There Must Be a Lich King

Chapter 31 There Must Be a Lich King

As the husky stared in terror, the ice flower stopped just in front of it, its icy chill freezing the husky's tears.

Awoo~

The husky trembled and squatted in place, not daring to move, while Bai Qi looked excited and made Alpha use it several times in a row. Soon the huge yard was covered with ice flowers, and the constantly dissipating cold air even drove away the summer heat.

"Anywhere the ice sword touches can be frozen, and the effect can extend within a certain range. This skill is much stronger than I imagined."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and continued to have Alpha demonstrate the Ice Armor.

Alpha summoned the ice armor very quickly; in the blink of an eye, a suit of armor was rapidly formed.

"This armor looks familiar."

Bai Qi looked Alpha up and down and quickly recognized that although the armor on Alpha was somewhat rough, it was exactly the same as the armor of the soldiers in "The Legend of the First Emperor" that he had been reading out of boredom a few days ago.

"Alpha, can you control the shape of this armor?"

Crackling.

(It seems like it's possible.)

"Where's this ice sword?"

(That seems like it would work too.)

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he ran back into the house to find paper and pen. He quickly started doodling, and the complete set of equipment of a classic BOSS in a game called World of Warcraft in his previous life appeared on the paper.

As a future mecha pilot, Bai Qi's drawing skills are naturally quite good. Although he is still lacking in details, he has captured the essence of the Filial Son Sword.

"Alpha, try making the ice armor and ice sword according to this."

Bai Qi placed the design drawings in front of Alpha. After carefully examining them, Alpha controlled its armor to slowly transform.

Because of the added textures, Alpha's armor-forming speed was much slower this time. However, when the last Crown of Domination and Frostmourne were completed, Bai Qi couldn't help but admire them.

The Andromon hadn't even taken shape yet, but the filial Lich King had already taken care of it.

Putting aside whether he can actually fight, his appearance alone is enough to scare a large number of enemies to death.

After all, who would have thought that a skeleton would be hidden beneath such an imposing suit of armor?

Speaking of which, the Beast Tamer Association seems to hold some pet costume contests. If Alpha went up with this look, it would definitely sweep the competition.

This intricate design seemed to put a considerable strain on the Alfa, and it began to crumble shortly after being maintained.

The Ice Armor is still in its early stages, and high-precision operations like this consume a considerable amount of energy.

"Alpha, deactivate the ice armor."

At Bai Qi's command, Alpha removed its ice armor, but the Filial Son Sword was left behind, as if it was quite fond of it.

As expected, a classic remains a classic no matter where it is. Once Alpha's skills reach higher levels, we must send Alpha out in battle with its full set of skills.

After all, there must be a Lich King...

Unable to maintain the elaborate armor, Bai Qi designed another set of armor for Alpha. Apart from retaining a helmet, the rest of the armor was kept as simple as possible to ensure agile movement.

Although Alpha has grown larger, its speed advantage remains, and overly bulky armor would actually have the opposite effect.

Moreover, Alpha is an undead race, and its only weakness is the soul fire in its head. The ice armor is more of a nuisance to the enemy.

Imagine this: the enemy finally manages to break through Alpha's armor, only to find nothing inside but bones, while they themselves suffer from freezing damage.

Even after finally breaking Alpha's steel frame, it was quickly broken and rebuilt, making all the effort futile.

This would probably cause a breakdown, right?

After trying out the two new skills, Bai Qi began testing his normal attacks.

Previously, due to Alpha's unique characteristics, it almost exclusively employed hit-and-run tactics. However, now that Alpha has undergone a significant change in size, it has transformed from an assassin into a swordsman. Naturally, Bai Qi wanted to take a closer look at these changes.

Bai Qi searched around and finally settled on a rockery in the courtyard.

"Alpha, don't use any skills, attack that artificial hill and see what happens."

Crackling.

Alpha nodded, gripped the Filial Piety Sword with both hands, stomped heavily on his feet, and his tall body vanished in a streak of light, while the artificial mountain snapped in two.

Before Bai Qi ran to the artificial hill, he saw that the broken part of the artificial hill was perfectly smooth and had even formed a thin layer of frost.

The basic attack is also quite powerful; Ice Shadow Sword Servant, indeed formidable.

Bai Qi's face lit up with a satisfied smile once again, and various ice-type moves kept popping into his mind. He pulled Alpha aside to study them.

"You first... then... finally..."

Seeing Bai Qi's excited expression, Husky, still trapped in the ice flower, yawned boredly, licked the ice flower, and fell asleep.

(Foolish humans...)

……

Tower of Lamentation.

The three-day training quickly came to an end, and the top twenty trainee beast tamers gathered around the Tower of Lamentation, watching the constantly flashing runes on the fifth floor and discussing among themselves.

"Wang Lin, two checkpoints."

"Zhang Dafan, first level."

"Ye Fan. Three Passes"

"Lu Yuan, three passes."

"Elevation, four checkpoints..."

Although they all passed the trials and successfully passed the first three stages, they were all beaten out when they encountered the ten ice demons in the fourth stage.

After all, very few people could withstand a blizzard unleashed by ten Ice Demons.

"Is this the level of students in the city?"

Lu Yuan gave Gao Cheng, who was comforting the Fire Armor Scorpion, a deep look in his eyes, his expression solemn.

He made a special trip to the city of Gusu to grab the first piece of the pie in the Gusu City ghost craze.

With the son of the Undead Legend enrolling in Gusu City, the city will inevitably increase its efforts to cultivate Undead Beastmasters. As long as he demonstrates sufficient strength and talent, he will surely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

And this secret tower is the best opportunity that heaven has given him.

But who could have imagined that a secret tower that could only be entered by novice beast tamers would be so abnormal? He tried his best but still failed to pass the fourth floor.

Fortunately, apart from the person in front of them who passed the fourth level, only two people are still challenging the fifth level; the others have already been defeated.

Based on this calculation, I should be able to rank at least fourth in this secret realm assessment, which is enough to attract the attention of the Beast Tamer Association.

Swish.

Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower. Gao Cheng, who was calming down the Fire Armor Scorpion, went to meet him.

"Han Wei, how is it?"

The thin young man named Han Wei shook his head and said, "Although my Wind Demon Wolf is fast enough, the Ice Ghost Guards on the fifth floor are too well coordinated. One mistake and we lost."

Gao Cheng patted Han Wei on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. At least you barely lost. I was kicked out directly."

Han Wei shrugged indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I was forced to come by my dad. This result is enough to get by."

As he spoke, Han Wei glanced in the direction of the fifth floor and said, "But I reckon the fifth floor shouldn't be too difficult for Xia Xuan, after all, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus has quite a few area-of-effect weapons."
