After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 74 Slaying - Toes Distinguished

A clearing in the woods.

Hela coughed up blood.

Hino was seriously injured.

Airi was stunned into unconsciousness.

Vita lay motionless on the ground.

"Oh. It seems your pet took the worst hit for you."

Karendall, holding a chained spear, twisted his neck.

Cluck, cluck.

As he turned his head, his heavy armor emitted a piercing sound.

The threat of death loomed close to the other side.

A black barrier covered an area of ​​100 meters.

An Xiao took a heavy breath and quietly looked at the demonic mountain in front of her.

【Karendel, LV62, Imperial Warrior.】

The creation of "[Black]" is corrupting; its attribute values ​​are doubled when the seal is opened.

Warning: The Lord has ordered your capture. With your squad's current strength, you are no match for him at his peak.

Threat level: Certain death.

—

An Xiao could remain calm as she looked at the familiar-looking little girl beside Brendel.

"An Xiao, I'm sorry—I admit I cheated. When it comes to puppetry, I can't beat you. But it's okay, I asked my mom to get some help! You know, for a sorcerer, connections are a valuable asset!"

Lilia was clearly a little guilty.

But now that things had come to this, she didn't care about anything else; she just wanted Karendel to carry An Xiao back as soon as possible.

An Xiao did not respond, but instead glanced at the other side of the barrier.

In the forest, the faint sound of flapping wings drew closer and became increasingly clear.

"Miss, be careful."

97

Karendel reacted with lightning speed, turning around abruptly and swinging his spear diagonally in a certain direction in the sky!

Puff-!

A dark shadow shot out from the tip of the spear like a shuttle, piercing through the chest of a harpy that was swooping down from the sky with lightning speed.

"die."

He slammed the spear heavily onto the ground.

The black shadowy figure synchronized this movement, slamming the blood-splattered harpy to the ground in a fan-shaped arc.

The other eaglets nearby felt a pang of sadness.

"Damn it—Master, wait! We're here to save you!"

Nivea charged to the very front of the harpy group.

She shouted, and all the eaglets behind her abandoned their melee attacks, instead forming a giant triangular array, all converging their magical power—

It was as if they were preparing some kind of grand-scale spell.

"Miss, you should go first. It's not safe here; it will distract me."

Karendel said coldly, "Use a teleportation amulet. I'll bring the prey back to you later."

"Okay—okay! Hope it goes smoothly!"

"We will fulfill our mission."

Karendel, heavily armored as a mountain, swung his chain spear, and an invisible barrier, like a city wall, suddenly formed in front of him.

This is the signature skill of the Imperial Guard general – "High Steel Barrier", which triples his defense and protects all characters behind him with a virtually solid shield.

It's enough to buy some time to withstand the powerful attacks of these little harpies head-on.

Only after Lilia leaves will it be time for me to begin my slaughter.

"Then, I'm leaving! I want to see An Xiao tied to my bed today! After it's done, I'll put in a good word for her with my mother!"

"Thank you so much, Miss."

Karendall's voice was hollow as he patiently protected Lilia, who had taken out the teleportation amulet, until a flash of white light and Lilia completely disappeared from his sight.

"So."

"There's no need to hold back."

Black runes spread across his body towards his back.

In an instant, his aura became even more terrifying.

"Heavenly Fire Formation, activate!"

Nivea sensed the danger and immediately had her sisters unleash their strongest spells ahead of time.

The formation was originally called "Heavenly Fire and Lightning Formation," which sounds very powerful, but in reality, it's just that when the leader casts a lightning storm, all the harpy witches simultaneously release small fireballs, aiming to focus fire and kill instantly.

However, in this system, Saroo Windcutter was originally the core.

Without the support of the lightning storm, the little eagles' barrage of fireballs, though powerful, can at most severely injure a single dragon rider's pterosaur.

At that moment, Karendel looked at the dozens of fireballs rushing towards him and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

He slammed the spear into the ground.

— "Tier 6 Combat Skill: Anti-Magic Shield".

Bright yellow ripples surged, creating a new barrier that was instantly activated in front of the iron wall, completely absorbing all the fireballs that were raining down on them.

"A noisy, lower-level subspecies."

Karendel sneered, as if he could already see the harpies dying horribly.

Within the thick barrier, after absorbing all the magical energy from the fireball spells, a sudden burst of light appeared! The next second, a fire dragon shot out, baring its fangs and claws as it charged back the way it came towards the terrified eaglets in mid-air.

boom!

"Gah—!"

"pain----"

"Feathers, feathers are on fire—"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The harpies fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground.

Karendall fixed his gaze on Nivea, whose feather had been singed, narrowed his eyes, gripped his gun, and prepared to kill her.

At that very moment, without warning, an ice spear, accompanied by a wisp of cyan sword energy, shot out from behind and pierced his demonic armor.

"?"

The armor trembled violently, and marks appeared on its surface.

Unfortunately, these third-tier magic and fourth-tier combat skills failed to inflict any fatal damage on him.

"It's good that you can spot my blind spot. But the opportunity doesn't belong to you."

Calendall, unhurriedly, raised his spear high and first threw it towards the horizon.

He pierced a large hole through Nivea's arm and turned away as she fell, her body contorted in agony.

Then he took a step and walked toward Hela, the witch whose fingertips were still dripping blood.

"I had intended to spare your life, but now it seems I need to use death to make you realize the folly of your actions."

He approached step by step.

The blood dripping from the tip of the gun fell to the ground as the body moved.

Hela shook her head, knowing that after that final sneak attack, she would have no power to resist.

This adventure was a gross underestimation of the strength of the enemies we might encounter.

"The warriors of the Alevant Empire would actually go to such lengths to capture a little girl—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Karendel seemed unwilling to listen any longer and immediately raised his weapon high.

At this moment, An Xiao's face was ashen.

He had been using "Mana Synchronization" to transfer magic to the Wind Sword Princess.

The original plan was to have the Sword Maiden, who had recovered some energy, and the Witch, who could still unleash a final blow, capture Lilia and tie her up while the Harpies focused their attacks on the enemy's front. This would then be used to blackmail Brund into abandoning the mission. However, it now seems that the enemy's caution is impeccable.

Once he gets rid of Lilia, he will be invincible in this area.

Karendall: "It's a pity."

The spear fell.

Go straight for Hai La Mian Pang.

The tip of the gun, carrying the chilling aura of death, flowed before An Xiao's eyes as if in slow motion.

A tremendous sense of hostility took root in someone's heart.

In the midst of racking my brains to the point of near collapse, a bright blue portal suddenly opened to the left and right in the space between the two.

"?"

""

Karendall's bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly as he plunged the tip of his spear firmly into the portal of light blocking his path.

A thick fog billowed, and the crack closed.

A viscous magical force corrupted his weapon at the other end of the space and sucked it into the dissipating portal.

Click, click!

Karendall had to pull back, retracting the fatal blow amidst a shudder of the enchanted chains.

"Who?"

He stared coldly ahead.

As the fog gradually cleared.

Where Hela had been standing, a mysterious woman wearing a high-ranking witch's hat from the Magic Kingdom and with long gray hair reaching her hips carried her on her shoulder.

Without further ado, she gracefully waved her staff—

Eight Dharma rings instantly expanded and shone beneath the clearly defined toes.
