Pillar of Yita

Someone hesitantly asked on the communication channel what kind of spell that was.

Miss Priestess was the first to raise this question.

The screen’s glow illuminated Gita’s face as she blinked gently, her face flushing a little. Though the Captain had personally advised her, she was too shy to change it — the name was, um: ”Gi, Gita’s big, big bomb...”

”What...?”

Everyone exchanged glances in the darkness, wondering if there really was such a spell.

The young girl blushed; the Captain wasn’t great with names, but for some reason, she found the name quite alright.

However, setting aside this minor episode regarding names, Fang Hong had no awareness as the instigator — he merely opened his eyes again in the darkness, raised his hand, and the Wind Goggles slid off his eyes automatically.

He loosened the collar button, tossed aside the somewhat cumbersome cloak — there was no choice, Combat Artisans had no specific outfit, so they often went into close combat lightly equipped.

Fang Hong gently straightened his gloves, then patted Gita’s shoulder beside him and said to her: ”Follow me.”

The three Clockwork Fairies had already lost contact in the explosive gale, but at the last moment, he captured some information, the ’Fire Claw Swordsman’ made a successful strike underground in Fenris, and blew up the Ancient Monarch Hunter in one go.

Although it was a Level 20 BOSS, it was merely a phantom, and he used two ’Fire Claw Swordsmen’ at the time to achieve full success in one battle. However, this thing was much harder to produce than the ’Fire Giant,’ and since the trip to Fenris, he had only replenished one.

In short, the battle was not yet over.

One ’Fire Claw Swordsman’ should not have killed the ’Messenger.’

What he saw was the last scene where the ’Messenger’s’ passive Shield unfolded in the flames, and the Ghoul, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, lunged to protect its master in its embrace.

The flames reduced it to ash, but in the end, Fang Hong still saw the shine of the active Shield beneath it.

Then the Clockwork Fairy turned into parts in the storm.

However, the opponent should be feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Even as a Level 25 BOSS, such an impact should greatly weaken him, and up next was the final battle. Fang Hong slowly moved forward in the darkness, the air filled with the scent of gunpowder, dust scattered everywhere, turning the cave into a maze-like scene.

As he passed Luce, he gave him a pull.

But the person looked at him and Gita with an obvious bit of awe, probably truly believing he was a third-tier Adventurer.

Yet Fang Hong said nothing, and just continued moving forward. Through the spreading dust, about one or two minutes later, he heard heavy coughing coming from ahead, the lifting dust slowly parted to the sides, and behind it a black Light Shield seemed to appear intermittently, situated beneath a charred skeleton.

The gigantic Ghoul was still in the pose before it was burned, shielding its master, but its originally robust body now was only an empty skeleton.

The scorched flesh and internal organs, even eyeballs, were slowly detaching from the skeleton.

The Ghoul’s first barrier had officially been declared extinct.

And the pallid-faced ’Messenger’ was raising his head, coughing heavily, almost spitting blood, his eyes and hands filled with bloodshot veins, marks of backlash from the Undead Spells, evidently badly hurt.

The Skeleton Staff in his hand rattled, not knowing if it was because of extreme anger or extreme fear.

Two Energy Angels with a ghostly blue glow appeared behind Fang Hong.

This light shone on Fang Hong’s face, finally letting the ’Messenger’ see his appearance. Dolifen’s memory surged in his mind, vaguely familiar with this young man standing in front: ”You, you are...?”

But why would Fang Hong give him the chance to speak, he merely shouted softly: ”Attack!”

The Undead Wizard realized, and roared lowly.

The Black Swordsmen on the bridge behind tossed aside the extinguished torches in their hands, raised their swords high, and charged crazily in this direction. But Fang Hong raised his hand, the metal glove lightly clenched — at the moment the Black Swordsmen stepped onto the wooden bridge, the Ts-1 Stalker hidden below launched simultaneously.

Multiple Gravity Traps applied at once to the Undead Guards, and the wooden bridge collapsed with a bang, four Undead Guards all fell towards the deep gorge below.

The Imperial Guard Swordsman, Musketeer, and Archer long prepared in ambush there immediately launched a volley of attacks, rapidly joined by Miss Priestess’s spells, instantly tearing a Black Swordsman apart.

Theoretically, the Gravity Trap should last for two or three rounds, enough time for several people to deal with the Black Swordsmen thoroughly.

However, at precisely this moment, the ’Messenger’ suddenly drove his staff into the ground, causing Luce, who had received the command from Fang Hong to advance, to be firmly grabbed by a massive bone claw emerging from the earth.

Perhaps to rescue his companion, and seeing the Undead Wizard clearly at his wit’s end, the courageous Miss Priestess took bold action. With a crisp sound of prayer, a beam of light concentrated on her wand, she initiated the attack, launching a Light Arrow towards the ’Messenger.’

The Light Arrow Spell was the strongest attack spell for Milaila’s Clergymen below Level 20, especially for Undead and Dark Creatures. Yet this young lady was perhaps a bit too brave, completely forgetting the level difference between her and the adversary.
