Chapter 36: So You’re Still Alive

“You killed a thriller zombie.”

“You have received 1,500 experience points.”

“You killed a comical demon.”

“You have received 1,800 experience points.”

“You killed…”

….

After an unknown period of time, as the battle continued, York’s consciousness gradually became numb.

Only his body’s instincts kept him going.

For the first time, he was glad that he was an undead creature. He did not need sleep or food.

As long as he wanted to, as long as he was alive, he could continue fighting.

Indeed, with its high attributes and the bloodthirsty effect of Frostmourne, as long as York’s body and mind could support it, he was a killing machine forever.

As he slaughtered, York harvested souls.

This was his mission, and he had not forgotten it.

Even if the brain forgot, the body would remember.

“You have harvested the soul of a terrifying zombie.”

“Received 17 points of Soul Strength.”

“You have reaped the soul of the comical demon.”

“Received 20 points of Soul Strength.”

Current Mission Progress: 489,721 / 1,000,000

Mission Remaining Time: 19 hours and 38 minutes.

….

The battle continued for a day and night. At some point, the dozens of minions who were left by York had died.

York did not have time to replenish his forces. [Undead Enslavement] required a longer time. The stronger the undead creature, the more time it would take.

In a battlefield where he could die at any moment, it was still possible to harvest souls in a few seconds, but it was impossible to spend a few minutes dominating the undead.

However, York no longer needed the help of the minions. Their main mission was to help him lure the monsters.

As for killing the monsters, they might be of some help, but it was mainly up to York.

In this situation where they had too many monsters to kill, there was naturally no need to lure any.

“You killed a scavenger.”

“You have received 1,500 experience points.”

“You killed a stitched zombie monster.”

“You have received 2,000 experience points.”

“You have reaped the soul of the scavenger.”

“Received 18 points of Soul Strength.”

Current Mission Progress: 879,831 / 1,000,000

Mission Remaining Time: 6 hours and 21 minutes.

…

“Die!”

With Frostmourne in hand, York slashed down, slicing a rotting zombie into two.

Without any time to rest, a Two-Headed Hound seized the opportunity to open its fanged mouths and spew black flames at York.

Although York’s mind was numb, his senses were focused.

Sensing the attack behind him, York immediately turned around and slashed at the flames with his huge sword.

Frostmourne was indeed extremely sharp. The black flames were divided into two, and York rushed to the front of the Two-Headed Hound without any obstruction.

One of its heads was chopped off.

Rotten blood splattered all over York, but he did not care. Cold undead sword aura gathered on the huge sword.

With a dash, York slashed the Two-Headed Hound into two.

He instinctively placed his palm on the hound’s corpse, and a system notification followed.

“You have reaped the soul of the Two-Headed Hound.”

“You have received 30 points of Soul Strength.”

“After the system inspection, you have harvested 1,000,000 points of Soul Strength.”

“The Night Reaper’s Class Advancement mission has been completed!”

The sudden appearance of the golden panel shocked York.

In the endless battle, he almost forgot about the mission and focused only on fighting.

Harvesting souls was only an instinct.

The mission was completed?

York looked around at the corpses and said calmly, “I’ve killed so many monsters.”

However, although the Class Advancement mission had ended, the hidden mission continued.

Looking around, York was still surrounded by undead creatures.

Their red eyes wanted to tear York into pieces.

Regaining his composure, York raised his sword again and charged into the zombie crowd.

The battle continued. Now was not the time to be happy.

No matter how powerful the class [Night Reaper] was, York had to survive first.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the class was, York would not be able to advance into it.

Moreover, even without the need to harvest souls, the attacking undead could provide York with considerable experience points and attributes.

Even without the mission requirement, York did not plan to let them go.

…

The endless battle continued for another two days. York felt like his skull was about to split open.

Although undead creatures did not need sleep, it did not mean that their minds could be exhausted endlessly.

But the undead around him would not reason with York.

A ferocious zombie charged at him.

With a weary body, York chopped off its head.

At this moment, another Skeleton Swordsman not far away slashed at York with a bone blade.

Seeing that the sharp bone blade was about to touch York, a skeleton in broken armor rushed out.

With the spear in hand, the Skeleton Swordsman’s skull was shattered with one strike.

York looked back at the figure behind him and could not help but smile.

“So you’re still alive!”
