Chapter 636: Chapter 178: Undead Creature_3
What was peculiar was that when these completely shattered bone birds that couldn’t possibly revive, their grey mists would rise into the sky. However, they didn’t dissipate, instead, they were absorbed by other bone birds. Some of the bone birds had absorbed so much fog that the mist surrounding them gradually turned black. Their greyish-white bones also deepened in color due to that, and they seemed to be much stronger than ordinary bone birds. If dozens of mutated bone birds hit Ah Dai’s shield continuously, his combat qi would vibrate.
Ah Dai internally thought that if this continued, the remaining bone birds would become stronger and stronger as their numbers decreased. Essentially, this would not serve to eradicate them. The grey mist was supporting these bone birds’ attacks, he guessed that as long as all the grey mist was wiped out, the group of bone birds would vanish like smoke in thin air, no longer possessing any attacking capabilities. Thinking of this, he murmured while insisting on his defense shield, "With the dragon’s blood as a guide, endless holy light, expel the evil." The dragon’s blood on his chest radiated a white light, under Ah Dai’s mental control, it floated out and turned into a mass of white light, the holy aura radiated gradually. Ah Dai shouted and waved with his left hand, a flood of holy light burst out, shooting directly at the grey mist around the bone birds in the sky.
Under Ah Dai’s hopeful gaze, the holy white light collided with the grey mist on the perimeter of the bone birds. Like ice meeting fire, the holy light and grey mist quickly melted away. The bone birds in the sky suddenly became agitated. Their impact speed quickened and Ah Dai, after using the holy light, barely had a chance to breathe. His sight was completely blocked by the crazily charging bone birds. The rabid assault greatly increased his pressure and the speed at which his combat qi was being consumed was noticeably faster.
While resisting the bone birds’ charge, Ah Dai relayed to Xuan Yue: "Quickly use a more potent light magic to directly assault the bone birds’ grey mist. That will deal a major blow to them."
Upon receiving Ah Dai’s message, Xuan Yue immediately handed all defensive responsibilities to Olivia. The majority of the bone birds were charging at Ah Dai, and the few remaining ones could temporarily be held back by Olivia’s magic power. Wrapped in the whirlwind barrier, Xuan Yue held the Angel Wand in front of her chest and continually whispered spells.
Golden wings slowly unfurled behind Xuan Yue and enfolded by golden divine light, she was like a fairy descending from the heavens. Her slim body seemed inviolate. Her eyes lit up, Xuan Yue raised her wand, and pointed it forward, a golden lightning bolt drifted out. The gold light transformed non-stop in the air, by the time it reached the bone birds, it had turned into a massive pillar of light, three meters in diameter.
The bone birds sensed the danger. The ones charging at Ah Dai suddenly split and rushed wildly towards Xuan Yue and the others. However, their response was ultimately a bit slow. Just as they separated, Xuan Yue’s powerful light magic had already struck the root of the bone bird group.
"Whoosh—" The grey mist churned violently under the assault of the golden light. Suddenly, the bone birds in the sky were thrown into chaos as they aimlessly crashed into each other like headless flies. They couldn’t maintain their attacks anymore and a large number of bone birds continuously fell from the sky. These fallen bone birds no longer had the support of the grey mist. Once they hit the ground and crumbled into dust, they could not revive again.
Xuan Yue’s magic was incredibly powerful and had almost melted away nearly half of the grey mist. Without the bone birds’ attack, Ah Dai flew back to his group and said to Xuan Yue: "Let’s take advantage of the situation and completely wipe out these bone birds."
Xuan Yue was delighted at the result of her magic and nodded in agreement, continuing to chant her next spell. Just then, an anomaly occurred. The once calm ground began to ripple gradually, the surrounding yellowish-brown hills slowly turned grey, waves after waves of chillingly evil aura spread out from the earth and mountains, and in the surprise of everyone, cracks began to appear on the ground.
From those cracks, countless skeletal hands crept out one after another, one after another skeleton crawled out from the cracks. Each skeleton had a different appearance, some even had four arms and three heads, obviously they were put together. And their colors varied, with white being the most common, followed by grey. Less common were blue and black skeletons, and the least common were brownish-yellow. In an instant, the originally calm bald mountain top was covered with various skeletons. Although the skeletons weren’t as dense as the bone birds in the sky, they still alarmed everyone, they didn’t know how to deal with this sudden change.
The skeletons moved quite slowly, but the surrounding skeletons that were closing in from all directions were already very close. They brought a great oppressive feeling to everyone. The skeletons didn’t have the grey mist around them like the bone birds, but the danger they presented was much intensely compared to that of bone birds, obviously they were much more powerful undead creatures. This abrupt change left Ah Dai feeling a bit bewilderd, unsure of how to deal with it. With a bitter smile, Xuan Yue said: "If the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group were here, they’d know what a real skeleton army looks like. Let’s get into formation." As previously planned, everyone formed a circle, with Ah Dai, Yan Shi, and Sheng Xie guarding the outside while the others inside began chanting their spells. Olivia and Kino were in charge of attacking, while Xuan Yue and Zhuo Yun applied defense magic on those on the outer circle. Zhuo Yun suddenly realized that because there was no vegetation around, her elf magic couldn’t be fully utilized, she had become the weakest among them.
