Inside the dissipating waves of flames and disintegrating coils of black smoke, time seemed to slow down as Udil and Zaito faced each other, both of them were holding what they had just picked up - a black book and a pair of daggers, respectively.Different shades of tiny bright colors, suddenly started to reappear, illuminating the gloomy night and ongoing battle in the graveyard. Now that Grim Reaper was dead, the fireflies were back, especially the red ones.
At the buzz of the insects, three playing cards imbued with magic energy immediately shot out from Zaito"s right hand. This attack was flicked at a point-blank distance, heading towards its target - Udil.
Grrurrrghkk!
A giant skeleton hand, suddenly shot out of the ground between Udil and Zaito, blocking the cards before disintegrating.
Caught in surprise by a new kind of danger, Zaito"s reflex response was to dash out, retreating from Udil. He had already accomplished his objective, which was to get hold of the black-labeled weapon. However, another headache has arrived. Al seemed to have the power to summon the undead, with the use of the black book in his other hand.
"Gather!" The Divine Magician immediately sent a command in their team chat as he regrouped with Pilades, successfully distancing himself from Udil.
Zaito was still not confident of Udil"s exact strength as every time they clashed; the latter never runs out of surprises. So, he"ll be needing every hand he could get, in this last showdown.
Boba and Zhahk were previously fighting toe to toe with Papa Bear and SwitchFoot, when suddenly all of the surrounding corpses turned against them, upon the death of Grim Reaper. The increase in the attacks that they were receiving, instantly turned the tide of the battle against their favor. The overwhelming number of monsters quickly annihilated all of the supporting illusions that were formed from Zaito"s "Magic World." They were already in a retreat when Zaito called for a regroup.

Simple-minded as he was, Papa Bear rallied the corpses, when he saw that these monsters were not attacking him and his allies anymore. "That"s it! Now that your boss is dead, it"s time to jump sides. Good job in picking the winning team! Haha!" The orc laughed, expressing his amus.e.m.e.nt while pounding his chest.
Papa Bear was taking pride in his contribution to the match; the MVP Award was already set on his sight. The Orc Charger raised his hammer, acting as a commander in the ensuing battle. "Charge! Don"t let those dummies escape from us! Eat their brains, you skulls!"
The death of Grim Reaper caught the attention of SwitchFoot as he immediately shot a look towards Udil"s position. He was guessing that Al was now the one controlling the corpses upon seeing the black book in the man"s hand. Shaking his head, the Savage a.s.sa.s.sin helplessly joined the vibe of the Orc, not intending to interfere with his rider"s imagination anymore. The two charged with the corpses, while Macca and CancerIsLife, who were still confused about the sudden flow of things, helplessly followed suit.
JanuaryEmbers, Boba, and Zhahk immediately rushed to Zaito and Pilades" position, each one of them, flawlessly filled in the gaps, forming a defensive formation. The Magician and Mage were standing back-to-back inside the triangular arrangement of the Vanguard, Swordsman, and a.s.sa.s.sin. Their angelic white wings fluttered with confidence as they surveyed the multiple opponents that were rus.h.i.+ng toward them. The group has been through a lot of training, and a disadvantage in numbers will not make them falter.
Meanwhile, Al was thrilled by the new effects of the "Black Bible." This was the last stage of his plan; however, it exceeded what he was preparing by folds. Previously, the item only granted immunity against the corpses, but this time, it allowed Al to control the endless summons, with each creature capable of causing at least 5% True damage, which could bypa.s.s invulnerability and blocks. It was just what he needed to counter the rapid HP recovery of the five from Burning Orient.
Only the red fireflies were able to return, out of the other features that were previously removed by the limited event. The destroyed towers no longer rebuilt themselves, and the map was now only a straight line, consisting of the middle lane, while the dome of black smoke has now replaced the maze of tombs, creating a barrier.
The team from Burning Orient was in a tight position. They were surrounded.
On the side that leads to their base was Udil, whose strength was still mysterious and full of variables. On the other side, that was facing their opponents" territory were the charging corpses led by Papa Bear, who was riding SwitchFoot, Macca, and CancerIsLife could also be seen following from behind. To the sides were the black domes of smoke, which could result in instant death upon contact, according to the system, when it closed the left and right lanes. An illumination of red fireflies was in a frenzy on top; they were starting to gather for a dive attack. The breaking point was the cracks that were quickly appearing below the Divines" formation - rotting hands were emerging from where they were standing.
"Zhahk immediately equip this! Everyone, charge ahead!" Zaito tossed the pair of daggers to the Divine a.s.sa.s.sin as he activated a spell with his wand while moving. He was pointing his weapon towards the direction with the least resistance - Udil"s!
Burning Orient has not yet been able to use all of their trump cards fully. It was time to unleash them finally!
"Hey! You kiddos! Come back here! Face me! Man-to-man!" Papa Bear hollered as the five from Burning Orient turned their backs on him.
"This is bad! SwitchFoot a.s.sist Udil immediately!" Macca was still a bit far; his arrows could barely make a difference to save his ally.
The red fireflies finally dived as more corpses rose from the ground, while the remaining nine players were all charging in the same direction - towards Udil!
Al simply grinned as more undead monsters rose in front of him, creating a barrier of bodies.
Meanwhile, Zaito has finally completed his spell casting - one of the new skills he has yet to use.
At Level 8, the Divine Magician had already revealed three of his four active cla.s.s skills, namely, "Salamance," "Magical s.p.a.ce," and "Deck Slicer," and his newly crafted weapon"s active skill - "Magic World."
The strongest one was yet to be unleashed.
Flying Circus!
Wisps of green energy in different shapes of objects and animals that were usually used in magic shows suddenly materialized out of thin air. Rabbits, parrots, throwing knives, a lion, and the entire circus seemed to surround Zaito - a domain skill!
