Chapter 308: Glory of a Brave Warrior (2/2)
“When the darkness before dawn twisted and whirled, And the Evil Dragon’s forces gradually unfurled…
A world-destroying crisis, despair uncurled, be a flickering flame of hope in the verge of extinction;
Arise and fight, brave warrior!
Fight with courage, brave warrior!”
“Even when my body is drenched in blood, the light of the Holy Dawn will never fade…
The glory of a brave warrior remains forever!
Fight courageously, brave warrior!”
As they charged towards the Evil Dragon Abyss, Ayrin shouted at the top of his lungs.
At first, it was only him. But Rinloran and Stingham quickly joined in.
An imposing aura began emanating from the three youths as they sang in unison and charged forward!
……
“It’s the anthem of Holy Dawn? Where is this coming from, why is it so loud?”
Three arcane masters wearing the robes of the Office of Special Affairs stood beside the edge of the Abyss of Evil, surrounded by hundreds of zombies.
Although these three arcane masters managed to survive the terrifying taboo skill, they had consumed many of their arcane particles in the process. Combined with their consumption during the earlier fights, they were practically completely exhausted.
As a result, the three were currently relying on their physical abilities and close combat skills to ward of the incoming zombies.
Although these zombies created by Apocalypse were rotting and dripping with bluish yellow pus, they were in fact many times physically stronger than their living counterparts.
This was mainly because they didn’t feel pain. Even if a part of their body was pierced or broken, they would continue to attack without pause.
And the moment the three arcane masters received the slightest scratch which allowed the bluish yellow pus to infiltrate their bodies, they would immediately transform into a zombie.
“Which team of Holy Dawn is it?”
On the verge of exhaustion, the three arcane masters were barely holding on. But as they heard Holy Dawn’s anthem ringing through the air, they immediately became invigorated once more, their hands and feet regaining their vigor, sending any zombies which charged towards them flying backwards. To their pleasant surprise, the singing also attracted the attention of many of the zombies on the outside of the encirclement. As the sound of heavy slams and collisions rang out in the distance, the three arcane masters felt completely alive. Whoever this new arcane team was, they were like a spear piercing through.
But less than half a minute later, the eyes of these three arcane masters all widened to their limits.
“This?”
“It’s not a team of elites? It’s the team of students from the national tournament?!”
The ones sending zombies flying in the distance were not elites and teachers of Holy Dawn Academy whom they were familiar with, but three baby-faced students!
And even more shocking was their momentum going forwards. The three youths seemed to not know exhaustion. They quickly recognized Ayrin, who had become famous during the national tournament due to his fight against Rinsyi.
Maybe they were too loud, or maybe they just seemed to be too threatening, but before long, all the zombies surrounding the three arcane masters had changed targets.
“That… that is a Dark Queen Mermaid?”
“No way?”
“But those are definitely dark arts…”
“Why would it wear robes and follow their team?!”
Finally able to relax, the three arcane masters’ eyes scanned across Ayrin’s group. Upon seeing the Dark Queen Mermaid following behind Stingham, their eyes widened once more.
“So deep…So this is what the Abyss of Evil looks like!” Ayrin exclaimed as he looked around while continuing to knock down the zombies which approached him.
He closely observed the staircases which spiraled downwards into the dark purple smoke. There seemed to be a circular altar or platform of some sort which gave off feelings of individual arenas located at the end of every section.
The stairs themselves were purplish red and looked extremely oily. It was as if the aura of evil had seeped into the stone.
It was evident that there were many people fighting at the bottom within the smoke.
At this moment, Lotton’s voice abruptly rang in Ayrin’s ear, “I sense that the presence of Evil Dragon particles has abruptly increased. Stop tangling with these zombies! Charge down there with them!”
At the same time, pale white particles abruptly covered the heads of the three zombies before Ayrin. Three headless zombies fell to the ground.
“The presence of Evil Dragon particles has increased? Are the Evil Dragon Followers trying to awaken something?!”
“Rinloran! Stingham! Follow after me!” Ayrin shouted as he shot through the gap created by Lotton towards a nearby staircase.
“You zombies, come with us! As for you guys, hurry and leave!” Rinloran shouted, first towards the zombies and then towards the Office of Special Affairs arcane masters who had exhausted their arcane particles.
The three arcane masters sucked in deep breaths of air and then began fleeing as Ayrin and the others began quickly descending the dark purple stairs towards the depths of the abyss. The zombies streamed after them like an unstoppable flood, with several falling into the abyss because there were simply too many of them to fit on the staircase.
“Come with me!” Lotton said as he suddenly emerged from a cluster of pale white light before Ayrin.
