Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Dark Night Elf, Coming to Support (2nd Update)

Europe.

Dark Ancient Castle.

The relentless bombardment of light had already leveled the nearby hills, leaving only the solitary ancient castle standing in their midst.

The protection of darkness that enveloped the castle, too, had become incredibly thin.

Yet, despite seeming ready to collapse, this protective force was exceptionally resilient, persisting under the barrage of fanatical devotees of light until now.

But by now, many were aware this was the limit.

...
If the assault continued at this pace, the protective force would break within a day at most.

The members of the Dark Council were, of course, even more cognizant of this.

Therefore, in this moment, everyone was gathered in the great hall, looking at Fan Mengxue wrapped in layers of black vines, their faces all etched with sorrow.

“My lords,” the Dark Witch Anastasia spoke softly.

All eyes turned to her.

“Mengxue has made her life a sacrifice to protect us, but as things stand now, this Dark Ancient Castle can no longer hold. If we just watch idly, there’s a strong likelihood that Mengxue will fall into the hands of that Angel of Light,”

As she spoke, Anastasia surveyed everyone present.

“Therefore, I propose! Starting now, we should all leave the castle and draw their fire outside to alleviate Mengxue’s burden.”

Upon hearing this, the Necromancer Karsath, the Titan Giant, and the Dark Night Elf all nodded without hesitation.

“I agree.”

“I also agree!”

“Moreover, if… one dies in battle outside, remember to sacrifice oneself at the last moment to protect this castle,” Anastasia said gravely.

They looked at each other upon hearing this and then all revealed a resigned smile.

“Understood!”

They were all aware that the chances of returning alive were extremely slim.

For their wounds had yet to heal, and even if healed, facing such formidable Power of Light, survival would be unlikely.

Nevertheless, not one person showed any sign of retreat.

It was as though what they faced was not death but rather a trivial matter.

After concluding their deliberation, everyone got ready and proceeded to the castle gate.

The Cigar Skeleton was still stationed there.

Now, however, his suit had also become tattered and filthy, the only constant being the cigar in his hand.

Seeing the group approach, the skeleton, who had been leaning against the wall in a cloud of smoke, extinguished the cigar in his hand and straightened up.

“My lords, are we preparing to take action?” he asked.

Karsath nodded and then said with a tinge of apology, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to bring back those skeletons for you.”

On hearing this, the Cigar Skeleton laughed with a wide grin, “I never expected you to revive them! Your skills are simply lackluster compared to the previous Necromancer.”

Karsath was somewhat embarrassed by the remark.

At that moment, Anastasia intervened, “Stay here and guard the castle, we will be back shortly.”

No sooner had she led the others away than the Cigar Skeleton chuckled and followed behind.

The Dark Night Elf frowned slightly and turned to look at him, “Didn’t the Witch say to stay here and guard?”

The Cigar Skeleton shook his head, “My lords, I actually know what you’re going out to do.”

“Meng Xue fell into slumber for the sake of the castle, and that ‘Light-spawn’ keeps pressing on relentlessly. Am I right to assume that you all wish to sacrifice yourselves to draw their fire?”

Anastasia sighed softly, “That’s right!”

“If that’s the case, then I am going with you.”

As he spoke, the Cigar Skeleton waved his hand, preventing Anastasia and the others from speaking, and then said indifferently, “All our brothers are gone, and it’s rather meaningless for me to guard such a castle alone. It’s better to have a good fight, even if I could teach that ‘Light-spawn’ a lesson, I’d consider my death worthwhile!”

Anastasia still wanted to dissuade him.

Karsath stopped her, and then gently shook his head, signaling her not to say anymore.

Because he knew very well the temperament of these skeleton lords, once they set their minds on something, they would definitely put in all their effort to achieve it.

They would never waver due to others’ persuasions.

At this moment, the Titan Giant slowly reopened the sealed gates of the ancient castle.

“Think carefully, once you step out of this door, there’s no turning back,” warned Meng Xue, unable to help herself.

The skeleton cackled strangely, “I’ve lived for thousands of years, seen everything, tried everything, but I’ve never tasted death. My brothers have already had their taste; naturally, I can’t fall behind!”

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent for a moment before Anastasia stepped forward.

“Let’s go! Time’s running out, we’ve got killing to do and roads to take.”

When the fanatical followers of light outside saw people emerging from the tightly sealed Dark Ancient Castle, they were first stunned, and then they crazily surged forward.

Facing so many fanatical followers of light, the members of the Dark Council showed not an ounce of fear. With a loud shout, they charged forward.

Wherever they went, they were like a black spear piercing through the sea of light.

But the number of these fanatical followers of light was simply too many.

Kill one, and instantly ten more would take its place.

In the blink of an eye, the members of the Dark Council were trapped in the middle.

They formed a circle, panting while they faced the fanatical followers of light.

“Damn it, do these lunatics not know fear at all?” Even the usually gentle Meng Xue couldn’t help but curse out loud.

“Haven’t you noticed the look in these people’s eyes? Hollow, dumbstruck, clearly they’ve been brainwashed by the Angels of Light—put simply, this is a group of cannon fodder meant to draw fire.” The Titan Giant said.

“It looks like none of us will get away today!” Karsath said with a rueful smile, then spoke to the Cigar Skeleton.

“Got any smokes left? Toss me one.”

The Cigar Skeleton reluctantly took out one and threw it over, “This is the last one, alright! I wanted to save it for when I was about to die.”

Karsath grinned, lit up the cigar, and had just taken a pleasurable puff.

The fanatical followers of light across from them charged as if they had received a command to assault.

Karsath cursed helplessly.

“Damn it, couldn’t you let me enjoy a few more puffs?”

No sooner had he spoken than the melee ensued.

The capabilities of these fanatical followers of light were not high, but what was terrifying was their sheer number and their fearlessness of death.

In an instant, the already injured members of the Council continually sustained new wounds.

“Gentlemen, I’ll be taking my leave first!” The Titan Giant said, then roared furiously and charged ahead.

Meng Xue cried out in alarm, “Titan!”

Just as the Titan was about to charge into the light, at that moment

Gigantic vines suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly lifting all of the surrounding followers of light into the air.

Then a voice came through, “Gentlemen, the Dark Night Elf is here to lend support!”
