"Lightning Strike"
Boom—
The Gray Robe Magic Caster raised his finger, aiming forward as blue electric light coalesced, transforming into a straight, piercing lightning bolt that tore through layers of Undead in front.
"Defense Enchantment!"
A Paladin's pupils constricted as he roared loudly, holy light shimmering on his armor.
"Crack!"
The Lightning Strike hit the Paladin's chest armor, shattering the faint protective light.
It easily pierced through the silver-white armor, passing through his chest and continuing towards another Paladin behind him.
"Pfft!"
The Paladin's body was affected by the lightning, his entire body paralyzed and stiff. A charred hole was clearly imprinted on his chest, and large mouthfuls of bloody foam spilled from his silver helmet as he fell to the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness.
In the blink of an eye!
A Third Tier "Lightning Strike" easily killed two Paladins.
The atmosphere in the arena changed drastically!
The terrifying and oppressive feeling brought by a "Hero Domain" level Magic Caster washed over them.
Third Tier Magic was not considered high-level, but it was still a realm that most Magic Casters without true talent could only reach with all their effort.
The power of different Magic varied depending on the caster.
Therefore.
Even low-level Magic, when cast by some powerful Magic Casters, could display even more terrifying power and effects!
In the end, it all came down to the "Magic Attack" stat. In the Different World, perhaps the caster's research into Magic would also add to the power.
"Gerald!"
"Leota!"
The deaths of two companions caused the other Paladins who knew them to shout in anger.
On the opposite side.
"Hey, you just killed more than a dozen Undead with one shot."
The Black Knight reminded him.
"What does it matter?"
The Gray Robe Magic Caster chuckled hoarsely, not caring at all, "They're just a bunch of low-level Undead anyway."
"Oh, your opponent is coming."
Bang—Bang—
A silver-white figure, like a fierce beast charging into a flock of sheep, easily slaughtered and crushed the large number of Undead blocking the way.
"You damn bastards!"
Remedios sprinted, turning into a white stream of light, quickly traversing through the Undead, approaching the two.
"Sky Slash!"
"Good—Force Strike!" The Black Knight's eyes revealed excitement, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracking as his body disappeared into thin air.
In the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by a powerful collision.
Remedios and the Black Knight transformed into two figures, one white and one black, rapidly clashing together.
Swish—Swish—
"Triple Shot!"
"Black" Pabel pulled the bowstring, the exquisite longbow shimmering with Mana, as arrows transformed into straight lines, shooting towards the Gray Robe Magic Caster.
"Swarm!"
The Gray Magic Caster calmly waved his Magic Staff.
A dense swarm of thumb-sized insects, like a dark cloud, appeared out of thin air around him, forming a shield of insects that blocked the three incoming arrows.
Moreover, these swarms did not dissipate, but continued to surround the Gray Robe Magic Caster, forming a force similar to defensive Magic.
"Fireball!" The Gray Robe Magic Caster waved his Magic Staff again.
Crimson firelight condensed, and a head-sized, oval Fireball burning with rolling flames shot towards "Black" Pabel.
"Exploding Arrow!"
"Black" Pabel's frighteningly sharp eyes radiated coldness. Although the Fireball's speed was extremely fast, it was far inferior to the speed of Lightning Strike.
Under his hawk-like vision.
"Black" Pabel easily locked onto the Fireball's trajectory and shot the arrow in his hand.
He absolutely couldn't let the Fireball fall into the crowd; once it exploded, it would cause widespread casualties.
Whoosh—Boom!
The Fireball exploded in mid-air, creating a heatwave that instead blasted away some of the Undead that were close by, even engulfing and turning them to ashes.
"Not an ordinary archer."
"Troublesome fellow."
The Gray Robe Magic Caster's sallow eyes flickered, his somewhat cloudy gaze immediately noticing something.
Behold!
In the chaotic flow of people, there were three figures rapidly approaching his location.
"Red" Orland, Go Gin, and Clementine!
The Undead blocking their path were just like the previous Paladin Order Leader, unable to hinder them at all.
Especially Clementine, draped in Black Robes with a slender figure, her speed far surpassed the other two, exuding a sense of danger that made the Gray Robe Magic Caster's hair stand on end.
However—
The Gray Robe Magic Caster visibly paused for a moment when he saw the somewhat crazed smile on Clementine's face.
"There's such an arrangement?"
The Gray Robe Magic Caster muttered to himself, "Fifth Tier Undead Summoning—Armored Skeleton Warrior!"
A blue Magic array appeared beneath his feet.
Undead with coarser, harder bones and bodies covered in armor emerged from the Magic array.
Under the Gray Robe Magic Caster's command, they immediately engaged Clementine in battle.
"I'm increasingly unable to understand the Alliance Leader's thoughts."
Seeing Clementine fighting evenly with the Armored Skeleton Warrior, a glint flashed in the Gray Robe Magic Caster's eyes.
The ground trembled closer and closer.
Go Gin and "Red" Orland had already arrived nearby.
"Take care of this Magic Caster first!" Go Gin shouted loudly.
"Alright!"
"Red" Orland grinned hideously, holding a weapon in each hand, lowering his body, and accelerating his speed once more.
Seeing the alliance of humans and Demi-humans.
"Tsk tsk, I am truly moved by your spirit, but alas, your opponent is not me."
The Gray Robe Magic Caster sneered.
Bang—Bang—Bang!
A tall Black Knight, about 2.3 meters in height, holding a Black curved longsword in one hand and a Black Tower Shield in the other, ran forward from behind with large strides.
Each step caused the ground to shake!
A cold aura surged, merging into the battlefield, causing the hot temperature to drop several degrees at once, even seemingly dispelling some of the rotting smell permeating the air.
In the helmet with demonic horns, a pair of scarlet eyes on the rotten face flickered constantly.
The thick malice and hatred for the living caused a chilling sense of Terror to rise in the hearts of all the humans on the battlefield.
"Death Knight!!"
A voice filled with astonishment and Terror rang out on the battlefield.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the terrifying figure rushing forward, the rich negative attribute aura and the deterrence brought by the high level.
Causing some Paladins and Shrine Priests with weaker minds to feel cold in their hands and feet, their bodies becoming stiff.
"Aroar—"
The Death Knight roared, activating its special ability.
「Taunt」!
Go Gin and the "Red" Orland, who were originally rushing towards the Gray Robe Magic Caster, uncontrollably bypassed the Gray Robe Magic Caster and charged towards the Death Knight behind.
"Hehe ha, Flight."
The Gray Robe Magic Caster's body floated into the air, vacating the area.
Go Gin and "Red" Orland's faces were unsightly, completely unable to control their bodies, and they faced the oncoming Death Knight head-on.
Bang!
The Black Tower Shield slammed head-on, and Go Gin was knocked back several steps.
"Roar!"
The Death Knight let out a hoarse sound from its rotten throat, and while knocking Go Gin back, it once again swung the Tower Shield towards the "Red" Orland on the side.
"Fortress!"
"Red" Orland quickly activated Martial Arts to block.
Buzz—
The Dual Swords collided with the Tower Shield, barely deflecting the force. Before "Red" Orland could retreat, a streak of Black cold hair appeared before his eyes.
The Black curved longsword in the Death Knight's hand flowed with a dense Black negative energy, descending with the swing of its arm.
At this moment!
Both of "Red" Orland's weapons were already occupied with withstanding the impact of the Tower Shield, leaving no time to withdraw his arms for defense.
He could only watch helplessly as the blade was about to strike his head!
In "Red" Orland's mind, memories of the first half of his life even surfaced.
Could it be that I'm going to die so simply?
However, to die on the battlefield, especially at the hands of a legendary Undead, might not be so bad.
Just as this thought emerged in his heart.
Whoosh!
A rapid sound of air being torn apart came from behind, and an arrow accurately struck the Death Knight's sword-wielding shoulder, causing an explosion.
The force of the impact spread.
The Death Knight was not knocked back, but the previous strike missed its mark.
"Red" Orland hurriedly retreated, feeling a sense of horror after surviving a disaster, and turned his head to look in the direction behind him: "Thanks, Pabel."
"I'm here to assist you!" Pabel responded loudly.
"Roar!"
The Death Knight roared angrily, the vibrating sound waves dispersing the smoke and dust.
Go Gin, "Red" Orland, and "Black" Pabel jointly launched an attack on the Undead Death Knight.
Even so!
The three of them were still unable to inflict effective damage on the Death Knight, and instead were pushed back steadily by the Death Knight.
At this moment.
The situation on the entire battlefield also began to become increasingly chaotic.
Not only was there the Death Knight, but also accompanying the Death Knight were eight burly and strong Demi-human Race.
Among them, two were actually Water Element Ogre and Earth Element Ogre!
In addition to these two Demi-humans, there were also Sword Armor Bug, Stone Eating Ape, Beast-bodied Quadruped, Winged Demi-human, and other strong individuals of various sizes.
These Demi-humans were rotten all over, their eyes were dull, and they were clearly Undead, but they all displayed powerful strength and abilities far exceeding low-level Undead.
"Everyone be careful!"
"These are the zombie followers created by the Death Knight, you must not be killed by them!"
Quartet used Magic amplification to spread her voice throughout the entire battlefield in a tone of seriousness she had never used before.
The zombie followers created by the power of the Death Knight had a difficulty level reaching the "51~54" range.
Their levels were around 17 to 18, possessing half the level of the Death Knight. Unlike ordinary infected zombies, the number of these zombie followers was limited, and the Death Knight could not create too many.
This force put tremendous pressure on the Paladin side.
Vice Captains "Peach" Isadro and Gustavo stood at the forefront, reducing the pressure on the entire Paladin Order.
In the center of the circular defensive formation formed by the Paladin Order members, a group of Shrine Priests continuously released attack Magic or buff Magic.
"Emerald, go assist those two vice captains." Team Leader Tang said to the Emerald Witch, who was standing beside him on guard.
"Yes."
The Emerald Witch quickly stepped forward and left.
"Team Leader Tang!"
Captain Nigun's voice rang out, "Please summon Surveillance Authority Angel again, I can also summon one."
"Then deploy an attack-type Peace Authority Angel to assist!"
Tang Zheng responded with a serious expression: "No problem."
[Fourth Tier Angel Summoning・Surveillance Authority Angel]!
[Fourth Tier Angel Summoning・Surveillance Authority Angel]!
[Fourth Tier Angel Summoning・Peace Authority Angel]!
A dazzling Holy Light converged.
Three Fourth Tier Angels appeared in the field, two Surveillance Authority Angels positioned themselves above everyone's heads, casting defense-enhancing Magic on everyone.
Just like the name "Surveillance" suggests.
Surveillance Authority Angel had the special ability to enhance the defensive capabilities of all allies within its field of vision. With so many humans present, it would take at least two to strengthen everyone.
Tang Zheng manipulated another Peace Authority Angel, taking the lead in flying into the air.
"All of you assist Team Leader Tang!" Captain Nigun shouted.
"[Third Tier Angel Summoning · Flame Archangel]!"
"[Third Tier Angel Summoning · Flame Archangel]!"
"[...]"!
The Sunlight Scripture troops no longer concealed their strength, and everyone uniformly summoned Flame Archangels wielding Flame Swords.
Led by the Peace Authority Angel summoned by Tang Zheng, a group of Flame Archangels soared into the sky and charged towards the Gray Robe Magic Caster.
The Shrine Priest Order led by Quartet all revealed astonished expressions, clearly feeling incredulous at the Sunlight Scripture's ability to summon Third Tier Flame Archangels.
"An 80-man Third Tier Faith-Based Magic Caster troop."
Quartet's pupils shrank, but she quickly suppressed the rising shock, knowing that now was not the time to dwell on this.
The chaotic situation.
Gradually began to be controlled by Tang Zheng and others.
Only the Death Knight, relying on its high level 40 defense and the tireless nature of the Undead, completely suppressed Go Gin and others.
"Still not using their trump cards?"
Seeing that the Death Knight had clearly appeared, neither Captain Nigun nor Quartet showed any intention of using their trump cards.
Tang Zheng couldn't help but frown, what were these two waiting for?
Guarding against the Zuranon Alliance Leader?
Now, as long as the Death Knight is dealt with, all the Undead spawned by the Death Knight will perish or turn into low-level ordinary zombies and animated corpses without self-awareness.
"No matter what situation they face, humans always have various thoughts."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, while manipulating the Peace Authority Angel to attack, he observed the entire battlefield.
Clementine definitely has a problem!
The entire battlefield gradually fell into a stalemate.
As time passed, the Paladin Order members, scattered to face a large number of Undead, gradually began to suffer casualties.
Even with the Shrine Priest Order's continuous healing and Magic buffs, injuries could be recovered, but stamina could not, and "casualties" began to appear!
