“Are you really taking these people with you?”

Looking perplexed, Doris stared at the “Blood Servants” before her and muttered quietly:

“They’ve all been drugged by the Rat King, they’re so out of it they wouldn’t know how to fight back even if their lives depended on it.

They’re just burdens.

Plus, nobody in Transylvania would risk their lives for these already dead people.”

“That’s something we need to consider.”

Being kind hearted, Gooddove hated seeing people suffer.

Seeing this woman’s constant complaining, she cried out:

“You!

Quickly show us the way!

Or else we’ll execute you as an accomplice to that damned Rat King!”

“Ah, don’t shout!

Can’t I lead the way?”

Doris got up weakly, her voice filled with worry, she said,

“But the gargoyles there are really powerful, much stronger than anything we’ve seen before from the vampires.

Rumour has it that the Rat King brought them over from elsewhere, they’re combat models.

I’m afraid your crew won’t be able to handle it.”

“Hmph, we’ve already killed Salockdale.

Those mere gargoyles won’t be a threat to us.

Now hurry up and lead the way!”

Bull Bull, covering himself with his shield, said contemptuously.

At these words, Doris’s eyes narrowed.

She realised by now there must be chaos above ground, which was why the Rat King was hiding away in this hellhole.

But this is the best case scenario for her present condition!

It’s good news for her!

Heh, salvation is finally at hand!

“Bam”

The exquisite shield in Maxim’s hand was hit heavily once again.

The magic-infused surface of the shield was dented and clawed with marks.

The ferocious slap of power made this “monster” of strength feel as if his arm was about to snap.

The Ghoul Overlord in front of him roared and struck again.

Maxim didn’t dare to block again so he seized the opportunity to turn into a bat and perfectly dodge this strike.

Still, not hitting its target made the not-yet formed Ghoul Overlord even more furious.

It gathered energy and shot the bone spurs protruding from its shoulder in all directions, like bullets.

The force was tremendous, enough to crack open mountains.

Luckily, Natalie and Lionea are both nimble individuals.

They wouldn’t be hit by these straightforward attacks.

The mounted archer flew in the air to dodge while constantly shooting out scarlet arrows.

The Knights of the Blood Alliance made special piercing nails, all with spiritual energy attached.

When hitting the target, it would ignite the blood of the target making them suffer immensely.

However, those piercing nails that could pierce through steel armor were extremely difficult to inflict effective damage on the underworld skin of the Ghoul Overlord.

Only Lionea’s full-power Killing Arrows could pierce the body of the opponent.

Among the three of them, only the Great Oak Divine Blade could cause effective damage.

The purification psychic power carried by the Sacred Watch by default was a perfect counter to these evil spirits.

Every swipe would cause indescribable pain and damage to these monsters.

However, they were facing a Gold Stage death creature!

Even though it was still forming and was currently between silver and gold, the servant of the dead summoned by the power of death and the terrifying necrotic poison were not something that can be easily dealt with.

Maxim’s close combat moves had begun to falter, indicating that he was under enormous pressure.

After transforming into a bat to avoid the Ghoul Overlord’s frantic attack, Natalie immediately stepped forward to replace Maxim’s position.

“We need backup!”

While shooting out consecutive arrows to quickly eliminate the Ghoul minions resurrected by the tainted blood pond, Lionea shouted while priming her arrow again:

“The underworld aura of this thing is infecting us.

We need a large scale psychic cleansing to cut off its connection to the underworld.

Otherwise we can’t possibly win!”

“At this time!

Where do you expect me to find a purifier for you?

Elf, you are really talking nonsense.”

As Maxim coughed up a mouthful of dark blood and checked the information on the Calculating Pearl, he said,

“Lady Cui Si is on her way.

She’s bringing the materials for the spell.

Hold on…”

“Bam”

Before he could finish, Natalie was hit and sent flying like a cannonball.

She landed next to Maxim, face covered with dust.

Yet, she still held onto her Great Oak Divine Blade tightly.

With the two melee fighters driven back, the unstoppable Ghoul Overlord emitted an excited roar of war.

Lionea was soon chased around desperately under the constant drag of the soul-stealing roar.

But this silver-grade mounted archer indeed had real skills.

Even while being chased in close combat, she could still shoot continuously.

“You guys go!”

After wiping the blood from her mouth, Natalie, holding her holy blade, seemed to be preparing to cast a spell that sounded hardly possible.

Her cheeks were all throbbing with green runes.

Despite repressing the discomfort within her body, she whispered,

“The explosion of Natural Psychic Power carrying Divine Power will have an impact on you two as well.

Re-enter at least a minute later!”

“Can you make it?”

Maxim asked.

Natalie replied in a whisper,

“We have to try, whether we can make it or not.

This is also my first time using Divine Arts…

May the God of Avalon bless us tonight.”

“If the merciful God of Avalon really blessed us here, then we’re probably dead for sure.”

Lionea activated her secret hunter technique, a long-range blink, and jumped next to Maxim.

She pulled up the injured monster and rushed towards the cave exit.

She was decisive and did not doubt Natalie’s fighting resolve.

After all, she was a “Chosen” who could wield the Divine Blade.

She definitely won’t die carelessly here.

Well, probably not…

right?

But just at the final moment of Natalie’s Natural Divine incantation, a scarlet rift quietly opened in this tainted land.

Cui Si, carrying the wand of Petite Nocturne, and dragging along a case of casting materials, stepped out while humming a song.
