Chapter 288: Chapter 288: The Rock Demon Beast Returns: A Mountain Peak Behemoth

The Elder was utterly shocked when he recognized the Minotaur. It was unbelievable.

As far as he knew, the Minotaur Undead was supposed to be imprisoned beneath the Elemental Tower.

’How did it get out?’

He suddenly recalled the sound of an explosion that had come from the Elemental Tower earlier.

’Could that have been the sound of the Minotaur Undead breaking out?’

A sliver of fear gripped him.

If this Minotaur Undead decided to go on a rampage, no one present could stop it.

It was hailed as the strongest of the Tier Six Undead.

The proudest creation of that Legendary Witch Lich.

Also known as the Mage Slayer!

Fortunately, after blocking the Magic Light Cannon, the Minotaur Undead made no further moves.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the Bone Bridge they had fought so hard to destroy began to reform.

Li Wei’s gaze hardened, and he sprinted toward the Bone Bridge.

"What are you doing?"

Anthony shouted when he saw him.

Li Wei shouted back, "We can’t let it reform! The Bone Bridge must be destroyed!"

"But we’ve done all we can! There’s nothing left to do."

"No, there’s still one last way."

Li Wei raised the Radiant Magic Cannon in his hand.

"It’s loaded with a Sunshine Core, which is extremely effective against the Undead."

"If I detonate the Sunshine Core, it can destroy the Bone Bridge!"

The Radiant Stones from the prototype had been removed and used to manufacture other Radiant Magic Cannons.

The prototype had been re-equipped with its original Sunshine Core.

This was the key to how Li Wei had so easily severed the Bone Bridge with the Radiant Magic Cannon. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

A Radiant Magic Cannon equipped with a Sunshine Core was much more powerful.

Hearing this, Anthony yelled, "Cover Li Wei!"

Minotaur Arno couldn’t fly. After blocking the Magic Light Cannon, he landed on the ground.

His injured arm was gradually recovering.

He saw Li Wei running over.

"What should we do?"

He asked Savinia.

Standing beside him, Savinia was like a small doll, reaching just a little past his knee.

Her figure was completely lost among the countless Skeleton Monsters.

Savinia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let’s just run. I have a really bad feeling."

She could feel a great danger approaching.

Upon hearing this, Arno turned and strode away.

Savinia scrambled to catch up. "Wait for me!"

RUMBLE!

The Undead in Li Wei’s path were swept aside by a barrage of Magic, giving him a clear run.

The black-robed man in mid-air glanced down at Li Wei but paid his actions no mind.

He was completely focused on controlling the Bone Bridge and had no time to bother with Li Wei.

He saw Li Wei hurl the large black rod in his hand toward the Bone Bridge and found it a bit odd.

’What is he trying to do?’

Suddenly, a sense of dread that struck him to his very soul washed over him.

The black-robed man stared intently at the Radiant Magic Cannon thrown by Li Wei.

He could feel an utterly terrifying Power emanating from it.

That Power was rapidly swelling, on the verge of erupting.

BOOM! BANG!

The Sunshine Core inside the Radiant Magic Cannon was detonated by Li Wei.

In an instant, a blazing, platinum-gold sun appeared at the edge of the Floating City, burning fiercely and incinerating everything in its path.

Beneath the light of the platinum-gold Sun, the Soul Flames of entire swaths of Undead were extinguished, and they collapsed, lifeless.

The black-robed man in mid-air screamed wretchedly. His Power failed, and he plummeted from a hundred meters up, black smoke billowing from his body.

Arno leaped from the edge of the Floating City, catching the black-robed man—who was now severely wounded after being exposed to the Sunshine at close range—and plummeted toward the ground.

RUMBLE!

The Bone Bridge completely collapsed.

When the light of the Sunshine dissipated, Li Wei saw a semicircular, smooth gap appear in the Bone Bridge.

The part enveloped by the Sunshine had been completely vaporized, turned to ash.

Sunshine’s power was far more terrifying than Radiant’s.

Its radiant afterglow alone carried a powerful purifying effect, easily extinguishing the Soul Flames of the Skeleton Monsters.

An unprotected Soul Flame stood almost no chance against the brilliance of the Sunshine.

Even Li Wei, at the moment the Sunshine erupted, felt its light sear his heart, as if trying to pierce his very soul.

Li Wei looked down.

A vast number of Skeleton Monsters within the Bone Bridge had been caught in the Sunshine’s blast; their Soul Flames were extinguished, and their Power was gone.

Countless skeletons poured from the Bone Bridge like sand, plummeting from a hundred meters in the air.

The huge Bone Bridge fell apart like building blocks.

Li Wei turned his head to look at Arno, who had jumped off the Floating City.

Savinia was hugging his horn, screaming in mid-air.

In his left hand, Arno clutched a soft, slime-like mass; in his right, he held the black-robed man he’d snatched from the air.

He plummeted a hundred meters to the ground at an astonishing speed.

BANG!

He smashed a large pit in the ground, shattering the surrounding Skeleton Monsters.

Arno ignored the heavily damaged Low-Tier Skeleton Monsters, forcefully slamming the strange thing from his left hand into the earth.

The moment Mephit touched the ground, it burrowed into the earth.

RUMBLE!

The earth trembled and gradually bulged, as if a giant beast was turning over underground.

Li Wei was on the Floating City and couldn’t see what was happening below.

He only knew that Savinia and the others had escaped the Floating City.

Seeing the last Bone Bridge finally destroyed, everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, it’s finally over!"

Everyone cheered.

They began to clear out the remaining Skeleton Monsters on the Floating City.

Without a constant stream of reinforcements, the remaining Skeleton Monsters were quickly dispatched.

But the Elder overseeing the defense didn’t smile. His expression grew even more grim.

There was one thing that still worried him.

’The Minotaur Undead has been set free.’

’Does that mean the other monster has been released as well?’

That monster was far more difficult to handle than the Minotaur Undead.

The Minotaur Undead may have been hailed as the strongest of the Tier Six Undead, but ultimately, that was a measure of its individual strength alone.

The monster called Mephit might not be as powerful as the Minotaur Undead, but it was a far greater threat.

Even Legendary-Level Mages found it incredibly difficult to deal with.

Back then, to capture Mephit, the Elemental Tower had spent a great deal of effort and several years to separate it from the mountain range.

Mephit was a Rock Demon Beast.

It was of great use to the Mage Tower.

Therefore, the Mage Tower chose not to kill it.

He never imagined it would one day be set free.

’If they had known this would happen, it would have been better to kill it then and there.’

What concerned the Mage Tower even more was how the Legendary Witch Lich had managed to turn a Rock Demon Beast into one of the Undead.

When Li Wei saw the Bone Bridge collapse and the Undead below fall still, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and walked towards the others.

Just as he had taken two steps, Li Wei saw a large shadow appear overhead.

He looked up and saw everyone in the distance showing looks of horror, staring blankly at the sky behind him.

Li Wei turned his head subconsciously.

A mountain peak slowly rose, getting higher and higher, even higher than the Floating City.

The upper area of the peak trembled unceasingly, and rocks tumbled down.

An eye slowly opened on the steep cliff face.

A massive eye was staring right at Li Wei.

Mephit stared at Li Wei.

Li Wei froze on the spot.

’What the hell is that thing?’

It was only when several figures appeared on the mountain peak that Li Wei realized what stood before him was an enemy.

Savinia, Arno, and the black-robed man stood on a platform at the top of the mountain peak.

Standing atop the colossal beast’s head.
