Chapter 1803  Against Army of the Void Creature (1)

The skeleton armyʼs show boosted the soldiersʼ morale as the cheers resounded. The cheers did not last long as an army of wolves rushed toward the wall they managed to pass the black cloud. The estimated number of wolves was around three thousand, maybe five thousand wolves.

These were not normal wolves, they were void creatures, being made of void elemental energy. They were naturally stronger than whatever void tried to recreate, an upgraded version of what it tried to copy. This time Commander Edson did not stay still, his voice commanded the soldiers.

”Release the spells!!!” His voice boomed, and his soldiers released their strongest spell.

Hundreds of spells were released at the same time, heading toward the incoming wolves. However, the spells met with barriers. Most of the spells exploded and broke the barrier that protected the wolves.

Khaya had an arrow made of snow in her bow as she pulled the bow to the maximum stretch. After witnessing what her captain could achieve, Radiance helped her how to make a similar arrow. It was a weird sensation where she lost control over her body for a moment, but she kept her consciousness and visions. She watched and felt how Radiance created the arrow.

Her attention back to the battle where the sky filled with the spell explosion. It was totally different compared to when her captain shot his arrow. If not for his mistake earlier about his master being dead, maybe Radiance would have told her how her captain could go through the barrier.

”ARCHER! SHOOT!”

The sky was still engulfed in the explosion, and she could not see if that was enough to break the barrier. However, she listened to the command and released her arrow.

Swish!

Her arrow whistled through the air, and she realized the difference between the noise she made and her captainʼs. After seeing it once, she could not help but keep comparing herself with her captain even though Radiance told her that her captain was a battle maniac, someone who almost died many times.

”Whatʼs the effect?” She asked Radiance as her white arrow entered the explosion.

[You will find out soon.] Radiance responded mysteriously.

The hundreds of spells managed to break the barrier, and the arrows passed through the explosion and reached the wolves. The reason why Commander Edson commanded to release the spell first was to break the barrier. The archers did not have enough firepower to destroy the barrier.

Khaya quickly found her arrow that just went through the explosion. Following the white arrow, she hoped to hit one of the densely running wolves. To her despair, the arrow landed in between two wolves. She covered her face with her palms when she saw that the arrow would land between the wolves.

[Donʼt cover your eyes!] Radianceʼs voice surprised him, and she opened her fingers. Through the gap between her fingers, she saw what her arrow could do.

As soon as the arrow landed on the ground, snow spread out in a radius of fifty meters. The wolves did not slip over the snow, but then spikes made of snow burst out and pierced the wolves from below, hanging them in the air as their blood dripped over the snow spikes. The white snow was soon tainted in black by the wolvesʼ black blood.

Khaya repeated what Radiance did as an arrow made of snow formed on her bow. She had a better idea of how to shoot the arrow after seeing the effect. This time she aimed at the path of the wolves instead of trying to land the arrow on one of the wolves.

She saw the barrier above the wolves formed again, but she did not wait for the mage to break the barrier. After a quick calculation, she released an arrow. The arrow did not hit the barrier and landed ten meters away from the incoming wolves. By the time the wolves reached where the arrow landed, the snow spread out in the radius of twenty meters which was followed by snow spikes a second later.

The arrow she created was much smaller than the one Radiance created, but she managed to copy the technique. It was then followed by the spells from the soldiers, breaking apart the barrier once more and followed with more arrows.

They repeated the same action, again and again until they wiped out the black-furred wolves before they could reach the skeleton army. They managed to wipe out the Orc Rider and the wolves, but more were coming. More void creatures came out from the portal and marched toward the wall. Tang Shaoyang managed to delay the march of the army of the void creature in the middle part, but the flanks were advancing without much problem.

This time the whole army had reached the range of the mage and the archers. Commander Edson commanded to fire at full power, trying to thin out the army as much as possible before they could reach the wall. Even though their attempt seemed to be futile as more void creatures kept coming from the portal.

There were more void creatures coming through the portal gate than the void creatures they killed. They did not see the number of the void creatures decrease despite their continuous bombardment. Everyone knew this was just the start of the attack.

Hours of continuous attack delayed the army of the void creature to reach the wall. Tang Shaoyangʼs arrows killed a lot of the void creatures, but that was not enough to delay the army of void creatures. They slowly made their way to the wall as their attacks slowed down. With the missing firepower from the mage, the archers lost their effectiveness because of the barrier.

The soldiers tried to replenish their mana after shooting their spells non-stop for hours. Khaya was the only one still active with her snow arrow even though some of her arrows were destroyed in the air.

The army of the void creatures was closing in, closer to the skeleton army below. Looking down below, less than ten thousand skeletons against the countless void creatures. It was daunting and the soldiers expected Tang Shaoyang to recall the skeleton army.

Khaya also thought her captain would recall the skeleton army even though she hoped the skeleton army would do something amazing to eliminate more void creatures. However, the logical decision was to pull out and fight them out from the wall. Taking down the void creatures that tried to climb the wall would be the easiest way for them to fight the endless void creatures.

”Tch. I thought I could have more fun with my bow.” She heard her captainʼs complaint as he put the bow in the inventory. Then her captain used his bloodline transformation, causing the person next to him to take a step away in surprise.

With no words, her captain jumped off from the one-hundred-meter wall and joined the skeleton army. Khaya immediately took the empty stop that her captain left behind to get a better view below.

Her captain stayed at the back of the skeleton army, and he summoned more creatures. She suspected it was spirits, calamity spirits. Various kinds of calamities were summoned behind the skeleton army. There are some monsters, one Golem with mostly calamities. There were fifty-seven summons in total, and people were confused as to why Tang Shaoyang summoned more summons instead of recalling the skeleton army.

Fifty-seven summons were not that much, even though most of them were calamities, they would not bring a big change to the battlefield.

[They are the remaining contracted spirits. Do you want to know who is the strongest spirit between all of us?] Radiance, who had been radio silent after accidentally slipping up finally spoke again. There was a hint of pride in his tone when he mentioned the strongest spirit.

”Who?” Khaya was interested as she also looked at the fifty-seven spirits, assessing which looked the strongest. She tried to look for one, but her eyes kept returning to the behemoth. Behemoth was a rare species, even rarer than those dragons.

Everyone knew about the Dragon Realm, the home of most of the dragons that were still alive. Behemoth was a unique evolution of a calamity specimen that no one knew.

[Wrong! That red-skinned Orc is stronger than that fool behemoth. The skeleton behind your captain is the same rank as that red-skinned Orc, and the woman who looks like a fallen angel is also stronger than most of us.]

Khaya did not notice the angel next to Tang Shaoyang. The three pairs of black wings folded in so she did not know there was a fallen angel in the contracted spirit. When her gaze fell on the fallen angel, she sensed a terrifying aura that made her heart stop for a moment. It was something she never experienced before even with her years of experience as an administrator.

[Donʼt get to the conclusion so early. The strongest spirit is the gorgeous woman next to your captain.]

Her attention fell on the woman with grayish-blue-colored hair. That color was unique and for certain beautiful. Different from the fallen angel who had a horrifying aura, she sensed nothing from her. Not that she doubted Radiance, but she did not feel anything from her. It was different when he glanced at the red-skinned Orc, the fallen angel, or even the skeleton.

[Donʼt get tricked. Do you feel any aura from your captain in your first meeting?] Radianceʼs question reminded him that Tang Shaoyang also gave off the same impression when they first met. The man looked too normal for someone with that much power.

[You should join them if you want to get more levels. Use this chance to increase your level as well while you still have me, and your captain who will protect you from danger. Your level is kinda pathetic compared to your captain, and I think you understand why he is much stronger than most of the people he met.]

This time Khaya took the offense when Radiance brought up the level. She might not be the highest-level administrator among the administrators, but she was still in the top five percent. Her current level was Level 24,487.

[Your captain…] Radiance almost made a second mistake by leaking his Masterʼs level this time, but he stopped in time. [Not going to make the same mistake again. But yeah, he is much higher than you.]

[Look! Those weak skeletons are about to start something.]

Khaya was distracted by that as she looked down. The skeleton mages made their first move. The first thing they did was to use [Earth Wall]. A thick wall rose from the ground, isolating the skeleton and a part of the void creatures. The half-circle wall limited the army of the void creatures to less than twenty thousand void creatures.
