Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats - Chapter 420: City of Bones

Chapter 420: City of Bones

‘What? Killing 1,000 Undead Generals in a month?’

Ethan was shocked by the new system’s mission.

Killing Undead Generals was not a problem for Ethan; however, killing 1,000 Undead Generals, and that too in a single month?

He even wondered whether there were that many Undead Generals in the Realm.

The thing is, if there were only one type of Undead Being in the Greenheart Realm, Ethan would not have been surprised; however, there are two other races besides the Skeletal Race.

‘Looks like I have to complete the mission even before the Corpse Emperor arrives.’

Previously, Ethan thought he had a lot of time to complete the mission; however, he realised he only had one month.

‘After checking out the City of Bones, I should return to the main body and start the preparations for the mission.’

Ethan silently followed the Undead General as 20,000 Undead Warriors silently followed behind them.

After a few hours, they arrived at the entrance of the City of Bones.

Th𝚒ѕ 𝗰h𝒶p𝗍ҽr 𝙞𝓈 p𝘰𝗌ţ𝕖𝐝 bყ 𝗞𝙞†𝖾𝑛◎νє𝓁

Towering bone gates loomed ahead, carved with eerie runes that glowed with dim, greenish-blue light.

Two gigantic Bone Sentinels stood on each side of the entrance, motionless yet exuding a terrifying aura. As the gates creaked open, a wave of dense Death Essence rolled outward like a storm.

As Ethan stepped inside, even he, an undead, felt a sense of oppressive awe.

There were massive bone structures stretched across the landscape, and the entire city looked like it had been built using the remains of ancient monsters and titanic beings.

Each residence, made of ivory bones, pulsed faintly, releasing pure Death Essence into the surroundings. It was a sanctuary—a paradise for the undead, especially for skeleton-type beings.

‘The Death Essence is very pure here.’

As Ethan walked, the Abyssal Death Essence Refining Technique circulated on its own as pure Death Essence rushed into his Death Core.

The Death Essence in the City of Bones was at least ten times richer than anywhere else in the region, and it was also a good place to cultivate for the Undead Beings.

‘So many… Undead Warriors and Undead Commanders.’

Other than the pure Death Essence, another thing that shocked Ethan was the number of Undead Beings sitting cross-legged in meditation in a canyon.

There were millions of Undead Beings and 100,000 Undead Commanders who were trying to break through to the Nether Soul Realm.

“Since you are so eager to cultivate, you can do so in that Death Canyon until the Corpse Emperor arrives.”

Seeing that Ethan was looking at the canyon, the Undead General brought Ethan to a spot that was empty and asked him to cultivate until the Corpse Emperor arrived and completed the meeting.

“Yes, Senior.”

Ethan nodded, as he was not surprised about the meeting, as he had already got enough details about it from the Undead General.

Since the Life Region in the Greenheart Realm had rapidly expanded in a short time, the Corpse Emperor was angry and arranged a meeting with his subordinate leaders of the three cities.

‘Anyway, it’s time to leave.’

Soon, Ethan sat in a spot that was filled with rich Death Essence and left the Undead Avatar’s body.

That’s right!

Ethan not only gathered valuable information about the Undead Race, but he even received a difficult mission from the system that would determine the future of the Life Region.

Also, since the Undead Avatar was capable of performing simple tasks like cultivating on its own, Ethan’s soul no longer needed to remain inside. Without wasting any more time, he returned to his Main Body.

On the other hand, Dark Overlord, the Undead Avatar, who had received his next command from Ethan, immediately entered cultivation.

His goal was to break through to the Perfected Death Core Realm as fast as possible!

[Abyssal Death Essence Refining Technique]

‘Swoooosh—’

In the very next second, the surrounding Death Essence within the [City of Bones] surged like a violent tornado, spiralling directly into the Dark Overlord’s skeletal body.

The absorption speed was terrifying!

Countless streams of black mist poured into his Death Core like rivers into the ocean, and within moments, the first tremor shook the cultivation ground.

“What is that?!”

Such a massive surge of Death Essence naturally did not go unnoticed. In less than a minute, multiple Undead Generals sensed the disturbance and rushed toward the source with urgency.

When they arrived and saw the black-coloured skeleton without any armour, sitting cross-legged like a death god, absorbing Death Essence with monstrous intensity, they were all frozen.

Actually, there was a reason why Dark Overlord’s Cultivation Seed was so terrifying.

Generally, the comprehension of the Skeletal Race Beings was very poor, and most Undead Generals relied on their Corpse Emperor’s Blessing to cultivate.

It was also because of this that the Corpse Emperor had provided the Skeletal Race the [City of Bones], which was filled with Pure Death Essence that could rapidly increase their cultivation.

Thus, when Dark Overlord, who used the [Abyssal Death Essence Refining Technique] that had reached Perfection-Stage Mastery, cultivated inside such a rich, Death Essence-filled area, obviously, his cultivation speed would be terrifying.

Half an hour passed.

‘Kacha’

A thick death pulse exploded from the Dark Overlord’s body as he broke through to Level 3 of the Death Core Realm.

“…Already?!”

One hour passed.

Another breakthrough. Level 4 Death Core Realm.

“W-what!?” One of the Undead Generals staggered backwards.

“This… this monster!”

‘Abyssal Son… a true Abyssal Son has appeared!’

The atmosphere in the City of Bones grew heavier, but also more awestruck. Every Undead General had the same thought in their skulls.

“That’s right! I was the one who found him! I brought him here!”

The Undead General, who had originally brought Dark Overlord into the city, could no longer hide his excitement.

With a proud posture, he began speaking to the surrounding generals about his achievement.

“Look at his aura! Even before receiving the Corpse Emperor’s blessing, he has reached the Perfected Death Core Realm! What do you think will happen once he receives the blessing?”

The other generals didn’t refute his words. Instead, they nodded in agreement and shared the same joy.

“This is a blessing to the Skeletal Race!”

“Our Undead Army will have another Great Undead General!”

“Perhaps he might even become the first Undead Emperor from our Skeletal Race in the future!”

Then—

A sudden oppressive pressure descended upon the canyon, and all the Undead Generals instantly turned toward the massive skeletal palace at the city’s center.

A terrifying figure cloaked in bone fire and shadow slowly descended.

It was none other than the Great Undead General, the strongest Skeletal Being in the City of Bones.

Thanks to the commotion created by Dark Overlord’s cultivation speed, he had finally arrived.

His hollow gaze swept over the crowd before pausing on Dark Overlord, who sat motionless, his entire body now releasing dense, abyssal Death Essence.

Followed by a long silence, the Great Undead General finally spoke:

“Once he reaches the peak of the Death Core Realm, bring him to me.”

His deep voice was laced with authority and satisfaction. And with those words, he turned around and vanished into the bone palace.

Sitting on the throne made up of bones, he murmured with an eerie chuckle:

“Keke….Amidst all the bad news I’ve been receiving lately… finally, a piece of good news.”
