Chapter 17: Stanley Is Dead!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The ice crystal spear was very fast. Just as it was about to pierce Stanley, he suddenly shouted,

“Sir, save me! I promise you.”

With a cold snort, a cold voice sounded in the depths of his mind.

“You’re only willing to lower your head when you’re about to die. If you had agreed earlier, the war would have ended long ago!”

Stanley stopped struggling.

A ray of light lit up above Stanley’s head. Even the black armor couldn’t stop the light from penetrating through.

The light was gray, and at a casual glance, it made one feel like they were about to sink into it.

Swoosh!

A beam of light shot out and shone on the ice crystal spear. It actually froze the spear in midair and instantly melted it.

“Eh…”

Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder this person’s strength was extraordinary, far exceeding that of ordinary people…

It turned out that he was not born with divine strength, but that there was something fishy in his body.

“Kid, I want to thank you.”

Stanley stood up again with a strange smile on his face. His brown pupils were replaced by gray.

“Why do you say that?”

Indeed, Ye Tian’s curiosity was piqued and he asked instinctively.

“I’ve been in his body for a long time. I’ve always wanted to occupy his body, but this guy refused no matter what. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m facing death today, I don’t know how long I would have to wait. Do you think I should thank you?”

Stanley twisted his neck as if he was trying to get used to this body.

“Who are you?”

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.

The ability to occupy someone else’s body… had always been a trick used by dark magic.

However, to achieve this, the requirements for strength were often quite high.

“Ignorant people from the Lower Realm, you won’t understand even if I tell you.”

“Stanley” looked cold and proud as if he was looking down on all living beings.

“I’m the noble mage Derry of the Upper Realm. Kid, your strength is not bad and you’ve freed me. I’ll allow you to become my servant. When I sacrifice the living beings of this world and obtain enough strength, I can bring you to the Upper Realm!”

Upper Realm again…

Ye Tian muttered in his heart and asked, “Are you familiar with Stardust Valley?”

Derry’s expression changed drastically as if he had thought of some bad memories. His body began to tremble.

“How do you know that name?”

After a short while, Derry adjusted his emotions and stared at him seriously.

“Looks like you’re not a big shot in the Upper Realm. Where did you get the confidence to make me your servant?!”

After seeing Derry’s reaction, Ye Tian’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

In the face of an unlimited lifespan, everything was ethereal like floating clouds.

‘So what if you’re powerful now? In a few hundred years, you’ll be nothing.’

At the very least, Ye Tian did not sense any danger from the other party and was extremely confident.

“Ignorant bug, how dare you mock the noble mage Derry? I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The enraged Derry roared and waved his hands, drawing a strange pattern in the air.

Gray smoke seeped out from the gaps in the black armor and quickly surrounded ‘Stanley’.

The smoke twisted like insects and snakes that had life.

The gray fog burrowed into the soil, and then the soil surged. White hand bones drilled out, followed by skulls and bodies.

The corpses that had died on the battlefield were awakened at this moment and turned into undead.

It was indeed dark magic.

At that moment, Ye Tian’s guess became reality. He extended his hands and the temperature in his palms rose continuously, turning into burning flames.

On the other side.

On the city wall, the generals were all stunned.

“What’s going on? Why does Stanley suddenly know magic?”

“No way, he’s a mage too?!”

“Stanley seems to be very powerful. He even summoned the dead. He’s not easy to deal with.”

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Nouye pursed her lips and frustration flashed across her eyes.

The sudden situation had completely exceeded her expectations.

Not only did the other party have a mage formation, but there was also a powerful mage hidden.

If not for Ye Tian’s appearance, the other party would not have revealed himself.

Now that Ye Tian was facing the enemy, they had no other mages to help him and could only watch quietly.

They had never felt so powerless before!

Nouye thought to herself.

…

“An Advanced Mage? You’re too weak. If you had agreed to be my servant just now, you could at least have survived for a while.”

Feeling the magical waves, Derry sneered and shook his head.

“Attack! Catch him and don’t hurt his body. I like him!”

Countless undead soldiers ran, their bones cracking as they charged toward Ye Tian.

Derry stood calmly with his arms crossed.

“Ordinary flames can’t do anything to these warriors of mine. Even if you exhaust all your magic power, you won’t be able to escape the outcome of failure!”

“Really? How can you be so sure?”

Ye Tian said coldly. He pushed forward with both hands and two balls of flames flew out, turning into a wall of flames.

At that moment, Ye Tian took out a necklace.

The gemstone on Peyroux’s Heart shone, and an inexplicable fluctuation spread out.

The originally scarlet flames suddenly flashed with purple light. The temperature suddenly increased by a large margin, and even the people on the city wall could clearly feel it.

The ground quickly dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and cracks appeared.

“How is this possible? How can there be a treasure that catalyzes magic power in such a barren world?!”

The change in front of him made Derry’s expression change drastically. The undead soldier he had high hopes for instantly turned to ashes in front of the purple flames.

Seeing that the flames were still approaching, Derry quickly moved and muttered something.

“Great Evil God, your most devout believer has sent you a request…”

Stanley’s flesh and blood disappeared bit by bit.

He was sacrificing himself in order to exchange for power from the Evil God and obtain a new life.

“Soldiers of the Red Moon Empire, victory is right in front of you. Lend me your strength and end the battle that has lasted for decades!”

Feeling the pressure, Ye Tian raised his hand that was holding Peyroux’s Heart.

On the city wall, everyone heard Ye Tian’s voice but their eyes were filled with confusion. They did not know what to do.

Nouye thought for a moment and imitated Ye Tian, raising her hand.

Now, the Empire’s only hope was Ye Tian.

When the others saw this, they imitated her and stared at Ye Tian’s back with determination.

In the face of the power of magic, ordinary people like them were especially pious.

Thus, the Peyroux’s Heart shone even brighter and the flames released by Ye Tian soared.

In the blink of an eye, Derry was surrounded by flames. The gray fog was still supporting him, emitting sizzling sounds.

In the end, he could not escape the outcome of melting.
