3/4
Although the sea of skeletons had ended, they had also paid a heavy price.
Nearly half of the forty-two elite imperial soldier Olba had brought were now dead.
In fact, if they had progressed through the maze at a normal pace, the combat power of the elite imperial warriors was indeed much stronger than any Syndicate adventurer. With a reasonable combat layout, it was possible to achieve zero casualties against the skeletons in the maze.
Unfortunately, due to the hunter "Skeleton King's" move, all the skeletons in the maze were "mob pulled" over. Suddenly facing hundreds of skeletons at once led to the current tragedy.
"Useless!"
The Seventh Prince, who cherished these elites very much, immediately ordered someone to seize Pastor. This Skeleton King now looked like a spy or traitor.
As for the bound Pastor, rather than feeling wronged, he was actually filled with confusion and bewilderment in his heart.
Why?
I am a high-level necromancer.
Why wouldn't these low-level skeletons listen to me?
Pastor had never encountered this situation before.
But according to the rules of necromancy, unless...
Could it be that here, there is also an undead creature far surpassing my level and even more powerful!?
This was the only possibility that could allow low-level skeletons to be immune to his necromantic control.
But the problem was, Pastor's most glorious achievement was summoning a sixth-tier "Undead Overlord".
What undead was stronger than an "Undead Overlord"?
Wait, could it be...
Pastor's eyes widened as he realized that above the Undead Overlord, there was indeed an absolute ruler, an existence he considered impossible.
The Skeleton King.
If the empire obtained many of his former authorities as the hero, most of them would be extremely effective against the demon race.
Even without the user being very powerful, just borrowing those hero's relic powers could unleash enormous destructive power.
That's why Reji chose to set the battlefield on the fourth floor's Emerald Forest.
Even if that Seventh Prince really brought out something, when facing non-demon units, its effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
But what happened next, the images transmitted from the projection, surprised Reji a bit.
...
"A forest!?"
The imperial army was now looking around, instinctively starting to huddle together, filled with confusion and bewilderment about this unknown space.
What's going on?
The interior of this ruin was actually this big!?
This was no longer some dungeon maze.
This, this was simply like a small world!?
Even Olba himself was flustered, let alone the rest of the imperial army. They had never seen such a scene before. Fortunately, there was still a calm sage in their team.
At this time, Leon came forward to explain the principle of the dungeon's space to everyone. For some powerful dungeons, it was indeed possible for the interior to have compressed space.
Gradually, the emotions of the imperial army were calmed down. The Seventh Prince once again sighed at what true assistance was. Leon's composure was simply incomparable to even the hunters.
However, now that they were in a forest environment, another hunter took the initiative to volunteer.
"Let me lead the way for Your Highness."
A rough voice came. The speaker was a burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His ranking on the imperial hunting list was one lower than the previous Skeleton King Pastor, only 71.
But the field he specialized in happened to be perfectly compatible with the current "forest" environment.
Tedino, the King of Beasts.
Able to communicate with birds of prey, even the fiercest beasts were like kittens in front of him. The forest environment was simply like a fish in water for him.
