Chapter 719: Ambush (III)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Undead Creatures didn’t expect to be ambushed by their enemies.

They were stunned after realizing that Rhode leaped up from behind the boulder. However, their reactions were quick. In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Cavalrymen got into position while the Ghouls let out sharp, menacing screeches and extended their razor-sharp claws.

Rhode was mentally prepared. His movement speed had greatly increased after transcending into the Legendary Stage. He dodged the oncoming enemies and led a trail of afterimages over their incomplete defense. The holy white word in his hand emanated a dazzling radiance as he brandished.

At this moment, the Death Knight let out an outburst of anger. He drew and swung his long sword.

Clang!

The crisp collision of steel rang in their ears. The silver-whitish holy flames erupted from Rhode’s blade and instantly engulfed the Death Knight. The skeleton warhorse under him let out a sorrowful neigh before shattering into bits as though a discounted artistic piece breaking into pieces. The Death Knight above the warhorse rolled away desperately using the impact from Rhode’s attack.

Hahaha. How does it feel?

If Rhode wasn’t used to putting up an expressionless face, he would have burst into laughter. The Death Knight’s powerful defense was extraordinary among the Undead Creatures. However, it became so fragile after being weakened by the enchanted field and burned by the holy flames. Rhode felt that his blade slash was as though slicing through butter.

That was a satisfying sense of revenge. In the game, it was always the Undead Creatures who used their enchanted fields to weaken the players before swarming forward. The tides had turned now and it was finally his turn to enjoy the results!

This thought flashed in his head for only an instant. The moment he landed on the ground, he darted forward with his shimmering blade and the Death Knight frantically laid his sword before him to negate his attack.

The Skeleton Cavalrymen and Ghouls turned around hurriedly and pounced on Rhode. But at this moment, they heard a crisp voice.

“Finty Nue Maira!”

An enormous fireball whizzed across the sky, landed among the Skeleton Cavalrymen, and exploded into air streams that engulfed them entirely. Marlene stared at the enemies sternly while Lize stood beside her with her arms raised and magical runes flickered above her palms.

A translucent, golden barrier emerged as soon as the fireball exploded as though a wall protecting the young ladies. Not only did the wall resist the storm and flames, but it also stopped the Ghouls pouncing on them. The shriveled, pitch-black, and putrid creatures revealed their razor-sharp claws, but crashed into the barrier. However, they didn’t give up. They rolled on the snowfield and stood back up…

Scarlet waves of flame devoured everything.

Gillian sat on a boulder with a wide smile. She extended her right, dewy index finger and lit up a tiny flame. Then, she threw it forward.

A wall of scorching flame extended to form a solid wall that blocked the Undead Creatures from advancing. In the blink of an eye, the Undead Creatures were stopped completely. The Skeleton Cavalrymen and Ghouls were unfortunate as they weren’t especially powerful creatures, to begin with. The Skeleton Cavalrymen were quick in their movement and nimbleness while the Ghouls were protected with strong skin and had razor-sharp claws and poisonous fangs. It would have been through for Rhode’s team if it was a face-to-face battle. However, Rhode had had countless experiences in eliminating thousands of Undead Creatures, so how was it possible for them to fail? Moreover, with the restriction of space and effects of the enchanted field, the Skeleton Cavalrymen and Ghouls weren’t even worth a mention. Most of them were instantly dead under Marlene’s fireball attack and Gillian’s wave of flames.

On the other side, Rhode struck off the weakened Death Knight in a couple of slashes. He didn’t want to drag this on anymore. He brandished his blade, but this time, he targeted the Lich behind the Death Knight.
