Chapter 2572 Delaying

Chapter 2572 Delaying

Why had the Holy Realm appeared here?

Collete felt a mix of confusion and concern.

"Commander, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. That person's identity is strange, but I can confirm he is neither the resurrected Empress Persephone nor her inheritor. Let's not worry about him, we need to continue."

"Understood!"

Not far away, Fang Heng had once again retreated into the darkness.

He had already tested most of his formidable techniques but still couldn't find a way to deal with the opponent.

Moreover, from their encounter, it seemed the invader had not yet shown his full strength.

Both sides were merely probing each other.

Who could the invaders be?

Fang Heng concealed himself in the shadows again, quietly observing the team of invaders.

From the kill feedback of his zombie clones, it was clear that there was more than one group of invaders.

Their overall strength was comparable to that of death knights.

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had already been transported back to the Zombie World. They would enter Miyisca Fortress through an invitation from there, which would take some time, but they should have returned to the undead council by now.

Fang Heng hoped the council could provide some information.

As for now...

He narrowed his eyes and continued to watch the invader team.

Stopping them from entering the Empress's mausoleum would be quite difficult, at most, he could delay their progress.

Well, he might as well have some fun with them!

After all, with a mission at hand, he could collect experience.

The more, the better!

With that thought, Fang Heng stepped into the spatial passage.

Collete's team believed they had driven off the enemy and quickly reformed their ranks, advancing again toward the passage ahead.

The Bones of Radiance held back the attacks of the Lickers, while the Dark Clan priests behind them unleashed death prayers, gradually clearing the vines and Lickers that had gathered in the center of the passage.

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, a heavy crashing sound erupted from the undead team's rear.

What?

Collete's heart skipped a beat as he turned to look behind the team.

Not good!

He saw Fang Heng had somehow crossed into their ranks and was now amidst the Dark Clan priests, creating chaos.

Fang Heng swung the great holy sword wildly. Each time the sword unleashed its holy ripple, it dealt area damage, creating devastation in its wake.

It's that guy!

Realization struck Collete, and he immediately rushed back to support his team.

Wait...?

Collete's heart raced.

That kid!

Fang Heng clearly had prepared for this. Just as Collete was about to join the fray, Fang Heng vanished from his spot, surrounded by subtle spatial fluctuations.

"Damn it!"

Collete clenched his fists in frustration.

He realized that Fang Heng wasn't interested in a direct confrontation!

Fang Heng possessed some special spatial ability that made him hard to pin down.

"You cowardly insect! Hiding in the shadows, doing dirty deeds! Do you dare to face me head-on?"

Fang Heng had already used secondary space projection to reappear behind layers of entwined vines.

Hehe...

Fang Heng smirked inwardly.

After everything he had experienced in the game, he was no longer the hotheaded rookie easily provoked by mere words.

You can insult me all you want; I'll continue to reap my rewards.

After just a quick foray, he had already taken down two Dark Clan priests.

He had earned over seven thousand experience points.

A nice little profit.

Fang Heng refocused his attention on Collete's team. Due to the mausoleum's maze-like architecture, most passages were narrow, making it difficult for Collete's invading squad to manage the entire team simultaneously.

This created an opportunity for him.

If a direct confrontation was risky, he could resort to harassment tactics!

Fang Heng chuckled to himself as he retreated deeper into the maze, planning to circle and attack Collete's squad from the rear.

He was determined to give them a taste of their own medicine!

Collete had no idea that Fang Heng had already left; he cursed the air for a while before gradually stopping.

In the dark depths ahead, blocked by the vines and Licker swarm, there was no response.

Collete knew that his outburst was unlikely to have any effect.

Yet the pent-up frustration inside him needed an outlet, and he had to vent somehow.

"We move forward!"

After a while, Collete felt somewhat better and regained his composure.

He understood that the enemy aimed to provoke him and delay their entry into the Empress's mausoleum. Getting into the mausoleum as quickly as possible was the best way to counter the enemy.

With that thought in mind, Collete focused, casting his corrosion domain again to clear the obstructing vines and Lickers blocking the passage.

His dagger danced through the air as the Dark Clan mages behind him targeted the approaching Lickers with their spells.

Suddenly, Collete frowned. He heard fighting erupt from the rear of the team.

D*mn it!

Collete felt a surge of irritation.

It had to be that Fang Heng guy again!

Despite knowing the enemy wanted to delay their entry into the mausoleum, he felt powerless to counter it.

He couldn't just allow Fang Heng to slowly chip away at the back of their ranks.

"You stay here! Keep clearing the passage!"

"Yes, Commander!"

With no other choice, Collete took a few elite Dark Clan guards and rushed to the back of the team to provide reinforcement.

...

At that moment, Fang Heng had successfully navigated through the maze and arrived at the tail end of Collete's team, where he engaged in battle.

With the help of a fresh group of Lickers he had summoned nearby, Fang Heng launched a sudden attack from the rear!

The Dark Clan mages were formidable. Even with the advantage of the great holy sword, killing one wasn't easy.

But the rewards were worthwhile!

Taking down one could yield 3000 to 5000 experience points.

Time to grind!

Moreover, Fang Heng noticed that alongside the priests, there were also Dark Clan warriors in the team.

These warriors resembled elite team leaders, possessing exceptional sword skills and undead abilities. They also had auras that could boost the strength of nearby allies.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Cold light flashed!

Fang Heng felt a sharp cut on his body as he was forced back a step. He quickly launched a blood-colored arrow from behind him, forcing the Dark Clan warrior back.

Meanwhile, his wound healed rapidly due to the undead effect.

This was troublesome!

The Dark Clan warrior wielded a long sword with powerful corrosion effects, causing additional armor break, weakness, dismemberment, and strong stun effects upon striking.

After a minor setback from the warrior's attack, Fang Heng was no longer careless.

He unleashed a mental shock!

Recovering from his brief stun, he immediately cast a mental shock on the Dark Clan warrior, sending him into a state of spiritual concussion.
