Heavy clanks were audible, coming from the sturdy walls. Four arc-shaped doors suddenly opened, and Underworld Warriors in dark armor came out of them. They were covered in full armor without revealing the slightest hint of skin. The sound produced by their heavy boots was in perfect order as they marched forward.
The Underworld Warriors soon noticed the presence of the intruders. They immediately uttered deep groans.
The Underworld Warriors were holding long hatchets and axes, and started swinging their weapons around without caring about the Underworld Executioners. Wind blades danced wildly in the pool. The vulnerable Underworld Executioners were immediately cut in half when they touched the wind blades, their blood spraying across the place!
The skinny Underworld Executioners fled for their lives, as they did not stand a chance against the wind blades. Meanwhile, the Underworld Warriors were flanking Mo Fan and his crew from all directions. The defense that Zhao Manyan and Meos had set up was shaking already, on the verge of collapsing!
”Damn it, why are there so many Underworld Warriors!?” Zhao Manyan was astounded when he saw that his sturdy defense could not even last for a few minutes.
”These Underworld Warriors are surprisingly strong...” Mo Fan was startled too.
He initially thought the Underworld Warriors were as lowly as the Underworld Executioners, yet they turned out to be so ferocious. They had almost died to the first wave of attacks!...
”As expected of the Great Pyramid of Giza, even the lowest-level Underworld Warriors are so strong!” Shreev exclaimed.
The Underworld Warriors of the Pyramids he had been to did not really pose any threat to him, apart from their insane numbers.
”More are coming!” Heidi heard more synchronized footsteps approaching from the walls.
”How many of them?” Mu Bai asked.
”At least three times their current numbers,” Heidi deduced.
”Three times… doesn't that mean we are dead for sure!?” Zhao Manyan yelled.
”Damn it, why do I have to come to this shitty place with you guys?” Sayed cried out in pain after a wind blade cut his arm.
”We have to choose a door and clear a path. We can't stay here, or they are going to surround us!” Shreev said.
”Which way!?”
”Who cares, they should all lead us to the higher levels!”
They were going to be sliced into pieces by the wind blades if they held their positions. Heidi suddenly appeared close to a troop of Underworld Warriors with Meos' help. She quickly cast a Chaotic Vortex. It absorbed the evil energy and used it against the wind blades.
”Reverse!”
Heidi spun the vortex in the opposite direction. It began to move counter-clockwise. After some time, the Chaotic Vortex turned the wind blades into even longer wind blades!
”This way!” Mo Fan quickly Channeled the Star Constellation of the Summoning Element when he saw Heidi had managed to clear a path.
”Summoning Gate: Beast Tide!”
More than a hundred wolves poured out of the Summoning Gate. They sprang forward like a ferocious tide, trampling on the Underworld Warriors.
”Keep going! More are coming from behind!” Mu Bai blurted out.
The Beast Tide continued to clear the path ahead. The wolves were unstoppable, and even the Underworld Warriors had no chance of stopping them, despite their numbers. Bones went flying across the place. Their wind blades could not hit anyone since the Underworld Warriors were unable to focus on their enemy.
”Frosty Howl!”
Ice crystals drifted around Mu Bai and gradually formed a frosty tornado. It spread further away at Mu Bai's command and swallowed the Underworld Warriors that were approaching them, immediately dealing with the threats nearby.
