Chapter 2593 Dragon Grave Mountain Range

Guarding the Dragon Grave Mountain range had been the Kotal family’s mission for generations.

Since the beginning of their bloodline, they had been instilled with this sense of duty.

Their clan had never been involved in war. They had always remained neutral, simply maintaining the order of the Dragon Grave Mountain range, never stepping a foot beyond its borders.

In the past, no one had ever dared to attack a Bone Dragon, for such an act would incur the wrath of the entire Dark Clan, as well as significantly increase the difficulty of summoning rituals.

As they watched the ambushed Bone Dragon slowly fall into disadvantage, anxiety filled their hearts. One of the subordinates spoke up, “Captain Kotal, what should we do? It’s that human! He’s attacking the Bone Dragon!”

“Don’t pay attention to them. They are clashing with the Bone Dragons outside the Dragon Grave Mountain domain. It had nothing to do with us.”

Kotal spoke those words with great reluctance, almost gritting his teeth as he did.

From a young age, Kotal had been entrusted with the care of the Dragon Grave Mountain range, and it deeply pained him to see the Bone Dragon treated this way.

“But… this human, he—”

“Enough!” Kotal raised his hand to silence his subordinate, his voice low and firm. “Report to the Patriarch.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Kotal’s gaze turned once more to the distant battlefield, his eyes narrowing with worry.

He had a sinking feeling in his heart.

That human had no regard for the consequences of his actions. There was a very real possibility that he would ruin the entire Dragon Grave Mountain range.

At the same time, the higher-ups of the undead council were closely monitoring the situation.

The two Bone Dragons were locked in a deadly confrontation, clearly fighting for their lives.

They had already observed, through multiple magical mirrors, the group of zombie clones in the forest below.

The answer was obvious!

There was no mistake!

Fang Heng was clearly planning to press the advantage, using this opportunity to imprint a soul brand on the Bone Dragon, aiming to acquire even more Bone Dragons!

The mentors of the undead council were once again on edge, their hearts suspended along with the unfolding battle.

It was looking promising!

They could see that the Bone Dragon had been tightly restricted by Sirius’s imprisonment skill, while Fang Heng’s controlled Bone Dragon fought desperately with it. As the main body’s strength gradually weakened, the chances of successfully imprinting the soul brand through undead summoning would increase!

The battle had already raged for over an hour, and no one had left, all of them glued to the mirror projections.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, with even the faintest breath audible.

Finally…

It was happening!

Shi Lipeng’s eyes were fixed on the mirror projection. He saw it—success!

As the two Bone Dragons collided once more in mid-air, both dragons were sent crashing down. This time, with the naked eye, it was clear that the blue light in the Bone Dragon’s pupils gradually faded, replaced by a flickering red flame.

The soul brand was successful!

Done!

Shi Lipeng couldn’t help but tremble slightly, his hands shaking with excitement. It was almost as though he couldn’t contain himself.

The Bone Dragon—demigod-level creatures, and there were two of them! This would greatly enhance the combat strength of their entire undead faction!

But then, a sudden realization hit him.

No, that’s not right!

Shi Lipeng stared intently at Fang Heng in the mirror. He was certain—Fang Heng’s objective was far greater than just these two Bone Dragons!

There were more!

Was it ten? Or twenty?

If Fang Heng could amass a whole army of Bone Dragons, it would be a devastating force. Even in the intermediate stage of the game, their undead faction would be nearly invincible!

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged a glance.

They had actually succeeded.

They all felt that their previous guesses had been too cautious compared to Fang Heng’s true ambitions.

If it had been Fang Heng, they realized, his goal would likely have been to capture every single Bone Dragon in the entire mountain range.

….

[Hint: The player successfully imprinted a soul mark on the Bone Dragon’s consciousness through high-tier undead summoning-Bones (modified). The player can now use mental strength to remotely summon and reverse-summon the Bone Dragon.]

Done!

Outside the Dragon Grave Mountain range, in the White Bone Forest, Fang Heng clenched his fist tightly.

The second Bone Dragon had been successfully acquired!

Fang Heng glanced over at Sirius and asked, “Priest Sirius, are you…?”

“I’m fine. I won’t die just yet.”

Sirius slowly pushed himself up, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration as he looked at Fang Heng.

The abilities Fang Heng had demonstrated exceeded his expectations.

If they were given more time, Sirius even felt that they might truly have a chance of finding the Empress’s will and restoring her glory.

Unfortunately, it was too late now.

Even so, Sirius decided to make one last effort.

“Fang Heng, this pace is still too slow. I fear we won’t make it to the Dragon Grave Mountain in time.”

“Mm, hold on a little longer. I’ll speed things up.”

Fang Heng checked on the condition of the two Bone Dragons.

After leaving combat mode, the two Bone Dragons began to slowly heal themselves, aided by the dense death aura in the surrounding death realm environment.

Fang Heng immediately switched his elemental form.

Both sacred study and natural sciences clashed with necromancy, so he needed to adapt.

To accelerate the healing process, Fang Heng knew he would need to rely on elemental science and occult.

Water Cleansing!

Fang Heng cast a water-based healing acceleration skill on the two Bone Dragons, then paused again to wait.

Sirius raised an eyebrow.

Hmm? What’s this…?

Fang Heng was surrounded by rapidly materializing magic arrays.

A large number of Lickers jumped out from the arrays, gathering around Fang Heng and condensing into flesh cocoons.

“Ssshh! Ssshh! Ssshh!!”

After a brief pause, the zombie creatures began to crawl out of the flesh cocoons.

To accelerate the acquisition of Bone Dragons, Fang Heng had two options: either find a way to improve the success rate of the soul imprint, or increase the size of his zombie army.

Right now, he could control two Bone Dragons in battle at once.

Though both were heavily injured, the two-against-one advantage, combined with his coordination with Sirius, made it manageable.

He would continue the ambush.

Fang Heng controlled the two Bone Dragons as they slowly circled above the White Bone Forest, waiting for new prey to fall into their trap.

This time, his luck was good. Fang Heng didn’t have to wait long.

Barely ten minutes after the battle had ended, another Bone Dragon, leaving Dragon Grave Mountain, flew toward the position where Fang Heng was lying in wait.

It’s here!

Fang Heng focused his gaze on the sky, a thought crossing his mind.

Go!

“ROAR!!!”

The two Bone Dragons simultaneously let out a mighty roar, flapping their wings and flying up to intercept the incoming Bone Dragon’s flight path.

The intercepted Bone Dragon was initially puzzled, but before it could react, it was struck head-on by the two Bone Dragons.

The Bone Dragon’s eyes flashed with intense wrath, and it immediately initiated an attack!

The three Bone Dragons once again became entangled in a fierce battle.

Just as expected!

Shi Lipeng, watching the scene through the mirror, clenched his fist in excitement.

The undead council’s faction once again tensed up, following Fang Heng’s every move.

In contrast, Fang Heng, who was actually controlling the Bone Dragons in battle, remained remarkably calm. He simply lifted his head, coldly staring at the Bone Dragons in the sky.
