“Ding!”
“Alert: ‘Resentful Spirit Hongyi’ level has been raised to o-grade 8.
Vibrantly red blood congregates, purging impurities, absorbing the essence. Unnoticed, the resentful spirit, originally just having a bloodied edge to her dress, is now completely drenched in red, her entire soul body solidifying from its previous semi translucent state, so much like a real person… if it wasn’t for her inability to see her toes beneath her red dress, her ability to float mid-air and her somewhat translucent head.
Resentful Spirit Hongyi has mutated!
And learned the new skill ‘Bloody Robe’!
This is a high-level skill combining offense and defense. For defense, one can use the Bloody Robe as a shield, protecting against enemy energy attacks, especially the attacks such as fire and thunderbolt that can counter the soul body.
Even if the Bloody Robe is evaporated and faded, the Hongyi’s soul body wrapped in it will not be damaged.
For offense, the Bloody Robe can act as a spear, as a carrying extension. At this moment, Hongyi combines the ‘Tear’ skill with her Bloody Robe, manifesting a huge blood claw several meters long. The intertwined red and black signify a much stronger power than before.
Hongyi may not be able to invent skills, but she can mutate and awaken.
Through this mutation, even her wisdom significantly increased.
So where then, would be the opportunity for Rakshasa?
With the end of the battle, the first thing to do is to resurrect.
General Dead Bone lifts his hand, black smoke curling from his palm, drifting in all directions. Similar to summoning a soul, skeletons that have been downed and ghosts whose soul bodies have disappeared, leaving minor crystal remains, return in uniformity.
Otherwise, as Lord Shepherd, how could he let the Ghost Troops venture into the Monster Tide alone?
Mu Yuan has already snagged the help from the old steel Goblin. At this point, the Goblin’s presence in his territory has considerably thinned, but various monsters continue to emerge from the red fog and launch an assault on his territory.
The Monster Tide is evidently becoming more frequent.
Mu Yuan has found no respite to clear the monster corpses from outside and collect the spoils of war.
But this is not a bad thing as the spoils of war won’t grow legs and run away.
“The red fog is no longer as dense now and is showing signs of thinning out. Based on this, there may be only a few hours left until the trial ends.
“I should be safe now, during the just-occurred Goblin Monster Tide, there were quite a number of leaders, warriors, shamans, and all kinds of strange and powerful monsters.
Great Lord Shepherd does have some confidence.
After the increasingly enthusiastic monsters, the corners of his mouth slowly rise as he subtly sips his coffee.
Indeed, after one hour, two hours… Tianyuan Territory still stands firm like Mount Tai, standing at the top of the leaderboard, unshakeable.
Only minor changes have occurred in the top ten, with the Huan Chao Territory overtaking the Tianlei Territory to rise to third place.
“Not bad, keep it up until the end…”
Crack
Situated tens of meters behind the soil wall, the ground suddenly bulges upwards in sections, as if something underneath kept crashing against it. The ground cracks open where it bulges, with cracks spreading out one by one, until it finally can’t take it anymore and… a bang bursts open.
Among the flying dirt and stones and the broken holes in the ground, a snake-like creature emerges.
The revealed upper half of its body alone is seven to eight meters long, its belly bulging and its large head like a Venus flytrap. With a ‘wa’, it spits out objects covered in sticky mucus.
The object wriggles and swiftly gets up.
It’s the figure of monster after monster.
Humanoid monsters.
“Crypt Assassin (Common ★★*): o-grade 9” x9
“Man Niu Soldier (Rare *): 1-grade 3” x2
“Dark Night Stalker (Rare 1-grade 7” xi
Marked as special, the ‘Crypt Worm’, this appears to be a living transport vehicle.
At this point, more than one Crypt Worm appears. Elsewhere in view, the earth bulges up in four places, big worms emerge, and monsters appear one by one from the worms’ mouths.
They clearly came prepared and are nothing like the Goblins who sent blessings earlier.
Of the five Crypt Worms, three broke ground outside the soil wall, two directly broke into the territory’s interior, with the strongest being the Dark Night Stalker. Though covered in thick slime and moving gracefully, her figure is terrifyingly ghost-like.
Her eyes are as red as blood, but she seems to retain some measure of wisdom. She immediately struck a nearby Silver Slime with a dagger imbued with a gloomy aura, as if puncturing a giant bubble.
Next, she dashed past the side of an Imperial Guard, causing blood to spray from the slash of her blade.
Unstoppable, undeterred.
She was too fast and completely disregarded the code of chivalry.
Rumble—
The ground suddenly trembled as the Hurricane War Hawk spotted a larger wave of monsters approaching from the northwest. Once they emerged, the monsters were only one or two kilometers away from the territory.
How did the War Hawk miss them during its scouting mission? With a large numbers of monsters approaching from the outside and elite monsters wreaking havoc from within, the situation quickly became dangerous.
Mu Yuan:
He only wanted to maintain his ranking. Why was there another storm brewing?
General Dead Bone quickly ordered the Imperial Guards and Skeleton Warriors to intercept the Monsters, Man Niu Soldiers, and Crypt Assassins that had infiltrated the territory.
But they failed to stop the elusive Dark Night Stalker.
She appeared to understand the difficulty of dealing with Dead Bone, didn’t give him a chance to react, and charged straight towards the heart of the territory. Arrows and javelins from the Strong Shooters and Skeleton Warriors were easily dodged or swatted away by her.
Aside from the slime, she didn’t even have a speck of dust on her.
This was the strongest enemy that Tianyuan territory had faced since its establishment, overwhelmingly stronger than the previous ogres.
A late professional level powerhouse!
Her crimson eyes, as menacing as those of a snake, emitted a cold and murderous aura. She was staring at Grand Lord Mu Yuan, who was standing in front of the window on the third floor of the Mage Tower, and rapidly approaching him.
Swoosh—
Seventeen, atop the watchtower, drew his bow and quickly fired two tri-shots. The six feather arrows created a mesmerizing trail in the sky, resembling a chain of six sparkling stars. They tightly targeted the leather-clad stalker, constantly changing their paths.
The Dark Night Stalker’s face slightly changed upon realizing she couldn’t evade them.
She swung her blade, deflecting the relentless but relatively weak arrows one by one.
Then, she dashed forwards like a flicker, leaving behind a stream of afterimages.
The next moment,
Bang bang bang—!
One bone spear after another, like cannonballs, followed close behind her, leaving numerous pits in the ground. However, they still fell short by a whisker.
By this time, the Dark Night Stalker was no more than two or three hundred meters away from the Mage Tower.
It seemed like no one could stop her!
It was time for Lord Shepherd to make his move.
Mu Yuan held his breath and, through the lord’s vision, locked onto the speeding figure leaving behind traces of afterimages.
In a fleeting moment, he linked with the towers at all four corners and shot swift and accurate arrows.
He anticipated her, blocked her path, his arrows formed an enclosing net. However, the force of these arrows paled in comparison to the powered ones from Seventeen. They were insufficient against this speed-specialized Dark Night Stalker.
She was extremely fast.
But had she ever seen the speed of a lightning bolt?
“Lightning strike!”
Mu Yuan softly chanted.
As soon as Dead Bone and Seventeen began their assault on this enemy, he had the far-off Thunder Coil Tower start charging.
Blood of lightning sizzled and leapt upwards along the silver rail tracks, gathering at the tip of the tower and condensing into increasingly brilliant thunderous radiance.
It locked onto the figure leaving afterimages, but within the lord’s field of vision, and heavily struck.
A blue-purple luminescence formed a pillar that pierced the sky.
In the explosion of lightning, the Dark Night Stalker, with her dark skin and lithe figure, turned to ashes..
