The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li's continuous actions of pouring cold water on him made the king realize that this bad guy was not praising him at all. Li was actually mocking him, saying that the king was a complete failure.

Li's comment caused dissatisfaction among the king. How could there be a conflict between a hero and a king? All the great kings in history who overcame difficulties and founded their kingdoms were heroes!

"My dear king, you also know that countries are founded by heroes. So look at the present. Those countries founded by heroes have long disappeared in history! Facts have proved that the countries created by heroes with blood and courage can only be maintained for a while and cannot last long!"

"Nonsense! If the kingdom is really as bad as you describe, why have I been able to rule it for hundreds of years?"

"It is precisely because you, Your Majesty, have been sitting firmly on the throne for hundreds of years that the kingdom has made no progress in these hundreds of years!"

Lee's sophistry made the king extremely uncomfortable, as if no matter from which angle he discussed it, Lee could always find a way to criticize the king.

In fact, Li was not deliberately looking for trouble. It was just that the organizational structure of the feudal kingdom had too many weaknesses and loopholes.

"Ah! You evil man who talks nonsense, I will kill you!"

Finally, the king was enraged by Li. His metal armor suddenly stood up, and the gaps in the armor were penetrated by the holy light as if it were real.

Hundreds of years ago, the King's Sword, forged by the kingdom's skilled craftsmen, radiated a dazzling brilliance.

Seeing that the king finally resorted to force, Li nodded with satisfaction.

Li knew long ago that he could not kill the enemy with words alone. If he wanted to deal with this stubborn king, he would have to rely on fighting in the end.

The king was originally a general on the battlefield. The sight of him holding a sword gave people a feeling of invincibility.

The king rushed directly towards Li, and at the moment when Li dodged to the side, the long sword moved sideways and drew a dazzling holy light.

Li was hit by the holy light and fell back against the wall, leaving a deep sword mark on the wall.

"Sword Skill, Splitting the River!"

The king swung out five slashes in different directions in an instant, cutting the already seriously injured Li into pieces. The wall behind Li collapsed under the heavy weight, revealing the royal capital with thousands of lights outside.

The king probably hadn't seen the outside world for a long time. He stood at the gap in the castle, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

"It's the same as it was hundreds of years ago, isn't it?"

Lee stood next to the king and uttered a sentiment that made the king sad and angry.

"For hundreds of years, this capital should have been more prosperous. Generation after generation of talented people would have built tall buildings here and created countless wealth. But because of you, because of your obsession, the capital has always maintained the decadent state of hundreds of years ago."

One of Li's arms had fallen somewhere, and there were several clear sword marks on his body.

But Li acted as if nothing had happened, making sarcastic remarks to the king, constantly hurting the king's fragile and sensitive nerves.

"You monster, why can't you just die quietly!"

"I should ask you this, Your Majesty. Why do you insist on staying on the throne? It would be better for everyone if you dig a hole and bury yourself as soon as possible!"

"You, how dare you! Ah!"

The king was a good man, but suddenly he went crazy after Li said the words grave and death.

When communicating with the king face to face before, Li noticed that the king was not in a good state.

Although the king was surrounded by a rich holy light, the faint breath of death continued to penetrate into every corner of the castle under the holy light.

Li tried to provoke the king to get closer to him. During the continuous slashing just now, Li judged the king's true state.

The king had died long ago, and the contents of the armor were nothing more than indescribable remnants of the king's obsession.

"I am still alive, and I still want to save this kingdom. You don't understand at all. This world is about to be destroyed. The goddess has abandoned us, and we can only save ourselves!"

The king swung his sword and tried to kill the undead wizard Li, but his sword skills gradually changed and posed less and less threat to Li.

"Why, why doesn't the Holy Light have any effect on you!"

Apart from the sword blade that could cause some damage to Li, the king's holy light hit Li's body as light as cotton.

"In fact, I am also very curious about what the holy light you used is."

At first, seeing the king wielding the holy light really scared Li.

But after enduring several holy light attacks, Li discovered that the king's holy light had no effect on him.

Li then summoned the Undead Knights who were watching the fight on the sidelines and asked them to join the battle.

The king's holy light hit the Undead Knight, who should have been seriously injured, and hurriedly checked where he was hit.

Not only did the holy light have no effect on Li, it couldn't even cause any harm to the miscellaneous knights.

The battle suddenly stopped, and the king looked at his palms, gradually falling into panic.

"It seems that my guess was correct, Your Majesty. You have been dead for a long time. What remains in the armor now is just a ghost!"

With a bang, the king's consciousness suffered a severe blow.

The undead souls that remain in the human world because of their obsession are most afraid of someone pointing out their identities.

When the king realized that he had died long ago, his body shrank rapidly and he could no longer even support his armor.

The armor fell to the ground and broke into pieces like porcelain, leaving only the king's confused soul.

"How could I die? When did I die..."

The king's soul kept murmuring. Lee was right next to the king, but the king ignored him.

The king just muttered some things under his breath, to himself, trying to continue to numb himself.

"I am the greatest ruler of this kingdom. I must find a way to save the world. Only under my leadership can the people have a new life..."

Li lay beside the king's soul and listened quietly for a while. After finding that there was no important information, Li ordered the knights to enlarge the hole in the wall.

A beam of sunlight shone through the hole in the wall and directly onto the king's soul. After a scream, the king, who had been crazy for who knows how long, completely left this world.

"This kingdom has been ruled by a mad soul for hundreds of years. There is no hope for it."

After Li muttered this, he suddenly felt bored.

He ran to the top of the mountain to fight with the king in order to get an explanation.

Lee wanted to tell the foolish king that what he had been doing was wrong.

However, all this becomes meaningless when Lee discovers that the king died long ago and that the remaining soul is not even capable of deep thought.

Lee walked out of the King's Room and headed down the path he had taken up the mountain.

Every few steps Li took, an undead knight fell.

These knights who served the Mad King's soul were confused both when they lived and when they died.
