The Rise of the Cemetery

Lacar City, ten miles from the edge of the Thunder Mountain Range.

Wearing a loose wizard robe and a pointed hat, the seventh-level wizard Nefes sat alone in the quiet room with his eyes closed, silently waiting for the news ahead.

Finally, after the crystal ball in front of me shone for a while, a distant image gradually appeared inside.

In the center of the image is the face of an old wizard, and the scenery behind him can be seen surrounded by mountains.

"How is the front line? Have you found the two of them?" Nefes asked impatiently.

"We've already found them. But the specific situation, adults should look for themselves!"

After the old wizard in the crystal ball answered respectfully, the scene inside began to turn, aiming at the two incomplete corpses lying side by side on the ground. Half of the flesh and blood of one head had been eroded, and a huge blood hole was opened between the chest and abdomen;

Although the two corpses were beyond recognition, Nefes still recognized the identities of the two from the clothing and some small accessories. They were the two who had just reported to him two hours ago.

It's just that in just one or two hours, the other party has become two pitiful charred corpses. From this we can see how vicious and cunning the intruder they are hunting is!

Soon, the camera focused on the old wizard again.

"My lord, do you think we still need to continue tracking?"

"Chasing! After all, you are closely following its trail, but don't get too close, and keep the intelligence network open at all times. Don't worry, the latest batch of witchcraft that can track the breath of undead creatures will be delivered to you by tomorrow evening at the latest. It’s in your hands. Then you won’t have to take such dangerous close-ups!”

"Yes, my lord! We will arrange the manpower now."

The brief contact was soon broken, and the quiet room was restored to tranquility again.

Wizard Nefes sighed inexplicably, and couldn't help but lament why he was so unlucky that he let the intruder appear directly near his station. According to the reports of the two dead wizards, that strangely shaped undead came straight to the city where he was sitting, which made him feel even more restless.

Intruder!

What a taboo name it is. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the heaven and earth vision this time, I am afraid that as a seventh-level wizard of Nefes, he would not be able to hear such a taboo topic. After reading some obscure information from the wizard association, Nefes finally got a preliminary understanding of the ins and outs of the invaders, but he was still vague about their strength. Otherwise, you can't use this method of casting a net all over the sky to search for traces of the enemy.

He originally thought that the enemy would hide secretly, so he sent a large number of middle and low-level wizards to the cities and towns around the Thunder Mountain Range to enclose the intruder who fell near his station. Now it seems that he underestimated the other party, and the invader showed signs of attacking the city where he was sitting. This could not help but make him estimate the opponent's possible strength level again.

Is the other party confident or smug?

Unfamiliar enemies, too many possibilities, all of which made the nephis wizard fall into a situation where he had nowhere to figure out. A large number of wizards who are good at prophecy and divination were gathered, but after a day, they could only roughly delineate the direction of the other party, but could not directly locate it. This made a large group of high-level wizards dare not leave the station easily . Otherwise, once the other party broke into a densely populated area and made a big fuss, I would lose face as a high-level wizard.

But what made him even more troublesome was the sudden appearance of a large group of unidentified people in several nearby cities. These guys usually hide in the dark sewers, the remote mountain forests with few people, and the underground world where the evil creatures swarm, but now they hear a little trouble, and they are ready to move again. And these cities have just been transferred by Nefes wizards to remove a large number of middle and low-level wizards, and they are in a rare stage of defense emptiness.

Nobles from all over the country and those in power in the kingdom sent messages asking for support, but the wizards of Nefes categorically did not dare to put back the wizards who had gathered with great effort, and could only restrain them with the prestige of high-ranking wizards. A group of restless guys, and then worked hard to catch traces of the invaders on the front line.

According to the information he has so far, apart from the Thunder Mountain Range, traces of intruders have been found in 6 areas in the entire Wizarding World. However, it seemed that he was the only one who could actually track the intruder's footsteps, which undoubtedly made him proud.

The other closest crash site is the Tirisfal Forest near the Thunder Mountain Range, where the most famous Moonlight Lake is said to have found intruders. However, many noble young men and women witnessed at the scene were brutally slaughtered, and it was almost impossible to find any clues to follow up. For this reason, even the district elders there were dispatched to find nothing.

In other cases he knew nothing.

The latest information is always in the hands of the head of the region at the level of the great wizard. If Nefes hadn't made good friends with the regional chief wizard Salman of the Thunder Mountain region, he might not even be able to understand this bit of information, and could only passively wait for the assignment and drive from above.

Since the enemy is a strange undead creature, it is necessary to prepare some arrangements in advance that can restrain it. It's a pity that there are still too few wizards who specialize in positive energy particles, far less than the number of wizards who specialize in earth, fire, water and wind. Although every wizard can use one or two hands of witchcraft with positive energy particles as the core, which may be enough to deal with ordinary undead, but it seems a bit powerless to deal with such a high-level undead with independent intelligence.

It is a unilateral wishful thinking that evil prevails, but the real world is often a reality in which evil prevails.

The peaceful days that have lasted for too long have made the wizards somewhat uncomfortable with the bloody killings of life and death. They are far inferior to the previous generations of combat wizards who expanded their territories in terms of action and danger instincts. Those two rash fools are typical of this type. They didn't even have to think about it, if the intruders were such easy-going meat and vegetables, how could they have alarmed the Wizards Association's sweeping net to wipe them out. I heard that at the Witch of the Northland, a large prayer ceremony is being prepared to welcome the arrival of the clone of the Witch God.

Avatar of the Witch God!

It has been nearly a hundred years since I heard of the arrival of the Sorcerer God. It is unexpected that this alien invasion is so serious that it has reached the point where the Lord Sorcerer God personally descends to take command.

Although the Wizards Association, the Silver Alliance, the Northland Witches, the Eastland City-State Joint Council, and large and small wizarding organizations all believe in the great wizard god, they still tend to act on their own when it comes to specific regional affairs, and there is no completely orthodox one at all. A wizard organization that can represent the wizard god.

The root of this lies in the growth characteristics of the wizard profession. For the high-ranking wizard gods, there is only admiration and respect, but never blind obedience. This made it difficult for the Witch God to occupy a dominant position in large wizard organizations, and instead became a dangerous organization controlled by some radicals.

However, this time, Lord Sorcerer God chose to come to the clone at the witch of the Northland, which may be some kind of symbolic signal.

Perhaps taking advantage of the chaos caused by this alien invasion, the Witch God intends to break up and reorganize the existing wizard organizations in the wizard world, so as to change the current situation that the Witch God cannot expand on a large scale.

This point must have been noticed by all large wizarding organizations.

This time they took such an active part in the extermination of the alien invaders, probably because they wanted to be the first to eliminate the source of the chaos and not give the Witch God's descending avatar an excuse to exert force. However, judging from the strength shown by the intruders so far, the heads of these large organizations are probably going to be sleepless all night.

This time the invaders are tricky!

Although most prophecies, witchcraft and divinations were unable to pinpoint the location of the invaders, the predictions for the future were unprecedentedly dark and bloody. If nothing else, the wizarding world may be going through an unprecedented upheaval from which no one will be spared.

The more he knew about these things, the more silent the wizard of Nephis became.

The chaos has fallen, and everyone has to face the choice of camp.

Those ordinary people may still be able to continue to live as usual without any worries. After all, the choice of the entire plane camp is simply not a game for the big shots they can reach. And a high-level wizard like him, even if he is usually respected, is probably just a high-level cannon fodder and a pawn at this moment, and only those legendary-level wizards can really place pieces on the chessboard.

Do I also need to find a reliable backer?

Thinking over this question over and over again, Wizard Nefes couldn't help rubbing his aching head, and began to weigh up among the few legendary wizards he knew well.

...

In a hidden cave near the edge of the Thunder Mountain Range, the Headless Horseman Celty was sitting on a huge rock silently examining the items in the wizard's pocket.

The original owner of the cave, two big, three small and five sturdy brown bears, was lying quietly in a corner of the cave. His body was covered with deep and long knife marks, but the real fatal wound was on the top of his skull. The huge wound left by the Saber is enough to see the flesh inside. However, under the erosion of the death energy that exterminated everything, it is now an empty shell, leaving only a strong and pungent bloody smell.

Celty is also a smart undead.

With his peculiar shape and dead spirit, it would be an insult to the wizard's wisdom to blend into human society, so he was positioned as a spoiler in the invasion team. A killer who is responsible for fanning the flames and attracting the attention of the enemy. Therefore, in order to better complete the mission while saving his life, he felt that it was necessary for him to understand the basic situation of the surrounding enemies.

From the waist pockets of the two wizards he killed, he found many bottles and jars of mysterious ointments, powders, juices, and some poisonous scorpions, piebald centipedes, and human-faced spiders. Of course, there are also plant seeds whose origins cannot be distinguished. The books he really needs add up to only five, which also shows how expensive knowledge in this world is.

Of course, it is also possible that the wizard who sent out the mission did not have the habit of carrying books with him, but Selti didn't say a word about it, and just quickly browsed the contents aimlessly. Although the foreign language is rare and difficult to understand, there is still the necessary "common writing" spell scroll Celti, plus the soul fragments obtained by extracting the wizard's soul, it is not difficult to decipher these words.

What the wizards carry with them is indeed their witchcraft notes and spellcasting experience, as well as comments on some particularly important events. Among them, what particularly attracted Celti was a word that was repeatedly mentioned in the notes-legendary wizard.

Legendary wizard?

Isn't the world of wizards rated as a plane world with a maximum level of 20? How could there be a legendary wizard?

If there really are legendary wizards in this world, can the invasion team successfully complete the mission?

Celty suddenly tensed up.
