Both the vampires and gargoyles possess strength comparable to my own.

Chapter 86.

Comprehensive strength enhancement as dawn broke by you awoke.

clutching her blanket in a rather ungraceful manner.

Although the protective barrier had dissipated, the presence of concealed chandeliers and the vigilant guardianship of the undead army assuaged her fears.

She was not overly anxious, nor did she lose sleep over imagined dangers.

Perhaps the serene atmosphere of her chamber played a soothing role.

As the saying goes, the most perilous locations often harbor the greatest safety.

The treacherous snowcapped mountains and the ominous dark forest were indeed fraught with danger.

Yet they paradoxically rendered by you.

Positioned between the two remarkably secure.

This phenomenon is aptly termed darkness beneath the lamp.

A powerful figure would hardly concern themselves with matters beyond their domain.

Whether the dominion of Caram could contend with Bayu's undead forces remain to be seen.

Today, Bayou at last had the opportunity to dawn a dress.

meticulously selecting her attire, let the day of elegance commence with her ensemble.

Soon she would venture forth to inventory supplies, and upon glancing down at her outfit, she realized she could scarcely see her feet with a swift incantation of dark magic.

Bayou teleported a top the castle walls.

The efficacy of this teleportation was undeniable.

If only she could combine it with the ability to fly, her capabilities would be further augmented.

She effortlessly gathered the stones and timber within the castle, accumulating three 0000 units of wood and two 0000 units of stone.

During the day, Bayou was afforded a clearer view of the battlefield beneath the ramparts.

Jon had already led the skeletal army back with the fallen bodies accumulating on one side.

The ground was strewn with the severed limbs and remains of various beasts, their corpses collected by the undead.

Yet the dismembered appendages and spilled entrils remained scattered across the battlefield.

The terrain was a vivid tableau of crimson interspersed with green, likely the lifeblood of these monstrous creatures.

However, this aim was notably more subdued compared to those of other lords.

For within by you's undead army, only skeletons, zombies, and gargoyles engaged in the direct dismemberment of foes.

The wraiths, specters, and death knights primarily relied on curses and soul attacks to vanquish their adversaries, leaving the deceased bodies intact and thus less gruesome.

Even the less formidable bone dragons merely incinerated the beasts, rendering them into charred remnants.

After a night of relentless summoning by the necromancers, a total of 3,000 beast corpses had been revived, representing a myriad of levels.

The unsightly heap of corpses at the base of the walls prompted by you to opt for disintegration, yielding one 200 magic crystals, 5 0000 units of food, 1 0000 units of elite food, and 500 spirit cores.

Upon witnessing these resources, Bayou erupted in exclamations of frustration.

Alas, the beast tide had arrived at the stroke of midnight.

Yet, there was no double drop.

It seemed the novice protection period had elapsed.

After seven nights, the game had reverted to its normal state, and defeating wild monsters no longer yielded double rewards.

Yet, Bayou distinctly remembered receiving double experience for slaying the ice bear the previous night.

Checking her system panel, she discovered a notification.

Congratulations, Lord, for successfully overcoming the beast tide and officially commencing the journey of the myriad races.

From the eighth day onward, the double drop rate for nighttime monsters will revert to the standard drop rate.

Although the nighttime double attribute bonus and double experience drops will still apply, effective only for monsters below the king level.

It is rather disappointing.

Bayou had anticipated a windfall from the numerous monsters, envisioning an abundance of magic crystals and spirit cores.

Instead, the rewards were halfed.

Fortunately, the double experience remains.

As for the king level, Bayou is unconcerned since it is beyond her reach.

Upon reflection, it is reasonable to assume that the surviving lords, if not wiping out every monster during the beast tide, would at least endure until the conclusion of the event.

Every lord at this juncture possesses some magic crystals and spirit cores, which are bound to depreciate significantly.

Once the beast tide concludes, all lords will experience a rapid escalation in power with 7,000 corpses remaining, the necromancers should be able to complete the summoning within a day and a night.

Quite swift indeed.

Oh, Jon has truly ascended to the commander level.

Impressive.

Skeleton king John.

Active skills: skeleton fall, soul absorption, passive skills, enlightenment, king's glory, king's glory.

The skeletons fighting alongside the skeleton king receive a boost of five to all attributes and an accelerated reassembly speed.

Though the description is simple, it is a powerful supportive enhancement skill.

The skeleton's maximum level is only commander and an increase of five points to all attributes is already formidable.

Moreover, as long as Jon is present, this skill remains perpetually active.

Jon increasingly resembles a general by you observe the other undead.

Most of the skeletons capable of leveling up had indeed progressed, while the bone dragons had reached level seven.

The remaining undead were mostly unable to upgrade.

She found it unfortunate that the seemingly weakest skeleton soldiers since Jon's summoning had evolved into the most formidable force within by Yu's undead army.

The zombie titan had also leveled up to level eight overnight.

A single slaying of a highle monster combined with double experience would see its level rise swiftly.

The early stages of leveling up are rapid, but progression will slow significantly later.

There won't be a second beast tide.

Bayou noticed a wraith returning.

Heading towards the castle, it had flown back from the snowy mountains, and it was evident that the wraith was delivering a message.

Bayou used magic to return to the castle, took a few steps, and approached the wraith.

Esteemed queen, the gargoyles have located the castle of the vampires.

Chapter 87.

the frost cave.

Certainly, I vampires were unable to locate Bayou's castle.

After all, the concealed chandeliers were not mere decorations.

Without royal level prowess, one could not penetrate the veil of invisibility.

Conversely, the encounters between the vampires and gargoyles upon the frigid snowcapped mountains resulted in considerable losses for Yangs Kindred.

However, the vampires were not entirely powerless against the undead.

The blood magic wielded by the commanding vampires could directly strike at the soul.

This meant that only Uluang<unk>s commanding vampires possessed the capability to vanquish the undead.

Ironically, there was also a commanding entity among the gargoyles at top the snowcapped peaks.

When Yilyangs commanding vampire faced an equally ranked gargoyle capable of absorbing magic, it found itself utterly outmatched.

Suddenly, a crimson figure materialized within Yiangs castle.

My lord, the gargoyless have discovered our stronghold.

Hadn't he instructed them to lure the gargoyless away? How had they still been detected? The revelation of their castle was inconsequential.

What truly mattered was that his forces had failed to gather even the slightest intelligence about the enemy's stronghold.

These gargoyless and the lordly girl from that night seemed to have materialized from thin air.

Nevertheless, the vampires returned with a piece of good news.

They had located the layer of the flaming demon wolf from the beast tide of the previous night.

Elilang resolved to eradicate them swiftly to bolster his strength.

For Bayu's oppressive presence was decidedly formidable, especially now that his castle had been discovered.

However, the location of the cave was not as close to his castle as Elong had surmised.

It lay a considerable distance, suggesting it was another cavern altogether.

Without delay, Yilong led his vampires forth.

Yet, both Bayou and Ylang had failed to realize that within the icy mountains lurked another lord, the ice lord Lia Bayou<unk>s castle was situated on the eastern side of the mountains.

Whereas Eliang's stronghold lay to the west beyond the frigid peaks, placing them at a significant distance apart in the central region of the snowcap mountains, there existed a valley form between two mountains.

And it was here that Long Ja as castle resided, shrouded in a blanket of snow, rendering it exceedingly difficult to detect.

Other lords typically constructed their castles on the mountain sides or at top the peaks, but Long Jia's castle occupied a uniquely peculiar position.

Lia commanded an army of snow maidens.

Ethereal beings coalesed from ice and snow resembling aven figures with a woman's head and body.
