Chapter 264 A Wild Puppet Master Has Appeared!
--------
In the final stages of the tactical discussion, Galan simply smiled and watched them without uttering a single word, which was extremely eerie.
Time passed quietly.
After a brief silence, “he” in the End City slowly raised his head, gazing at the illusory shadows. His fingertips traced the floating null phantoms, and finally he chose – “Blackbone”.
The deployment of the second and third waves of legions has also been finalized.
Blackbone, upon learning that he had been chosen as the final challenge, became somewhat interested in the battle that would take place in ten days.
What? You're asking me who Blackbone is? I think most people would prefer to call him "The Death Knight."
The undead was originally trapped in the Nether for some reason... It was a withering skeleton from the Nether, and its presence here meant it also had the opportunity to lead the Nether army in battle.
At the same time on the other side.

"Rustle—"
A sound came from the bushes not far away, and a small head quietly peeked out. After looking around to make sure no one was nearby, it emerged from the bushes.
Just moments before, a group of strange figures draped in black cloaks passed by, each bearing an unknown ID above their head. It's important to know that IDs cannot be duplicated.
That jet-black cloak was perhaps not an ordinary outfit; it was more like a prop.
But what's even more surprising is...
The enormous thing they were dragging, shrouded in a huge black cloth, crushed everything in its path—trees, rocks, even the terrain itself.
The marks left on the ground were not ordinary crush marks, but rather deep gear-shaped grooves, which showed just how heavy the load was.
Sensing something amiss too early, the two hid just as the group was about to arrive.
* Crushed grass blocks *
Achilles crouched on the ground, reaching out to gently stroke the ground, the marks left by the gears still vivid in his mind.
"In this direction..."
Coles slowly approached, looking back at the scenery the group had passed along the way. It seemed somewhat desolate, but if you had to guess, it was in the direction of Calathea.
"Oh, so you're from Calathea. That's alright then." Coles said with a sudden realization, one hand on his hip. He had to admit, the crystal around his neck really worked!
Even with its three tails swaying behind it, it looks exactly the same as usual.
"Um……"
"According to rumors..."
It was information obtained from a few players.
"A large-scale offensive will take place in a few days."
“Hmm…should we move further away, or cross the border to another place…?” Koles seemed to be implying something, although he was “quite interested” in the players’ inventory here.
Achilles shook his head helplessly, then stood up, sighed softly, and asked in return, "You forgot? You're still wanted..."
"That's what they say..." Little Rice seemed a little embarrassed and scratched her head, sticking out her little tongue at the other person, trying to get away with it by being cute.
"I never expected this thing to be so important."
As he spoke, he tossed the glittering "Lower World Star" upwards like a coin, caught it steadily, and gestured with two fingers pointing towards the sun, holding the tip.
When the light of the Lower Star and the sun merged together, it emitted a dazzling rainbow of seven colors, and the patterns within seemed to come alive and shine brightly.
Coles' pupils dilated slightly as he stared at the colorful patterns inside. If possible... he decided not to return it and would keep it as a collectible!
It's shiny!
“Just a simple beast…” Achilles glanced at it and muttered a silent complaint.
At this moment, Koles, who was admiring the radiant texture of the "Heart of the Nether," twitched his ears slightly, his expression suddenly hardened, and he quickly put the shiny little gadget in his hand back into his inventory.
"Did you hear that?" Coles asked in a low voice.
"What?" Achilles raised an eyebrow slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.
However, his doubts did not last long, because immediately afterward, he heard two dull thuds as heavy objects fell to the ground.
In the instant the earth shook violently, two enormous shadows covered their area, growing longer and longer as they leaned, and one could faintly hear the sound of steam pipes releasing some kind of misty gas.
The two turned around slowly, somewhat stiffly, and what came into view were two metal-skinned monsters that resembled iron golems, yet were different from them.
"Haha... So iron golems exist in the wild too?"
The two exchanged a glance and slowly took a few steps back, not only because of the strange phenomenon of iron golems appearing in the wild, but also because these things looked completely different from iron golems.
The rough, rusty limbs pounded the ground with a series of sounds, and the scarlet eyes emitted an ominous glow. Long tubes were inserted into its back, which would spray out a mist of steam in sync with the creature's movements.
The most important thing is! This guy has fingers!!!
The level of detail... it's really hard to imagine that this thing in front of me is actually an iron golem, even though it's gradually taking on some "human-like" features.
“First… don’t make any rash moves…” Achilles said, but his body language betrayed him as he pulled Colles back several steps.
As a result… I accidentally bumped into something hard, my back pressed against the cold object, and when I tapped it, it made a metallic sound.
"....."
That's a very real life.
"Where are you... planning to go?" A seemingly leisurely voice came from another tin golem not far away and reached the ears of the two.
To be more precise, a young man with brown-gray hair was sitting on the shoulder of that tin monster.
His hair was slightly messy, yet it exuded a unique charm. His clothes were simple yet stylish, with a blue robe fluttering in the wind.
However, what is most eye-catching is the large red book with gold trim floating beside him.
The book seemed to have a life of its own, quietly floating beside the young man, emitting a faint light.
"Oh... I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?" He rested one hand on the tin golem's forehead, propping up half his face as he looked at the two people in front of him with a half-smile.
At the same time, the tin golem was gradually surrounding the two guys, its massive body blocking any gaps or dead ends that could allow them to escape. If a fight were to break out... just squeezing them together would be enough to kill one of them.
"I am the one of the entire continent..."
"The strongest puppeteer".
"you."
You may call me...
"mustard."
