No, my kin's fate remains uncertain, and I must ensure their safety before seeking a place to rest.

Inshi resolutely declared.

Bayou had ascended to royal status, stirring feelings of imbalance within Enshi, who believed that slumber alone could enhance her strength.

Very well.

The area is teeming with the undead.

A mere inquiry of one shall lead you to me.

I have yet to express my gratitude for your assistance, she continued.

Had it not been for Enshi's cunning use of spatial magic to shift the odds.

By you would have considered abandoning the endeavor, as confronting three royal entities was perilously akin to courting death.

No need for thanks.

It was a trivial task.

I am aware that your kind resides within that grand castle.

In she remarked, casting her gaze forward.

Yet her sight reached only the dark forest with not but open land in between.

Where was this castle? Enough of that.

My castle possesses unique means to remain unseen.

Bayou replied.

At that moment, Xiao, situated at the pinnacle of Bayou<unk>s castle, bore witness to the entire battle.

Her visage transformed from terror to concern, then to joy and finally astonishment as a myriad of expressions flickered across her face within the span of mere minutes.

Bayou spoke with urgency, rallying all the undead, and Xiao and Shua, well aware of Bayou's frequent absences, recognized that this was her first encounter with such pressing circumstances.

Fortunately, they had successfully navigated the crisis, emerging with newfound strength.

The spectacle of three royal beings clashing against over 20,000 undead left an indelible mark on Xiao Lianua's soul.

She realized that Bayou commanded a legion of hundreds.

While she herself remained merely a level 9 commoner as the undead gradually returned, Xiaoin descended to the castle's ground whereby you and she were bidding farewell.

I am departing now.

In she waved at Bayou suddenly recalling something.

Bayou, we are friends now, are we? Indeed, Bayu nodded, prompting a radiant smile from Inshi, revealing her small fangs.

This was her first friendship.

By the way, can humans discern between different races? Inshi inquired.

Her curiosity peaked as she gazed at Bayou.

She had long yearned to understand human society, and Bayou was her first encounter with an entity of another race.

Previously, she had only heard tales.

Bayou pondered for a moment, concluding that devoid of revealing one's abilities and accounting for cultural differences.

There was no discernable distinction between races and the indigenous humans.

Among the lords, there were indeed individuals from the West and those of African descent.

The magical continent also hosted individuals of Asian descent, though predominantly populated by Westerners.

From a superficial perspective, a mere change of attire would render them indistinguishable.

After all, the lords dawn modern garments, starkly contrasting with the classical Gothic style favored by the native humans.

Then will you accompany me to explore human society in the future? Certainly, in she replied, transforming into a white tiger and soaring towards the snowcapped mountains.

Bayou too readied her undead to return to the castle.

This time, Bayou ascended to the rank of king, no longer needing to cower before the dwarves of the Firebeard clan.

The fallen undead would be replenished by their ranks.

Bayou intended to dispatch an army of 10,000 undead accompanied by 5,000 aerial units and 5,000 death knights.

Of course, the presence of necromancers was indispensable.

Once the three undead eliminated Yang, a king level necromancer would be sent forth.

Bayou had also adapted to his abilities and could now soar through the skies, relying on dark elements akin to teleportation.

For any species not inherently capable of flight, magical flight necessitated the expenditure of magical energy.

The sensation of flying was exhilarating.

At last, Bayou had acquired the long-desired ability to fly.

Although his speed was somewhat diminished without the enhancement of the realm of death, he remained thoroughly satisfied, especially with the option of teleportation at his disposal.

Meanwhile, the three king-level undead departed the snowy mountains, revealing Yilyang<unk>s castle within their line of sight.

The three specters hovered in midair, and one of the necromancers rasped.

This must be the place the queens spoke of.

Chapter 170.

The ins snarement of Yong Cold J needed to summon additional troops in the snowy mountains coincidentally experiencing a cataclysmic event there.

However, he was unaware of the reasons behind the earthquake.

He merely witnessed a blue pillar of light ascending toward the heavens only to vanish in an instant.

After summoning his forces in the snowcapped peaks, Cold Jia intended to retreat and promptly relayed the news to the other members of the alliance.

As fate would have it, he caught sight of three undead soaring towards Yilyang<unk>s castle from the edge of the mountains, knowing that Bayou's humanoid undead possessed intelligence.

Cold Jia pondered whether there was a connection between this undead lord and the traitor.

Had it not been for their concerns regarding the army of the Gata Empire, they would have likely attempted to eliminate Yangong immediately upon the announcement of the leaderboard.

Finding a relatively advantageous position on the mountain, Kolia was able to observe Yi Liyangs castle from a distance.

Given that Yiliang was now a traitor, he surmised that local forces would surely be present within the castle.

The presence of merely three undead could not possibly signify an assassination attempt on Yilong.

Uncertain, Cold Jia glanced at the leaderboard once more.

Bayou<unk>s name remained green, which alleviated his anxiety.

If Bayou had turned traitor, she might have gone to great lengths to locate them for the sake of this event, leading to considerable trouble.

However, Cole Jia soon witnessed the three undead launching an attack directly at Yelang<unk>s castle.

He was incredulous.

Did these three undead truly intend to eliminate Yilyang? The vampire headquarters was situated far from the snowy mountains, and the scattered vampire strongholds contained only a few leaders.

These leaders could hardly withstand a royal level threat.

At that moment, only Count Yuka and his companions were aware of Yiang's subjugation by the vampires.

Even if a vampire were dispatched to deliver Yiang<unk>s blood back to the clan, it would take less than a day for a leader level vampire to return home.

Elong found himself isolated and vulnerable, relying solely on the two level 9 leader vampires left by Count Yuka and his own troops.

Elong was taken aback to discover that Bayou had not come in person.

Instead, she had merely dispatched three undead without any additional forces.

And to his astonishment, all three undead were royal level.

The presence of these royal level beings instilled immense pressure upon Yang, compelling him to fight with all his might.

A thousand vampires surged into the air with 10 leader level vampires leading the charge against the three undead.

Elong could only pray that the undead summoned from royal corpses by BYU were weaker than true royal beings.

For he had witnessed Bayou commanding over 20,000 undead with hundreds of leader level minions fail to vanquish three royal entities.

As the necromancer faced the onslaught of vampires, he instantaneously unleashed his domain.

Countless bones erupted from the vampires, feasting upon their blood.

Over a thousand vampires were insufficient to contend with even one royal level undead, let alone three.

In an instant, the necromancer's bone domain obliterated all ordinary level vampires in the vicinity.

The slain vampires transformed into various undead, launching an assault against the remaining vampires.

Yelyang's scalp tingled.

This royal level adversary could not be defeated through mere numerical superiority.

The more troops he amassed, the greater the number of undead summoned by his opponent.

Strictly speaking, these undead were also a form of sorcerer, which implied their physical forms were quite fragile.

As long as Ulong could close the distance, he stood a chance of vanquishing them.

After all, the blood of vampires could annihilate the undead.

He promptly commanded all his leading vampires to launch an assault on the necromancer.

Their strategy was to focus their fire on a single target, utilizing their speed to evade skeletal assaults in the air while attempting to approach the necromancer.

However, they overlooked the lich.

Though the lich was also a sorcerer, it possessed a degree of melee capability that the necromancer lacked.

Given that the Lich's potential reached the monarch level, while the necromancers was limited to the emperor level, the lich could wield skeletal magic, yet its domain was not that of mere bones, but rather the realm of skeletons.

Suddenly, a massive ice wall manifested before the vampires, shattering to release a multitude of enormous bone spikes that surged toward them, just as the blood of vampires could obliterate the undead.

The skeletal magic of a lich and necromancer could equally eradicate vampires.

Eil Yang and his cohort of vampires dared not be struck by the bone spikes, for the consequences would be dire.
