CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 421: UNDERCOVER: A CHOICE BETWEEN TWO

[Challenge Task 3: Form an alliance with the Elf Clan to stop the Abyss Demon King’s plot. (Completed/Uninvolved)]

Ke Yiming was shocked for a long time after seeing the content on the task interface.

The parentheses after Challenge Task 3 showed (Completed/Uninvolved).

This meant that the challenge task had already been completed, but he did not participate, meaning he was not eligible to receive the reward for this challenge task.

However, the reward wasn’t the focus.

The focus was that the task was completed, and the Abyss Demon King referred to in this task naturally pointed to the Bone Sovereign.

Since the task was completed, it meant the Bone Sovereign was defeated.

From this task information, you could only see that the Bone Sovereign was defeated, but its fate was uncertain.

Because this challenge task did not require killing the Bone Sovereign.

No matter if the Bone Sovereign escaped or died, the task could be completed.

Ke Yiming’s mind fell into a moment of bewilderment, his heart pounding fiercely, breathing heavily, uncertain if it was due to the lack of oxygen from excessive blood loss or fear.

He was indeed terrified, because the Bone Sovereign’s defeat meant he would have no chance to escape.

He quickly thought and grabbed Xie Shi’en’s clothes, saying, "You must hate the Creator Organization very much, I can infiltrate the organization for you, be your insider, and help you avenge your teacher."

Xie Shi’en narrowed his eyes slightly, having to admit that Ke Yiming’s words moved him.

He had infiltrated the Creator Organization for half a year, but never reached the true core of the organization.

Since defecting, all his channels for gathering intelligence from the organization have been cut off.

Controlling an undercover agent now could indeed achieve a lot.

Xie Shi’en pondered for a moment and praised, "I have to say, your ability to survive is strong. I will propose this plan to Lu Heng, but whether you live or not depends on whether you can convince him."

...

On the battlefield of Kolos City.

Under the combined swords of Lu Heng and Terres, the skull of the Bone Sovereign shattered into smithereens and completely fell.

After the Bone Sovereign’s fall, the undead skeletons in the sky, on the ground, and on the city walls seemed to lose their souls in a flash.

Six Bone Dragons fell from the sky, crashing to the ground in shattered pieces.

The undead skeletons climbing the city walls were frozen, and a gentle push made them fall, breaking into bits of bone.

A hundred thousand strong Skeleton Army lost its vigor uniformly.

The once fierce battles ended abruptly.

The sudden extinction of the battle flames left many Elf Clan warriors unable to react, swinging their weapons, shouting as they hacked furiously at the fallen undead skeletons, fearing they might rise again.

Until companions beside them held them back, telling them the battle was over, did these tense spirits of the elves clear up.

The dark clouds that originally covered the sky seemed to lose their supporting strength, with water vapor condensing into a torrential downpour, pouring down.

In the heavy rain.

After Lu Heng shattered the Black Crystal Skull using the slaying god trait of the [Judgement Blade], he extracted a purple crystal from it, clearly a piece of Divine Attribute.

Divine Attribute usually only crystallizes after a divine being dies, and naturally also after a demigod’s death.

Lu Heng picked up the Divine Attribute, took a glance at its attributes, and then put it away.

...

A downpour descended.

After a brief period of daze, the warriors of the Elf Clan slowly realized they had won this battle.

Despite the victory, Kolos City was still left in a state of devastation.

The city walls showed no intact brick, scarred with marks of blades and axes, and bearing traces of demonic flames.

Someone, the first one, sang out the ancient dirge of the Elf Clan.

The elves who heard the song clasped their fists, joining in the hum.

The ancient elven dirge reverberated through Kolos City, melodious and far-reaching, both cheering for victory and bidding farewell to fallen comrades.

Besides the fallen comrades, there were more wounded warriors.

Lightly injured warriors either supported or carried severely wounded companions into buildings to escape the rain.

Healers, Nature Messengers, Druids, Arcane Masters—elves capable of healing the wounded—all spontaneously treated the injuries of their comrades.

Queen Orelana was severely injured, yet she still forced herself to go to the Space Corridor and opened the Space Gate leading to the Moon Well, allowing the Druids to draw water to heal the wounded clansmen.

...

After this battle, Lu Heng’s group of four reached the pinnacle of reputation among the Elf Clan, receiving respectful greetings wherever they went.

During the intense battle, Kolos City’s Magic Prohibition Prison maintained the minimum standard of guards.

With the token given by Queen Orelana, Lu Heng encountered two guards at the door, who respectfully greeted him with their hands over their chests as they entered the dungeon.

In front of the cell holding Ke Yiming, Xie Shi’en returned the Blood-colored Scythe.

Lu Heng put away the scythe, then looked at Ke Yiming with a calm demeanor, bearing traces of battle and wounds in several places, but with a full spirit and fierce aura.

Ke Yiming observed for a moment and asked, "The Bone Sovereign... was it taken out?"

Lu Heng replied flatly, "It was taken out."

Ke Yiming let out a breath, feeling very complicated.

Before this battle began, he thought the Bone Sovereign was sure to win.

Following the Bone Sovereign he had awoken those powerful biological skeletons along the way, he knew very well how strong those biological skeletons’ combat power was.
