Cursed Immortality

In the south of the dark ruins, there was a huge crater like a deep pit as it continued to shake, and sonic booms and glowing shock waves appeared deep within.

Inside this crater, Lich King was brandishing his ghostly sword in crimson energy as he menacingly slashed at the giant, leaving afterimages.

The Giant was none other than Crimson War Freedom Lord, but right now, he looked ragged rather than majestic as half of his armor was cracked, deep wounds of swords could be seen over his body, and blood was gushing out.

He was on the receiving end of Lich King's fatal attacks, which seemed to have no end, and he was barely able to block them with his towering red spear.

Lich King, on the other hand, was without any injury. There wasn't a scratch of his armor as dark blue flames were raging over his helmet.

It's only been ten minutes since the Dark Beings had launched an all-out attack on the dark annihilation army, and Crimson War Freedom Lord arrogantly faced off with the Lich King and lured him into this place where the armies won't be affected because of their clash.

However, Crimson War Freedom Lord bitterly found that he had overestimated himself, and now he was thinking about how to save his life.

As for defeating the Lich King, it was a dream that he had awakened from, and he knew only if all the freedom lords worked together would they have any chance of getting rid of this appalling enemy.

"Here I thought the proud Giant Lord would at least pose some challenge, but you are just like those ants… I guess a thrall will be forever a thrall!" Lich King coldly scoffed as the crimson energy around this sword suddenly gushed out, forming a ten-meter-long crimson blade!

Crimson War Freedom Lord's bloodshot eyes were filled with madness as he heard those belittled and disdainful words. Metallic energy suddenly gushed out from his body as he entirely turned into iron. His spear also started to released humming sounds, and he roared while he thrust it toward the crimson blade with fury, "Don't look down on giants. Die!"

A huge explosion reverberated within the vicinity as the ground shook like an earthquake, raising dust clouds and debris.

Within the crater, Lich King was pushed back a few meters before he stabilized himself, while the crimson energy blade was only half gone.

On the other hand, Crimson War Freedom Lord was sent flying like a broken kit and smashed into the wall behind, creating a huge pit.

"Hmph, this dance is over!" Lich King coldly declared a ghastly aura like a raging tilde wave soared from his body, and the energy blade suddenly made an eerie sound before it increased and widened.

But before Lich King could finish preparing for his last attack and finish Crimson War Freedom Lord off, the flame over his helmet suddenly fickler madly.

'What?! My connection with Wight Minister is broken, which could not mean he is dead! NO! The shackle!' Without even thinking twice, the energy blade suddenly vanished, and he promptly jumped toward the sky.

He suddenly roared and let loose a high-pitched voice; he was commanding the dark beings in the castle to hurry over to the underground room and do anything to get rid of the intruder while he was on his way.

But he was only halfway toward the castle when the ground startled to shake, rocking the entire dark ruins.

At this moment, a static voice rang all over the dark ruins, "Trial Dark Ruins has been cleared by the Life Faction. All the participants will be sent out effective immediately!"

"NOOOOOOO…." Lich King shrilled madly, creating a crimson shock wave as everything around him turned to dust.

Golden Swords Freedom Lord, who was in a stalemate with Lich Minister, was gobsmacked by this announcement, "What?! Life Faction completed the trial!?"

"How is that possible?!" Lich Minister felt his body tremble, and the protective barrier around him suddenly got affected by his emotions and was destabilized for a moment.

Golden Swords Freedom Lord snapped out of his stupor as his eyes shimmered in ecstasy and the dual golden swords in his hand shimmered in golden hue before he launched a torrent of attack on Lich Minister, taking full advantage of the other party's distraction. He was simply too thrilled and wanted to get rid of this guy before they were sent out.

The morals of the Dark Annihilation Army also skyrocketed as they all cheered and madly launched powerful attacks on those dark beings.

Underground room, Jacob looked at the statue of a crowned woman with twinkling eyes.

The moment he put the crowned head on top of the headless statue, like a magnet, it instantly connected with the headless status.

Not only that, but the next moment, a golden light suddenly enveloped the throne statue and the entire altar. When the light vanished, the kneeling statue was nowhere to be seen because she had somehow replaced the statue of the king on the throne, and now she was majestically sitting on it like a queen.

Jacob didn't know what to do next as the dark beings were getting closer and closer. But at this moment, he heard a voice,

"Trial Dark Ruins has been cleared by the Life Faction. All the participants will be sent out effective immediately!"

The next moment, a dark hole suddenly condensed behind the throne. Jacob looked at it with relief. He knew it was the passage out of this damn place since he had appeared here the same way.

He was about to take it when his eyes suddenly landed on a shining object lying a few meters away from the passage. If his vision hadn't been enhanced, he would've easily missed it.

It was a black ring with red patterns on it, and now that he thinks about it, he had seen this ring on Wight Minister's finger, so without hesitation, he quickly picked it up.

Without waiting any longer, he jumped into the dark hole, and after Jacob entered the dark hole, it shrunk before vanishing!
