Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 407 - 23: Farron’s Undead Squad

"Gained 1 point of Source Power Value."

As the prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System echoed, Su Ziyu reached out and grabbed the soul of the swamp giant crab.

It didn’t seem very strong.

However, there were some remnants of the undead in the distant swamp, probably someone unfortunate was dragged in and killed by it. Who knows which unlucky soul it was. There are several crabs like this in the swamp, they even hunt within Gulu’s range, and it’s said that some of the earliest awakened embers were killed by them.

"Let’s move." Frieda the Nun calmly put away her giant scythe and said.

Two Lords of Cinder simultaneously visiting the Falan Fortress.

Those insignificant small monsters were naturally no problem, and they went through them like slicing through melons and vegetables.

It seems that Sister Frieda had been here before.

She pointed at a rather intact building not far away and said, "That’s where the body of the old wolf of Falan is."

"But it can no longer provide the power of wolf blood to anyone."

It’s said that the power of the Falan Undead Squad all came from the wolf blood; originally, they were warriors highly skilled in swordsmanship, and they became Lords of Cinder after absorbing the power of wolf blood.

The old wolf of Falan had been dead for a long time.

Upon hearing that only a corpse was left there, Su Ziyu did not insist on going over but said directly, "Let’s go. Let’s pay the Lords of Cinder here a visit."

The two of them moved forward along the dilapidated road.

Occasionally, some creatures called Gulu would appear; they were once human but turned into these hideous and disgusting forms due to some erosion.

As Su Ziyu was walking, he suddenly heard the clang of battle sounds coming from afar. Sister Frieda seemed to sense something as well, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she softly said, "There are Soul-Sucking Ghosts ahead."

Almost simultaneously as she spoke, the Space-Time Monitor System prompt also appeared.

"Pollution entity discovered!"

Soul-Sucking Ghosts?

Curiously, Su Ziyu walked over and soon two figures in tattered black armor appeared in front of him; their bodies were almost nothing but skeletons, and their weapons were quite exquisite, exuding a dark and evil aura.

"Be careful of their Dark Greatsword."

Sister Frieda reminded, "These monsters will absorb souls!"

Several dozen meters away.

The two Soul-Sucking Ghosts quickly finished off the Gulu in front of them and then set their sights on Su Ziyu and Sister Frieda, who were approaching. These monsters seemed to have completely lost their rationality and appeared quite ferocious and violent, with a great craving for souls. The Soul-Sucking Ghosts launched their attack almost without hesitation, two figures thrusting forward quite swiftly, wielding the heavy Dark Greatsword towards Su Ziyu.

Compared to Sister Frieda, without a doubt, Su Ziyu’s soul was more attractive!

Clang.

Sparks flew.

In their lifetime, the Soul-Sucking Ghosts were knights from some ancient fallen nation, but their strength in battle was even greater after death.

It is said their creation is directly related to the Abyss, and people from Londor can even control some of the Soul-Sucking Ghosts through secret techniques. Sister Frieda was familiar with their moves, easily avoiding the Dark Greatsword, and then severing one of the Soul-Sucking Ghost’s arms with a swipe of her scythe, softly saying, "I see you don’t seem to have a convenient weapon."

"Do you want a Dark Sword?"

Su Ziyu parried the attack with one hand, replying without hesitation, "Yes."

Why not?

It’s always good to have more peculiar items as spares.

"Understood." Sister Frieda formed a strange seal with her hands, with threads of black flame igniting she suddenly jumped and slashed.

If viewed with Spiritual Vision at this moment, one would notice that Sister Frieda also sliced away a portion of the Soul-Sucking Ghost’s soul.

Swish.

The two of them ended the fight almost simultaneously.

However, the Soul-Sucking Ghost that Su Ziyu dealt with turned to ashes upon death, while the one Sister Frieda killed left behind a peculiar black greatsword.

—"Dark Sword (High Tier Peculiar Item): A weapon imbued with Dark Attribute, once possessed extremely powerful lethality but had a portion of its power weakened for unknown reasons. Attributes include Armor Piercing, Heavy Strike, Dark Attribute."

Su Ziyu picked it up and swung it a bit, finding it slightly weaker compared to Yirushir.

However, the Dark Sword was very suitable for cutting and was not too attention-grabbing.

"The earliest Dark Swords used to be stronger, but unfortunately even the Soul-Sucking Ghosts became weaker later for some unknown reason." Sister Frieda softly said, "Perhaps because the fire had dimmed."

The two Soul-Sucking Ghosts yielded a total of 6 points of Source Power Value.

Individual count was 3 Source Power Value each.

If there were enough of them, Su Ziyu would definitely be eager to seek them for a deeper encounter.

The battle here has ended.

Yet Su Ziyu could still faintly hear the sounds of fighting continuing, coming from behind a completely closed door ahead, appearing as if it had existed for a very long time.

"Let’s go."

"The Falan Undead Squad is inside."

Sister Frieda softly sighed and said, "Below lies the Kassas Underground Tomb infested by the Abyss, and the Abyss Watchers have been suppressing it for a very long time."

Kassas was likely the fabled nation eradicated by the Falan Undead Squad.

The entire Falan Fortress was built above the underground tomb, with the Abyss Watchers guarding it year-round, seemingly defending against some formidable enemies breaking free.

Clang clang clang!

The clashing sounds grew clearer.

Su Ziyu glanced over at Sister Frieda beside him and directly reached out to push open the heavy, long-sealed door in front of him.

In an instant.

A mountain of corpses appeared within Su Ziyu’s line of sight, all wearing identical clothing and gear, their tattered capes seemingly soaked in blood, having undergone countless submersions in it, emitting a ruthless, merciless aura. Under the tall, pointed, rhomboid helmets were masks covering mouths and noses, while their aged armor bore numerous damage marks, who knew how long they had been fighting here.

These people were killing each other!

Su Ziyu observed closely and quickly discerned subtle differences between two groups of people; some of them had red eyes with a glint of blood-red light.

"They’ve also been corrupted by the Abyss!..."

Sister Frieda sighed softly, shaking her head as she pulled out her giant scythe and slowly said, "Only when the wolf blood gathers, a Lord of Cinder will be born."

"If you want to face the Lord of Cinder, you must slay them all!"
