“These damned beasts have forgotten their history of defeat.”
"We need to teach them a lesson."
He waved his hands, and a surge of magical power roared as a deep black gate slowly rose behind him.
The frame of the gate is carved with countless spirits, maintaining a fleeing posture, as if trying to escape the gate's constraints. On the left and right sides of the gate are engraved two terrifying beings.
On the left is a vicious dog with three heads, its breath seemingly spewing forth dark flames.
On the right is a corpse wrapped in a light veil, dripping blood all over its body, with blood tears flowing from its eyes, and ghostly voices echoing around it.
Death Knight Tier 4 Skill: [Dark Gate]
This is Baal's skill of fusing with divinity; all his skills are based on this skill, forming his unique fighting style.
Click click click.
The sound of chains grinding came from inside the door.
pat pat pat.
The sound of a large army advancing could be heard coming from inside the gate.
Hissing.
The sound of horses neighing came from inside the gate.
"Bang!!!"
It was as if the gates of the underworld had been opened, the door suddenly bursting open from the inside, and dark winds rushed out, causing all the surrounding demonic bats to scream in agony.
Countless black chains surged forth, but their target was not the demonic bats on the battlefield; instead, they were found in some strange, deserted corners.
The chains stretched out, as if they had touched something, and began to wrap around it. Soon, one undead after another appeared.
Inside were demon bats and fallen soldiers of the Knights of the Order, all of whom have now been dragged into this gate to the underworld and become Baal's allies.
Undead soldiers, clad in tattered armor, marched out of the gate in orderly ranks, led by a skeletal horse as tall as two men.
Its eyes gleamed with eerie blue flames, and wherever it walked, dark flames ignited, melting the earth.
Baal mounted his horse, a crown rising above his head like that of a knight king from an ancient expedition.
Death Knight Tier 3 Skill: [Soul-Stealing Chains]
Tier 4 Skill: [Dark Gate - Knight King]
Tier 4 Skill: [Dark Gate - Netherworld Steed]
The tide of battle was turned in an instant.
The fourth-tier demon bats all huddled inside the cave, and the low-tier demon bats outside were completely unable to withstand Baal's offensive.
Deserving of the title of Grand Master of the Knights, Baal alone is equivalent to an army.
The undead soldiers slashed at the demonic bats in the air, and flames ignited on the wounds they inflicted, as if burning their souls.
Wherever the bone horse passed, the demon bats were instantly trampled into dust.
The dead demon bats were once again taken back by the Dark Gate and transformed back into Baal's power.
Meanwhile, the eighth and ninth in command of the Knights, a sorcerer and a tactical mastermind, also used their skills to drive the demon bat army into a retreat.
Leila only rested for a short while before returning to the battlefield, emitting beams of moonlight from her mouth to harvest the third-tier demon bats.
"Squeak-"
Inside the cave, the fourth-tier demonic bats could no longer sit still.
They hadn't expected Kanriel to receive reinforcements. They assumed Kanriel was already overwhelmed with dealing with his own kind in the city, so how could he have reinforcements?
In fact, it was Milair's suggestion.
She knew the situation in the city was critical, but she also knew that Leila was the absolute key to this battle.
Only when Leila kills monsters can the power of her master and others increase.
So she suggested to Baal that reinforcements be sent to the cave.
The reason given is quite simple.
If the cave falls, the army will eventually reach the main city, and the defeat will be irreversible.
To her surprise, Baal agreed immediately.
That's why the two of them brought a portion of their troops to the cave.
"Zhizhizhizhi——"
The fourth-tier demon bats in the cave couldn't wait any longer.
Sensing something was amiss, and seeing their kin dying one after another, they surged out and pounced on Baal.
They all realized that the guy in the green robe was the key to the other side.
But suddenly, a dark, mysterious light appeared, as if a low murmur from ancient times echoed, and in an instant, a net of flowing light seemed to form in the air.
Three fourth-tier demonic bats were the first to be caught in the net, their huge fleshy wings bursting with blood lines as they fell to the ground with mournful cries.
Baal stared in surprise at Milair, whose chest was now adorned with half a terrifying human figure, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Milair to be so strong, even though she had only just reached the fourth rank of the upper class.
It must be because of that man.
He was absolutely certain and somewhat relieved that he hadn't ultimately chosen to attack Luo Xiu; otherwise, Miler alone would have been enough for him to deal with.
Milair's expression was indifferent.
She entered that state again, disregarding these ordinary fourth-tier demon bats, leaving them all alive so that Leila could finish them off.
What really caught her attention were the fourth-tier demonic bats, which were significantly larger than the fourth-tier ones. They were equivalent to the strength of the upper-level fourth tier and there were quite a few of them.
She crossed her arms, and the black figure in front of her also crossed its arms.
"Ending with death."
She murmured, her eyes seemingly shimmering with countless magical fragments. In an instant, the two daggers in her hands transformed into two giant scythes, carrying a terrifying aura of death and conjuring countless light and shadow.
【Double Gods of Death - The End of Death】
In just a moment, fatal wounds appeared on the bodies of the weaker demon bats in the sky, and they fell to the ground with a rustling sound. Immediately afterwards, the stronger demon bats also felt the approach of death.
After Miler advanced to the fourth rank, Luo Xiu added nearly 2000 points to her. Now, she can be said to be the first person in the fourth rank of the upper class besides Luo Xiu.
But just then, a deep sigh echoed from the Demon Bat Cave.
The sigh carried regret, and also seemed to contain doubt and incomprehension.
The moment they heard it, both Barr and Milair felt a chill run down their spines, and a look of seriousness flashed in their eyes.
The next second, something seemed to flash across the sky.
The light and shadow cast by Milair's giant scythe were all blocked.
The strong, fourth-tier demon bats all folded their three pairs of wings, leaving only one pair of fleshy wings to maintain flight, seemingly to express their highest respect to the newcomers.
"It's a pity you're going to die here."
The unfamiliar language of the Grand Continent rang out, carrying a chilling aura, as if freezing the entire battle.
Chapter 195 The Tragedy of the Fifth Order
As a sinister figure appeared in the sky, the entire battlefield seemed to freeze.
The raging winds suddenly ceased, and the wide-open gates to the underworld no longer exuded an aura of death; in fact, they seemed to be showing signs of closing back down.
Miler's face was grim; she could feel the figure in her chest wary, wanting to crawl back into her body.
All of these phenomena indicate that the figure that appeared was definitely not a fourth-tier being.
Sure enough, when the figure stopped, its true form was revealed.
Five pairs of wings, blotting out the sky, slowly unfolded, casting a huge shadow over the jungle below.
The entire sky seemed to darken, and the figure, with its back to the moon, could not be seen clearly; only a vague human form could be discerned.
But all the members of the Knights knew that it was definitely not human.
Because its strong, fishy odor cannot be faked.
"What a pity, I wanted to watch it a little longer."
The figure spoke, her voice a deep female voice, like a hand with long fingernails brushing across everyone's faces, causing goosebumps to rise on their skin.
Milair lowered her eyes and glanced to the side, meeting Leila's gaze.
The two instantly understood each other's meaning.
The next second, Milair and the figure on her chest unleashed a shower of light, accompanied by a rapid whooshing sound, as if to sever the heavens. From Leila's mouth, moonlight surged, spiritual light flashed, and a terrifying rainbow burst forth.
Immediately afterwards, Tassanya, Baal, and the eighth and ninth in line of the Knights of Favonius all unleashed their most powerful skills.
At the same time, everyone was forced to retreat.
Their fifth-order power was far beyond their capabilities.
No one expected that the Demon Bat would send out a fifth-tier unit this time.
This is a blatant breach of contract.
This also means that Kanriel's fifth tier will participate in the battle.
Such a war is a disaster for all low-level beings, whether human or monster.
Once the war fully breaks out, even if the Bats win, they will have to bear losses they cannot afford.
It's important to know that the Demon Bats' enemies aren't limited to the Kingdom of Dorant; many other monsters are also eyeing them covetously.
So they're absolutely crazy to do that.
Unless... they are confident they can take down Kanriel with minimal losses.
The terrifying thought crossed everyone's minds, but soon their attention was drawn to something even more horrifying.
The terrifying figure didn't even make a move; it simply flapped one of its five enormous fleshy wings, and everyone's skills were blocked, disappearing like raindrops falling into water.
