World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1447 - 334: Loyalty of the Undead Clan
Inside the stone coffin, Acatus’s body was covered by a layer of white frost.
His skin also transformed at this moment.
It was not the pale white of lifelessness, but a kind of inherent pallor.
Suddenly, the eyes of this Great Druid opened without warning, with icy blue light shimmering within them.
Zhang Xiaoman raised a hand, and the lid of the stone coffin, affected by the Dark Energy Shock, was pushed open.
"Welcome back, Acatus."
Acatus slowly sat up, a momentary confusion flashing in his eyes, which then quickly turned clear.
He already understood his current situation.
"Ji Xing... have we... won...?"
Unconsciously asking this question, Acatus shifted his gaze to the man in the purple robe before him.
"Yes, from now on, those Pseudo Gods no longer exist, and nothing in the sky can threaten this world’s peace."
"I see... it seems our efforts were not in vain..."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, then floated into mid-air, giving this Great Druid some space.
"Come now, embrace your new identity; from this moment on, you are the leader of the Death Knight Order, the Immortal Transmogrifier, Acatus!"
The icy blue light in his hand flashed, transmitting through the air to Acatus’s body, amplifying his power.
Acatus took two steps forward, stepping out of the stone coffin.
At this moment, he felt a rush of pure Energy flooding into his body, then an eruption of mana surged within him, compelling him to let out a roar towards the sky.
The mana transformed into black, heavy plate armor, forming around him, making his figure appear even taller and more majestic.
Finally, a similarly black, fierce helmet covered his face, leaving only two eyes emitting icy blue light visible, at which point the transformation stopped.
"I feel an unparalleled Strength! Is this the Divine Power used by the Divine?"
Acatus looked at his own hands.
Now, he had transformed from the previous Elemental Power to a higher level of Dark Spiritual Power, possessing the same power as these "Divine."
Zhang Xiaoman pointed, and a pitch-black Armed Ring slowly floated in front of Acatus.
This was collected from the members of the Joy Reaper Team.
Compared to the semi-finished products used by the Beastmen, it was much more formidable, a true Dark Spiritual Artifact.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoman only managed to acquire two such rings now, obtained from War God Karl and Demon God Suokong.
No choice, as the other few’s corpses were obliterated, and the Armed Rings were destroyed along with them.
Especially the seven who came later, who were utterly annihilated by the Eternal Ice Spear without a trace, leaving no rings behind.
Acatus focused on the ring before him for a moment, then slowly reached out and placed it on his finger.
As the ring’s power activated, the originally black and fierce armor on him was immediately covered by a layer of light, and a Giant Sword appeared in his hand.
"Hiss!"
Acatus suddenly plunged the Giant Sword into the ground, kneeling on one knee towards Zhang Xiaoman.
"Lord Jixing, this is the second time you’ve saved me... As a failure... I have nothing to repay..."
He spoke solemnly, glancing at Regina standing beside him as he spoke, then bowed his head and placed a hand on his chest:
"I am willing to offer my Strength to repay you! My lord, please accept my loyalty!"
Upon finishing, Zhang Xiaoman also sensed Acatus’s firm intent on a mental level, and was quite surprised.
He didn’t expect this guy to swear allegiance directly after being resurrected by him.
This level of dedication was unexpected for him.
After all, the other party was once a Great Druid, a leader who controlled half of the Elf Clan’s power, and yet now was genuinely siding with him, something indeed surprising.
But quickly, Zhang Xiaoman understood the reason behind the other’s decision.
Perhaps from his perspective, Acatus, who was once on equal footing with him as an Unshackler, had transitioned to a subordinate pledging allegiance, which seemed quite a leap.
However, if considered from Acatus’s point of view, it was not difficult to understand his choice.
After all, to some extent, the power Zhang Xiaoman displayed was indeed far beyond his own.
Moreover, now that Acatus had been resurrected by him, although technically his companion, the reality was that Zhang Xiaoman truly held control over his life.
Furthermore, now being an undead, Acatus knew he could no longer return to the Elf Clan.
So it made more sense to swear allegiance to Zhang Xiaoman, the summoner, which was indeed the wise move.
As a leader who once controlled half of the Elf Clan, Acatus was not foolish; on the contrary, he was astute.
Nonetheless, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t care about the other’s motives, as long as the final outcome was Acatus’s genuine allegiance, that was sufficient for him.
With the addition of such a Ninth-tier Undead, his Strength instantly became even greater.
"Hehe, quite interesting, this Yin Negative Structure’s Energy, after such a combination, actually allows for resurrecting the dead, while retaining most of their powers from life; that’s how those Bone Skeletons came to be..."
