One-Eyed Monster

Bigas’s words were decisive, without the slightest hesitation. This kind of expression of defending duty to the death made everyone feel invigorated.

The team of Soul Guardians regained their spirit at this moment, and their guardianship became more tenacious.

But this mental encouragement can only sustain them momentarily, unable to permeate the entire resistance process. Physical exhaustion and the depletion of Spirit Power made them weaker, and the original barrier had already opened some gaps!

It won’t be long before this defense line collapses entirely!

Bigas wanted to change this state, she wanted to turn the tide, but now she couldn’t even unleash her full Ice Seal power. Continuing like this, there’s no way to stop this enemy...

Most infuriatingly, they still hadn’t figured out the enemy’s position. They only knew the enemy could control these undead. If they could find the enemy’s position, they could focus all their energy on dealing with the real enemy...

But they still couldn’t find a trace of the enemy, which was a very painful thing.

The enemy’s attack method, the enemy’s position, who the enemy was, none of these were discovered.

This was very hard for Bigas to accept; her previous arrogance made her very vulnerable, but this influence was peaceful, and she couldn’t perceive this change.

However, many things happen like this invisibly, directly affecting many things.

Bigas’s arrogance made her believe she could lead these Soul Guardians to protect this place. Their barrier, their resistance, their initiation of resistance, every step proceeded methodically. This was the most normal reaction, the most normal method of resistance.

They didn’t know that all their actions were moving to the opponent’s rhythm.

Under the opponent’s control, they had no chance to turn the tables.

The opponent intended to exhaust them over three days and three nights, draining their physical strength and Spirit Power. This type of exhaustion occurred invisibly; the opponent wouldn’t increase their speed because they wanted to infuriate them, causing them to resist in a fit of rage until completely exhausted.

This was a very insidious tactic, a tactic that kept Bigas and others resisting constantly, cheering themselves up continuously. This method of encouraging themselves was akin to injecting themselves with spiritual opium, further hastening their collapse from their already depleted state.

This was the opponent’s plan, an almost perfect plan.

Bigas was completely unaware of the situation; she was still cheering for herself and the Soul Guardians, yet her Ice Seal Spell told her she was already on the brink of Spirit Power depletion. If they didn’t rest soon, they would collapse.

But the situation onsite didn’t allow them to rest! This was truly a tricky problem!

The Soul Guardians were still resisting continuously; all of them were similar to Bigas, with their own spells unable to unleash their full power.

With a thunderous crash, the orange sky suddenly cracked, and the entire barrier shook!

”Master, Master, I really can’t hold on!” The spirit entity state of Witch Spirit, Kuruto, had paralyzed on the ground at this moment, unable to maintain its state, as Spirit Power couldn’t replenish once more, thus it couldn’t continue.

This was expected, yet Kuruto’s barrier collapsing marked the beginning of a meltdown because everyone there was holding on with gritted teeth; its collapse disrupted the already deflated Soul Guardians and caused them to kneel on the ground.

”Leader...” The Soul Guardians felt frustrated, unable to determine what was happening with the enemy; the enemy never appeared from beginning to end.

They were unyielding; these undead had been shattered by them, but they kept standing up over and over again. Was this an achievement of transcending life and death, a familiar power?

Such failure felt truly frustrating, feeling suffocated as they were worn out like this, truly having a hard time expressing their grievances.

Bigas also felt this helplessness, but she couldn’t show it. The entire team still needed her to support them; if she were to fall like this, they would be truly finished.

Where exactly was this enemy!

Bigas observed once again, but even when the Spirit Power was abundant, she found nothing, let alone now when the Spirit Power was close to depletion!

Suddenly, Bigas sensed a familiar Spirit Power; this Spirit Power was very strong.

Bigas shook her head; was it the case that her Spirit Power approaching exhaustion was causing some disarray, why did she feel the presence of Alchemy Workshop’s Spirit Power.

If the Alchemy Workshop had found their way here, wouldn’t their barrier be completely wasted!

Bigas prepared to verify her perception once more, but before she could gather her meager Spirit Power, a familiar voice reached her ears.

”Truly worthy of Soul Guardians. If this barrier hadn’t been broken, I wouldn’t have been able to find it.”

Maybe the previous Spirit Sensing was wrong, but this time the auditory perception was unmistakable.

This was Kuyi Tulan’s voice; Bigas was too familiar with this voice.

The collapse of the barrier still let the Alchemy Workshop discover it, and this guy came really fast!

”Kuyi Tulan!” Bigas gritted her teeth.

”Oh, hello Bigas, we meet again!” Kuyi Tulan suddenly appeared, making people feel surprised indeed.

”You bastard!” Bigas could hardly conceal her anger.

”Don’t be like this, I’ve said very early on, we’re not enemies, Bigas,” Kuyi Tulan extended a hand, a strange glow emanating from the tattoo on his arm, the action of the Alchemy Equation, and soon, many fierce beasts appeared among the attacking undead.

Alchemy Workshop’s Battle Alchemy Beast, a level-up version of the Exchange Beast, now the Alchemy Workshop could be called a manufacturing bureau of battle machines...

”Xiso never wants to hand over his most precious thing, his will I could never get, truly a pity.” Kuyi Tulan turned to Bigas and spoke; indeed, this was what he had been doing all these days.

”What did you do to Xiso!” Mentioning Xiso, Bigas’s emotions were heightened.

”I’m protecting him, I wouldn’t abandon someone like him, only he could deduce such an important matter; unexpectedly, he naïvely let you guard here.”

”What exactly do you want to do!” Kuyi Tulan’s arrival indeed lessened the Soul Guardians’ pressure, allowing them all to take a breath, giving Bigas the chance to question Kuyi Tulan’s purpose.

”Isn’t it obvious what I want to do, I’m helping you guard, I’m sharing your burden,” Kuyi Tulan spread his hands, clearly considering himself reinforcement.

However, none of the Soul Guardians expected that their reinforcement would indeed be the head of the Alchemy Workshop.
