Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 2442 –  Dejected

Chapter 2442  Dejected

Fang Heng immediately focused and tried it out.

Indeed, after the academic integration skill level had been upgraded, the backlash effect on his mental strength in the sea of consciousness had diminished significantly.

This confirmed that Teacher Gu Luo’s deduction was correct.

Fang Heng felt somewhat reassured.

The problem was not major; being able to diagnose the cause was sufficient.

At that moment, his mental strength was already able to operate at 80% efficiency without being affected by the backlash.

It was already quite good.

Moreover, after upgrading to mid-tier academic integration, he was able to save a significant amount of experience points required for skill upgrades.

This was far better than drawing an epic-level item.

While he was thinking about this, a game hint reappeared.

[Hint: The player has completed mission-The Battle Will of the Death Knight.]

[Hint: Mission publisher’s current will have been extinguished. The player has lost the reward recipient, and the reward has been canceled.]

[Hint: The player has received 10,000 King of Gods’ points as compensation.]

[Hint: Game evaluation… Due to the player’s actions, the player has successfully inflicted serious injuries on the Holy Realm’s pursuit team. The Holy Realm’s pursuit team will pause their pursuit of the player.]

“Tsk…”

Seeing the latest game notifications, Fang Heng scoffed disdainfully and shrugged.

At present, although the death knight was dead, the crystallized ice shard in his sea of consciousness remained. It appeared quite unstable.

According to what the death knight had said, in the death realm, lower ranks were always absolutely subordinate to higher ranks.

Since the death knight could use this crystal to invade his sea of consciousness and attempt to extinguish his will, then other death knights could potentially do the same.

Even those above the death knights…

For example, the former master of the death realm, Empress Persephone, must have had similar abilities.

If he were to encounter her, would she be able to exert some form of control over him?

It seemed that a battle of wills between the demonic seed and Empress Persephone was inevitable.

Fang Heng gave a self-deprecating smile and shook his head with some resignation.

After receiving the boost from dimensional energy, he did feel a bit inflated, easily dealing with the World of Forests. But now, facing the wills of these ancient legendary creatures, he still felt like a lamb to the slaughter.

He would have to take things one step at a time.

At least Fang Heng thought that since Empress Persephone had been missing for so long, the problem might not be severe.

Compared to that, the demonic seed of Jealousy in the sea of consciousness was a much greater hassle.

At least this ordeal didn’t seem entirely futile, as he had gained the advancement of the Death God bloodline, although it was a more dangerous version.

Additionally, there was the Frostbone Dragon sealed within the Shrine of Bones.

Sealing it in the Shrine of Bones was relatively easy.

Once it was suddenly released, it might still have some unexpected effects.

With that in mind, Fang Heng looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

The Frostbone Dragon, having lost control, had flown quite a distance and was now outside the main city of Catantul.

As for what came next…

The Purifiers from the Holy Realm might still be pursuing him. To be safe, Fang Heng decided to make a quick escape.

He pursed his lips.

Feeling disgruntled about being chased and harassed by the Holy Realm, he couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated at the thought of just running away like this.

Perhaps he should find a few isolated targets to vent his anger on and pick on some easy prey?

With that thought, Fang Heng quickly headed back toward the Catantul main city area.

When he left the death knight space, he instructed Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo to take advantage of the chaos caused by the death knights to escape. They were to meet up at a hidden location outside the city once everything settled.

Given the level of chaos and their Death God forms, they should be able to get away without major issues.

It was not a problem.

…

After flying for a full hour, Fang Heng, in his bat form, finally returned to the designated area on the outskirts of Catantul where he had arranged to meet Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo.

Seeing Fang Heng’s return, Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo let out a sigh of relief and emerged from their hiding place.

“Mr. Fang, we were starting to worry about you,” Li Shaoqiang said.

“Indeed,” Fang Heng shrugged nonchalantly. “Ran into a bit of trouble, but it’s been sorted out. By the way, how’s the situation now?”

“We’ve been keeping an eye on things from here. Some of the Holy Realm forces have left, but there are still quite a few remaining.”

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo had witnessed the intense battle and, after escaping, had hidden here to observe. They had seen several flashes of descending light, indicating that part of the Holy Court forces had departed.

“Hmm.”

Fang Heng mused, thinking that it was likely the Holy Realm’s adjudicator, Orkney, who had left.

“There’s also some not-so-good news to share with you both,” Fang Heng continued.

Li Shaoqiang’s expression tightened at the mention of bad news, “What’s that? Mr. Fang, don’t scare me.”

“It’s about the Death God bloodline and the ice crystal imprint.”

Fang Heng then briefly explained the situation involving the death knight’s attempt to seize his body and erase his will, as well as his own suspicions about the potential threats.

After hearing this, Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged glances and fell silent.

Well, that was quite a revelation.

No wonder the undead faction wanted to lock away the death knight. It turned out he had set so many traps in secret!

It was like a bottomless pit!

Realizing this, Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo turned to look at Fang Heng.

Wait a minute…

So, Fang Heng’s physical strength and talent had reached the level that even the death knight envied and wanted to seize?

“You two, what are you looking at me for?”

“It’s nothing. I just think the problem isn’t that big,” Li Shaoqiang said with a shrug. “Anyway, since Empress Persephone and her subordinates are mostly dead, the chance of them targeting us is quite small.”

“True.”

Li Shaoqiang continued, “Besides, we’re not that high-level. The death knights from the death realm probably wouldn’t bother with us.”

Fang Heng nodded in agreement and said, “It’s best you think that way. So, there’s something I’d like to ask you to help with.”

“What is it?”

“Haha, I mean, if, in the future, you come across death knights or Empress Persephone’s subordinates, try to find a way to inform me. We can work together to fool them into trying to possess my body…”

“Uh…”

The two of them looked at Fang Heng, their mouths slightly open.

Wow…

They suddenly felt that dealing with Empress Persephone was less troublesome compared to dealing with Mr. Fang.

Fang Heng chuckled to himself, feeling quite satisfied.

Considering the significant gain from defeating the death knight, and with no real cost except some initial anxiety, it was definitely a win!

Next time, he would certainly seize the opportunity again.

After the brief discussion and jokes, Fang Heng refocused, “So, what’s the situation in the city now?”

“We carefully checked earlier. The remaining Holy Realm Purifiers and the knight legion are still occupying the main city area and don’t seem to be planning to leave.”

“Mr. Fang, I heard that the player teams are all retreating to Frost Hell to use its power to counter the Holy Realm Purifier legion. Should we join them?”
