"What's going on, why did that damn corpse run?"

An undead zombie of gold-tier class was loudly questioning nearby undead as it charged toward the Lantern Knight Order with its subordinates. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The radiant glow from the ascending witch demon attracted almost all intelligent undead in the vicinity.

Due to the witch demon's departure, the banshee issuing commands mid-air with its shrill cries showed visible confusion on its terrifying face.

At this moment, some loyal undead of the witch demon were bombarded with questions from other undead.

Yet there were few accurate responses, as those completely loyal to the witch demon were unaware of their master's reason.

However, these undead never considered the witch demon's escape as desertion, instead attributing it to an unknown occurrence.

Suddenly, thunderous roars emanated from among the living forces.

"The commanders of those undead have fled, brothers, this time we will repel them, for ourselves, for those suffering, to win this first victory!"

The voice pervaded the battlefield, reaching the soldiers attacking the fortress walls.

It reached the ears of soldiers charging out from the city gates, ready for a desperate battle against the undead.

"Brothers! Charge!"

"Drive away these damned corpses, reclaim our homeland!"

"A blood debt has to be paid in blood!"

The soldiers shouted various slogans, following behind the Lantern Knight Order into the ranks of undead soldiers ahead.

Leading the charge, the Lantern Knight Order had formed a triangular attack formation.

The banners marked with the Lamp Mark, held high in the team, radiated silver-white brilliance all around.

Everyone bathed in the light received a full-body enhancement, courage soaring infinitely within their hearts.

At this moment.

The image of Meizike appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

His four hands lifted forward, scattering pale gold particles like stars descending to the battlefield.

Four pale golden streams of light cascaded from heaven, splitting into myriad light points drifting toward every living being on the battlefield.

Soldiers touched by the light points felt a thin golden shield around them.

Weapons adorned with light points flashed faint golden brilliance.

The enhancement against the undead was enjoyed by almost all soldiers.

"Oh oh oh! Charge!"

Such enhancement roused every soldier further, filling their hearts with boundless fighting spirit.

Miralina was dressed as a warrior at this moment.

The dazzling trident in her hand waved, launching blade after blade of water, slicing down swathes of undead ahead.

Watching the Lantern Knights already deep within the undead ranks at the forefront.

"These knights' prowess can rival the Siren Song," remarked a golden Merfolk warrior guarding beside Miralina.

He glanced toward the nearby Merfolk warriors near the Lantern Knight Order.

With each swing of their tridents, swathes of undead were flung away.

Streams of water guarded by their sides, engulfing any undead trying to approach, subsequently turning them into a pool of black water.

The combined forces of the Lantern Knight Order and Jabi Sea Empire's Siren Song Squad totaled 3000 men.

This 3000-man army inflicted astounding damage on tens of thousands of undead, and needed gold-tier undead interventions to stop them.

Yet Kane and company had gold-tier members not less in number than undead.

With matched duels, no one could halt them.

This 3000-man force rampaged across the undead battlefield, almost invincible, leaving only shattered flesh and bones in their wake.

This uplifted the morale of all soldiers present, having witnessed firsthand these valiant knights' prowess.

Their weapons further exaggerated potential harm against undead.

Various launchers and combat weapons adeptly safeguarded them, allowing efficient damage while ensuring their safety.

With the witch demon's absence.

All undead on the battlefield carried out previous commands to annihilate the living.

Yet lacked coordination, even pushing and shoving each other.

…

Amidst this, in the distance, Kane and his companion persistently attacked the soul box within the skeleton's torso.

The entire plain resonated with a piercing, buzzing sound.

The unexpected hardness of this golden skeleton-formed bone sphere led Kane to create a colossal electric drill spinning nonstop.

Aiming to penetrate a section of the bone sphere to damage the protected soul box inside.

Mad spinning generated sparks, turning bone fragments into powder, scattering around.

Meanwhile, Longbei transformed into a five-meter Titan size, no longer possessing a chalk-like body.

His bloodstream continuously adapted to the Titan lineage, allowing retention of flesh and Titan physique.

Beyond shedding the chalk-like body, lightning coursed through him, visibly swelling his muscles further.

Pervading lightning seemingly clad Longbei in a layer of blue-yellow armor.

Suddenly, a rift burst open above them.

Sensing an enemy arrival.

Longbei immediately hurled an electric hammer at the rift.

A newly revealed figure promptly raised a shield to deflect the flying hammer, which exploded in webs of lightning on the shield.

Producing tendrils of smoke off a sluggish arm.

Now the emerging silhouette at the rift finally exposed its original form.

It was the witch demon, escorted by his inseparable duo of immortal guards, one just blocking Longbei's flying hammer.

The Immortal Guard is a type of zombie, with armor that resembles gold. Even though their bodies have become mummies, they still appear unusually large.

The shield in their hands reflects a bright metallic sheen, and with the other hand, they wield a curved saber from the desert.

It's said that they were once guards for a royal family, which turned them into undead after death, yet still able to fulfill their guarding duties.

With the appearance of the lich, the bone sphere controlled in front of Kane suddenly disappeared from its original place.

It broke through space directly and appeared in the lich's hand above.

Seeing this scene, Kane did not intervene.

"Is it you? Shouldn't you be defending your fortress?"

He recognized Kane, recognized the aura of soul emanating from him.

On a previous battlefield, he almost breached the fortress, but the near victory was destroyed by the man before him.

The lich broke the bone sphere, merging the grayish-brown bone inside into its own body.

"How did you know my Soul Box was here?"

After obtaining the Soul Box, the lich visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why ask so many questions? Now that your Soul Box is inside you, it seems you can't reincarnate."

"Hmph, you think the two of you can kill me? Kill the great Skeleton Maker?"

The lich landed on the ground, keeping a distance from Kane and the others, raising its massive Bone Scepter and shouting loudly.

"Skeleton Maker? Making those cowardly Skeleton Soldiers?" Longbei taunted.

Without saying more, Longbei directly launched a Lightning Flying Hammer again.

Watching Longbei's actions, Kane directly entered the Divine Power state of the Radiant Balance, with a dazzling golden Holy Light emanating from his body.

Then he waved his hand.

A semicircular dome, 500 meters wide, covered everyone on the field.

Kane then did not act further but floated in mid-air.

"What arrogance! Human, you will pay for your arrogance."

Kane ignored the lich's words.

Instead, he waved towards Longbei.

A huge mechanical backpack appeared on Longbei's back, shooting out massive energy that propelled him swiftly towards the lich's location.

"Thanks, good buddy!"

Then Longbei slammed right in front of the lich, and as he landed, the ground shook violently, with cracks spreading out from his landing point.

Blue light flickered from the cracks, with a massive amount of lightning emerging from the crevices beneath the ground, covering the entire area.

The two Immortal Guards on the ground were immediately enveloped in electric light, with a scorched smell and blue smoke emanating from their bodies.

The lich had already prepared a spell the moment Longbei flew over, sending countless skulls trailing black smoke crashing towards Longbei.

During their flight, accompanied by piercing screams and cries of agony.

The shield in Longbei's hand, wrapped in a thin layer of electric light, effortlessly swatted away the incoming skulls.

Then he launched another Lightning Flying Hammer, this time with more electric light, flashing with glaring brightness during its flight.

His bloodline continuously aligned closer to the Titans, making Longbei's mastery of lightning increasingly skillful, like second nature.

This also allowed him to finally have some ability to inflict long-range damage, so he wouldn't be powerless every time he encountered an opponent who could kite him from afar.

Faced with this situation, the lich had no choice but to cover himself in several layers of Magic Shield.

Meanwhile, Longbei fought with the two Immortal Guards who had already charged over.

An unexpectedly enlarged arm, carrying exaggerated strength and electric light, swept from the side.

The two Immortal Guards had no time to react before being smashed away by the immense force.

Their strength and size were vastly inferior to Longbei.

In close combat, Longbei's physique and suddenly enlarging limbs always caught enemies off guard, causing serious injuries.

Not to mention that Longbei's bloodline within him was turning into Titan's Blood.

The bloodline continuously strengthened Longbei's constitution and power.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a dark green beam accurately struck Longbei's body.

Seeing his attack land, the lich cracked his hideous mouth.

The excitement was visibly etched on his face.

He couldn't wait to see Longbei wither away under this decay ray.

However, the result proved something he couldn't understand.

"Why?"

The magic attack that hit Longbei was like infrared light from a red flashlight striking a steel plate.

No reaction whatsoever.

Longbei touched the spot where he was attacked.

"I must say, your attack packs a punch, almost got me red."

With that, he flipped and launched another Lightning Flying Hammer, chattering relentlessly, "You know, not many things can penetrate my defenses, and you're one of the few who can make me feel pain, you should feel honored for my compliment."

Longbei would never pass up such a good chance to taunt.

"Shut your mouth, you damn dwarf."

The lich dodged Longbei's hammer, cursing at Longbei.

He felt his emotions flaring with anger, but relied on his calm mind and the high willpower of a mage to suppress it.

"But now you're shorter than a dwarf, little mage."

With that, Longbei laughed heartily, stomping hard on the ground and leaping up, raising his hammer to smash down towards where the lich was.

The two Immortal Guards that were swept aside earlier suddenly appeared in front of the lich, raising their shields to block Longbei's attack.
