Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 421: Endless

The Duke heard the conversation between the siblings and glanced again at the undead, who were indeed dressed like the ordinary townsfolk here.

Neither he nor Vivian had entered Black Oak Town during the day, so they had no impression of these townsfolk.

However, Leonard and Ella personally commanded the cleansing of Black Oak Town with slave creatures, hence they had some impression of the deceased townsfolk.

At the time, Ella watched with both fear and excitement, but now that excitement had doubled into deep-seated terror within her.

The Duke realized that the present situation was likely related to the day’s cleansing, even saying that Leonard’s sibling’s massacre led to the current scenario.

They were implicated, though it’s not entirely Leonard and Ella’s fault, as the mission above demanded a carpet search and cleansing.

The two were eager to claim credit, so they actively executed the task, being the first to arrive in Black Oak Town.

With the quick increase in undead numbers, solely relying on the Storm Dragon Eagle and the Three-headed Magma Lizard was insufficient to hold them back completely.

Many undead had rushed to Duke’s side. The Duke wielded his Blazing Sun Judgment and gently swung the sword, a white sword glow flew out, instantly clearing the undead filling the street.

This massive crescent-shaped sword light, purely composed of condensed light energy, flew from the sword, sweeping over the street filled with undead as if a hot knife through butter.

This wasn’t a magic spell, merely a pure outpouring of light attribute energy, amplified by the Blazing Sun Judgment.

Moreover, light attribute energy naturally has a strong restraining effect on undead element creatures, making the sword glow’s effect even more pronounced.

Where the sword light passed, the hideous undead vanished in melting and vaporizing like ice under sunlight, turning into black ashes.

The street, originally blocked and airtight, was cleared of a blank area tens of meters long by this single stroke.

However, this emptiness lasted less than two seconds before more undead filled the street from the dense darkness, seemingly endless.

The Duke and his companions couldn’t catch their breath and continued to slaughter the surrounding undead.

After half an hour, the Duke remained in good condition, sustained by Earth Spring, Holy Glow, and magic potion replenishment, hardly any loss overall.

The intensity of the battle was not high for him, only the lack of breathing space was an issue.

Vivian was constantly using wind magic against the surrounding undead, but the effects of wind magic were not very effective on these undead.

For example, wind blade spells can only inflict some physical damage on the undead, but do not completely destroy them.

Even if the undead lose a leg, they can crawl along the ground; light attribute, thunder attribute, and fire attribute spells are better suited.

However, the scenario for Leonard’s siblings was quite worrying, especially as Leonard had consumed much of his magic power, needing constant magic potion replenishment.

But the magic potion supply is limited, and if this continues, it will eventually reach the point of exhaustion.

The same goes for the Duke, though he can last significantly longer, it would take an extraordinarily long time for the undead to wear him down.

In terms of endurance, the Duke is confident he’s second to none.

But continuing like this is not a solution; obviously, the undead cannot be eliminated, finding the root of the problem is necessary to resolve it.

The Duke contemplated, sending a spiritual power message to the Storm Dragon Eagle to investigate the town’s surroundings for anomalies.

Among them, only the Storm Dragon Eagle was suited for this task.

Since there are no undead in the air, it can freely soar and examine the entire town.

The space itself is not very large, only covering the area of Black Oak Town and its surrounding edges, with the Storm Dragon Eagle’s speed, it can quickly encompass the whole town’s situation.

The Storm Dragon Eagle emitted a sharp yet cautious cry, its massive wings suddenly beat, ascending rapidly, leaving behind the chaos below, and probing into the eerie pale sky.

It stabilized its flight in high altitude, its keen eyes like the most precise detector, scanning the dying and chaotic town below.

In its perception ability, the town below was simplified into an energy flow chart.

Countless gray-black energy light points representing the undead surged towards the four at the town’s center like ants.

The source of these light points was promptly locked by the Storm Dragon Eagle’s gaze on the central square area of the town.

There, it saw an astounding scene.

The pervasive deathly air and resentment over the town, under the influence of an invisible field, formed a massive, unseen vortex, constantly converging on what appeared to be an ordinary ancient well in the square.

The ancient well, as if a bottomless black hole, voraciously devoured these negative energies.

Above the well, highly concentrated dark energy nearly turned solid, surging like a fountain, quickly shaping into those howling undead, joining the attacking army.

The Storm Dragon Eagle instinctively felt fear of a pulsing, immensely concealed yet forbiddingly cold and powerful energy core from deep within the well, as if something terrifying was being nurtured at the bottom of the well.

It instantly relayed everything sensed back to the Duke via spiritual power message.

Integrating the information from the Storm Dragon Eagle, the Duke soon confirmed the issue lay in the ancient well.

This ancient well is Black Oak Town’s main water source, where residents mostly drew water for years.

The well’s location is convenient, positioned in the town square.

The Duke’s location was not far from the square, under normal circumstances, just seconds away.

But now surrounded by endless undead, reaching there meant clearing these undead while moving forward.

To save time, the Duke directly relayed his findings via spiritual power message to Vivian, as well as to Leonard and Ella.

Upon receiving this message, they too understood the problem lies with the well, needing to inspect it for a possible solution to the current predicament.

Leonard glanced at the square less than a hundred meters away, but his expression grew darker.
