Chapter 928: The Elegy of the Undead!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Ah~”
It was a song without lyrics.
A song sung with a pure and ethereal voice seemed to have reached the deepest part of everyone’s soul. Those around the ruins of Huangliang City were fascinated by this voice. This ethereal and sad singing voice sounded so clear in the ruins.
Is this song to memorialize the dead?
It seemed to be so.
Some people looked relieved.
However, their expression changed quickly. The ruins of Huangliang City actually began to shake violently akin to aftershocks after a disaster.
“What is happening?”
“What is going on?”
Everyone was in deep shock.
“An aftershock?”
“No, look over there!” An esper exclaimed, pointing excitedly somewhere among the ruins where a figure was climbing out of the ruins with difficulty.
“This is…”
“There is someone alive!”
“There are actually still someone alive in the ruins of Huangliang City!”
Everyone was ecstatic.
Being alive was hope itself.
If someone was alive, doesn’t that mean that their family may still be alive? Having such a thought, everyone became excited and rushed towards that man. Even several reporters from the news agency rushed there to be the first ones to interview him.
“Hello, are you from here?”
“How did you survive?”
“Did you get injured? I can help you call the ambulance.”
Before that man came out, this group of reporters already threw countless questions.
“Go away!”
Several espers made their move as they were about to drive away these restless reporters. Suddenly, a black light flashed past, and that man climbed up from below.
Swish!
One row of heads flew away with faces still of excitement.
Near Huangliang City, the people preparing to go over there trembled, looking at this scene in horror. What did they just see? That figure that just came out went to kill all the reporters that went to interview him?!
“Be careful.”
“Don’t go near.”
“To be able to survive such an attack, he must be a peerless powerhouse or even a world esper. Such a person, even if he’s seriously injured, he’s still not someone any ordinary man can deal with.”
The crowd engaged in a heated discussion.
“I’ll go and have a look.”
A world esper frowned for a bit and walked over there. Powerful Rule Force floated around him, “Are you alright?”
No one responded.
Everyone around looked at this scene nervously.
Su Hao and Zheng Tai glanced at each other. Vaguely, they could have guessed already. If the legend, if…. it’s really that song! Then they were almost certain what would happen next.
“Hey!” That world esper shouted again.
The man still looked down and was not moving as if he couldn’t hear at all. Su Hao and Zheng Tai squeezed their hands subconsciously. Meanwhile, Zheng Tai’s face was somewhat pale.
“Should we remind him?” Zheng Tai had a very bad hunch.
“No need.” Su Hao calmly replied, “This is just our own suspicion. To remind him at this time, no one would take us seriously. If something goes wrong, they will come and blame us for not telling them early, pushing all the responsibility to us. For example, the death of those reporters earlier.”
Su Hao’s eyes looked cold.
Being outside for so many years, he had long gotten used to this kind of thing.
In the era of origin ability, being kind could easily become the target of blame.
Both hid themselves again.
As expected, the world esper gradually approached the man who crawled out and got attacked when he was within three meters from that man.
“Humph, just as I expected.” That world esper sneered, “I have long guessed it.”
Boom!
His Rule Force shook.
Two different forces confronted each other in the air. The man who attacked was obviously weaker, which might be due to his injury. That world esper’s attack hit his target. Then, he looked at that man with a smirk, “Your strength isn’t bad, but for everyone…”
‘”Pftt-”
A pair of black claws passed through his body.
The pain felt by that world esper suddenly intensified as he looked down in disbelief. Looking at the claws that weren’t the shape of a human’s in his chest, he turned around only to find out a dark shadow standing behind him. That claws actually came from him.
“You…”
That world esper looked distant. That man who got repelled by him was still there and now this… Where did he come from? What actually happened?
“Claws…”
“Black… It turned out not to be the trace from the explosion, but…”
“Hehe…”
“You’re…”
Poof~
That world esper fell to the ground and died.
Swish!
The surrounding crowd had a huge shock.
The black shadow flickered. Just when they thought that the world esper had won, they never thought that another figure would appear to kill that world esper.
“What… what’s happening?”
“Not sure.”
“Why did they attack?”
“Don’t know, could they be former fugitives?”
Everyone was so scared that they stepped back a few meters. Only those world espers stood there without moving. Opposite of them were those two shadows.
“Look at their hands!”
One man suddenly shouted loudly, and the crowd looked towards it.
They only found out that the hands of those two were dark together with their bodies. At first, the crowd couldn’t see it clearly, but after a few looks, they discovered those were no longer hands but claws! What was even scarier was those claws were wrapped in darkness.
“Hands… The hands… turned into claws.” A man shuddered in his speech.
“The dark color on their skin wasn’t dirt, but the true tone of their skin!” Another one exclaimed.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. At this moment, when those two figures suddenly raised their heads, their dark faces were revealed!
Black!
One could vaguely recognize the appearance of human beings coming from them, but their face was full of mysterious lines. Coupled with their dark body, it looked so strange.
“Monster!”
“Those are monsters!”
Everyone was frightened.
“Hmph.”
Several world espers sneered, “Making a fuss out of nothing.”
Boom!
In an instant, countless Rule Forces made their appearance!
Those two reanimated figures, even before they were able to move, they were reduced into nothing. Under the siege of many powerful world espers, they had no room to resist.
“So strong!”
“So this is the capability of a world esper?”
Everyone exclaimed. The fear in their heart instantly vanished. Yes, with so many world espers here, what was there to be afraid of? Plus, those espers from the Origin Ability Association would arrive pretty soon. That was the number one force of the Federation. If they come, no one would probably cause any trouble, right? Everyone felt relieved after thinking of this.
“Those monsters, what were they exactly?
“Not sure, Huangliang City actually has this kind of monster? Otherwise, how would they crawl out of the ruins? This is too strange.”
“Yes, yes.”
Everyone engaged in discussion with a soft voice.
“Maybe it’s someone with an animal type of talent. They turned into beasts and failed to revert to a human form on time.” A world esper casually shared his opinion. He had seen too many similar incidents before.
“Really?”
Another world esper was somewhat puzzled.
However, without waiting for them to analyze the cause, a crack sound suddenly rang. Instantly, they saw a fluctuation happening within the ruins of Huangliang City. Everyone subconsciously looked toward the ruins, and their bodies trembled due to witnessing an unbelievable scene.
The ruins of Huangliang City.
That piece of shattered land.
One after another, dark shadows appeared from below with a pair of claws digging out from underground. Coupled with the sad song, the scene suddenly became eerie. Those claws coming out from the ground were akin to grass.
They extended as far as one’s eyes could see!
Within the ruins of Huangliang City, wherever they looked, that spot would be occupied by shadows.
This city, or to be precise, the ruins of this city…
It was finished.
“So scary!”
“What are those?”
“How could there be so many monsters? Did the beast invade?”
Everyone was shocked. Some were too afraid that they couldn’t move. Those world espers, even though they weren’t scared, their faces looked ugly.
This scene…
It was such a thorn.
“Hehe.” A world esper sneered, “Seems that the destruction of Huangliang City isn’t a natural disaster, but there are enemies at work. Without knowing why, I feel relieved.”
“True.” Another world esper smiled indifferently, “If it’s a natural disaster, then there is nothing that could be prepared against it, but if it’s man-made… Hehe, just wipe them out, and everything will be fine, right?”
Boom!
Light flashed.
A wave of dark shadows fell to the ground.
Two world espers, who were so powerful, were able to clean hundreds of meters in the surrounding area, splitting every shadow into half!
Those who were afraid felt relieved.
Although there were many enemies, wouldn’t it be fine as long as there are these world espers on their side? However, this wasn’t the most terrifying thing. Just after one attack, something unexpected happened. When another world esper wanted to attack, he was unwilling to give the blow with his Rule Force.
“This…”
“This is…”
“What happened?”
“That figure…” The world esper stared at the dark shadow that was charging toward him. Looking at that familiar face…
“She’s my daughter…”
Everyone was horrified.
Daughter?
Could it be that those shadows…
“They are not beasts!”
“They are people of Huangliang City!” Someone screamed in panic, “These people are our loved ones!”
Boom!
With this one sentence, the entire scene turned chaotic.
This time, no one needs to explain. They finally understood what they were facing now. That same ethereal song was still playing. No one knew where it came from, but this was their true enemy this time…
The Elegy of the Undead!
A total of over three million dead souls!
This is a…
A feast for the undead.
