"Didn't I tell you, I also awakened a special innate talent?" Cheng Xiao said naturally.
"Special? It's not that kind of special! This is War General Level!"
Mo Fan was already incoherent, his confidence suffering an unprecedented blow.
He thought that cultivating for three years and breaking through to Middle-Rank was already impressive enough.
As a result, Cheng Xiao directly delivered a dimensionality reduction strike, killing a War General Level creature at the Initial Level!
Mo Fan suddenly felt that his innate talent was quite useless.
If he had to choose between Cheng Xiao's 'special' innate talent and innate dual elements, he would definitely not choose innate dual elements.
"Necromancer," Mo Fan muttered to himself.
His gaze swept over Cheng Xiao, Yegret, and the dozen or so One-Eyed Magic Wolves that had transformed into Shadow Soldiers, and he was already consumed by envy.
What kind of Necromancer is so heaven-defying, having a number close to half a demon's nest at the Initial Level!
This isn't special, it's already heaven-defying, okay!
"Cheng Ge, you didn't take some crooked path, did you?" Mo Fan couldn't help but suspect.
Cheng Xiao's strength was already unbelievably strong, perhaps even a Middle-Rank Necromancer would be no more than this?
"Do you think those crooked paths can compare to me?" Cheng Xiao retorted.
Mo Fan recalled the Black Minions of the Black Vatican and compared them to Cheng Xiao's Shadow Legion.
Whether it was quantity, combat power, or even appearance, they were worlds apart.
It seemed they really couldn't be compared.
"Mo Fan Gege, why are you talking like that? Cheng Xiao Gege wouldn't be that kind of person!" Ye Xin Xia defended Cheng Xiao thoughtfully.
Mo Fan was stunned when he heard this, his own sister was already siding with someone else so quickly?
But thinking about it carefully, if it was Cheng Xiao, it seemed only natural.
Cheng Xiao saved Xin Xia, and their relationship was already good.
"It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's take Xin Xia back to the Safe Zone first," Cheng Xiao said.
"Right, back to the Safe Zone!"
Mo Fan snapped back from his shock, finally remembering the purpose of their trip.
They were originally supposed to find Xin Xia, but Cheng Xiao had directly solved all the problems.
But the most urgent matter now was to send Xin Xia back to the Safe Zone first.
With Cheng Xiao escorting them, there shouldn't be any more accidents.
The most reassuring thing in the apocalypse is having a super strong leg to hug.
...
On the way back to the Safe Zone, not having to be constantly on edge made Mo Fan feel quite unaccustomed.
Of course, there were many demons attacking the surroundings, but without exception, they were all killed by the Shadow Soldiers!
Mo Fan was shocked when he saw the powerful combat strength of the Shadow Soldiers.
Even Mo Fan, who had just broken through to Intermediate-level mage, couldn't say he could protect himself safely.
He had never imagined being able to walk back to the Safe Zone so calmly and securely as he was now.
Cheng Xiao pushed the wheelchair Ye Xin Xia was sitting in, his dark eyes clearly wandering, his mind elsewhere.
"After continuous battles, the Shadow Soldiers' levels seem to have increased."
"I almost forgot, the Shadow Soldiers' strength can be continuously improved through combat."
Four of the Shadow Magic Wolves had already broken through to the Servant-level advanced stage, and the rest of the Shadow Magic Wolves seemed to be Greater Servant-level.
Greater Servant-level can generally fight three Lesser Servants and requires a team of Initial Level elites to contend with!
"Battle, we still need continuous battle!" The fighting spirit in Cheng Xiao's heart grew stronger:
"Since I can't control War General Level Shadow Soldiers yet, I'll first increase the overall strength of the Corps."
"A Shadow Legion entirely composed of Servant advanced stage, I'm afraid they wouldn't need Yegret's leadership to easily eliminate a War General Level, right?"
"Cheng Ge!" Mo Fan suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Xiao and Ye Xin Xia looked at him with a tacit understanding.
At this moment, Mo Fan's expression was solemn, and he said:
"Let's go up to the rooftop."
Cheng Xiao seemed to remember something and didn't say much, carrying Ye Xin Xia and rushing up to the rooftop with him.
The Shadow Magic Wolves stayed downstairs, while Yegret followed along.
Upon reaching the rooftop, the first thing that came into view was a gray sky.
Below, different magical lights flickered, along with the roars and howls of demons.
There were also several mages surrounded by demons.
"It's Colonel Cheng and them," Mo Fan said, pointing below with a frown.
Although he knew they were determined to die to complete this mission.
But seeing this scene, Mo Fan still felt a little unbearable.
Flames were already fluctuating around him, preparing to use the Book of Stars to help.
"The number, it can be resolved," Cheng Xiao didn't give an order immediately but looked at Yegret:
"Yegret, what do you think?"
Yegret was stunned for a moment and replied:
"They... are all respectable warriors."
As a warrior, Yegret respected all respectable warriors, regardless of whether the opponent's strength was weak.
"Since that's the case, then they shouldn't die," Cheng Xiao said.
Original text is being read!
Yegret instantly understood Cheng Xiao's meaning and jumped down from the tall building without any hesitation.
The Shadow Magic Wolves downstairs also heard the King's command.
They let out angry roars more terrifying than the One-Eyed Magic Wolves and charged towards the group of One-Eyed Magic Wolves and Giant-Eyed Blood Rats with the Corps Commander!
"Cheng Ge, I'm going down!"
After Mo Fan finished speaking, without waiting for Cheng Xiao's response, he joined the Shadow Legion in attacking the demons.
Damn demons, this time we will definitely drive you all out!
"Let's go, we'll go down too," Cheng Xiao said to Ye Xin Xia, who was being held in a princess carry.
"Okay, I'll listen to Cheng Xiao Gege."
Ye Xin Xia nodded obediently, lying in Cheng Xiao's arms with peace of mind, trusting Cheng Xiao unconditionally.
...
Colonel Cheng's team had already completed the mission of destroying the cave entrance and preventing subsequent demons from entering the city.
But at the same time, they were also surrounded by numerous demons.
"Don't give up, we will definitely survive," Colonel Cheng comforted his companions.
"Right, don't give up, we can definitely survive," said the military mage Luo Yunbo.
No military mage truly regards death as going home; they are just more resolute than ordinary people.
When they are needed to sacrifice, they will stand out firmly.
Similarly, when facing difficulties, they also firmly seek that glimmer of hope.
"Later, I'll lure away the Magic Wolves over there, and you guys charge out towards the Safe Zone, don't look back!" Colonel Cheng said in a low voice.
"Colonel, you..."
Luo Yunbo opened his mouth, but the words that reached his lips were swallowed back.
He already understood what Colonel Cheng was going to do.
As the only Intermediate-level mage in the team, he could indeed attract the most demons, but he himself...
"I'll lead them out," Xu Dahuang said with a grin, enduring his injuries.
"I'm counting on you!"
Colonel Cheng took a deep breath, his heart rate already at its highest.
Facing terrifying demons, no one could calmly accept their death, and neither could he.
But he was willing to sacrifice himself to win that glimmer of hope for his companions' survival!
Just as Colonel Cheng was about to act, a tall and imposing black general appeared in his line of sight.
