lot of card masters. The energy fluctuations will definitely worsen and eventually lead to disaster. How do we handle this"Lu Cheng still thought the old man was going to ask about money.My heart ski.........

On the bone pile of Sindagross, a group of mages are busily using various cards. Google search.com

Some wore black robes, while others wore white robes.

The Black Robes are restoring skeletons and bone beasts, while the White Robes are using various spirit-infused magic cards.

Black and white are intertwined, the scene is extraordinarily peculiar.

Lei Chao stood silently, watching as his compatriots had just infected a legionary nun with corrupted energy.

This is the only fish that got away.

In the midst of the bones, the nun slowly sat up and opened her eyes, seeming a little lost.

The man in black, seeing the infection complete, slowly turned around.

There is a strange, unseen energy in the Ghost Fleet. It was just discovered in a card on the ice floe.

"The master spent tens of thousands of years analyzing all the energy on the continent and created sacred energy. How could such energy exist" Lei Chaosheng exclaimed."

"I don't know, we are too low level," the man in black said. "Let's retreat for now, the Bishop will be completely assimilated soon, he will be our superior, let him handle it then."

Lei Chao-sheng nodded and made a gesture to the casters behind him.

........

The Imperial Fleet, flagship command center.

The lighthouse keeper pushes open the door.

He was pulled out of the sea by his fellow countrymen. When the ship was hit, he lost consciousness instantly. He didn't wake up until two days later.

"My Lady Saint, their actions are no different from ordinary people...we..."

Xiuyi slowly closed a book, placing it on the table. It was "Research on Worsening Energy".

Please knock before entering next time.

"Well, Your Holiness, perhaps we misunderstood the corrupted energy. It could have been maliciously warped. Maybe it's an incredibly powerful force. If we could harness it, our Celestial Empire..."

"The powerful energy you speak of, killing three million people every year in the Heavenly Saint Empire," Xiu looked at Haideng calmly.

"Uncontrolled energy is indeed dangerous, but... you see, the corrupted card masters on the ice dragon seem to be doing just fine..."

"Really" Xiu smiled playfully, then stood up.

He suddenly pulled out a card.

"Shining Lance!"

The Hai Deng was shocked and dismayed. He hadn't expected the Holy Maiden to suddenly attack, and for a moment he didn't react. But suddenly, a magic shield flew out, blocking his face.

The spear collided with the magic shield, vanishing in a puff of smoke.

"Saintess, what are you doing!" Haiteng retreated two steps and exclaimed.

"Just take a good look at yourself." Xiu said sharply.

Hai Deng looked at the magic shield in front of him. It was actually emitting wisps of black energy, clearly signs of worsening energy.

He suddenly realized he didn't have a card, so how did he use it

"This, what's going on" Haiting was utterly shocked.

"I'm sorry, your deck of cards doesn't belong to you anymore. Your own thoughts, soon.......won't belong to you either." Xiu shook her head regretfully.

"I... I've been infected..."

"Yes, during the two days you were unconscious, someone tampered with you." Xiu sighed.

She was utterly helpless.

Over the past two days, corrupting energy has spread throughout [Land of the Rising Sun] like a plague. People won't feel anything at first, but soon their minds will be assimilated.

They have a complete sense of agency, but... they just aren't on the same side as humans.

The bishop is an Overlord, he was tainted by the corrupt energy, the Domain Card had long been planted with seeds of corruption, so this scene isn't strange.

The night outside has grown deeper.

Sui looked bewildered.

To defeat the magic storm, even humanity is no longer spared. Is this price truly worth paying

The sea lamp frantically checked its body.

Associating with corrupting energy does not mean that the Kingdom's mages accept it, just as soldiers using bioweapons do not accept becoming carriers of the virus.

"But I don't feel anything....! I feel so good...."

A clever parasite won't kill all its hosts, it only kills the weak ones. And for the strong ones, it will only... control them.

This is what the "Degradation Energy Research" says.

Shui Jiang was about to say something.

The hatch suddenly opened again.

"Remember to knock next time!" the Saintess said angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Saintess. Those corrupted card masters are planning to make the Ice Dragon retreat, so perhaps we shouldn't advance any further. Ahead lies the range of their siege magic!"

.......

Ghost Fleet, flagship [Bechimo].

"Awesome, we're alive!"

"How did you win My card isn't listening to me anymore."

"He's a death mage from the family, isn't he But they're not part of the army, are they We don't have them on our side."

"Mao's death spirit summoner, it's Lu Da Shi's new creation, he's actually a support....!"

......

Lu Chengzheng was sitting wearily on a bed in the infirmary.

The commotion outside came in, but Lu Cheng didn't find it noisy. After his near-death experience, he even felt like having a drink.

However, medical officers need to thoroughly examine the deteriorating condition of the card masters. Beside them lies a stack of [Energy-Draining Ores].

The nurse was quite attractive. She checked Lu Cheng for a while.

"Master Lu, I've checked everything. You may leave now."

Thank you!

Lu Cheng nodded and walked out with a grunt.

Walking along, she poured herself a cup of Meng Po soup.

"Master Lu, Master Lu!" A female voice called out to him as he came out.

Lu Cheng knew this beautiful woman, the deputy officer of the commander-in-chief.

What's wrong

"The captain asked if you were feeling well, and if you were, would you be able to attend a meeting!"

Lu Cheng thought for a moment, although he was tired, it was a weariness of the soul. Sleeping wouldn't help much, he estimated this would last for quite some time.

Then go ahead, just didn't expect the captain would come looking for me.

.......

As soon as he stepped into the captain's room, Lu Cheng realized there were six people seated inside, without exception, they were all captains of their respective ships.

As for the other captains, they are probably dead. Tonight's battle was extremely fierce. Although the enemy retreated, the Ghost Fleet paid a heavy price.

No wonder they invited me...

This command system is almost extinct.

"Master Lu, please sit." The commander's face was somewhat weary as he invited Lu Cheng to sit down.

Lu Cheng was the last one, but that was normal. After all, each of these captains had their own dedicated medical team.

"Everyone, you're all tired today. I'll get straight to the point. Our mission is complete, so it's time for the draw. Half of you will leave, and half of you will stay." The Commander said slowly.

"Commander, we suffered heavy losses tonight. The Legendary Corps caught us completely off guard. Most of our trap cards have been used up, and nearly half of the ghost ships are out of commission. Many died, and many more were wounded. When the next attack comes, those who remain will surely die." A captain said.

Of course, the person leaving might not necessarily be able to leave...

And in this situation, it's very likely we won't be able to get out of here.

Lu Cheng had already known, so he didn't intend to draw lots. He had a crazy plan!to immortality, but how can he possibly live with the burden of celestial mechanisms and ghostly arts!In a moment of contemplation, Beihai Shuai drew out a remnant soul from the hands of Zhongxin.Then...
