Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Whenever this spell is cast, it is accompanied by the wails of the Valkyries and their falling figures.

　Clearly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, these Valkyries will meet their end in this magical black mist.

　Just as this Valkyrie force, which was attempting to annihilate the Second Herrscher by leveraging the power of the [Moonlight Throne] system, was about to be completely wiped out, a profound gaze pierced through the layers of magical black mist and landed directly on the necromancer.

　"Um?!"

　Sensing the presence of that gaze, Moros frowned slightly, gently patted Sirin's back, and gestured for her to leave his embrace for the time being.

　Having experienced four leaps in life level, his intuition had become exceptionally sharp.

　At this moment, he could clearly feel that behind that gaze lay a terrifying power that could threaten his life.

　"Benares, I'll leave Sirin to you for now."

　Moros's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity.

　He waved the [Netherworld Staff] in his hand, and a massive dragon of death instantly materialized.

　[Instant Cast - Death Avatar]!

　At the cost of 4000 mana points, he summoned a level 35 Death Avatar.

Chapter 349 Friend or Enemy, Choose?

　"Moros, I can help you..."

　Before Sirin could finish speaking, the necromancer interrupted her.

　He knew very well that there was only one person on this planet who could make him feel threatened.

　Kevin Kaslana, the sovereign of the World Serpent, the bloodline of the Kaslana family, and bearing the inscription of "Salvation".

　"Cirin, be a good girl."

　Moros had an idea that prevented Sirin from joining the fight between him and Kevin.

　Under his will, the dragon of death slowly lowered its ferocious head, allowing the necromancer to ascend onto its head.

　"Benares, take good care of Celine."

　After leaving those words, Moros commanded the avatar of death to fly towards Kevin's location.

　Now that Kevin had extended an invitation, he naturally wouldn't back down.

　The necromancer wasn't surprised that Kevin didn't choose to launch a surprise attack on him.

　Kevin's presence here means he has regained most of his power.

　No, you could even say that, apart from the Destruction Key - Judgment of Heavenly Fire that he now possesses, Kevin is no different from his prime.

　With such power, Kevin was certainly confident that he wouldn't use a surprise attack as a greeting between the two.

　Of course, Moros also understood that this might also include Kevin's recognition of his insight.

　This pioneer of human civilization did not believe he could escape the eyes of the necromancer.

　Kevin is certainly strong in direct combat, but this fusion warrior is clearly not very good at covert operations.

　With the speed of death itself, a distance of tens of kilometers is covered in the blink of an eye.

　Deep in the tranquil mountains, far from Krosten, Moros finally confronted the World Serpent Lord, the steadfast executor of the [Stigmata Project] and bearing the [Salvation] inscription.

　Kevin Kaslana, the fusion warrior who has fought countless battles, stands in stark visual contrast to the colossal, two-hundred-meter-long Death Avatar beneath Moros's feet.

　One stands soaring in the air, like a lone eagle in the sky; the other is rooted in the ground, like a giant beast in a deep valley.

　The distance between them seemed to stretch across an endless boundary between heaven and earth. As they gazed at each other, the air around them seemed to freeze in the tense and deadly atmosphere, leaving only the atmosphere of tension and deadly threat to spread unchecked.

　"This is indeed a power that is very different from Honkai energy."

　Sensing the faint death magic emanating from the incarnation of death, Kevin was the first to break the silence.

　Prior to this, he himself

　However, he had already carefully studied the detailed information about Moros that Gray Serpent had compiled.

　However, he always harbored a sliver of doubt about some of the more illogical descriptions in the intelligence reports.

　However, at this moment, when he witnessed the terrifying power displayed by the incarnation of death, this fusion warrior, who had personally experienced the lunar war of the previous civilization and faced the supreme power of the Herrscher of the End, finally put aside all his doubts.

　He was absolutely certain that the power used by Moros had absolutely no connection whatsoever with Honkai energy.

　But this only intensified Kevin's anger.

　Since the necromancer's power is unrelated to the Honkai, his actions of attacking humans from the perspective of the Herrscher become even more intolerable and unforgivable in Kevin's eyes.

　However, due to his human identity, the Lord of the World Serpent still decided to give Moros one last chance.

　In the eyes of this pioneer who had witnessed the horrors of the Honkai, if Moros was willing to join World Serpent and stand on the side of humanity to fight against the Honkai, then all his previous actions could be forgiven.

　After all, when facing the Herrscher of the End, the value of a strong person far surpasses that of countless ordinary people.

　Moros, on the other hand, had already proven his extraordinary strength with the countless corpses he had left behind in a series of previous battles.

　"Nice to meet you, an being wielding unknown powers."

　Suppressing his inner anger, Kevin's voice was calm and powerful.

　"Oh, what an honor! I never expected to attract the attention of the World Serpent Lord."

　Manipulating magic, the necromancer's voice, tinged with amusement, echoed through the valley.

　Kevin was surprised when he heard Morros easily reveal his identity.

　If he remembered correctly, he hadn't yet introduced himself to the necromancer.

　"I have come here to recruit you to join the World Serpent."

　Suppressing the doubts that were rising in his heart, Kevin continued.

　"The power you possess can make a tremendous contribution to humanity."

　"Sorry, I refuse."

　"Yeah……"

　Kevin seemed to have anticipated this answer. He sighed softly and then gripped the greatsword tightly.

　A sudden gust of wind arose, howling and sweeping across the entire Alps, as if cheering for Kevin's strength.

　The sword emitted a deep hum, foreshadowing the impending duel.

　"Friend or foe, choose."

　Kevin's voice was firm and cold; he was giving Morales one last chance.

　But Kevin was already prepared. If Moros chose to become an enemy, he would do everything in his power to keep this powerful necromancer in this valley, in order to ensure the future of humanity and the possibility of defeating the Honkai.

　Upon hearing this, Moros's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

　His inner balance had already shifted. Whether it was his deep friendship with Sirin or the drive of the hero template advancement mission, it gave him a clear stance in this world.

　"I choose……"

　Therefore, there will only be one answer from the necromancer.

　"enemy!"

　The moment the words left his mouth, the embodiment of death suddenly opened its ferocious dragon jaws, and the gathered death magic transformed into a world-destroying breath, violently spewing towards Kevin.

　At the same time, a barrage of debuff spells rained down on this pioneer of human civilization.

　In fact, not only the necromancer, but Kevin also reacted the instant Moros finished speaking.

　He swung his greatsword, and a fierce, icy wind instantly erupted, sweeping across the entire valley.

　Wherever this cold wind went, everything was frozen into ice, and within a radius of tens of kilometers, it instantly turned into a crystal-clear icy realm.

　[Instant Cast Spell: Curse of Blindness]!

　[Instant Cast Spell - Mind Control]!

　[Instant Cast Spell - Torture]!

　……

　While continuously casting various debuff spells, Moros did not forget to command the summoned Death Avatar to distance itself from Kevin.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, Moros has a clear understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. He knows that maintaining distance will be the key to his victory in this duel.

　How could a battle-hardened fusion warrior not see through Moros's intentions?

　He instantly discerned the other party's intentions and then acted decisively.

　Kevin suddenly swung his incomparably sharp greatsword, unleashing a massive Honkai energy slash with overwhelming power.

　This strike tore the heavens and earth apart, and was awe-inspiring.

　This signifies that Kevin has officially entered a state of "man-made collapse".

Chapter 350 The Battle with Kevin

　"Boom——"

　The dazzling pillar of light descended like divine punishment, instantly melting the icy domain that Kevin had constructed into a sea of ​​lava.

　Even so, the necromancer standing atop the dragon's head, the embodiment of death, showed no joy on his face.

　He knew that even the legendary spell [Doomsday Judgment]

　The judgment, when faced with a demigod, also appears unreliable.

　Yes, the moment Kevin activated [Artificial Collapse] and transformed into the form of a demon, Moros understood that this fusion warrior from the previous civilization was already a true demigod-level powerhouse.

　Just as he had predicted, although the Frozen Realm was reduced to ashes in the onslaught of the Doomsday Judgment, Kevin himself did not suffer much substantial damage.

　Admittedly, the loss of the Seventh Divine Key, the Key of Destruction, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, weakened his power, but this did not prevent him from skillfully dodging the direct bombardment of the second phase of the [Doomsday Judgment], a pillar of light with unparalleled power.

　As long as he successfully evades this phase of the attack, the first phase of lava bubble baptism will be as insignificant as a breeze to the [Salvation] Inscription, who controls the power of Parvati's ice and snow, and will not pose any substantial threat to him.

　"As a human being, you aid and abet evil. You are not worthy of such power!"

　Kevin's voice was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze the air itself.

　His hand, which wasn't gripping the sword hilt, clenched into a fist. Instantly, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the biting cold sent chills down one's spine.

　The next moment, huge ice spikes appeared out of thin air, surrounding Kevin. They were crystal clear and shimmered with a cold light, making him look like an emperor who ruled over ice and snow, majestic and ruthless.

　Under Kevin's control, these ice spikes, carrying endless chill and destructive power, shot towards the incarnation of death soaring in the sky like cannonballs.

　At the same time, he pushed off the ground with both feet, and his body shot out like an arrow, rushing towards the Death Dragon along with the ice spikes.

　Kevin had learned of Fu Hua's demise from Gray Serpent's report.

　He knew that in this battle, he could not use his weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

　Although Parvati's genes endowed him with considerable ranged combat abilities, this level of ranged combat ability was clearly far from sufficient compared to his forte, close combat.

　Therefore, after briefly assessing the effectiveness of the ranged attacks, the [Salvator] decided to close the distance with the necromancer.

　Seeing Kevin soar into the sky, Moros's heart sank.

　too fast!

　Although he had anticipated that the battle would be difficult when he realized that Kevin had already reached the level of a demigod.

　But having witnessed firsthand Kevin's astonishing flight speed in his demon form, the necromancer realized that his previous battle plan had been overly optimistic.

　Kevin's straight-line flight speed, which was nearly 30% faster than Death's Avatar, made him realize that any conventional means of movement seemed so insignificant and almost meaningless in front of Kevin.

　However, while the rapid advance of the [Salvation] Inscription was astonishing, Moros, a demigod-level spellcaster with profound knowledge of spatial and teleportation techniques, was by no means an easy opponent.

　He calmly gave the order to the embodiment of death.

　Go and stall him!

　Then, the necromancer cast [Dimensional Journey], disappearing from Kevin's sight and vanishing into an unknown dimension.

　Since the speed of the demon Kevin was far beyond expectations and the incarnation of death could not escape its pursuit, Moros decided to change tactics.

　He planned to use his Death Avatar to distract Kevin, and then prepare to unleash powerful battle magic to deal him a heavy blow.

　The enormous size of the Death Incarnation, located two hundred meters away, made it difficult for Kevin to completely eliminate it in a short period of time.
