Chapter 91 : The Entire Rotting Legion Mobilizes, Time is Running Out!
Chapter 91: The Entire Rotting Legion Mobilizes, Time is Running Out!
“I’m completely no match for him!!”
“Run! I must run!”
Only this thought remained in Cassius’ mind.
His figure turned into black smoke, fleeing in desperation!
Unfortunately—it was too late!
The speed of the Holy Light far surpassed his imagination, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up to him!
“Hiss!”
Like red-hot iron searing into snow.
Cassius let out a shrill scream.
Half of his hideous body vaporized directly within the Holy Light!
The remaining part of his body smoked black,
Falling from the sky like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move.
Lynn’s figure flickered, appearing in front of him.
He was just about to strike again, to completely purify this calamity.
But he suddenly heard Cassius, using the last of his strength, let out a roar of unwilling fury.
“I… Cassius Morgan… am to fall here… I’m not reconciled!!”
Lynn’s hand suddenly froze midair.
“Cassius Morgan?”
A flicker of surprise passed through his eyes. “The traitorous lord of Williams?”
He had never expected—
That this Lich, whom he had nearly slapped to death,
Was actually the very enemy Liz and Colin had sworn to avenge!
He had almost let him die too easily!
Lynn’s thoughts spun rapidly.
He casually cast a Holy Light Chain, tightly binding Cassius’ broken body.
This chain not only restricted movement but continuously burned his soul.
It made him endure endless pain, yet not die immediately.
As for Cassius—
He had thought himself doomed to die.
But now, seeing his opponent inexplicably stop his hand,
He was first stunned—
Then, wild delight surged through him, the ecstasy of surviving disaster!
“Hahaha! Foolish creature! You actually didn’t kill me outright!”
“Don’t you know that sparing an enemy’s life is the stupidest thing on the battlefield!~”
“I’ll make sure you regret thi—ahhhhhh!!”
Before Cassius could finish his delusional threat,
A soul-piercing agony erupted from the depths of his being, silencing his words in pure pain.
“What, still thinking of turning the tables?”
Lynn sneered. “Sorry, but I’ll make sure you hurt too much to think of anything at all.”
“For the sins you’ve committed—atone!”
As his words fell—
Lynn suddenly frowned and turned his head.
He raised his hand, and another beam of Holy Light shot into the distance.
There lay an ordinary rotting corpse.
But upon closer look, one would find countless sinister blood-red eyes growing upon it!
When struck by the Holy Light,
The corpse instantly disintegrated, and the blood eyes dissipated as well.
However, in the next moment—
Another nearby corpse sprouted the same blood-red eyes again!
Unblinking, it stared fixedly at Lynn in the air.
…There was no doubt.
Everything that had just happened here was being watched through the 【Eye of the Rot Abyss】 by Melunus,
Who saw it all with perfect clarity!
When Lynn’s incarnation appeared and dealt Cassius a devastating blow,
Melunus was at first startled—
But immediately after,
A surge of uncontrollable ecstasy burst forth from its massive, corrupted eye!
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
Its thick, viscous laughter echoed through the Pool of Rot, shaking the fetid waters!
“Fifth-tier! That’s definitely Fifth-tier power!”
“Foolish human! Foolish hound of the Light! You’ve finally made your move!”
“You’ve violated The Violet Armistice! Hahahahaha!!!”
Melunus was so thrilled that its rotting flesh quivered all over.
It had waited far too long for this chance!
Although the Parasitic Plague had infected only over seventy percent of the population and had not perfectly weakened all of Lemon Port’s forces—
That was already enough!
Most importantly—
It and its underlings of Fifth-tier strength could now take action—justifiably!
With overwhelming high-tier combat power crushing forward, there would hardly be any losses at all!
And along the way, that sudden troublesome strongman of the Light — along with the city under his protection — could be crushed into dust together!
Not only that.
They could even use this wave of “feigned fury”
to take the opportunity and completely devour all the surrounding human towns!
As for the Empire who violated the treaty first — they wouldn’t even dare to make a sound!
They could only grit their teeth, swallow it all down, and endure!!
“Transmit the order!”
Melunus’s command spread swiftly.
“Gather the Rotting Legion! All commanders of the Fifth-tier and above, march with me!”
“Target—Lemon Port!”
“The grandest feast… begins now!”
The Pool of Rot began to boil.
Countless slumbering horrors—
opened their scarlet eyes…
…
Lynn’s Holy Light once again shattered a newly-formed blood pupil upon a corpse.
But from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of another corpse not far away, writhing and opening several more.
He frowned, dispersing the golden radiance at his fingertips.
“This is really endless…” Lynn muttered.
It was obvious.
The spellcaster’s source power was terrifyingly deep!
Even from such a vast distance, they could so casually parasitize corpses and spy through them.
Clearing them like this was nothing but a waste of effort.
“To dare to spy so recklessly…”
“Time is running out.”
Lynn ordered the Man in Black to take the convulsing Cassius back to the castle and lock him up.
Then, with a flash—
he appeared beneath the towering gates of Lemon Port ahead of the others.
Captain Lawson of the guard was staring nervously in the direction of the battle that had erupted outside the city.
Upon seeing Lynn appear, he immediately saluted.
“My Lord!”
“Open all the gates, including the side gates.”
Lynn said firmly, leaving no room for doubt: “Let all refugees outside the city in, and immediately assign people to receive and settle them!”
Lawson froze. “All of them?”
“My Lord, there are quite a lot of refugees outside, and many of them are sick. If there are any among them who—”
“The greatest danger isn’t within the city, but in the Undead Legion soon arriving from outside!”
Lawson was overwhelmed by the urgency in Lynn’s gaze and dared not argue further.
He immediately bellowed, “Quick! Open all the gates!”
“Notify the logistics team to prepare for refugee reception! Move quickly!”
The heavy gates slowly creaked open under the turning of the winches.
In the shantytown outside, the refugees who had been despairing and waiting for death—
stared in astonishment at the suddenly opened path to life, and then burst into cries and commotion.
Supporting each other, stumbling and staggering, they surged toward the city.
Lynn didn’t look back. His figure turned into golden light, shooting up toward the castle.
He landed on the terrace outside the study.
Erica and Colin, along with the others, had already been waiting there, each with grave expressions.
“The situation has changed.”
Lynn spoke directly: “The Lord of Rot must have confirmed my ‘violation’. Their army could arrive at any time!”
The owner of those blood pupils—
Lynn could only think of the Lord of Rot.
Erica gasped. “So soon?”
“We were supposed to start the citywide purification tomorrow morning…”
“We can’t wait until tomorrow.” Lynn shook his head.
“I’ll act now—before their army arrives, I’ll first eliminate the hidden threats within!”
“To cover the entire city right now? That’s—”
“There’s no time to hesitate! Save as many as we can!”
Lynn’s tone was resolute. “You organize the personnel, maintain order—especially in the quarantine zone. Wait for my signal before lifting the lockdown!”
Erica nodded heavily.
She was both shocked by Lynn’s decisiveness and fully aware of the immense toll this would take on his spirit.
Before this charismatic young man, her admiration only deepened.
