Chapter 887: First Battle in Another World

Just as the city-defending Pawn drew their blades, streaks of light descended from the sky, directly bombarding the hillside piled up with bones by the skeleton army.

Under the bombardment of these streaks of light, the hillside made of bones collapsed instantly, finally turning into nothingness; the skeletons that were climbing immediately fell off the city wall, landing on the ground and shattering into pieces.

"Ch, children?" Looking at the ten figures that had suddenly appeared on the city wall, Laobobo could not help but open his mouth wide.

These children were wearing strange armor, but the aura emanating from their bodies made even Laobobo feel shocked.

Xiaona looked at the skeletons in front of her, her brows twitching involuntarily. She just felt that the cannon fodder in front of her was truly too weak; even some Stage 1 Gastrea in the Black World might be stronger than these skeletons.

"Compared to those skeletons in Aincrad, they look so much uglier!" one of the Cursed Children muttered.

"Little sisters, destroy all these skeleton frames and let Big Brother see the results of our training during this period!" Xiaona drew the Long sword from her back and said loudly.

"Hah—"

Hearing Xiaona's order, the Cursed Children drew their Light Swords simultaneously, stepped forward in unison, and slashed their Light Swords toward the direction of the skeleton army.

Ten streaks of Sword Qi flew out, then merged halfway into one larger Sword Qi. The merged Sword Qi began to expand continuously, directly tearing a huge passage through the skeleton army. However, the skeletons covering the mountains and plains soon filled this passage, then continued to advance toward the city wall.

While Xiaona was taking action, the Cursed Children led by Xia Shi also moved. When facing a large number of low-strength enemies, their equipment could exert even more powerful lethality. Countless beams of light sprayed out from the beam guns in their hands, bombarding the skeleton army like a rainstorm. Facing this kind of attack, the low-strength skeleton army had absolutely no power to fight back; after all, this kind of skeleton army could not even activate an Undead Army Formation.

"Heh, it seems like interesting fellows have joined the battlefield!" At the rear of the skeleton army, a Lich shrouded in a black robe from head to toe revealed a ferocious smile.

Just at this moment, a streak of light suddenly pierced through his skull; before the Lich could even react, he fell directly to the ground.

On a mountain peak, Tina, lying prone on the ground, held a huge sniper rifle, scarlet light flickering in her eyes as she stared fixedly at the direction of the Lich.

"Successfully hit the enemy, but it seems it didn't cause fatal damage to the enemy... Is the opponent a Lich? Then the weakness should be the Soul Box, I wonder where the Soul Box is..."

Tina had learned about the undead creatures of the God-Given Continent from Lingyun; the Lich's soul core was hidden in a Soul Box, and as long as the Soul Box was not destroyed, the Lich had the ability to resurrect infinitely. However, the Liches of this world had a shortcoming, which was that the Soul Box could not be too far away from them; the further away they were from their Soul Box, the weaker the power the Lich could exert.

"Click—"

A powerful Death Knight suddenly fell from his undead horse, and the Soul Fire emanating from his helmet dissipated completely in an instant. Behind the Death Knight, a translucent shadow suddenly emerged, then faded back into the Void.

The undead horse the Death Knight was sitting on let out a roar, its two hooves suddenly lifted, and it stomped down toward the direction where the shadow had just appeared. But just as its body lifted, a dagger pierced through its skull. Powerful force poured from the tip of the dagger into the undead horse's brain, directly blowing its head into fragments.

"Damn it, damn it, who exactly are these people?" The Lich, whose head had been pierced by Tina's shot, suddenly climbed up from the ground.

Beside him, dozens of powerful undead had already fallen. These undead were all existences of the Sky Tier, and coupled with the immortality of the undead, they were even harder to deal with than ordinary Sky Tier beings. But now these Sky Tier beings were being slaughtered like chickens and ducks on a chopping board, without a shred of ability to resist, and they couldn't even find where the enemy was. If it weren't for the fact that he was a Lich, whose soul would not perish if the Soul Box was not broken, he would have already "received his lunch box" just now.

"So it's in this place?" Tina, who had been staring at this Lich, narrowed her eyes slightly.

Just now, she had keenly sensed a faint soul fluctuation from a ring on the Lich's finger, after which this Lich climbed up from the ground. However, this Lich was also very cautious, protecting the ring in his hand at every moment. Watching the Lich like this, Tina directly transmitted an order.

Suddenly, a shadow swept past the Lich; before the Lich could react, its arm flew into the sky. The moment the arm flew out, the Soul Fire in the Lich's eyes flared up, and a Soul Deprivation blasted directly toward the direction of that shadow.

However, this attack had no effect on the figure; an invisible barrier appeared beside the figure, easily blocking the attack. And the figure that had been attacked rolled on the ground, its form disappearing into the air once again.

"Opportunity!" The moment the Lich's arm flew up, Tina shifted her gun barrel and fired a shot at the ring on the arm.

The bullet engraved with runes instantly turned into a streak of light, tore through the Defense Array on the ring, and smashed the ring to pieces.

When his arm was severed by someone, the Lich felt that something was wrong, but he did not expect the enemy's attack to be so sharp, directly shattering his Soul Box. After the Soul Box was shattered, the Lich's body suddenly ignited, finally turning into a pile of ashes on the ground.

After the Lich was eliminated, a large number of skeleton frames on the battlefield simultaneously lost their ability to act; after all, the reason these low-level skeletons could move was all supported by the Lich's power.

"Has Tina already completed the decapitation mission of the skeleton manipulator?" Seeing a large number of skeleton frames collapse, Xiaona and the others jumped down directly from the city wall and charged toward the rear of the skeleton army.

These skeleton frames were nothing but cannon fodder; if it weren't for protecting the defenders of the Hero Tomb, they wouldn't have landed on the city wall. Now that these skeleton frames could no longer move, their target could be shifted to those high-level undead.

"General, is this the reinforcements you spoke of?" Laobobo looked at the general beside him with a dazed expression.

"I, I don't know either. It was Goddess Oufeina who said there would be reinforcements coming to this place, but I have truly never seen this kind of reinforcements before." The general was also speechless for a moment.

"As expected of the legendary Goddess, the reinforcements sent are so extraordinary!" Although Laobobo was not a believer of the God of Light, he could not help but let out an exclamation when faced with this situation.
