At the rear of the battlefield, Chen Luo calmly observed the entire scene.
He was contemplating methods to deal with these undead monsters and trying to pinpoint the elusive King of the Undead.
The sense of threat from the distant great tomb had long vanished, but ever since Theodore had spoken, Chen Luo had felt a pervasive, prickling sense of danger.
Moreover, these undead, the Dead Soul Skeletons, were a significant problem. Although Chen Luo could instantly kill them,
these monsters, capable of infinite resurrection, posed a problem if they dispersed and attacked humans instead of engaging Chen Luo. In such a scenario, Chen Luo would be overwhelmed.
Therefore, both Theodore and these Dead Soul Skeletons had to be eliminated here.
Within his golden dragon eyes, Eagle Eye and Demon Eye techniques were pushed to their limits.
Every subtle tremor in the air was captured by Chen Luo's vision.
The Demon Eye's weakness-finding effect was maximized; he intended to discover the undead monsters' vulnerabilities while the Legion Commanders were engaged!
The battlefield situation changed in an instant. Wei Dayong, who had initially made a stunning appearance, was now in a critical situation, on the verge of being torn apart by countless claws.
Facing the onslaught of terrifying skeletal remains, Wei Dayong could only instinctively raise his two great axes at the last moment, attempting to defend himself.
After all, his class leaned towards constitution and strength, with no particular prowess in agility. Against these phantom-like enemies, he could only endure passive attacks.
"This is bad! Do I have to return to the city right after appearing?!"
As Wei Dayong raised his axes to defend, a figure enveloped in moonlight suddenly traversed the battlefield.
The next moment, a small foot clad in battle boots fiercely kicked Wei Dayong's massive battle axe:
"Awooo! (Big bald head!! Go back!!)"
The wolf-eared loli with blue eyes, brimming with a desire for battle, kicked the defenseless Wei Dayong like a cannonball, sending him plummeting backward.
Mid-air, she abruptly turned her head, her blue eyes instantly transforming into vertical pupils, her fighting spirit surging within them!
"Awooo!!! (Moonlight flows! Wolf's Hunt!!)"
Within the encirclement of flickering black shadows, figures darted through the air like streaks of light.
Xiaoyue, with her silver shoulder-length hair, was filled with fighting spirit. This level of power, which she had never reached in her past life, granted her immense freedom!
With every swing of her hands, moonlight-imbued claw marks lingered in the air. These tangible claw marks, as they slashed, effortlessly turned the ferocious skeletal remains into shattered pieces during their charge.
And where these claw marks grazed the ground, they left terrifying trenches extending for tens of thousands of meters.
With her blue eyes shifting, Wei Dayong could see that the Dead Soul Skeletons, moving like phantoms, were merely slow-motion sparring partners before Xiaoyue.
The fully realized Xiaoyue finally displayed the ferocity of a legendary pet, a power far exceeding that of ordinary hidden classes.
However, while Xiaoyue's attacks could easily cleave these monsters, the sheer numbers of the monsters held an absolute advantage.
Under the relentless onslaught, the shattered Dead Soul Skeletons were once again restored to their complete forms.
Xiaoyue, with her agile movements, could kill them hundreds or thousands of times, but if she made even one mistake!
*Buzz!*
Under the continuous siege, Xiaoyue, whose battle spirit grew increasingly fervent, failed to notice a jet-black bone claw from a Dead Soul Skeleton behind her lunging towards her!
The death intent condensed on the bone claw was the most venomous damage to a living body; once it struck, it would inflict pain directly into the soul.
And all attacks targeting the soul were damage that the Legion's Descent could not currently counter.
Xiaoyue, lost in the frenzy of killing, paid no heed to the gust of wind rising behind her, utterly captivated by the long-awaited slaughter.
Just as the claw of death was about to pierce Xiaoyue's back, an ice-blue light plummeted through the battlefield like a meteor!
*Boom!!*
The ground shattered violently. Hundreds of surrounding skeletons were instantly frozen by the ice-blue energy upon impact, and the next moment, they disintegrated into dust amidst the shockwave.
Xiaoyue, engrossed in her killing spree, only felt the aura of a natural predator descend behind her. Her previously wild expression instantly turned docile.
A hand clad in crimson armor, exuding a chilling cold, patted Xiaoyue's shoulder:
"Slow down your charge, I'll cover you. Don't get hurt."
His icy tone was filled with concern, causing Xiaoyue to pause for a moment. She instinctively turned her head, gazing blankly at Su Xiao, who was raising his spear, ready to face the enemy.
Seeing the battle-armored loli blinking her large green eyes, Su Xiao felt his heart take another critical hit.
Such an adorable Xiaoyue; he absolutely had to capture her and pet her ten thousand times later.
Xiaoyue, who had felt a surge of warmth in her heart, instinctively felt a terrifying chill and trembled.
And while the two were momentarily stunned.
The surrounding skeletons, frozen and turned to dust, were reborn once more amidst the dark energy.
At the rear of the battlefield, Chen Luo silently analyzed everything:
"Being frozen is useless. That dark energy can directly penetrate the ice and reassemble."
"Moreover, this ghoul's revival is accelerating!"
The instantly recovered Dead Soul Skeletons, taking advantage of the momentary lapse of the man and the wolf, attacked again.
Their speed was so insane it even surpassed the wind.
The black phantoms were about to pierce the man and the wolf directly.
Wei Dayong, running from afar with his twin axes, watched the scene with bloodshot eyes, but his lack of speed prevented him from reaching the battlefield in time.
Su Xiao and Xiaoyue's brows furrowed simultaneously; the monsters' speed seemed to have increased slightly.
They could block it, but they might get injured.
As their thoughts flashed, they had already assumed their defensive stances.
The struggle had long permeated their instincts.
"What battle doesn't involve bloodshed! Come on!!"
"Awooo! (I'm super fierce!!)"
The world of the Dead Soul Skeletons knew only malice towards the living and the king's commands; battle intent was worthless to them.
Their claws, filled with death intent, would mercilessly crush the enemies before them!
But!
"Command! Deter!"
A sweet, ethereal voice echoed across the battlefield. A beam of white light instantly traversed the entire combat zone.
The tens of thousands of Dead Soul Skeletons swept by the white light were instantly frozen in mid-air.
And before Chen Luo, Hu Tao's eyes were shining with an unprecedented pure white radiance.
"Command! Light Armament!!"
Pure white light converged on Xiaoyue's fingers, Su Xiao's Dragon Spear, and the monk's great axe – it was a power boost originating from Hu Tao.
Despite marveling at the power Hu Tao displayed, Su Xiao and Xiaoyue's reactions were not slow in the least.
"Ice Moon Dance! Celestial Collapse!!"
The two instantly transformed into phantoms, flashing rapidly across the field.
Where the spear tip pointed, nothing was unbreakable!
Where the claws aimed, the great thousand shattered!
Intertwined with moonlight and ice,
the tens of thousands of skeletons frozen on the battlefield instantly shattered!
*Crack!*
The two who had broken through the enemy ranks reappeared on the battlefield, unstained by even a speck of dust.
After defeating the enemy, they tacitly high-fived each other, their backs to the rain of shattered bones.
Wei Dayong, who had only halfway made his way over, holding his great axe enhanced with special effects,
looked at the two who had finished their work and the priest behind them who claimed to only be able to heal, and was speechless:
"I feel like my hidden class is the youth version."
