Metisha did not think too much when she opened her Wings of Spirit. She was like a general protecting her subordinates. But when she saw the black-clothed Undead General looking at her quietly, she realized that she had done something wrong. It stretched out its right hand and held the huge black scythe in its spiked metal glove, and gently placed it down.
Haku disappeared from her sight in the next moment.
The Silver Elf instinctively pulled her spear back, but it was too late. She looked up, and the radiance on her Wings of Spirit dimmed. It was a cold scythe that blocked the light, and a black ray of light was drawn from the scythe from top to bottom. Crack! The silver chainmail shattered into pieces and fell to the ground like flickering leaves. Rose-Colored blood bloomed like a bright red flower. Metisha looked at the wound that extended from her shoulder to her lower abdomen in disbelief. Her face was pale.
When the undead general landed, he reached out his hand from under his black cloak and grabbed her by the throat. He pushed her forward and threw the Silver Elf off the unicorn like a kite with a broken string. She fell to the ground with a thud. A cloud of dust rose.
The Dark Knight landed on the ground at the same time. There was not a trace of emotion under his cold metal mask. He calmly swung his scythe forward. The crescent-shaped scythe cut out a perfect semicircle. The wind pressure was like a knife that swept out in all directions. The mercenaries who had come to their senses and wanted to help the female knight were sent flying.
The mercenaries screamed and retreated. It was as if the scythe had swept through straw. When Haku landed on the ground, a vacuum semicircle with a radius of ten meters formed around him. The unicorn stood in front of Metisha, but the undead general knocked it to the ground. He looked down at the girl lying on the ground. Metisha was lying quietly in a pool of blood. Her pale silver eyes were a little unfocused.
The girl coughed up blood occasionally. The bright red blood flowed down her fair, slender neck and formed eye-catching red spots. The girl could barely feel her own body. She could only feel the pain spreading along her nerves. A kind of exhaustion gradually took over her mind. Her consciousness seemed to be fading away. However, in her darkening vision, the girl saw the cold mask magnifying. Haku squatted down beside her and grabbed her by the throat with one hand.
"Metisha, you still haven't improved —" Haku said.
The Silver Elf Princess trembled and coughed out a mouthful of blood. "Cough, cough, you-" She struggled to squeeze out the words, only to see that Bai had closed one of his eyes, and the other was burning with golden flames as he looked at her motionlessly.
Mind Reading!
"Damn it —" The girl clenched her teeth and focused. Her remaining Soul Energy sealed the space around her body like flowing water...... Although Mind Reading could only read one's thoughts on the surface, it was still despicable. In the circle of upper-class wizards, only the filthy and despicable people would use such a trick.
However, Mind Reading was widely spread among the dark nobles in Madara. Metisha was not familiar with these undead creatures who lived in the shadows. If Brando was here, he would at most laugh. However, the Fairy Princess was trembling with anger as if she was greatly humiliated.
The scythe-wielding undead general shook his head.
"Cough, cough. I can't …" Metisha shook her head weakly as if she was trying to break free from the general's grip. She felt her consciousness fading away. Then, she felt a cold sensation on her neck. The spiked metal glove was strangling her throat, making her feel very uncomfortable. She knew she could not hold on any longer, but she had to warn her lord.
Haku looked at her motionlessly. There was a kind of pity in his golden eyes. The Silver Elf Fairy Princess trembled. She immediately felt as if there was an invisible wall on the battlefield that bounced back her telepathic thoughts.
Her telepathic connection with Brando was cut off.
"You … Cough, cough …" Metisha coughed painfully.
"There are many ways to use the Soul Element. The undead of Madara have a lot of knowledge on how to use it. I am no exception. "Haku held the Fairy Princess' neck tightly as if he was catching a bird. He replied coldly," Soul Barrier: Absolute Seal. In this space that I created, I can cut off all connections with the material world. If you want to enter or leave, you must have power that surpasses mine — "
Haku's voice stopped abruptly. He suddenly turned around.
He raised his hand to block in a certain direction. A fiery red figure shot out like a flame from the ground. It was mixed with galloping lightning. "Bang!" Several long arcs of lightning flashed in the darkness. Haku groaned. However, Scarlet had already exchanged blows with his left hand with her spear. Then, she quickly retreated.
"There is another Gold-tier existence." The undead Knight stared at the red-haired girl standing in the distance and said, "That young man has many capable subordinates."
"Let her go!" Scarlet looked at Metisha in Haku's hand and gritted her teeth.
Bai Leng snorted coldly. He threw Metisha aside and swung his scythe at Scarlet. The red-haired girl was slightly stunned. She felt that Haku had suddenly disappeared from her sight. But in the next moment, the cold scythe had already touched her neck. The cold aura of the scythe brought with it a sharp pain. Scarlet's heart went cold. When she rushed over from afar, she saw the scene of Haku and Metisha fighting. She originally thought that was Haku's true strength. But compared to this moment, she did not expect that he was actually holding back.
This undead's strength was beyond her imagination. According to the young man, this undead was at least at the peak of Gold-tier. In fact, only those at the peak of Gold-tier would be able to grasp the basic method of activating their Elemental Powers. But the Spiritual Barrier was invisible, so Scarlet did not know that she had missed the best chance to estimate Haku's strength.
Scarlet gritted her teeth and dodged to the side to avoid being hit by the scythe's sharp edge. The moment the scythe touched her body, she let out a muffled groan as she was sent flying. Even though the attack was much heavier than Medissa's, the red-haired girl was still able to get up quickly with her hands on her shoulder.
The Oracles' natural defense and regenerative abilities were far stronger than the weak elves'.
"Eh?" Haku was slightly stunned. He thought that his attack with eighty percent of his strength should have killed Scarlet. He did not expect her to get up as if nothing had happened. But if this Black Knight, one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, knew that this girl with a long red ponytail was able to recover after being hit by Eckman, a monster who had activated his Elemental Powers, and was lying down for a week, then he would have used his full strength in that attack.
The moment the two of them exchanged blows, they left the empty space where Medissa was. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity, but the mercenaries were cowering after the previous loss and no longer dared to move forward.
Scarlet gritted her teeth and looked at these guys, her amber eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
However, the leader of the Rose and Wine Mercenary Group, Cornelius, was currently hesitating. His slender silver hair was covered in sweat. The enemy's strength was beyond his imagination, and his confidants were also advising him to leave. But that young man was not someone to be trifled with. Not only was he a descendant of a noble, but he also had many Gold-ranked fighters under him. No one would believe that he did not have a strong background.
However, when he raised his head, he immediately saw the elite skeleton spear-throwers under the command of the undead knights. They began to surround the heavily injured Medissa in the center of the battlefield.
The undead were like a tide.
Cornelius gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. If they disobeyed Brendel's orders, they might be killed, but now they had to face a more realistic threat. The undead were obviously stronger, and the masked Black Knight had injured Medissa and Scarlett. That was a fact that everyone had witnessed. He sheathed his sword and was about to give the order to retreat, but just as he was about to take a step back, he felt his clothes being grabbed by a small hand.
It was the little girl.
The silver-haired middle-aged man lowered his head and saw Sifrid looking at him with a pair of deep emerald eyes. "Uncle?" She asked in a small voice.
Cornelius was startled. He knew what Sifrid was trying to say. But how should he answer her? Should he tell her that his uncle was preparing to escape? He opened his mouth, but found that he could not say anything. Sifrid's serious expression reminded him of his daughter. His wife and daughter had died in the chaos. Erouine's borders had been chaotic for decades, and almost everyone who lived there had experienced the hardships of war.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Leader?" His confidante asked.
Cornelius opened his bloodshot eyes: "Let's take a gamble."
Everyone around him was stunned.
"Let Martha win or lose!" Cornelius said through gritted teeth.
"Let Martha win or lose —!"
The mercenaries finally made their move. They charged forward and collided with the rows of skeletons. The battle began in an instant. The mercenaries who were closest to Medissa immediately formed a human wall to protect the Elven princess. They helped her up from the pool of blood. Medissa shook her head as she realized the situation she was in. But she immediately remembered that she still had one last chance to change the situation on the battlefield.
Metisha took a deep breath.
… …
Scarlet and Haku crossed paths. When she was wounded for the third time, she suddenly heard the mercenaries shouting at her from behind. The red-haired girl stubbornly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. When she turned around, she heard the mercenaries shouting at her, "Attack that guy with all your might!"
[Attack with all my might?]
[What do they mean?]
Scarlet was stunned for a moment, but she quickly saw Metisha sitting in the middle of the crowd. The Silver Fairy Princess's eyes were almost unfocused, but there was a glimmer of hope burning in her eyes. She immediately understood what they meant. "Attack with all my might?" She raised her halberd, and a dazzling arc of light appeared at the tip of the Lightning Spear. The red-haired girl brandished her halberd and blocked the approaching Undead Knight.
Haku was stunned.
Scarlet leveled her halberd, and in an instant, countless lightning bolts appeared around her body. Even her red ponytail was disheveled, and her hair fluttered in the wind. She stared at the Undead Knight, revealing her canine teeth as she chuckled. The lightning around her body immediately coiled around her halberd.
"Seventh String —"
"Sound of Thunder!"
