Chapter 751 Eaten Alive?
"I need some help over here!" A young man shouted at the top of his lungs as the Undead forces inched closer.
They moved slowly through the sand, but that hardly changed how dangerous they were.
"I have enough to deal with here myself," A second voice resounded in between two heavy breaths, "What about you, James?"
"Just die silently if you cannot even stall the Horsemen. How did you even manage to survive in the Sacred Desert this long?" A third voice, James, shouted while killing a Knight riding on a Giant Ghoul Serpent. He twisted his blade in the Skeleton Knight's Core and shattered it instantaneously.
Following the burst of energy influx that entered his body, James felt a burst of strength pass through his body.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
He retrieved a small dagger from his War Rune and hurled it toward a horseman who was about to pass him. The horseman's body fell apart, whereas the Skeleton Horse continued running toward the masses of the living.
The situation was far from easy. The Undead forces reached the last line of defense from three bordering territories. James and the two other Lords tried their utmost to fight the incoming forces, but most of their subjects had already been eliminated. The Infantry Units and the Warbeasts had been moving fast enough to overwhelm most human soldiers in no time.
Only the strongest subjects and the Awakened were left alive. They caused considerable damage to the Undead forces, but their kills barely changed anything. There were too many undead to kill.
Other than the Horsemen, the Knights riding the Giant Ghoul Serpents, the soul-devouring Death Vultures, the Undead Dire Wolves, the Anubirats, and Kleshabits, there were also Bone Titans, beings that could have been considered Mythical Existences when they were still alive. Even in death, the Bone Titans were incredibly strong. Some had already ascended to a Higher Lifeform, but even the Peak Tier-3 Bone Titans were strong enough to kill ordinary Tier-4 Higher Lifeforms.
The Bone Titans weren't many. There were only a few. It wouldn't be an issue to deal with the Bone Titans if there weren't countless Undead Awakened and Undead
Summons, who'd been resurrected after dying, circling the Bone Titans and the other Undead forces.
A single glance in the direction of the Undead forces was enough to worsen the fear that permeated every inch of their being. No matter where they looked, they saw the Undead forces. The Undead inched closer and threatened to surround the forces of the two human Lords, who could only watch as their hard-earned land was being overrun. A loud scream reverberated through the surroundings once again.
James glanced to the scream's source even though he could already guess what was happening. The other human Lord fell victim to the Undead.
He grit his teeth and was about to jump back onto the battlefield. If he had to die, James wanted to die a heroic death.
However, before he could jump into the battlefield like a kamikaze fighter, James felt several powerful presences behind him.
Small earthen spikes shot out of the ground around James, piercing the cores of the Undead that had threatened to tear him apart in the next few seconds.
A moment later, dozens of icicles shot past James. The icicles pierced through the first target with a clean hit and continued moving until shattering upon hitting the second target.
Once the icicle shattered, a frozen flower blossomed around the area of impact. The target ended up encased in the flower, which shattered after all of its power had been infused into it.
As the frozen flowers shattered, the bodies they'd encased also shattered.
"They're weaker than expected," A hoarse voice resounded, only for a second to add.
"I don't know what you expect from Undead at the 2nd Tier. Obviously, we're stronger than them."
"How about we focus on our enemies?" A third one added, "There are more than enough enemies to tire y'all out. Kaleb. Lincoln. Please focus!"
Kaleb Zenovia, Lincoln Piedra, and Zeke Lavita arrived in the Sacred Desert.
