Lars pulled himself up. The spiritual powers flowed inside him wildly and brought about a piercing pain. Cecilia's strength had exceeded the peak Saint realm, but the magical resistance in her equipment was still too low, after all. On the other hand, her attack was still incredibly strong and he had a hard time against her. Lars widened his eyes and gazed at the prairie and hills before him in astonishment. He was sure that this wasn't the ice-cold land.
'Damn it… Where exactly is this ridiculous place?!'
Lars dwindled this thought in his head. Even though he wasn't strong enough to access certain information, he knew only powerful Demigods and the special one had access to something like this. Maybe a power that could forcibly send them to another dimension? Completely cutting them off from the real world?
Lars hypothesized and the result caused him to shudder.
Right now, he felt a shiver go down his chilled back. Lars felt chills all over as even his very soul trembled at this moment.
However, despite feeling this chill Lars didn't let his rationality be affected, he was the leader of this expedition. Having acted smug before that man, failure wouldn't be an option thus he had to act as quickly as that.
"…!"
He hesitated no more. But, when he lifted his head to the surroundings, he heard a sharp, whistling sound. He turned toward the sound and spotted a spotlessly white meteor streaking across the sky, followed by a loud explosion.
Boom!
Maggie crashed into the middle of the Undead Army and sent a strong, matchless force across the sunken hill. The Abominations that the magic arrows couldn't defeat were instantly smashed like flattened balloons. The putrid stench filled with poisonous gas and liquid splattered. However, the golden halo around the little girl cleansed them before they could get into contact with her.
"Hehehe! Trying to escape? Let me see where you can run to!"
Maggie was oddly excited. She had neglected the fact that the Undead Army was attacking and wasn't retreating. At this moment, she yelled, extended her right fist, and punched the ground heavily!
"—!"
This powerful punch shook the city walls, which left the soldiers trembling in fear. Then, they looked down at the sunken hole and instantly spotted cracks under the bright moonlight. Not only that, but they also clearly witnessed the Undead Army shaking up and shattering into bits. Many of them plunged into the pitch-black fissure.
"Oh my goodness…"
The soldiers mumbled subconsciously. They had spent so much effort and could only cause some chaos in the Undead Army. But just a simple attack from Maggie completely shook up the thousands of Undead Creatures. The threat of this pure, powerful strength had left them frightened.
But this was only the start.
She lifted her head with a smile.
Golden-ish, divine flames erupted from the fissure. The blistering blaze overflowed mercilessly and engulfed the Undead Creatures altogether.
"Damn it!"
Lars's face couldn't turn any uglier.
He had unexpected that this remote Fortress would have so many powerful beings Who exactly was this little girl? How is it possible that she possesses such formidable and sacred powers? Is she from the Church? Does the other country have intentions of joining this battle?
Lars felt a chill down his spine.
Almost instinctively, he turned around to retreat. At the same time, two shimmering blade rays transformed into lightning bolts and struck at him. He raised his arms and emanated an ice-cold radiance with his shriveled palms. In the blink of an eye, a shield made up of white bones emerged before him.
Clang!
Lars witnessed two swords colliding on his bone shield. Then, a black-haired young man emerged out of the darkness casually and gazed silently at him. Even though this young human didn't speak a word, he knew that he was the young human's target.
'Good reactions'
Alex narrowed his eyes at the Necromancer. Everything had been planned by Madeline, Cecilia, Maggie, and him. After sensing that Lars was from the 'Sinister Death, he devised a strategy, for what to do with him. A group with Necromancers as their main force would usually make use of Undead Creatures to attract the enemies' attention while they released strategic spells from the rear. Alex definitely wouldn't allow his Fortress to receive such powerful damage. After all, not only were the undead spells formidable, but they were also like contaminating nuclear bombs. Even if the Holy Statue could withstand the attacks, it was imaginable how the environment of this land would be after they were stained with the aura of death. It would surely turn into a dead land.
This was why Alex had drawn up this plan. As soon as they detected that the Necromancers were preparing their strategic spell, Cecilia would instantly intervene and destroy it. With her current strength, there was nothing that she couldn't disrupt unless they were the techniques and magic spells from the four generals and Dark Dragon. After the strategic spell intervened, the Necromancers would suffer from the backlash while Madeline would trigger the [Under the Night Sky], her special domain to drag the entire Undead Army into this place. The reason why he had chosen to do this after the Necromancers had suffered from the backlash was so they wouldn't be able to hinder their later plans. As long as the whole Undead Army was dragged into the venue, Maggie could brazenly unleash her strength without anyone detecting her.
But there was still a limit, after all. Madeline used spiritual communications to remind Alex that [Under the Night Sky] could only be maintained for five minutes with her current strength. As soon as five minutes were up, this domain would lose its effects.
Five minutes—50,000 Undead Creatures.
Alex sprung back while fixing his eyes on the Necromancer before him. Even though the latter's robe was tattered and his miserable look made him look like he survived multiple bombings, he could still sense the rich aura of death exuding from him. It was apparent that this Necromancer was the commander of this Undead Army.
And he was also Alex's target.
"—!"
Lars gritted his teeth. He no longer cared for his troops anymore. He only wished to leave this place immediately to save his life. As for the next move—he would think about it later!
Lars raised his right index finger and his finger shattered into powder and burst out a rich, dense forest green smoke that aimed for Rhode. Rhode dodged swiftly and released shimmering flashes from his swords that sliced through the smoke. Then, he struck straight for Simon!
"Tsk!"
He flinched. Then, he spread his arms apart and chanted under his breath. Several bone spears emerged behind him and shot at the swords aiming for him.
At this moment, the situation took a sudden turn.
The two swords released a dazzling radiance as soon as they collided with the bone spears.
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the city walls were stunned.
Even though they should have also launched their attacks while coordinating with their overlord and others to eliminate the Undead Creatures, most of them stood and stared blankly with widened eyes at the middle of the vortex—and that little girl.
"Heyaaaah!"
Maggie swung out her fist and struck an Abomination in its stomach. Even though she wasn't even half as tall as it was and seemed like a kid confronting an adult, the Abomination instantly split into two from the middle. The massive creature that didn't receive any damage from the countless magic arrows was instantly ripped apart like a low-quality ham sausage. At the same time, another Abomination rushed over from behind her with deep growls. It brandished its gigantic hatchet across the night sky and struck out a string of sparks after colliding with a solid surface. Then, Maggie turned around and stomped her foot on its body, which sent it flying and crashing into the Death Knights that couldn't escape in time.
"Oh my goodness…"
Not only the soldiers, but even Alice and the others felt shivers down their spines. Even though they had received Maggie's guidance in the past, this was the first time that they witnessed her merciless attacks. At this moment, everyone finally understood how fortunate they were that they had survived up until this point without any injuries. If Maggie had shown such enthusiasm during the training sessions, perhaps they would have turned into corpses back then.
Magg6 extended her hand and struck another Death Knight before her into the air. After glancing at the mess around her, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad. Now, it's time to destroy the corpses. No matter what, I'm still a Cleric. Leave it to me!"
Maggie quickly expanded the light wings behind her and soared into the air. Then, in the blink of an eye, the light wings transformed into four silver lines that weaved into a complicated ritual, where Maggie floated above it in the middle and looked down at the Undead Army below her.
"I can never get enough of such superiority."
She shook her head and lamented. Then, she extended her arm and chanted.
