The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 723

Chapter 723: Chapter 586, You’re the Deputy Chapter 723: Chapter 586, You’re the Deputy The ghost turned and ran.

In the blink of an eye, it passed through the roof and disappeared from view.

This was truly beyond Wu Heng’s expectation.

With a thought, his own two ghosts separated from him, floating on either side.

“What happened?” Glenda glanced at the body and the ritual materials.

“I just transformed a ghost, but it seems something’s not quite right. Keep it under control, don’t hurt it,” Wu Heng said quickly.

The two ghosts looked at each other and also passed through the roof, chasing after the sky.

They chased after the fleeing ghost.

Now both Glenda and Xiao Xiao were level 18 ghosts, and they were obviously faster than the fleeing ghost.

Gradually closing the distance, they got closer and closer.

Wu Heng stepped out of the storeroom and waited for a while before Xiao Xiao flew back.

Pointing in one direction, he said, “Uncle, Auntie caught that ghost.”

Among Glenda’s abilities was a skill to bind the soul.

The first time they met, she bound Xiao Xiao, and later at the train station in Zombie World, she used this ability to bind an irrational ghost.

So, catching lower-level ghosts was something Glenda was very good at.

Wu Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

If the ghost had escaped, the level increase he and the ghost achieved would have been for nothing.

“What level is the ghost?” Wu Heng asked.

“Below level 5, very low. It didn’t get far before Auntie Glenda controlled it.”

“Let’s go, let’s check it out.”

“This way!”

Xiao Xiao led the way, heading straight out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The ghost hadn’t escaped far before Glenda controlled it.

Walking into the dim alley, they saw Glenda, as well as the ghost bound on the side, struggling and screaming continuously.

“Its condition isn’t quite right,” Glenda said softly.

Wu Heng approached and looked at the ghost trapped by an invisible force.

The ghost’s form was flickering and unstable, its ethereal face appearing and disappearing as if struggling between being a ghost and a spirit.

Seeing Wu Heng approach, the ghost suddenly lunged forward, crashing into the barrier with a screech, then it quickly retreated, curling up in the furthest position.

It showed a look of wariness and fear.

Wu Heng watched, his eyebrows also knitted together.

Did the skill fail?

The description of the skill mentioned awakening the soul inside a corpse, which should not result in an irrational soul.

Bella’s transformation into a ghost was her only chance to “live” on after death.

If it wasn’t successful, then he had no solution left.

Ah–!

The soul lunged forward again, shrieking sharply, like a fierce ghost.

Then quickly retreated, cautious and wary.

“What’s its name? Try calling it by its name,” Glenda said from beside him.

“Bella!” Wu Heng tried calling out.

The struggling ghost paused briefly.

It turned and looked back over here.

Apparently effective!

Wu Heng continued, “Luo Bei Lini, I am Wu Heng. We’ve met in the tavern; back then, you provided me with information, and we together saved the children in the town.”

The blurry soul started to form features.

And it became increasingly distinct.

“I’ve come to get you, to leave Black Stone Town.”

Gradually, the ghost’s ethereal body formed a human outline, and its features turned into Bella’s original appearance.

Clutching at the boundary of its confinement, it stared blankly at him.

“Bella, don’t you recognize me?”

“Wu Heng? Weren’t you an Island Master? How come…” then it suddenly realized something, looked down at its own body, “I… I, I seem to have died, those people killed me, I’m so scared…”

The form of the soul distorted again, swaying uncertainly.

Wu Heng soothed, “Bella, it’s okay, it’s all over now. I’ve come to take you away from here. Would you like to come with me?”

Bella furrowed her brows, “Me, like this?”

“Yes, I’ll take you to Gold and Silver Island. It’s surrounded by seas. Have you seen the ocean? There are the Elf Race, Dwarf Race, the outside world is much bigger than Black Stone Town.”

Bella was a bit coy, “But I don’t know how to do anything, won’t I be a burden to you?”

“I came from Black Stone Town to fetch you, and I would be very sad if you didn’t agree,”
“Well… Okay then, I am willing to go with you,” Bella said shyly, nodding her head.

As the two spoke, Bella’s state began to stabilize.

No longer fluctuating, her facial features and physique had also restored to how she looked when she was alive, though she was still in the form of a soul.

Wu Heng glanced to the side, “Glenda, release the restriction.”

The confinement vanished, and Bella did not attempt to flee.

Wu Heng approached her and said, “I will make a contract with you, and I’ll explain the rest after we get back, bit by bit.”

“Okay,” Bella nodded.

Wu Heng released Necromantic Power, gently enveloping the soul.

Without any resistance, a mark was imprinted deep within the ghost.

The contract was complete.

“Welcome to our group, Bella.”

“Am I a member of the association now?” Bella asked.

“You could say you are the assistant to the Flag-bearer of the association, indirectly making you a member,”
Bella slowly floated over, “That works too, it’s just like before.”

Wu Heng glanced aside at two other curious ghosts who were whispering softly, introducing one of them, “This is ‘Luo Bei Lini’, a friend of mine from Black Stone Town.”

He then turned to Bella, “These two are Glenda and Xiao Xiao, my companions as well.”

Bella gave a slight curtsey, “Ms. Glenda, Miss Xiao Xiao.”

Glenda reciprocated the gesture, and Xiao Xiao also returned a gesture, not quite fitting the scenario, then mimicked Glenda with a lady’s curtsey.

“Let’s go back. We can talk about the specifics later,” Wu Heng said.

Glenda and Xiao Xiao were the first to re-enter their bodies.

Bella also tried, entering his body.

Wu Heng walked back.

…

City Lord’s Mansion.

The hall was filled with various people: several gang members demanding money, the town’s guard team, and others dressed like gang members.

Struggling to explain something.

Wen Mansha sat in the chief seat, a cold and aloof expression on her face–the image of an indifferent City Lord.

Wu Heng walked by, gestured upstairs, indicating he was going up first.

Wen Mansha nodded, showing she understood.

After going upstairs, he entered his study.

He released the three ghosts again.

Glenda floated to one side, Xiao Xiao looked around curiously, and Bella showed no signs of instability.

“Bella, do you remember what happened before?” Wu Heng cautiously asked.

Bella’s expression revealed fear and unease.

But she still spoke, “I remember, I wanted to send a message to the association, but somehow people found out, and they killed me on the grounds of betraying the church.”

Wu Heng was reassured, seeing that mentioning the incident did not cause any problems with Bella.

He then asked, “Did you find out any information?”

Bella recalled and said, “The church I joined is called Heaven Destiny Cult, the leader named ‘Fateh’, who gathered quite a number of people through preaching, and moved towards the west of the Kingdom.”

Hearing Bella mention the Heaven Destiny Cult, both Wu Heng and Glenda showed surprised expressions.

This sect was not unknown to them.

The releasing of Exiles from stone coffins in the Emerald Sea and the subsequent revenge by an 18th level Necromancer from the island.

It was all the doings of people from Heaven Destiny Cult.

The association had even listed the sect on a warrant issued, yet there had been no news.

It was unexpected to encounter them here.

Emerald Sea and Black Stone Town were not close.

Especially since the transportation was not very developed in this world, it was quite a distance to travel.

“What is the Bishop’s profession?” Wu Heng asked.

“I’m not sure. The person appeared very mysterious, but I suspect they could be a melee profession because I once saw them carrying a longsword,” Mini replied.

A melee profession!

If both were level 18, Ae Necromancer a Great Knight, and a melee as Bishop?

The possibility existed.

But usually, those of higher intellect were better at mesmerizing.

“Any experts around him?” Wu Heng continued to inquire.

“While I was there, people kept coming, among them a great knight and two sect guardians, all seemingly of high level,” Bella recollected and replied.
