Undead God: I Can Extract Everything

By this point, Kyle, no matter how foolish, knew that he had been used by Dean McKenzie.

With such terrifying power at Dean McKenzie’s disposal, what did he have to fear from the Holy Light Assembly’s pursuit?

If Dean McKenzie doesn’t turn against the Holy Light Assembly, they would already be grateful.

After all, the power that Dean McKenzie displayed, even if it does not match the Holy Light Assembly, is enough to give them a severe headache.

Even that who caused the church’s heart to shatter into several pieces centuries ago would not have posed as much of a threat to the Holy Light Assembly as Dean McKenzie.

Kyle would never believe someone like Dean McKenzie, who proclaimed to rectify evil and turn to the light, even if a skeleton kicked him in the head.

So at this moment, Kyle was especially obedient.

He crouched trembling.

Pathetic, weak, and obedient.

His obedience seemed to have worked. After Doggy Two and the others finished their busywork, they handed the Golden Heart to the Strong Grass, leaving the rest of the skeletons to work on an altar at the end of the tunnel.

Seeing the skeletons in front of him leaving one by one and looking at Dean McKenzie who was still evolving, Kyle’s eyes couldn’t help but move in circles.

As if deliberating something, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck as the Strong Grass’ long sword rested upon his shoulder. Kyle immediately raised his hands, his eyes stopped moving, presenting the image of the perfect obedient pupil.

Almost at the same moment when Kyle raised his hands.

A loud “Boom!” echoed.

A hole was violently torn in the wind belt surrounding the Golden Castle.

A figure shrouded in divine light manifested nearby.

The moment Kyle saw the figure, his face lit up in joy, but then he quickly changed his expression as if remembering something, “Master, don’t…”

“Boom!”

Before Kyle could finish his sentence, a stream of divine light directly fell down towards him.

It targeted Kyle, and more specifically Strong Grass!

Kyle’s face changed instantly.

From a single glance, he knew his master had no intention of holding back with this attack.

It was not only targeted at Strong Grass but seemed to be intended to kill him directly!

Fortunately, Strong Grass reacted quickly and blocked the divine light with a swing of its sword.

“Master, you…”

“Don’t call me master, you traitorous disciple of the Holy Light Assembly, wanting to ally yourself with this wicked necromancer to seize that god-defiler’s heart in order to resurrect him!

You deserve to die!”

Kyle’s teacher, Yannis, who was in charge of this operation, righteously sentenced Kyle to death.

Hearing these words, an expression of disbelief crossed Kyle’s face, which then quickly gave way to calm resignation.

“It seems that you, master, never intended to give me credit for this operation, and asked me to take the lead only so I could take the blame if anything went wrong. Now that you see the Crystal Heart, you can comfortably execute me without hesitation!”

The Kyle at this moment was much shrewder than he usually was.

Instantly, he figured out the situation.

Turns out, in this entire matter, none of his two partners truly trusted him.

Both sides were just using him.

Well, Dean McKenzie’s side could be forgiven to some extent since they were previously strangers and it was Kyle who approached them.

But Yannis’ betrayal really struck Kyle hard.

After all, Yannis was his dearly loved family and friend. Kyle’s teacher nurtured him all the way to his current position as candidate for Saint.

Deep down, Kyle truly respected him.

But, who could have predicted that in a blink of an eye, he would be betrayed by his dear friend and family member.

In that moment, Kyle felt as if the world had abandoned him, sinking into despair.

Facing the despondent Kyle, Yannis, as the Archbishop of the Holy Light Assembly, maintained a serene and stern countenance, “Nonsense, you collaborate with evil but are not brave to admit it.

But it doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not, I have firm evidence here, none of you will escape today!”

While speaking, Yannis didn’t stay idle.

With a wave of his hand, a Holy Light Staff appeared in his hand. He swung it and raining down consecrated meteors towards Dean McKenzie, Strong Grass and Kyle.

Obviously, he planned to wipe out everyone in a single swoop.

Facing the relentless Yannis who was adamant on seeing him dead, a look of mockery overrode Kyle’s feelings of helplessness.

His teacher had planned everything meticulously, but he overlooked one thing; he underestimated the strength of Dean McKenzie.

As such, his sudden attempt to play the victor now was as laughable as a clown in front of Kyle.

In fact, at this moment, he was truly just a clown.

After the sky-covering attack of holy light came down.

The adversary remained unscathed.

Meanwhile, Yannis felt strangely under surveillance, as if someone was watching him.

Surprised, he looked closer at his surroundings only to go pale.

Around him was a swarm of skeletons that had silently surrounded him.

The skeleton group was at least a hundred in number, each of them no less than perfect quality— all of them being at least seventh-order perfect quality skeletons and above.

Among them, several gave him an exceptionally strong sense of danger.

“Not good!”

The color drained from Yannis’s face at once.

He had just seen the collapse of the monster army outside and the annihilation of the Angel of Holy Light. Thinking that the Angel of Holy Light and the final BOSS had perished together, he had rushed over to do the last harvesting.

However, after arriving, the situation was somewhat unexpected.

A seventh-order legendary quality being had appeared on the field, and that necromancer was unmistakably in the process of advancing.

But Yannis didn’t pay much mind to it.

The situation was unexpected, but it was all within his control, so he took action without hesitation.

As a result, just as he attacked, Yannis realized that something was wrong.

What the hell are all these seventh-order skeletons?

This looks bad!

Run!

Yannis tried to escape, but it was already too late by then.

“Thud!”

He barely moved when an arrow pierced through his heart.

Indeed, when Old Nine’s ‘Death Arrow’, ‘Lucky Crossbow’, ‘God’s Arrow’, and ‘Absolute Hit’ were combined, it was a force that could kill a god.

As long as there were no special abilities, as long as Dean McKenzie did not restrict fatal shots, a single hit from Old Nine could take down any equivalent-level being.

This also applies to Yannis, the seventh-order legendary quality, 160-level peak Archbishop of Holy Light.

He could not survive Old Nine’s attack.

As Yannis was killed, a system prompt appeared in front of Dean McKenzie’s eyes again.

[You have successfully slain [Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light], your task [Fallen Holy Light] officially begins, you will get SSS-level rewards in the settlement!]

[Note: After killing [Archbishop of the Church of Holy Light, Yannis], your relationship with the Holy Light Church is beyond reconciliation!]

[You can choose to settle the instance task within thirty minutes!]

[After thirty minutes, the Church of Holy Light will initiate a holy war against you!]

…

This time the system prompt was semi-compulsory, and Dean McKenzie, who was in the middle of his template upgrade, saw the prompt.

At this moment, Dean McKenzie could choose to stop the upgrade.

But Dean McKenzie didn’t make that choice; after all, once the template upgrade was interrupted, it could not be resumed.

Moreover, Dean McKenzie didn’t think it was necessary.

Just a holy war from the Church of Holy Light, right?

Let’s fight!

As far as this instance was concerned, the strongest the Church of Holy Light could be was eighth-order, Dean McKenzie thought he had a fair chance if he took them head-on.

“Let them come!”

Dean McKenzie said, giving instructions to Doggy Two to prepare for battle, and then continued to delve into his template upgrade.

On the other side, at the Golden Castle,

With Dean McKenzie’s command, Doggy Two and the others took their positions, ready for the impending holy war.

Soon, thirty minutes passed.

When the time came.

A massive cross of holy light descended from the sky, violently crashing at the location of the Golden Castle.

As the cross of holy light landed, Dean McKenzie and his party were instantly submerged…
