The entire Tarkus City had almost become a realm of death.
Standing on the city wall, Nadia gazed at the roaring undead creatures that roamed the streets below.
Nadia bit her lip. This was the place where she was born, grew up, and learned.
She had never thought that her hometown would encounter such misfortune one day.
The Undead Poisonous Mist didn't show any signs of dissipating. Although this was only the effect of an alchemy potion and not some powerful enchantment or artifact — for example, the believers in Jenn's hands, there wouldn't be any results even if they waited for a million years.
Of course, generally speaking, there were very few enchantments that could last for such a long time.
However, as a product of high undead alchemy, the Undead Poisonous Mist was rather troublesome.
Thankfully, thanks to that idiot Doante sealing off the city, the undead creatures could only wander around Tarkus City and weren't able to harass other places.
Otherwise, if the city gates were to be opened and these undead creatures were released, it would be as though a group of cockroaches carrying a deadly virus was released.
"These undead creatures are hard to deal with."
Tilly, who stood at the side, knitted her brows and glanced at the surging tide of death below.
On the other hand, Ina, who stood beside her, had a cheeky smile on her face as though the horrifying scene before her was nothing to the half-elf young lady.
After that, the two of them took the initiative to look for Nadia and requested to join in.
According to Tilly, although in principle, they shouldn't interfere with the issue between the 'National Freedom Army' and the Soros Family, the situation had changed. The undead creatures were the enemies of all living creatures, so they naturally had to lend a hand.
Oldman agreed without much hesitation. He had heard from Nadia about the power of the 'Undead Poisonous Mist'. If this poisonous mist couldn't be eliminated completely, the rest of the people who entered would die, and they would even be turned into undead creatures.
In this situation, even if Oldman wanted to help, there was nothing he could do. Therefore, they decided to let Nadia lead a group of people to Tarkus City to find a way to disperse and eliminate the poisonous fog. Then, they would open the city gate and let Oldman lead the others to eliminate the undead creatures and carry out rescue operations.
This elite team was naturally led by Nadia. Zayen, who fought against the undead creatures, and the experienced ranger also joined in, followed by Tilly and Ina.
The only pity was that this adventurer team didn't have enough damage output professions.
Jenn and Ina were half-elf rangers. They could deal with the living, but they were useless against the undead.
Although Tilly was a Grand Priest, she had converted her faith to Jenn. As a follower of Jenn, she didn't receive many offensive spells. Instead, she received spells of confusion, illusion, and perception.
From a certain point of view, this young Grand Priest was as miserable as when she worshipped the Silver Saintess. She probably had no fate with the Five Fireball Sect in this life.
Confusing people's minds and creating illusions. Such spells were naturally very effective against living people, but they had no effect on dead people.
Fortunately, Tilly could at least help the others cover their tracks, which could save them some trouble on the way.
Moreover, Tilly, who wielded the Sky Scepter, was basically a walking radar in human form. There couldn't be a better feeling in this dungeon where the mist was all over the map.
"Miss Nadia, what should we do next?"
"The only way is to disperse the Undead Poisonous Mist in the shortest time possible."
Gazing at the rolling poisonous mist below the city walls, Nadia knitted her brows and said.
Then, she lifted her head and gazed at the top of Tarkus City.
"There's a lighthouse in Tarkus City. Rumor has it that it's the place where the God's Emissary of the Eye of Truth descended. He left his emblem there to protect the city.
In the past, we would enter the lighthouse at this time every year to hold a memorial ceremony.
And now, the only way is to enter the lighthouse and activate the God's Emblem there. Only then can we disperse the evil that pervades the city. "
Nadia paused for a moment as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Jenn brandished the sword in his hand, at the same time sending a reassuring glance to Tilly and Ina, signaling them not to worry.
All the Kin who followed Jenn would receive the same transformation power as Jenn. This wasn't a transformation like the transformation of illusion spells, but a complete transformation from a race to a different creature.
Just like Jenn, he was a human when he turned into a human, and a half-elf when he turned into a half-elf. Even if one dissected him, there wouldn't be any changes.
This was why Zayen dared to wander around under the watchful eyes of the Temple of Light. When he transformed into a human, even if the priests and holy knights cast ten thousand racial judgments on him, they could only conclude that the person in front of them was a human.
Even Nadia's ability from the Eye of Truth couldn't see through Jenn's transformation.
As his spawn, Tilly and Ina naturally mastered this shapeshifting ability. In Zayen's dungeon system, almost all succubi races had such a skill called [Shapeshifting: Ability to change between races (LV1)].
However, this ability could only allow them to switch between the succubus and their original form at first. To improve this skill, it might require more faith in Zayen, or more training.
But no matter what, as long as they didn't change back to their Succubi form, the holy power that targeted demons and spirits wouldn't harm them.
In fact, Jenn also suspected that even if they changed back to their Succubi form, they wouldn't be harmed.
Because the Succubi race had just appeared in this world, under Jenn's guidance, they had always been neutral. Have you ever seen the Evil-Vanquishing Slash have any effect on the Dwarves and Nagas?
However, Jenn didn't have the time to study it. He was sure that even if Nadia activated the holy power of the Eye of Truth, it wouldn't have any effect on Ina and Tilly.
So, he comforted them through spiritual communication and quickly made a decision.
"Time waits for no man. Let's move now. Where is the lighthouse?"
Hearing Zayen's question, Nadia's expression seemed to be a little complicated. She hesitated for a moment before answering.
"The civilian area."
It wasn't difficult to head to the civilian area. The undead creatures couldn't climb the city walls, and the doors above had almost been closed by the patrolling soldiers.
Along the way, they only met a few unlucky patrolling soldiers who had turned into undead creatures. They even met a few soldiers who were still alive. According to them, the entire Tarkus City was quite quiet after that, and nothing unusual happened.
Besides, Tilly also cast a group invisibility spell to hide their tracks and used magic to build a simple bridge in mid-air, so that everyone could easily cross the bridge to the rooftop.
It felt like playing Assassin's Creed.
While running on the rooftop, Jenn looked at the surging undead creatures below.
They were the lowest level of undead creatures, and it was impossible for them to detect the people on the rooftop.
Not to mention, Tilly's group invisibility spell covered almost everything, and she could also point out the places with the least undead creatures. So, it didn't take long for them to reach the center of the civilian area where the lighthouse was located.
But it was a pity that their luck came to an end.
"There are a lot of undead creatures inside."
Tilly let out a sigh as she gazed at the tower towering in the middle of the civilian park.
She didn't know what the people who built the lighthouse were thinking, but they actually built it on the hillside near the park.
There was a vast flat land around them, and there weren't any tall buildings for them to climb, so naturally, there were no roofs.
As the distance was too far, Tilly's strength wasn't enough to create a magic bridge that led straight to the top of the tower.
Unsure if it was due to their hunting instincts, many undead creatures gathered here. Looking from afar, one could clearly see the dark shadows wandering around.
Under the illumination of the lanterns, the pale faces and bloodstained corpses of the dead were exceptionally eye-catching.
"Is there a way?"
Zayen could naturally lead the others through this area by opening the shadow passage, but that would expose his identity.
Of course, Jenn wouldn't do such an idiotic thing. Moreover, the undead creatures weren't a threat to him at all, so he didn't mind accompanying Nadia in this adventure game.
In fact, when death befell the people of Tarkus, Jenn's plan had already been completed. Now, this was just a side show for him.
Therefore, he asked and shot a glance at Tilly.
Tilly wasn't a fool, so she quickly replied, "It's not entirely impossible.
"It's not entirely impossible. I can cast some illusion magic and create some noise to lure them away. However, I'm afraid that Miss Nadia will have to go to the lighthouse alone.
After all, apart from you, none of us have the strength to restrain the poisonous mist. "
"This … Of course, no problem."
Upon hearing Tilly's words, Nadia pondered in silence for a few moments and nodded.
However, she still gazed at Tilly worriedly.
"But, Miss Tilly, won't you be in danger?"
"Don't worry, Miss Nadia. This small matter won't trouble us!"
At this moment, Ina waved her longbow and said cheekily.
"Don't forget that we're Rangers and we're the best at escaping. As long as the three of us lure the undead creatures away, we'll leave the rest to you."
"Alright."
Nadia would never have imagined that the three of them would actually gang up on her. So after hearing Ina's answer, she nodded without hesitation, drew out her sword, and bowed solemnly to the three of them.
"Alright then, I'll leave it to you. I promise that I will do my best to complete my mission as soon as possible!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Nadia."
Looking at Nadia's serious look, Zayen also restrained the expression on his face and said with a solemn expression.
But at this moment, a completely different thought emerged in his mind.
As expected, holy knights are a bunch of naive and gullible fellows.
