Chapter 220: Chapter 220

"So this is the reason they locked the entrance to Border City B."

David thought this as he observed the surrounding area. It was as if someone or something had absorbed all the light force from that part of the danger zone.

All the trees had turned black and withered. Everything was ruined. More importantly, from the moment you entered that area, you were affected by some kind of poison.

When David controlled the Emperor to step into that area, he was also affected by the poison. Fortunately, it was not that powerful.

This was probably because the Emperor was a game character and not a real person.

David kept controlling the Emperor, moving deeper into the danger zone. Until now, he had not seen a single monster.

That was the strangest thing he had noticed. Even back when the ghouls appeared in the danger zone, he had never seen such a change.

David decided to speed up to see if he could find any trace of the warriors.

Deep inside the danger zone, Alexa and her teammates continued attacking the monsters.

Suddenly, a group of Intermediate Elite‑grade undead appeared. Alexa was fighting five of them alone, while the rest of her team faced the remaining fifty undead.

Those undead were huge, like a mixture between a human and an elephant. They even had tails shaped like snakes.

It was the first time they had seen such creatures, and none of them knew what these monsters had been called when they were alive.

But one thing was clear: these monsters were extremely dangerous and powerful. They had to kill them at any cost.

"Fall back from there immediately! Escort all the injured to a safe place!"

Many warriors were seriously injured and needed healing.

Unfortunately, the undead were not willing to give them that time.

One warrior instantly created a massive stone wall in front of the others and shouted for them to retreat. But the giant undead smashed through the rock wall easily.

Fortunately, the other warriors attacked those undead at the same time, finally giving the injured warriors enough time to withdraw.

As you could tell, the situation here was extremely intense—but this was not the only hotspot. Within an eight‑kilometer radius, other groups of warriors were also fighting similar undead.

The good thing was that, so far, no one had died. But how long they could survive depended entirely on their luck.

One thing was certain: if Saint Markus advanced in this direction, he would eventually meet the mastermind behind all of this.

If the culprit was a human who had become a necromancer, dealing with him would not be too difficult. But if it was a true creature made of dark energy, then even for Saint Markus, things would become very dangerous.

"Listen up, everyone! No matter what, we must defend the border cities. Our warriors are already fighting inside the danger zone.

We have sent more reinforcements, but until they arrive, we must hold the border cities."

The situation had become more critical, so the Warrior Association deployed additional reinforcements. Saint John and Saint Michael also entered the danger zone.

At this point, not only Border City B and Border City C, but even other border cities were being affected. Fortunately, not all of the undead were attacking the cities directly.

"If I’m not wrong, I’ll be able to see them if I follow this path."

Until now, David had not encountered any of the warriors, but he had finally found a clue to their location. This was the first time he had gone this deep into the danger zone without being attacked by any monsters.

David did not know there was another reason for this. He did not realize that the Emperor was completely invisible to the undead.

First of all, the necromancer was the one controlling the monsters and directing them to attack the warriors. To that necromancer, David was invisible. Because of this, the undead also failed to notice him.

David finally saw fifty warriors surrounded by a group of half‑skeletal hell tigers. Fortunately, he already knew these monsters were revived; they were not truly alive.

There were nearly one hundred monsters in total, making the warriors’ situation extremely dire. They had already killed thirty, leaving seventy remaining.

The warriors were in bad shape; many of them were seriously injured. Even the healers were forced to fight back.

David decided to make himself visible, but before that, he wanted to test something. He had noticed that even when he approached the monsters, none of them could see him.

Despite those monsters being Intermediate Special Grade, he used this advantage to attack them one by one. For now, this did not affect reality, but the moment he equipped the Phantom, it would.

Phantom was truly a game changer. For now, it was still a mystery who could have created something .

Those fifty warriors had no idea how much longer they could hold on. Some were already on the brink of death, no longer capable of fighting.

Some had lost limbs—hands, feet, and more. Yet despite their condition, they had no chance to retreat.

This pushed them into despair. Would they survive? That question weighed on everyone’s mind.

Then something unexpected happened. All the monsters were suddenly knocked backward, and wounds began to appear across their bodies.

This sudden turn of events confused the warriors, and the remaining monsters were just as bewildered.

While everyone wondered, they suddenly felt their injuries begin to heal. This startled them but finally someone noticed why something happened to them.

After that every Warrior has noticed there is another Warrior present among them and he definitely uses some kind of technique that creates a Golden circle around them.

At first they were not able to recognise that person but suddenly someone remembered he was that mysterious Warrior.

"Guys, our reinforcement is here. He is using the healing zone which will make you heal. Healers!!! Support our friend. We will be focusing on those monsters."

The captain of that group gave his command and in the next second he attacked those approaching Monsters. It seems many of them already know about the healing zone which some how make them relax.
