chapter 0156 part 3
The dwarf goblin looked at the static-filled screen of the drone controller in his hand with a slightly trembling hand. Thud, he fell headfirst onto the ground! "He was scared to death!"
A Black Wizard looked at the goblin's corpse and frowned.
"Prince Nuada, what exactly is Outside?" The Black Wizard looked at the Elf Prince, who had just straightened up with a backbend, and asked.
When the dwarf goblin was controlling the drone just now, hindered by the Elf Prince's long spear, among the people present, except for him and the dead goblin, no one else saw clearly the footage captured by the drone.
Prince Nuada glanced at the Black Wizard wearing a cloak. As for these guys who deal with Dimensional Evil Gods, even he didn't want to provoke them.
"It's something composed of white bones, with spirits of the dead attached to them. It seems like Undead Wizard's magic?"
"Undead Wizard? After the Middle Ages, the surviving Undead Wizards are few and far between. Besides Urnos, I can't think of anyone else who can use this kind of large-scale Undead Barrier!"
The Black Wizard's voice was heavy and hoarse, stating his inference about this matter.
"You are slandering me! Little fellow, if you don't apologize, I'd be happy to collect your bones as a specimen!"
A hoarse voice, no less than the Black Wizard's, came from behind in the crowd. Many orcs and trolls all looked backwards.
Four strong and robust trolls were carrying a sedan chair, walking inwards.
A huge body like a mountain of flesh was sitting/lying on the sedan chair. From the head, one could vaguely see the shadow of a troll, but with this obese physique, it weighed at least over a thousand pounds. With every step the four trolls carrying the sedan chair took, the ground seemed to be shaking.
The troll lying on the sedan chair twisted its body laboriously, talking to a Black Wizard beside him.
The Black Wizard walking beside the troll's sedan chair likewise wore a full set of one-piece hooded cloak, but he held a White Bone Staff in his hand.
"Urnos?" The Black Wizard in the crowd looked fearfully at the cloaked person holding the White Bone Staff, clearly recognizing his identity.
Besides being amazed and fearful, this Black Wizard seemed to forget to hide her identity, revealing a clear female voice.
Urnos looked at her with some surprise: "Witch, I didn't expect there were still Witches existing after the Middle Ages?"
"Which Dimensional Evil God do you believe in, little girl? These Evil Gods are not easy to deal with!"
Urnos cackled strangely, two balls of ghost fire flickered under his cloak, staring intently at the Witch in front of him.
The Witch felt a chill run down her body from being stared at by Urnos and pulled down her hood.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Urnos, no offense intended. It's just that you are the most famous Undead Wizard in the entire Underworld, so when I saw the Undead Barrier Outside, I thought of you!"
Urnos saw the Witch sensibly soften and apologize, only then withdrew his gaze and placed his sight Outside the door.
"Kate, Kate, heard you, requesting emergency support, requesting emergency support—"
Abe Sapien, the Fishman in the crowd, squeezed among a group of half-orcs, secretly using his communicator to report the situation in the Troll Black Market to Kate in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense New York Branch.
Fortunately, neither the magic formation in the Troll Black Market nor the strange black mist Outside could block signals.
Abe Sapien nervously looked towards the suddenly appearing Urnos. The appearance of this Undead Wizard, who was ranked among the top three on the Bureau for Paranormal Defense's wanted list, made him feel uneasy. He secretly watched Urnos's situation. This Black Wizard was clearly attracted by the black mist Outside the door.
He didn't notice Abe Sapien, such a small figure squeezed among the trolls.
"Static—"
Abe Sapien was urgently contacting Kate when his communicator suddenly lost connection. Besides the static sound of electric current, no other sound came through. Outside the Troll Black Market, ten minutes ago,
Tang Song, with a dark face, watched with his own eyes as a drone flew out from the Troll Black Market, even flying out of the area enveloped by the black mist formed by the Ghoul White Bone Banners.
It wasn't until he saw an Undead Warrior inside the white bone banner shoot down the drone with a spear that the ugly expression on his face slightly calmed down.
After all, the Jambudvīpa World didn't have this kind of technology. The white bone banner only targeted living things, it's very normal, very normal—
Tang Song took a hard puff of his cigar, silently telling himself in his heart.
"Red Queen, block all signals within five kilometers nearby!"
"Amelia, go in and tell the people inside to hand over Alexander Corvinus!"
"Yes! BOSS! Signal has been blocked!"
Red Queen's voice came from Tang Song's wrist. A brand new mechanical watch was worn on his left wrist.
This watch, with a quite mechanical style design, was a micro computer designed jointly by over a dozen programmers and computer experts from the Tang Group's Skynet Information Department.
Boss Tang carrying it was equivalent to carrying the Artificial Intelligence Red Queen with him. With the help of this micro computer watch, Red Queen could not only remotely control electronic signals and hack into others' computer equipment, but also block nearby signals.
Of course, Red Queen's main program was still in the Skynet Information Department's main computer room. The micro computer in Tang Song's watch was just a subsystem.
With a single order, Red Queen immediately blocked all signals within five kilometers nearby.
At the same time, a Blood Shadow separated from the shadow beneath his foot, turning into a streak of Blood Light that merged into the black mist enveloped by the Ghoul White Bone Banners.
Urnos held the White Bone Staff, pointing towards the black mist Outside the Black Market. From one end of the Skeleton Staff, several streaks of pale white and eerie green rays occasionally flew out. But these rays, hitting the black mist, each seemed like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace. The black mist didn't even change a bit.
Seeing that his few rays were useless, Urnos waved his cane, and a Skeleton holding a tattered Cruciform Sword appeared out of thin air in the Troll Black Market.
Under Urnos's command, the Skeleton Soldier crossed the iron gate and walked towards the black mist area Outside—
Clatter!
The Skeleton Soldier holding the Cruciform Sword had just come into contact with the black mist when its entire body instantly collapsed into a pile of white bones.
Several strands of black energy hung down, instantly rolled up these white bones, and merged into the black mist.
It was eaten! Urnos looked in surprise at the high sky heavily filled with black mist. Just a moment ago, he felt that the Malevolent Spirit of the Skeleton Soldier he controlled had been devoured by some kind of existence.
That feeling was just like the feeling he had when he first came into contact with a Dimensional Evil God back then.
Could it be that someone held an Evil God Ritual here, wanting to use the people in the Troll Black Market as sacrificial offerings to summon a Dimensional Evil God? But aren't they afraid of those Mages from the New York Sanctum?
"Mr. Urnos, how is it, is there a way?!"
The owner of the Troll Black Market, sitting/lying on the sedan chair, looked at Urnos, who was standing frozen in place, and couldn't help but ask urgently.
