CH 187

The term "Yimo" is a general term for abyssal monsters. The Abyssal Demon and the Black Serpent that Rode had killed both belong to this category.

But he had only killed seven in total, all of which were Yimo that had escaped and hidden in the underground after the cracks were shattered.

And now, he saw hundreds and thousands of Yimo.

The battle instantly entered its most intense state. Jon flew into the sky, transforming into a burning sun, and the powerful firepower illuminated the entire city of Laisuo.

Green Feather transformed into a long fire dragon, galloping among the group of monsters.

The five guardians stood at the forefront, while the skilled senior knights and oath knights fought alongside them.

The battle priests gave up the light and raised weapons that condensed pure white light, also entering the midst of the monster group.

Rode continuously used various strengthening and healing spells.

He clearly felt his instincts fading, and a significant characteristic was the rapid increase in the consumption of spiritual energy. After casting a round of spells, he had to use "Awakening".

This was already the third time he had used "Awakening". Rode no longer thought about the aftereffects and fought with all his might until the end, which was the most important thing now.

The only regret was that the Grand Chancellor did not use any large-scale destructive spells, so he didn't obtain many souls.

However, from the journey from the old city of Baila, the overall gains were still quite substantial.

These distractions flashed through Rode's mind, which was also evidence of his fading instincts.

Previously, as long as he didn't deliberately think about it, these thoughts wouldn't appear in his mind. Everything was done according to the Grand Chancellor's instincts.

There was no doubt that the Grand Chancellor's time was running out. At least before he disappeared, they had to recapture Laisuo City, right?

Rode pondered and used "Awakening" for the fourth time.

The consumption of spiritual energy in the spells was getting faster. Rode quickly discovered that it was not only due to the fading instincts, but his robe and staff were also showing signs of disintegration.

These were the spiritual equipment of Lord Theodore, providing most of the spiritual energy required for spells. Rode only contributed a small amount of power to activate them.

Without replenishment after prolonged use, they were starting to struggle.

And the battle seemed to have no end in sight. Even though this elite combat group, which could almost be called the strongest, had completely cleared the city of dark monsters, more and more abyssal creatures were pouring in from outside the city, almost without end.

At this point, they could no longer retreat. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be in vain, and it would be difficult to recapture Laisuo City.

Just then, another wave of darkness arrived.

During the continuous darkness, monsters surged from the depths of darkness like tides, and each wave posed a great challenge to human defense.

The main force of this wave of darkness was the corrupted snake people from Siglais.

Their ranks were not high, but their numbers were extremely large, covering the sky and earth, almost endless.

The battle lasted for an hour, but instead of decreasing, the number of monsters increased.

Everyone's spiritual energy consumption was enormous, and the elite combat group had to temporarily shrink their front line and switch to a defensive stance.

Jon was forced to return to the ground from his state as a fireball.

Green Feather took over and became the new fireball, maintaining the existence of fire.

As possessors of the "Eternal Flame" attribute, they were naturally the core of the team, and transforming into fire was their ability.

The First Defense Commander, Lilyve, deliberately formed a dual core to ensure victory.

But now, the situation was not particularly good.

Jon said in a deep voice, "The abyssal crack containing the Great Serpent is nearby. Our battle has once again alarmed the crack, connecting the abyss and releasing the monsters from within."

Guardian Lilyve nodded and said, "Jon is right. The main threat now is the Yimo. Without the Yimo, even if there are more snake people, they won't pose a threat."

"But how do we find the abyssal crack?" asked a senior knight.

"Even if we find it, it's not enough. We must clear out the monsters," said a battle priest. "At least we need to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, otherwise, we won't be able to enter the abyssal crack."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, silently replenishing their spiritual energy by consuming soul red crystals.

Rode also consumed a few, but the recovery effect was negligible for him, who did not belong to the Firebearer.

Suddenly, an oath knight holding a long spear said, "The Yimo are blessed with dark spiritual light. There must be a child of the devil nearby. If we can kill it, the pressure will be greatly reduced."

Jon calmly said, "The problem is, where is the child of the devil?"

The oath knight with the long spear said, "I might have a way to find it. I once learned a special method of tracking from the old Sword Saint."

Jon frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of it? These masters should have long been under the jurisdiction of the royal city system. The king keeping them has no benefits."

"How do we use it?" Guardian Lilyve bypassed Jon's words and asked directly.

"I just need to go out and fight."

"Is that all?"

The oath knight with the long spear calmly replied, "Then I will be killed, and my blood will point to the location of all the killers."

Everyone was shocked, and Lilyve exclaimed, "How can this be?"

Jon's face darkened.

"Is there another way?" Rode asked.

"Maybe, but I don't know."

"What should we do?" Lilyve looked at Jon.

After a moment of silence, Jon asked, "What are the chances of success?"

The oath knight with the long spear shook his head. "I don't know. I've never used it before."

"In that case, let's not use it. I have already sent a request for reinforcements to the highest military headquarters. When the new reinforcements arrive, everything will be fine.""Alright." The Oath Spear Knight responded briefly.

Rode couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you wanted to be more ruthless than the monsters?"

Jon glanced at him expressionlessly, "But that doesn't mean I would waste our combat power. Worthless sacrifices are meaningless. That's foolish."

He rose into the sky, once again becoming the burning sun, replacing Green Feather.

Rode, for the sixth time, used the "Awakening", once again launching a wide-range enhancement spell.

More snake people mixed with alien demons surged forward, and the second round of fierce battle began.

Soon, the first casualty appeared. It was the Oath Spear Knight. He had ventured too deep and was pierced through the heart by an alien demon. Decay and infection spread, twisting his body.

He was dead.

But his black blood soared into the sky, flying towards the distant killer.

No one spoke. The battle group silently and quickly formed a hunting squad, tracking in the direction of the blood.

There were only three people in the squad: the Guardian Lilyve, the Senior Knight Soren, and Rode.

Rode didn't understand why he was included at first, but after instinctively using group invisibility, he understood.

Without a spell master, they could never cross so many monsters to assassinate the boss-level monster.

At this time, the outside of Laiso City was completely covered with alien demons and snake people. From their mid-air position, they couldn't see the end.

The blood meandered in mid-air, flying more than a thousand yards before falling down, hitting a short alien demon.

Rode immediately noticed its difference. There was a faint dark ripple on the soul wave of this alien demon, and the fluctuation was extremely strange.

It suddenly raised its head, as if it saw the invisible three, and then plunged into the monster group.

"Trying to run!"

Lilyve shouted, raising her hands high, a huge rotating fireball appeared in her hands.

"Chaos Fireball! I want it seventy percent cooked."

She fiercely threw the fireball down.

Boom!

The firelight drowned the darkness.
