Brian gazed at the Ling Jiu in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, " Ling Jiu, since you have decided to follow me, I will give you a new name. This is also a way to bid farewell to the past and embrace a new beginning."
Brian pondered in his heart that the name Ling Jiu sounded too gentle and did not quite fit its current identity. Moreover, it had died once before, so calling it Ling Jiu no longer seemed appropriate. It needed a more majestic name.
"When you spread your wings and soar, you are like a fierce and mysterious star in the night. From now on, you shall be called Night Fury!" Brian's voice revealed authority.
" Ling Jiu," now should be called Night Fury, it said respectfully, bowing its head. "Thank you for bestowing this name, master. From now on, I am Night Fury."
"From now on, if the master tells me to go east, I will never go west. If the master tells me to eat meat, I will never drink soup."
Yèshà expressed absolute obedience.
Brian looked at Nightshade, who was so obedient, and felt quite satisfied.
You see, among the creatures resurrected by the Lich Lord, the stronger the individual, the more residual consciousness from their past life, and the greater the possibility of resistance. But Nightshade seems to have no such resistance, it is completely submissive to me.
Even though Nightshade possesses the ability to transform into a spirit and enter dream realms, greatly increasing its own power, as long as it harbors even a hint of resistance, Brian will absolutely annihilate it without hesitation.
After some thought, Brian issued another command: "Nightshade, with your spiritual abilities, go cooperate with Carter and form the Death Knights. This way, your combined strength will be greatly enhanced."
Nightshade hesitated upon hearing this command. It used to be a leader in its own right, but now it had to become someone else's mount, which made it feel somewhat humiliated. Moreover, it felt that Carter hadn't played a significant role in the previous battles, only snatching a kill at the last moment.
"Master, I..." Nightshade hesitated to speak.
Brian frowned and said in a deep voice, "What? You're unwilling?"
"Just now you were saying you would absolutely obey my orders, but now you won't even listen to my first order. Is that your response?"
Yes, master, I'm willing," Nightshade quickly said.
Although it was somewhat unwilling, it knew that it had no room for resistance at the moment. So, it reluctantly approached Carter and said, "Lord Carter, please take a seat."
Carter looked at Nightshade and shook his head, saying, "No, I will not go up there."
Upon hearing this, Yeshaw was filled with anger. It thought, "We are both under the command of the master, how dare you look down on me?"
Carter seemed to sense Yeshaw's thoughts, and he walked up, gently patting Yeshaw's back, saying:
"Yesha, you misunderstand. My choice not to ride you is not because I look down on you. On the contrary, since you have chosen me, I will consider you as my partner, my brother. In this world, we live and die together."
"We don't have the concept of superior or subordinate, we are one!"
After listening to Carter's words, the anger in Nightshade's heart slowly dissipated. It looked up at Carter, whose eyes were so sincere, warming Nightshade's heart. Nightshade understood that it had finally found a true friend, a partner to stand side by side in battle.
"Alright, from now on, we are good brothers who share life and death!" Nightshade thought this in its heart and said it out loud. It finally let go of the grudges in its heart and fully accepted Carter.
Carter was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately climbed onto the back of Nightshade.
At that moment, Carter felt like he had truly become a death knight! His strength suddenly became much stronger, and Nightshade also became even more powerful with a new partner.
Their master, Brian, also felt this power, and his strength has also increased slightly.
"Nightshade, you and Carter are now a team. I will take these ravens with me, and I will command them in the future," Brian said to Nightshade.
Although Nightshade felt a little reluctant, it knew that Brian was their master, and his orders had to be obeyed. So, Nightshade nodded in agreement.
"Okay, master, I will let them know to follow your command," Nightshade replied.
After speaking, Nightshade flew into the air and let out a strange cry.
Soon, the ravens that were originally scattered around capturing Skeleton Soldiers seemed to hear some mysterious call, and they all abandoned their work and flew rapidly towards the bone tree forest. The sky instantly became dark and the dense figures of ravens blocked out the sunlight, as if they were about to devour the entire sky.
Nightshade looked at the densely packed ravens in the sky, a hint of solemnity flashing in its eyes. It took a deep breath, turned around, and loudly introduced to the newly arrived ravens:
"From now on, all of you must obey this gentleman's command. His orders are your code of conduct. He is not only my master, but will also be your master."
ravens were a little stunned for a moment, they whispered to each other, discussing eagerly.
"Who is this guy? How did he suddenly become our master?"
"Hmm, there seems to be a very special aura about him that makes me feel really comfortable."
"Then should we still catch the little skull in the future?"
Brian looked at the ravens chattering away, but none of them submitted directly to him, which made him somewhat displeased. He furrowed his brow slightly, then took a deep breath and slowly released the aura of the Lich Lord.
The ravens, who fed on deathly energy, immediately quieted down upon sensing this powerful deathly aura. They knew that this new master possessed the power of death and was their natural ruler.
Nightshade saw the situation and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these not very bright little guys would annoy Brian and then take it out on him.
Brian felt the submission of the ravens and couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. This time in hell, he not only subdued guys like Nightshade, but also gained a group of ravens who were very compatible with him. His strength undoubtedly received a huge boost.
Now, he has acquired Karl's Shadow Stealth skill, allowing him to silently approach enemies and slip into the Shadow Realm; he also possesses the Nightshade's Ethereal skill, enabling him to evade attacks at critical moments; not to mention that mysterious Dream Arrival skill, which he has yet to test for its effects.
Brian is filled with confidence, convinced that he now possesses enough strength to return to the human world without any worries. He stands in the bone tree forest, surveying his surroundings, ready to lead his newly recruited subordinates away from this place.
"Young ones, we're going back, I'll take you to find a new home!" Brian announced loudly.
The ravens immediately cheered and chattered excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to start a new life.
"Wow, finally I can have a new home!"
"Can I move to live next to Lord? That way it will definitely be safer!"
"Get lost, the spot next to Lord is reserved for me!"
These little guys are so excited, each one chattering non-stop.
Brian looked at their lively appearance and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, as if this place was not a dangerous hell.
However, just as they were preparing to leave, the ground suddenly shook violently. Brian's face changed, feeling a powerful force emerging from deep underground. Then, a huge bone tree root broke through the soil and headed straight for Brian.
Brian didn't have time to react before he was tightly entangled by the huge tree roots. Before he could even react, the roots directly strangled him to death.
