Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Such a number is difficult to completely conceal, even by the powerful apostles of God.

　Especially in the face of the advanced detection systems of airships.

　As a masterpiece created by Vervier with all her heart and soul, this floating warship incorporates the most cutting-edge technology of the time.

　In addition to the abundant resources generously provided by Moros, its advanced detection system is so sophisticated that it cannot be easily deceived by ordinary forces.

　It is likely that only interstellar civilizations with the technological level to achieve this.

　"Then I'll go first."

　Hugging the girl beside him, whose clothes were predominantly brown and who wore tall boots and had a stunning figure, the necromancer opened a portal to the upper deck of the warship.

　Meanwhile, beneath the warship, in the shadow of that massive steel structure, a demiplane portal quietly opened.

　The deployment of the undead army will take time.

　Even if Moros was confident that the Herrscher of Death was no match for him, he would not rashly release the undead army under the nose of the Apostle of God.

　Passing through the portal and stepping onto the cold steel deck, the necromancer began chanting eerie and unsettling incantations.

　【Death Incarnation】!

　At the cost of 3900 mana points, he successfully summoned a level 34 Death Avatar.

　"Roar!"

　With a deafening roar, Moros, having drunk a potion called "Gift of the Demon Well," leaped up and landed steadily on the back of the ghostly dragon-like incarnation of death.

　set off!

　With his will, the Avatar of Death suddenly flapped its tattered dragon wings, which were enveloped in a dense fog of negative energy condensed entirely from the magic of death, and soared into the air like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the sky and rushing straight toward the direction where the Herrscher of Death was located.

　On the upper deck monitoring system of the warship, Vilvi witnessed her lover and mentor launch their attack.

　Immediately afterwards, she decisively turned to the projection of the warship's artificial intelligence on the bridge and issued the order firmly and forcefully.

　"Release the carrier-based aircraft!"

　"As you wish, my master."

　The AI ​​projection responded.

　Under the efficient control of the warship's intelligent system, the 72 unmanned Honkai Energy Enhanced Fighters parked in the hangar were released.

　The fighter jet group quickly split into two groups. One group of jets nimbly circled around the warship, weaving an impenetrable defensive net to protect the warship's safety.

　The other part of the fighter jets are like

　The sharp arrows flew straight toward the Honkai Beast legion led by the Herrscher of Death.

Chapter 281 Battle of the Skyships

　With the chilling aura of death itself and the imposing size of the floating warship, the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, would not be able to ignore their existence if they weren't blind.

　Dragons? Floating warships? It seems there are still many things in this world that I don't know...

　Doubts surged in her mind like a tidal wave, but the Herrscher of Death remained completely unaffected.

　The moment the incarnation of death and the floating warship were captured, this apostle of the gods, who wields the power of creation and decay, reacted.

　She not only ordered her Honkai Beast Legion to engage, but also controlled the corrosive black mist that was spreading towards Reno City, sweeping it towards the rapidly approaching incarnation of death.

　However, before the Honkai Beasts could completely escape the protective range of the corrosive black mist, six 16-inch heavy shells crashed down like thunder, striking the swarm of Advance-class Honkai Beasts.

　"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

　Almost simultaneously, six deafening explosions shook the entire battlefield.

　Amidst the interplay of fire and smoke, hundreds of Assault-class Honkai Beasts were reduced to ashes in an instant.

　At the same time, 27 heavy air-to-ground missiles enhanced with Honkai energy from the floating warship also landed on the corrosive black mist.

　Unfortunately, just like the missile raids organized by the North American military, these 27 missiles were devoured by the power of [Withering] the moment they came into contact with the corrosive black mist, turning into ashes and failing to cause any substantial damage.

　Those Honkai Beasts that couldn't fly managed to escape unscathed due to their slow movement.

　They clumsily weaved through the corrosive black fog, and although they failed to participate in the battle in time, they were fortunate enough to avoid this round of missile coverage.

　Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the Herrscher of Death's eyes became even more profound.

　Although this attack did not inflict heavy casualties on her Honkai Beast Legion, she keenly sensed the enormous crisis hidden within.

　If I were to suffer such intense bombardment in my battle against that dragon...

　She pondered to herself, and a sense of urgent crisis arose within her.

　Thus, the Herald of Death made a decisive decision.

　She didn't hesitate to consume more Honkai energy to accelerate the spread of the corrosive black mist, causing this cloud of death to spread rapidly like a plague.

　Not only that, she also poured in even more Honkai energy, which greatly enhanced the corrosive power of the black mist.

　If the original eroding black fog took tens of seconds to erode a building that was over a hundred meters tall, now, it only takes half the time to accomplish the same task.

　While adjusting the corrosive black mist, the Herrscher of Death also issued a death order to her Honkai Beast Legion.

　No matter the cost, they must shoot down that floating warship!

　As the Herrscher of Death gave the order, the Honkai Beasts under her command instantly erupted into a frenzy, their eyes flashing with madness.

　As long as the Herrscher does not betray the Honkai, her orders are absolute for Honkai Beasts below the planetary level.

　That is exactly the case right now.

　The Honkai Beasts responded to the Herrscher of Death's call without reservation, rushing out of the cover of the corrosive black mist and launching a desperate charge towards the floating warship like a surging tide.

　However, at this moment, the unmanned Honkai energy-enhanced fighters initially released by the airship also arrived.

　The next moment, a thrilling firefight broke out in the sky above the outskirts of Reno City.

　The roar of the 30mm Honkai energy electromagnetic cannon and the howls of the Honkai beasts rose and fell, echoing through the sky.

　The missile's exhaust streaked across the sky like a crimson meteor, intertwining with the Honkai energy beams that shimmered with purple-white light, leaving dazzling trails in its wake.

　Under the precise control of the intelligent system, the unmanned combat aircraft faithfully execute attack commands. Their movements are swift and accurate, just like agile falcons.

　The Honkai Beasts charged at the enemy recklessly, risking their lives in an attempt to destroy everything in their path with the power of Honkai.

　On this brutal battlefield, Honkai Beasts and drones are constantly engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

　The Honkai Beast's hard silicon-based shell was torn apart by the intense firepower of the drones, and silicon-based flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Purple blood, like apocalyptic rain, fell on the ground, forming terrifying traces of Honkai energy erosion.

　Meanwhile, the unmanned combat aircraft were also hit by the Honkai Beasts' attacks from time to time, turning into dazzling fireballs that adorned the sky.

　If it were a war machine piloted by an ordinary human, it would probably be filled with fear in the face of such a brutal battlefield, making it difficult to exert its due combat power, and it might even choose to run away.

　But unmanned combat aircraft are different; they have no fear, no hesitation, only absolute loyalty to orders.

　Under the control of the warship's intelligent system, even at the last moment, the unmanned combat aircraft will choose to overload its onboard Honkai energy reactor and self-destruct.

　The Honkai Beast swarm delivers the final blow.

　However, the number of unmanned combat aircraft enhanced by Honkai energy is far lower than the number of flying Honkai beast swarms.

　After inflicting heavy damage on the flying Honkai Beast swarm, which outnumbered their own forces by several times, these unmanned combat aircraft were ultimately swallowed up by the tidal wave of Honkai Beasts.

　But their efforts were not in vain.

　Thanks to the tenacious entanglement and containment by the swarm of unmanned combat aircraft, the airship carrying Vervi was able to successfully complete the second round of missile loading and preparation.

　This time, from the meticulously designed multi-functional missile launch ports throughout the ship, Honkai energy missiles, specifically developed to deal with a large number of aerial targets, were launched.

　These missiles are loaded with refined Honkai energy crystals, which, once they approach the target area, will trigger an astonishing release of energy, forming a terrifying fireball of death.

　Within the blast radius of this fireball, no known type of aircraft would escape destruction.

　As the Honkai energy missile was launched, the entire sky seemed to be ignited, with countless fireballs blooming in the air like flowers of the apocalypse.

　The purple light and crimson flames intertwined, creating a breathtaking scene.

　The flying Honkai Beast swarm was instantly and severely damaged by this round of Honkai energy missiles.

　Nearly a thousand Honkai Beasts of different levels, including the Rush-class, Super Rush-class, and Rotary-class, were reduced to ashes by the fireball.

　Even the most powerful patrol-class Honkai Beasts in the flying Honkai Beast legion howled and lowered their flight altitude during this attack.

　Clearly, they had suffered substantial damage and were no longer able to maintain their original flight altitude.

　"Target locked..."

　"Missile salvo..."

　"Hit..."

　"Assess the target loss..."

　"..."

　Inside the bridge of the airship, an AI projection, expressionless, reported the details of the latest attack to its creator.

　Wirvi's eyes gleamed with joy as she stared intently at the live feed displayed on the screen.

　Moros, this time, I've finally helped you!

Chapter 282 Clash with the Lawyers of Death

　On the vast skies outside Reno, the battle raged with astonishing intensity.

　The floating warships built by Velvi unleashed their full firepower, pouring all kinds of ammunition at the approaching Honkai Beast legion.

　Meanwhile, unmanned Honkai energy fighters crisscrossed the battlefield, and exploding fireballs frequently flashed across the sky.

　Those constantly falling flying Honkai Beasts are the direct result of the joint operations between the floating battleships and Honkai energy fighters.

　Alicia and her team witnessed all of this through the window of the military Honkai energy transport vehicle.

　"Oh dear, it seems like time is running out."

　After mentally estimating the distance between the convoy and the battlefield on the outskirts of Reno City, as well as the convoy's current speed, Alicia turned to face her teammates.

　"I've decided to go ahead first, while you continue to the city to evacuate its residents..."

　Having assigned the task without giving the team members any room for objection, this pink fairy-like lady, as beautiful as a flying flower, lightly leaped off the speeding transport vehicle and sped off towards the battlefield on the outskirts of Novo City.

　"team leader!"

　Upon seeing Alicia's unexpected action, the team members instinctively shouted for a while.

　But after realizing she showed no sign of turning back, they could only adjust their mindset, follow the clear instructions left by their captain before leaving, and continue to Reno City to carry out the mission of evacuating residents.

　Although the aerial battle between the floating warship that Velvet was on and the flying Honkai Beast legion was large-scale and intense, the real key to victory lay in the contest between Moros, who stood on the back of the Incarnation of Death, and the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death.

　As the airships unleashed their shipborne firepower, fiercely bombarding the approaching flying Honkai Beast legion, the Death Avatar also brought those flying Honkai Beasts that had stubbornly survived the Honkai energy missile barrage into the range of its long-range attack capabilities.

　The necromancer summoned the Death Avatar using the legendary spell [Death Avatar], whose prototype is the Ghost Dragon, the pinnacle of the Necropolis unit system.

　Therefore, it naturally possesses the Ghost Dragon's signature ranged attack ability—Death Breath.

　The moment those elite rush-class Honkai Beasts, such as the Super Rush-class, Purple-White Twins, and Time Ripper, entered the range of the Death Dragon's Breath at an astonishing speed, the Death Avatar suddenly opened its huge and ferocious dragon's snout.

　Under the will of this death dragon, whose entire body was permeated with death energy, a massive amount of death magic was rapidly condensed and compressed, transforming into a cold and dark death dragon breath, which roared towards the Honkai Beasts.

　As the deathly breath surged forth, a deep, dark rift was torn open in the sky. Cold and gloomy energy raged across the battlefield like a whirlwind, devouring all life.

　Those originally fierce and unstoppable elite assault-class Honkai Beasts were annihilated by the deathly dragon's breath.

　Under the devastating impact, it instantly shattered into pieces.

　The super-advanced Honkai Beasts' carapaces, harder than steel, melted rapidly under the scorching heat of the dragon's breath. They let out desperate cries and struggled in vain, but were powerless to turn the tide.

　The Honkai energy shield that the Purple and White Twins once took pride in shattered like fragile glass under the fierce impact of the Death Dragon Breath, and their cooperative combat ability appeared pale and powerless under the absolute suppression of the death energy.

　Although the Time Rippers attempted to escape with astonishing speed, the [Slow Spell] that followed them trapped them, rendering them unable to move.

　Wherever the dragon's breath passed, the Honkai Beasts fell like harvested crops.

　Their bodies were torn to pieces by the impact of the dragon's breath, turning into countless fragments that fluttered down from the sky.

　With just one wave of deathly dragon breath, all the flying Honkai Beasts that had survived the Honkai energy missiles from the floating warships were wiped out.

　This is not surprising.

　This demise-like creature, resembling a ghostly dragon, was a terrifying being summoned by Moros at the cost of a full 3900 points of magic power.

　It is standard demigod-level combat power.

　Although compared to the demigods of the Biya Mountain world, this demigod power summoned by legendary magic can only be considered bottom-tier among its peers.
