Chapter 636: Has he gone crazy!?
The lost treasure tomb's sky was pitch black, and within that darkness, a group of demi- humans battled undead creatures that had emerged from below. Despite one of them being injured, they had defeated all the undead except for two. Their fatigued expressions glowed with relief as they vanquished another undead.
"Just one more... then we can locate a spot to hide for the night!"
One of them shouted, and everyone around him nodded in accord.
However, at that moment, the ground beneath them trembled, and a massive undead
creature, towering twice the size of a building, crashed onto the land just a short distance away from them.
They were terrified as the enormous skeletal figure, covered in decaying flesh, swiftly rose to its feet and released a thunderous roar. The pair of glowing white eyes in its skull held a hint of anger, a stark contrast to the mindless undead they had been battling until then.
This was the biggest undead they had ever come across, and the group knew they were in big trouble if it caught sight of them! But before they could even think about running, another massive undead crashed onto the one that had just stood up.
The sounds of bones crashing against each other filled the air as dust and debris once again exploded into the air.
The two undead let out roars of anger and frustration as they struggled to stand, and the group's expressions paled. All of them bolted in different directions to safeguard themselves, except for the demi-human at the forefront who was facing the last undead they were originally fighting.
The last demi-human unleashed his most powerful skill to defeat the undead in front of him, but his knees buckled, and his heart almost stopped when one of the colossal undead in the distance locked eyes with him... but then the undead ignored him and shifted its gaze forward. He hurriedly attempted to flee, but his attention was captured by a radiant light in the sky. The light streaked towards the two massive undead and disappeared, revealing the silhouette of a silver-haired man clad in blood-stained clothes. He held his breath and observed as the two undead assaulted the lone man suspended in the air, who faced their attacks head-on. "Oh my gosh!! Someone is battling two supreme-rank undead!!"
Disbelief and shock were evident in his voice as he ran for his life. He couldn't see the silver- haired man's face as the latter had his back turned toward him, and he didn't want to see it either! As he departed, a loud curse echoed in the air.
-"Damn it! Don't move so fast, Kyle, you bastard! Let me catch my breath!"
The sky above lit up with brilliant golden flames as a majestic phoenix appeared above the two colossal creatures fighting the silver-haired man.
Bia glanced at the human who didn't even bother to reply to her and was preoccupied with the two undead.
-"At least don't get injured! When the hell did you become so crazy!?"
Her eyes flickered with concern, yet she refrained from intervening as per Kyle's request. He aimed to elevate his physique and strength to the next rank.
-"Shhhh-! Does he really have to push himself that hard? Can't he just opt for normal training methods to enhance his strength and physique?"
Kyle heard her voice loud and clear, but his mind was fixated on his opponents. He had been battling the undead for hours. His knuckles ached, but he didn't halt; instead, he increased his speed even further. He refrained from utilizing any skills and simply pushed his body to the limit.
One of the undead before him fired a beam of golden light at him, and he spun his body in mid-air to dodge it before landing a solid punch at its stomach area.
A loud sound of bones breaking reverberated through the air as the undead staggered back. Quickly changing position mid-air, Kyle struck the other undead lunging at him from behind. His eyes flashed with a glint as he advanced and seized the arm of the undead he had just punched, ripping it apart from the body. The undead staggered and swung its other arm towards him, trying to smack him underground, but Kyle swiftly moved in and delivered a kick to the center of its chest, where a round plate with a faint symbol was hanging.
He stepped back to reassure them. The group relaxed and somewhat lowered their guards. One of the men among them, who appeared to be the strongest, advanced toward him with a
serious expression.
"We don't know much about th nature's favorite. We only heard about him on the way. The word is, he's been crazily hunting undead, and not just any normal undead, he's going for the
strongest of them."
Alec nodded with a frown, muttering a thanks before swiftly leaving the group.
"What's Kyle up to now?"
He sighed and moved with lightning-fast speed, reaching Nine's location in no time. The merman was hidden inside a cave with a few other individuals and was quite pleased to see Alec. Having already heard about Kyle and Bia, Nine wasn't surprised when Alec mentioned the silver-haired man.
"Leave him be. If he dares to hunt the strongest undead in this tomb, I don't think we need to worry about him at all. He's probably grown stronger after using the platform Jian had told us
about."
Nine sighed deeply and, after casting a glance at the people with him in the cave, he followed Alec. He was a bit surprised that Alec had found him, but he didn't dwell on it. There are many skills one can use to mark others to find their location.
He had one as well, but since it wasn't the strongest, he rarely used it. So, he was sure Alec had also used a similar skill on everyone's bodies to locate them.
They were chatting about the others while heading towards Jian's location after Alec confessed on his own that he could locate everyone because of a skill he had, when a thunderous boom echoed in the distance, shaking everything around them. Nine glanced at
the trembling air.
"What the hell...?"
Without a second thought, the pair moved towards the sound to investigate what was going on but quickly concealed themselves upon spotting a horde of undead. They would have fled the area because battling so many undead was akin to seeking their death if they hadn't noticed the phoenix surrounded by golden flames hovering in the sky and the bloodied figure of a familiar silver-haired man fighting amidst the horde.
Kyle's figure looked eerily small compared to the colossal creatures surrounding him. A vein
bulged on Nine's forehead as he noticed the human's condition.
"That bastard! Has he gone crazy!?"
Alec's expression turned solemn, but it completely sank as he suddenly whipped his head to
the left.
"Mia's heading this way!"
