Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2557  The Battle

Fang Heng reappeared from the corner where the death knight was observing, calculating quickly how to defeat his opponent.

"Death knight, since the mausoleum was built for selection, I assume the Empress only needs one body in the end, right?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"I propose a one-on-one fight. Just the two of us; my companions won't join. I want to defeat you head-on."

A glimmer of surprise flashed in the death knight's eyes as he glanced at Li Shaoqiang and the others in the corner. He nodded and said, "Very well. I admire your courage. I accept your challenge, and I will give it my all."

"Thank you."

But hopefully, "giving it your all" won't mean much.

Fang Heng thought to himself as he swiftly retreated, his toes barely touching the ground. The death knight raised his heavy sword and stepped forward, launching another pursuit, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Fortunately, the entire Great Hall was spacious enough to provide ample room for the two to fight.

This was Fang Heng's first confrontation with a demigod-level creature.

Interesting!

Then let's face it head-on!

Fang Heng attempted to retreat for a moment, but as he realized the distance between him and the death knight was rapidly closing, his expression changed. He focused intently on the approaching figure and raised his hands, condensing an imprint before him.

Come on!

Eternal Tree Realm!

In an instant, a magic array phantom quickly materialized beneath Fang Heng's feet.

Suddenly, lush green life blossomed around him, centered on Fang Heng, as an abundance of vines and roots spread outwards.

Within mere seconds, the entire Great Hall was enveloped by the verdant Eternal Tree Realm.

"What! It's actually a domain?!"

"When did he master domain abilities?"

"Dickey, your student..."

At that moment, the higher-ups of the undead council, observing the battle through a remote mirror, were taken aback.

This kid!

He had mastered such a high-tier domain ability!

Just moments ago, Fang Heng had managed to endure the death knight's attacks for so long, which had already surprised the undead faction's leaders.

Now, he had unleashed a domain ability as well?

Everyone's gaze turned to Dickey, the instructor, and his expression became noticeably different.

Dickey himself was perplexed. He hadn't expected that while Fang Heng was out training, he would end up mastering a domain ability. At first, he was just as bewildered as the other instructors from the undead council.

"Instructor Dickey, your teaching skills are indeed remarkable. You'll need to take even more care with my grandson in the future..."

"You're too kind..."

However, upon hearing the compliments and congratulations from the crowd, Dickey's confusion faded, revealing a knowing smile as he returned the gesture with a slight bow.

Shi Lipeng's eyes sparkled with indescribable astonishment.

A domain ability!

Fang Heng had already encountered domain skills?

Judging by the situation in the mirror, the domain's range was extensive—it clearly wasn't an ordinary ability.

No wonder Fang Heng was unwilling to back down.

Shi Lipeng's heart raced.

Could it be that...

He had confidence that he could fight the death knight with the power of the domain?

Shi Lipeng felt a sudden bitterness rise within him.

He had thought Fang Heng was just an exceptionally lucky player, but now he realized the gap between them had grown so vast!

It was like a massive chasm—one that seemed impossible to cross.

"Pay attention!" The instructor noticed Shi Lipeng's distraction and pointed toward a corner of the mirror. "He's about to launch his attack."

...

The death knight stared at the rapidly forming tree realm around him, surprise flickering in his eyes once again.

Despite the dense vines and roots obscuring his view, he could still lock onto Fang Heng's approximate position, his gaze unwavering.

"You... have mastered the power of a domain?"

"Hahaha!" Fang Heng's voice resonated through the layers of foliage. "Pretty good, right?"

"Excellent! Fang Heng!" The death knight's usually impassive face showed a hint of approval. "I look forward to seeing you defeat me!"

Whoosh!!!

As he spoke, the death knight's expression shifted slightly. He raised his dark heavy sword with a fierce determination.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, Fang Heng materialized in front of him, wielding the great holy sword as it collided forcefully with the heavy sword!

Drawing upon the power of the domain—Year Ring—Fang Heng put everything he had into that strike.

The impact surged forward!

The death knight's pupils contracted.

What?

The power of the holy element?!

The death knight felt an immense force crashing toward him, causing him to stagger and retreat a few steps to regain his footing.

"Buzz!!!"

In the next moment, holy ripples emanated from the great sword!

Massive swathes of black fog surrounding the death knight were dispelled by the holy energy.

What a pity!

Fang Heng couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. After his initial strike, he had planned to follow up aggressively, but the moment their weapons collided, he was struck again by the death knight's icy curse. A layer of ice crystals enveloped his hands, preventing him from pursuing and forcing him to retreat.

After 0.2 seconds, the undead effect activated, shattering the ice crystals passively.

However, he had lost the best opportunity to attack.

Once pushed back, the death knight no longer underestimated Fang Heng.

But before he could steady himself, a mass of vines suddenly surged from the side, entangling him! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Abe Akaya's vines launched an assault on the death knight!

Dense vines quickly wrapped around the death knight's legs, attempting to bind him.

"Hmph!"

The death knight snorted coldly, thick frost immediately coating the vines that were rapidly creeping up his feet.

The vines quickly froze, losing their vitality and ceasing to grow.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Abe Akaya didn't give up. Large wooden spikes began to form densely around the death knight, piercing toward him with relentless ferocity!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The hard wooden spikes slammed against the death knight's armor, producing a sound like iron striking iron.

Still, it was ineffective!

Hidden among the thick foliage nearby, Fang Heng observed the death knight closely, analyzing the battle in his mind.

From what he had seen, the death knight was a melee-type opponent, wielding a heavy sword with dispelling effects and possessing extraordinarily high base attributes. On top of that, there was the freezing effect granted by Empress Persephone...

Indeed a tough foe!

He had also just tested something.

The lifeblood fluctuations triggered by vampires did not affect the death knight whatsoever. He couldn't perceive the death knight's presence through lifeblood.

Perhaps beneath that massive gray armor, the death knight had become nothing more than a corpse.

If he were to identify a weakness...

It seemed he lacked ranged attack capabilities.
