Any Magician who spent some time at the Ancient Capital would know that the skeletons were scarier than the zombies.
Their bones were hard as iron and their strength was enough to tear a living human to pieces. Most terrifyingly, they were a lot harder to kill than zombies. It appeared that shattering them was not effective either, as they would soon assemble their bodies again using any bone for the same joint they could find on the ground.
Such white skeletons were exactly the creatures that Wang Mang’s squad had encountered. They had even blasted the skulls off the skeletons off for more than one time, yet these undead simply picked up someone else’s head and screwed it onto their body and moved toward them again.



Damn it, we shouldn’t have stepped out of that zone. The army has already gone back to the walls, while we who came to escort them are trapped here!
cursed a Magician with a caved-in nose.

Hold on, it’s almost daytime, we’ll be able to head back soon,
said Wang Mang.

When the day comes, I’ll go home straight away, take a nice little ht shower, and sleep for two days straight!


Where’s Xiao Ding, where did he go… asshole, I told you all to look after him!
cursed Wang Mang instantly.
Wang Mang looked over the walls of skeletons and discovered a corpse whose limbs, head and body were separated. The corpse was being trampled continuously by the skeletons, even his head was kicked back and forth between their feet!
The head was Xiao Ding’s; Wang Mang’s face fell incredibly white after seeing it.
He already promised his wife that he would take good care of her brother, yet he had only dropped his guard down for a moment, and her brother had ended up like that. His wife would faint instantly when she saw him like this.

Li Cong is also… damn it, why is it still not daytime yet?! Shouldn’t these undead be going back to their tombs already? I’m going to dig their graves out!
snapped the man with the caved-in nose furiously.

The day…the day…
A Magician whose hair was dyed black and brown suddenly glanced into the east with a blank face, as if he had entirely lost his soul.

Clench your teeth and hold on for a little longer. The day has come, it’s already daytime! Don’t get crushed by the door when you’ve already made it to the gates of Hell!
yelled Wang Mang.


They could not give up like this, otherwise the entire squad would be wiped out. It would only take a matter of seconds for the skeletons to kill them all!

Asshole, what are you still waiting for? Quickly cast a Light Protection to help the others even if it means sucking your brain juice dry, do you want to die here?
yelled the man with the caved-in nose.
The Magician with black-brown hair pointed to the east…

Cap…captain…
said the man with black-brown hair in a trembling voice.

Shut up you two!


The day… it’s already bright,
the man pointed to the sky at the faint light, where they could also see the light drizzle.

What did you say!
both Wang Mang and the man with caved-in nose yelled in disbelief.
A rusted sword suddenly swept past, separating the black-brown-haired man’s head from his body. The head made a few spins in the air before falling to the muddy ground.
The mud on the ground dyed his hair again, yet his face did not show any reaction to the sudden death. It was still filled with disbelief.
He could not believe that the undead were still around when sunlight had already come.



It’s…it’s really daytime,
Wang Mang stood there like an empty shell.
The sinister white skeletons were still everywhere. Not only was there light, but the day was bright enough for him to see their surroundings clearly, yet the undead showed no sign of retreating.

Why? Why is this happening?
The man with the caved-in nose stared at the surrounding undead with a dispirited expression.
Everyone thought the fighting would come to an end when daytime came. Some even thought of how they would enjoy things after going back to the city, yet it turned out that even the sunlight they worshiped the most had abandoned them. It simply threw them into a deep abyss of no return, one that they would never climb out of.

AHHH!!!

Cries of agony came from different directions. Fresh blood stained the white bones of the skeletons, granting them an eerily evil look!
Wang Mang turned around and discovered the man who was grumbling about going home to take a hot shower had been cut in half. His body was chopped in half by a Skeleton General with an axe. Even though Wang Mang had gotten used to witnessing deaths, his scalp still turned numb when death was only inches away!
The sky was bright, it was really daytime…
Why aren’t the undead leaving yet? They had never heard of undead being active in the day for thousands of years! Why were the undead still able to move freely and kill his men under the sunlight?
A rusty sword slashed down, followed by many other bone swords, chopping apart Wang Mang and the remaining members of his squad.


Each of them was wearing a blank face, as they still did not understand what was happening even as death came!
The rain continued to fall, diluting the blood and forming streams of crimson flowing across the muddy land.
The undead stepped on the pools of blood. The land covered in fresh blood was like a soft, bright carpet welcoming them. It was simply so marvelous and fascinating, so they continued to cut the dead men open, to make the river of blood even more glittering!

The dawn had arrived, yet the clouds and the rain had made everything dull. Despite that, the night had still come to an end. Daytime had come; it was now dawn, the time when the fighting was supposed to come to an end…
The bell chime was already echoing in the city. Residents were filling the streets in their daily routines, assuming that the tall walls and the sunlight would protect them from the terrifying undead, yet little did they know, the undead had not left the walls. They were still out there, with eyes emitting vicious glints of light.
The long walls were dozens of kilometers in length. When the bell chimes sounded and the sunlight appeared, the guards who were tense for the entire night finally felt relieved after surviving the night…
However, when they turned around and looked at the land that was supposed to return to calm, they shockingly discovered that the nightmare was not over. The number of undead trying to run the walls down did not decrease, but increased instead!

Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on here?
Zhu Meng, whose wounds were still being treated, rushed down the stairs. He stared at the undead that were still around despite the presence of sunlight in great astonishment!
Advisor Zhu, Yao Nan, and the Commanders were in the tower, too. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and fear!


They could no longer understand the scene before them with common sense.
The undead!
The whole land was full of undead, surging toward the walls like a black tide! Danger was imminent!
Sunlight shone down upon the place as the rain continued to fall. No one had seen undead being active in the daytime for the past thousand years…

I told you, I don’t like rain,
Mo Fan observed the city and the land wet from the rain.
The scene was very familiar!
Just like Bo City where he grew up in, the scariest nightmare was really happening again!
