Da Yi's earth-shattering arrow not only forced the arrogant hell-level bone dragon back, but also tore a gap open in the dark sea of ​​the dead.

However, this is just the beginning.

Just as the members of the Eternal Night Guild were still reeling from the shock of Da Yi's godlike appearance, the dense darkness above the ruins began to churn violently.

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by a sacred hum that pierced the soul, a beam of light of unparalleled brilliance pierced through the millennia-old gloom of the Abyss of Mist with overwhelming force.

“That is...” Qin Ming stared wide-eyed, his bloodshot eyes wide, looking up at the sky.

At the center of that pillar of light, a figure bathed in endless holy radiance slowly descended.

Six pristine white wings of light suddenly unfurled behind him, each feather shimmering with a profound aura of law. Wielding a greatsword of the cross, burning with pure white holy fire, his holy, majestic, and inviolable aura swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami.

"It's Lord Gabriel!" Ah Cheng was so excited that he dropped the tattered tower shield in his hand and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Without pausing, Gabriel raised the Holy Light Cross sword high as he descended, uttering a word devoid of emotion yet utterly majestic: "Holy, Purify."

A loud bang was heard!

In an instant, a visible ripple of golden holy light spread out wildly from Gabriel's center.

For the members of the Eternal Night Guild, the light was as warm as spring. Their wounds, which were originally deep enough to expose the bone, miraculously began to heal under its illumination, and their depleted mana was rapidly recovering.

But for those undead skeletons, this holy light was nothing short of a catastrophe!

"Hiss—!"

"roar!"

Upon contact with the Holy Light, thousands of undead soldiers erupted in agonizing screams.

The eerie blue soul flames on their bodies shook violently, like snow that had been doused with boiling oil. Large amounts of white smoke billowed from the surface of their bones, and then, with a series of crisp cracking sounds, they turned into bone dust that filled the sky!

In the blink of an eye, the once hopeless sea of ​​the dead was largely destroyed by this vast holy light!

Even the skeletal dragon that had just regained its footing in mid-air trembled violently when it was struck by the aftershocks of the holy light. The seemingly indestructible dragon bones on its body showed signs of melting, and it let out an extremely painful howl, forced to flap its bone wings and retreat.

This overwhelming power gave the members of the Eternal Night Guild, who were in dire straits, a chance to catch their breath.

"My lord! It's the Lord who's here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted first, and then the entire remaining team erupted in deafening cheers.

The overwhelming joy of escaping death brought tears to the eyes of these men who had just walked the edge of life and death.

Zhou Huai, far away in the underground base of Donghai City, was controlling two top-level clones on two separate lines.

"Everyone, immediately exit the ruins via the teleportation array!"

Dragging his injured left arm, Qin Ming rushed forward, shouting, "Jasmine! How's the teleportation array?"

Beside the teleportation array not far away, Jasmine, her face covered in dust, gritted her teeth as her staff continuously channeled magic to stabilize the array: "The array's core has been reactivated! However, the energy is extremely unstable, and it can only teleport one hundred people at a time!"

"Enough!" Qin Ming turned around and sternly ordered all guild members, "Mages and priests, go first! Heavy warriors, retreat last! Don't panic, line up and immediately carry out the lord's orders!"

Seeing the orderly retreating troops below, Zhou Huai felt a slight relaxation in his tense state.

But he did not let his guard down completely, maneuvering Gabriel to hover in mid-air, his eyes fixed intently on the depths of the ruins.

"Where did these undead armies come from?"

Zhou Huai frowned, his mind racing.

The Eternal Night Guild has explored the Abyss of Mist more than once.

Although there are many strange beasts in the outer area, most of them are demonic creatures infected by the abyss aura.

An ancient undead army of this size, with a complete organizational structure and even the ability to deploy troops, is definitely not one of the original beast species found in the ruins!

What made Zhou Huai even more uneasy was—

He had just used Gabriel's Divine Purification skill to crush a large number of skeletons into bone dust, but the system notification sound was completely silent!

No kill notification!

No experience points were earned!

This is completely contrary to the system rules of this world!

"Could it be that the skill just now only countered them in terms of attributes and shattered their form, but did not truly eliminate them?"

Zhou Huai's intuition told him that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

Sure enough, just as he had this thought, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield below that had been swept by holy light!

"Click click click..."

A chilling, dense sound of bones grinding together rang out.

Zhou Huai narrowed his eyes and saw that the remains of the dead, which had been scattered all over the ground and even turned into bone dust, were being pulled by some kind of invisible thread and began to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} writhe and gather violently on the ground!

In less than ten seconds, the broken bones were pieced back together, and a ghostly blue flame of the soul ignited in the empty eye sockets!

They let out a series of silent roars, and miraculously rose from the ground, regrouping into a boundless torrent of skeletons, which frantically chased after the teleportation array!

Even the skills of an SS-rank Holy-type professional couldn't completely kill it?

Zhou Huai's face darkened completely.

What exactly are these skeletons?

It actually possesses the bizarre characteristic of being immortal!

As Zhou Huai pondered this, his hands never stopped moving.

Gabriel's six wings vibrated wildly, and a continuous stream of holy light transformed into a rain of light that poured down on the skeletons that had risen again.

On the other side, Da Yi, suspended in mid-air, also drew his Star Bow to its full extent.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The dense rain of starlight arrows fell like meteors, each strike piercing the skulls of dozens of skeletons and pinning them to the ground. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

With just the two god-like figures of Da Yi and Gabriel, they formed an insurmountable line of fire in front of the narrow passage of the ruins, firmly keeping the tens of thousands of undead army a hundred meters away from the teleportation array.

However, Zhou Huai's heart did not relax; instead, it grew heavier.

"Although the individual strength of these skeleton armies is not strong, averaging only around level 30 or 40, this infinite resurrection mechanism is disgusting." Zhou Huai gritted his teeth inwardly within his body.

Although both of his clones possess terrifying destructive power at the SS level, their mana is also limited!

Faced with such an unkillable and inexhaustible enemy, the defense line will collapse once the mana is depleted! We simply can't afford to drag this out!

"We must find a way to cut off the source of their resurgence..."
