When the first gargoyle appeared, Florida understood that this was the arrival of a fiend. However, there was no turning back now that the battle had reached this stage. Therefore, Florida acted without regard for anything else, attempting to purify the undead creatures as much as possible and forcefully reach the Soul Destroyer mercenary band's area to fight to the death with them.
Tens of thousands of gargoyles circled around Han Shuo's body and surged towards Florida along with Han Shuo's steps through the air. At this moment, Florida's heart was filled with fear, but he couldn't restrain the fury in his heart either. His hateful gaze was fixated on Han Shuo's body.
Florida had no reason not to hate!
From the day Han Shuo arrived in the Valley of Sunshine, it seemed that Florida's misfortune was destined. First, Han Shuo had snatched away Phoebe that Florida had his eyes on. Then, Han Shuo had joined hands with his mortal enemy, Trunks. Han Shuo had embarrassed him time and time again, and had even injured him in front of everyone.
Not only that, but Han Shuo had also destroyed their meticulously planned ambush and killed his beloved grandfather with a ferocious iron fist, causing his relationship with the Church of Light to worsen to an unprecedented degree.
Before Han Shuo had arrived in the Valley of Sunshine, everything in the Valley of Sunshine had been operating according to Florida's plans. With the help of the Church of Light, Trunks was completely confident that he could replace the Cairo mercenary band and become the true master of the Valley of Sunshine, sitting on the enormous resources of the Valley of Sunshine.
According to his plans, with the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band's authority in the Valley of Sunshine on the surface and Butcher Gustav's help in the shadows, all the powers in the Valley of Sunshine, big and small, would be nibbled away by him. At that time, he would possess everything in the Valley of Sunshine.
Unfortunately, Han Shuo's appearance had caused the situation to be reversed, playing out in a completely different trajectory from what he had planned. After Han Shuo had left, he had left behind the malignant tumor that was the Soul Destroyer mercenary band, nibbling away at his hopes and expectations bit by bit.
"My biggest mistake was that I didn't disregard everything and kill you at the start!" Florida glared at Han Shuo and gnashed his teeth as he spoke, his voice filled with unspeakable hatred and resentment.
Han Shuo laughed in a carefree manner. His laughter was loud and clear to the extreme, as if it had transformed into a meandering dragon that soared into the sky. Not only this area, but even Laureton and the others below could hear it clearly.
"Florida, I really feel sorry for you. You think you can do whatever you want in the valley just because you have your grandfather's protection. On one hand, you despicably seized the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band, and on the other hand, you secretly colluded with the cruelest of bandits. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?
Heh, what a pity, what a pity. You're not the only smart person in this world, and you, Florida, don't have the final say. Your grandfather can't protect you for the rest of your life. Now that that old thing Ferguson is finished, you won't be able to cause any more trouble. Ha, what's the point of talking so much nonsense with you? You're going to die soon anyways! "Han Shuo ridiculed Florida and laughed disdainfully.
Florida's face looked as if someone had stepped on it with a dirty shoe after Han Shuo's words. It became extremely ugly and gloomy as he glared hatefully at the approaching Han Shuo. Florida took a deep breath and said, "Today, either you die, or I die!"
"Of course it'll be you who dies!" Han Shuo suddenly shouted coldly as he suddenly sped up step by step towards Florida. He was like a bolt of lightning streaking through the sky as he rapidly charged towards Trunks.
At the same time, the tens of thousands of gargoyles behind Han Shuo suddenly scattered into groups and flew like locusts towards the experts of the three great powers who were being bitten and torn apart by another group of gargoyles.
Little Skull, who was riding the Flying Bone Demon, stood majestically on the back of the Bone Demon. His Purple Demon Eye sparkled as he sized up the sky. He pointed the three meter long bone spear in his hand at Adam Menlo. The Bone Demon beneath him flapped its wings and glided towards Adam Menlo.
Harpies, Frost Eagles, Pegasi, Gryphons, Wyverns, and various other magical beasts were all tamed by Adam Menlo after expending a great deal of effort. Each of these flying magical beasts could deal with a few gargoyles by themselves. In addition to the fact that they were carrying powerful swordsmen or mages of various elements on their backs, they shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage.
However, the reality wasn't so. An expert riding on a magical beast might be able to deal with a dozen gargoyles, but when a group of gargoyles suddenly charged over, that oppressive aura was enough to shake one's heart. That strong smell of rotting corpses wasn't pleasant to the nose, bringing them more trouble than they could imagine.
There were just too many gargoyles. When dozens of gargoyles attacked a magical beast, even the Harpies and Gryphons couldn't handle it. In addition, there were also the two tyrannical super rank magical beasts, Gilbert and Lania. In just a short while, dozens of people were either bitten to death by the gargoyles or beaten to death by the magical beasts they were riding on, causing them to fall into the endless abyss.
Amidst the layers of gargoyles, the Little Skull wielding a three meter long bone spur was riding on the Bone Devil in an incomparably awe-inspiring manner. The Little Skull and the Bone Devil were immune to ordinary magical attacks. In the process of flying towards Adam Menlo, a Harpy pressed down with its sharp claws. Before it could even get close to the Little Skull, it was pierced by the three meter long bone spur of the Little Skull.
After the Little Skull's thin and small body pierced through the several meter long Harpy, the power of the bone spur didn't diminish in the slightest. It even killed a fire mage on top of it. Riding on the Bone Devil, the Little Skull easily used the bone spur to lift up the huge and heavy Harpy. With a marvelous shake of his hand, a huge amount of death aura flowed along the bone spur into the Harpy's body. Suddenly, the Harpy violently exploded on top of his head.
Pieces of the Harpy's flesh mixed with a dense amount of death aura flew out. They were as heavy as stones. Anyone who came into contact with the flesh of the Harpy's corpse would feel cold and uncomfortable the moment they came into contact with the slightest amount of death aura. Even their movements would become stiff.
The Little Skull flew all the way to Adam Menlo. Along the way, he easily killed a Harpy. Suddenly, everyone understood the horror of this undead creature. While dealing with the gargoyles that filled the sky, they also very tacitly opened up a path for him to directly reach Adam Menlo.
Adam Menlo, who was staring fixedly at dark dragon Gilbert, was riding on the super rank Golden-Winged Roc that could skillfully manipulate wind magic. Its two wings didn't seem to flap much, but there were already wind blades shooting through the air. Those gargoyles that tried to approach Adam Menlo were all killed by the Golden-Winged Roc's wind blades.
Dealing with the super rank Golden-Winged Roc, this kind of highest level magical beast, the group of gargoyles seemed to be somewhat powerless. The golden-winged Roc that could release wind blade magic, even though most of its feathers had fallen off, its body's defensive power was still much stronger than ordinary magical beasts.
It was precisely because of this that Han Shuo didn't waste a large number of gargoyles to attack Adam Menlo. He only let dark dragon Gilbert restrain him. After Gilbert evolved into a rank two magical beast, he was evenly matched with the golden-winged Roc that had been seriously injured by Han Shuo.
Various kinds of acidic, poisonous, and blood-spurting flames attacked. From time to time, they would be mixed with Lania's random attacks, causing Adam Menlo and the golden-winged roc a lot of trouble, making Adam Menlo extremely vexed.
However, the golden-winged Roc was originally a super rank magical beast, and Adam Menlo himself was a Sky Knight. With the combination of the two, their power multiplied. Even Gilbert and Lania weren't able to obtain an absolute advantage.
Just when dark dragon Gilbert was arrogantly pestering Adam Menlo, Little Skull that was riding on a bone demon appeared. After Little Skull arrived at this area, his Purple Demon Eye flashed, and he made a peculiar gesture towards dark dragon Gilbert.
Little Skull first used the bone spear to point at Gilbert, then pointed at the others that were desperately resisting the gargoyles. Shortly after, under Gilbert's astonishment, Little Skull used the bone spear to point at Adam Menlo, who was riding on the golden-winged Roc, and then used his empty hand to point at himself.
After this gesture was completed, Little Skull's Purple Demon Eye flickered, and he looked straight at dark dragon Gilbert. Dark dragon Gilbert's lantern-like dragon eyes foolishly looked at Little Skull. When the Hydra Lania obstructed Adam Menlo and the golden-winged Roc, he cautiously asked, "You mean, you want me to go to other places to attack others, and leave this guy to you?"
Little Skull's Purple Demon Eye flashed with a purple light, and he casually nodded at dark dragon Gilbert, meaning, "That's right, you should leave quickly, don't hinder me!"
Dark dragon Gilbert was incomparably astonished. He carefully looked at Little Skull and the undead creature under him, and for a moment, he was somewhat stunned.
"Damn it, you heartless thing, quickly come and help me!" On the other side, the Hydra Lania was painstakingly obstructing Adam Menlo's attack. Suddenly, she saw that dark dragon Gilbert, who was originally fighting alongside her, was actually stunned there. She couldn't help but hurriedly scold him.
Dark dragon Gilbert suddenly came to his senses, and immediately glanced at Little Skull. He saw Little Skull carrying the three meter long Bone Devil as he arrogantly charged towards Adam Menlo. The three meter long bone spear in his hand pointed at Adam Menlo, and an incomparably huge deathly aura rippled in all directions.
At this moment, dark dragon Gilbert truly felt the terrifying mystical power contained within the Little Skull's seemingly small body! Gilbert suddenly understood that although he had evolved into a rank two magical beast, Little Skull was even more terrifying than him, and even had the strength to kill him, Gilbert.
"Lania, let's go, we'll go kill others, and not waste time with this old thing!" Dark dragon Gilbert, who had understood, suddenly shouted at the Hydra Lania.
"You idiot! Are you crazy? Didn't Master say to let the two of us restrain this old thing? Are you looking for a scolding or a beating? Quickly come and help me! " While the Hydra Lania was speaking, her body gradually disappeared, and soon after, a huge water column fiercely rushed towards Adam Menlo.
"Someone here has volunteered to deal with him, let's not stay here and cause trouble, let's go!" Dark dragon Gilbert shouted loudly, "You slut, quickly come back!"
Lania, who had used the water to conceal her body, gradually revealed herself. Suddenly, she saw Little Skull flying over on the Bone Devil. Suddenly, a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry arose in Lania's heart. She ridiculed Gilbert, "Stupid dragon, is this Little Skull the guy who volunteered?"
Just as Lania's words fell, the Purple Demon Eye of the Little Skull suddenly lit up with a glaring purple light. The three meter long bone spur in his hand suddenly transmitted a surging death aura, and a gloomy and cold feeling spread in all directions.
The Hydra Lania naturally felt that huge aura, and looked at the Little Skull flying over with incomparable horror. She immediately shut her mouth and didn't say a word. Under Dark dragon Gilbert's urging, the Hydra Lania no longer hesitated. With incomparable doubts in her heart, she hurriedly avoided the Bone Devil and the Little Skull, and flew towards Gilbert's side.
"This, what is this Little Skull? Why do I feel a very terrifying power from his body? " The Hydra Lania arrived beside Dark dragon Gilbert. She could no longer suppress the doubts in her heart, and impatiently asked Dark dragon Gilbert.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either. However, I know that he is the first undead creature that Master possesses. It's just that I can't understand — how can a Little Skull have the same terrifying aura as the Bone Dragon! " Dark dragon Gilbert blinked his lantern-like big eyes and explained to the Hydra Lania who came over to inquire about him.
After hearing Dark dragon Gilbert's explanation, the Hydra Lania was speechless in her heart. She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Dark dragon Gilbert's master.
In another area fifty meters away from here, Han Shuo was holding the Demonslayer Edge that was dripping with fresh blood. His face was ruthless and gloomy, and he was currently slaughtering the enemies around him.
Florida was holed up within the layers of protection of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band. He unceasingly released all kinds of light magic, purifying the surrounding gargoyles that were crazily surging over. Under his light magic, the gargoyles turned into ashes one after another.
Among this group, as a light archmage, Florida was the one who posed the greatest threat to the undead creatures. Add to that the fact that he was the leader of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band, his subordinates surrounded him in the center and spared no effort to protect him.
Florida, whose safety was guaranteed within the crowd, expended all of his strength to chant light magic, purifying the gargoyles that surrounded his area into ashes one after another. Low level gargoyles were as weak as zombie warriors and were all weakened under the light magic of this light archmage.
The battle in the sky was like a raging fire. Only Florida's area didn't have many gargoyles crazily surging in. According to this situation, Florida's area should be the most comfortable group of people among the elites of the three great powers.
However, in reality, Florida's area had suffered the most casualties. The number of magical creatures and elites that had been killed far exceeded the other areas that had been besieged by the gargoyles.
This was all because Han Shuo was here!
Wielding the Demonslayer Edge, Han Shuo stared at Florida like a demon bathed in blood. Han Shuo's current strength far surpassed Florida's. If it wasn't for the fearless Rainbow Sickle mercenary band defending with all their might, Florida would've long since died at Han Shuo's hands.
Even so, when the Demonslayer Edge spun in the air, Florida's left leg was pierced through by the Demonslayer Edge. If it wasn't for the timely reaction of a nearby swordmaster, it was likely that Florida wouldn't just have a hole in his left leg.
In this short period of time, five harpies, three gryphons, two frost eagles, and thirteen experts of the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band had all been brutally killed by the Demonslayer Edge. The drops of scarlet blood that dripped from the Demonslayer Edge were the reason why Florida hadn't died yet.
"Heh, how much longer can you hide!" Han Shuo mocked as he looked at Florida with a cruel smile when the corpse of a pegasus fell to the ground.
"Leader, leader, what should we do? Should we retreat?" Next to Florida, the swordmaster who'd saved Florida's life looked at the fiendish Han Shuo and asked Florida with dry lips.
"We still have a chance. Don't you see that the number of gargoyles in the sky is decreasing? Gargoyles are only low level undead creatures after all. There's no way they can stop our footsteps under the attack of so many magic spells! "Florida hid in the middle of the crowd and scanned the surroundings as he encouraged.
"But, we only have a hundred people left!" The swordmaster was obviously a bit afraid of Florida, but still spoke the truth.
"We must win, otherwise the three powers will never have the chance to rise to the peak of power in the Valley of Sunshine!" Florida roared in exasperation.
How could he not know that two-thirds of the experts from the three powers had died? However, he understood that he could only endure and persevere at this time. Otherwise, the large number of casualties would all be for naught.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, a large number of arrows shot out from the Soul Destroyer mercenary band in the distance. The rain of arrows locked onto the invading magical beasts. In an instant, more than ten magical beasts near that area were riddled with holes.
"Everyone retreat!" A roar that resounded through the entire battlefield suddenly came from the distance. The voice came from Laureton of the Cairo mercenary band.
Laureton's bald head was incomparably bright below, his expression extremely ugly. A mage beside him opened his Sky's Eye and described the battle in the sky to Laureton.
Although Laureton hadn't participated in the battle, there were experts from his Cairo mercenary band participating in the battle. Seeing his trusted brothers die tragically one by one, Laureton understood that this so-called sneak attack had completely failed. In order to avoid even greater losses, Laureton had no choice but to roar after transforming into a berserk state.
Florida and Adam Menlo naturally heard Laureton's roar that resounded through the sky. Without waiting for them to take any action, the surviving experts of the Cairo mercenary band directly descended from the sky without saying a word.
Adam Menlo, who was riding the super rank golden-winged roc, was forced to continuously retreat by the Little Skull that was wielding a three meter long bone spur. He had never felt so aggrieved and depressed in his entire life. He couldn't understand why the Little Skull in front of him would actually have such a dense and powerful aura of death.
The Little Skull's three meter long bone spur carried an incomparably terrifying aura of decaying death. Every attack caused Adam Menlo incomparable pain. If it wasn't for the golden-winged roc blocking the attacks for him, Adam Menlo's body would have already been pierced through.
"You, what exactly are you?" Adam Menlo had asked this question many times. He could feel that this Little Skull possessed intelligence, but unfortunately, the Little Skull didn't answer him. It only waved the bone spur in its hand again and again, forcing Adam Menlo to retreat step by step.
"Mas, Master, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer!" After helping Adam Menlo withstand a few stabs, the golden-winged roc finally couldn't help but cry out to Adam Menlo.
It was also at this moment that Laureton's roar sounded from below. Adam Menlo was only stunned for a moment. When he discovered that the people of the Cairo mercenary band were retreating in an attempt to leave the battlefield, a feeling of helplessness and despair suddenly rose in his heart.
"Let's go, we, we should also retreat!" When Adam Menlo said these words, he really felt like crying but had no tears. Adam Menlo, who had pulled out all the trump cards of his family, had originally thought that he could easily destroy the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Who would have thought that the malefic star would once again appear midway, forcibly using the gargoyles that filled the sky to reverse the situation, and even caused great damage to them.
Although this batch of attackers only consisted of a mere three hundred people, they were the true elites of the three major powers. They were the foundation that they relied on to survive. Every one of them was an expert that could take on ten people at once. Who would have thought that they would ultimately end up in such a state?
A sharp cry suddenly sounded from the golden-winged roc's mouth. The golden-winged roc rolled its body in pain and spoke in human language, "Master, Master, there's movement in my body. I can't, I can't anymore!"
Crisp popping sounds suddenly sounded from within the golden-winged roc's body. The golden-winged roc's huge body slowly shriveled up, fresh blood sprinkling down like a fine rain.
An intense corrosive aura of death amidst the dense evil aura suddenly erupted frantically within the golden-winged roc's body, causing the golden-winged roc's body to rapidly shatter. The aura of life gradually drifted further and further away from the golden-winged roc.
In the distance, Han Shuo, who was preparing to deal with Florida, suddenly sensed an incomparably familiar aura. Turning his head to look in the direction of the aura, he suddenly discovered the changes within the golden-winged roc's body. He sensed a familiar evil evil aura within.
Han Shuo was taken aback. He stared in horror at the Little Skull, whose Purple Demon Eye was shining as it stared at the golden-winged roc. Only Han Shuo understood that the intense corrosive aura within the golden-winged roc's body had been wrapped up by the Little Skull's "Hidden Explosion Technique". When the bone spear pierced through the golden-winged roc's body, the Little Skull had hidden the corrosive aura and sent it into the golden-winged roc's body. When the bone spear pierced through the golden-winged roc's body, it suddenly detonated, causing the golden-winged roc's body to suddenly explode!
Han Shuo had long since known that the little skeleton knew a portion of demonic magic, but he hadn't thought that the little skeleton would evolve to such a sinister level. The shock it brought to Han Shuo when this kind of malicious method was used by an undead creature was truly not an ordinary level of shock. Han Shuo couldn't help but sigh inexplicably.
"This guy is getting more and more vicious. He can even master such a vicious method. I really don't know how he did it!" Han Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Father, I learned it all from you. I inherited some of your wisdom!" Suddenly, the Little Skull sent a message, as if he knew of Han Shuo's doubts and explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was immediately stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Am I that sinister and vicious? Han Shuo thought with a bitter smile.
"Take advantage of his weakness and kill him! I learned this from you, Father! " Another message from the Little Skull came. Under the astonished gaze of Han Shuo, the Little Skull rode the Bone Demon and flew toward Adam Menlo.
Due to the internal explosion of the golden-winged roc, Adam Menlo couldn't even stand steadily at this time and couldn't organize an effective attack at all.
At this moment, the Little Skull's three-meter-long bone spear flew over again. This time, there was no golden-winged roc to help him block it. By the time Adam Menlo reacted, the three-meter-long bone spear had already spread to his whole body. He looked down and found a bloody hole in his chest where his heart was.
And the three-meter-long bone spear that took his life, after piercing his body, flew in a circle and once again returned to the Little Skull's hand. The Purple Demon Eye was shining brightly, but Little Skull just looked at Adam Menlo, who was gradually losing consciousness, then turned around and left.
After Little Skull killed Adam Menlo, he once again sent a message to Han Shuo for confirmation, "Father, did I do the right thing?"
At this point, Han Shuo was completely speechless!
