A week has passed since parting with Steel Bone and the others.

Almost all the undead who rushed to the frontline from other places have arrived.

These undead came for the purpose of hunting living beings and devouring souls.

No logistics, no preparation needed.

Their arrival finally allowed the undead lords around here to form an effective defense line.

They began to lead their troops in orderly resistance against Kane and his soldiers.

Instead of the chaotic and disordered defense they had previously.

However, their arrival did not hinder Kane's continuous hunting of the undead lords.

It only slowed down the soldiers under Kane's command.

The living beings occupied a defense line consisting of a river, forest, and a small cliff, fighting a tug-of-war with the undead.

Because Kane kept hunting the undead lords, these undead still couldn't organize a decent counterattack.

After Kane hunted down a certain number of undead during this period, he began to slow down his actions.

He couldn't kill more undead lords, as this might cause the defense around Facundo's corpse to be too weak and lead to possible unexpected incidents.

The defense barrier is linked to each undead.

The more undead that die, the weaker the barrier becomes.

Now, the ones he has killed, plus those Kreya has taken out within the undead forces.

And afterwards, they'll wipe out the undead in the core area.

The undead slated to die account for 2/3 on the contract book, maybe even more.

The remaining 1/3 shouldn't be too weak, perhaps it will force those three Kings of the Undead to spend more power to break it.

So Kane thinks that at least 1/3 should be left as final insurance.

As Kane was pondering, he felt the crystal stone at his waist gently shaking.

"Finally sorted it out?"

Looking at the shaking crystal stone, it was a message from Steel Bone.

Hopefully, it is good news.

......

"Steel Bone, gathering everyone here, you must have something important to discuss with us."

"Gagaga, yes, have you decided on something, gagaga."

"I smell something unusual, is it ambition? Or intrigue?"

"Didn't expect you all to come, so many, Steel Bone, your ambition isn't small!"

Various voices came from the mouths of the surrounding undead.

Recently, after Steel Bone and the others returned this week, they actively engaged with each undead.

Intentionally displaying their inexplicably enhanced strength, and it wasn't just him, all four of them had received power boosts.

And they are loyalists, not aligned with the three Kings of the Undead.

This particular display attracted nearly all the undead in the core area.

Though they obeyed the three Kings of the Undead, they weren't fully committed.

If there's a better choice, why not?

Finally, today, they were gathered here by Steel Bone and the others.

"Alright, Steel Bone, since everyone gave you face by coming here, let's hear what you want to discuss."

This was a huge Frankenstein with lines stitched densely all over its body. The tightly stitched mouth didn't hinder its speech.

He stared at Steel Bone with his muddled, whitish eyes: "I hope it's genuinely important information."

Steel Bone's soul fire burned in the sockets of his head, staring at the group of undead in front of him.

His jaw cracked open, laughing heartily: "Hahaha, rest assured, everyone, this time the news is enough to make you all linger forever."

Linger till there's no chance of return, hahaha.

The Ghost silently added in its mind.

"What's it got to do with you?"

A voice echoed again within the soul, making the Ghost curse inwardly: "I told you not to pry into my thoughts."

"You're too weak, your inner voice is shouting loudly in my ear, so..."

Before the Eye Demon's soul communication finished, the thread linking the Ghost was forcefully severed.

Above the cliff where they were gathered.

In the layered Evil Spirit Cloud, a huge disk floated within.

The remaining souls within the cloud howled around the disk, desperately trying to enter.

There's something inside attracting them.

A ring of black and white flames suddenly ignited around the disk, scaring the evil spirits away.

At the center of the disk lay Kane and the others.

Besides Kane and Kreya, there were Raphael's squad, Funa's trio, and guild members of Gold-level strength.

But Israel wasn't present; its size was too cumbersome for a battle like this to unleash its full power.

This was, after all, a grand melee.

Among Kane's Gold-level generals, formidable ones were also present, such as the National Guardian Sword Saint who joined them a few months ago.

Currently, the screen in front of them displayed the scene of Steel Bone and the others gathering below.

"There are quite a lot of enemies this time, and none are weak."

Raphael couldn't help but say, looking at the undead displayed in the screen.

There were several among them which seemed he might be no match for.

Despite being one of the top-tier powers in Lantern Guild besides Kane and the others.

Upon hearing Raphael, Kane turned around and smiled to comfort him: "Don't worry, soon I'll enter Holy Grail state and grant you very strong Holy Light Enhancement."

Then, Kane's tone became serious, addressing everyone present: "But remember, you only have 10 seconds; I hope your attacks are the most powerful right away. Within 10 seconds, eliminate at least half the enemy."

After Kane's words, Raphael gestured okay, and everyone nodded.

A powerful enhancement that requires infinite magic power to be added, just thinking about it, you know how powerful it is.

"The signal has arrived, let's go down."

The crystal stone at Kane's waist began to sway, and Steel Bone made a gesture in the screen.

Indicating that now is the time.

Upon hearing Kane's words, everyone immediately prepared themselves, tightly gripping their weapons in hand, power already beginning to gather within them.

"Going down!"

After saying this, the platform beneath their feet began to warp, then enveloped everyone, transforming into a bullet-shaped massive vehicle, starting to descend rapidly.

This bullet-like creation shot out a slender tail flame from its rear.

The resulting impact caused this strange vehicle to plummet downward even faster.

Meanwhile, inside, Kane had already used the Magic Chalice.

A massive cup-shaped object once again appeared above Kane's head, pouring down like a waterfall with blue liquid.

Feeling that the magic power had become immeasurable, Kane immediately entered Divine Power mode of the Radiant Balance.

"The power is here, stay stable."

As Kane's words fell, a vast amount of holy light magic power transformed into several streams, pouring into everyone's bodies present.

Only Kreya received an enhancement that was not holy light, but the most basic blue magic power radiance.

After all, when Kreya enters battle mode, her nature isn't too different from that of the undead.

Adding holy light to Kreya couldn't be called an enhancement; it could only be a curse.

"Good brother, when did you learn this trick?"

Longbei, now filled with Holy Light Energy, was turned into a little golden figure, radiating dazzling golden light.

At this moment, Longbei already felt his strength surging throughout his body, even his internal magic power received a certain boost.

Let alone that every attack of his would carry strong holy light damage, and when the enemy attacked him, they'd also suffer from the holy light's rebound.

This rebound might not be a big issue for normal life, but for the undead, it would be unpleasant.

"Stop talking, we're about to land!"

At this moment, the undead below already felt the immense pressure coming from above.

The dense holy light could be clearly felt even though there were hundreds of meters between them and the sky.

It was so repugnant to the undead.

"Something is coming down, watch out!"

The first to discover this, an undead immediately shouted loudly to the other nearby undead.

Alerting them.

All these undead felt the strong holy light reaction coming from above, instinctively beginning to retreat and dodge.

Although they didn't know why this was happening, the instinct etched in their souls led them to avoid this fatal attack.

However, before they could dodge far, they were immediately covered tightly inside a semi-transparent golden light shield.

The golden prison surrounded them completely, trapping them inside.

Having experienced this treatment before, Steel Bone and other undead couldn't help but feel delighted.

Haha, isn't it uncomfortable?

But beside them was not a golden prison, but a layer of a semi-transparent protective shield much like the light shield.

Moreover, it intentionally kept a certain distance from them to avoid the holy light harming them.

At the same time, the bullet-like vehicle landed on the ground, and in an instant, exploded and disappeared.

Only to see golden beams flash out from it, rushing towards the already set targets.

Following this, waves of holy light energy surged in like a tide, frantically filling every spot in the space.

Like seawater flowing backward.

In an instant, the dazzling light made it impossible for all undead to determine the current situation, and the holy light energy surrounding them even disrupted their souls.

Not to mention, extending their spirit outward for sensing.

These undead truly entered a blind state.

"Unexpectedly, Lord Kane is quite considerate."

The ghost looked at the protective shield around him, speaking fearfully amid the brilliant light.

That tide-like, backward rushing holy light energy nearly scared him to death, instinctively wanting to run out.

He almost thought Kane would wipe them all out in one go.

Luckily, those holy light energies were blocked outside as soon as they touched the protective shield.

Even being so close, just over a meter apart, it still didn't cause any pricking pain to his soul body.

Enduring it, he couldn't help but praise Kane's actions.

"What's the situation outside now? The inside is filled with holy light energy, I can't extend my perception or protection outward."

The zombie asked the several undead beside him.

Though he couldn't see the nearby other undead, he at least heard the ghost's voice just now.

"Don't know, just have to listen carefully."

Now the entire inside of the protective shield was filled with dazzling holy light, making it impossible to see while perception couldn't be extended outward either; only the sounds of combat and screams distinguished it occasionally.

These screams were mostly hoarse, unwilling, while revealing a familiar taste.

They should all belong to these undead, with Kane and his side gaining the upper hand.

It seems Kane and his team indeed have this strength to directly confront so many powerful undead all at once.

"By the way, haven't heard the sound of the Eye Demon... right, they can't even extend their soul perception now, let alone the soul threads."

"Hahaha, didn't think you'd have this day!"

The ghost's mocking voice was piercing around.

"Fool, although I lack vocal organs, I have sound magic."

The Eye Demon's voice suddenly rang out.
