How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

In a castle outside the Sea Clan King's City, a duke was pacing back and forth anxiously. His face was filled with anxiety, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. It was obvious that he was in great trouble.

It turned out that many of his minions in the court disappeared mysteriously in just a few days, which made the Duke feel unprecedented panic and helplessness. He didn't know what happened, nor did he know whether these minions were still alive.

Just as the Duke was at a loss, black smoke suddenly began to billow out of the ground. The black smoke quickly filled the entire room, blocking out all the light. The Duke's men who were close were instantly enveloped by the horrible black smoke. They screamed in pain, but soon lost their voices and fell to the ground.

The other servants were terrified and fled in all directions. But the Duke did not panic. Instead, he stood there quietly, waiting for something, as if he had expected it.

As the black smoke gradually dissipated, two mysterious figures appeared in front of the Duke. They were wearing strange masks, one with a sad face and the other with a smiling face. The two masks looked very strange, as if they could devour people's souls.

The two men exuded a gloomy and terrifying aura that made people shudder. However, the Duke was not unfamiliar with them, and even felt a little familiar with them. Because these two were the elders from the Elder Hall of the Holy Temple of the Dead - the bitter-faced elder and the smiling-faced elder.

These two elders have reached the immortal level, and their strength is unfathomable. Unlike Tian Dao, they are not new to the immortal level, but have been famous for a long time. Therefore, they appear extremely confident and calm when facing the Duke.

"Bai Feng greets the two elders!" The person who spoke was Duke Bai Feng, a member of the royal family with a distinguished status. But what was unexpected was that Bai Feng was so respectful to the two elders from the Holy Temple of the Dead.

Originally, Bai Feng had great ambitions for the position of Sea King, but to become Sea King, he must first pass the test of the Sea God. However, Bai Feng failed to pass this test, which completely shattered his dream of becoming Sea King.

Despite this, the previous generation of the Sea King granted him the status of Duke in consideration of his contributions to the sea people. But who knew that Bai Feng was not satisfied with this, and deep in his heart he really wanted the supreme throne. For this reason, he even resorted to despicable means and secretly murdered the old Sea King.

After the old Sea King passed away, Bai Feng thought he could finally control the entire empire. But to his surprise, Bai Sen passed the test of the Sea God at an astonishing speed, and with the support of everyone, he successfully ascended the throne of the new generation of Sea King.

Facing Baisen, Baifeng felt at a loss as to where to start. This was because Baisen not only had great ambitions, but also had an invincible uncle, Baizhan, to help him. This put Baifeng in a difficult position and made it difficult for him to realize his ambitions.

For the sake of power, Baifeng even colluded with the Temple of the Dead to fight against the new Sea King, Baison. He planned that once Baison fell, he could secretly control the situation and gradually control the entire Atlantis. In this way, even if he could not ascend to the throne of the Sea King, his actual power would be equal to that of the Sea King.

However, Bai Zhan was already well aware of Bai Feng's tricks. In Bai Zhan's eyes, Bai Feng was just a clown. But Bai Feng was extremely cunning, and every move he made was flawless, so Bai Zhan could never find his flaws.

At this time, the bitter-faced elder took out a bottle of special strengthening potion, handed it to Baifeng respectfully, and told him that this was a reward from the god of death.

Bai Feng asked curiously, "What is this?"

The bitter-faced elder replied, "My Lord Duke, this is the advanced potion given to you by the God of Death. As long as you use it, you can be promoted to the immortal level. By then, you will have enough strength to defeat the Sea King Baisen head-on."

Bai Feng looked at the strengthening potion emitting a dark aura and felt a little hesitant, but he quickly made up his mind and put it into the space ring.

Bai Feng said solemnly: "Sea King Baisen seems to have noticed our plan, and all the people I arranged have been cleared out by him. Now the only people I can control are the city defense team."

The bitter-faced elder consoled him, "Don't panic. Didn't the Holy Temple of the Dead send us to help you? Use the strengthening potion as soon as possible to advance. When the three of us join forces, even if the Sea King has three heads and six arms, we won't have anything to fear!"

Bai Feng thanked him with tears in his eyes: "Then I'll trouble you two elders."

A cloud of black mist emanated from the two elders, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant. After a while, they arrived at the outskirts of the castle. The Smiling Elder finally couldn't contain his joy and began to laugh out loud.

The smiling elder said smugly, "I never expected that Bai Feng would be so stupid."

The bitter-faced elder echoed, "Yes, his desire for power made him lose his mind and blinded his eyes. Otherwise, how could we have such an opportunity?"

The smiling elder frowned and said, "However, this Sea King Bison is really difficult to deal with! We tried every possible way to discredit and slander him, but he was able to remain calm."

The bitter-faced elder nodded in agreement: "Yes, after all, he is someone who has passed the Sea God Trial, so he must be no pushover. And that Bai Zhan is not easy to deal with either!"

The smiling elder sighed and then asked, "The God of Death has ordered that no matter whether this mission succeeds or fails, we must retreat without leaving any trace. Do you think that after Bai Feng uses the strengthening potion, will he be a match for the Sea King?"

The bitter-faced elder shook his head and replied, "Probably not... But it doesn't matter, our goal and mission are almost accomplished. It would be best if Bai Feng can successfully kill the Sea King, but if not, it doesn't matter. We just need to complete our mission."

After listening to this, the Smiling Elder thought it made sense, so he said, "Okay, I'll go and see how the mission is going. You stay here and keep an eye on Bai Feng, just in case."

The bitter-faced elder nodded and responded, "Go, and be careful." After that, the two of them took action.

Bai Feng came to a secret room alone and walked in. He held the strengthening potion tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and expectation.

This bottle of potion was specially made for him by the God of Death. It was said to have powerful power and could help him improve his strength. However, Bai Feng was also full of doubts about the unknown risks.

Finally, he made up his mind and injected the potion into his body. Instantly, a fiery force surged from his body, as if burning his soul. He felt unprecedented pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it silently.

Soon, Bai Feng felt the energy in his body begin to surge. His strength continued to rise, surpassing the previous limit. His strength quickly rose to the peak of the Saint level, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the Immortal level. This change shocked him, but also filled him with expectations for the future.

Bai Feng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. His breath was mixed with black matter. The black gas had a corrosive force and slowly eroded everything around him. The walls, the ground, and the dust in the air were all contaminated by the black gas and gradually became dim.

As time went by, Bai Feng could feel the powerful energy in his body more and more. It was like a volcano, waiting for the right time to erupt. He knew that as long as he was given some more time, he would be able to break through to the Immortal Level and become a true Immortal Level strongman.

"The strengthening potions of the two elders are indeed extraordinary. It seems that we are not far from a breakthrough. Baisen, Baizhan, you all wait for me. When I break through, I will make sure that you die without a burial place! Hahahaha..." Baifeng's laughter echoed in the secret room, carrying with it endless murderous intent and self-confidence.

The bitter-faced elder stood outside the Duke's Castle. He looked up at the sky and when he saw the dark energy rising into the sky, he knew that Bai Feng was about to have a breakthrough. So he immediately cast a barrier to cover the entire Duke's Castle to shield this terrifying dark energy.

Such a huge breakthrough, if not concealed, would definitely attract the attention of others. However, this barrier could effectively block the sight and perception of the outside world, making it difficult for others to detect the abnormal situation in the Duke's Castle.

However, the scene inside the barrier was terrifying. Endless dark energy continuously flowed out of the castle, like a black torrent, surging.

The servants in the castle were unable to resist this terrifying dark force and were corroded one after another. The weaker servants did not even have time to scream before they turned into a pool of blood. Although the slightly stronger servants reacted, they had nowhere to escape due to the existence of the barrier. After being corroded by the dark force, their bodies gradually became stiff, and eventually they slowly turned into zombies without thoughts and only knew how to kill.

The bitter-faced elder watched the tragedy unfolding in the castle expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him. He just stood there quietly, observing the changes in the castle.

As everyone in the castle died and turned into zombies, the castle, which was originally full of vitality and vigor, gradually lost its vitality and slowly became a dead place.
