Chapter 888: Annihilation

Without the obstruction of the skeleton cannon fodder, Xiaona and the others soon collided with the high-level undead in the rear.

"Everyone, activate Overclocking State!" When the enemies appeared in her field of vision, Xiaona gave the order decisively.

In an instant, the red in the pupils of all the Cursed Children suddenly transformed into a heart-palpitating scarlet, and within this scarlet, a hint of golden light was also mixed in.

Come to think of it, this Overclocking State was originally developed by Tina when facing Lingyun. Later, after the Cursed Children signed the contract of the Cloud Realm, the Gastrea virus was no longer the Damocles Sword hanging over the heads of the Cursed Children, and the Overclocking State spread among all the Cursed Children. When the Overclocking State is activated, the various abilities of the Cursed Children are greatly enhanced.

Xiaona, having activated the Overclocking State, stomped her right foot against the ground, and her figure instantly turned into an afterimage, sweeping into the enemy formation.

A squad of Sky Tier death knights urged their warhorses forward, leveling their lances and thrusting toward Xiaona. A sharp glint flashed in Xiaona's eyes; as her figure flashed rapidly, streaks of Sword Qi swept out from her Light Sword, directly tearing through the death knights' armor and cleaving them and their horses in two.

A large group of Holy Tier gargoyles flapped their wings and approached the Cursed Children serving as the assault team, wanting to attack them from the sky. Wraiths let out shrill shrieks, wanting to use their voices to interfere with the Cursed Children. Just at this moment, countless beams of light shot over from afar. These beams carried scorching power, piercing through the bodies of the gargoyles and dispersing the forms of the wraiths.

The gaunt ghouls raised their hands, gathering powerful Undead Magic in their palms, wanting to strike at Xiaona and the others. But before the Undead Magic in their hands could fully coalesce, daggers and bullets from unknown origins took their lives.

"It's a completely one-sided situation! Even though they are just a group of children, they possess such powerful abilities; it really is astonishing!" Standing in the Void, Oufeina looked at the battle below, a hint of amazement in her eyes.

Ever since Xiaona revealed a portion of her strength in front of her, she knew the strength of these children would not be simple, but seeing this scene now still made her feel somewhat incredulous. They were clearly just a group of children, yet they possessed such rich combat experience; this was truly hard for her to imagine.

"Lingyun, what did these children go through in the past?" Aiweier asked, leaning against Lingyun.

"Their pasts certainly cannot be considered pleasant; one could even say they faced life-threatening danger at any moment. Much of the combat experience they possess now was obtained through one life-and-death struggle after another," Lingyun said softly.

"Then it must have been you, Lingyun, who helped them be saved from that dangerous situation, just like how you saved us back then. I can tell, you know; although these little girls all call you 'brother,' in terms of feelings, it seems to have already exceeded the scope of 'brother'!" A hint of resentment entered Aiweier's tone.

"Ahem, they are all still children right now. Some things are still too early for them; let's talk about it after they grow up," Lingyun said with a light cough.

The battle below continued, but the Cursed Children had already completely suppressed the undead's offensive. Although attacks landed on them from time to time, the Absolute Defense inherent to their armor resisted the undead's attacks very well.

"Roar—"

A heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the battlefield. The ground suddenly cracked, and dust surged into the sky under the impact of the massive energy, obscuring the sunlight. A gray halo expanded from the ground and spread toward the surroundings.

The Cursed Children on the scene did not hesitate at all, flying backward at high speed to avoid the area swept by the halo. The ground swept by the halo was instantly covered in a layer of frost; the grass that had stubbornly survived the battle began to wither rapidly after being swept by this halo, eventually turning into tiny fragments.

Amidst the flying dust, a massive figure suddenly burst out from the earth. Huge bone wings blocked the sunlight, and within the dragon skull that remained, soul fire burned fiercely. The thick skeleton was covered in frost, releasing a chilling aura.

"This is... a God Tier undead dragon?" Looking at the undead dragon appearing on the battlefield, Aiweier couldn't help but frown. "This guy, those children shouldn't be able to handle it. I'll go down and help them!"

Lingyun reached out and grabbed Aiweier, shaking his head at her. The moment the undead dragon appeared, Xiaona had sent a message to Lingyun saying that they could handle this undead dragon and asked Lingyun not to intervene. Seeing Xiaona's message, Lingyun stopped his plan to act; otherwise, this undead dragon might not have even had the chance to crawl out of the ground. After all, with him here, he wouldn't let Xiaona and the others get hurt.

Seeing the massive undead dragon, a fighting spirit also surged in Xiaona's eyes. As the first Cursed Child to follow Lingyun, she had received the most benefits, and her strength was the greatest among all the Cursed Children. Although she could not contend with the undead dragon on her own, she was not alone now.

"Link System, activate!"

Following Xiaona's order, the armor on the Cursed Children she led lit up simultaneously. The armor of the ten people echoed each other, appearing to form a single whole. Powerful energy was continuously poured into Xiaona's body. Xiaona gripped the Light Sword in her hand, and the powerful energy caused the Light Sword to expand by several degrees.

The undead dragon opened its mouth, and powerful Dragon Breath spewed out, roaring toward Xiaona's direction. Most undead dragons could not use Dragon Language Magic like the Dragon Race, but their Dragon Breath was even more powerful than that of ordinary dragons; one could say that a single blast of Dragon Breath was a small piece of Dragon Language Magic.

Facing the surging Dragon Breath, Xiaona did not show the slightest fear. The Light Sword in her hand slashed down fiercely, rawly splitting the Dragon Breath in half.

Subsequently, the armor on Xiaona's body erupted with brilliant light, pushing her body to move at high speed. Xiaona's figure dragged afterimages beside the undead dragon, and the Light Sword in her hand slashed repeatedly at the undead dragon.

Even though the bones on the undead dragon's body were incomparably hard, one wound after another still appeared under the slashes of the Light Sword. Most importantly, the wounds cut by the Light Sword carried a kind of scorching power; this power seemed to have a significant restraining effect on Death Qi, preventing the undead dragon from using Death Qi to heal the wounds on its body.

The undead dragon let out an angry roar, spread its huge wings, and frantically spewed out blasts of Dragon Breath. The surrounding Cursed Children had long since avoided this upon seeing the scene, while those high-level undead were repeatedly hit by the Dragon Breath, turning into huge ice sculptures.

"It's over!"

Xiaona's figure danced gracefully in mid-air like a butterfly, avoiding the fatal blasts of Dragon Breath. After catching a slight opening exposed by the undead dragon, her figure suddenly lunged onto the undead dragon's head, and the Light Sword in her hand turned, stabbing heavily into the undead dragon's skull.

The undead dragon, having its skull pierced, let out a shriek and shook its head frantically, wanting to throw Xiaona off. But the armor on Xiaona's feet released a powerful suction, fixing her onto the undead dragon's head. At the same time, powerful energy bombarded the undead dragon's soul fire through the Light Sword, causing its soul fire to shake constantly.

Finally, the undead dragon's soul fire could not withstand the impact of the Light Sword's power; after flickering a few times, it extinguished completely. Once the soul fire extinguished, the undead dragon's body froze instantly, and then it collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of bones.
