After triggering the Undead calamity, Hal had created this enormous dragon-headed giant. This mixed monster had been pieced together by combining an ancient demonic dragon and a legendary ancient Titan giant. Its power was terrifying. Moreover, the demonic soul of an Ancient Demon King was stationed in it. It was unknown where Hal, this Junior Undead Shaman, had found these valuable materials in such a short period of time.

Unfortunately, Hal’s abilities were limited since he was just Junior Undead Shaman. In addition, the destructive power of this mixed monster assembled in such a short period of time was also limited. For Clyde, although this giant monster looked terrifying, its destructive power was well within his endurance limits. After the enormous dragon type giant stood, it walked towards Clyde, raising its huge right claw. Ferociously swinging down, it swatted at Clyde to turn him into meat pulp.

Clyde, however, was fearless and looked straight at the huge claw descending from the sky. Although he could dodge, he intended to forcibly endure it to feel the strength of this giant. He raised his hand, but just when he was about to meet that huge claw head-on, countless abyss tentacles below Clyde’s feet instantly turned into a huge black energy hand, meeting the huge dragon claw’s attack head-on.

“Presumptuous fellow, break into pieces for me! Eh, this energy is...”

“Sorry, I wanted to test your power, but my kin seem unwilling.”

After a brief wrestle, the enormous dragon-type giant couldn’t compete with the attacks from the abyss hand and could only retreat. Shortly afterward, in front of the dragon giant, a terrifying, colossal pool filled with a strange liquid resembling petroleum appeared. That black liquid bubbled as if it were boiling, swallowing the ground of the palace. From inside the pool, countless black, abyssal hands grasped out trying to pull others into the abyss.

After a short while, a huge monster sprang from the black pool. It looked like a giant made of black clay. It was over three hundred meters tall and still growing. The black giant didn’t have any facial features, just a blank circle for a head.

The dragon giant violently trembled, afraid of the dark giant. Its height was less than half the other, so its momentum was suppressed. Clyde stood on the head of the abyss giant and looked down on the so-called dragon giant. Now, it could only be counted as a dragon dwarf. This abyss giant was an ordinary-level abyss monster, a minion, nothing more. It was a monster born from darkness and abyssal resentment. It was similar to the dragon giant in that both could be regarded as synthetic monsters. Although this minion had terrifying combat power, when it came to the terrors of the abyss, it was only the tip of the smallest iceberg in a fleet of glaciers.

The abyss giant punched out, smashing the sternum of the dragon giant on the spot. The dragon giant swayed and retreated tens of meters. It didn’t have the ability to counterattack at all. Among the army of over 300,000 demonic creatures watching from the peripheries, with the exception of the 100,000 demonic creatures under Ancient Demon King Andrisno, the demonic creatures were so scared that they retreated several hundred meters away. They didn’t know that that abyss giant belonged to friendly forces. They could only watch the battle between the two behemoths in fear.

The attacks of the abyss giant didn’t stop. After breaking through the dragon giant’s chest, it swung its hands, forcing the dragon giant to raise its hands to block. Along with a “kacha” sound, the dragon giant’s arms were directly torn off. Since Hal’s masterpiece had been rushed, the links had not yet completely set; therefore, the superior strength of the abyss giant allowed it to directly rip the dragon giant at its seams. The torn-off arms flew out the palace, creating a cloud of dust and smoke when they landed.

Upon seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, the dragon giant flapped its wings to fly away. However, the abyss giant had already seen through its thoughts. Bear-hugging the dragon giant to keep it grounded, it crushed the dragon bone wings on its back. Panicking, the dragon giant gave out a solemn and stirring roar. Opening its dragon mouth, it spat out its strongest dragon breath attack. It knew that the situation was hopeless, so it could only attempt to redeem face by desperately aiming for mutual harm.

However, the abyss giant remained still, not even attempting to defend. When the pale light beam hit the abyss giant, there were no great waves. The last-ditch struggle of the dragon giant was futile. After the breath attack ended, the abyss giant grabbed the dragon giant’s neck and lifted, watching the dragon giant struggle in the air.

Without giving any time for Clyde to decide, the abyss giant exerted its strength, crushing the dragon giant’s neck and splattering its head. The huge demonic dragon’s skull broke into pieces and scattered. In the battle between two dark monsters, the abyss giant had won a complete victory. From the beginning to the end, the dragon giant had passively taken a beating. Even its final counterattack didn’t have any effect.

The remaining headless skeleton fell to the ground with a loud crash. This battle, Clyde hadn’t even issued any orders. The abyss giant had finished the battle by itself, saving Clyde’s efforts. The Ancient Demon King’s soul emerged from the skeleton as a floating white light before quickly shooting toward the palace. At this moment, Clyde realized that Hal had already slipped away. Realizing that the dragon giant would be defeated, that Undead Shaman’s had been disillusioned with his grandeur and fled into the palace.

Clyde made the abyss giant use its hands to place him on the ground. After that, he chased Hal into the palace. To his surprise, Hal hadn’t run far away; he was in the palace hall, behind the throne that had originally belonged to Suzerain Earl Harrison. At this moment, the Undead guards had all already fled upon understanding that the situation was hopeless. Hal had already become isolated prey trapped in the palace.

When Clyde entered the palace hall, Hal violently trembled, hiding behind the throne. After seeing Clyde, he knew that hiding was useless and hesitantly emerged. That shriveled face’s expression revealed that he’d already accepted death; however, he could already be regarded as dead, so there were no issues with dying again.

“Your Excellency Hal, I beg your pardon. My family’s junior was heavy-handed and crushed your trump card. That was not my fault; your workmanship was lame. The limbs weren’t connected properly.”

“How could this have been? The power of an Ancient Demon King and Titan giant couldn’t even touch your mud puppet! You... who exactly are you?”

“I... I am just a passing... Forget it. What can I say to a soon-to-be disappearing fellow. Be a good person in the next life!”

“No, my plans cannot end here!”

Hal’s mental state collapsed. Raising the bone magic staff in his hand, he summoned a large number of skeleton soldiers, attempting to stop Clyde’s attack. Like the dragon giant from before, he was putting up a last-ditch struggle. However, before these summoned skeleton soldiers could approach Clyde, those abyss hands on the ground tore them to shreds. Clyde casually walked the dust left from their destruction. Holding his sword with both hands, he swung toward Hal. The crystal ball in Hal’s hand emitted a brilliant light, forming a transparent defense barrier to stop Clyde’s attack.

Clyde’s sword directly split that transparent barrier and halved the bone magic staff in Hal’s hand. After the destruction of the magic defense barrier, the crystal ball in his hand was unable to withstand the energy recoil and disintegrated on its own. Hal’s final weapons had been destroyed by Clyde.

“Farewell, Hal. Your sisters and properties... I will properly take over them. You can go on your way at ease!”

“No, wait! We can talk...”

“Sorry, I’m not interested!”

Clyde’s sword pierced through Hal’s chest. This chef culprit who had triggered the Undead calamity in Atad finally received his punishment. He had an unreconciled expression as if he were unwilling to believe that his end had unexpectedly not come from the light’s punishment but rather from the dark’s.

Undead Shamans were no longer humans. They couldn’t be eliminated by attacking ordinary vital parts. However, Clyde’s sword was shrouded in dark power that directly destroyed Hal’s rebirth ability. This Undead Shaman stumbled back onto the throne as his entire body emitted white mist. His resentment aura gradually dispersed.

Before Hal died, he raised his hand and pointed towards a direction, seemingly wanting to trade with Clyde for its life. However, Clyde’s movements were too quick. Before the trade could begin, Hal died. Clyde discovered that Hal had pointed towards his mysterious basement.

After killing Hal, Clyde didn’t immediately leave. He realized that he seemed to have missed that Ancient Demon King’s soul, nearly allowing that fellow to escape. Thinking of this, Clyde decided to personally handle the aftermath. He looked around for a while before deciding that only Hal’s mysterious basement could hide a person. Thinking this, Clyde walked over to the basement, wanting to see whether that Ancient Demon King’s soul was hiding inside.
