Lich. However, Level 1 was not classic at all, but rather extremely strange.

Even the weakest monsters are at least LV2. LV1 is like a legendary level. Normally, you can level up by doing anything.

The stranger once said very seriously that it was easy to defeat a level 100 monster, but if a level 1 monster suddenly appeared, you would have to sit up and fight it seriously.

Let me emphasize one truth: when something goes against common sense, there must be something wrong.

This strange situation naturally made Blaze tense and he didn't act rashly. Perhaps this lich, like him, possessed some extremely low-level ability that still possessed extremely high attributes.

The chicken also spread its wings, and the breath of a fire dragon was brewing in its mouth.

Under Blaze's vigilant gaze, the lich Oka slowly stood up.

It was a skinny, skeletal humanoid creature, with withered muscles tightly attached to exposed bones. His eyes had decayed, but the empty eye sockets shone with a foul soul flame.

"Is it the one who receives the blessing?"

The lich Oka trembled and walked out of the darkness with an extremely old voice. He looked extremely sad, and his robes could not hide his broken body.

"Did those noble Undead Knights send you to destroy me?"

"That's right, you wanted to get your hands on their corpses and discovered the secrets of the treasure miners." Blaze looked solemn. Because the opponent did not have the beast affix, he had no way to see through the opponent's condition.

This LV1 is really weird.

"In the past, I might have wanted to manipulate their corpses and seize the bodies of the treasure miners, but I'm tired." The lich Oka slowly sat down on the bench in the church. His body was more fragile than the bench that had stood for thousands of years.

"Now I just want to leave here with the girl who died here because of my stupidity. The skeleton soldiers I sent out were only to search for her bones, but unfortunately, this was misunderstood by the Undead Knights."

This guy doesn't even think before he tells a lie.

Blaze and Chicken looked at each other and saw speechless eyes.

"Is it a girl wearing rogue leather armor? I found her in the ruins south of the city."

"Yes, she loved this kind of exciting adventure when she was alive. The place where she last disappeared was..."

"But the one I found was one in a cloak."

The lich Oka froze, and before Blaze could finish his words, he pointed to the scattered crystal minerals around him.

"These are the bodies of the treasure miners. If you truly repented, you wouldn't just pile up the treasure miners you persecuted like junk."

"When did you find out?" The lich Oka slowly turned his head and let out a sinister and terrifying laugh.

"This rhetoric deceived many foolish undead Giens, making them believe that I disturbed this place to resurrect my lover."

"Because I've seen many people like you who use tragic stories to deceive the sympathy of the people of Giens. I can tell the truth from the false at a glance." Blaze shook the twisted sword in his hand.

There were many people who took advantage of the kindness of the people of Jians to commit fraud. If he hadn't been able to see through such lies to gain sympathy when he was a child, Marika would have no idea how she had been deceived.

Every Giensian who grows up healthily has his childhood sweetheart who works hard for him.

"Hahahaha... Blessed One, you've been fooled and missed the best chance to destroy me!" Oka suddenly opened his arms, revealing the mysterious metal box in his dry chest under his luxurious robe, and laughed hysterically.

"I'm just stalling for time to recover my strength. I used the treasure miner's body to repair my phylactery, and just now, I placed my soul inside it!"

The lich's powerful magic burst out of his body, transforming into a dark beam of light that pierced through the church and wreaked havoc in the sky above the Reverse City.

[Lich Orca LV90]

[The great magician, corrupted by witnessing the birth of the Demon King, shifts all blame onto the Demon King. He takes pleasure in the suffering of others and in seizing wealth. He is an extremely evil lich.]

"Oh, it's LV90." Blaze lowered his eyes, and the oppressive and mysterious feeling brought by LV1 disappeared.

"Six hundred years! Those half-blood bastards who got in my way actually wasted a full six hundred years of my life. And that bastard who destroyed my phylactery, I'm going to put her in the flames of purgatory and torture her forever!"

"Now that I've regained my rank, and those undead powers are no longer what they once were, this is my chance to plunder all the treasure miners and create countless supreme bodies!"

The moment the lich Oka regained his strength, he ignored Blaze's existence. As a former blessed one, he knew better than anyone what the huge gap in level meant.

When Blaze came over with the twisted greatsword, the lich Oka opened his arms arrogantly and casually exposed the life box that contained his soul.
