The fire was burning fiercely, but the water around it remained calm. The fire that didn't exist in this world ignored all obstacles and went straight for the two women.
Boom!
With a huge explosion, the water dragon burst apart and white waves splashed everywhere. When the water and foam dissipated, they could see what was behind the fire.
A long scythe had blocked the fire. Carveline and Sinehowze, who were standing behind the scythe, were unharmed.
The long scythe seemed to have appeared out of thin air and stood in front of them.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened. Behind the long scythe that was floating in the air, a silhouette slowly appeared.
The skeletal hand was holding a scythe, and it was wearing a tattered gray robe. As the water rushed into the robe, everyone saw the face under the robe. It was a skeletal skull with golden patterns inlaid on it.
This skeletal scythe was like a reaper from hell. With a simple swing of the scythe, it turned all the fire into nothingness.
"I gather a wisp of Bone Burning Rhino Smoke and invite the God of Death to a banquet." Sinehowze put on a serious face and spread out her hands. Wisps of insoluble smoke rose from her palms. At the same time, several pieces of special ingredients fell from her fingers and were washed away by the tide.
As Sinehowze murmured something, the smoke drifted into the skeleton's nostrils.
As the smoke swirled around the skeleton, it suddenly changed.
Two dark green flames lit up in its dark eye sockets. Then, a voice that seemed to come from the depths of its soul spoke in a low, muffled voice. "Thank you for the banquet."
"Of course you have to pay for the banquet." Sinehowze paused for a second and pointed at the skeleton. "I want you to kill them!"
"As you wish." The green flames in the skeleton's eyes burned brighter as it swung its scythe at the group.
Without hesitation, Keely stepped forward and fought against the skeleton with the scythe. After a few rounds of fighting, neither of them had the upper hand.
Keely sneered. "You're just an undead skeleton. How dare you call yourself the God of Death? Do you really think you can turn the world upside down? "
That being said, Keely's expression was solemn. The Netherworld Lantern's source flame had already been consumed. It was still a little difficult to rely on the remaining Netherworld Flames to fight against the Death God who lived in the Netherworld. Even if it was as she said, and this was a skeleton from the Netherworld, the other party was exposed to the netherworld fire every day in the Netherworld, and naturally had a resistance to it. Moreover, he was able to wield the Death Scythe, which was enough to show that he was not far from the Death God.
The Death God of the Underworld had the battle prowess of an Adept at the very least. A scythe-wielding skeleton was definitely comparable to a rank 3 acolyte. Keely wasn't afraid of an ordinary Level-3 Apprentice, but her opponent's attributes naturally countered hers.
"A trainee Death God is also a Death God." Sinehowze giggled and stared at Angor cautiously.
Neither Angor nor Shan joined the fight. Meanwhile, Carveline was also standing in front of Sinehowze. She raised her sword and aimed her aura at Angor.
Both Carveline and Sinehowze were more concerned about Angor's whereabouts. They didn't know if they could handle him after witnessing what he did in the lava zone.
Keely kept fighting the scythe-wielding skeleton several times, but she was still unable to gain the upper hand. The scythe-wielding skeleton didn't have many long-range attacks, but its resistance to Netherworld Flames was enough to nullify Keely's Netherworld Flame cantrips.
Seeing that Keely couldn't defeat Shan, Shan joined the fray and rushed toward the scythe-wielding skeleton.
Sinehowze frowned when she saw Shan's arrival. She summoned another wisp of smoke and slowly sent it into the skeleton's nostrils.
In the blink of an eye, the skeleton's body grew even larger.
Keely summoned more Netherworld Flames, but this time, she didn't aim them at the skeleton. Instead, she aimed them at Sinehowze. Since she couldn't kill the scythe-wielding skeleton, she decided to kill the one who summoned it.
The wisps of Netherworld Flames drifted toward the skeleton one by one. The scythe-wielding skeleton noticed this and tried to break free.
Shan narrowed her eyes. She wasn't going to let that happen. She stood on Gank's shoulder and performed an unknown sacrificial dance. Gank followed her lead and slapped the water.
She used the barbarian's talent, Trample, in the water. Combined with a special technique, the water around Gank began to swirl rapidly.
"Barbarian's Trample, Deepwater Whirlpool," Shan chanted.
Cantrips never had a fixed usage. By applying the power of Trample to one's hands and changing one's movement slightly, Deepwater Whirlpool could be cast. Shan knew how to change her cantrips easily.
Deepwater Whirlpool had a wide range of effects. Even Angor and Keely had to take a step back so that they wouldn't get dragged into the whirlpool and hurt their allies.
However, the scythe-wielding skeleton was an undead creature. Apart from its resistance to Netherworld Flames, it could also transform into a spirit form. As soon as it entered the whirlpool, it turned translucent and charged at Sinehowze in an attempt to stop the Hellfire that was coming at it.
The scythe-wielding skeleton managed to break through Shan's defense, but Keely wasn't going to give up just like that.
Keely's body suddenly expanded and transformed from her slender girlish form into her half-beast form. Her muscles bulged, and her long, white legs under her skirt turned into furry beast legs. Her red dancing shoes turned into a pair of red claws.
"Red Claw Chaya," Carveline observed Keely's half-beast form with a serious look.
The Red Claw Chaya was a bloodline that boosted one's speed in every aspect. Most of its talents were related to reflexes.
Keely didn't just activate her bloodline this time. Instead, she used her half-beast form, which was the strongest form she could master. She didn't think she could stop the scythe-wielding skeleton with her dexterity alone, so she decided to use her half-beast form to increase her strength.
Just as she had predicted, when she transformed into her half-beast form, she was indeed able to stop the skeleton with the scythe halfway.
The scythe-wielding skeleton swung its scythe at Keely, but it couldn't hit its target. It was also being pushed back by Keely's energy-infused attacks.
Without the scythe-wielding skeleton to stop them, the Netherworld Flames surrounded Sinehowze and Carveline's escape routes. Sinehowze stared at Keely in disbelief. The dark flames swallowed them whole.
"Is it over?" Shan murmured.
Whoosh —
Suddenly, a powerful attack came out of the raging flames, heading straight for Keely.
Keely's reflexes were extremely fast after activating her bloodline. She dodged the attack before it could even reach her.
The flames slowly died down, revealing the scene inside.
Sparks flew everywhere, and white waves flowed down from the ceiling. The first thing Keely saw was a giant scythe and a tattered black robe.
"Another skeleton with a scythe?" Keely frowned. "No, it's … Carveline?"
She saw Carveline standing in front of Sinehowze, wearing a black robe and holding a scythe. She waved her hand and extinguished the Netherworld Flames.
"Death God's Robe," Carveline said calmly. "Stop struggling. None of your tricks will work on me."
Keely's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Carveline's blue dress change into a Death God's robe. "Shepherd God's robe? You're the owner of the Shepherd God's Robe? "
Carveline didn't answer, but it was clear that she was right.
The Shepherd God's Robe could change its appearance at will. After the transformation, the wearer would inherit the power of the Shepherd God's Robe.
In other words, when Carveline turned into the Death God's Robe, all of her power would be converted into the power of the Grim Reaper.
While Keely was still in shock, the scythe-wielding skeleton didn't stop. Netherworld Flames ignited in its eyes, and the scythe surrounded Keely. It was going to kill her.
"Keely! Watch out! "
Shan's voice brought Keely back to reality. But it was too late. The scythe-wielding skeleton, or the trainee of the Grim Reaper, had surrounded Keely with the Death God's Rampart.
Keely was a little dazed by the Death God's Rampart.
She was too careless! When he saw the Shepherd God's Clothing, he was so surprised that he didn't notice that the scythe-wielding skeleton had entered its spiritual form and silently sneaked up on him. No matter how fast he reacted, it would be difficult for him to escape when surrounded by the Death God's Rampart.
Keely was about to take the attack head-on.
Suddenly, a wave of ocean current rushed toward them from afar.
The sound of the current carried the node of the Sonar Illusion and flowed along with the waves. White mist quickly filled the area and blocked everyone's sight.
"Melodious Illusion! Damn it! Angor's here! "Sinehowze quickly backed away. Carveline also joined them.
She didn't do anything earlier because she wanted to keep an eye on Angor. However, when Keely and Carveline were distracted by the Death God's Rampart, Angor finally made his move.
"Don't even think about saving me!" Carveline dashed toward Angor while her robe suddenly transformed into a translucent, colorful butterfly outfit — Phantom Butterfly Robe.
Phantom Butterfly Robe fluttered its wings and destroyed the node of the Sonar Illusion. The white mist disappeared as soon as it appeared.
However, when the illusion shattered, Carveline did not see Angor or Keely anywhere. Only the scythe-wielding skeleton was still standing there in a daze.
Carveline looked back and saw Angor and Keely already standing several hundred meters away, watching her carefully.
Angor was curious about Carveline's new robe.
Carveline, on the other hand, was embarrassed. She thought Angor was looking at her with disdain.
Angor was too fast. He was even faster than the Red-Clawed Tea Luo when he activated his bloodline talent. It was almost like teleportation. Carveline didn't think she was slow. She dashed out of the illusion as soon as the mist covered Keely. It only took her a second or two to turn into a butterfly and break free from the illusion.
But it didn't work.
It only took two seconds for the mist to disappear. Angor was already hundreds of meters away. His speed was not even enough to describe how fast he was.
"You —" Carveline was about to yell at Angor.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a few crisp sounds behind her. Sinehowze screamed in pain. Carveline looked back and saw Sinehowze bending over to cover her mouth. Blood was gushing out of her fingers.
Sinehowze was attacked? When did that happen? Carveline rushed toward Sinehowze with a worried look on her face.
However, just as she passed by the skeleton holding the scythe, she created a stream of water, causing the skeleton that was floating in the same place in a daze to instantly burst out with a crisp "crack" sound.
Under Carveline and Sinehowze's shocked gazes, the scythe-wielding skeleton began to crack from its head to its feet.
In the end, the skeleton turned into a pile of broken bones.
Meanwhile, the black scythe in front of the skeleton slowly disappeared and returned to the Undead Realm.
"The scythe-wielding skeleton is dead?" Carveline looked at Angor and saw him nodding at her with a smile.
Carveline felt a chill down her spine.
Did he kill it?
But when did he kill the skeleton with the sickle? Angor only touched the scythe-wielding skeleton for a split second before retreating with Keely.
Carveline couldn't believe her eyes. Did he really do it? Not only did he take Keely away, but he also destroyed the scythe-wielding skeleton?
"Just a light tap and it's broken." Angor chuckled.
