443 Start of Battle (2/2)

The gamers attacked according to Sherlock's order. Arthur was in the crowd charging forward.

The strength of the Skeleton Soldiers was about the same level as the Skeleton Soldiers in the Instance Dungeon. However, the number was overwhelming, and there were no safety measures. In the Instance Dungeon, the Skeleton Soldiers could only attack if there was proximity. Now, they attacked at will.

The gamers were no longer the combatants in the Instance Dungeon. Without restrictions, gamers could use all sorts of weapons.

Like Ballistas and Magic Cannons.

The combat in the game was ultra-realistic. The gamers couldn't feel exhaustion, but if they were exhausted, they wouldn't be able to move their hands or feet.

Arthur was very familiar with the combat system and knew how to conserve his strength.

When the gamers charged, the Skeleton Soldiers also charged at the gamers.

An Orc Skeleton charged at Arthur, and Arthur lifted his Shield to deflect the Axe of the Orc Skeleton.

Another Orc smashed his Hammer on the Orc Skeleton, and the Skeleton frame disintegrated.

Arthur didn't advance forward. Instead, he braced his Shield and followed the surrounding gamers tightly. The Guild members of the Pioneer Alliance surrounded Arthur. The other big Guilds were using the same tactics. Only a few inexperienced individual gamers were charging around.

The group battle in the game was like a war, so the gamers had to fight like soldiers. Only if they made use of group cooperation would they have the best combat power.

Most of the Guilds realized the importance of this tactic and made use of the Guild structure to apply it.

The lines held by the gamers were continuously challenged by the Skeleton army. Using the proximity of the Revival Point, the lines of the gamers remained intact, and they advanced steadily.

Occasionally, the Magic Cannons fired a volley and vaporized a huge portion of the Skeleton army.

Sherlock wasn't in a hurry to engage in combat. He was directing the war effort. When a small portion of the Skeleton Soldiers broke through the lines, Sherlock would finish them off.

Professor Cabbage observed the battle clearly in her crystal ball.

Within a short time, the warriors of Eternal Kingdom were unable to enter Specter College. Professor Cabbage's plan was to drown them in the sea of Skeletons. But now, she was unable to achieve her goal.

Professor Cabbage was indifferent. As long as she could stop them from entering Specter College, she could finish the revival of Frangipani. The process couldn't be interrupted!

A few Lich students whose eye sockets were lit with gray flames stood before Professor Cabbage. They were outstanding students.

”Go and assist those Skeleton Soldiers and kill the warriors of Eternal Kingdom!” Professor Cabbage ordered them.

Those students nodded like robots. It seemed as though they were being controlled. They then turned and left.

Professor Cabbage held her crystal ball and walked towards the depths of the college.

At the Central Courtyard of Specter College, lines of students stood in the middle, and a huge box made of bones was placed there.

Those bones had quivering flesh stuck to them. Below the box was a large Mana Formation that covered the entirety of Specter College.

With every flash of the Mana Formation, the Mana of the Lich students would be leeched to the ugly and grotesque monster.

All the Lich students were Mana sources for reviving Frangipani, and the huge Mana Formation was the leeching tool.

”The great Frangipani!”

Cabbage walked towards the ugly box. She lifted both of her hands and said excitedly, ”The time has come! I'm about to release you!”

When the Mana Formation shimmered, even a portion of Cabbage's Mana was leeched. However, Cabbage was indifferent.

She looked at the crystal ball. The warriors of Eternal Kingdom were still fighting, and Sherlock was directing them in the middle. Those fools would have a taste of Frangipani's rage. They had to interrupt the revival process at such a critical moment, but it was too late!

”I see.” a voice came from above her head as Cabbage walked excitedly towards the ugly box.

Cabbage lifted her head in shock and saw Sherlock flapping his healed bat wings while flying in the air.

”I was expecting a more powerful primordial Mana Formation, but it turned out like this. For thousands of years, the students of Specter College have been used as batteries?” Sherlock asked as he hugged his arms and floated in the air.

Cabbage examined her crystal ball in disbelief. Was Sherlock not in the crystal ball?

”Stop looking. I told you about Polio, who escaped from Bankazia. Have you heard of Polio, who was one of the 72 Devils? He doesn't have a physical body and can transform into any creature,” Sherlock said with a smile.
