Mo Fan, Blue Deacon, Crow, and a dozen other Blue Deacons were standing behind Unas on the mountain. Unas had alluring curves. Her body was brimming with mature charm, attractive yet deadly.
"Master Unas, what do you want us to do?" Crow asked.
"It's important to have a backup plan ready," Unas told the Blue Deacons behind her.
She cast a strange Dark Spell while she was speaking. A dark aura began to surround her. as if it was alive.
The dark aura soon turned into an ugly bat with a pair of fleshy wings. It was the size of a semi truck, but unlike most of the demon creatures, it was extremely skinny. Each of its joints had a bone poking out, with a sharp edge to them. Mo Fan was instantly disgusted by its rotting smell.
"Come up, we have something important to attend to," Unas said.
The Blue Deacons dared not disobey Unas' order. They jumped onto the eerie foul-smelling creature. Mo Fan learned the creature was a kind of Cursed Beast from the whispering among the Blue Deacons. It was an extremely powerful Commander-level creature. Unas normally used it as her mount.
Unas was a gorgeous woman, yet her mount was extremely ugly. The sight of them together was eerily incompatible.
It was obvious that beneath Unas's gorgeous appearance lay a rotten heart. It was impossible to tell how many lives and souls she had taken to create this ghastly creature.
The Jagged Bones Cursed Beast beat its wings and flew above the ocean of undead. There were not many undead with the ability to fly. Even those that were able to fly were dragged to the ground by the Realm of the Heavens.
"What creature is that? Why do I feel like it can see us?" Blue Bat looked down and saw an undead lifting its gaze and staring at them coldly.

The demon creature had the lower body of a scorpion, and was as huge as an office building. The rest of the undead were passing by under its body and between its many legs. Its upper body was covered in scales resembled the body of a beastly woman. It had great curves, but most importantly, its hair consisted of wriggling poisonous snakes. Several hundred snake-hairs over ten meters long were squirming wildly as they watched!
"It's the Scorpion Lord Medusa!" Blue Bat exclaimed.
Medusa was a creature from ancient Western legends. As a matter of fact, her species was already considered extinct. Their existence was as symbolic as the Totem Beasts of China.
To everyone's surprise, Medusa had already become an undead of the Great Pyramid of Giza. She stood out like an island among the ocean that was the undead army, like an imperious empress!
Mo Fan estimated the Scorpion Lord Medusa's strength. He believed even the Realm of the Heavens could not stop her once she reached the walls!
"They think the Wall is enough to stop the undead army. How amusing! The Great Pyramid of Giza still has many other creatures that are as powerful as the Scorpion Lord Medusa. The other undead might struggle against the Wall, but the Scorpion Lord Medusa can surely knock it down!" Unas proclaimed.
Mo Fan had been wondering if the Dark Pharaoh of Serpents could knock the wall down when it reached it.
It was obvious that there was a difference in strength between Ruler-level creatures, too. A strong Ruler-level creature could surely inflict serious damage on the Wall!
"However, we still need some time for the Rulers of the pyramid to gather. We don't have that much time to waste on the petty Wall. Consider it an utter glory that you've been assigned to me, as you will all witness the strongest undead that has been guarding Khufu for thousands of years!" Unas said.

"The strongest undead? What is it?" a Blue Deacon asked.
"You will know what it is very soon. There's currently a chain holding it down. Our job is to free it!" Unas declared.
Mo Fan's expression shifted slightly upon hearing the words.
It turned out that he had still underestimated the people of the Black Vatican. He did not expect Unas to have some other plan still, nor did he know what the strongest creature of the Underworld was. However, it was obviously something that could pose a great threat to the Wall!
Mo Fan glanced at the Great Wall in the distance that was stopping the huge army of undead from advancing in the distance. He could not help but worry.
"Old Zhao, it's all up to you now!" Mo Fan murmured.

Around three kilometers behind the Wall, a pair of golden wings left a misty path behind them, concealing the wearer and his passenger just above the range of mountains under the night sky...
"We're here. They are after the Magic Fire Beacon on Shenmu Mountain! It looks like Zhang Xiaohou is here, too!" Zhao Manyan looked down from the sky. He saw the fire pillar soaring into the sky and the messy battle between the members of the Black Vatican and the soldiers!
The Black Vatican had the advantage of numbers. After all, their members had been standing by for some time. They immediately made their move as soon as they received the order.
There were around two hundred people guarding the Magic Fire Beacon. Most of them were Battlemages, and the rest were from the Enforcement Union and the Preventive Committee. Their superiors had already given them the order to retreat. The main forces of the Hunter Union, the Magic Association, and the renowned clans had already retreated to Feihuang City with the main army. Only General Bin Wei, the Prophet, and their men had decided to stay behind.
General Bin Wei and Commander Ye Hong had special feelings for North Valley. Their men were extremely loyal, too. Around a thousand elite soldiers decided to stay behind and risk their lives, forming the troops protecting the Magic Fire Beacons. Otherwise, the few men that the Prophet had gathered clearly did not stand a chance against the members of the Black Vatican when they all came out of hiding!
Even if Mo Fan had not infiltrated the Black Vatican, he could at most defend one of the ancient keeps with his Demon Element. It still would not make any difference to the fate awaiting them!
"Is Violet Ghost down there?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"He's somewhere, but it's too messy. I'm having trouble finding him!" Lingling said.
"Violet Ghost is their leader. He is most likely the strongest among them," Zhao Manyan said.
"But the problem is, someone like him is more likely to let his men attack first. He would not show himself unless it's necessary," Lingling said.
"Then we can't afford to rush it. Let's keep observing!" Zhao Manyan said.
"Mmm, we have to rely on Zhang Xiaohou now, and see if he can force Violet Ghost out of hiding. The average Blue Deacons are no match for him!" Lingling agreed.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)

Dropped into a Xianxia World
I think all of us have thought about what we would do in case of sudden Zombie apocolypse at least once.Acquiring a chainsaw and a team to get your back is a no brainer, but what do you do in case of sudden reincarnation?Not only that but in an all too familiar setting too...----This story should be a rather interesting journey for most, not the usual level up simulator that many Xianxia stories tend to be.I tried to create a very real personality of the Main character with quite a few flaws so don't expect him to always be right.A quick warning but 99% of the story will be held directly inside the MC's head and he tends to break the 4th wall very frequently, so don't be surprised.MATURE WARNING!This story has cursing, delicate subjects that may or may not offend people like the idea of slavery for example, descriptions of gore and death as well as erotic scenes!You have been warned!
