Chapter 25: Fierce Battle

Chapter 25: Fierce Battle

After a rustling sound, cracks in the surrounding ground arched one after another, and a large number of skeletons drilled out of the ground and attacked them.

Flamme pierced through the head of a skeleton that was slashing at Claudia with a sword, and then kicked it away. The skeleton exploded and knocked down several skeletons behind it at the same time.

The sword in her hand swung. Like a light and agile butterfly, it shuttled around these skeletons, and every time the sword struck, a skeleton split in a half.

Aurora was also resisting the attack of these skeletons at the moment. Compared with the ghouls, these skeletons had extremely low defense, but there were too many of them, and they have no way to move forward for a while.

"We can't go on like this! Flamme, you cover me!"

Aurora inserted the Flamberge Waltz on the ground, and her two fingers emitted a faint golden light to draw a magic circle in midair.

When Aurora began to draw the magic circle, more and more skeletons emerged from the ground, grabbing the rusty weapons littered on the ground.

Their jaws raised and lowered repeatedly, producing cackling sounds that sounded like eerie laughter coming from the abyss as they marched toward the three of them.

Swinging up and down easily smashed two skeletons, Flamme spun around and grabbed the neck of the other skeleton, threw it to the ground hard, raised her leg for a second, and crushed its head with a stomp.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Without turning her head, the crimson-dressed sword spirit thrust her sword backward, piercing the chest of a skeleton who was about to attack from behind. The skeleton swayed yet still walked towards her, completely ignoring the sparks from the sword grinding against its chest.

"Miss Flamme, be careful!"

Claudia had never seen such a scene. Flamme' sword had clearly pierced the skeleton, but it still kept moving forward.

Flamme clapped her left hand to the hilt of the sword, and a fiery pillar of fire erupted from the sword. Not only the pierced one, but even the skeletons behind were instantly turned into fly ash.

"Miss Flamme is too strong!" Claudia clapped her hand and applauded in admiration, but the next second, the long sword with a half-skeleton arm brushed past her ear and nailed it to the wall, "Ah!"

"Careful."

Flamme stood in front of her, and after a long time of slashing, her chest was rising and falling rapidly, and drops of sweat rolled down her face.

Even a sword spirit would be tired from a prolonged battle.

There were just too many of them.

Aurora, who was drawing the magic circle, of course also noticed Flamme's difficult situation. But now it was the critical moment, she could only grit her teeth and finish the magic circle.

While running, Aurora reached out and released small balls of golden light on the ground in front of him. When the skeletons behind stepped on the small balls, they would trigger a small-scale explosion of light elements.

"Gulu Gulu..."

When a fireball illuminated the road ahead, another ghoul appeared in front of them. Its bloated body almost blocked the entire passage. It roared and dragged its body towards them, along with the army of skeletons, the situation turned into a two-pronged ambush.

"Claudia!"

Claudia quickly understood and stretched out her hand to the ghoul in front of her. "Cure!"

"Ahhh!"

The holy light shone on the ghoul's body. It wailed in pain, and its flesh wriggled wildly. There seemed to be something moving back and forth inside, which was extremely disgusting.

"It wants to explode!"

Aurora and Flamme nodded at the same time while looking at each other, and the two speeded up and ran separately from the two sides. As they ran, their swords began to emit red and golden light.

When they were about to approach the ghoul, the long swords in their hands waved and crossed at the same time.

The golden light and red light directly formed an X mark on the ghoul's chest, and a large number of flames and golden light burst out from the ghoul.

It was torn apart on the spot, and the foul-smelling sludge inside its body spewed out like a fountain.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Aurora for gaining 500 experience]

"Holy Light Barrier!" Claudia summoned a translucent shield on top of their heads to block the sludge. The skeletons behind were not so lucky. Some were directly covered from head to toe and melted on the spot into dregs.

"Good team play." Aurora praised.

After running toward the inside again for nearly ten minutes, they finally came to a wider area.

Compared with the plain entrance down the steps, the ground here was actually paved with neat stone roads. There were stone pillars erected on both sides of the road, with light blue lights shining on them to illuminate the place.

At the end of the road was an altar engraved with a magic circle that emitted an ominous purple light.

"Leader! There's someone there!" Claudia exclaimed, pointing at the figure sitting cross-legged above the altar.
