Not to mention the fact that it would be difficult for them to threaten the monster in the sky with their current abilities, so what if they could? Without the support of the mages and archers, the Warriors at the front would definitely be attacked without restraint. Once they started to lose members, the whole team would collapse. By then, there would be no need for the Humerus Wyrm — just the Skeletal Warriors that were everywhere would be enough to engulf the whole team …
"Cut the crap. If you want to go back alive, do as I say!" The Humerus Wyrm in the sky had already spread its huge wings, and the Skeletal Warriors that were coming from all directions were suffocating Sienna. He did not have the time to hesitate or explain to his men at this point. The only thing he could do was to yell at them in an almost violent tone.
After Sienna yelled at them, the mages could not be bothered anymore. They retreated one by one to put some distance between themselves and the Skeletal Warriors. Then, a series of chanting could be heard from the crowd as the archers gave up on their targets and aimed at the terrifying monster in the sky.
With the two most powerful professions out of the battle, the rest of the team immediately felt the pressure increase. The Skeletal Warriors that were coming from all directions seemed endless. It was not easy to slash a group of Skeletal Warriors into pieces, but more Skeletal Warriors would fill the gap immediately after. It felt as if they had fallen into quicksand — no matter how hard they struggled, they would only sink deeper and deeper into the quicksand …
The gap they left behind could only be filled by Sienna. He slashed with all his might with his scimitar, exerting the strength of a level-14 Warrior to the limit. Beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and he looked as though he had just been fished out of the water. After much difficulty, Sienna finally managed to split a Skeletal Warrior apart. He panted heavily as he looked up at the sky again …
That black-robed young mage was still calmly floating in the sky. He had put away his staff that was inlaid with a huge gem, and in its place was an exquisite hand crossbow. On the crossbow's crossbow, there was a sharp bolt emitting a dazzling light.
"Bloody hell, what is that fella doing …" Sienna's heart was in his throat as he watched the Humerus Wyrm spread its huge wings and whipped up a strong gust of wind in the sky. At this point, he only had two options. One was to let his men attack the Humerus Wyrm to buy some time for that young mage called Felic, and the other was to ignore the other party and focus on dealing with the Skeletal Warriors that were closing in …
To Sienna, it was an extremely difficult decision. He had no choice, because his subordinates were too weak. Even if they attacked the Humerus Wyrm, they would not be able to buy too much time. Perhaps a single dragon breath would be enough to devour all of them.
But, what else could they do? The young mage named Felic was already the most powerful among all of them. Once he was killed by the Humerus Wyrm, the others would only be left with the same fate.
Under the immense pressure, Sienna quickly made a decision. He slashed down with his machete, and a Skeletal Warrior that was pouncing toward him was split into two. At the same time, he turned around and ordered his men without hesitation, "Attack!"
Following Sienna's command, more than ten sharp arrows were shot into the sky. Then, a spell was broken, and a brilliant magical light suddenly bloomed among the crowd. Countless wind blades and fireballs were shot out, and in an instant, the Humerus Wyrm's body was lit up with brilliant fireworks.
Then, a roar came from the sky. Even with the strength of the Humerus Wyrm's body, it was difficult for it to remain unscathed under the sudden attack. A few fireballs exploded on its bone wings, and a few broken bones were blown off. The sharp arrows that pierced through its bones made the Humerus Wyrm feel extremely uncomfortable. Of course, to the Humerus Wyrm, what was really intolerable was the provocation brought about by the attack. The Humerus Wyrm had inherited the power and knowledge of a real wyrm. At the same time, it naturally inherited the pride of a real wyrm. How could it tolerate other creatures provoking it? A bunch of humans that were as insignificant as ants actually dared to provoke it, and even caused it to suffer some minor injuries …
A dragon's roar came from the sky, and that huge shadow suddenly circled around. Without any hesitation, the Humerus Wyrm gave up on the mage that was so close to it, and swooped down towards the place where the Skeletal Warriors were surrounding them …
"It's over …" The twenty or so adventurers all had the same thought in their minds.
The terror of the Humerus Wyrm had long been etched in the depths of their hearts. Faced with this terrifying monster, they could not even muster the will to resist. At this moment, almost everyone was scared out of their wits, and could only watch as that huge shadow swooped down from the sky. The mages forgot to recite their spells, and the archers forgot to draw their bowstrings. Even the Warriors that were surrounded by the Skeletal Warriors forgot to block the machetes that were slashing down from above …
Just this moment of shock caused a few screams to be heard from the crowd. A few of the Warriors that were scared out of their wits were slashed to the ground by the Skeletal Warriors that were pouncing on them.
The death of their companions exacerbated the spread of panic. The team, which had been unusually loose in the first place, completely collapsed at this moment. Almost everyone wanted to run for their lives. More than twenty adventurers pushed and shoved each other, and for a moment, it was simply chaotic.
Fortunately, Jason and the female priest had already dealt with the Skeletal Warriors that were surrounding them, and successfully met up with Sienna and the rest. With the rune's adamantine sword in Jason's hand, the team was barely saved from the brink of collapse …
However, the shadow in the sky was still getting bigger, and everyone could almost smell the dragon's breath.
"What … what do we do?" Sienna's panting was rough and heavy, sounding like a broken bellows. At this point, Sienna had really lost all hope. He watched as the Humerus Wyrm flew closer and closer, and the dragon's breath that symbolized death would engulf everyone in the next moment. He had done what he could, but that young mage called Felic was still floating quietly in the sky, as if none of this had anything to do with him …
Damn it, I shouldn't have trusted this fella!
Sienna cursed in his heart, and looked at Jason for help.
"Let me do it …" No one had expected that the one who stood up at this moment would be the female priest Rotiya, who had not spoken much. She slowly walked out from behind Jason, her pretty face full of determination and confidence.
"But …" Jason opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but just as he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped. In the end, he just nodded and said, "Alright …"
Rotiya walked out slowly, her snow-white robe fluttering in the wind. The melodious chanting was like flowing water, and Rotiya was filled with a holy aura under the dazzling Holy Light. Almost everyone held their breath at the same time as they were immersed in this stunning beauty. At this moment, everyone even forgot about the Humerus Wyrm in the sky, and the impending danger …
Then, another dragon's roar came from the sky. The Humerus Wyrm opened its mouth, and spat out a dark flame. At the same time, the female priest finished her chanting, and in an instant, a dazzling Holy Light burst forth, and the whole world seemed to be plated with a layer of gold …
"Boom!"
After a deafening sound, the whole world suddenly fell silent.
"What … What's going on?" Sienna was the first to recover from the shock. He touched his face subconsciously, and then looked around in confusion. At this moment, Sienna thought he was dreaming. He could not believe that he could survive the Humerus Wyrm's dragon breath …
Yet, everything around him seemed so real. Not a single one of his subordinates was missing, and all of them were looking at him blankly. On the other hand, the densely packed Skeletal Warriors seemed to have evaporated in an instant, and the entire world was empty. Apart from the mages and the Humerus Wyrms in the sky, there was only a bunch of confused Adventurers left …
Oh, no, no, no … There was also the pale-faced female priest. She had already fallen to the ground, and her delicate face was drained of blood. Sienna could no longer feel any Divine Power from her, and could not even feel a trace of life. If not for the faint breathing, Sienna would have thought that she was already dead.
Looking at Jason's sorrowful face, Sienna immediately understood everything. The female priest must have used a theurgy that required a huge price. Only such a theurgy could allow everyone to escape the Humerus Wyrm's dragon breath. Although everyone had survived, the female priest would have to pay a huge price.
"Thank you." Although Sienna's voice was soft, even a deaf person could tell that this "thank you" was from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Li was still floating quietly in the sky, and his posture did not change at all. It was as if nothing in the world had anything to do with him other than the crossbow in his hand. To Lin Li, time was of the essence. He had to make use of every second he had to output mana. Only by doing so would he have a chance to use one of the seven meteorite debris, "Holy Light" …
