The sounds of countless bones shattering and melting echoed amidst the lightning and fire. Those skeleton soldiers who had been baring their fangs and claws, attempting to break through the formation, were reduced to ashes in droves by this attack. Even the skeleton mages wielding their Netherworld Shields were torn to shreds along with their shields by the raging lightning and fire in less than three seconds.

Smoke filled the air, and the acrid smell of death mingled with the stench of burning.

"Huff... huff..." Qin Ming gasped for breath, staring at the inside of the formation.

When the firelight subsided, the thousands of undead soldiers who had crowded in front of the stone gate had been mostly cleared out. The ground was littered with charred bones, and the few hundred remaining skeletons were missing limbs and no longer posed any threat.

"Well done!" Ah Cheng excitedly wiped the sweat and dust from his face, patted the epic-level tower shield in his hand, and grinned at Qin Ming. "Vice President, this combined magic attack has completely wiped out these bone fragments! The formation left by Mr. Kongming, combined with the equipment bestowed by the Lord, is simply a trap!"

The surrounding Eternal Night members also showed smiles of relief, their tense nerves relaxing slightly.

"Don't get too excited yet, the stone gate isn't closed yet, there might be a new one soon..."

Before Qin Ming could finish speaking, his eyes widened and his voice abruptly stopped.

Just when everyone thought they were about to control the situation, a terrifying howl, neither human nor any known beast, suddenly came from the depths of that dark, massive stone door.

hold head high--!!!

The sound was incredibly penetrating, carrying a sense of vicissitude and decay that had transcended millions of years, and containing an absolute pressure that surpassed all living beings. The sound waves transformed into a tangible gale, blowing out from within the stone gate and extinguishing all the remaining flames in the passage!

"What...what is that sound?" Ah Cheng's smile froze, and his hand holding the shield trembled involuntarily.

"All on alert! Shields up! Mages, prepare your shields!" Qin Ming felt a chill run down his spine as an unprecedented sense of life-or-death crisis enveloped his entire body.

The darkness within the stone gate boiled over the very next second after he gave the order.

Boom! Boom!

With two ear-piercing bangs, two enormous, despair-inducing black shadows forcefully crushed the remaining door frame of the stone gate, soaring into the sky from the darkness and flying directly into the vast dome space above the ruins!

"My God... what kind of monster is that..." An archer's legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, even dropping his longbow.

Everyone looked up, staring blankly at the two enormous creatures in mid-air.

Those were two enormous bone dragons, each over fifty meters long!

They had no flesh or blood on their bodies, but were entirely pieced together from enormous, white bones that gleamed with a metallic sheen. Each rib was as thick as a pillar supporting the sky, and their massive bone wings spread out, blocking out all the light that streamed down from above the ruins.

Within their grotesque and terrifyingly large skulls, the empty eye sockets contained no eyeballs, only two blazing, dark green flames of soul energy.

What's even more chilling is that the spines and necks of these two bone dragons are wrapped with thick, rusty black chains. They were imprisoned by some more terrifying being in life, and even in death, they remain bound by these chains, becoming the nightmare of the dead.

roar--!

The skeletal dragon on the left lowered its proud head, its eerie green flames in its eye sockets locking onto the members of the Eternal Night Guild below. It opened its massive maw, filled with sharp bone teeth, and let out a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding dark green light shone from deep within its ribcage. The light traveled up its spine and finally converged in its gaping maw.

"Oh no! It's about to breathe fire! Ah Cheng, push it up!" Qin Ming roared, his eyes wide with fury.

"Aaaaaah! Absolute Defense!"

With red-rimmed eyes, A-Cheng slammed the epic-level tower shield heavily onto the ground, channeling all his battle aura into it. The hundreds of heavily armored warriors in the front row roared in unison, linking their shields together to form an impenetrable wall of steel.

However, the bone dragon's target was not them.

boom--!

A jet of dark green liquid dragon breath, over ten meters in diameter, poured down, carrying a destructive corrosive law, and directly struck the golden Bagua formation barrier left by Kongming!

Sizzle—!!

An extremely piercing corrosive sound erupted, and large plumes of white smoke rose into the air.

The Bagua formation, which was originally indestructible and could not be shaken even by tens of thousands of undead armies, began to flicker and deform violently under the attack of this terrifying dragon breath.

Click...click...

A very faint cracking sound rang out.

A jagged crack, several meters long, suddenly appeared on the towering ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) golden wall of light! Moreover, the crack was spreading wildly in all directions at a visible speed!

It's on the verge of collapse!

"It can't hold... This formation is about to shatter!" Ah Cheng looked at the golden light covered with cracks, his voice filled with despair.

Qin Ming's face turned extremely pale, ashen. He pulled out a precious high-level appraisal scroll from his backpack, tore it to shreds, and focused his attention on the two monsters in mid-air.

The next second, the feedback made his heart skip a beat.

【Abyssal Skeleton Dragon】

【Race: Undead/Dragon】

【Level: 50】

【Rank: Hell-level BOSS】

"Two level 50 Hell-level BOSSes?!" Qin Ming gritted his teeth, feeling as if the blood in his body had frozen.

Level 50! And it's Hell difficulty!

It's important to understand that beasts that have crossed the level 50 threshold have already begun to grasp the power of laws. Even if they were all equipped with epic-level gear, they would still have to risk their lives to face a normal level 50 boss, let alone a hellish overlord with dragon blood, a whole dimension higher than them!

Moreover, it's at both ends!

"Vice President... what should we do?" The mage leader beside him asked, his voice trembling as he gripped his staff tightly.

“There’s no escaping it...” Qin Ming smiled bitterly, but the next second, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He raised the dagger, the blade slicing through his palm, blood dripping down the edge.

"In the dictionary of Eternal Night, there is no retreat!" Qin Ming looked around at his brothers whose faces were filled with fear, and roared fiercely, "Our lord gave us new life and divine equipment, not so that we would cower like dogs when we encounter a powerful enemy!"

"Once the formation is broken, immediately disperse! Rogues and assassins, draw aggro and hold the line. Mages, spread out and engage in guerrilla warfare. Priests, ignore the warriors' health and unleash holy magic on them!"

Qin Ming stared at the two bone dragons preparing for their second round of breath attacks, gritting his teeth. "Even if I die! I'll break a few bones off these two beasts! Eternal Night belongs to—fight to the death!!!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

In their desperate situation, a mad flame reignited in the eyes of hundreds of Eternal Night's elite warriors. They did not retreat an inch, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to face the devastating impact that would leave them with no chance of survival.
