Chapter 101 - War!

"Not good!" Meirin and Green gasped at the same time.

From the screen, Zhao also saw what happened. With a thought, he managed to pull s.h.i.+ft out of danger and placed him in a predetermined spot next to Green. But his reaction wasn"t fast enough since s.h.i.+ft still sustained some injuries.

Suddenly, magic warning lights shot out of the tent and into the sky, lighting up the whole camp.

Everyone in the camp started waking up. The first was the three advanced warriors, who immediately rushed out of their tent. Their faces had always been as still as thousand year old ice, but from what they saw outside, their faces started to change color.

The situation of the entire camp had completely changed. Everywhere you look there were huge undead, numbering more than a thousand. They were running around the camp like mad buffalo.

Many of the ordinary warriors, before they were able to leave their tents, were trampled to death by the undead. And even those who were able to get out in time had to start fighting the undead, but of course, they weren"t even worthy opponents. In a single moment, out of three hundred warriors, less than one hundred of them were still alive.

The three advanced warriors were very surprised. These undead creatures were highly toxic. An ordinary warrior would become poisoned with just a single touch from the undead. They had to use all of their martial arts skill to try to suppress the spread of the toxins. If they couldn"t suppress, their bodies would instantly rot with a green color, and they would fall to the ground, dead.

With their pathetic efforts to fight back, more than two hundred warriors had already been killed, some from this lethal toxin.

What also alarmed the three advanced warriors was that even though they had set up a perimeter of a.s.sa.s.sins around the canyon, they had received no warning of these undead from them. The a.s.sa.s.sins had also failed to return to aid them. This gave them an ominous feeling.

While they were standing there, stunned from what they saw, two blue water dragons rushed straight at them. The three advanced warriors immediately recovered, then they took out their swords.

Their swords weren"t like the common ones that could be found on the Continent. They were similar to rapiers, thin and meant for stabbing. Generally, the n.o.bility would wear these on their waist for decoration. But these swords that the advanced warriors carried were significantly different. The blade was black, but it also revealed hints of red. This was a weapon that looked ready to kill.

Two of the three advanced warriors stabbed their swords and eventually took down the water dragons, then they all rushed at Meirin.

Meanwhile, Meg, Blockhead, and Rockhead were fighting some of the ordinary warriors. They didn"t dare partic.i.p.ate in the battles against the high level experts, because if they did, they wouldn"t even know how they died. The three had no real war experience, but their strength was more than enough to deal with these panicking ordinary warriors.

Just then, a bang came from the mage"s tent. The tent split apart and two giant stone figures rose up.

The stone giants stood as firm as a mountain. They were very tall, about seven to eight meters, with a round boulder forming their heads, though it had indistinct human facial features.

Obviously, these two stone giants were summoned by the Jie s.h.i.+ Ling twins. They were what made the twins famous.

Garan was standing between the Jie s.h.i.+ Ling twins. He had his magic staff in one hand and the Iron Book in the other. With cold eyes, he stared at the undead running around. "Humph, shameless villain. Is that how you plan to attack?"

Garan opened up the Iron Book, and suddenly a ma.s.sive amount of white light shot into the sky. The light slowly formed into white spheres, which then fell to the ground, like meteors, throughout the whole canyon.

Meirin couldn"t help but feel surprised when she saw this scene. "d.a.m.n, it"s Coming Lights. I can"t believe that"s one of the spells sealed in the Iron Book."

Coming Lights was a sixth level light spell. It wasn"t an attack spell, but an area of effect healing spell. It brought no harm to humans or spirit beast. However, it was lethal to the undead. It might not be powerful enough to kill high level undead, but it can cause a lot of damage.

This spell that Garan released could arguably be the most useful in this situation. Because of its large area of effect, it could take down this army of undead, and even injure Drunk and the other undead black mages.

Seeing what was happening outside the s.p.a.ce, Zhao was under pressure, trying to think of a way to protect his undead from this magical attack. He was about to pull the undead back into the s.p.a.ce, when suddenly the voice came: [Discovery of radioactive rays. Absorbing light. a.n.a.lyzing. Light rays are similar to radiation therapy. Light rays causes damage to robotic objects. Improving robotic objects]

After the voice faded away, all the undead in the canyon started flas.h.i.+ng green light. The bones of the undead soon became crystal clear. Now when the light spell hit them, it seemed to have no effect.

Zhao stared blankly at this. He didn"t understand how this could have happened. Supposedly the s.p.a.ce had improve the undead so that they wouldn"t be affected by the light, but he didn"t even crack open a hole to bring the undead into the s.p.a.ce for improvement. So how did the s.p.a.ce do it?

Zhao was puzzled until he saw s.h.i.+ft, who was fighting alongside Green. s.h.i.+ft was injured, but he could still move around and fight. With a look of amazement on his face, Zhao finally understood how the s.p.a.ce improved the undead. It was because s.h.i.+ft was holding the ghost staff. That staff was connected to the s.p.a.ce, so naturally when it sensed the light spell, it allowed the s.p.a.ce to improve the undead.

Figuring this out, Zhao couldn"t help but laugh. He hadn"t bothered to take the ghost staff back from s.h.i.+ft earlier because the staff was bound to Zhao. There was no way for other people to use it. Even s.h.i.+ft could do nothing but carry it around. If someone actually s.n.a.t.c.hed it, Zhao could recover it with a single thought. That was why he wasn"t in a hurry to take back the staff, which resulted in this unexpected windfall.

Everyone in the camp had also noticed that the light didn"t affect the undead. Originally, the undead were moving around slowly because the light was burning them like sulfuric acid, but after they flashed with a green light, they seemed to have become more vigorous. Neither the warriors or Garan could understand how this could happen, but Green and Meirin understood. It was because of the s.p.a.ce.

When Garan saw that the undead wasn"t reacting to the light, his face became pale. He immediately used the Iron Book again, and soon light magic surrounded his body, forming a glowing white angel. The angel wore white robes and it had a wingspan fifty meters long. In its hands was a great white s.h.i.+eld with a mighty lion face pattern on it.

This was the sixth level light spell: Angel"s Protection.

Of course, it wasn"t a real angel. It was just a spell that projected the light elements to create this image. This spell was used for defense.

After he released Angel"s Protection, Garan put away the book and whispered a spell that formed a layer of magic around the Jie s.h.i.+ Ling twins, who were sending their stone giants to fight the undead.

Not only were the stone giants strong, they could also throw parts of themselves as projectiles. Afterwards, they could just absorb the earth element from the ground to compose new parts for their body. They were very difficult to deal with.
